Interior Build

 

Inside, the 2022 Tundra has a chunky dashboard with prominent air vents and a smooth, thick center section that joins the door panels. The materials utilized on the center console, doors, and dash are much better than what was utilized in the previous gen. Of course, the quality becomes better with the trim levels. The top-of-the-line edition has beautiful wood accents. The 2022 Toyota Tundra models have a flexible center console with good cubby space and a big center bin. There are a pair of analog gauges and a driver-info display as the standard instrument panel. The top models have a 12-inch digital gauge cluster. The 2022 Toyota Tundra comes in a couple of body styles with several different cargo-bed lengths. The extended cab is available with an eight for or a more than six-foot bed. The crew cab is given a similar option.

 

Utility

 

Neither of the engine options in the 2022 Toyota Tundra has been rated for mpg estimates by the EPA. Early estimates from the company are that the default engine gives more than 19 mpg in a rear-wheel drive and more than 18 mpg with a four-wheel drive. These figures are widely compared to the fuel economy of rivals with equal power output.

 

Technological Changes

 

The 2022 Toyota Tundra is more technologically impressive than the previous models. The pocket-friendly versions of the 2022 Toyota Tundra come with a four-inch driver info display and a seven-inch touchscreen. This runs an updated version of the firm's Audio Multimedia operating software. The choice list area has a completely digital 12-inch driver display and a huge 13-inch touchscreen mounted to the center dash. The updated touchscreen is fitted with a high-resolution display that gives swifter responses to user inputs. The 13-inch screen performs very well. The system responds fast to inputs. You will experience that the screen does not wash out in the sunlight despite being high up on the dashboard.

 

Driving Experience

 

The 2022 Toyota Tundra drops the V8 workhorse that comes default on the previous year's model. It replaces it with the V6 power. Consumers can opt for one of the choices. They can go for a hybrid powertrain with a combined output of more than 400 hp and 550 lb-ft or a turbocharged V6 with nearly 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are matched by an automatic transmission that is a great combination on the street, giving satisfying thrust and swift and smooth shifts. The power is only up by a little from the previous outgoing engine. So the default engine will not get any acceleration awards. But it does not get very stressed at full throttle also.

 

Comfort Factor

 

The company has also made some key changes to the underpinning of the 2022 Toyota Tundra that improves the on-road performance. It does away with the old-school leaf-spring rear suspension usually found on full-size trucks because of their toughness and durability. It replaces it with modern coil springs in the rear. The 2022 Toyota Tundra now joins a few rivals as the only truck in this segment to utilize rear coils. While the modification in ride quality is not very high, it is noticeable. The 2022 Toyota Tundra is a lot more comfier over broken roads than ever before. The ride quality is only a little bouncy of the roughest of streets. You cannot term the 2022 Toyota Tundra the comfiest truck in the segment. But it is much improved over the previous-gen models.

 

Conclusion

 

The 2022 Toyota Tundra makes huge changes to the interior, steering, bed, suspension, frame, and more. These updates make the redesigned vehicle much more competitive alongside modern trucks than its predecessors. It is a much-improved truck than ever before. But it is not enough to propel the 2022 Toyota Tundra to the front of the queue. In many ways, the advancements only make the 2022 Toyota Tundra run with the times in the large truck segment.
