The completely new generation of Toyota Tundra 2022 model year has been officially presented ; by the way, the previous generation lasted on the assembly line for 14 years.
Technically, the pickup truck is completely new, in which not a single detail remains from the pre-reform version. The changes started with the frame structure, which was seriously strengthened, managing to achieve a noticeable increase in such important indicators as load capacity (+11%) and towed trailer weight (+17.6%).
Next, the suspension was completely replaced, which in expensive versions takes the form of pneumatic with variable ground clearance, and the four-door cab is now placed on hydraulic supports. All this is hidden under a new body, the design of which was named unambiguously and extremely successfully for adherents of brutal pickup trucks - Technical muscle.

Together with the strips of running lights mounted in the radiator grille, three amber light sources are also visible - according to American laws, mandatory elements for cars over 80 inches (2032 mm) wide.

Review
The second generation Toyota Tundra has been in production for 14 years, but even such a long period of time does not diminish the interest in the, albeit frankly outdated, but still solid Japanese pickup truck, on the part of the classic American consumer.
More modern competitors from RAM and Ford are selling better today, but the situation risks changing, because the Japanese are introducing the third generation Tundra to the market - a completely modernized car that was developed by the company's engineering centers located in the States.
The manufacturer decided to abandon two-door modifications, so the new third-generation 2022 Toyota Tundra is basically a two-row one, but with two cab options - the regular Double Cab and the enlarged CrewMax.
The available length range of the luggage compartment is 1.7-2.5 meters, and unlike the steel cabin, the sides and rear side of the cargo platform have aluminum inserts. The front of the “muscular” car is made classically – with an emphatically massive front grille framed by an expressive C-shaped insert. There are also headlights with new graphics, “traced” wheel arches and a monolithic rear bumper built into the body.

Salon
The new interior of the Tundra pickup looks more sleek and clean, the front console is located noticeably lower, but analog instruments still adorn the cheapest modification, as does a modest 8-inch multimedia display.
Of course, for an additional fee, the cockpit of this brutal car is seriously transformed: 12.3” digital instruments appear on the console, a huge 14” screen in the center, and a whole scattering of comfort options becomes available, including ventilation of the front seats, a panoramic roof, heated steering wheel and much more. etc. It is important that already in the initial configuration the new Tundra is equipped with the Safety Sense complex version 2.5, which contains all modern safety systems.
