Test drive: The 2022 Toyota Tundra is the powerful Prius of pickups
Fox News
The 2022 Toyota Tundra is the first all-new version of the full-size pickup since 2007 and it is equipped with a host of modern upgrades.
Toyota was well aware of all of that and took six years to develop it, which is twice as long as some programs. Tundra executive chief engineer Mike Sewers told me he's confident that the extra effort means customers shouldn’t be concerned about buying a first year model, because the bugs have already been worked out.
That might be of particular concern to some, because the Tundra takes a few major steps forward from the outgoing truck. Chief among them are the switch from a leaf-spring to coil-spring rear suspension for improved refinement and the introductions of the first turbocharged V6 engine and first hybrid powertrain offered on a Toyota truck. If you’ve been waiting for a full-size Prius pickup, this is as close as you’ll ever get.
