The new 2022 Toyota Tundra is impressing the critics in a full-size pickup marketplace traditionally dominated by Ford and Chevy. One CNET reviewer called the newest Toyota Tundra “a huge improvement over its predecessor.” This reviewer made note of the way the Tundra’s new rear suspension makes this truck more comfortable to drive. Toyota customers in Stow and Cuyahoga Falls, OH are sure to notice the difference.
New suspension one-ups the competition
Most full-size pickups still use the old leaf-spring rear suspension that one reviewer called “antiquated.” For 2022, the new Toyota Tundra replaces the old approach with a new coil spring suspension that improves the ride dramatically. The CNET reviewer said the new suspension makes the Tundra easier to control which Hartville, OH drivers will appreciate. Ford and Chevy, you’ve been notified: Your suspension is now officially out-of-date.
Toyota stays with a simple powertrain selection
The CNET reviewer observed that Tundra is staying with a simple two-engine menu, making truck buying simpler. At the base is a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that comes in two variations. The standard Tundra SR gives you 348 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. Above the base, horsepower ramps up to 389 and torque increases to 479 lb-ft. The reviewer lauded the new 10-speed automatic, calling it a massive improvement over the six-speed.
Show-stopper: The iForce Max engine
The CNET reviewer calls Toyota’s iForce Max powertrain “the star of the show.” It’s a 3.5-liter V6 coupled with electric assist. This Toyota hybrid tops out with 437 horsepower and a hefty 538 lb-ft of torque which the reviewer said was “instant,” adding that “this truck absolutely rips when you floor it.” We invite Portage County, OH buyers to check out the New Toyota Tundra and arrange a test drive soon at Toyota of Kent in Kent, OH.
