Owned 4 months with 4,200 miles. Overall I'm very satisfied and getting compliments on the truck however there are a few items Toyota needs to address. *Window and door gaskets. *Black body tape peeling on door pillar. *Clear rocker panel tape not sealed looks like air bubbles. * Hard bed cover rubber is oxidizing. *Bumper end pieces not fitting evenly. *Wind screen on sunroof is pulling away from frame. * Hopefully gas mpg will improve in time. Highest 19.8 average 17.7.

It seemed like this truck was a great purchase. That only lasted two days. Within the third say a sensor malfunction light came on. Didn't take much to fix. Within a few weeks the truck started to make a weird sound when starting. It sounds like a beat up engine! Like its on its last miles. Took it to dealer. They said its normal. IT DOES NOT SOUND NORMAL! I have only put 9,00 miles on the engine. Malfunction on the power steering pressure. Today, there was some good rain. As soon as I get into truck I notice all the water that leaked into the cabin from the rear bed light, as well as corner top of rear cabin. Every time I take my truck to the dealer, they act like there is nothing wrong on my truck. The service is horrible as well as the build of the truck.

2022 Toyota Tundra Platinum

I recently switched from and older 7.3L F-250 to the 22 tundra platinum edition and am very pleased with the truck although I did have some concerns. Obviously I was concerned with the power but let me tell you, this truck moves and has plenty of power to tow boat/trailer while maintaining the comfort and drivability of the vehicle. My biggest issue with the tundra is the start/stop functionality and the PCA (pre collision assist system) - Start/stop: I understand the concept of this feature however no matter what technology is introduced having your vehicle turn off when approaching a light after a long drive cannot be good on the engine, starter or the turbo. I wish there was a way to disable this permanently. Each time you turn your vehicle off, when you start it again, the start/stop system defaults to on so I have to turn it off every time I get in my vehicle. Not the biggest issues but something that does bother me -PCA: I think this is the biggest bug in the Tundra and is going to hurt someone. I've already informed the dealer and have submitted feedback to the manufacturer. The PCA system will sense if the truck may be getting to close to the vehicle in front of you, or if you or pulling into a parking spot with a bush in front, you sometimes have to pull forward a bit so you aren't sticking out. Well this system doesn't differentiate between a bush vs a wall and will systematically trigger the brakes locking them up not allowing you to pull forward. This is my biggest pain point. One day I was driving and was about 100-150 yards away from a red light and was coasting to the stoplight around 30MPH. The light turned green and knew by the time I got close to the car in front of me, they would be moving forward so braking wasn't needed. Well, my truck had other plans. All of a sudden, the truck sounded these very loud beeping alarms, "BRAKE" in red flashed on my dash, and the truck overrode my control and locked the brakes throwing me forward bringing me to a complete stop in the middle of the road at a green light. Both my dogs in the back seat were also thrown forward and my 12 year dog injured his back leg and hasn't been able to go on a walk since. In addition, the car behind me almost slammed into me because my truck auto enabled the brakes in the middle of the road at a green light. It honestly scared the hell out of me as I've never had anything like that happen. It's now happened 3 different times now and is incredibly concerning. This seems like a critical recall to me. I now disable this system before I leave my driveway. I know my comments above are focused on the negatives of what I don't like. However those are my only two issues. Other than that, I love everything about this truck. Drives and handles like a dream. I've had the truck now for 6 months and am averaging 17-18 mpg. I'm light on the gas pedal and once you get to moving speed, maintaining that speed definitely helps with MPG.

A mixed bag of tricks…

2022 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4dr CrewMax 4WD SB w/5.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 10A)
15 of 15 people found this review helpful

I came from a 2020 SR5 crew max 4x4 trail edition. Compared to that truck, the tech is nice (big screen on the responsive infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay). The interior is a nice upgrade from the previous generation truck with regards to comfort and convenience features. The JBL audio system is rather good. However, the quality of the interior controls leaves a bit to be desired. The control panel for the driver side power seat has cracked twice and has needed to be replaced twice. The hybrid system is nice as it fills torque in before the turbos spool up. However, 48 hp from the electric motor is rather lackluster for a 3 ton truck. It doesn’t take much of a shove on the throttle to get the gas motor to fire. The logic of hybrid controller is rather illogical. It doesn’t always fire the electric motor when you’d expect it (eg from a standstill with a full charge). Although the MPG is about 3-5 better than the old truck, it still does not hit the EPA combined rating. I will see it on individual trips but averaged over a longer distance, it seems to be about 2 mpg below the combined rating of 20. Better than the previous truck but still short of the window sticker. The ride (although firm) and handling are better compared to the previous truck. As for long term reliability and durability, it is still to be determined. My vehicle has a leaking CV boot (10k miles). It mostly has been driven on the highway. Toyota has no ETA on the replacement part which is concerning. As an aside, I needed a replacement center cap for one of the wheels. I was told that there was no ETA for that part either.

Definitely a big change

Well, I traded in a 2021 Sierra 1500 Duramax for the 2022 Tundra Platinum. I will say, the Interior is a big step in the right direction. Truck overall has a lot of awesome features and upgrades. You definitely do not feel like you’re in a V6, it has amazing power and rides very smooth. Sometimes I honestly forget I am even driving a truck. ( Not sure I like that feeling.) I miss the truck like feeling I had with the Sierra, i’m crazy I know. The Infotainment system has some areas that need to improve, example before you put it into drive you need to select your profile in order to use things like navigation. If you choose to turn off Apple/Android CarPlay in constantly pops up a window that says connection failed. Extremely annoying. Remote start is setup a little goofy. When you remote start and walk up to your truck and unlock it, it turns the truck off and you need to restart it again. Toyota says this is a security feature. GMC had that figured out pretty easy, you need the fob in order to drive away. I miss the trifold tailgate. I do love the panoramic moonroof, 14 inch screen is beautiful and the ambient lighting is really cool. Overall for this being my first ever Toyota, its very nice and a well built truck. Consul safe is a win and the ventilated rear seats and back window sunshades are awesome, especially living in AZ. I will be patient and try to adjust to some of the difference from my previous truck. Overall you get a ton of luxury and comfort for the price you pay with the Platinum and I think that’s a big plus.

Pros: The engine power is phenomenal and the infotainment system is great, the stereo sounds incredible. A few glitches here and there, sometimes the iPhone doesn't connect and you have to turn the truck off and on again to connect it. The Army Green looks amazing when the sun hits it. Seats are great. Back seat storage is great. Price - compared to the overpriced alternatives, it was a good deal for what you get. Cons: The ride quality on the TRD Sport is terrible...TERRIBLE. Every little tiny bump - you don't just feel it once, you feel it 2-3 more times and it hits hard. They need to fix the suspension, it's bad - IMO it should be recalled and better shocks installed - it's back hurting bad. It bounces all around when you hit little bumps, even going slow. My 2004 Nissan Titan rode better. Gas mileage is pretty bad. I'm getting average around 15-16 mpg with combo of rural and highway driving, in Eco mode...I thought going with a smaller engine with turbos would increase gas mileage, but it doesn't seem that great. Turning radius is horrific.

Knocking Noise and damage on the tailgate

2022 Toyota Tundra SR 4dr Double Cab LB (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
50 of 59 people found this review helpful

Bought a New Truck Toyota Tundra 2022 on July 2022 From Toyota Canada Montreal Gabriel DealerI, found few days later a damage, this damage was made by the dealer or during delivery process.I Sent the Photos to Toyota Canada. I raised a complaint to the Toyota compliance team but it was in vain. After i filled out the survey negatively.They called me and said that they will repair the damage, and until now They didn't proceed with the repairs and they don't answer anymore when i try to reach them. I am still waiting for them to respect the Warranty. Second Issue: I hear a Knocking noise when driving over bumps, i showed it to 2 Toyota Dealers in my area, they say it is normal. and when reading reviews on the net, some owners in Canada and USA get it fixed at the Dealer in their Areas. I chose Toyota for best customer service but that did not happen. For a brand new Truck, i was a nightmare as experience. Toyota... Shame on you

Catastrophic failure at 2000 miles

I have a 2022 1794 hybrid with 2000 miles and 2 mos old. Had a catastrophic failure while driving, engine steering and brakes failed. Luckily I lived, Toyota won't buy the car back they think its my problem nor will the dealer do anything they blame it on toyota.Do not buy this vehicle it's literally risking you and your family's life. Sad I bought Toyota for perceived quality and service, what a joke.

2022 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr CrewMax 4WD SB w/5.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
42 of 50 people found this review helpful

Picked up this dealer ordered Limited with premium options added with virtually no mark up in California for just about 63,000 after the person who ordered it apparently couldn't qualify for financing. It was built in mid February 2022 so earlier production run wastegate issues from the supplier we're not a problem. Included 20 inch wheels with dealer added BF Goodrich offroad tires, four-wheel drive, panoramic sunroof, multitude of trailer controls, adjustable rear air suspension, adjustable rear loading height, heated and cooled 8 way powered front seats in softex which is actually better than leather because it won't fade as bad and it won't absorb UV rays and retain heat the same way as leather. The 14in infotainment screen has got to be seen to believed. Got the upgraded JBL sound system which makes the lower bitrate satellite signal sound amazing. There are certainly improvements that could be made and I have already received one software update which smoothed out a few glitches. Some minor things are a bit frustrating but nothing you can't get used to easily.. For example when you turn off the engine the radio turns off. They should allow the radio to stay on for at least a few minutes if you don't manually shut it down. The screen power-up time is actually not as slow as it seems but I think it could be quicker and when you add the fact that sometimes you just want to sit in the truck and listen to the radio with the engine off it can be a little annoying to restart it, but it's only a few seconds. I don't know why it isn't automatically recognizing the key fob every time and making me manually pick my profile but I think software updates will resolve that. You have two choices for automatic seat adjustment. There are buttons on the driver side door and also you can program them in your profile. The remote start from the app is hit-or-miss but that could have to do more with the internet connection. I found it didn't work from my den but when I went outside it worked and then when I returned it back to my den it worked. As for the key fob remote start it works fine you just have to press lock three times in quick succession holding on the 3rd press for about seven or eight seconds. The fact that the truck then turns off again when you unlock the door is a bit annoying the Toyota says it is a safety issue. Either way with remote start cooling down the cab the few seconds it takes you to get back in and restart the vehicle shouldn't result in any loss of the cool environment on hot days. Personally I don't like Android auto. Even though having it wireless is unique, the interface that Android has designed is terrible . I would like to see Android carplay let you mirror your phone the way it shows on your phone and allows you to use all of the apps on your phone. By the way, if you want to use your Google Assistant instead of using Android Auto you just need to choose the audio source as your phone then you can just use the Google Assistant if you don't like the Toyota assistant. You do not need to pay for the AT&T subscription to continue to use the web-based Toyota assistant for navigation and basic internet questions although the network sometimes doesn't work because they are getting the bugs out. I'm not sure if it is a satellite-based system but it does work without paying for the AT&T subscription. Once again I'm sure software updates will resolve this over the short run. The only real reason you need to pay for the AT&T subscription is if you are using Amazon music or Apple music through the Toyota assistant and if you want a hotspot. I have found there's no reason to pay for that because if I want Amazon music I will just use the app on my phone and also my phone can be a hotspot. I might change my mind on this later but for now I don't see it as a necessary subscription expense. The navigation screen works great and for me I manually set screen to night mode because I find the white screen a bit annoying great it would be nice if they offered different colors of backgrounds for the daytime instead of a glaring white. One of the coolest things I like about these types of Toyota's is the completely lowering rear window makes it almost like driving a convertible with all the windows and the panoramic sunroof open. If you're camping in your truck bed with a bed tent, access to the cab is that much easier... besides the dogs love being able to bark at people behind me. This truck is quick. Let me tell you putting it in sport mode will blow your mind. Of course the gas mileage is nowhere near what you would hope a V6 would be but with the horsepower and towing capabilities I can't say it really matters that much to me, but if you get up to speed right away and take it easy afterward you probably can get 14 in the city and up to 21 in the highway on eco mode. I prefer to get up to speed in normal or sport mode and then take it easy on the throttle. When I'm at speed on a straightaway or freeway I keep it in eco mode so that it stays in the higher gears and saves gas because it already has momentum. Combined city and highway has been around 16 up to 17. Nowhere near as good as advertised but then who lives on a straightaway? I manually added some OEM running boards. There are YouTube tutorials on how to install them. Very easy. I'm going to ad a tonneau cover and it looks like the OEM trifold for my short bed is the best route for security and looks. I will be adding the TRD skid plate in the front and perhaps the metal blackout letter inserts for the Tundra imprint in the back of the truck. Considering that a Ford Raptor is over a hundred thousand dollars, and although it does have many tremendous qualities including a fancier interior and a bit more horsepower, I still think the value for what you get in this Tundra is much much greater and delivering a very similar experience. At one point I was looking at getting a Ford Tremor but the dealer markups were crazy. If I decide to go off-roading a lot more than planned I can always upgrade my suspension and lift the vehicle more although I don't see it as being necessary since it already has a very aggressive stance. Highly recommend this truck. Remember all the whining and complaining you're seeing online is from people who are expecting miracles from Toyota in this redesign. Sure there are some misses, but as the years go by you will find that the reliability and the looks of this truck will stand the test of time versus its competitors. Update Nov 22': No real changes from my original review except to say I wish the factory would include catalytic converter theft protection. I'm going to add a cage manually. The best truck in the market, hands down. Update, November 2023, 23,000 miles after 21 months: Still excellent! Powerful, fun, capable. Gets great looks. Whenever I find myself in front of a Ford Raptor or high-end Chevy Truck, I raise and lower my rear window just so they can see it. By the way, dealer wanted $80 for cabin air filter replacement, get your own .. about $20 oem, takes literally 60 seconds after opening glovebox. I suggest, during the first few years. you pay the extra $40 for oil changes at the dealer as they do a great insurrection. Finally, when it comes time to replace your tires, if not already done. Get the Bridgestone All Terrain A/T K02s. I got mine on delivery. Should last 50k

53 of 65 people found this review helpful

2022 Truck looks and drives great. Does not feel like a V6. I try to drive conservatively and I’m struggling to get 15-16 miles per gallon. Window sticker says 17 city and 22 highway. Currently at 1800 miles on my Platinum and haven’t seen 17mpg once which is disappointing. Also, there’s an SRS airbag malfunction warning that randomly comes on. I’ve been unable to make it to the dealer when it happens but plan to take it in soon. I love the truck but for a platinum the back doors should unlock by hand like the front. Very frustrating considering this should be standard for a plat. Our 2018 land cruiser has it so it’s super noticeable. Update. Truck was in shop a combined 32 days and Toyota could not fix warning light. Said it’s under investigation. Update. Toyota said remedy not available for the malfunction repair. Dealer wouldn’t help at all.
