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.

A mixed bag of tricks…

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.

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. Push to a year of fighting dealer to fix issue, dealer fought me up to last day when I returned truck and got my money back. 22 Tundras were built horrible. 23 Tundra however, was built awesome! Not one issue!

2022 Toyota Tundra Platinum

2022 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4dr CrewMax SB w/6.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

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.

Sold at 18,000 miles

2022 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr CrewMax SB w/5.5' Bed (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

I was excited to get my new Tundra. The redesign was really appealing, advertised MPG was quite a bit better than my previous trucks, and I assumed it would hold up to the build-quality and reliability standard that Toyota is known for. Also, the value-retention was appealing. The only things I can say I was right about were the value-retention and the appearance. At 18,000 miles, I am averaging 16.3 MPG. 80% of my miles are flat, highway miles. My windshield chipped, and I was quoted $1,700 to replace it (I could have gone through insurance and paid $500 deductible, but opted to have it repaired instead). Driver seat plastic trim cracked, despite me being particularly careful as I had read this was a common issue. Toyota reluctantly agreed to replace it "once" under warranty, but said it would likely happen again and would not be covered. Wind noise is awful. Dealer "can not replicate". Passengers always ask if one of the windows is open because its so bad. JBL premium sound is mediocre, at best. Bose, Alpine, HK, B&O are all far superior in other truck brands. Turbo lag is really bad. I never know if I am going to get immediate response from the gas pedal or not. Off a stop, I have had 2-3 second lags, then truck jolts forward. On the freeway, feathering the gas pedal seems to get turbos ready to make a pass, though. Start/Stop feature is obnoxious/clunky, and has no way to permanently override. Navigation screen is basically a billboard for advertising to subscribe to their monthly navigation service. It defaults to that every time I drive it. CarPlay connects intermittently, works great when it does, but not at all when it decides not to. Lights come on dash randomly (lane assist error, parking brake error, etc), and supposedly was fixed with a software update. I still get messages. I've had 6 recalls that seem to take all day to fix, and my local Toyota store has no loaners, and no shuttle. So I am utilizing ride share more than I'd like to on a nearly new truck. My tailgate can be opened with the fob, or will just open whenever it decides to do so. I can see the truck from my office window and have seen the tailgate drop itself, while my keys are sitting on the desk in plain sight. Seats are clunky and make popping noises when entering/exiting vehicle. The headrest design is bad, and pushes my head forward in a way that strains my neck. I can not find a comfortable seating position in this truck. Thankfully, it has held value really well. One of the online car-buying sites offered me $5,500 less than MSRP for it and they are picking it up today. Coming from a 2019 Ram Laramie, I can't say there was one thing that was better about the Toyota, besides the value retention. I got better gas mileage in the 5.7 HEMI than I did in this Tundra. My 2016 GMC 5.3L also did slightly better as well. I think Toyota missed the mark on the 2022. Hopefully they have addressed some of these issues in 23 and 24 year models. I won't miss this truck, and am excited to see it get hauled off today.

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. (Update: Getting rid of the Geolandar XC tires and replacing them with some A/T tires helped a bit, but the ride could still be better, but you lose 1-2 MPG with A/T tires.) 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

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

There are so many forums for Toyota tundras where the wireless chargers does not work and Toyota will not do anything to fix the issue. For such an expensive truck you would think this kind of stuff wouldn’t happen and if it did that Toyota would fix it. Since it’s not a safety issue where they can be sued then they won’t fix it

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.
