Toyota revealed the first official image of the new 2022 Toyota Tundra back in June. Now, we’re taking another look at the full-size Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra rival with the following fresh photos.
These latest 2022 Toyota Tundra images give us a look at both the revised exterior styling, as well as the revised interior. The 2022 model year introduces a brand-new generation for the pickup, with a raft of updates and changes over the preceding model headed down the pipeline. The current-generation was introduced for the 2007 model year.
Outside, the 2022 Toyota Tundra gets a brand-new fascia characterized by horizontal headlights and a large central grille section, the latter of which stretches down into the bumper, and the former of which incorporates Y-shaped lighting signatures. The rear was also restyled with more prominent C-shaped taillights, a new bumper, and a more chiseled rear fender line.
Moving inside, we find the the 2022 Toyota Tundra cabin now includes a very large central infotainment screen, which is mounted high and appears to jut out from the rest of the dash. The screen is flanked by new, squared-off air vents, while below the screen, we find a panel of hard buttons. The gear handle is located in the central tunnel.
We got a preview of the upcoming 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro in June, giving us a look at the model’s off-road-spec trim level, which includes unique styling and features.
As for the specs under the skin, the 2022 Toyota Tundra is expected to come equipped with a new twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing more than 400 horsepower, while it’s possible the new Tundra could be offered with a new hybrid powerplant, as well as even an all-electric variant. In back, the latest Tundra will feature a new redesigned suspension.
So far, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra have sold more units than the Toyota Tundra through the first half of the 2021 calendar year, with the Silverado posting 291,322 units sold, and the Sierra posting 138,412 units sold, as compared to 43,865 units sold for the Tundra.

It’s beautiful
I’m really trying to like it…..but man is it hard to with that front and back end.
Reminds me of the Silverado hd with that ugly front
looks like toy yoda took some styling ques from the gmc sierra ! the gmc is a better looking truck and can be had with a Duramax diesel !
Discombobulated, from front to back.
The interior alone is a turn-off for me. Disjointed, odd, eleventy-two nooks and crannies on that dash to attract and trap dust and grime.
It is for storage? You ask for storage they giv eyou storage then you complain about the holes they filll the holes and you complain.
Storage can be done in a neater fashion. Other makes have done it, and yet other makes are worse.
The interior did it for me as well. Since I use my truck for work I need a lot of plastic inside and vinyl seats so it’s easier to clean each day. I’m a brick mason so my truck gets dirty fast.
It will not be in my radar. What the hell – a twin turbo six? That won’t be a powertrain to last a lifetime. They couldn’t do something with a V8 and 10 speed? I’ll be amazed if the new powertrain beats everyone else let alone is competitive.
The cabin looks tiny as if it was meant for a Tacoma.
Have you seen the center console? It is wider than 4 forearms.
They probably had to narrow the seats a bit to get it to fit.
Looks like the first pic is an extra cab and the last pic has the Crew max parked next to it
Exactly. The first picture is an extended cab, so the rest doors are small, but regular opening not unlike the gm or ram quad cab. The second picture shows the truck in the back as the crew max crew cab. Looks to be correctly sized to me.
I was waiting for the new Tundra but I was forced to trade in my old truck last year, now I’m glad I did.
People are throwing shade because it’s Toyota and they haven’t had a real update in forever…but lets just ignore the all new 2019 Silverado and what a crap show it is. So far Ford, Ram and Toyota has nailed their updates, only GM failed epically. Let’s hope the 2022.5 fixes all the wrongs and it’s once again competitive or dare I say class leading in any meaningful way.
Care to elaborate? What crap show? They up’d the towing and hauling numbers, added new engines, improved transmissions, chassis, bed access and utility. Sales are up, ATP’s are up, just some people crying because it doesn’t have a luxury car interior in it, so I don’t see the crap show. They had a small batch of failures from a manufacturer with valve springs that has been addressed, and other than the occasional recall (all manufacturers are going through that) they are far more than just competitive. The AT4 and TB are selling like hot cakes and with the revised suspension tuning have been getting more praise on the rise even with leaf springs.
I’m nibbling around the edges of the idea of returning to a pickup next time I buy. After a whale of a lot of research, and my own “parking lot polling” consisting of asking recent model owners what they think of their various trucks, I have narrowed it down to a Chevy/GMC, or a Ram.
Loyal Ford owners warn me off because even when the truck is good, the dealer experience in my area (NE TN ) is terrible. The only good Ford agency in the area closed up, leaving dealers who will either not talk to me, or who think I am some first-time buyer in fantasyland that is just waiting to be [intercoursed] on price. Note: this was before the Covid and chip fiascos.
The Toyota and Nissan owners are generally happy except for hideously bad fuel economy.
Commonsense-the “sideburn” air dams are a disaster. Yes-ATPs are up as a direct result of limited availability. I have a 2018 Crew Cab LTZ. (MSRP was $54,000.00) The power train clunks-the transmission has “Shift flares”-all common problems btw if you spend any time on GM truck boards.
The Tundra is definitely on my radar. I expect Toyota’s turbo V6 to be much better built than Ford’s families of turbo motors.
The Tundra six comes from the Lexus LS500 that has been in productions for many years. I am waiting for the hybrid version on the TRD Pro or the Platinum. My 2015 Platinum has 93k on it. Replaced my tires, BFG Ko2’s and brake pads. The mileage is 12-13 city so I am hoping for double those numbers. Will miss my duel exhaust 🙂
I have a 2011 tundra I bought new. It still has the original battery. It has never been back to a shop ever. Bet you can’t say that about Ford or GM. Toyota builds superior vehicles end of story
Not possible to have a car batter last 10 years. Fibber.
The record I have heard is 7.5 on a Honda Civic a secretary at my office had.
The battery in my old 1988 Toyota xtra cab 4×4 lasted 12 years.
Kind of looks like a GMC copied badly by the Chinese.
Not throwing shade because it is a Toyota. Just calling it for what it looks like.
The Japanese have really never understood the truck market and just never given it what it wants.
Also the quality just was never there on the full size trucks.
really? what about the tacoma? or are you only talking about full size trucks?
I fully grant this was 17 years ago, but. I always took great pleasure picking up one of my workmates at the Toyota dealer on my way to work in the morning. Brakes every 15K, transmission issues, and other gremlins. All but the brakes were covered on an extended warranty. Meantime, my crummy rotten no-good junk-pile Silverado got him to work, and back to the dealer with ease.
In 128K, I bought one set of front brakes, 3 sets of tires, and the AC was having issues until a defective low-pressure switch was changed out. Real junk, huh?
I so agree, this truck has a lot of upgrades because the Japanese think bigger is better for the Americans (they are so wrong in my opinion). The Tundra is more of an over-priced oddity. Been waiting for the new Tundra but I think I’m buying a Silverado.
It would look better if it was a regular cab not a girly man crew cab/purse cab, soccer dad cab.
This doesn’t even look like it’s from the same family of trucks compared to TRD Pro image released. I’m not a customer for the TRD, more an SR5 guy, and these photos are a little of a let down. I agree with the commenter the described it as a bad copy of the GMC. I might do better to go find a 20 or 21.
Unbelievable. Looks like it swallowed a refrigerator. Love my 2012
I want to say I’m shocked by the horrendous look of this truck but I’m not. There’s a reason why they put trd on the rear quarter, you don’t even need the u.
We can criticize how ugly this truck looks, but one thing is certain, you’re going to see potential buyers not being bothered by it’s looks too much because there will be a lot of them on the streets soon…well, at least until this chip shortage B.S. gets resolved.
Or an “A”.
Like mentioned this clearly gives off GMC vibes, for me it’s the side profile, particularly the 14-18 1500. Close similarities are the black wheel well moldings, squared off wheel wells, the arch indent over the wheel wells, the door handles and window line. Another observation is the front and rear bumpers are integrated similar to what you would find on a car, not sure how well that’s going to hold up in a fender bender. I can handle the side profile but the front and rear are a bit of a mess. It could also be noted that the grille has a similar shape to the 15-17 F-150.
No if it gave gmc vibes it would be plastic.
It gives you gmc vibes? Bro are you high or something?
Looks amazing, WTG Toyota!!
Looks like Toyota tried to copy something from every competitor and finished it off with that strange face. Toyota loyalist will love it, they better because it won’t change for at least a decade.
Nissan did the same with their latest Titan. Looks quite Ford.
That thing is hideous!
The previous Tundra’s had the full rear window that would lower which was awesome. I see the dummy designers had to copy what Ford and GM did with the little tiny pass thru window. How stupid is that.
That’s how its always been on the double cab smart guy 🤦
Every time I see a new updated full size truck, I pat myself on the back
for buying my 2018 Silverado LT. Hoping to keep this truck forever 🙂
And, each time I see one, I want my 2001 Silverado back.
Chevy’s ’22 Silverado full reveal in two days.
bro. this is awful
Very good looking truck. My favorite is the trd pro.
That is an ugly truck. Period.
Please GM, don’t copy this design language.
Too late.
As usual, they are trying their best to copy Chevy/GMC to capture sales. In the past, they even hired a few Chevy Marketing guys to assist in trying to get it right for the North American market. They are getting close with each rendition.
2014+ body style 5.7 just went up in value 🤦
Yes and you will lose money in fueling up that gas guzzler.
Wow. I hope that’s a joke. I sold my current one thinking of getting the new one. This is the ugliest pickup ever designed by a long shot. It is literally so hideous it gives me shivers.
Here’s what’s sad: The lastest generation Nissan Titan was the ugliest truck alive, until the latest GMC Sierra came out (yuk). Now the Tundra looks like the Tacoma designers won big at the company picnic and put their crappy spin on the Tundra (so sad). The 5.7 is gone?? WTF?? Just do a Toyota version of Cylinder Deactivation!! (not a failed GM AFM!) I guess it’s just cheaper to make a V6 than a V8. But the mileage on a V6 turbo goes from 23mpg to 9mpg when you put a 5K trailer behind it (my F150 did). Back to the Titan – the only all steel body truck that does not turn off any of its 8 cylinders, does not shut off the engine at red lights, and my freakin’ 2WD 2017 Titan got 19mpg all the time! I’m working in Bahrain now, where GM and Ford put their 6.2L V8s in RCSB trucks! Yes! They SCREAM!!
The turbo V6 will do better in the EPA mileage tests.
Bahrain has no nannies dictating mileage minimums and they don’t have treadmill tests.
Looks are not the greatest but I am sure this truck will last 4 or 5 generations of any of its competitors.
What?
Just a Toyota cheerleader; every make has them.
Funny country man. Stay in your 20th century and pollute the enviroment.
Toyota would keep the 5.7 change the gear ratio to 355 instead of 430 add 10 speed trans x connect the exhaust just behind the convertors fuel mileage solved not v6 turbo fan Ford advertise 24 mile per imperial gal 2021 model year that’s if your behaving
Looks like a f***ed over gmc in the front. with Ford sides,titan tailgate and Ford motor.
Oh so a reliable truck.
Definitely a photoshop job here. Headlights look fake, the hood is unnaturally stretched and would they really mold the gas cap into the crease of the bed? Nope.. Fake.
I have a 2017 GMC Sierra I have had nothing but problems with it. I’m looking forward to the new Tundra
I am not a fan of the body style change, and not impressed at all with the change from V8 to twin turbo V 6
And made in the USA by a company that doesn’t owe the taxpayers 15 billion for being bailed out. NO, GM DID NOT PAY THE GOVERNMENT BACK. Far superior to the big 3 and not made in Mexico. I quiet buying GM junk back in 2000 when my Sierra was in the shop 8 times in a year and my wife’s Yukon XL was in the shop over 12 times. Our Toyotas have never had to have a single repair. FAR SUPERIOR QUALITY!
Actually like it more than the 1st TRD Pro pic that was released. Looks nice IMO. I will likely buy. Have to see all the specs to be 100%, but so far I’m sold!
Bigger truck yet smaller interior and bed.no v8 or tailgate step.either. Will not be trading my 2018 tundra for that.love my lexus though. Looking at other brands now.
