The Capstone trim may be pricy, but the other options are much more affordable.
Production of the 2022 Toyota Tundra began towards the end of last year, but before we mere mortals could get our hands on one, Toyota showed us just how cool the all-new truck can be when you throw the entire TRD catalog at it. We think it's a really handsome machine, and there's lots more to love, but thus far, pricing for the i-Force Max (hybrid) truck hasn't yet been disclosed. Just as crucially, what is it going to cost to feed its fuel tank?
Well, Toyota has now revealed that information, and we can confirm that its estimates put the 4×2 i-Force Max at 20/24/22 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. As for the 4×4 models, 18/23/20 mpg are the standard estimates while the hybrid powertrain increases these to 19/22/21 mpg.
These economy figures have not yet been verified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), so we may yet see a change. One thing that Toyota has full control over, however, is its pricing, and the new Tundra is available in a variety of flavors.
For the hybrid powertrain, the cheapest model is the Tundra 4×2 Limited CrewMax with a 5.5-foot bed. This model has a base MSRP of $52,300, followed closely by the Limited CrewMax with a 6.5-foot bed at $52,630. The 4×4 version of this truck with the short bed costs $55,300. With the longer bed, the price rises slightly to $55,630. Moving up the range, the 4×2 Platinum CrewMax costs $60,390 with the short bed and $60,720 with the long one. 4×4 Platinum models cost $63,390 and $63,720, respectively
Next is the 1794 Edition, with the cheapest, shortest, 4×2 version asking for$61,090. Add the long bed and you'll pay $61,420. In 4×4 spec, these start at $64,090 and $64,420, respectively. As you likely already know, the TRD Pro is only available with 4×4. It comes in at $66,805.
The luxurious Capstone trim is also only available with 4×4 and a short bed, arriving with a $73,530 base price. Toyota has also announced this model's towing capacity of 10,340 pounds and its maximum payload capacity of 1,485 lbs. Of course, there are some options to be had too.
The Advanced Package adds load-leveling rear air suspension ($650 on its own for qualifying models) and adaptive variable suspension. A 10-inch color head-up display gets thrown in too for a total of $1,645.
Alternatively, power running boards and a power bed step will add $1,350. A TRD Off-Road Package is offered on the Limited trim too, with this setting buyers back $3,085 and adding a load of upgrades including a locking rear differential, undercover skid plates, off-road suspension, mudguards, and special wheels. The 1794 trim also has access to this package, but since a number of upgrades are made redundant here, it only costs $2,140.
Nothing is cheap here, but the 437-horsepower i-Force Max hybrid powertrain certainly seems like a capable setup. If you still aren't convinced, keep in mind that this truck is expected to maintain better resale than any of its rivals, including Americans.
