Toyota released a full shot of its all-new 2022 Tundra which is getting mixed results among enthusiasts.
That image, which is getting a lot of attention because of the truck's redesigned front-end, is part of a slow-paced reveal that kicked off in May and includes an interior shot released Tuesday (posted below).
But it's the obvious changes on the front-end--namely a large grille--that's getting a lot of attention. The ‘Toyota’ nameplate is higher on the 2022 TRD Pro than the 2021 model and the faux hood scoop found on preceding Tundras is gone which may explain the larger grille (see 2021 TRD Pro photo below). Going from faux air to big air may reel in more of the form and function crowd some of whom have been buying kits to open those scoops up to outside air.
The 2022 model also appears to have air intakes below the headlights which the outgoing model doesn’t have. Could that all be a sign of an air-hungry, supercharged engine? Wait and see...wait and see.
Additional lights, including a large light bar in the middle the grille, suggest that the fourth gen Tundra will win over critics that have complained about lackluster lighting in the past.
“Speaking of lights. No more Halogen! Thank god! Nice detail with the bolts etc. inside the housings,” posts a forum user on Tundratalk.net.
Additional camera presence in the grille suggests more high-tech safety features and helpful camera angles. Marker lights hint that this is a wide 1/2-ton much like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX.
