Buyers on the Toyota Tundra waiting list in 2022 may have to wait a while before they can get the truck.
Over the years, Toyota has thrived on the qualities of tenacity and bravery. For every release, a successful car company will send a message that not only wins new customers, but also makes competitors have enough concerns. Although the Toyota Tundra may have existed for more than two decades, the 2022 model is the next level of stunner.
Unlike other high-end pickup manufacturers such as Ford, Ram or General Motors, Toyota Tundra has a short history, but its two decades of existence is a symbol of courage. Although it is new compared to the Ford F series launched in 1948, Tundra has achieved an impressive sales record. In 2020, Americans purchased 109,203 sturdy and durable tundras.
If you don’t know yet, trucks are a popular choice for Americans. Toyota focuses on the US market because the company sees it as its truck's first choice. After two decades of tundra, Toyota continues to provide its loyal customers with the highest quality trucks.

Car enthusiasts like you have been waiting for the long-awaited 2022 Tundra release. Although Toyota announced a December 2021 release date, we can confirm that you will have to wait longer before driving this incredible truck.
The 2022 Tundra is not only a redesigned version of the first compact T100 model, but it is also equipped with a hybrid engine. This is part of Toyota's commitment to provide alternatives to potential buyers seeking environmentally friendly vehicles. Now, what is behind the new long waiting list? Let us find out.
The global chip shortage-semiconductor chips to be precise-will delay the delivery of the new Tundra. According to Longo Toyota, a car dealer with the title of Toyota's largest dealership, because only 61 Tundra will arrive in Los Angeles within three months. Tundra enthusiasts should expect a waiting list ranging from four months to a year and a half.
We recommend that you enter immediately and book an available unit, otherwise it will take a long time for you to find the tundra. If you want to buy TRD Pro interior, please know that you will wait longer. It is the most difficult variant to protect, with an expected waiting period of up to 9 months.

It is expected that the scarcity of semiconductor chips will weaken by 2023. Although this is still a hunch, we believe that many potential buyers who have not obtained Tundra now may get the 2023 version. Another factor contributing to this long waiting list is Toyota's strict policy of prohibiting factory orders. This means that you and your dealer need to have a serious discussion before you can enter the waiting list.
At the same time, other companies such as General Motors and Ford allow factory orders, a benefit that may attract impatient future Tundra buyers. If you are a hardcore Tundra fan, why not buy the 2021 model? This is also a great version. Although it is different from the 2022 model, it is Tundra. However, you should act quickly, as Tundra units are running out in 2021 due to large purchases.
2022 Tundra is equipped with a 14-inch touch screen and Apple CarPlay. This is a welcome improvement because competitors such as the Ford F-150 and R 1500 provide 12.0-inch infotainment screens. This YouTube video shows the red stripes on the JBL sound system and steering wheel-this feature is usually attributed to the TRD Pro variant.
We can confirm that the new Tundra will provide wireless charging, and the TRD Pro interior will have interesting features such as off-road driving mode, crawl control and downhill control. Among these functions, crawl control is used as an off-road cruise control system. Tundra will also be equipped with a scenic sunroof and a rear window that can be slid according to instructions.
2022 Tundra has a new twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine. Although decorations such as Limited, 1794 and Platinum can be equipped with a 3.4-liter V-6 engine or iForce MAX power system (for hybrid models), TRD decorations are only equipped with standard engines.
The TRD Pro trim has a huge grille with three LED light bars and three amber marker lights, located above the Toyota text. For tires, the TRD Pro interior will be equipped with 285/65 Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires.
The current value of the basic decorative SR is US$37,645, while the price of the SR5 is approximately US$42,450. If you want a higher decoration, what about the limited edition and platinum editions priced at $48,545 and $58,685, respectively? The most expensive decoration in 1794 was $59,385.
Please note that these are only starting prices. Factors such as additional features and exchange rates will determine the final fee you pay.
