Just bought it! 2022 Toyota Tundra Limited

It's Tim, Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk, and I just picked it up, yes, the brand new 2022 Toyota Tundra. I'm just going to shoot a quick video here with my cell phone, kind of talk to you what I have behind me, how much I paid for it, if I paid any markup, and what the battle plan is for getting home. But let's go ahead and get this camera over here and take a look at this. So this is the 2022 Toyota Tundra. My fingers, my hands are all messed up here, but we'll keep moving this around. All right, there we go. 2022 Toyota Tundra. You can see I've got the new front end with a mustache, I call it. Well, that's because that's my term for it. But probably, I think I'm in a body color that match that. But the front end is growing on me. It really is growing on me. Fred Haas, Toyota, give them some love. One of the top dealers in the country. Just picked it up, the airport, was a pretty seamless process. As well, as seamless as buying a car can be, you know, that kind of deal. All right, so we come around the sides, we can see this is the blueprint color. It is blacked out. I got to check my spec sheet at home. It's kind of interesting. I do like the look, though. See, I just think with this blacked out, blacked out, if I can do black like this, maybe there, it probably could match that, I think it's going to look pretty good. This is a twin turbo V6. There's the limited, you can see the chrome extends up and extends the side. Come around the back, the new composite bed back here that, yeah. And we have the chrome. All right. So, back here, we should have the side, yep. So, I got the elbow thing, right? Drops tailgate. And this is, it's all composite. It's all plastic, folks. Just like the Tacoma, it's all plastic. And so, we have grooves for like two by fours and such. I do have the power, the 400 watts of the bed. I hooks tie down spots there. And I do have the rail system. I can put little things in here, they turn tie downs, the little rail system goes around. So, that's what that looks like back there. And I'm in Houston, naturally picked it up from Houston. That's why it's military lifts here. And a nice day today, 90 degrees in Houston. Like, yeah. Like, you know, it's gonna be wondering where I'm driving home. It's like a snowstorm right now, and it's 90 degrees in Houston. Oh, I know why. In August, it's not so fun down here. All right, let's go around the back side here. Limited. There we are. We have the crew cab set up, right? So, crew cab, five foot bed. I do have the boulder interior. This is like that, it's like a gray. I thought it looked like more of a tan, but it's definitely a gray interior. I do like the way that the stitching looks and the way that the perforations look. It looks pretty cool. Plenty of room. I do have the panoramic moonroof, right? So, good stuff there. I do have some USBs back there, cup holders. And I had them put in the all-weather floor mats. These things are gonna be really nice. So, fit for the vehicle. We do have, this is the armrest placement, that's why I've called it. Hook up there, some gloss black there. All right. So, in the cab, right? So, this is a TRD version, right? So, I have the TRD, you can see those wheels. You can see my really cool brake and gas pedals. Those things are, I like those. Those things are pretty badass. Lights back there. Heat steering wheel, that's a must for me. That's why with limited. Heat steering wheel, auto turn the switch, the truck auto off and on. Take care of that. Auto headlights, which are really good too. I have different set buttons for the seats, which is really important for me and my wife. And again, the armrest. I'm telling you, this is a big thing. This will be, it'll be like this and the roll down rear window. That'll be the two key things people talk about the Tundra. Let me hop in. This may not look so graceful on camera because I got no running boards. I gotta buy some. This is, but I do have the grab handles back. You can tell I have kids. So, let me get my butt in here. Holy cow. So, yeah, I will be installing grab handle or the running boards ASAP. Wow. I never thought I'd have the AC on December. Like ever. And I'm so happy to have the AC on. Hot here. All right, let's move along. I don't have the digital gauges. I have mechanical gauges, which I'm a big fan of. Like mechanical gauges. Um, I did, there it is on the screen. You can see average fuel economy, 21.2. I'm guessing I'll be able to best those, my friends in Boulder and have a better number, but who knows? Well, cause they went to Boulder. I'm going to try to go through Oklahoma city up through Kansas, Nebraska. So I'm going to cut off about a thousand to 2000 feet of elevation. Maybe I'll get a better number. We will find that out. Um, I do have the, the red engine start stop button because of TRD. You got to do the man grant, right? All right. Um, I do have the trailer brake controller there. I have the towing cameras, uh, the, uh, traction control. And then I have electronic locker. Yes. Oops. I didn't mean to big fan of that. Uh, there's up there. I have done something already on this system. I haven't signed in yet. I'm still working on that. I've had a problem with the code. Um, it's not any, it's just technology problem. My phone, this thing, I just, I have no patience cause I want to get North 4, 4 AM flight this morning. I want to get North bound. I'll set the stuff up later, but I did make one big change, which I think is just key in all vehicles under display screen. Look at that. Oh, and it flicked. Well, it's flickering on camera, but that just looks terrible. Oh, so much better. I like, I drive all my vehicles at night. I just like to look better. I did turn on the, the, uh, mirror camera too. So this has got the regular mirror or the camera. Uh, I'm a big fan of that. I've gotten used to it. It takes a while to get used to, but I big, I like that quite a bit. I have the wireless charger I have cause this is that technology package. If I recall, um, I do have different drive modes. I have four wheel drive, which is a big thing for me, but not so big thing here in Houston. I do have these, um, you know, these, these are still, I don't know. I just thought that'd be a little bit better quality. It could be fine. It could be absolutely fine. Just initial feel. I just, I don't know. It seems a little weird to me, but it's kind of nice. Cause I have the, the, the double, so I can move that back reaching or grab stuff, or I can move it up. And then this opens up all the way. USB is back there. Bunch of little storage bins, little storage bin, little storage bin, kind of slot there, a little storage bin there. And then when I carry my change that I never carry anymore, I can put it down in there and the TRD shifter too. So boom, there is a side you'll see TRD pro has like Toyota spelled out there. Different things, do different things, different trims, do different things. This is just a standard kind of Chrome look to it. There's that. So, uh, all right. So we walked around the truck, uh, initial drive impressions. I gave those in a video a while ago. I will say this thing drives really nice. I had a 13 I own for a while. Now that I have this one, this one drives so much better in 13. It's nothing instant 13. It's just this new suspension is a ton better. Um, this was 59, 385 was the MSRP. They went ahead and rolled my taxes in the loan, which was good because, uh, taxes can be expensive. So about 7 grand in taxes. So, um, I think it was about 6,600, 6,700, excuse me, $67,000 out the door. There's your outdoor price. So, uh, I don't pay taxes. It's great. More upside down because I bought it over MSRP taxes built into it. I'll figure that out down the road. When I sell it, I'll just pay the cash, whatever I had to do to get out of it. So that's what I paid for it. I do have a 1,145 mile drive, maybe 1,120 miles. I've already driven a little bit today. Um, so long drive today. I'm hoping to get Oklahoma city, then drive all the way back home tomorrow. So awesome. Good driving impressions for you and some good fuel economy. Again, I'm going to, you know, I know my friends in Boulder thought they picked up one of the first ones and they drove it all the way back. So I'll be curious to see what I do with this truck and whether or not I can get home without having any issues, which I doubt, but also, uh, fuel economy numbers. And I will say that the reason the V8 went away was not about fuel economy primarily, excuse me, primarily, it really was about pollution. If you look at the department energy spec page, they kind of list out what pollutions are from V8. And it's just, it's a lot more than a hybrid, a lot more than an electric vehicle. And I think the V6 pollutes a lot less than V8 does. So it's really a greenhouse gas situation working on for them. That's what I got. So I got 4am flight, 6am in Denver, 11 o'clock in Houston, and it's two o'clock now. So I had an hour to time change difference, but I'm heading back. So that's pretty good. I, you know, I was only dealership for like an hour or so and, uh, got everything loaded. I need to get loaded and I got my bags in the back and now I'll get on the road. So I'll be curious to what I think after getting home and doing some, um, you know, more mile per gallon testing. I do plan on these initial drives for fuel economy are a little bit unfair because I'm driving straight one way. I'm going to be into the wind. I'm going up in elevation. I mean, it's just all the bad factors against me. So when I do a hundred mile drive video, I think it'd be a little bit more accurate, but that's what I got for you. That's what I got in this new truck. That's all the energy I got too. Cause I, I'm a little tired today, early start in the morning. Hey, make sure you check this video over here, website down below, as always, thanks for watching. I'll see you down the road.
