2022 Tundra TRD Pro
It is no challenge on or off the road that the 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro can handle. With its solid exterior features, it’s no wonder why this truck sticks out. Another critical component of why this truck sticks out is because of its exterior shade of Solar Octane paint. With the mix of this color and all its aggressive features, plus matte-black 18-inch alloy wheels, there is no way that this truck doesn’t catch onlookers’ eyes right off the bat.
The interior has a rugged-looking dashboard, and the controls are pretty bulky. The TRD Pro is the most expensive trim and has an extra feature of leather spread throughout the vehicle, but for the most part, the TRD Pro inside is very similar to the other Tundras. The starting price for the TRD Pro is $67,000 (plus destination fee).
With such a large truck, it should be no surprise that it has a huge cabin. The front doors have two rows of pockets. Along with the middle armrest opening up, there is also a sliding tray, which can hold more storage. The Tundra TRD Pro is only offered with Toyota’s powertrain of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 and a single electric motor between the engine and its 10-speed automatic transmission. This truck has 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. There is an electric-only operation, but usually, any throttle applications from a stop will generate the gas engine to start quickly.
The truck’s interior has a 14-inch touchscreen that is much easier to use with its updated features. An excellent tech feature is that there is a stand for upright wireless device charging. There is wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a standard 12-speaker JBL sound system, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Every Tundra model has automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, and traffic-sign recognition.
This four-wheel-drive truck gets 18 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. The Tundra TRD Pro can tow up to 11,175 pounds and has a 1,600-pound payload. The single hybrid 4×4 CrewMax arrangement with a 5.5-foot bed is currently available, which costs $69,300 plus a $1,795 destination fee. With an added paint job, the total comes to $69,725 (plus destination fee). A cheaper model of the hybrid Tundra is the Platinum 4×2, which costs $62,885 (plus destination fee). Whether consumers want the hybrid or TRD Pro models, both are excellent choices!
