Howdy, I started owning Toyota trucks in 1991 when I purchased a Hi-lux 4x4 king cab V-6. I put 198,000 on it and only replaced the front brake pads. Toyota did the recall on the head gasket. And I went through a few sets of tires. I sold it in 2000 and purchased a Tundra 4x4 king cab TRD ABS. I replaced a starter during my ownership. I sold it 10 years later with 114,000 or so miles. Great truck that I still see on occasion. Last I knew it was deep into the 300,000 mile range. I purchased a 2010 Tundra Crew Max 4x4 and I am still driving it and just turned 200,000 miles. This truck is supercharged with an HP tune, has ARB air lockers front and rear on board compressor, air bags and a lot more.

When I saw the pictures of the 2022 Tundra I did not like the grill or much else. When seeing them in person they always catch my eye as they are the best looking trucks on the road. I am NO fan of V-6 motors nor of complicated electronics and a touch screen to distract one from driving when raido volume needs to be adjusted or the defroster fan needs adjusting. Knobs that can be adjusted by memory without having to look are a safer option.

I usually buy a new truck every ten years. But ten years with my 2010 have passed, I have not purchased a new Tundra solely due to the motor and the only option is a hybrid. I have more money in my 2010 than it is worth and it is a great truck so I will probably never get rid of it. I feel the iForce motors have the reliability of the old 22R four cylinders in the Hi-Lux. So I will monitor the reliability of the new truck and see if I will be purchasing a gen 3 Tundra.

I have been on Tundra Talk for years and noticed the new Tundra3 sight and wanted to check it out and keep up on the third generation Tundra to see if it is a truck I may consider in the future. My user name on Tundra Talk is the same 310z.

Welcome to the forum @310z! If the new Tundra doesn't meet what you're looking for are there other trucks you're taking a look at?

Welcome @310z. How are you planning to spec the new Tundra?

Welcome to the forum @310z! If the new Tundra doesn't meet what you're looking for are there other trucks you're taking a look at?

Although I own a 310Z (Datsun 240Z stroked out to a 3.1L) I am a truck guy. I drive a truck as my daily and have since my first vehicle a 1966 F-100 short bed Custom cab that I purchased used in about 1984. To me a truck is about the drive terrain, all around function, durability, and reliability. Toyota truck's have always been at the pinnacle of this description and they probably still will.

I have been able to keep my vehicles on the road for hundreds of thousands of miles and although nice, I do not need a truck with lane assist. I also do not buy a vehicle for it's ability to connect to my phone. The list goes on. However, I do need a truck with great off-road ability and street ability. I live in the mountains and do things trucks are made for.

So having recently retired my next truck will be based on need. As in the ability to do all of what I have mentioned and tow a trailer. So if my wife and I up grade to a heavier trailer I would be looking at a Ford F-350 Tremor with 6.7L although a centrifugal supercharger just came out for the gas 7.3L that looks real interesting. I would love a Cummins but not in a Dodge, Ram, Stalantis vehicle. If I do not need the towing ability of a F-350 I would be interested in either a F-150 Tremor 5.0L supercharged or a Chevy Silverado ZR2 with supercharger.

But being a Toyota guy I would not rule out a Tundra. I like the TRD PRO that is available in white with the red interior but the PRO suspension does not meet many of my needs as it sits too low to the ground. If the PRO was three inches higher I would just look at a PRO. So instead I would be looking at a TRD package with factory lift. I know Toyota's hybrid system is well proven so I would probably opt for it. Need helps decide what I would buy. Currently what I have is what I want.

Welcome @310z. How are you planning to spec the new Tundra?

I would probably purchase a 2021 and repeat what I have done to my 2010. But if I were to go with a gen 3, I would probably get a 1794 iForce Max 4x4 in blue print and saddle tan interior with 6.5 ft bed, TRD 3 inch factory lift, TRD with towing mirror package.
