The Rugged, Capable, and Redesigned 2022 Toyota Tundra

Toyota vehicles are known for their durability and comfortable rides, and the 2022 Toyota Tundra delivers. The automaker redesigned the 2022 Tundra with new exterior and interior features as well as a new collection of powertrain options that provide an improved towing capability.

Impressive Powertrain Choices and Safety Features

The 2022 Toyota Tundra towing capacity is based on what’s under the hood. The standard engine is a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can choose a mild-hybrid powertrain that pairs an electric motor with the turbocharged i-Force Max 3.5-liter V6 with 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque.

Toyota pairs them both with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drive. The EPA-estimated fuel economy on the V6 is 18/23 MPG. Buyers who choose a four-wheel-drive Tundra lose an MPG compared to the rear-wheel-drive models.

Along with impressive powertrain choices, the Tundra also comes with high-tech infotainment and safety features for drivers around Doraville, GA. The base trim – SR – comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi hotspot, USB ports, and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. All models come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite of features like Adaptive Cruise Control, a Rearview Camera, Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, and more.

Towing Capability

The towing capacity of the Toyota Tundra has changed compared to previous model years. How much can a Toyota Tundra tow? Depending on the engine, cab, and bed configuration, the Tundra can tow between 8,300 and 12,000 pounds. The minimum payload capability is 1,575.

The Tundra has advanced towing technology that includes an available 7-pin connector. The truck also has two modes – Tow/Haul – to adjust the throttle response based on whether you are towing or hauling. With the towing package, the Tundra also has an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and Blind Spot Monitor with Trailer Merge Warning.

Drivers who need a Tundra with maximum towing capability should choose a model with rear-wheel drive and a Double Cab paired with a 6.5-foot truck bed. The hybrid engine cannot tow as much as the traditional combustion engine. This same configuration also has the highest payload capacity, which can be as much as 1,940 pounds.
