good morning 2022...

Saw my first 2022 Tundra in person today. Cement, Limited crew. Owner tows a 27’ Airstream and says it handles well both on flat and in Mtns (lives near Big Bear).

Have to admit that it is not as butt ugly in person as it was in print. Grill not as billboard-ish in person.

Just saw this, heads up to 2022 Tundra owners - updated post.

Apparently there's nothing worse than "have certain nuts that can loosen over time."

David,

Will have the Toyota dealer to check out our Tundra next week.

Thanks,

Took the Tundra for the recall and the dealer needed less than an hour to perform recall work. 🙂

Been experimenting using cruise control while towing Ollie with over 10,000 miles on the Tundra’s odometer after this trip.

Tundra’s on board MPG is accurate and was used for two test using cruise control. Both test were over 300 miles each on interstates.

2WD 3.5L 10 speed Tundra with street tires on Ollie & Tundra.  TV tire pressures 40 PSI and Ollie’s tire pressures 50 PSI. LE2 Ollie’s weight between 4900 to 4950 pounds with empty grey and black water tanks. Rig weight is around 10,900 pounds. Check Rig & TV/Ollie weights periodically with CAT scales.

Set cruise at 63MPH yielding 61MPH GPS speed. Tow haul mode used with 7th gear. Engine speed was 2150 RPM. 

During the test while climbing a 5% grade reduced speed to 55MPH and dropped down to 6th gear.

One way test from Crossville TN (TN plateau area) to Denver NC yielded 15.8 MPG.

Round trip from Crossville TN to Howenwald TN and back to Crossville yielded 15.5 MPG.

Should see better MPG in the flat lands, will see.
