Nice looking tundra! I was a loyal Toyota owner for as far back as my first vehicle as a teenager. I’ve owned three different generations of tundra’s. This past January I purchased a 22 tundra and I soon started to realize how poor the build quality was on my 22 compared to my other tundra’s. I especially noticed some of the quality issues when when hand washing the truck, the third brake light had a gap all the way around it and it wobbled when washing around it . Same thing with the antenna fin on the roof. Also, the rubber trim around back door windows lift up and aren’t long enough to seat properly.There’s just so much more plastic on the new tundra now, the center console always rattled and I started having that “clunk” sound at startups periodically that people have talked about.
I can’t forget to mention the mysterious bed rattle that happened every time I went over a bump, couldn’t find where it was coming from.
In comparison I’d say even though the tundra had a lag in throttle response from a dead stop, it was definitely peppier than the 5.7 etorque and it pulled a 6k T.T. With ease. I do miss the Toyota safety sense features, and even though the Tundra ride quality was better than previous gens, the ram has a smoother ride, and so far surprisingly the ram is getting around 1+ mpg better than the tundra.
I hope you enjoy your new tundra , you have a nice looking truck!
Here’s a pic of my 22 tundra next to my new Ram Laramie.
