I wonder what the wait times at dealers are going to be on these?  I'd imagine there will be pretty significant dealer markups, too.

I don't think Toyota is going to be able to make enough Tundras to keep up with demand for the first few years.

well with their top secret solution to chip shortage and allocation of resources to specific models only(like this one)   I think they may ramp up production as they know it will be top sales.   we'll see this winter.

The Tundra plant in Texas only had enough capacity to build ~100 000 Tundras a year - I think that was a huge reason they were happy to let the old model stagnate - yeah it had low sales relative to other half tons, but they were selling as many as they could build every year anyway.  I have no idea if they have been able (or even want) to increase production at their truck plant.

I'll be amazed if they can satisfy demand for the next year or two.

Toyota say that they are prioritizing the 2022 Tundra over other models.  So 120K units.  Maybe 12K for Canada.

The entire NA industry will take minimum 2 years to reverse the production cuts.  Amazing not to be able to toddle down to a dealer a pick out a new vehicle.  I acted in the nick of time.

Fantastic information. I'm not a fan of the twin turbo.

Toyota:  slow and steady.

Tundra production set to double in the Texas plant.  All Taco production goes to Mexico.  Kind of appropriate considering the name. 

Sequoia production moved to the Texas plant.

Thanks to sleepy Joe, Ontario plants hanging by a thread.  Tic tock on those operations.

I actually talked to my local dealer yesterday.  they have 3  on the lot, one for test drive and 2 for sale.  He also told me that they have a full shipment coming in and they are all unreserved so can be bought by anyone.   IF you want a specific and build your own he said the waiting time varies depending on the options but it's much less time than what people think... he said most are couple weeks, a month... so pretty good.

Toyota has already allocated their resource to specific models like this one...

Well that kind of makes sense with the announcement from them that they would be back to full capacity in December.  Looking forward to seeing the first ones hit the road.  I'm sure my opinion on the looks will change slightly when seeing them in person.

Methinks there's be some aftermarket tuning support for that V6.  Like the Ford Ecoboost, you should be able to flash the ECU and extract more power out of the TTV6. 

That being said, I've heard that Toyota ECU's are notoriously hard to crack, so we'll see if/when it happens, and what the gains are.

The V8 wasn't really tunable.  Outside of sticking a supercharger on, there weren't many options for getting more power out of it.

Interesting. If they really did manage their chip situation that well, I wonder how many customers they can convert away from other manufacturers who have no inventory.

A simple down pipe would likely wake it up without ECU changes. Most Japanese manufactures offerings are wound tight from the factory.

I'd be willing to bet a simple tune, maximizing current parts, and switching to 91/93 octane would yield a sizeable increase in power.  Most manufacturers keep the parameters quite conservative for longevity and reliability, so a turbo'd engine will always have a good amount of power to unlock with a simple tune and an upgrade in fuel grade.

Why would one even bother?  The hybrid model is the unit to get.

[dkaz]

Depending on the payload and tow rating of the hybrid, I'd agree.

The best Toyotas are built in Japan.  Owner complaining had 3 4Runners..Honda had the same problem when they moved Ridgeline production from Ontario to Alabama. The build quality deteriorated. I had to click in and fully seat lots of little trim bits on mine. Also had to add a shim to the tailgate. These are all build issues.

How are the Mexican Tacomas?

[Triple Bob]

WTF is that tailgate step design? Looks terrible IMHO.

[KD]

What about the face!  Looks ginormous from most angles.

Was talking with a friend of mine last night on the phone and he was telling me his coworker got a new Tundra for Christmas.  Gift from his wife and was a total surprise.  Nice gift! 

[Bubba]

Gift from his was and was a total surprise.
