They should bring Cement back for the Tundra.

I like Cement much more than Lunar Rock. Lunar Rock has a green tinge to it that I’m not particularly fond of. Lunar Rock looks good on the Tacoma, but I’d chose other colors for the rest of the lineup. I really like Incognito, and I wish Incognito made it to Toyota lineup.

I’m surprised Army Green is gone. That seemed to be a pretty popular color around where I live. My favorite color on the 4Runner too.

That is gorgeous. I am still upset that the Tundra doesn't offer some of the tech that the Tacoma does or massaging seats like it's competitors but the leather here looks really good.

I was wondering - There was a rumor about a Tundra Prime before. What happened to that? Any chance we might see that on a refresh?

 

[Gecko]

That is KILLER.

 

[GoHuskers]

@Gecko is going to trade both his Taco and GX460 for that Tundra. It looks killer though

If I had a bigger garage, I would definitely trade in the Tacoma for a Tundra... but alas... I don't and the Tacoma barely fits in my garage (back when it was allowed 😂).

Toyota Unleashes The TRD Performance Package Power-up Option For Tundra - Toyota USA Newsroom

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 31, 2023) – Toyota announced today that it will be offering a TRD Performance Package for Tundra customers starting in early 2024. Recognizing the opportunity to leverage the new Tundra and its twin turbocharged, i-FORCE V6 engine, […]

pressroom.toyota.com

In factory trim, the base i-FORCE engine produces 389 peak horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 479 lb-ft. of torque at 2,400 rpm,” said Greg Bernas, vice president, Toyota Service Parts and Accessories Development. “The TRD Performance Package increases power output to 421 horsepower at 5,200 rpm, while peak torque comes on 400 rpm sooner, delivering 479 lb-ft. of torque at 2,000 rpm, broadening the torque band and significantly improving power delivery at throttle tip in,” Bernas said. “On the i-FORCE MAX Tundra, the kit boosts horsepower from 437 to 469.

This is basically a high octane tune similar to the LC300/LX600. The peak torque is at the same rpm as those two.

The slight power advantage is probably because American premium fuel is 97RON while international markets premium is 95RON.

 

[Gecko]

Factory option for 421hp on the standard Tundra and 469hp for the iForceMAX... amazing.

LX 600 needs this tune stock. Can LX 700h crack 500hp though please?

 

[ssun30]

What they didn't mention is the new tune will also increase torque to 820N.m (606 lb.ft) because there is now more overlap between the ICE's and motor's torque.

Factory option for 421hp on the standard Tundra and 469hp for the iForceMAX... amazing.

LX 600 needs this tune stock. Can LX 700h crack 500hp though please?

With the RX500h's bipolar NiMH battery it is possible. But that battery also only has 1.44kWh capacity when the 1.87kWh on current Tundra is already too little.

Toyota Recalls Certain Model Year 2022-2023 Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX Vehicles - Toyota USA Newsroom

PLANO, Texas (May 30, 2024)—Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain model year 2022–2023 Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX (conventional gas model only) vehicles in North America. Approximately, 102,000 Toyota and Lexus branded vehicles are involved in this recall […]

Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain model year 2022–2023 Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX (conventional gas model only) vehicles in North America. Approximately, 102,000 Toyota and Lexus branded vehicles are involved in this recall in the U.S.

There is a possibility that certain machining debris may not have been cleared from the engine when it was produced. In the involved vehicles, this can lead to potential engine knocking, engine rough running, engine no start and/or a loss of motive power. A loss of motive power while driving at higher speeds can increase the risk of a crash.

 

[NomadDan]

Good to see Toyota addressing the issue. It’s a bummer to see all the issues the Tundra has had/is having, but props to Toyota for owning up to it and doing the recall.

 

[Flagship1]

Seems the inside source posted that this was machine debris in tundra motors were right. This also begs the question why are LX motors included? The commonly held belief here and elsewhere has been that LX motors are built in Japan and held to a higher standard.

It also seems odd that the Sequoia is not recalled.

[EDIT:] Apparently the recall is for non-hybrid models, which is why Sequoia isn’t covered.
