Toyota Dealer Makes Bold Claim About Next Tundra

TheToyota Tundrahasn't undergone a major redesign since 2007 but has received numerous updates since. However, that's no longer good enough as the competition has since surpassed Toyota's full-size truck offering. It's no secret the Japanese automaker will soon reveal thethird-generation Tundraand already Toyota dealerships across the country are extremely excited. There's a good reason why, aside from its advanced age.

Last year, just over 109,000 units were sold, atwo percent decrease from 2019. Speaking to Automotive News, Toyota's National Dealer Advisory Council Chairman Robby Findlay claims the new Tundra is the most exciting new vehicle in the past five years.

"From everything that they're telling us, we're going to have best in class," he said. "I mean, we're going to have a world-beater, and it's going to be fun to really go toe-to-toe with the domestic trucks." The fact he described it as a "world-beater" is what caught our attention.

We do know the 2022 Tundra will ride on the TNGA-F platform and will drop the naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V8 in favor of a new twin-turbo V6. Arecent renderingshowcasing what the new truck could look like is supposedly pretty spot-on, according to inside sources. But will it truly be capable of surpassing the new Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and upcoming Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra refresh?
