2022 Toyota Tundra Is More Expensive than Chevy, Ford, Ram Trucks

Starting at $37,645, it’ll go on sale later this year with a new twin-turbo V-6 engine and suspension setup. The hybrid’s price won’t be announced until later.

• Toyota announced pricing for the 2022 Tundra full-size pickup equipped with the new twin-turbo V-6 engine. 
• It starts at $37,645 for a base SR model with an extended cab, 6.5-foot bed, and rear-wheel drive. 
• The new Tundras will arrive at dealerships by the end of the year, and the new hybrid models’ price will be announced closer to its on-sale date early next year. 

Toyota redesigned the Tundra full-size pickup after 15 years with the hopes of making it more competitive with American trucks from Chevy, Ford, and Ram, all of which currently outsell the Tundra. It added features like a new coil-spring rear suspension, which should improve its ride, and a 14.0-inch touchscreen, the largest in its class. Those upgrades come at a cost, though, because the new Tundra’s starting price comes in at $37,645, higher than the domestic pickups.

That starting price is for the SR work truck model (pictured above) in standard extended-cab configuration with a 6.5-foot bed and rear-wheel drive. Toyota Tundra buyers have the choice of an extended- or crew-cab configuration with either a 5.5-, 6.5, or 8.1-foot bed depending on model, and four-wheel drive is available for an additional $3000. The Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150, and Ram 1500’s base work trucks all come in cheaper than the Tundra’s base price, but the Ford and Chevy have smaller regular cab options. The Ram, like the Tundra, is only available in extended- and crew-cab configurations. Comparing similar configurations, though, the Tundra is still more expensive, but the Ford reaches higher prices in its top-of-the-line trims.
