NHTSA and EPA regulations are killing the ability for companies to provide reliable, durable 4x4's with equal or higher power than previous models... Even my 2017 tacoma was absurd, the first Toyota 4x4 I've ever owned where my stud welder for dent pulling would just melt through even on LOW with small pins! 🤦‍♂️ Every year mileage requirements go up, mandatory safety equipment and testing goes up... Really we've been past the point of no return of having no "real" 4x4's since roughly 2010... If only we had exemptions for REAL Toyota 4x4s like Australia and South Africa... Atleast Ford tried with the Raptor, and Dodge with the power wagon until the EPA necessitated the gas powered ecoboost and terrible transmission... Ford didn't have the best history of reliability before being hampered by having to pair up that combo to maintain the same power levels at a higher EPA spec'd MPG rating... And Dodge died as soon as FIAT took over... RIP Bronco owner's wallets is all I can say 😐 Thanks EPA 👍 now go give some more tax credits to Amazon and Walmart who import everything on cargo ships burning millions of gallons of unrestricted crude oil and low grade diesel so we can have landfills full of un-repairable, single use import products... Great "Green" initiative EPA 👏

One of the reason those beeps is so infuriating to me is that I know that as soon as you overuse a super annoying beep like that, eventually you learn to ignore them thereby rendering them not only useless, but dangerous. It's a "cry wolf" situation where when you really need the beep you'll have already ignored it.

I also hated the beeping in lane assist. You can change that so it just vibrates the steering wheel. I was very happy to find that it could be changed. Mine has never experienced the random beeping like you are experiencing.

He’s listing all kinds of things that I’ve never once had an issue with in my 22 tundra. It’s by far the best truck I’ve ever owned.

Thank you Max for letting us and more importantly Toyota know this is totally unacceptable.

Great review! Adding your experience from different platforms was very helpful. I hope toyota listens to guys like you.

Hey max, I hope you see this comment. So I have quite a bit of experience with these 22 tundras my friend jus got 2, a limited TRD Off-Road and he traded in his 2019 1794 for a 2022 TRD Pro, I have been test driving the limited for almost a month now. And to address some of your concerns, the truck does beep at you a lot but for most of these things you can simply just turn them off, like all the safer gadgets that freak out when you’re off-road, for example, lane centering assist etc, they all can be turned and they won’t bother you. Secondly the TRD Off-Road while it has the name off-road in it, it’s more of an appearance package as I have discovered, it doesn’t really make the truck any more off-road capable than a bone stock, I mean it adds the more off-road tires and crawl control but that’s about it, to really get the best out of a TRD-off-road it has to be lifted with better tires as my friend and I found out while taking it off-road bone stock, it scraped and banged on a lot of things, but once the lift kit went on it, it changed into a different truck, also the front bumper on these 22’s are pretty low to the ground for efficiency sake so if you don’t wanna scrape it, it’s most likely would have to be modified. For the android auto disconnecting, I have figured out that it mostly happenes when you wirelessly connect to it, so most of the time using the cable solves that issue, I’ve also had the same problem in a lot of BMW’s where android auto or apple car play just disconnected on me while I was using it, and switching to the wired connection helps, and the problem can be fixed with an OTA update. Regarding the check engine light, same thing happened to my friends Limited Off-Road, it came on while we were driving, tried to restart the truck that didn’t change anything, we took it into the dealership and they ran a scan on it, nothing came up, it happened to just be a glitch for us. So i would say you should try to run a diagnostic check to see what the problem may possibly be. I feel this is the case that happens with any first year vehicle, same thing happens when the previous Gen tundra came out, it had its own fair share of issues but they were all worked out in a year or 2, same thing goes for any brand really, Ford has had a bunch recalls on the new F-150, it’s what happens when you get an all new vehicle, essentially the customers are the beta testers which sucks cos customers who get the bad example have a soured experience of the brand. In the case of the tundra, I have noticed that the trucks who were made the earliest seem to have the most amount problems, while the latter made trucks, have less problems. I have seen people who have had nothing to say but good things about the tundra on KZfaq and I’ve seen people who have had problems. I’m really sorry your truck hasn’t been making you happy, hopefully things would turn around. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with the tundra I test drove for quite some time and I’m looking into getting one for myself l, preferably a TRD Pro, Capstone or 1794. I think the new tundra is still a great truck, it’s pretty darn fast for what it is, the interior is miles and miles better than the previous Gen, it rows more, which is very important to me and it’s a lot more comfortable than the last generation. I’ve had a lot of seat time in the last Gen and I can confirm that. I also think it looks better but that’s a controversial opinion 😂. People like to hate on the new thing especially on the internet which made me start to doubt the new trucks but once I test drove one, I fell in love.

I think everything just sucks nowadays. I ordered the 2023 gmc canyon, waited 3 months for it. Drove it home, 23 miles on it. Power steering locked up, every error light possible came on, towed back to dealer. They couldn’t fix it, wouldn’t give me an extended warranty. Long story, they gave it back to GMC as well. Bought a 2023 tundra, and absolutely love it …..for now.

Man, I would be trading it in. That thing would drive me insane. I wouldn't invest a dime into upgrades.

Thanks for helping me confirm I’m making the right decision by keeping my 2020 Tundra.

You should probably trade it in for a 2015-2021 Tundra TRD Pro. Robust motor & non of the electronic crap. It would take more work to run 35s but it would be more durable for sure

FYI - you can change the lane departure to vibrate. It's buried in the dash menu. Or if you hold the button for 10 seconds it turns it off. Turning it off persists when you shut it off.

Thank you so much for this important info. Glad I watched you’re video bc I was going to get one next week. Thanks again…

This further confirms my want for a 18-21 Tundra

With this being the first year of the updated model hopefully they update and fix a lot off the issues you addressed in the next few years. I’m sure you’re not the only one with the same problems. Also I’m glad I have a manual Tacoma and a manual parking brake. Really the only “auto” feature it has is the cruise control and man when it hits the brakes it freaking slams on them. Other than that I’m glad it has less “safety” features than other modern trucks

Every time I watch these videos I'm convinced that my 2017 Tundra is a much better truck in every aspect but fuel economy.

Thanks for posting this! Not enough KZfaqrs talking about the bad on these trucks.

I have a tundra limited 2022 and absolutely love it from top to bottom, if you have problems with android maybe you need to change to an iPhone, I haven’t had any issues with car play, and all the safety features can be adjusted or modified on the main screen settings, what I love the most are all the parking assistant cameras make it so easy to park, the parking sensor can also be turned off when you are towing a trailer or something so it doesn’t affect the automatic brake system, good luck every one ✌🏽

The parking brake thing really gets me too. My wife and I just purchased a 2022 Grand Cherokee. We recently took a trip with the pop up and had to take the jeep because my truck was in the shop. I was trying to back it up to hook up the trailer with the door open. The parking brake kept setting and it took me 10 mins to figure out why. Very annoying when I was just trying to get a better view of the trailer.

I agree the safety and quality issues suck but I recently took my dad's limited trd off road for a roadtrip and it was a great experience for me. I love the new drive-train way more than the old due to how smooth and quick it is. The adaptive cruiser control and lane keep assist basically made it to where I wasn't even driving most of the trip, just holding the steering wheel. After a 9 hour drive, I wasn't even tired or anything.

I’ve been wanting a Tundra for a couple of years. When the 2022 tundra came out, I told my wife it’s time to buy a 2021. That the New Tundras is not what I want.

This makes me appreciate my 2019 more. Thanks for this overview

I noticed that the headroom was much lower in the new models than in my 2006 Tundra. The lower windshield height also is a deal breaker.

Question, not too be rude, but did you not wait and test drive one before you bought it? Especially when your tall, it’s a must before any car purchase.

I ordered a 2023 to Toyota Tundra dark blue pick it up on NOV 18/22 ..Its a BEAUTIFUL truck very comfortable seat and nice interior.. I've been doing mechanical work for 40 years and had trucks sense 1978 . I also exchanged tires for BF GOODRICH KO2. The truck rides like a Lincoln and handle nice. The first thing i do is listen for noise from the Drive Line to Panels then drove to a gravel road and engage my 4x4 about 5 times. I engage my 4x4 at a FULL STOP most of the time or at 3 to 5 mph and everything work GREAT. .I put 600 miles on the truck so far...3 days ago we had some snow so i decided to engage 4x4 and it made a loud clunk it did this 2 times .. YESTERDAY I went to the dealer to have it check they told me that the TRANSFER CASE needed to be replaced... I THOUGHT HE WAS KIDDING he had to tell me 3 times before it SANK in ..I can feel my stomach turn over and said that i NEVER in 40 years had TRANSFER CASE ISSUES and I didn't even make my first payment yet ...They told me it may take 4 or more weeks to replace it ...I TOLD THEM THAT'S IT FOR HUNTING NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. We are getting snow now and you need a 4x4 working ....CEO ; AKIO TOYODA..Must resolve the issues with these NEW TUNDRA Truck or you will DESTROY TOYOTA reputation ..

Awesome video! Always enjoy seeing peoples perspectives or takes on things. I virtually have the same exact truck. I have the SR5 that is upgraded to the max | basically a limited trim level. I do NOT have any of the beeping you are getting while you drive. To help you out, maybe try turning off the lane assist? That is the first thing I did. The ONLY time my truck beeps is when I am in reverse. Secondly I thought the automatic air-dam [under the bumper] was only on the Sport packages | not on the Off Road Packages [Mine does NOT have one]? Not saying you are incorrect- maybe its a limited trim level thing? I know you are pretty well versed in truck knowledge- this is more of a question to anyone that knows for certain. Regardless- awesome video | great content! I hope the truck works out for you in the end!

Probably pressing a button, changing some settings, and some after market tuning solutions could improve your experience. Interested to hear what you like in the next video, and see how it balances out.

Thank you so much for making this video. Glad to hear someone talk about what it's like in the day to day.

as someone with a '18 Tundra, the dings and sensors on that one can get annoying as well. The '22 seems like overkill. The lane change beep doesnt happen if you have the blinker on

Makes me appreciate my 2014 Toyota all the more.Kills that grass is always greener obsession with new models though.The lack of windshield view would have not even got me to the test drive phase

Some of the chimes can be easily turned off. The lane departure can be turned to a vibrate instead. The first beeping you showed though... Mine has never made that sound so I don't know about it. The seat belt chime does turn off after a while even though it seems like forever.

Great video thanks!

Great video!!!! Very informative

I’m sorry that you had to deal with the 2022. I’ve seen so many reviews prior to it coming out and I didn’t like what I was seeing so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the 2021 TRD pro and absolutely love it. Its everything I wanted in the truck and lotta things that you discussed about the alarms and sensors I have Don’t have those issues. I would see if I could trade it out for a 21. Just saying. You should find one and drive it. Toyota should call you to test there shitz so you can show them the Max Pain we all love!

You can switch the lane keep assist from an audible alarm to vibrating the steering wheel. I have 1000 miles on my Tundra and I the only beeps I hear is if I'm getting too close to an object.

Great video man, I have noticed that safety and economy have taken over driver usability and sadly is what i have seen is that in order to get more driver usability you need to downgrade trim level which is a let down since some people want certain things but cant get with certain trim levels, amazing video though shows what should be addressed with toyota to make their truck better for next year

I'm so glad I came upon this video. Great review! I had thought of getting a tundra but now maybe I'll look at another truck.

Have you seen the 2022 70 series Land Cruisers they sell in Australia and probably the middle east? Wish they'd bring those to NA.

Thank you Max Powell for your hard work and great content! 👍

I just purchased a 2023 limited and a few things. 1. Free year of maps, or if overlanding get a paper map (duh) 2. You can turn off the parking sensors, there is a physical button. 3. You can turn off Lane keep beep 4. You can buy a buckle for any car on Amazon for the seat belt sensors. 5. Auto headlights are standard on every trim, rain sensing wipers are not. This video is sensationalized for views(i get it), most things are non issues, driver error, or easily adjusted if you read the owners manual to maybe learn how your new truck works. Test drive a truck before you buy, don't like the view from the drivers seat or the led lights inside the cab, or want to go overlanding but get the worst light duty truck for turning radius and payload then it's on you not the truck.

Hey Max. Thank you for the review. I recently bought a new Ranger a few months ago and I have almost the same issues. I’ve had several Fords and Toyotas and I think with Covid and all the shortages these car manufacturers are getting cheap on ALOT of things and it’s crazy frustrating especially when everything is marked up..

The reason Toyota did the parking brake as they did is simple: they didn’t want their customers to ghost ride their trucks over a cliff after they went insane from the beeping.

I totally feel you man, I had a 2020 Trd pro tundra and I didn’t appreciate the plastics around the vehicle as well as many beeping sounds also.

Most of the features causing beeping can be adjusted or tuned off completely to avoid the issues. Seems like the truck definitely has some electronic issues that hopefully were resolved with software updates that were released. I had initially experienced issues with Apple CarPlay but were fixed with software updates. Seat belt warning is really annoying. Most new cars do the same thing though. Took my 22’ on 3k mile road trip and absolutely loved it! Didn’t feel cramped at all. I’m 5’ 10” not not exactly tall by any means. My wife sad she was so comfortable throughout the 40+ hours of driving we did. Took it hard up mountain roads and didn’t get check engine light warnings or grill warnings. Hopefully yours has been fixed since. Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much for a very informative video! In my opinion, only the Tundra from 2007 to 2013 was the most successful model. (this is a convenient, reliable tank for every day) After 2014, the tundra lost many of its important practical qualities. I was waiting for a new Tundra and now I am no longer a Toyota Tundra fan boy, I am looking around to see what other pickup truck I can buy

A lot of those stuff you speak about you can turn off. The lane departure and that auto break. Not an issue. But those other stuff you complained about definitely. The pay for nav, the dimensions. How low the off-road is to the ground, the horrible break over angles, especially the front end.

Great review sir.. Thanks!

I have a 2022 Tundra. I really like it, but agree with some of the things you brought up. What is the button you need to press to allow moving the truck with a door open? I also find this parking brake design annoying. I sometimes need to move the truck a few feet but can't with a door open.

I remember feeling this frustrated with my 3rd Gen Tacoma. It's taken years to get used to and I'm still counting the days until I can swap it for something else. Toyota North America taking over the truck production for Toyota is Toyotas downfall

What kind of mileage have you averaged? I considered trading my new Rebel for a trd off-road. But every single one of these is not an issue with my Rebel. So probably not. But I do get 16mpg avg with 295/70r18’s. So it definitely costs more to drive. But…that’s my only complaint so far.

At 2:30 you had enough room to your left to avoid going over that stump where you got stuck. I get I though going over that stump would’ve been a good photo op for your Instagram

I’ve been eyeing a new Tundra to replace my high mileage 4Runner. One of my favorite things about the 4Runner is that it lacks all of the technology. Maybe letting the market settle down and picking up a 21 Tundra would be a better option.

Great video. I learned a lot. Have been considering trading my 2019 TRD Pro for a 2022 TRD premium. This video is more evidence as to why I should not trade.

Thanks for sharing, these are the kind of things I was afraid of with this new Gen Tundra. It’s very unfortunate that Toyota is trying to milk people for subscriptions on something as basic as navigation. The other “safety” items seem extremely annoying. Terrible vehicle experience. I’m a Toyota guy but I don’t think I can bring myself to buy a Tundra like this, unless at the very least a good tuner is available to fix these electronic issues.

Appreciate the heads up on this truck, I was really considering this truck.

This is a real video!! Thanks man 😎

Not sure what is so unacceptable about the automatic parking brake when you move and the door is open. That is a safety feature I would actually want so for whatever the truck doesn't just roll off!

I'm glad you commented on this. Overall the Tundra 2022 was a big disappointment for those of us who are consumers of this wonderful model of car and expected much more. I have a 2010 with over 300,000 and it has been an excellent experience, the best car I have ever had, its main use is to be my car for the day but mostly for overland.

Thanks for making this video for us who might not know, hopefully you find solutions you can share with us as well!

The 2023 Nissan Titan is what the new Tundra should be. Naturally aspirated V8, no auto start, no cylinder deactivation, free navigation, free remote start and best warranty of any fullsize to name a few.

Thank you so much for this real world use video! I am a farmer and so the constant beeping, seat belt, park brake, safety "features" etc are a HUGE deal breaker for me. These manufacturers need to remember that people use trucks for more than just highway driving. Let us control the damn things! It looks like I'll be sticking with Ford again for my next truck. Too bad, the TRD Pro was looking good.

As soon as they announced the 2022 tundra I went and bought a brand new 2021! Too much tech in that new truck and none of it really useful just annoying as demonstrated by this video. They definitely went cheap with the new tundra and the fanboys refuse to accept it. They had 15 years to redesign the truck and make it the absolute best tundra ever and they came up way WAY short

Thank you so much for your input concerning the new Tundra. Was on the fence about the truck, now I'm back on the porch. I'm not pulling the trigger on one for a few years at least. My 2019 Tundra TRD Pro is paid for and drives great, no complaints at all. Thanks again.

Feature subscriptions are a huge deal right now in the automotive industry, BMW and Mercedes are about to come out with pay per month features in some of their more upscale models. I love the FZJ80 since it's affordable to DIY and you can upgrade/restomod any features that are worth incorporating from a modern car. I had a first gen Sequoia and that was an outstanding grocery getter/car camping rig.

Thought about taking advantage of current prices, selling my raptor for a profit and getting one of these. Held off to wait for the reviews and early impressions. So far I just don't see any world where I'd get rid of a truck that does almost everything right for one that does so many things wrong. One thing you didn't mention but that is important in snowy areas like the mountains where I live.... No 4A mode, they're still having you shift in and out of 2H and 4H. That was one of the deal breakers for me, especially early or late season when you're often going from hardpack to asphalt and back.

Honestly, this truck was at the top of my shopping list… was. This truck would drive me nuts.

The Roof Rack you're sporting homie Which one did you go with and did drilling in to the roof set off any error codes like I got when I Tinted my front window and had to pay and extra $480 to get it recalibrated.

Thanks so much for the review man! I was seriously considering the Tundra but those beeps and chimes would drive me NUTS!

I agree the beepings are very annoying but I think most of those beeping are resulted from you ripping off the front bumper, especially the check engine light for the front grille shutters that is right under the front bumper that you pulled off when backing up from that obstacle.

Informative video. I’ve cancelled my order even though it was a nice trim and color. Gonna build something else

Great video I have a ram 2019 limited with plenty of miles and now I'm thinking of getting the tundra TRD or the F-150 Platinum FX4 powerboats, I get to see the lack of quality in many things with the Tundra but I love the look of the truck and I was still thinking about it but with all these just makes me more secure of the choice ill make, thanks a lot!

I recently bought a 2023 Tundra and a lot of the beeping safety items can now be turned off or they have changed to a vibration. I turned off lane keep assist as I found it to be dangerous in many situations. So far, I am enjoying the truck. No problems yo speak of yet.

Ivory headliner is also a complete deal breaker. No off-road truck should have an ivory headliner it just gets disgusting

As much as I like the Tundra, I’m not too sure I could go with the newer models. Some of the things (like the automatic lights), i’m surprised aren’t there, especially with the Limited model. It’s the same with the 3rd Gen base Tacos too. When I got my ‘18 sport taco, I was shocked it wasn’t a feature. Annoying really - The dealer just told me to always leave the lights on and they turn off after about 30 seconds. No thanks. I ended up trading it for a ‘19 Off Road with the tech package which came with auto lights. Luckily, much of the safety sense can be disabled on it so not all the beeps are constant. Good luck with it!

Yes thank you Maxx. Was on the fence but now I know there are too many deal breakers for me.

That beeping is just crazy....feelin' the road rage building

Plastic off road... oh, fun.

Wow. Yeah I’m a bit bummed by a couple of these issues with my 2022 Tacoma. I feel the 4Runner is a much nicer made vehicle. But man, the Tundra seems unacceptable in a few ways.

My brother...you're not being negative, you're being HONEST. Sell the POS now. All the lifts and tires, bed rack etc. isn't going to make any of the things you dislike go away. Those sensors, the brake etc. just garbage. My 20 year old Suburban Z71 4x4 has auto lights, wipers, drivers window. Lol! Quit while you're behind on this thing...

Thank You, you just convinced me to keep my 2017 (for now) and saved me from my impulse to get a new truck.

Good god man, I couldn’t stand the tech in my 3rd gen Tacoma. This seems 100x worse than the Tacoma lol. I guess there is a reason the f150 is the best selling truck.

I mean you paid 90k for a raptor and said you loved it but the engine blew. Idk how you can mention quality being an issue

I’m sure you have but with the family have you driven a full size? I’m running a RAM 2500 with a flatbed camper, in the PNW also and camp all year. Sure can’t hit the right stuff but great road trip rig.

I also bought a 2022 Tundra with the TRD off road package. But early on this video compares this truck to the Ford Raptor but the off-road package is not the same thing as the TRD Pro Tundra. Might not be a true apples to apples comparison but I'll finish watching. Thanks!

Yikes, I'll stick with my Ram. Thanks for pointing out those glaring issues.

Wow, so glad I bought my '22 F150 Powerboost......... we're super happy with it and the quality and fit and finish is first rate. My first in-person impressions of the new Tundra were not good; it seems like a poorly assembled, not very well thought out, plastic truck. Having said that, I hope things improve and you can feel as good about your Tundra as we do about our F150 hybrid Powerboost.

The video I needed to see. I was literally placing an order for the hybrid version tomorrow. No way now.

My trd that I got in March has automatic headlights and my seatbelt chime does eventually shut off.

I think you should sell it before spending money on mods? The new Tundra is overpriced, cheaply made, and just a huge disappointment 😞

Great video. I love my 2021 Platinum V-8 non-turbo Tundra. I plan on keeping it for a very long time…….

Cool vid!

Great video. If I want to drive with my belt off and my door open I should be able to. The lane departure noise/correction scared the shit out of me the first time it kicked in.

Very good video! Off to find a used older model tundra lol!

Late to the party, but what button did you press to turn of the parking brake with the door open because that shit annoys the hell outta me when I'm trying to back up with a trailer?

We had the same issue with android auto with my wife’s Camry. We switched to a better chord and it seemed to help a lot. I think it’s and android auto thing bc I recently switched back to iPhone and it doesn’t have that problem in her car.

Cool review!

I have a ram company truck that does the same braking when the door is open and i hate it. I have a 2022 tundra capstone with a small lift or leveling kit (bought it that way) and 35's and had not realized it has that too yet. Also all that beeping from driving around your property, what is that from? I have never had that. I have turned off the lane assist bc of all that beeping

All these things make sense and they would all totally annoy me too! All that safety crap and features scare me which is why I love my 2017! 2017 was so basic and didn't have 90% of the problems you mention. Hopefully it gets better for your homie!

Yeah, all the alarms going off pissed me off just watching your vlog! Think I'll stick with my '15 Tacoma!

Those chimes would drive me nuts. Thank you for calling it out. I think your perspective on these small but annoying items is right-on.
