Power is a must-have in the half-ton pickup truck class and the 2022 Toyota Tundra promises to tick all the boxes after a complete redesign inside and out. After this updated design, Mesa-area car shoppers who are hellbent on power want to know – what are the 2022 Toyota Tundra engine options and specs? Find out with this in-depth guide to 2022 Toyota Tundra engine options, specs and capabilities created by Earnhardt Toyota in Mesa, AZ. 



Standard 3.5-Liter i-FORCE Twin-Turbo V-6 Engine 

The rugged, body-on-frame design of the 2022 Toyota Tundra is backed by a power-packed standard engine. Base Toyota Tundra models employ a 3.5-liter i-FORCE Twin-Turbo V-6 that will manufacture 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, that is distributed via a 10-speed automatic transmission. The 3.5-liter i-FORCE Twin-Turbo V-6 represents a power upgrade over the 381-horsepower 5.7-liter i-FORCE V-8 employed by the 2021 Toyota Tundra. Fuel economy has not yet been released for the turbocharged Toyota Tundra – but is expected to outperform the previous generation. 

Available 3.5-Liter i-FORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V-6 Hybrid Engine 

Next-generation 2022 Toyota Tundra models will take performance to the next level with an available 3.5-Liter i-FORCE MAX Twin-Turbo V-6 Hybrid that will shell out 437 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 583 pound-feet of torque at 2,400 rpm. Armed with a 10-speed automatic transmission, a built-in motor generator and a next-generation Power Control Unit, the Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX powertrain is developed to maximize power, fuel economy and towing. Drive Mode Select is a highlight of the Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX with EV, Sport, Sport+ and TOW/HAUL modes.

How Much Will the 2022 Toyota Tundra Tow? 

Do you need a pickup truck to haul your boat or trailer? The 2022 Toyota Tundra will do the trick – and will improve on the towing and payload specs of the previous Toyota Tundra. Built with hard work in mind, the Toyota Tundra will tow up to 12,000 pounds of cargo with ease and will improve on the 10,200-pound capacity of its predecessor. A massive 1,940-pound payload capacity represents a marked improvement that will benefit drivers who opt for the next-generation Toyota Tundra at Earnhardt Toyota.
