They would probably sell more if the dealers weren't so greedy and add so much to the MSRP. A local dealer has about 10 of them and have added $12,000 to each price.

 

They have a 6 month backlog on all Limited and below. More for the capstone and the Pro is 2-3 years out. They can't sell what they don't have.

 

I've had my '22 Limited on order for near 2 months. Supposedly it was "on the train" to the dealership on 5/26, so any day.

 

My personal opinion? Most of us buy/bought Tundras for the expected longevity without major repair costs. That is not possible on a high pressure, turbo boosted engine.

 

Right on!

 

Should have kept a V8 option until they do i will never buy one same goes for anything with a turbo. I will just buy old if they don't change it.

 

I really do not agree. Of course I bought one and love it. It seems that its hard to believe that 2 things can be true at the same time. The performance of the Tundra Hybrid is astonishing. I believe this powertrain will exceed the expectations of most, if not all naysayers. I think the load that is removed from the ICE engine by the MG in normal use will extend the life of this powertrain and you simply cannot argue that it exceeds the performance of the V8 in every way. In addition, regenerative braking will extend the life of brake components. I do agree that demonstrated reliability is not equal to projected reliability, but I do trust Toyota engineers and I think what we are looking at is the future of pick up power trains. It makes the cost and performance of all the Electric trucks look stupid. Its good, its smooth, its powerful and its available. I love it, every ICE engine loving gear head friend of mine that drives this thing gets the same silly smile on their face the first time they get after the throttle. I'm sure I did too. Its surprising, and I think it may be setting a new standard. All that said, I admire and Love the V8, I come to this truck from a 5.7 hemi etorque that had power to spare. The Toyota 5.7 is legendary, and all who love it are correct to love it imho, but I can love the hybrid too.

 

Do you own one or just trying to cause another internet feud? Usually these posts are from folks with no personal experience with the new truck.

 

Consumer Reports:
Lowest rated and least reliable full-size truck. CR report has always been a Toyota fan, but abysmal reviews and owners' feedback don't lie. Reliability rating is based on surveys of hundreds of actual owners, and the amount of issues reported is high enough to earn the Tundra "below average" reliability.
