Don’t know.

But NOT having it was a major reason I bought my Sequoia over Tahoe/suburban. I hate that crap.
Unfortunately, it's a good way for manufacturers to reach the numbers required by the government and I fear all vehicles will have them soon. Not so bad for the hybrid vehicles but for a regular ICE, it is a terrible experience.

I will likely never have one. I will keep what I have and by the time I need something new it will be all electric
 
You sure about that 17k number ... Dont think so
I have no idea what the new pricing will be. That was the 2021 tundra vs 2021 Sequoia difference for the trims I compared. It varied between $15k at the sr5 level and $17k at the platinum level. That third row is apparently very expensive.

I used that as a base to estimate from because it was the most recent model year pricing where the two were shared platform. Seems reasonable to expect about the same this time. But who knows? Maybe they'll be the same this time.

The only other data point I can think of is 4runner vs Taco. 4runner is $6-7k more.

I have a TRD Pro Tundra on order and they're telling me it will probably be $70-75k...

Did you order the Quick Cab Release option? :)

Like this? Toyota is catching on.

Yeah. Hybrid performance isn't good. GM did better in its sierra hybrid 1O years ago. The 6.0/hybrid got better mpg than the new tundra. And it had very similar power numbers. Toyota's engineers were once the pros at hybrid tech. I honestly think the result is a worse vehicle overall. The extra weight and loss of storage isn't worth the 1mpg improvement and half second 0-60 even if it were free. I'd rather not have it. Especially for the $3500 upgrade it adds on the tundra.

We might end up with one, but I'm not sure after the mpg numbers. I liked the initial design choices. But the mpg is looking like a deal breaker at this point. My wife wants something at least reasonably efficient as her daily. I don't think 20mpg is good enough. Not when it's more expensive than a Rivian.

I think in the end one is going to take a hit somewhere, so while 20mpg's is at best marginal for its class, I think better reliability, less down time, and less depreciation can cancel out the additional expense on fuel cost. I have no issues spending an extra 10 bucks or so to drive 300 miles a week.

BUT... If the reliability is not there, the value proposition of the toyota is not as great as it once was.

I like the looks, I like the locker, i like the ability to run 35's, but without really good reliability, I am more drawn towards a GMC 2500 or Raptor.

Agree that without stand out reliability, there is very little reason to buy a Toyota these days. Competitors give you more of what most people want, sometimes for less money.
 
Anyone heard anything recently regarding allocations? I talked to a few local dealers, no one is making lists yet.
The production versions are not being made yet. What you see now in videos and press releases are trial & prototype builds.

Production versions start in June I think so allocations should start around that time.

I bet it isn't a firm list at this point. Toyota production is way behind on just the 2022 Tundra alone. Toyota plant has been adding Saturday production days just to try to catch up. Anyone that works there can tell you this though.

With the Sequoia and Tundra being built on the same line....it is not going to help catch up for the first few months at least.
