I thought that was the highlander.
Ok so answering my own question based on The Drive article. It is possible for the electric motor to run on its own. But at 48hp and 100ftlb, that is not going to happen often. It is also not user selectable. So basically it is only good for low-end torque to boost off the line performance.
What Makes the 2022 Toyota Tundra’s Hybrid System Different From a Prius
The Tundra's hybrid powertrain is more about performance than fuel efficiency, and it has the hardware to back it up.

So the only functional difference between a SR5 TRD off road and a trd pro is a skid plate and shocks? I’m guessing it will be a 15-20k difference.
Nothing new in that regard
Anyone heard what the gas tank size is yet?
Waiting on this also. It’s gonna be terrible if it’s the same size as a LC200 or 4runner. Lucky to get 300 miles to a tank all hwy miles
Does the new Tundra/Sequoia have start/stop technology? Seems like everything does these days. If that electric assist helps like the RAM with the super annoying start/stop technology to get the vehicle jumping off the line and the engine restarted, then sign me up. Prior to COVID I traveled for work and the start/stop on my rental cars was the most annoying thing ever, and having to turn it off every time I got in the car pushed it over the edge.Ok so answering my own question based on The Drive article.

Toyota sells a ton of cars but honestly IMO how they handle the US market is somewhat odd. Especially how they handled the LC and LX badges, Just seemed odd to compete a mid tier LC with leather seats against a high tier LX for the same price.
In regard to the hyrbrid thing, I am not sure what they are going for, GM is getting 25-30 mpg's with the small diesels, They are also getting over 20's MPG out of their large diesels in their HD's, so 20 mpg's out of gas hybrid is not exactly interesting. Now, if their new engine is as bullet proof as previous engines, I would be Ok with that.
At this point, I am going to try and pick a new Sequoia up this fall, It check's alot of boxes for me, i like that it has room for 4 Adults and a decent amount of gear. I like that it has a rear locker, I like how it looks and it appears to be able to run 35's with little effort.
I have a TRD Pro Tundra on order and they're telling me it will probably be $70-75k...
Probably a nice market adjustment ... Horrible time to purchase a vehicle ...
There will be a time again when we can get under MSRP - maybe 2 year unfortunately
is that at msrp ?
so capstone maybe $78K to $80K. The platinum trim might be the sweet spot around $65K
Anyone try the Costco auto buying program? I went on Costco’s website and it’s still up and running but wondering if dealerships are honoring prices
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.
In Utah you'll get no offers. So the website works, but there are no results. At least that was my experience trying it recently.

Sequoia has typically been $17,000 more than tundra for the same trim level. You can do the math on whatever trim you're thinking about
Don’t know.
But NOT having it was a major reason I bought my Sequoia over Tahoe/suburban. I hate that crap.
You sure about that 17k number ... Dont think so
That’s their “estimate” I’ll know for sure when they receive their allocation.
