Although gas prices are soaring and vehicle prices have increased, people still love their trucks. Pickup trucks are especially popular in the United States and have been for a long time. However, many trucks have decreased sales in the past year due to these rising costs (for example, F-Series -10.75%, Tacoma -15.40%). Surprisingly, the Toyota Tundra is the only truck outselling itself year-to-date compared to 2021. Why is this?
Why do so many people prefer the Tundra to other trucks?
The redesigned 2022 Toyota Tundra is one of the main reasons for the year-to-date sales increase. According to Edmunds, the full-size truck underwent a complete overhaul for its upgrades. Many things changed, including its design, engine lineup, and more. It finally replaced its predecessor, which was sold old from 2007 to 2021. Furthermore, that’s a long time for people to wait to buy the next new version of the Toyota full-size truck.

The new generation of Tundra has also helped sales with its engine options; the all-new turbocharged V6 is now standard, with a hybrid option also available. In addition, there are upgrades to the frame, suspension, transmission, and steering that make for a smoother ride. Lastly, the top trim level features the best luxury features for those who want it all in their pickup truck.

It also has 18-inch black alloy wheels, a larger 38.0-gallon fuel tank, and TRD Pro leather seats for upscale interior comfort.
When it comes to towing capacity, the 2022 Toyota Tundra's towing capacity is breaking records. This is partly due to all the structural changes Toyota made to the truck. The new Tundra can tow up to 12,000 pounds (compared to 10,000 pounds before), and its payload capacity has increased from 1,660 pounds to 1,940 pounds.
Safety

Toyota Tundra is an excellent choice if you're considering buying a pickup truck in 2022. It's got hybrid power, it can tow more than before, it has more advanced technology, and its interior has been redesigned to bring it up to date.
In conclusion, one of the main reasons for the improved sales is that Toyota did a complete redesign for the 2022 Toyota Tundra. The redesign took away a lot of what people didn’t like about the older model; the new version offers a fresh design, new engines, and much more.
