2022 Toyota Tundra Capstone Luxury Truck: Full Review

Toyota is coming out swinging once again with their flagship truck, the new 2022 Toyota Tundra Capstone is about to happen. This full-size truck is gargantuan and many would put a label of a working horse on it.

But it is so much more than a simple working pickup. It is quite stylish and well designed. Attention was given to the smallest of details inside and outside. Numerous tweaks were happening to update the previous version so the specifications and performance were enhanced. Toyota is of course competing against the Big Blue Oval and Ram.

And while some manufacturers like to forget about the interior and slap a big engine under the hood, Toyota simply isn’t about that. They prefer their trucks to be a style statement so that people can use them for everyday life, not just for work.

Interior

Starting with the cabin itself, it resides on hydraulic cab mounts. This allows Tundra to go at great speed even on the bumpiest roads.

The people inside the cabin shouldn’t feel things thanks to this ingenious invention. The seats have many options when it comes to materials. Leather, fabric, suede, and plush, along with this we will have a lot of new color choices. The instrument panel is built from scratch. It is very minimalistic with the least amount of knobs and buttons. It has a lot of wood and chrome on it, as well as the rest of the cabin. This simply screams luxury and we cannot stress enough how much this means to people who are driving along in the truck.

There is a huge 14-inch infotainment system on the panel. This controls everything connected to a battery. Everyone can join in on the fun since the screen is quite big. There are some buttons on the steering wheel so the driver doesn’t have to take his sight off the road. This greatly improves the safety aspect of the truck.
