(By Tom Lohnes) – Do you want a 2022 Toyota Tundra? Is the near-$70,000 1794 edition not nice enough for you? Well, Toyota has a solution for that, and it’s aimed right at the Ford F-150 Limited.
Called the Capstone, this top-spec Tundra brings a standard hybrid powertrain, a lot of chrome, and a nicer interior to combat its luxury truck rivals. This iForce MAX hybrid powertrain consists of a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 plus a battery and a small electric motor to make a strong 437 horsepower and a second-best-in-class figure of 583 lb.-ft. First place still goes to the almighty Ram 1500 TRX. In terms of looks, the Capstone is blinged out, with standard 22” wheels, a chrome grille, chrome badging, and a very nice pearl white paint color. Inside, the nicest Tundra gets a 14-inch touchscreen, ambient lighting, a full digital gauge cluster, and the word “capstone” very nicely illuminated on the passenger side of the dashboard. Also, the seats get a new pattern of black and white leather, and a panoramic moonroof is now a standard feature.
The old top-spec Tundra 1794 edition will already run you nearly $70,000 fully loaded, so expect the capstone to be somewhere around there to start. Toyota claims these will be in stock at dealers this spring.
Perfect truck to take the crew back and forth to concrete pours, mudjacking sites, or asphalt work.
Just think to pay that much money, to have a vehicle with the UGLIEST front end ever!!
