The landscape is changing!
"Not that long ago, an “inside source” let it slip that the Tundra would get the 3.5-liter engine from the Lexus LS 500 in combination with the lithium-ion battery and electric motor of the Lexus LS 500h. The tipster also said that 450 horsepower and 500 pound-feet are doable, along with 30-plus MPG."

Re: 30 mpg Toyota Tundra 2022 Hybrid
For 2022, however, Toyota is launching an all-new truck with all-new underpinnings and no V8 option. Reports in the Japanese media suggest that all of the automaker’s V8 development programs have been canned in favor of turbos and electrified powertrains, and this gets us to the F1.
Also known as the TNGA-F, the ladder-frame chassis of the 2022 Tundra isn’t designed with eight-cylinder mills in mind. At most, you can look forward to six cylinders, forced induction, and hybrid assistance for the full-size pickup.

Until Toyota comes clean about F1-based models like the half-ton workhorse, Russian motoring publication Kolesa has treated us to a speculative rendering of the next-generation truck. The bling-bling grille flanked by small headlights is complemented by a big-rig hood in the style of Ram, the side profile is more American than ever, and the tailgate is beautifully minimalist in design.
