Another report speculated the 2022 Toyota Tundra's TDR (Toyota Racing Development) gear paired with Fox Racing pieces. The vehicle might carry a TRD front skid plate, Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires sized 285/65, a bulky anti-roll bar, and Fox shock absorbers.

Rumors also said that 2022 Toyota Tundra would use new coil-spring suspension systems similar to Sierra and GM Silverado. The new system should improve ride quality and boost off-road power.

Several rumors also said that the 2022 Toyota Tundra would use a twin-turbo V6 iForce MAX engine. According to Motor1, the engine should produce 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Tundra might also use a 10-speed automatic gearbox. Internet speculations predict that the Tundra engine will have a hybrid variant later this year.

It is worth noting that two empty slots remain at the bottom of the photo gallery on Toyota's official news page. Both are marked "coming soon." This has led fans to believe that two other major leaks could drop at any time. Fans hope this would be an interior teaser or engine preview.
