2022 Toyota Tundra: What do you think of the TRD Pro's unique design?



I walked away thinking that there are a lot of interesting design details worth discussing after spending a day with the all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra. There’s the massive grille with a chromed-out mustache-shaped highlight on some trim levels. Then there are the lighting elements that look like they’ve been pulled taught in several different dimensions, sort of like toffee that’s being stretched in a candy shop. There are blacked-out A- and B-pillars that give the roof a sort of helmet-shaped look.

But, in my opinion, the most controversial styling element is found solely on the TRD Pro edition. Where other trim levels of the new Tundra get body-color or black plastic trim in places like the wheel arches and tailgate in either matte or shiny finish, the TRD Pro gets a unique finish with molded-in detail that, for lack of an official term, I’m calling “urban camo.” The pattern is mimicked inside, with leather seating surfaces dyed and pressed with a matching look. I saw the leather in both black and red, and I’m not sure if any other colors are in the works.
