Reliability verdict for the 2022 Toyota Tundra

With a 69/100 score against a 63/100 segment average, the 2022 Toyota Tundra lands slightly above the class norm. That points to moderate reliability rather than standout durability, with buyer risk lower than average but not low. The first-year, new-generation context aligns with a profile that isn’t fully settled yet.

Issue reports cluster heavily around core mechanical systems. Powertrain and engine-related categories dominate, and additional engine/cooling and fuel/propulsion entries reinforce that the main concerns are concentrated in how the truck runs and delivers power rather than being spread evenly across many unrelated areas.

Recall activity is elevated, which increases overall uncertainty even with an above-average score. Overall risk level: moderate.
