The Toyota Tundra will share its engine options with the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser.

A closer look reveals three embossed sections on the left side of the engine cover. This could be a way of saying that there are three cylinders per bank, meaning the motor under the hood is a V6. The 2022 Tundra will also be offered with a second powertrain option, but Toyota isn't sharing any details about it yet. Going by rumours, it's a hybrid or plug-in hybrid variant of the twin-turbo V6 engine. The 2022 Tundra is underpinned by Toyota's new TGNA-F platform. The company engineered it to be able to support electrified powertrains and that backs up the rumours about the electrified powertrain.
