  • Résumé

  • Toyota is guided by a concept called kaizen—constant improvement. But constant improvement is also a relentless challenge. The Tundra Files tells the story of Toyota’s high stakes redesign of its full-size truck—the Toyota Tundra. This was a truck already lasting drivers more than a million miles. Where do you go from there? Through interviews with engineers, designers, and fellow Toyota enthusiasts, host Nick Heil looks at the unique problem of reinventing a truck that was already exceeding expectations. When you make the world’s most reliable vehicles, how do you make them better?

      Episode Six: No Limits
      Sep 7 2022
      Most pickups are capable of working hard. Where the Tundra sets itself apart is that Tundra drivers are often playing just as hard as they work. Whether it’s getting to a campsite, a fishing spot, or a remote trailhead, the Tundra’s suite of off-road technology is designed to get you there and back every time. In this episode we’ll zero in on the model custom-tailored to the off-road enthusiast—the TRD Pro—and look at how the suspension and performance system was developed, as well as how it trickles over to other Tundra models. Along the way, we’ll discuss what’s new and unique on the 2022 Tundra, how off-roading has evolved over the decades, and how the Tundra redesign speaks to those trends. In the end, we’ll show why this vehicle is the perfect blend between tool and toy.

      Episode Five: Inside the Tundra
      Aug 25 2022
      For anyone who both manages paperwork and hauls plywood, the interior design and available technology of their truck has become paramount. It has to be a cross between a mobile office and a living room. Luckily, the new Tundra is the most practical and most comfortable version yet. In this episode we’ll talk to the team who designed the inside of the truck, highlighting the choices that make the interior a place you want to spend time, as well as look at what went into developing the ultra-modern technological features like remote start via the Tundra smartphone app, wireless charging, and the all-new infotainment system.

      Episode Four: An Athletic Exterior
      Aug 3 2022
      The exterior of the new Tundra was designed around the phrase “technical muscle.” You can see it in the oversize grille, the squared off corners, and the big, bold lettering on the tailgate. Where previous generations of the Tundra had their edges softened, this truck looks chiseled. But sharp corners generally make aerodynamics—and by extension, fuel efficiency—something of a nightmare. In this episode we'll talk about how the team approached the challenge of designing an exterior from scratch, the overall direction of truck design, and highlight the extremely clever Active Aero features that allow a square truck to slice through the air—and makes Tundra look like nothing else on the market.
