While at the dealership for repairs on his 6-day old Tundra, publisher Tim Esterdahl had the chance to check out the truck’s undercarriage to see how it is holding up as well as if there is any rust on the truck. If you are shopping for a 2022 Tundra, check out this 2022 Tundra rust report video.
I think one of my favorite things about Esterdahl’s video is that he goes over every inch of the underside of his new truck, giving us a view that not many people ever see. I mean, unless you’re in the plant or you’re a mechanic, you’re not likely to get to walk around under your truck and see all of this!
We’ve got to start with the rust report because we all know how crazy things got when Esterdahl found rust under his new F-150 last year — after just two months of ownership. This discovery sent us on a crazy mission to find out which new trucks have rust and how to prevent undercarriage rust.
With the truck up on a lift, Esterdahl is able to walk around and thoroughly check the 2022 Tundra for any signs of rust. He’s also able to report that the areas that usually see rust first are well-coated and protected, which makes him smile. The only rust to report is some light surface rust on the muffler, but that is totally normal and to be expected due to the type of metal used.
Since he had such a great view, Esterdahl took the opportunity to check over everything and answer a few questions from potential customers.
These are just a few of the many things Esterdahl covers, so be sure to watch the video to see if your questions have been answered. If they haven’t, drop them in the comments below!
