By Erica Mueller Published: 2022-07-20T14:04:20+00:00 Updated: 2026-08-19T16:00:30+00:00 ![Featured image]() In this long video, Publisher Tim Esterdahl and his friend compare their new Tundras. His friend has a 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 and [Esterdahl owns a Limited](). They’ve each put a little more than 5,000 miles on their trucks, so they’ve had some time to get to know them. They share what they love about them [in this video]() as well as the little things that bug them. ### **Yes, the Limited really is $12,000 more** Of course, this bump in price gets you things like heated-and-cooled power seats, a larger multimedia screen and nicer materials all around, but it seems like most of the additions are cosmetic. Things like color-matching mirrors and chrome accents don’t really add to your ride quality. But other things like the power-adjustable seats and nicer headlights do make a difference, as do power folding mirrors. Esterdahl’s friend is obviously disappointed he didn’t get the power seats, and it seems like they are both unimpressed by the lack of seat-back pockets in the SR5 as well as the smaller fuel tank. But he only paid $45,700 for his truck, whereas Esterdahl paid more like $61k for a Limited. ### **Check out that bed length!** One of the things we dislike about modern pickup trucks is the beds seem to have shrunk to make more room for the cabs. Legroom is awesome, but a 6.5-foot bed feels really small when you’re trying to load lumber. The 8-foot bed on the 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 in this video just looks enormous in comparison. ### **Grab a coffee and comfy seat for this 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 and Limited comparison** This is [one long video](), but it’s full of good stuff and we know that anyone shopping for a Tundra will appreciate the information in this video.
