Toyota Wants to Lift Your Tundra With New TRD Kit
Toyota Wants to Lift Your Tundra With New TRD Kit-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:20

2022 Toyota Tundra with lift kit in red.

OEM are great. First, they’re usually covered under a warranty (although read the fine print like “as long as it’s dealer installed). You also don’t have to worry about the risk of voiding your vehicle warranty. Plus, you can get them installed at a dealer, which again, helps with the warranty. And with the recent explosion of enthusiast vehicles coming to market, automakers have been giving those customers a way to get exactly what they want. Toyota, who’s typically great with mod availability, just dropped a new lift kit from TRD for the .

The lift kit, developed by TRD, is unique in that Toyota says it was engineered to work in conjunction with Toyota’s safety suite: Toyota Safety Sense. Without the development, the system could get confused with the higher center of gravity.

The lift kit has everything you would expect it to need, like red coil springs tuned by TRD, Bilstein monotube shocks, and upper control arms sourced from Roush Performance out of Detroit. In all, there are 11 unique parts in the kit:

Together, the kit raises the Tundra 2.6 inches (but Toyota likes to call it a three-inch lift, for marketing). This is a two-inch lift, with leveling. If that’s not impressive enough — the kit also helps with off-road performance. The Tundra’s approach and departure angles increase, with the approach angle increasing five degrees from 21.0 to 26.0; the departure angle increasing just one degree from 24.0 to 25.0.

If you’ve got a 2022 model year or newer Tundra, and want to lift it, you can contact your local Toyota dealer, as that’s the only place the kit can be installed. Excluding installation and labor, the kit costs $3,995 and comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. But that warranty only applies if the kit is installed before or at the time of the sale of the vehicle. If you purchase the kit after you purchased your new Tundra, the warranty coverage drops to just 12 months.

But wait. The kit isn’t available on every 2022 or newer Tundra model. It’s only available for those models with the iForce or iForce-Max engines, four-wheel drive, and the 5.5 or 6.5-foot beds. That means no TRD Pro, TRD Sport, or Tundras that come equipped with the optional Adaptive Variable Suspension or air suspension setups.

The Best And Worst Cars I've Driven This Year
I’ve been writing for Jalopnik since September 2011, but only this year were my superiors dumb enough to let me drive a number of cars that weren’t mine. So now I’ve driven everything from a 662 horsepower pony car to a 74 horsepower hatchback, and like my coworkers , ,...

Today's Corvette gives you more top options than a Bras Я Us, and it has a four-speed to boot. Will its price however top your list of this week's deals? Geez, speaking of this week, it's been like the Crackocalypse so far with nothing even coming close to passing muster....

You have a tall gangly son. He's a good kid and, despite having the height of a jr. high Yao Ming, he doesn't seem particularly athletic. You picture a a future Debate Club presidency but then he starts running cross country. He's got a mean sprint, for sure, but he...

The color of today's Mazda RX-7 is Havana Brown, and like the legend of Santa Claus, it's quite the survivor. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it'll survive our judgment of its pricing. Whoa, doggies, I did not see yesterday's pulling in such a decisive 70% Nice Price win, but...

They say birds of a feather flock together and if that's the case then today's T-bird's twin turbos could be considered flocking awesome. You'll need to decide however, if its price is totally bird brained. We don't have the Thunderbird to kick around any more. The last of the new...

This has been a banner year. Four Lamborghinis. Four Porsches. Three Corvettes. Two Aston Martins. Two Ferraris. A Viper. And the most spectacular Miata you can imagine. I never want to wake up from this coma that I'm clearly in. One of my main duties here at Jalopnik is to...
