ALL-NEW 2022 TOYOTA TUNDRA IS READY TO ROCK THE FULL-SIZE SEGMENT THE all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra may be born from a rich history of global trucks and SUVs, but the third generation of its namesake is ready to make a big impression on the North American full-size truck segment. The all-new Tundra will offer two impressive new powertrains: a twin-turbo V-6 engine and an iFORCE MAX hybrid twin-turbo V-6. Mated to both engines will be a 10-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence. Standard on TRD Pro models and available on 4×4 trucks equipped with the TRD Off-Road package are a slew of off-road upgrades that enhance off-pavement exploration, but the most noteworthy change to handling and performance is the new multi-link rear suspension, which ditches leaf springs in favor…

FATHERS AND SONS SHARE MANY TYPES OF HOBBIES, BUT FEW CAN BRING THEM TOGETHER (OR SEND THEM INTO COMPLETELY OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS) LIKE THE WORLD OF CUSTOM CARS. “TO GET THE WHEELS SPINNING AND PUT THE SUSPENSION INTO MOTION, JAMES TREATED THE GMC TO A 2009 630-HP BLOWN LS1 ENGINE BUILT BY REX HUTCHISON RACING IN SACRAMENTO. YEAH, IT WAS A BIT OF A SPLURGE, BUT NOTHING WAS TOO GOOD FOR DAD’S OLD PICKUP.” James Connerley’s father was the first owner of this ’65 GMC pickup, and his number one priority was to always keep it well maintained and on the road. While James’ dad didn’t do much in the way of customization throughout the years, the care he gave his truck left it in good enough condition for James to…

ALOVE FOR CUSTOM VEHICLES, SPECIFICALLY MINI-TRUCKS, IS SOMETHING MARCUS GIBBER OF KELLYVILLE, CALIFORNIA PICKED UP ON AT A VERY EARLY AGE. “WHAT STARTED OUT AS A JOKE ENDED UP BEING A COMPLETELY CUSTOM TRUCK THAT MARCUS LOVES TO DRIVE. WINDOWS DOWN, MUSIC UP AND DEADBODY SKATIN’ THE GROUND IS PERFECTION TO MARCUS.” “I grew up in the mini-truckin world,” Marcus says. “My pops always had something or was building something. The one truck that really got me was his John Deere green 1992 Chevy long cab. It was bagged and bodied on 18/20 KMCs. It just amazed me how you could take something basic and make it completely your own.” Since Marcus was surrounded by custom trucks growing up, he has seen tons of builds from start to finish. “I…
