I just saw the 2022 tundra and I hate it. The design stinks IMO. I think the interior is nice and I'm sure the new drive train will be solid from a reliability standpoint but I feel like they dropped the ball big time on the exterior. I actually cancelled my allocation and got my deposit back.
Even with this refresh, I still don't think Toyota is up to par with the big 3 and an additional 3-4 mpg from the 2021 isnt enough to warrant a replacement at over $10k more than last years model. Easy Pass.
I am disappointed as I really wanted to be an early adopter with this. Gas mileage isnt really a concern or I wouldnt buy a truck. I actually have a lightning and CT reserved and I will drive my 2015 tundra until then then make a decision.
I did however look at and drive a new maverick. Ford did an excellent job on that and for 20-30k you can beat it. I want another full size but the maverick checks a lot of boxes for the every day driver whos like the utility
The Tundra may determine who wins the race this year.

The automotive sales race in the US is heating up, and there's a chance that General Motors might not be the country's full-year sales leader when the calendar turns over to January 2022. It would be the first time in 90 years for The General not to have the crown, and Toyota might become the new king.
As of the third quarter of 2021, Toyota Motor North America moved 1,857,884 vehicles for the year so far. In comparison, GM delivered 1,777,483 in the same period. While 80,401 cars isn't a massive lead, it gives Toyota an edge going into the final months of the year.
..
It'll be an interesting race to the finish, especially since Toyota will have the first units of the new Tundra on the market before the end of the year. With decades of experience, not count GM out of this fight just yet.
Since they now have almost identical operating costs the 50% additional towing capacity plus an extra 250 lbs of payload makes the Tundra worth the extra $8000 for people who want more capacity.
$27,715 2022 Toyota Tacoma 2WD- tow up to 6,800 pounds | Payload Capacity 1685 pounds
$35,950 2022 Toyota Tundra SR DC 6.5ft-bed 2WD - tow up to 10,200 pounds | Payload Capacity 1940 pounds
Toyota sells 1/10 of the trucks Ford sells in the USA.
That's a bit of an exagerration. So far this year Toyota truck sales are at 37% Ford sales. It is true that TUNDRA sales are 12.2% of F-SERIES sales. Is that what you mean?

I don't think Toyota has any illusions about Tundra sales (109,283 in 2020 and 111,673 in 2019) beating the sales of the F-150 (787,422 in 2020 and 896,526 in 2019). They are just trying to get a bigger piece of the pie.
They are going to have to make a better looking truck.
