Finally! The one feature I wish my Tundra had. This is already on the F-150 and the RAM. I assume the Silverado too but I haven't checked. It's about time.

Interesting, I love big sunroofs. Not a Land Cruiser thread but I have not seen a LC300 with a pano roof yet, just regular moonroof. So it’s interesting the Tundra gets it but LC apparently not.

Is there an embargo or whatever? When do get a first drive review???

Not a fan of sunroofs/moon-roofs/panos on a truck, or any vehicle, but it is hard to find an upscale vehicle without one. Sunroofs are just one more thing to fail, and they lessen the integrity of the body, especially on trucks which are prone to roll-over crashes. So, a larger, pano sunroof is not a selling point in my book. Manufacturers can address the integrity issue with more steel in the roof and supports, but this adds weight to the top of the truck, making it even more prone to roll-over, not to mention less fuel efficient.

I know a lot of people love sunroofs, so, all I ask is to have the option to not have one in the mid-to-high trim levels.

They teasing sunroofs now?! Let me go put a deposit down immediately. Lol.

Toyota already acknowledged that the whole truck was leaked a month ago. Skip all this nonsense and put out a press release.

The panoramic roof looks nice. Does the current Tundra have a moonroof? It’s been a while since I’ve been in one?

Those headrests look trendy and quite plush even. Note the matching red seatbelts. Nice.

They have a moonroof, but not a panoramic roof. They are making this silly crap sound like it’s a big deal & it’s completely silly. I really don’t want a panoramic sunroof in the hot, southwest sun. I keep the shade closed on my moonroof in the summer, but you can’t block out a panoramic roof. Toyota is just trying to polish a turd & add lipstick

As was said before, all the half tons do. The last gen F150 did also, as did the last gen GM Trucks. So like I said, a feature their competition had 2 generations ago.

Next they'll advertise their LED lighting lol

I don’t really care. The new Land Cruiser is a huge let down and this will be the same too IMO. The new Tundra won’t do well for sales. About the same as the current gen. Hopefully this time they’ll put in a fully boxed frame unlike the current c channel which is inferior. I also don’t get the point in getting caught up in the pano roof or that silly rear window that rolls down. I can’t stand pano roofs anyways…

We spent the week boating the lakes with a couple. They have the RAM 1500 classic, the current Tundra doesn’t come close to that RAM and I now know why. Full disclosure the RAM had the typical Chrysler Corp crappy reliability as we had a drained battery at one point and once we got the boost the radio went good bye.

If an LS could efficiently pull a trailer up to 5,000 lbs, I would have zero need for a Tundra or any other truck.

I had a gorgeous Ram, but I sincerely hope it went straight to the crusher (which I doubt) after my case was settled. That truck would have burned to the ground, even if it had Tundra drive train - Constant electrical issues amongst many other issues. I notice my friend’s Tundra has little interior issues, like loose door panels, smashed seat foam & rattles. Sadly, it’s rated the best of all trucks by Consumer Reports.
