Toyota to auction 2022 Tundra Capstone
The next generation of Toyota Tundra only went on sale last month, but already the demand for the all-new 2022 truck is strong. Just recently, the all-new luxurious Capstone grade was announced just a few months ahead of the on-sale date for the hybrid-powered Tundra models. With all the exciting truck news, Toyota is auctioning two of the first i-FORCE MAX Tundras at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona, with all proceeds going to the Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund, a first-of-its-kind program launched by the company in an effort to further support Team USA’s Paralympic athletes as they pursue their sport dreams.
This coming weekend, Toyota will auction a Tundra Capstone with VIN 001 and a Toyota TRD Pro VIN 002. These will be two of the first i-FORCE MAX hybrid models assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing San Antonio.
One hundred percent of the hammer price from both 2022 Tundras will go to benefit the Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund. This fund directly impacts the lives of eligible U.S. Paralympic athletes aiming to compete at the Paralympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 and those who competed at the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020. To date, more than 430 U.S. Paralympic athletes and hopefuls have received direct support from the more than $3.7 million raised for the Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund, with contributions from across the country, including from Toyota dealerships. Individuals can also make additional donations here.
“In celebration of 50 years of the world’s greatest collector car auctions, we are excited to bring two 2022 Toyota Tundras to this year’s Barrett-Jackson Auction 2022 Scottsdale,” said David Christ, Group Vice President and General Manager, Toyota Division, Toyota Motor North America. “Given the anticipation for the best full-sized truck on the market (our all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra), we’re looking forward to two exciting auctions that will benefit the Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund in hopes to continue to drive more awareness for all Paralympic athletes and the Paralympic Games.”
Two Special Tundras, One Special Cause
The all-new Tundra Capstone was just announced two weeks ago, and it serves as the flagship grade for the Tundra lineup. TRD Pro, of course, is no stranger to many and is really a legitimate, next-level off-road truck ready for the trails from the start.
The 2022 Tundra TRD Pro is built on a CrewMax 4×4. The auction, Lot #3005, will cross the world-famous Barrett-Jackson auction block on Friday, January 28, at approximately 6:30 p.m. MST. It will feature VIN 002 and will be one of the first two Toyota Tundra hybrid pickups to be sold in North America.
