Toyota’s All-New 2022 Tundra is “Born For This”

The All-New Tundra Campaign is Toyota’s Largest U.S. Launch To Date

The campaign showcases a unified style across all creative throughout the T2 agency broadcast spots, which are highlighted below:

In the spots created by Saatchi & Saatchi and directed by Antoine Bardou Jacquet, “Born For The Wild” features friends and families happily escaping to the outdoors for a fun off-road excursion, mountain drive and beach cruise, as they enjoy the power, presence and capability of their all-new Tundra. In “Born For Bringing It,” the all-new Tundra gives drivers the confidence and independence they need to chase any adventure. Digital spots include “Signposts,” “Mud Bath,” “No Hands,” “Rattlesnakes,” “Songs of the City,” “Yurt Feelings,” and “Private Planetarium.” Additionally, a 30-second version of “The Joneses,” which debuted yesterday during the Big Game on NBC, will run throughout the campaign flight. The spot was directed by acclaimed director Bryan Buckley.

In “Cappuccino,” the television spot created by Burrell Communications and directed by The Malloys, a highly stylish group of friends meet for coffee, but one friend pulls up in the all-new Tundra Capstone and out-styles them all. Also part of the campaign is a series of digital spots titled “Kings,” “Crosswalk,” “Stepping Out,” “Taste,” “Bling,” “Drama,” and “Reveal.”

The centerpiece of the creative from Conill Advertising, “Born to Lend a Hand,” (which debuted yesterday during the Big Game on Telemundo) demonstrates how the all-new Tundra can be depended on in a variety of situations, creating a bond of trust between driver and truck. Two digital commercials, “There” and “Family Business,” highlight the all-new Tundra’s panoramic moonroof and increased towing capabilities, respectively. The spots were directed by Nicolai Fuglsig.

Intertrend created two spots directed by Paul Santana that demonstrate how the all-new Tundra symbolizes the driver’s free spirit and authentic identity. In “Born for Unswayed Confidence,” a couple use the all-new Tundra to express their true selves while not being bound by the notion of ‘saving face.’ In “Born for Your True Self,” while a mother humbly brags about why her son is so great, the hero demonstrates each characteristic in an unexpected way with the help of the all-new Tundra. Digital spots include “Born for Defiance” and “Born for Convenience.”
