First new Tundra bought for $700,000

However, the first production 2022 Toyota Tundra Capstone crossed the block over the weekend for $700,000.


As Toyota's new flagship pickup the Capstone is luxurious, with its Lexus LS-quality leather and walnut trim, but we don't know that it's worth the price of a Rolls Royce Phantom and Lamborghini Huracan Evo. Of course, the price was bolstered by the fact that every cent goes to the Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund that benefits athletes with disabilities. The owner also gets bragging rights for owning a Tundra Capstone with a VIN ending in 001, meaning it's the first production Tundra Capstone to roll out of Toyota's San Antonio, Texas, plant. Also, neither the Bentley nor Lambo can tow a 10,340-pound trailer or haul a refrigerator, so there's that.

At the same auction, an orange 2022 Tundra TRD Pro sold for $550,000 with money going to the same fund. On this truck the VIN ends in  002, which simply isn't as cool (though there's no word on where VIN 001 went). That's a total of 1.25 million going towards Paralympic athletes.
