Looks very similar to the current 4RUNNER to me. Also kind of reminds me of the GMC HD. I’m personally not a fan of Toyota but I don’t think it is terrible. I’m sure they will sell pretty much everything they can build. Just like the do with the tired old current generation.

That's because the mfgs tried the Canadian Pickup Design Bureau once and they got Bob n Doug MacKenzie as lead designers!

I think the last gen Tundra has been a good truck, and I've got no real issues with the way this one looks. I'm sure it'll sell well. I do wish Toyota would make a genuine HD truck but I don't see them trying to make that leap. As half tons go I'm sure this will be a nice truck, though.
There are only so many ways to style a pickup. You can be innovative like Tesla and design a visual turd, or you can do what everybody else does and apply lipstick to the same basic shape.

Well what can we expect? It's a truck! They are all ugly!
Now is it going to get better mileage? Updated and interior? Will it be as reliable?
You want beauty get a Corvette.

Same engine going into land cruiser. It must be reliable but going turbo so that will be tough.

No allegiance here (I don't even own a truck), but saying they're all ugly must be coming from a person who's not seen the new Ram trucks.
As for beauty, a new Corvette? Seriously? I must be missing something, but to each his own.

Last I checked the Tundra's didn't even have a heated steering wheel. Their designers must have eaten a seriously bad bowl of ugly. Thing looks like a transformer that had a glitch. Looks aren't everything, but that puts that truck off my future list.
