Toyota raised more than $1.2 million which is more than 4.5 million Saudi riyals, at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Auction by selling off two of the first production 2022 Tundras. Two pickups have been sold with high raises, which are the Tundra Capstone with VIN 001 sold for $700,000 ( 2.6 Million SAR), while the Tundra TRD Pro with VIN 002 went for $550,000 ( 2 Million SAR).
Both trucks are powered with the new i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, which combines a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor to provide 437 horsepower and 790 Nm of torque.
The funds raised will support the Toyota U.S. Paralympic Fund, which was launched by the corporation to assist Team USA Paralympic athletes.

Tundras that won at auction will be delivered to their owners in the spring. In addition to that, auction winners will get a trip for two to Park City, Utah, hosted by Toyota, to cheer on Team USA athletes going to the Paralympic Winter Games.
Besides that, the winning bidder will receive an exclusive framed print of the original Tundra styling sketches from Calty (Toyota’s North American design studio), signed by Calty President, Kevin Hunter, and Tundra exterior designers, and a sign on the Tundra engine cover by chief engineer Mike Sweers.
“I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would help Toyota auction off a Tundra for $550,000!” Said Kaitlyn Verfuerth, a paralympic athlete who joined Toyota on the auction floor for both sales. She added: “This type of support is life-changing, and I cannot thank Toyota enough for helping me go more places than I’ve ever imagined.”
