INGREDIENTS:
1 filet mignon steak
3 cups (about 1 large) sweet potato diced into 1cm cubes
1 cup sweet onion, diced (½ onion)
1 cup of red bell pepper, diced (1 large pepper)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Season your filet mignon with salt and pepper.
2. Peel the sweet potato with a vegetable peeler and then cut into half-inch cubes.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil on high in a castiron skillet.
4. Cook your filet for roughly three and a half minutes on each side. Let the beef rest.

6. Add the onion and red pepper to the skillet and sautée for one minute.
7. Add the potatoes and arrange in a single layer in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Do not overstir the hash; let it cook uninterrupted for eight minutes or until the bottom starts to brown and slightly char.
9. Using a spatula, carefully flip the hash over in sections. Season the remaining side with salt and pepper.
10. Cook for another eight minutes.
11. Cube the steak and mix it into the hash, or slice and lay it on top.
12. Cook for another minute, then plate and serve.

Food Storage
Recycling/Trash
Utensils + Spice Organization
Lighting
Cooking under the stars is great—but relying on the cosmos for light is not entirely practical. Optional LED lights around the rail of the bed illuminate the entire area, helping you distinguish between salt and cayenne when seasoning what’s on the grill.
Normal camping requires that you carry light, cheap cookware. But with the bed of your Tundra as a kitchen, you can easily bring along quality tools like cast-iron pans, which can be used on both electric stove tops or on a campfire.
Ice and cold packs take up valuable space for keeping perishables cool. But with an electric cooler, which easily plugs into the available power outlet in the bed of the Tundra, you’ll never run out of room.
Polyethylene bins with springs in them pop up to make great recycling and trash bins. They easily hose off and collapse for easy storage.
Utensil organizers help keep everything from forks, knives, spoons, spatulas, and ladles in order. You can even invest in a spice rack that you can hang from your tailgate to make sure your food is properly seasoned while you're cooking.

Essential tools and tips for your next adventure
Rig a tarp
Lay down a carpet
Rig a tarp to protect against the sun and rain
1. Park your truck between two trees.
2. Tie a nylon rope between the trees, making sure it is about ten feet off the ground. (Carry a small ladder so you can tie the rope high enough.)
3. pe a tarp over the rope, covering the bed of the truck.
4. Tie four-inch nylon ropes to the center, left, and right eyelets on either side of the tarp. Tie loops at the ends of the nylon ropes.
5. Pull one side of the tarp over the wheel well, making sure that the tarp extends out over the side of the truck so that any rainwater spills off the tarp over the truck's sides. Then use tent stakes to secure the small ropes in the ground.
6. Repeat on the other side.
There’s no better touch to making a campsite home than adding a piece of carpet—so you can take off your shoes, let your feet air out, and just feel like you’ve made yourself a living room with a world-class view. A six-by-ten section should do the trick, and it’s easy enough to roll up and store in the bed of your truck.
Download a Fitness App: Fitness apps are a great way to see if you’re making progress. Several track the time and speed at which you hike a trail, as well as calories burned, heart rate, and other metrics that come in handy if you’re trying to meet fitness goals. After your hike, you can download your stats onto the Tundra’s available 14-inch touchscreen for review.
Download a Navigation App: Find a navigation app that allows you to download maps for offline use—an important feature when you’re exploring the backcountry without cell service. Many apps offer extensive trail information—such as areas to look out for wildlife and topography—and it tracks the elevation and mileage you’ve racked up. Apps can also help you pinpoint great fishing holes, mountain bike trails, and running routes, and provide detailed information about every twist and turn of the trail. When you're back at the truck, simply lay your phone on the Tundra’s available wireless charger to connect, then download your activity onto your console's 14-inch touchscreen to analyze your route and stats.

The key to pulling off an epic ride? Getting yourself and all your bikes and gear to the trailhead in style. No one knows this better than pro riders and off-road enthusiasts Joey Schusler and Kyle Strait, who are always exploring the remote roads and backcountry areas in search of new trails to ride.

Overheated after your ride? Hop in your Tundra and turn on the available ventilated seats to blow cool air on your back and legs.
Keep Your Cool

Easy Access
With your bikes mounted on your tailgate, you can still easily get in and out of your Tundra’s bed. An available automatic bed step on the driver’s side easily deploys when you select “out” for the automatic running boards, which will also lower the rear step (an optional feature).

Air it Up
Plug your compressor into Tundra’s available in-bed 120V/400-watt outlet to quickly and easily top off your bike’s air pressure before you hit the trail.

A flat tire, gunked-up drivetrain, or dirty bike are all common occurrences on a backcountry trip. But the right tools and know-how can help you maximize time on the trails. Here’s how Tundra owners can keep their bikes operating smoothly.
How to Keep Your Bike Running Smoothly

Hitch-Mounted Rack
This rack (sold separately) slides into the trailer hitch and is secured via a locking pin. The rack can be lowered even when it’s loaded with bikes
Tailgate Pad
Close the tailgate and put a pad (sold separately) over it. The front wheel of the bike goes over the pad, dangling out of the truck. Strap the top tube to secure the bike.
Tundra offers two great options for transporting your ride.

Bike Stand
A bike stand is a big tripod you can mount your ride on for cleaning or making repairs. It’s a major piece of equipment but easily fits in the bed of your Tundra, and you’ll be glad you brought it—even if you’re just lubing your chain.
Portable Electric Rinse Kit
Dirty bikes don’t run well. Hose yours off with an electric rinse kit, which comes in models that hold between three to five gallons of water. Rinse kits run on a battery-powered electric pump, which can be recharged by plugging it into your Tundra’s available outlet. The warm water generated by the rinse kit helps wash away even the stickiest dirt. Bonus: It doubles as a portable shower.
Flat-Tire Repair Kit
With a spare tube, tire levers, a multitool, and an electric
pump, you’ll have everything you need to fix your mountain
bike’s flat tire.
1) Start by releasing your brakes. If you have a quick-release
axle, open and hold the lever while you unscrew the nut on
the opposite side. If there’s a bolt, use your multitool to
release it, and then slide the axle out.
2) Remove the tube by deflating it completely and then pressing on the edge of the tire. You might need to use your tire levers so you can access the tube. If your tire is tubeless, simply remove the tire.
3) Inspect the wheel, tire, and tube for the location and causes of tears or punctures.
4) Replace the tube or add a tube to your tubeless tire. Partially inflate your new tube and then push one edge of it inside the rim. Then, insert the valve stem into the valve hole on the rim and place the rest of the tube inside the tire. Beginning at a point opposite the valve, push the other side of the tire inside the rim, pinching it closed until the tube is completely encased by the tire and both sides of the tire are inside the rim.
5) Plug your electric pump into your Tundra’s available outlet, inflate the tire, and then reinstall.

Sand, Snow, and Mud
1. Be sure to carry steady momentum all the way through sand, snow, and mud. Slowing down too much could cause you to become stuck.
2. In sand and snow, if your wheels start to spin, ease off the gas to let the tires regain traction.
3. In mud, turn off your Auto LSD limited slip rear differential in order to maintain some wheelspin and help clear mud from the drive tire.
Tundra has traction control, an automatic limited slip rear differential, and available Multi-Terrain Select to help prevent wheelspin and assist navigating through the toughest situations. Following these steps will help you even more.

steep obstacles
Rules of the Road
Rocks, Logs, and Ditches
1. Approach obstacles at an angle, so a single tire engages with it initially. The other three tires remain on solid ground, providing the traction.
2. To maintain clearance underneath the truck, set one tire on an obstacle and slowly drive over it. This will help protect the components on the underside of the Tundra.
3. Go slowly. Driving too fast will cause you to lose traction.

How to Climb and descend Steep Obstacles
Hills and Declines
1. Approach a hill straight on, so the Tundra’s weight is equally distributed on all four tires.
2. The 2022 Tundra is equipped with Hill Assist, enabling you to take your foot off the brake without rolling forward or backward.
3. When going downhill, use the lowest gear possible. The engine will help slow the progress of the truck.
1. Attach one bow shackle at one end of the rope to the trailer hitch of your Tundra, then attach the bow hitch at the other end to your friend’s vehicle. Make sure to attach it to something structural.
2. Slowly drive your Tundra forward until there’s no slack in the tow strap.
3. Proceed at a very slow speed until your friend’s vehicle is unstuck.
4. In a pinch, you can use a jack to boost your friend out of a rut.
There’s a good chance you’ll find yourself following a friend who’s driving a less capable truck. Here’s how to tow them out when they get stuck.
Getting Unstuck / Attaching a Tow Rope
Stay in Control
When you’re in the thick of it, the Tundra’s available Multi Terrain Select system helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control. In 4x4 mode, a quick turn of the dial lets you toggle between terrain modes—Mud, Sand, Rock, Mogul (i-FORCE only) or Auto (i-FORCE MAX only). You can easily switch modes in both low and high range.
Featuring BBS forged alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, an off-road suspension with FOX shocks, and a TRD aluminum skid plate—the Tundra TRD Pro doesn't let obstacles get in the way of a good time.

Watercraft fishing gives you unique access to incredible locations inaccessible to larger boats. But getting on the water when the fish are biting can be stressful, especially when the boat ramp is packed in the morning.

How to Have a Successful Day Fishing
Fishing requires a lot of equipment. The last thing you want when you get to the water is to find it in a jumbled heap. Here’s the best way to organize everything.
1. Use a wet box—a big trunk where you can keep your waders, boots, and rain gear. It also gives you a place to toss soaking-wet gear after a day on the water.
2. Use a lock box for more valuable or cherished equipment—rare flies or an extra reel—that could be taken from the back of your truck.
3. Install a cargo bar, a telescoping bar that locks into place in the bed of your truck, keeping your wet box, coolers, and other items from moving around while you’re driving.
If you’re a committed angler, one of the greatest advantages of having a truck at the trailhead is being able to move to a new spot without breaking down your rod. Here’s how to transport everything safely and securely.
For Fly Rods
Use a hard-sided rod box to keep them protected. This device attaches to a rack mounted to the rails of your bed and is so easy to use your kids can easily secure their own rods.

Backing a Trailer Into the Water
If you’re towing a boat, make sure you know how to properly back it into the water.
1. Turn the opposite way you want the boat to go.
2. Make a sharp turn at first to get the boat going in the right direction, then make minor adjustments. (Beginner drivers can be too timid and the boat doesn’t change direction until it’s too late.)
3. Stop just before the trailer enters the water to double-check that the plugs are in and the keys are in the ignition.
4. Finish backing into the water, unlatch the front hook, and back the boat off the trailer.

For Spinning Rods
1. Place your rod in the bed of your Tundra against one side of the bed. The reel end of the rod should face the cab.
2. Connect one end of a small bungee to a utility hook on the side of the truck bed.
3. Wrap the cord around the rods, then secure the other end to the utility hook.
4. Clip the tips of each rod into a cord organizer to keep them together and prevent them from clanging into one another.
Washing and Desalting Your Gear
Extend the life of your watersports gear, especially the gear that gets exposed to saltwater, by giving it all—watercraft, fishing gear, life vests—a good rinse in fresh water as soon as you are done recreating.

Experienced watermen Damien LeRoy and Brandon Scheid show us how to safely enjoy watersports. It all starts before you even get out on the water: hauling and transporting your equipment.
Fun on the Water Starts with Getting Your Gear There

Never Fear Heavy Gear
Don’t worry about tossing big and bulky gear in the back of your truck. Tundra’s reinforced bed is made of an ultra-durable Sheet-Molded Composite surface that has greater impact strength than aluminum.

‘Tow’ the Line
Don’t crane your neck trying to guide your boat as you back up. Using sensors and cameras, Tundra’s Driver Assistance Technology and Straight Path Assist (both optional) help keep your trailer aligned.

Like most outdoor activities, watersports are the safest when you have a buddy tagging along. Plan your outings just like you would a hike or a backcountry ski day—look at weather forecasts and wind patterns before heading out and stick close enough together on the water so that you could help your buddy in an emergency.

Safety Gear for On-the-Water Action Sports

With an optional longer truck bed, like that in the new 2022 Tundra, there are easy ways to lash a kayak into the rear and make sure it’s safe and secure using a handy knot.
Master the Automatic Trucker’s Hitch
1. Create a loop in the line of your rope and hold that loop where the rope crosses itself. With your free hand, feed some rope from behind the crossing through the loop.
2. Tug on the side of the second loop.
3. Anchor the free end of your line by passing it around a sturdy object.
4. Pass the free end through the loop you created, then pass it through again. This creates a small coil that locks on itself.
5. Finish the knot by pulling the free end taut, increasing tension as needed. Secure the free end loosely to the line or the anchor point. To undo, feed the free end back through the loop in the opposite direction.

Types of Watersport Helmets
1. Half-cut helmets: These helmets are built for more mellow watersports that still require protection.
2. Full-cut helmets: For whitewater situations, get more protection (including over-the-ear protection) with a full-cut helmet. Some helmets offer ear inserts for a convertible helmet option.
3. Full-face helmets: Extreme sports call for extreme protection. A full-face watersport helmet is built for the ultimate adventures in whitewater.
Impact Vest vs. Life Vest
The U.S. Coastguard has different regulations for life vests (or life jackets) compared to impact vests. Know the difference so you can make an informed safety decision.
1. Impact Vests: Built to protect your core, especially ribs and sternum, from the force of water on a fall, impact vests are a good option for high-impact watersports. These vests may provide some flotation, but are not required to pass Coast Guard regulations.
2. Life Vests: Alternatively, life vests are Coast Guard Approved (CGA) floatation devices designed to effectively rotate your body to ensure your face is out of the water. Although life vests are sometimes more cumbersome, they are the safer option.

When you’re in the thick of it, the Tundra’s available Multi Terrain Select system helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control. In 4x4 mode, a quick turn of the dial lets you toggle between terrain modes—Mud, Sand, Rock, Mogul (i-FORCE only) or Auto (i-FORCE MAX only). You can easily switch modes in both low and high range.

There’s a good chance you’ll find yourself following a friend who’s driving a less capable truck. Here’s how to tow them out when they get stuck.
1. Attach one bow shackle at one end of the rope to the trailer hitch of your Tundra, then attach the bow hitch at the other end to your friend’s vehicle. Make sure to attach it to something structural.
2. Slowly drive your Tundra forward until there’s no slack in the tow strap.
3. Proceed at a very slow speed until your friend’s vehicle is unstuck.
4. In a pinch, you can use a jack to boost your friend out of a rut.

How to Climb and descend Steep Obstacles
Rocks, logs, and ditches
1. Approach obstacles at an angle, so a single tire engages with it initially. The other three tires remain on solid ground, providing the traction.
2. To maintain clearance underneath the truck, set one tire on an obstacle and slowly drive over it. This will help protect the components on the underside of the Tundra.
3. Go slowly. Driving too fast will cause you to lose traction.
Hills and Declines
1. Approach a hill straight on, so the Tundra’s weight is equally distributed on all four tires.
2. The 2022 Tundra is equipped with Hill Assist, enabling you to take your foot off the brake without rolling forward or backward.
3. When going downhill, use the lowest gear possible. The engine will help slow the progress of the truck.
close
Tundra has traction control, an automatic limited slip rear differential, and available Multi-Terrain Select to help prevent wheelspin and assist navigating through the toughest situations. Following these steps will help you even more.
Sand, snow, and mud
1. Be sure to carry steady momentum all the way through sand, snow, and mud. Slowing down too much could cause you to become stuck.
2. In sand and snow, if your wheels start to spin, ease off the gas to let the tires regain traction.
3. In mud, turn off your Auto LSD limited slip rear differential in order to maintain some wheelspin and help clear mud from the drive tire.
