"The all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra has been years in the making and you only get one chance to make a first impression," said Lisa Materazzo, group vice president, Toyota Marketing, Toyota Motor North America. "It's only fitting that we launch the all-new Tundra, our biggest U.S. campaign launch ever, alongside this caliber of star power on the world's largest advertising stage."
The 60-second ad, which premiered at the start of the Toyota Halftime Report, opens with two all-new Tundras racing through the countryside on an off-road expedition. The drivers are revealed to be none other than Tommy Lee Jones and Leslie Jones. Suddenly, another all-new Tundra pulls out of nowhere – it's Rashida Jones – overtaking them as the three barrel through the mud, snow and mountains in a heart-pounding rivalry. They peer over at each other, a glint of challenge in their eyes as a fourth Tundra joins the group – all perplexed as to who it could be. The truck pulls up revealing Nick Jonas behind the wheel. With the group's reluctant approval, Nick joins in as the voice-over reads "stay ahead in the all-new Tundra."
"The Joneses" was created by Toyota's agency of record, Saatchi & Saatchi, and directed by veteran filmmaker Bryan Buckley.
"I've directed many Big Game commercials," said two-time Academy Award nominated director Bryan Buckley. "Each shoot brings its own excitement, but the star power of the actors and the all-new 2022 Toyota Tundra took it to an epic level."
Viewers who tuned into the Big Game on Telemundo were treated to "Born to Lend a Hand" at the start of the Toyota Halftime Report, a 60-second spot featuring the all-new Tundra created by Conill Advertising and directed by Nicolai Fuglsig.
Toyota's previously-released Big Game 60-second spot "Brothers" shares an inspiring message of determination and spotlights the power of sport by profiling real-life brothers, Brian and Robin McKeever.
