No offense, but most people who by trucks don't need all that garbage. With full size trucks in the 100k range, a simple, affordable, reliable truck, would sell a ton. I don't understand the manufacturers trying to offer foot massagers, big screen tv's, ear cleaners and jacking the price to 150k for a truck that will most likely break down before it hits the end of the warranty period. This isn't just Toyota, it's all the manufacturers trying to upsell their vehicles with gimmicky features, while the quality of the interior and reliability take massive nose dives.
Don't understand your complaint. There are different trim levels for all trucks. People aren't buying large luxury sedans for $80-100k anymore. They are turning to SUVs and trucks instead to drop that money. They want all the creature comforts like the sedans. Why not offer it to them?
Personally I prefer a higher trim. I use my truck for business and spend considerable time in it. My peers drive Mercedes, Lexus, BMW SUVs. My high trim truck is practical and modest in comparison.
@@jc6618 I don’t know why it’s hard to believe a company that has always had a reputation for reliability would want to fix a reliability (manufacturing) issue
I own a 2024 Tundra CrewMax 4x4 Hybrid Platinum - Toyota isn't a serious truck company. They either leave critical items off like tow hooks because they are ignorant or just don't care what their customers want/need - beginning to think both.
Looking at the prices many models increased nearly $2K. These car companies are going to have some MASSIVE regret very very soon. The tumble has started at it will only get MUCH MUCH worse. In the end MSRP won't drive prices, the consumer will, and they slowly having an impact.
If they didn’t care about the issues with my 2022 tundra, why should I care about a 2025? My resale value has dropped like a rock so I couldn’t afford to trade even if I wanted to.
Hi Mark! I’m super excited for the 2025 Tundra!! I am very happy for the front massaging seats, power tailgate, and bilstein shocks! I am excited to feel a smooth ride! Thanks
I still think it's a pretty good looking truck UNTIL I look at the front....the front grill kills it for me.... I'll definitely still be keeping my 2017 for as long as possible....not to mention the twin turbo V6.... I'm waiting and wanting to hear about the V6 turbo racking up 500,000+ miles without any major problems...
It so funny to see people “jazzed” about this twin turbo 💩engine! Towing heavy trailers, boats etc are out the window. The reliability is just not there. Boo on Toyota for not having a diesel option..like in the EU! I know all the yuppy boys are screaming with excitement!
I just don't understand why Toyota does not offer full-time 4WD in the Tundra. This option has always been available in the Tacoma and 4Runner, but for some reason, it has never been offered in the Tundra.
Considering getting a full size truck. Was leaning toward an F150 after the Tundra bearing debacle. In 2025 did they address this? Have a Tacoma currently. Would like to stick with Toyota but lately not so sure.
Hi Mark. Get a 25. I think there will be deals on 25s to. They want to sell any truck they can. Negotiate that you will want a 25 as you are concerned about the engine recall.
Overall, it's pretty good updates. My wish list: bring back Army Green color, add Undeground color to Tundra lineup, add tow hooks standard, would be nice to add 2500 and 3500 sized models though i know that would be a big change
I think the Rally package is pretty cool. I was really hoping for Underground and Bronze Oxide availability though... I'll be curious to see how Terra looks on regular trims. I suspect it will be similar to Solar Octane in 24 - so rare you never see any on lots or driving around.
I had a 2023 Sequoia Platinum and the 1794 Trim is something that sounds great. But will wait until the 2026 Sequoia comes out so they can work out the engine issues and refine the vehicle. I will enjoy my solid 2024 4Runner until then.
@@kevinvcourt Well the 1794 Trim is new and the engine issue should be solved with any revision also made to the new models. So by 2026 release of the Sequoia next year things will have improved. The only thing on wish list would be full-time 4WD, but I don’t see it happening any time soon.
Mark the package I'm looking forward to for 2025 is the trd rally. If they keep the price right on these (including discounts and rebates plus 0% finance/lease specials) Toyota will have a hard time keeping these on their lots. The trd rally package looks promising honestly.
I will say Mark. With the 25's coming out your offer on the 1794 should look good. If they don't take your offer shortly. I would shoot for a 25. You now have about 5-6k in depreciation as soon as you drive that 24 off the lot. Ps. There better not be any price increases for 25...
Did you say power front seats standard on SR5? Probably what I like least about my 24 is the front seats. No facia redesign, maybe we’ll see the sequoia front end in 2026.
However little these new features and visuals may be, they were likely in the works when the 3rd gen launched. What Toyota could do is tell the marketing folks to down play these updates until the TTv6 recall has begun replacing engines. Anything else is just a slap in the face. I have a 2022 Tundra 1794 w/ Long bed and auto leveling suspension. It’s a nice truck but so much should have been done better. The attention to detail is not what it should be. I am fortunate. Most of my QC issues have been resolved. My only lagging complaint is the frequent brake noise and easily overheating rotors.
no tow hooks no trail hunter package...no seeing anything that jumps out like a major mid cycle refresh. looks like minor things and i think they missed a chance to do something nice for the tundra. ill stay with my 24 platinum.
This was never going to be a mid cycle refresh year. The generation started in 22, too soon. Here’s the way I look at it: 2022 was the new gen year, 23 had very minor changes, 24 had quite a few additions (nightshade, trd off road on platinum, 1794 LE etc) and 25 minor changes. Will 26 be a big change year, we shall see!
I think that the world has come to the point of which quality and reliability are no longer attainable from any manufacturer. The goal to make them cheaper while raising the msrp's to astronomical levels is now the norm. Paying far more for much less is something that I could never justify doing. These dealers are still only shaving off a fraction of their massively hiked prices. No matter how you slice it, they're not offering deals. They continue to offer ridiculous gimmicks as options so more can fail and you can visit the service dept. more often than not. Great for those that lease. Just my opinion!
Disappointed, more fluff and cost in an already expensive truck. Need more engine choices. I never see any longbeds or SR models always see these loaded trucks
Instead of building all these luxury trucks why don't they concentrate on the basics make a good truck the way it was back in the day we don't need all this luxury to raise up the prices. It's ridiculous to have a car truck at $80,000 Canadian build a truck for a towel for $30,000 Canadian can you sell your trucks and business will go on
NOT ENOUGH. WHAT THE F TOYOTA? Why not the TSS 3.0? Why not Trail Hunter edition and package? Why not adjustable suspension available with the off road suspension? What about options to not have sunroof on higher trim levels? How about a 1794 with Trail Hunter package, no sunroof but all the above on medium and long bed and above 2,000 lbs minimum loading capacity? Do this and you will be the number one for 1/2 ton segment seller. And keep all these under $80K.

I think it would be awesome to own such a truck with all these features, but it is not necessary for me.
The government working inside deals with manufacturers to price consumers out of trucks and SUVs. You will own nothing and be happy. Remember?
Personally I prefer a higher trim. I use my truck for business and spend considerable time in it. My peers drive Mercedes, Lexus, BMW SUVs. My high trim truck is practical and modest in comparison.
What does Toyota have against Tow Hooks?
Massaging seats 😳 and a few stickers 😂….fix the reliability please…

Massaging seats means more tech features to breakdown.
True, but one of my only complaints on the 2017 SR5 I have is the seats are uncomfortable. This would be a welcome upgrade.
Still no standard tow hooks

Did TundraDude just take 16 minutes to read a press release to us??
Absolutely
“The Tundra offers impressive powertrains”, says the company that just recalled every i-Force powered Tundra.
Well not every iforce engine, a certain production range of 22/23s
Bring back v-8
If the same democrats stay in the government, that will never happen. EPA has ruined enough in the 2020’s.

My Loan officer said the same thing they are predicting a vehicle recession sooner than later
All the new features are great, but until the engine/reliability issues are resolved it means NOTHING!!!!😡
Let it go….just don’t buy it if you are not jazzed….life goes on
They did address it
Has been resolved.
Yea they fixed it? And they are replacing engines. What else do u want?
I will say I like the new TRD performance package but most of these new upgrades are useless for me.
As long as Toyota has fixed their engine issues, they should do a short 2024 model run and a long 2025 run.
Sounds great but another way for them to increase prices again.
You might want to stay away from this until the engine issues are fully resolved.
already resolved and Toyota are replacing full engines not just the short block
If they didn’t care about the issues with my 2022 tundra, why should I care about a 2025? My resale value has dropped like a rock so I couldn’t afford to trade even if I wanted to.

Time to start shopping for a clean, low mileage ‘21 Tundra TRD Pro….
What is mud bath color?
Adding 1794 to the Sequoia is a good thing. They should offer it in other models as well.
Doubt it because it’s specific to the Texas plant
@@Kevin257 That is a good point. Great trim and would be nice to get the brown leather in other models.
I'd love to see them make better use of the gauge screen. It doesn't really do anything more than the normal gauges and the small screen in the SR5
Is the new power close tailgate an option on some trims, or standard across the board?
Hi Mark. Get a 25. I think there will be deals on 25s to. They want to sell any truck they can. Negotiate that you will want a 25 as you are concerned about the engine recall.
Lots of 2024 models left. I hope they can sell them. Maybe some great deals on the way.

Lunar rock sticking around makes me happy. Also the baja package seems really cool.
oh no, no solar octane?! At least Lunar Rock is still available
Any exterior body changes
I think the Rally package is pretty cool. I was really hoping for Underground and Bronze Oxide availability though... I'll be curious to see how Terra looks on regular trims. I suspect it will be similar to Solar Octane in 24 - so rare you never see any on lots or driving around.
That 1794 Sequoia is cool but I’m sure it’ll be 90k 🙄🤦🏼♂️
None of that extra extra stuff does nothing for me.

When will the Toyota safety sense be upgraded? What are the different?
I would think next refresh
I agree. They brought tailgate functionality over from the redesigned Tacoma, why not TSS 3.0?
I predicted that the 2025 tundra would come with massaging seats and I was right🤣 now I’ll for next year to snag one
No tow hooks up front 😢
Mark the package I'm looking forward to for 2025 is the trd rally. If they keep the price right on these (including discounts and rebates plus 0% finance/lease specials) Toyota will have a hard time keeping these on their lots. The trd rally package looks promising honestly.
I wish the Army Green would come back. Did you mention two hooks?
Impressive, but there are too many amenities that are not necessary. What ever happened to a simple truck? 🤭
I'll keep my 2018 and keep rolling
Yep. My 2019 SR5 with many upgrades is just better. I want nothing to do with these trash V6 turbo motors
The massaging seats sounds like a great addition. Dont care much for the power tailgate
Like the mud bath color. Would like to know the details from Toyota on powertrain and any material part changes made
So I’m assuming that the prices of tundras will pretty be on average 73k plus then ?
If the turning radius improves I'll consider
12k Towing, i can Tow a 8k Toyhauler with ease. I'd consider making the 25, my 5th Tundra. Because i had given up. 👍
Great line up. I love that interior on that 1794 Sequoia.
As I get older, I feel like that power tailgate is going to be a big deal to me.
Awesome trucks i can't wait to get one. I am hoping within the next 6 months or sooner. I will be asking you about the best one to buy..lol
Loaded question! 🤣
Underground color would look sweet on a platinum trd off road!
Tundra needs the button to lower the tailgate in both rear taillights as well as offer a rear step at both rear corners and not just the drivers side.
This is the only thing exciting to me.
What’s the point if it sits at the dealership because the engine is not reliable
It's too expensive for most of the folks who actually want one.
I personally do need a 1/2 ton truck.
Lots of cool stuff. I like nice but basic so if you're getting a new Tundra I'd say get a 2024 1794 edition.
