Excellent review! I’ve experienced all three of the issues you listed (rear window trim, passenger side camera blowing out, and broken seat trim) and Toyota has replaced all three at no cost. This truck is far from perfect, but I’ve really enjoyed my year+ of ownership. Working with a good Toyota dealership has really helped make those issues seem minor; parts have always arrived quickly and the issue is resolved in less than a week.
what year tundra? how many miles?
@@korbekleeninc.974 2022, 25k miles.
@@metalheadtundra I got a 24 lift going on in a couple days. got stuck on you tube watching people with problems with the truck
@@korbekleeninc.974 sweet! Yeah, there’s a lot of negativity surrounding these trucks and the move to the V6, so it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of negativity on UA-cam, Reddit, and some of the Facebook groups. For me, the technology upgrade alone was worth the move from the older gen truck.
40k in one year! I'd call this some pretty thorough testing.
Yeah I'm hoping to cut back on the miles this year by leaving it out west and flying in and out!
@@RevereOverland did you paint the a piller on the blue tundra? Looks a lot better
2022 Honda civic with 250k miles google it
@@Hernsamayou cant compare with a uber/lift driving
@@Hernsama what’s the significance or relevancy to the vehicle that’s talked about in this video? But just to keep you busy, Why don’t you Google a 1,000,000 mile Prius
I love the Tundra and appreciated your honest review, thank you. We bought a new Tundra in 2017 5.7L and tow a 19’ Airstream and average 12.5-13.5 mpg towing which makes me happy with 386hp
As a pilot, and someone seriously interested in the 2022+ Tundras, I completely appreciate you factoring in wind with your MPG @ 4:30 +
One of THE best review I’ve watched, and trust me I’ve watched a lot as I have been reviewing pros/cons of trading my 2014 Tundra to 2022. Good job, you just got a new subscriber.
Just purchased a 2023 tundra. I absolutely love driving the truck.
I’ve had my ‘23 since EOM JAN; about 3,500 on it. Basically stock w/TRD add-on pkg. No probs and plenty of juice. Avg 19.2 mpg in PHX AZ area. I’m quite happy and paid for all extended warranty available (tires, engine to 10yrs). Love it (wasn’t sure I would!)
FWD or 4WD?
@@mrwigglebutz5061 mine is 4wd capable. 👍
I’ll just say this much I went and looked at f-150 tremor , Silverado ZR2 and ram rebel and finally went and looked at the tundra , to me the tundra had better fit and finish exterior and interior, hood, doors ,tailgate Ect had even gaps unlike the big3 and when I took a good look at the suspension components it wasn’t even close the tundra is built like a 3/4 ton truck MASSIVE axles , tie rods , ball joints , upper and lower A arms the rear diff my goodness 10.75 inch ring gear driveline MASSIVE and when I test drove it I was SOLD bought a 2024 Limited crew max in off road pkg 4x4 which came with a 3 inch lift from the factory , amazing low end torque. I’m very happy with mine . Lots of hate and negativity about the tundra online but if you go look at one in depth you will quickly find out people are just hating on this AWESOME truck !
I think your rig looks great! I love the front bumper. Great build and thank you for putting out awesome content.
I appreciate your pragmatic objectivity very much and enjoy your "tongue-in-cheek" subjectivity. Excellent review - keep the great content coming!
Thanks, will do!
Awesome honest review, great job. Just the level of detail someone can actually use to really get to know the vehicle. I debated very heavily between the new Tundra but did go with the '22 F250 Tremor with the 7.3 as I really want to get a 5th wheel eventually.
Acura must use the same plastic in the side of seats. My TLX had cracked seat trim and half the ones on the used lot had a break in the same spot!
I just worry about the new drivetrain. People buy Toyota’s for 200k plus mile reliability. The turbos and 10speed I’m waiting to see how it it sorts out. People forget the 07 08 and 09 had some issues. Takes a few years for issues to show up and get fixed. Turbos are awesome. What they do to torque is amazing. Wife’s turbo car is fun to drive.
I agree with you on the Limited. That’s what I have, but it also comes with the airbags which are awesome when adjusting to tow and loading stuff.
Love my 22 sr5 crew max 2wd that I wish I went ahead and got a TRD pro or limited. Over a year now 18k miles. No big problems. Just need better wheels and tires for the ice and snow.
Mine has 82k almost 1794 8 months old. Don’t ask! But all I can say is that I love the truck! I have driven all of them ! A lot of the comments made no sense at all before I bought it. Like the cabin is cheap on high end models! I did not see a better screen or interior hands down! Performance is stellar! Has not skipped a beat. I have towed rv twice to the west coast and back to east coast! No better truck out there esspecially not the cord it looked cheap inside even at 90k!
This video has the smoothest sponsorship intro I’ve seen, props 😂
All tundras including 1st Gen/ 2nd and 2.5 Gen get reduced MPG once any heavier/ larger diameter wheel package or suspension lifts are done
Thanks for that review. I really like the color of that stock limited. It looks lighter than the metallic gray color, but perhaps it's just the surroundings your in. I take it that gray limited became that blue tundra. WOW.
What about a Ford 150 Raptor? The new ones have 37 inch or 35 inch with a decent suspension. It tows less, but overall a very comparable option for those who off road moderate. I have had 3 tundras because I love the durability. I'm nervous about the next one I get and don't know what to buy. My last two have been Platinums and I out about 40k miles a year on them. I currently have a 2016 and love it, never one issue with any of them. The twin turbo makes me nervous, as well as the hybrid. I do not off road other than my hay field!
I watched the whole video. You killed it! Very well done video! The double cab joke was top tier 🔥😂
this is the best review yet!! ive been watching all your videos and it helped me pick out my 2022 tundra sr5 with the advance trd offroad package. i had a 2019 tacoma and the new tundra is way better.
That is one beautiful truck!
Thank you!
Smart people buy Toyota trucks. The rest who likes spending money on repairs buy Ford, Fiat and GM
😅😂
Even with the new V6 turbo?
Have you done any research on the reliability lately?
throwing shade at the American that make it possible for toyota to even make a truck is laughable. Toyota has always been a copy of a f-150. Its even more obvious now with the the turbo. There are good thing about the tundra but its not perfect and has had issues. Ive worked on my dads trundra and its def not perfect. Weve had early several gm trucks go over 300k with no major issues and when they do arise its easy and cheap to fix. 🤷♂️
And made in Mexico
I want to hang out with the guy on the couch. Can you bring him to Moab?
Yes!
Watch out, he smells of BO
Such a great review. I hope you could do one for the new Tacomas and possibly Stouts (if they exist)
I think it's funny you put seek jackers in. I'm only 5'11" and I have the seat in the lowest position and I still wish it went a little lower.
Great honest review of your truck! A lot of things I did not know about the new Tundra
Thanks!
We get that comment about being "American Made" whenever we post content with a Tundra or Tacoma!
Probably the best review I've seen. I'm sure toyota fan boys are butthurt across the board but facts are facts.
Only point you didn't hit on which I think is a big positive is you can get the crew cab with the 6.5 bed now. For a lot of us the 5.5 bed is useless, chevy ford ram all offered 1/2 tons with full cabs and 6.5ft beds.. Toyota didn't till now.
Great point. That something I didn’t consider adding since I’m a short bed guy!
Your willingness to cut on the frame and body to fit those tires is admirable.
But feels a step too far though...
It only required a body mount chop, so none of the body or structural parts of the frame were removed!
Crazy 1 year and 40k. I barely hit 9k and I had mine for over a year
I have a 23 platinum hybrid. And my biggest complaint is the interior space. It's hideous. There is nowhere to put anything. The hard plastic scratches really easy. I am a contractor I can't even put my bidding book in the center console. This is not a road trip truck. I'm 5'11 I barely fit in the truck. No storage anywhere. Almost impossible to eat lunch in the truck. The engine sounds like a Scandia go-kart. The truck feels like it's going to die every time I stop at a stop sign. But the worst part is the mpgs fraud. I really hope someone files a class action lawsuit against the lies they claimed. I bought the truck based on the mpg rating completely unacceptable. This is my 10th Toyota and by far the worst. I've loved all my other Toyotas. The lack of a home button on the infotainment Center is just completely unbelievable...and the suspension and Driving Experience is harsh. It struggles to go up hill. Not the platinum grill is chiping off. The windows.are really load. The dealer ship refuses to fix the broken phone charger and windows.
What? Your only complaint that makes sense is the lack of home button, but you can get there easily enough. There's tons of space. The center console is almost as big as my entire camera bag, and my 6'1" frame fits just fine up front. It's the best riding truck I've been in (unless you have AVS, in which case you need to get it fixed with the TSB), and yours will have even more power than mine since you have the hybrid... You're either full of crap, or you've got a serious lemon, because they have a ton of power and comfortably cruise up hills even while towing.
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much for your honesty!!!🙂👍👍👍👍👍
I love the thorough review; great job. I have a 2020 Tundra and I continually fail to understand why so many V8 Tundra owners are so butthurt about the new Tundras being a V6. I don’t care what the engine configuration is if it results in better performance numbers.
P.S. 40k miles in a year is very impressive. I’m jealous.
I genuinely think that there’s a good chunk of men who see their truck as a symbol of their masculinity, and other brands/models threaten that. I’ve seen the whole “real men…” comments dozens of times.
I don't think it's so much that the actual V8 is gone. It's more that the simplicity and possibly the reliability is in danger. This new engine is actually quite complex and while time will tell I myself highly doubt it'll make it miles wise as the V8.
I have a 2020 TRD Pro and wouldn't trade it for this new truck... At least till it's proven and mine is wore out.
@@jamesvaldez4093 I doubt it'll last as long as the V8, but we'll have to see. When I was shopping for my daily that I own now I saw dozens of VW 2.0 and 1.8 turbo engines with well over 200k miles. If VW can do it, I'm sure Toyota can.
@@RevereOverland I agree but at 200,000 the V8 is just getting warmed up. Lol.
It's gonna be interesting and I do believe Toyota will get it right but probably not in this particular generation of truck.
Good luck with your truck and keep us posted!!
This new drive train is not proven that is why some naturally aspirated owners have doubts. Small displacement turbos is here to stay. I'll keep my 4.0 Tacoma and FJ Cruiser as long as I can.
I like the review and love the new Tundra. I just feel like theres a lot of "Toyota Fanboy " bias. To say theres not enough aftermarket support for an F150 is pretty ridiculous. Toyotas high mark up plus the fact you cant build one how you want is why i would lean towards the F150. Essentially the same build considering theyre both boosted v6s. Plus if i really wanted to i could still get a v8 on the F150. Either way great review and glad to see someone actually offroad test the tundra.
Obviously I like my truck, but I try to be as fair as I can in the review! The F150 is a great truck, but there aren’t nearly as many options for off road bumpers and suspension as you get for the Tundra. That’s why I said if you want to keep it stock that it’s worth looking at as an alternative!
Good info. In 60K miles did you have to add any oil between oil changes? Thank you.
That's how much I put on my vehicles a year just got my tundra!
Great review! I have a 22 Tundra Limited also. I agree with you on all that stuff!! The goods and bads.
The only ones I’ve been considering is the f150 tremor or the platinum tundra maybe even 1794. I currently live in the US but I’m moving back to Canada in 6 months for good. I don’t do any off roading really so not sure what I really want
Im the same way and have just accepted that Im not going to offroad enough to warrant a tremor etc. They will be stiffer and less plush on road. I'll take on road manners over offroad stiffness at this point, I'm not overlanding or truly offroading
@@ilikepieinmypans2 plus tundra full slide back window best thing I’ve seen. They just lack the bed step for my old dad
Nice nice nice I have the solar octane 2022 Trd pro love the truck. My off-road on the beach does amazing towing amazing turning radius could be better. I have had it since October have 6000 miles on it. I deleted the plumbed in engine noise makes for a better experience of driving.
I love the cut aways about the haters 😂.
All the crash safety is the reason I believe our gas mileage isn’t that great the tundra is dam near 1000 lbs heavier than the f150, I’ve never had an issue with my auto high/low beams mine work right every time I LOVE THEM
Cheers 🎉 and Thank You 😊
I average about 16.5mpg with mine. Which is pretty bad considering the estimated is 24mpg.
I get 20-21 when driving, I also crossing just over a 6k pass to get to the city. Mpg is so subjective because it depends on the driver.
I guess you won't like my comment either, but the rub is that new Tundra cost SO MUCH MORE MONEY vs. the old V8s for very little additional benefit in my opinion. My 2018 4x4 TRD SR5 DC V8 cost $39k.I'd have to pay $55K+ to get that configuration now, and the back seat would be much smaller (on the DC). How much better is the new Tundra for an extra $16K? hhhmmm? I can pull my camper, haul gravel and everything else I need to do with my 5.7.
$39k in 2018 is the equivalent to $48k in 2023 thanks to inflation. The 2023 SR5 TRD Off Road starts at just over $51k. For that extra $3k you get a rear locker, crawl control, etc., plus a far more fuel efficient and powerful engine with a fantastic transmission.
I know it’s not worth it for everyone. Plenty of people, like yourself, are going to be just fine with a 2nd gen.
My next truck will be a crewmax and long bed at some point. Does that mean itll be impossible to go through drive thru? I'd imagine its turning radius is even worse lol. I have a 2007 4.7L tundra at 180k miles. Itll be awhile before I upgrade but itll definitely be the 3rd gen.
Probably! I wouldn’t want to try it on a tight drive through!
What suspension mod do you think is causing the sway bar links to keep breaking? Hopefully the Bajakits fixes that issue.
I thought it was my extended link brackets, but I talked to someone after I filmed this who only had Westcott spacers that broke their link too.
Id take a 70s or 80s chevy any day.....carry a fuel pump...coil ...alternater and you will never get stuck....✌
excellent review thank you
I have a 2023 and Love it (so far)
amazing 40k! did you regear it?
Not yet, but I’d like to
Ugly? I like it. It’s got a sci-fi style to it and drives smooth.
40k in a year!? Goddamn😭 i had my car for 2 years already and barely hit 10k
Does anybody know if Toyota uses steel sleeves in cylinders or they switched to plasma wire coating in this new v6 block?
If you are going to tow buy a 3/4 ton 2500 truck I owned every model of tundra but didn’t buy the new generation i bought a 2500 duramax diesel towing 7,500 lbs I got 15 mpg it doesn’t sway , no more meeting a 18 wheeler and being blown off road almost I will never tow anything over light hauling with a 1/2 ton truck again
Hahaha, the redneck you is hilarious. Need more of him on the channel
You have a 12 inch infotainment
Plus who uses a radio it’s all on an app.
And who cares about the auto head lights they flash you on dims as well.
You should buy 1794 and up
I use mine as my everyday apocalyptic truck
Carry all my firearms etc
Just to show off
there is no a perfect full size truck. It's either $$$$ to modify or/and too big (Tremor 250 or RAM Powerwagon), like mine Titan XD diesel. Even Gladiator is not perfect, noisy on road, well look to this me driving Titan XD on 1,000 miles and someone else driving Gladiator, but Gladiator will outperform pretty much any truck expect Jeep Rubicon SUV 5 door or Bronco. So there is pain in any set up and no perfect solution.
Exactly!
Just like when fords ecoboost came out even I gave it hell. But drive one and tow with one and you’ll see these twin turbo v6s will outtow any v8.
Every vehicle is a compromise between different factors that matter to us. It could be on road handling, off road ability, space, towing capacity, where it's made, and even looks. Where we fall on that compromise varies, so everyone’s vehicle of choice will be different. There's nothing wrong with having a German or Japanese made vehicle, or a vehicle that can tow less, or one that isn't the best on or off road, as long as it meets your needs.
The Tundra happened to be the best for my wants and needs. It's not perfect, but no vehicle is. If you think your truck/car is perfect, you're wrong, and you're probably the person I was making fun of in this video!
EDIT TO UPDATE: I got a call from Toyota customer service about 30 minutes before this video went live to say that Toyota will be covering the replacement wing mirror camera. I had emailed their customer service department about a week ago and they called within a couple of days saying they would investigate.
Beautiful truck. The 37’s and the lift looks fantastic.
Don’t own a Tundra yet, will probably be my next truck, and I’m not scared of the turbo six at all. I’m about to hit 184,000 miles on my 2015 f150 with the 3.5 eco boost so I know longevity won’t be a problem.
@nathaneley6486 I recommend 👌 Great truck!!
By far the best review on a vehicle I’ve ever seen! Unlike every other review, you managed to succinctly cover all the salient details and compare other relevant vehicle competitors as well. I can’t tell you how many times in the past I’ve had to watch numerous videos on one vehicle to get the info I was looking for. This post was also entertaining to listen to/watch. Thank you.
My arguments are exactly what you stated about the towing and the larger tires. Because of the 3.31 rear end it all but kills what made the previous generation so great which was when you put larger tires the mpg doesn’t drop dramatically because it has the rear ended can handle the extra weight of course up to a point. I have 35 inch nitto ridge grappler’s tires on my truck and I get the same mpg that you get which is 14 in town and I can still get 16.5 on the highway and if I keep it around 70 mph it’s around 17 mpg. Also, I tow regularly between 5000 pounds and 8000 pounds and I have never gotten below 9.8 mpg it’s usually around 10.5 mpg to 11 mpg. This is why I bought a 2021 was because that naturally aspirated V8 and that 4.30 rear end is incredible. Don’t even get me started on the turning radius. Lastly, the reason I went to the tundra was because the twin turbos went out in my F150 and they cost $6000 and I didn’t want to spend it especially when the truck only had 128,000 miles on it. So, if you think $6000 is cheap all the power to you.
Went from 20 Trd Pro to 23 1794 and WOW what an upgrade!! The plush ride, effortless powa, and tons of new features make it a treat to drive!
Did they improve upon the memory settings to include more than just the seat? I’m looking at getting the same model in ‘24
Yes they did! You can actually program individual settings to your key fob now and it will remember your driver profile when you start the truck!! @@4jmbl
@@4jmbl yes it’s an improvement. There’s also an adjustment for under your knee.
I was going to get a 2020 TRD PRO and bought a LIMITED 2022 TRD OFF ROAD with 17K miles- I am more than satisfied with this truck. As an owner of the outgoing gen., I really like the newer gen. trucks.
@@malachi487 great choice! Although I did love my Trd Pro, It felt very old & lacked power.
I appreciate this review. I’ve owned my Tundra SR5 OR TRD 4x4 Crewmax with 6.5 bed that came with premium options for close to 6 months and now have over 10K miles. No rattles, no squeaks, no wind noise. Loving it so far!
I’m glad you’ve had a good experience!
Thanks for the detailed update! I’m waiting for the 2024 and hoping they have a lot of these issues corrected. 🤞
In a similar position to you, maybe some info within 60 days.
Haven't owned mine for very long, about 5 months, but I LOVE it. It's so smooth and easy to drive. I wish I would have bought a higher trim, so I could've gotten things like a front camera, blind spot monitoring, and the bigger screen.
You should still have blind spot monitoring. All Toyotas have all the safety features. Even my 2020 rav4 base model has it.
@Andrew Ives It doesn't have it. It's not standard on the SR5. I confirmed it with my dealership. I have a 2023 Toyota Tundra, with the TSS Off Road package. A little disappointing, but oh well.
I had a 22 sr5 when it came out and got totaled a few months ago.. now driving a 23 platinum and i like all of the features from the higher trim as compared to my previous tss off road
@Juan Barrientos Sorry to hear about your SR5, but it sounds like you got a pretty good upgrade. The Platinum looks really good.
@@andrewives5001not unless it came with the convenience package
went from a 99 ram 1500 with a caset player to a 23 platnium. yeah i get about the same gas millage with 35s, but its way more capable and all the tech is lovely. dont even get me started on the headlights. who could of thought that you can SEE at night!
I really wanted to buy a new Tundra, but there are too many horrible engineering choices. Molded plastic coolant routing pipes, terrible eletronics. The turbos will cause major issues down the road as they have with any other turbocharged daily driver. I want to go back to regular engines. It doesn't help that the entire body and itnerior feels like it was 3D printed and snapped together.
Still a little leary of the new drivetrain, but one of the best things about Toyota and what contributes to their great reliability is that Toyota isn't afraid to make changes and fixes year to year. Many manufacturers will only fix something in a current generation if it's a forced recall or something catastrophic. Where Toyota will recognize an issue, get it fixed for current owners through a TSB and roll out that fix to future years of the same generation. This is why you'll often hear people complain about the reliability of a new generation of Toyotas, but by the end of that generation it's regarded as hyper reliable. Just look at the current gen 4Runner and Tacoma. Both had issues in their first 2 years and people were really down on them, but Toyota fixed the issues and rolled out those fixes to future years and now both of those vehicles are regarded as both ultra reliable and capable. I'm sure Toyota will apply the new formula to the new drivetrain as well.
That's a good point. The 2nd gen Tundra had a ton of serious problems when it came out too. This engine has been in the Lexus LS since 2017, albeit with a slightly different tune, so it has seen some miles.
It's funny how just about every comment in every comment section everywhere talks about how ugly it is, but my real world experience asking people about it almost always gets a positive remark (and no, I don't own one just yet so they're not sparing my feelings).
Excellent review. Honest and no sugar coating. Your "standard youtube viewer" impression was hilarious. Really really funny. I can also attest as someone who buys "merican", my last Ram 2500 literally had printed "Hecho en Mexico" on the door jamb, while my Toyota Camry was assembled in the USA.
Lol! The Ram 2500 is still a great truck. I could probably be persuaded to get a Power Wagon at the right price! I saw you can get the 2500 Rebel with the Cummins now too.
Thanks for the 40,000 mile review. I bought a '22 1794 Edition 6.5' bed 4x4 with air suspension last summer for just under MSRP. It was built in May 2022. I have just over 11,000 miles on it now. It tows 8,000 lb travel trailer just fine with the standard mirrors and non-hybrid engine. The ride without load was a bit jittery in the back end, but adjusting the air suspension helped. I did have some wind noise from the RR window, but the dealer addressed that. I still have a driver's door gasket issue that makes a noise like tape being pulled off and on. Very minor, but I will have it addressed during my next service. No modifications other than an aluminum folding bed cover. I get 17.5 - 18 MPG mixed driving and as high as 22 MPG on long trips with passengers and a few hundred pounds of gear in the bed. Towing has been about 13 - 15 MPG depending on weather and elevation.
I agree with you about some of the annoyances. Most of them could be addressed with software/firmware updates, but it seems Toyota is not interested in that even if they could make some money off them.
Did you adjust air suspension or your dealer? Mine bottoms out on dips
I've been really impressed with how your Tundra has come along with all the mods. Especially the color and the wheels. I have a Tacoma and while I wish I had your payload numbers I don't envy the trade off in size. The Tacoma has a bit of an advantage in that all the nanny electronics stay off if turned off(sometimes it's better to be a dinosaur). The auto bright feature on the Tacoma gets it right 9 out of 10 times so I use often. Toyota has been a big disappointment to me in one area in particular, which is their marketing. They make it impossible to get the exact truck you want because of the way they package features together. Avoiding a sunroof wound up costing me the camera system for instance, a critical feature I would have happily paid for by itself. Also, I felt the OEM LED lights were so much better I had to add them after purchase. Expensive but so worth it. Your experience with real world mpg numbers has actually cheered me up a bit since I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up with better mpg with a slide in camper(33 inch tires), something I wouldn't have expected. I seriously considered the Tundra but the escalating costs and the physical size put me off. It would be my first choice for towing however. I hope to run into you out there on the trails some day to thank you in person. Your channel was an early inspiration to me in this hobby and I've been along for the ride ever since then. Cheers.
There are definitely trade offs! The Tacoma is a lot more agile for the tighter trails. I wish you could order exactly what you want too.
Currently have a 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Love my truck and the V8. Will eventually own one of these new Tundra Pros. But I have absolutely no problems with my current Tundra, so until I do then I see no reason getting rid of it.
How much did you pay for it? I’m trying to get one but can’t find one with under 50k miles for less than 50k!!!
@@brandonturner9733 bought mine brand new. The dealership will give me almost what I paid for it in 2019 wihich was 50k out the door.
@@andrewschutte yeah it’s ridiculous
0:41, I was not expecting that. You nailed it!😂
Lol!
I find the fuel mileage while towing interesting. I had a 2008 Tundra SR5 TRD OffRoad 5.7L V8 with the TRD exhaust and CAI. I towed a 5000 lb trailer from So Cal to northwest Montana about a dozen times at the interstate speed limit. The the truck was also loaded with close to a thousand pounds of gear, family and two 17.5 foot kayaks on a roof rack. Round trip was about 3000 miles with a grand total of about 35,000 miles. Overall mileage for my 5.7L Tundra was 12.5 MPG, with a range of 7.0 to 15 MPG, depending on head or tail winds and hills. The stretch from Mesquite, NV to Trermonton, UT was the killer for MPG. Hills, bad traffic and an 80 MPH speed limit. I traded the Tundra in, at 250,000 miles, for a 2021 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition. Miss that truck! As the owner of two turbocharged cars, I am just not yet convinced of the long-term durability. Turbos are an expendable item. I do love the fact that turbo engines do not lose power at higher elevations as NA engines do. I have found that, after owning three roughly 400 HP engines, two of which were NA one one turbocharged, a 3.6L twin turbo in a Porsche Macan Turbo (410 HP with 415 lb/ft), the real world fuel economy between them is not all that different. Maybe 2 MPG, depending on driving. I wish the bigger tank had been available when I bought my Tundra. 26.4 gallons was a bit shy. The 24.3 gallon tank on the Land Cruiser is a joke, though at my age, frequent visits to the necessary are becoming more of a reality. This is so far, the best review of the new Tundra I have seen or read. Thanks.
How is this truck ugly?? This truck is hands down the best looking truck right now with Ram's 4th generation being second. Also Honda Ridgeline 🤮
I have a 2016 Tundra 5.7L. I hope the new Tundra winds up being reliable since one day I will need to make a choice for a new Tundra. My jury is still out but I am rooting for the Tundras success.
Fair and concise as always. Shocking you don't have 5x the subscribers by now, your channel has the best overland content on UA-cam, hands down. Keep on keeping on!

7mpg towing is exactly why the green energy bureaucracy should be disbanded
Your towing mileage (travel trailer) is the same as my 2017 Limited double cab.
I took delivery of my 22' Tremor in November. Very happy with it and it was very nice to order exactly as I wanted. Considered the Tundra and really like the truck but the first year was kind of a deal-breaker. As much as I trust Toyota, no company can get a totally new design right the first year and if I'm spending $65-70K it needs to be complete and not require me to spend a bunch of money because I'm not happy with something that should be effective or right from the beginning. Very good points made (good/and bad) and I appreciated your honesty with the Tundra so far.
I think the Tremor is a great truck. Its closest Tundra competitor is the TRD Pro, except you can get a Tremor for $15k less.
@@RevereOverland Yes, even though I had to wait over 9 months for the Tremor I was able to get mine on a XPlan (friends/family discount) with the 402A package for under $66K. The only options it didn't have were the unleashed Sound System and the pano roof. When I took delivery it had a retail of $72K and the dealer said there would've been a market adjustment of $10K last November. So, as hard as it was waiting that length of time, it worked out for the best.
Well done. A fair, unbiased revue.
I would agree.
Trash after 20k miles. a lot of noise even the dealer can't fix it.
Brother, haters will hate... Don't justify.
Great review. I was wondering how they were. I have a voodoo blue 19 tundra trd pro and love it with the exception of the gas mileage and small screen w/o apple car play. I like the basicness of the prior tundras to be honest… actually wish the pro came with a full plastic floor like the FJ cruiser did. I’ve done light off-roading in mine, basically sand dunes in south padre island in Texas and some mud and hills in Arkansas and even snow a few times… the stock tires were terrible but replaced them with some BFG’s and it’s made a world of a difference. Never gotten stuck in sand or mud so haven’t needed a locker yet but I’m envious of the new tundras locker. Might upgrade one day but thanks again for providing your input on the new one.
I live in Ontario CANADA our SSM Dealer had 4 new Tundra's with low Mileage 3.5 Turbo Engines were replaced that i know of... I LEASED 2023 Tundra and put about 500 miles on it and had my transfer case and front differential replaced .. It took over 3 months to replace the parts, because the truck model was new .. The Dealer was very helpful and gave me a TUNDRA for a loaner ,also the TOYOTA CORP. gave me a compensation package for the inconvenience ... I've been dealing with Toyota for 40 years ,because i been treated with respect as a costumer very good service.. I said to TOYOTA CORP. that i hope this is a millstone QUALITY MUST BE PRIORITY... They wanted me to purchase it, said NO not yet there is to many moving parts like 2 extra rads , hoses , electric motors , sensors , fuses , relays , wiring , turbo wastegates, twin turbos, ETC like i said just to many thing that can go wrong ... The question is how many Miles will you get before MAJOR things start to FAIL WILL I GET 250,000 MILES BEFORE REPAIRS ... These Trucks are not cheap NOWADAYS ....
Bro…nice Grey and Blue Tundra. So you’re saying you don’t have a V8, bring the Mountain Dew dude back.
😂 you and Mnt Dew guy would get along!
@@RevereOverland haha. You should make a video “when keyboard warriors strike”
Damn, my Bronco only has 4 cylinders and 33” tires. Loving the couch potato character 😂😂😂
Lol! But it's still a great vehicle and a ton of fun to drive off road!
Nice! I own the 22 LImited and love it. Not into offroad. Trailering cargo from Ohio to South Florida repeatedly as we prepare to move into a new home there. Fantastic performance on the road with the exception of the loss of mileage with a full loaded trailer...but still 10mpg generally. As much as 18.5 @ 75MPH empty. The only single problem I have had is with the digital compass indicator in the dash system. It often locks to a direction and won't change while driving. Have to get with my dealer service to see if that can be corrected.
My only real niggle with the truck overall is the interior lights...worthless! I'm waiting for some company to offer a replacement because you can't even read with those lights on. Everything else is just great...though I DID have pay over MSRP in Ohio as it was almost impossible to find a dealer last year that had any Limiteds coming in.
I'm sorry but the v8 is required. It just sounds way better and will no doubt last longer with less issues. No you don't need to have steak with potatoes, but that steak sure puts the cap on the entire meal, doesn't it? The v8 is the steak, tiny turbos are like skinless chicken breasts, all the character and fun and spice and flavour is gone. As for American, it's not just where it's built. Toyota in Japan controls every aspect of the design, and they'll ignore advice from Americans on their team because that platform needs to be shared around the world. Tim E has reported on this before. That said if you like your truck, that's all that matters. Personally I think they should have evolved the looks of the old one into something fresh, this new design is way too long in the front, looks more like a lifted station wagon than a truck. All recent toyota's design language for their trucks and SUVs can be summed up: "hey bro, please look at me too". All those awkward angles and goofy curves, doesn't do much for me. Also, no tow hooks.
I bought the 2023 tundra sr crew max…I put a jb4 tune on it and it’s nuts 0-60 was 4.95 with the tune 5.9 without it… The sr is rated lower on hp…I think it’s underrated myself.
If what is said about Toyotas testing processes are true, I bet the turbos in these vehicles will not be problematic. Time will tell.
Great review and thank you! I have a 23' Limited Hybrid with the TRD factory lift on 35's and you are 100% about the mileage, but I didn't buy the hybrid for economy. My only complaint is the squeaking in the rear brakes when reversing and the cracked driver seat side trim that was designed poorly. Otherwise being my fifth Tundra with 32k on it this year I love it.
2007 tundra remember I had and they said best brakes ever I would have weight and I would go threw them ever 12,000 miles I had give up Toyota for ford and I get 50,000 miles and still going brakes and many other thing’s better then Toyota yeah it has it’s defects but which truck doesn’t I’m look this new one toyota but kind thinking twice since ford has proving to be better for work wise then commercial use I got a lariat which is like a Toyota pluituim interior still looks plastic cheap they need up there game still
I sure love my crew max 4x4 sr5 ,very quiet,smooth , had my 7 months and only 1,600 miles on it . Thanks for your review 👍
