Great video mate. Nice to see a real world, seat of the pants evaluation by a consumer rather than a journo.
We are considering upgrading from our 2010 200 series to a Tundra IF they become generally available next year.
Great video!
Would love to see some day to day content as well, perhaps in a carpark situation as a daily driver
I picked up a saying a while back from an old bloke. He was telling me that the shiela across the road died. He said, she went and died and left behind a bloody beautiful Toyota!
So, I must say “what a beautiful Toyota you have there”
Mate, those fuel figures are pretty bloody impressive btw
Awesome mate, thanks for the info.
Do you know when these are going to be made available to the public?
It’s not 100% clear, as it depends on the results from this trial period as to if Toyota will release to the public. But the consensus is sometime in the next 18 months
Mint 🎉🎉❤
Interesting job on getting a tundra any chance you can do a vid on interior layout and size say compared to a Hilux / VW
The music 😭but great info thx for making the vid.
Thanks for the video 🎉😢
Welcome! Thanks for the note
Excellent presentation. With the highway driving (touring without a van) what would be the range of a tank? Close to 1000km?
Great question. I believe it’s a 122L tank, so would be tipping 1000km range.
I thought you’d tow the Sojourn ! Picking up ours soon and was hoping to compare apples for apples van wise against our Chevy 2500 and your Tundra.
We can tow a Sojourn in our next video!
Can you give us the GCM and GVM? Cheers
Great stuff. I am interested in how it performs at close to the 4.5 tonne limit. I know there are boats out there being towed over 4 tonne with 3.5 rated vehicles. Maybe you could borrow a boat?
Would be great to give it a shot. Our caravans top out at 3.5t really, some can nudge just over sometimes. But we don’t have anything up near 4.5t unfortunately
Thanks for the video, very interested in your feedback, currently tow 21ft off-road van with a 2021 200 series. Like you say, You know it’s there and you have to concentrate. So have been waiting awhile to see the difference the Tundra would make. How are the rear view mirrors, are they wide enough without having to attach towing mirrors or can they pull out wider, like clear views.
Mirrors are better than the standard 200 mirrors (as in wider, and also heated). I don’t generally use the big mirrors (bad habit I know) but have been eying off the MSA smaller extendable mirrors now they aren’t so ridiculously huge!
@@offgridoutfitters ok so you would say then that the OEM mirrors aren’t going to be ok for towing full size vans? Would be a good feedback point during your evaluation period. It’s a shame a vehicle that’s main function would be towing that out of the box doesn’t have mirrors that are adjustable wider.
I’ll need to test / check dimensions to be sure. It’s damn close to being ok for full size van based on actually using them. But might be just shy of actual widths required for compliance in all states
I’ll confirm and let you know 👍🏼
@@offgridoutfitters thx mate, that would be great.
Can you tell how it compares to the new 300
For a useful video on towing performance, you should've stated the trailer weight and tongue weight as tested. Include comments on how much the Tundra squatted when loaded. Tundra tow capasity as tested and milage based on weight of trailer. That's the information viewers appreciate.
Have you towed the Zone RV 19ft with the tundra as yet. How does it go with ride height with the higher drawbar and ball weight?
Ball height is going to depend on the drop or rise of the hitch that you put in the receiver. Even with a 7" lift and 37" tires on my Ram 2500, the ball (conventional hitch) was no higher than it is on a stock F150. Lift will affect height for fifth wheel and goosenecks.
Was curious why you were not using towing mirrors. Are the standard mirrors extendable or are they wide enough to provide the necessary visibility for towing?
They’re wide enough for me. Haven’t measure to see technically if they’re wide enough, but if I’m honest, I’ve not ran the big mirrors before (I know.. bad habit of mine)
@@offgridoutfitters Thanks for the reply. No dramas. Was just curious. For me personally I need the extra visibility to feel safe. But have never owned an American truck and the extra body width that they have may mean the standard mirrors may well be enough. Cheers.
We need to do some more research regarding actual measurements etc. But they felt suitable at least for the small trips so far with enough visibility for me.
The only payload data I could find is 758kg. Taking into account trailer download of 350kg less fuel accessories and people this only leaves 100 kg for anything else or nothing if you were to max out the claimed towing of 450 kg download
What sort of towing mirrors are you driving around with on the tundra as does not look like you have any.Are they legal
Standard mirrors. Seemed to work pretty well 👍🏼
Haven’t measured them or looked at them in great detail
@@offgridoutfitters so driving around illegally and will get booked if pulled over
Not heading down that rabbit hole arguing about legalities. Enjoy your Sunday! ✌🏼
I got the f150 3.5 l with a basic remap pushing out 400 Kw 860 NM and getting 12.4 l /100
Similar power could be achieve with the tundra
We drove the F150 while in the US. Also an awesome engine / gearbox combo! Great torque and tonnes of power.
@@offgridoutfitters If you make it back in the US in the Washington DC area you are welcome to try out my F450.
What is the service interval?
5000km for this test period. But ordinarily I believe it’s either 10,000 or 12,500
Twin turbo Amarok? Where can I get that?
4 cylinder Amaroks are twin turbo
Love the tundra, however I was really hoping the iforce max would help with daily driving (unloaded) specifically electric assistance to get the big lump moving from a stand still (traffic lights, stop/start traffic, just general daily life) From what I’ve seen in your videos this doesn’t appear to be the case. Seems like a massive missed opportunity for efficiency gains by not using the hybrid electrics in daily driving (isn’t that where electric motors excel? Torque that could be used to get the car moving?)
Let’s be honest, most of these vehicles won’t be towing every day of their life… just like 9#% of all the rams and Silverado’s I currently see on the road already.
Oh it does! I probably haven’t shown that feature, but something we can demonstrate. It’ll drive completely electrically until around 15kph or until more power is needed. Basic manoeuvring, like parking, or driving out your driveway would be typically under electric power only (engine shuts off). From a standstill, it uses electric to get you going, unless you put your foot down and require more power from the engine that is
Thanks for the reply...Dam! That was my was my main reason not to want get one... all out of excuses now😂
Great vid. Thank you. With several comparable 4WDs, I’m leaning towards the Tundra. Depends on when they’re available and final price Steve 🇦🇺
What's the weight of your camper
Just under 3T
It's sounding like these are the few they have been testing and no clear availability to Australian motorists . Most likely feedback is it will not be cheaper than the brand new Ford F150 in base trim or Ram V8 . Tundra looks really good has great features but price and availability may be the killer .If there is not a good supply of these the prices will be astronomical .
There are 300 of them for a pretty well publicised 12 month trial period. That is, released out into the wild and able to be utilised by people as they would normally to provide feedback on any improvements and so Toyota can assess the suitability overall. I would suggest, that this is the most thorough, and comprehensive roll out of any American ute into the Australian market. As a buyer, I appreciate the lengths they are going too! Given the effort and cost involved in Toyota getting this far with the program, I can't imagine they would be doing all of this to not release them! Just need to be patient. It will come!
The Ram v8 is going away. Tundra is the same class as the F150, and Ram 1500.
Does the tundra have I think it is called a 5th wheel hich
I don't believe that any of the half ton pickups offer fifth wheel prep from the factory. It is possible to add an aftermarket fifth wheel hitch to a half ton, but the half ton segment (class 2A) is not big enough to make it worth while. Fifth wheel hitches weigh between 150 and 250 lbs (gooseneck conversions - ie goosebox - save this much payload) and carry a higher percentage of the trailer weigh (15 to 30%) on the tow vehicle. This quickly uses up all of the available payload of a half ton. Depending on the size of your trailer, a 3/4 ton, 1 ton SRW, 1 ton DRW or higher would be a better choice.
I call bs on the economy. Fill your tank do 100k trip & fill the tank again & show us. Your dash will tell u what u want to see
Ok, of course it’s all bs…
Why would the metrics be off?
And how do you know the petrol station flow meter is accurate?
I’ve got no reason to BS. But fuel economy is one of those subjects where there’s plenty of experts opinions out there. Can only tell you what we’ve found so far in the 1300km we’ve driven with it! 🤷🏼♂️
As I said, don’t take it as gospel, and don’t get bent out of shape over it!
I run a 5.7hemi - 26L/100 with the van (3.3t), 17 around town, 12-13 highway (no tow). Figures seem very real to me.
@@chrisandshazza01 The 5.7 hemi is notoriously thirsty. I had a 2003.5 Hemi and it loved fuel. My last truck (2011 Ram 2500 diesel) got much better mileage in every situation than the Hemi ever did.
150k? pass
