I’m tired of hearing about the “dated interior, old fashioned design “. RELIABILITY! The Ford has a pretty fancy modular interface that will keep you entertained while you are waiting for the tow truck.
thumperpaul don’t forget Ram. That 12 inch screen is awesome when your waiting 3 hours for AAA on the side of the highway
That’s what I came to the comments for also! I love the current Tundra, it is too bad I can’t buy one, yet. I love the big, bulky interior, the classic gauges, the big beefy design. I love the key ignition, too on the lower trims. I would love to buy A TRD PRO but it has push button start (yuck 😷). Anyway, these trucks are super reliable, arguably the most reliable pickup truck that is sold today. Real people that own trucks for what they’re worth agree.
thumperpaul Agreed! I couldn’t copy and paste my reply, but is below
No! Unacceptable to be paying this much money for a truck that i can’t even get remote start for the winter. It desperately needs an update. And don’t even get me started on the horrid fuel economy.
Who says you can’t get a remote start for the Tundra? The dealer offered to put one in for me, but I went aftermarket ( CompuStar) because I wanted a 2 way remote. You’re bitching about fuel economy? Sounds like you’d be better suited for a Prius.
A great truck that don’t need updates. Highest resale, bulletproof reliability, and built in Texas
Still driving my 416000 mile tundra. Original engine and transmission.
Offroadtaco you want a fucking 🍪
billy heaton ahh asshurt Ford or Chevy driver. Drive your junk and shut up
Still driving my 414,000 mile 2000 f150. Drove my 84 f150 868, 000 miles. Both origanal engi e and trans. .
I think you touched on some fan boy nerves. lol
LMAO
Call me old fashioned but a truck doesn't need a lot of techy crap.
Amen
Old fashion
the more simple the better!!!! less shit to go out ..especially with the computers in these things now a days
I've driven Fords and Chevys. My current Tundra is a BEAST. Haters gonna hate.
I own a 2017 Chevy, but I know from experience this tundra will have fewer problems and do a lot more miles without repairs.
James Wheaton I have a 2017 Silverado. And I agree. Still a great truck
Please explain how you know this if nobody that owns this truck has drivin it enough for us to know
+hancho I own a pool cleaning business with 10 trucks. 4 Chevy Silverados, 2 Chevy Colorados, 2 Toyota Tundras and 2 Toyota Tacomas. All trucks are over 100k miles. The Chevy's are constantly in the shop for problems other than routine maintenance, where the Toyotas only go in for routine maintenance. From my experience, Toyota makes a much more reliable truck.
Toyota for gas, American for diesel.
Tundra is for the old school dude who knows how to fix a flat tire, Chevy truck owners call onstar, Ram boys use their 12 inch dash screen to google it, last ford ego boosters call their boyfriends for rescue.
revistadearmas
Bahahahahahahahahahahaha nice!!!!!
ooh ooh do gmc
Exactly. THIS IS A MAN's truck. Not an ipad on wheels.
And Nissan owners lay in the bed of their truck and cry
what about the honda ridgeline owners? lmao 😂
Consumer reports says the Tundra is the most reliable and most durable truck and has been for several years. I have owned Fords and GMC's they are junk compared to a Tundra. Every person I know who owns a tundra has put hundreds of thousands of miles on them with no major issues. Next Truck is getting bought this year and its going to be a new Tundra.
Ya these trucks have zero tech compared to the competition I would say literally every truck is "better" then toyota right now. But I think toyota is catering to the more simple buyer who wants a work horse that lasts forever. I don't think many people lease these, they actually buy them and keep them til the wheels fall off. The problem with the other new trucks is due to all the electronics, they're like iphones, they need to be replaced every 3 years. Thank you for another great review
Exhaust Sports Auto Spot on analysis
"Replaced every 3 years"? What electronics on these trucks are you talking about that need to replaced every three years? Sure the optional nav on a ten year old vehicle looks dated vs a modern smart phone but thats why most are being sold with "Car play" interface instead of traditional nav but never heard of people having to replace their electronics on 2015 and earlier model trucks...
I got 140,000 miles on my 2007 silverado and it runs like new. With more technology than this thing.
Exhaust Sports Auto LMAO... every three years, huh? Matt could've reviewed a 2010 cause it's basically the same lame ass truck for a Camry owner that thinks they need a truck.
TurboDieselDan, I think he means the 3 American trucks will all start to fall apart after the warranty expires, which is 3 years. Sure there will be exceptions with people saying their truck has 250k miles with no issues but the overwhelming majority will report about it always being in the shop for minor things.
Toyota don't listen to them, the tundra is a perfect truck
I'm from the future. Toyota listened to "them" and it's starting out as a disaster. Recalls. Blowing up engines. No solution yet.
I like it. Just a simple truck that’ll run forever
Todd Jones FORD
Todd Jones nobody cares😒 it depends on people’s taste and you can’t change that
RAM and Ford will break down much faster than the Toyota!
Show me a Ford and Ram truck that has a 999,999 miles on it that was used by someone always hauling something. UA-cam search the legendary 999,999 tundra from a guy who works in the oil&gas.
@Todd Jones is a difference between what looks better and durability Toyota beat everybody when it comes to durability Dodge beat everybody when it comes to looks I believe Dodge has some of the best looking cars on the road I wouldn't buy one a lot of them are notoriously unreliable the Rams aren't that bad but that Hemi needs a tune up every 33,000 miles for example just food for thought
I'll take dated and reliable. Love my 07. I bought it for $25,500 in a terrible economy and I've put 90k on it and it's still worth nearly 20k almost 10 years later. A little over 5k in depreciation for almost 100k miles!
sure big guy

@@kidamere2408 lol that's 12k on a fully paid off vehicle that's 13 years old? That's like a double down payment. Hell maybe even a triple down payment. I'll take it.
@Jack Z no hes full of shit learn to read
on what planet are you getting $20k for a 12 year old half ton with 100k miles...dream on dude

What’s bothering you so much that u had to try to prove him wrong “big guy”?
Lol
Dated but the BEST truck out there, period. Built in the good ol' U.S. of A. /salute
theAnalyst it has to be lol ever heard of the chicken tax?
All the parts are not American and the profits go to Japan
Let's not forget the thousands of American jobs being created and the economic stimulus that it creates throughout 'Merica.
Profits still goes to Japan not America, If given the chance to buy a all American product then Americans should buy it. (some chose not to)
That's how we stimulate our country and add more jobs.
It's too bad American cars are subpar.
That things is baddass and that v8 sound is amazing👌👌
Ill take this tundra over any other pickup.
Tech will get you in trouble they can hate all you want but simplicity is key
you are correct!! lots of computers will get you in trouble in those newer fancy ones!
I've been a gm guy all my life and I think the tundra is the only real truck out there.
Jeremy Sayers and your full of shit too
Jeremy Sayers LOL the Tundra is a lifted mini van with a bed.
Morte Parla uhh I think you are talking about the ridgeline lol... and last I checked minivans aren't body on frame.
Morte Parla You are one stupid man.
TheExotich1 I like how if someone has a different option you people have start with big man internet name calling lol
My buddy has a Toyota Tundra has 600,0000 miles same engine 2nd transmission
Ive owned every brand of truck out there outside of Nissan and went with the Tundra this time around and am 100% happy. Its simple, reliable, and Toyota customer service is absolutely amazing.
I’ve got 200k+ miles on my 2011 tundra and it’s never had 1 issue. I wouldn’t take another truck over it.
At 200k miles they are just breaking in
Outdated or updated! Still better and out last any domestic pickup out there! Toyota Quality, Dependability, and Reliability!
Darryl Jackson my 2016 f150 5.0 v8 eats them 5.7 tundras up
Jermaine Singletary because the coyote is a fucking beast of a motor, while the iForce is a boat anchor
No doubt lol
Darryl Jackson So by your logic, you would pay full price for a 2007 vehicle...Wow just wow, toyota fanboys running out of excuses to bash on domestic pick-ups
Other trucks will be planned obsolescence money pits. Toyota is smart not taking risk.
Tundra is a good powerful old block V8. Problem with it is that Toyota don’t care to put more R&D to develop it more to compete. They’ll just riding on its badge. Definitely most reliable truck and best resale. If they develop this truck more like they do with their other line up it’s gonna be a killer.
Mr_ NutZ www.motortrend.com/news/toyota-to-update-body-on-frame-models-considers-hybrid-truck/amp/
FYI the million mile Truck was the v6
jmasoncar s sadly like Toyota always do with Tundra, that’s probably in the next 3-4 years if they will deliver. Seems like they are just contented on the Detroit 3 scraps. They should come up with diesel too like they have with Hillux
Alligator Andy Not true. My cousin owned the that truck. It had the 4.6 v8.
Benjamin Charles jalopnik.com/heres-what-a-toyota-truck-looks-like-after-1-000-000-mi
4.0 v6
Tundras I think are for someone who wants a "forever truck". Something you can keep for a VERY VERY LOOOOOOOONG time.
Six months after you buy one of the other brands trucks you won’t care about all the other junk they come with. You will however care about how reliable the truck is. This one won’t let you down.
Just blows my mind that this truck and it’s technology and styling is considered “dated and basic”! How freaking spoiled and vain are we American consumers these days. This is a beautiful truck, built for working. And $48,000 is a LOT of money. That’s another thing that just baffles me, how people spend so much money on a vehicle.
We don't need those fancy Electronic gizmos. That's what turns cars into money pits. It's called Planned Obsolescence.
The only reason I would get a truck is to haul a trailer/boat, go off roading regularly and use the bed for a payload. All these other trucks with this german luxury tier tech features will eventually break. I want my truck to be as minimalist as possible, I need it to be reliable. I wouldn't treat it as a pavement queen like a lot of people do. This Tundra seems to be my kind of truck. I could also settle for a base model domestic truck but those tend to never have the more powerful engines as standard. If I am only going to use the truck for commuting like a pavement queen i'd rather get a nice car.
Drinking game; drink every time matt says “Ya know”
Maud TX 😂
This bothers the crap outta me and make it hard to watch/listen
Or shot everytime he says "here" ya know.
I would actually prefer to have the key vice a push button start
They are easier to fix and cost way less
The one thing that the Tundra has I wish every manufacturer would do is the whole rear window rolls down that is one feature I love but the rest of the truck is outdated. but if it isn't broke don't fix it I guess is Toyotas saying.
My ex girlfriend had a Dodge Dakota with a power rear window that rolled down like the Toyotas.
If I become a technician at Toyota one day I will get one of these
I will still love my Fords and Chevy's, but I have to admit, my 2018 Tundra is the best truck I've ever owned. It's a very trucky truck.
The reason I want this truck is not for the tech and luxury, but for the simplicity and durability. The biggest selling feature for me is that it has the Land Cruiser engine.
Just purchased my 2018 Toyota Tundra CrewMax with SR5 TRD Off-road package about 2 weeks ago. I’m so in love with it. Just took it out to the mountains for a camping trip n it was a great ride.
Comment section is always better entertainment than the video in any pickup video.
I have had 3 tundra's, a 2003, 2010 and 2013. My 2010 was totalled due a driver who took a red light. What sold me was the crash test done to all 4 trucks, the tundra did not crumble as much as the other three. I preferred the SR5 compared to Limited, Platinum edition I don't need sensors everywhere. My two cents
After finding out how they went from a V8 to V6 in the new Tundras I’m definitely going to get one of these one day. A big GMC guy but I’ve always had respect for Toyota and their Japanese origin.
I agree with the "reliability" that will be the biggest factor in my next tuck as someone who keeps vehicles for a long time!
This is like an iPhone, simple as hell, plain as hell, never changes, pricey as hell... And people will still always buy it because of its quality
Toyota is only nameplate that's third-world tested. You won't ever find a RAM, Chevy, or Ford in Somalia, Congo, or Vietnam. Evar!11!
“The oneeee thing this truck has over the competition is reliability...so if you’re looking for a truck that’s reliable, this is the one for you.” Uhhh...reliability is everything! What good is a broken down vehicle?
No need for major changes. It's the best looking truck in the history of the world.
Just bought a 2020 SR----Love it
Ford and the other American brands are made in Mexico now, Tundra is made in Texas The most American made truck on the market
A Walsh thats false. According to kogod. In order by most american content
F150
Tundra
Ram 1500
Titan
GM 1500 twins
I would still take this Tundra over any other full size pickup truck in a heart beat. Way to go Toyota.
Toyota's new slogan should be: If its not broken! Dont fix it!
One thing that tundras are not falling off at is reliability and that's what really matters when it comes to a work truck
Love my tundra, unique on American forces. Stands out more than others because there is a lot of Chevy, ram, and GM not hating I’m just saying. Plus Toyota is barely manufacturing in the US an growing. People hating on the MPG sucks oh well lol I get 9 mpg because I step on it. Love the truck
I love my Tundra. Although it’s not a new one, it’s a 2003 with 235000 miles but it still works. I see no reason to buy a new truck.
That tundra is not outdated is gorgeous
I've been considering a used truck for a while now and have had my eye on the Ford SVT Raptor with the V8. After watching this review though, I feel like all this generation Tundra would really need to compete with the Raptor is a TRD supercharger and would still retain its reliability while costing a bit less... well worth it imo even when considering how low tech this truck is in comparison to its competitors.
So I see a lot of people complaining about the tundra lacking tech., bad fuel economy & dated interior.
The question, is the Tundra trying to be a luxury truck?
Also, Toyota was just honest with the mpg numbers, other "modern" trucks consume almost same amount of fuel. On the TFL towing test, the tundra did consume just about same as the competition.
Tundra doesn't have to be like the competition, it has to be a tundra.
Others are only good on paper, modern tech is overly hyped.
Tundra is strong enough to tow space shuttle. Tundra went 1 million miles on one single engine without being rebuild. Tundra seat fabric didn't even worn-out after 1 million miles. Tundra frame lasted 1 million miles. Tundra cab corners lasted one million miles. Tundra exhaust manifold bolts lasted 1 million miles. Tundra engine lasted 1 million miles without blowing spark plugs. Tundra is the only million miles gas truck without problems. To many people focus on looks and forget that looks are deceiving. To many people call reliability is outdated, and favor issues as advanced technology. I know truth hurts, but it's reality.
Coming from a 2001 Silverado 1500HD that rode like a mule, my 2017 crew max 4x4 rides and drives so sweet! I love my Tundra just the way it is. The interior is perfect for me. I would love to have the TRD duel exhaust set up or something similar to that.
11:03 That thing sounds amazing👌👌
I'd rather have a truck that last than a truck that has constant problems like dodge Chevy or Ford
Best pickup money can buy. Dont care about bells and whistles. This Tundra is classic and reliable.
I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5. Just crossed over about 82k miles. I have had zero mechanical issues. Now, the only non mechanical issues I have had... The radio locked up on me 2 times (basically refused to respond to my commands). The first time it happened, I had my music up pretty loud and then knew something was up because I couldn't turn it down lol. Had to pull up and pay for my food with music blasting lol (did this one other time) Only way to reset it was to hit the power button on the unit or turn off and turn on the truck. The other issue, has been my steering wheel. The rubber substance they use on it can wear. I was actually cleaning my steering wheel (using a microfiber and some detailer spray) and the outer rubberish layer tore on the steering wheel so I now have a hole that is starting to spread on that outer layer of the steering wheel (I can put a steering wheel cover on). Other than those 2 issues, I have had zero to complain about. If I DID had to complain about something? The stupid brush guard underneath... It is the HARDEST thing to put back into place when you are finished changing your oil. Also, the oil filter housing... you are supposed to be able to loosen the bottom of it to allow the oil to drain out of the housing before removing it and making a mess. I have never been able to loosen that little plug so yep, I remove the whole thing every time and make a mess lol. Actually replaced it and the same thing happened (first one was from factory). Why they don't use an all in one oil filter like Chevrolet or Ford is crazy. I actually pay more for the filter than the whole housing of a comparable truck (also change oil on an 03 Silverado so I have that to compare to). Summary of all this, I bought this truck because I knew that it may not have all the tech in the world, BUT it will start for me every time, will last for just about forever, and It has great trade-in value on it (it holds better resale value than any other truck brand for good reason).
Im actually picking one of these up for a daily driver .. I’ll trade mpg for reliability all day
You're are reviewing a sr5 version with TRD, which is for people who use it for work (better than SR) and camping!
If you want leather for daily driver or luxury...there's 4 more packages higher!
It might not have the bells and whisles but it has its name its the only truck you can rely on and will never leave u stranded
Next time you should do your acceleration run in tow/haul mode. It feels like a different truck.
2005 tundra 280k miles still going strong 2uzfe for the win
I'm Toyota loyal and after becoming so used to the reliability of them, I don't think I'd ever have the balls to get anything else. They do really need to update these though, they're falling so much behind. I won't ever need a full size truck so it's not something I'd ever seriously consider but damn it pains me to see these "new" ones on the road all the time
I just bought my 18 tundra sr5 trd pro. This exact trick only in white. I rolled my 06 f150 and no air bag went off. No tech? This truck has more safety technology then others in the same price range. Plus no other truck has a fully opening rear window.
All you cry babies saying the truck is outdated, you need to NOT drive a truck. A truck is a man's machine, not a luxury car with all the amenities. I'll take reliability and simpleness over all the fancy electronics and leather seats that will only cause problems down the road. Tundra FTW!
Have a 2017 tundra and I agree Toyota has fallen behind the domestic brands on many aspects. However, I would not be a tundra owner for the fact my new 2016 f-150 was a lemon, and Ford had to buy it back 6 months after purchase. Looking forward to 2020 tundra to see what Toyota does with their re-design. Until then I will stick with quality, dependability, and reliability of my current tundra. When the times comes for trade-in or sell I know it will have good value.
Carson Cunningham Why did you give F150 a chance to begin with?
so 'falling behind' I went out and bought a used 2018 sr5 in may 2020.(I let someone 'run into' my 2006 tundra sr5 and it was totalled, so needed another truck) and with plans to put 400K miles on it, will be driving a dated truck for a very long time. drove the rams, the silverados, the f series. not even close.
october 2022: so glad I have my 2018. much preferred over the new 2022's! guess it's ME who's falling behind?
I'm ok with the cloth seats, but the steering wheel not being leather wrapped is really nickel and diming. The rest of the truck is very nice!
less computers less trouble!!toyota simple...reliable! resale! the best...just got me a 18
Same as the Tacoma. They buy them, and keep them till the wheels fall off. Could not agree more. A 2010 Tacoma Access Cab TRD with 90,000 still gets $18, 000 where I live.
It’s dated in some aspects but far far far ahead in things like standard safety sense
How is the new Silverado any better at all than my 2010 Silverado in anything other than frills as I just can’t see that 4 cylinder turbo having a long low cost life
Always love your truck reviews! Please keep doing more of them!
Just bought a 2018 4.6 V8 GST/Gulf States Toyota TSS Off Road. For the price it can not be beat. Less than 35,000 plus tt&l. I installed a set of 4600 Bilsteins and am happy for the value spent. You can buy the TRD Sway Bars and LED lighting. As far as this video......you can get more with another brand at the same price? Find me a Ford/Chevy for under 35k with a V8........never.
Handsome truck. Has reliability. Sound system is the kind of sound a musician would prefer-clean and accurate. You do have to crank it but when you do the speakers generate clean sound and no distortions. I like the F150 3.5ecoboost’s power and handling though.
“ If it ain’t broke don’t fix it “ Toyota motto lol
The new ram just sent the tundra back to the stone ages.
And in 5 years the ram truck will be ready for bone yard.
The new ram is absolutely the worst looking truck I've seen in a while
Tpr1634 guess it's okay if you plan on paying 10-15 grand more to buy that new 2019 ram 1500 truck. I prefer yo nit pay that much more for sn over loaded vehivke. Who the hell needs cooled send heard seats. When did our society become such wimps? Must nevtge b
Generation xers and millennials who cried yo truck manufacturers engineering crying that their rearenfs were either getting too warm of cold! Bunch of wimps. You buy a truck yo do work. If want a family grocery getter go buy a damn SUV or a crossover type 4x4 vehicles.
@@harolddenton6031 🤣🤣😂😁😁🤣🤣
You got a point
@@Joe-629 just wanna add that, his truck will be ready for the boneyard and will be towed by a tundra 😎
One word....Reliability......
Good affordable workhorse that will last. That is why people buy a Tundra. And lets look at it this way. In 2025 are people going to look at a new 2018 and be impressed? no. It doesn't make sense to update every 5 or 6 years. When you can offer a lot of new things on a truck then do it. But from year to year most trucks don't offer much more.
Not happy with my Tundra at the moment. I bought a 2016 SR5 TRD last year used at 38K miles, now figure out it needs a new gas tank due to a sticky roll-over valve which I suspect has been there since the truck was made (results in really frustrating fuel fill ups - slow, slow slow), Toyota is NOT interested in doing anything about it after chasing them several times, basically told me to go away. That will be a couple of grand to replace. I now also have a blow door lock activator on the left rear door -- apparently Toyota has had these issue for years, great another issue. So much for Toyota reliability and support ...
Liked the music a lot. Love the channel Matt Maran!!!!!
16:12 all I needed to know when I decided to purchased mine, everything else is just a luxury
I do agree, the hell with tech. I don’t need it in a truck. I just want a lasting vehicle with no bullshit. I miss my mustang GT, now she was decked out. But I love my truck and hope she last as long as everyone’s Ive seen before.
i love tundras especially the space inside the crewmax and it'll last forever for sure but it's a work truck that's why i went for the tacoma for now.... i'll be waiting tundra
48k daaamn over in my state you can get a platinum or the 1794 for that price
Its not an iPhone.....jeeez!
Reliability I don’t think I need to say ANYMORE
Great review. Still a nice truck. Put a red scanner light just above the grill and you have KITT 2018 (Knight Rider) as a Tundra. Hey Pontiac doesn't exist anymore and everyone is going to trucks and SUV's anyway.
base model non turbo low tech trucks seem to last longer 👍
I own 2015 Tacoma ! my next truck will be Tundra !!!!!
I'd still buy a Tundra because of reliability and great resale value but I hate parking big trucks in So Cal.
4Runners are also long in the tooth too but are selling very well with little price negotiations.
Im willing to trade lack of tech for more reliability/resale value. But I just can't accept the absurdly low mpg. Toyota needs to add 2-3 more gears to make this truck competitive with the Ram 1500. 6 gears is just way too inefficient.
There is a heated seat 💺 on that under interface...😂 that’s extra..😂
I had a 2017 f150 screw 5.0 4x4 that had way more tech and better fuel economy. It had 22k on the clock and went to the dealer 3 times for warranty repair work. Guess what? Last week I just bought a 2019 outdated tundra. I don't think anyone has to ask "why"?
If you want to tell me the interior is outdated I’ll budge a little on that. But that engine is perfect for what a truck is supposed to do, and exterior wise, the Tundra is the best looking pickup on the market. Trust me. The only reason why the American 3 sell more than Toyota is because Toyota doesn’t sell Heavy duty trucks, if they did game over.
Awesome video Matt!
"Cooler headlights"? Nice detailed review... (Those are full LED headlight and fog light's.)
You're welcome.
COOL Review: 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 CrewMax
I love my 2015 Tundra CrewMax.
I'll never understand how a vehicle can cost 50 THOUSAND dollars and not have a leather interior. Trucks are so overpriced it's ridiculous.
Most Trucks within this segment has leather interior especially for 50k. Toyota is just way behind. I mean a Ram big horn edition starts at 37k and it at least has a leather-wrapped steering wheel for crying out loud. And at 42k you can get all leather interior, with a 12-inch touchscreen display, with heated seats. The Tundra doesn't even have heated seats at 50k! My mom who has a minivan for about 30k has those. They say that the tundra is for more simple minded people, well they need to have a simple-minded price tag not half of 100k.
The sr5 doesn't cost 50k. It's more of high 30s. The limited and up will get u leather. Platinum n 1794 will get u lexus style soft leather which will be 48k and up. Higher trim f150 cost about 60k?? I don't wanna pay 60k for a truck that runs for 3 years.
Bryce Harris Qhy would you want leather interior in a work truck. It is meant to be used for work
Bryce Harris bruh tundra is cheapest truck and most reliable. Fuckign Ford f150 sport costs 55k and doesn't have leather. Don't even get me started on ram, it's the most overpriced pos out there.
willjacobsmusic The Toyota Tundra is the best sounding truck out there. They are also the most reliable truck out there.
Excellent truck. I just wish Toyota had better gas mileage in both the Tundra and the Tacoma... if that improved, I’d pick one right up.
Great review! I'm amazed they're asking that much money (with a straight face) for that truck, though. Just doesn't add up. Simple is one thing, cheap is another. And there are vast amounts of really, really cheap materials in that truck. I don't dislike the overall look, and Toyotas typically have really good reliability, but given the terrible interior and over-inflated price tag, it's just not worth considering. I'd be interested in looking again when they've reworked it.
Who sneezed all over the gauges? :)
