Great review on the 19 tundra. I am not here to comment on which truck is better, mpg or whatever. I enjoy your videos for the information you provide on the vehicle I am interested in. You provide that for me fantastically everytime. I also like the overlay pics of different trim levels and wheel options. I always feel more informed and knowledgeable about a specific vehicle when I finish watching your reviews. Thank you again and keep them coming.
Great video, good in depth review. For all the haters, the tundra is a good value for what you pay.It's 55k for a pretty nice truck. What do you get at that price with the others? You still get pre-collision, lane departure, bsm, and radar cruise! You get heated and cooled seats led lights and navigation. What all else do you want?? Toyota's are way more dependable than any of the big three. NO "1/2 ton" pickup should tow more than 10k lbs. Its unsafe. As for fuel milage they all drink fuel when towing. If you want good mileage buy a midsize truck.
I agree. I have a 2015 Tundra Platinum and there isn't a newer truck on the market that could convince me to replace it. It drinks gas but I knew that going in. Reliability is what I'm after. I have had a Ram rental truck strand me when the computer shut the truck down. My uncle has a 2014 F150 and he's had more problems with it than I have ever had with all three Tundras I've owned since 2001.
Yep, I own a 2012 and I love it, and when I replace it, it will be another Tundra. I don't care if the Big 3 offer more options/tech or have better gas mileage(though I would like Toyota to address this). Tundra or nothing for me.
This is the kind of luxury I like. old fashioned luxury. I love this truck in every way it's beautiful on the inside and on the outside. I'm an old school type of guy so the Tundra along with the Tacoma are both my type of trucks.
ever since i modded my 2016 tundra i get around 11 mpg but it has never had a problem i take her offfroad i take it to work i towed multiple ford out and she still running great👍
it's a feature.. nothing more, I fear it will break one day... Still prefer old fashion way, turn the key and hear the engine moaning lol, especially these big V8s, music to my ears
i love tundra because it feels so basic it doesnt have all that technology and honestly without all that bullshit it feels like what a truck should be🤷♂️
ITS YA FATHA I don’t really care as long it had heated seats and cooling and power mirrors led headlights back up camera and good speakers I’m cool with it over all the tundra is my pick
I can't see paying 53k for a 1794 edition Tundra when it don't even have remote start! Insane I can buy a mid level trim competition and have over 10grand left
Traded my 2008 SR5 4x4 Tundra for a 2014 SR5 4x4. Got almost 50% of my investment back in trade in value even though it was 6 years old, and 109,000 miles! The 2014 has running boards, dual exhaust that sounds great! Never had any problems with either truck, and I'm a very happy customer. Built in Texas, engines built in Alabama, keeping Americans employed and food on their tables! Thanks guys for another great and honest review! The only thing I noticed on the new models as of 2018 /2019, is the larger gas tank capacity has eliminated the storage space under the rear seats. I really liked being able to hide small suitcase sized tool boxes and supplies underneath and out of sight. With the original 26gal fuel capacity, I could get over 5 hours driving time between fill ups, which was plenty. I can only assume they increased the tank capacity for those towing something long distance.
Tacoma FAN Have you seen the safety and crash ratings for this thing? Its reliable alright. You can reliably count on the tundra to kill you in a collision.
If you are already a committed Ford, Chevy or Dodge lover, you won't be convinced that the new Tundra is for you. I think this review is for truck buyers hoping to get some insight into the 2019 model Tundra. This review mentions the lower priced trucks, but is mostly for the Limited and Platinum versions of the Crew Max models. With that said, I think it does show the truck well for day to day driving in the suburban setting. This truck will likely not appeal for new adopters, 30" tired, lifted and tatted paint Raptor crowd. With that said, I recently bought my 5th Toyota and 3rd Toyota pickup. My first Toyota pickup was a 1988 4x4. It was simple, all manual, 4 cyl., and absolutely bullet proof. I sold it to buy a new 2002 Tundra. Perhaps the best truck/car I've ever owned. Comfortable, strong running, capable of towing/hauling, or hitting the road for a 3000 mile road trip. I recently sold it for 1/3rd of what it cost new, and the buyer was ecstatic. And, it was bone solid factory stock except for a canopy. I sold it for my 2018 SR5 TRD Tundra, and it also feels great. I did test the F-150, Silverado and Dodge 1500 Laramie. I thought they were all great trucks, and I bet I'd be happy with any of them. I chose the Tundra because of my experience with Toyota reliability and resale value. Let's face it... almost every new vehicle feels great when new. But, I tend to drive my trucks far and for a long time. FWIW, this one will likely be for sale in 2033. Deposits considered.
This is still the 2nd generation, Toyota gave it an extensive refresh back in 2014! The only completely new truck Toyota has is the Tacoma! The 4 runner is old, The Sequoia is old, and Land Cruiser is old!
Here’s food for thought, there is a video on UA-cam where there is an interview with Toyotas engineering manager, he was asked, “ why doesn’t Toyota bring their diesel to America for the tundra?” He had a very interesting answer, and very believable giving how most congressmen have their hands into everything,,,,,he said,,,” At this time the United States Government will not allow our diesel in American tundras.” So for me I was always told to follow the money if you ever wanna figure why things are the way they are, here is my two cents, if tundra introduced their tundra with a diesel in America, all the big three would be 234 in sales and Toyota would lead, our government has too much invested in all of the car companies, yes even ford, and a lot of personal investment from senators and congressmen, so my question to all is,,,,Why doesn’t our government allow Toyota to bring is full size diesel to America?
The US has some of the (if not _the_ ) strictest diesel emission regulations in the world. A lot of manufacturers sell diesel engine abroad that can't be imported into the US. The issue isn't that the US is deliberately shutting out Toyota, it's that Toyota's diesels don't meet US emission standards and can't be imported. Of course, the Big Three have enough market share to justify the cost of their diesels... Toyota just needs to design an efficient enough diesel that can be imported and used in the US (or follow Nissan Titan's lead and use a Cummins diesel).
Fantastic truck. Will outlast any vehicle on the segment. It does spend more on gas, but it will save you thousands of dollars in repairs... Not to mention stellar depreciation numbers
SS not everyone keep their vehicle “forever”. In fact most Americans barely keep their vehicles more than 8 years. Most people I know only keep their cars for 4-5 years , 8 years Max, so they all lease cars. The tundra is super reliable but dated as fuck , just like the venerable Crown Victoria , NOBODY wants a crown Vic anymore that’s why it’s discontinued despite it’s a super reliable car.
The most intelligent coments !!! You miss to mention that if someone like me spend $52k in any car ...why you will be worried about the gas mileage??? So buy a corolla and problem solved!!!Lol !! I love my tundra forever
My 2014 Platinum has all the features of the 2019 except for the brake for towing. I love my Tundra. Been a Ford guy for years but once I went tundra, will not go back.
Great video. Love my 2016 Tundra and would not trade it for anything else. It’s a truck dam-it, not a luxury car. Poor comparative gas mileage…. So what! I have other vehicles to drive if that’s an important issue to me on that particular day. Being in my 60s, it’s reassuring to know that this could be the last truck I would NEED to buy.
I own a 2016 SR5 4X4, gas mileage is about 14mpg, got the 5.7, love the power availability. My biggest complaint is that the bolts that hold the bed on are raised. when i slide my 5 gal buckets and tools into the bed they hang up. the buckets sometimes turn over. of course most people aren't going to haul tools, ladders, and buckets. My truck is a rolling tool box, the back seats will never go down, full of tools! The bed has a factory spray in coating, maybe that's why. I realize most people don't work out of their trucks. Except for that , I love it! I like that it doesn't have a lot of computer crap on it!
Toyota has a history for reusing the same engine designs for decades. In order to not compromise on reliability and quality, they reuse the same engine designs and make small increment changes to them. If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's where Kaizen comes in "Continuous Improvement which is one of Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 5th Points. Other manufactures redesign a whole new engine each time a new model comes out and have to deal with reliability issues on a new engine design. The 1nz-fe engine is one of Toyota's oldest engines still in production today that was designed in 1997 still used in the late model Prius C. That's why Toyota's are made to last. Dr. Deming is the man behind Toyota and Japanese Quality Control.
On the back of the center console says there's a 12v power outlet then says but no charging port?🤔 What does he think it's for? Some devices don't use a USB and if they do, just buy an adapter. Would be nice if they had both on there though.
I feel that this truck is BUILT TO LAST rather than built to sell vs the competition. Probably explains why its outdated but its reputation is the best through all those years. “Long lived the King”.
I drive a 2007 model year, and I have to tell you this truck is bullet proof, I have almost 300k miles on it and it's running like new. I drove a silverado and a f150 same year and both feel like they are falling apart.
08 crewmax here. 157k miles. Brakes, battery, oil changes, tires, wipers only things replaced. Never, ever has something broke on it. I am a GM guy. Not GM, Ford, or Ram can compare to the Tundra in reliability or comfort. City gas mileage not great but highway is 18mpg. Ecoshit fan boys, your shit does NOT get any better highway and only 2-3 mpg better in city.
@@doofusgilmore7164 You entitled to YOUR opinion- you know what they say about opinions don't you? - you and ya 14mpg toyo along with ya opinion means NOTHING -
@@veronicaserrato9827 it depends on what Toyota decides to do. Some automaker will not bring updates to already sold vehicles, others will make them available to purchase and others still as a free update. Toyota hasn't announced what they are going to do yet
Nothing like Toyota,Nissan,GMC and Mercedes tundra is an amazingly comfortable vehicle we had two nothing like it,Ford f-150 is an aluminium crap in front of it the v8 engine sound is music for ears.Toyota tundra,2019 Dodge Ram and Chevy Silverado are the best looking trucks.
Ive always liked these trucks ,reliable and strong . I looked at a new one 5 years ago and it appears nothing has changed . Which tells me its a tried and proven design . The fuel economy ill admit was a leading factor in not choosing this truck. Plus i needed regular towing over 13000 lbs so i waited and held on to my tacoma/and my 5.3 chevy 1/2 ton . untill i ended up choosing a 2017 ram 2500 megacab cummins 4x4 laramie long horn. I get 20 mpg it is more expensive but the comfort/power/longevity is what i was after . I imagine someday they will have something comparable
I read through a lot of the comments and what people are saying is "I know it looks old, out dated, plain, boring and no bells or whistles but when I turn the key it starts"
Is there any trim level that offers locking rear differential and crawl control or is it just reserved for the Tacoma? The review you did was excellent. I wonder about reliability..is it on par with the competition or is it near the top in quality like many other Toyota products? Is there any known issues or flaws with the Tundra?
I'm not a fan of luxurious vehicles but to me this is plenty of luxury for me. And I didn't say it as a bad thing either. I think this is very beautiful both exterior and interior. I just wish I could afford one of these. If I had the money I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I actually used to work for the assembly plant in San Antonio Texas.
replaced my 2008 Tundra ( Which I loved!) with a new 2018 and what a huge disappointment! Too many issues to mention them all and some downgrades. Only upgrade was the electronics which are problematic at times. Dont expect much out of this new truck and you'll be happy, I am looking forward to getting rid of mine. Don't know what I will buy next, if it is going to be another Tundra, there will need to be huge improvements.
Do you know if the Tundra comes with a feature where you can leave truck running with A/C on and lock the truck up. I ask because we like to travel with our dog. It’s nice to be able to go eat at a restaurant while dog stays safe and cool in the truck. Does Toyota offer this option?
Hi great video I have a question I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra SR5 and I want to keep it at least 2 more years and then trade it for a Toyota 4Runner what do you think 🤔
My 2001 Suburban leaks like a sieve and is a rattle trap, and my 1994 Sierra 1500 leaked from day one until I sold it after 150k miles. Have 350K on my 2001 2wd Tundra w/4.8L. Doesn't leak or burn oil and still solid and smooth, even though the last 50K was by two teen drivers. Just basic maintenance. My only complaint has been the timing belt replacements every 90K or so, which I believe the new ones don't need. No need to explain what my next truck will be.
Toyota is smart and sticks to true tried and tested technology. New technology means planned obsolescence, more things that can go wrong that turns cars into money pits. Toyota has a history for reusing the same engine designs for decades. In order to not compromise on reliability and quality, they reuse the same engine designs and make small increment changes to them. If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's where Kaizen comes in "Continuous Improvement which is one of Dr. W Edwards Deming's 5th Points.

Except for the american workers that build it, the american workers that clean the bathrooms at the plant, the american companies that supply the frame, the axles, the transfer case and a number of other parts, etc Who gives a shit were the "profits" go back to, a handful of executives are not what drive's the economy, the hundreds of blue collar workers on the ground floor are. Maybe you need to educate your self.
Test drove a Tundra SR5 version yesterday because my 2006 TACOMA is hitting 250k miles. Every vehicle interior seems archaic after test driving a Tesla Model 3 a few weeks ago. I know, I know...apples/oranges. But seriously that Musk dude is ahead of his time. Anxious to see what a Tesla truck is going do.
Excellent video, as usual! I've always loved Toyota's 5.7L V8. But it is far past time for Toyota to make significant improvements to the truck. The fuel economy is atrocious, interior is dated, and far behind the tech race. Yes, it is as reliable as the sun is sure to rise tomorrow. But that isn't enough nowadays against the Big 3.
I disagree. Reliability is enough. I love ford Styling, more than my Tundra. I bought a Tundra because I want a truck that will last me, 10, 15, maybe 20 years. I know my Tundra will last. I had a Ford before, never again - turned out to be a major P.O.S. Reliability wins over everything else as far as I am concerned.
Exactly. For me the reliability is not just about money. Yes it is, I don't want to be throwing good cash at repairs that can be easily avoided by NOT buying a Ford! But It is also about safety in knowing that my family won't be stranded road side because of some stupid breakdown. Personally I have never had a Toyota leave me stranded. Ever. When it comes to Ford I have several times. Three with my last ford F250 (two sparkplugs ejected from the motor, and once a broken brake line). With previous fords I have had blown engines and transmissions. I will never EVER own another Ford again. I don't care how much tech they have. Ford invests in tech, not reliability. Toyota invests in Reliability and less on tech. Works for me.
So you would rather have the latest in tech but sacrifice reliability? What a dumb comment. Reliability is number one, that's why Chevy got a bail out.
My tundra has 3.09 in rear, didnt consider mpg as I favor towing reliability and simplicity if things go south over extra mpg and gadgets that are outdated in 6 months. The interior could be updated though I agree, the few times I get all the mud out it does look a bit dated.
I bought a new Tundra each time because...wait for it...I wanted a different truck. My first one was an access cab. The kids got bigger so I needed more room for them in the back. I took my 2006 in for service and my wife encouraged me to look at the 2015. That means I had my second Tundra for 9 years. I didn't need a new truck, I simply wanted to upgrade. Additionally, I could have gotten a Ford F150 cheaper than what I paid for my Tundra with my employer discount. Although I don't work for Ford they offer employee at my company a discount. Even with that financial incentive I still chose the more reliable truck. Now that you know the facts you should sleep a little better.
I really like this truck, especially the 1794. I cant wait to see a redesign, hopefully for 2020! I am a Chevy fan but this is a great one as well. If I work for my dealer as a technician, maybe I can get a good deal on one of these.
Exactly. So many clueless morons drink the Toyota Koolaid and think that just because it has a Toyota badge on it, that it'll definitely go 1 million miles. I bought a 2nd gen Tundra believing it and I was burned big time. It ended up being a piece of shit.
I still like how the Tundra looks on the outside and have no problem with it not having all the latest tech. The problem is Toyota has it priced like it is a modern updated truck. And why why why do they have that crazy 2 level floor in the rear with no storage under the rear seat. It is just foam under the carpet.
I think I've narrowed it down to the Tundra and the new Ram. Only if I hit the lottery. Still no LED tail lights on the Tundra after all of these yrs!?
Needs a power running board and a assist grip on that pillar. If Toyota re-engineer that interior and dash controls. Up that fuel mileage. Put storage inserts under that back seats and slightly more. I guarantee GM will be a memory.
Truth. I’m shocked at the lack of innovation out or Toyota. Personally traded a 16 Tacoma for an f250. The Tacoma is not for towing at all in any way. I personally hate the seats on both Toyota trucks. I bought my dream truck and hated it.
u traded your Tacoma with a F250? if anyone is making a miserable comparison its you. your broad shoulders or the need for towing capacity was already not a good choice when u bought tacoma. 50k on tundra platinum with a 4 by 4, i can live with that vs the miserable ford or chevy marking with similar model at 64K. One lasts A While the others, Found On Roadside Daily.
Okay let’s break this down. My f250 will tow 18000 pounds. It was $50k. A tundra can almost kinda pull 10k and it’s 50k? F250 had major upgrades like a bigger turbo and new interior/exterior styling. If you pay 50k for a new tundra you’re just a fucking moron. They haven’t changed in over 8 years. It’s the same old. It’s uncomfortable and stiff and honestly compared to all the turbo v8s the tundra is slow and under powered for its size. It’s a truck for people who kinda need a truck.
PT guy, I sure can I owned one bought it new. I had trouble with the auto locking hubs,it had a door leak that was never fixed,it got very poor gas mileage.Seats sucked,I keep it for three months and traded it for a GMC.Sorry if my comment offended you it was a little crass.

luxury car. Poor comparative gas mileage…. So what! I have other vehicles to
drive if that’s an important issue to me on that particular day. Being in my
60s, it’s reassuring to know that this could be the last truck I would NEED to
buy.
How do I know this isn’t a review from 12 years ago that you remastered the audio? It’s the same truck
Awesome video ty for sharing this, Gotta love are Tundras 😆💙👍😊...
I'm getting this truck, beautiful! Looked at one before this review.
Really happy with my '19 crewmax limited. Two must adds are the drivers side grab handle and front LED turns.
I own a 2016 SR5 4X4, gas mileage is about 14mpg, got the 5.7, love the power availability. My biggest complaint is that the bolts that hold the bed on are raised. when i slide my 5 gal buckets and tools into the bed they hang up. the buckets sometimes turn over. of course most people aren't going to haul tools, ladders, and buckets. My truck is a rolling tool box, the back seats will never go down, full of tools! The bed has a factory spray in coating, maybe that's why. I realize most people don't work out of their trucks. Except for that , I love it! I like that it doesn't have a lot of computer crap on it!
Thanks for the review , was looking forward to your coverage of Toyota trucks. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks! The Tacoma should also be out in the next month!
You should do a review on the SR5 it's the most common in use today.
I own one with the SX package love 😍 it.😎👍💯

A CD is a disc, sort of like a DVD but no screen or images just sound. Its for your radio.
Toyota has a history for reusing the same engine designs for decades. In order to not compromise on reliability and quality, they reuse the same engine designs and make small increment changes to them. If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's where Kaizen comes in "Continuous Improvement which is one of Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 5th Points. Other manufactures redesign a whole new engine each time a new model comes out and have to deal with reliability issues on a new engine design. The 1nz-fe engine is one of Toyota's oldest engines still in production today that was designed in 1997 still used in the late model Prius C. That's why Toyota's are made to last. Dr. Deming is the man behind Toyota and Japanese Quality Control.
Great review and well done on explaining everything about this truck excellent video keep up the good work making me want to buy one of these trucks
Thanks!
Great video guys. In Canada, the Platinum comes standard with moon roof, and bed liner. Just a few differences I noticed.
King of trucks, enough said.
That's really not a truck, unless it goes ip against the Honda Ridgeline.
Could you show the remote start, Android Auto or how the smartphone app connects with this truck?
It doesn't have those things haha
On the back of the center console says there's a 12v power outlet then says but no charging port?🤔 What does he think it's for? Some devices don't use a USB and if they do, just buy an adapter. Would be nice if they had both on there though.
I feel that this truck is BUILT TO LAST rather than built to sell vs the competition. Probably explains why its outdated but its reputation is the best through all those years. “Long lived the King”.
I drive a 2007 model year, and I have to tell you this truck is bullet proof, I have almost 300k miles on it and it's running like new. I drove a silverado and a f150 same year and both feel like they are falling apart.
nice job fellas very in depth vid
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
08 crewmax here. 157k miles. Brakes, battery, oil changes, tires, wipers only things replaced. Never, ever has something broke on it. I am a GM guy. Not GM, Ford, or Ram can compare to the Tundra in reliability or comfort. City gas mileage not great but highway is 18mpg. Ecoshit fan boys, your shit does NOT get any better highway and only 2-3 mpg better in city.
Put the dope down sweetie!
@@brettvicknair9512 sounds like you a brokeback Ford boy
@@doofusgilmore7164 You entitled to YOUR opinion- you know what they say about opinions don't you? - you and ya 14mpg toyo along with ya opinion means NOTHING -

Security Guy every car/truck i see stranded on the side of the road are damn fords .. enough said lol
Hi, I just got me a 2019 Toyota Tundra and I'm loving it but does this model come with car play?
Unfortunately it does not. But they are adding it for 2020, so I could become available as an update
Car Confections hi-so when they update I can install it on my 2019?
@@veronicaserrato9827 it depends on what Toyota decides to do. Some automaker will not bring updates to already sold vehicles, others will make them available to purchase and others still as a free update. Toyota hasn't announced what they are going to do yet
Car Confections oh I see thanks
Nothing like Toyota,Nissan,GMC and Mercedes tundra is an amazingly comfortable vehicle we had two nothing like it,Ford f-150 is an aluminium crap in front of it the v8 engine sound is music for ears.Toyota tundra,2019 Dodge Ram and Chevy Silverado are the best looking trucks.
Ive always liked these trucks ,reliable and strong . I looked at a new one 5 years ago and it appears nothing has changed . Which tells me its a tried and proven design . The fuel economy ill admit was a leading factor in not choosing this truck. Plus i needed regular towing over 13000 lbs so i waited and held on to my tacoma/and my 5.3 chevy 1/2 ton . untill i ended up choosing a 2017 ram 2500 megacab cummins 4x4 laramie long horn. I get 20 mpg it is more expensive but the comfort/power/longevity is what i was after . I imagine someday they will have something comparable
I read through a lot of the comments and what people are saying is "I know it looks old, out dated, plain, boring and no bells or whistles but when I turn the key it starts"
Is there any trim level that offers locking rear differential and crawl control or is it just reserved for the Tacoma? The review you did was excellent. I wonder about reliability..is it on par with the competition or is it near the top in quality like many other Toyota products? Is there any known issues or flaws with the Tundra?
I'm not a fan of luxurious vehicles but to me this is plenty of luxury for me. And I didn't say it as a bad thing either. I think this is very beautiful both exterior and interior. I just wish I could afford one of these. If I had the money I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I actually used to work for the assembly plant in San Antonio Texas.
replaced my 2008 Tundra ( Which I loved!) with a new 2018 and what a huge disappointment!
Too many issues to mention them all and some downgrades. Only upgrade was the electronics which are problematic at times.
Dont expect much out of this new truck and you'll be happy, I am looking forward to getting rid of mine.
Don't know what I will buy next, if it is going to be another Tundra, there will need to be huge improvements.
It's simple, nothing complicated or fancy and spacious. I love it. Looking forward on owning a truck one day.
Did I mention I love leather interior.😁😁
Question I got to ask you does it have a locking rear diff
Do you know if the Tundra comes with a feature where you can leave truck running with A/C on and lock the truck up. I ask because we like to travel with our dog. It’s nice to be able to go eat at a restaurant while dog stays safe and cool in the truck. Does Toyota offer this option?
Since the Tundra comes with two physical keys, you should be able to leave one in the ignition, then lock the truck and bring the second key with you
Looking at buying a used tundra platinum or 1794, do they have genuine leather or that fake leather?
It is real leather
@@CarConfections thanks for replying
Hi great video I have a question I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra SR5 and I want to keep it at least 2 more years and then trade it for a Toyota 4Runner what do you think 🤔
Thanks! If that's what you want to do, then why not? The 4Runner might also be redesigned by then
My 2001 Suburban leaks like a sieve and is a rattle trap, and my 1994 Sierra 1500 leaked from day one until I sold it after 150k miles. Have 350K on my 2001 2wd Tundra w/4.8L. Doesn't leak or burn oil and still solid and smooth, even though the last 50K was by two teen drivers. Just basic maintenance. My only complaint has been the timing belt replacements every 90K or so, which I believe the new ones don't need. No need to explain what my next truck will be.
Great video!!! Great review!!! 👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thank ya! Happy Thanksgiving!
More American than all other trucks. FACT!!!!
Toyota is smart and sticks to true tried and tested technology. New technology means planned obsolescence, more things that can go wrong that turns cars into money pits. Toyota has a history for reusing the same engine designs for decades. In order to not compromise on reliability and quality, they reuse the same engine designs and make small increment changes to them. If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's where Kaizen comes in "Continuous Improvement which is one of Dr. W Edwards Deming's 5th Points.

Dr. Deming is the man behind Toyota and Japanese Quality Control.
Except for the american workers that build it, the american workers that clean the bathrooms at the plant, the american companies that supply the frame, the axles, the transfer case and a number of other parts, etc Who gives a shit were the "profits" go back to, a handful of executives are not what drive's the economy, the hundreds of blue collar workers on the ground floor are. Maybe you need to educate your self.
Facts!!!!
Pearl Harbor. That’s all I have to say.
The big three employ more workers here in America than the Japanese companies combined.
just my opinion
looks like not much changed but I still like it
Quality content.
How does it use fuel?
Really cool truck!
Toyota is a legend.
Yolphus wrong Toyota sucks
Test drove a Tundra SR5 version yesterday because my 2006 TACOMA is hitting 250k miles. Every vehicle interior seems archaic after test driving a Tesla Model 3 a few weeks ago. I know, I know...apples/oranges. But seriously that Musk dude is ahead of his time. Anxious to see what a Tesla truck is going do.
Excellent video, as usual! I've always loved Toyota's 5.7L V8. But it is far past time for Toyota to make significant improvements to the truck. The fuel economy is atrocious, interior is dated, and far behind the tech race.
Yes, it is as reliable as the sun is sure to rise tomorrow. But that isn't enough nowadays against the Big 3.
I disagree. Reliability is enough. I love ford Styling, more than my Tundra. I bought a Tundra because I want a truck that will last me, 10, 15, maybe 20 years. I know my Tundra will last. I had a Ford before, never again - turned out to be a major P.O.S.
Reliability wins over everything else as far as I am concerned.
It is more than enough for the financially responsible
Exactly. For me the reliability is not just about money. Yes it is, I don't want to be throwing good cash at repairs that can be easily avoided by NOT buying a Ford! But It is also about safety in knowing that my family won't be stranded road side because of some stupid breakdown.
Personally I have never had a Toyota leave me stranded. Ever. When it comes to Ford I have several times. Three with my last ford F250 (two sparkplugs ejected from the motor, and once a broken brake line). With previous fords I have had blown engines and transmissions.
I will never EVER own another Ford again. I don't care how much tech they have. Ford invests in tech, not reliability. Toyota invests in Reliability and less on tech. Works for me.
So you would rather have the latest in tech but sacrifice reliability? What a dumb comment. Reliability is number one, that's why Chevy got a bail out.
My tundra has 3.09 in rear, didnt consider mpg as I favor towing reliability and simplicity if things go south over extra mpg and gadgets that are outdated in 6 months. The interior could be updated though I agree, the few times I get all the mud out it does look a bit dated.
Wood accents in the platinum would be such a nice touch
Im sitting here im my living room looking at the monthly payment thinking to myself did i just really do this 😂😂
Can you give us an idea of the price for each trim level?
Pricing information is covered at 20:35 in the video. Thanks for watching!
I bought a new Tundra each time because...wait for it...I wanted a different truck. My first one was an access cab. The kids got bigger so I needed more room for them in the back. I took my 2006 in for service and my wife encouraged me to look at the 2015. That means I had my second Tundra for 9 years. I didn't need a new truck, I simply wanted to upgrade. Additionally, I could have gotten a Ford F150 cheaper than what I paid for my Tundra with my employer discount. Although I don't work for Ford they offer employee at my company a discount. Even with that financial incentive I still chose the more reliable truck. Now that you know the facts you should sleep a little better.
Great video!👍😎
Thanks!
What is so outdated about this truck ? It looks fully loaded ! Plus the fit and finish is best.
thank you! for the info!
You're welcome! Happy New Year!
I really like this truck, especially the 1794. I cant wait to see a redesign, hopefully for 2020! I am a Chevy fan but this is a great one as well. If I work for my dealer as a technician, maybe I can get a good deal on one of these.
Hey they did a redesign haha
Toyota products are built to last. Toyota products are known for quality,reliability and durability.Keep it going Toyota !
Notice the million mile Tundra was a 4.7 Liter engine,not sure if there more high mileage Tundras with the larger engine.
Exactly. So many clueless morons drink the Toyota Koolaid and think that just because it has a Toyota badge on it, that it'll definitely go 1 million miles. I bought a 2nd gen Tundra believing it and I was burned big time. It ended up being a piece of shit.
I still like how the Tundra looks on the outside and have no problem with it not having all the latest tech. The problem is Toyota has it priced like it is a modern updated truck. And why why why do they have that crazy 2 level floor in the rear with no storage under the rear seat. It is just foam under the carpet.
Go here and get the under seat storage. I have them in my 2015 Tundra and they are great.

Dated for sure. I wonder if Toyota discounts like the others do.
New technology means planned obsolescence, more things that can go wrong that turns cars into money pits.
Nice review, Gentlemen. Thank You.
Glad you enjoyed!
Always loved how these looked on the outside, but that interior... I would be constantly wishing I'd gone for the Ram.
When the next generation will come out ?
2yrs give or take.
Hello, Could you help me with a link to buy a Navigation SD Card for the Toyota Yaris IA. Thanks
i love toyotas but this truck has to be my favorite truck
This model is bullet proof?
I think I've narrowed it down to the Tundra and the new Ram. Only if I hit the lottery. Still no LED tail lights on the Tundra after all of these yrs!?
I really hope they start updating the inside.
Is this Tundra a Turd, I mean is it a Trd?
Needs a power running board and a assist grip on that pillar. If Toyota re-engineer that interior and dash controls. Up that fuel mileage. Put storage inserts under that back seats and slightly more. I guarantee GM will be a memory.
IMPRESSIVE Truck.
Just wish it had a V-6 engine.
THANKS for the Video.
Moon roof comes with sport and off road PKG on SR5
What color is it? good vid
Thanks! The color is called Smoked Mesquite
@@CarConfections Perfect I love it! You have the best most detailed vids.
Thank you! We appreciate that!
Great review.
Thanks!
Is that a 2019 or 2008 can't tell 😂😂
Jesus I’m a Toyota guy myself, but it was just a joke. You people need to settle down.
Truth. I’m shocked at the lack of innovation out or Toyota. Personally traded a 16 Tacoma for an f250. The Tacoma is not for towing at all in any way. I personally hate the seats on both Toyota trucks. I bought my dream truck and hated it.
I have broad shoulders so the Tacoma ended up feeling really cramped.
u traded your Tacoma with a F250? if anyone is making a miserable comparison its you. your broad shoulders or the need for towing capacity was already not a good choice when u bought tacoma. 50k on tundra platinum with a 4 by 4, i can live with that vs the miserable ford or chevy marking with similar model at 64K. One lasts A While the others, Found On Roadside Daily.
Okay let’s break this down. My f250 will tow 18000 pounds. It was $50k. A tundra can almost kinda pull 10k and it’s 50k? F250 had major upgrades like a bigger turbo and new interior/exterior styling. If you pay 50k for a new tundra you’re just a fucking moron. They haven’t changed in over 8 years. It’s the same old. It’s uncomfortable and stiff and honestly compared to all the turbo v8s the tundra is slow and under powered for its size. It’s a truck for people who kinda need a truck.
Can you review the new ZR2
Can it sit 6 people?
In the lower trims, yes
Price of the car
great truck ...beautiful paint!!
Nice video!
PT guy, I sure can I owned one bought it new. I had trouble with the auto locking hubs,it had a door leak that was never fixed,it got very poor gas mileage.Seats sucked,I keep it for three months and traded it for a GMC.Sorry if
my comment offended you it was a little crass.
Still need to fix that air tube problem.
Nice review
Thanks!
That back power window was fucking dope
No regular cabs?!
Not at all
SR5 crewcabs' rear window rolls all the way down as well! Source: I have one!
LOL sorry to hear that. Such an overrated, rust rotting piece of junk. I had one and I'm glad I got rid of that junk years ago.
Very nice
Toyota is probably the most reliable car in the world
Toyota are pieces of shit in the US. They slowly replaced anything decent with cheaper less reliable junk.
hochhaul Lol. Get away from the keyboard
Toyota the BEST Trucks, SUVs and cars !
If by best you mean best at rust rotting in the shortest amount of time, then you would be correct.
