2014 Toyota Tundra Review

- Toyota knows the full-size pickup truck market is a tough one to penetrate and is a segment still dominated by the Big 3 from Detroit - Silverado, F150 & RAM. The refreshed 2014 Tundra adds a luxury model, updated interior and refined exterior.
To all haters out there.I had ford,chevy and nissan pick ups and now I own a tundra pick upand never been happier.I'm a contractor and load pallets of tile,marble and granite even 2 slabs of granite at a time and you can definately feel the power and the way it handels love it.
The toyota tundras actually made more in the us than any other truck right now, and its put together here in san antonio texas. I'm a gm guy but I think this truck is pretty badass.
drove my 2003 tundra for 5 years mistreating it pulling heavy loads serious off-roading getting firewood and gold prospecting many long trips it never let me down four-wheel drive system always works flawlessly unlike the Chevys I've had. the check engine light came on once in those five years and this is a over 15 year old truck it was a bad gas cap. I'm going to pick up a newer Tundra this weekend! 😎
Ever wonder why Toyota never "needs" to put together videos to show their vehicles are great while demeaning the other brands vehicles? Ever wonder why Ford/Chrysler/GM are always having to show people that other brands suck and their product is the only right product to buy? It's easy. Toyotas reliability, dependability, and capability is in their reputation based off real world results.
i couldn't have said it any better.
Too bad they haven't redesign their trucks in decades. You ever wonder why you don't see Toyota work trucks in government facilities or in constructions? yeah...though so.
Dee Jay lol decades? That's plural, so atleast 2 decades... that's atleast 24 years... you're an idiot, I can already tell... The 1st gen tundra was introduced in 1999-2006. The second gen Tundra was introduced in 2007-2013 and lastly, The 2014+ tundra.
You can take a 80 toyota with the 22r and it's better than what GM and ford makes today.
Thamac15 well said
Proven reliability and dependability!
Love mine, 186,000 miles and going strong. never any issues.
+Jivan Gill I have 196, 000 miles on it now. they are bullet proof and you won't regret getting one.
What year do you have ? Also what kind of parts have you had to replace ?
My 2014 Tundra 2 wheel drive SR5 double cab has been nothing short of fantastic. It drives smooth as glass down the highway at 80 mph. There are no squeaks or rattles in the cab or elsewhere. The seats are built for comfort and adjustable lumbar support is standard equipment. It has plenty of power and the brakes are great. The only problem I've encountered thus far was the release cable for the fold up back seat needed to be replaced, which the dealer covered under warranty.
I'm now at 19k miles and I'm ecstatic that I chose this truck over any other brand. I test drove a 2014 Ram, but it had a shimmy in the steering wheel at 45mph and above, and so did the 2013 Ram that I test drove. That immediately turned me off to Ram. I couldn't afford the Chevy because it was $10k more than the Tundra, and the Silverado had fewer features at that price. And, now that I read all the horror stories of 2014 Silverado owners regarding the vibration caused by Cylinder Deactivation, I'm even happier I chose the Tundra.
I've owned Ford pickups and Chevy pickups in the past and I can honestly say that the Tundra has exceeded all of my expectations. I average 13-14mpg in the city and 16-18mpg on the highway, but that's because I have the factory tow package which included the lower geared rear-end. Otherwise I would probably squeak out a few more MPG's
I can't say enough good things about this truck. If you're in the market for a new truck, you should at least give it a test drive. I'm sold on Toyota quality.
Andrew Relf I forgot to mention that it's a 5.7 liter, and it comes from the factory with Mobil 1, which is what I use at every oil change, so I expect many trouble free years from this motor.
Right now tundra has taken a lead on the market. The 5.7 can haul pretty damn good for a gasser. Works and handles like dodge 6.2 hemi. Tundra is also ultra reliable, and its more american, made in texas with u.s. materials, 95% of profits stay here. Tundras got EVERYTHING going for it.
4:46 You can tell the truck frame hit the second bump pretty hard. I bet that was fun.
i like this guy, i'd buy a car from him, seems like an honest trust worthy guy.
Tundra has really grown on me over the past year and they are at the same level as the other 3 trucks.
Got almost 200,000 miles on my '01 tundra and still runs like clockwork.
Toyota in general makes a good product. I have owned a 2008 Tundra since new though and can't say I would buy one again based on one major design flaw. Alternator placement. I have gone through 3 in the last 6 years. Performed all labor myself rather than paying the $1400! dealer quote each time. It gets eaten by water, salt, dirt, mud. You shouldn't take it off road, or out on a salty winter road. The alternator sits near the bottom of the engine by the passenger wheel well and gets blasted. I have 90,000 miles on mine. If Toyota paid to fix it every time, recalled it, or moved the location to the top I may buy another. But this is just crazy!
Excellent review , thanks , keep them coming
F150 Ecoboost gone, hello 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7 double cab with std. bed, nice truck. Test drove the 1794, nice ride and sold me on the 5.7, should be that much more fun with the cab configuration that suits my requirements, look forward to getting into the Tundra.
whether u like toyota or not, u gotta realize that they swung for the fences with this truck. im a GM guy all the way, but ive driven one of these, and it was very very nice.
Awesome review, the Tundra might be my next truck but i'll run my Titan down until she has no more left.
I love the toyota tundra. They really went in on the TRD pro edition
Suggestion (please don't take it the wrong way), next time say "Toyota listened to the customers suggestions and improved upon them", instead of "Toyota listed to the customers complaints". Kind of sounds negative in a review. Sound a little more positive. Great informative review with excellent graphics & video footage. Keep it up
Great video! I like the view of the video contents on the right.
Really good review. I like the more refined Land Cruiser look Toyota gave it.
got one in december love my 1794 edition!
Love your review a lot, i will replace my 08 to this 14 soon.
Great review!
I own and build tundras. Did anybody notice 16/20 mpg?!! More like 12/16. Other than that I love my 2016 limited
i own a 2015 tundra limited and the reason why this is my 2nd tundra because with the first one never had no break downs or any mechanical issues
YUP, that's the MPG that I get!
4:50 they banged the frame pretty good on that one.
lmao that shit hurt
I use these trucks for my business they never break down
We hope all of the full-size trucks will be offered in non-HD diesel version like the RAM 1500. There are no drawbacks to this technology which is why if we were buying a non-Heavy Duty truck today, the RAM1500 Diesel would be #1 on the list. We also can't wait for the Nissan Titan Diesel.
Love the tundra, the back end looks great, they just need to change the front end a bit.
We've had plenty of negative reviews. For example, the Chevy Colorado, Chrysler 200 and Buick Regal GS. And please check out the Acura ILX video we did for Autobytel.
Final point is that most reviewers are afraid to say negative things about these cars; we're not.
Great review!!!!! WHERE U GUYS BEEN
Awesome 👍 👍 2014 Toyota Tundra review and by the way I subscribe to your UA-cam Channel.
Those "Vortex Generators" are brilliant! I bet they add at least 4 or 5 MPG!
LOL! Yea I caught that too.
Not sure if anyone else noticed, but I loved the part when he’s beside the tire going on about the virtues of the Michelin LTX/AT2.. beside what is clearly not a Michelin LTX/AT2. It gave me a laugh at least 😂
Looks like a decent truck though, and I really enjoy your other reviews.
I like your review.
Are you serious? First of all, we had less than 8 hours to hear presentations on 2 vehicles (4Runner & Tundra). Second, there were multiple driving drills such as towing, off-road, on-road and hauling. Third and most importantly, take a look at other reviews out there. We will always give you our opinion and with regards to the Tundra, it's a damn good truck and deserves to be on shopping lists and it really comes down to pricing, even thought truck buyers are extremely brand loyal.
If I go to war...I want a Tundra! no questions.
What Model of oakley's is that?
None of the big trucks have it all. Each has some pros and cons. Some trucks are technically better but don't do much for you emotionally or they don't hold up over time. And some trucks come alive with just a few mods like wheels/tires, and suspension tweaks. Buy what you like and don't worry so much about what others buy.
no one takes tundra seriously it just doesnt cut out for a truck
tundras last way longer than any other trucks in its class, im trading my dodge for one
Who gives a flying monkey if the tundra is dead last in sales? They sell over 9million vehicles annually to Ford's 2.5 million. The Tacoma, however, overtook everybody in the midsize truck market. The total sales is nothing for ford to be bragging about. A large portion is government agencies buying them anyway, the Ford's, because they buy in bulk, thus getting them much cheaper. Furthermore, Toyota ranks higher in dependability overall and higher in consumer/customer demand. And when you are as big as Toyota, and GM even, its hard to be big and be on top. But they both manage that very well considering how well they do. A very large portion of Ford's sold, especially the F150, are fleet vehicles...believe me, they honestly are keeping our local garages here in business. One of our F150 trucks is on its third engine and second transmission at 60,000 miles. I gain nothing by telling you this. I'm just stating the truth as I've seen it. Buy a Toyota or a GM if you are serious about dependability. I even have to say to buy a Dodge over a ford, as hard as that is for me to say. Look up the numbers yourself.
That's 9 million worldwide... Not just in the USA.
proveyoself 9 million is still 9 million. 2.5 million is still 2.5 million.
Plot Dot in 2014 Toyota overtook every manufacturer with 10.23 million vehicles sold worldwide while Ford only sold 5.9 million worldwide
I like the rest of the truck but the front makes me sick. I do like the new tailgate. When you look at the interior of this truck you can tell who they are using as their benchmark (ford). Much needed interior upgrade looks good. Needed more change though where is the new engine?
I like the way you create a complete review for this truck, except when you smoothly slipped thru the mpg, by far this is the least fuel efficient truck of its class, dodge is getting even closer to 30mpg followed by ford followed by chevy, which is still around the low 20s mpg, when tundra has their mpg rated in the low teens. Other than that, its a pretty good truck.
Nonsense. Only when comparing dissimilar vehicles. Reviews of *similar vehicles* (engines, trim levels, etc) reveal an only 2 mpg real-world difference between the big four trucks, dropping to only a few percentage points when towing or hauling. Even Ford's expensive Ecoboost F150 could only achieve 22.8 mpg highway versus Tundra's 17.3, dropping to 16.3 mpg versus 15.8 mpg city (11.4 v. 10.5 towing). Personally, I prefer the Tundra's larger V8.
I've been taking a look at the other car reviewers out there (for the past 3-4 years ). That's why I say that you are all about positive and not a single negative about all the cars you "review". I'm not comparing you with motortrend or autocar or autoexpress, or any well known brand. They have the budget to do much better. But, still. Take a look at Driven car reviews, XCar Films or even Carbuyer. Well structured reviews with both negatives and positives.
0 to 60 in 9.0 yeah right..... more like low to high 6 second range..... all the stats are false... I have an 07 tundra that takes about 6.6 seconds to go 0 to 60
Waiting.for this in the comments my 2011 0-60 in 6.3seconds
Fuel economy is on par with a h2 maybe
Actually we haven't tested the RAM. Feel free to contact Chrysler and get us one to review.
I would love to see Toyota introduce a diesel version.
Aside from the below average fuel economy for a pick-up, this truck is well worth that price.
That hood is a pedestrian killer.
BLT just the J walkers
Nice Truck
No diesel?
I like these trucks because of their vent they look mad which makes them look tough just like the ford F 150
Toyota best truck outthere
Ford invented the vehicle. Toyota perfected it...
Well you know what I meant.
I just feel that Toyota has the best truck on the road no reason to get all aggravated just my opinion.
Wildman113
They are buying THE American truck. You, along with the supposed 800,000 others are buying trucks that might be "made" (assembled) in America but the parts are from Mexico, Canada, and Brazil and who says the workers at Ford are American?
Wildman113
Then explain to me why I see more Ford's broken down than any other vehicle, besides Dodge.
Well the company's can say what they want but what you see in real life is the real deal. Not my fault Dodge's are crap, Ford's break down and Chevy's catch fire when idling.
My only complaint is no lockers on the 4x4s and fuel economy could be better
I think Toyota should spread the Tundra sales world wide americans are not worth this truck all they see is there own brands
i work at a toyota dealership and I'm gonna have to disagree with the 9 second 0-60 time i think its a bit quicker than that
What's your concern with the off-road driving? The course was laid out by Toyota and they instructed is where to drive. They were trying to prove how tough their Tundra is, especially driving over logs. Furthermore, that video was their driver....not us. That was a B-Roll shot they provided.
This was a Rubicon rated trail and it was a lot of fun. 99% of truck owners will never come close to testing their vehicle the way we tested this Tundra.
I want a Toyota tundra
What's the difference between tow and haul?
Haul over 2000 lb and tow over 10000 lb
I don't get it
Towing refers to a separate vehicle such as a boat or a trailer. Haul refers to what goes into the bed of the truck.
those arent michelin LTX at/2 tires... and they were not designed specifically for the tundra.
He said that the nissan titan was a old truck?? How is it an old truck? Nissan changed a lot of things in the truck like they changed the front grill and bumper and headlights and the rear tailgate and the interior they changed the cluster and navigation unit and steering wheel I think the titan is better looking then the tundra that's my personal opinion
Your doing a good review but the rear seat should go into the floor not up great job u no your truck
My first choice for a truck would be a tundra if i had the money. But remember you get what you pay for
good video.
Still leaning towards a Chevy if I wanted a full size truck. Given that I want a compact truck I am waiting to see what Chevy has to offer with their new Colorado in 2014.
Uhm not reliable for a work truck? I have an 02 Tundra with the 3.4L V6 and that thing will haul ass with my landscape trailer! I am a damn proud owner of a Toyota no doubt if i buy a new truck i will check out Ford and Dodge but they will struggle as Toyota set the bar for me. Great review and a BADASS truck. TOYOTA>>>>>> the competion
4:52 fak dude are you stupid
Expect to see more reviews now that all of the new car launches are done. If there is a particular (attainable) vehicle you want reviewed, please let us know. We are also starting to do videos for LeftLaneNews so you can find more of our reviews there. Thanks for the support!
Here's just one thing that makes me smile about the Tundra and the F150. The Tundra has 0% of it's parts content from China. The f150,…well I'll let you look that up yourself. Ford in general is a huge Chinese supporter. My 2012 mustang 5.0 has the best (facetiously speaking) chinese built transmission money can buy! lol
You may want to look that up. Ford now offers the most U.S. parts
Negative ghost rider. They offer the most Canadian/U.S parts content. However, "most" is used with a grain of salt since it's 75% just like the Tundra.
Thamac15 I will take 75% and most of the profits staying in the states, unlike toyota
Maybe a good idea to take your sunglasses off when onscreen.
He has to look bad ass.
My next truck. YOU can beat Toyota reliability. I just saw a new Ford truck on side of the road broken down. I have had several Toyota and Lexus vehicles and none of them have left me on the road broken down.
toyota is the best.
Great review as always thanks....and I will choose that anytime over Ford, Chrysler, and Dodge.
"Better fuel economy" really?
Also, the earlier double cabs had tip up rear seats. the cremax rear seat slid and reclined. so you lose that feature with the new one. I wish this dude would have all the facts and not give partial credit
The host, whatever his name is, makes the truck look small.
I remember the T100.
Love the truck, but don't give a truck a car feeling. They could have changed the ride height by maybe three inches. It seems they took the 07 model gave it a different body style. It still remains with Ford and Chevy.
This is what happens when you Forget everything we would be saying 2+2=?
tundra will be mine
@william hatfield toyota's rusty frames were actualy made by DANA which is a US company. they made box frames and they used to rust real bad so DANA had to pay toyota 25 million dollars and toyota gave the tacome (which were the trucks affected) the choice to either get a new frame or they bought your truck and gave you a new one. so the rusty frames was DANA's fault (again US and makes parts for dodge) and toyota DID do something about it...
Tired of seeing truck companies bash on other truck companies. its just like political commercials, you never see anyone focus on what they will do for the country rather they point fingers at each other. honestly guys, if you like a truck buy it, and for those of you that think toyota ans other imports will take over ford dodge and chevy in the truck game, think again. people are always going to buy American, if I recall tundras still dont sell as well as the big three so why do I see all of this hate towards Toyota?
lol at 4:45 wrecking the chassis on those new trucks guys
And you wonder why GM and Ford headed 90% of full size pick up truck and Toyota has not even made a dent.
Here are the actual numbers according to RL Polk for 2014: Ford F-Series 753,851 (36.7%), Chevrolet Silverado 529,755 (25.8%), Ram 439,789 (21.4%), GMC Sierra 211,833 (10.3%)and Toyota Tundra 118,493 (5.8%). Ford & GM combined for 72.8%. Keep in mind that over 20% of Ford, GM & Ram are fleet sales to large companies and government agencies.
Dee Jay your 90% statement lmao
Dee Jay you do know world wide Toyota dominates right..? There is a world outside the u.s you genius.
THE ASS ON THIS TRUCK! BLACK WITH WIDE TIRES OMG
I purchased a brand new 2014 trd dbl in sept of 2014. Not the quality or service you'd expect from toyota. When i was ready to pick the truck up from the dealer, it was covered in glue from the plastic wrap not cleaned properly. I had to forcefully remove the salesman's hand from the truck when i noticed he was using his fingernails as tool to remove the glue. The next weekend it went in for detailing to remove the glue and scratches the sales guy put in with his fingernails. Brakes squealed from the get go, spent the first 5 weekends going back to the dealer watching them throw parts at it and haggling with them and them giving me excuses that they squeal because they are heavy duty, which is bullshit. They ended up replacing half the rotors and all the pads, and the squeal went away. This truck fogs up all winter long or anytime it rains. When you put the defrost on, the drivers side and pass side windows fog, when you switch to the vent the windshield fogs, can't have both going at the same time, its one or the other. My guess is that there is moisture getting in from the weatherstripping through a poor seal or a bad design. The cab has multiple rattles and squeaky sounds when going over bumps and general driving. One came from under the pass side dash that I fixed myself and the other is in the dash somewhere that i can't find. The point is there shouldn't be any issues with a brand new truck. Last issue i have is that when idling especially when its cold the engine has a very noticeable ticking sound, like valves or the belt or something else. It can easily be heard from inside the cab and is rather annoying. In the end I was given a free oil change for my troubles, but that meant nothing to me. I had to take multiple taxis to drop the truck off on the weekends because apparently they "don't do courtesy cars anymore" conveniently after i gave them 45k.
I do like the power the truck has and the transmission shifts beautiful, the price was 45000 cash all in canadian which i thought was reasonable compared to the other big three. Also I love the body style and look of the truck. I didn't mean to begin a whole review but the more i wrote the anger i got especially after reading all the comments about how toyota is so special. Don't get me wrong its a great truck but it has its issues. In conclusion i'd still never buy a ford, but as a true Toyota Tundra owner i have a right to say these things. This is not an opinion but rather proven experiences.
Hey, wanted to know how you fixed that noise under the passenger side dash? I have the same on my 2014. Thanks Oh, and your right that engine ticking is annoying!
how did you fix the noise in the dash? thanks
i added a small piece of cardboard in there as a wedge,
+westernsharpie where at in the dash? thanks man
Autobot or decepticon?
Winter99ize they will. both toyota and nissan is gonne come out with a cummins engine. not sure when for toyota but nissan in 2015
Good review. Tundra is a most reliable, quality made vehicle as one can get in N. America. Too bad the regular cab doesn't get much attention form Toyota though. No smaller box and no luxury-like interior package offered.
Regular cabs are pretty much nonexistent because people thought they needed to buy trucks to use as family cars. So with that vehicle manufacturers really don't care about regular cab models anymore.
William Todd yeah your right. The only regular cab pick up made nowadays that looks pretty good to me is RAM.
jmass89ify I own a 2008 Tundra, and they look really goofy in a regular cab style. I had a 99 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 regular cab a while back. Good truck well up until the dealership touched it then it was on borrowed time after that.
Wrong! The Tundra debuted in 1999.
i thought 3rd gen?
it is the third gen but the second gen of the actual full sized pick up
It's not 16-20 mileage. That is incorrect. 13-17.
that truck bottom out on the jeep trail so how the truck works good , if it bottom out on the trail
2013 tundra way better than 2014
I don't wonder......
starting price 26.000 $ ? OMFG ! i´ll take two ! but in germany you pay 70.000 $ for one.
F-150 is 78% American; while Tundra is 70%. I know this because I just picked up a 2015 Tundra.
F-150 is 38% percent American. the rest is a lot of Mexico and China.
+Andrew Hensley Tundra is 75% Made in Texas. Where did you get u r info?
+Andrew Hensley Ford's claimed percentage is based on parts made in North America (Canada & United States). The Tundra has a higher percentage of parts made strictly in the USA, employing workers here.
