I'm a Ford guy all the way, but you did a good job with the points you made...and ultimately the only person that you have to please is your self. I also think there are no bad trucks out there, but there are trucks I do not like but it doesn't make them bad.
I am not American but I live in the states and I own both Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry. The Ford is more comfortable, very reliable (engine and tranny both going strong) but sucks on gas mileage. The Camry is lighter, again reliable, but not very rooted to the ground but is great on gas. I dont think it is fair to make sweeping statements on any, you need to maintain both, regular oil changes etc l, watch out for noises, don't drive them like racing cars, get small problems fixed on time and you should be golden with any car. My Taurus has 150K miles on it and the Camry has 36K miles on it.
This man got so much more respect from me when he said one of the benefits to him buying this truck is the support it brings to the American people and our economy .
To be clear, these trucks are ASSEMBLED in USA. With parts from overseas vendors. I like Made In USA as well as anyone and I served my country in the Navy. But I will go for automobiles made in JAPAN. When we can make a better, more reliable and sturdy vehicle like the Honda or Toyota, I will gladly buy it.
@@joeschmo7957I have a 4runner but too be fair the ford 3.5 has shown 250k miles. Same with 5.0. 3.5 revised from 2012 as tundra 5.7. But both are reliable and well made. Also was navy. Congrats on getting out.
Yes, im sure if u dont count their fleet and rental (bulk sales), they dont sell nearly as many trucks as toy sells tundras....!! These comments r hillarious!
Last year I bought a 2019 F250 every month I was having a recall the dealer then one at work with me on time or date did I choose it Hass to be third time or the date.. so I went to the Toyota dealer and I got myself a 2020 toyota tundra sr5 crewmax v8 5.7 and I love it I think that was a good decision✅👍👍
I own a 2007 Tundra (for the last 12 years!). I have not had a major repair besides the recalls a few years ago. I tried to tell a good friend of mine not to buy his 2014 F150 but he didn't listen. His truck has been in the repair shop more than I have brought my truck for regular maintenance.... OK I exaggerated a little bit, but you get the picture.
I’ve owned a Ford Lariat 5.4L Crew Cab, Dodge SLT Crew Cab 5.7 Hemi, and a Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L Crew cab prior to determining the Best truck I have owned by a large margin is my Toyota Tundra 5.7L Crew Cab. Build quality is head and shoulders above al others, and depreciation is the least, though I have no plans to sell it....
The only reason I haven't bought a NEW Tundra, is gas economy MPG. They drink as if they are towing. But we own a 04 Tundra that is a proven road warrior.206k on her. I hope 19 or 2020,brings better MPG.
If you are worried bought mpg then shouldn't bought a truck. You should have bought a car If you worry about mpg then it sounds like you cannot afford the gas. Anyone who buys a truck doesn't worry about gas mileage
Why would a truck be different than a car for gas mileage? Toyota has the ability to make it more efficient. Use the direct injection engine from the Lexus LS.
Just another thing to mention-standard across the board on tundras TSS-P for 2018. (Autonomous braking/pre-collision warning, lane departure alert w/ steering assist, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beams)
I purchased a 2017 Tundra last February for all the exact same reasons. I previously owned a Tacoma and wanted bigger for towing. I seriously wanted at V8 Ford but like you got totally frustrated with building what I wanted AND finding it on a dealer lot within 200 miles of my home. I gave up and went with a Tundra because everything I wanted and needed to tow was standard with the truck. I view the "no changes done" to the truck design for many years as a guarantee of continued reliability.
When I started towing a travel trailer I purchased a 2006 Ford F150 with a 5.4. It had 20,000 miles on it. With 89,00 miles on it the differential crapped out at a cost of about 900.00. One month later and on the road to go camping, stopped to fuel up and saw smoke coming out the vents.... three days loss of vacation time, a flatbed ride with the trailer in tow. It was another 3200.00 to have a rebuilt transmission flown in from Oklahoma. While I was at the transmission shop the mechanic told me there was some misfiring with the spark plugs. Come to find out the 5.4 was famous for breaking off one of the spark plugs and usually requiring a head job (2800.00 average). This is with less than 100,00 miles on the Ford. I contacted the dealer to see what spark plug replacement would be and they wouldn't tell me. With that I unloaded the Ford, got smart, and purchased a 2012 Tundra. I now own a 2018 Tundra and will never look back. Tundra is the way to go
Hey Mike. Another Portland guy here. I see this video is almost a year old, but I just purchased a one-owner 2008 Tundra 5.7 Limited TRD with 105,000 actually from the same dealership you purchased yours from. I was looking for awhile for a used model in excellent shape with everything I wanted at a decent price and local, not from Canada as most used 4x4's are. I found this one and was enamored at the value these maintain when taken care of. I spent almost as much as you can get a new F150 for and I actually feel like I got a great deal due to the reliability factor that Toyota always brings. This truck stickered at 44K and change in 2008 and it only depreciated about half of that in ten years!!!! Awesome Awesome truck and I can guarantee you will be able to do the same with that truck in another ten years. Great videos man. -Luke
Dear Mr. dyimike, Nice truck, thank You for purchasing a mostly American MADE product. All the comments, "bench racing" as We then called it. It's mainly they're personal preference. That's all. You Sir did good. Sincerely, Kathleen.
Congrats on the new truck! I've owned Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Nissan, and Toyota trucks. TOYOTA IS THE BEST!!! It is the most American vehicle, it is the most RELIABLE vehicle as well. Best resale value.
I’ve got a 2007 Toyota tundra 170,000 miles no issues change serpentine belt and battery that’s it, I think you made a good choice for what you say you wanted
A few months back I bought a 2020 tundra SX and I got a great deal on it. I had been looking at 2016-2018 tundras beforehand but they seemed so expensive compared to other trucks. I almost ended up buying a 2017 ram because of this but before I signed the paperwork I went to a toyota dealership to look at new tundras just to make sure I couldn't be persuaded. I'm so glad I did because what I found was the 2020 tundras are almost the same price as the 2018's because they depreciate so much less than the other brands. The ram that I was going to buy was $49,000 brand new and was selling for $28,499 at the time which is a huge difference. In contrast the 2018 tundra that I looked at with the same features as the ram was selling for $35,998 and negotiated my brand new 2020 down to $38,000. To me, knowing the difference in resale value between the toyota and the other brands sold me on it big time
Youre right...Good call. Mine is a 2004 4.7 8cyl...Still runs like new...Simple maintenance. Still have all but one original components (Although nothing was wrong with it, I changed the water pump when I did the timing belt)...Still have original alternator, starter, radiator,etc... Great parts, Great truck! Period!
You said it! I want a truck I want it simple. People put down Toyota Tundra because they have not kept up with the “big 3”. I myself just want a truck...no foo foo...just a dang dependable truck gets the job done and doesn’t leave me stranded. My first truck was a Toyota in 81...tried Ford and Chevy both lemons and back to Toyota in 2007. Still driving that 2007 and never anything but a front wheel bearing and regular maintenance. I’m looking to buy my third Toyota truck. Thanks for the honest review.
I have a 2012 tundra with 200k km and a 2017 tahoe with like 40k km people keep talking about reliability like how long its going to last. Thats not the point to be honest its how its going to drive and feels like after a long time toyota still maintains that new car feel even after a very long time thats what makes me really appreciate them
I bought a 2016 tundra crewmax sr5 with the trd 4x4 package with the 38 gallon tank for 40,900 out the door and I googled say I love my truck!!! My father in law went with a f150 and within a couple months regrets it because going off road, he would bottom out the front or hit the back bumper because of the length of the truck!!! I told him to stick with what we know but he wanted a gas saver so now he’s pissed! Lol
I bought my wife a 04 4runner v8 new..It has over 365k miles still running with orginal starter and alternator. The vave covers has never been off..I bought my daughter a 2015 corolla which has been trouble free..( college kid). So you better believe the next vehicle will be another Toyota..Looking at a 14 or newer Tundra limited or platinum TRD.
Nice truck and good luck. I recently bought a F150 over a Tundra. Two reasons 1) I had a Sequoia for 12 years, amazing SUV, but wanted a change 2) F150 scored much better in crash tests.
Tundras and Sequoias are trucks that are simple but will last a very long time. Some may say that they are outdated, yes but the big three trucks Al have too much crap you pay for that you end up not even using it. And then will cause plenty of problems. I love my 2018 sequoia. I don’t need big is screen and touch up everything. I want real buttons that work and I don’t have to wait for the warning messages to turn off so I can turn the heat or AC. Simple and durable. Good choice!!
I heve owned an 07 tundra limited for six years. Just regular maintenance. Has close to 200k miles. Have driven f150s , silverados at same age and mileage and they feel like a 80 yr old versus a 40 yr old tundra;D I still have alot of power
Thanks man. yeah, great job on the interior. I never even thought about that until I saw how nicely laid out everything is. Quality. I'm sold on the tundra.
I bought a 2015 crewcab ( smaller cab), then I traded it in for a 2016 Crewmax , I got 110,000 miles on it and looks and runs perfectly,oil/filter every 5,000 miles, 19mpg highway ( 12 mpg in town) ,( 59 year old fanboy for Toyota!).
I keep my vehicles for a long time so I switched to Toyota a while back . I grew up a ford fan I bought a 03 f-150 new it still run well but it’s rust bucket which I’ll drive till breaks in half lol. Just bought a 2020 Camry it’s a Beautiful car and it feel so solid. When my ford lays down and dies I will buy Toyota pickup next time
I used to have a 2016 Toyota Tundra and I liked it do not make me wrong but it is a big truck I had to put a little stick wood to hold the garage door at the time to pull it in and also to park at any parking lot I trade it in for a 2018 GMC Sierra and I love my truck!!
I owned F150, F100 and rangers and was under the hood or under the truck most of the time. I bought a 2007 new and had one issue with the idler pulley the first year. Never had another issue again. 160,000 miles strong. Love my Tundra SR5
I'm in the market for a new truck, I have driven an older Chevy Silverado and it is time for an upgrade.. As far as sedans I have loved Toyota and have been driving them for about 20 years love the reliability. I will definitely be checking out the Tundra, nice video!
Shotta sorry buddy but you are wrong, Silverados and sierras have some of the worst resale values, I’m a Ford fan but Toyota has a way higher resale value than GM, 3 to 4 year old trucks barely lose value, go look at the price of the Tacoma’s and tundras used. I can buy a Silverado for half price in less than 4 years. They are everywhere for cheap. Ford is a little better on resale but not as much as Toyota. I would never buy a fuel guzzling Toyota that is slower and pulls less than my stock F-150 but still.
Daniel Lawless Fords don’t last as long as Toyotas. Simple. I need reliability, which is why I’m looking at Toyota. Had an F-150. Had issues less than 100k miles. Traded for a Silverado and now losing oil pressure at 105k miles. Such bs.
My uncle has the previous generation Tundra TRD with over 300000 miles and still going. He just changed the shocks. Now lets talk about his Chevrolet Suburban which was a burden. Engine problems, fly wheels failing, fuel lines falling a part, the seats disintegrated, electrical failures, and of repeated trips to the dealership. All that stopped with the Tundra:)
Here are 5 reasons I bought a 2018 Ford F150 Lariat FX4 5.0 V8 Crew Cab: 1. 6.5 bed 2. AWD (including 4-hi and 4-lo) 3. Locking Rear Diff 4. Real Off-Road tires offered from the factory 5. Drivers side grab handle on A-pillar Now, if Tundra would leave the Stone Age and come on into the 21st century and offer the 5 above on the Tundra, I'd buy a Tundra.
My review of my 2015 Tundra Crew max Limited 4wd. Pro's & Con's Pro Best front seat out of all brands, widest and longest. I like flatter seats vs stiff bolsters I like the large knobs, their solid Huge back seat for passengers. Power back window great for air flow with one front window down a little. Very comfortable for elbows, hits on console or door window trim area perfect. Great steering wheel feel. I like the look of the truck, rich looking truck. I have matching Leer fiberglass tonneau. Running boards are nicer flat black. Smooth hwy ride Good fit and finish Help or to make a better Tundra Limited and higher should have a soft touch dash, less hard plastic in door panels & dash trim. Hidden seat bolts and frame. Easier storage and cable connect area under hvac area of console. Under seat storage in back usb outlets for back seat Map lights for back seat Thicker carpet Limited and higher LED headlights now on 2020 along with better gauges Need to 8 speed Toyota has now for better mpg. Real world city is 12-13.5, hwy 16-17.5 mpg. All depends on coasting and how hard you accelerate. Bed step and lighting in the bed Dress up the back end some-plain. Little more stock exhaust burble Rubber dead pedal Locking fuel door With 20's little bouncy with rough roads Room for rear seat to recline some, take out some of the extra leg I'm a picky guy and mainly bought Tundra for the best most comfortable front seat. Also figure Toyota will prove more reliable. 2020 brought the safety gear, bigger infotainment screen, push button start and has the better gauges than my 2015. Still needs better mpg -real 15/20 and overall nicer truck for higher trim levels. Put the Highlander Limited trim level in a Tundra.
I have my Tundra 2012 over 7 years never a single problem congratulations you made the right decision, previously owed Ford 250 and Ford 350 bout Diesel trucks very fue problems and that why I went to Toyota.
I just traded my 05 GMC for a new 2020 Tundra SR5 with and 8ft bed and can't regret it. I looked at GM, Ford and Dodge, test drove them all even did extended full day test drives, none of them felt ad solid as the Tundra. Everything about the truck is positive, shifter movements, buttons everything. The interior is nice, but not extremely busy like a lot of other new truck. Only thing that bugs me if I do keep it, is it being a lexus V8 with the starter under the intake, which is super expensive to replce should it go bad. And my biggest thing.. ALL STEEL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. No aluminum crap strung out all over to reduce weight by 20lbs, no VVT crap to try and get 2mpg out of a V8. Simple, reliable and proven engineering. Everyone rags that the tundra hasnt changed really since like 2008, why should it change of it works?
I recently bought a used 2012 Tundra Platinum. It is older, but still has some nice accessories. I love it! I hate the mpg, but it is an 8 cylinder so it is expected.
You made the right decision in buying a Japanese vehicle. There is a very good reason why Japanese vehicles are superior to American cars. My name is David and I am 52 years old. My father showed me years ago in the 1970s some of his science books on geology. And some of his science books on metallurgy, which is the science of removing steel from rocks and dirt and boulders to be able to make whatever you want. A discovery was made in the 1970s about Japanese steel and it will shock you. It is a scientific fact that it takes a far greater amount of heat over a longer period of time to be able to melt Japanese steel. When this steel cools down it is very hard and tough and lasts a very long time. Vehicle parts breakdown for two reasons, heat and friction. Japanese cars last so long and withstand friction and heat to a much better degree. How do we know this? We know this because it has been scientifically proven that it takes a higher temperature to be able to melt Japanese steel! Thank you for your time.
I was considering this truck until I saw the crash test results from it; it did horribly. Safety is just as important to me as reliability. Until they fix that, it's a no go.
The exterior on that truck is really nice. I don't really like the center console though, looks super outdated and basic in my opinion when compared to all the competitors trucks. I do like the dash display though
I had try out a Toyota tundra it was 1791 edition and it is good at towing on road off road thats were issues kick in and I puffer using my Ford for towing off road and using my tundra for daily
I agree with this guy after I bought my 2017 1794 Tundra 4wd , my friend has a platinum f-150 . There is literally no comparison on quality of leather and interior. Yea the Ford has more gimmicky features but overall solid build is Toyota all the way .
Before this was a 2008 tundra drove it to 175000 miles before I got in a wreck with a Escalade that had total electrical failure and left them stranded in a rainstorm. Caused a 5 Car pile up . Because she didn’t want to leave it at the dealership for repair and tried to make it home . 40000 miles on new tundra and 175000 on old one never a check engine light or anything that needed repaired on either truck . Other than my 2008 had to get u-joints in the front at about 150000 miles .
I used to own a Tacoma and Tundra. Both were good trucks! But they will not last pulling trailers! The transmissions won't last and are expensive to get fixed. Not an opinion learned this from experience! Switched over to ford f150 and have 218k. Now my opinion I like the Fords.
I like the new 2019 Silverado, however the 2019 Tundra is catching my attention. Im not liking the power tailgate on the silverado and I heard that the DFM underpowers the 5.3 V8. I will be seriously looking in to the Tundra.
I only bought Toyotas for years. Reluctantly switched to a Ford escape for awhile….and worst decision ever. I was in the shop all the time with that truck. Finally went back to a Toyota. I’m so happy I did. Will never buy anything else.
I’m going through the same thing right now shopping for a truck and I’m finding myself bouncing between Ford dealerships and Toyota dealership pulling my hair out trying to stay away from sales people until I’m ready
I thought it was simple to spec an F-150. I got XLT/302A, extended range fuel tank, chrome appearance package, and the 3.5 engine. Done. All controls, very simple, IMHO. Manual climate control, start with a key, and few buttons.
You need to prepare your presentation flow. You are all over the place. Focus. You could have made your simple point in 5 minutes. You went on and on and on. Unable to make your point concisely. Few people have the time to listen to you ramble on. As for the trucks, the Toyota is an old design. Car and driver picked it 7th.
Dude! You can’t not compare apples 🍎 (Toyota) to trash! 🤮 (ford) no doubt! In the past I liked chevy’s , but now Tundras is the most powerful truck in the world! You made your best choice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
rustytr I don’t think that’s true I haven’t a Toyota beside the road I see the old corollas last I had one with almost 300,000 miles and the only way it stop it’s because a car crash
@rustytr What model Toyota? You didn't specify. I've seen more broken down Ford F-150's on the side of the road than anything else; and I'm not talking about the older ones; I'm talking about the newer ones. Since you wound up getting a Ford, you should have grabbed the F-250, that's Ford's real thoroughbred. That truck is a champ, about as reliable as a Tundra. Good luck with that turbo charged hairdryer in that F-150 man.
Eric E Gutierrez I have a list of vehicles I’ve seen broken down since I started this list about a year ago. Gm: 6 FCA (Dodge): 5 Ford: 1 Acura/ Honda: 1 Toyota/ Lexus: 1 BMW: 2 Also keep in mind, you don’t see a lot of dodges in my area, (rural northern Illinois), people have mostly fords and older Chevys.
I'm all for made in USA but Gotta go with the Land Cruiser to get that Japanese quality and pride. America went cheap in the mid 70s - the early 2K's. It took a lonnnng time for them to consider quality again and now they're outsourcing everything. I'm looking for a Land Cruiser...
@@greggonzales2451 Help me understand your remark. It's still a better made truck than Silverado, F-150, Ram, and Sierra. The drive trains are superior in every way shape and form in terms of durability and reliability. To some that is EVERYTHING. The others are made in Mexico, Missouri, and Michigan. Maybe if they were made here in Texas they'd be more reliable, like a Tundra.
I can assure you that statement is very true. My grandfather purchased a 2007 4Runner sport edition v8 brand new off the lot. Had it up until he passed away. Back in November 2018 I received the 4Runner when I turned 16. It had 110,000 miles. Now it has 160,000. Still hasn’t had any major problems. I’m gonna drive it into its grave.
Yeah, *the Ford business model is to distract you with a bunch of Bells & Whistles, and with a bunch of goofy personalizations, SO THAT you don't notice reliability issues.* There's videos of Toyota Tundras & Tacomas (and Nissan pickups) going over 1,000,000 miles!
westernsharpie U go buy somebody else's problems.. somebody has to I guess. New cars only here & tend to keep em long. Ford F-150 trucks usually. Never issues. Last forever . Great resale value!
Seth Oherin Ur one of the few sir! Always shocked when ppl buy these & they most certainly aren't truck guys. Anyways, enjoy ur ride. Dont dare race any F150 Ecoboost trucks tho
My next truck will be an F250/350 Diesel. My biggest complaint is the location of the high failure rate parts such as the starter taking 8 hours to change but at 350,000 miles, that original starter really lasted a long time. If Toyota offered a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel truck, I'd buy it over the Ford.
My 2003 has 267,000 miles and nothing has failed yet other than light bulbs. I did replace the shocks, struts, rear leaf springs, and normal things like light bulbs, belts, brake pads, spark plugs, wipers, and fluids. Great truck and it still feels tight.
Time2 DumpTrump 5.4 Triton probably lol. Such a shit engine. It cost me almost $1k before I gave up and took a loss and traded it for my Silverado. 5.3 is a way better engine. I’m waiting for Toyota to update the Tundra, and it’ll probably be my next truck.
This is th exact video I needed. I've been back and forth about both of these trucks. I've made my mind up! Toyota Tundra is my choice. I've test drove both of them and he is 100% correct! Thanks!
I like Toyota first of all. But just to clarify you don't get a full tour. The rest of the buildings you see are off limits. That's where most of the work happens. The main building which is where the tours happen is just the assembly point.
I just want to say something. I’m in the military and when we go over seas and run missions and operations all we use is Toyota. I love Toyota. Roll Tide
Ford Rangers are all over Afghanistan, used by the Afghan Army and Police. I did find that the Ford Ranger does not do well when hit by an RPG. I don't think the warranty covers that!
juan cacer Yes, actually Toyota have a diesel V8 twin turbo usually available in the non US land cruiser and 70 series. If they put this in a Tundra or Sequoia it will be just a dream came true!!!
I called Toyota in California and they said they were having difficulty with emissions on the diesel and getting it regulated. I asked them about the Hino diesel also and again it was emissions keeping it out of America. I will not buy until they have a diesel.
Not sure what happened to the plans but I know a few years back they had been in talks with Allison on trying to work on something. I could be wrong but that was the rumor when I was working at the dealership.
juan cacer The US market won't let it sell it here unless factory installs a Cummins, International, or something that breaks often or competes and wins. Look at this review, I own a 2006 F250 diesel cured, cured means I had to spend 7k to make it run and still have many components known to fail, I don't have the money to change it now but will do in the future. Google 2017 Toyota Tundra Diesel go to "images" Ullman see it there, don't know if it is a concept or else but they said would be in the market after the Detroit intl auto show, starts at 72k 😣
Nicely put young man. I've owned Toyota's since 1986 and I've never looked back. I've sold all of them with well over 200,000 miles on them and got top dollar for all of them when I sold them. They are not as good as they used to be but far better than anything out there. Ford's and Chevy's are notorious for being in the shop with engineering flaws and the company support is horrible.
Man you are gonna love it! I’ve had mine for 2 years and what a great truck! I went from a Camry to the Tundra, lol.. big difference but i needed a truck.
I have a 17 model Camry now. I was originally looking to get a Tundra, but out of my range at the time. Now i'm seriously considering trading The Camry for one. I need a bigger vehicle.
Gus DaCosta ,too funny, I got a Camry as well,,and lookn for my perfect tundra now,,lol..had a 2003 6cyl tundra 230,000 when I got hit,,but I loved it..did everything I needed
I'm was ex mechanic and you are right by it is bye far the longest lasting truck out there on the road you did good I was a only ford in till I switched to Toyota tundra it was the best choice
That's not correct. The longest lasting pickup ever made in the United States was the early 1980's Toyota pickups. The Tundra is reliable but not as reliable as the early 1980's pickups.
I was considering an F150 vs a Tundra. Bought a Tundra!!! I've had it for a year...planned to put a camper on the 6.5ft bed...but now I'm selling it. To buy a Tundra crewmax!!! I changed my mind on a camper so now cab space is my priority vs bed space. Tundras are hard to find in the Tahoe Reno area....well sub $40k anyway lol. Great video.
I'm 40 years old when I was 17 I had my first 22r 11987 I've been a Toyota lover all my life now w I have a tundra 2015, they hold their value and they will take you from point a to b.
Hi great video, I have a 2018 TRD off road as well. There are some complaints about the truck getting long in the tooth but no one touches the reliability of these trucks. I love having the option to turn off driving aids like lane assist or parking assist. Finally, the best reason is NO auto stop or cylinder deactivation which is forced on buyers by other makes. Cheers and take care.
I should have listened to you when I first watched this video. Bought a 2019 F150, had a bunch of problems, now trading it for a 2020 tundra... I even watched this video before buying the F150... Shame on me, but at least now I will have a reliable workhorse.
I have an 18 f150 with 18000 miles with oil consumption and rattling transmission since it new and a whole bunch of recalls.The worst is that the dealer pretends it doesn't know about the issues.
@@88scmustang Had a 5.0 with oil consumption issues that the dealer could not figure out. Transmission shifted really hard between 3rd and 4th they said it was just breaking in. and infotainment issues. All they kept doing was updating and resetting it, it did not seem to do anything.
Devin Cruz Lol the Tundra is actually more expensive to repair in a lot of cases. Yes it can go probably 300k without as many issues , but it also has its issues. It does have great resell value , but the Tundra gets awful mileage , has a dated interior. Towing is also below the leading. competition
That is why i just bought mine. Got a 2012 with 4" lift mint in and out for a steal. Love it already and have only had it a few days. Hope to have it for many many years to come.
My 2016 lariat was a lemon. Ford had to buy it back after 6 months. Bought a tundra. Not as up to date as the f150, but should last and stay out of the shop.
I was offered a buy back or a swap to another f-150. Mine was in the shop 8 times in 6 months so I drove several f-150 loaners from the dealership. One was a platinum trim and it was having the same issue as mine (just not as often). Sealed the deal for me - buy back only.
I bought the same truck 2 weeks ago after doing A LOT of research and I couldn't be happier. I have the limited pack for leather/nav... I have 250 miles so far and couldn't be any happier. Your video highlights why I bought my Tundra as well! Thx
There is a 2007 Tundra 4x4 4.7 V8 that went over one million miles, with very little trouble along the way! The truck was used for WORK and TOWING, too! Look it up on UA-cam!
And a million miles after repairs. The trans was replaced on it. So therefore it didn't TECHNICALLY make one million miles. The guy just didn't crash is.
B. Ryan get over it. The proof is in the pudding. Toyota makes superior trucks than Ford. The truck actually went over 1 million miles with little problem. I had a 2009 FX 4 and my transmission was replaced at only 75k.

I'm a Ford guy all the way, but you did a good job with the points you made...and ultimately the only person that you have to please is your self. I also think there are no bad trucks out there, but there are trucks I do not like but it doesn't make them bad.
Titantramp4u you said it perfect!!
ford guy ehh, dude i buy sale used car.. FORD is the worst possible ever.... all have engine or tranny prob ...
Titantramp4u ford is garbage. It's so sad.
I am not American but I live in the states and I own both Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry. The Ford is more comfortable, very reliable (engine and tranny both going strong) but sucks on gas mileage. The Camry is lighter, again reliable, but not very rooted to the ground but is great on gas. I dont think it is fair to make sweeping statements on any, you need to maintain both, regular oil changes etc l, watch out for noises, don't drive them like racing cars, get small problems fixed on time and you should be golden with any car. My Taurus has 150K miles on it and the Camry has 36K miles on it.
Titantramp4u finally a guy who isn’t brand loyal and blind. Nicely said.
This man got so much more respect from me when he said one of the benefits to him buying this truck is the support it brings to the American people and our economy .
oh please - toyota is a JAPANESE company- he mostly supported the Japanese economy NOT the American economy. how dumb can you be?
To be clear, these trucks are ASSEMBLED in USA. With parts from overseas vendors. I like Made In USA as well as anyone and I served my country in the Navy. But I will go for automobiles made in JAPAN. When we can make a better, more reliable and sturdy vehicle like the Honda or Toyota, I will gladly buy it.
@@joeschmo7957I have a 4runner but too be fair the ford 3.5 has shown 250k miles. Same with 5.0.
3.5 revised from 2012 as tundra 5.7. But both are reliable and well made.
Also was navy. Congrats on getting out.
@@joeschmo7957 65% sourced from US or Canada. Making it the most source from the US of all American pickups. Oh yes, and assembled here...
The reason ford trucks sells the most is because they sell cheaper in "bulk" sales. That pushes their numbers up and hype.
That and GM splits theirs between Chevy and GMC.
and they are better
Yes, im sure if u dont count their fleet and rental (bulk sales), they dont sell nearly as many trucks as toy sells tundras....!! These comments r hillarious!
zzgeoergez Dane are you stupid? Just look at how make people drive f150s compared to tundras

That's why I love my 15 Tundra.... had Toyotas all my life and one Ford ...my company vehicles are Toyotas....great value for money every day.
Last year I bought a 2019 F250 every month I was having a recall the dealer then one at work with me on time or date did I choose it Hass to be third time or the date.. so I went to the Toyota dealer and I got myself a 2020 toyota tundra sr5 crewmax v8 5.7 and I love it I think that was a good decision✅👍👍
Did you get the short, standard or long bed?
@@lf7481 well my dads got a 07 sr5 double cab with long bed. Its awesome
I own a 2007 Tundra (for the last 12 years!). I have not had a major repair besides the recalls a few years ago. I tried to tell a good friend of mine not to buy his 2014 F150 but he didn't listen. His truck has been in the repair shop more than I have brought my truck for regular maintenance.... OK I exaggerated a little bit, but you get the picture.
I’ve owned a Ford Lariat 5.4L Crew Cab, Dodge SLT Crew Cab 5.7 Hemi, and a Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L Crew cab prior to determining the Best truck I have owned by a large margin is my Toyota Tundra 5.7L Crew Cab. Build quality is head and shoulders above al others, and depreciation is the least, though I have no plans to sell it....
The only reason I haven't bought a NEW Tundra, is gas economy MPG. They drink as if they are towing. But we own a 04 Tundra that is a proven road warrior.206k on her. I hope 19 or 2020,brings better MPG.
That is what holds me ,mpg
If you are worried bought mpg then shouldn't bought a truck.
You should have bought a car
If you worry about mpg then it sounds like you cannot afford the gas. Anyone who buys a truck doesn't worry about gas mileage
Why would a truck be different than a car for gas mileage? Toyota has the ability to make it more efficient. Use the direct injection engine from the Lexus LS.
Toyo Den Yea an Santa Claus brought it to ya too. Tundra doesn't sell for a reason folks.
Just another thing to mention-standard across the board on tundras TSS-P for 2018. (Autonomous braking/pre-collision warning, lane departure alert w/ steering assist, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beams)
I purchased a 2017 Tundra last February for all the exact same reasons. I previously owned a Tacoma and wanted bigger for towing. I seriously wanted at V8 Ford but like you got totally frustrated with building what I wanted AND finding it on a dealer lot within 200 miles of my home. I gave up and went with a Tundra because everything I wanted and needed to tow was standard with the truck. I view the "no changes done" to the truck design for many years as a guarantee of continued reliability.
Great video but very truthful. Tundra is the best I have ever owned. I was a Ford man since 81 and Jan of 16 I went to a Tundra Platinum. Love it.
When I started towing a travel trailer I purchased a 2006 Ford F150 with a 5.4. It had 20,000 miles on it. With 89,00 miles on it the differential crapped out at a cost of about 900.00. One month later and on the road to go camping, stopped to fuel up and saw smoke coming out the vents.... three days loss of vacation time, a flatbed ride with the trailer in tow. It was another 3200.00 to have a rebuilt transmission flown in from Oklahoma. While I was at the transmission shop the mechanic told me there was some misfiring with the spark plugs. Come to find out the 5.4 was famous for breaking off one of the spark plugs and usually requiring a head job (2800.00 average). This is with less than 100,00 miles on the Ford. I contacted the dealer to see what spark plug replacement would be and they wouldn't tell me. With that I unloaded the Ford, got smart, and purchased a 2012 Tundra. I now own a 2018 Tundra and will never look back. Tundra is the way to go
Hey Mike. Another Portland guy here. I see this video is almost a year old, but I just purchased a one-owner 2008 Tundra 5.7 Limited TRD with 105,000 actually from the same dealership you purchased yours from. I was looking for awhile for a used model in excellent shape with everything I wanted at a decent price and local, not from Canada as most used 4x4's are. I found this one and was enamored at the value these maintain when taken care of. I spent almost as much as you can get a new F150 for and I actually feel like I got a great deal due to the reliability factor that Toyota always brings. This truck stickered at 44K and change in 2008 and it only depreciated about half of that in ten years!!!! Awesome Awesome truck and I can guarantee you will be able to do the same with that truck in another ten years. Great videos man. -Luke
Dear Mr. dyimike, Nice truck,
thank You for purchasing a
mostly American MADE product.
All the comments, "bench racing"
as We then called it. It's mainly
they're personal preference. That's
all. You Sir did good.
Sincerely, Kathleen.
Congrats on the new truck! I've owned Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Nissan, and Toyota trucks. TOYOTA IS THE BEST!!! It is the most American vehicle, it is the most RELIABLE vehicle as well. Best resale value.
I’ve got a 2007 Toyota tundra 170,000 miles no issues change serpentine belt and battery that’s it, I think you made a good choice for what you say you wanted
I have a 2012 Tacoma. I love the Toyotas and my friend has a Tundra. He loves his truck too. Your truck is beautiful. Happy New Year.
A few months back I bought a 2020 tundra SX and I got a great deal on it. I had been looking at 2016-2018 tundras beforehand but they seemed so expensive compared to other trucks. I almost ended up buying a 2017 ram because of this but before I signed the paperwork I went to a toyota dealership to look at new tundras just to make sure I couldn't be persuaded. I'm so glad I did because what I found was the 2020 tundras are almost the same price as the 2018's because they depreciate so much less than the other brands. The ram that I was going to buy was $49,000 brand new and was selling for $28,499 at the time which is a huge difference. In contrast the 2018 tundra that I looked at with the same features as the ram was selling for $35,998 and negotiated my brand new 2020 down to $38,000. To me, knowing the difference in resale value between the toyota and the other brands sold me on it big time
Youre right...Good call.
Mine is a 2004 4.7 8cyl...Still runs like new...Simple maintenance.
Still have all but one original components (Although nothing was wrong with it, I changed the water pump when I did the timing belt)...Still have original alternator, starter, radiator,etc... Great parts, Great truck! Period!
I got a 2020 tundra 1794 and Love it!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!!!
Same here in brown and love it!
Same love itt
You made a great choice...tundra is a solid, reliable, dependable no frills pick up.
You said it! I want a truck I want it simple. People put down Toyota Tundra because they have not kept up with the “big 3”. I myself just want a truck...no foo foo...just a dang dependable truck gets the job done and doesn’t leave me stranded. My first truck was a Toyota in 81...tried Ford and Chevy both lemons and back to Toyota in 2007. Still driving that 2007 and never anything but a front wheel bearing and regular maintenance. I’m looking to buy my third Toyota truck. Thanks for the honest review.
Good choice!!
Can u do truck vids too?
I have a 2012 tundra with 200k km and a 2017 tahoe with like 40k km people keep talking about reliability like how long its going to last. Thats not the point to be honest its how its going to drive and feels like after a long time toyota still maintains that new car feel even after a very long time thats what makes me really appreciate them
This by far has been the Best explanation or description review wtf ever you want to call it of a car/ truck .. very nice job man!!
I bought a 2016 tundra crewmax sr5 with the trd 4x4 package with the 38 gallon tank for 40,900 out the door and I googled say I love my truck!!! My father in law went with a f150 and within a couple months regrets it because going off road, he would bottom out the front or hit the back bumper because of the length of the truck!!! I told him to stick with what we know but he wanted a gas saver so now he’s pissed! Lol
I bought my wife a 04 4runner v8 new..It has over 365k miles still running with orginal starter and alternator. The vave covers has never been off..I bought my daughter a 2015 corolla which has been trouble free..( college kid).
So you better believe the next vehicle will be another Toyota..Looking at a 14 or newer Tundra limited or platinum TRD.
Nice truck and good luck. I recently bought a F150 over a Tundra. Two reasons 1) I had a Sequoia for 12 years, amazing SUV, but wanted a change 2) F150 scored much better in crash tests.
Tundras and Sequoias are trucks that are simple but will last a very long time. Some may say that they are outdated, yes but the big three trucks Al have too much crap you pay for that you end up not even using it. And then will cause plenty of problems. I love my 2018 sequoia. I don’t need big is screen and touch up everything. I want real buttons that work and I don’t have to wait for the warning messages to turn off so I can turn the heat or AC. Simple and durable. Good choice!!
I heve owned an 07 tundra limited for six years. Just regular maintenance. Has close to 200k miles. Have driven f150s , silverados at same age and mileage and they feel like a 80 yr old versus a 40 yr old tundra;D I still have alot of power
Thanks man. yeah, great job on the interior. I never even thought about that until I saw how nicely laid out everything is. Quality. I'm sold on the tundra.
I bought a 2015 crewcab ( smaller cab), then I traded it in for a 2016 Crewmax , I got 110,000 miles on it and looks and runs perfectly,oil/filter every 5,000 miles, 19mpg highway ( 12 mpg in town) ,( 59 year old fanboy for Toyota!).
I keep my vehicles for a long time so I switched to Toyota a while back . I grew up a ford fan I bought a 03 f-150 new it still run well but it’s rust bucket which I’ll drive till breaks in half lol. Just bought a 2020 Camry it’s a Beautiful car and it feel so solid. When my ford lays down and dies I will buy Toyota pickup next time
I used to have a 2016 Toyota Tundra and I liked it do not make me wrong but it is a big truck I had to put a little stick wood to hold the garage door at the time to pull it in and also to park at any parking lot I trade it in for a 2018 GMC Sierra and I love my truck!!
Congrats bro. That's my dream truck. U did good by choosing the tundra. Good video👍🏽💯💯💯
I owned F150, F100 and rangers and was under the hood or under the truck most of the time. I bought a 2007 new and had one issue with the idler pulley the first year. Never had another issue again. 160,000 miles strong. Love my Tundra SR5
Great vid, choice, & evaluation of a great truck man.. 100% great choice! Cheers
I'm in the market for a new truck, I have driven an older Chevy Silverado and it is time for an upgrade.. As far as sedans I have loved Toyota and have been driving them for about 20 years love the reliability. I will definitely be checking out the Tundra, nice video!
The Tundra is by far the best Quality and Resale value is better then Ford plain and simple
Shotta sorry buddy but you are wrong, Silverados and sierras have some of the worst resale values, I’m a Ford fan but Toyota has a way higher resale value than GM, 3 to 4 year old trucks barely lose value, go look at the price of the Tacoma’s and tundras used. I can buy a Silverado for half price in less than 4 years. They are everywhere for cheap. Ford is a little better on resale but not as much as Toyota. I would never buy a fuel guzzling Toyota that is slower and pulls less than my stock F-150 but still.
@@daniellawless92 Yeah even the ones with like 300k+ miles still sell for around 20k which is crazy!
Daniel Lawless Fords don’t last as long as Toyotas. Simple. I need reliability, which is why I’m looking at Toyota. Had an F-150. Had issues less than 100k miles. Traded for a Silverado and now losing oil pressure at 105k miles. Such bs.
@@seabass22 Silverado has high towing capacity for a light duty truck but other then that its not to good of a truck.
Scott Mccauley i just bought a 2020 tundra 😂
Test drove one, 2021. Disappointed after driving the Nissan Pro 4X. Was a dog off the line. Can’t wait for 2022.
I owen a 2011tundra and I love it.
My uncle has the previous generation Tundra TRD with over 300000 miles and still going. He just changed the shocks. Now lets talk about his Chevrolet Suburban which was a burden. Engine problems, fly wheels failing, fuel lines falling a part, the seats disintegrated, electrical failures, and of repeated trips to the dealership. All that stopped with the Tundra:)
I got the 2017 and 2018 and 2019 i am gon get the 2020
WTF??
That's smart?
Here are 5 reasons I bought a 2018 Ford F150 Lariat FX4 5.0 V8 Crew Cab: 1. 6.5 bed 2. AWD (including 4-hi and 4-lo) 3. Locking Rear Diff 4. Real Off-Road tires offered from the factory 5. Drivers side grab handle on A-pillar
Now, if Tundra would leave the Stone Age and come on into the 21st century and offer the 5 above on the Tundra, I'd buy a Tundra.
My review of my 2015 Tundra Crew max Limited 4wd. Pro's & Con's
Pro
Best front seat out of all brands, widest and longest. I like flatter seats vs stiff bolsters
I like the large knobs, their solid
Huge back seat for passengers.
Power back window great for air flow with one front window down a little.
Very comfortable for elbows, hits on console or door window trim area perfect. Great steering wheel feel.
I like the look of the truck, rich looking truck. I have matching Leer fiberglass tonneau. Running boards are nicer flat black.
Smooth hwy ride
Good fit and finish
Help or to make a better Tundra
Limited and higher should have a soft touch dash, less hard plastic in door panels & dash trim. Hidden seat bolts and frame.
Easier storage and cable connect area under hvac area of console.
Under seat storage in back
usb outlets for back seat
Map lights for back seat
Thicker carpet Limited and higher
LED headlights now on 2020 along with better gauges
Need to 8 speed Toyota has now for better mpg. Real world city is 12-13.5, hwy 16-17.5 mpg. All depends on coasting and how hard you accelerate.
Bed step and lighting in the bed
Dress up the back end some-plain.
Little more stock exhaust burble
Rubber dead pedal
Locking fuel door
With 20's little bouncy with rough roads
Room for rear seat to recline some, take out some of the extra leg
I'm a picky guy and mainly bought Tundra for the best most comfortable front seat. Also figure Toyota will prove more reliable. 2020 brought the safety gear, bigger infotainment screen, push button start and has the better gauges than my 2015. Still needs better mpg -real 15/20 and overall nicer truck for higher trim levels. Put the Highlander Limited trim level in a Tundra.
I only have 30k miles on it
Reliability and US made, awesome.
I have my Tundra 2012 over 7 years never a single problem congratulations you made the right decision, previously owed Ford 250 and Ford 350 bout Diesel trucks very fue problems and that why I went to Toyota.
I just traded my 05 GMC for a new 2020 Tundra SR5 with and 8ft bed and can't regret it. I looked at GM, Ford and Dodge, test drove them all even did extended full day test drives, none of them felt ad solid as the Tundra. Everything about the truck is positive, shifter movements, buttons everything. The interior is nice, but not extremely busy like a lot of other new truck. Only thing that bugs me if I do keep it, is it being a lexus V8 with the starter under the intake, which is super expensive to replce should it go bad. And my biggest thing.. ALL STEEL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. No aluminum crap strung out all over to reduce weight by 20lbs, no VVT crap to try and get 2mpg out of a V8. Simple, reliable and proven engineering. Everyone rags that the tundra hasnt changed really since like 2008, why should it change of it works?
better resale and much less recalls with the Toyota. good choice
I recently bought a used 2012 Tundra Platinum. It is older, but still has some nice accessories. I love it! I hate the mpg, but it is an 8 cylinder so it is expected.
I met a big Ford Purchasing agent in China. Lots of Ford parts made in China.
You made the right decision in buying a Japanese vehicle. There is a very good reason why Japanese vehicles are superior to American cars. My name is David and I am 52 years old. My father showed me years ago in the 1970s some of his science books on geology. And some of his science books on metallurgy, which is the science of removing steel from rocks and dirt and boulders to be able to make whatever you want.
A discovery was made in the 1970s about Japanese steel and it will shock you. It is a scientific fact that it takes a far greater amount of heat over a longer period of time to be able to melt Japanese steel. When this steel cools down it is very hard and tough and lasts a very long time. Vehicle parts breakdown for two reasons, heat and friction. Japanese cars last so long and withstand friction and heat to a much better degree. How do we know this? We know this because it has been scientifically proven that it takes a higher temperature to be able to melt Japanese steel!
Thank you for your time.
F-150...number one selling truck of all time for a reason.
I have 2013 F150 only 67,000 miles.Nothing but problems, getting rid of it ASAP.
Because of you, a lot of people in my city buy Tundra, much more than 5 years ago. While they buy Ford less and less
I was considering this truck until I saw the crash test results from it; it did horribly. Safety is just as important to me as reliability. Until they fix that, it's a no go.
The exterior on that truck is really nice. I don't really like the center console though, looks super outdated and basic in my opinion when compared to all the competitors trucks. I do like the dash display though
Just bought a 2020 Tundra CM few months ago and absolutely love it
I had try out a Toyota tundra it was 1791 edition and it is good at towing on road off road thats were issues kick in and I puffer using my Ford for towing off road and using my tundra for daily
I could get a new full sized truck but I would have to live in it!
$42,500 | 1.9% APR
48 Months | $920 / Month
I agree with this guy after I bought my 2017 1794 Tundra 4wd , my friend has a platinum f-150 . There is literally no comparison on quality of leather and interior. Yea the Ford has more gimmicky features but overall solid build is Toyota all the way .
Before this was a 2008 tundra drove it to 175000 miles before I got in a wreck with a Escalade that had total electrical failure and left them stranded in a rainstorm. Caused a 5 Car pile up . Because she didn’t want to leave it at the dealership for repair and tried to make it home . 40000 miles on new tundra and 175000 on old one never a check engine light or anything that needed repaired on either truck . Other than my 2008 had to get u-joints in the front at about 150000 miles .
I used to own a Tacoma and Tundra. Both were good trucks! But they will not last pulling trailers! The transmissions won't last and are expensive to get fixed. Not an opinion learned this from experience! Switched over to ford f150 and have 218k. Now my opinion I like the Fords.
I like the new 2019 Silverado, however the 2019 Tundra is catching my attention. Im not liking the power tailgate on the silverado and I heard that the DFM underpowers the 5.3 V8. I will be seriously looking in to the Tundra.
I like tundras, they are just old, resale value is good, but that's about it. The new tundra coming out should be the way to go. I hope....
I only bought Toyotas for years. Reluctantly switched to a Ford escape for awhile….and worst decision ever. I was in the shop all the time with that truck. Finally went back to a Toyota. I’m so happy I did. Will never buy anything else.
I’m going through the same thing right now shopping for a truck and I’m finding myself bouncing between Ford dealerships and Toyota dealership pulling my hair out trying to stay away from sales people until I’m ready
I thought it was simple to spec an F-150. I got XLT/302A, extended range fuel tank, chrome appearance package, and the 3.5 engine. Done. All controls, very simple, IMHO. Manual climate control, start with a key, and few buttons.
You need to prepare your presentation flow. You are all over the place. Focus.
You could have made your simple point in 5 minutes. You went on and on and on. Unable to make your point concisely.
Few people have the time to listen to you ramble on.
As for the trucks, the Toyota is an old design. Car and driver picked it 7th.
1. Price 2. Reliability 3. Made in USA 4. Execution and Finish/Capability 5. Simplicity.... Thank Me Later
Dude! You can’t not compare apples 🍎 (Toyota) to trash! 🤮 (ford) no doubt!
In the past I liked chevy’s , but now Tundras is the most powerful truck in the world! You made your best choice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
1. THEY
2. LAST
3. PRETTY
4. MUCH
5. FOREVER
And I will import a tundra to Europe soon! It worth the price
rustytr I don’t think that’s true I haven’t a Toyota beside the road I see the old corollas last I had one with almost 300,000 miles and the only way it stop it’s because a car crash
@rustytr What model Toyota? You didn't specify. I've seen more broken down Ford F-150's on the side of the road than anything else; and I'm not talking about the older ones; I'm talking about the newer ones. Since you wound up getting a Ford, you should have grabbed the F-250, that's Ford's real thoroughbred. That truck is a champ, about as reliable as a Tundra. Good luck with that turbo charged hairdryer in that F-150 man.
Unless you want to tow anything. Then you’ll blow a transmission. The engines are reliable though.
Eric E Gutierrez I have a list of vehicles I’ve seen broken down since I started this list about a year ago.
Gm: 6
FCA (Dodge): 5
Ford: 1
Acura/ Honda: 1
Toyota/ Lexus: 1
BMW: 2
Also keep in mind, you don’t see a lot of dodges in my area, (rural northern Illinois), people have mostly fords and older Chevys.
Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are made and assembled in San Antonio Tx
Unfortunately.
I'm all for made in USA but Gotta go with the Land Cruiser to get that Japanese quality and pride. America went cheap in the mid 70s - the early 2K's. It took a lonnnng time for them to consider quality again and now they're outsourcing everything. I'm looking for a Land Cruiser...
@@gaffle-411 4 runner is also made in Japan!!
@@greggonzales2451 Help me understand your remark. It's still a better made truck than Silverado, F-150, Ram, and Sierra. The drive trains are superior in every way shape and form in terms of durability and reliability. To some that is EVERYTHING. The others are made in Mexico, Missouri, and Michigan. Maybe if they were made here in Texas they'd be more reliable, like a Tundra.
@Eric E Gutierrez
Toyotas all day everyday. I use to be a chevy dude. But then my dad introduced me to toyota and I never looked back.
Morrison Adams From a Chevy you would say the same of Ram or Ford as well as Toyota. GM trucks in my experience are gremlin garbage.
Smart man
I like both a lot
GM switched from Quality to Quantity its not worth those 50k just down drain with toyota you’ll get your money worth and some
The world knows Toyotas run forever. At times, Toyota cars are shared for generations in a family.
I can assure you that statement is very true. My grandfather purchased a 2007 4Runner sport edition v8 brand new off the lot. Had it up until he passed away. Back in November 2018 I received the 4Runner when I turned 16. It had 110,000 miles. Now it has 160,000. Still hasn’t had any major problems. I’m gonna drive it into its grave.
@@Icehawks7 I'm still driving my grandmother's 1999 Camry. It only has 93k miles and runs like new
I have a 2013 Prius v and it has almost 180k miles on it and it’s never had any major issues
Can confirm my father gave me his old toyota tundra
Fact 🙏
When your Tundra is paid off you will still have a great reliable truck for a very long time with no payments.
Dats d best feature of any truck 😁
Yeah, *the Ford business model is to distract you with a bunch of Bells & Whistles, and with a bunch of goofy personalizations, SO THAT you don't notice reliability issues.*
There's videos of Toyota Tundras & Tacomas (and Nissan pickups) going over 1,000,000 miles!
Yup and it will hold value
I bought a used 2016 TUNDRA and it looks brand new with 50k miles so i know i got more life in this thing than buying any other truck brand new👌
so you bought a new Tundra? Awesome man!
I just ordered my 2018 Tundra 1794 edition this past Saturday. It comes in Wednesday. I am so excited.
Seth Oherin hopefully not new. Only an idiot would get suckered into a brand new car
Seth Oherin get a gas card your gonna need it. Get ready to be out run at every turn by Ecoboost F150s.
David Klimmek - Until the Ecoboost F150s stall from driving in wet conditions
westernsharpie U go buy somebody else's problems.. somebody has to I guess. New cars only here & tend to keep em long. Ford F-150 trucks usually. Never issues. Last forever . Great resale value!
Seth Oherin Ur one of the few sir! Always shocked when ppl buy these & they most certainly aren't truck guys. Anyways, enjoy ur ride. Dont dare race any F150 Ecoboost trucks tho
Bought a 2019 tundra SR5 and I absolutely love it
1.25x playback speed is optimal
My 2001 Tundra just hit 400,000 miles and I wouldn't hesitate to drive her cross country. Good choice!
My next truck will be an F250/350 Diesel. My biggest complaint is the location of the high failure rate parts such as the starter taking 8 hours to change but at 350,000 miles, that original starter really lasted a long time. If Toyota offered a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel truck, I'd buy it over the Ford.
My 2003 has 267,000 miles and nothing has failed yet other than light bulbs. I did replace the shocks, struts, rear leaf springs, and normal things like light bulbs, belts, brake pads, spark plugs, wipers, and fluids. Great truck and it still feels tight.
holleyman1970 The diesel fords are good trucks my 06 f150 just died at 124k
124K is a lot of miles for a Ford F-150. Most American vehicles are shot at that mileage.
Time2 DumpTrump 5.4 Triton probably lol. Such a shit engine. It cost me almost $1k before I gave up and took a loss and traded it for my Silverado. 5.3 is a way better engine.
I’m waiting for Toyota to update the Tundra, and it’ll probably be my next truck.
This is th exact video I needed. I've been back and forth about both of these trucks. I've made my mind up! Toyota Tundra is my choice. I've test drove both of them and he is 100% correct! Thanks!
Priscilla Horne love my tundra. Zero issues and my sisters F150 that’s a year newer has had 5 check engine lights and 4 warranty repairs.
Toyota truck, assembled right here in San Antonio TX baby!! I've been to the plant and did a tour. The place is amazing and super clean!
I like Toyota first of all. But just to clarify you don't get a full tour. The rest of the buildings you see are off limits. That's where most of the work happens. The main building which is where the tours happen is just the assembly point.
I hate Texas.
@@jawharris Texas hates you too 🤷♂️
Rather have it made in Japan from the original plants. Like the 4runners are still.
@ 5.7 V8
I just want to say something. I’m in the military and when we go over seas and run missions and operations all we use is Toyota. I love Toyota. Roll Tide
Roll Tide brother🤘🤘And thank you for your service👏you are a true hero🇱🇷🇱🇷
Ford Rangers are all over Afghanistan, used by the Afghan Army and Police. I did find that the Ford Ranger does not do well when hit by an RPG. I don't think the warranty covers that!
@@richwade9377 lol
Your our back bone thank you for your service, we 3% never forget

I just wished Toyota would bring an HD truck with their hino diesel engine 👌.. love my tundra tho
juan cacer that would kill all the other brands! But it would be awesome, I would trade my 2017 tundra for that any day.
juan cacer Yes, actually Toyota have a diesel V8 twin turbo usually available in the non US land cruiser and 70 series. If they put this in a Tundra or Sequoia it will be just a dream came true!!!
I called Toyota in California and they said they were having difficulty with emissions on the diesel and getting it regulated. I asked them about the Hino diesel also and again it was emissions keeping it out of America. I will not buy until they have a diesel.
Not sure what happened to the plans but I know a few years back they had been in talks with Allison on trying to work on something. I could be wrong but that was the rumor when I was working at the dealership.
juan cacer The US market won't let it sell it here unless factory installs a Cummins, International, or something that breaks often or competes and wins. Look at this review, I own a 2006 F250 diesel cured, cured means I had to spend 7k to make it run and still have many components known to fail, I don't have the money to change it now but will do in the future. Google 2017 Toyota Tundra Diesel go to "images" Ullman see it there, don't know if it is a concept or else but they said would be in the market after the Detroit intl auto show, starts at 72k 😣
Bought a 2019 CrewMax Limited 2 weeks ago. Full leather full everything. 47,400 otd. 1.9%apr
Patrick Davies can I ask what you paid before tax??? I plan to buy 1 soon
Patrick your gonna be piss it’s may 1 2019 and it’s 0.0, 60 months now
Nicely put young man. I've owned Toyota's since 1986 and I've never looked back. I've sold all of them with well over 200,000 miles on them and got top dollar for all of them when I sold them. They are not as good as they used to be but far better than anything out there. Ford's and Chevy's are notorious for being in the shop with engineering flaws and the company support is horrible.
Man you are gonna love it! I’ve had mine for 2 years and what a great truck! I went from a Camry to the Tundra, lol.. big difference but i needed a truck.
I have a 17 model Camry now. I was originally looking to get a Tundra, but out of my range at the time. Now i'm seriously considering trading The Camry for one. I need a bigger vehicle.
misterred316 if it’s the right time, do it, you won’t be disappointed, great truck!
It may just be. Thanks
Great man, lucky for you. I am driving Camry 2004 and wanna transitioned to a Tundra :)
Gus DaCosta ,too funny, I got a Camry as well,,and lookn for my perfect tundra now,,lol..had a 2003 6cyl tundra 230,000 when I got hit,,but I loved it..did everything I needed
I'm was ex mechanic and you are right by it is bye far the longest lasting truck out there on the road you did good I was a only ford in till I switched to Toyota tundra it was the best choice
That's not correct. The longest lasting pickup ever made in the United States was the early 1980's Toyota pickups. The Tundra is reliable but not as reliable as the early 1980's pickups.
I was considering an F150 vs a Tundra.
Bought a Tundra!!! I've had it for a year...planned to put a camper on the 6.5ft bed...but now I'm selling it.
To buy a Tundra crewmax!!! I changed my mind on a camper so now cab space is my priority vs bed space.
Tundras are hard to find in the Tahoe Reno area....well sub $40k anyway lol.
Great video.
How is Reno these days? I graduated from Wooster High School .
Got a new 2017 Tundra SR5 TRD at Carson City Toyota for 42k out the door in 2017. Great truck !
I'm 40 years old when I was 17 I had my first 22r 11987 I've been a Toyota lover all my life now w I have a tundra 2015, they hold their value and they will take you from point a to b.
Hi great video, I have a 2018 TRD off road as well. There are some complaints about the truck getting long in the tooth but no one touches the reliability of these trucks. I love having the option to turn off driving aids like lane assist or parking assist. Finally, the best reason is NO auto stop or cylinder deactivation which is forced on buyers by other makes. Cheers and take care.
I saw my Ford service manager more than I saw my family when I owned my F250. Now 3 years with my Tundra and not one hiccup
good luck
Did you buy your F250 brand new with 0 miles?
ha ha ha, nice comment.
what year was it
Same experience I had with ford.
We have fords at my job all have 300 400k miles . We returned our tundra good luck
I should have listened to you when I first watched this video. Bought a 2019 F150, had a bunch of problems, now trading it for a 2020 tundra... I even watched this video before buying the F150... Shame on me, but at least now I will have a reliable workhorse.
08 tundra with 180k miles here. You won't be sorry. Little too no issues. Might get some but nothing compared to the big three.
Why? What went wrong?
What happen with your f150? I have a 2016 3.5 Ecoboost with 180,000 miles strong,an my opinion can't be beat.
I have an 18 f150 with 18000 miles with oil consumption and rattling transmission since it new and a whole bunch of recalls.The worst is that the dealer pretends it doesn't know about the issues.
@@88scmustang Had a 5.0 with oil consumption issues that the dealer could not figure out. Transmission shifted really hard between 3rd and 4th they said it was just breaking in. and infotainment issues. All they kept doing was updating and resetting it, it did not seem to do anything.
Reliability is everything you have nothing if you don't have that
Devin Cruz Lol the Tundra is actually more expensive to repair in a lot of cases. Yes it can go probably 300k without as many issues , but it also has its issues. It does have great resell value , but the Tundra gets awful mileage , has a dated interior. Towing is also below the leading. competition
We have ford trucks at my job all have 300 400k miles so yea the ford is better. We had toyota and we returned it
@@jayg9732 only ford that has more than 200k is a diesel and not any diesel at that. it would have to be a 7.3 or 6.7 everything else is trash
Carlos A Lara FACTS!!
@@jayg9732 there isn't s single ford out there that's better than a Toyota

Wisest decision.
Because of this video I’m going look into Tundras, thanks 🙏🏻
I’ve been a GM Guy my whole life!
STICK WITH GMC. 🇺🇸🎖️⭐
Stop being a copycat dummy
Tundra is a no bullshit vehicle.
That is why i just bought mine. Got a 2012 with 4" lift mint in and out for a steal. Love it already and have only had it a few days. Hope to have it for many many years to come.
And that's no bullshit!
Just bought 2019 sr5 sx 4×4 package a month ago this coming Tuesday and I can honestly say this is the best vehicle I've ever purchased.😎
My 2016 lariat was a lemon. Ford had to buy it back after 6 months. Bought a tundra. Not as up to date as the f150, but should last and stay out of the shop.
Carson Cunningham I know someone who's 16 f150 lariat was also a lemon. Kept having transmission issues I believe. Ford ended up giving him a 17
I was offered a buy back or a swap to another f-150. Mine was in the shop 8 times in 6 months so I drove several f-150 loaners from the dealership. One was a platinum trim and it was having the same issue as mine (just not as often). Sealed the deal for me - buy back only.
What was the issue?
Thats cus its a lariat . Everyone knows thats the worst kind of ford . Eddie bauer editions never failed me
jesse Martinez I have a 2015 f250 lariat and have had 0 issues, best truck you can buy
I bought the same truck 2 weeks ago after doing A LOT of research and I couldn't be happier. I have the limited pack for leather/nav... I have 250 miles so far and couldn't be any happier. Your video highlights why I bought my Tundra as well! Thx
There is a 2007 Tundra 4x4 4.7 V8 that went over one million miles, with very little trouble along the way! The truck was used for WORK and TOWING, too! Look it up on UA-cam!
And a million miles after repairs. The trans was replaced on it. So therefore it didn't TECHNICALLY make one million miles. The guy just didn't crash is.
B. Ryan I believe in the reverse gear didn’t work on it
B. Ryan , transmission was never replaced, it was repaired for reverse gear at 700 k miles
repairvehicle you mean rebuilt.
B. Ryan get over it. The proof is in the pudding. Toyota makes superior trucks than Ford. The truck actually went over 1 million miles with little problem. I had a 2009 FX 4 and my transmission was replaced at only 75k.
