The Toyota V8's will be highly sought after like the 90's Land Cruiser
As of right now... the 2nd Gen Tundra is the one to have. 3rd Gen engine problems suck. The first Gen Tundra is pretty nice, too. Jeep haters always like to point out how reliable the Toyota are... I have a 100 series LC and a Gladiator. Love them both.
Jeep is a nice to have. Toyota is a must have if you gotta have a reliable transportation for Monday morning.
@@Baebon6259 I did have to put a new engine in the Land Cruiser... so there is that.
@@adrianw3985Old engines will always need more maintenance and or engine swaps.
@@FrameRot well... maybe, but at least they don't seize the bottom end, from lack of lubrication like the 3.5 in the new Tundra? I don't know what your point is. Maintenance on an engine is pretty cheap if you do it yourself.
@@adrianw3985 you said you had to put a new engine in the LC. I'm just saying old things will always need replacing.
My 2021 tundra has slightly appreciated some crazy way. From when i bought it a year ago
I purchased a 2020 in the summer of 2019. I absolutely love it. Built it out for overlanding but nothing crazy. Very basic and very fun. I think I have about 20K miles on it so far!
Great video, thank you!
Awesome video. It was nice seeing how it performed with the narration with it! Great job
Not sure if worthy of it's own video, but my unconventional offroader is my 2500 chevy avalanche. 8.1L powered with a full float 14 bolt. The back wall folds down in the avalanche so you can camp inside your cab below your tonneau covers. It’s perfect for me!
Thanks for making this video!
Best all around truck you can buy
Excellent video! Thank u very much!
Really enjoyed those! Well done!
Love the videos. Keep it up!
great video!
This was awesome!
Got a 2007 5.7 tundra absolutely love it..
Love this series idea. More please!!
Love it. More of these please
Thanks for the review and insights on the Tundra.
Great video, good info!
More, please. Thanks for the hard work and always informative formatting.
Yes! Please make more. Great video. Love the 2nd Gen Tundra platform.
Great video. Good idea for a series. Would love to see more.
Love the content. The score I give for this format is a five.... send it❤!!!
excellent - Thanks!
just made me love my 2017 Pro even more. great vid.
I like this new series!
Great video man! I look forward to watching more of these videos! I had no idea how many engine options the tundra had.
Congratulations, very informative video
More please... have always loved your channel. Always informative...
Thanks for the great video! I have an 08 but am thinking about going a tad newer with a 2016 Pro but glad to see this video either way!
Great content. A lot of useful information as always. Thanks for the videos you make. Awesome work!
Thanks!great job
Great video thx!
I love my 2021 TRD prd overland build. Thank you for this video
I really like this series and appreciate the work it took. While I wait for you to do the 5th Gen 4Runner (hopefully before I buy one in the next month or two 😅), I eagerly wait for whatever you film and will definitely be watching. All these rigs are so cool!
Great video! As a Toyota guy, I love this gen Tundra although I no longer own one (had three!). I would watch similar videos discussing other makes because I love trucks and learning the ins and outs of different platforms. Thanks for the content, subscribed!
Great video! I’ve done sliders and tires on my 2019. Now I’m itching to do suspension and front bumper!
Great video man! I had no idea how many engine options the 2nd gen actually had.
Love our 2nd gen Fundra
Great video Nate, lots of good data in there and I like the score at the end looking forward to more of them in future videos
I am excited to maybe get a guest on here and do the XJ... do you know a guy?
I love mine for sure!!!!!!
Great Video - thanks for all the hard work. I have a 2017 Tacoma and wanted to go for a Tundra but like the rest of us not sure about the latest version. If I can find a decent used one, the 2nd Gen is probably the best bet for now. Keep them coming and thanks again!
Awesome video. I love my '21 even though I won't ever take it crawling. I bought it for towing a RV and modified it as such. Trans cooler, Cat Shield, air bags, TRD rear swaybar, scangauge2 for trans temp, and eventually Borla dual exhaust.
I'm in my "regular cab, short bed" phase of life, and I wish there were more used 2nd Gen Tundra's in that spec. If I am daydreaming, then might as well wish for a TRD blower too.
Great stuff as usual Nathan and thanks for the reminder on the ABS guards, I forgot about those! If you ever want to explore some of those backcountry gems we talked about or do the 4.6L vs. 5.7L 2nd gen Tundra comparison (or start that new series, where the road ends and the single-track begins) you know how to reach me. Cheers!
Really Awesome video and I don't even own a Toyota, I didn't buy a 2nd Gen Tundra because I needed a truck to haul my FWC Grandby. So I bought a 2nd Gen gas powered Dodge 2500 & I really really like my Dodge other than the 6 mpg going through the mountains. Thank you for creating Super Duper Awesome videos, you really do an amazing job of making videos.
The "upgrades" rabbit hole needs to come with a disclaimer of it's completely dependent on what you'll be doing and whether or not you want to (and have the ability to) get the truck up on a lift to tune suspension and tinker with it. Even "easy" click adjusters can be a hassle for most people. Most upgrades aren't necessary anyhow as the vast majority of people won't ever be doing what you're showing in the video, so that money can be better put to use elsewhere. Also, people should keep in mind that tires are getting SUPER expensive (a new set of 35x12.5x18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers x 5 is around $2200!) so be sure you really, REALLY need something that big when a 32-33" will be more than just fine in the vast majority of cases, cost less, and will cause fewer fitting issues.
More of these videos, SEND IT!
Love it! Great job. Couldn't agree more. One day could you cover the differences between 2 and 2.5 gen tundras? Me second gen is getting tired but I'm not sure I want to go to the 2.5 gen.
Another great video! Bought my 18 Tundra last year after being more of a 4Runner guy and wish I had bought a Tundra 15 years ago. I went straight to 37s too because anything this big should have 37s! They're small BFG 37s though. 2.5" lift and they clear everything but sway bar when turning very hard left or right. But rubbing is racing
and this is why i bought a 17 tundra crewmax
You know you've gotta do the 11th-14th gen F150s. 12th and 13th are probably the most common right now, especially with the inflated prices of the 14th gen.
I like your scoring system
Cool premise! I'd like to see one on the GX/Prado platform!
I just sold my 2014 SR5 and picked up a 2021 TRD Pro. They are the last great truck. No displacement-on-demand. No active fuel management. Minimal foo-foo electronics.
Love this series! I know a lot of the form factor will be the same as a Tundra, but I would like to see you do the F150 (not Raptor). I have a 2019 with coyote V8. Super duty review would be cool too.
Good info. Nate. Thanks again. I was wondering if they are still fixing the rusted frame recalls on 2009 models?
I have a 2008 tundra limited. I bought it at 100k miles. I have 155k on it now and I have spent $35.00 in necessary repairs. That is not including of course maintenance costs like oil, filters, tires. I am a big fan of Jeep Gladiators, so if you want to do a video on them, that would be awesome! This was a great video!
Definitely get a Toyota Sequoia on here! 2nd Gen
2021 tundra sr. Named it Black Ostrich cause it's black and 2wd. Commuter and occasional trails.
Hi Nate! I think you missed a talking point unless I missed it. To my recollection one of the main reasons the Tundra got "trail cred" as an offroading full size is that it has 4,000 lb axles.
I don't own a Tundra so by all means let me know if I'm mistaken.
This is a great video! I used to have a 2012 Tundra rock warrior(before the trd pro was a thing) I’m currently looking to buy another tundra. I definitely don’t want a new 3rd gen and I’m sure you know why lol. When I sold my tundra it had 100k miles and still felt new. I’m looking at some 2021 tundras and need your opinion. Most 2021 tundra pros run about 50-55k with 50k miles or less. I’ve seen one for sale for 39k but has 108k miles. If I buy the cheaper one I can start doing my overland build because of my money I’m saving. Would you buy a tundra with that many miles? CARFAX looks like it was well maintained.
Would love your thoughts on my beloved '90s suburban! Or the new kids on the block (Gladiator, Branco)
Do one on the 2019-2023 Ford Ranger please!
Awesome video! Who made your rock sliders? I’ve got some from
C4 and like them.
Those are CBI… I like C4 stuff too, I run their bumpers.
Can you do a video on the 2nd Gen Nissan Titan? I have my YOTA but my Overlanding brother loves his Nissans. Its hard to find good content on this platform.
would love to see a gx460 will it adventure.
You briefly spoke about the traction control of the Tundra, and I'm wondering if you could go into more detail about it. Which traction mode should I be in? How do I activate it? When should I change it?
Would love to learn what a current gen rav4 can do. I also have a 2021 Tundra.
Hey there ! Can you make a LC100 similar video... Just bought a Rust Free 1998 JDM... and, of course, plan to use it as a future off-road adventure platform ! Thanks !
Congrats, that sounds like a great vehicle
CONS?.....what cons....done right this truck is indestructible.....never mind the legendary reliability and room galore.....what else can you ask for?
Link for ABS sensor guards please! Great idea I didn’t think of this.
sdhqoffroad.com/products/07-21-toyota-tundra-sdhq-built-billet-abs-guards
Similar, but the Gen 2 sequoia!
3rd gen 4runner!!!
Thoughts on kings 2.5 suspension?
Things can happen with Any car Company people!
When various members of the domestic big three were making mechanics out of hard working folks, Toyota provided simplicity and reliability instead of crazy frills!!
Toyota was global, before other car companies found it politically popular to collaborated with other global brands. Let Toyota do there processing to fix the problems!!
Please do ram 1500 5th gen
I have the 2.5 Gen Tundra. 2021...last of the good Tundras. Would love to see the 1st Gen Toyota Sequoia
Any videos on fitting a 35 tire under for spare.
They fit fine… you have to drill out these small tabs that hold smaller tires in place
Id love to see some other vehicles that people may not immediately assume for adventures. Like GMC Sierra, or Hummers, or Subaru Outback. Create a grading system and allow us viewers to compare the different scores.
We will definitely seek out some none "standard" options.... Subarus are a great example.... pretty solid for camping and overland... Amazing in the snow.
@@OutdoorAuto Some more soft roader would be good like 2nd Gen Ridgeline
2010 RAV4
2017 was the best year for these. It was the last year before the problematic/temperamental TSS system and embarrassing, non-functional hood scoop was introduced.
Make more.
What headlights are you running on that tundra ?
GX 460 and the ZR2 Silverado
What about them?
I have a 2020 Pro with a Harrop supercharger. I would pay boatloads for a reliable 10 speed to match that horsepower for interstate mountainous towing. The 6 speed is meh….
I’ve been saying this. The Tundra does not need lockers.
Power Wagon review?
Does it need to be a TRD pro or does a SR5 with 4x4 gonna do for most people?
I for the most part get the lower trims and then customize to my actual use.
Question for you I have a 2019 TRD PRO I’m in the process of ordering a BP51 kit would you recommend replacing the UCA’s ?
If you have the money I would... you will get better a little better performance but it still works great with the stock UCA's... I ran stock UCA's for a year with it.
I knew the first day I bought my 2014 Tundra I was never getting rid of it.
Good video, im surprised you didn't touch on the brakes. If you only drive mild terrain they're good. If you load up you're tundra and drive down grades they SUCK, BAD. they overheat quickly. Ive had this happen 3 times. Im shopping for aftermarket front rotors n pads... any recommendations? Thanks
Hah... I had breaks in the original edit but since Ihaven't tested alternatives I pulled it out... I keep hearing PowerStop Brakes has a good option... but I need to look into it
@@OutdoorAuto thank you very much!
Most full sized trucks mid trims and up have a limited slip. most trucks NOW come with an LSD basically as standard from what i've been looking at on the lots. Some even on the lower trims have selectable lockers for the rear. TCS is good but they arent locker or lsd good by any stretch of the imagination
I beg to differ. I had a first gen Tundra. It was a great truck. It had a limited slip rear dif. It was TERRIBLE. Always slipped when I didn't want it and never helped in the slightest when I hoped it would. The TCS on my 2nd gen is way better.
@@maxtwombly766 in the first two months of 2006 ford sold more F-150s then Toyota did that entire year. Just to put it into perspective, Toyota didnt have a LOT of incentive to put any sort of real effort into their trucks or their LSD's and which were clutched not geared so their lsd potential was...well bleh. On top of that just something like changing a battery went from a 30+ minute ordeal because of throttle relearns and such to a 5 minute ordeal also goes to show just how much tech went into the 2nd gen. Not just that but you didnt mention model years like an 06 1st gen has NOTHING on a 2020 tundra on is a first gen one is a second yet one is EONS above the other.
Anyway you spend less then a grand on a zip locker or geared LSD or "Auto locker"/"Auto unlocker" and it'll destroy any traction control system on any vehicle...There is a reason you dont see scoobarus on hells gate everyday and the ones that are there are there to be destroyed and beat on like it owes them money.
Gen 2 Nissan Xterra, please.
Yes absolutely! I really like these as flexible platforms... they check a lot of boxes.
Second gen Tundras are great, and I love my 2007 with 210,000 miles. However, they are pretty big which really limits them off road, especially with their width, break over angle, and weight. They are your typical fat pig full size truck, great for work and some mild off roading.
An 18/25? for the best truck ever? My 2010 TRD Offroad 4x4 with 290k miles has gotten me anywhere I want to go.
The 2nd gen million mile Tundras.
