I just got a 2008 tundra 4x4 crewmax with 4 wheel pkg and tow pkg and 150,000 miles on it, It was a great price with a full carmax report, arter a 3.5 hour drive home I only got 14.2 miles per gallon. After a full cleaning of sensors, air filter replacement and cleaning thottle body with new plugs with I got 17.4 miles per gallon with all those mile I was truely happy. Toyota's ROCKS.
This guy also doesn't understand how the 4WD system works. Drive in snow using 4H (which you can engage while driving); instead he keeps going into 4L from the video.
@guy proulx they might indicate an experienced work forces decision to direct their pirchase dollars. Do you think reliabiability, build quality, and resale value might be a consideration of a workforce that typically spends 4 to 7 hours a day in their trucks.
It's dependable, but it's old tech and not cheap. I've got a 2008 and I'm happy with it, but I'm not paying $50K for old tech because it's dependable. For $50K, I require more.
I just bought a new TRD Sport and am very happy with it. My last truck was a big pile of Chevy (Silverado 2500 HD) and it was in the shop at least once a month for things that should have never broke to begin with. To be fair I have owned several F-150's and they were very reliable gas guzzlers. So, I guess my new Tundra is "outdated", but that's okay with me because I'm a little outdated myself. I really don't give two craps about not having a WIFI hotspot or push-button start either! I have a truck with a real transmission (no plastic/epoxy clutch) and it will last me for twenty years! Also, it only has 300 miles on it but so far I'm averaging 17.4 MPG, so that's better than expected.
Just recently, a Ford 150 caught on fire and burn was burning the owner house down, more technologies more problem and money when crap hits the fan..I'll keep my tundra
Imo, the tundra TRD Pro is the best looking full size, the Tacoma TRD Pro is the best looking midsize, and the 4Runner TRD Pro (which I own) is the by far the best looking suv in the world. Those big 3 from Toyota are just perfect. I even love the simple basic outdated infotainment. No crazy tech that’s confusing and just stuff to mess with when your driving or a bunch of stuff that can go wrong and break or fail. Love the Manuel trunk, not a fan of automatic trunk doors, I find it much faster to just open and close myself and it’s just better for me. I also love the non push start. I used to have a highlander and I just love the feeling of turning the key and hearing the 4Runner engine beep and start. I love everything about these 3 trucks.
I say the same thing about the power lift gate. Yes it’s nice to run in the house and close it behind you or something when your hands are full. But a lot of the time. Probably the majority of the time, I could just open or close it faster myself.
I currently have a 2006 Tundra and swear by it. The things will just run forever if you take care of them, and their resale value (especially the 4WD models) is crazy good. When I buy my next truck, it will be another Tundra.
"It's really risking coming around again, much like 90's music." You're saying that like it's a bad thing... I dunno man, Pantera and Megadeth sounded pretty fuckin good in the 90's, as did At the Gates and Metallica.
I also have an f150 but after 10 years and 150k miles they are rusted out and ready to be traded. every ford seems to be this way. Toyota has great resale value and they treat their customers pretty well. I love ford trucks but they could do better. its not always about gadgets but quality and long lasting trucks. lets face it they want us coming back to buy another one after about 5-10 yrs anyway. show me the money!!!!
Toyota has kept it simple, Chevy, Ford, and Jeep keep adding more and more electronics that can and will mess up. They are not covered by warranty very well if at all and cost more to replace. Also if how big it is makes it hard for you to drive it that is your deal, if you can't figure out how to drive it in those situations properly.
All that you said is fair and reasonable. I preach pretty much the same philosophy about vehicles. There are a LOT of choices that will fit a LOT of different drivers. (Fortunately) Cannot expect a truck of this magnitude to do the same things that the luxury truck daily driver does. This truck is meant to be a work horse with some off road prowess. Toyota lovers maintain they would like to see some updates to some things, however, when it comes down to reliability and functionality, what works should not be removed for what is not proven. And that is where the fan base is at. Fanatics like to whine about the little details that are not there, but love the fact that the vehicle(s) continue on where rivals are going into repair shops. You mentioned this truck being #4 on the top selling list. You then did mention the #1 and #2 spot. However, I would like to know what the #3 is. lol Good review. Too bad about the snow being un passable with those stock tires not being proper for the weather out of the factory. But one cannot hold that failure against the truck itself. Just the choice in tires that are used on the TRD lines. My 2018 TRD Off Road 4Runner comes with adequate tires for most of the conditions I encounter. However, KO2's would have been WAY better for a stock tire on a TRD series vehicle. I did not buy this vehicle for a Sunday drive with the kids on a paved highway. I bought it to go where the pavement ends and the weather is less than favorable. And manufacturers should be choosing tires to do the job that the vehicle is meant to do from the get go.
The tundra is outdated However Way too many miss information in your review! BSM can be ordered and added from toyota.Also 4x4 mode absolutely can be switched on/off under 55m/h while the truck in motion!Only when switching to 4low need to stop and switch to N".The instruments are not outdated at all i love my 18’ sr5 (same as 2019) has digital speedometer so who cares which side on the speedometer is in the dash!Instruments are clean and modern!Love the look of them at night. Also turning radios never mentioned ,the best in class since forever. 2022 redesign needed for sure if toyota can get MPG to 30 that would set apart from other brands again.
Love Toyota Tundra and almost any other Toyota out there! Hope they continue to keep us guys happy who are happy with a no BS truck without all the bells and whistles! To much truck for some! Lol
WTF? He never drove a truck like this regularly in the past, but he feels his nervousness on two lane roads is warranted review item. If you say that while living with the truck, then you are probably driving a Raptor.
I have the same color tundra 2021 it has Apple car play , push to start , blind spot monitoring, heated seats. I love the truck and it’s 13mpg average 😃
At least he said "don't buy a full size rig if you don't need it". It seems a lot of people who drive their cars around the city like to attack truck owners as eco killing neanderthals with small genitalia. They complain about the high cost but fail to realize this can do everything a car can do, often with similar luxuries/options, but tows my boat, camper, gets me in the middle of nowhere, etc. I would never be without my truck...
Solved my "auto-4WD" issue on my 2011 Tundra by swapping to the transfer case they put in the Sequoia. Now I have AWD and 4WD aka 4WD with the center diff open or locked at the flick of a switch!
Problem with the luxury electronic accessories and gadgets on the Ford and Chevy is that they either aren’t reliable and are expensive to repair or they’re not used often enough to justify the investment. There’s beauty in simplicity.
I just bought a 2019 Tundra TRD Pro and love it... I'm sorry but I used to own Ford.. Dodge and Mazda and My last was a 4runner 17 I will never steer away from Toyota... My wife has the TRD Pro Tacoma.
You don’t drive it everyday I do since I first picked it off the lot take it up to the mountains snow or shine been the best truck and I tested every other truck out there and the Fox shocks and the best for this truck and any other truck Toyota is best for having these on here don’t know why other trucks don’t that’s why I went with the TRD PRO best it’s a PRO to the drive for every day task or drive
I know old video but i just traded my 2019 trd pro tacoma for this 2019 tundra trd pro because i needed better towing for my 21' offroad RV camper. The 4wd system is on demand you are supposed to engage it 60mph & under with a flick. That how engineers designed it
Toyota needs more people to know why they should buy a tundra if they want to break into the top 3. The current product fails to provide a good enough of an argument.
Should of had a plow on it. My Tundra pushes my 7'6" Fisher like a beast. And yes, old school is DA BEST SCHOOL, because at the end of the day my 13 year old Tundra with almost 200K miles will still start and drive and plow my driveway just as good when it hits 300K miles. Even though I do really want a new TRD, it's still the same truck as my 07 (witch ain't a bad thing). That also makes me think that's one of the reasons Tundras and Toyotas in general don't sell as high is because there owners love them and want to see how far they'll go before they die. Fords and Chevys sell alot because they die alot. I know I'm looking to get at least another 100,000 miles out of my Yota.
1794 is the top of the line model, it's the only one with heated AND cooled seats. Others only have the heated seats. TUNDRA's are not difficult to daily, I've never had problems parking or anything else
yeah, the Tundra is no bigger than a Ram or an F-150 or Silverado. If you can daily and park one of those, you can Daily and park a Tundra. Of course, you gotta be a truck person to do so...it's just a lifestyle.
Switching to 4h from 2 whd isn't that bad. you only have to stop when switching to 4low. this review is making this truck sound like crap. I have one and it is an amazing truck. I live in the mtns where snow is a common thing and it is a very good truck for this driving. Not having all of the touch screens, newest gauges etc isn't always a bad thing. less things to go wrong. This guy is a horrible reviewer.
Reviews are supposed to guide people without bias from the reviewer. Simply saying that people are ridiculous for buying a large truck is peak poor form.
Honestly, the only reason they tundra doesn't have an awd setting is simply because Toyota simply decided not to give it one. It's not because of durability, not unless anyone wants to suggest the 4wd system from the Land Cruiser isn't durable. And it's not being the the truck is old. Not only could Toyota have given the tundra an awd setting, they could have given it an an awd setting that would have been better and more durable than everyone else's. All they would have to do is take the 4wd system with the torsen center diff from the Sequoia. But they just didn't.
I bet if he just aired down the tires to the correct PSI for off-roading in deep snow, he would have been able to off road all day with out getting stuck.
It is dependable, but that doesn't make it the best. I have a 2008 and it's been great. But unless they keep the dependability, add a few gears to the trans, improve MPG and maybe kick up towing a bit, I'll be looking elsewhere. I see no reason to buy basically the same truck as I have now, for $50K. The fact we continue to praise Toyota for keeping the same darn truck for over 10 years, is why Toyota doesn't improve anything. They don't have to improve anything! We keep on buying it and praising them for keeping the same truck for over 10 years and selling it to us. Not me. Either greatly reduce the price of an old tech truck, or greatly improve it. A Briggs n Stratton engine is dependable, but I have no interest in one simply because it's dependable. Especially when it cost me nearly $50K.
It needs new engines and transmissions. It should get 17 mpg city and 23 highway. 13 & 15 is too low. Old tech is one thing and I get people like it for the sake of reliability, but the power train is obsolete.
I owned a 2005 Tundra for 13 years. It sounds like this has very limited updates from that truck. I'm currently driving a Ford F150 and I like several things about the Ford more. It handles and parks easier, the gas mileage is superior, the electronics package is much nicer, and the 4x4 system is nicer and much more advanced. I just wished it had Toyota's quality and longevity. There is little chance I'll get 175,000 miles and 13 years with this Ford. But the years I do get will be more enjoyable.
@@blackfreethinker7480 The Ford isn't broken down, but it will likely require more maintenance to last as long. The big mystery is why are the Toyota's lacking in features? Sure, some of the features of my Ford would be considered too cutting edge/unproven for Toyota to offer. But the dated feel of the Toyota interior is just laziness and/or cheapness on their part.
dahveed284 I prefer my vehicle to be reliable. I remember those old Ford Escorts that had the mechanized seat belt back in the 90s. Ford has always been focused on the wrong stuff. Make a truck that lasts and leave all the features to my smart phone
This would be better if at least some of the facts were correct, i.e. The Platinum is actually the top line and the only engine offered in the Tundra for this model year is the 5.7. Just a thought... Keep trying and you will eventually get more than 60% likes...
Dude it seems like you don’t know any about trucks. Toyota Tundra are te best And I like it because still has old school, forget about all new features other trucks has, they broke so easily and are expensive to fix. I love my tundra 2019
A man's truck. Not a push-button wimpy vehicle with all of the creature comforts. It is still "soft" by my standards. Trucks should have the option for a manual transmission and a physical throw lever to engage in 4WD. Manual roll down windows would be nice as well.
"While Americans can’t seem to get enough of the mid-size pickups from Japanese automakers, they absolutely shun their full-size trucks. According to data from WardsIntelligence, the highest market share Toyota has seen with Tundra was 9.1% and that was in 2007. It currently hovers in the 5% range. It’s even worse for Nissan. The best the Titan was able to muster was 3.5% of the market in 2005. Today it’s at 1.5%. With the Detroit Three commanding 94% of full-size pickup sales this year, it might almost make more sense for Toyota and Nissan to share a large truck platform." Autoline
Why did this guy make this video. Clearly he’s a silverado truck lover. By the way you’re wrong. You can switch the knob to four wheel drive WITHOUT having to do a complete stop. Just an fyi.
Doesn't the Tundra TRD Pro have a self extraction function?? Where it gets itself unstuck all by it's own. Also, dependability is paramount and if that means less goodies, then....oh well.
Look into how auto 4wd works, there is no way to manufacturer that style of transfer case to meet Toyota's strict quality and durability standards. I will keep my quality and durability and you can stay at the dealership service center.
You don’t know what you’re talking about do you? Tons of misinformation here plus calling it the wrong name. It’s a truck and best of all it’s a Toyota. It will get you where you want to go today and in 20 years with 500k miles and minimal maintenance. It will easily pull your boat or a broken down current gen Silverado or Ram.
Big truck made people talk😄😀 Ask any real truck guy(that aged driving truck daily,using to tow daily)... He will never say a word about mpg or push button,or info screen size or even rear locker..... Just stop by the old man AND ASK. I daily drive this thing,tow for living....your negative comments make me smile but i still will not tell you all WHY i will keep tundra untill wheels fall off. Find a truck guy with 10year exp+ and ASK. ##some of them so anerd with "american made and their dad told them or even backyard drinker friend to buy ford### but experience will overlap any stupidity in their mind. There a good reasons why they keep this truck same way from 2007. complex of reasons. Good luck guys.
Your explaination of the truck is so off its crazy.Toyota does offer a Double cab in all models including Pro...Wake up dude..Take a Toyota motor over any competition.
You are correct, people are going to think you are a sissy. When you talk about truck owners needing to be able to park at the mall, I think you need to take your wife to the mall to buy shoes in your Prius. If you cant park this or any other truck in a space maybe you should retake your driving test, especially with back up cameras, sensors in the bumpers etc. I have owned 3 king ranch trucks from the 150 to 450 and have found the 150 to be horribly unreliable, especially with the eco boom engines I have experienced. I did finally buy a tundra and have over 200k miles and would not hesitate to pull a trailer across the country with it, within a 25 foot limit even though the truck can pull much more by weight, commonly I see people get in trouble by not thinking about wind. The truck has been very reliable only needing brakes and a belt to this point. Mine is the Platinum, (which is actually the highest trim, just above the 1794 by the way) and I do get 14.5 miles per gallon in the city and up to 18 on the highway with no load. The truck is very dated, I agree, but so is my hammer and it is still one of the most reliable and useful tools in my box. My advice is this, if you buy more toys like the King Ranch, they sometimes take more attention to maintain and may be less reliable. Buy what makes you happy.
That v8 although extremely smooth and powerful hasn't been the most reliable motor out in truck land but has suffered some valvetrain issues. How many years will go by before toy improves transmission efficiency and mpg on this truck. Brakes are stellar. Frame is not greatest for towing. Still one of nest looking half tons. But is Toyota only competing for badboy look customers who are uninformed or disinterested in powertrain advancements over last decade. Good truck for posers.
I have a 19 platinum and I hate it. Very slow, bumpy, old fashion, gas guzzler, and sound system is horrible . I regret purchasing this truck. I’m trading it in for the 2020 denali 2500 diesel.
Not impressed by your review. Why have a TRD Pro that you didn't take off road? Try again with either snow tires or after the snow is gone. If you don't like 'big rigs' that's fine. Why judge others who do? If you buy only things that are practical, good for you. Not everyone wants to be like you. We don't all buy a vehicle that will easily maneuver in mall parking lots. 🙄 Your review failed to mention price differences between manufacturers. A similarly equipped Ford Raptor is considerably more expensive and considerably less reliable. Same goes for Chevy and Ram. I, personally, don't care about endless nanny features and specifically bought my Tundra without as many of them as I could. I can drive the truck without them, as everyone should be able to. Skid control is exceptional because the truck has more power than it needs and could spin out easily without it. I also don't care a bit about infotainment features because driving is the point, not playing music/games/videos. In my opinion, after owning a Tacoma for several years, the Tacoma is more practical for running around cities. I live in a smaller town full of 'big rigs' (🤦♂️) and the Tundra functions without problems here. If I move back to Phoenix... I don't know, I might get a Taco. Got more malls there.
In 2018 they sold over 100 thousand of the these old played out land yacht. Ford has the reign this long and if you payed any attention, Toyota is slow at upgrading their products because they are all about QDR. I don’t think there plan is to take over the truck market. So bash away.
Toyota is a practical company they put the R & D money into projects and hopefully customers buy the vehicle in good volume car, suv or truck. Because the Tundra sells about 120 000 units per year they want to make there money back and a good profit before a total redesign which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if they hit a home run in QDR and fuel economy maybe they sell another 15000 units per year which doesn't move the needle enough to do a faster redesign cycle like the big 3 do every 3 to 5 years. I own a 2015 SR5 + 5.7 trd off road which has 89000 kilometers in central Canada and although the fuel economy could be better I knew when I got the truck that I wasn't going to be getting 30 mpg. So far the only things done are oil changes, tire rotation, air filters and dif and transfer case fluid changes. Wouldn't expect much else with a newer vehicle so my expectations are satisfied so far. I think they could of probably every 2 or 3 years increased mpg with a 8 speed transmission and also Atkinson cycle which is proven and trouble free but again they probably ran the numbers and figured not enough new sales to justify a mid cycle major refresh. Hopefully the 2021 redesign will address issues and be a home run.
I just got a 2008 tundra 4x4 crewmax with 4 wheel pkg and tow pkg and 150,000 miles on it, It was a great price with a full carmax report, arter a 3.5 hour drive home I only got 14.2 miles per gallon. After a full cleaning of sensors, air filter replacement and cleaning thottle body with new plugs with I got 17.4 miles per gallon with all those mile I was truely happy. Toyota's ROCKS.
This is a mans truck, Toyota is Reliable + Resale value is king now I drop the mic
This guy sounds like a Prius owner.
This guy also doesn't understand how the 4WD system works. Drive in snow using 4H (which you can engage while driving); instead he keeps going into 4L from the video.
All these is true but in terms of crash ratings is the worse of all.
Thats why toyota leads sales in the half ton market...right? Nows the time you telll me that most half ton owners are highly misinformed...
@guy proulx they might indicate an experienced work forces decision to direct their pirchase dollars. Do you think reliabiability, build quality, and resale value might be a consideration of a workforce that typically spends 4 to 7 hours a day in their trucks.
Quality. Durability. Reliability. No auto 4-wheel drive wanted. This truck gets driven everyday and isn't an issue for anyone. TRD Pro!
Don’t kid yourself. It’s still the best truck on the market.
Yes it is I’m still driving a first Gen tundra with 250000 miles runs great I just put 33 inch BFGs on it I love it
Love my 14 tundra 4x4
It's dependable, but it's old tech and not cheap. I've got a 2008 and I'm happy with it, but I'm not paying $50K for old tech because it's dependable. For $50K, I require more.
twoweeled soto like what? Eco boost?

Old school will always be best
Just recently, a Ford 150 caught on fire and burn was burning the owner house down, more technologies more problem and money when crap hits the fan..I'll keep my tundra
Sonny Phommarine and raptor lead to 13,257 death reported
Ford f150 = new tech = fire
Tundra = old tech, cool colors = best truck...?
Yes
I like my tundra. Old school is the best.
Imo, the tundra TRD Pro is the best looking full size, the Tacoma TRD Pro is the best looking midsize, and the 4Runner TRD Pro (which I own) is the by far the best looking suv in the world.

You make it sound so hard to switch modes. To go to 2hi-4hi, you just turn the knob as long as it’s under 60mph. You only have to stop for 4lo.
I currently have a 2006 Tundra and swear by it. The things will just run forever if you take care of them, and their resale value (especially the 4WD models) is crazy good. When I buy my next truck, it will be another Tundra.
Auto journalist calling the featured vehicle by the wrong name lol.
"It's really risking coming around again, much like 90's music."
You're saying that like it's a bad thing...
I dunno man, Pantera and Megadeth sounded pretty fuckin good in the 90's, as did At the Gates and Metallica.
I still like this DINOSAUR 👌
Jason Gee Love my Tundra to death! Don’t care about tech, I just like the big V8.
And you don’t need to stop the truck to engage or disengage 4 four wheel drive ...
Thank you.....I was annoyed when he said that lol
You can get a double cab pro in Canada. Also heated seats are standard
Damn!Good for you freezy friends!
Love my “ancient” 20 Trd Pro Tundra!!
I also have an f150 but after 10 years and 150k miles they are rusted out and ready to be traded. every ford seems to be this way. Toyota has great resale value and they treat their customers pretty well. I love ford trucks but they could do better. its not always about gadgets but quality and long lasting trucks. lets face it they want us coming back to buy another one after about 5-10 yrs anyway. show me the money!!!!

Agreed completely! first thing I did when I bought my 4Runner was drive to Discount Tire and put ko2s on it LOL
The tundra is outdated However Way too many miss information in your review!
BSM can be ordered and added from toyota.Also 4x4 mode absolutely can be switched on/off under 55m/h while the truck in motion!Only when switching to 4low need to stop and switch to N".The instruments are not outdated at all i love my 18’ sr5 (same as 2019) has digital speedometer so who cares which side on the speedometer is in the dash!Instruments are clean and modern!Love the look of them at night.
Also turning radios never mentioned ,the best in class since forever.
2022 redesign needed for sure if toyota can get MPG to 30 that would set apart from other brands again.
Thank you. This was a pretty uniformed review and that was a big example.
Hell, if they can get combined MPG to 20 they will kill the rest of the market. I love the Tundra but those MPG's kill me.
Love Toyota Tundra and almost any other Toyota out there! Hope they continue to keep us guys happy who are happy with a no BS truck without all the bells and whistles! To much truck for some! Lol
Only one reason for tundra. I DO NOT want to be visiting the dealership
So so true!!
Exactly!

The back window has rolled all the way down for many many many years
The 4Runner started it
90's music is awesome dude!!!!!
If you're used to driving sports cars, don't review trucks. You sound ridiculous.
Yes man
Stopped watching at 2 minutes. Narrator is disconnected from what we want from a half ton truck.
At least he said "don't buy a full size rig if you don't need it".

Reliability....nuff said
I have 19 tundra same ,just red.You can swap from 4x4 wheel drive to 2 Wheel. Drive on the fly, says it in manual. Done it many times
I just bought a 2019 Tundra TRD Pro and love it... I'm sorry but I used to own Ford.. Dodge and Mazda and My last was a 4runner 17 I will never steer away from Toyota... My wife has the TRD Pro Tacoma.
Does he know anything about trucks?
No
You don’t drive it everyday I do since I first picked it off the lot take it up to the mountains snow or shine been the best truck and I tested every other truck out there and the Fox shocks and the best for this truck and any other truck Toyota is best for having these on here don’t know why other trucks don’t that’s why I went with the TRD PRO best it’s a PRO to the drive for every day task or drive
EDDIES vlogs you are so right
I know old video but i just traded my 2019 trd pro tacoma for this 2019 tundra trd pro because i needed better towing for my 21' offroad RV camper. The 4wd system is on demand you are supposed to engage it 60mph & under with a flick. That how engineers designed it
A Locking Diff would have helped!! Come on Toyota, the Tacoma and 4Runner have it.
Toyotas are durable and dependable
0:03 Toyota TACOMA?
We did three takes. One was wrong. Looks like the wrong made it into the review. 🤦🏻♂️
I caught that also. lol I had to do a double take to figure out WHY that truck was being referenced since this was NOT that truck. lol
This guy🙄... people know why they buy the Tundra. Even if this guy doesn’t.
Toyota needs more people to know why they should buy a tundra if they want to break into the top 3. The current product fails to provide a good enough of an argument.
Should of had a plow on it. My Tundra pushes my 7'6" Fisher like a beast.
And yes, old school is DA BEST SCHOOL, because at the end of the day my 13 year old Tundra with almost 200K miles will still start and drive and plow my driveway just as good when it hits 300K miles. Even though I do really want a new TRD, it's still the same truck as my 07 (witch ain't a bad thing). That also makes me think that's one of the reasons Tundras and Toyotas in general don't sell as high is because there owners love them and want to see how far they'll go before they die. Fords and Chevys sell alot because they die alot. I know I'm looking to get at least another 100,000 miles out of my Yota.
That Voddo Blue is my favorite color.
1794 is the top of the line model, it's the only one with heated AND cooled seats. Others only have the heated seats. TUNDRA's are not difficult to daily, I've never had problems parking or anything else
yeah, the Tundra is no bigger than a Ram or an F-150 or Silverado. If you can daily and park one of those, you can Daily and park a Tundra. Of course, you gotta be a truck person to do so...it's just a lifestyle.
There is some liars like a stop to switch on 4x4 I always switch around 55 mph no problems
Switching to 4h from 2 whd isn't that bad. you only have to stop when switching to 4low. this review is making this truck sound like crap. I have one and it is an amazing truck. I live in the mtns where snow is a common thing and it is a very good truck for this driving. Not having all of the touch screens, newest gauges etc isn't always a bad thing. less things to go wrong. This guy is a horrible reviewer.
Reviews are supposed to guide people without bias from the reviewer. Simply saying that people are ridiculous for buying a large truck is peak poor form.
Honestly, the only reason they tundra doesn't have an awd setting is simply because Toyota simply decided not to give it one. It's not because of durability, not unless anyone wants to suggest the 4wd system from the Land Cruiser isn't durable. And it's not being the the truck is old. Not only could Toyota have given the tundra an awd setting, they could have given it an an awd setting that would have been better and more durable than everyone else's. All they would have to do is take the 4wd system with the torsen center diff from the Sequoia. But they just didn't.
I bet if he just aired down the tires to the correct PSI for off-roading in deep snow, he would have been able to off road all day with out getting stuck.
It is dependable, but that doesn't make it the best. I have a 2008 and it's been great. But unless they keep the dependability, add a few gears to the trans, improve MPG and maybe kick up towing a bit, I'll be looking elsewhere. I see no reason to buy basically the same truck as I have now, for $50K. The fact we continue to praise Toyota for keeping the same darn truck for over 10 years, is why Toyota doesn't improve anything. They don't have to improve anything! We keep on buying it and praising them for keeping the same truck for over 10 years and selling it to us. Not me. Either greatly reduce the price of an old tech truck, or greatly improve it. A Briggs n Stratton engine is dependable, but I have no interest in one simply because it's dependable. Especially when it cost me nearly $50K.
It needs new engines and transmissions. It should get 17 mpg city and 23 highway. 13 & 15 is too low. Old tech is one thing and I get people like it for the sake of reliability, but the power train is obsolete.
I owned a 2005 Tundra for 13 years. It sounds like this has very limited updates from that truck. I'm currently driving a Ford F150 and I like several things about the Ford more. It handles and parks easier, the gas mileage is superior, the electronics package is much nicer, and the 4x4 system is nicer and much more advanced. I just wished it had Toyota's quality and longevity. There is little chance I'll get 175,000 miles and 13 years with this Ford. But the years I do get will be more enjoyable.
dahveed284 Lol. You’ll have great features in a broken down truck
@@blackfreethinker7480 The Ford isn't broken down, but it will likely require more maintenance to last as long. The big mystery is why are the Toyota's lacking in features? Sure, some of the features of my Ford would be considered too cutting edge/unproven for Toyota to offer. But the dated feel of the Toyota interior is just laziness and/or cheapness on their part.
dahveed284 I prefer my vehicle to be reliable. I remember those old Ford Escorts that had the mechanized seat belt back in the 90s. Ford has always been focused on the wrong stuff. Make a truck that lasts and leave all the features to my smart phone
My 2006 F-150 is at 230,000 miles and still runs great. Some of the newer models have issues though.
Please do a review of dodge ram
The biggest problem with TRD PRO Tundra is no rear locking diff!
This would be better if at least some of the facts were correct, i.e. The Platinum is actually the top line and the only engine offered in the Tundra for this model year is the 5.7. Just a thought... Keep trying and you will eventually get more than 60% likes...
Dude it seems like you don’t know any about trucks. Toyota Tundra are te best And I like it because still has old school, forget about all new features other trucks has, they broke so easily and are expensive to fix. I love my tundra 2019
A man's truck. Not a push-button wimpy vehicle with all of the creature comforts. It is still "soft" by my standards. Trucks should have the option for a manual transmission and a physical throw lever to engage in 4WD. Manual roll down windows would be nice as well.
we dig this truck in middle east
"While Americans can’t seem to get enough of the mid-size pickups from Japanese automakers, they absolutely shun their full-size trucks. According to data from WardsIntelligence, the highest market share Toyota has seen with Tundra was 9.1% and that was in 2007. It currently hovers in the 5% range. It’s even worse for Nissan. The best the Titan was able to muster was 3.5% of the market in 2005. Today it’s at 1.5%. With the Detroit Three commanding 94% of full-size pickup sales this year, it might almost make more sense for Toyota and Nissan to share a large truck platform." Autoline
Your numbers are all wrong on this truck. aint no crewmax trd pro tundra payload 1500 lbs, its at max 1100 lbs
Tundra was a nice truck 10 years ago, but so many other trucks that are much better. Great review and nice to see someone honest!
Reliability bud
Why did this guy make this video. Clearly he’s a silverado truck lover. By the way you’re wrong. You can switch the knob to four wheel drive WITHOUT having to do a complete stop. Just an fyi.
If only it had the 4.5 turbo Diesel v8 from the 200 series
Doesn't the Tundra TRD Pro have a self extraction function?? Where it gets itself unstuck all by it's own. Also, dependability is paramount and if that means less goodies, then....oh well.
We just finished editing a demo of that feature on the Tacoma TRD Pro... our video coming out next Tuesday.
Look into how auto 4wd works, there is no way to manufacturer that style of transfer case to meet Toyota's strict quality and durability standards. I will keep my quality and durability and you can stay at the dealership service center.
You don’t have to stop the tundra to switch into 4WD high.
Old school is better. If it ain’t broke don’t fix that’s Toyota’s motto. I like plain and simple trucks anyways.
Used to be 50k. Now Trd pro is 75k
8:10 your on the money, don’t buy a big truck when a hatchback will do … and save you $1000s in fuel costs
Please learn how to use four wheel drive system.
You don’t know what you’re talking about do you? Tons of misinformation here plus calling it the wrong name. It’s a truck and best of all it’s a Toyota. It will get you where you want to go today and in 20 years with 500k miles and minimal maintenance. It will easily pull your boat or a broken down current gen Silverado or Ram.
Big truck made people talk😄😀
Ask any real truck guy(that aged driving truck daily,using to tow daily)...
He will never say a word about mpg or push button,or info screen size or even rear locker.....
Just stop by the old man AND ASK.
I daily drive this thing,tow for living....your negative comments make me smile but i still will not tell you all WHY i will keep tundra untill wheels fall off.
Find a truck guy with 10year exp+ and ASK.
##some of them so anerd with "american made and their dad told them or even backyard drinker friend to buy ford### but experience will overlap any stupidity in their mind.
There a good reasons why they keep this truck same way from 2007. complex of reasons.
Good luck guys.
I'd keep my Tundra over a Silverado or F150 any day. Except the Raptor.
You said Toyota Tacoma at the beginning. I guess you caught it.
Hahaha right. Totally lost me after that. Can’t trust a review if they can’t even get the name of the truck right right off the bat.
does 2020 still offer voodoo blue
Same truck since 2016
Your explaination of the truck is so off its crazy.Toyota does offer a Double cab in all models including Pro...Wake up dude..Take a Toyota motor over any competition.
What a devilish video!
You are correct, people are going to think you are a sissy. When you talk about truck owners needing to be able to park at the mall, I think you need to take your wife to the mall to buy shoes in your Prius. If you cant park this or any other truck in a space maybe you should retake your driving test, especially with back up cameras, sensors in the bumpers etc. I have owned 3 king ranch trucks from the 150 to 450 and have found the 150 to be horribly unreliable, especially with the eco boom engines I have experienced. I did finally buy a tundra and have over 200k miles and would not hesitate to pull a trailer across the country with it, within a 25 foot limit even though the truck can pull much more by weight, commonly I see people get in trouble by not thinking about wind. The truck has been very reliable only needing brakes and a belt to this point. Mine is the Platinum, (which is actually the highest trim, just above the 1794 by the way) and I do get 14.5 miles per gallon in the city and up to 18 on the highway with no load. The truck is very dated, I agree, but so is my hammer and it is still one of the most reliable and useful tools in my box. My advice is this, if you buy more toys like the King Ranch, they sometimes take more attention to maintain and may be less reliable. Buy what makes you happy.
I guest this is what happen when Japanese automakers stop designing their own line up and hand then off to other countries
is this a ford commercial
LMAO not a rolling office complete with kitchenet
yeah pretty much sums of modern trucks
Lol what a hoke when I said I have to stop and change it to 4wd. Smh
That v8 although extremely smooth and powerful hasn't been the most reliable motor out in truck land but has suffered some valvetrain issues. How many years will go by before toy improves transmission efficiency and mpg on this truck. Brakes are stellar. Frame is not greatest for towing. Still one of nest looking half tons. But is Toyota only competing for badboy look customers who are uninformed or disinterested in powertrain advancements over last decade. Good truck for posers.
Just say you suck at parking. Quit taking it out on the truck!
Testing a 12 year old truck? I think they did that in 2007 when toyota first build it, stop being ridiculous and get a real job.
I have a 19 platinum and I hate it. Very slow, bumpy, old fashion, gas guzzler, and sound system is horrible . I regret purchasing this truck. I’m trading it in for the 2020 denali 2500 diesel.
I though the 1794 was the top trim
TRD Pro is +$2k more than the 1794 edition.
Y
Not impressed by your review. Why have a TRD Pro that you didn't take off road? Try again with either snow tires or after the snow is gone.
If you don't like 'big rigs' that's fine. Why judge others who do? If you buy only things that are practical, good for you. Not everyone wants to be like you. We don't all buy a vehicle that will easily maneuver in mall parking lots. 🙄
Your review failed to mention price differences between manufacturers. A similarly equipped Ford Raptor is considerably more expensive and considerably less reliable. Same goes for Chevy and Ram.
I, personally, don't care about endless nanny features and specifically bought my Tundra without as many of them as I could. I can drive the truck without them, as everyone should be able to. Skid control is exceptional because the truck has more power than it needs and could spin out easily without it. I also don't care a bit about infotainment features because driving is the point, not playing music/games/videos.
In my opinion, after owning a Tacoma for several years, the Tacoma is more practical for running around cities. I live in a smaller town full of 'big rigs' (🤦♂️) and the Tundra functions without problems here. If I move back to Phoenix... I don't know, I might get a Taco. Got more malls there.
I suggest you check out our video coming up this Tuesday.
In 2018 they sold over 100 thousand of the these old played out land yacht. Ford has the reign this long and if you payed any attention, Toyota is slow at upgrading their products because they are all about QDR. I don’t think there plan is to take over the truck market. So bash away.
QDR?
Weird Music quality dependability reliability
Toyota is a practical company they put the R & D money into projects and hopefully customers buy the vehicle in good volume car, suv or truck. Because the Tundra sells about 120 000 units per year they want to make there money back and a good profit before a total redesign which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if they hit a home run in QDR and fuel economy maybe they sell another 15000 units per year which doesn't move the needle enough to do a faster redesign cycle like the big 3 do every 3 to 5 years. I own a 2015 SR5 + 5.7 trd off road which has 89000 kilometers in central Canada and although the fuel economy could be better I knew when I got the truck that I wasn't going to be getting 30 mpg. So far the only things done are oil changes, tire rotation, air filters and dif and transfer case fluid changes. Wouldn't expect much else with a newer vehicle so my expectations are satisfied so far. I think they could of probably every 2 or 3 years increased mpg with a 8 speed transmission and also Atkinson cycle which is proven and trouble free but again they probably ran the numbers and figured not enough new sales to justify a mid cycle major refresh. Hopefully the 2021 redesign will address issues and be a home run.
This guy is a joke on trucks, stick to cars my friend.
👍👍👍👍
Lost me at 4 door. I only like 2 door trucks....yes, I know I am in the minority. I'll stick with my 2007 4x4, 5.7 standard cab Tundra
Driver error
Stick to cars please.
Too much gas!
Needs a rear locker !.Tacomas and 4Runners have it. Doesn't make sense.
What a whiner
Complaints about the infotainment system, wow Just swap it out for a better one smh.
