- A little over a year and a little over 40k miles, and I figured it's time to do a review on the Tundra. This will definitely trigger the V8 purists and GM fanboys!

40k in one year! I'd call this some pretty thorough testing.
Yeah I'm hoping to cut back on the miles this year by leaving it out west and flying in and out!
@@RevereOverland did you paint the a piller on the blue tundra? Looks a lot better
2022 Honda civic with 250k miles google it
@@Hernsamayou cant compare with a uber/lift driving
@@Hernsama what’s the significance or relevancy to the vehicle that’s talked about in this video? But just to keep you busy, Why don’t you Google a 1,000,000 mile Prius
Don’t own a Tundra yet, will probably be my next truck, and I’m not scared of the turbo six at all. I’m about to hit 184,000 miles on my 2015 f150 with the 3.5 eco boost so I know longevity won’t be a problem.
I appreciate this review. I’ve owned my Tundra SR5 OR TRD 4x4 Crewmax with 6.5 bed that came with premium options for close to 6 months and now have over 10K miles. No rattles, no squeaks, no wind noise. Loving it so far!
I’m glad you’ve had a good experience!
By far the best review on a vehicle I’ve ever seen! Unlike every other review, you managed to succinctly cover all the salient details and compare other relevant vehicle competitors as well. I can’t tell you how many times in the past I’ve had to watch numerous videos on one vehicle to get the info I was looking for. This post was also entertaining to listen to/watch. Thank you.
As a pilot, and someone seriously interested in the 2022+ Tundras, I completely appreciate you factoring in wind with your MPG @ 4:30 +
Went from 20 Trd Pro to 23 1794 and WOW what an upgrade!! The plush ride, effortless powa, and tons of new features make it a treat to drive!
Did they improve upon the memory settings to include more than just the seat? I’m looking at getting the same model in ‘24
Yes they did! You can actually program individual settings to your key fob now and it will remember your driver profile when you start the truck!! @@4jmbl
@@4jmbl yes it’s an improvement. There’s also an adjustment for under your knee.
I was going to get a 2020 TRD PRO and bought a LIMITED 2022 TRD OFF ROAD with 17K miles- I am more than satisfied with this truck. As an owner of the outgoing gen., I really like the newer gen. trucks.
@@malachi487 great choice! Although I did love my Trd Pro, It felt very old & lacked power.
Fair and concise as always. Shocking you don't have 5x the subscribers by now, your channel has the best overland content on CZcams, hands down. Keep on keeping on!
Every vehicle is a compromise between different factors that matter to us. It could be on road handling, off road ability, space, towing capacity, where it's made, and even looks. Where we fall on that compromise varies, so everyone’s vehicle of choice will be different. There's nothing wrong with having a German or Japanese made vehicle, or a vehicle that can tow less, or one that isn't the best on or off road, as long as it meets your needs.
The Tundra happened to be the best for my wants and needs. It's not perfect, but no vehicle is. If you think your truck/car is perfect, you're wrong, and you're probably the person I was making fun of in this video!
EDIT TO UPDATE: I got a call from Toyota customer service about 30 minutes before this video went live to say that Toyota will be covering the replacement wing mirror camera. I had emailed their customer service department about a week ago and they called within a couple of days saying they would investigate.
Beautiful truck. The 37’s and the lift looks fantastic.
I love the Tundra and appreciated your honest review, thank you. We bought a new Tundra in 2017 5.7L and tow a 19’ Airstream and average 12.5-13.5 mpg towing which makes me happy with 386hp
My arguments are exactly what you stated about the towing and the larger tires. Because of the 3.31 rear end it all but kills what made the previous generation so great which was when you put larger tires the mpg doesn’t drop dramatically because it has the rear ended can handle the extra weight of course up to a point. I have 35 inch nitto ridge grappler’s tires on my truck and I get the same mpg that you get which is 14 in town and I can still get 16.5 on the highway and if I keep it around 70 mph it’s around 17 mpg. Also, I tow regularly between 5000 pounds and 8000 pounds and I have never gotten below 9.8 mpg it’s usually around 10.5 mpg to 11 mpg. This is why I bought a 2021 was because that naturally aspirated V8 and that 4.30 rear end is incredible. Don’t even get me started on the turning radius. Lastly, the reason I went to the tundra was because the twin turbos went out in my F150 and they cost $6000 and I didn’t want to spend it especially when the truck only had 128,000 miles on it. So, if you think $6000 is cheap all the power to you.
One of THE best review I’ve watched, and trust me I’ve watched a lot as I have been reviewing pros/cons of trading my 2014 Tundra to 2022. Good job, you just got a new subscriber.
It's funny how just about every comment in every comment section everywhere talks about how ugly it is, but my real world experience asking people about it almost always gets a positive remark (and no, I don't own one just yet so they're not sparing my feelings).
I think your rig looks great! I love the front bumper. Great build and thank you for putting out awesome content.
I have a 2016 Tundra 5.7L. I hope the new Tundra winds up being reliable since one day I will need to make a choice for a new Tundra. My jury is still out but I am rooting for the Tundras success.
Excellent review! I’ve experienced all three of the issues you listed (rear window trim, passenger side camera blowing out, and broken seat trim) and Toyota has replaced all three at no cost. This truck is far from perfect, but I’ve really enjoyed my year+ of ownership. Working with a good Toyota dealership has really helped make those issues seem minor; parts have always arrived quickly and the issue is resolved in less than a week.
what year tundra? how many miles?
@@korbekleeninc.974 2022, 25k miles.
@@metalheadtundra I got a 24 lift going on in a couple days. got stuck on you tube watching people with problems with the truck
@@korbekleeninc.974 sweet! Yeah, there’s a lot of negativity surrounding these trucks and the move to the V6, so it’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of negativity on CZcams, Reddit, and some of the Facebook groups. For me, the technology upgrade alone was worth the move from the older gen truck.
went from a 99 ram 1500 with a caset player to a 23 platnium. yeah i get about the same gas millage with 35s, but its way more capable and all the tech is lovely. dont even get me started on the headlights. who could of thought that you can SEE at night!
0:41, I was not expecting that. You nailed it!😂
Lol!
Awesome honest review, great job. Just the level of detail someone can actually use to really get to know the vehicle. I debated very heavily between the new Tundra but did go with the '22 F250 Tremor with the 7.3 as I really want to get a 5th wheel eventually.
I sure love my crew max 4x4 sr5 ,very quiet,smooth , had my 7 months and only 1,600 miles on it . Thanks for your review 👍
Thanks for the detailed update! I’m waiting for the 2024 and hoping they have a lot of these issues corrected. 🤞
In a similar position to you, maybe some info within 60 days.
I find the fuel mileage while towing interesting. I had a 2008 Tundra SR5 TRD OffRoad 5.7L V8 with the TRD exhaust and CAI. I towed a 5000 lb trailer from So Cal to northwest Montana about a dozen times at the interstate speed limit. The the truck was also loaded with close to a thousand pounds of gear, family and two 17.5 foot kayaks on a roof rack. Round trip was about 3000 miles with a grand total of about 35,000 miles. Overall mileage for my 5.7L Tundra was 12.5 MPG, with a range of 7.0 to 15 MPG, depending on head or tail winds and hills. The stretch from Mesquite, NV to Trermonton, UT was the killer for MPG. Hills, bad traffic and an 80 MPH speed limit. I traded the Tundra in, at 250,000 miles, for a 2021 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition. Miss that truck! As the owner of two turbocharged cars, I am just not yet convinced of the long-term durability. Turbos are an expendable item. I do love the fact that turbo engines do not lose power at higher elevations as NA engines do. I have found that, after owning three roughly 400 HP engines, two of which were NA one one turbocharged, a 3.6L twin turbo in a Porsche Macan Turbo (410 HP with 415 lb/ft), the real world fuel economy between them is not all that different. Maybe 2 MPG, depending on driving. I wish the bigger tank had been available when I bought my Tundra. 26.4 gallons was a bit shy. The 24.3 gallon tank on the Land Cruiser is a joke, though at my age, frequent visits to the necessary are becoming more of a reality. This is so far, the best review of the new Tundra I have seen or read. Thanks.
Just purchased a 2023 tundra. I absolutely love driving the truck.
Haven't owned mine for very long, about 5 months, but I LOVE it. It's so smooth and easy to drive. I wish I would have bought a higher trim, so I could've gotten things like a front camera, blind spot monitoring, and the bigger screen.
You should still have blind spot monitoring. All Toyotas have all the safety features. Even my 2020 rav4 base model has it.
@Andrew Ives It doesn't have it. It's not standard on the SR5. I confirmed it with my dealership. I have a 2023 Toyota Tundra, with the TSS Off Road package. A little disappointing, but oh well.
I had a 22 sr5 when it came out and got totaled a few months ago.. now driving a 23 platinum and i like all of the features from the higher trim as compared to my previous tss off road
@Juan Barrientos Sorry to hear about your SR5, but it sounds like you got a pretty good upgrade. The Platinum looks really good.
@@andrewives5001not unless it came with the convenience package
Excellent review. Honest and no sugar coating. Your "standard youtube viewer" impression was hilarious. Really really funny. I can also attest as someone who buys "merican", my last Ram 2500 literally had printed "Hecho en Mexico" on the door jamb, while my Toyota Camry was assembled in the USA.
Lol! The Ram 2500 is still a great truck. I could probably be persuaded to get a Power Wagon at the right price! I saw you can get the 2500 Rebel with the Cummins now too.
well played...truck has come a long way, looks great, performs as needed...keep on truckin! cheers Rob!
Thanks for the 40,000 mile review. I bought a '22 1794 Edition 6.5' bed 4x4 with air suspension last summer for just under MSRP. It was built in May 2022. I have just over 11,000 miles on it now. It tows 8,000 lb travel trailer just fine with the standard mirrors and non-hybrid engine. The ride without load was a bit jittery in the back end, but adjusting the air suspension helped. I did have some wind noise from the RR window, but the dealer addressed that. I still have a driver's door gasket issue that makes a noise like tape being pulled off and on. Very minor, but I will have it addressed during my next service. No modifications other than an aluminum folding bed cover. I get 17.5 - 18 MPG mixed driving and as high as 22 MPG on long trips with passengers and a few hundred pounds of gear in the bed. Towing has been about 13 - 15 MPG depending on weather and elevation.
I agree with you about some of the annoyances. Most of them could be addressed with software/firmware updates, but it seems Toyota is not interested in that even if they could make some money off them.
Did you adjust air suspension or your dealer? Mine bottoms out on dips
I live in Ontario CANADA our SSM Dealer had 4 new Tundra's with low Mileage 3.5 Turbo Engines were replaced that i know of... I LEASED 2023 Tundra and put about 500 miles on it and had my transfer case and front differential replaced .. It took over 3 months to replace the parts, because the truck model was new .. The Dealer was very helpful and gave me a TUNDRA for a loaner ,also the TOYOTA CORP. gave me a compensation package for the inconvenience ... I've been dealing with Toyota for 40 years ,because i been treated with respect as a costumer very good service.. I said to TOYOTA CORP. that i hope this is a millstone QUALITY MUST BE PRIORITY... They wanted me to purchase it, said NO not yet there is to many moving parts like 2 extra rads , hoses , electric motors , sensors , fuses , relays , wiring , turbo wastegates, twin turbos, ETC like i said just to many thing that can go wrong ... The question is how many Miles will you get before MAJOR things start to FAIL WILL I GET 250,000 MILES BEFORE REPAIRS ... These Trucks are not cheap NOWADAYS ....
I agree with you on the Limited. That’s what I have, but it also comes with the airbags which are awesome when adjusting to tow and loading stuff.
I appreciate your pragmatic objectivity very much and enjoy your "tongue-in-cheek" subjectivity. Excellent review - keep the great content coming!
Thanks, will do!
Best long term review I've watched, which is most of them on CZcams. Great vid! +1
Still a little leary of the new drivetrain, but one of the best things about Toyota and what contributes to their great reliability is that Toyota isn't afraid to make changes and fixes year to year. Many manufacturers will only fix something in a current generation if it's a forced recall or something catastrophic. Where Toyota will recognize an issue, get it fixed for current owners through a TSB and roll out that fix to future years of the same generation. This is why you'll often hear people complain about the reliability of a new generation of Toyotas, but by the end of that generation it's regarded as hyper reliable. Just look at the current gen 4Runner and Tacoma. Both had issues in their first 2 years and people were really down on them, but Toyota fixed the issues and rolled out those fixes to future years and now both of those vehicles are regarded as both ultra reliable and capable. I'm sure Toyota will apply the new formula to the new drivetrain as well.
That's a good point. The 2nd gen Tundra had a ton of serious problems when it came out too. This engine has been in the Lexus LS since 2017, albeit with a slightly different tune, so it has seen some miles.
Great review and thank you! I have a 23' Limited Hybrid with the TRD factory lift on 35's and you are 100% about the mileage, but I didn't buy the hybrid for economy. My only complaint is the squeaking in the rear brakes when reversing and the cracked driver seat side trim that was designed poorly. Otherwise being my fifth Tundra with 32k on it this year I love it.
12,000 miles on my 2022 Limited TRD and lovin it! Thanks for the review!
Great review. I was wondering how they were. I have a voodoo blue 19 tundra trd pro and love it with the exception of the gas mileage and small screen w/o apple car play. I like the basicness of the prior tundras to be honest… actually wish the pro came with a full plastic floor like the FJ cruiser did. I’ve done light off-roading in mine, basically sand dunes in south padre island in Texas and some mud and hills in Arkansas and even snow a few times… the stock tires were terrible but replaced them with some BFG’s and it’s made a world of a difference. Never gotten stuck in sand or mud so haven’t needed a locker yet but I’m envious of the new tundras locker. Might upgrade one day but thanks again for providing your input on the new one.
I’ve had my ‘23 since EOM JAN; about 3,500 on it. Basically stock w/TRD add-on pkg. No probs and plenty of juice. Avg 19.2 mpg in PHX AZ area. I’m quite happy and paid for all extended warranty available (tires, engine to 10yrs). Love it (wasn’t sure I would!)
FWD or 4WD?
@@mrwigglebutz5061 mine is 4wd capable. 👍
What an awesome job reviewing this truck. Good job man!
I always look forward to seeing your latest video. I have been amazed at the quality and content of each your videos…truly special.
I have a 2022 1794 with the TRD package, and although I haven’t done any mods, your build and experiences to date is truly tempting me.
Really love the truck and the only other truck I seriously considered was the F-150 Tremor. Im partial to Toyota based on their reliability so that’s what made me go with the Tundra.
I have not experienced any of the heating or cooling issues you spoke of in this video, but your experiences seems like there is a defect. Hopefully Toyota can make that right for you. Thank you for all of your awesome work!
how many miles on your tundra now? any problems?
28,000 and no real problems
great review. completely agree. I have a tundra TRD limited package in the driveway now. Waiting on the CBI, Icon, Warn, and Rigid update. Than the Topo topper. haven't decided if/when I update the wheel/tire stock package. But the new fridge, bedrug, and anker battery will be so nice. I know this sounds crazy, but don't think I'll go more than maybe 34 inch tires. I love the 18mpg average of the hybrid engine with stock 33 inch tires (5.5K miles so far). I doubt people ever really need 35s. Especially when so much of our drives could be done in a stock truck. We just like to drive much faster than stock.
I watched the whole video. You killed it! Very well done video! The double cab joke was top tier 🔥😂
Got a TRD PRO orange love it but had its flaws including alignment. Put 35 12&1/2 KO2'S Today after 3300 and it looks AWSOME. DO LOVE the truck had a 2019 TRD PRO voodoo blue before.
you hit all the reassurance notes I needed to go for the limited trim.
I just bought a 2022 Tacoma, but I appreciate your review of the Tundra as I've been studying it a bit.
Great review with honest information, on the Tundra and other trucks. Love the 19 miles to empty shot at the opening. I have some of the same issues with my 2022 TRD OR Limited that I've had for a year with only half the miles you do. I would also still buy the same truck today for the same price. I had a 2006 Tundra that I bought new and kept it 16 years until I got this one and this was such a leap forward that I'm still figuring some of the things that it can do. The multimedia center is definitely wonky. If they had created something that had a similar layout to Android Auto or Apple Car Play, I think it would have been better. I have a love/hate relationship with the adaptive cruise control, especially when someone uses a turnout lane in front of me. Because the lane paint disappears for the turnout, the cruise control hits the brakes as if I'm going to run into a car that is now in a different lane. One other issue is the pre-collision sensor and the radar for the cruise control. If its below 30 degrees, they both wont work until I drive for about 20 minutes. That's even if I clean the frost off the camera and the sensors. Thanks again for a great review.
Currently have a 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Love my truck and the V8. Will eventually own one of these new Tundra Pros. But I have absolutely no problems with my current Tundra, so until I do then I see no reason getting rid of it.
How much did you pay for it? I’m trying to get one but can’t find one with under 50k miles for less than 50k!!!
@@brandonturner9733 bought mine brand new. The dealership will give me almost what I paid for it in 2019 wihich was 50k out the door.
@@andrewschutte yeah it’s ridiculous
this is the best review yet!! ive been watching all your videos and it helped me pick out my 2022 tundra sr5 with the advance trd offroad package. i had a 2019 tacoma and the new tundra is way better.
I love your transparency and honesty!
Great video!
Thanks for that review. I really like the color of that stock limited. It looks lighter than the metallic gray color, but perhaps it's just the surroundings your in. I take it that gray limited became that blue tundra. WOW.
Thanks for honest review! I hope Toyota fixes the hot/cold ONLY cab temp issue. I guessing when Toyota refreshes the Tundra, many issues will be addressed.
totally agree on the TRDPro - being basically pointless if you modify it at all.,,. that was the reason I sold mine and bought well a 200 series.. The Limited Tundra looks like a good buy for my next one - I am wondering if the turbos will get dusted though.. and how air box water intrusion is handled with the after market bumpers. and how the injection system will list being DI and port injected.
Nice review
, brutally honest, did not sugar coated the way it should be.
I've been really impressed with how your Tundra has come along with all the mods. Especially the color and the wheels. I have a Tacoma and while I wish I had your payload numbers I don't envy the trade off in size. The Tacoma has a bit of an advantage in that all the nanny electronics stay off if turned off(sometimes it's better to be a dinosaur). The auto bright feature on the Tacoma gets it right 9 out of 10 times so I use often. Toyota has been a big disappointment to me in one area in particular, which is their marketing. They make it impossible to get the exact truck you want because of the way they package features together. Avoiding a sunroof wound up costing me the camera system for instance, a critical feature I would have happily paid for by itself. Also, I felt the OEM LED lights were so much better I had to add them after purchase. Expensive but so worth it. Your experience with real world mpg numbers has actually cheered me up a bit since I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up with better mpg with a slide in camper(33 inch tires), something I wouldn't have expected. I seriously considered the Tundra but the escalating costs and the physical size put me off. It would be my first choice for towing however. I hope to run into you out there on the trails some day to thank you in person. Your channel was an early inspiration to me in this hobby and I've been along for the ride ever since then. Cheers.
There are definitely trade offs! The Tacoma is a lot more agile for the tighter trails. I wish you could order exactly what you want too.
Great honest review of your truck! A lot of things I did not know about the new Tundra
Thanks!
I took delivery of my 22' Tremor in November. Very happy with it and it was very nice to order exactly as I wanted. Considered the Tundra and really like the truck but the first year was kind of a deal-breaker. As much as I trust Toyota, no company can get a totally new design right the first year and if I'm spending $65-70K it needs to be complete and not require me to spend a bunch of money because I'm not happy with something that should be effective or right from the beginning. Very good points made (good/and bad) and I appreciated your honesty with the Tundra so far.
I think the Tremor is a great truck. Its closest Tundra competitor is the TRD Pro, except you can get a Tremor for $15k less.
@@RevereOverland Yes, even though I had to wait over 9 months for the Tremor I was able to get mine on a XPlan (friends/family discount) with the 402A package for under $66K. The only options it didn't have were the unleashed Sound System and the pano roof. When I took delivery it had a retail of $72K and the dealer said there would've been a market adjustment of $10K last November. So, as hard as it was waiting that length of time, it worked out for the best.
Dude....the couch guy is SPOT ON😂
Good honest review. Best one yet. And you definitely have the miles to do so. I’m definitely looking at the tires when I see a truck. Lol.
Great review. Overall sounds like a good truck. I'm just more of analog guy. So I'm gonna keep my good old Tundra until wheels fall off.
Great review! I have a 22 Tundra Limited also. I agree with you on all that stuff!! The goods and bads.
Nice! I own the 22 LImited and love it. Not into offroad. Trailering cargo from Ohio to South Florida repeatedly as we prepare to move into a new home there. Fantastic performance on the road with the exception of the loss of mileage with a full loaded trailer...but still 10mpg generally. As much as 18.5 @ 75MPH empty. The only single problem I have had is with the digital compass indicator in the dash system. It often locks to a direction and won't change while driving. Have to get with my dealer service to see if that can be corrected.
My only real niggle with the truck overall is the interior lights...worthless! I'm waiting for some company to offer a replacement because you can't even read with those lights on. Everything else is just great...though I DID have pay over MSRP in Ohio as it was almost impossible to find a dealer last year that had any Limiteds coming in.
Haha I love the comment at the very end! Great video. Open and honest. Thanks for the great information.
Out of curiosity, how often would you say its size is an issue when you’re off-roading? I know it would be if you have to do some serious rock crawling or on tighter trails, but does that happen to you much, or do you avoid trails like that simply for that reason? Also, how would you leave it out west?
My 2022 tundra limited is at the shop now, been there for the past 2 weeks, getting track assy system for the panoramic runroof due to water leakage inside. Fuel gage reset to full still an issue. Very frustrating.. but it does drive super smooth and enough power with twin turbos.
Well done. A fair, unbiased revue.
I would agree.
Good info. In 60K miles did you have to add any oil between oil changes? Thank you.
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much for your honesty!!!🙂👍👍👍👍👍
Such a great review. I hope you could do one for the new Tacomas and possibly Stouts (if they exist)
I had the same experience with my drink going to work. Lost it in a corner 😂 was less than thrilled to experience that.
This video has the smoothest sponsorship intro I’ve seen, props 😂
My 2007 tundra went 100,000 kms on the original brake rotors. Amazing , and I tow and carry weight daily.
Same on my '12. And I own a '22 now.
Definitely seems materials being used on newer vehicles are of less durable qualities.
Perhaps to save weight, money, or both? I don't know, but I don't like it, and not what I've come to expect from Toyota after 25+ years of buying them.
I have a 2023 and Love it (so far)
Such a good video. Great honest review. Thanks!
I just worry about the new drivetrain. People buy Toyota’s for 200k plus mile reliability. The turbos and 10speed I’m waiting to see how it it sorts out. People forget the 07 08 and 09 had some issues. Takes a few years for issues to show up and get fixed. Turbos are awesome. What they do to torque is amazing. Wife’s turbo car is fun to drive.
Love my 22 sr5 crew max 2wd that I wish I went ahead and got a TRD pro or limited. Over a year now 18k miles. No big problems. Just need better wheels and tires for the ice and snow.
2023 tundra TRD Pro love the new hybrid,
My 2007 Tundra crewcab has 285K miles
No issues, never been in the shop for repairs ... Toyota for Life!!!!
Great detailed review- thank you!
You went up the back route of 3 forks hotsprings. Kudos !!!
That’s the only time I’ve missed the 4Runner! It was tight in the Tundra!
I just joined you Tundra owners three weeks ago...bought a 2019 Double Cab, 5.7L V8, RWD, in Barcelona Red Pearl with just under 62K miles. I figure with that one Tundra driver going over 1M miles, I can still get some use outta this thang! Actually, if all goes as planned, it will be the last car I buy for myself to drive. The rest of the family already have their Toyotas. One of the best things is the simplicity of A/C controls, instead of the newer computer-operated "buttons." If I'm hot, I just turn that big dial on the fan speed and instantly air is blowing in my face! No waiting those few extra seconds we got with the 2021 Venza that we traded in for this. My wife likes our 2017 Sienna more, anyway!
Interesting to hear that your blind spot sensors aren’t working, my 2020 TRD off road Tacoma has also lost this function, I have about 55k on it and it probably quit around 48k I think. This I believe is an issue toyota are aware of.
While I don’t really like the looks of the new tundra, you have modded yours perfectly. Best looking newer tundra I’ve seen actually. Anyway I enjoy your content so thank you for taking us along on an honest review.
Also I’m a transplant from the UK, Scotland to be exact . Been here in the pnw since 2008. Cheers
They’re pretty vulnerable that low down in the open bumper, so that might be causing issues. I’m guessing they’re in a similar spot on the Tacoma?
Time flies! I saw 40K miles and thought it’s been less than a year. My biggest complaint about the Tundra and the direction Toyota is headed are the turbo charged engines. When you start modifying and add more wind drag from roof mods and more friction from larger tires, it forces the turbo to always boost and MPGs take a sharp drop. I went on a trip with two Jeeps, one had the 3.6 V6 and the other was the 2.0 turbo. At Arizona 75 mph speed limit the V6 Jeep got 18.5 mpg while the turbo Jeep was at 11.5 mpg while drafting behind us. I truly believe the 5.7L V8 would get better MPGs if it had the same 10 speed automatic.
Just came off a '14 to a '23 cm tundra 4wd (and no consistent added weight other than a lumber rack): constant issues with premature warping of the rotors on the prior tundra, which was permanently solved by going to stoptech pads and rotors (with stock calipers and fluid). far more longevity and worth the added cost.
My 4Runner constantly warped rotors even before I added weight too. I think it’s a Toyota thing! I’m waiting on the cheaper Powerbrake kit to come out.
It's a great lookin' rig Rob...and you like it, so that's what is important.
Thanks! I do like it, but I'm happy to acknowledge the flaws if it helps someone else make the decision about buying one!
Best review of tundra I watched! Thanks
Great review! Amazing you have put 40k on it already. Be very interesting to see what the next few years bring in terms of reliability. Also, very curious if you miss the 4Runner at all? And if so, what do you miss or don't miss? Thanks for the great info! Best...
We'll have to see!
The 4Runner was a great vehicle, but the only time I've missed it was while trying to drive along a very narrow and steep trail in Oregon. Even then, the 4Runner didn't have the cameras, so the Tundra had the advantage there.
@@RevereOverland Thanks for the info. Sounds like you made a good choice. Amazing that you have done 40k in a year. I really hope you keep this truck long term. It will be interesting to see how it does with more miles. Thanks again, and enjoy!
I bought the 2023 tundra sr crew max…I put a jb4 tune on it and it’s nuts 0-60 was 4.95 with the tune 5.9 without it… The sr is rated lower on hp…I think it’s underrated myself.
love the " 'ol boy" cut scenes lolol.
Thanks for the great review! There are a bunch of tundra reviews out there but I very much appreciate seeing people with the same interests as me talking about how well those vehicles actually work for…overlanding/camping/exploring. For example, the camera discussion is extremely helpful
For 1/2 ton alternatives, how would you rank the ram 1500 rebel?
I considered the F150 Tremor and Ram 1500 Rebel. They’re both great alternatives. Unfortunately, both lack the aftermarket support of the Tundra, despite the Tundra only being out for a year. They’re worth a test drive though!
Mine has 82k almost 1794 8 months old. Don’t ask! But all I can say is that I love the truck! I have driven all of them ! A lot of the comments made no sense at all before I bought it. Like the cabin is cheap on high end models! I did not see a better screen or interior hands down! Performance is stellar! Has not skipped a beat. I have towed rv twice to the west coast and back to east coast! No better truck out there esspecially not the cord it looked cheap inside even at 90k!
Interested in a slightly used or new truck. Was set on the Sierra Duramax, but now concerned with reliability. Now I'm interested in the Tundra. I'm reading that the 2022+ have issues. So now I'm interested in the 2018-2021 tundras with V8.
Excellent review, thank you.
That shot at 13:25 is bad ass!
It needs gears and a tune. Should be interesting to see if the aftermarket puts forward some adequate solutions for gears and tuning.
Your towing mileage (travel trailer) is the same as my 2017 Limited double cab.
Brother, haters will hate... Don't justify.
Great job on the video,Rob
This and the small GM diesel are the two front runners for my new ride.
Never got more than 18mpg on the trip that usually gets great mpg. Did get 24 mpg on the same trip on 3.0 duramax at4.
What suspension mod do you think is causing the sway bar links to keep breaking? Hopefully the Bajakits fixes that issue.
I thought it was my extended link brackets, but I talked to someone after I filmed this who only had Westcott spacers that broke their link too.
That is one beautiful truck!
Thank you!
You nailed this review.
Thank you for posting this! Im going back and forth between a 2nd gen Tundra (DC6.5) and 2nd gen Tacoma (DCLB) with a family of three and PNW trails. My biggest concern is size of the Tundra for both our narrow trails and day to day parking and trips occasionally into the city (Seattle). The Taco is the opposite being much smaller in all respects which is tougher for family life, but easier to drive offroad and park. I WFH so MPG isnt a big deal. Did you ever consider a Tacoma?
No. The Tacoma is underpowered, too small for my long trips, and somehow worse on gas!
@@RevereOverland That's the interesting part as well. I am in a 4runner now, and never even considered a full size until I saw your channel. When looking at the 2nd gen tundras in the year I am looking at (around 2010), they are cheaper and look to have better interiors than comparable years tacos as well. I'm going to take a hard look at them. Much appreciated!
