The 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Double Cab Is A Capable Old Truck Built To Last Decades

- While #Toyota is about to reveal the all-new 2022 #ToyotaTundra later this month, the 2021 #TundraTRDPro is still available now and because the truck has been out since 2008, you get a sense that it is built to last a long time and as long as you’re okay with not having the newest tech features, it could be worth a look if you’re in the market for a full-size truck that is considerably less expensive versus newer rivals.

Happy Monday guys! Hope everyone is having an awesome Labor Day weekend. The timing of this truck worked perfectly as were flying out to a Plano, Texas today to see the all-new 2022 Tundra this week. What do you hope to see Toyota address on the new version and would you guys wait for the next generation or just buy this proven 2021 model?
Well we saw the interior pics anyway so it won’t make a difference
You rock.
Are you going to take a video or pics of the new Tundra?
@@karimthornhill528 Absolutely, but there is an embargo until 9/19.
@@karimthornhill528 the interior was already leaked. We know what it looks like
My brother has a 2010 Tundra with 200,000miles and it runs like it's brand new. Worst thing about it by far is the fuel economy.
that's its feature though, you will never find a fuel efficient pickup of that caliber. Power = fuel. so in other words, nothing bad about the Tundra :) I think its an oxymoron to have a fuel efficient pickup. They're meant for heavy-duty work and hauling trailers.
@@PWCDN It's a great truck and it tows anything we have asked it to. If gas prices go back down then we wouldn't complain about the fuel economy but at these prices it adds up. I'm looking forward to EV trucks that can tow like a diesel and charge it at home. My brother's house is full solar and not on the grid so charging an EV truck wouldn't cost a dime.
@@AlexLifeman That only helps if you sell but why would you sell a good truck. My brother's next truck will be an EV but that's not any time soon.
@@PWCDN they should make it diesel then
Enter the Ford Maverick for truck folks who don't actually need a truck
Not gonna lie, The intro got me, I laughed louder than I needed to.
This is 2 years old and it's still my dream truck. That 5.7L was bullet proof. Payload wasn't the best in class but it was the BEST truck overall.
100% agree
I bought a 2021 Tundra at the beginning of June because it is my dream vehicle. There is nothing that I do for which I need a truck. I simply like the size and ride of the Tundra. I love driving around town aimlessly on warm summer evenings with the windows down.
@@Planner38lol im gonna get. 21’ lunar rock trd pro for this exact reason 😂💪🏻
I bought a 2021 tundra platinum and love it! 🔥
OLD but people will miss this reliable V8. These V8s will be up in value one day
👀
They already are. I live in texas and used tundras MY2021 and below are expensive.
I just bought a used one. I needed a reliable truck to haul. That platform is indestructible.
It's a beautiful day when sofyan swears😂
Do you actually pay attention to the car review? You seem a bit distracted for curious reasons.
@@RLTtizME what?
@@GuiltyNoticer 💋❤️
Why purposely do it though to only have to edit it out?
I bought this exact truck almost a year ago. 20k on her, cracked windshield, dirt everywhere, and we're both really happy on rough dirt roads. My dream truck and I hope I have it for ten more years!
My family has a 2014 Toyota Tundra limited with only 58,000 miles on it! Bought it brand new in June of 2014 and it still looks like a brand new truck cosmetically! Especially since it only has 58,000 miles on it. Basically it’s been my moms daily driver for the past 8 years to and from work and we live in a small town so that’s the reason of the low mileage. It’s been on a couple road trips but we usually take our Yukon Denali on the road trips. It still has decades of life left in it and it’s been a great truck! We have no desire to upgrade to a 2022. This generation tundra has been great. One unique and dumb idea would be if you had all the money in the world, you could buy the new generation tundra and engine swap the 5.7 V8 from the current generation tundra into the new one (if that’s even possible) that sounds like something I’d do if I had money to blow.
The smaller turbo engine used by other manufacturers actually has worst mpg because the turbo engine is working harder and forced to work almost all the time. Reliability and durability is compromised in those turbo, direct injection engines. Making customers believe that using a small engine in a big heavy truck will result less mpg in not true and purely a marketing tactics. They dont make them like they used to. Tundra was born in a time when vehicles are over built and made to last for a long time. You cant say that to the vehicles built nowadays in this disposable age.
I had a 2011 for 9 years and 70k miles and it was rock solid with no issues. It is what it is.... rock solid
This truck is awesome and is going to be in demand for years.
I had 2 Tundras, a 2007 and a 2015. Loved them both. My buddy bought my 2007, still has it. Still looks great and runs great, too.
Honestly even tho this truck is older now it still looks nice I can’t wait for the redesign too it just got leaked
Still looks awesome in that TRD PRO trim.
Gotta say this truck is tough. My friends father had one and put 230,000 km on it still ran okay at the end of it's life. Mind you it did pull about 14,000 lbs every other day of it's life.
Speaking as a senior citizen who owns a 2020 Trundra "Old is Not always bad"!
Tried and true. I'd take this over any domestic all day long.
if I’m buying used, then probably yes, but if we’re talking about new then the new F150 and Ram are just so nice and look better and also are more efficent
@@kristians2704 you miss the point. Those new Rams and Ford's would be lucky to get to 300k. That's brake in for the Tundra.
@@XtruecanadianX who keeps their new vehicles that long?
Proud owner 2007 with 187.578 still got a lot pick up and go everything still in working conditions if anyone’s looking for used truck look no further check it out consumer report
@@XtruecanadianX Ram's 5.7 Hemi, Ford's 5.0L Coyote, and GM's 6.0L small block would all last just as long as this iForce 5.7L... Now the rest of those trucks might be pretty clapped out and on their 2nd or 3rd transmission rebuilds lol, but those V8's are more powerful and just as reliable as this Toyota's V8 and get a handful of better MPG's.
Thank you for this one. You know what your audience likes.
I have a the crewmax version of this truck and yeah the mpg is terrible but I don't mind it at all. I did figure out while driving about 1600 miles on i95 that it has a sweet spot for highway driving between 60-70mph it will average around 18 mpg but as soon as you get above 70-75mph it drops significantly to around 14mpg. I bought it for the long term reliability and capabilities not the fuel economy or gimmicks. I'll drive my Corolla to save money at the pump anyway.
After seeing the pictures going around of the new one I’m really going to miss this truck. RIP to the second gen Tundra
after hearing about no V8 in the new one, im really going to miss this truck. RIP to the 2nd gen tundra
Thts boutta have the v8 base model watch
@@andersonrodriguez8258 Boutta... F off.
New one is ugly
@@mybabysign09 i like it a little
Toyota could make this truck the same for the next 100 years and i couldn't care less. Just make it get better MPG's and im good. AN TRUCK!
Couldn't have said it better myself
It’s not for everyone but it’s my 3rd Tundra
(2005 Silver Crewcab 4x4, 2010 Crewmax Rock Warrior, and 2021 Grey Metallic TRD Sport 4x4).
Redline
Thanks for a candid thorough review of this TRD-Tundra. Yes it's a gas guzzler and a dying breed but, simple, solid, dependable transportation for the road. “She’s a beauty” 😎
My only complaint with this generation is the gas mileage. The EPA MPG numbers are right on. Both my 2019 Platinum and now my 2021 Platinum have averaged those numbers. That being said after I added the TRD Pro exhaust to my ‘21 I can’t imagine owning anything else. You just can’t beat the glorious sound of a V8 with a tuned exhaust. So there is that. Then there is the “massive” grill on the next gen that I have not warmed up to as of yet. The 2021’s grill is perfect imo. Great review Sofyan. All you said is true.
Yeah my father actually drives a '19 Tundra 1794 and my mother drives an old '06 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi with like 250k miles that she wont get rid of because it was the first car she ever bought brand new lol, and my dad has said more than once how he can't believe her old Dodge manages to get better gas mileage than his truck lol. Love the Tundra's V8 though, sounds better than the Hemi.
Nice new rig man, Keep up the good work 💪.
Might be old but still reliable. A buddy of mine recently traded in his Silverado for a 2017 model Tundra and he absolutely loves it. He said it kills his old Silverado.
No lie best intro ever lol…we love to see it
I am glad I have mine... 2008 Crew Max Limited. 172K miles on it. Runs like a champ. Come on Sofyan, let's be honest: 85% of trucks are used by Contractors. Hell, we beat them up; toss crap in it to go to the dump. We go to Home Depot. We get dents all over it. You know how many times I need to repair my tires from screws and nails it them??!! The interior gets dusty and dirty. At the end of the day, as long as the power windows work, the air conditioning blows cold and it starts every time we turn the key. You equate a truck like its a garage queen. I got it. You're lucky you get to always test the best of the best in each model you test. Must be nice. Most of us Contractors are lucky to get mid-grade trim truck. I'd rather get a truck that works for me. Not me working for my truck.
A great truck. Thank you for your professionalism.
Waiting for 2022 tundra💖💖
I can wait. The current Tundra are better looking
We all are going to miss the 5.7 V8 (even the ''poor fuel'' economy complainers) MARK my words!
@T-boe the first Somebody said it best on a comment I read the other day ''if you want a V8 but complain about fuel economy, you shouldn't even be driving'' 🤣
you were and are right!
Great review, thanks!
I love my first gen Tundra....can’t wait for the new one..( will there be an 8 ft bed option?)....
I just bought the 1794 edition with upgraded wheel package, I freaking love it just the way it is. A little tradition is good...in my opinion. Not too worried about the bed size, that's what trailers are for. This a great review and gives a good overview of the upgrades. Overall, I'm glad I'm not waiting for the 2022...who knows how long it will take with chip shortages.
How much you paid out the door ? They offered me 1k off mrsp today “pademic” market . I think imma hop on it. I live this truck !!
@@Eyehearttravels I got 800 of MSRP with rain vents and cab cover added on. Mine also has the running boards...the first 1794 I looked at didn't.
@@ashleyhelms878 how much did u pay for it?
@@UAkovalchuk @59K
Finally Sofyan! More Toyota's please!
Love this channel , I got the wifey hooked on it too
OG Tundra
Your intro is absolutely killer!
Always loved tundra but geez 10 mpg 😱🙀
Its not that bad, my dads got a 2021 4wd crew max and he can average 15 per tank with mixed driving and abit of towing. If you cruise on the hwy you can easily get 17mpg or slightly better. Just depends how you drive.
Valuable, unbiased, super informative, useful review…as always.
the mpg is quite poor at today, but it’s still a good looking pickup.
Wait and see if they have new update
Redline is the best automotive reviewer in my opinion.
I like the Tundra and the iForce 5.7 but I wouldn't consider it a big block.
5.7?? Are u joking? Even AMG v8 has 4.0 and thats no big block but a 5.7 i think it is
0:01 wasn’t expecting that. So casual 😂
Love that color.
Better looking than the new generation Tundra & better engine
I’ve got a 21 Tundra Trail edition. It’s a v8 beast!
Dbl cab, leather, trd pro, 4wd... Finding one of these in the wild is rarer than unicorn sh*t...ijs
Yeah most double cab Tundras are SR or SR5 trim with not very many options. I’ve only seen a few limited trim double cabs and TRD Pro double cabs are very rare as well.
This Tundra is so beautiful. I wish i had millions of dollars
2021 Toyota Tundra
King of The Old School
Agreed. I just wish it had the 7inch gauge cluster from other Toyota’s, a 10 inch head up display. Those would make the tundra perfect
Thumbs up for the music choice!
All the signs are saying most likely the new tundra won't have the v8. anybody wanting the v8 this might be your last chance. Also Sofyan great intro btw 10/10
Very Nice!
Holy Grail….. is what this truck is going to be in the future, so crazy… the further “we” get from these truck’s the more they will be desired.
I say that Toyota keep the V8 and add a 10 speed trans to get better MPG. I believe there would be more maintenance costs, in the long run, with twin turbos.
I agree it would probably rival the domestics V8’s
Toyota knows how to make a turbo motor. Hopefully they execute properly.
So september 19th right? So will be 2022 tundra will be more expansive?
Nice truck,, seen these when I was on Holiday in Florida a few years back.
They have never been sold here in the UK as a new vehicle from a Toyota dealer. Toyota Hi Lux is all we get ,and all Diesels too.
7:05 don't expect a huge upgrade.. the infotainment system was just updated to the latest version for 2020
10:40, the Nissan Titan comes standard with a 5.6L V8
It's funny that he keeps talking about it being an old design like it's a bad thing 😂
How’s that new turbo treating everyone at the pump? lol. The 5.7L was amazing and now you don’t get the reliability OR fuel efficiency with the turbo.
Lets hope will ready for a all new 4th generation tundra
It's a beautiful truck but the fact that gas isn't going down ever again is a huge factor why I won't be getting another Tundra.
Holy crap, 10mpg? I'd have to go all the way back to my first car in high school to match those abysmal mpg numbers. It was a '68 Ford Galaxie 500 2 door with a 390 V8.
I think the Nissan Titan only has one engine option too since they did away with the Diesel.
yep they only offer the 5.6L V8
Have a Tacoma not sure if I should upgrade to the Tundra before the new one drops.
I 100 percent agree, imho, this coming model(s) for both the tacoma and tundra could potentially affect the prices of all previous year models, which is why I’m personally gonna wait till the release of the 22’s.
Do it man.
And people wanted to pick on the Frontier and how old it was lol
it was older.... Frontier came out in 05 so 2 year difference. and atleast Tundra got updated tech such as led headlights and safetey features and a touchscreen
I bought 2021 tundra trd pro in black. Beautiful truck. Great performance. I bought it for its reliability. I don't care about bells and whistles. I could sell it right now and make at least ten grand on it. Can't do that with any other truck right now. I definitely don't like the new version coming out. Happy I got the 2021 for multiple reasons.
No gas guzzler tax?? Sheesh 12mpg-17mpg
Nope, bc it’s a truck. Trucks are exempt from a gas guzzler tax.
He’s one of the “cool” kids who focuses on the new, tech-laden features of vehicles. Of course he groans on and on about how old it is.
I mean, you're basically paying more than the original asking price for a vehicle that's over 10 years old.
@@dave_riots I believe this truck will hold its value or even go up some considering the new one has the V6 and its butt ugly. These trucks are just so solid.
I would get this and throw a magnesun super charger.
I can’t wait to see the new Tacoma’s
There are very strong rumors that the top engine may be a diesel hybrid for the 2022 Tundra. Toyota USA posted a video to their CZcams page about how diesel works.
It’s probably going to be overcomplex
@@naveenthemachine it might be but it’ll last forever.
@@johnjames7712 sure hope so. The hybrid battery cost will be pricey when it comes time to replace it 😬
I'm going to wait for the new gen Tundra.
The old 5.7 v8 is my choice over any new one
Intro caught me off guard ☠
I own a 2018 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Limited and I love it! Yes I would buy it over the competition simply because it's a Toyota!
The other trucks in this class aren't really much better anyway, the ram has a more refined ride that's the only thing I give her credit for, my friend had a 2015 and something happened with the fuel system but something EVAP/Fuel tank related and he ended up trading it in for 2020 because the repair was crazy expensive
How long do you keep your cars and for how many miles?
@@JDMHaze but are they going to be reliable as the tundra ? No
@@andersonrodriguez8258 if course not
Can you review the new 2021 Ford Bronco
Nissan Titan has standard V8 also
He gets inside
"As you can see nothing has changed..."
CarPlay...?
This newer body style Tundra is a real disappointment. The current Tundras are beautiful. I really don't care that it's the same chassis since 2007. It's Toyota. They clearly did it right that they didn't need to update it much.
The Twin Turbo V6 engine will be the demise of the Tundra.
Toyota has 40 billon in reserves and and knows a little bit more than you
I thought the pro version only came out in a crew max 😮
The Last of The Mohicans.
So does the trd pro come with 12 speakers?
Better than that new twin turbo v6
Basically, wait for 2022. For the basically the same price, the 2022 will offer modern luxury and tech.
Do you have insight to the pricing?
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 it is expected to start at $35,000 which is only a couple of more grand than the current one. So yes, wait for 2022.
I really want Toyota to make a new vehicle that would look like a Durango with this grill on the front that shit would be nice
A dragon swallows gasoline
I wish I could afford one. I'd love one of these with that dual exhaust. I need a truck because I live on a rough dirt road, and I'd like to see a truck I can keep for 20 years or more, and I'd like something with that exhaust setup. The rumble of that V8 is hypnotizing; it's like the 5.0 Coyote on the F-150.
But I'll settle for my 2005 Tundra. I'll be able to keep that for at least ten years :) Gotta live with whatcha got when you're just a man working at a homeless shelter.
I found a used one for only 66k 🤣🤣🤣💯🤦🏻♂️
9:10 I don’t understand why Toyota doesn’t include a back seat pocket on the driver seat, but the passenger seat does. That makes zero sense to me
Probably saves them half a cent per truck.
when is the electric Tacoma cooing out?
This month
Good track don't need all that fancy stuff.
0:48 You plan on doing some Trike reviews? 🤔
I have yet to see a next gen truck that doesn't look ugly as fuck imo and so far the next tundra doesn't seem to be exempt from that statement
I get 17 mpgs per tank in mine. I do a lot of highway driving, but 14 mpgs is really bad. You have to have a heavy foot to do that badly.
True, if I drive mine like an old lady I get almost 18. Normally 15.5 to 16.
Everyone complains about the MPG but on my 2020 (21k miles) I consistently get 17-18. Recently took my daughter to the zoo 250 mile trip. Drove conservatively 65-70 mph most the time. 85 degrees running ac. Achieved 20.5 mpg. My point is the 5.7 tundra gets around 1-2 mpg less than the competitions V-8’s. So it’s really not that bad imo. Guys getting 10 mpg?? I don’t get that pulling my boat?
I’m on my second tundra with the 5.7 and get way better than people report. Maybe some are leaving it running while parked with the ac on to set up video equipment, followed by multiple 0-60 runs.
17-18 mpg? 😂 “why you always lying!”
@@czar2321 I’m not. Why you can’t write correctly?
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 I’ve found out a lot of guys that complain about mileage often put on big heavy oversized tires and/or drive hard. Yea that of course hurts mileage. If I drive and accelerate hard in the extreme cold winter I will get 13-14. But that’s still far from 10 mpg? But I’m driving a double cab SR5 4x4 with stock tires which is quite different from the truck reviewed.
@@kross1261 true but I traded up from a Crewmax sr5 basic truck to TRD pro and didn’t notice a difference in mpg.
You also get the 5.7L V8 in the new Toyota Sequoia.
The 4.6 V8 had better real world mileage. though the epa only said 1mpg more.
It was just a shorter stroke version of the 5.7.
I get 17.5 to 18 in town and 21.5 on the highway.
2wd double cab.
I think it was dropped for 2020.
It was a nice option. I only tow a 3000# boat so plenty of power. 310hp.
440 miles on a 38 gallon tank is brutal. think a F-150 or others could maybe do 750+ miles on a similar tank size. that fuel economy was normal 10-15 years ago but isn't anymore.
Not even 10-15 years ago. I had an '04 Dodge Ram Hemi until a couple years ago that got terrible mileage too but still managed 18-19 on the highway consistently... I couldn't handle 10/14 MPG that would be a total dealbreaker.
Just sold my 2019 Tundra TRD PRO for what I paid for it brand new 2.5 years ago. Folks, sell your tundras now while they can still be sold for a great price.
I am
