In case anyone is curious, that's 11 mpg.
O O F
And I love it.
How much km/l tho
My 2008 Tundra crewmax gets 13-15 L/100km @ 120km/hr. At 100km/h the read out bounces around at 11 L/100km. It's thirsty for sure, but I know it will always have my back and sound GREAT!!!
Must be the same engine in the thirsty Sequoia.
Don’t ever change Thomas. That intro was perfect
As someone who knows three people that have had their "push to start" cars stolen I am SO happy to see a key for ignition. Even if it is "old"
I mean, before push to start people were still stealing cars...
Tundra hand down is the best truck ever
I have a ‘21 Platinum, my favorite features are the rear window that rolls down and the sound of that 5.7! I’ll take reliability over a few extra MPG’s any day.
Same! I agree! I bought a 21 Platinum as well! Best investment! Run it until the wheels fall off, hopefully a million miles.
I love my dad's tundra. Insanely reliable, super great 4wd for snow and mud, lots of leg room, can tow well enough and honestly the power is decent and with an air intake it sounds really pleasing！
Ikr, I installed trd pro cold air intake and trd exhaust and it just sounds so sexy, it has that perfect whistle and air intake sound, so I’m glad someone else enjoys that sound off and it really gives you that torque for sure
@@bearpaw7603 such a great truck and you know it won't have any problems like a Chevy or a Ford or Dodge
Love how Throttle house has the funny intro and extra Throttle house has the funny quick endings. You guys are killing it
Long live a real key....
I love how the “save the manuals” crowd gets so offended at the thought of turning a key to start a vehicle. Myself included.
ngl i'd rather have a keyed ignition, so when my spinning doritos inevitably do something stupid i can burn up the starter for the sake of getting out of the middle of the road
I think they should test the latest Tacoma. Mostly due to the fact comes in manual.
@@sofielee4122 I have a Mazda 3 with push button start, and guess what happens when the battery in that keyfob gets low? :(
These two are irrelevant
Cars haven't been the same since they got rid of a manual choke.
I’d like to see the Ram and the Titan.
Yeah like a fully optioned longhorn 2500
I'm no American but is it just me or Titan seems criminally underrated? At least this Tundra got quite fanfare around it but not Nissan trucks ...
@@obidean3964 especially the updated 2020+ models!
@@obidean3964 honestly no. If you are familiar with the big three pick up brands and what they offer. Neither Nissan nor Toyota compete.
The titan is a heaping pile of hot shit
Put the Trd cold air intake and the trd cat back exhaust and it opens that v8 up beautifully! Run 91 ethanol free fuel and voila!! I love mine.
The Nissan Titan doesn't get as much attention as the other trucks, seeing you guys review it would be really interesting. I hardly know anything about it.
It’s very old. It’s like 15 years old at this point.
The current Titan is since 2016, so 6 years.
@@angelgjr1999 so is the tundra. The Nissan doesn't get coverage because its a Nissan🗑
I completely agree with you Lucas Evans
@@cookmania3465 True. My dad has an 08 Tundra. It looks pretty much the same as a 2020.
Great content as always. You should ask Dodge for a three month long term test. Then Nissan for a six month long term test. Then Chevy for a nine month long term test. See where I'm going with this??? ;)
Never stop explaining this is the extra channel it’s my favorite part
Surprised to learn Thomas is the bougie water drinker type
There was no disclaimer, so I'll leave it for them lol. This video contains paid advertising.
Actually I drink the Latin American version of Bubbly (H2Oh in Orange and Lemon only) and it is quite neat (it's actually a lot cheaper than the version in The States or The Provinces).
If you drink it solely it's a thing... but if you use it to swap out soda it's for diet and health reasons. Lockdown saw a lot of us get a little too complacent, and lots of people are trying to get back to form now that they can go back out in the world.
They also advertise Apple in every video without the required disclaimer.
I mean he owns an Audi S4
Absolutely love my 2020 TRD sport, it was $53,000 Canadian as well, still cloth but has dual zone climate control, keyless entry and start as well as the Trd sway bars which help with towing a lot. It’s thirsty for sure and outdated but I like that it’s not on the leading edge of technology, I trust it to be dependable.
Just got a 2021 Limited, fully loaded for $56,000 USD. Absolutely love it! Something about having simple and smooth working electronics makes me like my tundra more. Who needs a tv as a center console🤷🏽♂️
@@ernyguerra1195 my thoughts exactly, it has an 8 inch screen with car play, what more does anyone actually need? Plus the radar cruise is awesome and standard on the tundra, every other truck it’s optional and typically a very expensive option at that. Now that I’ve had it I don’t think I could go back to driving a truck without it lol.
@@thatcanadiancarguy1499 late reply but yes! That radar cruise control is top notch for a half ton. Took it around a busy highway roundabout and it stayed locked the whole time. I can not complain!
I’m glad to see they’re considering all their options for trucks
Looks like the boys have been hitting the gym! 💪🏽💪🏽 very nice gentlemen.
in full size this would be my only choice. build quality and reliability
sacrifice mpg now and save very expensive repairs and maintenance
Good tradeoffs!
💯
What you save in gas you get back in resale valvue
Thanks for testing pickups, huge amount get sold every year, a relevant market.
Found this channel by mistake...and never missed an episode since...lots of love from South Africa...
Love the channel!!!!!
Fantastic! I am planning to buy a track as well. I will go with what you guys go
When the racing videos come, this channel is going to be the top 1
Take my advice as someone who has owned all late model trucks in 1500 and has to tow 9000lbs with them..
Nothing beats the tundra for usable power and stopping power.. nothing beats the durability of the drivetrain of the tundra.. it’s rides softer and because of that is why you get less payload and more sway when towing.. invest the $600 and put airbags in the rear end.. you’ll be able to haul another tundra in the bed while towing a 9000lb trailer and still retain the factory ride when daily driving..
I have 310k. Ike’s on my tundra and 165ish if that is towing 9k lbs to 12k lbs while also running another 1000lbs in the bed.. the brakes can take it the engine can pull it…
I’ve had to replace one rear wheel bearing, water pump only cause it was leaking and I had them replace it when doing the alternator just in case.. the rear bearing cause why replace just one.. and that is it… I still daily this truck everyday have not desire to get another vehicle and when my daughter starts driving in another year I’ll hand it down to her cause even after all the abuse it’s been through.. it’s still more reliable then my wife’s last two brand new vehicles.. I take that back.. third..
The only other vehicle I would consider for a 1500 truck that drives nice in the road and is capable towing would be a GMC… not Chevy.. checks are little stiffer sprung most of the time and ride worse unloaded.. but honestly they do bot stop or tow as good as the old tundras for regular less if what paper says..
Ford’s are just broken all around.. the eco boost wil overheat when towing heavy and they ride like shit cause they chase that king of the payload paper tiger number..
Rams Independent rears ride nice however they don’t hold up well over time.. bot major issues but maintenance is much higher and the wear and tear to the drivetrain is much more noticed as everything starts leaking front to back..
I’m sure the new tundra will be 400hp and 450tq super nice interior and exterior.. but even though the economist Ford makes more power and has higher towing in paper then the 5.0 the 5.0 tows way nicer… why? Cause it’s a v8 and no matter how you change it up…. Trucks that do real work need big motors.. those 10speed transmissions do nothing to make up for it either.. turbo charged v6 are for racing v8s are made for work..
Major downside to the tundras when you work them hard.. you have to replace rotors every time you do pads cause no one makes quality rotors for them.. they all warp however even towing you’ll get 50k plus out of the pads..
I love this truck. I have a ‘19 and they run beautifully
Love the truck content
I dont watch all your videos but i do watch some and before clicking I was going to skip intro. You got me good in that intro
Man these cliffhanger end in this new channel is something 😂😂
That cliffhanger at the end
Can't wait for a video on the 2022
I went from a 2017 F-150 Lariat to a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro double cab, and the overall experience is so much better in the TUndra. Yes it is old tech...but that's why I love it.
It's really nice to see non truck guys especially CANADIAN non truck guys review trucks, there'll be very little if any bias and finally you'd know what the best model is to buy without bitching about other trucks. Also if you want luxury, the ram 1500 is very lush but the Chevy GMC sisters are quite reliable with the 6.2 V8
Time stamp 3:05
I actually prefer a physical key to these push button starters because this way I can put the key into the on position without starting the car and it just gives me more control.
You can do that with keyless too. Just don't step on the brake when you press the start button.
@@kuanyang8236
I'll have to try that.
Thank you for the information.
Generally one press without brake will turn on some accessories, 2 presses without brake will turn on all the accessories.
Then of course button plus brake to start it
Thomas playing Arnold for a second, good easter egg. Like the channel.
Love the Tundra
I love that colour
Another great perk of leasing a new tundra is the free 2 year/25,000 Toyota care. Free oil changes and tire rotations. If you do the 3 year 36k mile lease you maintenance is covered for free for most of you lease. It also comes with the 3 year 36k miles bumper to bumper warranty meaning anything that might happen is covered under warranty for the whole lease. Plus high residential mean low payments.
I’d definitely recommend a Silverado 1500. The trailering system is next level on the new ones
Can't wait for the Ram review and to see which kne you guys pick. But I think if Ferrarri can get away with an old fashioned key then Toyota definitely can especially since it's less money
Go with the tundra!!!!!!
Hay guys this is JAMAICA again, and i've been watching yore shows for a while But i have never watch your other review SHOW, 'cause i feel like i actually like i really know you 2 😀....i feel like we are all friends just chatting about cars and trucks.....WOW....i love you guys....and yes its because u dont have a life🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣......but i seriously enjoy this "extra" keep it up .......o and i gave everyone of YOUR videos a thumbs-UP👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Toyota: if it ain't broke, it's us
I bought this exact 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 Trail Edition in Cement and LOVE IT! It's not the TRD PRO, but then it again only cost me $48K after taxes.
Gonna go down in History…
As Top 5 greatest Trucks ever made
If u haven’t yet try using the tow/haul option. Night and day personality for the truck
I really wanted to like this truck. I read all the reviews. I knew all about it’s horrible gas mileage but something about it’s old school toughness spoke to me. Then you test drive one. And feel all the hard surfaces in the interior. And feel how the shifter is all loose and hard plastic. And they want 50k for it. I’m so glad they are finally doing a new one. Buyers want toyota reliability but the interior needs to match the price tag.
I have a 2018 tundra limited. I added a leitner bed rack. Auxiliary lights, 3 - 2 lift kit, TRD wheels, preditor step rails, cargo boxes on bed rack. 33in ko2. The color is magnetic Grey. Every week I get compliments on my truck. I daily drive it. It has been the best vehicle I bought. Reliability, comfort and power is amazing. I hope you decide on getting this truck. You won't be disappointed. I would love to send pics of my truck to show you what I have done to it. Let me know .
I would like to see pictures of it. Sounds like a sweet setup.
Toyota Corolla is a good choice. When it comes to trucks: Ford & Ram all day - every day.
@@krasnaludek298 Ford is a good truck. Reliability is a issue though. If you don't mind going to the service department a lot. I bought an escape (2013). It had an Evo boost for gas mileage. After the 3rd motor was replaced at 34 thousand miles, suspension replaced, sunroof motor replaced, transmission plate fixed, missing bolts. I have service reports as thick as encyclopedia. Traded it in for a Toyota chr. No looking back. Toyota every day for me.
This is my exact truck… same package!
I’m all for throttle house reviewing more truxks
Negative. Stick to what you do best.
I just got myself a Silverado trail boss. Very happy with my choice. The ram has to soft suspension in the back for any actual work.
I currently own a 2021 Trail Boss, my previous 3 trucks were all Toyotas (2 Tundras and 1 Tacoma with over 100k miles).
Toyotas never once had to go to dealer for anything other than regular maintenance.
When my exwife totaled the Tacoma after it had 110k miles and was 7 years old I got a 16k check for it.
My Chevy has less than 10k miles and has already been to the dealer for warranty work.
Even with that said I love my Chevy so much more than any of the Toyotas. Just more character, more comfortable, and more features.
This gen Tundra is essentially the same truck as my '07 with a (very) few upgraded amenities. That said, the design is old as time, but it'll also be around long after the other trucks will have been living in the mechanic's garage more often than your own. It is a very thirsty engine, but on the flip side, it gets 11mpg whether it's towing a trailer or just itself. The tradeoff being simplicity is reliable, aka, if it ain't broke...
If you're at all into aftermarket support, the Tundra is like the Lego of trucks. Everybody makes upgrade parts for it!
I love this gen of Tundra. A friend of mine drives a 2008 Limited and holy crap it feels so fast for a big truck even if almost every single modern pickup is faster. It's such a cool piece of machinery
Also sidenote put Bilstein shocks and dampers on it the body control is much better with those
Can't wait for the new Tundra in a few months
2:03 lmao Arnold made an appearance, need more of that
For my preference, it's actually a huge downer for me when I find out a car has "Push to Start" I like the key 100000x better
That is one of the reasons I bought f150 XLT in 2019 .
Would like to see ya’ll try the Nissan Titan.
Thanks to Toyota for coming out with this Tundra which started everything when it came out with the 5.7 v8
The big 3 got afraid and started building better engines, only the Silverado SS and the Harley Davidson with the supercharger was faster but them 5.4/4.6 or GM 4.8/5.3/6.0 couldn’t touch the iforce 5.7 performance wise
If it’s possible, a comparison with a high trim f150 vs high trim ram rebel vs high trim Silverado 1500 would be solid! Also, good for your own purchasing purposes ;)
Would be a RAM commercial.
I'm picking the 2022 Tundra over all of them because I don't trust modern American vehicle reliability, or lack thereof.
The Ram is a drivable living room
every one of them has a decent chance of keeping you on a first name basis with the service counter at your local dealership.
@@DeathProof132 eh not really, i have owned 2 fords and a toyota, only ever went to the dealership for the oil changes
ram 1500 eco diesel is like, the best truck i’ve ever rode in, my dad has one and it’s great on gas and it rides smooth
I truly enjoy turn key more than a button.
I think the TRD OFF ROAD packaged is good in this truck
I have the same year,color, and package awesome truck she gets 13.3 mpg short highway mileage with me going 83 mph plus with 17k miles
#suggestion, when you test the ram, get the smaller 3.0 liter diesel. Great power train. Also ensure you get top line trim for the massive screen, gorgeous interior, and giant sun roof.
Cant wait until you try the gmc/silverado trucks
Just wait for the next gen coming out a little bit later
Would love to see the Silverado/Sierra.
Beast.
I'd love to see your reaction to the Ram Longhorn on here! It's a very unique truck
Definitely try the RAM, I use the 1500 to haul my race car too. Works well with the V8 Hemi, and is quite comfortable without the trailer. Also has massive room in the back seat for all kinds of race car kind of things....
More truck reviews please daddies
Do the F150 Powerboost (Hybrid) or the Lightning (EV) have the same suspension issues where they are too stiff for you guys? Also considering your youtube presence I would love to see if you guys could get a Rivian R1T when they start giving out press units and other EV trucks!
You guys should do a comparison video with all 6 trucks : Tundra, F-150, Chevy, GMC, Ram, Titan
I actually was in a rental Rava and it shocked me
Did James start working out? Looking good.
I highly recommend trying the Sierra 1500 diesel (if it's available up there) - SLT trim is very nice.
First of all I love yalls channel and all your reviews. I sell Toyotas in Texas and have personally owned 4 tundras. One of witch was a 2011 4.6L single cab with 314,000 miles. They have been amazing trucks that you can beat up and not feel guilty about. You buy a truck to put it to work right? Not baby it and look good at your local grocery store. My current truck is a 2012 2wd double cab with the 5.7. I have a gooseneck ball and air bags and can comfortably tow about 12k lbs. I tow cars for my dealership all the time with no problems. Also you can get the SR5 with the leather from the factory. It's just a separate package. The SR5 is the build it how you need it trim with a very long list of available options. Also you didn't mention the adjustable height head lights witch are ment to be pointed down if you are hauling something heavy and the truck squats and your front end lifts. 100% tundra all the way. Also resale value is unbeatable.
Ram with air suspension should be next. It's what I'm looking into for my towing
I just bought a 2021 f150 lariat and it’s the most comfortable truck I have ever drove I’m surprised that Thomas keeps saying it’s stiff!!!
I would like to see the Titan. I have a family member who has one and he likes it, and I like as well so it would be interesting to see what you guys think. I don't know much about the new Titan, but I have driven the 2016 Titan XD Platinum Reserve and really enjoyed it.
There is a solution to the seat material, Clazzio seat covers. I have a set of leather covers in my 2019 work truck and it’s great! And if I do mess them up I can just replace sections.
0:51 internal ND's? I'm interested in what cameras you guys are using!
Lol I found this video by searching for Throttle House Silverado. Yes do a Silverado review
GMC Sierra 3.0 Duramax, ... I would love to see your review on that. As for the other GM twin, the 6.2 & 10-speed obviously :)
i wanna see you guys drive the titan XD
Be cool to see the Ram with the Hemi. Is the Titan on your radar at all? I keep forgetting it exists.
Please review the 2022 Honda Insight Hybrid version because my sister wants to have that car when she grows up
I would love to see more Direct comparisons of cars that are in the same marketshare. Toyota Tundra vs Nissan Titan vs Ford F-150 vs Dodge Ram. Reliable vs Optimal.
If I could buy a 2021 Tundra SR5 Crewmax today, I would. There is a serious availability problem right now.
I bought a 2016 sr5 crewmax 4x4 a few weeks ago with almost 80k on it. The thing about Toyota is 80k is NOTHING. Love it so far.
Plus they got the trail edition. A rare beast indeed!
Just bought one last month in Oklahoma, but they only get about 1 a month to the dealer. Its a rare occasion and you have to buy sameday basically
I just nabbed a 2021 Crewmax Offroad. Had to shop around hard for it.
I bought a 2018 crew max tundra with 50 thousand on the oD for 39k$ here in Florida
Candice is proud
who ?

😳
@@unboar8832 whos gonna tell him
@@johneldepresso dear God spare his soul
Nissan Titan has been discontinued in Canada, so maybe try and get a used one to test? Or if you can find the left over 2021?
I love my Tundra. But am still looking forward to the new Hybrid Tundra.
I have a 2020 Tundra Trd pro and I have push to start and every other feature you can get on the Tundra it’s available on the truck they just want you to pay for it. And as far as the light steering feel if I’m not mistaken it has hydraulic steering I hear it every time I turn the car off makes this noise I actually like.
2021 does. Pump is at the front passenger side of the bay.
My man James looking buff af
Do ze ram next, ride is really good
Don’t worry , my 2018 highcountry has a key to start it too 🥺
The new Tundra looks awesome !! If it gets 30mpg or better I’ll be happy!!!!
Hahaha
That’s a great 2015 truck
Y’all need to test the Titan btw… I love mine and they don’t get any love anymore and honestly it makes me sad because if I had the money id buy one they are beautiful
