In this video I walk though my first impressions of ownership of my new 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Lots to love and plenty to dislike. This truck is a matter of preference… it’s not for everyone. If you have the opportunity to test drive a new TRD Pro, I highly recommend it. You’ll be blown away by the performance and really appreciate the creature comforts. It’s a high tech machine that delivers exceptional numbers. Excited to share this side by side with my inbound ice cap white 2023 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro.
The question is… are you okay with bidding farewell to the V8 of old?
Thanks for watching as always!
-Stay Untamed…

I need to know what it took to get 35"s on there?! I'm going to build the exact same truck. Funny, I already have a Tacoma built the same way but we've out grown it.
Love the truck, hate the price tag
Same
Go buy any truck loaded like this for less than $75k … I won’t hold my breath
@@shawnsponds ok Biden boy
Got a TRD 4x4 off-road for 55k pretty nice

The big tow mirrors are a HUGE PLUS for anyone who actuallly tows and for a truck that was built with a ton of focus on towing. Mike Sweers said while testing and creating this truck, different aspects of towing was very important and a huge focus on a great towing truck and they really did do a great job with it cause this truck is the best towing experience I’ve ever had. It’s so effortless, smooth, stable, and I don’t even notice I’m towing a big trailer or boat behind me so it’s great they added the option for these tow mirrors for the tow package. This truck looks so damn good!
Thats great. I am looking forward to hooking up and towing very VERY..soon!
Honestly this truck is bad ass. Love the light bar. Plus reliability of Toyota. Great truck.
Great video. I have a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro double cab and in a month it will be two years since my order was fulfilled. I would never ever sell this truck. I've owned a Tacoma V6, F-150 Ecoboost King Ranch, and a GMC Sierra 1500 6.2L V8, and the Tundra with Fox shox is the most comfortable truck I have ever driven. I love the simplicity of it's interior, I love the seats which are very comfortable for long trips (the GMC were the worst seats I've ever had in a vehicle), and it tows better than any truck I have owned.
I have 42,008 miles on it now and I think it is the best highway cruising engine ever. I just got back from a two week vacation taking the family from central Texas to West Virginia, and with wife, three kiddos, and a 6,500 lbs camping trailer, I got 10.8 mpg the entire way there and back. My F-150 Ecoboost averaged around 7.5-8 mpg, and the GMC Sierra averaged around 10 mpg. My kids are older and bigger now then during those days.
Twin turbos suck ass for towing.
Anyway, great video and its a shame you sold that 2021 Tundra.
Pro Tip...If you're seeing the side of your truck when you look in the side mirrors (07:46 mark in your video) then your mirrors aren't adjusted correctly for your blind spot. They should be adjusted so the side of your vehicle is just outside of the mirrors view. With this setting every car behind you three lanes wide should be visible in at least one of your mirrors. If a car passes or overtakes you on the right or left...as soon as it leaves that side mirror it should appear in the window itself.
Sounds you were freezing your ass off, but yet you continued to finish the video, much appreciated…thanks for the info
The 2023 Tundra has got me seriously considering Toyota for the first time. Im traditionally a Big 3 shopper. Not really "Brand loyal" per say. I Love the TRD Pro trim and styling, I just wish they would offer it with a 6.5' bed. I know the idea behind TRD is Off-Road, shorter wheel base, blah blah blah. But with the costs of these trucks nowadays, you should be able to order them dang near "A La carte".
definitely agree.
i just dont know about the twin turbo v6
@@Rylanhere A nice V8 is definitely preferable but 437hp and like 540lb ft of torque is solid for what it is, better than alot of competitors and it’s a Toyota so it should be quality
@@patrickwenning4431 i just don’t like the twin turbos more things to break.
I agree on the a la carte side. at 70k plus there is zero reason to not allow ordering just about any way you want it. but toyota doesn't even work on ordering right now, you get what the dealers are allocated still.
you can get the 6.5 in most of the other trims even with the crew max. Which is a new addition for the 22+ models which is nice, but still should offer on the pro.
As a 2020 Raptor owner this TRD Pro looks good. It presents very well.
Great review. Black does look amazing for the TRD pro. Black looked good on the Tundra in the previous generation. On an another note - Corwin Toyota in Fargo, ND is a great dealership. I drive 3 hrs to buy my 2021 1794, off-road Tundra there in 2021. They gave me a good price and trade as well. Looking forward to hearing more about your experience with the 2023 TRD Pro
Thanks Raj! Appreciate that. Glad to hear you’ve had an equally positive experience within Corwin. 👌
I ordered this beauty on September 2022, I Got it on February 8, 2023, with some extra features, I finished the papers for $91,000. I drove it 5 miles (Five), and it's in the dealer since last night, 9 features require sensors are not working now, I am not happy. Made in America.
The new Tundra is a truck that has to be done right and with all the options on it for me to like it. This one in the video is freaking beautiful looking and I wish I could afford it. The all blacked out appearance, rims and tires make it perfect.
Thank you! I’m shocked by how much I actually like this black color on the pro. The “loud” parts are subdued by the dark paint -which really adds to it’s overall appeal. 👌
@@UntamedMotors consumer reports does not recommend this vehicle… no easy way to get in the bed, mpgs are not much better than outgoing v8, reliability unproven, no bench seat option, fit and finish atrocious, engine failures the list goes on
I’m glad you got back even though it wasn’t your first choice. Kinda cool looking actually. Also, in my opinion when a dealership puts add ons like the PPF, tonneau cover, and door guards and you don’t know about it shows that the dealership is looking out for the customer and not just themselves.
You pay for those things. Nobody is looking out for us.
The base model Tundra's are hideous but the TRD pro with some beefier tires looks pretty sweet. Love the way yours looks! Looking to get a new truck sometime next year. Putting in over time every day aiming for a trx but will definitely look into all other options once the time comes.
Best of luck.
There are so many good trucks in the market! But still hate the price tags 😂😂
Yeah i totally agree, unless it's a TRD PRO or Capstone I find the Tundra's super ugly and vanilla.
there ain't ugly cars, but cars with ugly tires...
7:29 the black wheels, red center caps and white lettering on the tires remind me of a modern version of the back the future truck!! Check out that 4x4.
I'd never want black, but the black PRO with a white BFG's are awesome! Great looking truck!
Yup looks nice when clean but dirrrrty
I had a 22 TRD PRO in the same colour. Glad you changed the tires. The Falkens that came standard on mine were SHOCKING in the snow. I just traded it in for a 23 fully loaded Platinum. Only request was KO2s for tires. lol Great truck you have there, I love the black, personally other than it always looks dirty so quickly.
why did you go from pro to platinum? I like the looks of the pro but like the inside goodies of the 1794 and platinum trucks.
@@condonsautoparts for exactly that reason. The TRD PRO WAS very cool. BUT, am I ever going to run the baja? am I ever going to truly take a truck that expensive off road and break it? we both know the answer. This is also our family car....my family very much appreciate the rear heated and cooled seats and far fancier interior over the cool factor of the TRD PRO I couldn't afford to break. I tow....a LOT, but otherwise my truck like most, is a pavement princess.
Super nice truck! Congratulations. The raptor msrp is like $60k, but the cheapest you'll find one is around 90k and up. People have lost their minds.
The Raptor MSRP is not 60k. They start at over 75k.
Amazing truck! I got my TRD PRO at Carlsbad Toyota great dealership and customer service!! I love the tech and new redesign. I added the same tires plus the designs leveling kit. Enjoy it 🤙🏾ready for off-road!!
Love it. Cant justify new vehicle costs though. Simply put. I don't think its 50-60k better than an old tundra/landcruiser/4runner
I agree. Unfortunately 70K has become the new “50K” thanks for inflation and several other related supply factors. =\
I had a TRD Pro Tundra and now I have Tacoma. I am so disappointed in Toyota with the new Tundra and Sequoia. The last gen Tundra was so much better quality on the interior and had no wind noise. The rear seat is small in the full 4-door cab because they are using the same rear seat that they use in the extended cab. And now the new one has less of a turning radius, its fuel mileage is not that much better, has fake engine noise and no tow hooks in the front. When you get a truck stuck, the front bumper is most likely going to be at ground level, and you are not going to be able to get under it to hook to the frame, that is why you need tow hooks, I don’t understand it. How is it better? It doesn't even look better than the old one.
I don’t like driving trucks from the big three because that’s all you see all day; I like to have something different and if I was going to buy a new full-size truck, I would be heading to the Nissan dealer. You really should think twice about getting that Sequoia.
I think Japan should send over a group of executives and when they land, they should go straight to security and have them escort everyone in truck design and engineering out the door, take their truck fobs and let them call a cab.
Love the tundra in black. You should make the lightbar yellow or amber for inclement weather. Let’s see a 0-120mph run😅😂
Amber light bar would be neat 👌
I had a 22 TrdOff road and it was a good truck, I now have the 24 Trd Pro and between the two there are some big differences. Hands down the imax engine is much better more power, but also more finicky and it is louder in mechanical noises. The suspension is obviously better off road but not on the street, very bouncy, I thought. I am running duratracs got rid of those crappy wilderpeaks it came with definitely helped out. I have a boat I pull and you cant even tell it has 3000+ pounds on it, I didn't need the tow mirrors guess that's a preference. Interior is nicer looks like they spent a bit longer putting it together. I don't like that you can only use the grill light with the high beams wish i could use it when "I" wanted to. Hate the auto lights on this truck, they move when other cars come in and cut off your lighted path. They should've just left the adjustment wheel like on the regular Tundra. Also the headlights are weird they cutoff maybe 40 ft down the street and you can't see at all, like someone drew a line in the road and the light won't go past that? I really do like the truck much better than my Trd Off road model. But is it worth the extra 25K? If I can get the Trdoff road with the Imax engine then I would definitely go that way! But it wasn't available when I got my pro!
I know you have a love for V8 Tundra but in my point of view this one is better than previous, I will give a little time to Toyota and wait for coming facelift of this truck. Overall this truck is cool. Enjoy your new truck
Better than previous? You must be out of your freaking mind boy 🤣🤣
@@kp8886 yes it is, other than ur ego that loves v8 sound and bragging rights, tell me other reason why v8 is better ?
@Monica reliability? Longevity? The 1 million miles engine? Ring a bell? I think your ego was hurt 🤣🤣
@Monica when you're talking about half ton pick up trucks, that V8 5.7L Tundra is probably the best truck ever made and you're talking about my ego cause of the sound of that V8? 🤣🤣🤣
@@kp8886 is that it ? Only reliability ?? How can u say this one isnt reliable ???
Lol so the only thing u think the v8 is better is reliability which u cant even prove yet lol
Wow!! What an awesome looking truckk… wish I had the money to get one . Enjoy it 🤙🏾
Thanks a ton man!
I’m sold on this truck now. So nice
I said id never own black vehicle again, but man that new tundra looks so good in black
Beautiful truck!!!! I think your tires look really good with the white letters out!!! I absolutely love my platinum, I look forward to driving it every time I get in it. As much as I loved my 2020 I don’t miss it at all, and appreciate the changes every time I sit in my fathers 2020 Pro.
Thanks man. I’m with you… there’s a lot to like with this new platform. It feels 2023. 👌
beautiful truck buddy I just bought my first Tundra, 2023 4X2 Hybrid Limited. I love it. Sub
Awesome man! Congratulations on your 23 Limited! 👌 Thank you.
I'm falling more and more in love with this truck. I'm an SUV guy, so I would probably love a Sequioa, but I don't like the light-bar taillights they used for that. Would have preferred the upright verticals, like on this Tundra. I mean, it makes sense, right? Since it competes with the Tahoe, Expedition, & such, but they went ahead and made it look like a Pathfinder, or Traverse. Yuck!
Congrats on the truck. Hope you get to enjoy it for many years to come.
Thanks a ton man! It’s a sweet truck… loving it more and more each time I drive it. It’s a blast. I hear you on the sequoia, I’m surprised they did that too for the tails. Good point considering it’s competition. 👌
Love the black dude, this tundra is really growing on me! Love it man!
Much appreciated brother 🙌
Agreed. I’m usually not a black color vehicle fan either but here, it hides that huge grill.
Lol..I knew you had a true liking to the new tundra, You were waiting for that perfect look/trim to hit you.😅. I can here the excitement in your voice! When you got the last gen Voodoo blue, I said "Tamed ain't gonna keep that truck!" 🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations on that beautiful beast and Welcome to the 3rd Gen!
Haha thanks man. I am very excited to have this now… I gotta play it cool though or else the V8 gang will destroy me lol.
@@UntamedMotors 🤣...I get it
The tires do make a huge upgrade for looks
Thanks man. Shocked by how much it improved the look. 👌
Nice!!!! With two kiddos I’m going to have to upgrade from my 1794 to the Capstone version of the Sequoia…. But this beast right here is very nice!
Black is really cool actually.
Really nice truck.. I have a 2020 TRD in cement color, lifted with 35’s: however, nothing about this trucks makes me want to upgrade.
Nice looking truck. Tires look great. Good luck with it. Hopefully that engine lives up to Toyotas reputation for reliability.
Doubt it
Super cool truck
Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi, it's a beautiful Toyota tundra! Congratulations enjoy your truck.
Thank you Veronica! 🙏🏼
Until they increase the cab space again i’ll probably get it. But until now as a dad my 6 seating bench crewmax 2015 will do!
Must be fat.
Couldn’t help but noticed that he likes grunge music, specifically nirvana 😎
That’s probably the nicest spec tundra I’ve seen
My uncle bought hey 1987 Toyota forerunner I have no clue he still has it in his garage immaculate he said people are are still paying good money for them around I’m seeing a lot of older Land Cruiser‘s and Toyota pick ups out there👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪
Awesome truck man. I can't believe the price. I got a ram 2500 cummins to tow with for 74. Midnight package and tows 20k thus shouldn't be over 50k. My first tundra 18 costed 38 new. It was a awesome truck.
Power wise I think it's great! Plus bronze accents will add a nice touch to the colour.
I agree! Bronze wheels on this would look great 👌
Thank you for putting the white letters on the outside of the tires lol.
As a Trail Boss owner, that’s not a bad looking truck.
Thank you, Clay!
Funny thing is I love the look of these new ones but I will miss the V8. But I just bought my first Toyota a 2009 tacoma 4X4 5 speed. Never imagined being outside of a ford but the timing and the fact it had a manual and my car was dead I had to buy something at that moment. Compared to my 07 ranger I had I quality of the tacoma is night and day. Ride quality build quality etc. I love fird but being 21 I need something that will be reliable for a long tine and something I can work with so in comes the tacoma. But I would love to have one of these in a perfect world with a 6 speed manual.
I've owned 2 Tundras 2019 SR5 Double Cab and now a 2020 Limited Crewmax and they both had blind spot monitors and all the new safety features Toyota was putting out. I love the look of the Truck, don't get me wrong. It is amazing looking, but I didn't by a Truck from fuel economy. I love my 5.7L V8 and the sound it makes with my TRD Dual Exhaust system. Everything is preferences and I feel if Toyota just held out 1 to 2 more years and gave people options to either pick the 5.7L V8 or switch to the Twin. Their sales would explode! I love the look of my truck, but wouldn't mind having the new body with the bullet proofing of the 5.7L V8. Ford is putting the V8 back in the Raptor because of what people were saying about the V6. Love the truck, but I just can't get rid of that V8 power and fun.
I’m not exactly sold on the new generation here it looks decent with it being all black and the previous does have blind spot monitoring etc my 2020 TRD sport off-road 4x4 has all of that the BSM and RCTA etc
That thing looks badasss, it’s a beautiful truck, it would be my choice
That is one beautiful truck my man. Congrats. I ended up buying a 2022 F150 Tremor but really wanted to check out the new Tundra. Unfortunately I was told that there was a year waiting list for one so I elected for another Ford. But you got a nice looking ride
Trust, you made the right choice, those 2022 ford are 3 gen as this tundra is 1 gen, it's already having problems. At least ford worked out all their problems with the 3.5L TT.
@@MWAclanGaming I’ve had 3 F150s with the 3.5 Ecoboost, including the Raptor. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have a lick of trouble with any of them, but then again, I barely kept them a year so they had hardly any miles. But I believe you’re correct. With all the Cam Phaser issues they hopefully (by this time) got the problems worked out. But it took how many years??? Toyota owners may be experiencing some serious pain with their new engine design. I hope not but for 70-80 grand you’d thjnk that you wouldn’t have to deal with that.
@@robertf3340 yeah but unfortunately every car manufacturer uses the first gen as their Guinea pigs, to test out all the problems to later fix them. Car engineer make them but don't know how to fix them so mechanic over time at the toyota dealership will put bullets to them so years later the next gen the problem would be solved. Same with Ford 3.5L ecoboost the first gem had serious problems with seals behind the engine and lifers and cams. The 3 gen are great because there problems are fixed except for some ford raptor for who know what.
@@MWAclanGaming For what they charge people for these vehicles they should be ashamed but yeah, the public bares the brunt of the F-ups fro. The designers and manufacturers. It’s always been that way and always will. Just a little less palatable now that the standard price for most cars starts abokt the 45-50k range.
Ford is years ahead of Toyota. You honestly made the right choice. I just purchased my first ford after only owning Toyota. Fords been at it with the eco boost for a while now so just makes sense
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the Raptor looks like kids Tonka Toy to me, the Tundra limited TRD PRO package is understated but very rugged looking, much cooler rig.
I was never a big fan of the previous gen tundras but man that is a nice looking truck!
lol. time to get better glasses
@@marcelo403polo2 you must be a bow tie driver!
@@chrisr.r7643 nope
@@marcelo403polo2 soo?
Man. That is one sweet ass truck. Congrats
the only thing i personally didn't like aesthetically was the length of the bed; i wish it was longer by a foot.
Same here… wish we got the long bed as an option on the Pro…
Amazing truck! I love the tech and new redesign. I added the same tires plus the westcott designs leveling kit. I drove my 2022 tundra 4x4 trd off road (non hybrid )from Los Angeles to San Diego, roughly 150 miles. I didn't even get 12mpg. My 2020 sr5 4x4 will give me 11mpg on 35s with a similar setup. Performance wise the new gen feels quicker. I'm not seeing the savings at the pump going from a v8 to this twin turbo. What are you averaging on your mpg's?
What? I thought the new tundras mpg were at or above 20mph!??
@jbw5485 the bigger wheels and lift hurt my mpgs. I can't compare the miles per gallon I got before the lift and tires where installed. I drove the truck for about 40 miles then got the new wheels.
@@jbw5485 what they claim and reality are very different. 13-16 is real results from most drivers. You can get 18 if you drive with a really lite foot
@@condonsautoparts yeah I understand what they claim is different from reality but I’ve watched a few CZcams videos showing it in the 22 to 24 mpg range. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Looks really good in all black
Thanks man, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good this midnight black metallic actually looks in this new Gen. =]
Love your truck, but show everything I was looking forward to you opening the hood so we can take a look at the engine to me. That’s the best part.
Thanks man, sorry for leaving that part out!
Love the black and bigger tires 😍
Thank you so much!
Best believe this will outlast all competitors.
Great review and gorgeous truck
Thank you, Fernando!
Would’ve been nice if they had more color options and an option to get black instead of the camo theme. Would’ve loved to get mine in Silver with black instead of camo.
this is a dream truck of mine but I think im too short for a full sized (5'8) but these things are so cool and I love that rear window that can go down thats a big thing for me
You’re are definitely NOT too short for a full size truck! Haha I’m 5’9” and it feels right.
Beautiful truck i wish i own one last year i bought 2022 venza hybrid limited i really love it good on gas ⛽ very comfortable and quiet lexus like interior materials thanks for your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Congratulations on truck. I’m loving my 2021 TrdPro Tundra for now, looks very similar to this one in black. It’s tempting but will wait on 24”s and then get the 23. See how the turbo reliability turns out. How’s the wind noise in comparison to your 21?
Is the interior worth the price tag? Apparently it is considering you bought one. The car companies will charge as much as people are willing to pay.
Hey bud,Just for ur info,the tonneau cover should always be left up before closing tailgate or you will ruin the lip of the cover.Nice ride!
You’re right about that. Thanks for the reminder on that.
I cringe everytime I see someone do that let alone numerous times. That lip will get messed up real quick.
I'd love a Tundra or Sequoia. I have no need for anything that big, but man they sure are nice
That is one beautiful truck my man.
The taillights and rear bumper still have me scratching my head. Other than that it’s a great looking truck!
I personally like the look of this new generation Tundra truck much better than the old generation. It looks more toned and it’s almost like a big Tacoma which is amazing as the Tacoma on bigger tires is one of the better looking trucks. The Tundra is a big truck that doesn’t look overly big due to such muscular toned design. This Tundra definitely looks like it went to the gym to get ready for the fight. That front end being longer makes it look more fit and toned. I know Untamed likes the stubby front look, but I respectfully disagree, this Tundra looks better to me. I never understood why people didn’t like it when it initially came out but when I compare it to the big three I still like it much better. I guess everyone has their subjective opinion on the looks. I bet this truck will eventually end up growing on everyone. I also love the Black as well as that Supersonic Red exterior colors as well as the Red Interior which is awesome. I think that Wescott leveling lift kit would complete the look. I heard the stiffer ride almost improves it because factory setup is overly soft.
I miss the V8 sound but that’s about it, as the new Hybrid has way more torque and horsepower while using less fuel. In my opinion the V8 does not beat this hybrid engine in anything but the sound. I think the reliability of the Hybrid will be the same if not better than the previous gen. V8. Toyota knows Hybrids better than anyone else and this technology had a good 40 years do develop. I believe this engine will be just as bullet proof as anything we have seen so far and I don’t have any doubt about this at all. The interior looks great and keeps that rugged look that may be mistaken for just cheap plastic. Sometimes overly luxurious interior can look more outdated in a few years than base interior. Above all, the most important thing is we all know this truck will outlast 2 F-150s easily 😂😂😂. Remember that Raptor optioned out is easily 90k without markup, I just built it on the Ford website to confirm . The Raptor is better off-road in my opinion due to the big tires and wheel travel, but it does not have 583 ftlbs of torque or better fuel economy.
I just bought a 24 TRD Pro and I’m not impressed. I really hate what I paid for it but hey nobody made me buy it. My trade had north of 25k in equity so I ended up financing about 48k. I’m thinking about going back to a Canyon AT4X. I hate the stock tires. The infotainment is weird. The mpg are crap for being a 6. Seats are comfortable
Can you please tell us how it is in gas does the hybrid help with mpg?
Not so good on gas… 17-20 mpg… even less with the larger 35in tires on. =\ to be fair, the hybrid IForce max was implemented for best performance in mind, not fuel economy.
@@UntamedMotors I was hoping for gas mpg to be improved
@@peterlindner8819 you and me both brother
Nice truck brother, God Bless!!!
Thanks brother, I appreciate it 🙏🏼
I have 2015 Ram 1500 and now is the time where I'd usually trade in....but with the prices of trucks these days I'm holding onto it for awhile. She's paid off and low KM and has been a great truck so no reason to rush. This truck market HAS to cool off with dealerships supposedly struggling to move inventory. I love these new Tundra's but the lower trims are IMO really ugly. This interior is a bit disappointing considering the price tag but Toyota has never been known for interior styling either. ..
I agree… I was hoping for more out of this new Tundra. For the price, we should expect a better package. Prices of trucks are insane I agree… but I can’t imagine manufacturers decreasing msrps. =\
The only thing i hated about my 19 tundra was how the v8 noise was mostly at higher speeds. It was like suffering and trying to hard. Sold it and bought a 22 Mach E premium for the best of both worlds
Mach e would be a ton of fun 👌
Love the way it looks. Niiice truck 🔥
For the freaking price it should come with 35 from factory
beautiful truck. hopefully this year ill own one
Dude! My wife heard your voice as I was watching your video, and she said “Is that Michael Cera?” 😂😂😂
Lol I’ll take it… 👌 💯
I know you rep Go Rhino, but the cast aluminum TRD steps are pretty great. I had the RB20’s on my ‘21 Pro and these are better all around - grippier, perfect width, super sturdy.
Good call not getting a lift. The Westcott 3/1 is stiffer than stock, great on most roads, terrible on bumps, but the economical lift option. Only the Pro can run 35’s stock without rubbing unfortunately.
Toyota is going to provide a stock lift too, I’d go for that since it would be under warranty as well
@@jbzookeeper it’s out already. Good reviews so far but $3k for the kit plus another $1500 install at the dealer is crazy.
I have the same truck and wanted to buy all the parts to make the headliner black. The overhead controls for the sunroof in black was 2,700 bucks! 😂
Geez $2700 seems a bit steep for that hah. Yikes.
@@UntamedMotors yes it is. The parts guy was surprised too. I kind of like lighter color it makes it seem bigger inside. I almost got the platinum instead of the pro just for ambient lighting and black headliner. That would have been a huge mistake! Lol
@@stevemorris6270 haha yeah you definitely made the right move 👌
Great video. I agree with on the headliner not being black. Digital camo everywhere except the ceiling? Makes no sense. Also I think the diamondback would be perfect for the bed. Not huge on this one
Thanks man. Yeah the black liner would have been an easy kill… 🤷♂️ Diamondback would look mean on this black on black pro. 👌
Unlike other years you can get a black roof if you get a capstone
Badass design
Yeah, there are always things that can be improved after the fact. The ONLY change I would ask is for the gas lid to be locked. I have a 2015 Honda Civic Coupe with this technology. Other than that. I am completely happy with my 2023 Tundra and cannot wait to tow my Airstream and start camping!
I don’t know why they won’t lock the gas lid. It’s so risky from a vandalism or theft point of view.
@@shahree100 I would rather have the gas stolen, than have those knuckleheads drill into the gas tank...
It is locked .. there is an electronic button on the dash
Weird civic flex but okay? 🤔 😂
@@ADayInTheLifeOfJames Choices. I don't mind as I get 45 a gallon. Now-a-days that's prices, rest assured, its all black too. Looks sharp and drives easy. I chipped it too.
That is a really beautiful truck. I hope to get a tundra one day.
2023 truck of the year, Motor trend Magazine, comments- on 2 tundra in the test, has a deep rattle in the dash, door panels are paper thin, passenger seat was loose, both tundras over heated their trannies in the tow test, Screen locking up and going black at randum times, still old technology in the screens. Ill keep my 2020 cement limited.
Black looks good when clean! Get ready to wash the truck a bunch if that bothers you. Very cool pick up. Enjoy it while you have it
Ceramic coatings are the best investment on black vehicles.
@@mikehughes8023 I second that! I did a 2 step cut and polish and ceramic coated it makes it easier to wash.
I love that truck in black. Very sharp.
Not to be nitpicky but if you're using your sideview mirrors and can see the side of your truck, you're using them wrong. They are for your blind spots. Traffic in the other lane. Not the side of your truck.
Agree
My father is and old school v8 guy no replacement for displacement etc. after he had a 2010 then 2017 Silverado turds 💩 he got an eco boost 2 years ago. He’s still in love and says he does not miss the v8 at all. I mean who doesn’t love the v8 sound, but it depends on what you gain and the situation. Best of luck. Ps why does the front of the sequoia look better than the tundra when it’s the same thing? Allusion?!
That’s great to hear about your father. Just gotta be open minded. There’s a lot of performance to be gained out of these smaller displacement turbo/hybrid variants.the sequoia front end has a break in the front grill. A body paint break. The larger size of the sequoia allows for a more proportionate look too.
I think the price tag is so high on new Toyotas because they know that these vehicles are probably going to last like 800,000 to a million miles so you're not actually paying for luxury you're paying for quality.
Your truck looks amazing! Love the stance! What's the exact tire size on those BFGs? I have the same truck Solar Octane!!!
Great looking truck, the engine makes me nervous long term.
Look at me and my superfluous spending on something that’s way more than needed for anything I do day to day
I have the solar and I get more people rolling down their windows with thumbs up than I expected ..
That’s awesome, Solar octane is such a vibrant color 👌
Damn. That's a great looking truck.
Wow, you have a beautiful truck!
