The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road CZcams Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!
Just took delivery of a new Tundra last week . Have owned Ford pickups since 1979 and this is the best truck of all the brands I have seen in recent years!
Great job Toyota!!
Happy trails.
This Tundra is making me appreciate a more simple and classic interior these days. These new truck interiors have so much going on, this Tundra is refreshing. Never thought I'd say this. Excellent review as always!
signdetres yes, I totally agree. Too much nonsense going into a lot of cars nowadays, even trucks
me too man
I agree! I love the fact there still using knobs for the ac controls. Makes a lot easier when you got gloves on. My 18 Titan is same way. The CZcams reviewers knock the Tundra and Titan because of basic interior. That's what I love about them. Less shit to break also
This is old school, by today’s standards, but it’s still first on my list of pickups. The price, style, power, and reliability are better than anything under 50k.
sure is
I bought a 2018 crewmax tss sportseries sr5 for $40,500 last month on the 30th brand new with 20 miles. You can't find a better truck for the money in my opinion. I traded in a 2016 tacoma trd offroad for the tundra. Loving the tundra so far.
Am I the only one who thinks trucks arnt meant to be priced over 40k I mean jesus cmon now 50k or even 40k for a truck is crazy
reliability and cost of long term ownership are more important than air conditioned seats , a 60 inch 4k touchscreen radio, automatic windshield wipers. some of the technology in these luxury trucks are so unnecessary. just buy what works and will work for a long time.
@@KyLesCaster They're called luxury trucks for a reason. You don't need to buy it; every brand still sells basic work trucks.
This will be my next truck, no more ecoboost crap for me
Joe B what happened?
This really is the working man's truck. Very simple, a somewhat old-school approach in a modern automotive era. Loved the review, and also loved the audio test bit, happy holidays!
All it needs is an 8 foot bed.
yep!
Right Lane Hog well you can get an 8 foot bed in all but crewmax
I don't care what people say, the tundra is one of the best trucks on the market! What the tundra has 10 years ago is what other trucks are just starting to have now
It may be dated, but these trucks last. That's some thing in my eyes.
ram trucks last longer
@@inspectorjavert5563 no. I’m a ram owner. Never again. They absolutely do not last longer than a bulletproof tundra. My exhaust manifolds cracked and studs broke off inside the head at 76k miles, I have had the “hemi” lifter tick since 50ish miles but now getting louder so it might be a lifter failing, which that’s a major problem also now even in newer rams. My nav screen failed when I did the Chrysler map update. Luckily covered under warr since it was their software glitch that wrecked it. Now have a rumble noise from time to time between 2nd and 3rd gear shift. Had I gotten the horrible air ride suspension option- that would have most likely failed already too. Massive issues with that. Thank god I only got the bighorn package w/o air ride. It’s a nice truck really, but unreliable and I would have already dumped it if it wasent for the 100k power train warr.
@@Michael-rl5ki sounds like you got a lemon, ram's are proven the longest lasting trucks on the road
@@inspectorjavert5563 not true. My co workers are dealing with many of the same problems as me on their rams. From various years. One of them had his lifter fail at 112k and wipe out the cam also. Unacceptable. Do a quick search on hemi tick, and lifter failure. It’s very common and many ram owners got screwed. Many many cases. What year is yours? Longest lasting?? Haha what study was that from?
@@inspectorjavert5563 Fiat Chrysler isn’t offering short-block engine options for sale on the 5.7, because they know they are issue prone and people will end up swapping the old cam/lifter/ top ends to the new short block. Which will fail and then they would have to honor the warranty on it. Which they don’t want to do. It’s an admission to a faulty product which they don’t want to just come out, and be honest with. Going to make a lot of independent shops money on this garbage. But I’m not hating on just ram. Ford and Chevy all going through huge recalls and constant issues with Ecco-boost problems. Chevys 2016-18 8 speed auto issues are well known.
This week I came across a Tundra in Switzerland. That was quite special. Usually people import F150s or Raptors but not really Tundras 😄
slaWterCH what color? i think that person might be in my toyota group on facebook
woah!
Last year I went to Switzerland and the only American vehicles I saw there Ford Mustang and Ford Raptor.
I would import a tundra. Sounds like its unique
The best truck you can get for under 40k. Good looking, great power and it will last for many years. Cudos to TheTopher who also increased the camera and sound quality.
Yep, it's engineered to last 25 years.
Senna4EvR because it hasn’t been redesigned for 25 years
@@RestrictedHades To me it looks great. Especially in a black or white colour. My favourite expensive truck though is the Chevrolet Silverado.
@@RestrictedHades good. means it wont fail for some stupid random reason like every truck the big three puts out
I bought my 2019 TRD Double Cab in September. Love it. Drove it from Portland OR to Tucson area and back, including 4 days 4 wheeling in Death Valley over the T-giving holiday. No problems. All good. Great ride. That 38 gallon tank will take you a looooong ways between fuel stops.
I love the fact that he was actually DRIVING the truck. Meaning, not scared he's going to break it. Great review. I'm buying this now.
The Tundra is designed by both American, Japanese engineers and built in Texas. Since Japan is not experienced in the truck market, they hired an American as chief engineer and got input from him on what Americans like in their trucks. The 5.7 is the best because it has no Active Fuel Management or turbo crap. Just a regular non aspirated V8.
For off roading prowess, Toyota can teach the others a thing or two.
If turbo crap why truck use turbo diesel?
Its so relaxing watching someone else drive with music lol. Great review!
sure is
And it has a good stereo and great bass 🎧🎧
I love the older looking interior. I hate having stupid screens everywhere.
me too man
@@treerexaudi Happy to hear I'm not alone. I look at screens all day. I'm sick and tired of them. Certainly don't want all of the interior being covered in screens.
Not alone at all man! I have a 1987 toyota corolla and love the fact it has no screens. I now daily a brz (that only has a small screen which I leave in default mode) though as I can't daily the 1987 in the winter due to the salt. But yeah totally feel ya on the whole looking at screens all day. @@weedmastersr
Screen everywhere? What do you mean. The toyota tundra has the same amount of screens as any other truck
*theres only one screen*
Unlike its competitors, this won't leave you stranded on the side of the road!
so true!
@@treerexaudi So where are all these vehicles stranded on the side of the road? I never see any... what a crock
I see some stranded on the road here and there sometimes mainly on highways @@mjuberian
This is true
lunisce does it come with a 24/7 wrecker package?
I have a 2014 in that exact configuration. I picked it up about 2 months ago with just over 30K miles. I absolutely love it! The Tundra is an absolute beast of a vehicle. It's a truck, and a damn fine one. These vehicles are expected to run 300K+ without issue. Toyota quality. I'll be very interested in the 2022 redesign. Until then, I'm going to rock what I consider to be the best built, best value truck on the market.
Best manufacturing and mechanical quality of any truck. Cannot go wrong with the 1UR-FE or 3UR-FE V8s. Don't think I'd spend the extra money on appearance.
preach it!
That 3UR is legendary.
When your Dodge 3500 transmission kicks the bucket at 30k miles this thing could probably do 10x more problem-free miles with normal maintenance
wow thats sad :(
That's true but this truck isn't capable of anywhere near what that 3500 is. Apples and oranges.
If you actually need a Ram 3500 your towing about 3 times what this truck can tow. So not an accurate comparison.
Yes! 5th gear is slipping on my 2016 2500 with 25k miles. No towing either smh. I don't know if i should fix it or trade it in. No warranty because it has a tuner
To be fair I rode the living piss out of the tundra from 105,000 to now 155k and my 2nd and 3rd gear were slipping so i put a new one in for 1800 plus labor. I've drifted the damn truck, had it maxed out wayyyy too much, took it through some mud that it should've sunk in, etc. They were not slipping much just right when it went into gear, but it wouldn't get into 6th gear on the highway unless I put it in S6. Rides like brand new. 2008 5.7 tundra tow package 155k miles. I did not at all need replacement but I thought it would be wise.@@TARider2
I usually hate pickups. But I love Toyota's trucks. Very pretty truck 😍
The 80's 1st and 2nd gen were real trucks built to last. Best engines ever built 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video. I've got a 2011 Crewmax SR5 TRD and I love it. Its my work/personal truck and I've put 190k miles on it. At least 70% of those miles were towing, whether its my work trailer with two 100 gallon chemical tanks on it or towing my jet skis frequently in summer. I take excellent care of my work trucks. I hate seeing trucks getting beat to hell simply because 'its a work truck'. I like when customers ask me if its a new truck when its 8 years old. My current Tundra is the 4.6L and thats the only regret I have. I'm now looking at a new truck, only to avoid any potential repairs/downtime that could pop up after 200k. It blows me away how long the truck has lasted with almost no repairs needed in its lifetime outside of normal maintenance. I'm looking at a double cab this time for more bed space. My current Crewmax has a toolbox leaving me very little bedroom. I have no kids, just my wife and I, we do like to just go and find some adventure by sleeping in our vehicles (who needs nasty hotels?). We slept in the back seat of our Crewmax a few nights on a trip. The new plan is to add a camper top to the new Tundra, with the 6.5 foot bed so we can sleep in the back and with some plywood in place of the tailgate at night, we can add an A/C for hot night camping with the jet skis. When Monday comes, I can just swap out the camping gear for some tubs full of my work stuff and we've got a transformer truck! I do wish Toyota had a few more technology options in the Tundra like Apple CarPlay, access to leather seats without going Limited (ventilated would be a dream for this Texan working in the heat). My wife often complains about my truck stinking, I can't blame her. I work in the heat, I mountain bike in the heat, I get in the truck wet from jet skiing (with a towel down), these cloth seats take a beating.
I have a 2007 tundra with 214,000 miles with no problems what so ever ! Will be buying the 2020 tundra next yr.
I have an 07' 5.7L with 130k .. It's a work truck and it's been beyond excellent.. Part of me is holding out for the next generation but i'd be happy with a 2019, even though it's fundamentally the same. It's not the best truck... but it's one of the best trucks! You have to live with it to really appreciate it's merits.
I estimate your Tundra will be "beyond excellent" for at least 10 more years. It will be interesting to see the truck options in 2029.
thats awesome!
Really appreciate the way you do reviews. As someone who is currently shopping online for a truck this video is nice to kinda get "inside" the vehicle. Thank you for your work!
This Double Cab SR5 with a full eight foot bed would be my choice in the full-size pickup market.
@@cbskwkdnslwhanznamdm2849 It is listed on the Toyota web site.
woah
@@cbskwkdnslwhanznamdm2849 you can. But not the crew max. Just the double cab, now called just 'tundra'. No more single cab.
អាឆូួ្កត
I pondered that quite a bit I really wanted the crewmax but I did not want to suffer on the shorter bed it's too bad you can't get the crewmax with the long box cuz who wouldn't pick that but you're limited to the double cab with a long box so I went with the double cab
The truck is very outdated but still one of the best in full size pickups.
indeed
It is the best because it's built like a 3/4 ton.
Yea and Toyota knows it, hence the price tag
@@motorhead_jt21 they're priced competitively. I know someone who bought a brand new Ram with the Fiat diesel engine. Top model It's the top model. He paid $68,000CAD for it less taxes! And he told me it only tows 7800lbs.
LP what the hell??? Is the Fiat Diesel the 6 cylinder ecodiesel?
Just rolled over 43,000 on my 2019 Limited, like it better and better everyday.
Love the video. Perfect format, love the music and interstate driving, just something about it was amazing
same!
I swear only toyota and honda are still using real keys for their cars still
true man
And, God bless them.
Good. I love real keys
Thank God!
And i prefer it!
Good comprehensive review. I think the important thing for folks in the market to consider is that the Tundra sticker price is high but Toyota dealers are willing to deal on these trucks, because they are selling slow. So dont let sticker price fool you. Go to a dealer and beat them up. I was able to get 9 grand off sticker for my 2018 SR5 Crewmax TRD Offroad 4x4. It had been sitting on the lot for over 6 months this past summer along with a ton of other 2018s. Look at the build date inside the driver side door on the sticker. It will give you an indicator as to how long the dealer has had that specific vehicle sitting. The longer it has been there the more incentivized they will be to get rid of it.
I'm patiently looking for one as well. Can I ask if you paid in full, or financed? And what was final price?? Thanks
I've been shopping these trucks pretty hard. Only real shortfalls I find are the fuel mileage compared to other offerings and the complete unavailability of a locking rear differential at any trim level. Any truck labeled "Off Road" or "Pro" should have a rear locker.
You would be surprised just how good the Atrac is on this thing.
Tundra has no atrac only auto lsd
Really love those Tundras
same
I've driven and owned every manufacturer of truck. To me it's roll of the dice, I've owned and driven each one that was good, reliable great bang for buck and then I've been burned. Toyota does have the least probability of issues but needs to get with the times. Not that's it's bad it just can be better. Definitely love the way trucks have evolved in 20 years, it's almost night and day.
Listen to that beast start-up!!!
12 years on a single generation of Tundra? Hopefully 2020 model year will be an entire new generation of Tundra, built on the TNGA platform with 500 lb weight reduction, 8 speed auto with mpg increased to 17/22 and the interior massively updated
Gotta love the Tundra roar👍😊...
I honestly think you cannot beat simplicity in a truck. Other branded trucks have way too many bells and whistles especially if you are just looking for a good solid truck.
That’s what the base model is for 🤷♂️
What you do with the videos and headphones is amazing 👏👏
I just got that exact truck. No more ecobpost, weird buttons like cat/fold or screaming "BLUE TOOTH AUDIO!!!!!!!!!!!" It is quiet but it roars when you unleash the beast and I can put all kinds of stuff in the center console
What's your combined MPG?
Built to last.
I love this Big Truck!!! Hope to have it someday... and nice video as well!!! Keep it up dude
Well done. Excellent review. Kinda wanna Tundra now. U may have planted the seed.
oof same here man
Because apparently nobody realizes this: every brand still makes bone-basic work trucks where the only features of note might be power windows, power locks, and the federally-mandated reverse camera. You can still get trucks on the cheap and basic if you, for whatever reason, don't want the amenities to make your daily drive more enjoyable. You might have to special order it or have your dealer look high and low for hundreds of miles around, but they're there.
It's so funny reading comments from people who apparently hate comfort, convenience, and basic safety equipment. Old people confuse me. Why wouldn't you want amenities that make your drive more comfortable and safe? It's like they think it makes them less of a man.
Looks great in that color
I hope Toyota keeps the same v8 with 8 speed or 10 speed for the 2020.
I was told by a Toyota dealership that they were told they were.
Toyota interiors take me back to 2005.....
Heck their 2005 interiors are better compared to their interiors today.
Looks like we have 4 thumbs down 👎 jealous people 😂 against 445 👍
Love Toyota . simple and reliable .don't need all computer crap
Your videos are so relaxing!
I've decided to to buy a 2019 Tundra but in a few years. Love the design of this truck and dont care about the interior and all that fancy tech automakers keep shoving down peoples throats.
Really enjoy your style of reviews.
I really liked this video, congratulations!
I feel like the Tundra looks like a real mans truck
This truck is made to work.
I have a 2015 TRD Pro Tundra Crew-Max. I like the simplicity. Heat, radio and go forward stick. The only update to 'new' I love is the GPS on dash.
I hate the small 26 gallon tank... Now the 38.... Yasssss too bad the 15s dont have the bigger tank cant go far.
I have owned 2 GM pickups and have had nothing but reliability issues and repair problems. My current Chevy 1500 4x4 is being traded in for this exact truck in magnetic grey metallic. I have the spray on bed liner a tri fold tonneau cover. I take delivery on Friday and am looking forward to trouble free truck ownership. Toyota for me from here out. Yea the Fords and the Chevys look nice but they simply are not built with the quality and strength Toyota builds into their Trucks.
Glad you was driving. I was about to fall asleep with the second song.
Great review! Highway driving with the music is quite nice.
you should review the 2019 6 speed manual tacoma. I just got one and boy can I say it’s a blast to drive. kind of surprising on the amount of power
Manual is the way to go.
yus!
I really wanted a Tacoma with the manual, but the seating position did not work for me. I settled for a 20 Platinum. No regrets!
Cool! A nice drive on a Sunday afternoon.
o yeah
awesome review👍👍and love the tundras for sure❤❤❤
indeed!
Nice truck...great review
Mate, can you provide the link for the audio music....I like the first one, good for long trips...
Great video as always!!! 👍😎🚤⚓
Get the open country RT tires and Fuel wheels 😁 ... hit like to convince him to change them
Kamal Elayyan he doesn’t own it dumbass
I’m not gonna lie it picks up pretty quick
I love this😍
me too!
This 2019 Toyota Tundra Is An Amazing Truck-Cab Is Really Great Interior They Have Really Tight Seatbelts Which Is Incredibly Tighter Than The Other Seatbelt It Would Be Great Buying This For 25'000000 Dollars I Would Probably Take This To Home Depot For Any Special Deliveries That People Need Thats A Really Offered Truck-Cab
Just bought a Barcelona red SX sr5 today. Picking it up tomorrow 👍👍👍.
How do you like it thus far? I am in the market myself.
Steven Falcon I love it. If you want fancy . Buy a ford or dodge. The tundra just feels like a really well built truck. It’s the reason I bought one.
Look at that infotainment system, the competition is probably scrambling to improve theirs. Especially RAM!! 😂
ZR1Terror *Fiat
You should still shoulder check, that grey Lincoln suv almost smoked you on the merge.
But take my money for the Tundra. Love it.
Less technology gizmo gadgets to go wonky. I prefer the Tundra as well. I will be getting one in the near future. Sport model with bigger tyres. No lift required.
There is no “sport” mode. It is “select” mode. It simply lets you select the highest gear it will engage.
I have the 2019 Tundra Crewmax. Feels way bigger than the Silverado I had, which it probably is. One thing I love about it, it may feel big to drive but it turns way better and tighter than what my Silverado did. So far I’m 800 miles in, so she’s obviously still great. One thing I considered when buying a new truck was reliability. Fingers crossed I don’t have to the same issues that my Silverado has before 40,000 miles. As for the interior, who cares! Keep it simple, it’s great. The only thing that matters is how long that motor and transmission will last. Back seats have a shit ton of room! It’s like a couch back there. So overall, I’m happy with Toyota. It does cost a pretty penny though and gas mileage isn’t that great at all but, I think she’s worth it. The only thing I noticed right off the bat with this truck is a metallic click noise once you place it in drive and take off. You can feel it a little in the gas pedal. But it only does it on the first initial take off after placing it in drive. So I don’t know what that’s about but I’ll get it checked.
Updates on that Click In Drive?
@@KingSebun it’s normal ABS engaging
@SRley you must drive the truck hard where ABS engages. I don't blame you tho I hear my Motorcycle ABS kick in when idiots cut me off lol
@@KingSebun oh not at all, I treat my truck like a Queen. I love it. I checked forums out and a lot of people hear the same thing.
I put an 8”life on her too, she’s super sexy now 😂
@SRley I'm in the Market for a Tundra thanks for that info. Hope she lives 500k + Miles until they force us to go eletric.
Love the Tundra review. Curious as how this stacks up against the Ram you reviewed. I love the Ram and have always been more of a Dodge guy when it comes to the trucks
Hasn't the filming location of the vehicle reviews been changing?
I think it has
I bought a 2018 sport 4x4 with 13k miles everything stock in highway speeds I find my steering wheel shaking side to side got tires balanced and still same I have the standard 20in wheels that came with package
Gorgeous color.
Nice review, thanks! I’m looking at this and the Tacoma.
The redo on this truck is coming. I am excited and scared at the same time.
I think a lot of car/truck reviewers when talking about rear seat comfort needs to set the driver and passenger seats at their fullest extensions so that we can get a better idea of what the actual leg room would be for a 5'10" guy looks like. Thanks.
TFLTruck has in theiir various Tundra reviews over the years. With the front seats all the way back a 6'2 guy had plenty of legroom in the back seats.
Imagine that v8 on a mid size sedan..
Imagine that V8 in my 2011 Camry SE with a V6 instead. Would do 0-60 in like 4 seconds instead of 5.6-5.9.
little late but have a 2020 tundra,they added apple carplay to 2020 and up verisions so everything you need ,drive smooth looks good sounds good you don't use anything but your apple car play and ac anyway
As primarily a car driver i find it really weird how slow the body on frame chassis STEERING is, where this truck takes a whole 360 turn , cars especially with fast steering need maybe a quarter of that .
That's deliberate. You don't want a fast steering ratio in a truch, as it will have tremendous effect on handling and stability when towing heavy loads.
@@ManuJohn380 In other words, it is a TRUCK not a car.
me too
Yep, you definitely don't want a twitchy truck.
Did somebody get a new camera??? :D
I think so!
Almost everyone who owns a truck either has a Ford, a GM, or a Dodge. I’d like to get something different than that, for a change, and either get this or a Nissan Titan. That’s just my thought.
Nice and simple truck
There goes a squirrel (adhd much? Lol) then SKIIIRRRRT lol x'D
Good Ol V8
I’m getting back into a Tundra in 2 weeks. Got a taco and I miss the V-8
Very nice truck
Moises De Leon agree 👍👍👌
this is older in tech but still would stand the test of time compared to the silverado and the ram idk about the f150.
Those who liked this review will live a happy life. Those who disliked will have a lot of problems in life.
Music at the end made a heart attack in my ears
Just hit 2000 miles on my 2019 TRD pro.
no bed liner?! wtf?
You can put on one though. I recommend rhino liner
jrag1000 it depends, my tundra came off the lot with a spray liner
Depends bro
Sprayed in bedliner is standard on the 2020 and up models
I love this truck but it still has the same center controls as the 2015
Fancy gear???! You have a 1 mm radar pulse exiting your truck and targeting potential dangers at your convenience. What do you think fancy is? Death rays? Nice review by the way. Thank you.
Thanks brother
The bed is actually 6.5 feet or 78 inches not 6 foot..
interior has nothing new compared to my 04 V8 Limited 4runner. Glad Toyota decided to keep it consistent hahaha
