I have a 23' and i do get some rattle noise when going over bumps. Other than that, i enjoy getting in it everyday and just going! I owned 2, 5.7s in the past and i feel just as confident with this new power train as i did those. Plus, the added benefit of more power and better mpg. The new gen Tundra is a solid truck that will make anyone happy if they just give it a chance. Good review fellas!
I just got mine 2 months ago and I love it as well!! I wouldn't trade it for any other truck tbh... I keep looking and still nothing has made me regret my purchase. I actually came from a Camaro and the Tundra has plenty of power to where I don't miss it one bit.
Drive one, you’ll like it. Better in every way. Actually, do what I did and drive the last generation before you test drive the new one. That’s all it’ll take.
@Pieate….. Also, I think the EPA successfully strangled the half ton trucks with the boa constrictor-like ever tightening environmental requirements. Their tests favor turbos for emission so turbos are taking over. The only positive example I see in this segment is the GM 3.0 L Duramax diesel. Yes it has a potential flaw with the location of the belt but otherwise looks like a great engine. Other than that, the half ton field is dead for me. If I want a good dependable engine then it’s Heavy Duty trucks. Ford, GM, Cummins.
@is6566 My dad used to say if you want a real truck anymore, the 3/4 ton and up is the way to go. But I know people that are having problems with them all brands . Thanks to the EPA with the 💩they dream up.
@@josefgerken4002so they will pick the last gen, right? Awesome v8, way better built, better turning radius, half the price but will outlast a new one, more back seat room and larger rear door opening.
Great video! Couple things I caught though, the engine is really a 3,445 cc so 3.4 not 3.5 even though that's really minor. Also the Hurricane engine replacing the 1/2 ton RAM hemi is a straight 6 TT not a V6.
V8’s will disappear in half ton trucks period. CAFE and emission standards have mandated this. V8 engines can’t meet the standards. GM will eventually have to eliminate their V8’s as well. So haters stop crying! Manufacturers aren’t trying to kill your fun. They are obliged to meet the standards. Turbocharged small displacement engines will meet the standards. Will they last as long? The jury is still out. Toyota certainly is able to build a turbocharged engine that will last. Turbocharged diesel’s go a million miles! When there’s change there’s always haters!
@@rich7447 We have 12 or more in the fleet. One that guys in waste water drive had a repair bill of $13k from Victoria Star in Kitchener. The worst vans ever made. My coworker has same van...we both agreed that each year one to 3 weeks in the shop
@@mikefoehr235 That's not a good track record. They are small displacement engines for the size of the vehicle, so durability would always be a concern for me. Is that Kitchener Ontario? I haven't been there since the early 90s.
Would have no problem with the Tundra if they gave us the stellar Toyota Torsen center diff so we could run 4Auto (and even low range unlocked center - no binding!), and gave the Hybrid some generator capability. With those I can live with the low value and other basic trimmings.
I don’t believe any twin turbo v6 is going to last as long as the big v8 engines that came before. That little v6 is running hard to get that performance. My 2007 v8 is not working hard even with a load on it. I hope I’m wrong and they can run for 15 or 20 years, but we’ll see what the years have to say.
I bought a 22 tundra and the bed was a little slippery. After hauling and shoveling a few yards of mulch and a few yards of loam the shine and slipperiness is pretty much gone! Great video! Thanks, Lauren C. From Ma.
It's a bummer but I dont think a big deal at all. I suspect the vast majority of owners will never need to use them. For the rest, I'm sure modifications can make it happen.
I haven’t had front tow hooks on my 2017 Ram. I could buy them and put them on. But in all my years of hunting and camping I haven’t needed them - so I save my money instead.
@@Lq32332 I have never had a truck where I didn't use my front tow hooks. They are extremely useful for recovering other vehicles from ditches and snow banks.
Before the new Tundra came out, I was all in. When they announced the prices, I fell out. The price increase was a lot more than I expected, so instead of a new Tundra, I bought another 1 year old F-150. I'm still considering the Tundra, but it will most likely have to be a used one to fit into my price range.
Rear coils don't belong on anything but a pre-runner as far as trucks are concerned. I also can't take Toyota seriously as far as pickups are concerned when they don't offer anything over 8,500 lbs GVWR. Half tons have become play vehicles and the people who work their trucks have moved to class 2b and class 3 (or higher).
Toyota decided awhile ago that they don't want to make a 2500 class truck and up -- they could, they own Hino, but they don't feel it's worth the investment I suspect. Had they convinced CAT to make them a diesel, you'd probably see a 2500 and larger Tundra.
@@rich7447 I know they did. They tried to convince them when they were still in that business. And being completely honest, Americans in general don't buy non domestic half-ton trucks. The Big 3 put the majority of their product development money into trucks and it shows. Toyota spends their money on cars and small/midsize SUV's, as well as their hybrid system; that's what they're known for.
I think Toyota did a great job focusing in the most important aspects of an vehicle, the powertain. The 3.4 V6 has tons of low end torque and the 10 speed is very smooth. I think with time this will prove to be a very reliable powertrain. The lack of v8 is unfortunate but not surprising. However, I think they missed some important details found on the competition. The integrated bumpers, lack of tow hooks, no pro-power system on hybrid, and lack of integrated bed step are all misses.
Don't forget about transmission cooler. Toyota is following the in crowed . They would rather sell gadgets than quality. Any truck without a transmission cooler is a red flag. I don't car what the manufacturer's say.
@@PiratePete-te8qp None of the new trucks have a dedicated transmission cooler. GM/Ford 10 speed transmissions and Toyota all now use fluid heat exchangers. By heating the fluid from a cold start you get better shifts and higher mpgs, although I do agree and wish they would include a dedicated cooler for peace of mind when towing heavy.
People ALWAYS complain about new styling. The V6 TT with 10 speed makes more power, better MPG and feels better to drive. If I had to guess, I'd guess 95% of the complainers haven't driven one, the rest are the 'wait and see' on reliability crowd.
@@TonkaFire2019 You thought the engine and tranny were shit or just the roofline, seating, etc? I can't imagine that someone would prefer a 4.0 Taco (I had a 4.0 FJC and 4runner, same drivetrain) with the 5 speed auto over the 3.5 and 10 speed.
@Truck King because of you channel I will be looking at the Tundra, I like the style and the hauling capabilities of this unit. I am new to the truck market never owned one.
I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised how livable driving a 1/2 ton is day to day. Plenty maneuverable, very comfortable and so capable in city and highway driving. Plus the amazing versatility with hauling cargo and of course towing. Just prepare yourself with the sticker shock of fuel costs … which can’t be avoided with driving any truck. Worth the trade off for what they’re capable of.
Regardless of the recall, drive it till blows up then if it’s still running drive it through the fucking dealer window and tell them to fix it with a brand new engine and have a good day
My tundra is scheduled to be built next week…i can’t wait! After having a Ram with the hemi lifter tick, a silverado 2500 with oil consumption issues, and currently an expedition max with the terrible 10spd nightmares i’m glad to get into something i have confidence in its reliability even though it’s a newer platform…it’s still a Toyota
Plenty of videos on youtube showing faults with the Tundra , plus Toyota reliability went out the window years ago. Their petrol engines may be okay but their diesels have plenty of problems .
@@cwqrpportable I don’t understand your comment. On a per volume basis the vehicles with issues are lesser percentage with Toyota than a lot of other manufacturers. Toyota also uses just in time manufacturing so defects are fixed quicker.

I love my 2022 Tundra. Yes, 10 speed..not 8. My motor did blow at 32,00km. I bought mine brand new. No warning signs, just died on the road. Toyota put a brand new motor in, they paid for everything. No issues since. This happened in 2023..1 year after owning the tundra. I have the Limited crew max. It does haul amazing.

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 How so? I think it’s very competitive against ford and gm, and it shits all over ram lol. I wouldn’t touch a stellantis product with a 10 foot pole.
@@YerBoyTroy It has the least cab and bed space of any full-size truck. The "tech" is worse than every other full-size truck except traction control. Volume engine for volume engine it has more power than the GM trucks but less power than the F-150. It is the ONLY full-size truck to NOT have a V8 engine available. I JUST WANT THE TUNDRA TO BE BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION AT THINGS OTHER THAN RELIABILITY.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 what do you mean lol? You have an option to get the crew max which has a massive back seat, optional 6.5 foot bed if you need more bed space. I’ll admit the noise piping through the stereo is tacky but that’s only on the pro which no working man buys. I myself wish there was a v8 option but let’s face it the government and EPA are strangling the auto industry with this emissions bullshit. Stellantis has already killed their v8 production, gm is likely in the near future to pull the 5.3 and 6.2 which are already plagued with issues. Ford will probably be the only company that will still offer a v8. Either way the tundra is a great truck, nothing is perfect. If you want to drive a computer with wheels then buy a ford or ram. I like that toyota keeps the infotainment simple and practical.
Tundra is a safe conservative choice. If we look at it feature by feature it lags behind the competition. Drivetrain is solid, v8 aside. Looks are subjective.
When your Dad kicked it down i could hear how good it sounded for a v-6 and she was definitely pulling hard which i could also tell. All in all, i would say it's a hit with me.
Test drove the Tundra the other day. Looked good from far, but turned out to be far from good. The bad. 1. Plastic everywhere! The whole front end and bumper, the rocker panels, the rear bumper, the mirror. Felt very delicate. No way it would survive a jobsite or backcountry. 2. Interior felt nice, but for a $80k truck, no leather...... furthermore the seats felt really short, for and aft as well as height. The rear seats are only good for kids too. For a full size truck this is inexcusable. 3. There's also a tunnel still in the rear floor space. 4. Unreliable. JD Power rates these worse than any other full size truck. Issues with the turbo and electronics seem to plague far too many people on the forums and fb groups. 5. No premium sound in a $80k truck. Stereo was horrible. 6. Toyota dealers think its still the era of covid. Trying to get a bidding war between myself and another buyer. No thanks. The good. 1. That 3.4L TT makes great power. Felt smooth and transmission shifts were crisp. 2. The infotainment is the best out of any vehicle I've driven. 3. That steering wheel is one an F1 racer could love. Overall I think the Tundra is lot better than the old unit, but the bar wasn't very high. I ended up with a Silverado Trail Boss LT Duramax.
@@jza80king that's not true. And it's the upcoming ones that the 3UR doesn't meet without a rework (unless you're okay with a reduction in power output).
I honestly think the new Tundra will forever live in the shadows of the new Tacoma. It's a smaller engine, but folks will learn to live with that since the power is very decent and the hybrid engine will be out soon. The Tundra bed is small. The competition offers more options. Payload is mediocre. I'm curious to know what folks think.
You should speak to me. I own 2022 Tundra TRD Pro in ON, and the engine broke down on me twice. My truck is currently at Red Hill Toyota for 2 months now, saying they'd replace the entire engine. Horrible
I don't really care about the V6 hybrid itself, but do I care about long term reliability and turbos just aren't going to last that long. 100k, maybe 200k miles if really designed well and you don't push the truck hard. Not good. Also the suspension change is just dumb, making this is not a towing or hauling truck. Its cleary designed for the brodozers and grocery store runs , vehicles that never go off pavement or do hard work. But hey, that's what pickup trucks are now I guess, and Toyota will sell alot of them.
Too much annoying nanny tech and lethargic response from toyota with issues. At this rate maybe 4 years after a new model they will fix the issues identified right away.
Is there any chance Toyota might bring back the V8?Just started shopping for a new a new truck, the tundra was at the top of my list until I realized they dropped the V8 :(
Like Terra, but haven’t seen it in person so guessing pics don’t do it justice. SOLAR OCTANE ALL THE WAY BABY! Had the composite bed in my Tacoma and loved it.
A hit? Southern Alberta you rarely see one. For a long time you didnt see them on the lots.....now theres 6 to 10 on lot all the time. There's nothing amazing about them,nothing ground breaking. One day i may even look into buying one. Its a Toyota.....which is probably why it sells. Reliability....who knows The lack of tow hooks continually amazes me.
I was the previous owner of a 2011 & 2021 Second gen Tundra DC. I couldn't get over the smaller back seat, smaller bed dimension's, no tow hook, no rear bumper, ugly front end and too much plastic. I bought a 2024 Trail boss.
Still uglier than sin. The full side profile with the front end is ridiculously long and skinny and just plain ugly with those awkward angles. The previous tundra had a much shorter nose and looked far better. Also I don't believe the sales are all that strong. Toyota faithful will snap them up like they did the previous model, but they're not really taking any real sales away from the other brands. They're basically just holding their own with a little bump in sales because its fresh. I doubt sales will continue as this thing ages. Also Tim E did a video a few days ago on the problems of this truck, and its not pretty.
Hey guys i love urr reviews … can really say u are bias when tundras are that good, i have own 2000 tundra 2006 tundra, 2015 tundra, and now a 2023 tundra i got back in 2022…. My two cents in the 2023 is the lighting on inside the cab on short winter days the cab is very dark, the other mayor issue is getting on the truck bed… when have the tail gate up u can use the bumper, but when its down and u need to get up its to toe down cargo it is imposible te get on the bed older guys will look like kids in a jungle bars playground. I do construction for leaving so the truck bed gets used on a daily bases
Please let me know if u try getting into the truck with the tail gate down… usually i open the tail gate set the materials in the tail gate or just past the tail gate into the truck, the issue i have is when i try to get up to arrange and tight down the materials 😢
3.4tt main and rod bearings blowing engines, wind noise, window seals don't fit, seats squeak and seat plastic cracks, no tow hooks, endless recalls, cheap plastic interior, radio nobs breaking off, glitchy technology, annual subscription for remote start app that doesn't even work well, terrible bumper design with no step, horrible payload, rear sag with ANY weight, and the whole truck rattles.... Did I miss anything? Toyota tried to catch up in design and technology, but all they did was drop the one thing they had going for them, reliability. The quality of these trucks took a nose dive and Toyota is making no meaningful corrections. Almost every issue that existed in the 2022 still exists today in the 2024 Tundras coming off the lot. Even Toyota owners/fanboys are starting to acknowledge the problems with the 3rd Gen Tundras. I feel real bad for Tundra owners who paid $10k -$20k market adjustments when you can now get 2024s $5k-$10k under MSRP.
Omg, the leaf spring stuff kills me. I have had a ram with the multi-link and it's like I can care less if it's leaf spring or multi-link the ride is not that different. But now when you get down to towing I'll take the leaf springs all day.
That’s a 10 speed automatic not a 8 speed
Ugh. Dumb mistake. Thanks for catching it!
Unfortunately they cost so much that it makes more sense to keep my old 2014 tundra 4.6l, only 137k kms on it
just bought a 2024 sr5 L crew,for 6000$ less than mrsp...so 57000 whit all the standard equipments is not that expensive

Volume engine for volume engine it has more power than the GM trucks but less power than the F-150. It is the ONLY full-size truck to NOT have a V8 engine available.
I JUST WANT THE TUNDRA TO BE BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION AT THINGS OTHER THAN RELIABILITY.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 what do you mean lol? You have an option to get the crew max which has a massive back seat, optional 6.5 foot bed if you need more bed space. I’ll admit the noise piping through the stereo is tacky but that’s only on the pro which no working man buys. I myself wish there was a v8 option but let’s face it the government and EPA are strangling the auto industry with this emissions bullshit. Stellantis has already killed their v8 production, gm is likely in the near future to pull the 5.3 and 6.2 which are already plagued with issues. Ford will probably be the only company that will still offer a v8. Either way the tundra is a great truck, nothing is perfect. If you want to drive a computer with wheels then buy a ford or ram. I like that toyota keeps the infotainment simple and practical.
Tundra is a safe conservative choice. If we look at it feature by feature it lags behind the competition. Drivetrain is solid, v8 aside. Looks are subjective.
Great video. Hello from New Caledonia Kanaky
That color is beautiful
Right? Damn.
I guess I am the rare few that just goes 'Meh.' when looking at it.
I’m included, that front grill is hideous
I know the Pro-4X is no longer available in Canada, but you guys never did a video on that even back in 2020. Why?
Bring back the T100!!!!!!
When your Dad kicked it down i could hear how good it sounded for a v-6 and she was definitely pulling hard which i could also tell. All in all, i would say it's a hit with me.
Was it the pumped in audio you heard?
Tundra is assembled exclusively at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas (TMMTX) in San Antonio.
Test drove the Tundra the other day. Looked good from far, but turned out to be far from good.
The bad.
1. Plastic everywhere! The whole front end and bumper, the rocker panels, the rear bumper, the mirror. Felt very delicate. No way it would survive a jobsite or backcountry.
2. Interior felt nice, but for a $80k truck, no leather...... furthermore the seats felt really short, for and aft as well as height. The rear seats are only good for kids too. For a full size truck this is inexcusable.
3. There's also a tunnel still in the rear floor space.
4. Unreliable. JD Power rates these worse than any other full size truck. Issues with the turbo and electronics seem to plague far too many people on the forums and fb groups.
5. No premium sound in a $80k truck. Stereo was horrible.
6. Toyota dealers think its still the era of covid. Trying to get a bidding war between myself and another buyer. No thanks.
The good.
1. That 3.4L TT makes great power. Felt smooth and transmission shifts were crisp.
2. The infotainment is the best out of any vehicle I've driven.
3. That steering wheel is one an F1 racer could love.
Overall I think the Tundra is lot better than the old unit, but the bar wasn't very high. I ended up with a Silverado Trail Boss LT Duramax.
I love my 2023 tundra.
20-21
That redish color looks absolutely awesome. Way better than that orange thing before.
Does this vehicle require premium fuel?
No.
I wonder if Toyota has fixed the main bearing issue that I’ve seen here on CZcams?
tundra to expensive
I measure reliability in decades, not years! imo
I wish Toyota would've kept the 3URFE and just offered a 10 speed transmission to go with it. Might have helped it achieve better mpg.
Great engine
Wouldn't pass the new upcoming emissions while keeping its power without a redesign.
@@LoneWolfSparty the 3URFE doesn't have any more emissions than the V35A-FTS does.
@@jza80king that's not true. And it's the upcoming ones that the 3UR doesn't meet without a rework (unless you're okay with a reduction in power output).
@@LoneWolfSpartydo you have a source on this info? I've never heard any of this so I'm curious.
I have the same one and I am loving it
I’ll take a 2006 Toyota Tundra any day of the week.
That grill surround DEFINITELY needs to be in body color. Everything else looks so out of place.
I honestly think the new Tundra will forever live in the shadows of the new Tacoma. It's a smaller engine, but folks will learn to live with that since the power is very decent and the hybrid engine will be out soon. The Tundra bed is small. The competition offers more options. Payload is mediocre. I'm curious to know what folks think.
That’s really location dependent, I suppose. In rural areas, there’s lifestyle factors and social compulsion to get the full-size
Do you have any idea on what running boards that truck has on it?
I hope Toyota worked out the bugs but they have severe issues like engine failures at low mileage and plagued with electrical issues.
They had a .5% falure rate. Actually lower than other makes/models intro years.
total blah blah
I think the 2025 Ram 1500 will be a straight 6 twin turbo charged not a v6.
I love my 2023 Tundra but miss my 6 ft box will trade in for 2024
You should speak to me. I own 2022 Tundra TRD Pro in ON, and the engine broke down on me twice. My truck is currently at Red Hill Toyota for 2 months now, saying they'd replace the entire engine. Horrible
I don't really care about the V6 hybrid itself, but do I care about long term reliability and turbos just aren't going to last that long. 100k, maybe 200k miles if really designed well and you don't push the truck hard. Not good. Also the suspension change is just dumb, making this is not a towing or hauling truck. Its cleary designed for the brodozers and grocery store runs , vehicles that never go off pavement or do hard work. But hey, that's what pickup trucks are now I guess, and Toyota will sell alot of them.
Love the look. Love my truck
Actually, I bought mine with a factory lift and 35" tires off the lot. With bedliner sprayed bed, which is heavily textured.
There is no "factory lift." Maybe the dealer installed one.
mt 22 TRD Sport was problamatic, but ny 23 TRD OR has been fantastic so far. I love driving it every day.
125,000 to 195,000 IS a MASSIVE GAP. 😃
I like the colour. The blue is my favourite colour though
Too much annoying nanny tech and lethargic response from toyota with issues. At this rate maybe 4 years after a new model they will fix the issues identified right away.
Great video gents!
You can keep it, I'll stick with my v8 Tundra.
Need to make that hybrid available to all trims
Awesome Review
But don't like that Toyota doesn't offer non hybrid version on the pro
Keep it simple
That's the main ingredient
Is there any chance Toyota might bring back the V8?Just started shopping for a new a new truck, the tundra was at the top of my list until I realized they dropped the V8 :(
I'm curious about how it rides with its multi link rear suspension compared to trucks with leaf springs
Best looking truck out there. 🔥
Like Terra, but haven’t seen it in person so guessing pics don’t do it justice. SOLAR OCTANE ALL THE WAY BABY!
Had the composite bed in my Tacoma and loved it.
A hit?
Southern Alberta you rarely see one.
For a long time you didnt see them on the lots.....now theres 6 to 10 on lot all the time.
There's nothing amazing about them,nothing ground breaking.
One day i may even look into buying one.
Its a Toyota.....which is probably why it sells.
Reliability....who knows
The lack of tow hooks continually amazes me.
Are you saying it's worse not seeing them on the lots, or seeing too many of them on the lots? And does a truck need to be amazing or ground breaking?
@@ALMX5DP Well there is a video of a Toyota engineer at the model intro stating that the new Tundra will be ground breaking.
@@Sacapuntas69 and all marketing and advertisement should be taken literally?
Toyota just doesn't give a shit.
@@ALMX5DPI don't know about you but I would feel better if my reliable truck was also oustanding.
Great job man.
Rather have a v8. Doesn't this v6 do similar mpg as recent v8s? If its similar, then the change is moot.
We can all thank the gov for emmission constraints. V8s are soon to be a thing of the past.
I would be more interested in long term reliability! Time will tell. That is more important to me then the new model.
Be nice if toyota sent you sr5s or limted models...the ones most of us can afford lol
Any issues with the hybrid battery in the arctic?
It would look a lot better to me if it had the sequoia front grill
I was the previous owner of a 2011 & 2021 Second gen Tundra DC. I couldn't get over the smaller back seat, smaller bed dimension's, no tow hook, no rear bumper, ugly front end and too much plastic. I bought a 2024 Trail boss.
Meh....... more like a swing and a miss
Voodoo blue was my favorite or that tan one
Still uglier than sin. The full side profile with the front end is ridiculously long and skinny and just plain ugly with those awkward angles. The previous tundra had a much shorter nose and looked far better. Also I don't believe the sales are all that strong. Toyota faithful will snap them up like they did the previous model, but they're not really taking any real sales away from the other brands. They're basically just holding their own with a little bump in sales because its fresh. I doubt sales will continue as this thing ages. Also Tim E did a video a few days ago on the problems of this truck, and its not pretty.
I think the Ram will be an inline 6 not a V
It is ok looking but a Ford looks so much better.
This video aged like milk on a sunny day in Arizona.
Who is the best truck?
@Truck King any word on when you'll be driving the new ranger?
Next month.
Plywood is expensive.... cardboard...
I'm not a fan of the body. Everything else me like
I'll keep my 5.7L v8.
More payload, mpg and I would have bought for the quality and reliability.
Hey guys i love urr reviews … can really say u are bias when tundras are that good, i have own 2000 tundra 2006 tundra, 2015 tundra, and now a 2023 tundra i got back in 2022…. My two cents in the 2023 is the lighting on inside the cab on short winter days the cab is very dark, the other mayor issue is getting on the truck bed… when have the tail gate up u can use the bumper, but when its down and u need to get up its to toe down cargo it is imposible te get on the bed older guys will look like kids in a jungle bars playground. I do construction for leaving so the truck bed gets used on a daily bases
Please let me know if u try getting into the truck with the tail gate down… usually i open the tail gate set the materials in the tail gate or just past the tail gate into the truck, the issue i have is when i try to get up to arrange and tight down the materials 😢
Unreal
6 Banger…. No thanks
3.4tt main and rod bearings blowing engines, wind noise, window seals don't fit, seats squeak and seat plastic cracks, no tow hooks, endless recalls, cheap plastic interior, radio nobs breaking off, glitchy technology, annual subscription for remote start app that doesn't even work well, terrible bumper design with no step, horrible payload, rear sag with ANY weight, and the whole truck rattles.... Did I miss anything? Toyota tried to catch up in design and technology, but all they did was drop the one thing they had going for them, reliability. The quality of these trucks took a nose dive and Toyota is making no meaningful corrections. Almost every issue that existed in the 2022 still exists today in the 2024 Tundras coming off the lot. Even Toyota owners/fanboys are starting to acknowledge the problems with the 3rd Gen Tundras. I feel real bad for Tundra owners who paid $10k -$20k market adjustments when you can now get 2024s $5k-$10k under MSRP.
I want the TACO
Bring back a V8 Toyota! 4.6 modern V8 w/ 10 speed and 3.23 gears.
Meh. The new Tundra doesn't do anything better than the other brands. The sales just come from the people who think Toyota = reliable.
That Cavalry Blue is also on a RAV4 and Yaris🤣
Yeah it's a Toyota color
No backseat test.. That sucks!!
Omg, the leaf spring stuff kills me. I have had a ram with the multi-link and it's like I can care less if it's leaf spring or multi-link the ride is not that different. But now when you get down to towing I'll take the leaf springs all day.
With the correct coil spring weight, they tow and carry loads just fine. The Unimog is a 12 ton truck and it is coils all round.
No tow hooks and Toyota should increase the hp and tq. 389 hp and 479 ft lbs is not enough.
The hybrid model tested exceeds both those numbers by a long shot. You obviously didn't watch the video.
miss the sound brummmmm brummmmmm how old are you 4 or 5
