- 2021 Toyota Tundra Long Term Review -- Wait for the 2022?
The Tundra is the oldest full size pickup truck in the highly competitive market having first been released for the 2007 model year. With Ram, Ford and GM having recently released new models, is the Tundra still worth considering? With a new model coming for 2022, it might be worth waiting. However, there are some significant advantages to this older model that many buyers will prefer. Take a look at the pros and cons of this Platinum model to see if it's still worth considering in 2021. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Wow how do you do ti the cost on the Toyota tundra is around 60k. To buy a new Every 3 or 5 years how do you do ti in today Economy Toyota my be reliable put the cost and part and Service Is it cheap.
The high resale value helps
Not to mention, alrdy having the equity going in
@Chris Drives, if diesel is available, would you swap motors for your Tundra/Sequoia?
@@tomcraig4843 I'd consider it if it was the same price and had the same acceleration
2020 SR5 4x4 Crewcab here. I've owned every other truck and ended up with the Tundra after the rest severely disappointed me. This "old" truck is still better than all the new ones.
The others have some nice things but it's just not worth it to me either.
Same here! Long time GM guy after early life disappoinment from dodge and ford(ive had some experience with them from a mechanics point of view up until a few years ago as well and so got to drive them and i wasnt impressed with the feel or reliability). I had gm trucks that did really well but were all pre 07. I dont want a truck that old. I like modern convenience. My 07 gmc and my 2014 2500hd both had major repairs (engine in one, trans in the other) before 150k miles with perfect maintenance. They also had nickel and dime repairs throughout the time i owned them to the tune of about 25k combined dollars in less than 300k miles of service life. I would routinely see pre o6 models go 250k plus miles without breaking the bank. Now i could have gotten 2 bad apples in a row but after that amount of money thrown at them i am throwing in the towel until GM fixes their known problems. This is what brought me to toyota. They may keep a truck around a while but they routinely update and solve known problems completely. They own up to their mistakes and fix them. GM did not do that for me. I also watched my dad with a 2001 tundra only have one 700 dollar repair in 20 years with his tundra! Of course there was regular wear parts maintenance but thats incredible in 225k miles! I recently bought a gently used 2019 Tundra limited. Its absolutely solid. It doesnt feel the need to shift going over every incline like my last 2 GM trucks did. It gets 3mpg better than my Gms did towing my lawncare trailer. The interior doesnt rattle. Overall very satisfied and wish id given them a chance earlier on.
Well I sold my 2015 Silverado and picked up a 21 Tundra platinum. I figured this is probably the last time you’ll be able to get a naturally aspirated, proven reliable engine that has the potential to last 300k miles.
I’m sure the 22 with the twin turbos will be nice at first. But theres no question, long term, high pressure engines require more maintenance, and wear out faster.
To me it’s not worth it. It’s just something they are pushing to bridge the gap between technology and save a few gallons of gas until they perfect electric ⚡️ vehicles or something else hydro etc.
I figure hopefully this V8 lasts me until they figure out all that stuff.
Great choice 👍 How are you liking it?
@@chrisdrives8204 so far so good
Toyota’s 4 and 6 cylinder engines regularly outlast American 8 cylinder engines,no reason to doubt them!!!!
Spot on!
Try 1 million miles. They are known to last that long with regular maintenance
Back in the early '70s I new a guy who had a Chev Biscayne with a 350 and it came with a two speed auto transmission. Just Drive and Low. It actually drove real nice. We've come a long way since then.
Don't forget the OTHER guys charge extra for winter mats, trailer brake modules, trailer hitches, under seat storage boxes, mud flaps and such. Great video - my second Tundra and my 7th Toyota.
I still have my 2008 SR5 TRD, 65,000 miles. I recently had my first major repair, a new alternator and battery. I have no plans to sell. It's a great truck.
Wow, low mileage for an alternator!
@@chrisdrives8204 The alternator was still working, but a diode in the regulator became leaky, and it would discharge the battery if the truck sat for a week or so. Low miles, but again 13 years old.
22 mpg, maybe being towed. Best I can get is 18 MPG at a flat 62 MPH. I had a Tundra 4.6L and could squeak 19.5 MPG but ultimately poor gas mileage is cheaper than replacing turbos and such. The Tundra is the best truck.
Try going 50-55
@@chrisdrives8204 55 MPH isn’t going to get me 22 MPG, maybe 18.3 MPG, maybe there’s something wrong with my Tundra.
My son in laws 2014 gets 14. ON A GOOD DAY just about all the time. That’s regular not racing it driving too. It truly is terrible by even 1990 throttle body terms. My old 2500 chevy got 10 running on 7 cyl s from a hard to change spark plug. When I fixed it it went 16-18 for a much more substantial truck running a throttle body no less. MPFI should be doing far better. Toyota really dropped the ball on that aspect unfortunately.
My only complaint about the Truck is she has a drinking problem! Absolutely love my 20 Trd Pro!
Trust me the turbos won't last very long and cost you an arm and a leg to replace wait until they come out with some other engine that lasts just as long as the v8 the v8 is obviously the best they could do up until this point from now on it's only downhill for the tundra until they come up with some better ideas with the new design when you look at it there just copying the other brands
Really great video man - I hope you keep at it!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Good honest informative review. I’m on my second tundra 2020. First was an 07. Very reliable. I tell friends if you’re looking for a new 1/2 ton truck every year or 2 get whatever you want. If you’re looking long term like myself 10 years or more the tundra is the best option. Also good point on the over priced used Tundras. Consumers need to do the math and look more closely at new.
Resale value is a big point too. A new Tundra won't cost a fortune in depreciation like some others. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Totally agreed
I paid $44K at the dealership for my brand new Tundra SR5 Double Cab in June 2021. Did I spend a lot?! Was it a bad deal? The reason I am asking is that I see people here spend around $34K for their new Tundras in past.
Nice video.. Thanks for your input and information. I have an 18 Tundra. Very happy with it. I 'm sure the new v6 twin turbo will be okay after getting used to it. I will defiantly be keeping my 18' Tundra as it is a naturally aspired v8 with a strong resale value that will continue to grow once the new 22' Tundra comes out.
I'm sure we'll all miss the sound of the v8 😐 Thanks for the feedback.
Great review!
Was going to get a PRO but it sold right before I got to the dealer. I picked up a 2021 blacked out TRD Sport instead, love the truck so far. I like the "dated" aspect of it, it feels like a solid truck. We were going to get a Tacoma but I felt the Tundra would be much happier with a travel trailer behind it. Nice review!
That's unfortunate, the TRD exhaust is amazing. The Tundra is much more comfortable for towing. Thanks for the feedback!
@@chrisdrives8204 i have had loud/aftermarket exhaust on every vehicle I've owned since I was 16. This is the first one I will leave stock, I appreciate the quietness of it. Especially when towing. Trd does sound good though
Still got my 2006 Tundra and majority maintenance of oil changes, breaks and tires. I just changed my radiator, Tstat, belt and radiator cap. Still going strong after almost 16 years. Also still drives the same from the first day I bought it. Tundras can go forever.
Awesome, how many miles?
@@chrisdrives8204 158k miles. No drop off of power in almost 16 years and I hauled 2 yards of wet soil in it with ease two weeks ago. Crazy durable.
You definitely deserve subscribers you did good
Thank you, I appreciate it
Good review just purchased a 2021 TRD PRO, my fifth Tundra.
Nice choice! How do you like the exhaust compared to stock?
@@chrisdrives8204 the exhaust is awesome compared to stock
I've never heard one in person but prefer a little more growl than the stock
I love mine I bought a 2021 tundra sr5 trd
You put alot of miles on your tucks ? Why have you had 5? Sounds like alot of sales tax to me
I bought a 2020 SR 4x4 and love it. Won't buy anything else. Fast, strong and dependable.
Congrats...I'm sure it will give you many years of worry free ownership
I just found out that toyota remove the transmission cooler. This should make your thinking of toyota reliability go south...
I want the platinum trim
I have a 2020 limited and I like it a lot. But as far as my use sometimes I wish I could buy a truck like my first. It was a 1976 dodge power wagon with a 318 engine, auto trans and cost me $3600.00 new, nothing fancy. As for me I like a truck that feels like a truck. So many of the accessories today you could do without and not have to spend from 50 to 70k.
Just bought a 2021 SR5 4x4 two days ago. Had a 09 Silverado 4x4 that I bought new. The first year had lots of problems. They had to rebuild the engine. At 100k miles the rear end was going our. Traded for a 2016 4 Runner Limited. Loved the vehicle, no problems at all. Took it in for a oil change and was looking around and they just got the Tundra in. Hasn’t even been inspected yet. We started talking and I received almost what I paid for the 4 Runner so I bought it.
Both Toyotas are great vehicles 👍
I have a 2020 ram 1500 rebel I love the truck a lot and it’s been a good experience to drive it everywhere and off road. But for some reason I just love the look of the 2021 trd pro tundra
Great information and great deatils .
Thank you for the feedback 👍
Adding a sway bar in the rear reduces leaning in turns and improves stability while towing. It’s $250. Love the adjustable headlights too.
I've thought about that but also heard it makes the ride rougher. Do you have one?
@@chrisdrives8204 I do. The Tundra is such a heavy truck that I think it actually improves the ride. It’s not permanent, and can be removed in about 30 minutes if you’re planning on taking the truck off road.
Sir, I agree with CPT. I have place the rear and front TRD sway bar. I does improve stability when driving around. But I don’t take my off roading so that is why a place them both.
I have the 2020 TRD Sport Premium (Canada Ltd edition). I have no body roll in turn, I love it
I have a 2001 Toyota tundra sr5 which has 540,000 miles. It’s been a very reliable and fun to drive truck.
Wow, any issues?
@@chrisdrives8204 I had to rebuild the transmission at 400,000 miles and the fuel pump at 350,000 miles and some other wear and tear items that I expected like the radiator(cracked). This truck still maintain great power, however I did have to replace the break vacuum booster 2 times.
Traded in a 2018 Taco for a blacked out 2021 Tundra SR5 SX doublecab and love it. Never getting rid of this beast.
Nice upgrade!
Nice review. I currently have a 2016 Limited DC w/TRD package and am currently considering replacing with a 2021 Limited DC almost identically equipped vehicle. Love my current truck and still in new condition with ~ 66k miles. I have a new one on-hold. I feel this last gen model will be most valuable years from now, and at least give me 5 years more time than my current one. What differences did you notice between your 2015 and 2021? Driveability etc. and why did you upgrade? Any comparison info appreciated. Thanks!
I didn't notice anything other than the cosmetics and I like to think I would notice any changes! The reason for upgrading was just that the 2015 was getting a little beat up.
Nice job sir!! Well done!!
Thanks for the feedback 😀
That is a really nice summary. I agree with your conclusion.
Thanks for your feedback
I have had my tundra since 2007 with 245,000 miles, I have had two issue one air modulator went out year eight. Now my four wheel drive just went out. Would not change it for the world. I am buying the 2022 but am keeping my 2007 also.
How expensive a fix was it?
AWESOME just purchased 2021 TRD Pro lunar Rock absolutely love it if you're worrying about gas mileage Tundra is not the truck for you
Nice truck 👍 How do you like the exhaust?
Great truck!
You in Naples, Florida? I grew up there!
Maybe it’s a different part of the state I’m seeing here lol
Just got my 2019 Tundra TRD Pro!
Got it in black with some hints of red with the badging, center caps, and interior trim👌
Yes! Good eye 😀
Good review, love my 21 crewmax, only with I had more payload.
Yeah, I suppose it's on the lower end of half ton trucks but I think Toyota is conservative when it comes to their capacities. Thanks for watching.
Love my ‘18 SR5 TRD Off-road Crewmax Tundra. I have friends that drive Ford Raptor and Dodge Ram that bragged about how good their trucks are. But at least they be staring at my Tundra like crazy...😂... Gotta love the Tundra...
Nice rig 👍
Sounds amazing. My RAM hasn’t had any problems yet, but they can’t be too far down the road. You’re making me want to trade it in for a Tundra for SURE
I bought 2018 tundra limited! My tundra came with dual Trd exhaust ! My 3rd tundra! Best truck ever! Can’t see myself driving any other trucks!
Awesome! How do you like the exhaust?
@@chrisdrives8204 very nice! Not annoying!
I just bought a 2007 with 213032 miles on it. Was I concerned about the mileage.....not in the least. You are buying one of the most dependable vehicles ever made so I didn't worry at all........love my Tundra Crewmax
Cool!! thats identical to my 2018
We made the move away from Ford earlier this year. We have two F250's and one F150 and simply needed something more reliable. We purchased a 2018 Tundra SR5 dual cab and love it. It has more than enough power to pull our trailers, it is comfortable, and hopefully will be a very reliable truck. P.S. It's nice seeing some familiar roads in your review!
👋 I'm sure you'll have much better luck with the Toyota!
Hello Chris (or others who may know) - Do you know if Toyota finally fixed the cam tower leak issue? Did they change the RTV sealant used or start using gaskets? If so, what year was it fixed? Thx.
I believe it was fixed a few years back although I didn't follow the issue so I'm not too sure.
@@chrisdrives8204 Thanks. I read of people still complaining of the issue on 2018/2019 models. Surprised if Toyota continued to ignore the issue.

Hey Chris, thanks for all the great Tundra reviews. I'm in the market for 2013-2016 Tundra right now. Do you think the ones that has over 200K mileage is still worth looking into?
Only if it's a great deal. If it were me I'd probably look for something a little older with less miles if there are any.
@@chrisdrives8204 Thanks Chris. Sounds like I should aim for 2010-2016 Tundra around 150K miles?
That's what I would do. I'd try to get the newest and lowest mileage I could.
Greeeeat vid and very informative, I just bought an '18 Limited w/63,xxx on the odo; yes, it rarely sat still but what sold it for me was the consistent maintenance and the miles were about 90% highway, heck I consider it still brand new!🙂👍
Congratulations on the purchase. It is pretty much brand new and it will last forever if you change the fluids.
@@chrisdrives8204 I plan on it, although I was a bit reluctant on buying it to begin with from hearing stories about the mpg's. After calculating, my fill-ups increased on average about 8-10 bucks from my previous vehicle, REALLY not a big deal when I look at the crap I actually waste money on. Besides, the trade off is reliability, longevity, and resale 🙂
It's not even that bad for me. I've rented ram and Chevy equivalents and the mileage is always about the same.
@@chrisdrives8204 yep, pretty much 🙂👍
I have a TRD Sport premium (Ltd Canadian edition). I love it. I have no interest in a v6 twin turbos ... in 5 to 7 years I will look closely to the hybrid version , hope it will be plug-in ...
It'll be interesting to see what they come out with 🤔
I have 2008 Tundra extended cab, 4.0 six cyl, the best truck, I have since I bought it, never breaks down, very useful truck, I finish my 800 sqft extension using just my truck for hauling. My truck looks like a construction truck with ladder rack. I urge everyone to check on Tundra.
Rare engine the V6
Remote start over key fob is standard on platinum. Just Google how to that it is three clicks with holding lock button at the end.
Doesn't work on this one
Love my 2020 trd sport
I can’t wait to buy one of these used in a several years.
Hopefully prices come down for you!
You drove right by the elementary school I went to. I have a 21 tundra 1794 and love it. This might be due to the GM 5.3 lifter problems that has haunted me for 2.5 years. I will never deviate from tundra again.
I like this truck and the LEGENDARY V8
Me too 👍 Thanks for watching
My 2020 Tacoma SR 2.7l 4cyl was about 17mpg avg
Stunning beast tundra ever
💯 👍
On my 2nd Tundra! Had a 2016 SR5 now have a 2021 Platinum Tundra! Loved both of them and never and issues!
Lol, this is exactly me. Just traded in my 2015 SR5 for a 1794 Tundra last month.
Those 1794s are cool too 😎 I wanted the 2021 TRD Pro but the 2 that came to my local dealer were sold before they got there. So I grabbed the last Brand New 2021 Platinum they had just got with 18 miles on it!
@@isaiahparks5628 I was just looking for any dealer willing to do MSRP on either the Platinum or 1794 and took me almost a month of looking. 20 miles on my when I bought it. :)
Mine unfortunately was marked up 4 almost 5 k 😕 but still very happy with my purchase 🤙
Nice truck! Maybe you need a TRD exhaust?
I'm tundra shopping as we speak. I love my Tacoma, despite all my homework in buying a lightweight travel trailer, I feel the mountain hills will destroy the transmission in my otherwise bulletproof pickup. Great video, doesn't change my thoughts on buying a tundra. Thanx much!
Tough time to be searching for a truck 😬 How much does your trailer weigh?
@@chrisdrives8204 3300 dry. A 21 coachmen clipper 17fq. Nothing fancy.
The Tacoma is surprisingly capable! I've never towed with one but they're so much more car like for everyday driving (but also small if you're a big person)
@@chrisdrives8204 I know. I didn't have a tow pkg when I bought it and added all the necessary stuff. But I'm still paranoid. Our favorite spot is a 6k elevation climb and o just think too many trips over the hill will mean a new transmission. Yes I could regear the rear end to a 5.29 but still no guarantee I won't damage something. I love my truck tho, 06 prerunner with 235k miles on it.
I just dumped my 2019 Raptor due to cam phaser rattle. Bought a 2021 1794 Trd off road.
I have spent a lot of time driving up in the smoky mountains. I really like the truck the reliability is an awesome piece of mind when I start it and know Im staring down a ten hour drive Up to the mountains.
Great choice 👍
I have 2015 tundra sr5 and want to trade in but hate that i don’t have key anymore. I love the old turning keys.
You might like it. It's more convenient.
Get a SR, it will have a key.
My 2020 SR5 has a key. No push button.
My dads 2021 sr5 cement trail edition has a regular turn key
Are you driving around in Naples fl in this video?
Yup 😎 🌴
Fort myers is my home town, knew I recognized it lol
I’m driving a no frills ‘17 Tundra SR5 with a 4.6L. Thats plenty of power for my needs and I won’t go back to Ford or GM products. My Tundra is great and the only thing I added was the Toyota TRD Dual exhaust that uses the Borla pipes.
How do you like the exhaust? What do you mean by the TRD exhaust using Borla pipes?
My 2021 Tundra is arriving this week. I bought it to purposely avoid the first Generation of the turbo V6. I hope Toyota has it all figured out. But im not gonna be in the test group.
Congrats! Hard to go wrong with the old gen.
This is exactly the reason I got my new Tundra in 2021 not waiting for a newer V6 model. And from what I can see now we were absolutely correct as new owners are not quite happy with new Tundra. Lots of issues and gas mileage is not so attractive for many of them. And to tell you the truth the old one looks much better from any angle
Never own a truck, but is it common/normal for a truck to speed up very slowly when you are stopping at a red light? The Tundra seems slow in response to the gas peddle.
If you put your foot down it's just as fast as most cars
6 speed trans is one of the main reasons that I bought a 2020 Tundra over a Ram for which I could of had an employee discount btw
You don't want an 8 or 10 speed?
My #1 complaint is no CD player. I love my 2021SR5. Crew Cab
Our 2012 SR5 Crew Cab had a CD player.
my 2007 Toyota tundra limited is probably the best absolute best most reliable vehicle I have ever owned I currently have 427 thousand miles on nothing but oil changes every 5000 miles I've never even had the vehicle tuned up or change the plugs at idle so quietly people off and walk out in front of my vehicle not knowing I'm coming best truck on the planet.
That's great 👍
Kind of hard to believe you haven’t changed the plugs. Just saying but I’ll take your word for it. They must be Iridium plugs.
bought the SR5 21 CREWMAX. back seat is a hotel. you don’t buy a truck for fuel efficiency. 5.5 foot box is sufficient. just upgrade to a 12” woofer smd good to go. love my tundy.
I think I'd buy one if they added stock duel exhaust and changed the dated interior.
You can get the TRD dual exhaust added on at the dealer for a reasonable price
If you want the fancier interior go buy a fully loaded SUV.
I love my 2020 tundra limited.
Nice rig 👍
Why wait for a v6 .V8 only
I wouldn't wait for a v6
I have found that the 8-speed auto has trouble figuring out which gear it should be in. The 6-speed does this too, to a lesser degree.
I've noticed that in the rx350 with the 8 speed. Very annoying IMO and many other 8 and 10 speed vehicles don't drive like that.
I’ve got one in my 18 Camry. They do learn to some extent so most aren’t so bad after a couple weeks. A few hate it most get used to it. For me it’s no big deal and mine hasn’t been flashed.
Anyone experienced engine spark knock? I had the issue since around 3000 miles and dealer, factory said its normal....its a BS.
Five years and 80,000 miles is not a long term ownership for a Toyota. The Tundra is known for easily exceeding 200,000 miles with only routine maintenance. It is the most reliable full size truck in the world!
When I get to 1M then I'll make another one...but 80k is long term compared to other trucks
@@chrisdrives8204 considering I know lots of people who have had big problems with other full-size half tons new off the lot I’d agree 80,000 miles for most trucks is much more than on a Tundra. I’d like to hear your experiences at around 125,000 miles! That’s when my warranty expires on both my Toyota’s.
Most every Ford, Chevy and Dodge will do that with no major problems.
The powertrain in the 2022 looks to be a huge improvement over the previous generation's V8.
The power will be nice but I think they should still offer the v8
Would live with the older gen media and looks to get the reliable proven V8.
I’m thinking buy 2021 or wait 2022 ? Please give me answer.
If you watch the video you'll find out
I would love a single cab Tundra with 4.7 and 10 speed transmission.
Don’t need new design just keep it reliable rather buy one that has low horsepower and torque And keep the 8 foot bed
Agreed!!!
I have a 2020 TRD OFF ROAD. I DO not want a turbo engine. I had a Tacoma but towing our RV was tough with the Tacoma. The V8 is way better. The value retention of Toyota trucks is outstanding. I will.never own a GM/FORD/ RAM. I had GM and Ford and it is junk. The Tundra I got came with a locking tailgate and you can remote start it with the FOB.
Yeah, the Tacoma is pretty small to tow anything of actual size. Toyota quality is amazing and it's evident even when comparing it to other brand new trucks.
V8 engines are not the best on the market today for towing.....di your research
@@jasonbrushett3 who said v8 engines are THE BEST for towing? Try reading.
@@jasonsanders8623 you said the v8 was way better
I bought 2018 5.7, they should made it with eco mode, we don't need all the power all the time, the MPG is pain in the ass
Thats' what I wanted to hear.
Dodge do nothing but break and the dealer says there’s nothing wrong with it getting an tundra next truck
Gonna wait for the 2022. Hope it turns out what I expected, else I get a good deal on 2021 later this year.
Hopefully you'll be able to get one. If the 2022 is a disappointment I think the 2021's are going to be even more expensive than they are now 😬
You want to wait until 2023 model year for all the kinks to be sorted. Buying a first year model of a new platform is not wise even if it is a Toyota.
@@kisong1960 i sort of agree although my first year fj cruiser has been great. toyota has and does take the time to test extensively. that said i just bought a 2021 tundra we:ll see
@@chrisdrives8204 exactly
Oh I see your the kind of guy that when everything goes out of warranty you trade it in on a new one 😂😂😂 wish I could do that man
The resale value helps
Just a minor correction. At 2:07 of the video, you stated the Tundra only comes with a 5.7 liter V-8. There is also a 4.6 liter V-8. I have the smaller V-8; still rock solid reliable.
It was dropped for 2020...I should've clarified. Thanks for watching.
Nope, they no long offer the small v8.
I have to say , I still love my 21 sr5
It's a great truck 👍
The video quality was very good and easy to see however your view of what a good "truck" should be or have, is 180 degrees from my view.
Thanks for the feedback. What's your view of a good truck?
We had an ‘07 and ‘12 and both were good trucks to us-great in fact. Hauled amps and lots of heavy band gear and pulled a camper too. We love ours. Trading our ‘12 in this week to get a ‘21, and grab the last of the V8s. For a 1/2 ton it’s been fantastic. Husband says it’s so comfortable he feels like he’s driving his sofa.
50k for a platinum? Where are you buying your trucks? My ‘15 limited retailed well over 60k new.
Still worth every penny.
Wow, I'd like to see that sticker
My loaded out 2015 1794 stickered at 52k
This is an excellent truck. It does everything the Lariat can do for $10,000 less!
A great value for sure
And will sell for $10,000 more when you're done with it.
Lol I have a GMC and would have it at the shop if they could fix it.
I know I need to buy a Toyota.
I think it is what I’m looking for. I need to do something other then gm products.
I have got a new truck every 6 months to a year 5 trucks later I have this feeling in my gut that I will not recover from another gm truck.
People often say "if you don't keep it for a long time, who cares if it's reliable?" Because if you have constant issues and the dealer says "it's normal" "could not duplicate" or "can't fix it" the truck isn't fun to own. In fact, it's a chore to own and is probably costing you money.
@@chrisdrives8204 It’s dumb to offer up your valuable time sitting in a dealer repair shop. The headache, time, scheduling, car rentals are NOT worth it for an unreliable ride. Long live the Tundra!
Is this Jerry Rig Everything's brother?
😂 No, sorry
i love my 2021 toyota tundra .except dissatisfied to learn toyota removed the transmission cooler
Damn near rear ended that UPS truck!
Why they didn't make it diesel?
The new one will have a power curve that more closely resembles a diesel!
Well after 265,000 miles on my 2008 with no issues and it still drives as it did new, it is hard for me to justify spending $50,000 on a new truck. I will keep my 2008 4x4 DC 5.7L and save the money.
I don't blame you
You never know how well a truck holds up until you have it for 300k….
I'll make another video in 30 years
60,000 and 80,000 miles with no problems? That’s not very many miles for a work truck anymore. I’ve seen other videos by a certified Toyota technician that gives out some major issues for the Tundras that are very expensive fixes. But I do believe they are better than Dodge and Chevy.
It's not but I wanted to share the experience of owning for that many miles so it can be compared to someone else who has owned a Ford or Chevy for that long
No V6 With Twin Turbos Will Give Significant MPG Gains And More Gears More Maintenance/Failure Nor Will It Last Even If Perfectly Maintained Past 75k-100k miles. I'll wait a few years and stick with my 2018 5.7L 6Spd
I agree. It doesn't matter what displacement is putting out 400 horsepower, the mileage will be similar.
It's also built with a 4.7L. V8
That was discontinued years ago
I plan on seeing how cheap the hybrid goes. If it’s too pricey, V8 time. Turbos are for racecars and bigger trucks, not tundras. I simply wouldn’t trust the TT V6
Hopefully they continue offering a v8
I love everything about my 2019 Platinum except for the garbage JBL stereo
I got used to it 🤷♂️
I think it’s on par for a 50k truck. Not sure what people expect??
I have a ‘21 Limited and I agree with the JBL stereo. I have a 2010 Corolla LE that has a better sounding stereo in it. It’s okay and will do but I expected more with the name.
At least if you buy a Tundra 07-21 it will drive past 60-70k, always. Best 34K I have ever spent on my 07 Tundra 5.7 4x4 (282k). Worth every penny............built to last!!
Got to love the 5.7!
Its 38gallons tank not 36 :)
Whoops 😬
Toyotas reliability is second to none specifically because everything Is over built. Do that in a true half ton and that's the current tundra. Every part of the powertrain and every load bearing components is bigger and heavier duty than it needs to be. That translates to a heavier truck - which translates to worse mpg.
Now that Toyota is tackling the lightweight boosted truck approach im sure it will be the most reliable in that category, but I bet it will not be as rugged or reliable as the current gen tundras. The smaller differential as seen in the most recent spy shots pretty much guarantee that.
Interesting, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Thanks for sharing.
@@chrisdrives8204 I guess I should add I own three current gen Tundras I use to do remote auto repair. They all bare a constant load at around the intended payload. Every other current 1500 would break from the sort of load I put on these trucks.
I've accumulated 100,000s of miles across many tundras and have never had a single suspension component fail. Balljoints in chevy trucks are effectively maintainance items.
I have a 2007 tundra sr5......ran great untill 100.000 and 2017.....kept up on mantenance......in the last 4 yrs i have $12,000.00 in repairs....drive shaft, transmission, exhaust system, brakes, calipers, rotors. brake lines ect......maybe I got a lemon.....but after 10 yrs and only 100,000 miles this truck is junk....Iguess this year it will be the rear end that goes or the motor. I only had 2 other trucks in my life both chevys....both lasted 20 plus yrs with very minor problems.....rust got them both.....my Tundra still looks brand new....every spring i must clean my calipers or they will seize up by the fall and they are not cheap to replace after your rotors are warped......these trucks are for people that can afford to get a new one every 5 yrs 50,000 miles.....not me
That's the first time I've heard of something like this. Usually they're very easy to maintain.
@@chrisdrives8204 like i said i must have got a one in a million lemon......this truck has never been on an unpaved road.....it has never towed anything or had anymore than 50lbs in the box.....i dont use the 4 wheel drive but run it on high and low once every two weeks approx.....right now its leaking brake fluid from the bleeder value....always something, every couple months something new.....well off to get some brake fluid.....getting so pissed might just crazy glue the valve LOL
Owed a 2008 - No major maintenance cost till 90,000 miles.
What happened at 90k?
@@chrisdrives8204 First time complete brakes, 4 new tires, timing belt & water pump, oil change & basic tune up - I think plugs. $4,700 @ Sullivan Tire - 2013 I think. I can imagine today.
Must've been a 4.7?
@@chrisdrives8204 Yes - 284 Cubic inch V8 - Do believe standard engine in the basic Tundra. Truck made me tired on long trips, but was reliable. I bet if I kept it and drove a smaller economical auto I would still have it. I purchased a Subaru Forester - Much better mileage and tremendously comfortable on long trips. Surprised me.
