Yeah I watched the vid. Its like he made it just to senselessly complain about really stupid stuff that weren't really issues. I thought it was going to be about actual problems with the truck but it wasn't at all.
There is almost no room under the rear seats. I folded up a moving blanket and put it under the seat and could barely get it to go down. I agree with this complaint 100%. My tacoma had storage everywhere.
I agree with you these are petty and frankly, he could have identified these issues before he bought the truck. How does one purchase a vehicle and find out after the purchase that it doesn't come with Navigation or under the seat storage? When you consider how much you are paying for one of these vehicles, you should know exactly what your purchasing and all of the options before you sign the contract.
Dude. You got the model without Navigation and you're complaining about not having good GPS. Seriously? It doesn't have ANY GPS! You didn't get that option. All the other stuff in this video: Seriously? This video was basically about you dating an amazing and super cool supermodel, then complaining about this one pair of shoes that she owns. I liked your other Tundra videos, and I'm shopping for one right now. However, this video????
Your solution for issue 1: Diamondback Cover. As for the tire, I think that was just some bad luck, an anomaly. Not sure you can really blame the truck for your risky escapades. ;)
GMC has a nice storage under the back seat you flip up..i can see the complaint on this!!! i had a GMC...i wish tundra had that!! but i did just purchase a 18 tundra...
The navigation issue was due to the fact you wanted the truck with “no frills”. Toyota does offer a navigation system for the tundra. My 18 has it. Because I didn’t want to deal with what you’re talking about.

Hi Mike, just bought an '18 SR5 w/ off road pkg. For the storage, you'll find that you can fit more than you think under the rear seats. Fold them up and slide the stuff all the way back. I have jumper cables, tow straps, first aid kit, etc. You can also use the rear door storage for some stuff. I don't think the rear seat passengers need all that door storage. I agree about the tires. I got a nail in mine within 50 miles of driving off the lot. I think they're magnets for stuff. Good grip though.
Phil if you see this, I recently bought a 2018 Tundra, and the lack of underseat storage blew me away. I was driving a 2012 Silverado and it had lot more storage there. I keep a duffle bag of truck stuff, jumper cables, tow strap... as it is now it won't fit under my rear seat. My neighbor has a 2016 with a sweet storage unit under the rear seats, but it seems like Toyota just built some kind of box to fill the space, kinda weird.
Would you like a box of tissues? Wow! You can turn off the sensors & adaptive cruise control. The GPS on my 2018 Platinum doesnt run off my phone. If you want to offroad. Buy kevlar tires. If you want storage. Buy tool boxes, swing boxes or bed slide. This guy is a huge cry baby
Diymike, I've got a 2018 Tundra with 12K on it already and I can definitely sympathize with you on the lack of storage inside the vehicle. I ended up getting a bakflip tonneau cover with the pop n lock remote tail gate lock. As far as the PCS going off randomly, have you lowered the sensitivity? I think there's three settings to choose from in the menu. I only ask because mine has only gone off twice and only because I legitimately almost rear ended someone. Also, the TSS is pain to deal with if you're planning on lifting....and about $400 to recalibrate at the dealership (had to do this when I had the windshield replaced, insurance covered it though).
I have a 2014 with 75k miles. I drive a lot of highway. I get about 17.4 combined mpg (some city involved) but I average about 19.4 mpg when using cruise control and travelling 65mph. I changed my rear diff fluid and added a tonneau cover which seems to have helped with my mpg. Love my truck! Runs great, AND (maybe some of you know what I'm talking about), I kinda like that it has a bit of a diesel sound (people say the 5.7's valve train gives off that noise). Anyway, keep enjoying your Tundra!
The tires are not meant for offloading they are meant for gas milage as most people drive their trucks on the road. If you off road you need to get Kevlar reinforced tires. If you lift your truck, it's Gunna suck at toeing trailers.
Good, honest feedback about the Tundra and you mentioned stuff I wanted to know, but couldn't easily find. It's very helpful to know about the potential Safety Sensor issues when the truck is lifted.
I have a 2016 SR 5 TRD tundra. I love it. The storage place under the back seats are nice. I usually keep my seats up unless someone is riding back there. For the GPS issue I use a map... something I don't like is mine doesn't have a digital speedometer... but I still plan on driving it until the wheels falls off... or until they put the diesels in the Tundras
Kongmeng Vang he bought a truck that came with a set of tires. I'm his experience, the tires have a weak sidewall. He made a video of his experience of his first 10k miles, of course the tire issue is valid to mention
Kongmeng Vang definitely. For example the Tacoma TRD comes with some tough Kevlar tires. In a review you'd mention the benefits of a strong tire as you would the disadvantages of a weak tire
I own a 2007 tundra crew max, 3” lift, bfg ko2 tires and 350k km. No issues. None. It owes me nothing and takes me everywhere. I’d rather walk than drive a f150.
Thanks for the update. I took the plunge. I traded in my 2010 F-150 Supercrew Lariat today for the 2018 Tundra Platinum. No off-roading in mind but lots of highway ahead me. I agree with your storage issue. My 150 offered plenty of secreted storage below the rear bench. As far as the alerts,I experienced them twice today so this will be a learning curve for me. As a plus, this feature will be instrumental when I loan out the vehicle to family members, no doubt. Thanks very much for sharing....I'll post accordingly. Be well!
I have a 2018 1794.... lifted 5 inches. 36 inch tires. No lights came on for me. Hands down best gas trucks. My 3rd tundra. Sounds to me like people just need to stop crying. I did change that weak ass jbl stereo they put in. But I didn't bother whinning.... I fixed it. Get your ford and after 60k you will need new truck instead of a tire. Lmao
see Toyota fanboys like you are always trying to say shit about other truck companies like ford but everyone else knows that tundras are the second worst truck to get and the tundra can only beat the titan.
The only reason why the Tundra has a good resale value is that not a lot of them are sold compared to the F-150 and the Chevy Silverado. Durability, All trucks are good. Fords and Chevy trucks are more reliable because they can tow and haul more, they both have stronger frames, and you can expect them to get you to your destination with fewer pit stops for refueling. it still depends on how you drive your truck.
Hey Mike if you could go back would you recommend buying a Tacoma or a tundra ? I have a 2010 tacoma and I am really thinking about switching to a tundra! Just wanted some opinions , thanks
Have had two tundras now. My newer one has 84,000 miles on it with zero issues, and my 2011 had 120,000 whe I traded it in, it also never had a single issue. I’ve owned diesels and gassers of all makes and the tundra is by far the most superior vehicle I’ve owned when it comes zero maintaince issues go.
Toyota is not a tire company, Toyota is not a cell phone company. Put your complaints where it properly belongs, but I will help you with your storage complaint- Du-Ha backseat storage for your Tundra at Realtruck.com
mixflip I've got the 2013 Gen 2 Tundra. Love it no issues. Have amazing storage everywhere, and no mechanical issues. Sucks on gas is my only complaint. 13.5mpg.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Toyotas are built to last. I am still driving a first gen Tundra with 235,000 miles. I have not changed a single major part.
07 @ 245k miles & nothing in maintenance but brakes & struts. If course I could be in a 10 year old GM design with less power, worse economy, and 5X the maintenance costs...lol
What's the best pricing on one of these new and the best time to buy? I know they typically run 42-50k. Are they ever below 40? Referring to the Limited or Platinum.
@@shankyaj8616 pay attention>? to put smaller stuff.like straps etc..i love a storage space under back seats!! tundra should have built one for the crew max
Mike, I like your thoughts on the truck. I am on my third Tundra, now driving a 2018 Platinum. FYI I installed a 3"- 1" leveling kit and new 35" tires. No issues whatsoever. Have a great day.
I have had a flat tire from a branch in the road too. However, the tire was a Michelin street tire for an 2006 Mercury Milan. BTW the Milan is an excellent car and is still on the road. It still looks new. Just to note I always pick up screws, nails, etc. in parking lots, because you know its going to end up in someone's tire.
Reasons I bought a Ram 1500 SLT over a Tundra using your issues. 1. Storage - the ram has storage compartment under the rear seat. 2. Collision sensor - Don't have sensors on my Ram. Have tried a Ram with sensors and there is still no issue. I notice that this is a common annoyance with all toyota models. My brother's Camry makes all sorts of weird beeps and sounds with no clear indication. 3. When it comes to tires, you can't really blame anything on the truck. Change them for a set of good all terrains. My Ram came with Good Year Wranglers and they're really good. Even been on sand with it and they're good. 4. When it comes to lift kits and stuff, any truck will give you issues if not done or installed correctly. There are plenty of good options for the Tundra, but bear in mind that a good lift kit that works with the sensors, will not be cheap. For the Ram, there are plenty of kits. Some of them are not to my taste, but I do like the stuff from AEV. 5. Toyotas infotainment systems are seriously lacking. Even a high end Lexus isn't as good as a what is on a Chevy Malibu. Ram's Uconnect is what made me get it over any other truck. Didn't like the ones on Ford or Chevy either. The Uconnect is seriously as responsive as an iphone screen and easy to operate.
Nice feedback. I like cargo space under the seat. The gps map should be able to be downloaded. The brake warning should be an option by software to disable.
I couldn’t agree more with the storage issue! Toyota definitely either missed a design opportunity there or they are just simply too cheap to offer storage solutions underneath the rear seats. As for the GPS issue, you should have gone with a trim that offers entune premium with GPS. I think it’s unfair to call Toyota out when it was your decision to choose a lower trim. How about learning your route or get a Garmin before you go off-road?
With the storage they make stuff that will fit under the back seat and with ur GPS u can get a new head unit seem like most stuff ur saying wrong about the truck is little Petty things
oh my gosh your such a loving son and brother i watched the video when u bought your mother a house and founded the prefect puppy for your sister i was so moved for your love of family . your mother was right when she said u have a big heart thank u for sharing those moments. YOUR A SWEET HEART
My 2015 tundra sr5 with the trd offroad has been great. Mine came with the under seat storage, even though i bought a weather tech box. My gps system works fine and doesnt require a phone to run. You can't blame the tire as a mark against the tundra. I installed some BFG TKOs and its been fine. However I don't have the safety sense where the sensors go off and tell me to brake but i figured the newer models would have been better. I use my truck to tow and haul often and its been a great truck.
Peter Kim agreed. I have an extended cab F150 which has an upright bench in the back. Under it i have placed a road flare hazard kit, jumper cables, fire extinguisher, and not to mention the stock jack kit lol.
Agree with everything except the lifting part. After being on the tundras.com forum for sometime it looks like they had a batch of bad sensors. Many people had no lift, but had the issues from day one. Leveled my '18 SR5 and no issues with sensors. Many people on there have lifted their '18s with no issues.
I have a '17 limited. Left GM. For storage I own two of the "swing box" cases for the bed. They work great, I keep straps, hitch, breaker bar and lug wrench. The bed is short, but I didn't buy mine as a "work" truck, just a weekend hauler and to tow the boat.
The tire isn’t a Tundra issue . The sensor issue with the lift add on is also not a tundra issue. Recalibrated sensors would probably perform normal once lifted. Most “trucks” won’t come with additional storage bins but can be added. My last two tundras had zero storage bins double cab and a crewmax. I made my own custom. The proximity alarms are probably a bad sensor which would be a warranty item. You can always upgrade to a proper navigation system. Those app radios suck and I wouldn’t get one ever. I hope someday I’ll be back in a Tundra. I miss my Crewmax!!
I bought a 2017 Tundra crewmax 4x4 sr5 so I understand the storage issues. Either buy a truck box or you can buy an under seat storage box but it involves cutting carpet. I had a 2012 Tacoma so I was accustom to all the storage in that truck. Also I bought a 2017 knowing I didn’t want all the collision sensors in the 2018. What size ko2’s did you buy and please do a follow up video. Thanks. Also FYI I have had 3 oil leaks in my truck. Ended up being the upper oil pan but they replaced the rear main seal first then lower oil pan gasket then upper oil pan 2 weeks ago so we’ll see if it’s actually fixed.
A poor whiner . . . Is it true that a jacked up truck (lifted) is to make up not having a large ... Ford, Dodge and GM are lucky you're not buying American.
Just bought a brand new 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD 4x4 off road. It has a 6 inch lift on it with 35 inch tires and 20 inch fuel wheels. I have not had a single issue with any of the sensors, they all function great. The storage is lacking compared to other models, but that can be fixed with a tool box or decked storage system. As far as the tire goes, man come on, that can happen with any vehicle, at any time. Mine has a built in GPS with that does not run off my phone. Thanks for the videos.
I drive a Mercedes GLE has the same sensor issue, but it's basically recognised a yellow sign by the side of road a head of you when you are driving as an alert or something, i am sure it's not a problem. its' just AI sophistication issue.
People from up north refers them as cars which they are far from a car it's called a truck. I would never ever call a truck a car that's some snowbird stuff.
Tundra has a REAL V8 - larger displacement - LESS RPM's - LONGER LIFE. Them 2 turbos on the v6 Furds along with the Electrical/sensors are not a sustainable truck. PLUS turbos need replacing after 150,000 miles what a pile...
What a whining Tundra owner. Tires not a Tundra problem. Deactivate the collision sensor and use your own eyes and human senses. My god...buy a Ford next time.
@ Chriz Sea it's easily removable if you need the space. The Ram has that side box but it makes the bed unusable because it doesn't leave room for anything at all. No truck has a lot of space for tools unless you add accessories.
My 2017 Nissan Titan came with under the seat storage. Works great. I keep hitches, tow straps, tie down straps, etc. I am surprised Toyota does not have these storage compartments. Titans also have storage behind the back seats. This sounds like a downside for owning a Toyota. Maybe try aftermarket under seat storage.
No update on the Tundra til 2021 is what I heard. My 2012 crew max had storage under the rear seat. Main reason I traded mine for a 4runner is I couldn’t take the bouncy suspension on long drives, literally would make me car sick. They ever fix that?
So,I just found your page and it's crazy because I went from a 2017 Tacoma to a 2018 Tundra(crew max off-road) and I've had some of the same problems! Storage and the BRAKE warning have driven me nuts. Overall, it's the best vehicle I've ever owned and wouldn't trade it for a Ford,which I've owned several over the years.
HaSTe_CM the Titan is a better value if you don’t care much about the badge. Looks is either love or hate but the Titan pro is a great looking truck. Comes with bilstein shocks and struts, skid plate, leather seats and theirs an XD and cummins Diesel choice too, better off-road wheels and tires and a damn rear locker! with huge discount it’s easily on the high 30’s to mid 40’s Range depending on location. Nodding it to your likes is also much easier bs the new Tundra with the stupid sensors.
The titan is really growing on me, I always thought I would either buy an F150 or Ram but the titan is becoming a good choice for the price and warranty. I know people with tons of miles on their older titans with no mechanical issues. They all have quirks though.
Hi DIYMike, My 2018 SR5 came with a real nice removable box under the rear seat. Did you ever do your wheels? I changed my steel wheels to OEM Alloy. I’m having a lot of trouble getting the TPMS straight on the truck. Dealer sold me the wrong sensors. I found another post that had a part number and I ordered that on and it worked. Steel wheels use a 40 degree sensor with 7 digits in the code and the Alloy wheels use a 20 degree sensor with 7 digits. The sensors with 8 digits do not work with the 2018. Also the tire shop that put the wheels on just turned the sensors to make them fit. But shortly after I left the tire shop the sensors quit working. Also if you turn the sensors the next time the wheel comes off the installer will probably break the sensor. Another thing to consider if you upgrade your wheels.
This is why I didn't purchase a tundra. I drive 500 miles a week. So I bought a Corolla until I live closer to my job. Tacoma's are a great choice though. I've heard of some people having them for 400k+ miles.
I have a 2018 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax and I have to agree with the limited storage and pre-collision system. Storage is a joke...even the glove department is small. Not a lot of aftermarket storage devices. The collision system randomly goes off, which is annoying. It's kind of like the Amber Alerts on your phone...scares the $hit out of you when it goes off. Overall I am very happy with the truck and wouldn't buy anything else.
144 litre tank? How does that work for you? Makes the truck heavy. That is why I am debating whether to buy one or not. Here in Canada price of gas is 1.36 a litre. It would cost me $200 to fill up.
I just bought a 2018 Tundra SR5 Sport 4x4. It DOES has storage under the back seats and its own navigation system without me having to use my phone. I’m not sure what model you bought.
You should bought a ford 😂😂 I use to buy Toyota they are reliable and hold value a little better but I think America cars are getting better I noticed after are fall in economy in 2007-2008 looks like they are more reliable and better then Honda or Toyota that’s just my opinion now that I own only America made now ford Chrysler and Gmc so far they have been good to me 👍🏻
Ford continues to make cars in Mexico. The F150 in Ohio I believe. Having said that, Tundras are made in San Antonio, TX (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas). For certain, Toyotas have the highest resale value.
TideIsHigh89 if you specialize in throwing cinder blocks into your truck bed you should consider at least one of the following a.)getting bed liner, b.) Getting a towing platform to haul them rather than have them weigh down the truck bed and c.) Not throw the bricks like a bunch of numb nuts unless it's trash then review your opinions A and B.
TideIsHigh89 I have yet to see an Aluminum made F150 with a hole in its bed. Also, too much nonsense about paying 50K for a truck and not getting a bedliner that will protect your bed and costs just a few hundred
I haven't had any of these issues with my 2014 Tundra. I have a dedicated GPS, No T.S.S. system, My back seat provides plenty of storage with the aftermarket Husky under-seat storage box and I've never had a flat tire despite driving around old farm roads and logging roads all day. The only thing that annoyed me was the less-than-stellar coverage provided by the stock floor mats. I bought a set of spill-proof Husky Floor Liners and that problem has been solved. Seriously, those Husky Liners are awesome!
I have a 2010 Toyota tundra with 342 thousand miles mechanically I replaced the starter when it was 75.000 thousand miles. Other TV than that regular maintenance. Very powerful truck. I really loved.
I have a 2016 Tundra CrewMax TRD 4x4. Mine is very similarly equipped to yours. I agree the storage does suck inside the Cab. If you would of purchased the next higher package from yours, you would have gotten built in navigation. That’s something you did overlook and so did I. I still think the Tundra is an awesome truck. My biggest issue with the truck is the window/lock buttons don’t light up @ night

The tires are not meant for offloading they are meant for gas milage as most people drive their trucks on the road.
If you off road you need to get Kevlar reinforced tires.
If you lift your truck, it's Gunna suck at toeing trailers.
Good, honest feedback about the Tundra and you mentioned stuff I wanted to know, but couldn't easily find. It's very helpful to know about the potential Safety Sensor issues when the truck is lifted.

The tire wasn’t an issue of the tundra
Kongmeng Vang he bought a truck that came with a set of tires. I'm his experience, the tires have a weak sidewall. He made a video of his experience of his first 10k miles, of course the tire issue is valid to mention
Samuel Venegas issue with Toyota picking the tires but not an issue with the truck itself
Kongmeng Vang definitely. For example the Tacoma TRD comes with some tough Kevlar tires. In a review you'd mention the benefits of a strong tire as you would the disadvantages of a weak tire
What kind of tire?
Samuel Venegas not really most people don't need strong side wall tires. If you toe or put heavy loads in the trunk you'd need it.
I own a 2007 tundra crew max, 3” lift, bfg ko2 tires and 350k km. No issues. None. It owes me nothing and takes me everywhere. I’d rather walk than drive a f150.
Thanks for the update. I took the plunge. I traded in my 2010 F-150 Supercrew Lariat today for the 2018 Tundra Platinum. No off-roading in mind but lots of highway ahead me. I agree with your storage issue. My 150 offered plenty of secreted storage below the rear bench. As far as the alerts,I experienced them twice today so this will be a learning curve for me. As a plus, this feature will be instrumental when I loan out the vehicle to family members, no doubt. Thanks very much for sharing....I'll post accordingly. Be well!
I once had a spark plug in the sidewall of a sedan tire...sorry your not thrilled with your Toyota Tundra 😕😕😕
All you have to do is get your truck recalibrated when you lift your truck.
I have a 2018 1794.... lifted 5 inches. 36 inch tires. No lights came on for me. Hands down best gas trucks. My 3rd tundra. Sounds to me like people just need to stop crying. I did change that weak ass jbl stereo they put in. But I didn't bother whinning.... I fixed it. Get your ford and after 60k you will need new truck instead of a tire. Lmao
see Toyota fanboys like you are always trying to say shit about other truck companies like ford but everyone else knows that tundras are the second worst truck to get and the tundra can only beat the titan.
@shan chauhan. Im going to need to see some sources for that BS you are spewing
Matthew St. Onge
What category do you want me to talk about, I'll give you facts for that
Reliability, durability, Resell.
The only reason why the Tundra has a good resale value is that not a lot of them are sold compared to the F-150 and the Chevy Silverado. Durability, All trucks are good. Fords and Chevy trucks are more reliable because they can tow and haul more, they both have stronger frames, and you can expect them to get you to your destination with fewer pit stops for refueling. it still depends on how you drive your truck.
Hey Mike if you could go back would you recommend buying a Tacoma or a tundra ? I have a 2010 tacoma and I am really thinking about switching to a tundra! Just wanted some opinions , thanks
I just got mine. Thanks for all the great info.
A tool box????🤷♂️🤷♂️
Tool box might not fit in that 2 foot bed. Just get a big purse and carry it all in there.
And I thought you did your research prior to buying it...
Thanks for the update bro... you answered everything I was concerned about buying a ‘18 Tundra.
Good update Mike. Helps a guy who has been on the fence for awhile. Much appreciated.
Toyota doesn’t make Tires right?
Hahaha! Oh man.... this is hilarious
Hey Matt!! LOL funny seeing you here :P
Thanks for sharing, Mike ! I like all your videos ! great work ! THANKS !
I have a 2013 Platinum Tundra Crew Max and I love my truck. I have had (2) of your issues the sensors and tires other than that the truck is awesome.
The tires are not Toyota's issue. It's a tire mfg issue, and a lil bad luck.
taledarkside Toyota doesn’t make Tires. Now if Toyota makes tires it would be a different story.
+David K
He didn't say they make the tires.
He said they choose which tires they put on their trucks, and he's right.
The double cab has storage space underneath the back seats.
Have had two tundras now. My newer one has 84,000 miles on it with zero issues, and my 2011 had 120,000 whe I traded it in, it also never had a single issue. I’ve owned diesels and gassers of all makes and the tundra is by far the most superior vehicle I’ve owned when it comes zero maintaince issues go.
there was a recall on warning sensor, programming issue take it to any Toyota dealership they will fix it for free takes about an hour

Toyota is not a tire company, Toyota is not a cell phone company. Put your complaints where it properly belongs, but I will help you with your storage complaint- Du-Ha backseat storage for your Tundra at Realtruck.com
So, Toyota should buy some old ass used tires from the Mexican shop near the brothels? Why? Because they are not a tire company. That is a good excuse
the tundra comes with Michelin LTX Tires on the Off Road that he bought...decent tire, just shitty luck.
terrapin52 I've bought a lot of used tires from the local Mexican shop. 30$ a piece and never had a flat, blowout, or any other issue.
Another great video! ... you’re gonna love those BFG’s ... I’ve had them on my Tacoma ... sweet in snow, mud.. oh yeah! 😀
I like the previous model Tundra body style actually. I wonder if it has less issues?
mixflip I've got the 2013 Gen 2 Tundra. Love it no issues. Have amazing storage everywhere, and no mechanical issues. Sucks on gas is my only complaint. 13.5mpg.
2007 -2011 Tundras had a few issues, after 2012 they got everything perfect!
they have the store compartment kit for under the back seat on Amazon for the 2018 Tundra
perfect! i just wish toyota would have it built in!! like GMC does...but im gonna look on amazon thanks.i just got a 18
NOT for a crew max...they dont sell them..
I have the same exact truck as you. I feel like I’m driving a 10 year old truck lol.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Toyotas are built to last. I am still driving a first gen Tundra with 235,000 miles. I have not changed a single major part.
Immortalkalashnikov
That's why it doesn't make sense to get a new one, where you could save thousands on a gently used one
07 @ 245k miles & nothing in maintenance but brakes & struts. If course I could be in a 10 year old GM design with less power, worse economy, and 5X the maintenance costs...lol
Love your videos. They do in fact have under seat storage available! How bad is your fuel mileage?
What's the best pricing on one of these new and the best time to buy? I know they typically run 42-50k. Are they ever below 40? Referring to the Limited or Platinum.
2018 Tundras have the option for under rear seat storage for $115.
Aziaziam: I think its only available in the Double Cab and not the Crew Cab, which is what he has. But yes it is an option for the Toyota Tundra.
Why buy storage when he has over 5.5ft of trunk space? 🤷♀️
@@shankyaj8616 pay attention>? to put smaller stuff.like straps etc..i love a storage space under back seats!! tundra should have built one for the crew max
Went through a desert to find a parking spot?
Best line in this video
Mike, I like your thoughts on the truck. I am on my third Tundra, now driving a 2018 Platinum. FYI I installed a 3"- 1" leveling kit and new 35" tires. No issues whatsoever. Have a great day.
I have had a flat tire from a branch in the road too. However, the tire was a Michelin street tire for an 2006 Mercury Milan. BTW the Milan is an excellent car and is still on the road. It still looks new. Just to note I always pick up screws, nails, etc. in parking lots, because you know its going to end up in someone's tire.
I would still buy a Tundra over any pickup truck
Reasons I bought a Ram 1500 SLT over a Tundra using your issues.
1. Storage - the ram has storage compartment under the rear seat.
2. Collision sensor - Don't have sensors on my Ram. Have tried a Ram with sensors and there is still no issue. I notice that this is a common annoyance with all toyota models. My brother's Camry makes all sorts of weird beeps and sounds with no clear indication.
3. When it comes to tires, you can't really blame anything on the truck. Change them for a set of good all terrains. My Ram came with Good Year Wranglers and they're really good. Even been on sand with it and they're good.
4. When it comes to lift kits and stuff, any truck will give you issues if not done or installed correctly. There are plenty of good options for the Tundra, but bear in mind that a good lift kit that works with the sensors, will not be cheap. For the Ram, there are plenty of kits. Some of them are not to my taste, but I do like the stuff from AEV.
5. Toyotas infotainment systems are seriously lacking. Even a high end Lexus isn't as good as a what is on a Chevy Malibu. Ram's Uconnect is what made me get it over any other truck. Didn't like the ones on Ford or Chevy either. The Uconnect is seriously as responsive as an iphone screen and easy to operate.
Julian Pereira the ram is ass
Nice feedback. I like cargo space under the seat. The gps map should be able to be downloaded. The brake warning should be an option by software to disable.
The collision sensor you can turn off. Which I did with my 2019 tundra. Only the front sensor will work when you turn it off
Tundra is the best truck ever.
It does not for you.
It is for 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I couldn’t agree more with the storage issue! Toyota definitely either missed a design opportunity there or they are just simply too cheap to offer storage solutions underneath the rear seats.
As for the GPS issue, you should have gone with a trim that offers entune premium with GPS. I think it’s unfair to call Toyota out when it was your decision to choose a lower trim. How about learning your route or get a Garmin before you go off-road?
With the storage they make stuff that will fit under the back seat and with ur GPS u can get a new head unit seem like most stuff ur saying wrong about the truck is little Petty things
weird. i am about to buy a 2018 and it has the underwear storage
I have a 2007 200,000 miles i just replaced spark plugs after 12 years I drive at least 80 miles a day i love this truck it's always ready for work.
Blamed the tires company. Toyota doesn’t makes tires 🤔🤔. 🤫🤫🤫🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I think I'll get a Yaris ... I dont want to deal with those issues 🤪
LOL
Gamalier Perez-Torres the Yaris doesn't have the same pre-collusion system
oh my gosh your such a loving son and brother i watched the video when u bought your mother a house and founded the prefect puppy for your sister i was so moved for your love of family . your mother was right when she said u have a big heart thank u for sharing those moments. YOUR A SWEET HEART
My 2015 tundra sr5 with the trd offroad has been great. Mine came with the under seat storage, even though i bought a weather tech box. My gps system works fine and doesnt require a phone to run. You can't blame the tire as a mark against the tundra. I installed some BFG TKOs and its been fine. However I don't have the safety sense where the sensors go off and tell me to brake but i figured the newer models would have been better. I use my truck to tow and haul often and its been a great truck.
Having no storage underneath the back seat sucks considering it folds up.
Peter Kim agreed. I have an extended cab F150 which has an upright bench in the back. Under it i have placed a road flare hazard kit, jumper cables, fire extinguisher, and not to mention the stock jack kit lol.
Under back seat storage is available in the double cab but not the crew cab
Agree with everything except the lifting part. After being on the tundras.com forum for sometime it looks like they had a batch of bad sensors. Many people had no lift, but had the issues from day one. Leveled my '18 SR5 and no issues with sensors. Many people on there have lifted their '18s with no issues.
Lifted 18’ crewmax, only sensors (senses) are daily smiles
Lifted mine without issue as well
Did you take it back to the dealer after the lift to have the TSS re-calibrated?
Cory Jonson I did not, waiting until the oil change
Ben Roberts I'm lifting mine this Thursday and have been considering scheduling the calibration. No codes with yours at all?
I have a '17 limited. Left GM. For storage I own two of the "swing box" cases for the bed. They work great, I keep straps, hitch, breaker bar and lug wrench. The bed is short, but I didn't buy mine as a "work" truck, just a weekend hauler and to tow the boat.
The tire isn’t a Tundra issue . The sensor issue with the lift add on is also not a tundra issue. Recalibrated sensors would probably perform normal once lifted. Most “trucks” won’t come with additional storage bins but can be added. My last two tundras had zero storage bins double cab and a crewmax. I made my own custom. The proximity alarms are probably a bad sensor which would be a warranty item. You can always upgrade to a proper navigation system. Those app radios suck and I wouldn’t get one ever. I hope someday I’ll be back in a Tundra. I miss my Crewmax!!
The scout gps thing is trash. I dont even know why they offer it
I don't even use it on my 2017 tundra
I’m guessing Toyota made one hellova truck that they don’t feel the need to change things up. I have an 07 still runs like new.
Me too with 171,000 miles 👍👍
@@stevo8869 FURDS are a non-stop mechanical/electrical NIGHTMARES and HORRIBLE resale!!!
@@mt1885 Added a 2018 to the garage Monday. My son took over the 07' 😁
I bought a 2017 Tundra crewmax 4x4 sr5 so I understand the storage issues. Either buy a truck box or you can buy an under seat storage box but it involves cutting carpet. I had a 2012 Tacoma so I was accustom to all the storage in that truck. Also I bought a 2017 knowing I didn’t want all the collision sensors in the 2018. What size ko2’s did you buy and please do a follow up video. Thanks. Also FYI I have had 3 oil leaks in my truck. Ended up being the upper oil pan but they replaced the rear main seal first then lower oil pan gasket then upper oil pan 2 weeks ago so we’ll see if it’s actually fixed.
Thanks for the update!
Go get a f150 or a ram get nail by their issues and then I bet you that you will not be whining about sisy issues with the tundra you will admire it.
A dude named light surfer calling others sissies. How ironic
Love my ram. No issues at all. Toyota is a good truck but they want a hefty price and won't to come off msrp.
love my ram too.....amazing truck for a 2013 model
A poor whiner . . . Is it true that a jacked up truck (lifted) is to make up not having a large ... Ford, Dodge and GM are lucky you're not buying American.
LOL
The Tundra is made in America with the most Americans made parts. Even more than the show called “American” brands.
ironically the Toyota trucks are more American than the American trucks. You better check yourself before you wreck yourself lol
Just bought a brand new 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD 4x4 off road. It has a 6 inch lift on it with 35 inch tires and 20 inch fuel wheels. I have not had a single issue with any of the sensors, they all function great. The storage is lacking compared to other models, but that can be fixed with a tool box or decked storage system. As far as the tire goes, man come on, that can happen with any vehicle, at any time. Mine has a built in GPS with that does not run off my phone. Thanks for the videos.
I drive a Mercedes GLE has the same sensor issue, but it's basically recognised a yellow sign by the side of road a head of you when you are driving as an alert or something, i am sure it's not a problem. its' just AI sophistication issue.
Why? Why? Why must you keep referring to your Tundra as a "CAR"? It's a "TWUCK"!
Ron Eddington
Car - a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people
A truck is a car... it's not like he said it's a sedan,van or suv.
People from up north refers them as cars which they are far from a car it's called a truck. I would never ever call a truck a car that's some snowbird stuff.
Bradley L from up north where I'm North of the border we call them pickups Or trucks
666dynomax same😂 and I think Bradley L got that idea from smoking too much weed!
Tundra has a REAL V8 - larger displacement - LESS RPM's - LONGER LIFE. Them 2 turbos on the v6 Furds along with the Electrical/sensors are not a sustainable truck. PLUS turbos need replacing after 150,000 miles what a pile...
Thanks dude, super helpful!
Tell your dealer about the “brake” light turning on. I’ve fixed a couple at my dealership by replacing the front radar sensor.
What a whining Tundra owner. Tires not a Tundra problem. Deactivate the collision sensor and use your own eyes and human senses.
My god...buy a Ford next time.
He bought a ford then traded it in
Tonneau bak flip w/tool box=problem solved.
Those things r nice. Pricey. But nice
But that means it'll take away bed space. Which Tundra doesn't have much of already.
@ Chriz Sea it's easily removable if you need the space. The Ram has that side box but it makes the bed unusable because it doesn't leave room for anything at all. No truck has a lot of space for tools unless you add accessories.
My 2017 Nissan Titan came with under the seat storage. Works great. I keep hitches, tow straps, tie down straps, etc. I am surprised Toyota does not have these storage compartments. Titans also have storage behind the back seats. This sounds like a downside for owning a Toyota. Maybe try aftermarket under seat storage.
Johnny oh nice, didn't know that. Very useful for sure then.
No update on the Tundra til 2021 is what I heard. My 2012 crew max had storage under the rear seat. Main reason I traded mine for a 4runner is I couldn’t take the bouncy suspension on long drives, literally would make me car sick. They ever fix that?
So,I just found your page and it's crazy because I went from a 2017 Tacoma to a 2018 Tundra(crew max off-road) and I've had some of the same problems! Storage and the BRAKE warning have driven me nuts. Overall, it's the best vehicle I've ever owned and wouldn't trade it for a Ford,which I've owned several over the years.
Here i thought the Tundra would be a near perfect truck! Hmmm.. makes me think the Nissan Titan is a better choice
HaSTe_CM the Titan is a better value if you don’t care much about the badge. Looks is either love or hate but the Titan pro is a great looking truck. Comes with bilstein shocks and struts, skid plate, leather seats and theirs an XD and cummins Diesel choice too, better off-road wheels and tires and a damn rear locker! with huge discount it’s easily on the high 30’s to mid 40’s Range depending on location. Nodding it to your likes is also much easier bs the new Tundra with the stupid sensors.
The titan is really growing on me, I always thought I would either buy an F150 or Ram but the titan is becoming a good choice for the price and warranty. I know people with tons of miles on their older titans with no mechanical issues. They all have quirks though.
should have got f150 ecoboost with sport package
Now were talking
Cody Bersick he wants a reliable truck.
Yes should have got a ford. Ford TUFF
Cody Bersick Ford is ass
Eco boost last 30,000 miles and there done, Ford, get the 5.0, me, Tundra is the only option.
Does the Tundra come with "park assist" (self parking) or any other Toyota pickup?
Hi DIYMike, My 2018 SR5 came with a real nice removable box under the rear seat. Did you ever do your wheels? I changed my steel wheels to OEM Alloy. I’m having a lot of trouble getting the TPMS straight on the truck. Dealer sold me the wrong sensors. I found another post that had a part number and I ordered that on and it worked. Steel wheels use a 40 degree sensor with 7 digits in the code and the Alloy wheels use a 20 degree sensor with 7 digits. The sensors with 8 digits do not work with the 2018. Also the tire shop that put the wheels on just turned the sensors to make them fit. But shortly after I left the tire shop the sensors quit working. Also if you turn the sensors the next time the wheel comes off the installer will probably break the sensor. Another thing to consider if you upgrade your wheels.
Just drove a Tundra tonight because of your videos. Thanks. My only observable complaint is the *TERRIBLE* gas mileage. Worst in class.
Hence the option for a 37-gallon gas tank.
This is why I didn't purchase a tundra. I drive 500 miles a week. So I bought a Corolla until I live closer to my job. Tacoma's are a great choice though. I've heard of some people having them for 400k+ miles.
Rather spend money on fuel than Furds with them turbo v6's that are constant issues and electrical problems!
James Jacobs actually no Tacoma has bad gas Milage too. It’s all depend on how you drive.
Completely false, 2nd best comparing similar power outputs.
Per fueleconomy.gov
I have a 2018 Toyota Tundra Limited CrewMax and I have to agree with the limited storage and pre-collision system. Storage is a joke...even the glove department is small. Not a lot of aftermarket storage devices. The collision system randomly goes off, which is annoying. It's kind of like the Amber Alerts on your phone...scares the $hit out of you when it goes off. Overall I am very happy with the truck and wouldn't buy anything else.
144 litre tank? How does that work for you? Makes the truck heavy. That is why I am debating whether to buy one or not. Here in Canada price of gas is 1.36 a litre. It would cost me $200 to fill up.
I just bought a 2018 Tundra SR5 Sport 4x4. It DOES has storage under the back seats and its own navigation system without me having to use my phone. I’m not sure what model you bought.
Oh, boy! I’m glad you bought the Tundra. I can’t imagine what issue would have been in the Ford!
Yeah he would flip his lid
You want the Titan that Dougdemuro just reviewed.
The titan looks like a raptor and a tundra had a baby... the new ones look like shit... I wouldn’t buy one just for that reason...
Ugliest truck ever haha
Doug Demuro the type of guy to finger his ass for all the quirks and features
Levi Wagner 🤣🤣🤣
You should bought a ford 😂😂 I use to buy Toyota they are reliable and hold value a little better but I think America cars are getting better I noticed after are fall in economy in 2007-2008 looks like they are more reliable and better then Honda or Toyota that’s just my opinion now that I own only America made now ford Chrysler and Gmc so far they have been good to me 👍🏻
Ford continues to make cars in Mexico. The F150 in Ohio I believe. Having said that, Tundras are made in San Antonio, TX (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas). For certain, Toyotas have the highest resale value.
theAnalyst Meh Chevys have pretty high resale value. For an Old 04 Duramax with 300k miles got just under 10,000.
theAnalyst the F-150 is built in Kansas City and Dearborn Michigan.
My 2017 F150 is made in Dearborn, Michigan
Drew none of Ford's trucks are built in Mexico. Only Toyota fans are the ones that spout that kind of nonsense.
My tundra Paint is Peeling and falling off a multiple places. toyota says it's not covered under warranty. 3 years and the truck is 3.5 years old.
It happens dude I’ve found sticks in my four wheeler tires before. First time it kinda blows your mind.
Should have bought a F150
Why, So when he throws a cinder block in the bed he can create a hole?
Ford F-150 is junk compared to a Tundra. As a matter of fact, they all are.
TideIsHigh89 if you specialize in throwing cinder blocks into your truck bed you should consider at least one of the following a.)getting bed liner, b.) Getting a towing platform to haul them rather than have them weigh down the truck bed and c.) Not throw the bricks like a bunch of numb nuts unless it's trash then review your opinions A and B.
No...
TideIsHigh89
I have yet to see an Aluminum made F150 with a hole in its bed.
Also, too much nonsense about paying 50K for a truck and not getting a bedliner that will protect your bed and costs just a few hundred
@70DMac Ford's are produced by walmart
I haven't had any of these issues with my 2014 Tundra. I have a dedicated GPS, No T.S.S. system, My back seat provides plenty of storage with the aftermarket Husky under-seat storage box and I've never had a flat tire despite driving around old farm roads and logging roads all day. The only thing that annoyed me was the less-than-stellar coverage provided by the stock floor mats. I bought a set of spill-proof Husky Floor Liners and that problem has been solved. Seriously, those Husky Liners are awesome!
I have a 2010 Toyota tundra with 342 thousand miles mechanically I replaced the starter when it was 75.000 thousand miles. Other TV than that regular maintenance. Very powerful truck. I really loved.
I have a 2016 Tundra CrewMax TRD 4x4. Mine is very similarly equipped to yours. I agree the storage does suck inside the Cab. If you would of purchased the next higher package from yours, you would have gotten built in navigation. That’s something you did overlook and so did I. I still think the Tundra is an awesome truck. My biggest issue with the truck is the window/lock buttons don’t light up @ night
