The tundra is a bullet proof tank! No frills,gadgets,or gismos.Your truck will be running when the Fords,Chevys,and Rams are being recycled into soda cans.
True, they will outclass the others in reliability, but the quirkiness & horrible fuel mileage are two things many just can’t stomach. Unfortunately, the new Tundra styling is so polarizing, that many lower end buyers will walk away. I don’t understand why Toyota thought that the front end should look like a bulldozer. No thanks, I’m out.

Who the hell needs their mirrors to fold automatically in the first place lol I never understood that. And its toyotas fault you curbed your wheel lol. Talk about grasping for straws.
@@JohnWaid6Plus I understand, they’re not for everyone. But Today I was blessed to drive the needles Hwy in South Dakota. Power folding (tow) mirrors on a full size truck are a must for 100’ tunnel with an 8’ width.
FYI usually (at least for all the Toyota’s and Lexus’s ive owned that have a memory package) you can just adjust the mirrors while youre in reverse to “set” where it goes when you reverse, so you could just set them back to your normal mirror positions. Or his comment on keeping the switch in the center position would stop them from moving
Those mirrors that till down for the left and right side is for when you live in a one way street and if you wanted to park on the right side you select the right button or park left side you select the left button they should be like that and your car is lucky to have both mirrors tilted down , most car only have one on the right side parking only
Probably the biggest dislike for me, is the lack of transmission oil cooler. Also, the removal of the grab handle for the driver, only one small glove box instead of the 2 that they use to have. My 2007 SR5 has more convenient features than my 2021 Limited.
On our 21 Tundra, I do not like: (i) the cupholders. When I place bottles, they rattle. I guess I need to buy some soft inserts to stop the rattle. Plus there are no cupholders for the back seat occupants if all seats are occupied. (ii) I hate those chrome pieces inside the cab, which you mentioned, but because they drive me crazy during summers here in WA, I need to express my frustration with Toyota's engineers. To resolve this issue I am considering to wrap them up with vinyl or just paint them. (iii) Our Tundra did not come with a tailgate actuator, and I had to install one. Otherwise, I had to use the silly key to lock and unlock the tailgate. This is a $50k+ truck and it does not come with an electronic locking/unlocking feature on the tailgate - awful. (iv) Another issue I have is that the gas tank door/cover is not lockable. I think Toyota does not offer that feature in the 3rd gen as well. I am so relieved that Toyota's engineers do not see it as an issue. Stupid bean counters they ruin everything. (v) It is a pain in the b*** to climb the bed of the truck. I am 5 feet 7 inches tall and I struggle doing that. I make kids climb up to get stuff for me. The 3rd gen is even worse. What a relief Toyota goes backwards but not forward, and I am hearing that they listen to their customers (bs, they do whatever is good for them not us). (vi) There is no storage under the second row seats. I think you mentioned that you like the flat surface so you can place some items inside the cab, but I wish they have utilized that area. (vii) I am trying to seal the tailgate so water does not come through. I installed a tonneau cover, but it is leaking through the tailgate gaps and the shape of the bed and tailgate in the upper area is weird. I am not sure if I will be successful to close the gap there, but I will try. Regarding the other issues you noted. I think our infotainment system on the 21 Tundra is updated compared to the 2018 and earlier models. Overall, it is okay. I do not have any complains there. Some of the buttons you showed on the right side behind the steering are placed in a different location in our truck, except for those on the left side of the steering wheel, but the towing buttons are still in the same place like yours, but we do not tow heavy trailers yet. The parking assist button and the traction button and some others are in the center under the infotainment system. Overall, I like the layout of the buttons. It is simple to learn and the best thing is that I can completely disable/enable the electronic nannies, which is great when hunting and off-roading. But you are correct about the front bumper sensors. Having no sensors for the center is an issue, I think they resolved that issue on the 3rd gen. Yay Toyota you listen sometimes.
It appears that your brake controller may be before Toyota fixed the problem. Was yours an early 2018 model? I heard they replaced with a newer model sometime in 2018. Have you gone back and had the TSB's performed? My IBC was the same. Just not enough power to activate the trailer brakes. And I tried it on multiple new and used trailers. The Tekonsha P3 made a huge difference. Question, what shocks does your truck have? I wonder how they compare to the Bilsteins on the Tundra with the TRD off-road package. Have you ever experienced "porpoising" of your trailer on certain roads and speeds? Thanks.
Truck was built Feb of '18. I'haven't seen that TSB based on my VIN. Standard shocks on Platinum. Just standard platinum shocks. Only porpoising I've had was traveling in Navajo Nation just east of Shiprock on Hwy 371. Hit some unexpected waves/ ripples in the highway while admiring "Shiprock" . My son swears all four tuck tires and and trailer tires came off the road. I think he was exaggerating, but I was shocked nothing was broke.
I have a 2018 Limited (May build) and the IBC was replaced and had to go in a total of 7 times because the truck would say the trailer was disconnected. My 2008 Keystone Hideout wasn’t the problem. Very poor hardware and software from the factory! Finally they got it right.
@@kedrevs4037 When I first suspected an issue with my IBC, I called my local dealer and they had no knowledge of a TSB. I did online research, found it, printed, and brought to dealer. They still could not access it in their system. Crazy. The TSB (back then) did nothing to fix the issue. Yours being a 2018 may be eligible for the newer and better IBC. But you need to do the research and provide to your dealer. Like a semi-secret fix but not official or advertised like an official recall.
Agreed, it is was designed like that, and it is a pain in the butt, as is the parking sensor indicator that you can turn off/on. But the indicator light and button are both hidden by the steering wheel. In some ergonomic ways, Totyota is the cow that produces the sweetest milk, then puts her hoof right in it.
I have a 2007 Tundra TRD extra cab..LOVE LOVE this truck. 175K and the only repair was a water pump. NO repairs other than that. This 5.7 is a beast of a motor...this truck looks and drives perfectly...a real joy and GUTS when you step on it. ..preparing to order a 2022 Tundra as soon as I can get one. Best vehicle I have ever owned. COnsidering miles, was looking around...tried a GMC top of line Sierra 5.3...beautiful truck...like sticking my foot into a my pillow....gutless wimp of a truck compared to Tundra.
Hit the nail on the head. Not interested in a V6 +/- turbos or +/- hybrid. Some disagree with me on this, but the labor those engines would have aus it is V8 for me. I love the Tundra.
My only complaint it’s my 15 limited is my blind spot indicators are so sensitive, when a vehicle passes me on a two lane, my light flashes every time. I just shut it off.
So how has the maintenance been on the truck? Do you do your own oil changes or is taken to a dealer or shop. What intervals are you using? Any transmission services?
I do every 10k mile oil change myself unless I've done a long tow, then I change it when I get back. Full Synthetic. I did do the first few free oil changes at the dealer but decided to do them myself. Change rear diff every 30k. No transmission service as of today.
I went from a 330K mile 2008 Tundra Crewmax to a 2021 Crewmax. I have a list of what I call 'disappointments': 2008 had drivers grab handle at the A pillar, had swing out storage drawers in the front doors, had two glove boxes, the rear seat was movable and reclinable and had storage underneath and behind. The 2014 - up Tundras have none of that. Toyota went to the length of adding 4 inches of styrofoam under the rug under the non-movable rear seat, to eliminate any possible storage space there. I don't have the Platinum, so no folding mirror or parking sensor complaints, but I agree with your assessment of the factory infotainment system. My SR5 black wheels are very ornate and extremely difficult to wash, and the spare is a "temporary" tire on a different rim sized steel wheel. Buh.
GREAT review,very honest and informative.You should go down and visit Scotty K.Pull in his driveway behind d his Toyota Celica don't stop until the front sensor tells you to!ha ha ha ha.
Correct, so a positive offset moves the face of the wheel closer to the outer edge of the tire, therefore it is more exposed to damage. A negative offset moves the hole wheel away from the midline of the vehicle, but the face of the wheel is then protected by the tire.
@@kedrevs4037 The tire is always in the same place as the rim regardless of your offset. Offset works from zero. Toyota Tundra steel wheels "negative 55" move the whole wheel and tire inward under the fender well. My Method wheels are "plus 18", this moves the wheel out on a tundra about .75 inches past the fender well. I run a 275 width tire and with factory flares that extend .75 inches I get no spray up the side of my Tundra. Just my two cents.
I bought a 21 tundra one of the last v8 tundras made received same in November 2021.. I think how lucky I am to have this truck to tow my travel trailer. Thank GOD i got this before they down graded the truck to a V6 turbo… yes I am a turbo hater I want longevity and I don’t think a turbo will last as long as a naturally aspirated v8 My not complaint of my tundra is that I had to spend 1000 dollars installing a tran cooler back to protect the Transmission. They got cheap and deleted same 2019 forward..Cheap bastards
I tinted my windshield as you won’t regret it especially with you living down south. My window Tinter talked me in to it and I love it and yes I can see fine out of it at night time as I did not go so dark where I couldn’t see out of it. Plus it will protect all your plastic as about 75% rays come through the front windshield…
Did they make a mess doing it I hear they have to wet the inside of your dash and crawl all over your truck to do it I bought a used 2018 paid 39k for it here in Florida

Done a few videos on that. I get 9-10 towing my travel trailer (6k-7k lbs depending on how it is loaded) at 70-75mph, even at elevation and through the mountains. Worst is foothills of Appalaichains where I get only 8 mpgs. In town driving ranges from about 13-25 mph. Unloaded I get about 18ish at 70-75mph. At 60-65 is the golden number at about 19-19.5 mpgs.
@@kedrevs4037 thank you. I tow a 4k travel trailer. Probably more like 5k with all the gear. I’m waiting to see what the new Tundra brings but I’m leaning towards the 14-21s.
Having to raise the Gain all the way up for your trailer has NOTHING to do with the Truck!!! Its your Trailer, I have 3 Trailers and all of them are different when it comes to the gain setting. Adding an aftermarket brake controller is not going to do anything. The integrated brake controller is GREAT on these trucks. 10k oil Changes is WAY too long, (5k is Better) Also the Trans Fluid needs changed, You have a cooler BUT Toyota does not open the t-stat on the cooler till 190^ which lets it get into the lower 200's daily. You need to change it and Pin open the t-stat open and the tranny will be happy. I added a Cooler on my 19 when I found out Toyota Eliminated it, Before that I monitored it without the cooler It was North of 250^ all the time in heavy Traffic and Towing. It looked like Burnt Motor oil at 20k. Added Cooler, Changed Fluid and Pin the t-stat and now avg is 165^, Might see 190^ Occasionally.
Appreciate the insight on the TBC. Makes sense. Taking a Lance 1995 on this trip to Black Hills/ Yellowstone/ Grand Tetons and TBC is functioning much better at 5.0.
Those front parking sensors are worthless for objects straight in front of the truck. The front corner sensors work very well though. That’s the case in my 2018 Limited anyway
Dude I watch your video really if you don't like the way things work on the truck select that's 1 option 2nd option is by the company make. The changes yourself good luck.😂
In other words, there are no problems or short comings associated with the performance and durability of the truck, especially as you drive it considerable distances and often pull heavy trailers. The systems are holding up and you have a dependable vehicle. Your complaints and dislikes are minor and represent matters that you were aware of or should have been aware of at the time of purchase.
The tundra is a bullet proof tank! No frills,gadgets,or gismos.Your truck will be running when the Fords,Chevys,and Rams are being recycled into soda cans.

I have owned 1/2 tons of all those makes and choose to own a Tundra. Just trying to keep my reviews honest.
Why would he want an Obama bailoit vehicle with Dodge or Chevy? He doesn't have time for dieseling & raking.
Driving a ram, Ford or Chevy is like kissing your sister man. Ya just don’t do it.
The only thing I hate about my 18 is the mileage and the color. But it's not toyota's fault that I bought a black one. Black paint sucks imo.
Haha, I love black, just have to accept the scratches as character.
So literally nothing is wrong with it lol this video was a waste of my time.
I think you need your shoes one size bigger
Prefer to stay stock
Your funny
🤧
Tundra has a big nose and needs a front camera
This is a very nit picky review
A little 3 guy complaining...say it ain't so.
I'm not sure you watched the video. Little 3 guy?
In other words, there are no problems or short comings associated with the performance and durability of the truck, especially as you drive it considerable distances and often pull heavy trailers. The systems are holding up and you have a dependable vehicle. Your complaints and dislikes are minor and represent matters that you were aware of or should have been aware of at the time of purchase.
Umm, yeah?
