I build computers and love technology. However, I love the simplicity of this Truck. When it comes to a Truck that I am financing, this it the one. I like leasing the vehicles with all the "high tech".
Good job! I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra, Platinum. I still come back from time to time to see what good things this Tundra has. Thats how proud I am of mine, that I have to see the point of view of others and the brag it gets. GOOD JOB TOYOTA.
Mike has the best video quality on CZcams hand down!
People who whine about the lack of gadgets don't seem to get it. The most appealing thing about the Tundra is that it has none of that junk. Two complaints already about the key? Really?
Mike Dubiansky sometimes I think that do these people want a truck or do they want a range rover
So true.
For the price they are making you pay, it doesn't matter. If I'm paying close to 50 grand for a truck.. I am expecting a better interior, a better key fob, a better instrument cluster, a better infotainment system that does not look like my Toyota Corolla and better seats that don't look like they were taken out of an old Camry, halogen headlights and fog lights.... This is a terrible truck for the price. Ford, Dodge and I can't believe I'm saying this, but GM also makes better looking trucks.
If you pay $2,000 for a T.V, do you expect it to be at least 4K, smart TV with a remote control? If you answered yes, then there is NO reason why you should not have the same expectations for a 50 grand truck. Sorry dude, your argument does not hold. It will only make sense if this truck was like 20-30 grand.
Ace I have to say that I agree 50k is a lot of money ALTHOUGH you are getting a very reliable truck with a very reliable engine and transmission. The GM, Ford, or Dodge can't compete with that. Maybe the Tundra isn't as teched out or "modernized" but there are people out there looking for a truck just like this. I'm not saying your comment is in any way wrong, it's just please try to see that there are some people who want a vehicle just like this. Simplicity should be a trucks middle name. I think trucks such as a Silverado High Country or a Titan Platinum Reserve is complete and utter bull crap. Why would anyone buy a TRUCK as a luxury vehicle? I mean if I bought a truck I would buy a base model so that I could love it at its simplest and so I could take it off road or have fun if need be without worrying about breaking some 2k item and having to pay out of pocket to replace.
You guys ever buy trucks? No one pays MSRP for trucks aside from rare stuff like the Raptor. You pay sticker for this truck you got ripped off. I wouldn't mind seeing some nicer materials inside. But every other brand has issues too. I'm looking to replace my Wrangler this spring and this is what I've come across
GM: I'm a GM fan but these current trucks are half baked. They can't fix the vibration issues these trucks have, they recently backed off CarPlay and Andriod Auto on their infotainment ONLY on the pickups as far as I can tell, all direct injection engines have issues with intake valve carbon buildup, the trucks drive terrible with a lazy throttle unless you tune them and then compromise warranty coverage. And they sit too low.
Ram: This was the top contender for me until the Jeep with only 24k on it started losing coolant. Dealer can't fix it and they do a poor job with their attempts to do so. Also, Chrysler is going to fail, again. Management is a bunch of fools and I bet they don't make it to the end of the decade. Chrysler makes some cool stuff but the quality is nonexistent and the local dealer being a moron doesn't help.
Ford: Aluminum body itself doesn't worry me much. Audi's been doing it for years. But there are build quality issues with wavy bedsides and poor panel caps. Also check out the body seam on the roof. Ugly as sin on some of the trucks. You'll only see it from the bed but once you see it, you'll know it's there and it'd drive me nuts knowing.
Toyota: Obviously not as polished as the rest of the trucks but it is the only no BS truck left- No fancy engines, no cylinder deactivation, no unique body materials, no tech that is going to be buggy. And if you want to whine about keys, look at the embarrassing junk you get on a current GM truck. They don't even put a brand name on the remote unless you buy the top trims.
The new Titan might be the better alternative. I don't know much about the truck yet but they seem to have done a truck on a similar theme to the Tundra but being a bit more modern.
A very very good in depth look at the car. Way better than those over simplified motor trend videos. Best thing was that there were no annoying music during the look.
Good solid work truck.. no gadgets to go bad and to send you back to the dealer.. had a Audi Q7 Nice to have all gadgets but every time it broke I was back at the dealer because they were the only ones who could fix it. So yea.. and if you take care of this truck you'll get 1,000,000 miles out of it.. name a audi or BMW that can do that.
Thank you for doing this video. I've been very interested in this truck and I've been looking for videos that go over it in detail, and your video was perfect. All the other videos just talk about performance and suspension. Which is fine, but I also wanted to see all the little things inside and under the hood. So thank you again for the video, I will for sure be buying one of these in the future.
Great video Mike have subscribed. Have had lots of Toyotas and good runs with them!
cannot wait to get mine
Nice car, nice review. Thank you Mike for your work. I like to watch your video, they help me learning english. Have a nice day).
I really enjoyed this video, Mike. Thank You. I'm buying a very clean, used truck just like it. IMHO, it's the prettiest TRD Pro that Toyota has ever made.

MikesCarInfo I'd love for you to review the 2017 dodge dart
Hay mike I’m a huge fan thank you so much for makeing theas videos !!!!!!❤️
Waiting for my Barcelona Red 2017 TRD Pro to arrive! Great review! I'm gonna miss my 2013 Scion FRS gotta trade it in for a family friendly sporty truck! Hehe.
Great Review as always!
feels good
to be apart in making the Tacoma and tundra trucks
Would really like to see a 2019 TRD Pro Tundra review Mike. Great videos!
i have a 2006 tundra sr5 dc 4.7 litre luv this truck had it 5 yrs its got 107000 miles still drives like a charm no problems best buy will always own a tundra best truck ive owned by far had all the domos tundra rules
If u had "any" type of knowledge, u would know that this is currently the best truck on the market!!!
Thx for the Review finally get to see one in that beautiful Redd!!!!
Killawott Lol... I have a 2016 tundra with that same red... I love tundras
Really nice truck! Wish it had better headlights though.
awesome review sir
Great review
Nice video! It would be great if you could do one on the 2019 Tundra TRD Pro as soon as they come out later this year. Quite a number of new features on the 2019 since they skipped a TRD Pro in 2018!
To the people complaining about the key: The separate keyfob is way better than the attached one. The attached one barely works 50ft away. The separate one works hundreds of yards away and inside building. I have both. The separated ones are far superior.
great review..
Good lookin truck. This is the way a truck should be -- not loaded with chrome, great off road capabilty, naturally aspirated powerful engine, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and doesn't have all the extra technology BS.
Great truck i love mine
Thanks for watching and your feedback :)
I'm planning to buy this truck and either put hologram chrome wrap or a gold wrap. I'll use it for off-road too since we own different properties in different areas plus it's a TRD PRO and a long lasting truck.
Mike will you do a 2019 or 2020 Tundra video. You are awesome!
Nice one i want it
hey mike how bout a full review on 2017 ford explorer platinum and ram 1500 limited
woooo!!!
I've got one...really nice truck. First thing you must do though is ditch the Michelin tires for a set of BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2's...then you fall in love with the truck!
jota30se those tires should really be standard on the TRD Pros!
So basically the best full-sized truck ever made/money can buy
First thing I'm doing is retrofitting those headlights. They're good looking, simple headlights. But I have to have HID
I always wonder why Toyota puts those bumps under the back seats so that you don't have under seat storage. Something under the floor taking that space? Its really weird, i think its literally the only truck without space under the rear seats.
@LoneSpartan....This is the same thing I've been saying about that. I wish they had storage space there like they do on the "double cab" model. It makes absolutely no sense at all. @Sirboom I wonder if the new ones are just foam under there and you can have a storage compartment added later?
Awesome job. Maybe my salesman can share a piece of his commission with you lol.
Sounds good to me :)
Mike do you know why Toyota doesn't put the same style bed liner in the tundra that is in the Tacoma? Would love a tundra with that type of bed. Thanks
my biggest gripe with this truck is not having heating and cooled seats for its price
Dalton Hill this is the TRD Property. I'm sure the 1794 tundra has heated and cooled seats.
Carlton Banks what a $50k truck get you at gmc or ford
Great truck !!!! If it were 2005 !!!
Mike can u review new 2017 F-150? I am debating between getting a Tundra limited and a F-150 XLT. Thanks
Simple reliable truck that will get a million miles.
I really wanna see someone try and compare this to the new raptor.
Really nice truck, kinda disappointed that it doesn't have front & back parking sensors, no LED bed lights.
😍👍
Tundra = Reliability
好车
Very nice truck, but wheels should be satin black to match the rest of the trim. High gloss doesn't really work on an off road focused truck. And as with pretty much all trucks these days, the price isn't very nice. I know it's only a couple grand more than the Tacoma TRD Pro, but it doesn't have all the features of that truck.
Hey Mike, can you please please show this truck at night?
anyone know what sized speakers they have in the doors?
none the less great truck but if the floor in the back seat was completely flat without humps like the f150 it would be great
The 2017 Tundra now has "Forced Lighting". You CANNOT turn off the lights even during the daytime. The engineers in Tokyo are now controlling. ALWAYS look at the light switch for ”DRL OFF". The Toyota dealer can disable Forced Lighting so the driver has control of the lights. Make this a condition of the sale at the time you buy.
KrellLab umm my dads 2000 tundra has daytime running lights. This isn't new lol.
In 2000 the driver could turn off DRL if he wanted to. Now, Ford has "Forced Lighting". You CANNOT turn off the lights.
is the ram air in the hood functional?
8:43 Thank God at least Toyota invented water-run engines!! we don't need war for oil anymore! :)))
mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/11315/what-does-a-water-like-drop-coming-out-of-the-exhaust-of-the-car-signify
It costs to be materialistic! When I`m at the pump in my tundra people in Corrolla`s laugh at me. LOL
i love it
justin bouche same
:)
justin bouche I could swear you are a GM fanboy from comments i read on other videos putting Toyota down, are you having a change of heart?
no, i have always loved the Tundra, most of Lexus's products and the Supra (which i pray comes out soon with a TTI6). i simply do not enjoy the Tacoma and most of Toyota's passenger cars. i am not a GM fanboy lol, i love Lexus, Cadillac, Mclaren, Chevy, Mazda, and BMW.
justin bouche #fordfanboy p.s I'm just loving these comments today. haha
great to convert this into a 6x6 extended then 36inch tires then support bars internal external then housing for camper at the back then solar plus generator / water filtration system and disel gas burner / 2 ref sytem
kind of steroid tundra off road camper 6x6
جميل
wat a beaut. if i choose to switch over from GM a Tundra would be my first choice
good looking truck, what is going on with the diesel tundra 4x4?
i'm pretty sure its already out just not in north america, But you can go to shops in the US that put diesel motors in them
How's the mpg though?
Is that a Flex Fuel engine ?
Hey Mike the tundra does not come standard from the factory with the spray in bed liner it is an option. Just so you know.
Thanks Tim. I see it is listed as a 'distributor installed option' at 25:58
Thanks for watching and your feedback :)
Just ordered a double cab in cement color, How do these tow?
Sidney White my buddy has this truck we towed his 18 ft Lund boat from Chicago to North West Ontario no problems we got around 14 mpg
However, great video, and good looking truck on the outside. But I will never get one.
let me guess. you would get a f-150? lol
Lifebeam87 Negative.
Omar is Rad what then. no truck?
Ram or GMC
Omar is Rad Go with GMC
Why does my 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD pro have everything but the back sliding window??
As beautiful as the TRD Pro is, I could not convince myself to drop nearly 50k on something so technologically outdated. From the powertrain to navigation, every element speaks to a decade old truck in dire need of a redesign. Even the obvious components such as lighting represent this neglect, which was addressed in the standard 2018 Tundra.
Word of advice to all potential buyers, wait it out.
Brad Brown agree 100%! Not only technologically inferior but every truck competitor has stronger engines that are getting mpg's in the 20's. Tundra with 5.7L gets u 13mpg in city, that's totally unacceptable! And what did Toyota Engineers do to the engine to fix that gas guzzling problem...They double the gas tank capacity! I've had nothing but Toyota trucks all my life, but Toyota better get with it!
The MPG was a big concern for me as well, but I can work around that one. Toyota didn't conform to the cylinder deactivation that nearly all competitors put in place for good reason. After speaking to a few GM mechanics, there was one central issue with this concept. Uneven cylinder wear. It's a major component of reliability, and therefore something I'm willing to work around. We'll see what the 2019's do.
Beautiful truck, love that it has an LSD. What killed it for me is the halogen lights, historic keyfob, no one-touch on the passenger or even one-touch-up for driver, rear floor with seats folded up is lame, and the gay 4 spoke steering wheel.
so you're going to hold on to your 1983 chevette until something better comes along eh?
Jonathan Marquise What?
your complaints are lame.
Jonathan Marquise I agree.
you can install the headlights you want. as for the key fob thing, I am currently wrestling with this. I like the toyota and the GM clone trucks, but neither have bush button start like my car does now. I am starting to sound like a spoiled brat. hahaha.
price?
And still no locking rear differential.....
there's not a high demand for a locking diff for the tundra. although the tacoma trd off road models have a locking diff
FJ
You don't need locking diffs to go to the grocery store.
Most trucks used as grocery haulers. No need for lockers. A- trac does the job just fine.
@@highplainsdrifter9849 Right, you'd buy a Tundra TRD Pro to haul groceries? A-Trac is no substitute for lockers.
Does the stereo have a amp and subwoofer?
Scott Saunders not the trd pro, I had to add some
The only bad thing would be no HID headlights & taillights
So?
so??hhm?
You can actually cup just change the bulbs out to LED, pretty easy actually
fuck HIDs, they blind people and are honestly dangerous, I live in VA and every 19 year old racer has them and some are so bright I lose my vision for a good couple seconds.
Fuck HID are those the annoying light people used now that's too bright fuck I hate those selfish mdker I
6:19 "Debossed"
No shifter on the column? Wouldn’t feel like a real truck to me.
Barcalona Red isn't a new color for 2017... I have a 2016 tundra that is barcelona red.
TRD Pro?
MikesCarInfo No Limited.
MikesCarInfo I didnt know you met for the trd pro. You didnt specify in the video. Sorry
Yeah I should have been more specific.
Dominick Bubeck the truck is a trd pro, it was implied
I think the TRD and Tundra logos are "engraved"
Clifford anyone?
Hate the dealer installed ugly side stripes on the body. I guess that is the way those dealers make money.
No push button start? wow. f 150 here I come.....
Man I hate crew max's. So much "car" and almost zero "truck." The fuck you gonna do with that bed - haul an end table? Nice video though Mike :thumbup:
Hey man E85 Gas is 15% Ethanol. If it were 85% Ethanol, no way that beast would start up.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85
Who put the pen stripes and stamp fill on it. Wrong wrong wrong! And why would anyone want a separate key and key fob... fail.
not impressed with the key ....
I wonder how long that thing takes to fill up from empty...
sharkheadism depends on the pumps... but it takes 6min
***** Thanks. To me that would be an eternity, lol
which you will go to often with poorest fuel millage of any half ton
Jonathan Watts What's fuel millage?
sharkheadism in a good day of 2000rpm long range trip hehehehe 18 ish in a very bad day Hahahaha 10-13ish about the advertised number hehehe
no locking rear diff, no auto climate control, no wireless charging. the audio unit is very dated software, so much better in my GMC
No Leds Lighting, No OEM Xenon and no lockers means my money will stay in my pocket its a shame cause i really like the tundra and want one.
Tt Ss it's not a bad truck.. it's simple and built to last. You can always add the LED lights . That's not a problem.. Plus you are able to adjust the head lights when the back of the truck is squatting from hauling .
Really? Simple and build to last. It doesn't cost 40 grand to last the only thing that is going to last is the engine I know i have a 08 4runner with over half a million miles on it running like a champ. No at 40 grand I shouldn't have to spend money on LEDS or HIDS why because it should be common sense adding it for the safety aspect of it. A camary is far less then this truck and has LED and HIDS heck my 08 4runner at least had leds tail lights and projectors. No reason why they could have added it. Its like buying apple products you have to wait 4 or 5 generation to get what should have been include the first year it came out. Prime example the 5th gen 4runner 2010 halogen everything then each year the added LEDS and OEM HIDS etc etc. As far as your comment of adjusting the level of the HEADLIGHTs to compensate for squatting UHH NO its built for hauling there should be no squatting unless is over the max recommendation of the truck. Your advice is GHETTO at best I'm sorry i have better things to do then adjust headlights overtime i decide to haul just to finish and have to do it again. Thats why they get away with doing stuff like this people like you say ill just work around it. Just like others have said also the cheaper out on the tires also so thats another added grand on top of the purchase for the better tire that actually works rather then the shit tires it has now
Tt Ss wow.. well it's different strokes for different folks and for a lot of people it's like that I'm not the only customer. So relax and I have had problems towing and had the rear end squatting. Just depends what you do with the truck . Most people are just simple and not complex ..also LEDs are really expensive to replace . There not just a bulb it's usually like a LED light bar like what u see on the new car.. the new Honda have them and A lot of people don't want to dish out that kind of money if they're going to keep it over a long period of time. Xenon option would've been better but they're like $100 a bulb and last twice as long as Hid.. and most people customize these trucks .. but next year's model will have that option.
For a $47,000 MSRP where I live I would think they could include a Push Button start option.....
"Having room as a back seat driver" lol whaaat?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-seat_driver
Wow no tech, that is music to my ears. A lot of you people are greedy af. Just because this truck has a NORMAL key or halogen headlights doesn't make it "old" or "dated", it means Toyota is listening to the group of us that want a real normal pickup truck. Wish they would go backwards on cwrs, they are getting too far a head.
Dustin Hart I hear you man I prefer simple rather than complicated. The reason why I love about my 96 F150 is that it only has powered windows, door locks, aircondition, and remote start and that's about it and don't have all this junk that they're putting in modern vehicles today. Modern Trucks in general are not only overpriced but they look hideous and ugly and my 96 F150 will outlast anything you see on the road today and plus my truck looks better than anything you see on the road today as well.
No crawl control....wtf
They avg 15 mpg. For some reason imports can't get their trucks to get efficient gas mileage. I almost purchased a NissanTitan, but the 12 mpg average made me laugh.
Get with the Program Toyota and put the Led Headlights and tail lights on the trucks.Don"t be so cheap....Forn ,checy and dodge have it ....
The key fob got this nice ass trick is a joke... come on Toyota it looks like a key fob from the 90s
I'm willing to pay 45k for it
Thanks for watching and your feedback :)
Dude my Corolla has factory HID wtf
>be 2017
>still use reflector halogens
>Toyota
Why do these damn reviewers mention a telescoping steering wheel; like no Shit; every car produced in the 21st century has practically a telescoping steering wheel
No they really don't :)
Us "damn reviewers" know what we are doing.
would anyone pick this over a raptor? if so what's your reasoning?
Del up to a $20K price difference. Possibly even higher with dealer markups.
Another reason would be the Toyota reliability, reputation and resale value.
Don't get me wrong, the Raptor is bad ass... but Ford.
So how would you say the tundra fares against the raptor off road?
Del the raptor is hands down the best factory ready off truck out there. However the price reflects it and the markups make it not worth it. The problem is Ford is just not known for being reliable and that's a huge component of an off roader. You don't want the fear of a mechanic issue when you're out in the middle of nowhere. That's the issue with Jeeps too. Chryslers are extremely unreliable vehicles.
Yeah, I currently drive a 2008 Jeep Laredo terrible vehicle can't complain enough about it. But thanks for answering my questions. I much rather have a reliable off road vehicle.
Why the uglytires? the 2015 tires were better.
The "BAD" ....... NO remote start, NO Lockers , SHITY MPG STILL !! , Tiny Bed, seriously.....! They seem to leave modern out a lot, guess thats the secret to the 2020 Tundra. I will wait till then. Oh them thin ass tires.....lol. 38 Gal gas tank, lol. full tank may get you 250 miles. lol. Guess guys don't take road trips anymore. ps: wheres the 110V, outlets. ? Guess they don't take them camping or Hunting. Great puddle hopper.! The F-150 FX4, has a lot more going for it. ! Had one.....Had to step up in weight class. So HD truck life for now on. Things a pimp though.
Thanks for watching and your feedback :)
