- I review the 2023 Toyota Tundra with the 3.4L Twin Turbo charged V6 I-force engine putting out 389 horsepower and 479 lbs of torque as a Heavy duty mechanic. I list the pros and benefits of this engine while driving and describe why I like this engine and how it feels while on the road. I also describe how the suspension feels on these new Tundra trucks. very Impressed.

Love my time with this Toyota Tundra and the 3.4L iforce engine. with the long stroke of the engine there is so much natural torque down low that the turbo lag is very minimal but when you put your foot down and those turbo kick in you can really notice all the power this engine produces. also really liked the sound of the turbos.
as for the ride quality I was very impressed, I could not believe how well this tundra soaked up the bumps and I guess the rear suspension choice of coils over leaf springs made a huge difference.
I could only imagine what the tundra TRD pro version of this truck would feel like with its specifically designed off road suspension with fox shocks I believe. anyways Really enjoyed driving this truck around town. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
My dad has a 2024 which ive driven several times now. Ive driven several Gen 2's with the 5.7. This is a huge step forward in every place where it matters. Its got plenty of road manners, plenty of torque, noticeably better (but still not great) fuel economy. Its a huge improvement. Maintenance over the long term is definitely going to be more expensive due to the complicated nature of the engine, but thats just a sign of the times. By year 4 i think we will be hearing very little about this platform in terms of issues. As a mid trim truck this is a good competitor in the market.
Replaced my 2017 F-150 Ecoboost with a 2021 Tundra back in 2021. Get back to me in 5-7 more years when the reliability is proven, because I sold my F-150 at 138,500'ish miles because both the turbos went out and they wanted $7,000 to replace and repair the shit the turbos destroyed when they went out. I would never ever buy a turbo anything ever again.
@@SuperSnakePlissken The early years of ICE turbos were horrendous. .. IIRC the early MY2000 Audi 2.7tt V6 would blow the seals in the turbos spewing engine oil into the CAT(s)..The 8yr/80k mile US emission covered the nonsense entirely, but still. .. Any Audi "Goodwill" was in short supply to any "Chipped" 2.7tt.".. Think the "00 Audi S4, S6, Allroad wagon, etc. .. The newer (2017) inline straight 6cly Mercedes 3.0 has an electric turbo - kind of. Our '23 wagon has this 3.0l turbo straight six w/9sp. .. Fingers crossed as we keep new cars a decade or more. .. "Until the wheels fall off"
@@michaelschneider- I still wouldn't trust them especially on the used market. Since most of them require premium fuel and have direct injection, there is extra mandatory maintenance that the vast majority of customers will not due because they don't know they need to do it, or they are unwilling to pay for it. Second, most people that drive vehicles that require premium do not put premium in it, and by 100,000 miles the damage is done and the engine is gone.
@@SuperSnakePlissken +1. .. Agreed. .. This manufacturer's rush to "all things turbo-charged" comes at a cost. .. You guessed it, the customer's cost. ..
Drive safe, Cheers,
How are you not the most viewed truck review channel. As far as im concerned your content is bar none the best.
I’ve had a F150 ecoboost for 10 years and loved it. I drove the Tundra today and bought it because it was very similar but was $15,000 less for higher end trim.
As a tundra owner, I'd have to say it is easily one of the trucks ever.
Easily a truck ever, easily
@@ejshelby5460I concur
Agreed, I saw one the other day and thought to myself “That’s the truck ever… easily.”
Sure I will second or third that easily… I think.
One of the trucks of all time. No doubt about it.
Manufacturer's need to start loaning you trucks. Love your channel. Cheers from Colombia south America
Such a torque monster
Great video…love the coverage on the new Tundra👍
Thank you sir!
Incredible award winning film good sir 👏
I agree with you on the ride quality of the tundra.
It was a very nice surprise. did not expect it.
100% test drove all full size trucks. And the Tunrda felt like a sporty car. The turbo spooling up is crazy exciting. RAM was 2nd best. I went with the tundra
Appreciate the video. Have you heard about them having main bearings issues?
Nice truck
I’ve owned a 2014 Ram 1500, multiple F150 (FX, Bilstein after market shocks etc etc), Silverado, 2011 Ram 1500, 4Runner, LX570, GX460, Tacoma. The 2024 Tundra rides only next to LX570!!
The GX460s ride really well. A little more smoother than the Tundra but not by much.
From Nevada I own and drive 4 vehicles. 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV in Black, 2021 Lexus GX 460 in Nightfall Mica Blue, 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid in Silver, 2023 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid in Cavalry Blue. The Escalade made in USA. The Lexus and both RAV4 Hybrids made in Japan. I'm a fan of Toyota and Lexus but the current 2.4L 4-cylinder Turbo and 3.4L V6 Twin Turbo that Toyota and Lexus are using is trash I don't think they will hold up cheaply made. Rather get a F-150 with the 5.0L V8 Coyote Engine. 😇
I have to agree with you. I test drove the new Tundra and wasn’t impressed. The Fords have recognized and fixed the problems and issues with their engines in the last 10 years and, IMO, have moved ahead of Toyota in quality.
@@waynenoll1967 Ford: More recalls than any other company last year by a long shot. No thanks :)
I have a 2024 Toyota tundra crew max 4x4. I was impressed at how smooth it rode when I first test drove it. In my opinion it handles a trailer really well to. I pulled a flat bed trailer with 2 utvs on it. Total weight was only around 5000 pounds but it was rock solid and no lack of power. Mine is the sr model with the low out put engine which I believe has 358hp and 405 torque. Those numbers could be wrong I guess it depends where you look on google or who you ask.
awesome to hear I wasn't able to put a trailer on this truck but happy to hear it handles a load decently.
5:20 ,I agree about the oil pressure on the F150s, however in Fords defense they use a variable displacement oil pump since 2017 and it would be easy to think you had a problem when it’s working as designed, I agree oil pressure is life with engines. I’m impressed with your ride quantity findings.
I have the TRD Sport which is half inch lower with different tuned shock absorbers, a little stiffer for a sportier drive, and it still drives amazing.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO I FOR SURE LOOKING FORWARD TO BUY A TRD GREEN ARMY IN THE FUTRE. MY DREAM TRUCK.❤❤❤❤
I’ve had 2 f-150s, but I’m leaning towards the Tundra. I actually really like the look of these trucks.
see I don't really like the look of it but beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say!
When I was truck shopping 2yrs ago, I was pumped to try the tundra, but I was immediately turned off by the squishy brakes on the 2020 I drove. Felt like I had to push the brakes to the floor just to stop at a stoplight in town. The 2019 f150 I tested had grippier brakes and the 2019 Ram 1500 I tested and eventually bought had by far the strongest braking of the 3.
Yeah got to keep on top of the tundra caliper pins and keep them free sliding.
Learned this with my 2008 and now my 2018 I do after winter / summer.
Only thing about the truck I don’t like.
Still not enough to make me even look at the other brands
The trd pro is awesome, i take speed bumps over 30 mph and my heads just nods gently
Ya I could imagine the pro is smooth as butter.
My 2014 f150 ecoboost, orginal factory spec, 300k get 14.5L every 100 😂😅 I've owned my Ford since new, and it's been my favorite truck, the last steel body. I've owned them all and traded back in on lease, I've compared the old Ford to drive quality and it can't be beat.
Needs an awd option for snowy weather would be nice overall great truck
Just leave it in 4wd, then it is the same as an AWD. You won’t hurt it.
@@botashs No, many of us see extremely mixed conditions, especially with untreated roads and fully dry parking lots. Just leaving it in 4wd is a poor solution, at best.
Best truck channel by far 🛻
Great video! I thought you mentioned a month or so ago there were a few issues with these Toyota Tundra twin turbo V6's.. and a dealer up in your area had two new Tundra's in the shop with probs??
Ya the place where I get my trucks has a couple tundras in their fleet and they had one of their engines blow.
@@TheGettyAdventures gotta recall over the weekend. 100k truck engines for this 3.4L
@getty curious too about tundra v. Ram 1500 ride.
Tundra rides better.
I feel like The biggest reason for the smoothness over the Ram 2500 is one is HD, the other is not. As a HD, and more towing/payload, you need a stiffer setup. I have an older tundra, and it is a fairly smooth ride. However, i can't wait for the rebel 2500 someday.
I like the oil pressure gauge but honestly never had oil pressure problem in my 30+ years of driving a range of vehicles. I have read there is no trans temp gauge on the new Tundra. The Fords seem to have this standard and for someone who tows, I have seen many people cook their transmission. Really like to see a factory gauge or even in the digital display like our Pacifica has. I watch while towing in my 12 year old F-150 with factory aux trans cooler and once up to normal it stays there even on hot hill climbs. Interesting on the ride quality, kind of expecting anything that can handle 1800+ lbs like my F-150 in the bed will ride poor empty.
The Toyota T 100 Drove nice too.. Did people want a V6 in a big full size Truck. NO. Do people want a v6 in a big truck now. NO.. These pickup are big mini van scoccer mom people carriers. All the functionality for a contractor or Outdoor person is gone. The back Seat is the pits vs the pre 2014 Tundra. An little things all add up that it's not as refined as the 07 to 14 tundra. Load that thing up with some Wood or other heavy things. Like a tote of water. The New Tundra is so soft. Again it takes away from the functional use of what a truck is for. We had to put Air bags under the rear to keep the front end from lifting and getting light. A v8 with it's mass doesn't have that issue. There are advantaged to some extra mass over the steer tires.
These new trucks remind me of the big 1970's cars.
I want see u do video pulling with it
How is the suspension? Rugged??
We got washboard gravel roads where we live. Need something tough
My 2020 ram 1500 is the same ultra smooth I'm looking into a tundra now they went coils in the rear once you feel the ride quality you won't go back to leafs in a half ton. Tundra and ram win here the power wagon is ruffer but that's a 3/4ton so keep that in mind but go get in a f-250 and you will say a power wagon is smooth
The TRD Pro has the best ride of them all and is the preferred trim according to the “Car Care Nut”, who has driven them all!!
toyota the best on the hard road .... bush arms big and very quality and long years
Im not surprised the new Tundra rides better. My buddy's '15 tundra rides better down the logging road than my '19 F150 with offroad suspension pkg
Im still waiting for the video you said the new tundra has a problem that leaves a bad taste in your mouth…
Same.
i have a 2024 limited nightshade and there is one thing i haven't seen anyone mention but i absolutely hate 😂
if it's snowing and you use cruise control, the snow blocks the front sensor and deactivates cruise control. you have to stop and clean it off. and it happens within 10 minutes of driving.
it also constantly gives you messages and notifications that the sensor is obstructed and you should stop to clean it off.
very annoying 😂
@@chefhenrie6959same issue with the 2020. Snow and ice disables the sensors pretty quickly
Yeah man, whats your big beef with it?
Snow and ice disables the radar on my 2023 Volvo semi truck. Nothing new here.
After last video about this truck and looking into the cost to replace the engine with two turbos and the exhaust filter. Id rather take the chance on a chevy silverado 2.7 4 cylinder. Not saying the tundra is a bad truck, its just the costs of ownership beyond warranty to do repairs can bankrupt you.
it's interesting that 2.7L turbo max engine seems to still be running pretty well. Maybe just maybe gm has a little winner with that engine. time will tell.
@@TheGettyAdventures I've been reading forums and other sources of information about the 2.7 turbo going back to 2019. It seems that if you baby it you can achieve high mpgs. I've been driving since brand new a 2015 canyon and have been able to reach 35.1 mpgs on a trip. First midsized truck that I have ever owned coming from 3/4 trucks.
I got a 24 Ram my buddy has the 24 Tundra. The Tundra is way more nimble the throttle tip in is better. The fit and finish is better on the Ram. The Tundra build quality is not as good as the previous generation.
I felt the interior of the tundra a little cheap compared to my ram.
My 2024 Tundra is very rough
My 23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x beats the new Tundra all day, everyday of the week!! My Titan gets 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the hwy!!
I gotta get that truck on the channel.
yes it drives nice, very smooth drivetrain but there are creaks and rattles and the worse thing is the terrible fuel economy.
It’s a full size truck…they’re big and heavy they don’t get good fuel economy. Period. The new engine is primarily for the improved emissions due to government regulations not to be a dramatic difference in fuel economy.
@@debratakahara2494 what you are saying makes sense until you compare it to other fullsize trucks. My 2019 Sierra with the V8 got 12.8l/100 km with this one i avarage 15.
In every ford I’ve been they’ve always had insanely bumpy ride quality.
I would agree but also when I put trailers on f150's they seems to squat the least. give and take I guess
I drove one and wasn’t overly impressed
2024 Toyota SR5 trim w/V6 twin turbo charged... What's not to like? .. Is the Toyota SR5 the smart man's pickup? .. Looking to buy the first 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton pickup; The RAM trucks are out, as nice as they are, because the Dodge/RAM dealership network SUCKS. .. Ask any Denver-ite.
I really liked my time with the tundra, and in terms of customer care, Toyota has been great in the past standing behind their products.
Imagine if it had IRS, it would be like a Town Car.
Would likely tow and haul like one too if it went that direction.
Town car has a solid axle with watts link. I have a Town Car and it does drive really smooth thanks to the watts link.
It’d be like a sequoia
If you can make a straight axle setup tow and haul with coil springs, then there's no reason a IRS setup with coil springs can't do the same. Really the coil spring setups from Ram and Toyota are a compromise compared to Ford and GM's leaf spring setup when talking about handling heavy loads.
It rides so well because it's as heavy as a tank
I guess you missed the latter half of the video.
@@ALMX5DP no I watched the whole thing.
@@robertchapman4488 interesting conclusion then given the comparisons mentioned/tested.
The brakes really arent fun to use. I went to a 16" rotor with oversized 4 piston calipers and braking is now AMAZING.
This or an F150 XLT with a 5.0??
5L all day
Last gen Tundra is only better in one thing......reliability.
But hey one would think it shoulda been since that gen was literally unchanged for years.
The new gen is better in every other way,sadly that just brought it up to being average with the rest.
And the 5.7 sounds like a proper truck.
What do you think the reliability will be on this new engine when it gets over 100000 miles on it.
That is the golden question with these twin turbo charged engines. toyota has had a good reputation of standing behind their products so hopefully this engine will have good longevity.
I like everything about it but how it looks. If it wasn't damn ugly I might consider buying one.
Completely agree. the trucks looks very odd. the top of the line models can look okay but the average looking tundra looks boxy or something.
Ram still makes the smoothest riding half ton pickup
You never drove a 5.7L Tundra? You need to drive one and compare them.
yes id like to see that
I’ve driven both recently, several ‘21 TRD Pro’s (b/c I thought I wanted 2nd gen). Today I drove a ‘23 TRD Pro. It’s far superior, in EVERY respect. Handling, ride, acceleration, tech, all of it, the new gen is incredible. It just is - Toyota hit a home run!! Absolutely love it!
YOU SAID YOU WERE COMPARI MPG BETWEEN IT AND THE F150 BUT YOU NEVER SAID WHAT IT WAS
Best driver going down thw toad until… bang!
2months later, still waiting for what’s wrong with it.
I feel like Toyota paid you to make this after the last video...
lmao maybe.. No no in terms of driving feel I actually liked the truck.
I like turtles
Toyota can keep this version….
2nd gen tundra is the much better truck.
I own a 2022 and it leaps and bounds above the 5.7l..h0wevwr if u have one just keep it if u love but to say the previous is better and the current metric doesnt support it is wrong
My tundra work truck has 200k on it. When it dies I'll be buying a used 5.7 with 50k on it over this truck.
My brother has 24 like the way the truck rides, drives, runs good. Just the usual toyota probelms for me ugly and sucks gas compared to any other brand ive driven
Probably drives fine, as long as you didn't order the main bearing lockup option.
Here comes all the Toyota fan boys!!! P.S ugliest truck on the market
Style is subjective, but other aspects seem relatively decent.
Well said, i have a 2009 tundra and it is better looking.
Looks are subjective Right models and color they’re some of the best looking trucks out there imo. There’s a silver capstone in my area with some aftermarket add-ons and slightly larger tires it’s the best looking truck around. Guy told me that owns it he gets compliments all the time
Beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone. 😂
What's a 3.4 lol ridiculous.
Garbage with garbage turbo😂😂😂😂
I mean the turbos are what they are lol
100K+ RECALLED and Toyota has NO FIX.. Garbage!! Can’t beat 5.7L v8.. Toyota has Destroyed the Tundra and it’s Reliability Reputation..
My 2021 tundra 5.7 V8 is a much better truck.
How is it much better?
Longer lasting yes, but the new one is better in every other way.
You don't see the Gen 1 Tundra guys have so much animosity towards Gen 2 Tundras. For whatever reason anyone that has a 2nd Gen Tundra just hates on the 3rd Gen. People forget that when the 3URFE first came out in 2007, it was snapping camshafts, Air injection pumps were failing, among other things. But Toyota figured those issues out and it became reliable. Just like I think this V35A-FTS will eventually become a solid engine.
@@jza80king
I've been having my '08 since new. My truck has never been in the shop. Not one problem so far. I have my eye on the 3rd gen though. It's the only 1/2 ton on the market i'd buy ,v6 or not.
He doesn’t know. He’s just making a statement based entirely opinion and no factual information.
Interior is ugly. Plus, center screen, looks like Toyota just dropped it in, rather than fit it in. And if you don't pay up, Toyota puts in a stupid small screen with a huge plastic frame. And last, be careful spinning the tires on ice up there in Canada... you don't want to break it. 😉
🤡
It's ugly
chevy 2500's are ugly - this is only moderately ugly lol
