I bought a 2018 Lexus 19600 miles. Has a vibration under the passenger seat. Notice a little under the driver seat. Previous owner loved curbs. My mechanic is thinking motor mounts. What do you think?
It's a Ned Rig!
TESLA SUCKS! TOYOTA ROCKS! WE ARE A TOYOTA FAMILY. You take care of them they will last forever. 2 made in JAPAN. 1 made in Canada. 2013 TOYOTA TACOMA. 4 W/D.

The way our relations with China are eroding we might not buy a lot of things from them in the future...
I have a 2007 Tundra with the 5.7L V8 that I bought used in 2015 for $12,000. Great truck. Currently has 257,000+ miles and I hope to make it to a million. 😃
Had my 07 since new. 1 blend valve $600 repair in 15 years. That's it besides maintenance....what more can you ask for?
I just paid 12k for a 2011 with 240k miles.. runs perfectly
@@swearengin1111111111 milage?
Hey, I'm a Toyota MDT, yes these are very durable trucks. The 5.7 is very, VERY reliable. All I suggest is Synthetic oil changes every 5,000 and install a trans cooler!!
@Les Reeves Blend
College kid here, my dad gave me his 2002 sr5 tundra v8 and it runs like a beauty. Not the best looking truck but a hell of a good one with no problems at all. Currently have it at 367k miles 💪🏼
That's impressive.
Impressive 👏
It’ll last forever.
Nicely
Not a truck but I had an 02 Toyota Camry LE standard i bought for $1,200 & imo it is the Greatest year for camries. The interior was extremely roomy & the trunks are giant. It had 240k i sold it with 280k for $1,200. Same price i bought it for after 2 years of me driving it. I didn't want to sell it she ran like a brand new car. I never had to fix anything, ever! But i didn't pass for my license in time & i needed a place to live so i dold it for down deposit money. She sold in the first month if sitting on the side of the road. The very first person to stop & test drive bought it
Edit: this was 2018 when i bought it
Bought a Tundra Limited v8 first year they made them in January of 2000. 23 years later 225,000 miles and it's going strong. Had it parked in a shipping container for 3 years at one point. Put in a new battery and it started up immediately. Incredible truck.
I bought a new 2017 Tundra SR double-cab with the 4.6L. Six seasons and 50k miles later I’m still in love. I’ve always said it’s the “last real truck.” No gimmicks, steelies, AC, 4x4, Bluetooth and dual bench seats. It’s all anyone needs. We only use it to tow our 6000LB Parker pilothouse boat, road trips (smooth as a Lincoln), and to tow an enclosed trailer. I should have it for another 10yrs easy. Way to go, Toyota cheerleader Scotty!
That’s my truck! - thanks Scotty, and thank you everybody for the kind words.
My son has one and loves it!!!!
It better not have a payment
You are one smart man, those are million mile trucks.
@@hankhill3417 1500 bucks a month most likely 🤮
@@unclejemima9079 the note doesn't have to be that much. I just got a 2023 F150 for $59k or $65k after tax and the note is $1045 for 66 months.
Got a 2012 Tundra. Love it ! It has 150,000 and runs wonderful. Ain’t getting rid of it .
👍 😎
Mine is a 2016 and all I've done to it is 1 set of new tires and 2 batteries and 1 blinker bulb.
Few months watching Scotty and all I can say is: just love what you do!
My 2014 toyota tundra has 266k miles and still running strong
They have one around the area I live that broke 1,000,000 miles
Most Toyota's get 300k
$60,000 for a used truck is absolute insanity.
I agree but as long as people are buying them the price will continue to rise
😅100% people are nuts spending 900 too 1k a month on used vehicles. Even new vehicles unless you use your truck for work to make big money i.m.o
Thank yo scotty I have had one for 1 year. It's 2011 but still the best truck I have ever owned.
Why you got rid of it, because the gas mileage ❔️
They wanted a ram instead
@@naturallyodd5580 lmfao....I hope they didn't sell a toyota to get a ram...
@@icosthop9998 they never said they sold it......
They sold the Toyota for a ram Silverado
I had a 2000 Tundra SR5. It had 356,000 miles on it when my son totaled it a year and a half ago. Toyota even put a new frame under it due to recall in 2017. I’d still be driving it if it hadn’t been totaled. So - I went out and bought a used 2014 1794 Edition Tundra with the 5.7 V-8. It had 34,000 miles on it when I bought it. I love it!
Now you wouldn't be giving your new tundra to your son
I have a 2021 1794, I friggin love it
Just bought a 2018 model last year with only 24k miles.First long trip was from Central Valley, CA to Salt Lake City, UTAH. It was very comfortable driving it. Gas was 18mpg highway. Not bad at all. This year again went to Seattle, WA. Next time probably east coast.😎
60k. Price Includes:
One 2021 Toyota Tundra
Two quarts of Astroglide
One extra-large shop towel
One unique feature I really like is the slide down rear window.
they had that on the tundra 20 years ago
2012 F-150 Ecoboost with 233,350 and still going strong. Zero drivetrain issues
(Knock on wood)changed the oil four times a year and run it on 92 octane
Glad to hear I was reading about the 2011 eco boost as being reliable. Just hard to trust it'll last with taking to Ford mechanics.
Such a fun truck to drive. Brings a smile driving on a daily basis. Great for long hauls.
Special ordered a 2021 Platinum Tundra in June of 2021. Mine arrived at the dealer the first week of August 2021. Paid $56K for mine with every available option. Love my Tundra. Use it to pull my 7K lb camper and it will drag it anywhere I want to go. As of today I have 18,700 miles on mine.
My 4Runner (4WD, 5-speed manual) is 25 years old, has over 200K miles on the clock, and still runs perfectly! I would take it cross country any day, no problem! If it weren’t beginning to rust (this is MA), I’d keep her forever.
2 reasons why I bought my 21' 1794 back in Dec of 20'....
1-my retirement gift to myself.
2-found out that they're not making the V8 anymore, jumped on that. These new tundras are nice... On the inside.... Under the hood, different story. They definitely won't outlast the older models.
It's like the new models and old models swapped quality of interior for quality of engine. Though, the interiors still aren't all that great imo
I congratulate you sir, good for you. In my case, I retired in 2018, and bought squat! It was my goal to buy myself a truck for all the hard work but unfortunately its never happened. I have nothing to show for it. But I'm happy for you, really. 👊
@@rcgeneration824 thank you! It was actually sort of spur of the moment sort of thing. I was just lucky my credit was decent, but I still have my bills 🙄. I'm doing side jobs to pay for that truck. But thanks again!
Love my 2005 Tundra SR5. Bought used in 2009 for 19k.
Best vehicle I ever purchased. Bought with 40k miles now I have only 150K miles. Two things rusted on it, the exhaust and the rear diff cover. Had both replaced not much other repairs.
i have the same truck, year. best truck i ever had,
135k. sweet as can be.
'07 Silverado here. 310,000+ miles on it currently.
Just wanted to throw this out there for some variety in the comments.
Love my 2020 Tundra SR5 with the 5.7. I had the option of buying any half ton on the market and went with the Tundra due to simplicity and reliability. I also have it stuck in my brain that a full size truck needs that V8 rumble
Here's to watching Scotty 30 years from now!
Love my 2015 V8 limited. Never selling it. Runs perfect. No rattles, very solid. 130000km in the North and every time I look at it it looks better.
@Worldly Rider 130,000 km that is a BABY. That thing is gonna go another 4-500,000 km probably, possibly more. Those things are tough.
@@Blakecryderman7244 that’s the plan
@@jkpupo1 awsome
I can’t believe this, Scotty! I have that SAME truck and I was planning a trip to RI to come see you so I could do what this guy did! Same color, same options - everything the same. I bought it in TX, I want to drive it for 30 years, I paid over just 60 for it (but mine only had 4 thousand miles when I bought it - 10k now) - this guy is my doppelgänger! I’m so sad I’ll never make it onto your show now, but I do have to say, it made me feel really good to see what you titled this video.
where you at man? its my truck lol. i'm in CT
How is it? Ive been wanting one so bad but I'm hesitant to put that much money into a truck.
@@johnwebster9312 it's the last v8 Toyota truck so much worthy like fj cruiser and land cruiser
@@johnwebster9312 I just buy Toyota Tacomas used and they last 600k miles if you change motor oil + filter + PCV Valve every 5K miles, Coolant every 100K/5 years, Transmission Fluid every 60K miles/3 years, Rear/Front differential Fluid every 15K-30K miles, TransferCase Fluid every 20K miles.
Grease ball joints, yolks every 100K miles.
Your Tacoma will last 800K miles.
@@johnwebster9312 if you can afford it - get it. You won’t be disappointed
I have no idea why people pay big $ for trucks when they have small beds. Defeats the whole point of a truck.
The culture is different in different countries and regions.
Who cares bigger is better
@@kevinkidneyy Yes
I dont know if I'd ever feel good paying 70k for a vehicle,, I'd absolutely love having it but I can't afford it and if I could im just not sure I could live with myself paying the same for my house.
Some people buy trucks strictly for towing capabilities and some for clearance for winter driving. Not everyone buys a truck for the same reason. Which is clearly why an abundance of options are out there.
Just bought a Lexus 2005 rx330 with 187 thousand miles for 5500 nice looks brand new and drives so smooth
Pretty good buy particularly if it was in good condition.
Yep V8 all the way!! Keeping my 2020 Tunny forever.
Me too
I had the option to buy a '22 or the '21 Tundra TRD Pro. Bought and LOVE the '21 TRD Pro. Bought it at 6K miles for 62K- and worth every penny.
I have 2007 Tundra. Bought it brand new. The older it gets the more I like it.
Don’t we all love a daily dose of watching Scotty Kilmer?❤
Yup
Not always, I watch them all the way through from start to finish. Like them or not.
This video he made is a keeper. 👌
yes
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Yes! Always!❤
I bought a 2021 tundra voodoo blue with an off road package brand new off the lot, it was one of 2 brand new tundras on the lot and the only one with the 4 doors. 4 miles on it when I got it, changed out the exhaust and I absolutely love it. The truck feels solid, great truck!
I have 180,000 miles on my 2013 Tundra SR5 4x4. It has been absolutely flawless and drives like it did brand new. Best truck I’ve ever owned. Just wish Toyota made an HD 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
Imagine if Toyota designed a diesel and slapped it in there for the US. That'd be a heck of a combo with the heavier overall truck.
Yep
@@noahgrot7041 not just a diesel, but a turbo diesel!😍
2013 is the best Tundra model ever
@@d.j.94 Agreed! But I'm selling mine....
Purchased a 21 Tundra once I heard the 22 was going to have a twin turbo V6. Love my 21 and have not had any problems at all since new. Have to agree with everything you’ve said Scotty!
So did I, but somebody just crashed into me head on.... Totaled. Truck smashed up nicely and kept me safe😥
@@stevieray1828 Damn dude, sorry to hear about your truck. important thing is that you made it safe. Hope you find another Tundra!
Retired mechanic and military motor sergeant now a commercial/residential builder. Everything you said about this Toyota are the same things I say about both my trucks. Ones a Chevy 2006 2500 with over 280,000 miles with two things your Toyota doesn't have an 8 ft box and a 6.7 Diesel. The other is a 2019 Ram 1500 5.7. Both are work trucks in pristine condition having required nothing more than basic maintenance.
You have been lucky with yours. everyone has an opinion but facts when it comes to Toyota reliability are indisputable. Respectfully, the GMs and Rams are not in the same league. Go to any auction, any used car sale and you see the market speak - Toyota and Honda are what the ppl bid for. Happy New Year 👍🏼!
@@aqz2000 I research vehicles new and older on a daily basis. Tundra a very good truck. But has Never in any of the top vehicle review sites I use in the last twenty years been #1. That said it has moved up even with Dodge for 2nd at Edmunds this last year ahead of Chevy Silverado as well the GMC Sierra. I have two friends with the Tundra's both have the 5.7 and only complaints is poor gas mileage. The one friend told me he cannot keep gas in it but loves the truck!
@@aqz2000 yep, not in the same league, he has two real trucks
Apples to oranges with your Chevy (also it’s a 6.6 LBZ Duramax), the Ram will never see 400k miles. The Tundra is hands down the most well built and longest lasting 1/2 ton truck ever made. Don’t take my word for it, look it up. The Hemi has the notorious “tick” and usually only lasts about 250-300k miles if you’re lucky.
'16 tundra with a 5.7 V8 myself. Same reason i bought mine. Needed the power for towing, and i knew i would last forever as long as I take care of it.
I just bought a 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road Six Speed Manual. I'm hoping to get at least 20 years out of it. Love it!
Seriously I agree, I personally own a 2017 crewmax tundra platinum with 220k ZERO FAILURES! ZERO ISSUES ZERO PROBLEMS. Prior Chevy avalanche that fell apart @ 45k AND I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK TO PROVE BOTH POINTS I MADE
Yup left GM years ago remember going in there and the parts counter guy telling me best advice I can give you is get all those AC Delco parts off that Cadillac and you might get 100 k out of it. Never bought another GM
Nice truck, I bought a 2002 Tacoma brand new and I'm still driving it. Every so often someone tries to buy it from me.
I have a 2018 tundra limited TRD Off-road and I love this thing super reliable got an exhaust on it and love this thing!
I have it in black and after two years of ownership i can tell you - it is the most well made truck. It isn’t the nicest or the fanciest. But if you want something that will last 400,000 miles….this might be the last one left.
Same here. I’ve got a black 2020. Great truck
Can’t wait to see you find one Scotty. When you know something is the best and you’ve earned it you deserve to have it.
He's not buying one....
I waited to see what the 2022 would be like. After seeing the full reveal and specs, I opted for a 2019 Tundra Limited TRD with 22k on the clock from one state over in the Rocky Mountain west.
Bought mine in March and paid sub-$50k for mine and basically traded my diesel Bison +$500 in doc fees.
I’m a Toyota guy, had all sorts over the years, easily my favorite truck and will run it forever.
I had a Tundra with the 4.7 V8 and it was a great truck , 24 mpg and lots of power. It was a 4X4 and all in all a fantastic truck for winters here in Canada.
My Dad said you can buy a lot of gas for the money you save getting a good deal or not spending on complex maintenance. Scotty is TRUTH.
While that's true, a lot can be said to buy a 15-17 f150 with the 5.0. You get the super reliable and powerful 5.0, and the stout 6spd auto. The 5.0 is faster, can tow more, and gets better mpg than the tundras like Scotty is talking about. I considered a tundra but the Ford in those years is simply better.
@@tomjahn6896 it wouldn't go a million miles like a toyota
@@RohanSanjith you sure about that?
@@tomjahn6896 it may go a million, but several transmissions later
@@RohanSanjith the Ford 6R80 is pretty much bulletproof. It is based off the zf tranny that was very well made, but even better. There's a reason it was put in the Super Duty's for so long. Even the prior 09-14 6R80's in f150's was excellent, with the only issues were fittings on the cooler. Easy fix for those, but that's not even an issue on the 15-17 5.0 f150's because that was revised. If this was the 10 speed, you maybe would have a point, but even then those are stout.
I drive nearly an identical tundra...it's my 2nd one and I absolutely love it. Traded my 1st one in at 305k and it ran PERFECT.

I got the 07 SR5 right out of the gate. It has 287 k runs great. Everything still works. I haul a 35 ft TT, haul fire wood, two track all day long......it's a beast. It gets 16 mpg. Never left me stranded. I change oil at 3k, diffs 30k, tranny 60k. I put BF Goodrich All terrain, great tires.
I am curious what Toyota recommends on oil & oil change frequency? Our 18 RAV4 is every 10,000 miles, synthetic of course.
@@MarkHicks326 - If you drive all highway miles and can put 10k on the odometer within 6 months, that works. If you take frequent short trips and only put 10k per year on the car? You're going to do damage.

2019 Tundra Limited Crewmax over here !
Precovid purchase brand new in June 2019 thanks Scotty for the recommendation !
I made a couple of purchases you recommend already.
2016 Tundra, 177k on the odo living in the mountains of Colorado. 6 inch lift, 35's, steel bumpers, winch, intake, exhaust and other stuff. I've done off roading, hauled wood for fire mitigation, towed our 26ft TT over mountain passes and driven across the country with it multiple times....all at 10 mpg. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
10 mpg? That's hecka good for towing lol
@@nonooohlii That's with no towing. I calculate around 5mpg otherwise. lol
@Moto Beemer oh, then 10 mpg is awful lol.
Bought my 2021 Tundra in 2021. Same color as the one in the video- only an SR5 double cab but still nice. Use it for towin’ and tourin’ 15000 miles on it now and hope to have it at least as long as it’s garage mate, a 2004 Chevy Express 1500 conversion van, now in semi retirement ( no more towing for her). Absolutely no problems with the Tundra so far.
If you use it primarily for towing put a transmission cooler on it. They took the transmission cooler off back in 2018. You can buy kits that have a transmission cooler and thermostat they’re not hard to install. I installed one in my 2021 tundra they’re not hard to put in at all. Well worth it I saw transmission temperatures dropped dramatically and that is the life of your transmission were talking about. I also have a 2017 tundra and that truck came with the transmission cooler already installed. So I could compare the temperatures of the transmission and see the differences that’s what made me install the cooler.
@@stevenlefebvre2991 That's good advice.
My dad bought a new 1971 regular cab GMC with the 307 motor and 3 on the tree manual transmission.
That truck was a workhorse. He used it pulling a horse trailer.
It had over 300K miles on it when he traded it in. Only did the regular maintenance on it. The original clutch was still in it and was not slipping.
My grandpa had a 79 F100 with the 302 and a 4 speed that he bought new and he did construction and drove it everywhere and he also hauled a lot of stuff with it. Even locked the engine up one time but was able to get it unstuck. When he sold the truck it had 330,000 miles on it and all that was done was basic maintenance. Old trucks were just built like tanks
I think they purposely make the new trucks to not last long.
I think Scotty said once , they want you to buy a truck every 6 or 7 years.

I wish you were my neighbor. You could fix my truck while I cooked our dinner on the grill and we had some beers. You're a fuckin genius and everyone needs an honest mechanic like you. You're the best. Whatever you charged me would be money well spent. I hope your videos are well monetized because they are informative and entertaining. 👍
I have a 2017 tundra limited with 90k miles on it. In my experience the engine actually has become smoother once it was past 50k miles. Insides are classy, thing is simple to maintain and the looks are quiet attractive. In terms of towing it is probably the best in its class.
Tundra is a great truck. But not best in class towing.
It might be worst in its class for towing 🤣
I just looked it up and your truck ranked dead last in towing even got beat out by the Nissan 🤣🤣
@@Oogiddyboogway i towed 10k lbs trailer from florida to seattle and felt like the truck had lot more in it than the rated capacity. Never towed with f150 but will be surprised if f150 can better the experience
Best truck I ever had and I've had all makes! 2005 tundra 4wd.
Thank you Scotty!!!!
I test drove a 2021 Tundra this weekend and I LOVED IT!!!!.... The price and only part time 4 wheel drive...he is trying to convince me to go with the Chevy......But we just watched a few of your wonderful videos...and now he is researching Tundra's.
(We live in the UP....most of the winter the roads are patchy with snow..dry...ice...)
I'll let you know if I get one!
Love my 2014 SR5 fully dressed with snorkel, cast iron bumpers with wench and led fog lights. Had it a year and a half now. 130,000 miles. She goes anywhere.
I have a 2010 TRD 5.7 Tundra. I love it. No complaints, no breakdown or regrets about it in 225,000 so far. It pulls my lawn care trailer all day & hasn't had an issue. No rust either.
Holy crap! $60K? That guy is friggin nuts.
Why?
Also, well-to-do.
Too much money
It will last 15 years easy.
I always like how they justify it to the wife by saying they can fit the kids in the back like it's a practical purchase... The dude just wants a performance truck/toy. Nothing wrong with that but its the truth. I am sure that I could "fit" my kids in the back of a GT-350R with some creative maneuvering.
I've driven a V6 tacoma 2019 with 8k in tow and got anywhere from 8 to 12 mpg. Also drove a 2020 F450 powerstroke twin turbo and got around 15 mpg towing around 10k plus lbs. Yes its diesel vs gas but still thats a huge difference.
i think more importantly its a taco vs a F450...
My F250 6.7 PowerStroke gets 19mg unloaded. Obviously gets worse pulling something. Torquey little devil too.
I like how at 6:04 he points out the ford nonchalantly so he doesn’t record himself running the red light for quality footage, love this guy XD
2013 Tundra sr5 lifted with BDS suspension and 35s 105,000 miles and absolutely zero issues! Just down right reliable! Resale value is insane on 2nd generation tundras! Scotty is right about these trucks!
My 2004 buick century is still going strong after 19 years. No dash lights, just gas, oil, tires and brakes and a couple small odds and ends have been needed through the years. Its paid for itself more times over than I know.
I had an 88 Oldsmobile regency 98 in high school. Those boats float forever!
@@mrsmokestacks21 😸also you could get busy on the back seat ……or front 🎉and not suffer a severe cramp or worse.👍🏻😸👍🏻.
They are great trucks. Have a 2018 with the TRD Off Road Package. Looked at buying a 2021 TRD Pro but used the extra $20k to upgrade the suspension and put a Magnuson Super Charger on it. Love it! My son decided to just get a 2021 Pro himself (didn't want to pay for the premium fuel). Best trucks ever!
Classic trucks are the best trucks ever...
13 MPG is outrageous. I have a 2008 Chevy HD Diesel and get closer to 25 MPG . Presently has over 250,000 and never encountered any serious problems. The Toyota Tundra just wasn't enough of a truck to pull my 5th wheel.
I have a 2017 and was thinking about putting that super charger on it ,did it make a big difference in performance?
Did the super charger make a big difference im thinking about doing it to my 2017?
@@frazergeno4557I mean diesel will always outperform gas trucks on MPG especially when towing, but I love them chevy’s.
I love my 2017 Tundra 4x4. I take good care of it but use it as a truck and it’s never failed me!
Have a 07 limited tundra , been in the family since 09 best truck ever never gave a single issue except for the radiator of course it’s got 260k miles now and runs like a beauty pulls like it did when it was younger and everything held up amazingly. This truck was used for its built purpose, towing excavators every other week enjoying the truck of course, maintenance and upkeep is key.
For every time Scotty actually meant “I’m buying one” he’d have Jay Leno’s garage by now 😂
Just got a 2007 Tundra and I love it. I'm hoping to keep it for the rest of my life.
I'm still driving my '95 4WD Suburban that I bought new 27 years ago. My daily driver is a 2014 Mazda 6. Not ready to replace the Suburban yet (only has 158k miles) but I've always considered the V8 Tundra as the next vehicle for me. I have zero interest in a turbocharged V6. But this close to retirement, dropping $50-60k for a used vehicle is gonna require some serious thought.
It's not a good idea.unless it's a classic... those go up in value..and they're made.better
Don't get rid of that Suburban! Especially with that low amount of miles on it unless your wealthy enough to not care about paying the rediculious prices for newer vehicles today. Or someone offers you an awesome price for one of the best vehicles ever made, the Suburban. Heck I plan on keeping my 1994 K2500 6.5L Suburban for life if I can manage it.
If you baby that suburban it will last the rest of your life. The transmission might go out eventually if you're towing a lot, but their cheap and common. If it's in good shape, I'd keep it.
@@jmccormick1490 Still in great shape. Just installed a second battery to power a camping fridge and other necessities for photo/camping excursions. Still a good looking vehicle, even after this many years.
Found a 2021 SR5 with 27k miles. Jumped on it for $37.5k. Pulls my RV effortlessly. It’s not a TRD or 4wd but I could not be happier with the v8.
I genuinely appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on these types of trucks
These 2nd generation Tundras are million mile trucks. Super reliable.
The only bad thing with the TRD Tundra is it doesn’t have a rear locker, never understood why the top of the line off road doesn’t come with one.
Recently purchased 2020 Tundra with 35,000 miles
I love it
I drove one two weeks ago that had over 566,000 miles on it. It drove great. Incredible
I totally agree with you about the Toyota tundra I bought two of them one for my wife and one for me. When you drive them you can see how good they are compared to the other half ton trucks. Plus they are built like a tank underneath. I love these trucks and I take care of them very well. I want them to last 500,000 miles. I also agree with you the new tundras are not half as good.
I have a '22 Tacoma TRD sport 6MT (thank you Toyota) in the same color (Lunar Rock). It's a pretty unique color, even within the flat gray category. Under various lighting conditions it's sometimes a flat primer gray, other times more minty. Plus it seems to hide dirt and salt well. IMO it looks great on both trucks and the 4Runner, but I don't love it on the RAV4. Of course tastes vary, but it seems LR has been a popular choice.
Hides salt? You never want to hide salt...you want to get it off..
@@richsweeney1115 Okay, you win this round. However, you cant always have it clean 100% of the time.
@@b.f.ironworks4609 lol,I know..I just mean I'd rather not leave it long,
I have a 2014, the year my daughter was born. I got a buck thirty five on it and it is also a Texas pickup truck! Love it.
I watched this video 5 months ago. I bought a Tundra 4 months ago. Its still the best truck ever.
Hey Scotty,
I appreciate that you explain why you dislike turbo charged engines. Why do you believe that turbo engines really won't last and just blow up? I know this was an issue with older turbo motors in the 90's but with most turbos running roller bearings instead of journals and much better heat and pressure management and lubrication its hard to believe that a modern f150 ecoboost will be a junkyard king in a few years. What are your thoughts? Additionally, any engine driven hard and abused will fail earlier and get worse fuel economy, that's the nature of stress and wear.
Those f150s are already junkyard material. I know more than one that have failed miserably before 80k...
The Tundra V8 is a beast!!!
Always taking me to school when I watch! Thank You.
Lots of truck hate videos out there. Glad this guy is sticking it to them.
I have a 2013 and I absolutely love it. Yes they have terrible gas mileage, but the torque is honestly one of my favorite aspects about the truck. I have a 4x4 and I rarely need to put it into four wheel drive. At this point, it’s a challenge for me to see if I can go through some of these relatively rigorous trails with even having to switch it on.
I’ve got a 13’ 4.6L 2WD. Never been stuck, I live in North GA mountains it’s all inclines, gravel, and mud. Never put anything other than street tires on it even though I prefer A/Ts.
I just bought a 2013 Tundra Rock warrior.
31,000 original miles!
Also purchased a 21 Tundra. Love the truck and it power and reliability. Will probably be the last truck I’ll ever own with the disappointing direction of the new trucks. Love the V8.
Just do a good job of maintaining it. And it will last you a long time. 30 years and 500,000 miles is a long time.
My 2002 Tacoma has 380000 miles. Still runs awesome.
FYI a popular upgrade on the 21 is a transmission cooler I did it to mine it really helped bring down the transmission temperature and I’m sure it will increase the longevity. My 2017 tundra has the transmission cooler they took it off for the 19 version forward. Not a problem I installed a high-quality aftermarket cooler with the factory thermostat and factory hoses and piping. All available on the Internet with a kit. Definitely worth installing much lower transmission temperatures now. Just like my 2017. I also plan on keeping these trucks till I’m dead.
Love you..... Giving us the best! formation... Watch went I can.
KEEP IT UP..... The big industry probably don't like you.....
KEEP IT UP PLEASE.... FROM CANADA.
I own a tundra 2009 model with 690,000 k miles still running strong
Wow. What do you do for a living?
I'm debating between a 21 or 22 TRD pro now. Leaning hard towards the 21. The new ones look tamed. The 21 just looks like a big aggressive truck. Not to mention all the great things I've heard about the 21's.
So what did u get??
I fully agree with you. I have owned Ford's, Chevy's, Nissan and Dodge and out of these I liked the Nissan Titan the best, I owned 2. I purchased a 2016 Ford F150 with the Ecoboost and really had no issues, but the paint quality and fit and finish of the truck was just not up to par. I did like the motor though. I put a lot of miles on my vehicles in a short amount of time. The best MPG I got out of my F150 was 22 mpg and that was rare. If your running 75-80 on the interstate (like I do), it dropped to 17. I had never owned a Toyota, but know a lot of people with Tundra's and they swear by them. I decided to ditch the F150 and purchased a 2020 Tundra Platinum 4X4 Crew Cab. It was somewhat hard to find. IMHO, it was the best deal out there vs the F150 Platinum and Chevy/GMC. I absolutely love everything about the truck and don't think it is outdated at all. I did not want to wait on the New V6 turbo model, I wanted the tried and true V8. It lacks no power and believe it or not, on the road running 75-80 I am getting 19 mpg. The more "crap" they put on these newer trucks, the more problems. Enjoy the new truck!
Yes BFG Ats are not loud at all. I have them on my truck, suv, and jeep and they last a long time as long as your pressures and alignment are good. Now the mud terrains by bfg are a little louder. But they last a long time too.
Live in Austin, bought my '19 1794 new in July of '20. I was able to get the TRD Pro dual exhaust, spray-in bedliner, and the heavy rubber bed mat, all for under $50k.
I love the TRD Pro features, but I've added similar side steps, satin black wheels and bigger M/T tires. It's such a great truck!
A new Tundra that's loaded with every option other than the Fox suspension for under $50k? It sure keeps me happy. One of the best things I've done in years.
I had a 2018 Tundra Platinum and sold it to the local Toyota dealer for $2800 more than what I paid for it 3 years previously. I did love that truck but I love my 2022 Silverado 2500 with the Duramax engine and 10 speed transmission even more. So many trucks , so little time...
I thought the TRd was missing the “u”!
This won’t age well 👆🏻
😂😂😂 damn, just wait till you have to be in and out the dealership for def system issues lol
Thing is that Silverado HD is so much more of a truck than the Tundra. Tundra is more reliable (the past gen) but not by much when it comes to HD series. You lose some you gain some 🤷♂️. I know cause I own both trucks for my business
Good day Scotty! 🏁Love the V8 Tundras!
Not in my world, i need a real truck to haul my 5th wheel and enclosed trailer! You really need to sit down and see what trucks should really be capable of. The Tundra in my opinion has such a good track record is because it never does truck things because its incapable!
I bought my 2021 Lunar Rock in March of 2021 right when the semiconductor shortage started. I was lucky enough to get the truck for MSRP at 55K. Two years later I have 25K miles on it and still love it as much as the first day I bought it.
Well Scotty my 2017 Ram, 4x4, 1500, 5.7 Hemi (395 horsepower and 410 ft/ lbs of torque gives me 27.0 to 27.4 mpg at 55 mph and 19/20 city. But I do have the highway axle which is 3.21 ratio and 20 inch wheels. Wouldn't trade it for any other truck.
Ok, call us on 2030 and let us know how the truck is doing. Good luck.
And the tundra will flat out run it,and still be on the road 3X longer than any ram
Junk D O D G E Junk D O D G E Junk D O D G E
My 2019 has been getting 20 mpg, mainly highway and I have a 800 lb 6 ft commercial topper on it. Very nice truck.
2019 with the 5.7 motor? mine gets no more than 16 not pulling anything..
Perfect pick Scotty.. since I have a 2021 Limited CREWMAX Love the Tundra !!
what an incredible wealth of knowledge you have and give.
