Still Here After All These Years: 2021 Toyota Tundra on Everyman Driver

- čas přidán 7. 02. 2021
- Shoppers looking for a versatile full-size truck should check out the Toyota Tundra. Powered by a V8 engine, the Tundra has a max towing capacity of 10,200 pounds and can carry up to 1,730 pounds in its bed. Six available trim levels allow consumers to select the right Tundra for them, whether their priority is work, road trips, off-roading, or luxury. Some rivals offer more refinement, but few can match the Tundra's reputation for reliability. No matter which Tundra one goes with, it will come with Toyota's trademark 5.7-liter V8 engine. The engine is used in other Toyota SUVs and has a reputation for delivering smooth and effortless power in various situations. The engine produces 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. It pairs to a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode, uphill/downhill shift logic and a towing and hauling mode. Two- and four-wheel-drive are available. The SR and SR5 have a 26.4-gallon fuel tank, while the upper trims get a 38-gallon reservoir. The EPA estimates the Tundra with two-wheel-drive should return 13/18/15 mpg city/highway/combined. The Tundra is available in six trim levels: SR, SR5, Limited, TRD Pro, Platinum, and the 1794 Edition. Two body styles are available -- extended cab and crew cab. One of the things that set the Tundra apart from many rivals is its standard driver safety technology. Every new Tundra comes with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, and pedestrian detection.

He said Ram Ford Nissan Chevy have a big lead on the Toyota Tundra. I agree...they lead the way in depreciation and on to the crusher.
LOL! Aint that the truth
You hit the nail right on the head!!
amen homie
Lead when it comes to repair and maintenance
Lead in costs and failures
"Nothin fancy...nothing fancy."
Exactly what I like 👍
Tried and true old tech keeps this as being a reliable ride.
With significantly less payload , less towing and less mileage. I’m fine with the potential turbo at 175,000 miles
@@kensporalsky3784 Some buyers don’t care a lot about payload and towing. Different buyers have different uses for their trucks.
Im on my third tundra and they’re such dependable stable rides. My 21 now has 60k miles with zero issues. Drive lots of gravel in southeast iowa and they just take it.
Wouldn’t trade my 1794 for anything available today. It does everything I ask of it effortlessly and it’s dead reliable while being luxurious. Fuel mileage be damned! Who cares.
That's right, if you want a good fuel economy truck don't get a truck haha
I feel the same about my Black Platinum....
Just bought a 2021 1794 4x4.. Don't give a damn about the mpg.. I've been driving Ford's my whole life, and none of these trucks have great real life mpg.
I love the fact that it has just the tech I need, and damn, I love it doesn't have the auto start/stop! Tech is getting too much, and it's all breaking down.. that's why I went Tundra!
Nothing beats a Tundra,hold value runs forever
I will be honest, Tundra is way better built, and for those who are true truckers nuts, knows this. The rest of trucks manufacturers, are just to make profits..
You can literally see the higher quality of the materials used compare it to videos of Ford ram and Chevy interiors. And when I say quality I don’t mean fancy looking, I mean you can almost feel the robust materials in your hands.
I would wait for the 2022-2023. I had my Tundra 5.7 since 2006-2007. Of course, it is still running with over 300,000. A starter was changed and a few tires...
The new models will be turbocharged v6..they won’t have the lifespan of the v8s
@@jerryware1970 maybe not a million miles, however, if I’m going to trust anyone to make a relatively reliable turbo v6, it’s Toyota.
Toyota Tundra
My 1st was the 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2019!
Needless to say I Love the Tundra's!
I’m a Toyota fan. I looked into all 1/2 ton trucks and after I drive a Trailboss it was was a slam dunk for me. I predict that I will be back in a Tundra with in 10 years but for now I couldn’t be happier. Had my boss a year and I absolutely love it. Comfortable. Efficient. Reliable. Affordable.
As much as I like Toyota, this is a truck for a real need! Beautiful, dependable, roomy, everything I want in a truck, but I wouldn’t trade even up, for my Ridgeline, because it fits my needs, better! There are a lot of great trucks out there, so everyone should get the truck that fits their need, just need a great decision, not an ego trip!
my need is to hear a nice v8 :)
Ridgeline and Tundra in the same sentence... you heard it here 1st folks😂
I know it. I had two and I loved them, really rialibity.
I have the same combination. 1st gen ridgeline through college and now a Tundra once I got a real job. Both amazing machines
Isn’t a ridgeline just an odyssey with a bed?
OLD SKOOL RULES!!
people don't get Toyota. If it is proven to work - it works.
I subscribed because of the little guy at the end! Keep it up!
Love love love the tundra. HATE the fuel economy. Not that trucks are meant to be gas Gods but I feel like 16 city and maybe 20-21 highway would seal the deal on everyone. Most reliable truck out there.
The chrome actually looks nice when the bulge around the grill is painted. I like it
The driver’s side storage box is also insulated for keeping ice for drinks and food etc with two drain plugs in the bottom too.
The only thing I hate about my tundra is the poor gas mileage. But otherwise, I love it!
Small price to pay for all the other benefits
What MPG does your Tundra get in the city and highway? Does it improve if you're lighter on the gas pedal?
Just about 1 min in.....stated "ford-ram and Chevy have advantages over the tundra.....yes they do....ram and Chevy definitely have the market cornered in cam and lifter failier...and Ford well.....timing chain and tensioners needed every year if you use them...
My 2011 tundra at 255,000 miles still runs and shifts the same as 50,000 miles.towing in the mountains 10 times a years with lift and 315 70 17 tires.
Has just now showed signs of the rear main seep.
I work for a large used car dealer...19 techs in 2 garages...5 dedicated Ford and 4 Chevy techs just to handle the amount of repairs needed to these models from cam and lifter failures and timing chain issues....transmissions....
My tundra will see miles most diesel trucks will not see...what you have there is the last year model of a known platform that has been proven to out last its competition in durability and reliability...
The only thing that aggravates me about Toyota is the fact that they removed the trans cooler starting in 2018 ,, PS I believe there’s a kit to where you can install one on your truck which I think is important especially if you’re going to haul, keep in mind this is just my opinion ! I love my 2016 Tundra SR5 4x4. 👍
Best truck to buy, less technology less stuff to break
I have a 2012 with the 4.6L and 6speed, and I think it’s great.
Love mine it’s a keeper
The Tundra is the epitome of "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"...
I got mine this year 2021. Cause next year 2022 has no v8 ☹.
I understand about the mileage but I am buying Reliability.
That is what dodge has let me standing in the mud on. Their transmission are NOT Reliable. Yes I know you can have transmission problems with anything. So I gave dodge another chance and was left in the mud with my second Automatic transmission . So I went to Toyota Tundra crewmax. I only have 1108 miles on it so time well tell.
Nice review/video sir, Q5 audio, Toyota #1. How about the 2022 TUNDRA?
So much better than 2022. On my bucket list!
Reasons to get the Tundra:
1. Reliable and capable 5.7 V8 that will do any job you need and do it well
2. Still looks good, after all these years
3. Price is very reasonable. Even loaded copies go for under $50k
4. Resale value is excellent, best in class.
Reasons not to get a Tundra:
1. Other trucks are better, feature for feature, power for power
2. Tech is ancient. Harder to use, less versatile than others
3. Horrific fuel economy, worst in class
4. The Tundra will be replaced for 2022 in less than a year
I got the 2021 tundra specifically because it was being replaced in 2022. I want my 5.7, I highly doubt the mpg difference will be significant enough to have to worry about turbo failures
@@Lawtonfl How many turbo failures has Toyota produced? That manY?
@@InvestBetter. None... biggest crock ever. They will be totally reliable.
My 21 crewmax 5.7 gets 17-20mpg Plenty good for me
@@Lawtonfl you can’t go wrong with the 5.7.
That being said, I believe the gas mileage on their turbo V6 will be much better. Not to mention I’m with the other guy.. I strongly believe they will be very reliable.
The 5.7 liter displacement vibes good with me. So does 5 speeds.
I think if Toyota added the 360 camera and one for the trailer and if they put an 8 speed transmission in it so it could get a little better mpg if they just added more creatures they could have gotten by with a couple more years of this current gen.
I refuse to trade my v8 for 6+😂
TRD pro. Platinum and 1794 you’ll never see them for sale around 50k
I love Tundras but cannot stand that i cant get a crew max with a long bed.
I am going to buy one of these this next thursday. An SR5 with off road package in Lunar Rock. Can't wait.
How much u payed for it?
@@UAkovalchuk Ended up getting a different color because they didn't have the Lunar. I traded a POS chevy in, the first and last Id ever own. Truck itself was around 47, but I got a 28k trade-in.
I installed a Flowmaster outlaw exhaust system, debadged it, and installed a Tesla Style 13" Android tablet radio head unit.
@@briarfox637 Enjoy that awesome truck! I’m always glad to see people buying this generation truck and not feeling like they have to get the 2022 because it’s new.
I love it. I’ve had it a few months now, 2400 miles, put a flowmaster on it, sounds incredible. Installed a 13” android tablet Tesla style radio.
In all honesty im glad I got a 2021 bc imo, the 2022 looks hideous. Looks like a chevy.
@@briarfox637 what color u get
IMO, the Tundra only needs a slight facelift and maybe a technology bump. I'd even say keep it largely the same or even a longer bed for the double cab.
This is the perfect vehicle for anything even a daily driver to your office job however the gas mileage kills it.
I had to buy a commuter for work, so I could keep this. The commuter cost less that what I'd pay for gas.
You may be quoting the gas mileage of a 4wd. I have a 2010 5.7L Sr5 4wd. 33” A/T tires, 2.5 in lift, metal skid plates, arb bumper, and 300 or so extra lbs in the bed/cab. My gas mileage is an average of 15 mpg city/highway driving at 65-70 mph. Highway is 18, and City is 12-13.
Can you lay down in the back seat like space enough for 5'11 tall?
So if you want a truck that is reliable,decently capable for 1/2 ton and low maintenance get a Tundra. If you want more technology and options but more repairs and higher maintenance get something else..
I'm trading in my 2017 GMC on a new 2021 Tundra S5 off road. My GMC is junk. Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.
Went across the scales at the local garbage dump behind a brand new f150 stx with a small eco boost engine in my 2011 Tacoma prerunner and weighed more than the Ford. He had 4 30gal bags of household garbage and I had 3. Guess his plastic oil pan and light duty 10 speed transmission was the difference
Well it’s definitely been touched since 2007 dude. Completely different body and interior in 2014.
I’m here looking because my new Ford is rusting under like crazy and I was told it’s by design and as intended.
Hear me out folks. Never owned a truck but recently picked up a 2003 Silverado 4.8. The gas mileage is the same as this Tundra. 13 city and 17 highway. I’m looking at trucks and really like the full size trucks. My pops had a Tacoma Trd long bed every option but 4x4 in 2013. Great truck but he eventually sold it since it wasn’t to comfortable for him. He said his 98 f-150 was more comfortable. I know Toyota’s are really dependable, looking to get a tundra but recently found out they are getting updated. Any thoughts? Wait for the new ones or get this one?
Now that they went to V6 turbos, what did you end up getting? We are looking to get back into a truck again and trading in our 2023 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE in the next year.
20 degree weather for a few weeks was rough since we live on a hill. We are going to be hunting for one of the V8 versions to avoid the complexity of these new Turbo - plus electric assist - straight to the torque converter - models they just released. Prefer tried and true over the latest upgrades.
I bought a 2010 tundra double cab long bed last year it had 92k and now it has 107k and trouble free I paid 16k for it I love my truck
ehh I have the same 2021 trail edition SR5 4x4 and if I take it easy going 65mph I'm getting 19mpg. Fuel economy is pretty ok, and I'm fine with paying more at the pump with less braking parts years from now. Plus it's made in Texas. What really pisses me off is the fact that the transmission doesn't have a freaking dipstick, servicing it is a pain!!!! and they removed the freaking tranny cooler a few years ago. Other thank that is this a great truck.
Most Toyotas don't have ATF dipstick anymore. Not sure why, but in my opinion it is a stupid thing to do which I never expected from Toyota.
Didn't know about the trany cooler removal.... why would you do that to a hawling work vehicle is beyond me, unless Toyota does not consider it a work truck, but a suburban office worker as their primary customer
Does anyone know what product that is at time stamp 3:41? It looks like storage bins over the wheel wells. I have never seen this before. Does anybody know a part number or link?
Those bins are part of the "trail edition" sr5 models.
Must be a fast tow truck for them to have a big lead.
Still sells with its age.
Hey everyone. I just got a 2020 Toyota tundra limited 5.7 V8.. should I put 87 gas? HELP
Best halfton on the market. 430 rear gear with max power at 3500rpm pulls like a dream and 6 speed is great always in the rite gear. It's a truck does what a truck is made for not the others with all the Foo Foo gadgets.There just mall crawling grocery getters cause when you use them for truck stuff they break. Drove all brands and tundra blows them all away.
Well said!!
are they really that bad on gas ?
Tech isn't everything and I think we have too high expectations of tech in vehicles these days. More tech adds more cost and potential problems down the road. Fuel economy isn't great but I'd pay that price for Toyota reliability. They are going to release the next gen of Tundra next year I think or soon after. So maybe some upgrades like fuel economy and transmission will show up then.
How can one praise reliability and ask for throwing away the bulletproof A760? 3UR-FE and A760 combo is what makes the Tundra reliable. In fact, A760 is even more reliable than the already very reliable engine.
It's the AB60F tranny not the A760.. do your research, I do believe the A760 is a 5 speed from the first gen
I test drove a 2021 TRD Pro today and I really wanted to love it but I couldn't. I couldn't believe that I wasn't driving a 12 year old truck. It was so boring. The exhaust sounded good, but it didn't go anywhere when I hit the gas. I know it's more reliable and that's why I want to love it but I just don't think I can buy it. It's even at a great price. 1st world problems, I guess.

Had a 2016 TRD Pro crew. The good: great ride because of the Pro suspension, and very comfortable seats. The bad: Cam tower leaks at 8,000 mi. No interior storage, either under, or behind rear seat. Low tech everything, sound systems junk. Terrible gas mileage. Only 1130 payload. Very loud clutch fan (engine). Fail small offset crash test with IIHS. Sold it with 10K miles. It’s going to take more than a V6 TT to catch the big three, and if Mike Sweers has anything to do with it, forget it.
Does the tailgate lock with the key fob?
No
@@nonooohlii thanks
My dad wants to get a truck with a lot of space, what would you recommend
@floyd watt thanks, he definitely doesn’t want a Ford and he might want a Chevy and Honda is like way out of the question. He was looking at a tundra so I was excited to see this video.
@floyd watt lol
Check out the Nissan Titan Warrior. It's a pretty awesome truck.
49K for the TRD Pro?
The other manufacturers may have a big lead on technology, but with that technology comes reliability issues. I'll go with reliability every time.
Less MPG but no trips to the dealer for repairs with the stupid cylinder deactivation & annoying stop/start.
If history is prologue then Toyota should put the OBDII plug right the dash next to the radio because you are going to need it. Toyota hid and ignored an expensive fuel pump issue for 10 years now with over 3.2 million recalls that do not cover all vehicles.
I own a 2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7 with 109k in dashboard looking to trade it for a newer model
It is a truck. Not a video game console. If you need a camera to hook up a trailer, you should not be pulling one.
If you want to keep your truck for a lifetime, buy Toyota v8.
And if you want to enjoy the experience buy a Ford.
@@kensporalsky3784 the coyote is a nice motor. 2015-2017 with the 6 speed was the best one
@@kensporalsky3784 Ford, ya maybe if you enjoy the experience of transmission problems… 2020 F-150 10 speed transmission owner. Been in the shop 7 times in 20k miles. Had the transmission replaced and it has transmission problems again 3k miles later and no towing. Strong engine but doesn’t mean anything if the transmission is junk. Looking for a Tundra now…
@@big10hunter42 must have gotten a bad one. 6000 miles towing 9500 lbs on my 2020 , 40,000 total miles and no issues. Best truck I’ve ever owned except maybe my 2000 7.3 F250
Yup, they may have the lead on cosmetics & tech but reliability, quality control & resale value is where they fall far behind!

Ram, Nissan and Chevy have a big lead in unreliability compared to Tundra. Newer is not always better.
How do ram ford and chevy have a big lead? Because of their tech? Did you see hie many recalls those vehicles have when new? Imagine what they are going to 50k-150k mikes from now. Toyota will keep running forever will just enough of the tech that you need. If you want good gas mileage buy a car
I bought the 2020 pro a year ago. If I were a billionaire, I'd still drive this truck...
Note: Dodge is okay however, Ford is horrible.
I thought this was a crack about how you sold it because of the fuel economy, but I re-read it and now understand lol
and they couldn't give the truck LED headlights. Come on Toyota.
Hemi has more power
Yep. And more issues as well. There's a recall already for the master cylinder. 🤣🤣
6 speed equals more reliability. 10 speed.......lol
Toyota is a Toyota is a Toyota. If you are buying it for another reason, buy another brand.

@@IndianaGeologist I don't tow...people don't buy Tacomas to tow heavy..if I'm gonna tow heavy, it won't even be a Toyota product. Tacoma are good for daily/offroad/mallcrawin/easierparking/they are simple and look good

To be honest the interior very boring & too many cheap plastics(( does not compare with the Ram 1500 interior & exterior sorry fans of Toyota but it’s true))
I have to agree with you. The RAM does look better. I still prefer the Tundra for some reason, though. I suppose it’s because I’ve never been much of a Dodge guy.
So outdated, they better bring it in 2022 to even stand a chance.
Stand a chance of what? From what I see the Tundra is doing just fine.

Standard safety features, apple car play and Android auto, Alexa, LED lights.... All standard. How is this technology ancient?
