10 Reasons on why I bought a "new to me" used 2020 Tundra

Here are the reasons I bought a 2020 Tundra over an F150, RAM 1500, Sierra 1500, Silverado, or the new Tundra

[@davidwelty9763]

This is the only Toyota truck I would buy today. Good decision.

[@kedrevs4037]

Just new that if I got something else, I would regret it.

[@duggydo]

@@kedrevs4037 let me know how easily it goes on. I am actually thinking about buying a 2nd Tundra just to have it since they aren't making them like that anymore. I have my 2018, but over the course of the next 30 years, I might need another one. Buying a low mileage, 2020 or 2021 and drive it just enough to keep it healthy is what I am thinking about.

[@kedrevs4037]

@@duggydo oh i'll definitely be reviewing later this summer.

[@MYDOGOG]

I had a black 2020 black Tundra platinum and traded it off with 15,000 miles. I liked it and knew it would last forever but after having it a few months I decided to seek out what I really wanted which was the 2021 Tundra TRD PRO in Lunar Rock. The ride and look is way superior on the PRO. I get so many compliments on my PRO and I’m not sure if I ever got one on my platinum. I paid msrp and actually made $5000 on the platinum. Just hit 28,000 miles on the odometer. Zero regrets

[@jerad4336]

Possibly the best half ton truck ever made.

[@kedrevs4037]

This has been my contention for a while.

Couldn't agree more.

[@trentgriswold]

Just bought a super clean 2017. Knowingly bought it with a cam tower leak and it was covered under Toyotas transferable extended warranty. Love this truck! The last of the best!

[@kedrevs4037]

That Cam tower leak hasn't seemed to stop any of them from running, but still good to have warranty.

[@truthjustice3313]

Excellent decision & welcome back. I did a similar decision back when I knew the 21's were the last of the 5.7. So, I traded in my '16 Limited 4x4 double cab for the same exact model in '21 but in MGM color. Got one of the last ones built. One of the first things I did was monitor trans temps and quickly realized that it was a cost savings move by Toyota. If one intends to tow, the cooler is needed. I installed one pretty quickly. Now, the temps are similar to my '16. Another thing I noticed was the throttle response is much improved and feels more powerful. And, the OEM brake controller actually works well. My '16 never worked correctly and I installed the Tekonsha P3 to rectify. No issues at all with my '21.

[@kedrevs4037]

I had heard that about the earlier stock brake controllers. My 18 brake controller always worked well too.

[@RamBo-uu9so]

I bought a new 07 Tundra SR5 4*4 5.7 . I hate it!! First off the starter went out at 250k and a front wheel bearing changed out. Nothing is broke on it, seat fabric looks new. It's my daily driver. Use it for everything. It has 304k on it. Not good, it won't stop running!!!!!

[@donnovicki9771]

That's awful...........................................😁

[@tireflipper8000]

I picked up a 21 and have loved it. I do tow a bit with mine. Have had zero issues hauling my v8 4runner on a car trailer. Looking forward to seeing g your temps with the rv. The 5.7 has some grunt with the 4.30, absolutely love it.

[@Joe-cu4hi]

Your Tundra looks amazing! Congrats! I bought a new 2017 Tundra SR5 V8 5.7L Flex and it still puts a silly smile on my face when I turn it on

Love your post. I picked up a 21 last week. Trying to find the last of the good ones is kinda hard to find. I am enjoying every mile.

[@Chuy00quiles]

I have the exact truck except mine is a 2021 in the MGM color. Absolutely love my truck, not a huge fan of chrome so I installed color match mirror caps and the black exhaust tip. Now just need to swap out the chrome door handles. Excellent choice, congrats on such a great truck.

[@kedrevs4037]

MGM still my favorite color, but this black one fit the bill

[@BZimm84]

Just bought a 2020 Tundra as well. Was looking to put on a TRD sway bar and the Firestone bags like you did on your old one. I will be towing a 25' RV and with a weight distribution hitch. Would you be able to do a video on how you do your towing setup from the hitch, to bags pressure, to squat measurements? I think it would be very helpful.

[@hvega8199]

Man, y’all were on it.

[@brentsimpson9842]

I have this exact truck 2020 model with 120k miles. Not a single hiccup and does everything I need it to do. Everyone talked about the gas mileage being so poor, but on the highway I have gotten 18.9-19.1 mpg which is similar to what my previous Ecoboost V6 got running 75 on the highway. Now the mpg does drop when pulling or running the mountain roads, but all trucks do. I doubt I will ever sell it. Maybe one day I will purchase a new Tundra after a few years when the bugs are worked out, but the 2020 will always be in the garage. It’s truly the last of the “true” trucks without the start-stop feature and multi-speed transmissions. I was always a Ford guy, but my last F150 just was not the quality of my Tundra. I’m close to putting my 2nd set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S on but the new version. When you go to purchase new tires, move up a notch to a 275/60, it improves the ride, looks better, and makes my speedometer dead on. From the factory my speed was always off 1-2 mph with the stock size. 275 is what should have come on the truck. I have 76k miles on my current set and they still have life left. Great video and nice truck!

[@kedrevs4037]

Thanks for post. I agree completely, mpgs and performance are definitely underestimated on this truck.

[@tacomajoe29]

Nice truck! I have a 2008 tundra TRD off road 4X4. Love it.

[@kedrevs4037]

Love the 2nd gen Tundra

[@coachgym]

Good choice - I purchased the 21 in 9/21 - I too wanted the 5.7. I did add the transmission cooler because my primary reason for the truck is towing my trailer. I sure like my truck & have had no issues. Thanks for your good videos. I’m sure Toyota will get the issues figured out on the 3 generation Tundra - still think they are a good company.

[@kedrevs4037]

Tough to predict where the market will go. With the artificial government stress on electrification, HDs are probably the future of pickups

Absolutely beautiful truck. I have an 18 crewmax limited with a tow package. I snagged mesquite brown. Love my truck, I’m glad I didn’t get the 22 like I had originally planned… yeah the radio is to die for and the interior looks amazing but I don’t regret my decision.

[@shanefarley3575]

I Ordered a Platinum with every available option in windchill Pearl in June of 2021. The truck arrived at my dealer early August of 21. My truck has 37,000 miles on it and it’s been flawless not a single warranty issue to date. I did add the RAS HD to my suspension, Revolver X4S rolling bed cover and just replaced the junk Bridgestone Tires with the Continental Terrain Contact H/T’s in the XL load and they are amazing. I was on the fence with those or the Michelins but decided on Continental after watching the snow and ice comparison on Tire Rack. The Continental out performs the Michelin in every test. I can confirm the grip in snow and ice is superior to any other tire I have driven on. I was driving through 12-14” deep snow in RWD only to test them and they never broke loose or slipped. Very impressive this was also uphill on unplowed residential roads. Love my tundra I also pull a 7,000 lb 28’ travel trailer with mine.

[@kedrevs4037]

Great review. I learned a few things I didn't know. And I thought I knew just about everything on the 2nd Gen Tundra. I drive my wife & kids crazy with the Tundra trivia. Lol. Beautiful truck. I'm looking for the same thing but with the 1794 flair. 👍

You have it right, I just got a 2019 about 8 months ago, and I am 100% satisfied, you are right about the lift kit and stuff, junk squeaks and squawks, man you mess a truck up with that it will never ride right. You are on top of your game, good luck, and keep away from the crazies.....BB

We've all seen it, so we know it's possible

[@johnnysifuentes4188]

I bought the same truck new off the lot in 2020 in a TRD Pro package. The only thing I miss that I had in my former Tundra was the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM). The TRD Pro also have the fox shocks suspension that makes for a softer ride but I know that is not ideal for towing. I love my truck and I don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. I am pushing 75K on it and I think this will be my SHTF truck even when I am ready to buy a new replacement. It's also blacked out all around, including the accent pieces like the handles and badges.

Thanks for explaining all the changes to the Tundra during the Gen 2 years of production. Very helpful identifying my next Tundra after my cureent '15 1794 Tundra goes over 100k. QUESTION: Does the 4.3 rear axle come standard with the TOW PACKAGE or is that another option that needs to selected by the customer?

[@kedrevs4037]

4.3 should be standard on all tow packages, and I believe the only option with the 5.7L

[@lrcreamer]

Great job I follow you I have the 2021 tundra limited ordered arrived new Nov 2021 one of the last made I change my oil every 3000 mile Penzoil ultra and amzoil filter element. I created a access hole in the skid plate by Six inch diameter access plate to the oil filter. I ordered the ultimate trans cooler kit cost 1000 dollars Had the hard line and Toyota thermostat and rear TRD sway bar? I installed both. I tow a travel trailer but getting out of camping but still have boats so it will still be used as a tow vehicle. I only have 6000 miles on it as I have five other vehicles, RAV 4 and a 22 corolla hatch Manuel ( last good corolla no CVT or turbo for me) Nissan Frontier, BMW Convertible and 1993 Chevy 3500. Just a note with the price of gas and camping I came to the conclusion that it is cheaper to just drive my Corolla and see the sites and get a room. Towing can be stressful price of fuel and now cost of camp sites. The Chevy sits at the vacation home just to put the boat in and take it out and go to Home Depot. MY a grandson got in the 1993 hey PAPA where is the button to put the window down…I said see that handle Rotate it..his look was priceless…good job..on your purchase TOYOTA is making the TUNDRA name shameful with the new GEN And all the problems

[@ajsomp]

I love my 21 tundra SR5 with TRD OR package. At times I feel like the truck is big for my needs, I do miss the 1st gen that I had as I felt there was still a decent amount of space and it was just a truck. But my 21 has hauled everything from deer to 400lb bull sharks, has taken road trips with the whole family and everything in between. There are times I wished I got one with the leather/softec inside with the kids and dogs, but that’s an easy add with katskin seats later if I really want to. Aesthetically- I like the 20-21 because they got rid of the antenna on the hood. I do plan to add a transmission cooler later. I don’t care if Toyota says it’s unnecessary- that’s one of the things that I shake my head at.

[@kedrevs4037]

I ctuaaly swapped out my'18 antenna for a sort one. Looked fine, not really a fan of the shark fin, but neither is a big deal.

First congrats, I think you did the right decision to go with the 2nd gen Tundra. I am observing a lot of quality degradation in the newer Toyotas. I used to buy always new cars, but now, with the ridiculous pricing of the new Toyotas, and sh*ty quality, I rather buy a used Toyota. I have a 21 Limited CM, and I love it. I did buy all of the parts to install a transmission cooler, and I am just waiting the truck to hit 60k miles and I will install it myself.

I bought a used 21 last year with the 1794 package. Absolutely love it to death but I have had some odd failures. Might be covid gremlins. Shortly after I got the truck the wiper arm fell off while I was driving. Also had the tie rod ends fail at 50k miles. Stock wheels and suspension so that was unexpected.

[@stevenlefebvre2991]

I also have two tundra’s a 2017 1794 with the transmission cooler and a 2021 without the transmission cooler. First thing I did is get online and get a factory transmission cooler set up where it comes with all the factory parts you need to install. The only thing that is not factory is the cooler itself because the cooler from the factory is part of the air conditioner condenser. I am very glad I did this now my transmission temperatures are where they should be. I am disappointed in Toyota for doing this. They should never have sold a Toyota with towing package without having the transmission cooler installed. The transmission gets very hot without having that transmission cooler. Install that kit before you start towing your airstream don’t hurt your transmission. You are like me you understand how fantastic these trucks are. I also purchased a 4Runner before they screwed those all up. The 4L six cylinder engine in the 4Runner is legendary. Enjoy your new truck. I enjoy your videos.

Yesterday 4/14/24, my security cameras alerted to activity in the front yard. Some guy, acting like he was out for a run in the rain was checking out the truck, not admiring but took a peek underneath it. I wasn’t home at the time but my cameras recorded it all. Nothing was stolen as the would be thief noticed my cameras and looked down and away as he scurried off. Today I’ll be looking for a catalytic converter security shield… I live in a good area, or was a good area until 2020… I passed the videos along to local PD, hopefully it was just a recon.

I have a 2023 Tundra TRD Sport, all these videos about this 3.5L twin turbo engine is scaring me, my gut feeling is telling me to upgrade V8 5.7L

[@kedrevs4037]

It's a lot harder to go wrong

[@leec440]

I want one so bad!

[@kedrevs4037]

Great truck, hope you find one

Looking to buy a 2018 Tundra Limited TRD off road with 112k miles for 34K would like to know anyone's thoughts and if this is a good deal? Truck is beautiful!

[@ChrisV-]

Anything I should look for?

[@kedrevs4037]

My preference is for a non flex fuel vehicle, but it would not be a deal breaker for me

[@tommyc3790]

I have a 2017 tacoma its a great truck 😂

[@TontoBongRonto]

2018 dc sr5 cav blue. Still got that trans cooler. It is FFV but no issues as all so far. 73k miles.

[@kedrevs4037]

I would have kept my ‘18 indefinitely. Found my fix for the cold weather long start. But daughter really wanted it.

nope, it is a TSB for up to 8 years and 96k miles

Platinum and 194 only come with 38 gallon tank

Not sure why the 23 and 24 trucks are being lumped into the “problem” trucks when there don’t seem to many issues with them anymore

[@kedrevs4037]

umm, engines blowing, rattling rear diffs, still plenty of problems going on

[@leje-zj4dr]

@@kedrevs4037 a small number of engines blew due to a machining issue in the early 2022’s. What other issues are there, specifically for the 2024’s and mid to late 2023’s?

[@ejshelby5460]

I stopped buying used cars because so far, no one/no Carfax shows a oil change interval at 5000 miles, most people who trade in their low mile cars are lease returns or failed to keep financing, these people always go by the book of 10k miles, it just won’t do. The first two oil Change at least, should be 5000 Or less to convince me to buy it. This black one is so beautiful, Platinum is great

It's tough to find one you trust

I bet you keep that 1794 a long time.

[@BP-1972]

Love these trucks but do not love the fuel mileage especially at current fuel prices.

Got lots of vids on fuel economy. Trade-off is performance.

[@Streetglide2021]

Keeping my 2021 1974 😂😂😂

[@chunkybuttz844]

Not a very important correction but the 4.6 1UR engine is not similar to the 4.7. It’s a baby brother to the 5.7.

[@kedrevs4037]

Yes, others have made that statement as well. You seem to be accurate

[@georgioantoine4194]

Was contemplating trading in my 21 for a 23… fok dat… keep my 5.7

[@kedrevs4037]

Haha, nothing but regret there

[@coalknob]

100% agree about pre-2020. Maybe not as bad with Toyota, but in general, workmanship and quality has turned into garbage

[@kedrevs4037]

I would have considered a '21 as well. Just something about pre-covid spoke to me

[@JustJigit]

Can’t wait to see how fast Toyota will get rid of the v6 turbo. 😂

[@kedrevs4037]

My guess is they won't, but it will be interesting to see if they can fix some of the bugs

[@paulscott6998]

I want wind up windows and doors that unlock by key. Why can’t I buy what I want? I don’t want all that fancy shit. But if they’d be willing to put as many coats of paint and clearcoat on that truck like a mercedes I’d think about it as a tradeoff.

[@kedrevs4037]

Power windows is fancy now?

Just bough me one 2 days ago 😅

It is ashame Toyota ruined such a good truck it worked perfectly that 5.7 is amazing the 4.30 gears were great they should of just did a different trans and gears to get better mpg if that’s what they cared about

Hasn't slowed their sales much, but I guess there after a different consumer now

I LOVED our 2010 Tundra 4WD, but after Communist Biden shut down our Oil Pipeline and production (which the Supreme Court ruled was Unconstitutional), I simply couldn’t afford 8mpg in the city and 15mpg on the highway. So I bought a used pickup to hold me over. On 2/29/24, I bought a slightly used (6K miles) 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, premium and technology plugs with a 6’ bed. I’m quite sure that you’ll Love your Tundra. I know that we really enjoyed ours… Until the Comy took office

[@kedrevs4037]

That's the last of the great Tacomas too

[@Doc1855]

@@kedrevs4037 Yea it is. We normally save money to pay cash for our vehicles. In 23 I heard that the 24 Tacoma’s were going to the 4cyl Turb and I didn’t want that, so I started looking for one last year. There’s a ton of TRD Off Road with the Premium and Technology pkgs, and double cab, but the 6’ bed is very rare. I simply couldn’t find one, anywhere. So in February I happened to stop by Toyota to look at an access cab with the 6’ bed. It was the Gutless 4cyl and we needed the 6cyl. The salesman said that they had one in the back and he’d check to see if it was a 6’. It was and I bought it. I don’t like the factory black leather interior so I’m having Katzkin make TRD RED Leather seat covers for my truck. Katzkin will remove the black leather and replace it with the Red. One of my friends has a 23 Tacoma like mine without the premium pls, so he’s already bought the black leather from me, so when Katzkin is doing my truck he’ll have his in as well so they can remove his grey cloth and replace it with my old leather. I’m an old duffer and this will be the last truck I’ll ever own, so I might as well fix it up the way I want it.
