2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition Holiday Road Trip Review (Part 2)

( www.TFLtruck.com ) The 2014 Toyota Tundra pickup is all new except for the engine choices. In this new video series of Holiday Road Trip reviews Roman drives the new Tundra from Denver, Colorado to Phoenix, Arizona to find out what it means to live with the new 1794 Edition of the 2014 Toyota Tundra. So how does the 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition serve as a road trip companion? How does it drive on America's straight and seemingly never ending interstates and how does it do hauling a couple of dirt bikes?
Check out part 2 of this new road trip review series as Roman tell you the top three things he feels need improvement in the new Tundra.

2007 I bougth a tundra limited and i put close to 300,000 miles on it and never let me down for nothing 0 repairs and last year 2015 I bout the 1794 edition and so far so good no complains at all.

[@Thamac15]

Using the nav in this trucks is easy! Something's wrong with you.

[@MKIIsleeper]

Complaining about the fuel consumption of a gasoline V8 seems a bit odd, did you think that somehow it would miraculously make more horsepower with less fuel? The internal combustion motor is tapped out with the current tech available. You KNOW it doesn't cut cylinders out, you KNOW it's 5.7L...Come on guys, let's hear some valid complaints. Seats don't heat up fast enough......really?

[@OOpSjm]

Consumption can be reduced. Simple application of reduced cylinder firing or direct fuel injection (bit more complicated).

[@dennistv598]

Wait in the tundra upper trim you can adjust the cushion.....

[@skylerroxasmidoriyatardisp2882]

Wow Tommy has had a glow up and he's gotten a lot more confident!

[@Geronimo.Victor1511]

A truck is not unstoppable in icy conditions...don't get that into the head of buyers. I've seen far too many people with 4x4 in my state and it makes them cocky when they're driving on ice and they end up sliding around just as much as everyone with 2 wheel drive.

[@robertoibarra8280]

Was I the only one screaming PAUSE GUIDANCE !!

[@c4pt41nhowdy2]

Best Truck I have ever owned.

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

I just bought used one 110k milet. 33k great oodition,tires, all 4:49 fluids Changed. 3 month warranty love it!

[@guyanes69]

*options, ...you welcome

[@LakaiGirlAppsSkill]

Like father like son.

[@gmrtg1414]

They still need to put a dam trailer brake box in this truck. It would be nice to see if they could do the cylinder shut down like GM does to squeeze some more MPG's

[@lukewunder9550]

I love my 1794! The only reason nobody gets good gas mileage is because it takes off quick and smooth and its hard to let outta the pedal. Otherwise gas mileage isn't as bad. Can get 15 city. I keep mine around 11-12.

[@BigSkidMedia]

Great job. Love your videos.

[@kingdaniel3519]

It does seem idiotic with all the new truck lineups coming out the next couple of years, that Toyota would stick with an almost 7 year old powertrain. That's one thing I don't like about this Tundra, it's basically the same as the last generation just with new sheet metal. Also, they need to move away from the open C-channel frame and stop riveting the cross members on it. Everyone else has a boxed and hydroformed frame. It's time Toyota moved out of the 90's.

[@ElAlfonso23]

I don’t know both of y’all sound like you’re complaining just to complain. I’ve owned this truck for over two years and have put 50k+ miles and it is the most comfortable truck you can take on a road trip. Seats feel great and I like how smooth the truck adapts to the different driving environments when you’re traveling in the winter from CA to TX.

[@tuiwaqa3176]

the TFL truck hate toyota tundra and they love ford model

[@ja7i3r]

He look just like u, good video hope u guys have a safe trip also would like to see a video review of the 2014 ecodiesel

[@MarkR973]

I have a toyota and the nav is easy to ise just delete destination.. Complaining about something you didnt take a moment to learn is stupid

[@dvillalba3d]

All of the sudden Sync looks like a rock star...

[@RootDir_ls]

Thanks for the good videos.

[@chrislucy1589]

Like the real world testing!

[@WARCHILL]

for a someone who knows about vehicle he should know that all radio with navigation system has a menu button you can select what you want to view

[@A_guan]

Tesla has the best nav system since it uses Google maps and there is a delete route button! Wish other manufacturers could have an option saying "enable usage for navigation while drive" so the passenger could cancel or create a new route or the driver could do it (at their own risk)

[@manup2survive]

I wonder if you can get the 1794 package with the TRD Pro off road package to go with it. That would be a nice truck. Bilstein shocks heavier skids, etc.

[@darrylkremer6488]

Enjoyed the review. The interior looks pretty good. How do you think the 1794 compares to the Ram Longhorn in terms of their interiors? Awesome to see a dad and son spending time together. Very cool.

[@boss123400]

I have a new platinum Tundra 4x4, traded a 2012 Tundra TRD 4x4 for it. I agree the seats are hard, but considering how long this trucks going to last I think they'll get broke in like boots. The ride is better, but still stiff. I tow a 22' Cobalt in the summer then nothing else. I read the manual and learned the entertainment/nav before I went on the road, but hey I build my own computers too. I have had both A 1998 Chevrolet and three Ford trucks. I've had three Tundras. Guess which two brands ended up in the shop? I'll take reliability and resale over worry every time. Never looked back at the big three. Never owned Chrysler products as they have always been at the bottom of the reliability factor even after Mercedes got a hold of the brand. Time will tell in ten years which was a better purchase/cost to own/left stranded!

[@jasonk2787]

I get 15 mpg highway with 35s and 5 inch lift and about 11 to 12 city. Its a v8 not a prius, with that being said I have a nissan versa to do my daily commute in. For better mpg get a diesel. New ram ecodiesel gets 27+ highway is very impressive for a truck.

[@LarryC213]

Um, just a thought, but couldn't you just drop by one of the many Toyota dealerships and ask them how to do what you are wanting to do? Or, and I know that this is a wild suggestion, but you could just read the owners manual. Just a thought. I completely agree with you about the option of a more fuel efficient engine.

[@FanaticGuide]

Startup chime REALLY needs improvement! It sounds more like an old Honda than a Toyota. Put that chime in like a Scion and input the Lexus startup chime on every one of your cars, Toyota!

[@camtheham13]

on the mpg issue the fact that u have 2 dirt bikes with the tail gate down hurts your mpg a fair bit

[@scottishbadboy1]

I use a leaf blower to get the snow off my truck

[@whales302]

My 06 Tacoma had no lights on switches either, pita. After the frame and leaf springs rusted out of that truck I got rid of it.

[@bobjhonson6371]

In all Toyota vehicles, you have to press delete destination. It doesn't make that much sense, but you just go to previous destinations to get it routed again.

[@bobjhonson6371]

It took me 10 minutes to get it at first but then I've had no problems with it.

[@Stokesman101]

I love watching this stuff. I'm a technical guy, and own a 2007 limited tundra after owning a 2009 silverado and two brothers having brand new f150's. First off toyota seats are hard as cement. Um c'mon guys. 50 grand for a loaded "luxery" truck and the seats are hard. Their wide but hard. The ride is harsh compared to the others. I have same issue with the no lights on the window switches. What the heck. Again 50 grand and a worthless navigation system? Now the pros.. Resale resale resale. No matter how u slice it and dice it tundra dominates this. Mpg is pathetic...(I don't care though because I love the power) but why not add direct injection to the 5.7 or cylinder deactivation? C'mon guys. Hemi is same displacement more power and better mpg.

[@42ambrocio]

Alex on Autos already has an ecodiesel review!!!! 31mpg!!!

[@50ccAdventure]

Is that a dr200 in the bed? Is there going to be a new channel called TFLBike?

[@Geoffreynguyen911]

One way in order to turn off the navigation audio system is to turn off the engine and turn on again. This is the fast way. I really like to show. Thank you.

[@hiimdrummer03]

Why would you use the bristles of a brush on the painted areas of a truck?

[@JFKennedy-wy5ez]

Yeah my home town Albuquerque

[@daltonhill5110]

Could yall review a GMC sierra all-terrain plz:)

[@fourbuick]

Toyota posted a lot of videos about the new navigation system when the 2014 Tundra came out. I agree about the lighted door switches. Every other car company does it. Why not Toyota!

[@uncleslayton2097]

You actually do have to delete destination to cancel. "Delete" is definitely the wrong word. Still, I would have broke out the manual after just a couple minutes. No shame in referencing it; that's what it's there for.

[@SwPiotrek]

Nice truck

[@jaketafoya5261]

R u guys right by the arena?

[@jaketafoya5261]

I live in abq best place to live did snow a lot tho

[@MrAlashe]

Biased View.. You cant work the Navigation system. Your son was right.. hit the voice recognition and simply say cancel. The seats ARE comfortable..Truly Truck-like seats..Your views are completely biased..I must say..

[@RichDunn]

On the negative side the seats are uncomfortable, but on the positive side it's a very comfortable truck to travel in... eh? MPG will probably improve 2-3 mpg once the engine is run in and then it's as economical as any other just shy of 6 liters gas V8. I really like this truck, but the RAM1500 HEMI rules my heart and it's V6 diesel with the eight-speed torque-flight rules my head...

[@chrisl5664]

Damn that took forever

[@Thamac15]

The heated seats heat up FAST! You apparently have never sat in a Chrysler product, those take a loooong time to heat up. The seats aren't comfortable? More comfortable than an F150 seat that's for sure. ENTUNE is not trouble,...voted the best and easiest units to operate.

[@rumerboyz]

Toyota needs to put a Lever for the 4 wheel drive in the tundra trd offroad. I mean you put one in the 4 runner!

[@andylie7699]

Nice....

[@shylildude]

where's part 1?

[@Formulastreet]

My car has a navigation, but I still use my Garmin. Its much easier to used.

[@RootDir_ls]

15 mpg??? I moved from Phoenix to Denver recently. My 2006 f-150 FX4 with the 5.4 got 13.8 mpg average on the trip. That's with towing a uhaul trailer that came in at apex 3500 lbs and 600lbs of cargo in the truck. Mpg was calculated from fill up and not trip computer. I understand why Toyota stuck to the engine. "The engine that pulled the space shuffle". It's a marketing ploy to win over patriotic truck buyers. But i really wish they would be more competitive. I'm a ford guy myself but options are always nice.

[@1nkman]

Learn how to use it before you give a review.

[@gsctht123]

And they call that a SAFE navigation unit?

[@wsc31]

I love the sense of safety and security imparted by all wheel drive and the attendant traction/stability etc nannies. The bad part of that sense of security is when a driver assumes that having the benefits of all wheel means that s/he is exempted from the laws of physics, something they often realize just about the time the bodywork meets a stationary roadside object. If a teenager cannot make the Toyota nav system work then what hope does an earlier generation have of success? Toyota must know that comfortable seats and usable technology sells trucks so what are they waiting for? A parenting question for Roman- why were you removing the snow and ice? That sort of drudgery is what we have sons for, or at least that is what I told my son.

[@Geoffreynguyen911]

Ooppsss. I meant I really like your shows very much.

[@FinalWarsGodjira]

to stupid to figure out the nav system...

[@earthling1984]

the navigation said, 'make illegal uturn ahead'?!?

[@Thamac15]

No it says make "legal u turn ahead".

[@jbob787]

No, you're both wrong. It and all navigations say, " make a legal u-turn".

[@Thamac15]

jbob787 umm,...that's what I said.

[@Thamac15]

***** Wow, based off your eloquent gift for gab I would presume to say you're one vital asset to your community. Good luck in life with that professional and respectful verbiage.

[@Pelley4560]

I know the wigwam hotels from the Simpsons (Last year, s24)

[@1234567890ZETA]

My ideal Tundra for the a road trip like he did will either be an SR or SR5 with the smaller 4.6L V8 it has enough horsepower (310) and is a little better in fuel economy though let's face it, Toyota could've done a little better by adding cylinder deactivation.

[@tuiwaqa3176]

It's like 1 miles different from 5.7 I force

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

siri could of helped u....lol

[@randslites]

You guys should be used to the snow since your from Colorado!

[@loverjentm0926]

Fun fact, I read the manual before I start messing with my electronics.

[@dukehines]

Tundra is a nice truck

[@algonzalez4157]

I get 12 mpg in my 2014 tundra

[@spidermandj3]

That nav isn't difficult

[@mvan1484]

you can tell he doesn't deal with snow usually. clean your hood man!

[@Barobran92]

The 2013 Tundra looked a lot better in my opinion, I really don't like the front and rear ends now.

[@joejohnson9188]

This guy is so against Toyota Tundra. Just watch all his other reviews of the Tundra. He should not be doing truck reviews.

[@longboardguy]

Yes he is quite biased I've seen those reviews also

[@USA4thewin]

So good you take your son out with you

[@dylanjuhnke7504]

Near impossible to turn off in 2012 camry

[@Grimlock1973]

Hahahahahahaha! It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to cancel a current destination in my 2013 Lexus as well! You have to press delete previous destination to cancel. HATE Lexus/Toyota's navi head unit!

[@Toyotaguys]

***** bammers suck!

[@GoyaveGoyave]

+Tech ToyotaguysVlogs I agree.

[@arnoldtx100]

My Ecoboost gets 20+ MPG real world. The chevys, Toyotas and Dodges get 15 MPG real world.

[@ThaRudolphM5]

why tundra instead of chevy?

[@ln2596]

pause guidance ,you goof

[@DreadlockDrummer]

make illegal u-turn ahead? lol thats what i heard

[@chrisfeuerborn3702]

a legal* haha

[@1984bgonzalez]

duhhhh u gotta read the manual first.

[@Thamac15]

Fords ecoboost does not get 20 mpg. Real world is 15!!!!!

[@gmrtg1414]

I get 20-22 hwy miles per gallon. To achieve that you have to drive nice and all hwy miles. I've seen guys with ram get the same hwy mpg too. The tundra from my understanding is closer to the 19-20 if you drive it nice on the hwy. Your correct though 14-16 is real world driving Mpgs for most full size trucks.

[@MKIIsleeper]

I've managed 13L/100km but that's on the highway driving very conservatively.

[@timmyteabag69]

Clayton Dyck I've got 12L/100km on my 2008 Toyota Tundra

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

lol...thats why u dont get stock nav...get an ipad mini

[@H3DHUNT3R192561]

I own a 2008 tundra with the 4.7L v8. Great truck more power than i expected when i bought it, also after some exhaust work i am getting 20-22 mpg around town. I drove it from amarillo tx to san antonio tx and got anywhere from 28-38 mpg on highway.

[@Savagex411]

it's a 5.7 it's not made for good mpg

[@shamidmathura9592]

yea the NAV is a pain in the ass to use, so i sue my Google maps with is much easy to use ;

[@MrNicholg]

Come on, the mpg and hp is still right on par with the class leaders. The Ecoboost doesn't do any better, and you'd have to pay a lot more for a diesel to do better.

[@DanielAcostaAZ]

Yes, it's a great drivetrain, but no the mpg doesn't match the class leaders anymore. 85K mile average with my 07 Tundra 5.7 4x4 was 15, 10K mile average with my 14 Sierra 5.3 4x4 is 20.

[@MrNicholg]

Daniel Acosta Car and Driver averaged 15mpg with less powerful Sierra, 13mpg with that old Tundra, which got to 60mph over 1 second quicker to 60mph to demonstrate the performance difference, for which you'd need a 6.2L GMC version and the right gears. For the money, you'd still save with the Tundra too. TFL has taken them around, and it's clear that GMC is just now keeping up with all the gas mileage tricks they can muster to get about the same mpg.

[@gmrtg1414]

MrNicholg How did the Ecoboost do in the Performance tests?

[@MrNicholg]

***** C/D got 12mpg in one test, 14mpg in another, MT got 14mpg in their long-term test. It's got good power, it doesn't save gas in real world driving.

[@dukehines]

I have an ecoboost I get 15-16 mpg in the City and 18 -20 on the HWY at 70/75 mph.I have not had any mechanical problems. Remember guys with new technology some vehicles are gonna have problems.As for all around trucks ford is the best buy and seller .

[@jeffhirata]

Yeah, you have to delete destination to turn it off. It does not actually delete your programmed destination, and that's why it's very confusing. They should change that wording from delete destination to stop navigation.

[@richardu698]

OK wow the takes five minutes to figure out navigation and you put it on camera? Also comparing gas millage to a diesel? If you had been driving the new GMC diesel you would have had issues in the cold.

[@scottishbadboy1]

LOL!! That nav sucks balls

[@MarkR973]

Why does every reviewer want trucks to sip gas like a Prius... N they outta actually do some research on the electronics before complaining about them. I will agree about toyota seats, my Avalon bothers my legs after a while..

[@aapbishop6600]

You should've cut out this bullshit , i came here for the truck not see some guys not figure out how to turn off some gps

[@MichalLempicki]

Roman.. I'm a fan of the channel and like your reviews. But this was painful to watch. Probably should have been left out.

[@Isaacboldon]

It a toyota

[@erikknutson4316]

It's a truck good lord what do you expect from a v8

[@israel2035]

just get a dodge ram 1500 sport

[@jetskier456]

First

[@andrewmorgan7500]

The bias is cringy

[@2005TJSOCAL]

How about your not so smart to read or learn a vehicle before you drive? Ive never had problems with window switches in the dark... especially in the snow you are not a truck owner obviously

[@JCJourney]

that is how stupid they are. they just don't want to pay for a good GPS system it already on the market. they want to make they OWN system. lol nice

[@tubeit530]

You can't play with the navigation unless the trick is stopped, so you don't kill yourselfs

[@seansean5662]

Hmmmmmm you guys are usually good but this is really lame especially when you let your temper get the best of you. You have better more fair reviews. When you retire it will suck there's something about your videos I like and I watched your son's video but I think you have s likeability that keeps me watching that your son doesn't.
