I just bought this same truck as a 2019. I had my choice of all of 'em (sorry, Titan did not make my list). I'm not as interested wiz bang electronics and doo-dads. I'm more interested in long-term durability, reliability, and value. As of three weeks of owning mine, I jump at the chance to run an errand as an excuse to drive it. The dealership is installing the TRD PRO dual exhaust on it as I type this. They were kind enough to provide me with a rental in the meantime. Exceptional service at Toyota dealership.

[@russhendrix9674]

I purchased a Tundra new when they changed the body style in 2007 and after 120,000 miles and 10 years I can say it is absolutely bullet proof. I still love this beast after 10 years ...its absolutely incredible. I do all of the maintenance when required and it always takes care of me. Not one hiccup ever.

[@dannykfoster8176]

Russ Hendrix I just had to respond to your text. FJ Cruiser. Just turned 150,000 miles. Cadalactic converter went out 3 years ago. 2007. Trading it in for a 2018 Tundra. My only problem was the tires. Word Is. the rims on the Toyota caused the deflation . Had to put air in them quite often.

[@bern9067]

Good job! I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra, Platinum. I still come back from time to time to see what good things this Tundra has. Thats how proud I am of mine, that I have to see the point of view of others and the brag it gets. GOOD JOB TOYOTA.

[@dannykfoster8176]

Bernard Dublois I’m looking forward to my new Tundra. Have. 2007 FJ Cruiser. 150.000 miles. Only hiccup . Was the converter. 5 years ago. Still keeps going!...

[@senninhapsx1191]

That interior sure pays tribute to the F-150 😂😂😂

[@supadoopa926]

From about 10 years ago.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

SenninhaPSX1: Might just be coincidental since Toyota has been using this type of interior for quite some time on other vehicles. I agree though if youre referring to the "King Ranch" look of it. The AC Vents also resemble earlier Fords. Thanks

[@senninhapsx1191]

Big Truck Big RV Yeah, those vents, the knobs position, and even the screen.

[@wayfastwitey13]

it's no coincidence, look at the original tundra.. looked like an f150, and they even tried to call it a t150 but Ford didn't like that, obviously. but really, from a business standpoint, that's the best way to go about design. take something proven, make it better and change it just enough to get around patents. I've never owned one, I've always had good experiences with Ford, and even GM and would just much rather have a v8 with a timing chain vs a belt. and that right there stopped me from really caring to look any deeper, and they just look weird now.

[@stevenduhaime1484]

Coastal Coyote, Toyota 4.0 and 3.5 v6 uses a chain. This is the motor they use in the 2nd and 3rd Gen Tacoma. Toyota 4.7 v8 has a belt.

[@guitarzzero]

I have a Tundra 1794, upgraded the sways, and have coaxed 420 HP out of the engine with 3 mods. This thing will out-corner ANY pickup on the road, while riding like a caddy, and is freaking fast with the HP upgrade. Amazing Lexus-level trim, one of the best stock stereos out there, and a sweet 4WD system, with zero understeer. Could use a 120v bed outlet, but overall, beats the CM and Ford products into the ground. Hook up a Magnusen SC and you're at 500+ HP

[@rxonmymind8362]

Just sat in one today. The stereo was a weak point of the whole truck. Didn't get loud at all. Weird. Not a bad sound acoustically but rather bland. Then again I'm an audio nut with $5k in stereo gear in my RX 350. 😄

[@KeystoneTexan]

How did you get 420hp out of that motor?

[@Thomas-bd5zc]

Nice video! The 1794 edition Toyota Tundra is probably the nicest looking half-ton pickup!

[@LeftenantMalachi]

This or the Platinum Tundra will be my next vehicle! Thanks for the review.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

One feature that I love is the adjustable headlights from inside the cab. All trucks should have this, but the tundra was the only one until the titan XD came out. helps alot when you are towing or have a heavy load because one, you don't blind oncoming traffic, and two you get more light on the road. This should have definitely been included in your review as it is a great feature.

[@KingManga360]

thank you for giving toyota tundra some love

[@LaboJoe75]

beautiful interior.

[@vppnbrent]

Love all your truck reviews Big. It would be nice if the news was this un-biased :)

[@BigTruckBigRV]

vppnbrent: Thank you sir!

[@Spawned-in60]

Excellent review of the 1794. Thanks for the detail on this video.

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Great review - thanks for doing it. I appreciate your honest and sensible comments.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

David Hillbrand: my pleasure

[@CR500R]

"Surface of the moon style driving" I laughed out loud, perfectly described!

[@FarmerSarducci]

Another great video. Thank you for doing the homework for us.

[@azphilip1960]

great channel, great video, thanks for sharing.

[@virenvs905]

Best review I've seen so far

Great review!

[@petedavis8701]

Nice looking truck with a great colour combination

[@TheBarahona1]

I love this Truck

[@stinger4583]

I have an '08 Tundra Dbl cab, LTD. and I love it. Great truck.

[@TheRealRickSanchez01]

I really enjoyed this video. I subbed. just outstanding. Definitely has me salivating for one and I really need one for work. (sigh)

[@AndroidProUser]

Toyota makes the best trucks.

[@CMH_1975]

John Edmonds for Camry owners...

[@chrisbiba4168]

chibbs1975 toyota trucks are made in texas

[@CMH_1975]

chris biba and? What's your point? I know all about them being built in Texas. Toyota built their plant in Texas because the largest percentage of Ford customers are in Texas. They aimed at taking a big portion of Fords market by doing that and they have failed. As of a few years ago, Toyota and Nissan made up 9% of the truck market combined.

[@EM-gh7lc]

John Edmonds Absolutely pathetic statement.

[@Logaweed]

Toyota doesn't even make a three quarter ton or a diesel. Anyone who does any real pulling is not going to buy one.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

That is the truck I want with a sunroof. I love Toyota tundra 4x4 crewmax limited. Toyota makes the best vehicles.

[@TheBCSledder]

Good looking truck

[@robertbryson1017]

I have a 2006 and love it have looked at few new ones but can't seem to get the money together for the package I want . Really like your review on this truck and glad to hear the good comments on this truck for the 1/2 ton class.

[@gast1930]

Acquiring my 1794 in a few days. Excited.

[@davidbays9848]

The Tundra and Tacoma P/U's are made in San Antonio,Texas

[@michaelhony4728]

My 2007 has 57,000 miles. I may never get another truck, but if I do, it will be another Tundra. I love my truck. I will only buy Toyotas. My wife has a 2014 Avalon.

[@michaelhony4728]

jmd11185 Hmm... The Tundra is actually easier to enter and exit and ties my camper... Hmm... It's also paid for and the Avalon has a note... Hmm...

[@michaelhony4728]

Tows, not ties. Fat fingers and predictive text got me again.

[@larrylarry871]

Once you put a million miles on a new car, you don't really look at anything else seriously.

[@markgarrity4821]

Thanks good job

[@illsuspect]

Very nice review

[@dano4572]

very well done sir

[@mattdias3412]

If the US wasn't so unbelievably stringent on diesel emissions, Toyota would have put some version of the V8 D-4D in the tundra long ago..

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

Matt Dias it's that EPA bullshit

[@annoythedonkey]

My best friend has one of these it's one cool truck

[@markferrell55]

Very nice review of the Tundra Thank You . At the price they're asking for this truck I'm staying with my 2001 and admire the 2017. I don't think I'd by a new truck even if I did have the money. These kinda a trucks are more of a comfortable showy truck than what a truck should be if that makes since. Love the color.

[@hojo70]

I have 07 Tundra Limited Crewcab 4x4 with 80k. Only had it a couple years but really like it, very reliable. Pulls my 6000 lb travel trailer very easily. Downsides: I live in Ohio and undercarriage has a lot of rust. You pay for the strong performance, 13mpg on avg, and 8 when towing. But I didn't buy it for its efficiency, but for power and reliability.

[@imstelios]

I have a 2011 Tundra Crewmax, I previously owned Chevy Silverado (which I do love). At my job there is every imaginary truck in the parking lot which my buddies own. Over the years there are many more Tundras than anything else out there now. Case closed, it's just a better half ton!

[@chadbassmaster9084]

Great vid!!! When's the f250 6.2 gas review coming??!?!?!?! Can't wait for that one

[@STILLPHENOM]

hopefully it'll be my next one..

[@Bobbybeb]

Great review! I've driven a Tundra and I absolutely love them. They ride great and make for an excellent work truck. They can take the abuse and keep going.

[@glehman01]

Mine says San Antonio, about 4 hours NW of me, so what's the issue with that ? Fords are either assembled in Mexico or Canada, look at the sticker on your windshield. I can't say anything about GM trucks, never owned one, I have friends who like them, by all accounts a good truck, judging from them.

[@japhethwar]

Got a customer who tows a 12k fifth wheel with one of these. He has been as far as Alaska from SC without issue. They are tough trucks.

[@delvantepeterson8892]

Are you still planning on doing a review on the 2017 Titan or Titan XD. I work at a Nissan Dealership and I would love to see and compare how all the competitors trucks match up against the Titans. Plus you are very spot on and detail oriented with your videos which I've learned a lot from! Great work detailed work on everything I've seen so far! Great Job!

[@thereviewer571]

Nissan was actually the first manufacturer to put a no drop tailgate on a truck

[@1234567890ZETA]

It's a nice truck, was a strong choice when I was shopping for my first truck. I felt however this is half baked.

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

I want to buy one of these. I love the toyota tundra 4x4 1794

[@burningknuckle26]

I love my Toyota Truck.

[@leodanryan966]

By the way, we drove over those bumps many times daily with 0 damage to the truck. You are probably a good truck guy, but you are assuming a lot that I happen to be absolutely aware that is incorrect because I was there, and I drove the trucks over the obstacles on and off the track.

[@NGLCOCONUTS]

Great review. I'm going to look at one of these next week. Maybe I missed it in the vid but what's the max tow capacity and tongue weight? Also does it come with a factory brake controller?

[@alvindueck8227]

great review. diggin the interior colours. I've just watched a few of your videos, something tells me you don't care too much about Chevrolet

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Alvin Dueck: Actually I like Chevy's but would like them to improve in a few areas.

[@shanedaft666]

It would be great if big truck big Rv could come out to Australia and do some reviews on our 4x4s and RVs

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Shane Daft: would be fun. wish we had the Helux here to test

[@LinusScrubTips]

I got to drive one of these at the country 500 on the Daytona International Speedway, on a bunch of woops and a 20 foot hill. Great, great ride and very comfortable. A good comfortable truck if you don't tow much. TONS of room. IMHO Toyotas ride the best because it's not fully boxed. Even better than the coil spring Rams. I think the Toyotas frame flex actually helps the ride, but maybe it's all in the suspension design.

[@camtheham13]

for most people who just tow a smallish boat, and utility trailer this is more than enough truck, and has a very powerful engine

[@LinusScrubTips]

Yep. I can tow a pretty big boat with my 99 Sierra 1500. Don't take much. Always funny to see people who only tow a 25 foot boat with a 3500. I mean if they like the truck more power too them, but if they think they actually need it that's pretty funny.

LinusScrubTips bro you look like a meth-head I really doubt anyone would let you drive that truck

LinusScrubTips i hope that's not really your face because if it is I sincerely feel bad for you buddy

[@LaboJoe75]

😂😂😂 totally

[@guyproulx1660]

The Tundra is the best 1/2 ton money can buy

[@sothickitssickk]

guy proulx f150 has 360 camera, adaptive cruise control, and it parallel parks itself. can tow 13,000 lbs at almost 470lbs of torque. how is tundra better?

[@lerabidheavy7437]

sothickitssickk tundra can go 1million miles literally with the original engine without needing a rebuild and it will keep going strong

[@guyproulx1660]

sothickitssickk i had no clue having a 360 camera, adaptive cruise control, and self parallel parking made the f-150 a better truck, 13,000 lbs eh, how about 12,200 lbs, does that sound more accurate?, who tows 12,200 lbs with a half ton unless they are completely retarded? don't forget the ford also has fake V-8 engine sounds, a useless remote tailgate ect... all useless bells and whistles that will eventually fail and cost the owner an arm and a leg to repair, that little 3.5 twin turbo that create boost has to work hard which puts stress on the engine which will reduce engine life considerably, let me know when you see a F-150 with a million miles with it's original engine that never needed a single rebuild,, there's a reason why Toyota and Nissan trucks are the only trucks you will see in the most inhospitable and harshest environments on this planet

[@lerabidheavy7437]

guy proulx ford is single turbo

[@guyproulx1660]

Josue Alcantar Are you positive about that? i know for a fact they have twin turbo's

[@brandonsequipmentvideos6177]

One interesting observation is how similar the layout is under the hood to a first generation Tundra. I have a 2000 Tundra and noticed things like the battery, fuse box, air intake, and washer fluid reservoir are in the same location. It looks as though the 5.7 V8 is similar in construction to the earlier 4.7 V8 as well. I can't say that I really like my Tundra (because it is not a capable enough truck for my needs) but nevertheless, I am still interested to see what the current models look like. It would be neat to see if Toyota decides to release a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel. Especially since they build commercial trucks, which most people don't know.

[@bfo1993]

Brandon Barker toyota goes by if it aint broke dont fix it lol.

[@rockymountainman7]

The if it isn't broken don't fix it is the part that i like about the Toyota trucks. It is all proven and bulletproof technology that goes and goes and goes. All i do is change oil and fill it with gas.

[@christophercarter129]

+rockymountainman7 Right. If the truck frame and engine is reliable and it continues to sell well, keep using it. The newest f150 is the same engine and frame as the previous generation. Same thing for the Silverado and Sierra. All truck manufacturers are using the same engine and frame for their new generation trucks because they work.

[@rosssmith9941]

Tundra, the King of 1/2 ton Trucks.

[@billd5211]

Why did you say the 1 ton tundras have a column shifter?? Please tell me where to find a 1 ton tundra

[@rxonmymind8362]

Trying to scratch the smudge off the phone 1:24 but it's his windshield. 😄 Great review. I went to look at a 2015 with 50k miles all serviced at the dealership that comes with a CPO warranty. $36k. Two strikes on that year. Tiny 26 gallon gas tank and small payload. With 14 mpg you'll be stopping a lot of gas stations pulling a trailer. On the positive I did not realize how cavernous it was inside! Wow. Video doesn't do it justice. Waiting on the 2020 version. If all the rumors are true that's where I'd rather stick my first $35k towards.

[@MrJustme1961]

Interesting seeing how things are different in USA to Australia.. In Australia its a Ute with tray or tub we do have those big Fords, and now we have companies importing Chev.. Dodge Ram but cost a lot of $s... I drive a 2010 Toyota HiLux 2WD 4cyl, 2.7Lt 4speed auto, have aluminum tray with high fold down side boards, tray length is 2,5 m takes 2 pallets no problem and I can carry up to 1 Tonne legally and regularly do, 1 Tonne is = to 1.10231 ton in USA, I have also a ladder rack on the tray & a rack at front nudge bar at front bumper, I am able to carry 6metre lengths up to 180kg on ladder rack, I do urgent Hot Shot delivery out of our City or around our city. On the clock I have 330,000km or in miles that be approx 205052 miles,, Still running like brand new never uses oil runs like a brand new vehicle... Fuel I use is around 12Litres per 100km that's about 3 gallons every 62miles, working hard running hard never stops..

[@timfoster1599]

Paul Yates funny I wish we could get your diesel trucks!

[@bodyguard5879]

None of the other 1/2 ton trucks can come close to the reliability of the Tundra.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Alberto Gonzales: I'm not going to disagree with you here (though I believe that they are all pretty close now). What I will say is that Toyota takes a much more "engineered" approach to building a truck and doesn't seem to do as much gimmicky stuff as the others to earn consumer's business. Thanks

[@ALMX5DP]

Mitchell, while you may be telling the truth, but you should know better than to make claims like that with only anecdotal evidence to support it, especially on this channel.

[@grahamcouture6786]

Alberto Gonzales let's be honest here, no brand comes close to the reliability of Toyota. Especially when it comes to trucks.

[@beri232]

Alberto Gonzales .... I agree. Toyota is 100% the most reliable automaker. However, for the price you pay for their 1/2 ton, I can buy a diesel that will out-tow this 1/2 ton any day of the week. Comes down to paying for reliability, or paying for the bells and whistles of North American or buying pure towing power. All depends on the buyer. Now if Toyota ever made a diesel 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup in the same price range as Ford, GM and Dodge..... Toyota would steal the market. They'd have it all at that point!

[@munkysex00]

Alberto Gonzales lol ur funny what toyota sold around 90k tundras this year? ford sold over 500k, and gm about the same. it's almost 5 to 1. They seem reliable because there are not many on the road.

[@maxsmoviechannel2025]

I want to live where ever this is because all of those beautiful empty roads!

[@cheekibreeki7058]

MaxsMovieChannel Texas baby! 😎🇺🇸👊

[@maxsmoviechannel2025]

Lol oh yeah!!!

[@derfdswed]

I like the Tundras because they are more old school. Some of the new trucks have way to many computers and gadgets and gizmos that just have too many problems if you actually use your truck like a truck and mainly run them on gravel roads or off road

[@cperine39]

Great video, great pickup!

[@ravenjames3873]

that is a beautiful truck, and i like the color. if you take care of it, it should last you a long time. i disagree with you on the towing and pay load numbers. my uncle had an 07 Tundra he used out on his farm, and the original Tow rating was 7,500 pounds. my uncles trailer was 7,700 pounds and he was able to tow that were we are in Colorado. he recently traded his old Tundra for a 2016, and the tow rating was 8,500 pounds, and that same trailer he can now move alot easier. the most my uncle was able to pull was about 9,000 pounds. he also doesn't have the 1794 edition, he just has the a work truck with the 5.7L v8. with all those extra goodies including the crew cab adds extra weight, so that might be why he was able to tow a little more. but it's a really nice truck.

[@Luscious3174]

Love the Tundra 1794 edition, just sucks that they discontinued the TRD supercharger option - guess I will have to go Magnuson and hope it holds through the warranty.

[@lukestoyz]

Luscious3174 You still can get the supercharger from magnasun supercharger. 550hp and 550 ft lbs torque

[@ShaneOMalle]

Ive only ever driven Nissan's currently have three in the garage. I will tell you though my coworker has 2 Ford trucks fairly new and they're both in the shop. Not a fan of the MPG or limited aftermarkets but a Toyota may be in my future.

[@rosssmith9941]

Had an 02 Tundra Sr5 sold it with 258,000 miles got a new frame couple months ago, original transmission, and original engine. Toyota reliabilty and quality mother fuckers!

[@BigDH28]

God damn that's one nice fuckin truck!

[@andybub45]

Toyota makes some of the best trucks hands down. I really like Chevy, but this is also a very nice truck. Both Chevy and Toyota beat Ford and Ram. Also the reliability is top notch, unlike Ram and Ford. I really like this 1794 trim! I hope to get one in the future.

[@esilva3332]

First of all, great video and review. I recently traded in my 15 Crewmax Platinum, while the ride and reliability is amazing I feel like Toyota lacks on the technology part. JBL system is horrible, the clarity of the lcd nav screen is mediocre at best. Even the reverse guidelines on the screen were out of sync. Mpg for me was 12-13 hwy 9-10 city. By the time i got to san antonio i had a low fuel level light go on (they added the 38 gal tank now which helps). I had no lift, just leveled the front out and put 33's on it. One major disappointment, no tire pressure monitor system in the cab. One last thing, the leather on the seats is more of a rough harder leather. Kinda uncomfortable for me but the cab is huge. That i did love about it. For a 50k truck, i felt that it just lacked alot of options that other manufacturers offer. Anyways, im alot happier in my 2017 F250. Even though, it cost me 70k im much happier with that truck.

[@shsjsjsjsjsi6479]

E Silva damn 70k tho

[@bxbmbr766]

would like for you to also test drive the titan XD

[@grahamcouture6786]

Would that command start issue be fixed if you opened the door old school and unlocked the truck with the physical key? Could it still run the whole time or would unlocking the door turn off the engine?

[@parwizakbari4967]

Your using the remote starter wrong. I have a 2016 1794 Edition. my doors unlock without the engine turning off. try pressing the LOCK BUTTON 3 times and wait.

[@shanedaft666]

We're I live is in south Australia a lot of the mining company's have the hiluxs and the land cruisers that are band from the US becorse of there rugedness but yes it would be great to see ya out here and get hold. Of a kangaroo

[@lyric.kayden]

Shane Daft can't beat a Toyota Hilux, Land Cruiser and Prado. Love them.

[@CleanSC]

A quick correction, you kept referring to the 2007 Tundra as the previous generation and this 2017 as the current generation. They are the same generation. The Tundra was facelifted in 2014 with new front end, hood, bed and interior. The cab and doors are the same from 2007 and the drivetrains are almost the same (4.7 2UZ engine was replaced with the better 4.6 1UR). The 5.7 remains unchanged since 2007! Nice decade-old old motor that still is keeping up. And, if you can find a leftover TRD supercharger, you can bolt-on a total of 500hp and 550lb/ft. Discontinued in 2015, you could get these installed at the dealer, with full Toyota warranty, and lumped into your payments!

[@rxonmymind8362]

Gaaaaah! I need to find one! What's a little more mpg pain? 😆 No pain no gains.

[@cookieboy7102]

I seen a tundra pulling a gooseneck with a shipping container on it seemed like no issue not squatted from the weight too

[@BigTruckBigRV]

If it wasn't squatting it's likely because the truck had airbags added to it. Tundra hauling a gooseneck with a dry van as well above the trucks rated capability. Huge lawsuit from personal injury attorneys if there's any type of an accident.

[@ChemBeforeTheStorm]

Your problem with the autostart can be fixed in the settings. I do not have all doors unlock but only front doors and the truck will stay running. You’re welcome

[@MrMraggies1996]

I might have to go look at a Tundra even though I am a Ford man. Can you do a Tundra vs. F150 review?

[@ryandusablon5329]

Do a f150 platinum review.

[@kevinp5325]

To be fair to Toyota, I don't think they were trying to claim that the Tundra "competed" with 3/4 ton's. Rather I think they were trying to show that it is more overbuilt than the other 1/2 ton's (bigger brakes, reinforced tow hitch, bigger ring gear, ect.).

[@jasonman1515]

Those truck should come with heated rear seats, but they don't. Plus I dislike toyota, gm, and dodge on the cab/bed configuration. if you want a big cab(extra space in the rear seat passenger compartmen) then you sacrifice bed space and you get a 5 1/2 foot bed. If you want a longer bed, then you sacrifice cab space to get the the extra foot or longer bed. Ford has 1 supercrew cab design so you have lots of room in the rear passenger seat, plus they also give you the option if you want the 5.5 or 6.5 foot bed.

[@Mixwell1983]

Hey BTBR do you or can you review the new titan with the cummins engine ?

[@davismathis845]

If want the nest gen Tundra to have a locking rear diff panoramic sun roof and update infotainment

[@2628mike]

Is the 5.7 a reliable motor ? My experince with toyota is they have good power plants but have heard the 5.7 has a few issues .

[@guyproulx1660]

2628mike It's an awesome engine, it's a beast

[@wiihaiishka8376]

It doesn't come equipped with the touch system for unlocking and locking?

[@yamaha1542]

yes yes we all know gm dose not have rear vents, i still love my GM anyway lol. great review anyway!

[@glehman01]

I bought a 2016 SR5 upgrade and I like it very well, has the 38 gallon tank, but when it goes on low fuel, it will only take 28-30 gallons. Does anyone know why ? Is it just a reserve ? Also, I didn't know about the rusting frames issue, and I would think it would be taken care of by now, but does anyone know if it's still an issue on the 2016 model ? I use it as a construction work truck here in south TX, sometimes we have a lot of rain & mud.

[@ontarget7582]

I have a Tundra crewmax TRD. I'll never own a truck that isn't a Toyota. I might get the Tacoma TRD Pro next time. Tundra is difficult to park some places

[@mr.motormaster9881]

does it come with wood wheels and a horse???

[@alspahi7760]

i am a GM guy, but the Toyotas are solid trucks, but i find that you dont see them abused commercially as much as the big three...i find that most guys drive them, and baby them. Say what you want about Toyota, at least they did not go to Push button start...and that rolling back window going down is genius...

[@shanedaft666]

I so agree lyric

[@jessesneed2364]

I'm interested to see how the ride of the gm truck compares. I've got a 2008 silverado that rides horrible compared to my 2000 chevy 3500 & 2006 F250.

could you do a review on the new nissan titan?

[@kenl.6857]

Thanks for doing a review on a 1500 series truck. What are you thoughts about the Tundra commercial where they used it to tow a spaceship? That should've exceeded the Tundra's tow ratings, right? Also, since you are planning on reviewing the rest of the 1500s, any chance of going even smaller into the mid-sized pickup truck segment like the Tacoma or Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Ken L.: thanks! I plan on testing everything pickup now. I've already scheduled time in a F150, Chevy and RAM

[@kenl.6857]

Excellent! Variety within the truck segment is a great way to expand your audience and gives those of us on the fence more expert reviews as well.

When you get a chance to test the F150 take the 157" wheel base with the 3.5 ecoboost and max tow package .

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Shackles: that's exactly the truck I was planning on taking out. thanks!

[@GreenMountain565]

I own that exact truck. I did a ton of research for the best 1/2 ton truck for towing and this is what I ended up with. The only other truck that came close was the Silverado with the big 6.2 but those are very hard to find on dealer lots and don't get as good as gas mileage.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Casey N And 6.2 is only offered in top of the line trucks . That doesn't make sense.

[@GreenMountain565]

Exactly. The 3.5 is the most popular engine for the f-150 which can be purchased on every trim level. It's funny that mine has almost the same GVWR as this Tundra yet can tow 2k more and also I can carry about 600 more pounds in the bed. I will give props to Toyota for building these in Texas when Chevy is building all of the crew cab short beds in Mexico.

Shackles .... My brother in law bought a fully loaded F150 Ecoboost and for the first 2 years that truck was perfect. I had considered buying one myself actually. He did not tow with it and he only put on about 20,000kms per year. In his 3rd year though that truck turned into a piece of shit. He's now had it in for different engine noises, codes and check engine lights and the Fird techs don't know how to diagnose it. They keep throwing parts at it hoping to solve the problem. Last time I talked to him, they were messing with the turbos. I would steer clear of all V6 Ford Ecoboosts bud. Hit the forums.... "reliability" is not a word I would use to describe an Ecoboost in the F150's!
