Thank you Toyota for continuing on focusing on what matters most in a vechile. Reliability, Reliability, Reliability. I dont care if a truck has twin turbo what good is it when its broken down on the side of the road. And if a truck gets 2 miles more per gallon. Id rather have a safer and more reliable truck that looks amazing and fit and trim is second to none. Repairs cost more than gas I will take the reliable one. Former dodge, ford , chevy money pit owner.

[@hochhaul]

Tony Bertalan These 2nd gen Tundras break down quite a bit too. Just go look at the Tundra forums out there. $1000+ air injection pump failures, valve covers that leak oil, center support bearing vibrations, rear diff failures, slipping transmissions, water pump failures, rear main seal leaks, electrical gremlins, vibration from front diff, bad wheel bearings, frame rot, etc.

[@trashpanda314]

Exactly. I too used to be a domestic or die fan boy but after making the transition to Japanese I'm never looking back. Just an all around better product. You hit the nail right in the head, RELIABILITY!!!!

[@nomaam9797]

hey Toyota ! The whole state of Texas wants rear lockers

[@jamesflores9456]

why? never need them just put it in 4x4 and go back and fourth you'll free yourself if you dont your doing it wrong

[@yoddy0]

No Ma'am 979 Amen to that. GM been having those bitches basically standard since the early 2000's, Ford finally made the move in 2012 and toyota still ain't done shit.

[@nomaam9797]

If you really go off road you need lockers , i love Toyota , but the locker is far superior .... that's why its in the tacoma there elite off road truck

[@guyproulx1660]

LilTortilla8 If you want lockers on a Toyota just move to Australia, Africa ect... where Toyota trucks live off the beaten path and where a locker is a must, 99% of trucks in the U.S equipped with lockers never see more than a gravel or dirt road other than Tacoma's and Jeeps

[@nomaam9797]

buy a 2wd truck then , Everyone i know needs a locker

[@ddnmd]

I have been a loyal toyota truck owner for years, 2 Tacomas, t-100 supercharged, 01 tundra limited, and now my 08 tundra double cab. I agree they aren't getting any prettier and it dosent have all the fancy gadgets but when your getting over 350,000 to 1,000,000 miles on a proven drive train why change it? it's 2017 and the only thing I have replaced on my tundra was the radiator and that was thanks to a metal rod kicked up by another vehicle. Auburn gear makes a great limited slip for these truck's and it works great. just my opinion.

[@patriotone755]

Glad that my 14 Platinum is still rocking!!! Most reliable truck I have ever owned. Made in the USA by non Union workers!!

[@amacl10]

I love Toyota but I will never understand the fake hood scoops. They just bug the sh*t out of me

[@Terminxman]

well people buy the sport models. I have no idea why but I see more sports than trd off roads in the tacoma at least.

[@apexgaming5471]

cheaper?

[@123takua]

ApexGaming Yeah I'm pretty sure it is cheaper than the off-road

[@ianoliver8871]

Adrian Macias my question is why put it on if it doesn't do anything...

[@apexgaming5471]

For it to look sporty

[@VigilantPillow]

bs. people have asked for a locker and a few other things for years. but sweers won't listen.

[@mictdave1]

Brad Wilson I agree, I demand a locking rear differential. What's the big deal! What would it hurt to put one on! If anything it could increase sales

[@derekortiz3663]

Brad Wilson just bought my 3rd f150. an e locker is really nice to have.

[@christopherellis2273]

That is my biggest gripe with my Tundra. I will be putting an Auburn LSD in the rear this summer. Well, there is also the fuel economy, but you can't have everything.

[@karlsmith6832]

toyota is a piece of SHIT

[@karlsmith6832]

+Firestarter toyota is a piece of SHIT

[@ManMak6]

Love love love Toyota trucks! Reliability reliability reliability! Thanks for keeping vehicles out of the shop!

[@stevegant7856]

That's one mean looking truck and that paint job is awesome!

[@jeremys5904]

Still the most affordable most reliable full size truck made. Haters are only salty because their trucks already been in the shop for repairs.

[@chrisg1226]

BTW thank you TFL for finally doing a tundra vid, please do lots more.

[@sashoxxx]

I just hit 900 000km's last week on my 2005 Land Cruiser 120 Prado D-4D. Had ONE water pump replacement, 1 set of injectors replaced due to bad fuel over here, 1 alternator... and.. that's pretty much it. No gasket failures, no leakage, turbo doing just fine, no smoke, no exhaust failure, nothing! Not. A. Thing! It's all pretty much the same as it came out the factory. I hope it stays that way till I hit the million mark ;) Meanwhile people bitching about the minor facelift items on the trucks... well go grab your GM products or Ford products and enjoy staying without your vehicle more often than with it. I just have to say Thanks Toyota, for making the most reliable and capable offroad vehicles out there. Kudos, keep up the great job!

[@Yogangster1995]

not going to lie, I'm really liking the look of the truck. I don't know what really changed, it may have been small but I like it. especially the front. Would have been nice if they had at least changed up the transmission or added a rear locker.

[@TheJoncic]

Blah. Another new lipstick color on the ancient and thirsty Tundra. Reliable truck no doubt, but it's time for Toyota to innovate again.

[@georgeboyd2774]

TheJoncic The dilithium powered warp drive, model, will be released next year.

[@GETBacCerote]

I agree man, they need new designing engineers. The truck is bad ass performance wise but they need to work on the look.

[@esenorteno]

It pulled a space shuttle, not like its competitors blow it away ecoboost is very problematic.

[@TheJoncic]

Hahah the space shuttle thing...Tundra doesn't even lead the towing specs.

[@esenorteno]

It doesnt need to lead the towing specs, ecoboost is thirsty and unreliable

[@GrandPines323]

You should have asked about a diesel engine option.

[@DLK262]

Damn good looking truck!

[@GETaYOTA]

Painful hearing a Toyota big shot employee referring to the 22r as an r22 smh

[@hardtofind67]

Surprisingly there are more Toyota Tundra haters than any other company . But yet Toyota is all over the world providing reliable power train to most of their vehicle all over the world. Nothing wrong with traditional motor . So what, if it don't have eco-boost like ford or 5.7 hemi like dodge. Motor last for ever in tundra that's all matters to Toyota buyers. No we don't care if cabin has video player in dashboard. And here his one good advice for people nagging about gas price : "don't buy pick up truck or full size SUV if you sad about gas milage or gas price".

[@guyproulx1660]

Jet Ski Well said, "sadly a lot of truck buyers in America want their toys to play with while driving, some love a remote tailgate, others rather have fake V-8 engine sounds than a real V-8, some need a trailer backup assist because they can't drive ect....." over a proven and reliable Tundra, useless bells and whistles that are prone to fail and cost a fortune to repair are more important than reliability for a lot of truck buyers, go figure

[@THEDESTROYER711]

Jet Ski why not give the consumer options reliability is one thing but every truck is damn reliable nowadays they can't expect that to win a consumer offer a diesel with 25mpg plus. Like Ram does and ford is going to do. I mean hell my dads Ram 2500 megacab 4x4 with cummins gets 22-26 mpg unloaded all the time and can get 13mpg towing 16k at 80 mph. 12-17 mpg doesn't cut it anymore that's a joke.

[@CJColvin]

Jet Ski Toyota is the only car manufacturer that keeps making cars simple, reliable, and easier to work on.

[@THEDESTROYER711]

If you don't want bells and whistles buy a base model truck from any other manufacturer for less money. or buy a fully loaded Tundra and have the same options as a base model truck but spend a lot more because it's "reliable". Give me a break look at your sales compared to everyone else's and see what the consumer wants they don't want your old ass truck. We've had toyotas in the past and our Ram trucks are just as reliable if not more.

[@hardtofind67]

THEDESTROYER711 let me explain you something that is best of my knowledge. Toyota is Japanese owned company but vehicles are built in United States. Toyota have super awesome 3.0 liter twin turbo diesel and 5.0 twin turbo d4d diesel in other parts of the world running in land cruisers and other suvs . Toyota is not able to convince Govt of United States to let them bring those motors here because if it does come to USA it will slow down the small diesel sales of ford/ gm / dodge which have a pretty strong control in govt decisions. Second is emission laws about the Toyota diesel which Toyota is not able convince us govt. over all USA will not allow diesel from Toyota (which is awesome motor made by Toyota) . What USA govt wants to do is buy American diesel from company like Cummings or ford / international and use them in Toyota . Just like they forced Nissan to do it with titan hd (cummins 5.0) . So while other people in different part of the world are enjoying diesel toyotas we will have to wait and see what Toyota and USA govt can come to an agreement. As far as my understanding I think Toyota wants to use their own diesel motor like other countries . But USA govt of course won't let it happen for cheap since they are not using American diesel. And again when it comes to American diesel gas mileage I would say one thing : go to Asian countries and drive a Toyota diesel land cruiser / or other Toyota diesel suvs for some time and see it for yourself are they Milage efficient enough or not . I bet you won't get disappointed .

[@bodyguard5879]

Tundra has never been a high technology truck. Just plain dependable.

[@guyproulx1660]

Alberto Gonzales And that is a great thing, it's dependable, reliable and gets the job done

[@randomuser4014]

guy proulx. i literally only clicked 2 see what ud say lol

[@guyproulx1660]

Nick Dovie lol, and what do you think?

[@randomuser4014]

guy proulx sorry it's ugly....it's too big as most of them i don't like the interior personal pet peve is a console shifter on a truck. toyota can engineer stuff better than most i wish they'd keep it basic a classic evolution

[@guyproulx1660]

Nick Dovie looks are in the eye of the beholder, personally i think it looks much better than the Ram, i agree they are all too big now, Toyota would keep it simple and basic but unfortunately they have to add a few bells and whistles to try and be competitive in the U.S truck market and keep spoiled Murican truck buyers happy, i prefer a column shifter, i really hate a dial shifter like in the Ram, what a stupid idea, and i also prefer a key

[@Lexolo999]

Good interview Roman.

[@pabbip9]

Yep I was waiting for this now I know I for sure like the 4Runner trd pro more

[@02to06TUNDRAFAN]

so how do we demand a locker. I would get the locker in a heart beat if it was offered.

[@ttom089]

if price of gas stays around 2.50 and below and you have reliability of the engine and transmission I would take this over any new ford maybe Chevy any day definitely pver dodge.. (Gas price from CALi)

[@campampates]

ttom089 same pricing in Las Vegas and agree with you 100%. I still wanted to see Toyota put in some effort offering something actually new.

[@ttom089]

David Robles I hear you man but we know toyota if its not broken dont fix it. I am pretty sure if majority of consumers wanted it and need it they would have upgraded the engine but in todays market its really just dodge and ford pushing the mpg on full size trucks but we all know the reliability on those things. even Chevy gets about the same mpg as the tundra. ill take reliability and almost no maintenance over enginuity any day. I would like to see a diesel on this bad boy though.

[@noreason2701]

You can buy a Chevy 2500 6.0 for the same price, way better towing, at least as good engine and transmission reliability, much better payload.

[@AG-rk5hj]

Generic Name some people don't need a heavy duty 2500

[@jwayne1202]

Generic Name 6.0 towing mpg is 9 miles to the gallon and isn't near as reliable the tundra

[@MervinG1995]

Those headlights are beautiful

[@assorteditems4sale]

With the new electrical platform, does it finally have push button start?

[@sellsn01]

That's funny the only reason I didn't buy a tundra when I was truck shopping was the lack of a locking rear diff. That coupled with the mileage, and the cab configurations kept me away. I love the reliability of that thirsty engine, but they need to change a couple other things

[@christopherellis2273]

You could have added the rear diff. ARB locker or Auburn LSD are the options. Knowing what I know now, I would have just factored that into the cost of the truck. I love the cab configurations. I have the double cab and it is the smallest cab that I could set the front seat where I wanted it and still get in the back seat. The F-150 extended cab was too short and the crew cab was too long. For me, this was just right. The mileage sucks, but it isn't bad for the power and reliability. I considered the eco-boost, but the reliability isn't at Toyota level.

[@1FiftyOverland]

Christopher Ellis 2.7l Ecoboost 2015 model year is turning out to be very reliable. since its come out in 2015 we have only had 2 that had minor engine issues. nothing catastrophic.

[@Painfulwhale360]

BRING OUT A 6.5' BED WITH THE CREWMAX!!!!

[@erikemoreno10]

Taylor Albaugh yes!!

[@Sir_Pumpington_Of_Dumpenshire]

I KNOW RIGHT, WTF??

[@kingpete8811]

Right on !!!

[@victorburns3620]

Or at least a 6' bed I can sleep in ....... 6'4"

[@crvilca1]

I too have been waiting for a 6 foot or longer bed in the crew max. Why I have been looking at the Nissan Titan xd. But, I do want a Toyota

[@dispatchlindig7942]

Love my 17 SR5 with a leveling kit and running 33 all terrains.... 13.3 mpg....

[@russellmoore6705]

Are you working on paint that stays longer the 7 years all toyotas I see the paint fades fast and rust starts

[@boss123400]

Looks like my 2014. Wheels, paint and all, minus the scoop and grille. Guess if it's not broke....

[@guyproulx1660]

Troy Strain Toyota should put an ecoboost or ecodiesel in the Tundra lol

[@MXCN-gy7iy]

guy proulx Fuck ecoboost. Worst engine Ford has ever put in their trucks. Thats why i've been sticking with my Vortec.

[@guyproulx1660]

M3X1C4NO i was being sarcastic, everyone complains about the 5.7 because it's a little thirstier but it's the most reliable engine in any 1/2 ton

[@MXCN-gy7iy]

guy proulx Okay i see what you mean. i was a little triggered there for a second lol

[@MistrZIGZAG]

good thing this truck will last you 10 years, because that's the next time it will get a refresh.

[@jamesflores9456]

it will last much much longer than that

[@christophercarter129]

Another reason why the tundra has the best resale value of any full size truck because they don't change the engine and frame of their trucks but every 15 years. It's actually a good thing for the consumers of the tundra as the newer models with a new engine and 8-10 speed tranny doesn't cause the previous models to depreciate as quickly.

[@hochhaul]

Hahaha those rust rotting frames won't last 5 years let alone 10.

[@yoteyeet5601]

hochhaul ,my 10year tundra not rust at all.

[@ispeed1971]

Thanx for the info , i had a 2014 Tundra Crewmax TRD Offroad and currently own a 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport and a 2014 RAV4 , looking forward to the new Tundra coming on the market , love my Tacoma too much so we will be looking at trading the Rav4 lol and imho i hope they don't change the engine tranny combo , its a proven performer and to me after owning the 2014 it reminds me of the old Chevy 454 from the 80s , tons of torque.

[@kpond6522]

Why is everyone hating on the truck and its fuel economy? You don't buy a truck to save on gas. And nobody, I don't care what you say, even needs a truck this size! So if you're so desperate to feel manly and drive around a big rig, why not just get a full-size F-150 with that little 2.7 L EcoBoost engine? That way you get the best of both worlds: 1) better fuel economy and 2) more importantly you still get to feel manly and take care of your small man syndrome!!!!

[@shawnw6316]

Why change the power train when it works? Look at Jeep when they got rid of the straight six 4.0 engine. The 3.7 they put in is junk. Look at Ford six cylinder turbo charged motor in a 1/2 ton truck-nothing but engine problems. Ford parted ways with International (or vice versa)they haven't built a decent diesel motor since. Ram has Cummins and GM has Duramax for how many years! Cause it works. Point being why change when it's working.

[@edwardfern4359]

Cant say i'm not a little disappointed. I own a 08 tundra 4x4 and its been a great truck. Only thing i've replaced so far is the battery and brakes. Love it but its time Toyota to upgrade the powertrain. Not asking for huge hp or torque improvements but a little would be nice. An improvement in fuel economy is needed the most. Also why Toyota keeps saying there isn't a demand for a rear locker in the Tundra is driving me insane! Not going to be rock crawling but as a avid outdoorsman a locker would be great. Take out the ATRAC and give me a rear locker!!! Since a 2018 still has the same heart beat as my 08 looks like I wont be upgrading any time soon. Please Toyota do something soon before I get to old to enjoy my new future Tundra!!! :)

[@KParks]

edward fern same boat as you driving a 2004 Tacoma can't fit comfortably in the new Tacoma "I think they look great" and don't want a tundra because it's essentially a 10 year old truck so I'm just over here twirling my thumbs, I've been looking at the ford's but ehh I favor Toyota.

[@edwardfern4359]

Kparks24 used to have a 01 dlb cab tacoma 4x4. loved the truck off road but couldn't get use to the small size on long trips! Trade up to a newer used 14 or so after last face lift for now. Take care of it the truck will hold up its value then in 2020 if they do a major change go new. I would still prefer a tundra over the competition. I've been thinking on getting a new 4runner 4x4 trail but not sure still love my tundra!

[@RCrider185]

The funny thing is the lower hood scoop could be functional, I removed mine due to rock damage and behind the plastic was steel channels than ran back under the hood over the air box, but it would rust out bad if left uncovered

[@drakeandjoshchannel3486]

what if the Toyota company made a 2017 tundra diesel would you buy it. I don't know when the diesel Toyota tundra will release

[@richardramirez4578]

I am a HUGE Toyota fan, but love the F150 look. I think Quality, Durability, and reliability are more important to me than how the truck looks. Think at the end of the day for me I will end up buying a Toyota not ford.

[@BrickMudge]

Yes, "Tundra's are reliable," but so are F150's (believe it or not, depending on the koolaid you're drinking). However, F150's are superior by every other measure, including appearance. PERIOD! That's obviously why three times as many F150's are manufactured and sold than Toyota Tundra s....

[@TXchadTX]

LAZY update. Has to be the only automobile ON THE PLANET that doesn't have keyless entry/start at $45,000. I know their "marketing research" will say that truck owners don't care about that feature. But that's BS. Ford and nissan offer it. And even the Tacoma has it. I was literally waiting to see how this truck would look before i bought my next truck. And i'm buying a Titan

[@apb1236]

TXchadTX a $60k GMC Sierra Denali doesn't have those features either.

[@calvinkang1224]

Nice one

[@JPorkins88]

When is the tundra getting a diesel?

[@mustafakhuzaima9722]

just bring the goddammit diesel already for fucks sake..

[@CoelhoSports]

*edit* i looked it up and see that there is no trd trim level for 2018 tundras. it's just a package that varies regionally added onto SR & SR5 trim levels.

[@BIGWEBB88]

This current body style is in its 11th model year and it finally gets LED headlamps!!!

[@billymc2681]

Just eye candy it appears....sad because the Tundra, especially the TRD models are good looking trucks. But the mpg just kills it for me.

[@carlmoore4518]

Agree...the mpg keeps me from buying one! If Chevy with the 5.3L can do better why can't Toyota?

[@dragland7268]

Carl Moore 3rd

[@DirkCannon]

Carl Moore because the GM motor cuts out cylinders. that's not a true full time V8. if you care so much about gas mileage buy a chevy volt you fucking hipster.

[@TheNugler]

Killzone. Agreed. I have a sierra and what really bothers me is the V4 bullshit

[@Sig721Tau]

TheNugler Then, you shouldn't have bought it. I mean, if you hate cylinder deactivation so much why buy a newer truck with said technology?

[@anthonymusso5282]

Now if it could get better than 15 mpg it would be the perfect truck!

[@guyproulx1660]

Anthony Musso what would you rather have, an extra mpg or 2 or proven reliability?

[@1FiftyOverland]

guy proulx both.

[@guyproulx1660]

Southern Nevada offroading and back country if you could only pick one which would it be?

[@1FiftyOverland]

guy proulx I'd pick the truck you see in my thumbnail. 2.7l Ecoboost F150 super crew fx4. Which I did, an love it!

[@anthonymusso5282]

The guy that drove a million miles, i like to see how much money he spent in gas. Lol, i agree why not both

[@joechevy2035]

How about that TSS front sensor behind the Toyota Emblem?!

[@VCGConstruction]

Tundra is the best light duty truck we've ever owned, but we're looking for more power. Is the supercharger option coming back in the future?

[@297137003]

VCG Construction No it will not

[@VCGConstruction]

Maybe we can hope for the long talked about diesel option!

[@VigilantPillow]

VCG Construction magnuson has taken over the development. they're just trying to get the tuning down right.

[@guyproulx1660]

bren hi nobody can foresee the future but for now the SC isn't available from TRD, but i believe you can still get one aftermarket

[@VCGConstruction]

When looking to buy new in the configuration that we would need and capability I find myself looking at ford super duty. But with all the bad experiences I've had in the past with ford I never pull the trigger! I do like the idea of a crew cab & full size bed with a diesel engine! I guess if we wait on Toyota the dream may never become reality!!

[@GETBacCerote]

Looks like the Toyota engineers have been BS'ing all this time. It seems like they forgot the auto show was today, someone reminded them and in one day they thought this BS up. LISTEN TO THE DAMN PEOPLE STOP BEING HARD HEADED.

[@jamesflores9456]

agreed to an extent the e locker argument is dumb though you dont get a fullsize to offroad and you nont need a locker to offroad my taco has been doing it for 21 yrs (; go watch fred williams go up hells revenge in a tundra

[@corvettecraver]

Toyota. The only brand who makes a engine that makes the least amount of power with the most amount of gas used

[@ianoliver8871]

corvettecraver only Toyotas in America but toyotas around the world are better and have a lot more power... wish they could bring those to America

[@kevin5412]

Toyota is the only brand that can seem to make their trucks reliable

[@hochhaul]

Kevin Pretty easy to nail reliability when they barely sell any of them and the truck's design and powertrain hasn't changed in a decade. Funny thing is, the problems with the Tundra never get fixed either. The cam towers still leak, the front diff still vibrates, the wheel bearing failures continue, the ball joints still suck, the frames still rust rot, etc.

[@ivancastanedamusic]

Literally of all trucks we've owned, Toyota had used way less gas and has had less trips to the mechanic than anything else we've owned

[@TheNugler]

uhhh.. 381 horsepower and 401 pound feet of torque. That's right up there with the competition

[@canmtb4676]

Is new adapted cruise control for all speed or limited speed ? Anyone knows ?

[@sergiomeza1989]

Nice!

[@letseggroll]

No 8 speed trans, huh? That's too bad.

[@tacoma171]

letseggroll its bull because they have this technology and equipment already in other models. I was a big Toyota fan but it's sad to say I really have lost interest in them.

[@ncurc9766]

What a joke, toyota should be embarrassed, this truck has a 10 year old dated power train, cmon toyota the competition is years ahead of you

[@georgeboyd2774]

Nick Curcio You just convinced me to buy a Tundra. Cheers!

[@ncurc9766]

1AndyOnly settle down Dandy Andy

[@maximilianoluera6679]

Nick Curcio this truck will last FOREVER though, that's why their hesitant to do anything major as long as they keep selling them

[@ncurc9766]

Maximiliano Luera I know it's reliable and a good truck, its just dissapointing because I know toyota has the technology to really improve it, I think it's more a cost issue that it remains mostly unchanged

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

Nick Curcio in what? Bells and whistles? Lol

[@su8096]

Very nice truck the best

[@grahamkaszas6958]

Do they still got those small gas tanks 80L

[@revistadearmas]

Toyota I'm requesting a lock differential Just like many thousands of potential customers

[@KParks]

revistadearmas exactly who the hell have they been talking to??

[@tacoma171]

kparks24 lol. What I always wonder. Who exactly are they talking to because I think it’s pretty evident people want many, many, many things they just are not doing including that locker.

[@Fixin-To]

Marketing - lie about your product not about your customer; fail.

[@TundraJason]

It's funny to me that people bitch and complain about a 10 year old design. Does anyone not remember the 73-87 Chevy's? 88-98 Chevy's? The Toyota Pickup? The only time something needs to be replaced is if it's a fucking flop!

[@KParks]

TundraJason well tundra ain't exactly selling like hot cakes. if they do a major overhaul they could get alot more business from the Ford and go guys or atheist make them look lol

[@hochhaul]

kparks24 Yeah Tundra sales have always been terrible. The plant that builds them has never hit 100% output. They even started making Tacomas to keep production numbers up while they expanded their Mexico Tacoma plants.

[@biggin92191]

I do like how Toyota seems to just be slowly changing things rather than doing the same thing for a few years then drastically changing. I think it helps people feel like they're not so outdated with an older truck.

[@anantiobayuardi]

Engineers always seems to be the honest ones

[@bloodysinner9456]

So it's the same piece of shit from years ago. Wake me up when the new Tundra revision arrives.

[@noreason2701]

Wake me up when Toyota's fanbase isn't full of the most smug assholes on the planet. I don't care if their cars are literally bulletproof and have a 0% breakdown rate, and cost $5. The people that drive them are smug pricks.

[@brad8665]

Yeah but it's not at all a piece of shit.

[@esenorteno]

false, the people that drive ram and chevrolet and bmw are the smuggest pieces of shit on the road

[@aboldone4264]

[@Hernandez530]

Why do people care about fuel economy when buying a truck!? 🤔

[@KParks]

Grease Monkey it's not a big thing but when other similar trucks are getting pretty much substantially better Mpg as well as other options then it becomes a problem.

[@Mr-big-R]

coz people use this truck everyday =work+trip+off road +carry stuff= yes fuel economy is matter

[@dedalliance1]

If they put a 50+ gallon fuel tank on it so you're not like me in my 2005 GMC with a 25 gallon tank going every 250 miles before you have to stop then gas mileage wouldn't be a big thing. It'd be great to be able to drive all day and never have to stop for gas. If you're pulling something heavy and only getting 8-10 miles per gallon, and you have a 25 gallon tank, you can realistically only want to use about 20 gallons of it just so you don't get stranded in the middle of no where with no gas stations around. If you're going 70 MPH you're stopping for gas every 3 or so hours, that's dumb. Put a 50 gallon tank on there, fill it up wherever you can for as cheap as you can and you can drive all day, or drive around town all month and get the best price of gas as it fluctuates.

MY TRUCK RAN A MILLION MILES!!! said no American truck ever without a rebuild

[@IamChucky_]

I love how Toyotas main focus is reliability. My 08 corolla has 260k miles and have not had one problem. Next vehicle will be another Toyota.

[@mattr6334]

Well that's very disappointing.. I was considering a 2018 Tundra, don't need a gas guzzling 11 year old 5.7L. Looks like Ford or GM will get my money.

[@guyproulx1660]

Matt R better hurry Ford and GM are offering 10 grand incentives, 0% interest and employee pricing

[@Weatherby406]

I traded my rock warrior tundra for a 2017 f150 and my pos ecoboost is sitting in the shop broke down with 8k miles on it and ford won't fix it.

[@ryanbowers5799]

what a joke. same old gas guzzling 5.7 and 6 speed. Toyota is miles behind the curve

[@RFJersey]

Ryan Bowers Seriously, at that price point you could get a nice F250, GM or Ram 2500 and have much more capability with similar gas mileage.

[@noreason2701]

All of their engines are ancient... that's why they're so reliable. The Chevy 6.0 can practically survive a nuke and it's decades old now.

[@kevin5412]

I'll stick with the 5.7 gas guzzling while it won't break down and will stay reliable for past a decade.

[@jinxcrew4865]

Ryan Bowers " Miles behind the curve"? The truck with the most miles on the road is a tundra!😂

[@hochhaul]

JINX CREW Other brands of full size pickups have had many million mile trucks. Not to mention the guy that owned that Tundra was a part runner that did 100% highway driving, which makes racking up high mileage a piece of cake

[@NOMADXVENTURES]

Almost every Tundra 4x4 owner ends up adding a ARB locking diff.... I to this day cannot understand why Toyota did not include one in the Tundra.... Love my Tundra and the powerplant but yes I put in ARB lockers that Toyota should have put in...Give us locking Diffs, stock winch plate and a full Garmin Nav Package and we'll call it perfect.

[@yuancg]

Love this only stopping me to buy mpg sucks waiting for 8 speeds

[@maverick_trail]

Having owned (and sold) a '16 Tundra, my 2 biggest complaints were the god-aweful gas mileage and the hyper-sensitive traction control. Oh yeah, there's nothing like having a little fun accelerating through a corner and have the engine completely shut down for 2 seconds even though I never lost traction. The audio system was really bad too. I don't care how many people say it's so reliable blah blah, unless you've owned one and drove one every day you have no idea how clunky and unrefined the Tundra is compared to Ford, Ram, and Chevy.

[@someguyprobably]

BG Customs sorry to know you cant listen to the salesman telling you how to defeat the traction control hahahahah i was merely a kid when I figured it out, I think you never had a tundra or if you did you didn't use it as a truck hahaha. You tried pulling anyone out with that beast? I remember TOTALLING an 07 F-150 that was high centered on a drain (no clay backfield around it so 3ft of snow) ripped that piece of s**t off that cap in REVERSE and bent the frame of the shi**y domestic joke of a truck. Yota power is crazy if you know how to unleash it, thats a big if though! Learn how to use buttons or maybe look up how to defeat tcs

[@someguyprobably]

It took me no time to find out you can't read an owner's manual hahahahaha kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnbFl5hthJeVgcU You owned a 16' tundra and thought the tcs couldn't be defeated or...you are a liar! Lmao so sad, I'm guessing you drive a raptor or something lame like that

[@douwekruizenga1512]

But at the end, it's still a boring Toyota

[@GETBacCerote]

Hey it could of been worse, like a chevy or ford.

[@douwekruizenga1512]

+GETBacCerote fords ecoboost sounds like a lawnmower and Chevys are ugly, but I've got rather a Ford or a Chevy than that boring piece of steel

[@GETBacCerote]

What about the GMC? It looks nice but it runs and performs like a Daewoo.

[@ianoliver8871]

Douwe Kruizenga your mom was boring last night...😒

[@douwekruizenga1512]

+GETBacCerote I'm not really into GMCs, I'm more of a Dodge/Ram guy

[@adamborntreger7070]

hey tfl you should do a drag race with the new Toyota tundra and the 2017 ford raptor

[@douglewis5983]

Which silver is that? I like that color?

[@malaihiboi]

That thing has ATRAC? In the Tacoma ATRAC was replaced with Crawl Control in the 3rd gen. And ATRAC was also never offered for the Sport model on the Tacoma, only the Offroad model.

[@canmtb4676]

The hood scoop is for newly developed 3.5 v6 twin turbos which will feature for a later model year.

[@jasonglaze7874]

2006 Tundra had a push button rear locker. I owned on. It was great.

[@rogerworkman5813]

Will they ever come out with a smaller engine? Roger. I look for gas mileage. Thank you.

[@hfr8343]

I'd buy one

[@mixflip]

good looks....but it's wierd that it says 4x4 but the rep markets it openly as more of a street truck. he even says it's main focus is mainly street. that's wierd to me when I see TRD 4x4 all over the truck.

[@DirtJumperMogo]

What do you guys think of the first gen tundra's ? i've got my eye on a one owner white 05 TRD offroad crew cab.

[@guyproulx1660]

McSteeze Just watch the million mile Tundra video on TFL, that should give you a pretty good idea

[@DirtJumperMogo]

that's a 2nd gen tundra, my dude.

[@guyproulx1660]

McSteeze 1999-2000 to 2007 = 1st gen, 2007 to present = 2nd gen, The million mile Tundra is a 1st gen Tundra, same as the '05 you are looking at

[@prestigeworldwide2851]

So if the hood scoop dont work why put it there?

[@NordicNevs]

So no increased towing capacity nor a Crew Cab with a 6-1/2 bed I'm out until those are addressed

[@mannycali334]

I have that same truck year and color super bouncy

[@tacoma171]

I love how he says they haven’t had big requests for the locking dif but in every friggen board I read and the comment sections of the umpteen million videos I’ve watched people have asked for it! What planet is he living on? This coming from a Tundra driver too

[@estebanamador7601]

I think that you were talking about the 22r.

[@jtnord]

I am current shopping between a Tundra and a Tacoma. There are several reasons I'm leaning towards the Tacoma but with out a doubt the biggest reason is the lack of a locker in the Tundra. Truck packages with lockers are pretty much the standard in CO. IMO Toyota is really dropping the ball on this.

[@chriszawacki4092]

God, I love the dependability of Toyotas, and the amazing quality (ive own many 4runners and have not been able to kill them on or offroad) but I wish the fuel mileage was a bit better on the Tundra :(

[@miguelmiguel21]

I've been thinking of replacing my 2010 Ram 1500 was hoping Toyota would update they're drive train and I would look hard at it but I think I'll look elsewhere

[@ScoobyDigites]

loving the paint color but seems like a lot of options could have been added or made available that consumers wanted as well as a new power train.

[@steven6437]

I just bought a 2014 Thundra for 30k used and it's already having issues with the transmission. I call Toyota and they told me that they can not do anything about it because the power trans warranty is 5 years or 60k miles. Yes, its a little over 60k miles but it's still very low (70k) and it's only 2 and 1/2 years old. The truck looks brand new but the transmission is bad. Toyota is not the same anymore. All my cars are Toyota brand and I never have this kind of problems. I'm very disappointed and because my 30k is on the line and heading down the drain....Any suggestion and please help.

[@PanJarekKozera]

If something is good - never change anything.

[@trashpanda314]

Looks great. Wish they would come out with some LED heads and tails. Other than that I think the tundra is the best looking full size out.

[@zrayray3054]

lol this guy who they interview is the most toyota guy ever

[@ianoliver8871]

Fishing With Z was that suppose to be a joke cuz if it was it's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard...

[@scrapcanz9553]

Ian Carranza most stupidest? wow we got. a fucking genius over here..

[@mikemiller1502]

Dear Toyota, if you're listening, I'am a 2016 Toyota Tundra Platinum owner. I am looking to upgrade within a year and it is disappointing to learn there are very little changes for 2018. The window dressing updates are getting tiring! I felt this in 2016 before purchasing my 2016 Tundra, however, I gave the brand the benefit of the doubt! By in large, I like my Tundra truck. For the investment made, I want to love my truck! There are a few glaring missing pieces in my opinion, particularly around innovation. There has been VERY little in 10 years with respects to this truck! Why not at the very least upgrade your transmission from 6 speed to 8 speed? It just seems like the truck has to unnecessarily work xtra hard when accelerating. I WANT the Lock diff. I want better fuel economy!!! I consider myself financially blessed to afford whatever truck I want, however, it's doesn't mean I should be financially irresponsible a piss money away on fuel "just because"! Especially, when the overall truck power has nothing special regarding POWER! I appreciate the Toyota reliability, However, the reality surrounding "Quality" is that the "quality gap" has closed amongst the competition. I strongly suggest you show some innovation in this product category. You're falling way behind! I am sad to say, unless I see a change, I'm strongly considering other brands for my next truck purchase in 2019.

[@jaeoaktrees1649]

so is this truck in the 1500 or 2500 or 3500 class? do they even make 25 or 3500??

[@jamesflores9456]

all the people that i know that own one compare it to gasoline 2500s

[@kingchaching15]

Cool

[@Joe-eg7ml]

im just wondering what the Pro is gonna be like!

[@thunder0ne100]

what is the price at ?

[@darrylbarnes8894]

Update the powertrain please!

[@popcornpeet6932]

I think we need of rebates or something for me to buy them

[@Toyota_Hilux]

I wish theyve put out the 4.5 D4D v8 diesel twin turbo
