Thanks for reviewing a lower end trim level! I'm tired of seeing all the Plat/1974/Pro reviews. I'm too poor to afford any of those. Lol

[@davidzavala337]

I doubt your poor, is just those models a way overpriced and expensive.

[@freezerbbq-barnes2361]

I feel you I m a working man and love affordability

[@thelastcast619]

If you can afford any 2024 tundra you are far from broke mate

[@wing_teletran1]

I like the fact that this truck has an actual gearshift versus the push-button nonsense. Thanks, Ben!

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

I prefer a base model. All it needs is some bigger black wheels and tires. U have analog gauges that won’t go down like all the digital clusters. Plus u save 20-30 grand in unneeded options.

[@tctcpa]

Very helpful review. I’m getting ready to buy a Tundra and have found several negative reviews. You confirmed what I thought.

[@Jimanderson124]

Did you buy it?

[@huntsimple9527]

After 3 weeks and 1000 miles on my 2024 Tundra (I Force 3.5L, TRD Sport 4x4, Sport Premium package, Crewmax, 5.5 bed) consider the following: Pros Electronic steering is great, tightens at highway speeds, looser at low speeds Transmission very smooth Excellent power at low RPM, Sport mode is truly something that will get your attention 19.2 MPG average over a mix of highway and town Quiet at highway speeds Seats very comfortable Transfer case shifting very smooth (4H, 4L, etc.) Materials seem to be good quality, seats, molding, trim, etc. Handling is very, very good for a truck (steering, cornering) Cons Had to refit a piece of the window trim that was loose from factory, unacceptable QC from Toyota on this 22 gallon gas tank is a loser - Toyota really screwed up with 22 gallons being the base tank size Radio does not mute when using Apple Car Play for voice messaging, music/radio keep playing HAVC controls are not ideal, hard to see in the daylight On fan speed 3 and above there is a whistle noise from the defroster Auto start stop must be disabled every time you start the truck, should offer a way to permanently turn it off Cannot comment in reliability or durability in just 1000 miles.

[@kenb8708]

I have the same truck . I have 3k miles and Love it so far! I get a lot of compliments

[@Jeff-cd2lz]

I can’t decide yet if I like the new Tundra! I think the pricing on all trucks is ridiculous! Would you produce a video overviewing all trim lines and provide your thought on which trim is the overall best value in the Tundra Line-up.

[@Drpepperkev4]

I would just go with the TRD off Road package but upgrade to either the limited or platinum, I would go with a mean off road look as well as a luxury off road pickup

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

the base "SR" is much better value, $5k less

[@hughhawley3169]

In 2007, I bought a new Tundra SR5 double-cab 4x4 with the TRD package for $29,250. About ten years ago, I installed a cold air intake which bumped the 5.7L V-8 from 381 to 385 hp, and added about 1 mpg to the original 17 combined. It now has 240K miles. The 2024 version of my truck costs at least $20K more, has two fewer cylinders, only about 5 more hp, and gets only 1-2 mpg better gas mileage (if the "claimed" mileage actually turns out to be actual). Most of the "improvements" seem to consist of electronic doodads that I somehow managed to do without for the first 30 years of vehicle ownership--it is possible to drive a truck in reverse, even with a trailer, without a backup camera. I hope the new Toyota turns out to be as durable and reliable as mine, but I have a hard time seeing what all the extra money buys over its 17 year-old counterpart.

[@richardjones3353]

Not to mention the new SR5 has no power seats and no power in the back of the console for rear seat. And no pull down armrest in the middle rear seat. Pretty bad how they downgraded that model.

[@powertools2375]

That was 17 years ago!!! It’s unbelievable that prices went up.

[@johndelossantos1572]

Yes, Toyotas are much more expensive now. But the twin turbo v6 in the Tundra was only used in the Lexus LX prior to the Tundra. So it’s been battle tested in a 100k SUV. Toyota only goes with reliable and proven drivetrains which is why they are in service across so many models for a long time. This drivetrain will be no exception.

[@Lannie4reel]

Appreciate your input...I have a 2021 Tacoma right now and I'm looking to get a full size truck.. From what I'm seeing with the price.. I can get a fully loaded 2015-2021 tundra V8 Or I can get a base newer 2022 tundra...not really sure which way to go..planning to keep this truck as long as possible.. Also not sure about the durability of those twin turbo Not sure which way to go..the older tundra is durability king..for sure but the newer one has al the modern convince..

[@marksaint2936]

Just got one exactly like that except it has the leather. Awesome truck! My current truck is the 2013 2DbL Cab 6.5 with 312,000 on it. This 2024 feels like a BIG FJ Cruiser inside.

[@davidpesina1959]

The thumb nail poses get me every time 😂

[@marcolcorreia]

rear seating looks tight. With that said I would go with the SR5 double cab short bed and add an aftermarket 3: lift with 34 to 35" tires to really give it a look. I would black out any chrome as well.

[@rodjbosch]

It's a double cab.....F150s supercab,GMs double cab are all the same....tight. It's all I buy,I'm more interested in hauling stuff in the back and need the 6.5ft box. Adults that sit in the back are short trips. Great storage for me. As of 24 Ford won't let me build a supercab the way I want so I've probably driving my last F150.

[@ruyguy8888]

Here in Canada the Tundra SR5 averages out to $60-64K while overstocked ram dealers are pushing 1500 classics with the Hemi 5.7 out for $52-55K. Toyota dealers out our way are basically running off of a Build-to-order only platform and barely stocking vehicles.

[@gous5649]

Couldn't agree more. These things sell quick if one makes it to a dealer lot.

[@bensteorts8943]

I’m looking at an SR5 crewmax, have options between a lower priced one without the convenience and premium package and one with and am trying to decide…

[@dethtour]

I just pucked up an SR5 in solar octane for 58k. But i came with the convenience package and the TRD off road package. So far the truck is pretty beast. Im just trying to figure out more of the festures since its a long learning curve for me since ive been driving a 2007 gmc sierra and its also my first 4X4. My only complaint so far is the truck could have had a little more leg room in the back. I understand there's two intercoolers for the turbos so you need that room up front. The truck pulls pretty hard and it rides very well. I just hope this truck lives up to the toyota name of reliability.

[@negative7proxy]

I also just got a new 2024 Tundra SR5 with a ton of features and packages for $58,453 (traded in my 2022 Tacoma TRD Off-Road). I was waiting for the 2024 Tacoma Sport, but I was 89th in line and who knows how long it would've taken. This will be my 6th Toyota truck since 2011 and they have great durability and resale value.

[@MikeCheckBiloxi]

Traded a 2019 tacoma for this truck about a week ago. It had 18 miles on it and currently has 125. I haven't drove it that much but so far its been awesome. It doesn't handle like a full size truck.

[@JohnSmith-qn5ib]

How much they gave you for the Tacoma? And how much you owe on the tundra? Payment? Any money down ? Thanks

[@Lannie4reel]

I have a 2021 Tacoma thinking about trading in for a sr5 tundra.. Would like to know how the gas milage compares and just general comparison to the Tacoma also thinking about getting the older v8 tundra...not sure which way to go.

[@dantimber]

Seen a few in white and a few in black and they are striking! I do really like the double cab configuration best with the full size bed. $51K with 4wd is a good price.

[@Kylewraps]

$51k is not a good price Just get the Tacoma hybrid next year it’s probably gonna be $33-35k get 33-50% better mpg and still tow quite a bit

[@Kylewraps]

Oh and Tacoma hybrid comes STANDARD with 4 wheel drive I read

[@dantimber]

@@Kylewraps I think it's a pretty good price for a full size 4x4 truck. However if you like a smaller mid-size truck the new Tacoma is nice.

[@piotrk1047]

It's not exactly cheap by my wallets standards lol but for the market it's fair ... I like how finished the product looks and feels when compared to ford or chevy ... honestly I had good luck with Nissan and really do want to enjoy those V8s before they fade out so would pick an XD titan just to have payload

[@Noe-wq4bu]

I wish they kept making it in v8s 😢

[@mattflanagan8110]

Leg room is not “really good” in the rear seat of a double cab.

[@dadwithtwins1585]

⁠@@JIPlatiumI didn’t know the double cab came with a panoramic sunroof.

[@Phil42069]

Exactly. The whole reason to get a tundra is the space.

[@rodjbosch]

​@Phil42069 Some people don't need huge interior "space". They need cargo box "space". Big difference.....and that's why double cabs are built.

[@robertopics]

​@@Phil42069the reason you get a full size is the towing, and payload capacity; and cargo capacity.

[@deanmay338]

This is exactly the type of truck that I will be cross shopping with mid-size trucks to tow our small camper and to haul camping gear. Do I go with a more mid/upper trim midsize that prices in the mid/upper 40s or opt for a more capable but more basic 1/2 ton? Great review. Thanks!

[@dantimber]

Moderate towing? Get a 1/2 ton, whatever brand you like the best.

[@deanmay338]

@@dantimber our current camper (Casita 17 Freedom) only weighs 2,900 lbs loaded, so any midsize truck can handle it. However, we have thought about a larger molded fiberglass camper that would range from 4,500 to 7,000 lbs GVWR. If we decide that a “larger” egg camper is in our future, we will definitely do a 1/2 ton truck.

[@marcolcorreia]

I think i would be in the same boat but leaning towards higher trim midsize. All depends on price. I don't tow anything more than 4k lbs so I can go either way.

[@deanmay338]

@@marcolcorreia do you have a particular midsize truck that you like? If so, what trim level?

[@dkg1208]

Can you fit a car seat in the back of the double cab? Or do you need a full size cab for that?

[@HuyNguyen-re6ew]

My dad have a 1974 tundra 2024 silver and I like it

[@grantfurr580]

My 2020 Silverado has a bigger backseat and floor room

[@johnbehneman1546]

Suggestion: Manual transmission option

[@johnbehneman1546]

Suggestion: Standard cab and standard bed

[@kross1261]

I’ve owned 2 SR5 tundras now 2007 and now 2020. I’m all about value and reliability. If you’re looking at an SR5 look at the SX package. Looks sharp. I removed the SX stickers and people often think it’s an upper grade tundra.

[@sharkskin3448]

"leg room back here is really good", said no one else ever, when reviewing the gen3 double cab Tundra. Seriously. Taking a foot out of the back seat area, to put it between the radiator and front bumper, has almost ruined this truck.

[@mariuszpl88]

How is the leg room in the back? This is not a crew cab is it?

[@extremepcs2807]

I test drove one. I hated the center console lid. Where my elbow naturally rests is on the hard plastic part in the middle. The higher end models have a cover over it. Makes no sense.

[@spookytook]

Is there a lower trim level than this?

[@travise5284]

F150 stx is a better value I can find a super crew v8 4x4 with more options for under 45k all day, but reliability I would hope would be Toyota

[@wkw4095]

I had to stop watching this review at "leg room is very good" LOL!!! no F'ing way!

[@Michel-dq8dz]

Muito legal 😎

[@scottdelancey4736]

Someone please tell me what the towing capacity is on this Truck ? Thank you...

[@rogerbenitez]

11.200 pounds aprox

[@jnmaher1967]

No rear window roll down

[@johnkeetch5793]

Rear legroom is not "really good" Good for kids or small adults only. More leg rear room in a Honda Civic.

[@kennak476]

I mostly understand now why Nissan decided to stop producing the Titan, I think the Tundra would have been too hard to compete with.

[@joeb2588]

I can't consider this just yet. Apparently they're having some issues. I need to see them ironed out first.which means every truck out there blows. Rams are aweful. Ford and GM have bad issues as well.

[@Frdtsl]

What issues?

[@joeb2588]

@D31781 I guess there were some turbo issues. Breaking air vents and the plastic around the seat.. however, could be worked out. I know the turbo issue was a small number but has been rectified.

[@Frdtsl]

@@joeb2588 is it better to just get a v8 f150 and forget about all these 6 cyl turbos?

[@joeb2588]

@D31781 not sure. My mechanic is a Ford guy and he tells me it pains him that they have been struggling with quality and how he wishes they built a truck like Toyota. In a way, the last gen tundra was probably the best option.

[@Kylewraps]

17/22 mpg is still worst in class Might as well just wait for Tundra EV in about 2-3 years

[@aweba25]

That's a lot of truck for 50k!

[@striker7469]

Fucking lit.

[@spookytook]

The backseat space is horrible.

[@Wellh0wrya]

Ben hardy did you say leg room is really good in the back? U lost all credibility after that point

[@ervinjackson3261]

Legroom in the back of the car is not good

[@Phil42069]

What's the reason for getting a DC tundra with so little space in the back seat?

[@callofdutyguy9]

Because this a truck not a minivan.

[@jesserevilla992]

Payload not so good at least 1700 lbs

[@darrylk808]

Affordable?? Still too high.😮‍💨

[@polychuckienice]

Lol Why tell that unnecessary lie saying the leg room was good ??

[@mviernes1028]

FIRST

[@bigdaddysmash-ip6bg]

"affordable"...

[@wesleyburks5368]

you talk way too fast! Slow it down a bit! Did you have a job reading the disclaimers at the end of commercials?

[@iskdude9922]

You can slow down the video

[@russhenry8112]

Slow down your talking!

[@russhenry8112]

Please slow you speech down ,can’t understand you, respectfully

[@UJZhang]

talk， slower

[@henryscreations]

this shit still isn’t affordable compared to the previous gen 🤡
