Sure they've had a few things wear out, water pump, belts and hoses, etc, but the power trains are still running strong. I can't imagine any other brand would perform any better, given the job they've performed over the years. They are both 2008 or 2009s I think. All in all, good trucks I'd say...

That C channel really helps overall articulation. I really want to see the Tundra get some serious updates. The 2007 based platform and powertrain have aged well more so in the power and performance category. In 2007 the Tundra changed the truck game. In 2018 they are just alright. I would buy a Tundra tomorrow if they added an 8 speed transmission, a vastly updated infotainment system, and other tech goodies other truck manufacturers have.

[@crjmoto]

Slightly off topic but I've had 2 Frontiers - SV, then upgraded to Pro-4x, one of the best do-everything vehicles I've ever owned and the 4L was an amazing engine, no probs ever with either. I'll never understand why Nissans are viewed as the underdog here in the US.

@@davidkutschke54 these new titans are awful though There is a laundry list of problems that the dealership has fixed.

Plastic around the opening for the tires is already coming off too. Grill should move out of alightmemt, clear coat shouldn't be cracking . I dont polish it, the dealership did. And I dont drive it crazy. And the seats keep coming lose. The entire cab rattles bad. My old 2001 dodge truck is quiter than this and I drive that thing hard in the mud. No mods except bigger offroad tires on the dodge. . Titan is junk. Engine will probably last, but nothing else will.

Love this! Big v8 DOHC engines sound really good in these trucks! Titan and especially tundra are still slightly detuned though.

It's really a good time for great V8 power options from all half ton truck manufacturers these days. 5.0L , 5.7L, 5.7L, 5.6, 6.2 and even 5.3L are all great engines. They all make about 400 HP too which is awesome because it wasn't seemingly all that long ago most pickup trucks where around 300 or less HP. Now most of these trucks have 8 and 10 speeds others at least have 6 or 7 speeds that all shift quick and provide excellent power delivery. Gone are the 260 HP 4 speed transmission days lol.

[@brandedmcgowan9414]

But the old American 3 from the 90s 5.7 GM 5.8 ford and 5.9 Dodge with the four speeds put out at least 350 pound feet of torque 255 horses and gets 17 mpgs and power (torque) peek at 2250-2500 rpms and they shift less or none when climbing hills😁.

Not anymore sadly. Lol.

[@Ronaldalan114]

The fact that the 12 year old Tundra is even close to the 2 year old Titan, doesn’t speak well for the Titan, IMO. The fact that Toyota hasn’t felt the need to update (substantially) the Tundra (2007), speaks volumes about how good that 2007-2019 Tundra is. All of that said, come on Toyota, let’s update this truck and please make it so great, you won’t need to update it again for another 12-14 years 😂.

[@lukestoyz]

Samurai is great concept with short whbase but it’s poorly built that’s why not much left. 6. Nissan has been on bankruptcy step for years even ford didn’t want to buy it - it’s vehicles lack quality and sales balooned mostly by 0% offers and trendy design forms that millennials find compelling and they spend money easiest. 7.

@@carholic-sz3qv ok, there won't be any new Tacoma. The newest one came out in 2016, and Toyota won't just release a new model after 3 years. We'll probably wait a few more years for a new Taco, but I'm really hoping for an all-new Land Cruiser, Tundra and Sequoia.

Trust me that trd exhaust does not do justice in video seriously it sound glorious in person

[@sk84life80]

I love that the Titan is so underated. I got a smokin deal on a kickass work truck while everybody I know is takin 2nd mortgages for the soccer mom amenities in their Govt Motors or Ford or Dodge. The haters have to hate to justify their purchase.

[@smithjones1906]

Even with the upgraded exhaust on that trim of Tundra, the Titan still sounds better. And the lab coat doesn't work on Nathan. He needs to walk around in a bathrobe like Rodney Dangerfield haha

[@jonathanguzman8255]

smith jones I’m Toyota guy but y’all I got to give it to the titan

[@jonathanguzman8255]

But just for the exhaust sound

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

My brother has the AFE side exit exhaust on his titan pro-4x and man it sounds freaking amazing!

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Let's see the bed to body line while on the ramp

[@foellerd]

What doesnt bend will break. Toyota has doubled down with that philosophy, different from everyone else, and thus will have a much bigger gap between the bed and cab.

[@philtripe]

The beds mounted on steel and the CAB (Its called a cab on a truck) is mounted on rubber so even without a flexible, Jeep like frame they still move independently

[@EGGINFOOLS]

@@foellerd That's not entirely true. I get your point but besides ford (which I think has changed their route on this but I'm not sure) has fully boxed frames on their HD trucks and frame cracking isn't an issue. The Toyota that ran across the bump test actually had the bed come in contact with the cab several times.

[@nxtgen2b416]

@@EGGINFOOLS is this a fact....I'm very curious now.

[@foellerd]

@@EGGINFOOLS Like I said, Toyota has the most flex in the frame, so it would be the truck to have the bed hit the cab in that test. I'm pretty sure I saw that video too.

[@DoctorChange106]

confused - why is the flex test important? What user dynamics does it measure?

[@XX-km7up]

You should add a braking test to both the gold winch and the gold hitch

[@tommygarren8853]

Redo the race with the tow Haul on the Tundra. I am sure the results will speak for themselves. Beast Mode ON!

[@TFLtruck]

We tried with and without the tow mode. And the result was about the same. Traction control off

[@lukestoyz]

The Fast Lane Tundra Owners who have tried this do not believe you. Where is the proof?

[@nxtgen2b416]

EXACTLY, where is the proof. They didn't show us doing it!

[@JimmyDevere]

Full throttle is full throttle regardless of setting. At half-throttle, yes it makes a difference but not at full. It's the lower gearing in Nissan that makes the difference.

[@nxtgen2b416]

@@JimmyDevere ... The tow/haul mode changes a vehicle's transmission shift patterns. Pulling a heavy load requires a lot of power. The tow/haul mode reduces shift cycles. It also boosts " torque " and engage an engine braking mode to help drivers maintain control while driving up and down hills.

[@Nissantitan1000]

Titans shouldnt be overlooked. Unlike the gasser in this video i have a 16 platinum reserve diesels and it handles everything ive thrown at it just fine even better than most trucks the most ive towed was 16k pounds and she did it fine and was very stable.

[@mkecarconnection3808]

You guys should have tried to open the doors and tailgate to see if the flex would affect it

[@SeLigaBrasilsil]

I do not know anyone whose unhappy with his/her Titan. My 2011 White Titan SL just exceeded the 300k miles, does not burn a single drop of oil, looks and rides like a dream. No doubt that my next will be a Nissan Titan

[@spicysnowman8886]

It baffles me how idiodic people are thinking they know more than engineers from Toyota you think you know more than a company spending millions to design and test these things because of a picture you see on the internet it pisses me off.

13 years old this tundra and still in the game.

you should do the RTI test on a Power Wagon and a Raptor the next time you get them in

[@edwinyurigattorno]

3 Doritos later... Resale value! TRD wins

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Toyota justifies the old c-frame on the Tundra, just like they justify using ancient drum brakes on rear end of the Taco!

[@humbertorubi4947]

Just tell me what kind of frame is used in the powerful 250 and 350 F series? After that start justifying why 👍🏻

[@spicysnowman8886]

Cheaper and discs aren't necessary for a midsize full size need them though

[@keystonerider1308]

Humberto Rubi I agree. People should open their eyes and see even the most heavy duty trucks in the world ie tractor trailers and they use c channel frames

[@AB-coyote]

New Superduty trucks use fully Boxed frames. The old C channel frame under last Superduty had a production run from 1999 - 2016

[@ArmondB30]

The Titan actually sounds better which is a surprise! I love the TRD dual exhaust, but it was not that deep. Now I know the Titan is quick! I had an '09 Tundra and that truck was quick. I still like both trucks.

[@reko3103]

I like the sound of the Titan more... to me it sounds more 'honest' ... I have a question. Does the tire pressure affect the RTI score?

[@98durangopack]

Tundra has no locker.....

[@s13one80]

I know right, especially for the TRD PRO? You'd think you'd get a rear electronic locking diff for the money you put down.

[@shotokanslammer1]

98durangopack don’t get greedy bro. It’s only a $60k truck out the door! 😂

[@spicysnowman8886]

It has a smart locker than can limit slip when the computer senses it.

[@WQQKIE]

Lockers are overrated, I use my Tundra off-road a lot, and I mean almost daily, in muddy terrain, rocky terrain and never ever have had the need to have lockers. Unless you’re rock climbing as a sport then I can see the need for them.

[@98durangopack]

Sun roofs are really only useful of you're going to have a hot chick hanging out the top of it. Otherwise they really dont provide anything

[@teeheeteeheeish]

I was a Chevy truck man and a ford car man for years. Loved my Chevy square bodies and the Ford 351w with the C6 trans; they don’t make vehicles like these anymore. I’ve since gone to Nissan and never looked back.

[@mikecoffin820]

My 2016 Tundra TRD Off-road has heated seats. Does the TRD Pro not have heated seats? The buttons to activate the seats aren’t very visible, they’re just below the climate controls with the 12V adapter and USB ports.

Toyota. Tundra... missing🎬 remote start, Android auto, Apple car play, keyless including tailgate, active fuel management and integration of smartphone app

All of which have 0 to do with reliability so my 11' Tundra with 182K laughs out loud!

[@crimson49er]

TFL crew, i dont understand the crawl ratio calculation. Why is a bigger number better & what does that mean to me as the driver?

[@thewhopper411]

The paint on Titan starts peeling eventually while the Tundra will continue to shine. Tundra's reliability is like 4x that of the Titan. They're both about the same price.
