It had 240k i sold it with 280k for $1,200. Same price i bought it for after 2 years of me driving it. I didn't want to sell it she ran like a brand new car. I never had to fix anything, ever! But i didn't pass for my license in time & i needed a place to live so i dold it for down deposit money. She sold in the first month if sitting on the side of the road.

If you use it primarily for towing put a transmission cooler on it. They took the transmission cooler off back in 2018. You can buy kits that have a transmission cooler and thermostat they’re not hard to install. I installed one in my 2021 tundra they’re not hard to put in at all. Well worth it I saw transmission temperatures dropped dramatically and that is the life of your transmission were talking about.

I have a 2014, the year my daughter was born. I got a buck thirty five on it and it is also a Texas pickup truck! Love it.

2019 Tundra Limited Crewmax over here ! Precovid purchase brand new in June 2019 thanks Scotty for the recommendation ! I made a couple of purchases you recommend already.

[@val-xo7ud]

I've driven a V6 tacoma 2019 with 8k in tow and got anywhere from 8 to 12 mpg. Also drove a 2020 F450 powerstroke twin turbo and got around 15 mpg towing around 10k plus lbs. Yes its diesel vs gas but still thats a huge difference.

[@stufoo]

i think more importantly its a taco vs a F450...

[@manandatractor]

My F250 6.7 PowerStroke gets 19mg unloaded. Obviously gets worse pulling something. Torquey little devil too.

[@TXchadTX]

I have it in black and after two years of ownership i can tell you - it is the most well made truck. It isn’t the nicest or the fanciest. But if you want something that will last 400,000 miles….this might be the last one left.

[@Babylon6969]

Same here. I’ve got a black 2020. Great truck

[@jimc4931]

Hi Scotty, I've long been a fan of Toyota products. I have a 2006 Tundra that I bought new. It has 176,000 trouble free miles on it. I also own a 1987 Toyota P/U that I purchased new and it has 240,000 miles on it and it still runs like a top. A few days ago I purchased a 2021 Tundra with only 4,049 miles on it. It's like a new truck and I'm excited to own it. I'm older now and it will probably be the last truck I will ever own. I think you're right about the Tundras they seem to last forever. I was very disappointed when Toyota dropped the V8 engine in 2022 and I don't feel like the newer ones will hold up as well as the older ones. Thanks for the great videos.

[@stevensmith1911]

[@HarjeetSingh-ev8vk]

I have a 2017 tundra limited with 90k miles on it. In my experience the engine actually has become smoother once it was past 50k miles. Insides are classy, thing is simple to maintain and the looks are quiet attractive. In terms of towing it is probably the best in its class.

Tundra is a great truck. But not best in class towing.

I waited to see what the 2022 would be like. After seeing the full reveal and specs, I opted for a 2019 Tundra Limited TRD with 22k on the clock from one state over in the Rocky Mountain west. Bought mine in March and paid sub-$50k for mine and basically traded my diesel Bison +$500 in doc fees. I’m a Toyota guy, had all sorts over the years, easily my favorite truck and will run it forever.

[@stevenlefebvre2991]

FYI a popular upgrade on the 21 is a transmission cooler I did it to mine it really helped bring down the transmission temperature and I’m sure it will increase the longevity. My 2017 tundra has the transmission cooler they took it off for the 19 version forward. Not a problem I installed a high-quality aftermarket cooler with the factory thermostat and factory hoses and piping. All available on the Internet with a kit. Definitely worth installing much lower transmission temperatures now. Just like my 2017. I also plan on keeping these trucks till I’m dead.

2016 Tundra, 177k on the odo living in the mountains of Colorado. 6 inch lift, 35's, steel bumpers, winch, intake, exhaust and other stuff.

I'm still driving my '95 4WD Suburban that I bought new 27 years ago. My daily driver is a 2014 Mazda 6. Not ready to replace the Suburban yet (only has 158k miles) but I've always considered the V8 Tundra as the next vehicle for me. I have zero interest in a turbocharged V6. But this close to retirement, dropping $50-60k for a used vehicle is gonna require some serious thought.

Don't get rid of that Suburban! Especially with that low amount of miles on it unless your wealthy enough to not care about paying the rediculious prices for newer vehicles today.

If you baby that suburban it will last the rest of your life. The transmission might go out eventually if you're towing a lot, but their cheap and common. If it's in good shape, I'd keep it.

The only bad thing with the TRD Tundra is it doesn’t have a rear locker, never understood why the top of the line off road doesn’t come with one.

[@brentsimpson9842]

I fully agree with you. I have owned Ford's, Chevy's, Nissan and Dodge and out of these I liked the Nissan Titan the best, I owned 2. I purchased a 2016 Ford F150 with the Ecoboost and really had no issues, but the paint quality and fit and finish of the truck was just not up to par. I did like the motor though. I put a lot of miles on my vehicles in a short amount of time. The best MPG I got out of my F150 was 22 mpg and that was rare. If your running 75-80 on the interstate (like I do), it dropped to 17. I had never owned a Toyota, but know a lot of people with Tundra's and they swear by them. I decided to ditch the F150 and purchased a 2020 Tundra Platinum 4X4 Crew Cab. It was somewhat hard to find. IMHO, it was the best deal out there vs the F150 Platinum and Chevy/GMC. I absolutely love everything about the truck and don't think it is outdated at all. I did not want to wait on the New V6 turbo model, I wanted the tried and true V8. It lacks no power and believe it or not, on the road running 75-80 I am getting 19 mpg. The more "crap" they put on these newer trucks, the more problems. Enjoy the new truck!

I have a '22 Tacoma TRD sport 6MT (thank you Toyota) in the same color (Lunar Rock). It's a pretty unique color, even within the flat gray category. Under various lighting conditions it's sometimes a flat primer gray, other times more minty. Plus it seems to hide dirt and salt well. IMO it looks great on both trucks and the 4Runner, but I don't love it on the RAV4. Of course tastes vary, but it seems LR has been a popular choice.
