Andre, Judging by your reaction I have to ask, is this the first pickup with an 8 foot bed ever seen on TFL? ;-) Steve, thanks for introducing us to a genuine work truck in basic, highly functional specification. Good luck with your new Tundra! As you usually own your trucks for a long time, please come back in yearly intervals to keep us updated. We really NEED to know if the turbo V6 and 10 speed transmission are as good as the powertrain they replaced. 🙂

[@Boobtube.]

I second this... Keep in touch, Steve

[@TFLtruck]

Yes, this is the first Tundra 8-ft bed I spent some time with. However, I have driven MANY heavy-duty pickup trucks with 8-foot beds.

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@TFLtruck Andre, No offense was intended. Maybe I should have been more specific and said 1/2 ton pickup with an 8 foot bed. Many old-timers like myself still consider pickups as work vehicles as opposed to 'lifestyle choices' so we expect a 3 ton truck to be able to carry a few sheets of plywood or a bunch of 2X4s with the tailgate closed. Many of us grew up around station wagons that could hold that kind of load. Come to think of it, my car can carry 8 foot 2X4s inside with its fold-forward front passenger seat. If I am loading a handful of 2X4s inside my compact wagon and see a $60,000 pickup with 8 foot 2X4s dangling 3 feet beyond the tailgate, I chuckle. At the end of the day, some of us just like to see modern half-ton pickups capable of doing the things low-tech trucks did very easily decades ago.

[@normt430]

"While Americans can’t seem to get enough of the mid-size pickups from Japanese automakers, they absolutely shun their full-size trucks. According to data from WardsIntelligence, the highest market share Toyota has seen with Tundra was 9.1% and that was in 2007. It currently hovers in the 5% range. It’s even worse for Nissan. The best the Titan was able to muster was 3.5% of the market in 2005. Today it’s at 1.5%. With the Detroit Three commanding 94% of full-size pickup sales this year, it might almost make more sense for Toyota and Nissan to share a large truck platform." Autoline

I’ve owned my 22 Platinum for 3wks now. Traded in a 14 with 250k that I bought new. Still have my 2007 5.7L that I bought new. The 2022 is a major upgrade in every way. Ride quality, fit and finish, towing, hauling, general power…you can tell they made a major effort to totally reinvent the truck. Averaging 19mpg mixed driving which is a huge upgrade alone. Don’t know what the future holds in terms of reliability, but I’m willing to roll the dice on Toyota. Great video. Really appreciate real world owner feedback.

[@hb5712]

@@greatcornholio5541 in parts of Europe I believe there's a mandatory headlamp sprayer requirement. Pretty sure I can rig something up (spray & heat} that will do the trick to keep the sensors running. I travel a lot overseas and experience these problems with every new rental vehicle that have these type of sensors installed. In general I think it's a half-baked idea. Many times when I'm overtaking another vehicle my vehicle suddenly breaks very sharply. I've had to adapt my driving Style to the computerized safety system. Definitely not a fan. A few weeks ago overseas my rental vehicle braked on its own very sharp. The vehicle behind me braked very sharp and the vehicle behind him hit him. On the other hand in an emergency braking situation in aggressive driving it suddenly comes into play and it's useful though it's still a half-baked idea

MDF and melamine sheets are 49"x97". If they don't fit between the wheel wells then the Toyota engineers are completely out of touch with construction needs. 5'x5' Scaffold frames also need to fit between the box sides.

Suggestion for the cloth seats and avoiding the rings with water: when you get the truck, buy a can of 3M Scotch Guard and spray your seats - and your carpets if you want! - I recommend 2 layers at least, ideally 3 layers. You could then spill red wine on your seat and pretty much just wipe it off with a damp cloth and it will never show... even on pale fabric... repeat the treatment every couple years... (also works on any fabric!)

[@aaronbehindbars]

It's interesting that the owner noted the new truck's bed being narrower. I am not super familiar with the older Tundras, but I suspect it's due to the design of the new sheet molded composite bed. The interior bed sides look like they don't have the same concavity that you get with a stamped steel bed. Unless you are regularly filling the bed with loose material like pea gravel or dirt, that extra volume is pretty useless. Let's say you are loading boxes, there isn't much you can do with that extra bit of space.

[@goddzirra]

What possible reason do you have for rationalizing cost cutting? It's significantly narrower, has less usable space, and is now composite. This is unacceptable in a 40k+ truck. Toyota fans will do the craziest mental gymnastics to pretend their trucks aren't hot garbage.

[@adamton7274]

I just measured my 2011 Tundra it's 66" wide and 49.5" between the wheels

[@aaronbehindbars]

@@goddzirra I'm not a Toyota fan if you were referring to me. I haven't owned a Toyota in 12 years and didn't love that truck (Tacoma). Who's to say that composite bed doesn't cost more to manufacture than a steel bed? Those composite beds have their advantages, too. It was one feature I liked on my Tacoma and like the composite bed on my Ridgeline. It will never rust, doesn't dent, and it doesn't need to have a spray on lining to protect it. GMC also offers a composite bed in the Sierra and it is an extra cost option. They seem pretty robust.

To me that's its biggest downfall. All new pickup trucks are great. It's the mechanical longevity that counts. If you keep your vehicle over 5 years.

Young you is? If you can find the first generation Toyota Tundra maybe like 03-06 with low mileage and the 4.7 motor. then get one of those. Do the due diligence. Inspect it well. They are really great trucks. That 4.7 motor is amazing. The used prices now though are crazy. My two cents.

[@treypelham5515]

I’d get the CrewMax with the 6.5 foot bed and if I need to tow a utility trailer to finish up the job, then that’s fine with me.

[@kylekirchner1163]

I love that configuration! I have owned that configuration in a 2007. 163 WB 3 inch’s longer than my 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually.

[@willrestaino9282]

This is a real truck guy who uses his truck nothing fancy but everything he needs I respect that

[@TRDTalk]

Great honest take on the Tundra!

[@roywall8169]

You can’t fix ugly. Nice input from a real owner.

[@tammieandrzejczuk2573]

The amount of blank switches would drive me crazy

[@golferpro1241]

Real owners tell the truth. Great video. Thought the rear seat lacks legroom. If the driver is 6’2, forget about it!

[@tinhinnh]

Well, thats why they have the Crewmax 😁 just no long bed

[@jacobstrutner8232]

If you have any rear passengers with legs they won't fit in any truck besides a real crew cab truck.

[@cristian333GTX]

I like this tundra and the owner sounds honest and he get what he need for his life and work, thanks Andrew for bring this awesome video, I hope see more videos like this, 🤙🏼🤙🏼👌🏼.

[@KevinJohnson-cr3yb]

i bought this same truck in white…getting a 3” lift now…already took it offroad at stock height and tires…amazing response and great truck

[@9663mu]

Great video! Love it when the tape measure comes out. 😍😍

[@igglybiggly6951]

Seeing this almost makes me want to buy a super clean 2004-2006 double cab Tundra,but they're still commanding low to mid 20's.....IF you can find one

[@TheCaptainmojo1973]

I think I’ll just stick with the trusty ol’ V8. No turbos to worry about, engine less stressed. Saving a few $ on fuel isn’t always worth the trade offs. The 8ft long bed is definitely the way to go. P.S. my 2012 long bed is exactly 98” long not including the gate and 66” wide lower inside wall to wall. I also love my under seat storage tool boxes that came standard.

[@willb1242]

Let me see if I've got this right. They made the rear seat smaller. They made the bed smaller. They made it harder to access. And they charge more for it all. What Tundra owner would call these "improvements" ... ? I don't get the product planning logic here.

[@fluffy_rod1133]

My dad just got one of these and he is in love with it

[@redpillforreal3053]

No one knew how good the old Toyotas were until after the others brand trucks are breaking down and the Toyota is still going

[@killernp1317]

I absolutely love my 22 Tundra. Plan on driving it for years to come

[@MC4D.]

The wheel base with this cab looks odd, but I understand the functionality of it. The hidden door handle on the rear door from the previous gen would look better than the bulky door handle. IMO, this wheelbase with a crew cab would be a good configuration for those looking for a bit longer bed in a crew cab.

[@otahu26]

We've Been Toyota Owners for 40 years. As for Tundra's. 07, 08, 2010, 2012, 2017. And we still have the 2012 crew max and the 2017 double cab limited. We took a New Tundra for a weekend. The dealer was great. But there's NO WAY!! We'd buy a new tundra. Fit and finish issues. The Sag in the rear end when loaded is very disappointing. Even hooking up a double trailer with two atv's made it drop a good 4 inchs in the rear. An we felt it hit the rubber bumpers. The crappy Mileage while towing is less then the 5.7 while towing. There something from Driving a Semi truck for years. You need some weight. To cost. Anyone who buys a Tundra or any Full size Pickup. IS not looking at gas Mileage. Gas Mileage is at the bottom of the list.

[@LionRunner]

This is the problem with Toyotas. When they don't give issues you don't look at others. When my dad started in 1987 Corolla I started loving Toyota and wasn't confident enough to buy anything else. That old 1987 still runs young after 223K on ODO in 2019 with original engine and transmission. Not sure how much he has driven by now.

[@Natethegreat200c]

Did you say Toyotas don’t give issues? Living under a rock 🪨.

[@LionRunner]

@@Natethegreat200c Sorry they are really bad..😀😀

[@juanmancinas56]

I'll be buying my first tundra in 5-6 weeks. Im super excited. I too chose the 8ft bed. I make outdoor tables and this will make deliveries a lot easier.

[@pel6586]

I also think the older double cab tundra had more cab space then the new double cab tundra .

[@codename7832]

I love how Tundra FanBoys were putting Ford down for fitting half ton pickup trucks with 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo .... and now .... just two months down the road .... I LOVE THE POWER OF V6 🤣

[@bobl8687]

Love this new format. Keep them coming! Great job Andre!

[@nkyryry]

God these trucks are a big chunky squared off mess. Super ugly.

[@brandonobaza8610]

I'm renting a 2020 Tundra 5.7 SR5 TRD Off-road while my car is in the shop. If you live near Mount Pocono, I think Enterprise is trying to sell it. 20k miles on the ODO. They asked if I was in the market to buy when I picked it up.

[@dlg5485]

He's just owned it for a few days which isn't long enough to make any informed judgements about the truck. You need to do a follow up with this owner in 6 months or so.

[@danielmeador1991]

I’d say 3 years

[@dlg5485]

@@danielmeador1991 6 mos is long enough to get a solid feel for a new vehicle, but ongoing updates over a long time span would certainly be insightful.

[@danielmeador1991]

@@dlg5485 not to me these new vehicles are getting more complex day after day

[@1Whitetail]

I've owned aTundra sr5 since Dec of 99, a new 2000 for my DIVORCE lol. Almost 300000 miles on it when my son in law took over it when I got a new Tundra sr5 in 2014, here it is March 2022 and still going strong. Not for sure on the new one yet just wait and see. Honestly I think my 14 is not as tough as the 2000 was so ????

[@lrcreamer]

I bought my first Tundra a 2021 and had to add a Trans cooler but the V8 has proven to be reliable the JURY is still out on the v6 turbo

[@wt9653]

I had a Ford Powerstroke crew cab with 8 ft bed. It was a bucking horse on the concrete segment highway going through Utah.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

11:50 So the mirror is still manual dimming! It has dimming so that's fine. I'm used to not having dimming function at all.
