NEW 2025 Toyota Tundra Feature Just Went NEXT LEVEL!

[@rickp6391]

That power tailgate is a mechanically complex solution to a nonexistent problem. When that motor craps out, and it will, do you really want that expense???

[@DavidWX877]

lets face it a real truck guy is not interested in a power liftgate. It's just something extra to break over time.

[@calientemac1]

I can see someone accidentally activating it to lower it and it lowers right onto something causing damage. Seems like an accident waiting to happen 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bccal5982]

I wouldn't be so confident in saying "nonexistent problem". If I am carrying bulky stuff that requires two hands operation, I can give it a simply knee tap instead of dropping down the items to close the tailgate then pick the items back. How reliable it is going to be will be up to Toyota to figure out, but it certainly is useful feature and help sales.

[@ride-it-outtimandtoni232]

I love my 2008 Tundra crew max but the light weight self lowering tailgate that folded in half under load is it’s only let down.

[@AntonioMartinez-ed3wo]

Dudes, the 2025 model engines are being made with an upgraded alloy. It's not a secret. All of the 2024 or ealier models that need new engines will get that one.

[@jimmytimmy3680]

That's why you never buy new vehicles.

[@RyuRydr777]

Never seen the 4 gen Tundra on the side of the road either so the press is off kilter a good bit tbh

[@happycamper6352]

But they're ignoring the hybrids, that have the exact same engine with the same problem. There's just no government pressure to fix it because the electric motor can still get you off the highway if/when the engine dies, so Toyota isn't recalling those.

[@rgrkim]

finally! tailgate step coming in 2030?

[@micbravo.]

No tow hooks 🤦🏾‍♂️ yeah, Toyota is really listening/caring about customers feedback. At least make em' optional 😒

[@PHILLIPS8822]

I though by now after three years it would have tow hooks. Who the F cares about an electronic tail gate that in the long run will have a mechanical issue in about 6 years from wear

[@micbravo.]

@PHILLIPS8822 Exactly. I will not be giving Toyota any of my money for my next vehicle purchase. I currently have the 2nd generation and will take damn good care of it. When it's time for a new truck, I'm not sure what I'll end up getting, but it won't be this crap. GMC AT4X 🤔

[@happycamper6352]

I live in a community where everyone has a 1500 Chevy or Ram, F150, or Tundra. None of 'em do almost anything that would justify owning a truck, except tow a camper maybe 2-4 times a year. That's why Toyota won't listen to customers like us. We're a minuscule minority compared to these new pickup buyers that don't really need a truck at all, who trade their trucks long before a power lift gate fails. They just want to make living rooms with tiny stubby beds that still somehow get labeled as pickup trucks. Pathetic really, but Toyota still loves the money.

[@arronsong3913]

Smart ass engineers trying to slowly adding the features each year that's why they dont have tow hook, each year they add more features they go up on price.

[@Irishmanbikes]

This is what I like, step by step procedures how to opererate things.

[@coreygillum12]

The engine is a boat anchor but toyota is now in the gingerbread buisness just like GM with that stupid tailgate . What a waste of money.

[@johnnorcia6107]

Should have never got rid of 5.7. Will drive my reliable one with 5.7 till it's ready for junk yard. Then get a truck with a 8 Cylinder

[@Andrew-kt3bj]

I had the 2007 crew max and 2014 crew max 5.7. No problems. My 2007 had 610,00km. Looked and ran brand new. I wish I never sold it. My 2022 Limited..well..My payments are $357 every friday and I am on my 3rd motor...also..little snow on the front grill and my dash lights up

[@5JSG]

Dont want to see all the gimicks, what have they done about the engine?

[@1119-w3u]

Everyone saying more to break is kinda funny. My 2012 Highlander has a power liftgate and it still works... This tailgate might be the same weight if not a little bit lighter (since it is composite) so it should last like 10 or more years... Since everyone wants to BE A MAN and close it the old fashion way, then if the motor takes a crap then BE A MAN and take out the damn taillight then access the motor and change it... 😂🤷🏽‍♂️🎉

[@terrynichol577]

You know what's better than this? My 2019 5.7 v8

[@jn3098]

I totally agree I hav 2020 5.7 that tows no problems

[@juice3381]

Have they fixed the interior fit squeeks and rattles? The whistling door seals? The lack of cargo room in the hybrid models? Does it have front tow hooks yet? Is there an inverter in the bed area yet? Are the approach and departure angles still worst in class? Is the turning radius still horrendous? Is the premium jbl stereo still worst in class? Just curious if they have made any improvements.

[@happycamper6352]

Yes, all of these problems still exist, except, the inverter has always been available since 2022, although pathetic at 400 watts. Please don't complain about lack of interior cargo space. This is not a sedan, crossover, or SUV and complaints like yours further the problem of over-bloated cabs and stupid short stubby beds. If you want interior space, don't get a pickup truck or put a cap/topper on the bed.

[@juice3381]

Regarding cargo room. My 2014 has hardly any interior cargo space. Fast forward to 2024 and the hybrid not only takes a relatively flat floor but takes the entire flat floor. It's a de evolution and sheer incompetence by a design team that had a decade to get it right.

[@happycamper6352]

Tonneau covers are a joke. If you want a cover, get a proper topper/cap or buy an SUV.

[@MeatwhistlePhotos]

oh, yes! bring that back to toyota on the next recall

[@calientemac1]

Are they bringing back the 5.7 and did they improve payload capacities?

[@happycamper6352]

Almost no new pickup buyer puts any weight in their beds anymore. They buy a pickup to say they have a pickup. Pathetic.

[@prtube1]

I guess the only thing good with it is the tail gate? Call me when they fix their engine issue.

[@happycamper6352]

But that engine issue isn't even being offered a fix on the hybrids since the electric motor can still get you off the highway when the gas engine dies. So they're just fixing the non-hybrids and ignoring everyone else. It's the same engine with the same shortcomings but there isn't pressure from the government to fix it because of what I said above.

[@erichernandez3119]

So what, how about the friking engine ….it is FIX , you spend 10 minutes on the tail gate…..Really, get with program😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You're buying a car with a big hole cut in the roof. You'll likely have an issue at some point.

For me I wouldn't pay extra for the added work and grief.

[@GoldenK9Campers]

Why doesn't Toyota put the power inverters in these trucks like the Grand Highlander Iforce and the Tacoma IForce. Ford has been doing this on the F150 hybrid since 2021. Come on Toyota.

[@happycamper6352]

Because new pickup truck buyers are too ignorant to know how weak and limited a 400 watt outlet is. They just see the outlet and think it's as strong as a common 15 or 20 amp outlet in a house.

[@GoldenK9Campers]

@@happycamper6352 That sucks. We upgraded our RAV4 Prime to the top trim just to get a 1500W outlet. It's such a game changer being able to run most of our trailer when camping. It even run's the AC as long as we don't use the microwave. So strange.. even the RAV4 Hybrid has a 1500W outlet, but the Tundra (a work truck) does not. Can't figure it out for the life of me.

[@happycamper6352]

[@happycamper6352]

@@GoldenK9Campers Tundra can come with a 400w inverter. Just don't exceed 400w with it. That rules out vacuums, air compressors, plug in non battery tools, and many other things. You can, however, run a tool battery charger or laptop charger or lighting if under 400w. I have it on my Tacoma, but wish it was more wattage for actual plug in tools.

[@happycamper6352]

If you're buying a truck for the sound... Stop buying pickup trucks. You're the reason they charge us extra for fake engine noise in the audio system. What a waste. Go do something productive and stop talking about engine sound. (This said by a dude typing KZbin comments, I know lol...)

[@jes5434]

@happycamper6352 believe I said I like how they sound not the reason for buying the truck if ur going to make a comment like that don't assume something I never said and just for ur smart ass response I bought the truck because I've always owned toyota because in my opinion they make trucks that last because my first tundra that I still have has over 400 thousand and it has never been in a shop besides brakes and stuff like that

[@happycamper6352]

@@jes5434 I probably deserved that, as it was a bit unfairly harsh, but I get really worked up when I find fake engine noise that is bundled without a non-bundling option for higher performance hardware. Your first one that you say lasted so long was a real truck. I have no trouble believing that at all. We're already seeing tons (yes, literally and measurably tons) of failing Tundra engines, despite them all being less than 3 years old. Everyone wants to "feel something" when they drive their pickup truck, like they're trying to compensate for not feeling something without it. I don't need a truck to make me feel something, I need it to do something. I just saw a review of a Tundra where the sticker said that it only had 1300 pounds for payload... My old beat up Tacoma has 1280 (2009 access cab off-road) and I'm looking to replace it soon with something that can haul and tow more through some rough WV unimproved roads. The review truck can carry only 20 more pounds... that's less than two and a half gallons of milk difference for ~$70,000! I wish I could find your old Tundra, it's still probably in good shape and can haul more. I could probably toss in a load of oak and still have plenty of suspension travel.

[@jes5434]

@happycamper6352 I drive it to this very day it's been the best truck I have ever had I love toyota I was very disappointed to see them go the same way as all the other companies because they have always stood above the rest un my opinion and they was no reason for changing in my opinion

A somewhat full sized pick up with small corolla seats. No large front seat available. More of a 2+2, rather than roomy for adults, front and back seat. Toyota went for cheap rather than a pick up for adults.

[@happycamper6352]

No. No. Just... Stop. If you want nice seats, buy a car or SUV. Automakers have to stop listening to people that whine about comfort and they need to start going back to making trucks that can be trucks again. One row of seating, 8 foot bed, strong towing, off road strong, recovery points front and rear, and affordable for actual laborers that get work done.
