@@fbl5856 how modern does a truck have to be. It comes standard with safety tech that others only offer on their higher end models or don't offer at all, like collision avoidance with autonomous braking amd lane departure. What do the others offer that the tundra doesnt, gas mileage? A knob to back a trailer? Whoever needs that needs to learn how to drive. Only thing it lacks is massaging seats, which I don't need. Makes its max torque of 401 at a lower rpm than any other v8. Reliability is second to none, as is resale value. It does a great job at being a truck. It's only out add if you're a techie who needs all the latest gadgets and gimmickry. How long did it take for the domestics to catch up to the 5.7? Quite a while. Yes they've caught up now, but the 5.6 still holds its own. It is getting long in the tooth though but I'd still take it over the big 3 even if they do have more tech gadgets. None of my dad's tundras have ever been in the shop for anything but oil changes. And just a couple years ago none of the trucks had any of the tech stuff they have now. I like that it's basic and honest with no gimmickry or extra crap to go wrong like cylinder deactivation etc. It's a basic good truck. I drive a titan XD only because I wanted a little more capability than a half ton without the punishing ride of a 3/4 ton, otherwise I'd have bought a tundra. But these days there really are no bad trucks. They are all pretty reliable. But long term the tundra has an edge.

The Bilstein suspension is just fine offroad and it has the same LSD as the pro. If you want to see it as a flagship offroad truck, why would you get rid of the locking dif??

I get that, but it's a full size truck without a locker. It definitely has a better suspension, but 99.9% of people won't see a difference since they won't be putting themselves in a position that the regular 4x4 Offroad trim couldn't get itself out of because the locker (and the confidence that comes with having one) are now gone. And as a couple people have mentioned already, if you're serious about off roading your 2019 Tundra, it might make more sense with this model to get a 4x4 and build your own offroad package.

just did 3000 miles over Christmas in a 2019 Tundra Platinum. I was surprised the PRO did not have heated seats, dual climate, etc, since that is all available in the Platinum version. Guess the offroad goodies had to limit the interior goodies to make the price point. I changed out the tire to BFG KO2 before the trip, and the ride was exceptional. Average speed for the trip was 70-75, and gas mileage was 16-16.5 (calculated but was close to the computer). A little over 500 miles per tank (gas gauge leave about 5-10 gallons in the tank when on "E"). the 500 mile range was critical when OHIO gas price was $1.77, and New York thruway was $2.89... got home as price nearby was closer to $2.25. Family and friends were very happy with the ride, and commented on it. As far as suspension, I have stock Toyota, and at some point it will be replace. Tires are 20 inches, and that puts 70-74 MPH below 2000 RPM, but still have the 4.30 rear when needed. The rear will find a Air Locker added shortly, but had no problems with highway travel or around the farm. Overall, happy with the truck and not sorry to have passed on Ford or Chevy/GMC. I liked your review, and you should try it on the IKE towing test. Do not think it would be much worse that the Ford F150 Eco Boost at 3.3mpg(?), but would be nice to compare.

If you can get the TRD Pro for MSRP or a below it’s worth it. If the dealer has the typical $5k-10k markup, IMO get a Platinum or 1794 and build the suspension, wheels, and tires yourself.
@gwagb275 жыл бұрын
Midmo_Platinum I agree, I love the interior in the platinum editions. The suspension system on the trd pro is not necessary for a mostly daily highway/slight off road use. I personally have an 16 sr5 with a 3” front 1” rear lift on 33’s and it’s perfect for almost every situation.

I was thinking of doing that with a 1794. I like the look of the Pro though, good/grill, bed stamp, wheels, etc
@MidMoTundra5 жыл бұрын
Chad Krause I brought a Platinum and built it up. Only thing about the Pro that you can’t add easily is the bed stamp, everything else you can add or add better components and have a more upscale interior. I also got my Platinum well below MSRP, at the time dealer was asking $5,000 over MSRP for the Pros. After doing all my upgrades, I’m still below what I would have spent if I bought a TRD Pro over my Platinum

People always comment about tech missing from the Tundra, can anyone tell me what tech it is missing? The Tundra has blind spot assist, radar cruise control, blind spot assist, back up collision sensors, bluetooth, parking sensors. The only thing I can really think of is a heated steering wheel and cooled seats. These things are luxury items though and this thing is a truck not an S-Class Mercedes, although I’m pretty sure the Tundra even gives that a run for its money with the insane rear leg room.

Bought my 08 5.7 SR5 Tundra new. I avoided local dishonest Toyota dealer service dept when at all possible - refused to even buy it from them. I have a competent honest Toyota mechanic for routine maintenance. It still runs like new and tows like a champ 12 years later - long after all payments are gone. I am not addicted to the "gotta have new" trap and not impressed with un-needed gizmos and dislike the tracking devices stick on the new ones.

I have a serious question to ask about salt on the roads and the brine that they put out on the roads nowadays. Will a Tundra with a metal body last you longer then a F-150 with a an aluminum body? Aluminum still corrodes but it does not rust. We should look at doing a long-term test of the first-year aluminum Bodied F-150 and keep tabs on it when it starts to show corrosion. I know most trucks are rusting underneath the back corner of the cab and I would probably get a good rust proof inside there sprayed when I buy the vehicle. Just something to keep in mind and bring up on your next live show. Thanks guys

Just ad a lift and lockers, and drive this tundra for decades.
I purchased a new 2019 Tundra double cab limited and my fuel consumption is very similar to my 2014 Silverado 5.3. The Tundra is worse unloaded and better than the chev with a 10,000 pound dump trailer. Much better throttle response and firm suspension. Overall a tighter stronger truck. Not to mention I spent $6000+ in maintenance and repairs after 5 years and 150,000 km.
@Gazziza295 жыл бұрын
To not have a leather wrapped steering wheel and at least heated seats in a $50k plus truck is inexcusable IMO. I don't need all the other tech and creature comforts but those two should be a minimum. You're honestly better off getting a Tundra Platinum and putting an aftermarket lift on it. That's what the TRD Pro Tundra should have been.

Not sure why the hate for no locker. My ‘18 Limited Tundra on the factory bridgestones, Auto LSD engaged, made it up loose dirt hills on my property easier than the ‘15 High Country I traded in for it that had the G80 locker. I always had to engage 4WD on the high country because it’d just sit and spin. The Tundra transferring power to the tires with grip seemed to work better. The High Country had Bridgestone Dueler AT’s and the Tundra has HT’s. And of course as I like to mention the High Country had to go into the dealer 6 times by 27k miles and the 6th time was for a radiator replacement due to it leaking. So far all I’ve done is have the oil changed once in the Tundra.
