I bought a 2007 and now own a 2018 Tundra. With both of these trucks, I have towed my 28' Airstream travel trailer all over the United States. Never have I had ANY kind of reliability issue or mechanical problem. Flawless performance from both with brilliant ease of towing. I may not have all of the electronic bells and whistles of other trucks, but I have solid reliable performance, up and down every mountain range in the U.S. Superb performance and supreme comfort. I wouldn't trade my Tundra for any other truck.

Honestly, id say screw the features, just more things that can break over time and cost a fortune to fix. Give me an original toyota pickup, or a 1st gen d150 (either 318 or 360) where all you need to fix them is WD40, a screwdriver and a couple wrenches. Are they efficient? Kind of. Are they luxurious? Hell no. Can they run forever if well maintained? Yup. I remember as a kid our water pump on our '84 ramcharger (318) went out on a Sunday evening in Windsor Ontario. My father fixed it really quick once we found an auto parts store open and with minimal tools. Couldn't realistically do that with any vehicle made today.

yes and no... to get the diesel, it'll most likely be 10k more expensive and comes with a whole slew of emission hardware that are super prone to failure, even at Toyota's standards. Not to mention the extra expense of DEF. You could do a delete, which would give you the best thing about diesels, but that's a few grand just to do that and the engine has to get tuned... therefore losing out on potential warranty. F150 and RAM's diesels aren't selling like hotcakes either, so the market is very small, not profitable enough for Toyota to spend millions to try to get it emissions approved for the US

@@chrishansen7004 That's a whole different category, most people who buy heavy duties actually use them as trucks, while most half tons are just for getting groceries and getting to the mall. Why did you think Ford, GM and Ram took so damn long to bring out diesels in half tons? and the American Ford Ranger is the only country that doesn't come with a diesel, some countries only sell it with a diesel engine. Regulations, since they sell half tons so much more than heavy duties, they're a lot more strict, and the market for diesel engine is so small they need to really find out if it's worth investing. Petrol is still by far the biggest seller even with the available diesel in half tons. Toyota will come out with a hybrid Tundra before they put a diesel in it. It'll most likely use less gas while towing a lot more.

These are really ball park numbers from memory: lockers cost about $1000 each and everything else was about $1500. So maybe $3500-4000 for my setup. This is from memory. If I was looking to save money I'd just go rear locker with a basic air compressor and look to a local shop. Maybe less than 2k. I know 4 Wheel Parts had them. It does completely change the truck. It totally eliminated the biggest weekness. Good luck!

Same comments on all the toyota videos. Buy what makes you happy and what aligns with your beliefs as to what the best truck is. Pretty simple. For me it was the Tundra. I didn't even look at anything else. Bought my 16 almost four years ago. Had the radio replaced and that's it. Radio still worked but one of the functions stopped working. Trucks been flawless. I've towed cars with no issue and been all over with it. Ppl talk about poor mileage but what they don't know or mention is the gear set is 4.30. No other half ton comes close to a 4.30 rear end!! Its a superior towing gear set but does have a small mileage penalty. The tundra also doesnt have all the gimmicks used by other manufacturers to try and squeeze out another mpg or two. Start stop? JUNK. E torque? JUNK. Cylinder deactivation? JUNK. small displacement turbocharged engines? JUNK. When everyone else keeps adding more and more gears to their transmission and having issues with those transmissions, Toyota has a great thing going with the solid Aisin 6spd. The tundra routinely beats the EPA figures by a mpg or two from my experience where as it's pretty much impossible to hit even EPA numbers for the other trucks choked full of gimmicks. So the real numbers are MUCH closer than magazines and paid journalists would have you believe. If you want fluff, buy another brand. It will go nicely with your brand new 1,200 cell phone. If you're a man who has a brain, buy a tundra. Done.

To me the things brought up here are the most important. Reliability. I couldn't care less for the latest touch me buttons and air conditioned radio knobs. I want a truck to be a truck. I bought a 17 ram tradesman new. My biggest complaints are the cartridge style oil filter on top of the engine and a sealed transmission unit. Seriously you're not going to give me a dipstick in a work truck. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to this before I bought it. I've driven dodge/ram trucks for 16 years it was just a go to type thing. It would be great if you guys included in your new truck reviews, serviceability. Can you replace the U-joints on the drive shaft? Does the transmission have a dipstick? Are the things that commonly need to be serviced such a starters, spark plugs and coils easy to get to? For a lot of us those are still very important factors. The last time my Ram saw a dealership was 78,000 miles ago when I first bought it.I know I'm not alone in that. Anyway.

@supremeirohnic4 жыл бұрын
Tundra has a cartridge filter on the bottom, requiring a 64mm filter wrench to remove, after removing the factory skidplate to access (unless you have the TRD plate, RCI plate, or P&P plate that have access doors). Transmission is not sealed, that's just dealerspeak for 'we don't want to work on it'. The way Aisin does it with the Tundra, there's a fill plug, a pan drain plug, and a check plug that has a straw going up to a certain level. You need to get the transmission fluid to somewhere around 115F (service manual specifies a more exact low and high check temp range) and remove the check plug. Fluid should just trickle with the truck running. Much more accurate way to set the level than a dipstick. For vehicles already warmed up, dealers often have a straw insert kit that can reach to a higher level to compensate for higher temps, with different length straws for different temperatures. When I've done the trans fluid I've just used the built-in straw and spotted the pan with an infrared temp gun. On a steel pan it's usually almost exactly what the onboard pan temp sensor reads, within 2F tops. Generally takes 10-15 minutes from dead cold fluid to warm up to the check range, but once there don't dawdle, ya gotta get 'er level set within a couple minutes. Easiest to slightly overfill and remove the check plug right at bottom temp, then let drain until it slows to a trickle, keeping an eye on the rising temp to make sure it doesn't go out of range.

That is a lot of truck for the money. I added a leveling kit (+2" front end) and some some meaty M/T tires on rims similar to these TRD PRO wheels.

Fuel mileage is horrible, but I work from home and only drive a little around town. I won't be towing much, or hauling much.

In fact, I just filled the bed with a hand truck, and a bunch of mulch. I really wanted a V8. Interior? I find the 1794 to be beautiful. Great leather. The truck is simple, but geez, what has happened to us? I've got lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, front warning sensors, backup camera, a sunroof, responsive touch screen. I mean, do we really need all the gadgets that cost a fortune to add to a TRUCK? I'll probably eat my words when the 2022s are announced that have all the added gadgets - but one thing is for sure - Toyota will execute them well and they will be reliable.

The ford and dodge buckled badly, the chevy bucked a little, the tundra was still able to open the doors. When the new tundra comes out it will no doubt be class leading, and when the others come out they'll do better.

It's Private more like 100k after you pay for one of the worst mpg.

They're giving these things away (maybe not the TRD PRO trims tho) with really steep discounts because basically no one is buying them. Personally I understand the (perceived, IMO) reliability of the vehicle, but I'm not buying something because it'll be mediocre longer than anyone else. I also was thoroughly disappointed in the interior quality of even the Platinum and 1776...1784....1842...whatever edition. Granted, it was a pretty tempting price but everyone but Nissan put up a far more compelling product than Toyota both times I've been in the market for a truck.

On stock tires I get 17 miles per gallon on my 1794 tundra all day long with good gasoline. I also have a Ford F150 and a Chevy Silverado and they don’t get any better mileage they get the same between 15 and 17 miles per gallon so they can say anything they want on the sticker but in real world driving the mileage is no better. TFL did the same test on a video about a year ago and got the same results so I don’t see how they can complain on their videos about the gas mileage.

great review guys. Love my tundra - not a rattle, creak or issue in 90k miles. If you can't drive without front camera you shouldn't be driving a truck. I also don't pass 100 of them a day like my old 150.

Cool to see push button start. Funny fact in my 2015 Tundra if you just slightly blip the key and let go the truck will continue to crank until it starts. The "Push Button" start has been there all along. You just turn a key but you're not really turning the key

As tested $54k? You cannot get the army green for that. No way. Full msrp is almost $58k. Dealers are tacking on $3k premium on top of that. And it still sells immediately the minute it hits the dealer lot. I paid more for this 2020 army green trd pro than my previous 2017 1794. Lots of new cool addition to the new model. Push button start Keyless entry Intelligent cruise control No more antenna (fin antenna on roof) Bull all that money and the tail gate isn’t even a power lock And it comes with ridiculous 18” baby tires. Cmon Toyota.

Just went past 115,000 on my third Tundra. It doesn't have all the "toys" to play with when you're supposed to be DRIVING. That's why I love it. I pull a 16' trailer loaded with metal from Mexico quite often and the little hills that this beast comes to will make you smile. Most times the transmission won't even downshift , it just pulls it, lotsa torque. My first Tundra lost a fuel pump at 45K. Toyota replaced it and all I've done with the trucks since then is drive the hell out of it. It's always ready to go. It'll be my "Go To" truck - unless they decide to "pretty it up". Oh, I love the look on the faces of those guys in the "RAM" when I pass them with a trailer loaded with metal, way out there in the "Wildhorse Desert" of South Texas.

Not on these. Meatier tires and 500 lbs of extra weight in the back doesn't budge the mpg's even 1 mpg down. It's turbo sixes that suffer when you do that.

@@Irven51 I've seen a number of "modern V8's" with the displacement-on-demand systems see significant hits to their MPG when loaded too. Maybe something like this that is all-V8-all-the-time won't care I guess, which is why it just has crap MPG all the time.

Solid unbiased review as always. While the truck has aged, it has aged well and is still very capable and reliable and still looks, sounds and feels awesome. While I look forward to the next generation I hope they don’t replace the power plant like they did with the current generation Hilux, by opting for a smaller 2.8L Diesel instead of a 3.0L Diesel or a 4.0L Supercharged V6 Petrol engine. I wish they sold these full size trucks in Fiji. I got the chance to drive one of these bad boys in the States last year in Vegas and have driven a Sequoia as well with the same V8 power plant, great rides the both of them. Having said that after being a lifelong Toyota fan and previous owner of the LN166 2.8L Diesel Hilux and D4D 3.0L Diesel Hilux I made the switch to the 3.0L V6 Diesel Volkswagen Amarok which is a far superior truck comfort wise, fuel efficiency wise, power performance wise and overall build wise. You guys would love to drive one of these mid size bad boy trucks if they were sold in the US. Thanks again for the review, huge fan of you guys work.

I have the 2020 TRD Pro and I have a 38 Gallon take that it says gets about 575-600 miles a tank. I am getting about 13mpg as I live in city with bad traffic. Its amazing man and the ride is even better than my 2016 was. Feels like I am gliding on air. I am not kidding it rides amazing. Oh and for yall that have kids when rolling the window up is have sensors that if it detects a object(hand) its rolls back down.
