It's about time TFL. I was just thinking I miss the old days of Andre/Mr Truck and the Ike. These are the videos that got TFL where it is today

[@machfive916]

I like watching TFL tow at max truck ratings, as these really show what the trucks are made of. Awesome truck, but $77K is so steep for a 1/2 ton pickup.

I'll keep my 5.7 till the wheels fell off nice

Leave the heavy towing to domestic turbo diesel trucks. If you use that Tundra like I use my GMC 2500 HD it simply won’t hold up to the abuse. Brakes, frame, suspension not heavy enough in a Tundra. The Rental dealer I I frequent won’t allow customers to pull skid steers on a trailer with a Tundra or most any other half ton trucks.Said too much liability. Said a customer insisted his Tundra was enough truck to tow 12K lbs, after hooking up trailer rear end was excessively pushed to the ground. Would not allow customer to drive away, ended up delivering with there F-350. Don’t kid yourself with these half ton trucks.

I would advise those interested in towing to not be fooled by the horse power and towing capacity. Focus more on "Dry Hitch Weight". Any trailer over 6000LBS will probably put you over Occupancy and Cargo payload Capacity. And don't even think about towing a 5th wheel.... Because you will be maxed out by the time you load 4 people, camping equipment, food, water etc. Also pay attention to the the sticker inside the driver side door for actual towing and cargo specs. Do not rely on what the Toyota web site says... I am sorry that I purchased my 2024 Toyota and trying to sell it.

Great Job! I agree you guys should have a chart at the end with different trucks models, truck year, payload and mpg. So far, I like what I see with Tundra.

[@jacksonbangs6603]

Given how long Toyota has been making hybrids, you think they would by now be able to make an even better hybrid pickup truck. Not impressed.

[@dalejones4322]

Great to see Mr. Truck. I love the Ike. It's interesting to see these trucks pushed to their limits. Thanks guys for a great video

You guys should have a chart at the end with different trucks models, truck year, payload and mpg. To compare between make and MY. thanks!

When Andre says once in a while Ford has a problem that is translated into every single time but don't get mad at us Ford.

[@AgentSmith911]

Mr Truck and Andrey on the Ike! Best combo 😊👍🏻

[@sullybiker6520]

I liked Andre's yelp of surprise in the intro. Always a good time with Mr. Truck!

[@the1doubledeuce]

It's great to finally see a towing video with the hybrid Tundra. I have a 22' Limited, and it tows my 19' NOBO like a dream. Immediately after breaking it in, I took a family vaca to Glacier, from Eastern WA, and I was impressed.

[@erineopenaloza8311]

Love to see Mr. Truck! These videos are what brought me to TFL and I love to see this combo again of Mr. Truck and Andre.

[@kylewilliams6096]

Re-test this same tow test with the Tundra hybrid actually in tow-haul or tow-haul + mode. The Tundra was never in any tow haul mode going up hill only down hill I’m sure there would be a huge difference with it actually on come on TFL make sure these test are done right and equally all the way around before comparing apples to apples thanks and keep up the great work.

We’ve got a 2011 Silverado 6.2L that the wife uses to pull her horses to shows anywhere from 10 to 500 miles away. Total weight of trailer and horses is about 7k lbs. Since the Silverado is > 11 years old and the miles are starting to get up there, I’ve been thinking of replacing it with a new truck. The Tundra Hybrid looks like it brings a LOT of updates to the equation including larger fuel capacity (32 vs 26 gallons), lower octane fuel requirements (regular vs premium), higher load and towing capacity, and a better ride/environment. In addition, with the air suspension, you can inflate and balance a heavier towing load or deflate and enjoy a nice ride with no load. I’m thinking that in addition to pulling the horses, this would be a nice road trip vehicle with good comfort & range. This might just be the one we need. Thanks for the excellent review Andre and Mr. Truck!

[@anthonyrodriguez113]

I love seeing Andre and Mr Truck going on the Ike together. Both of you guys got me started watching TFL years ago. It’s about time!! Keep it going guys love your content

[@connorjohnson3291]

Would be interesting if you re-did the Ike with the same weight that you towed behind the non-hybrid to see if apples to apples, the hybrid powertrain actually gets better MPG or not💪

[@mscottlawrence2037]

Love you guys, what a dynamic duo, keep doing your thing guys and thanks a million

[@pt93music]

I think this truck is a good starting base for the new Tundra platform. I'm hoping they do some tweaking to it over time to get it better fuel mileage and maybe higher power export figures. But overall this truck seems to be a big upgrade over a previous gen Tundra and provided Toyota has in fact fixed the waste gate problem on the early manufactured ones and this has good reliability I think it will be a great truck option for many.
