Toyota is the only CERTIFIED 1,000,000 GASOLINE engine miles. Since truck prices are skyrocketing durability is key so you keep it longer.

[@sevnlight6313]

The dumbest thing people do is trading their trucks in to dealerships. Because you get screwed twice. Overpriced new truck is one. Number two is the under book value you get for your trade in. Dealerships are milking you like a cow 🐄

[@hugostiglitz8465]

Why did Tfl have all gas engines with the Ford having a diesel? Not an apples to apples comparison that way.

[@chanseormon]

The Fast Lane Truck is there a USA version of this video?

[@revistadearmas]

A big Mistake to all manufacturers their prices are OUT of Reach for the middle class Canadian and American just keep adding 84 months loans

[@LordCoolnessocity]

Then your warranty expires half way through the loan process. Then we have to prepare for insane maintenance costs from then on.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

So why doesn't Canada make their own pickup truck to compete? By the time all the socialism gets rolled in it won't be any different in price and the truck won't be nearly as good.

[@01trsmar]

@@EGGINFOOLS ...GM,Ford and FCA are also Canadian Companies...They are Domestic Vehicles in Canada !!! Truck prices in Canada are the same as in America ,reason truck prices are higher in Canada is because Canadians on average make more money ,thus everything is a little more.... Toyota,Nissan,VW,etc are Imports in Canada..GM,Ford,FCA are Domestic ! Furthermore America has as much Socialism as Canada does...Look at your State how many laws and rules,in most cases America has more laws/rules than in Canada..its changing Canada is catching up ,15 years ago Canada had less laws and rules.. ***I live in both Countries,born in the U.S lived in Canada with my Mom for a bit then went back/forth to my Dads place ... Funny,Canada was the Conservative place to be for 12 years while America was a Sociaist hellhole with Obama for 8 !!! Thats what youre getting at,right..

[@larrytaylor1222]

as long as people keep buying them they will keep the prices up! they are offering up to 20% off in the us now to try to unload the year end inventory! but they are still to high!!!!

[@AkioWasRight]

@@01trsmar In Canada, median household income is only around CAD$70,000 and some change. In US dollars, that's only around $53,000. In the US, median household income is $61,372. That doesn't adjust for living cost, which is much higher in Canada. Canadians gets screwed all around. High prices + Less pay = Canadian living.

[@louie4316]

I understand that the automakers choose which truck to send you but that creates a dilemma. Your comparing apples to oranges. I think you should request a more level playing field from them. There's a Tundra with (amazing) off road fox shocks going up against a Ram on bags, a little diesel going up against a huge 6.2L.. just way to many variances...

[@louie4316]

Mike, that's the only thing the haters can bash on the Tundra. They can't both on it's solid build/reliability or it's fantastic resale value so they cry that its a gas hog...guess what? So is every other truck. We don't buy these for fuel economy.

[@bryantitus6634]

And that was with the TRD PRO, which undeniably gets the worst mileage out of the entire lineup of trims. This is my biggest complaint with TFL. They seem to exclusively test the TRD PRO Tundras and then knock the truck for being what it is designed for. Especially in an ON ROAD test of capabilities. The TRD SPORT is the truck they should have tested here. Or a platinum/1794. The biggest knock of the truck was it's off road tuned suspension in a hauling test.... Like ... Duh.

One time I got my old 2005 GMC half ton extended cab stuck about 4 miles up a snow covered dirt road in Montana, called a friend to come pull me out, he got stuck, so we both called a tow truck company which happened to be the same one, so the tow truck guy drives from an hour away and gets my friend out, and then got too scared to come further out to where I was so he left, and at this time it was about midnight or so. So I sleep in my truck and then in the morning I call again so they send out 2 guys from the same tow company and they bring up 2 snowmobiles and a tow truck, well they were too scared to bring the tow truck up to me so they come pick me and my dog up on the snowmobiles and by this time it's been 24 hours since I left home and had anything to eat or drink. So they get me on the snowmobiles and we leave my truck there and they drive me home. So then they drive an hour back home and the next day they bring a more capable 4x4 tow truck the next day and pull my truck out and then drop it off to me in town lol. So between 3 tow trucks and 3 different days I racked up a $1,600 (USD) tow bill, but I made my insurance cover it so that was cool. But yeah life lesson, don't go too crazy driving around in the snow, it gets expensive.

[@evanhasson6032]

It looks like 17 people agree with me and none with you. How can you tell me the Tundra isn't a truck lol. Its a dated interior with everything someone needs and a V8 that will make 650 horsepower supercharged. Even supercharged its still over 10,000 less than the competition @@jaredchampagne2752

[@jaredchampagne2752]

Evan Hasson your comment is 4 weeks old and is a main comment not a side comment of course it has a couple likes from fan boys. Most people that comment on stuff on KZbin just hate on stuff they can’t afford, but I’ve driven them all. Okay, so you agree it’s a dated interior, it’s a dated truck, it’s sluggish, the body panels make it look like a crossover SUV, the big 3 have all the basics AND more! Why wouldn’t you go with the big 3, they’re tried and true, you don’t see commercial companies using Toyota’s do you? No because they’re for yuppies that should be driving a car but want a truck to fit in. A tundra is what ford Chevy and dodge were 15 years ago. There’s a reason that ford and Chevy sell 100 pickups to 1 Toyota, they can’t hold up to the same abuse as American trucks, you want to claim power? If you’re going that route, Chevy LS motors can handle 1000hp stock with a few bolt ons and be daily driveable lol. Of course any v8 can be supercharged, itd be weird if it couldn’t. You get what you pay for, a Tundra is a car with a bed.

[@evanhasson6032]

Not sluggish actually, its faster than some of these trucks equipped with their respective diesels, tiny ass v6's and even V8's. You see the problem with "more" is that it opens the door for more reliability problems. There is a reason Toyota truck are so damn reliable and its because they don't have a bunch of extra nannies. It looks nothing like a crossover SUV and you couldn't even come up with an argument for that. You may want to get your eyes checked. Commercial companies don't use Toyota trucks because they want to support the American market. Also, the American truck brands have incentive deals for large fleets, something Toyota does not do. Ford, Dodge, and Chevy were nothing like the Tundra fifteen years ago because they broke down a lot. Also, the tacoma is the number 1 selling midsized pickup so I do not where you got that statistic. You are correct that a chevy could make that much power, its just that it is more expensive and less reliable power. Also, THE Ballistic BJ Baldwin drive a Tundra, as does Mark Owen from Seal Team Six and I'm sure you wouldn't tell it to either of their faces that they drive a car haha.

Nothing but Toyota truck for me. I am not rich like some guys are here. I buy stuff and keep it for long long time. I can't comment on any other vehicle coz I only have had toyota in my life. I had used celica in my college time but Once, I started working full time I bought me 2001 tacoma which I just traded in for 2019 tundra 2 months ago. I had 326k miles on tacoma with nothing changed except 1 o2 sensor and oil, tire. Same transmission fluid, never added. Same brake fluid, never topped it off. same power steering fluid, never topped it off. I have done nothing on truck except tire, oil and gas and 1 o2 sensor. 2001 Solara, I still have it, its my daily driver 260k miles. Same story, nothing done except tire, oil and gas and once in 5 years or so I add bottle of fuel cleaner. That's about it. Best part is, it still drives like just broken in. These 2 vehicle never gave me any problem. I was payment free for almost 14 years and only liability on vehicle, so my insurance was really low. I paid my house off with that saving. Also, I was able to buy tundra with trade in tacoma and Cash. No loan. And, I have always made less than 50k in my life. If I was rich, may be i'd go for some fancy stuff but Toyota keeps me debt free. ps, i forgot to mention brake pads and batteries changed here and there.

[@williamumbach592]

Randy Thompson Right now diesel is $0.87 more than gas per gallon. IF the diesel got 9mpg more than the gas (and it’ll only get around 4-6 more) it would be even in dollars per mile. So you are loosing money with the diesel (and power and torque) not including the cost of the def, or higher oil change cost, or higher cost to purchase the Diesel engine. The way I see it, the absolute ONLY advantage of the diesel right now is more range on a single tank of gas. And my bladder can’t outlast a 30gal tank of gas getting 20mpg.

And when he took it in there were other trucks there with the same problem as well. At least 2 of the times the entire system had to be replaced. Thankfully it was still under warranty. Note it was so bad the truck had to be towed 70 km to the dealership because the truck was undriveable.

I love these tests it really helps someone choose the very best truck and know all the options and all the information about him this video is very informative

[@s1vrbck_fitness]

This is a great test and video! Thank you!

[@allanclarke3483]

(11:08) why is the Chevrolet Silverado stiff and the (11:49) GMC sierra is the best riding one? Are they not the same truck with the same wheel base and the same engine?

[@patrickjones8255]

Even in the same model there can be differences. Maybe ones got the Bilstein and one's got the Gabriels. Gotta look underneath to know for sure.

[@modernmusclecar1904]

The Titan and Toyota have great off road capabilities...how did you think the ride would be compared to the Denali?

[@lawrencesanchez1750]

I think they should have had 1 more test...off road like they showed in the beginning of the video. Through mud holes lol...they definitely would have moved up the ranks.

[@tshearn624]

The manufacturers messed up sending off road packages for a test that included towing.

[@victorcreed8856]

Did you factor in price in your decision? The reason I ask is I can pick up a Titan Pro4x for $45-50k CAD, whereas a GMC Denali is $65+CAD (and not even a power passenger seat). When the Titan's capacities far exceed my needs, the extra $20Gs for a comparable GMC or Ram becomes a hard sell for me.

[@ITrustInDog]

Exactly. Especially when there is only a 7.5 point spread between the Titan and those top 2 contenders.

these are great, but i would still get the tundra for reliability, if you plan on keeping it for years when your lan is paid off it will be the truck that has broken down the less and still keep for more years to come

John S thats strange i myself have had 2 tacomas and both had no issues at all other then brakes and normal wear and i know two people with tundras a 2007 and a 2013 and both have had no issues. i guess things can happen but toyota is known for reliability, they do have their problems but toyota stands behind their products unlike some other brands.

The Toyota did better than expected...until you factor in the two GM trucks. 14% more torque and still 10% better gas mileage is pretty amazing. The 5.3 definetly gets better gas mileage than the 6.2 so I which they had one of those now just for comparison reasons.

[@Aaronrunco]

I love the video but I was trying to follow your math for the comparable mpg. How did you get those numbers. If I add of the other three numbers and then divide by 3. The math doesn’t work. Or am I missing something in how your averages are calculated.

Nice review Stephen!

[@brentrichburg4402]

As always, TFL Truck does a great job with their tests. I really enjoy the thoroughness of the evaluations and the fact that you do a good job of separating the objective from the subjective. I just wish GM would have supplied one of their two trucks with the more commonly purchased, 5.3 liter V-8s. Would also liked to have seen the MPG numbers for the 5.3. Although it seems like everything is pointing to the Ram being my next truck. Ram Limited and GMC Denali are about the same price but I think Ram did a much better job on their interior update IMHO.

[@rogernewcomb9014]

Just an observation... you said that the Toyota had better overall fuel numbers than the RAM, but the individual test points for each of them are danged near identical, with the empty and towing being better in the RAM. How is it the comparable average is worse for the RAM than the Toyota? Thanks for your response, -Roger

[@SelmerVidz1]

Hey Roger, Here is an explanation from the outfit responsible for the fuel economy chart: "The comparable average does not average the fuel consumption values for the three test trips but rather uses the sum of the fuel consumed divided by the sum of the trip distances for all three trips, multiplied by 100. Essentially, this ensures that all fuel consumed and distance driven is accounted for." Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@rogernewcomb9014]

@@SelmerVidz1 Hi Stephen, was there excess idling time for the Ram or something? It's strange that individual tests show better fuel economy, but lower overall. I know the EPA numbers are slightly better for the Ram than the Tundra (Tundra shows near the button on these metrics usually because it's still using a 6 speed automatic.) Just looking for clarity.

[@ninjamac3504]

Would like data on long term reliability and cost of ownership. Do these trucks stand up to our bad roads and harsh operating conditions?

Let me be the first to comment this. Who the hell buys a truck for luxury? I understand some perks and features like leather seats, or a smooth ride should be an addition, but I wouldn’t want a Denali simply because I don’t wanna scratch my 80,000 dollar truck. To me, trucks should be rugged with big tires and a lift with a powerful engine. Gotta say Denali, great engine but, really? 80K for a truck hell no

[@ricko6514]

Comparing a diesel's performance, capabilities, and efficiency in a group of gas guzzlers is like testing ballistic penetration of a 45ACP vs 300 blackout, 7.62x39 and 5.56. There is no fair chance for the Ford to compete. Couldn't they have just rented an actually gas f150 to test, and make it more of a fair challenge? Would have gotten my thumbs up for effort, that's for sure....

[@djayt1215]

Why should they compensate for Fords stupidity?

[@ricko6514]

You're assuming Ford knew what the truck was going to be used for. Man, wouldn't it just be nice to tell them, "hey, I'm testing this, and this, and this, vs all these other trucks. Can you give me one that will compete?...." If that were the case, I'm sure you would be seeing a raptor in the lineup instead of a diesel hahahaha. Anyway, wouldn't you agree for the sake of a more accurate comparison, that going the extra mile as automotive journalists to get a comparable vehicle go a long way, and make for better quality content, instead of settling with what you are given?

[@djayt1215]

@@ricko6514 no, Ford picked the vehicle they are trying to push. It was a marketing move, plain and simple. They didnt care if they won anything, they heard Canadian and TFL and figured they'd get in the free camera time. None of these trucks were good for all the tests. The pro4x and trdpro are going to suck ass at towing and MPG, and the others are going to suck ass off road

I really like what you guys are doing to get solid info about the different trucks out there to the population. However, I'm still a bit mind blown by the fact that none (that I know of) of multiples reviews about the Ram mention that this air suspension system is faulty in northern regions like Canada for instance. I mean, some of the TFL reviewers are from Ontario so they must of heard about all the troubles that comes with the air suspension on our cold winters. It was not meant to withstand our harsh winters!! It starts to feel like FCA told you guys to not talk about all the problems that people are experiencing with the Ram's air suspension. For those of you still wondering what issues I'm talking about, here are some (a quick google search will confirm all this): - empty suspension on cold mornings - system emptying itself while driving - compressor refuses to fill-up the balloons - frozen block-valve - frozen compressor - unable to use the different riding levels (stuck on a specific setting) - etc! So what gives ? I'd really love to hear you guys talk about it because as you are well aware, the problems are quite real.

I agree. I have a new 2018 Silverado Crew Cab 4x4 LT with the 5.3 and 6spd auto. I would've loved to have a 6.2 as im a performance buff and also own a Corvette. None of the dealers would deal on them though. I got a screaming deal on mine and the powertrain combo is tried and true and should provide years of service.
