Now in its 13th year without a full redesign, the #ToyotaTundra is one of the oldest new trucks you can buy in America and although the competition has moved on, Toyota is trying to keep the truck as fresh as possible. For 2020, the #TundraTRDPro gets a new Army Green exterior color and a new infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and finally Android Auto. It makes the interior a bit more modern, but the #Toyota #Tundra still gets the worse MPG in the entire segment. A new model is supposedly coming in the next year or two.

Sometimes luxury doesn’t have to be leather, technology, or turbo chargers. A logically laid out interior with buttons, naturally aspirated reliable engine, and great reliability are the biggest luxuries you can have nowadays.

You are somewhat right but for the price that interiors needs to not be so cheap.

A few years ago I had a roofing crew working at my house. One guy owned a Ram and another guy owned a Tundra of similar age and mileage. I asked both of them about the reliability and repair history over the life of the trucks. The answers went exactly according to the stereotypes. The Ram owner had spent a small fortune while the Tundra owner had only done routine maintenance and had his truck back to the dealer for a couple of free recalls. These guys actually needed big trucks and would have expected moderate mpg to be part of the reality of owning one. BTW I had steel shingles installed because I don't want to replace '30 Year' shingles every 10 years and I feel the same way about cars ;)

Sometimes people want "tried-and-true" instead of "this might not work in the future because of complexity". Good on Toyota for keeping some of the interiors on their trucks and SUVs traditional in some ways. Maybe modernize the infotainment system, modernize the safety tech, but keep the hard buttons, physical dials, minimize the amount of touch controlled clutter in the interior.

[@mbraun1]

Just came from Speed Academy with a long term review (140,000 miles) and update of the previous model. Changing oil, brakes and some basics no problem has mentioned. So there is the point for getting the Tundra. Besides if the interior feels little bit old but it functions on long term and does not do " overcompute" that is a good deal.

I am sorry but no diflocks means its it's not a competitor for a Ford raptor. Just because you put off road shocks on the truck dose not make it any more off road capable. If you want a truck that is off road capable then you need a rear locking diff. I love the army green.

Joshua Thomas a diff lock satisfies the .01% of Raptor owners that take their 75k truck off road. By off-road I mean off-road...not just down some muddy forrest road. It’s a gimmick more than anything for the type of consumer that the Raptor is marketed to.

In which case then you will want the locking differential. Also the beefed up axeles and tires of military trucks come in handy.

The Tundra is better than the Raptor. Especially since it’s $25,000 cheaper. Has a V8 and a company that gives a fu** about their customers. There are many many reviews about the raptor that cover all of the owners problems within the first few years....for 75k you shouldn’t have to deal with ANY issues. Engine leaks and electrical problems mainly. Ford eco boost engines are leak machines. Also have lots of stupid plastic parts like a plastic oil pan. Not worth it at all.

[@actionguy87]

Actually if Toyota cared about their customers, they would provide annual updates to the Tundra platform in order to give more value to the customer and stay competitive within the segment - but they don't. And if Raptors have more problems, it's because they house more innovative tech which is always more prone to faults. But that's the price of raising the bar, something Toyota would know nothing about. The Raptor is the superior vehicle in the majority of ways. Toyota may often win in the reliability department, buts that's only one of many boxes that needs to be checked.

It’s going to become brittle and crack over time and then your engines going to overheat when it has no oil. A part that they could have spent a few more dollars on could prevent catastrophic engine failure. Ford engineers are morons.

I recently traded my 2019 Raptor in on a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro double cab. Not as many creature features but a very solid truck for sure and it has a sweet sounding V8. I'm hoping I don't have to use my warranty like I did on my Raptor.

[@AdriannTRPY]

Jeez, this bloke wont be too stoked with a '70 series Landcruiser if he thinks a Tundra is a bit outdated.

[@tomcook5813]

I like the gauges, but I’m 50 years old . I xpecially like the engine.

[@SaSpursFan]

I see a lot of reviews who are numbed by constantly seeing the newest vehicles complaining about Toyota models not being cutting edge....but they are missing the point, that is what is MO of Toyota. They go with simplicity and tried and true options in favor of longevity/reliability/cost because they know their target audience is owners and not leasers. If you were leasing a vehicle you want the most cutting edge tech because it is disposable and you don't care about reliability. Toyota owners usually like to purchase to own for the life of the vehicle.

[@LVang152]

It’s a beautiful color but I rather go with platinum trim.

[@terrytekify]

you totally forgot about the truck's party trick that no other truck in the segment can do: the entire rear window rolls down for an open air experience

[@2W3X4YZ5]

I always thought the exhaust note of the iForce engines sounded like the Porsche 928S4, minus the flatter plane crank. Maybe it’s just me. Cool review.

[@vansang1146]

Even if it’s old , this truck is still competing with every trucks in its class and overall still better than all .

[@imxploring]

Great review!!! Nice to have a non Toyota fan boy give a comprehensive review of a great truck... yes old school... but it's tried and true! Thank you!

[@sonar0085]

It’s the bomb I love the classic look.

[@wabio]

I'll take reliability and resale value over leather seats and a fancy info-tainment system 8 days a week.

[@dlg5485]

Thank you for mentioning that truck buyers do care about fuel economy. I'm tired of people who assume they don't.

I just bought the 2021 SR5 with the TE Off-road package and convenience package. I LOVE THIS THING! I’m feeling it at the pump but I rather pay more at the pump than at the mechanic to fix a twin turbo.

[@nicholaspetre1]

Totally agree with. I bought my Tundra with the same thinking. Better to pay a bit more at the pump than spending my time and money at the repair shop

[@EngineAdventures]

Great review! We really enjoyed taking the 2020 Tundra TRD Pro to the dunes, but it's definitely no where near a Raptor!

[@florianackermann3386]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. You won’t get another truck that matches this reliability! I have the same power train on my ‘12 with 150k and have not changed any components. This truck also can handle more than what it is rated for payload 😉. I prefer more simple trucks. Too many electronic gadgets give more failure points. Fantastic truck!

[@Doogerauoy]

Only things I would change are all LED upgrade, front camera and more technology interior. Emphasis on LED. Not only for looks but for more safety.

[@masta839]

I’d rather drive not redesigned but reliable Tundra, than frequently redesigned GM or RAM trucks that are cheap looking and far behind in reliability. Truck is for work and not for modern looks and latest tech.

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

And what percentage of truck owners actually use it for work? Probably only a quarter or less.

[@samlung2724]

Thats what base model trucks are for.

[@thakiddmistic7610]

Reliable but outdated as well. Cars are more reliable than ever before. Toyota isn't the only company that makes things reliable.

This model is never gonna get old, as years past its still gonna look up to date.

[@andybub45]

Id take this over the Ram 1500 and the Ford F150, no question about it. But, I have a strong love towards Chevy because of my Tahoe, so its a hard choice. The Silverado and the Tundra are the only two trucks id ever consider buying!

I want to bite and get a tundra but It would be my luck that the following year or 2 they’ll do a complete redesign just like it happened when I got my Silverado

[@Blaquegold]

I would love to get one hopefully one day. Put an 8 to 10 speed transmission and they will be set. Less tech is less problems.

Competition blows this economy away!

[@boss123400]

Norm T The competition will make up the extra cost in gas in repairs costs...plus down time.

[@JeremyGSU2011]

Norm T on paper maybe. Reality is most of the competition averages about 16mpg versus Tundra’s 14. Not as big a difference as the completion would leave you to believe. Check out Fuelly.com and browse for yourself. Most are getting no where near the manufactures claims on Rams, F150’s, or Chevy’s.

[@phillip4692]

Tbh it looks really good, best looking truck to be honest compared to a Chevy with all it’s weird designs

Amazing truck.. I compared the 1794 against the competition and found for the price of the 1794 you wouldn't get much from other trucks at that price point...it is a far greater value..it gives so much for less plus it's a solid built vehicle

[@naveenkrishnamurthy7576]

Toyota reliability alone makes it worth buying. Sure gas mileage sucks but people who buy this won’t even have to spend time researching Toyota trucks. They can buy it without worrying long term

[@silverfox1234]

When it's dark and raining those small turn signals are difficult to see when facing the headlights head-on.

[@SouthsideKidd550]

Toyota's version of innovation: If it aint broke, dont fix it... The Tundra is known to be a real truck based off the old saying, "It aint a TRUCK unless it has a dent in it." I say that because every Tundra I see is beat up but still running good...

[@toyotabrony]

Toyota Tundra maybe outdated like the 4Runner, but there both are still best sellin old skool truck. And no need fancy smanchy electronic and it’s perfect for that. Very solid vehicles and I love it

I really wish they would keep the 2019 to 2021 model coming for years to come. I know for a fact they would still sell because of their reputation. They “fixed “ something that wasn’t broken. Don’t even get me started on the iv6 twin turbo engine on the new Gen. Oh well I got lucky to pick up the tundra V8 while it’s still here (; love it all blacked out
