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.

Toyota Tundra’s will always hold a special place in my heart and will always be one of if not my favorite trucks. It was the first truck I ever drove and is currently what I am driving right now. I get about 400 miles out of each tank and the truck has not a single time ever had any problems and its currently over 70000 miles (not that impressive of a number at all in comparison to the million miles two tundras have hit). its big, its loud, and its just an awesome truck. never fails to bring a smile to my face when I drive it.

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.

Also the 2018 5.0 and up have some major issues with oil and coolant disappearing and the big three our so competitive that there trying new things all the time that aren’t necessarily proven where Toyota just finds something that works and leaves it alone until the technology of today is proven 5-10 years down the road and they use it.

I put in lower ball joints, outer tie rods, end links, sway bar, sway bar bushings, rack and pinion bushings, front shocks and springs, new muffler. $500 for parts, I did all the work as the first generation tundra was easy to work on. I saved $50,000 and have a good work truck that takes care of all my needs for the home and work.

When I added ARB lockers: I used the most reputable place I could find on the east coast and that was East Coast Gear Supply in NC. I also opted for the best ARB air compressor and hook ups for an air hose. I use that a lot to air up tires quickly. 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!

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. Always enjoy the new videos. One of the best channels on KZbin.

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.

Toyota is going to change things that are great, just on their own timetable. It does keep their vehicles more reliable rather than trying to match the competition for business- and competition-sake. Sort of the "slow and steady wins the race." We see Nissan employing the same thing in the truck market.

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.

it has poor crash ratings because the platform is really old, no matter how you refresh it. It is built with 2007 safety ratings in mind, and as the safety rating difficulty and fields increases, it scores poorer and poorer. Just look at dodge grand caravan for example. This is one way the NHTSA pushes the automakers to make newer and better vehicles, by using this negative reinforcement method.

Just look up the first gen tundra vs the f150 of that same year, or any of the other big3 for that matter. The tundra was the only truck that the structure didnt fail. 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 a cycle, and right now the tundra is the oldest but still surprisingly competitive. Some of its standard safety features aren't even available on other trucks.

Some folks buy aftermarket storage for back there that have you cut a big portion of the foam out before putting it in. The only real noticeable difference between the 26 gal and 38 gal tanks is the gap from the front of the tank to the midpipe. With the 26 gal tank it has near 2 feet of void between the two.

Fun review! I just got a new '19 1794. Loaded (obviously, it's a 1794) + spray-in bedliner w/ that mat on top + TRD Pro exhaust + 2 years of free maintenance - all for $49k OUT THE DOOR! 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. I'm still at least $15k less than a comparable Ford, Chevy, or RAM. My buddy just paid $71k (he got them down from $74k) for a new RAM. 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. I mainly wanted a truck for things like, tossing our bikes in the back, getting lumber, messy things like our boat cover, grill, you get the drill. 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. I'll be driving my 'old' 2019 with its rumbling, reliable V8 for many years.

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.

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.

I love the Tundra Powertrain. However, it is let down by an outdated platform and a frame that isn’t fully boxed - the frame flex is disconcerting.

The frame flex is what improves the ride quality. If it was a fully boxed frame it would ride like an F-150.

Had a Camry with over 300,000 miles that was a champ. A Tacoma that was bullet proof and at 70,000 miles toyota purchased back over what I wanted for it to help me get a new tundra. 2014 Tundra lifted on 35's. Never had to see the shop once so far. As for maintenance costs just oil changes and this winter changed original battery for new one. Love my toyota tundra.

I have a 2006 Toy Tundra...........best truck I have ever owned. Last one was a T-100 6 cyl 4wd. Sold it at 265,000 miles for $1,000 more than I paid for it 5 years earlier. It got 20MPH, didn't burn any oil. My current 2006 looks like the day it came of the showroom. 4wd gets 20mph on the hwy. I have people come to my door trying to buy it.........two in the last monthe, before that a Ford Dealer salesman tried to buy it while I was at the gas station............he knows a good truck. Fourteen years old, looks and drives like new........how many 2006 Ford, Chevy, Dodge trucks are on the road? If they are............they're leaving a rust trail going down the street. Sure, old design but why change what works?

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.

@@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.

I feel that a lack of all the “new” features and electrical components are part of the reason why it lasts so long. On top of the fact they keep improving on the same platform. When you completely redesign every 3-4 years you get a lot of problems. Ford, GM, and Ram cannot sit at the same table as this truck when it comes to reliability. Not to mention when you drive them the tundra for sure feels the sturdiest and beefiest
