The 2021 Toyota Tundra 1794 is a Solidly Built Truck Due for a Complete Redesign

[@DebianDog]

I bought this truck the year it came out. It still runs exactly the same. Over 100,000 miles. I have hauled, towed, and use it like a truck should be used. I've done nothing but gas, tires, brakes, and oil. I thought about buying a new one. But when I really thought it over, I just decided to splurge on a new stereo system and custom speakers. She's got another 14 years in her... easy

[@792bnz]

Dude keep the truck. The extra gas being used is probably lubricating the valves, unlike most newer car that do direct injection. Nothing wrong with SOME thirsty cars as the gas can help lubricate the top end internals that the oil can't always reach

[@DebianDog]

@@792bnz well the other great part is that truck has been paid for a long time so anything it needs it will get. That's one thing I do like about my Lexus RCF it is both port and fuel injected.

@@DebianDog I owned a 2017 5.7 Crewmax 4x4 brand new. A V8 Titan scrapped my truck in a hit and run. I tried catching up to get the license plate and my Tundra was too slow. That's on top on considering it is the highest gas guzzler in it's class.

[@sevnlight6313]

@@DebianDog I paid around 48k if I remember correctly for my 2017 Tundra. I sold it to a Honda dealership for $35,000 Check in early 2019. Surprisingly they didn't do a walk around. They didn't see the damage until after I had the check. It wasn't big damage but a single noticeable deep scrape on the passenger side quarter bedside panel.

No shifter that folds, no full digital dashboard, no gigantic touchscreen. No gimmicks that can break. Just a solid truck with time-proven components. I traded a 2017 F-150 for a 2020 Tundra Limited. It has all the tech I need and I know I won’t get recall notices every other month for stupid stuff.

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

I've had 2 Ford F150's the 3.5 eco boost and the 5.4 V8 and a Ram 1500 with the Hemi. Since i've driven each of these three trucks for well over 400,000 miles I would take the Toyota or Nissan everytime. Both Ford and Ram had mechanical issues at 120,000 miles and significant amount of money at the dealers to get fixed. I've seen these Tundra's with 400-500 thousand kilometers at the dealerships. The gas mileage is the same on ALL of them, i've never got better than 15-17 MPG in any of them.

[@w.a.l5202]

Interesting to hear your experiences with the EcoBoost. I was wondering how they would hold up after some serious mileage and you concerned my suspicions. The Nissan and Toyota might be ancient now but I think in terms of reliability the naturally aspirated old tech holds up better under hard use. Have a good day and thanks for sharing.

[@nate9553]

Everyone’s experience is different since no two vehicles ever seem to be the same, even if they rolled off the assembly line right after each other. My 2008 Tundra 5.7L that I bought new got 13 city and 13 highway. My 2019 Ford 3.5 eco, also new, gets 16 city and 20 highway. The Tundra was a money pit, some covered under warranty but a lot of repairs not. Water pumps should last longer than 40000 miles. Defective design or manufacture rear wheel bearings should last longer than 50000 miles and be covered under warranty, they were $1200. Defective catalytic converters and starter, yep also before 100000 miles. I spent thousands getting that Toyota to 106000 miles before getting rid of it. Like I said everyone’s experience is different. I will be totally honest too and say I purchased one hell of a bumper to bumper warranty on the F150, it has three times the technology to break over the Toyota. I think 10 years out of any vehicle is pushing it these days with all the cost cutting by manufacturers. Well that’s my two cents, I know you didn’t ask for it, lol.

[@willthorson4543]

So magically you've driven all of them 400,000 miles each...but you'll stick to Nissan(has al kind if reliability issues) and Toyota that's just old. Putting 1.2 million miles on trucks and then not only pick 2 trucks that are uncomfortable, but one is unreliable. Lol .

A vast improvement over my 2017 Ram 1500 that I traded for it. I will be driving this truck long after the competitors trucks are worn out with those ridiculously complex V6 turbo motors that while powerful, have to work a lot harder to accomplish the task. As for all the tech, that's just more stuff that can break... and cost a fortune to repair. Sometimes simpler is better and I have had nothing but admiring compliments from people who have seen it so far. I think Toyota has made a mistake going to the twin turbo V6 as well.

TRD Pro Bits: The upgraded grille, the cat-back exhaust, and the riveted flares all pop 5. Prices: The most expensive Tundra sells for under $50k, after negotiation/discount

[@hellkitty1014]

I'm convinced Toyota really doesn't care much about their NA truck market. The Tundra, 4Runner, GX470, Land Cruiser/LX570, and even Tacomas are literally selling on tradition, reliability, and Toyota loyalty. And there is nothing wrong with that. But it has to be frustrating to know they could easily sell at least double their current units with serious updating. Toyota got really close in 2007 with the Tundra(w/o a doubt the best truck for a few years in that era). But the domestics understand that trucks is where their bread is buttered. I will say these things still have insane resale values, so that definitely helps if you must absolutely have one.

[@jongock5109]

As a General Contractor for 27 years, I think I have spent the majority of my life in a pickup truck. I consider myself an authority on every aspect of using trucks. Let's be brutally honest, the majority of truck owners are contractors who use their truck as a means of making getting to and from the job, not going to Costco on the weekends to pick up a new case of toilet paper (Covid joke). They go to Home Depot, lumber yards, hauling dirt, going to the dump. Even the insides of their trucks although may look clean, they have a layer of dust and dirt. Power tools, left over lunches, construction debris are all over. Rear shells with lumber racks are common place. There isn't something on the truck that hasn't been broken by a 2x4 thrown into it. Its a mode of transportation and a means of making money. Whenever I watch a review of trucks, such as Redline Reviews, you test the highest trim level. That's wonderful, however, the majority of truck owners will buy the cheapest and/or mid-grade level as a means of maximizing profit for their JOB. We don't have the LUXURY (let alone the financial "means") of buying a maxed out "pretty" truck. I am always disappointed to hear a review saying that you should get this level of trim, because its the most comfortable and "technologically" best buy. NO it isn't. Contractors have a hard and demanding job and really want something reliable and will hold up from all the abuse we put it through. At the end of the day, while its nice to have the latest and best toys in your vehicle, its just a mode of transportation that gets you to and from work. We use trucks like our hammer. It doesn't necessarily have to be the highest trim level, just as long as it works every time you need it. Just something "good enough", and I don't have to work for my truck. My truck should work for ME to make a living.

Why change something that isn't broken?! Yes it's old but it will last a lifetime.

[@mustasheolll2020]

@Anna Carson It looks and feels wayy older than 2021, that’s the problem.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

I understand the "if it isn't broken don't fix it" philosophy, but that philosophy only applies in the world of cars if the vehicle is competitive. That 5.7l V8 and 6AT was impressive in 2007, but it's been lagging behind since around 2011-2012 and it's been due for an update for a VERY VERY long time. Same with Nissan and that 7AT, it's time to let that transmission go and replace it with something better.

[@windanthonystream]

Nissan changed to a 9 speed transmission in the Titan which is a good tranny. However the Armada still uses the 7 speed.

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

If Toyota give focus on trucks like they did with SUV’s. The market share of the domestic will surely drop - trucks is the only segment that domestic automakers are leading.

For all intents and purposes, these vehicles are not meant for daily driving - unless you like burning cash. I’m fine the fuel economy is poor, at least it’s a reliable truck.

Buy a F150 for tech, Trail Boss Silverado for off road, Ram 1500 for interior and a Tundra for a reliable truck that just works.

[@omarbryant7930]

100000% accurate

[@dozer012]

I own a 2018 Tundra Platinum. The 2020/2021 design looks the same with exception to the smart key and apply CarPlay etc. but in the end, Tundras will last longer than a F-150 or Ram. I can’t wait until Toyota unveils a new design for the Toyota Tundra.

[@Qonda0T]

If you're buying a truck I guess it's because you work hard, so you need a truck that'll work even harder for you and never let you down. Well this is that truck, it will last half of your working lifetime and keep going but if you want all the fancy tech then get any other as you'll look real good for a couple of years that is.

[@michaellafrance6454]

They don't sell as much because they last forever. That's why real ones love them, like to keep vehicles 10 years plus. Some people don't care about new tech with all the bells and whistles.

[@keithginyard7696]

Good! No direct injection. For all the proposed fuel savings it's not worth it. Just port injection, no wonder the Tundra engine lasts forever, clean valves, no carbon buildup, less problematic.

[@fennway34]

I personally think it looks way different than the 10 years ago. I just bought a 21 tundra crewmax and I came from 3 chevys. I hated how the body style change so much and so quickly. If you bought a new Chevy in 5 years it's a old look. The main thing I would change is the chrome on the truck. Chrome is for my grandfather's generation. It's the best truck I ever owned. Three (3) things they should do. 1. Make a dually/ diesel version. 2. Come with 2" to 4" lift. 3. Front wheel wells able to clear 35" tires

[@fennway34]

Also..... chevy fuel economy: They lie..... I was only getting 11mpg so don't believe the hype.

[@gregorylau5098]

I Agree with the concern about fuel economy. I like the V8. I think it is fine. I disagree with the comment about the vibration in the pedals and the steering wheel. I agree that the interior is old but I like that it is simpler to look at and simpler to use. The MMI is slow at times to load. As for the driving dynamics, I do agree that it feels heavy. The acceleration is decent. It doesn’t have the low end punch of the Ecoboost engines but the 0-60 times are decent . Many of the figures published are in the mid 6 second range.

[@drivedb7]

@coffeeinthemorning 300K miles without a problem in power train, versus a big screen, give a break, who wants that?

[@jessethompson9087]

This is a real man's truck. Sorry it doesn't have any of the fancy tech that all the new offerings have, but all that is just more expensive stuff that can tear up and will eventually need replacement. I think you were unnecessarily judgemental on this truck. No true truck person drives a $70k+ truck. This is a timeless truck with proven reliability, great base engine power, and excellent functionality. Stop judging this truck for being too old. Of course its old, but not everyone wants the tech of a Tesla in their truck.

[@ksorsomeplace]

The 4:30 rear differential gears are what contribute greatly to the lower fuel economy.

[@Wayne_de]

That is the same key fob from my wife's 2014 RAV4!

Nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. It works and since it's push button start anyways the key fob will barely get used.

[@RobbieHerrera]

The Tundra and Sequoia though their competitors are flashier and have more features, I'd still be more comfortable putting my money on the Toyotas because I know they'll last way past my last payment. The cosmetic updates are just right and the Nightshade option is really cool. Love the normally aspirated V8, coming from a Ford Excursion V10, 13-17mpg is great gas mileage LOL!

[@markgibson7447]

So I own a 2018 Tundra Crew MAX Limited 4x2. Just turned 40k miles it is the same exterior color as your video version but grey leather. Doors and accents are grey/black. Clean looking. Cons: 1- yes fuel economy is horrible but I did not buy it for fuel economy. I bought it for reliability. If you really maintain this truck it will last 20 years+. 2-JBL sound system I will have to admit is absolutely embarrassingly horribly BAD....I could go on and on about how Toyota/JBL jacked this up. My expedition XL will blow this away any day. My plan is just to have a aftermarket system installed. Did I mention how bad Toyota and JBL screwed this up 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️. 3-Factory tires. Just horrible. I just changed to Michelin. It drives like a totally different truck. Totally different. If you buy a new Tundra immediately change to the Michelin brand of tire. Now I use mine as a on road highway truck not a 4x4. My Michelin tires are the 275/55/20 Defender LTX M/S. This is in my opinion the best riding tire in the market 💪💪. I have this also on my personal Expedition XL, my company Fleet of Suburbans and F150’s. They give each of them a exceptional ride quality and they last in excess of 60-70k miles if you treat them properly. So a great value for the cost. 4-collision system has been replaced 3x but it works properly now. I think I got one of the first systems in the first trucks put out. Toyota fixed it eventually. Purchased my 2018 model in November 2017. 5-navigation- OUTDATED to say the least for this price point truck. Pros 1-it holds it value better than Ford, Chevy,dodge. Reliability is 100%. 2-Interior space is HUGE. 3-I still get people telling me how beautiful it is. I don’t think it’s outdated. The Porsche 911 has had the same basic design since the beginning. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. Small changes over a long period. I own a automation company in the automotive industry and we work in most of the major automotive companies. We see the changes and what they cost. We are spoiled as customers to have to have so much change so often. It does not make sense. This is the reason why automobiles have become so expensive but it’s just not needed. This truck looks good, rides good with the proper tires. Fix a few things I mentioned above and you have a even better truck. Spend a few $ and make it your own and keep it up and drive it 500k. If you really “OCD” maintain it like I do you can get 1m miles out of it if you want. Take care of it. Don’t just waste money and keep buying new to keep up with everyone else. 4-adding some sort of hybrid system will help in fuel mileage. Maybe look at gearing and a 8 speed transmission. 5-The engine is perfect. Who cares about 0-60 it’s not a race car 🤣🙈. It’s a daily driver truck for Gods sake. It does what it was designed to do and does it very well. It was not designed to go to the track or race the guy in the Ford Raptor beside him at the stop light. 😂🤦🏼‍♂️ 6-Suspension. I will say that with the factory tires the suspension has a very firm feeling but change the tires to the ones above and it totally changes the ride of this truck drastically. The tires make the difference. 7-headlights/fog lights are great. 8-Interior to me is perfectly fine and is very comfortable. It simply works. I am not buying a Bentley. Note: if you’re worried about putting gas in this truck DO NOT buy it. You can’t afford it. You know what your buying. We also don’t care about heated steering wheels. We don’t care about the larger display. It’s fine. Top down display is not necessary. Just learn how to drive. What a concept. Again keep it simple. Don’t make them turn this into a $70-80k truck. Mine with the sunroof and 100k full warranty was $56k. That is still high but much less than the competitors. Overall I would buy this truck again. The value “for it” is greater than the cons. Remember your also buying reliability. The more crap it has.... the more that will break. Eventually. KISS = keep it simple stupid.

You shouldn’t buy a car or truck based on resale value. Buy the vehicle that fits what you need. If you buy a vehicle that fits your lifestyle, then you’ll keep it long enough that resale value doesn’t matter. Why buy this truck that’s objectively worse than anything in its class, just because it’ll hold its value? The value of a vehicle is what you make of it and the utility it gives you.
