I'm soo glad to see Toyota going back to a fully boxed frame . I've a had a few Toyotas from a 1989 to a 93 pickup, then a 2000 and 2006 Taco. The 2006 was totaled cause of a minor rear end collision, cause of the lack of a good frame . The same goes for my 2018 Tundra with that hip shake, The older trucks held up to all kinds of abuse ... just saying

[@codythomas4794]

Yup the frame flex in the 2nd gen tundras was so bad… and all because they didn’t want to spend more money on rust prevention

[@stevenewsam1993]

Hey Toyota, here’s some market research. Many 1/2 ton truck owners and most business owners who are loyal to Tundra would prefer the tried and true 5.7 with the new 10 speed transmission and somewhat smaller rear axle ratio. Why not keep as a option? Best of both worlds, better mpg, and simple, long term reliable and easy to maintain…

[@XplusX12345678]

I worked at a Toyota garage when the recalls were happening. It was a NIGHTMARE. Hundreds of new frames coming 10-15 in on trailers at a time

[@miices]

Any dis-similar material that is bonded (such as welding) is going to cause stress fractures in the lower flexibility material. So the high strength steel in this frame is going to see a massively reduced cycle life because they welded it to the more flexible low carbon steel. This frame is going to be a huge cost from recalls in the future.

[@macbookpro57]

Very interesting! Love hearing and seeing the new features exposed (didn’t know about the hydro mounts). Seemed like the Toyota rep tried to avoid answering the question of “why no 4wd auto” though; didn’t give a reason why they don’t offer that.

[@ivanalandzak2521]

That he did. Started to and then moved on

[@r0ldi187]

4wd auto is a must have, especially when leaving in area that gets snow. I don't know why they wouldn't add that feature. Also noticed there is no ice/snow drive mode in the new tundra.

@Jack K E/v typically is far more reliable than ICE based on how few moving parts it has. Im just confused at how crappy the mpg is.

[@r0ldi187]

Love the new tundra, but what's up with them contradicting themselves? They said their customers wanted more storage so they added more storage under the rear seats but then take it away by having the hybrid battery use up all the storage space. Then on the topic of auto 4wd, they say that their customers mostly use 4-hi and 4-lo...well that's because the tundra only offers 4-hi and 4-lo, if given the choice I am sure they would use 4 auto 🤦. Those are just my gripes but other than that, this truck looks like to be a home run for many truck drivers.

[@braaaaaaaaaaap]

Agreed. No under-seat storage in the hybrid and no 4A is a no-go. Both are available in the new F-150. Tundra looks silly too. F-150 looks classy still.

[@OhPhuckYou]

I wander why domestic trucks went to a fully boxed frame when Toyota touted their "triple tech frame" as some revolutionary concept. Not sure how since 10th gen F-150s had a fully boxed frame up front and C channel out back. They moved away from that in 04 like every single other truck on the market. "The frame flexes for off-road articulation". Bullshit, Toyota couldn't make a boxed frame that wouldn't rust so they used old tech rebranded as a new concept. Have your bed maxed out with payload and see how well that works out while going through a angled incline, sure. The frame twists unintentionally and buckles the tailgate on a C channel frame. I'm glad Toyota finally decided to take another shot at a boxed frame, I just wish they didn't try to save face with their older "Triple tech" frame that they caught endless flack for.

Eliminating weight (and material) by going to air suspension, no more coils or leaf springs in the back. Also the hybrid drive was designed by Ford/GM. The modern body mounts can be silicone gel fluid,(expensive) works well for isolation.

[@ManWhoLostTooth]

Toyota was the first company to make a modern hybrid power-train I don't think they need help from GM who would be dead in the water without a multi-billion dollar bailout.

Tundra week has been 🔥and no I don’t have a tundra lol

[@TFLtruck]

Thank you. We have one more - a 0-60 mph and road trip mpg tomorrow.

[@watchmanexpert]

What happen if the turbo got damage? How to access? Looks difficult

[@nicholasraub3606]

Damn that bed flex when he put his hand down lmao 🤣

[@frankkirkland4429]

Those turbos look like a pain to service when they break/fail.

[@watchmanexpert]

I was thinking the same

[@luxembourgtbonbon7190]

Good job!.Well done!. Congrats guys!..

[@francisgallozzi2595]

This is the only channel that mentioned the vortex generators on the upcoming Tundra.

[@hardmtnbiker]

I’ve been patiently waiting for the hybrid models to be released but it’s tempting just to go ahead and get the non-hybrid model.

[@popeyesailor8744]

Yay! Toyota brought back the mechanical fan.

[@mikebmg6262]

I Think the camera man had too many red bulls that morning. The camera was moving sooo fast had to keep stopping the video to see the components.

[@paulamaral8029]

I’m be waiting for the hybrid version in March …with red interior or maybe brown like the 1794 edition and I hope they have better side steps options then these shown 👎 I don’t like this style at all

[@jamesg6071]

For the composite bed will gasoline/diesel/ether eat the composite material up?

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

No I have spilled gasoline on a composite Tacoma bed nothing hurts it

[@davidcox2197]

@@bigfootandbananaman4746 The composite bed on my Tacoma has held up well I am nearing 200,000 miles, with heavy useage of the bed in business, its held up fine.

[@gwot]

probably with the same material properties as a plastic gas can.

[@jpcheco]

What about increasing the font size on the dashboard displays? That could be done with a software upgrade…

[@joserobinson8419]

Timing chain or timing belt? v6 or v8 options would have been good

[@nateyoung6331]

From what I could tell that's a nice exhaust.

[@Yohannesb9]

Good Job TFL really insightful. Can the engineer elaborate benefits of a hybrid, turbo v6. V8s get worse gas milage because they have few gears put more gears in but keep and refine the V8 too

[@rpm2wg]

Interesting, a stripped down look at a new vehicle usually encourages me to want it. This one and its incredibly complicated systems do the opposite this time. This is impossible or extremely expensive to work on and replace parts. Even maintainable wear items look difficult to replace and I work on vehicles all the time. Yikes

[@athanschannel2995]

When can you take this up the Ike? Can’t wait to see you guys do that!

[@tipyyota7872]

The guy completely ducked the 4auto question lol

[@davidcox2197]

4 auto decreases the longevitiy of the system. Ask any Jeep owner, who has 100K or more on his Jeep.

[@GM-sk2wk]

Those hydro body mounts will improve ride, but they are known to fail and leak. Another potential failure point which doesn’t seem completely justified.

[@firstlast---]

Exactly my thoughts. Not so sure why Toyota is obsessed with trying to get Lexus ride quality out of a truck. No matter what you do it's still going to ride like a truck, why not have regular body mounts that will last way longer than a hydraulic one

[@LuisDiaz-oe2lj]

This composite bed looks like it has some texture to it unlike other beds I've seen on recent videos 🤔

[@fredmoss4540]

The composite bed has a spray in coating it's add-on option if customers want. Makes for less Slippery surface or you could also add Bed Mat. In one of the videos with Andre and Chief Toyota Engineer Mike Sweers they go around to different Tundra Trucks inside he mentions this. Saying some customers may want the Bed to be Slippery for ease of sliding stuff. Others don't want Bed Slippery if like you standing in walking and it's wet Slippery to fall. More adhesive coating.

[@LuisDiaz-oe2lj]

@@fredmoss4540 yeah there you go i knew there was something different going on there

[@spinnetti]

I know this stuff better than they do. Wish they had an engineer give the highlights. Looks like they added some offset crash impact horns to improve crash performance (the white things in front of the cab mounts). Can't see clearly.. is this only 3 link rear end or 5? Replaced leaf rear or has it been coils a while?

[@theroadbackhome4935]

GM auto 4wd and G80 are awesome in ice/snow and heavy rain.

[@Transfer998x]

Any word on when you can activate the rear locker? I know on the taco it's only in 4-Lo, however Ford (at least on the SD) it can be activated anytime below 20mph.

[@swoopjunky]

I can’t wait, I’m 3rd on the list for my TRD PRO. Deposit paid

[@Vox-Populi]

Pretty cool engineering reality, but...I'll keep my V8.

[@smittysmitty481]

Great video Andre! Very informative

[@Zack-ng2lf]

At what RPM does peak torque come in on the regular engine option without hybrid? I know they said 2400 for hybrid.

[@MSRWorkshop]

So my question is, is a hybrid engine tune-able? So can you tune the turbos and boost when coupled with the electric system or will it mess it all up since the two systems are working together?
