[@Jay-me7gw]

The 4.30 axle ratio is just to make up for the ridiculously tall gear ratios in the Tundra transmission. The first gear was 3.333:1 Ford and GM 6 speeds were >4.0:1 first gear. The ford was 4.17:1. Literally the 4.30’s in the tundra are equivalent to 3.43:1 axles in an F150. I specifically did not buy a 2007-2015 Toyota Land Cruiser with the same 6 speed because of how bad the transmission ratios are.

Andre you gotta do one of two things for your truck. while hitched to your boat move the boat back on your trailer so you have less tongue weight or move your axles back a bit, just like moving a 5th wheel on a truck back or forth,, even big truck trailers have adjustable mounts. Moving the boat back is probably easiest , once the hitch weight/balance is corrected, the boat winch/rest post is moved to the boat. Most people don,t know to adjust the hitch weight is simple and used to be done. When you load your boat the balance is effected, fuel ect, i think boat trailers are the only trailers people just accept with out thinking about addressing load and hitch weight. ps love yer new truck

Great pick! I traded my 2023 Tundra that was a turd (check engines, loose weatherstripping/wind noise)). Cracking seat, squeaking plastics. back to a 21 TRD PRO Tundra that I will keep for years. Also 295/70/18 fit with no lift on the TRD PROs. So like a 34" tire.

[@TimRHillard]

You bought a submarine? Okay, cool.

[@ariesgum]

I traded in my gen 2 Ford Raptor for a V8 TRD Pro Tundra with a factory installed TRD supercharger. Haven’t looked back since. I definitely don’t miss the many trips to the shop! Congrats! You chose well!

That car was in Florida with saltwater flooding. That's not Michigan winter salt. We have Ohio salt and NO 2021 is gonna look like that unless it was soaking in saltwater.

[@pathunter7003]

That’s just what I thought also, that is a heavy scaling rust on the hitch. It would take a decade of road salt usage in ohio to get like that

[@Argedis]

maybe it was taken to a lot of saltwater boat ramps

[@HDHQDIRECT]

@@Argedis It's obvious it was submerged in salt. The rust underneath is perfectly encompassing the entire structure. Even way up into the spare tire where you shouldn't even get road salt. It's way too uniform, like it had been submerged.

Good choice on that TRD Pro Andre! I wish I had the dollars for the Trailhound. I would love to have that rig. I have no doubt that TFL will find a buyer for it. Cool video!

Just bought a 2019 4Runner. Specifically wanted a pre-Covid build with no start/stop. The 2019 was the way to go. I have a ‘13 sequoia with the 5.7 and I feel like I have two vehicles I can drive for life. Good choice Andre.

[@nismo370z4]

4.0 V6 4Runners do not have start / stop. Pushbutton start and larger screen and heated steering wheel, collision braking/ radar cruise were the minor updates thru 2024.

[@mexicano01100]

Yep I have a 23 and pretty much have all that

[@kevinleis1114]

Congratulations Andre good purchase I love watching your guises content and have for years. It helped me get into My first GEN 2014 F150 raptor. I bought it In 2020 for 37,000 with 60,000 miles on it just turned 100,000 and still running strong no problems other than tires and shocks. Something to be said about the reliability of a normally aspirated V8. I’m looking forward to watching more of your content with your new purchase, peace, brother.

Came out of Michigan…we use a lot of salt here haha

[@christiancastellanos6036]

Andre, I love your new truck! I used to own a 2021 Tundra SR5. There’s a few things I wish I knew about Tundras that would have made my ownership experience a little easier: 1. It is absolutely imperative that you have a catalytic converter shield! It looks like you have a big skid plate on yours, but make sure it fully covers both catalytic converters. 2. The metal is a bit soft, so be careful when loading heavy items - it dents very easily. If you use it as a work truck I would suggest getting bed rails and headache rack. 3. It’s steel not aluminum like an f150. Take care of any deep scratches quickly or they will rust. 4. The heater only has two settings, off and surface of the sun. That may be less of an issue for you in Colorado than me in South Texas. I would either do heat on windows cracked or just alternate turning the heat on and off.

[@highpro1394]

Can’t go wrong with a gen 2 V8 tundra. I love my 2020 tundra platinum!!!😊😊😊

[@JahyMoonwalker]

yes! i'm rocking a '10 with s/c

[@JayLester-u8o]

Great choice Andre. I’m with you on the mileage on the V8’s. Not enough to worry about it. Many happy miles with the “new” truck. Live your channel.

[@brandonrides8953]

Last good Tundra

[@isytrevino733]

The fact that Andre held back from buying brand new and buying used tells me a lot. I’ve been on the market for a new pick up truck, but just can’t swallow the price that they want to give. Thank you, Andre for your insight. I am now looking at used trucks. I’ve never been an import guy but now I’m looking for a truck just like the one you bought. Love the color on it.

[@ryanmalec4234]

Good to see u didn't get a crappy Ram

[@franzvanjulio5523]

Congratulations, Andre! That’s a sweet ride. I hope you and your family love it, use it a lot and have many safe miles in it.

[@lav1daloca]

45k for a 5 year old Tundra V8 with 120k km thats insane! I wouldnt have paid a cent for 20k for it.

[@Bobstone2131]

Outstanding! I would have grabbed the 1794, but the TRD Pro is excellent as well. Congratulations

[@derrickschultz6871]

You should have asked for a few grand off because of that snorkel. It looks stupid. Nice truck though. Good work.

[@christophercassidy1075]

Congratulations, looks great! Enjoy with your family!!!

[@jsalinas118]

I would have went with the last generation Nissan Titan

[@lospolloshermanos420]

I haven't seen a newer Titan on the road in a while. That says a lot about their crappy engines.

[@jsalinas118]

@lospolloshermanos420 I have had good luck with mine got 248,542 miles on mine and still going strong
