Toyota Tundra 2025 review Australia

[@JohnHaldezos]

It's Absolutely perfect for me, except for one small problem, I can't afford it

[@fred3527]

$160'000+ for 2 weeks a year and astronomical fuel consumption, depreciation, insurance, maintenance, etc. the rest of the time? It's like the arms race. He with the biggest truck wins.

[@53glowe]

The Tundra Limited in the USA is $54,000 usd ($84k in Australian dollars). In OZ...$154k+ on roads. That's $74k for import costs, RHD conversion and profit. Ouch 😮

[@666dualsport]

the conversion company is a bigger thief than the labor party

[@iqbaljamali1955]

Mate it’s 90k in USA

[@edwardz5975]

If you saying FWD then yes. Can confirm here in the U.S, I purchased a new 25 Tundra SR5 4x4 last month, got a great discount of 12k off from 57k.

[@jamesbell3232]

Bought a 2024 Silverado ZR2 and i love it. Suspension is so smooth on the roughest of roads and they done a better job with the interior and stereo controls easier to reach on the driver side. Done a great job with the conversion and the active exhaust sounds amazing with the 6.2 V8 brings a smile everytime i put the foot down and the exhaust note is a headturner😀

[@therightcar]

Love it! Silverado is my favourite big truck of the lot!

[@chrisz8532]

I recon if you’re in this market segment, maybe waiting for the Ford Super Duty. Speculators saying 4500t towing, GCM around 8000kg, 3.0 V6 from the Ranger with F150 running gear and hopefully sub $90k. 2026 👍

[@therightcar]

It’s a long wait, though…. But good point.

[@666dualsport]

sub 90k?????? what planet are you on buddy

[@robinbell2263]

Trust me the Super Duty will be way up there $150k +. Also, why would you want mediocre build quality by getting a ford?

[@pug2411]

After the Aussie conversion its a Toyota Chunder.

[@therightcar]

lol 😂

[@sidjyothi]

IIHS safety rating is good enough for us. ANCAP is pretty useless.

[@Raptor50aus]

Did that one come with the metal shavings in the motor too?

[@stendecstretcher5678]

Yes he truck that keeps on giving.

[@gordonclark7632]

Not really manufactured for us with controls being set for the original market as in the USA.

[@Malc664]

Ah damn, it won't fit in my garage.

[@Steveaustin007]

The Tundra’s I looked at were high $170,000. Approximately 300kg heavier than F150.

[@therightcar]

That would be “including on road costs”

[@robinbell2263]

I would buy the Tundra if I had the money! No doubt the best UTE!

[@therightcar]

It’s very impressive. Just very expensive.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

how does converting them to a right-hand drive cost nearly AU$100,000.00? these sell for mid $50's to $60's in the US how?

[@conradscheepers]

Also failing engines in the USA ....

[@brianross4057]

60000USD = 94000AUD at the current rate so it is probably more like 60000AUD for the conversion, the conversion has them totally dismantling the vehicle and rebuilding it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3LFfWaepsZnatE

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Because your Government has killed your dollar and then they tax the crap out of what you buy. Look up all the taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, fees and excises on this car.

[@jackabubba]

We have highly intelligent people here in Arse-tralia spending 100k on a 79 series with plywood seats, 120 000 on the clock and a 5 speed.....

[@666dualsport]

greed greed greeed

[@rayzar6720]

I'm in the market for a new 4x4 after owning a 100 series TD from new and was holding back to check out the new Tundra. Very disappointed. I'll look at the other options for the price or spend 50k and do up the 100 series. BTW excellent review thankyou

[@stendecstretcher5678]

The CUB community will love this.

[@ChrisB-u4n]

Excellent, now if only they would make the car spaces a big bigger to accommodate the size of such vehicles. (I wouldn't buy one, not practical for me unless I want to tow 3 caravans, LOL)

[@bennettcain635]

How do they calculate Luxury Car tax? It appears you cannot buy a new car in Australia anymore that the tax doesn't apply to. The cost of new vehicles in Australia is so rediculous now. I saw a second hand RAV 4 the other day that hadn't been looked after with a for sale sign on it for 45k. A RAV 4. Rediculous.

[@MrAstro666]

Nearly ticks all the boxes, you would think they could easily change over the blinkers and wiper switches, from another right hand drive Toyota, info screen, with home one the left, would be annoying too, fuel economy, service costs and no road side assist, which you get on a cheap O Chinese vehicle, yes it a Toyota, but not as polished as the Toyotas I have owned and driver over many years, hopefully over time, they just put that little more effort into the finished product, and add some additional owner satisfaction/peace of mind for the high price point.

[@tallboy49]

Typical Toyota. They have developed a typical take it or leave it attitude of late hoping that people will just blindly keep buying their products regardless of the price and lack of equipment. This thing is probably a very good unit but not at that price especially when the mirrors are not right, the controls are on the wrong side of the steering column and other controls in the cab are difficult to reach.

[@ubernoob103]

Walkinshaw have done a truly awful job at converting this. The infotainment and climate control mistakes are unacceptable for a car so effing expensive. Either that, or toyota just dont care enough and arent supporting walkinshaw like they should.

[@jam2theongie836]

considering how many of these things are blowing up in the US while still being basically brand new, plus the HUGE wait times for long blocks and the ridiculous purchase price, i just dont see it being a big seller. no surprise considering how many L's toyota has been taking in the last few years

[@jeppo1185]

Tundra?.....Chundra!

[@therightcar]

LOL

[@morriemariani9646]

This is going to sell next to nothing here. Overpriced pos with known issues in that v6

[@HmoobOz]

I don't think Australia roads and car parks are designed for US truck. By the way you should do a video Tundra VS Hilux we would love to see it

[@tzeshenlim]

Prize make 99% Lexus owner felt cheap well done

[@brycem0]

Picking up a 23 Patrol Warrior...100k drive away. Crazy pricing for more expensive purchases. Luxury car tax, then pay on top.The top rate of stamp duty on the whole purchase. 🤑 Rort, tax on tax....

[@404errorpagenotfound.6]

Also gave honest opinion and comment deleted.

[@therightcar]

Are you saying you made a comment and I deleted it?

[@404errorpagenotfound.6]

@therightcar dunno who deleted it but it's gone..

[@ajonnieq2002]

Nice...

[@therightcar]

Thanks!

[@swordofesau952]

The steering wheel is on the wrong side

[@CombattWombatt]

I bought my used LandCruiser for10k 5 years ago. It can go anywhere the Tundra can go.. and is worth more $ now than when i bought it.. $150,000😂😂

[@fale892]

Why?

[@gill7087]

$150k for a Ute that looks like a Ssanyong Musso on steroids? These ‘Tundra’ pickups’ are sold in the US for as little as $39k US and are usually for people who can’t afford one of the big three. Weird how Toyota think because they get away with selling the new 1985 model 79 series Ute at a premium they can foist the Tundra on us as well. I’m sure its okay for a $75k vehicle but not $150k.

[@seedias5961]

Where are they made?

[@YZJB]

Built in America then converted to RHD in Melbourne.

[@philross1680]

Thanks Matt for another interesting video. The Tundra is a great looking vehicle and was interested to hear you say how good the ride is. It certainly sounds better than my Ford Everest Sport with those 20” wheels ☹️. Those “little” niggles you pointed out certainly should have been sorted out before it’s release here. However the power and grunt that Hybrid engine I think will make up for a lot of those issues. I’m not surprised by the price tag as that’s the way Toyota is going these days with all their vehicles 🤔but I’m sure a certain element of the population will snap them up and for good reason.

[@therightcar]

Thanks mate! Glad you found the vid insightful. 😎

[@hicat6245]

Hi BYD! please bring the Mega Shark less than $100k!

[@dougcox3990]

The tray is no bigger than a holden or falcon ute.

[@alexfrankl7861]

has that POS V6

[@therightcar]

Why you call it that?

[@alexfrankl7861]

@therightcar is it the same V6 the yanks have ? then yes, it's a shocker

[@ajs-qv5fe]

what an antiquated monstrosity, it would be an utter embarrassment to be seen in one.

[@Cap9054]

Boomer!!

[@stendecstretcher5678]

@@Cap9054goon

[@brentonGCTesla]

for that sort of money i'd buy a Nissan Z coupe, and a crappy old hilux for 50k to pull stuff with. :)

[@arffadailey8055]

I would prefer a hilux champ, already right hand drive. Come on toyota looks like l have fly to thailand & bring one back myself.

[@ETERNITY777]

🤑🤑🤑 MY AFTER PAY ACCOUNT CAN NOT COVER THIS PRICE 😡🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@georgejones7307]

There's a lot of negative videos in the USA about all these cars. One after the other horror stories. Bad engines, poorly designed engines and idiotic plastic parts everywhere in the engine bay. As for Toyota, there quality is reportedly getting as bad as everyone else.

[@Procharged32]

Toyota's lost out to the Ten news chinese company's dropping off their duelcabs that will be half the price and just as reliable.

[@lesilestivany7839]

I'll get a Hino 300,,, for a far cheaper price 🤔

[@andrewiverach659]

Well we know what is causing the cost of living crisis

[@carpocolypsenow]

Its just to expensive, chevy zr2 is cheaper and offers a lot more trucking for the money , the ram has a better interior and the F150 has it beat by 50k in price. That a whole nother car or boat. Plus the f150 recalls are mostly complience issues with a few other things.

[@MustacheSwan]

Hahahahahhahahaha that price 😂

[@therightcar]

Right? What should it cost, do you think?

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

Too many recalls. Too many problems. Not made for RHD. Laughable sticker price. Cashed up caravan boomers will love it. Get the previous Gen2 with the V8.

[@therightcar]

Yeah, that Gen2 was a corker.

[@tonybennett638]

How stupid this and the rest 🤪

[@TeamSethRules]

Toyota tax being applied for what is not a lot features at all. Will only be bought by those with small man type issues that want that big thing. Ridiculous prices for cars in Australia.

[@darrenedwards5925]

a joke price for a average truck ,,, sad Toyota did not consider Australia worth adapting it properly eg wrong sided controls !

[@buncha5651]

Another horrible Yank Tank. 💩

[@petercrawford3370]

It is uneccessiraly large. Definitely not for our NZ market. But if I was gonna behave in a manner that demonstrates over compensation type behaviors, I'd buy the big Silverado

[@rockstargrader]

Oh shoosh

[@robmotown1]

It’s not a yank tank unless it has a V8. This is a fairy EV.

[@Louie2309]

Another flog that bags American Trucks because they think their piss poor 2Litre Turbo diesel Asian built mini truck is still the greatest thing with wheel bolted to it.

[@simonhjc]

Toyota have lost the plot. Feom the new prado, the 300, the tundra. Are they seriously asking us to pay $160,000 for a vehicle that still has cabin features set up for LHD? My advice (and inwas a rusted on landcruiser owner, former auctioneer for toyota australia) Buy something else

[@mickdimi1456]

Horrible looking, like a sanyong musso... a Ranger owner England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@therightcar]

Don’t be mean to the Musso!

[@Erik-wd6ng]

overpriced junk😂😂

[@666dualsport]

make em affordable and sell millions or stay greedy and watch china destroy the motor industry

[@jxmai7687]

wow real cheap plastic not like normal Toyota quality.

[@duncanorme2131]

Nope. Overpriced with too much junk. Strip all the electronics and just give us a base truck and it might sell!

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

It was sagging in the arse with the van on. Typical Toyota. Over priced.

[@Emptyheads.]

Another way Toyota wants to rip its customer off. Boycott

[@bobcat7664]

I like American trucks but they have to start selling them at a reasonable price as well as they might be they're not worth the price of half of a house what a joke 👎

[@therightcar]

Hahahaha half the price of a house where? 2 hours west of Dubbo maybe? 🤪🤪

[@andrewiverach659]
