BADASS Truck. I love this thing and that paint color is really cool. Tough, rugged and balls to the wall the way trucks used to be. I love this thing it's a beast off-road

[@InvestBetter.]

Very good value option for those who don't need every bell and whistle. If you need heated seats and power folding mirrors, you probably aren't Pro material. This isn't as sexy as I am, but Tundra Pro is a solid place to start truckin', until I arrive.

[@charjohnnie]

Lol

[@laamor99]

+Nissan TitanWarrior You are a concept, so that's a big if you arrive…. Hopes Nissan does though.

[@Jamez8888]

My dream truck right here. off course a ford raptor wouldnt be bad but those things are pricey.

[@guyproulx1660]

+Mid West get the TRD PRO for 20 grand less than a Craptor and leave the Craptor in the dust in the stock full class in the Baja 1000 lol, the Craptor never won that race but the Tundra did, in 2014 the Craptor broke down early in the race and never finished, kind of ironic that a truck that was designed and engineered specifically for that kind of racing never won in that class, what's even more amazing is the fact that they drove that same Tundra for another 1000 miles after the race back to Torrence Ca

[@Jamez8888]

guy proulx lol I feel you. Ford has been pissing me off with their prices. They act like their vehicles are luxury goods. Ford vehicles stay in and out the shop. I have a ford escape with a check engine light on and it barely crossed the 60k mark. my girlfriend has a ford fusion and it has the check tire sensor light on and no one seems to know how to keep the lights off. lmao.

[@guyproulx1660]

Mid West that's the reason that the domestics have 7 to 10 grand incentives, 0% interest and employee pricing lol, they sure love to add bells and whistles that are prone to fail and make more more with parts and labour, domestics are money pits, i bought my first Toyota back in '88 and never looked back, there's a reason they are always on top in past to present reliability ratings with the best resale in the business, the domestics have a hard time making the top 10 lol

[@ironfist684]

Bullshit, I bought a 2k16 Tundra TRD off road and it performs better than the Ford I have and the Chevy my neighbor gets.

[@ChristopherWalkenActor]

The V8 sounds great but 13 mpg isn't very competitive with the other offerings in the segment. People will buy it due to the Toyota reputation, but you are right the interior is missing a lot of features.

[@mozillagenesis]

+Christopher .WalkenPNW aww hellll naw

[@Toyota4Life]

Not just a great reputation this truck is seriously badass and can go seriously off-roading

[@guyproulx1660]

+Christopher .WalkenPNW Toyota doesn't bullshit about their mpg's like the domestics who inflate their mpg's on paper to fool their unsuspecting customers who don't do their homework, Dodge claims that their ecodiesel gets 40 mpg in a t.v commercial, yeah right lol

[@TheShawny6970]

great review. keep up the solid work! a fav review channel

[@jasonvue6541]

great video, is too late I already got the 2016 toyota Tacoma TRD off road.

[@hygrometer]

the best trucks are made by Toyota

[@xXBurntBaconXx]

I honestly love the Tundra, and if I was going to buy a used truck built before 2011 I would go for one. Brand new, the issue is it just doesn't have the technology the newer trucks have. The Fuel Economy is considerably less than GMs 6.2L. They should have gone Dodges route if they were planning on keeping the Tundra around for 9 model years and added new tech/options as it went on. Lexus has an 8-sp auto (the very first 8-sp if I remember correctly), they could make a stronger version of that and stuck it behind this 5.7L. Can you buy the suspension pieces as a kit for an older Tundra?

[@Mr.BobbyBrown]

Toyota needs to make their interest rates more competitive. You can get a Ram Rebel at 0% for 84 months, but at the same term the Tundra sits at 5.4%. Even at 36, 48, and 60 month terms.... the interest rate is still a very high 4.59%. That's thousands of dollars extra over those time periods someone will pay due to those interest rates. At least this is how it currently is in Canada. I'm unsure of the interest rates for Ram or Toyota in the USA.

[@MyAlexVideos]

Toyota is more reliable and are better trucks overall their rates are higher for the fact that they are and that they have a better resale value!

[@doug2445]

+Mr Bobby Brown 84 months lol ! Do you even hear yourself or you find 84 months ok ? Toyota offers 0 for 60 at least 2 times I year from what I've seen.

[@Mr.BobbyBrown]

+Doug T I said 84 months because usually the longer the term the higher interest rate you pay. I was using it as an example, I never said that's what I wanted or it was okay.

[@guyproulx1660]

+Mr Bobby Brown don't forget about 7 to 10 grand incentives, employee pricing, the domestics are using every trick in the book to pull the wool over unsuspecting customers eyes lol

[@troyfoutz4807]

The big 3 don't tell the truth about real world MPG and are not even as American made as the Tundra. But I do understand that people wish the Big 3 could be as good as Toyota.

[@thedd13ram]

what happened to the XSP-X package that Toyota offered for the 2015 model?

[@virenvs905]

my next truck for sure

[@mx5hong]

Geesh, I almost didn't noticed that Trundra parked in front of the that pile of dirt.

[@pedrof830]

This should be called the ISIS special edition. Gatling gun optional.

[@guyproulx1660]

+pedrof830 how about the U.S military edition

[@MubarakSultan]

pedrof830 you right because it’s built in Texas

[@alextran8188]

Color is quicksand. Also known as taliban tan lol

[@dwightstewart7181]

Tundra isn't sold in the Middle East. I think you're referring to the Toyota HiLux, not sold in the USA. The U.S. Army did purchased a number of Tacomas for use during the Gulf/Iraq Wars. The fast, agile, and tough Tacoma is well equipped for service in that harsh region. The Tundra is well built, but just too big - a heavy tank.

[@Teamvenomracing]

What the hell is the sound at 1:33 ?? dirt flies from next to the front tire and sounds like a gun shot???

[@stevehammes]

Ran over a root

[@Teamvenomracing]

i looked and couldn't see anything! was like wth someone shot at him lmao!! Thanks

[@laamor99]

Hi Steve, does the Tundra TRD Pro handle good on road, or does it lean a lot on turns like some other lifted trucks? Trying to find out if its a sporty fun to drive pickup since they are hard to find to test drive. Would you buy it as your daily driver? Your thoughts? Great review btw. Thanks

[@stevehammes]

It's a big truck...not a sports truck. BUT, it drives beautifully on-road and off...soft. Could easily drive it everyday as long as the optional exhaust doesn't get to you.

[@dwightstewart7181]

Most likely a piece of gravel/rock shot out from the tire. Not uncommon off-road.

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

People who buy trucks for fuel efficiency are the ones who use them as grocery haulers.

[@stevehammes]

That V8 is so horribly old and inefficient that anyone who would choose the Tundra at this point of its lifecycle should have their head checked.

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

@@stevehammes Also people who buy trucks that end up in the shop a dozen times before they get 100,000 miles on them and is not reliable should get checked as well.

[@josecortez5213]

Im glad that toyota now makes trucks in mens colors.

[@Kev50027]

Are you sure TRD stands for Toyota Racing Division? Because on this truck it looks like it stands for TURD

[@stevehammes]

+Kev50027 It's just missing a 'U." Heard that one a lot that week.

[@endocry]

+Kev50027 Maybe pink would be more your speed?

[@guyproulx1660]

+Kev50027 is stands for "Toyota Usually Rapes Domestics" lol

[@Bmackins94]

so GM's 6.2 is more fuel efficient than the less powerful tundra

[@stevehammes]

+Bmackins94 By quite a bit...13/17 vs. 15/21

[@Zinizzle]

+Bmackins94 Tundra is also heavier and geared lower, because it's a REAL TRUCK. It's not a matter of "engine efficiency".

[@SSSandhu13]

+Zinizzle Lol, a Silverado or GMC 1500 aren't real trucks?

[@Bmackins94]

+Zinizzle then why do GM trucks have a higher towing capacity payload capacity then the tundra

[@Jamez8888]

+Bmackins94 Tundra are about efficiency and reliability. You can put 1million miles on these trucks and its not even a diesel. Cant say the same about those other engines.

[@thealliedpowers]

people out here really not wanting their truck to blend into the desert

[@TheRedDeadTaco]

Sad that most trd pros never make it on the trail

[@rod1217]

couse they dont want to scratch it

[@queencityarmory4633]

I hope Toyota dose't touch the engine its the last real truck. Its the most reliabel truck you can by out of the Silverado GMC Ford. FACT!

[@camaroman101]

if it's a fact you should easily be able to prove it. so prove it

[@queencityarmory4633]

I work at GM in Tonawanda NY and i drive a Tundra. A large majority of my coworkers also drive Tundras and 4Runners they are better suited for the tough Buffalo winters. Toyota's are just mad to last it sucks to say because i grow up with Silverado's but GM is not what it was and that's FACT. I have a few buddies that are engineers for GM that feel the same way and drive Tundras enough said.

[@Dirtydunton]

Wow lol, on a 1300 km road trip I just averaged 18.7 mpg combined with k02's.

[@97I30T]

You get so much more for your money with this than you would with a Ford, RAM, or GM truck.

[@MyAlexVideos]

Because their cheaper built trucks, this truck is more reliable

[@Ram-re5em]

Tundra double cab comes in a 8.0 foot bed.

[@cnoyes72]

Only in the SR and SR5 trims.

[@ast5515]

Halogen headlights. It's a 40k+ car in 2016. This is stupid.

[@Yogangster1995]

Because LEDs are worth the additional 10k right?

[@ast5515]

Mr. Tbag No. The point is that LEDs cost 500 bucks for the car manufacturers, yet they charge 5 times of that. At least... Benefits of LEDs: 1. You don't have to change them twice a year. 2. You see more of the road. 3. You don't blind everyone in the process. 4. The thing that allows you to drive at night isn't from 1920.

[@Yogangster1995]

ast5515 You are right on most of this, but i disagree on a few points. 3 is a lie, LEDs hurt like a bitch. Maybe it's my sensitive ass eyes, but i much prefer halogens than LEDs. They hurt less. I also disagree with 1, i didn't need to replace the lights on our '01 van until just last year. But regardless, i do see your point.

[@ast5515]

Mr. Tbag The problem isn't with LEDs themselves. In the US, your LED headlights are projector, like HIDs. In Europe, most of them are not even a single LED, but like 10 LEDs / light. They all light a different area, and if the car detects oncoming trafic, it switches off the part that could blind others. And most of these systems REALLY work unlike projector HIDs that are only trying to do something similar. As for replacing halogen bulbs, my car eats low beams every 2-3 months.

[@Yogangster1995]

ast5515 Well the U.S likes to screw us in every way they can.

[@hygrometer]

38gal tank? shit....oh and no grabhandle is my complaint with tacoma too

[@guyproulx1660]

+rrmcallister i have a grab handle in my '03 Tundra and i never used it, i wonder what it's there for, maybe when i turn 90 it will be useful lol

[@hygrometer]

lets get you in a brand new tundra soon!

[@guyproulx1660]

rrmcallister nah, mine should last me a few more years, i plan of getting rid of it when it turns 20 years old lol

[@firefox39693]

Drive the Model X!

[@tylerkenyon]

This Only seats 5… not 6!

[@maximilianoluera6679]

Lmfao my moms 2005 Avalon has the same key, either way though 😍😍

[@xoxo6381]

ليت ابو جميل يجيبها بدل الشاص

[@arseniyb4017]

Who cares about the cheap leather and other things that toyota has not put inside of it? Have you heard the engine sound? That's where it all at!

[@superbikesndrums]

TRD (TREMENDOUS RIDICULOUS DOLLARS). I really like these Toyota trucks, but they got us buy the balls with regard to pricing. Toyota greed!

[@superbikesndrums]

If your in a GTR I will get out of the way! Price range is not a problem, its just not worth it to me! Go around!

[@guyproulx1660]

+superbikesndrums then maybe you should think about buying domestic and get 10 grand in incentives, 0% interest and employee pricing, they are practicly giving these things away lol

[@superbikesndrums]

Thanks for the suggestion, but you go ahead and enjoy the full price payments on your TRD. :)

[@guyproulx1660]

superbikesndrums well worth the money, best resale in the business along with the best past to present reliability ratings over all brands, it's your money, spend it where you're heart desires

[@منيرالزوي-ك4ك]

👍👍👍
