Taking a Pair of Toyota Tundras on a 4000-Mile Road Trip Through the Frozen Canadian North

Back in 2014 we took two Toyota Tundras, a new 2014 model and a 2007, on huge road trip over one of the roughest roads in the Canadian North, the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Keep the 5.7 and upgrade the transmission. 8 speed? 10 speed? Something

@@davidschlarp1606 yes I agree!

[@muhammadhanifkurnaen6689]

Initial leaks says they abandon 5.7 v8 and go with 3.5 v6 turbo. Hope they rethink that. Big reasons are efficiency and emission level just not enough to meet new standard

[@Speedster_ELuu86]

@@muhammadhanifkurnaen6689 there’s a possibility of hybrid cause Toyota is making some cars only hybrid now

[@dftns19]

That was fantastic. You guys should organize something similar in the future.

[@TruckKing]

We have several trips ready - on paper. We just need a truck partner with money. We are pitching...

[@chrisgleeton6823]

You should do a trip to the far, far North, on the ice roads in the winter. Start in Winnipeg and end up in NWT, or Nunavut, or something like that.

[@tonyhans9729]

I drive my 2010 mb r350 move from toronto to whitehorse this year january. 5500km total. from edmonton to whitehorse, the temperture is -40c with big snow. I also tow a uhaul trailer. it's very hard to drive a lower car in coldest snow weather in north bc mountain road. after this trip, my car is fine just need change tire and new windshield. but bucause too cold, the trailer broke light wire and uhaul charge me $25 for wire. I want change to a midsize truck this winter because my r350 stuck in this winter first snowstorm even it has 4X4 and air suspension, but whitehorse dealer sell their truck with msrp or higher price. I can't pay a midtruck for 60K after tax price also 10k higher than edmonton dealer price.

[@TruckKing]

Yeah, everything costs more up north.

Love how he said “garage” 😂

[@tritchie6272]

Out of couriousity, is that a typical Canadian pronunciation? I've never heard it pronounced that way. But then again I'm American so I don't know how Canadians pronounce things. As far as that goes here in the USA folks tend to pronounce things abit different in different parts of the Country.

[@latinbeandip]

@@tritchie6272 I was wondering the same thing lol

[@mxbroadcast]

Haha yes it is he’s just got the Ontario slang, all our provinces are much like each state with their own weird sounds 😂

[@marksullivan3424]

@@tritchie6272 I think the way he pronounced garage is more of an old school way you here Canadians say it, or more of a Western Canadian thing. I say the same you probably say it

Makes me more proud and rest assuring that I just bought a 2018 Tundra Crew Max Limited 4wd!!

[@mikelangan2707]

Toyota- do it again! What better way to show the World your trucks are great?

[@TheJoshuaborden]

How the hell could you go on a trip that long and not have MUSIC near the top of the list. Great video guys.

[@TruckKing]

Shows you how concerned we were we logistics - totaly forgot the music.

[@richardjones990]

Really enjoyed the look back at the "new" 2014 Tundra, Lab Trip.. They are a fine truck, "If it's not broke don't fix it". Finding a skid shield under your truck isn't too bad, it could have been a body. Keep up the great work guys!!!!!!!

[@TruckKing]

Thanks Richard - we hope to do it again.

[@subielife4life]

I love the father and son relationship it's really enjoying to watch...

[@djw5415]

Wow 4,000 miles in tough conditions. Really shows the testament to the Toyota Tundra. Just hope they don’t change the new one too much so reliability is affected. Thanks guys for doing this trip!!!

[@mariosola1]

2022 getting rid of the v8 for turbo v6s, probably a skip year

[@bubba4072]

I really enjoy videos like this. I wish it was longer. I have a 38 gallon tank in my 2016 TRD Pro. I guess I have y'all to thank for that. Thanks, Truck King 😀!!!!!

[@Arexodius]

Yeah I totally could have watched several hours of footage from this trip! It doesn't need to be high definition or high quality to be watchable. It just needs to be footage of some kind. You should really consider some longer video projects (1+ hour... 2+ hour... etc). Because there are definitely people willing to watch all of that 👍👍

[@motormossvlogs1450]

Toyota, let them take the new model truck!!! And also buy an older 2014 style with a lot of miles and let them take!

[@TristanTris321GoT]

Truly awesome guys! I really want to see that trip again in the 2022 new gen Tundra!!! 👍🏼

I have a 2014 sr5 4x4 that I bought in late 14. It has been all over America. The only part she hasn't been to is the northeast. She towed a 29 foot travel trailer cross country both ways without a problem... Except for the gas tank. This video has made me fall in love with this truck all over again. Thank you for this video.

[@andyham6094]

When I go on journeys and adventures and long trips, I basically put my life in Toyota’s hands, not just me but everyone else who’s with me. The trust factor and peace of mind is huge and the main reason I have always and always will buy toyotas. My 4runner has never let me down, literally never! And I’ve driven all over the country back and forth and back and forth in some of the most remote places where if your rig breaks down you are screwed. Thank you toyota for always coming through for me and so many others who understand what it’s like to own a toyota and that great feeling knowing you don’t have to worry about them failing you.

My wife and I drove the entire trans lab highway in 2016 in our new 2016 Tundra We started in Texas and drove to the west coast in California, up to Canada , across the U.S. and Canada, up the trans lab highway, caught the ferry to New Foundland then another ferry to Nova Scotia, drove down the east coast of the U.S. then back home. What a fantastic trip. Over 20,000 miles and we never had one issue with the truck and we were pulling a 25’ travel trailer. The larger fuel tank was a blessing since fuel was scarce along the way.

[@TruckKing]

Now that's a road trip!

[@dominick253]

6:30 they have to do that. In fact that's the first thing you do as a plow driver. you make room for the snow on the road to go somewhere.

I've decided a Tundra will be next truck. The Gladiator just isn't big enough. I know the platform is dated and a new gen is coming out next year but I like really want just a simple v8 and not the turbo v6. Less moving parts means less things that break. I'm trying to decide if I should grab a 21 while there is probably some end of year deals going on or just wait until the 22's come out
