Mech here. The 5.7 is an extremely stout and strong motor. But I wouldnt add the supercharger, it will shorten the service life of the vehicle. The trans in these trucks are very overbuilt and very strong but you will bugger your planetaries if you start adding boost and lead footing it. They are built to be kept stock. Definitely the most reliable trucks on the road!

Downsides to supercharging: lowers your reliability, lowers your mileage, increases your weight in the front which will reduce offroad capability especially in snow. More weight = more sliding. You might want to keep the engine bone stock.

[@CanadianPrepper]

I think you make good points

[@cmhwilder]

kills resale value too.

[@BasedGhoul]

@@CanadianPrepper Keep the engine stock Nate. It may not be the most fuel efficient but its powerful enough for your needs and above all, very dependable.

[@barrettwissell9708]

AMEN.

[@frankd9767]

With a 5.7 V-8 you should have plenty of power. The only reason to supercharge (I would prefer a turbocharger) is if you are towing a heavy trailer through hills, or you operate at very high altitudes.

[@98765432123456789000]

"not alot of bells & whistles in the inside & is abit of a dated interrior"- thats exactly what makes the taco & tundra superior imo. i really hope toyota keeps the interrior nice & simple like the pre mid 2000 cars. i would think majority of people still prefer this

[@Razvan_Udrea]

1) For a prepper do not supercharge! The reasons are as follows: A) one more thing to break, the complexity of the engine increases so the chance of something go wrong and B) this will lock you out of the gas alternatives which brings me to no2 2) Gas engines have their multi fuel as well. In fact the bio-gas is actually ethanol ( you will find in spirts like vodka ) and if you process it good enough to reach 97% than it will work instead of gas pretty well. More over the engine oil is much simpler to craft. I personally don't know how to home brew engine oil but google may know something about this. Safe driving!

[@bcb2585]

This is a long list. One thing you need to do immediately is get a full size spare under there and start doing 5 tire rotations. That is item number 1. Metal front and rear bumpers are a must for being a prepper. You never know if you'll have to push cars or debris out of the way after shtf to clear the road, and you want your bumpers to be able to do that. Of course the auxiliary fuel tank, or jerry can mounts is a must. Find a way too to put a fresh water tank mount somewhere so that you always have at least 3-5 gallons of fresh water stored on your truck. Gun rack/ safe is a great idea. Recovery gear, like an axe and shovel are crucial for any prepper BOV. You already mentioned that a winch was in your future. Rock sliders are something to consider. Roof rack is a must for sure, unless you plan on pulling a trailer. Dump the tono cover you have currently and go for something that maximizes cargo space, unless you plan on towing a trailer. A different bed cover that is flush with the cab will maximize the "dry" interior cargo space, and will allow for a full size roof rack as well. I doubt that in shtf you are bringing your quad with you; but I may be mistaken. Ditch lights and light bars are a good option for when all the street lights go out and you need to see all around you. HAM Radio affixed in you cockpit somewhere could prove invaluable, or a CB. Invest in a dual battery system, daisy chained together to maximize your on board power storage. Install a cut off circuit so that you can run electronics with the engine off, but the flow of electricity shuts off after one battery is drained so that you can always start your engine. I would not affix solid solar panels to the roof; instead I would keep a solar film/ folding panel in the cab, and have the hookups enabling you to charge the dual/ triple battery system you install. I would also keep a vehicle bag/ get home bag in the truck so that you can hike out if something happens to the truck. Turbo chargers/ super chargers are hard on engines, and it will shorten its life. I would not install one if this is a doomsday vehicle. Definitely get all the skid plates and armor you can put on there for sure. Those are my thoughts.

The thing is built up and decked out to the teeth and either going to try it list everything on it but I'm just going to say that that thing has been the most reliable truck on earth to me. 20 year old truck and it still kicks the hell out of a lot of the modern ones. I love the sound of that whistling turbo I can keep up 85 miles an hour on the highway but when push comes to shove I have more torque and power than everybody else. the F250 may not have as much space as a tundra I'm not sure but I'd be willing to bet that it comes damn close because it's got more space than any other person's truck I've been in except for the Tundra Crewmax

No reason to supercharge it unless you want the cool factor. If you needed more towing power then you would have bought a diesel powered Ford, Chevy or Dodge. Supercharged/turbo engines can be great for certain applications, however that extra pressure will cause parts to wear and fail faster vs a naturally aspirated engine over time and just another item to service. In the end it's totally up to you.

[@FunWithGuns]

[@YabbaDabbaDOOM]

The Tundra is a nice truck that I'm sure you'll be happy with. I did the same thing - traded a Tacoma for a 1794 a couple years ago. I didn't particularly want the 1794 package (although it is nice) but I needed something a bit larger to tow with - immediately, and it had 5-6k on the odo as a certified pre-owned. Although it is probably fine, people do it all the time, I didn't want to roll right off the lot and tow a trailer across the country. As for "mods," the two I'd suggest doing is 1) Replacing the plastic oil filter housing (current generation Tundras went away from the traditional spin-on filter) with an aluminum one. The plastic is fine, but I just prefer the aluminum variant, and I have always done my own oil changes. On several of the Toyota forums, there is a bit of discussion about this, along with the appropriate part numbers, should you consider swapping this part. Of course, the special tool to safely/easily remove the housing is basically a must-have, either way, and if you don't change your own oil, make sure the person doing it has the tool. 2) A locking gas cap. Yea, it is a bit inconvenient at the pump to spend a few seconds every time to put in the key. I started using the locking gas caps about about a decade ago when the economy in the midwest USA got really bad, gas prices were high, and yes, gas theft became a problem. If someone really wanted to tamper with a gas tank, the locking cap wouldn't totally stop them...but it is a cheap barrier that might succeed in having them look elsewhere (in a group running from bears...you don't have to be the fastest, as the saying goes). Other than those two things, I added a cap for the back and installed a CB radio (Uniden Bearcat with firestick.) Because of the cap, mounting the antenna was a bit of a challenge, so I tried out a mount that basically bolts on in the same location, opposite of the factory radio antenna, and it worked out nicely. I changed out the factory fog light bulbs for aftermarket HID ones - EASY to do, BIG difference, and worth it. I also changed the headlight bulbs with premium aftermarket replacements, but with a marginal difference. It was a royal PITA to change the headlight bulbs, so I'm betting most people will wait until one bulb quits to fool with this, and replace it with whatever bulb puts off having to go through this process for the longest amount of time. This is getting to be a long post, so I'll keep the supercharger comment a bit short...I'd pass on it. The brakes are fine on the Tundra....but for someone who tows, lives in the mountains, or is a "spirited driver," I'd wager brakes would be an "area of opportunity" for premium aftermarket parts. I'd put my money in that area and following the maintenance schedule.

[@marpsr]

Supercharging it will wear the engine more quickly.

[@teaganwindago3132]

No you need not super charge your Tundra. I'm on my 5th 4X4 Tundra and I love them. two things to do. 1st install a cold air intake. I helped K&N develop mine and it gives you 19 HP. I went through many so I don't have the part number handy but will get it to you. Its only 320 dollars. Then the next is the tune on the truck. I have worked a lot with the only guy in the world that can re-flash the ECU on a Tundra. The tundra has a learning ECU so a piggy back system wont work. I re-flashed my 2016 tundra and it was a different truck. Hows 148 MPH with 4 wheel drive and 1000 RPM's to go sound to you you? Its real. I've done it. Your truck is at half throttle 1st through 3rd gear. yeah it's still fast. But with full throttle you will have a different truck. My tuner is working on the tune. As soon as its available i'll let you know and walk you through the process.

1) OK... absolutely supercharge it. AAP will never forgive you if you don't. 2) You might want a second deep-cycle battery and proper charging gear (solar as well as an alternator tap), and while you are mucking around with it you might wire in exterior power taps to the front and back (isolating the second battery from your starting battery for obvious reasons) and grab a roll of 12 volt cable for running power into your tent area if you're into that. That's helpful come the apocalypse (fridges, lights, etc.). 3) Ham radios would be nice. There are HF/VHF/UHF mobiles that are nice, though the HF antennas are best attached once parked, as good long distance ones are way too big for use while driving. Rigging a remote connection in the back for that might be nice if you do radios. APRS radios can be activated to report where you are over to the internet, if you need rescuing, but that has OpSec issues of course. 4) You will need a proper jack, shovel, tracks, tow straps, shackles and all that crap. There are locking tool boxes that securely bolt to roof racks for the smaller items if you want to keep the box sorted. 5) If you come up with a solution to put "the demonitizing thing that shall not be named" under your rear seat I'd like to see it. That's one flaw in my 4Runner TRD that bugs the hell out of me. Thanks CP!

This video is the reason I know this guy is not serious about long term situations. Superchargers, hard to find engine parts. YAHOO, dont I look cool in my new ride.

[@stevengregory126]

No, on supercharger. I believe you have to burn premium gas which is a nogo for a bugout vehicle. Love the truck though, beautiful color.

[@woundeddove]

Can’t get much in that TINY BED. I am 62 and my GMC is bigger.I have tons of storage under my back seats.

[@roguepilot1]

CP, she said it's tiny...

[@JohnnyR1_Rider]

Congrats for the New Truck, ITS awesome! Hugs from Brazil

[@WPJsPlace]

“Or if I wanted to strangle them!!!!” LoL

[@mountainvalleysunshine7228]

I am a petrolhead you could say. I find this a facinating perspective on trucks and vehicles in general. Its not my choice for said purposes but its a beutiful truck. Don't turbo or supercharge it, less reliable and even more horrid fuel economy lol

[@michaelbury1941]

Awesome truck. But I’m done spending 5k a year in fuel. Waiting for electric.

[@mixflip]

So true. 6 years ago VIA motors showed Jay Leno a gas electric hybrid Silverado that got 100mpg. Electric motor turned the wheels with 400ft lbs of torque and the small gas engine only ran to charge the batteries. I was ready to buy back then!!! Still nothing 6 years later.

[@donthesheek]

Remove the mufflers run straight pipe from cat back out........put on a trd ca intake then run it in tow mode.......... it'll set you back in the seat even without a super charger.

[@chief6951]

Supercharge Id say no, could possibly mess with reliability.

[@psychology2217]

I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Diesel. It is the most amazing vehicle both on and off road. I have taken it one some crazy quad trails, but it still pulls a trailer like a champ. Front and rear diff lockers for amazing off road

[@Jon_AdventureHound]

Love the truck, I have the ‘19 1794 TRD-Off-Road. Traded my Tacoma for it as well, for pretty much the same reasons. Take care bro.

[@bettysmith4527]

Rumor has it that the next Tundra will be a double hybrid engine... we will have to wait to know for sure!

[@occonnerwilderness8923]

Rivian already has an electric truck that you can plug power tools into. Imma wait for the Tesla one

[@CanadianPrepper]

100K is out of my price range

[@montanaplease]

My 2017 tundra 5.7L 4x4?extra cab gets 17-18 miles per gallon out of the 28K miles I have on it so far. This was done with a calculator and through every single fill up I have ever done with it. My dad and best friend have a 2015 Tacoma 4x4 Trd and they both get between 16 and 18 miles per gallon. They also spent right around $36,000 on their Tacoma's which is exactly what I spent on my tundra out the door. I would much rather have the extra 110 hp and comfort of the tundra versus that little Tacoma with no bed . I don't know if they fixed it yet but since 2007 through 2017 Toyota has never addressed the fuel gauge problem. My dash can go all the way down to where it says I have 0 miles until empty and yet I can only fit 21 gallons in it at that point. That means it still has 5 gallons of gas in it when the gauge says 0 miles to empty. I was reading Toyota forums that day all the way back to 2007 when the tundra first came out and they were reporting the same thing Wayback then. The dealership tells me Toyota is not interested in fixing it. I never cared for the look of the Tacoma anyway but I've always loved the look of the tundra. If you look at a regular bed four-door Tacoma the cab portion literally looks like it's exactly in the middle of the vehicle because the bed in the hood are roughly the same length. To me that looks stupid . And I don't know why every single truck company has not adapted that built-in step that the Chevy Silverado has built into the rear bumper. That's just a no brainer .

[@lylemacdonald6672]

CP, Check out ExpeditionOverland out of Montana and their Tundra build. Top end racks etc. which they sourced out of USA manufacturers. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy your new ride.

[@davidv7616]

I have a 19 TRD Pro with 3 inch lift and supercharged it within two months of owning it. I would recommend that to you especially if your hauling or just don't want to lose to a Ram lol.. awesome truck man you will love it.

[@Dumpsterfire88]

Need to go with the decked system for the bed. Especially if your a Prepper

[@robs867]

Vape Trendz I got a Silverado crew 1500 and was thinking about the decked system with my current diamond back. How do you like that system?

[@Dumpsterfire88]

I put one in my 18 Silverado 1500 and I love it. Tons of water tight storage that can be locked and still holds plenty of weight on top of the box system. And half the price of similar systems. Definitely worth checking out.

[@robs867]

Vape Trendz cool, 18 I have also. I think it’s def something I’m considering for storing all my tools and prep camping stuff I already have in the back. It will keep it organized and I’ll still have a decent amount of inches from the deck to the top of the inside of the diamond back. Chevy all the way

[@AsphaltCowboyUSA]

I have the same 2015. Don’t supercharge it, or it will require only premium gas. That’s not a bug out vehicle anymore. It’s more like a toy.

[@JuanSouth2010]

Nice upgrade! Sure do miss my Tundra but traded to a Ram Ecodiesel. Don’t forget to add some Canadian Prepper images for the startup screen and screen saver.

[@JuanSouth2010]

gator nation I have not received any recall notice from FCA. I believe most of the issues are from 14-16 but with the recent software update it could include the 2017- current. I’ve been keeping an eye on the developing story, and researching Ram 2500’s with the Cummins engine. The truck has been great so far.

[@kencampbell589]

I think the diesel engine is allot better then regular gas.

[@JBM-yr3xw]

Bro I love your channel but there aint nothing prepper about a gas engine gas hog like that. Its great off road and reliable, but once that thing is loaded down its going to get shat for mpg. You need a diesel, preferably something older that can run home made biodiesel as well. Gets more mpg, good torque for off road, able to run multi fuel. But its a sweet truck!!! Glad you are happy with it!! Love the channel!!

[@BC-li6zc]

You might (being a prepper) look at a in bed auxiliary fuel tank.

[@daisytaylor1610]

We have a 2006 Tundra but it was just a bit short on hauling power, so bought another 2019 Tundra Limited. Looking forward to seeing how you transform yours into the ultimate bug out vehicle.

[@johnlord8337]

Marshall, ... home James ... and where's my Mountain House ? !

[@Kevin-lm9ex]

Congrats man I had one for 177k trouble free miles and traded it for 17k when it was 11 years old. Took me all over the ya hunting and skiing and app that great truck. You ll love it.

[@chief6951]

What's the chance of EMP protection for your new truck?

[@fredguntern.e.4185]

That is funny! Worrying about an EMP when these gas hogs are already speeding humans demise just fine! Not that electric will help. CP should be showing off an old bicycle or pack animal but how many likes would that garner? Reality is a bummer.

[@shreksexy6879]

Awesome truck & awesome dog! Great anti theft deterrent. He'd bite someone's ass in a hurry 😆

[@davidrobins1298]

Wow, wish I could afford a small generator to keep the pump running for an emergency...

[@blackheartsmarine0351]

I bought a 2021 cement Tacoma after having a 2005 gmc 2500. After 13000 miles I traded for a 2021 cement tundra. Much happier. Even got a tundra with a front bench seat. Very hard to find. Especially in crewmax cement and 4x4.

[@stevesigler5241]

I love my 2019 Tundra TRD Sport double cab 5.7. I like that you got rid of the chrome as it just does not look right especially on the TRD off road. I bought the Sport because of the lack of chrome and the dual sway bars over the off road. I do spend 90 percent of my time on the road also towing my bass boat. Have fun with the awesome truck brother!

[@commonconservative7551]

better off with a van, and a roof rack

[@cinemantics231]

If Toyota made a E100 flex fuel plug in hybrid version of the Tacoma or the Tundra, they would be the best prepper vehicles ever.

[@ruddyb49]

Turbo charge is another thing to fail with nobody to fix

[@Cooliemasteroz]

How about a four or six wheel trailer with all wheels powered by electric motors that can be switched on only when needed. Although it’s something that needs to be engineered by engineers it could actually improve your cross country ability instead of reduce it and maybe even improve your range if you can carry enough batteries and have an automated way of switching it on when needed say when climbing moderate inclines, accelerating and not just for the odd extreme obstacle. Also if you need to turn around in a confined space you could disconnect from the vehicle and controls could allow it to spin on the spot like a tracked vehicle.

[@johnganshow5536]

I was wondering how long it was going to take you to get a full size truck. Full sized men require full sized vehicles...

[@johnganshow5536]

@AVERAGE JOE A full sized man driving a smart ( stupid ) car, is gay...

[@johnmorgan1629]

The ribs underneath the diamond plate. Great spot for multi-purpose rods (e.g. fishing rods or camping poles), as well as ground sheet or other plastic sheets, to be used as shelter, wind break, which can be folded up and slid in the gap, simple bungee cord could hold that in place. For tools as well, Silky Saws, breaker bars, a few foam pads stuck to the upper surface, then few holes drilled, so you can span the gap with a plate, with more foam stuck on, holds tools in place and stops rattling.
