In 2014 Toyota ran a TRD Pro in the Stock Full Class at the Baja 1000 and finished in 35:40. 2 years later, Ford ran a raptor in the Stock Full Class and finished in 35:59.
The advantage of buying any Toyota model mid way that has a long interval between a total redesign is that most of the bugs have been addressed and you end up with a battle tested car or truck. I have a 2015 Tundra SR5 double cab with the TRD off road package and so far with 5 central Canadian winters and 100 000 km's or 60 000 miles and have had no breakdowns or vehicle failures only oil changes and regular service. No vehicle is perfect but I expect to get many more trouble free miles and years of ownership.
(i work in the plant, so yes, i build these trucks) 1:39 all the tundras have that chip tape and deck protector. the only ones that dont get the chip tape are the ones that have side steps aka running boards. 4:35 i wish i could comment on this but i strongly agree with you 8:00 technically, those exhausts arent done in the factory. its done at TLS (Toyota Logistics Service). also, we never installed a supercharger in the plant thats also done at TLS or maybe the dealership. Thank you for reviewing a product i literally had my hands building and i appreciate it. with that being said, i will not answer any questions about the future Tundra.
I work for Toyota and sadly they are going with a v6 Turbo Tundra for next Gen that’s why I decided to buy my 2020 Trd Pro while it’s still offered in the Beefy v8!! 😎
I love how you think outside the box... Always. In upgrading and in your reviews. Your creativity is influential and addictive. Keep it as original as you Are :) Backwards uphill in 4-wheel drive. Not a common scenario, but reveals all types of daily capabilities.. love it.. these are the things I really want to know. Keep it up missus tuned..🤙
Great truck, sounds awesome. I like ending my work week with a Sarah video. Your goofy humor and enthusiasm for vehicles brightens my day. Love the landscape in that part of the country too. And Gesundheit.
Cool review, Sarah. That truck is really nicely equipped and it looks like a great performer, too. And it's a Toyota! That TRD exhaust sounds really bad-ass too. Thanks for bringing your penguin friends along for the ride. As always, keep up the great work.
Hi. I’m a carpenter and may be able to provide some insight into why the spray in style bed liners are not standard. Well- other than money. Which is the obvious answer- they can charge extra for it. The regular style old plastic type bed liners are actually preferred by a lot of workers (not that this truck in particular would be used for work). The plastic ones are much easier to slide tools in and out of, they are easy to replace if they get damaged, (which in my experience doesn’t happen often) they are significantly easier to clean. Especially if paint or something like that is spilled. Also, I personally believe the spray in bed liners are problematic with covering, hiding and promoting rust. In my opinion the regular ole’ cheap plastic liners are just better...
Tow Haul mode for faster starts, with both traction control modes turned off. For supercharger go to Magnussen Superchargers which is the manufacturer that TRD used for Toyota. 550HP and TQ
The toyota tundra is the best out there i know many of u will try to argue with me but its just true. I have a 05 with 482k a 2010 with 419k i have had 0 problems and i haul all the time using them as work trucks and my workers have ford and dodge and they have had to have engine work and transmission work as well as replacing multiple thing around the Drive train at just over 100k they just do not compare to toyota. Also there are many of these tundras that have hit 900k and even 1 million miles original just maintenance and those truck were ran to death hauling for oil companies in the hot heat of texas so there is that.
Sarah, you are so fun. Love your sense of humor and great job on the reviews. I'm glad you left the sneeze in; cute. Love that you are a car/truck enthusiast and you can wrench too!
I live in Sierra Vista, where is this trail that you are testing the Tundra on? I just got myself a 2021 4runner limited nightshade and looking for a trail like the one you are driving on to burn some steam.
@@david10006 people are such idiots.. jumping on trends like a follower and forcing the already tired "simp" or "boomer" comment is hilariously ironic because it's such a basic bitch thing to do in the first place..
Excellent review! I have a 2019 Tundra and love it. You're cute, knowledgeable and clever. Thank you also for leaving your skin natural. It's like the rebels of today are the ones that aren't all tatted up head to toe. Keep it up!
@@buddybuck it supposedly raises shift points slightly and basically disables overdrive. its all mental....and before nutswinger says otherwise, i own a tundra.
Thx for this review Sarah. I'm looking to get into to a Tundra soon, and so any reviews on them out there I'm watching...also thanks so much for all your hard work making these videos for us car nerds. It's rare I actually LEARN anything from automotive content on TH-cam. Sorry, no shade, but Doug DeMuro's quirks and features don't do it for me technically. Keep up the good work. It's much appreciated.
Mine is super dark pearl blue but looks black. Everything is blacked out from the dealership. I love it but if they had that green Im sure I would have bought it. They did have one but it wasnt the crewmax cab.
I bought mine 3 weeks ago, couldnt fine the army green, but i got my next best color, metallic gloss midnight black. Trd pro. Love the truck. I only drive it 3 days a week, so fuel is not an issue for me. Cant go wrong with this truck..?
I've heard quite a bit of people call the Tundra the "Basic Trainer" truck, which shows you how to drive a 4x4 full size truck before stepping up to, say, a Ford or a Ram. I feel like that's pretty true as you don't get the comforts that the competitors give you (10 speed transmission, rear diff lock, safety features better than "safety sense," tuned suspension when not a TRD, and other examples). You get your basic non-distracting interior, with a big V8, and all the 4x4 power you need on and off road. In that aspect... yeah, I would make this my first full size truck so I get a feel of what a TRUCK is supposed to be... and then go buy myself a Silverado Trail Boss or a RAM TRX... because I like those things.
Thanks Sara, I’ve been waiting for that review for a while now. Luv your review because they are “real world” and believable. Keep up the good work. BTW, Mr Dos is looking good. 👍🏻
Sarah I think I like this vlog better than most (and I like the others a lot) you always seem to out do yourself each time thanks for some great content ! Mike
I just saw your channel and so far I am laughing clip after clip, but I am also more informed every time you say something. I try to find unbiased opinions on things like this and you did a fantastic job on that! Thank you for what you do and I hope to eventually see more of your videos.
Myself on trucks I pick Chevy because parts are interchangeable and cheap. 4.8, 5.3 just about all parts are interchangeable. And many parts on the 6.0 are interchangeable. And they are fairly dependable.
Didn't think I'd ever really like any Yota truck besides the Land Cruiser but this one isn't bad. You are right Sarah, these Tundras need a fresh redesign. They've basically looked the same for a decade. I hope you can get your hands on a Ram Power Wagon next.
How do you keep stones and rocks from kicking up and chipping the paint? Don’t you then have to pay to fix the chips before returning? That is all I wonder when you go on these test rides.
I know comparing a corvair pickup to the Toyota is like comparing apples and oranges, but the corvair engine is used in some planes, there is an electric corvair, and there is a corvair pickup that is amphibious(there is a video of the corvair riding in a lake), in a museum. I have yet to see a Toyota, or any pickup that is amphibious. The corvair may have a silly or sissy name, but it is my favorite vehicle with engine in the rear, but your review and testing of the Toyota was excellent.
I only watched this because you are Sarah and your videos are awesome. But I couldnt be less interested in a vehicle. At least I was entertained and I learned something. Great review as always. No brochure BS just honest Sarah speak
I would agree with your assessment but the transmission is still only a 6 speed with a few flaws, and to pull trailers it lags behind the RAM’s 8 speed and f150 10 speed by a large margin. So if you’re in the market for a Truck and your not pulling anything this is the truck for you.
When it came down to the numbers payload and towing the Tundra fell short badly. The payload a very low so I stepped up to a Ram 2500 Laramie 6.4 Hemi and this truck is awesome. Toyota do not offer options that are on my Ram 2500 Laramie! Oh 14K towing and 3000 in Payload.
Seat covers fix the leather. About to get my second Tundra. Going TRD Off Road to Pro. The 2012 has been rock solid reliable. Tows toys great. It does not drift like my manual Tacoma.
Hey Sarah...are you working on space x? Just watching the launch video and it looks like you working in the space suit design area!! Or I'm going crazy....

Count Drugula - In real offroad obstacles and situations? No way... The Gladiator Rubicon would stomp it. Look at the RTI ramp test results...Even a Taco with a $5,000 lift couldn’t beat a stock Gladiator Rubicon on the RTI ramp. The IFS kills the Taco’s performance.

That V8 sound... I love this car!

Thats my baby right there, best built 1500 on the market and I had and worked for all of them
I hope Toyota gets into the HD game.
If they made a vehicle comparable to my Suburban 2500 it'd be in my driveway.
@@hhiippiittyy doubt it. Its not a HD company. Be nice though

Toyota umbrella has the #1 most reliable and durable vehicle in the world!!
if you think about it, exhaust is just like speaker cabinet design. There is music to it.

You just convinced me that my next truck is a Toyota. Great job, no one does it better.
This is the best review i have ever seen
Love this truck , love you more. That was a great review , well presented, well filmed and the editing is professional 🙏🙏🏴
What’s up with all the rust under the truck in the first 1 1/2 minutes?
Tundras are very underrated...and, as a current owner, that is just fine with me. Thanks Sarah.
I live in Sierra Vista, where is this trail that you are testing the Tundra on? I just got myself a 2021 4runner limited nightshade and looking for a trail like the one you are driving on to burn some steam.
What is the conversion rate for Adult Chickens to Penguins? Love that truck! Thank you Sarah :)
About 0.14 penguin or 0.08 upside-down kangaroo per adult chicken.
Ask Faye !
At 4:44 Bless You Sarah 💖
"Next Gen Sneeze" Hahaha, so funny. Thanks for pointing that out I missed it at first.
I have previously asked you to take the off road test up Reddington Pass. Go for it.
I don’t want to accidentally get shot. Too many people up there randomly firing off without paying attention to what’s ahead of them.

Turn all the nannies off and turn tow haul on. Tundra people call it “beast mode”
That is correct...I have a 2020 PRO and if you turn on Tow Haul when not towing...holy #@%^!!
@@davidgarratt381 Really? What does it do or feel like?
@@buddybuck it supposedly raises shift points slightly and basically disables overdrive. its all mental....and before nutswinger says otherwise, i own a tundra.
Turning the nannies completely off is a 2 part process. But it does wake the truck completely up.
I call that button the ‘emergency gas tank evacuation button ‘
Science with Sarah -there's nothing better.

Cement gray. It hides scratches easier and looks evil.

On the fake hood vent, there is a light bar that fits on it. Giving it a cooler look.
The tires look too small. Can you fit 33s or 34s. Without any problems
Gotta watch until the very end, just like a Marvel movie. Sarah Ventura speaks to the animals.

it does not come with lane keep assist, it has only lane departure warning. it does how ever come with adaptive cruise control
Out standing review. Thank you.
Any idea when my Cybertruck will arrive in Scotland.... I wonder if I could fit a TRD V8 exhaust synth..
There was a truck in the video?

Great review as always. No brochure BS just honest Sarah speak
The only thing I know about pickup trucks is that they're used to haul stuff. I'm glad that Sarah explained what "TRD Pro" means.
That’s a bad ass truck!! I have a 2017 4x4 crew max and it’s a beast!! Great video ❤️❤️
You are so awkward!! Its hilarious. Thank you for this gold.
Loved your review 😍

can you do my oil change for me? I have to use a ladder to pour oil in for my 20 Trd Pro.
Another great Sarah off road video. Looked like a lot of fun!
hey sara I got a quick question what do you think TRD really stands for? Totally Rad Driving and then baha
Sarah makes me smile!
What do you mean when you say Baja capable truck?
Please u have to review a 2021 toyota sequoia TRD pro Luna Rock
Great video Sarah
I am so proud to Work at the Toyota TMMTX plant
I love me some Toyota!
I would like to get my hands on that !!

Look at the frame flex when it was given thy beans!
why is it rusty in the wheel wells already? or is that mud? sry I'm from Canada everything brown is rust to me LOL

Afternoon Sarah! I'd love to see you compare the 2020 Taco TRD head-to-head against the new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jeep. hahaha garbage.

Yes, the 2007-2017 JK Wranglers were junk, mainly from the POS 3.8L minivan motor they put in them...But the new 2018+ models with the 3.6L engine and 8-speed auto is a whole different ballgame.
I really like the Gladiator but I think the Tacoma would whip it's ass.
Count Drugula - In real offroad obstacles and situations? No way... The Gladiator Rubicon would stomp it. Look at the RTI ramp test results...Even a Taco with a $5,000 lift couldn’t beat a stock Gladiator Rubicon on the RTI ramp. The IFS kills the Taco’s performance.
