Does the NEW 2020 Toyota Tundra SR5 have ENOUGH changes?

- The 2020 Tundra is here and there have been some updates by Toyota. Under the hood is one engine option for the new year. It is the 5.7L V8 pumping out 381 HP & mated to a 6-speed gearbox. On the inside there are some wanted updates, finishes and there is the return of the crew cab. Did Toyota do enough to make you want to go out and buy the 2020 Tundra?

I buy toyota because of the bullet proof quality the bells and whistles dont matter too much to me as long as the vehicle out last the payments .
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
toyo 250 this exactly what matters. People forget that Toyota didn’t need bells and whistles because they didn’t go bottom up like their competitors did during the auto bell out! Those other trucks are showy but poor quality when it comes down to it! I know how to add my own bells and whistles if needed. What I want is a reliable truck that doesn’t break like Ford and Chevy did!
Scotty kilmer recommends the f150 over the tundra for reliability
This is why I’m looking at one. I’ve had my silverado loaded out for almost 6 years and looking at engine issues a couple months before it’s paid for. Everyone I know with a Toyota has no issues.
toyo 250
True, just like any truck that has been well maintained. But it will not pass a gas station like some of it's competitors. Lol
Got a 2011 tundra SR5 383,000 miles on it, overloaded daily with 12,000+ lbs trailer.... not a single problem yet. It's Bulletproof i see no reason to upgrade
royalmac1011 Chevy or dodge would’ve exploded way before even 100k miles
@@kevs2good133 lmao
how is your fuel millage when you are towing that trailer????
@@trevorryder5211 what fuel mileage?
James Mastroianni fuel per gallon when towing
You want a truck that will outlive you and last until
Your son is 60 you buy this truck!
Great review !
You are so very right Humberto.
Check out this one ...same Tundra but with a sport package! th-cam.com/video/WOVJ6Gr81nw/w-d-xo.html
Three years ago today! Still my 1st pickup.
I used to be a GM guy. Then l gave up on then. I bought a 2012 F-150, and l loved the truck. Not one single problem in the 6 years that l owned it. Due to circumstances, l had to sell it and reluctantly bought a 2012 Tacoma. My opinion of Toyota changed very quickly. If l was looking for a fullsize pickup again. I'd but a Tundra!!!!!!! Toyota Pickups don't seem to get the best mileage by a long shot. But the reliability is what l want, and I'm willing to give up some mileage to get it. Great Video!!!!
Ford is a great truck but if you need something that will outlive you buy a Toyota made truck ☺ 😊 💯
Joe I'm going to contact TH-cam and make them give you the hardest-working TH-camr award, cuz you're killing it man!

He makes so many videos that I am just about at the point I know what he is going to say before he says it, and what he is going to #Zonk. 🤣
You’ve got to be kidding me... this video was useless! It’s the same truck as the year before.. 😂

Great review. One thing I would like to point out is the basic SR5 doesn't have the center console/shifter or power driver's seat. You have to have at least the "SR5 upgrade package" for about $950 to get it. Well worth it in my opinion to get the power seat for those long trip adjustments so your back doesn't seize up. Just bought one yesterday and then watched this review, so I kind of did things in reverse order. I didn't know the rear window came down until I saw this, so I ran outside and tried it (my dog will love this), so you see how much research I did. But I didn't have to do too much. This is my second one. The first is a 2001 with 340K miles that my son has now. Best vehicle I ever owned. Never did anything but routine maintenance and changed out the front ball joints and a wheel bearing, just wear and tear stuff. Some of things I read were that the truck is outdated. I think Toyota is more concerned that oil doesn't leak all over your driveway in 10 years or your fuel pump doesn't crap out every 75K miles or your fancy valve lifter control system doesn't go haywire than chasing the latest "tech" trend. Had a great experience with my 2012 Camry (240K miles) as well. I'm sorry. I've had a Suburban, a Sierra and a Taurus. I've done my duty with two out of the big three.
Thanks for that info Allen!
Allen Bishop same here. My fords and gm’s are not even close on reliability. Will take that over gee wizzes shiny crap.
Never got to see the back seats 😁
Yeah, 🤔?
The camera crew got lost in the interior! :o
Actually there is "zero" competition if you want quality.
Very good point!
There is LED lighting on SR5. Has a one strip on the bottom of each headlight. 👍🏼
I bought a brand new 2013 4runner SR5 without leather and navigation and it is still going strong. It’s all paid for it. As long as you keep up with maintenance, oil change, etc. it will run forever. I love Toyota. I’m thinking about a new Tundra. Great review on this SR5. Beautiful classic black is my favorite color.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
Amazing awesome fricking review bro Joe LOL. I really do think that Toyota could have done much much better with this 2020 Toyota Tundra SR5. But Joe u know me, I love my Ford Pickups especially the Ford F-150 & Ford Super-Duty and so on so forth. Would love to see a 2020 Toyota Camry TRD, & a 2020 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO 1 day. Thanks Joe.
Do you even sleep my man😟. Appreciate all your hard work
JSR Forever Doing what, BULLSHITTING you??? He said at the beginning of the video Tundra changed some things for 2020. Same thing as a 2015. Yap, yap, yap, a big bullshit fluff video. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Always a good feeling watching a local TH-camr (driving roads are familiar!) Keep it up Joe!
Thanks! That really means a lot!
My dream car Thundra
InshAllah
One day I buy this car
**says the tundra has done 1 million miles before**
Me: Oh damn... I knew toyota was reliable but damn...
Check out this one ...same Tundra but with a sport package! th-cam.com/video/WOVJ6Gr81nw/w-d-xo.html
Have not done enough. I’m a fan of Toyota but disappointed in them with the age of the Tundra and 4Runner. I don’t expect great MPG out of a V8 but being dead last is not acceptable to me.
New redesign/engine redo INCOMMING soon ☺
White Fox yep, just anxious for Toyota to put some pep in their step in making it happen 😬
46K no way that should be around 36K
Steve austin we wish. That truck would be the king seller if they priced it that way
@@ghilliemanreviews You know that I have seen some of them go for 36-38K now. I almost purchased a TRD Sport double cab for 38295 but ended up buying the TRD PRO.
Steve austin you would spend much more on repairs per yr on a gm or ford. I know,been there.
@@samrumade9429 Yes I agree which is why I did not go that route. Even though the Tundra didn't get as good fuel mileage as Ford(The only other one I was looking at) it still beats them all in reliability and I hope mine doesn't dissapoint me....so far so good.
Pay at the pump or pay at the shop!
Toyota also seems to forget to update their cars. Theres the Sienna since 2011, the tundra since like 09 I think, the 4Runner, and also I think the highlander.
Toyota doesn't forget. It's intentional, because their customers are dummies and fall for marketing gimmicks. Toyota used the K platform for the Camry from 2002 up to 2017 Camry. They're STILL using the K platform for their 2020 Lexus RX. NX is still on the "New" MC platform that dates to the 2005 RAV4 which also dates to the 2001 Corolla. 2 decades on a platform. How smart can their customers be?
@@vegasmooch
Yeah. Everytime they reveal a new redesign I'm like, I bet that engine is from 2003. But their loyal customers always say.
"If it ain't broke, why fix it"
vegasmooch smart enough to know there cars won’t blow up in there face and why redesign when it works great
10 years from now the 2020 will still be on the road with great resale value more than any other half pick trucks
I love the look of the Tundra,has everything you need in a truck and its done right. its a toyota and that in itself is worth it, I'm looking to buy a pickup and this is my first choice, gonna see if i can get the price right that i can afford it, may have to go used but that's ok, or may go down to a tacoma either way I'm gonna do my best to get into a toyota
I can see how it needs a new gen, but for me, this is all I need.
I had a 2002 Tundra SR5 4x4 that I owned for 17 years and finally broke down and bought the '19 Limited CM 4x4 with the moon roof last December. Nothing wrong with that 2002, it drove like a champ but it did need a paint job from all those years baking in the SoCal sun. I just fell in love with the new Tundra when I saw it and had been saving for a new one all those years. That's the plus with a truck like this. You will have it a LOOOOOONG time after it's paid off; take advantage of that and save for the next one. By the time the truck dies, you should be able to afford another one easily as you didn't shell out money to keep it running all those years. I'll be retiring in a few years and buying a trailer for full time living (researching those now) and will do some traveling. Tundra should be perfect for hauling me around and providing the reliability I have always had with them. Been driving nothing but Toyota 4x4 trucks since 94 and all the doodads on the other brands don't sway me.
Toyo still selling 115K+ Tundras each yr. Refresh or no refresh, the sales numbers does not dip.
I have a 2015, solid build, no major issues, love the tundra
Thanks for sharing that input based off of your experience!
As long as the trucks continue to possess bullet proof reliability, I could care less about Toyota keeping up with the tech from Ford and GM etc. We want a pickup that is capable, let the big 3 chase the newest features but they’ll also have more recalls as a result. Yeah I know Toyota is slow to update but I’d rather that than to lose the reliability.
Toyota, the only truck that still looks like a truck for men and not a girly piece of mami truckie like ram, Chevy and ford
True that, I have a 2014 double cab sr5 and love it.
Rodriguez Argueta “truck for men” just sounds like an excuse for cheap, subpar materials and outdated technology. When your paying that much for a truck, that’s ridiculous.
You convince us to buy a billion different cars lol you’re the real MVP!
Thanks James! I promise you I want to take them all home with me!
Weren’t you supposed to show us the rear legroom 🤔
I have heard that SR5 Sports Package (20" wheels) is better on the highway than TRD Pro, the off-road variation with 18" wheels.
I think Toyota makes just enough changes each time to spark peoples interests in hopes that previous owners or new buyers will buy them.🤷🏻♂️ Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
L S Nice job at what exactly???? Bullshitting everybody for 15 mins. on that the new 2020 Tundra had changed???? Same thing as 2015
I've sold cars for the past 5 years and the Tundra has not "really" changed in more then a decade
AGREED!
If ain't Broke don't fix it. Reliability and Resale Value Trumps Everything Else.
@@theobservermelanin1746 that true the resale and reliability on those things are crazy, no one and I mean no even comes close
@Tony Brown
My truck is paid for 2007 with 139,000 miles. I have done some upgrades and believe me it was worth it.
@Tony Brown
But I don't care about the look as much as resale value and Reliability. See looks can be deceiving , especially when you go over 200k miles. The Tundra has been perfected. Toyota is changing the Look in 1 or 2 yrs from now. At least that's what I have been hearing.
Only drawback on my Tundra is the contour of the seating as well as my Toyota 2010 Toyota Avalon
The seat is very uncomfortable ...but I still wouldn't trade off for anything else.
Thanks for sharing that great input!
I have the 2020 tundra with the column shift. Just love it. The 5.7 engine is a beast.
I had a f150
Had to sell it .it wouldn't pull 5th wheel camper. Went to buy a camper they all said same thing need a bigger truck. Tundra answered that call. Came back with the tundra. Had no problem buying a 5th wheel. Before no one wanted to sell us a 5th wheel.
Hey joe, you’re the best. Enjoy your videos.
In the half ton segment isn’t it HALF TON of competition!
Thanks for your support John and your kind words. I tripped over my thoughts. You are so very right.
I definitely want one. I’m curious what they do to the redesign next year. I heard they made a claim that it’ll get 30mpg. I’m more of a V8 guy but if they actually make a hybrid tundra that gets that good of mpg, I’d be willing to give it a shot. If anyone can do it, Toyota could.
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
2020 tundra didnt empress me because I thought Tundra was going to beat the Ram 1500 Diesel towing of 12k, plus its still a gas hog.. very poor.. looks like Toyota made the tundra as an Nike product, meaning its just bragging rights to own one. wonder why Toyota is except from the 20 mpg for USA auto & trucks by 2020 thats what I read years ago thats why American auto companies bringing back the diesel engines....really want to buy a Tundra but I dont want to go poor at the gas pump..
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I love the serenades. Interesting, Demo.
Thanks man!
Can’t wait to see you to review 2021 Tundra, Sienna and Sequoia. They are some already at Chicago Auto Show. Thank you in advance!
Thanks John! Stay tuned!
From a 2016 SR5 owner:
Headlights, grill, instrument panel, that is all
(wipes sweat from forehead)
You are spot on.
6-speed automatic...especially on a huge gas hogging vehicle like this is simply not acceptable in 2020.
Big change is coming. The powertrain from the big Lexus sedan is going in the Tundra. MPG should be much better in the new Tundra. There will be a little more HP, but a lot more torque.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q I'm waiting on the new Tundra. The current tundra is very reliable but way too thirsty and outdated.
Toyota stingy on their cars! The interior always cheap compared with other manufacturers; tiers always slimmer and smaller than Chevy and Ford trucks. The only thing I like it's reliable cars!
Saif BT If it ain’t broke, don’t change it.
I just bought a new tundra because it’s tried and true. What’s NOT acceptable to me is burning oil. Engine knocks. Transmission problems like you hear about regularly with the other trucks. To me in 2020. That’s what’s unacceptable when spending big bucks on a truck.
just priced up f150 and tundra today, the tundra is still more competitive in pricing, which i find hard to believe. i got my 2015 3k less than a comparably equipped f150 even with the family pricing at that time of year.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
It’s an insult to our intelligence for Toyota to run this model out again and call it a 2020. Nice review once again Joe.
I totally agree with you! You are so very welcome!
Just bought a 2020 tundra sr5 SX. Love it. The power is incredible
Brought back the crew cab? I didn’t know they got rid of the crew cab
I know right?
Jim Xiong What the fuck? Crewmax option has always been around.
In the base trim it was gone for a while
James Mastroianni False. Always been around.
@@henryscreations the crewmax was not available in the sr trim until 2020
I have 2011 Tacoma no problem from purchase and paid off love it and Tundra will be my next
That is really awesome!
What happened to the backseat review of this truck.. it didn't make it into the video?
Im in the Market this week . this is first review I watched ! Im almost sold! I want to check MSRP on the high end trim package. what is the package? did you say TRD? I live by Larry Miller Toyota! can Wesley Chapel ship one up to me cheaper than the local dealership? they actually got looted I think last week! might have to go other place!
This is an SR5 trim (toward the bottom end) the higher end would be the 1794 edition or the famous TRD line. That's where you'll reach north of 50k.
was there an editing error , no rear seat evaluation shown?
The footage got corrupted; Sorry about that!
@@RaitisRides ZONK!!!....lol,,,,,you gotta make a zonk compilation of short zonks
2021 Toyota Tundra all new redesign inside and out, Gen 4 Tundra!
I can't wait Michael!
People like to complain of the Tundra mpg. But if you look at all the other 1/2 ton trucks with v8s their all in the 15/20 mpg ballpark. So 13/17 isn’t that bad. Plus you get the bulletproof 5.7 engine and Toyota quality. The Tundra is solid and looks the best still. Then it destroys the other trucks with towing capacity. It’s a hard choice for me between the Tacoma and Tundra.
Can you put that Android Auto / Apple CarPlay radio into a 2018 or 2019 Tundra?
Reliability is great hut how about make your purchase worth every cent. Toyota is stuck in 2010.
Sure, but only if I could afford it. I was actually in my buddy's 2018 Tundra last night. Amazing how nice they truly are. #Bulletproof
They are. Until you ride in a Silverado, Ram or F-150. Then you see how dated it is...don’t get me wrong. It’s nice. But it is lacking..ride quality is pretty good though...just needs redesign bad....
@@semiauto3148 Exactly. I use to own a Tundra Rock Warrior and sold it a few years ago. Got the truck itch a year later and went truck shopping. I was surprised at how much I disliked the Tundra after driving the other competition. The only thing I miss is the roll down rear window the Tundra crewmax has that its competitors doesn't.
mrjjthor Thor that is a cool option...I liked it also. But it wasn’t enough for me. I just bought a 19 Chevy. Love it. Tundra was nice riding and way better than the 15 I drove..but still lacking in the tech stuff like then Chevy Ford And Ram have..but in the end I’m sure it’s a more dependable truck. Oh well. They are all nice. Just buy the one you like the best
I don't know what everybody's gripe is about gas mileage remember back in the day when we used to have 454s and 490s in Fords and Chevys and Dodges and they had power up the Wazoo a course they were gas guzzlers well that's what the 5.7 liter is on the tundra I've got a 2014 and I've got the big 5.7 l so it sucks a little gas I don't give a crap because when I bought a big truck I knew I had a truck with lots of pull power and horse power part of that trade-off was losing gas mileage if you can't afford it don't buy a truck that's how it works also for everybody that b**** and sniffles and complains about the ride Comfort who gives a crap it's a truck for God's sakes my dad has GMCs I've had Ford's in the past and they all ride kind of rough that's a truck that's what trucks do everybody's gotten all wussy and seems to want to be able to have a truck that rides like a Cadillac if you want to ride like a Cadillac by a Cadillac trucks are big and powerful and in turn you sacrifice some softness in the ride. By the way I love my Tundra and I would gladly buy another one if it's necessary to do so I will never own another Ford or a GM product ever. Oh and one more thing my dad rode in my Tundra and feels that it's a much smoother ride than his GMC so go from there folks seems to be a lot of trolls that come on this site looking to start crap or they work for the competitors or they just flat-out hate Tundras and are all for the other brands quit trying to sway potential buyers from buying a good quality product let them make the choice stop tainting them with your false and disinformation
I love my Tundras and yes it's a truck,not a Cadillac lol I loved my dad's GMC but it was also a 73,rode better then today's junk GMC/CHEVYS lol 😆👍😊...
Please do a review on the 1794 edition tundra
The 1794 fixes most of the zonks you have for the tundra
I will do!
I can't wait to review one!
Excellent review and great job. Very informative and very appreciated! Thanks.
Love the v8 and the size of the interior. I wish they made it with a front bench seat. I like the cup holder in the center console that can make it a 6 passenger. Just personal preference. Gotta love the reliability.
This is so very true!
It’s so reliable it’s worth getting and just upgrading when the refresh comes out.
This is ridiculous Toyota. This truck is a dinosaur.
AGREED!
Still the best truck on the road
Waiting on the 2021 model.
I'd like for them to bring back the driver side pillar grab handle. Is that asking too much? I hate grabbing the steering wheel to get into the driver seat.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective on this one! I appreciate you watching!
After owning 2 GM 1500 trucks and neither of them making it to 150k I had to go back to Toyota. I love my 2019 Tundra TRD Sport double cab 5.7. Yes the GM trucks look nice but they are not built well. The problem is most people miss the fact that reliability is the most important factor over everything else when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. My money is on Toyota !
Not a bad truck but not worth the price
roxbery25 it is actually.
$45k MSRP for a crewmax, 4x4, trd off-road package, and sr5 upgrade package ain’t bad at all. And your getting a solid truck. Dodge, Ford, and Chevy passed $50k for similar equipped trucks. Toyota wins again.
I am going to pick up my Tundra 2021 SR5 tomorrow.
That is so awesome!
How much u payed
Still needs alot of updates i would get if they just update
AGREED!
greg davis Wait that bullshitter said there was updates for 2020. Yap, yap, yap, a big bullshit fluff video. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
1:26 Your making false statements! The Crewmax has always been an available option on SR5 and higher trims.
Thanks for your extra info.
Raiti's Rides I would apologize to the viewers who you have misinformed and make changes.
@11:08 you skipped from the driver seat segment to the driving segment. I guess in the edit you forgot to add the rear passenger seating segment. Just a heads up.
Thanks Noel! Some of the footage was corrupted! Sorry about that! I will have another 2020 Toyota Review for you!
I love Toyotas, I am a retired mechanic and I believe they are hands down the most reliable cars and trucks available. I want to buy a Tundra but I cannot get past the Horrible MPG. At least Toyota properly tests their vehicles before bringing them to market and I have to believe there is a new Tundra engine and transmission coming but I am loosing patience.
2007 is calling and it wants its truck back.
You freaking cracked me up!
I like toyota. Never had an issue. Why does the tundra have the same payload as the tacoma? Would be nice to put a good slide in camper in a dependable truck.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
$46k and not push to start? Wack
I feel your pain Kyle!
17mpg is unacceptable for a 2020 model year heavy half truck. Yes, I feel it IS THEE BEST VALUE in trucks, but that mileage is a killer for me. I'll wait yet another year to see if they don't sweeten the pot for the 2021. If I did jump into the market, I'd simply get a lightly used '14//'15 and call it good.
Make a choice Tundra- F150 - Dodge Ram 1500 - Chevrolet Silverado ? Which one in the best for u honestly
I worked for Lexus for 15 years, Toyota knows how to build updated trucks
One thing I don’t like about the tundra is the crew cab looks gigantic compared to the bed. It’s so big it makes the bed look like a 4 ft bed 😂
That's because it's a crew max so it has a 5.5 foot bed, I have the double cab and it has a 6.5 foot bed
No, GM isn’t running the 10 spd in all their trucks, the 6.6 gas is still running the old 6 spd for 2020.
Randy Carlisle 10 speed for 2021 and all new interior with bigger infotainment screen.
As long as toyota maintains its tradition of reliability and good quality I dont mind.
For 2021 seats you get graphite seats or vinyl seats. Which one will last longer and is most durable?
Did you intentionally left out the review of back seats?
That was my mess up. Sorry about that George.
How come toyota doesn't make bigger trucks to compete with others? The tundra may tow a few thousand pounds to the tacoma but the payload is like 200 pound difference. If they made say like a tundra 3500 to put a slide in camper in I would get it.
The back seats should go down flat too like the Ram does. Since they dont you loose some waisted space.
I would write to Toyota to make suggestions but dont know who to contact.
So Mr Raiti,,, out of all the 1/2 ton trucks you’ve reviewed... which one would you purchase if you was buying 1 tomorrow? And don’t cop out. True answer please !
I love mine! Only complaint so far is the lack of paint. So freakin thin.
9:44 he says both the passenger and driver has power seating but as the camera pans down you see the passenger has manual controls on the seat
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I wish they still had the 4.6. I also wish you could build a regular cab on line with the 4.6 4x4 with sr5 package. You also forgot the lowest crash rating. I loved my tundra. Wanted to get the regular cab before the new one comes out.
I totally agree with you!
Great review!!
Man brotha love ur videos! U got a new subscriber 💯

I have never understood why Toyota doesn’t bring Lexus into the truck arena just for Toyota when Lexus is the only automotive industry to invest over a billion dollars on customer comfort... Toyota would be very smart to start incorporating Lexus in the Toyota trucks.
I totally agree with you!
Joe, I heard it takes a lot of effort to edit videos, and you just keep on spitting out videos, you really are the hardest working man I know. Keep up the amazing work!❤❤❤
But really, slow down, you're going to run out of cars at the rate your going. Give yourself a break
Nice Truck and likely dependable but they can do a bit better than 17 mpg maybe add remote start for those cold mornings or hot days where you could remotely roll down that back window to get the heat out of the interior also for a 2020 it should have L.E.D headlights
Toyota if you’re listening please bring back the column shifter in the Tundra because it’s way better than the Floor mounted shifter
The most awaited review for me.... Will this be my daily driver - Oh yes!!! Until I heard you quietly saying on the mileage economy 😒 Thanks for the great reviews always.
I just bought one and milk it, I get 17-18 MPG on the back roads!
Seems like reliability takes a back seat to tech and sumptuous interiors these days.Toyota is tops in reliability,although dated like the 4 Runner.I guess it’s nice to sit in an upscale interior pickup in comfort while you’re waiting for the tow truck on the interstate.
Thanks for sharing that great input and perspective Brian!
I'm a huge fan of the Tundra Crewmax, but in no way is that SR5 $46k + dealer markup. $39k - $42k is reasonable for this one. $46k is more of the SR5 TRD Sport territory with the bilstein shocks, sway bars, LED headlights, matching color bumper and grill amongst other features.
Great truck but not $46,000 worth. How do people afford these crazy expensive trucks these days? Oh yeah, debt.
46k for a 2019 truck is ACTUALY really cheap compared to Ford/Chevrolet
@Brian Waller That's why I buy used bud 🤷♂️
Just buy it used!
The classic joystick I’ve been trying but even used, they’re expensive. When you really think about the age and mileage, it is better to buy new, which I can’t afford in the first place.
Isn't the base model tundra sr only 33k?
Well the guy missed several key factors with the new design like no more antenna on the fender and it's nice to see the leather seats
Toyota has rested on their laurels with their pickup truck. Fuel economy is not keeping up with their competition at all. Even with the 6 speed, the highway mpg (in top gear) should be very similar to the competition and it's not. Toyota can do it. So, why don't they? Some poor management here on the Tundra.
4.30 rear end, heavier truck (no aluminum body or bed) and no engine start/stop or cylinder deactivation mean the same mpg since 2007 (disable AFM/DFM on a silverado with the 5.3l and you'll see similar mpg to the Tundra).
Very good points!
You really hit the nail on the head!
@@cnoyes72 Hard to believe that is the full story. Toyota rates the Tundra at 13/18/15. The 4 mpg (city) and 5 mpg (highway) off of the GMC Sierra's figures. Just looking at top gear fuel economy, 500lbs or so, axle ratio, and DFM can't (at least it seems like an amazing feat) account for 5 mpg difference. That's a heckuva difference. When I first saw the start/stop systems on cars, the EPA numbers for city didn't change from one year to the next (the example I'm using is a Chevy Impala with 4 cylinder). I would imagine that the DFM systems have been improved, but when they first came out there was an indication on the dash when they were in use and in TH-cam video at that time, the deactivation was for very short periods of time only. The other interesting thing I've noticed is that in the car lines, Toyota seems to be very capable of achieving high mpg numbers with it's V6 with no cylinder deactivation and no aluminum body. Since, the overall ratio in top gear from the 6 to 8 speed doesn't usually change much, they improved the highway mpg number by other means. They could do better without the fancy DFM and start / stop system is what I'm getting at. I don't know that once a vehicle is under way, if the horsepower required to keep moving differs much for 500 lbs weight?
@@ksorsomeplace People are buying kits that permanently disable AFM/DFM. I also take those MPG figures from the companies with a huge grain of salt. More importantly, I really don't care about fuel efficiency (if I did, I wouldn't have a full sized truck with a v8).
Crazy to me they even make cars without LEDs. Or without all the safety options you can Possibly get. I can understand the interior being a little less fancy at a lower trim, but the fact manufacturers make money off things that should be standard truly grinds my gears
The redesign of the Tundra is coming for 2022 and will have the changes and updates.
@@RaitisRides one can only hope. Do you think the price of the previous gen tundras will drop due to the overdue remodel? Or do you think they will rise because the v8 will for sure be more reliable than any turboed motor
What happened to rear seats test? You mentioned that and then skipped straight to driving test?
