100%, I love this channel. Kai is spectacularly spot, every episode. I wish him the best, hope he blows up. And never changes his focus....one of three truck channels worth watching

As someone who did use a full size truck for quite a while for some pretty hard-core off road adventures, it is an exercise in masochism. With a real short chassis version it isn't too bad, but you are still wide enough where everything is a tight squeeze, turning radius sucks so every tight bend is a 3 point turn, breakover angle means a lot of rocks and drop ins are anxiety inducing. About the only place they really do well is out in wide open spaces at speed where the increased dimensions and weight improve stability. I went to the darkside recently and got a 2 door jeep, and all these places around home that were always anxiety inducing, needing to think thin just to squeeze between two trees, not drag my gastank on a rock, and the like, are now a breeze, easy, relaxing even. I've learned my lesson, and I kind of feel like toyota has as well, and chosen to focus on what that full size truck is going to be doing 95% of the time, vs trying to optimize what it will be doing that other 5%.
Manufacturers should take note of the quality of this video and the relevance of the information presented. Treating us like educated buyers enstills loyalty. Great job on the layout and structure of as well.
I would love to see a comparison of the different TNGAF platforms (tundra, sequoia, lx600). As a land cruiser guy I kinda feel like the 300 series is not really the major upgrade in durability that it used to be in the older generations and would be interested to see if there is still a difference.
Please compare the LX570 to the LX600. I love this detailed content and am tired of other TH-camrs making blank statements without providing detailed evidence.
Great video!. I own a 2021 tundra Trd pro and I bought it because I didn’t want the new truck I think it’s ugly and I wanted a V-8. For me this is the best truck ever made and I hope I have it forever because it’s just that good.
Just got longtube headers / straight piped to dirty deeds exhaust on my 2016. I highly recommend longtube headers. The sound & performance is sooo worth it and I’m still untuned
This has gotta be one of the best breakdown and comparison videos I've ever seen. Debating between IFS 2500hd Chevy and solid axle Ram/Ford brought me here. Even though they're completely different vehicle markets, the info was exactly what I was looking for.
As always an awesome well thought out and enlightening video. I really appreciate your technical analysis of things and not relying on gut feeling or subjective values only. Looking forward to the next video!
I have never watched a whole video on vehicle parts technicalities without being bored and clicking on to the next video. But on this one, I has my eyes glued on the screen. Very interesting and informative video dude.
I own a 2nd gen 2wd tundra and I’m truly impressed of the places that truck can go ! It off-roads real well, I do have a lifted jeep for the other harder stuff .
Just happened upon your channel looking at AT tires. While I'm not specifically looking for all the info you have here on your channel, I've watched a few of your videos simply because they're informative, well thought-out, and I love the scientific perspective you take. Very cool!
I am a Jeep Wrangler guy but I love your channel. So much information that is useful to all vehicle owners. Of course, I am a subscriber. I look forward to your next adventure.
Very good explanation and for me further brings home why I wanted this 3rd Gen Tundra, selling my 2 Gen. I wanted ride quality! Yes I need Truck like features for Hauling dirt bikes and towing my Travel Tailer. I do my off road’ing on my YZF250! But when I am on a wide open fire road…. Let’s have some fun!
The content on this channel is highly factual and objective, which is saying a lot for a TH-cam channel. I love your content. Please keep it up. And I'd love to see a video with your thoughts about the LC 200 vs LX 570 suspension setups for off road use. Cheers!
@@flight2k5 I thought the same way but realize how wrong I was because besides price my 24 Terra Pro is hands down nicer/fun to drive than my previous 2016 (modded) Platinum
As a Gen.2 owner I end up at some very different conclusions, mostly spinning all around the notion we once again being sold less for more, but I have liked the video and the course of thinking. And yeah, I am the guy who needs the stuff they took away to give us what most people want.
Thank you for your support! I haven't really looked into much aftermarket options for the new Tundra. But from what I saw on the press vehicle, designing something that bolts to the swaybar bushing mount is probably the best bet.
This is excellent content. I’ve been wheeling and talking about Tundras for ten years (even started an event dedicated to the called Tundras to Sedona), and this was a great watch. Educational with clear distinction in the varied purposes people build Tundras for. I’m in the more hardcore side myself, but we welcome every kind of off road build at the event. Even stock.🤘
Great vid! On my 2nd gen, I ran a king 2.5 with the no swaybar setup over 2 years for maximum travel. Recently I had to buy all of the accessories and reinstall a TRD sport front swaybar to improve my towing and onroad handing. Hate to say this but I’m loving the truck more than ever. I still hit some trails some time but size and break over is mostly my limiting factor over suspension travel. I think Toyota did a right thing here on the 3rd gen.
Agree ! Absolutely knocked it outta the park with new Pro ..more goodies than my 2nd gen Platinum and more nimble. Turning radius is worse but not a huge factor for my use. Loved my 2nd gen but this is better and (for now anyway) don't even miss the 5.7
Great info. I like the engineering spin you have in your videos. Having wheeled a modified 2nd gen and a stock 2.5 gen they are no slouches offroad. Cheers
Thanks for making this video Kai. As a Tundra owner, I've been waiting for this one! Keep up the great work, truly one of the best channels out there for off-road enthusiasts to learn about their vehicles.
Another great video as always Kai! surprised you didn't flex the 3rd gen Tundra w/o the front sway connected, just to capture the difference in travel 🤔
It would be interesting if you could do do a deep dive on disconnecting sway bar links, what are the pros/cons, when it makes sense, why they are not common etc. It seems most IFS offroad vehicles would benefit from a very beefy sway bar for road use and then disconnect it for everything offroad.
I think this design decision makes sense for the Tundra. However, will it influence the Tacoma, new Land Cruiser, and future 4Runner in the same way? Those models need to be more focused to slow speed, technical trail which demand maximum articulation.
Another winner by Kai … nice work, sir! I don’t even own a Tundra and likely won’t, but the principles here are super valuable to anyone wanting to understand the dynamics of IFS trucks. Yep, I think this video is even useful for understanding other vehicles, like the Tacoma, Bronco, Frontier, and so on … 👏👏👏
Thank you for the Tudra content. I have a 3rd generation sr5 off road long wheel base and use it primarily on raods and back woods trails. I really enjoy the ride quality of it.
As a second gen owner I really enjoyed this video. Even if I wasn’t an owner though I would still watch because the insight and comparison information you offer is unmatched on TH-cam. Great work!
Coil springs will typically flex better than leafs due to the leafs natural resistance to twist. It’s one reason why many leaf sprung vehicles don’t have a sway bar while. Coil springs are heavily dependent on the link and bushing setup, which can obviously vary significantly and greatly impact your perceived results.
Im like your buddy Josh and sitting on 37s currently on my 2nd gen. Though I think Im going to end up like James since most of my "wheeling" is gravel roads and I more prefer the Tundra to be a pack mule and carry all my camping gear up the mountain on the groomed gravel road to a lookout somewhere overlooking a Vally. Currently if I see a rock garden I tend to avoid it because I dont want to risk damage due to a very heavy vehicle trying to get max articulation just for some bragging rights. Just not worth it to me.
I'd like to add a point to the 2ed gen swaybar, I added one to the rear of my 2012 and it made a big difference with pulling a trailer as well as normal road handling. Yes I noticed the difference in suspension travel offroad but the trade off was well worth it to me.
I love your detailed comparisons. When I saw the press events for the 4thG Taco/6thG 4runner yours was the first channel I looked for before anyone else. Can't wait to see your analysis, if you do one. Some of the components on the new Tundra are surprisingly tiny. The rear lower arms are tiny in diameter compared to my Gladiator's arms, or for that manner my JKS arms on my TJ/LJ. I wonder what the wall thickness is of the tube?
Love the video. One point of feedback regarding handling, it is good to differentiate between "on-road and off-road handling" people look for the best handling for their planned use of their truck. Simply mentioning "handling" does not automatically indicate if you are refering to on or off road. Just some friendly feedback.
Excellent review! I loved the cross examination you did. I'm really curious if you could do one with sways bars removed front, back and every which way to compare both trucks in every sway bar configuration. Love the channel!
ive been watching your videos like crazy trying to learn a lot about IFS. I don't have a Toyota personally but I have a new 24 bronco. I wish there was a channel like yours but for the broncos IFS. im sure somethings are transferable but id love if you could do some tests and tips on how to get more articulation out of the bronco with 35s and 37s! maybe a friend of yours has one???
Dan Edmunds at Car and Driver did suspension articulation test and the old LC200 beat everything from Gladiators, Colorado ZR2, Bronco, RAM TRX, 2nd, 3rd gen Ford Raptor etc. I wonder how the LC300 and the LC250 perform. We know that the new TNGA-F has a more "straighter" inboard suspension compared to /\ of the older Toyota truck as you mentioned. Also I believe the engine now sits lower to reduce center of mass, I wonder how these two combined will affect suspension articulation
Great video as usual. I know a lot of guys get caught up in their Toyota fandom and want to see one Toyota tested versus another but the fact is the big three outsell Toyota in the full size truck game anywhere from 5 or 8 to 1 depending on the brand and the year. Ford has their FX4 package as well as their Tremor in addition to the Raptor for the F150. Chevy has the Z71 and the Trail Boss as well as the ZR2 in the Silverado and Ram has the Rebel and the TRX in the 1500 and the Power Wagon in the 2500. It would actually be more interesting and more telling to see how similar off road packages from other makes compare. It would also give some insight as to why Toyota chose to go the way they did with the new Tundra. After all, if the F-150 Tremor and FX4 don't do anything the SR5 won't do then obviously off road prowess isn't most buyers main concern when choosing their new truck. We know it's not but number often prove reality to those who can't see it for themselves. By the way, you can option a rear locker on any 4x4 F-150 equipped with any engine other than the 3.5 naturally aspirated version. And that is more valuable far more often than a inch or two of travel. Anyway, comparing competing brands off road package numbers would make for a great video or series if you can get your hands on the competition.
Wow, thank you so much for this in depth video. Looking forward to the next. I hope you do a similar series with the new Tacoma! Also, maybe one for the new Land Cruiser!!
Great video bud. In Montana I see people towing more in general. Maybe toyota factored this in for the new tundra. Also you rarely see any (NEW) trucks up on the mountain road in the back country!
This channel is criminally underrated. The content is so detailed and informative.
It’s shocking!!
100%, I love this channel. Kai is spectacularly spot, every episode. I wish him the best, hope he blows up. And never changes his focus....one of three truck channels worth watching
Excellent presentation 🧐👍
Agreed 👍
Every day I wake up waiting for a Tinkerer's Adventure video. Despite not owning a toyota 4x4.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support!

As someone who did use a full size truck for quite a while for some pretty hard-core off road adventures, it is an exercise in masochism. With a real short chassis version it isn't too bad, but you are still wide enough where everything is a tight squeeze, turning radius sucks so every tight bend is a 3 point turn, breakover angle means a lot of rocks and drop ins are anxiety inducing. About the only place they really do well is out in wide open spaces at speed where the increased dimensions and weight improve stability. I went to the darkside recently and got a 2 door jeep, and all these places around home that were always anxiety inducing, needing to think thin just to squeeze between two trees, not drag my gastank on a rock, and the like, are now a breeze, easy, relaxing even. I've learned my lesson, and I kind of feel like toyota has as well, and chosen to focus on what that full size truck is going to be doing 95% of the time, vs trying to optimize what it will be doing that other 5%.
The analysis and rigor is unmatched anywhere. This is THE source for my Tundra info!
The only channel I turn on notifications for.
Manufacturers should take note of the quality of this video and the relevance of the information presented. Treating us like educated buyers enstills loyalty. Great job on the layout and structure of as well.
As a 2nd gen Tundra owner who does off road his Tundra, I fully approve this video 😃
We 100% need the same kind of video for the 2nd and 3rd gen Sequoia, especially since they went from an independent rear suspension to the solid axle!
This should be higher! It will give us a big insight in full independent suspension total articulation.
I would love to see a comparison of the different TNGAF platforms (tundra, sequoia, lx600). As a land cruiser guy I kinda feel like the 300 series is not really the major upgrade in durability that it used to be in the older generations and would be interested to see if there is still a difference.
Please compare the LX570 to the LX600. I love this detailed content and am tired of other TH-camrs making blank statements without providing detailed evidence.
I have a 2019 Tundra, love it. I drove 4 of the new Tundras. I wouldn't trade mine in for one.
Great video!. I own a 2021 tundra Trd pro and I bought it because I didn’t want the new truck I think it’s ugly and I wanted a V-8. For me this is the best truck ever made and I hope I have it forever because it’s just that good.
Just got longtube headers / straight piped to dirty deeds exhaust on my 2016. I highly recommend longtube headers. The sound & performance is sooo worth it and I’m still untuned
Now I want to see a comparison of the 2nd Gen and 1st Gen tundra (double Cab)
Awesome stuff. Can't wait for your technical videos about the 4th Gen Tacoma!
This has gotta be one of the best breakdown and comparison videos I've ever seen. Debating between IFS 2500hd Chevy and solid axle Ram/Ford brought me here. Even though they're completely different vehicle markets, the info was exactly what I was looking for.

Great video! I’m falling in love with my 2nd gen more and more every day.
It’s so nice to see all support from this community. Nerdy but solid research as always, great work!!!
Kai, your videos are always my favorite! I always learn something, thank you! Can’t wait to see you get your hands on the Tacoma and Land Cruiser!
Thank you man. Same to you!
most of your technical explanation went over my head but the comparison between your two friends made it all clear and everything made sense.
As always an awesome well thought out and enlightening video. I really appreciate your technical analysis of things and not relying on gut feeling or subjective values only. Looking forward to the next video!
Totally agree. I would like to add the presentation and video production quality is fantastic! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Just commenting so your videos get more views and attention more people need to see them! Excellent quality explanation and demonstrations
Getting trucks down the trails at Aoaa and Rausch are tough…
Very thorough and informative. Great video!
Awesome content as always!
The current TRD Pro stabi-bar is just a stop-gap until the refresh, when E-KDSS will be adopted.
If you are taking one of these behemots offroad suspension travel is the least of your worries.. most trails won't even be wide enough
Wheel base is to long and fuel consumption to large also….
Exactly why I bought a 3rd gen 4Runner, and I save the Tundra for towing.
True, 4runner and Tacoma are better for tight situations, buuuuuuut I still bought a 2016 Tundra😁
Actually really depends on where you wheel. most of the trails here isn’t bad. Just need to stop worrying about your paint. And that goes for any rig.
@@4WDisLifeThis is accurate. I've seen your videos - you demonstrate it.
Awesome technical content as usual. Keep up the great work.
Man , as a fellow engineer I love watching your breakdowns and explanations! great work!
Your channel is a gem. Keep it up!
I may not have a toyota but i love the fact your in PA, and the info from your videos is helpful for my application.
I would love to see the TRD OffRoad added to this lineup. Or did they do the same 'oem upgrades' to the O.R. ?

Can you do another video on this but with the factory TRD 3in lifted Tundra?
Now I really wanna see a 4 door bronco on the CTI test to see how it stacks up with the competition
Solid Axel for the win again. Toyota is finally giving you the rear suspension Jeep did 20 Years ago.
You're the man, Kai! Thank you breaking it all down, as always.
I'd like to add a point to the 2ed gen swaybar, I added one to the rear of my 2012 and it made a big difference with pulling a trailer as well as normal road handling. Yes I noticed the difference in suspension travel offroad but the trade off was well worth it to me.
This channel is proof that the yt algorithm does not recognize intelligent videos. This is crazy good content.
Great and informative on the Tundra, but when are you doing the 200? There's a lot of similarities between the both 2nd and 3rd gen Tundra.
I love your detailed comparisons. When I saw the press events for the 4thG Taco/6thG 4runner yours was the first channel I looked for before anyone else. Can't wait to see your analysis, if you do one.
Some of the components on the new Tundra are surprisingly tiny. The rear lower arms are tiny in diameter compared to my Gladiator's arms, or for that manner my JKS arms on my TJ/LJ. I wonder what the wall thickness is of the tube?
We need to see more of Joshs tundra

Congrats to you and you team, awesome explanation in regards to old gen vs new gen.
Man you make the best technical videos clear and cocise!!!
Some quick disconnects could fix the sway bar issue
I’d be really curious how much articulation you get out of a 3rd gen with a sway bar delete
I wish I could do that man. I tried asking for permission. Next time with someone else’s truck!
@TinkerersAdventure where do you live? I have a 3rd gen trd off road limited but im in oregon.
@@TinkerersAdventure I have a 2024 Tundra TRD Pro and removed the sway bar. It’s a totally different truck. So much better. I live in socal.
