You'll love it. I'm in love with my Sequoia. Just get your gears changed for the tire size. Not cheap but it makes all the difference in mpg. Also saves wear and tear on the transmission while helping maintain horsepower to the wheels.
@@AmericanMan961 I disagree. I have a 2019 5.0 and its burning oil like crazy. Around 2.5 quarts per 5000 miles and it has around 14,000 miles on the truck. Terrible quality
@@AmericanMan961 buddy just look it up. Look at every Ford forum regarding the 2018-2020 5.0. There is a TSB issued by ford AND a class action against Ford for 5.0 engines burning oil.
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!
Congratulations on the new pick up! I hope it hauls you around safely for many years. Not super charge, it is a continuous drain on efficiency to turn, decreasing mpg. Turbo with intercooler, performance on demand, normal fuel economy. Great show 👍
if you install a rack on the bed you could install a storage box for your kodiak . water proof, shock proof, power strip, locking security door and above the 12v to 12ov inverter in the truck bed.. you can charge it while you drive.
Nice truck. We have an 18 year old Tacoma. We bought it new and it just keeps on running and it still looks brand new. It gets horrible gas mileage, but it has never had anything wrong with it in all these years. We of course have another vehicle as well that gets great gas mileage. It is nice to have a truck, even a little one, they are just so useful.
Sweet ride Nate. If you have the space and budget I would highly recommend 2 mods; 1-onboard air compressor (100% duty cycle, no cheap crap) with 2 gallon air tank. 2-Power inverter of 2000 watts that can run most power tools etc. I have the swing case and steps, good add-ons!
Upgrades! The military use green for a reason, it is none reflective!p, so it does not give away your position from distance! Does the truck shut down 4 cylinders when at High way speeds, to save on gas and extend your range!
You dont need a super charger. You want your truck to be reliable and as stock as possible. Add a cold air intake, and get a programming chip and aftermarket exhaust. Your good to go.
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.
Welcome up to the full size truck world. That child seat is reason enough. They don’t grow smaller. You’ll be happy with the extra room, plus the bigger is better with the outside lifestyle. 👍🏽
Hey Canadian, if you want an electric truck ... check out the Rivian R1T. It's already in production REALLY nice vehicle from what I've been able to see. 750 HP equivalence.
No you shouldn’t even consider supercharging it unless you come across some vital task it can’t do in its current form, that it could do if it were supercharged. Not likely that will happen.
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 .

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.
You ABSOLUTELY should SUPERCHARGE that beast! I have an idea for the small spaces under the diamondback tonneau cover. When you said you would maybe use metal. I thought if it was possible to hold them in using magnets 🧲, that would be cool. Not sure if it is possible though. Also, the solar panels on the roof is an interesting idea. If you want panels, maybe make them so they are rolled up until you deploy them. (Kinda like a window shade, but with some sort of frame that keeps them open to the sun.) It would be cool to have the option of using the rooftop solar panels, without worrying about damaging them if you need to haul gear on the roof. Congratulations on the new truck! 👍🏻
As far as building it, I see the perfect "bug out" vehicle to be built like a work utility truck. When I worked HVAC the boss' truck was all Gucci'ed out and he had probably 30 compartments in the area of the truck bed and there was space for two or three people to crouch back there. So go for a bunch of compartments on your Tundra but of course you've got to keep it looking normal. Dedicated compartments for specific prepper items would be the way to go.....
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.
I have 2014 , crewmax, 3 inch lift, almost same rims as yours ,but i got mt tires , i live in mountain area , i put on carhartt custom seat covers, i have dogs , an went with duel exhaust, flow master 40s , people think im crazy when they seen me doing donuts in the 4×4 area we have here , flinging mud ,having fun ,hell it's a truck , an it's a tundra , there well made ,in America an tough as hell .
Hey there homie, I would say not to supercharge the tundra, unless from Trd, with some warranty, to much maintenance, not as much reliability, I have had 3 tundras now, had the last one supercharged, lots of fun, killed the mileage, like by half, I would say do some intake breather work, ie: snorkel kit, you have enough lift, tires are great for Canada winters, talk to a welder I your area, that you trust,, iam betting that they could make you want for the racks and fuel tank-for half the cost!!! Great videos and content been a long time fan, keep up the grate work!!!
Next year the Tacoma is supposed to be built on the same frame as tundra,so should be able to have engine choices.I wish they remade the 1983,small and reliable and would spank a jeep 4-wheeling.
NICE RIG .TRY FRONT RUNNER SLIMLINE 11 ROOF RACKS ONE OF THE BEST. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. I AM RUNNING 4CLY SUPERCHARGED 2014 TACOMA REG CAB. ON THAT NOTE GO SUPERCHARGED.
I just found you channel and I'm sure you're loving that truck and hope you've gotten the Magnuson supercharger! I have it on my 2016 Tundra TRD Pro and it makes a world of difference while I haven't noticed any loss of MPG since I drive it like an old man.
Before you coat the side steps check out rock sliders. There's a ton of manufacturers and some come with a top plate which is a better standing platform IMO. Much better protection and clearance. I saw expedition one in the video. Love them. I had the diamond bumper on my FJ. I know tons of people running their products. Top notch no doubt. They always do a huge black Friday sale. I got my bumper 20% off plus free shipping. Not sure about Canada though. Nice truck, love the cement color.
Normally I’m a huge fan of All American Prepper, greatest prepper in the history of the planet without question. But no, don’t let him supercharge it whatever you do. All of the mechanicals in the drive train are designed around the output of the engine as it was when it left the factory. Supercharging will cause you an exhaustive list of expensive problems.
So I know for a fact my family has a Toyota Tundra Crewmax 2013 model and they struggled the toe a 30 ft RV that weigh 10000 pounds the truck struggled to get out of 3000 RPMs. So they realize. They have to upgrade to like a Ford F-250 that has a higher towing capacity. Just remember your truck will be able to tow a 10000 pound trailer but it will struggle they drove 80 miles and used a full tank of gas because there is too much weight so personally I wouldn't recommend doing over 9000 pounds they have the 5.7 liter V8
unfortunately most pickups are not real pickups any more... most only have six foot boxes... in most work situations we need eight foot boxes... sweet truck though, and I really love the swing storage... where did you get the swing out?
What type of seat covers do you have on this beast? Or is it just the stock leather seats? Just bought a 2021, so stoked to get it. Def going to throw that lift on it. I think the 3 inch looks perfect. Might be stealing a lot of your mods :)
Nice Truck! I would skip the supercharging..recalibrate the on board computer... No factory vehicle comes out having proper suspension for any serious off roading. Your truck has a 3inch body lift, but looks like your drive train is still virtually stock height. Skid plate protection is a must, especially for the oil pan. Still a nice truck platform to work with, you could build it from the ground up into a beast. 👍
Love your content bub. But this is nothing of a bug out vehicle compared to a 1980's model 4x4 suburban with a lift and swampers. You traded it in because it was probably a logical financial choice on your end? Why Hollywood it.. How much mechanically can you fix on it, be honest with yourself. Cute step btw
To say a new Tundra is "nothing of a bugout vehicle" when it's one of the most capable and reliable vehicle on the road is silly. I drove a Tacoma for 85K with ZERO issues. Glad you like your suburban, I wont knock another mans vehicle.
Do not supercharge your truck... its unnecessary and it'll eat up even more gas. Front bumper, wench, light bar, roof rack and bed storage system is all you really need. great looking truck tho, so glad you didn't waste money on a hood scoop thats non functional!!!
I wouldn't supercharge it. Imo tundra already makes plenty of power. By supercharging it, fuel economy will suffer, extra stress on powertrain, there fore reliability goes out the window in a long run
Could you go into the specifics on the trade in? Everyone says that Toyota Tacomas have "high trade in value" but you never know if they are front loading the deal by having an inflated sale price on the new vehicle. Numbers are truth.
Hi Alex , my state drivers licence expired on march 15 2006 so I take the city metro bus or walk everywhere past 3 years... Plan to be a grayman & take one day or night at a time. From Bree 49 lady Not giving up anytime soon....some of my preps were recently stolen from me in my seattle apartment. Plan to move & secured my stuff with new locks.Take it slow & easy .Peace!
I'm going with the HD cover for my Ram with the Front Runner Rack option to add a RTT, HD Headache Rack, and ATV Load Ramps when I want to swap out the Front Runner Racks for the ramps. To access the bed I'm going with the CargoGlide XL that comes with support legs as an option. For more storage options I'm looking at www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/storage-systems.html?p=9 that I will mount on a removable platform that sits on top of the cargoglide. Now due to the extra weight I'm going with Airlift 5000 and a roof rack option either by KC Hilites or the Rhino Back Bone Rack. I was sold on the HD cover for ATV transport. Oh and a LRAM 50 gallon extended tank.
For what you get in a Tacoma and its price you get so much more for your money out of a Tundra. I personally believe the prices of Tacomas are about $10,000 over what they're actually worth. Go to the Toyota dealership and see how much of a Tacoma you can get it for $36,000 out the door then go to the same dealership and see how much you can get with a $36,000 tundra out the door . I can tell you that the minimum amount already and that 110 hp more from the tundra. Much larger and more comfortable cab. Much larger bed . Quieter interior at all levels of speed. and the gas mileage is literally within 2 miles per gallon difference being that tundra being less
Congrats on the upgrade kinda figured you traded up from the last video noticed it was in it. Live the cover aswell but personally I prefer caps although not quite as secure but for situation perfect and I can cage the windows. Also as a tech my self sounds like a sin to the auto gods from my thought but for a daily driver I'd avoid it save on fuel and a little more reliable less likely to blow a head gasket if your beating on it but that being said zero judging if you do
Great truck ... the only way I'm ditching my '11 CrewMax is IF Toyota rolls out that new twin turbo engine in the next gen truck. And for crying out load, they need to put a rear locker on it. The trac control sucks ass...
Nice truck. Good vid. Did you ever complete your After the Collapse Series of bugging out to all the different parts of Canada? I saw Western Canada and The Canadian Sheild/Golden Horseshoe. Did you make it east, yet?
Wait what? Southpointe Toyota! That's where I bought my 2019 Cement Grey Trd off road CM Tundra. I'm new to the channel. Didn't know you are from Cowtown
It is not disel!? Both trucks are fine with disel engine but I would never get a truck this big without a disel engine!!!!! But congratulations on the upgrade!
Toyota Trucks are made in America by American workers. We used Toyota’s exclusively on overseas military real world deployments due to extreme mechanical reliability. Vehicle failure can lead to mission failure and service member fatalities. I don’t trust my life with any other truck.
Overseas they have the hilux as well. Its one of the only trucks that can withstand the elements. On the tv show top gear, they threw it into the ocean, set it on top of a building and imploded it. Engine still turned over. Amazing machines. Amazing.

It would be cool to have the option of using the rooftop solar panels, without worrying about damaging them if you need to haul gear on the roof. Congratulations on the new truck! 👍🏻
Good move! I have had 2 so far and my next one will be a Tundra as well. 0 problems at 80k miles so far, with LOTS of towing miles!
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.
Better than half the truck commercials I ever see. Top notch editing
As far as building it, I see the perfect "bug out" vehicle to be built like a work utility truck. When I worked HVAC the boss' truck was all Gucci'ed out and he had probably 30 compartments in the area of the truck bed and there was space for two or three people to crouch back there. So go for a bunch of compartments on your Tundra but of course you've got to keep it looking normal. Dedicated compartments for specific prepper items would be the way to go.....
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.
I have 2014 , crewmax, 3 inch lift, almost same rims as yours ,but i got mt tires , i live in mountain area , i put on carhartt custom seat covers, i have dogs , an went with duel exhaust, flow master 40s , people think im crazy when they seen me doing donuts in the 4×4 area we have here , flinging mud ,having fun ,hell it's a truck , an it's a tundra , there well made ,in America an tough as hell .
Hey there homie, I would say not to supercharge the tundra, unless from Trd, with some warranty, to much maintenance, not as much reliability, I have had 3 tundras now, had the last one supercharged, lots of fun, killed the mileage, like by half, I would say do some intake breather work, ie: snorkel kit, you have enough lift, tires are great for Canada winters, talk to a welder I your area, that you trust,, iam betting that they could make you want for the racks and fuel tank-for half the cost!!! Great videos and content been a long time fan, keep up the grate work!!!
Next year the Tacoma is supposed to be built on the same frame as tundra,so should be able to have engine choices.I wish they remade the 1983,small and reliable and would spank a jeep 4-wheeling.
Sick ride bro! 💪 And Marshall is such a good pupper!
I'm loving that blacked out grille man. That is a good lookin rig. Well done
I was wondering how long it was going to take you to get a full size truck. Full sized men require full sized vehicles...
@AVERAGE JOE A full sized man driving a smart ( stupid ) car, is gay...
sick ride man ! gonna pick up a 97 4runner this winter and do it up for shtf !!! cant wait !! mens toys haha
Glad you are liking it. Toyota cars are great.
Do Not Supercharge your truck unless you plane to race it. Long term reliability depends on regular operation.
Check out the Rivian Electric Truck. Also, the all new Tundra will be shown sometime in 2020.
NICE RIG .TRY FRONT RUNNER SLIMLINE 11 ROOF RACKS ONE OF THE BEST. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. I AM RUNNING 4CLY SUPERCHARGED 2014 TACOMA REG CAB. ON THAT NOTE GO SUPERCHARGED.
I just found you channel and I'm sure you're loving that truck and hope you've gotten the Magnuson supercharger!
I have it on my 2016 Tundra TRD Pro and it makes a world of difference while I haven't noticed any loss of MPG since I drive it like an old man.
Before you coat the side steps check out rock sliders. There's a ton of manufacturers and some come with a top plate which is a better standing platform IMO. Much better protection and clearance. I saw expedition one in the video. Love them. I had the diamond bumper on my FJ. I know tons of people running their products. Top notch no doubt. They always do a huge black Friday sale. I got my bumper 20% off plus free shipping. Not sure about Canada though. Nice truck, love the cement color.
Normally I’m a huge fan of All American Prepper, greatest prepper in the history of the planet without question. But no, don’t let him supercharge it whatever you do. All of the mechanicals in the drive train are designed around the output of the engine as it was when it left the factory. Supercharging will cause you an exhaustive list of expensive problems.
AWESOME. Toyota Tundra one badass truck on planet Earth. Love the Japanese technology.
So I know for a fact my family has a Toyota Tundra Crewmax 2013 model and they struggled the toe a 30 ft RV that weigh 10000 pounds the truck struggled to get out of 3000 RPMs. So they realize. They have to upgrade to like a Ford F-250 that has a higher towing capacity. Just remember your truck will be able to tow a 10000 pound trailer but it will struggle they drove 80 miles and used a full tank of gas because there is too much weight so personally I wouldn't recommend doing over 9000 pounds they have the 5.7 liter V8
Skid plates are more important than supercharged.
You keep ratcheting up this manliness, AAP will be too shamed into come out of his bunker.
unfortunately most pickups are not real pickups any more... most only have six foot boxes... in most work situations we need eight foot boxes... sweet truck though, and I really love the swing storage... where did you get the swing out?
Nice very nice I'm f150 owner , But I can see Toyota is doing a great job on their trucks .
Best color is right!
What type of seat covers do you have on this beast? Or is it just the stock leather seats? Just bought a 2021, so stoked to get it. Def going to throw that lift on it. I think the 3 inch looks perfect. Might be stealing a lot of your mods :)
Nice Truck! I would skip the supercharging..recalibrate the on board computer... No factory vehicle comes out having proper suspension for any serious off roading. Your truck has a 3inch body lift, but looks like your drive train is still virtually stock height. Skid plate protection is a must, especially for the oil pan. Still a nice truck platform to work with, you could build it from the ground up into a beast. 👍
Love your content bub. But this is nothing of a bug out vehicle compared to a 1980's model 4x4 suburban with a lift and swampers. You traded it in because it was probably a logical financial choice on your end? Why Hollywood it..
How much mechanically can you fix on it, be honest with yourself. Cute step btw
To say a new Tundra is "nothing of a bugout vehicle" when it's one of the most capable and reliable vehicle on the road is silly. I drove a Tacoma for 85K with ZERO issues. Glad you like your suburban, I wont knock another mans vehicle.
Do not supercharge your truck... its unnecessary and it'll eat up even more gas. Front bumper, wench, light bar, roof rack and bed storage system is all you really need. great looking truck tho, so glad you didn't waste money on a hood scoop thats non functional!!!
I wouldn't supercharge it. Imo tundra already makes plenty of power. By supercharging it, fuel economy will suffer, extra stress on powertrain, there fore reliability goes out the window in a long run
Best intro for a new truck ... kinda like an action figure lol
Could you go into the specifics on the trade in? Everyone says that Toyota Tacomas have "high trade in value" but you never know if they are front loading the deal by having an inflated sale price on the new vehicle. Numbers are truth.
Congratulation, great truck! If you have the bucks you should have the best; When will you show us your bunker ?
Great video!! Nice clean build!
Turbo charge is another thing to fail with nobody to fix
Looks and sounds like a badass truck 🤙. Would you consider removing all logos and coating the truck in bed liner?
I really want a Tundra pickup but those mpgs scare me. With it's size, I don't know if I could live with it as an everyday driver
I can't drive. When SHTF my plan is to die like everyone else
Most who will bug out wont make it long for many reasons. Only a handful may be able to do it. I'm staying put.
I admire your honesty
Hi Alex , my state drivers licence expired on march 15 2006 so I take the city metro bus or walk everywhere past 3 years... Plan to be a grayman & take one day or night at a time. From Bree 49 lady Not giving up anytime soon....some of my preps were recently stolen from me in my seattle apartment. Plan to move & secured my stuff with new locks.Take it slow & easy .Peace!
At age 73, all I have to do is light up a bowl of my finest and kiss my ass good bye.
I'm going with the HD cover for my Ram with the Front Runner Rack option to add a RTT, HD Headache Rack, and ATV Load Ramps when I want to swap out the Front Runner Racks for the ramps. To access the bed I'm going with the CargoGlide XL that comes with support legs as an option. For more storage options I'm looking at www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/storage-systems.html?p=9 that I will mount on a removable platform that sits on top of the cargoglide. Now due to the extra weight I'm going with Airlift 5000 and a roof rack option either by KC Hilites or the Rhino Back Bone Rack. I was sold on the HD cover for ATV transport. Oh and a LRAM 50 gallon extended tank.
For what you get in a Tacoma and its price you get so much more for your money out of a Tundra.
I personally believe the prices of Tacomas are about $10,000 over what they're actually worth.
Go to the Toyota dealership and see how much of a Tacoma you can get it for $36,000 out the door then go to the same dealership and see how much you can get with a $36,000 tundra out the door .
I can tell you that the minimum amount already and that 110 hp more from the tundra.
Much larger and more comfortable cab.
Much larger bed .
Quieter interior at all levels of speed.
and the gas mileage is literally within 2 miles per gallon difference being that tundra being less
Oh and Tundra is faster assuming you have the 5.7L
Toyota heavy mule ;),thanks from Poland is UK ;)
It'll be a great truck once you have done all the mods mate. Great 'piece of mind' choice. Cheers for sharing
Congrats on the upgrade kinda figured you traded up from the last video noticed it was in it. Live the cover aswell but personally I prefer caps although not quite as secure but for situation perfect and I can cage the windows. Also as a tech my self sounds like a sin to the auto gods from my thought but for a daily driver I'd avoid it save on fuel and a little more reliable less likely to blow a head gasket if your beating on it but that being said zero judging if you do
Great truck ... the only way I'm ditching my '11 CrewMax is IF Toyota rolls out that new twin turbo engine in the next gen truck. And for crying out load, they need to put a rear locker on it. The trac control sucks ass...
Check out bulletproof bumpers from red deer. Locally made and awesome!!
Welcome to the TUNDRA club
The color is sick!
Prinsu makes a great low pro rack
Love mine. Gas mileage sucks. I didn't buy it for the mileage though.
ADD EMP SHIELD.
Looks GREAT, I love the color.
Nice truck. Good vid. Did you ever complete your After the Collapse Series of bugging out to all the different parts of Canada? I saw Western Canada and The Canadian Sheild/Golden Horseshoe. Did you make it east, yet?
1100 KMS OFF ONE TANK 95$ TO FILL 3L TURBO DIESEL ENGINE
Wait what? Southpointe Toyota! That's where I bought my 2019 Cement Grey Trd off road CM Tundra. I'm new to the channel. Didn't know you are from Cowtown
The cab is so big the roof rack will have a ton of room
Nice Advert for TOYOTA ! ! !
67 DESIGNS or RAM mounts for your electronics
All these fine pilgrims here buying all this gear you push for your sponsors bought this truck Mr. Carpetbagger.
I reckon so.
U make allamericanprepper proud xD hahaha
What’s that gas ⛽️?
Just subscribed, I have a similar Tundra and your video was awesome. Looking forward to future updates
+Matthew Lawlor Cool any video?

38Gal... at 4L to the (US)gallon...
Hah, I'm still driving my 2001 Tundra. I'd love to trade you for a newer truck.
Frickin' Sweet Dude! Shout out from GP!
Good luck with it, nice truck, enjoy 👍
Can’t go wrong with a tundra.
It is not disel!? Both trucks are fine with disel engine but I would never get a truck this big without a disel engine!!!!! But congratulations on the upgrade!
There needs to be a law that trucks should be offered as diesel and should burn bio diesel.
Nice truck man!!
Don't super charge it... you will hurt your fuel economy and over all range capabilities with it. My 2008 5.7 Tundra is plenty quick enough.
Very nice truck and color 👍
Toyota Trucks are made in America by American workers. We used Toyota’s exclusively on overseas military real world deployments due to extreme mechanical reliability. Vehicle failure can lead to mission failure and service member fatalities. I don’t trust my life with any other truck.
RKG RKG Tundra or Tacoma?
2016 Tundra TRD Pro quad cab, color Quicksand. Working on a major Overland build project.
Private contractor or US military?
Overseas they have the hilux as well. Its one of the only trucks that can withstand the elements. On the tv show top gear, they threw it into the ocean, set it on top of a building and imploded it. Engine still turned over. Amazing machines. Amazing.
@vince orr albert nop. Tundra is 100% made in San Antonio, Texas. Tacoma is 85% built in Texas and 15% in Mexico
Hilarious! I loved the can’t reach the kids part. lol Only a dad can relate. Love the truck CP, enjoy.
Not a Dad, but i live right next to a Kindergarden, so I can relate to the strangle part...
