In case anyone is curious, that's 11 mpg.
O O F
And I love it.
How much km/l tho
My 2008 Tundra crewmax gets 13-15 L/100km @ 120km/hr. At 100km/h the read out bounces around at 11 L/100km. It's thirsty for sure, but I know it will always have my back and sound GREAT!!!
Must be the same engine in the thirsty Sequoia.
Tundra hand down is the best truck ever
Long live a real key....
Never stop explaining this is the extra channel it’s my favorite part
Another great perk of leasing a new tundra is the free 2 year/25,000 Toyota care. Free oil changes and tire rotations. If you do the 3 year 36k mile lease you maintenance is covered for free for most of you lease. It also comes with the 3 year 36k miles bumper to bumper warranty meaning anything that might happen is covered under warranty for the whole lease. Plus high residential mean low payments.
Thanks for testing pickups, huge amount get sold every year, a relevant market.
the key is the only reason it lasted a month outside the house. if it was push start in the gta it would end up in a container shipped somewhere else
I truly enjoy turn key more than a button.
Hay guys this is JAMAICA again, and i've been watching yore shows for a while But i have never watch your other review SHOW, 'cause i feel like i actually like i really know you 2 😀....i feel like we are all friends just chatting about cars and trucks.....WOW....i love you guys....and yes its because u dont have a life🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣......but i seriously enjoy this "extra" keep it up .......o and i gave everyone of YOUR videos a thumbs-UP👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I have a 2020 Tundra Trd pro and I have push to start and every other feature you can get on the Tundra it’s available on the truck they just want you to pay for it. And as far as the light steering feel if I’m not mistaken it has hydraulic steering I hear it every time I turn the car off makes this noise I actually like.
2021 does. Pump is at the front passenger side of the bay.
it doesn’t get bad gas. You get a 4.30 rear end. Most trucks in its class are equipped with 3.23 or 3.73 alongside with an 8-10 speed auto. 6 speed with a 4.30 with 401TQ is where it’s at.
I would love to see more Direct comparisons of cars that are in the same marketshare. Toyota Tundra vs Nissan Titan vs Ford F-150 vs Dodge Ram. Reliable vs Optimal.
How much weight are you towing? Would a Durango fit the bill? Alex likes em.
10:00 "About 3300 pounds, with a car in it over 5000 almost 6000 pounds"
You’re going to love the Ram. Wonderful interior and the air suspension is very nice.
Questionable FCA reliability, though.
You can get pushbutton start in the Tundra.
Guarantee y’all pick a ram. The interior, the hemi, the options. It’s an unbelievable truck.
Don’t worry , my 2018 highcountry has a key to start it too 🥺
I've own a few trucks over the years and now own a Tundra. I wouldnt buy anything else but Toyota
The 1794 edition is the way to go with the brown outside color is just utter perfection
Although I know I’m stupid for it, I’m so hopefully for the next gen. This gen has looked so old even when it was new. Come on Toyota!
I personally prefer my cars to have a real key if that means I dont have to pay for gimmicks I dont want
When it comes to gimmicks: You can run, but you cannot hide.
i wanna see you guys drive the titan XD
Cant wait until you try the gmc/silverado trucks
Would like to see ya’ll try the Nissan Titan.
I think I know why Thomas used the Arnold voice - it's because James is visible hitting the gym.
I have a 2019 limited trd off-road and it’s great and the interior’s significantly nicer
You should consider the sierra or silverado half ton with a diesel!
Ahh, man. Thought this was the other channel. Still good, still good.
*pulls up pants
You definitely need a TRX for your production vehicle. All my content creator and film friends say its great for transporting film gear and getting to places that'll get you the best shots.
You guys know what to do. Be men. Do the right thing.
That color is fantastic!
I would like to see the Titan. I have a family member who has one and he likes it, and I like as well so it would be interesting to see what you guys think. I don't know much about the new Titan, but I have driven the 2016 Titan XD Platinum Reserve and really enjoyed it.
AWESOME could care less what anyone says TOYOTA TUNDRA ONE BADASS TRUCK ON PLANET EARTH.
And if you think it's a gas guzzler NOT THE TRUCK FOR YOU
Can't wait for the new Tundra in a few months
Apple CarPlay is very inconsistent on my Prius Prime too.
When I started watching Extra Throttle House, you know, the extra channel, I felt like an explanation was completely and totally unnecessary for us the viewers about the 2 channels. Now...please don't ever stop trying to explain it to us. :)
Try the GMC Sierra AT4 Package
Should do the Titan next
Only 52K! Thank goodness my wife still has two kidneys. Honey!?
lol I treat my 2015 King Ranch like a beater Toyota truck. The 5.0 and 6R80 have been perfect. Can’t beat it on average. Gonna drive it into the ground for as long as I can.
Just wait a few months and review the 2022 tundra
10.45 mpg that's one reason dealer's wont take them in on trade, well at least the 3 I worked at anyways
Radio problems are a thing on these newer Toyota’s. friends with tundras an runners who have problems.
Ram all the way!!
Titan all the way
RIP to the legendary 5.7L v8
It'll prob be the Ford or Tundra. The Rams are nice but I'll be in the shop a ton. Even the new ones are not that great overall and everyone knows anything GM is gonna have a recall on it 2 weeks later.
Please stop gaslighting about Ram's .
So tired of the ignorant opinions
Ram TRX all way
Imagine being so miserable you gotta dislike this amazing video. S/o Thomas and James from Bronx New York
If you are looking for a tow vehicle the off-road suspension will always be too soft.
Titan with Cummins Diesel!
What about Honda Ridgeline?
Titan w the cummins????👀
I don't think a non TRD toyoto is a fair shake. My wife and I just purchased the TRD Tacoma 4x4 and it's leaps and bounds better in terms of both gadgets that it came with AND tech that you drive with. (Keyless start for example)
Sierra AT4 with the 3.0 duramax please
If I want reliability I'd go with the Tundra, if you want class leading interiors go with Ram and if you want max towing get anything Cummins
Thomas you should have said " run, get to the tundra"
I have a ‘21 Platinum, my favorite features are the rear window that rolls down and the sound of that 5.7! I’ll take reliability over a few extra MPG’s any day.
Same! I agree! I bought a 21 Platinum as well! Best investment! Run it until the wheels fall off, hopefully a million miles.
The Nissan Titan doesn't get as much attention as the other trucks, seeing you guys review it would be really interesting. I hardly know anything about it.
It’s very old. It’s like 15 years old at this point.
The current Titan is since 2016, so 6 years.
@@angelgjr1999 so is the tundra. The Nissan doesn't get coverage because its a Nissan🗑
I completely agree with you Lucas Evans
@@cookmania3465 True. My dad has an 08 Tundra. It looks pretty much the same as a 2020.
Surprised to learn Thomas is the bougie water drinker type
There was no disclaimer, so I'll leave it for them lol. This video contains paid advertising.
Actually I drink the Latin American version of Bubbly (H2Oh in Orange and Lemon only) and it is quite neat (it's actually a lot cheaper than the version in The States or The Provinces).
If you drink it solely it's a thing... but if you use it to swap out soda it's for diet and health reasons. Lockdown saw a lot of us get a little too complacent, and lots of people are trying to get back to form now that they can go back out in the world.
They also advertise Apple in every video without the required disclaimer.
I mean he owns an Audi S4
I love how the “save the manuals” crowd gets so offended at the thought of turning a key to start a vehicle. Myself included.
ngl i'd rather have a keyed ignition, so when my spinning doritos inevitably do something stupid i can burn up the starter for the sake of getting out of the middle of the road
I think they should test the latest Tacoma. Mostly due to the fact comes in manual.
@@sofielee4122 I have a Mazda 3 with push button start, and guess what happens when the battery in that keyfob gets low? :(
These two are irrelevant
Cars haven't been the same since they got rid of a manual choke.
Great content as always. You should ask Dodge for a three month long term test. Then Nissan for a six month long term test. Then Chevy for a nine month long term test. See where I'm going with this??? ;)
in full size this would be my only choice. build quality and reliability
sacrifice mpg now and save very expensive repairs and maintenance
Good tradeoffs!
💯
What you save in gas you get back in resale valvue
Put the Trd cold air intake and the trd cat back exhaust and it opens that v8 up beautifully! Run 91 ethanol free fuel and voila!! I love mine.
I’d like to see the Ram and the Titan.
Yeah like a fully optioned longhorn 2500
I'm no American but is it just me or Titan seems criminally underrated? At least this Tundra got quite fanfare around it but not Nissan trucks ...
@@obidean3964 especially the updated 2020+ models!
@@obidean3964 honestly no. If you are familiar with the big three pick up brands and what they offer. Neither Nissan nor Toyota compete.
The titan is a heaping pile of hot shit
I love my dad's tundra. Insanely reliable, super great 4wd for snow and mud, lots of leg room, can tow well enough and honestly the power is decent and with an air intake it sounds really pleasing！
Ikr, I installed trd pro cold air intake and trd exhaust and it just sounds so sexy, it has that perfect whistle and air intake sound, so I’m glad someone else enjoys that sound off and it really gives you that torque for sure
@@bearpaw7603 such a great truck and you know it won't have any problems like a Chevy or a Ford or Dodge
Don’t ever change Thomas. That intro was perfect
If it’s possible, a comparison with a high trim f150 vs high trim ram rebel vs high trim Silverado 1500 would be solid! Also, good for your own purchasing purposes ;)
Would be a RAM commercial.
I'm picking the 2022 Tundra over all of them because I don't trust modern American vehicle reliability, or lack thereof.
The Ram is a drivable living room
every one of them has a decent chance of keeping you on a first name basis with the service counter at your local dealership.
@@DeathProof132 eh not really, i have owned 2 fords and a toyota, only ever went to the dealership for the oil changes
Absolutely love my 2020 TRD sport, it was $53,000 Canadian as well, still cloth but has dual zone climate control, keyless entry and start as well as the Trd sway bars which help with towing a lot. It’s thirsty for sure and outdated but I like that it’s not on the leading edge of technology, I trust it to be dependable.
Just got a 2021 Limited, fully loaded for $56,000 USD. Absolutely love it! Something about having simple and smooth working electronics makes me like my tundra more. Who needs a tv as a center console🤷🏽♂️
@@ernyguerra1195 my thoughts exactly, it has an 8 inch screen with car play, what more does anyone actually need? Plus the radar cruise is awesome and standard on the tundra, every other truck it’s optional and typically a very expensive option at that. Now that I’ve had it I don’t think I could go back to driving a truck without it lol.
@@thatcanadiancarguy1499 late reply but yes! That radar cruise control is top notch for a half ton. Took it around a busy highway roundabout and it stayed locked the whole time. I can not complain!
Won't the new Tundra get a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo?
yup
Requires premium fuel on the new Tundra.
@@sonar0085 The premium fuel could be a dealbreaker for me.
Supposedly, nothing official has been released on the power train
@@garrettstratton8257 rumors are that it's going to have the same power train as the 2022 Land Cruiser...and the next gen Lexus LX and Toyota Sequoia. It's (reportedly) the same engine and transmission as the LS500.
Time stamp 3:05
I actually prefer a physical key to these push button starters because this way I can put the key into the on position without starting the car and it just gives me more control.
You can do that with keyless too. Just don't step on the brake when you press the start button.
@@kuanyang8236
I'll have to try that.
Thank you for the information.
Generally one press without brake will turn on some accessories, 2 presses without brake will turn on all the accessories.
Then of course button plus brake to start it
Love how Throttle house has the funny intro and extra Throttle house has the funny quick endings. You guys are killing it
As someone who knows three people that have had their "push to start" cars stolen I am SO happy to see a key for ignition. Even if it is "old"
I mean, before push to start people were still stealing cars...
@@16BitOG Lol, yeah what is this guy talking about? People have been stealing cars forever.
I think the TRD OFF ROAD packaged is good in this truck
Toyota: if it ain't broke, it's us
I don’t understand what’s wrong with the key. I would rather a key than a push start
Push starts are easier and if I had a key start truck, I would at least want one that has a modern key design.
Same. Less unnecessary tech the better.
Gonna go down in History…
As Top 5 greatest Trucks ever made
Go with the tundra!!!!!!
For my preference, it's actually a huge downer for me when I find out a car has "Push to Start" I like the key 100000x better
That is one of the reasons I bought f150 XLT in 2019 .
If I could buy a 2021 Tundra SR5 Crewmax today, I would. There is a serious availability problem right now.
I bought a 2016 sr5 crewmax 4x4 a few weeks ago with almost 80k on it. The thing about Toyota is 80k is NOTHING. Love it so far.
Plus they got the trail edition. A rare beast indeed!
Just bought one last month in Oklahoma, but they only get about 1 a month to the dealer. Its a rare occasion and you have to buy sameday basically
I just nabbed a 2021 Crewmax Offroad. Had to shop around hard for it.
I bought a 2018 crew max tundra with 50 thousand on the oD for 39k$ here in Florida
Take my advice as someone who has owned all late model trucks in 1500 and has to tow 9000lbs with them..
Nothing beats the tundra for usable power and stopping power.. nothing beats the durability of the drivetrain of the tundra.. it’s rides softer and because of that is why you get less payload and more sway when towing.. invest the $600 and put airbags in the rear end.. you’ll be able to haul another tundra in the bed while towing a 9000lb trailer and still retain the factory ride when daily driving..
I have 310k. Ike’s on my tundra and 165ish if that is towing 9k lbs to 12k lbs while also running another 1000lbs in the bed.. the brakes can take it the engine can pull it…
I’ve had to replace one rear wheel bearing, water pump only cause it was leaking and I had them replace it when doing the alternator just in case.. the rear bearing cause why replace just one.. and that is it… I still daily this truck everyday have not desire to get another vehicle and when my daughter starts driving in another year I’ll hand it down to her cause even after all the abuse it’s been through.. it’s still more reliable then my wife’s last two brand new vehicles.. I take that back.. third..
The only other vehicle I would consider for a 1500 truck that drives nice in the road and is capable towing would be a GMC… not Chevy.. checks are little stiffer sprung most of the time and ride worse unloaded.. but honestly they do bot stop or tow as good as the old tundras for regular less if what paper says..
Ford’s are just broken all around.. the eco boost wil overheat when towing heavy and they ride like shit cause they chase that king of the payload paper tiger number..
Rams Independent rears ride nice however they don’t hold up well over time.. bot major issues but maintenance is much higher and the wear and tear to the drivetrain is much more noticed as everything starts leaking front to back..
I’m sure the new tundra will be 400hp and 450tq super nice interior and exterior.. but even though the economist Ford makes more power and has higher towing in paper then the 5.0 the 5.0 tows way nicer… why? Cause it’s a v8 and no matter how you change it up…. Trucks that do real work need big motors.. those 10speed transmissions do nothing to make up for it either.. turbo charged v6 are for racing v8s are made for work..
Major downside to the tundras when you work them hard.. you have to replace rotors every time you do pads cause no one makes quality rotors for them.. they all warp however even towing you’ll get 50k plus out of the pads..
First of all I love yalls channel and all your reviews. I sell Toyotas in Texas and have personally owned 4 tundras. One of witch was a 2011 4.6L single cab with 314,000 miles. They have been amazing trucks that you can beat up and not feel guilty about. You buy a truck to put it to work right? Not baby it and look good at your local grocery store. My current truck is a 2012 2wd double cab with the 5.7. I have a gooseneck ball and air bags and can comfortably tow about 12k lbs. I tow cars for my dealership all the time with no problems. Also you can get the SR5 with the leather from the factory. It's just a separate package. The SR5 is the build it how you need it trim with a very long list of available options. Also you didn't mention the adjustable height head lights witch are ment to be pointed down if you are hauling something heavy and the truck squats and your front end lifts. 100% tundra all the way. Also resale value is unbeatable.
If you thought the F-150 was stiff, you’re gonna need a chiropractor after the RAM.
The Ram 1500 is the best riding half ton truck on the market period.
@@sledforpeace agreed..
Lmfao
@@sledforpeace If you opt for the air ride, it's one of the best riding vehicles. Period. Truck or not.
You are honestly the first person to say that and that’s saying something.
The SR5 is not that great, you want the off road or TRD pro package
Probably would be worse to tow with.
They said they were going to tow with it so the TRD PRO is not a good option because it's suspension is made for high speed offroading which is not good for towing but the TRD OFFROAD Tundra is really good at towing.
The SR5 & TRD Pro are trim levels. The TRD Off Road is a package (not trim) that can be added to several of the trim levels.
I've had my 21 TRD off road package since November and its amazing.
I live up in northern Canada and the closest store is 25km down a gravel windy mountain road and that's a gas station, and town is a 50 minute drive.
Same gas milage as I'd get on the 5.0L f 150s I've always driven for forestry work.
I average 15L/100km doing 80km/hr on the gravel and ups and downs.
Highway doing 120km on a 2500km road trip averaged 13.8l/100km
4x4 in the winter driving turned the gas milage to 18L/100km on the snowy packed roads doing 60-70km/hr and town driving was 19L/100km.
All time average is at 15.6L=100km.
It's got push button start, upgraded suspension for where I live it's key as it's a logging road, rear sliding window and heated seats.
First after I bought my truck and we got 40 cm of snow and there are no snowplows where I live and the tundra had now problem getting to town that morning in the storm.
I used to be a firefighter and forestry worker and they are all switching from mostly ford's to tundras now because of the reliability.
I went from a 2017 F-150 Lariat to a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro double cab, and the overall experience is so much better in the TUndra. Yes it is old tech...but that's why I love it.
Thanks to Toyota for coming out with this Tundra which started everything when it came out with the 5.7 v8
The big 3 got afraid and started building better engines, only the Silverado SS and the Harley Davidson with the supercharger was faster but them 5.4/4.6 or GM 4.8/5.3/6.0 couldn’t touch the iforce 5.7 performance wise
As long as the truck you lease isn't GM they're all good trucks. The new Sierra and Silverados have major reliability problems. My uncle had a 2019 Silverado for about 9 months, it went through 2 transmissions and then got lemon lawed. My cousin bought a 2019 Sierra at the same time and it had all kinds of electrical issues and seemed to always have a light out. It's also had the rear end replaced because it was worn out at 20k miles. Lucky for him all this was under warranty, but the new rear end is making noise and the transmission shifts hard out of first. He still has it and says that's the last GM product he'll ever buy. GM is complete garbage these days.
Oh and the Sierra's dash cracked under the leather cover and is very noticible. Truck has only ~30k miles last time I saw him.
This gen Tundra is essentially the same truck as my '07 with a (very) few upgraded amenities. That said, the design is old as time, but it'll also be around long after the other trucks will have been living in the mechanic's garage more often than your own. It is a very thirsty engine, but on the flip side, it gets 11mpg whether it's towing a trailer or just itself. The tradeoff being simplicity is reliable, aka, if it ain't broke...
If you're at all into aftermarket support, the Tundra is like the Lego of trucks. Everybody makes upgrade parts for it!
"Off-road" suspension is softer, which explains the bouncing while towing. If that really bothers you, try the other non-offroad versions.
The trail edition doesn't come with offroad shocks. It's basically just an sr5 tundra with 18 inch wheels and mild at tires. The trd suspension which is basically bilstein 4600 shocks is found on thr trd offroad package. They are stiffer than the factory black shocks found on trail Edition and standard tundra
You guys freak out having to use a key to start a vehicle 🤦♂️ literally the height of laziness
Thomas thinks no leather seats is a deficit while I consider it a boon in a utility vehicle. No scratch that. I prefer a great cloth seat in almost everything.
Trucks are working vehicles to me, not luxury.
I consistently find cloth seats more comfortable, personally. When a vehicle I'm looking at has cloth seats, it gets bonus points.
You arent alone there
I prefer leather/vinyl because it's easier to clean...
I live in Texas and if I had to get into my tundra with pleather seats I’d burn my ass 9 days out of 10. With my cloth seats I’ve never once thought about how hot those seats are gonna be.
Titan, let’s try it out. Or Tundra TRD Sport! Get that bigger sway bar, and better looks.
Candice is proud

@@johneldepresso dear God spare his soul
Reliability only goes so far on such an uncompetitive product. I don't want something this bad to last forever.
I'm not surprised to hear that there were issues with the infotainment. The latest generation of the Toyota infotainment set up is a real piece of junk. One of my vehicles is a 2020 Sienna and the infotainment system in it has been really unreliable. Not starting up, not recognizing our phones, etc...
If you need a truck to keep for a lot of years and to put a lot of miles buy this, if you need a big vehicle to compensate for something go get whatever
Please do a old vs new with pickup trucks
Lol I found this video by searching for Throttle House Silverado. Yes do a Silverado review
Can't wait for the Ram review and to see which kne you guys pick. But I think if Ferrarri can get away with an old fashioned key then Toyota definitely can especially since it's less money
I got 20 mpg on highway doing 65mph with 35” tires on my ‘21 TRD Pro.
Ram with air suspension should be next. It's what I'm looking into for my towing
This is my exact truck… same package!
