Only if you don’t have the tires to fill in. For 275 tires, nah no leveling kit. But for 35in (315) tires, the leveling kit looks perfect. My 22 tundra sat 2in higher in the back than in the front. (Measured from top of the tire, to the fender) With a 1.75in level kit and 35in tires, it made it level and looked perfect. It definitely adds the cherry on top for the vehicle. Mine is lunar rock
Great video and finally a canadian version on youtube!!! I ordered the same truck as you but with the long bed and I cant wait to have it! I wish we could choose the 14 inch screen in Canada in a SR5 trim level... unffortunatly we are restrained with what trim level offers...it annoys me a lot because I think the price difference between a canandian SR5 and limited is way too much for what's added... and we can only have the 14 inches screen in limited... I'm coming from a 2017 Tacoma and when I test drove the Tundra it felt like a more planted and a bit bigger tacoma, which is awesome! Congrats on the truck and thanks for the review!
Thanks, I agree with what you said about some reviews, people are knit picking it. It's purely preference if you like Toyota. I live on Cape Breton Island, I ordered the same one in White with 6.5 ft box. I am upgrading from my '16 Tacoma. Nice truck, hope you enjoy it 👍
Stumbled upon your channel, love your Tundra. We have similar interests as I have a 2012 Tundra, 2008 Tacoma, 2010 Corolla, Kubota L4060, RTV 500 and numerous landpride implements. Look forward to more content.
Thanks very much, I’m going to get my old 1988 toyota truck going again this weekend for the summer. Keep some kms of the new one, and try to keep it clean!!
My SR5 TRD O/R package is mag gray and I mostly do or will do highway miles and in brief so far love mine (replaced my 2nd Gen Tundra). I completely agree with you many nit pricker reviews, and as expected a truck drives better with a full tank. I’m not doing any mods that decrease the MPG.
Thanks for the video. You mentioned about a kit for the usb in the back seat of the truck. Just wondering if that worked out and some info on where you got it. Thanks
Great looking truck! I got a similar configuration in Magnetic Gray a couple of weeks ago. I agree 100% with you. It is an awesome truck. While watching reviews waiting for it to come in, I worried about things like the 14" screen being too big, too much chrome, wind noise, etc. Honestly, after driving it for two weeks, I have not found a single thing about the truck that I do not like. I had a 2016 TRD Pro 4Runner prior to this and the interior of this truck with the SR5 TRD Off-Road Premium Package and the Premium Audio Package feels like an upgrade. The dealer added the OEM TRD lift kit which is looks great. I do think it would look better after replacing the stock Michelin tires more aggressive 35s. The dealer have a minor issue re-installing the TRD skid plate after they installed they lift kit. They advised me to have a small section of the plated milled off on each side and once I did that, I was able to reinstall it. One other thing to note, the lift kit raised it more than I expected, so I ended up installing the OEM Predator Steps to make it a bit easier to get in and out.
Thanks very much, I know this sounds funny as I did my own review on TH-cam but I find all the reviews both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes too much information from others perspectives can be a bad thing. I found that if you get what you like and are content with it that’s all that matters, I try to block out all the other noise now. Very glad your happy with your truck, I image the lift looks amazing on it, I’m more of a stock guy so I only really upgraded my tires a bit but I’m sure yours looks mean!! I bet your runner would be very sweet too! If I didn’t need the towing capacity I would likely have bought a new 4Runner as I love those rigs!
Thanks, yeah I have played the midsized truck game before and they always leave me wanting a bit more. Forever all I wanted was a new Tacoma but as I started hauling more and heavier things I just knew I wanted a full size. Since I’m a toyota buyer, I bought a tundra. It was that easy for me.
Great video! I've ordered the same truck but in white and am also putting that exact tire size of KO2 on as well when it arrives. Look forward to hearing more about the mpg you're getting as it breaks in.
No cracks or anything but I did have to sort out a few rattles, I took door panels off and added some padding that seems to helps it wasn’t serious but just a tad annoying to me so I just sorted it out myself.
Thanks for posting, you looks awesome...I'm patiently waiting for mine to arrive out here in Bend, OR. Question re: tires, with the 275/70 tires, are you experiencing any amount of rubbing?
Nice truck. I see this post was almost a year ago. Still like the truck? I hope mine comes in next week. Same color, army green 2023 TRD Off Road. Selling a 2021 Rebel for it and just sold a 2021 Ram Limited Longhorn to buy. 2023 4Runner TRD Pro for the wife.
Yea I still really like it, I have had some minor teething pains with it but nothing that ever left me stranded or anything. As with anything it’s never perfect, it would be nice to have some features that some others have but all in all I still really like it. I’ve always driven Toyota so could really imagine having another brand in the laneway. I’m sure you will life your new one too. Actually the only other truck I’d likely look at would either be a Rebel or Trail Boss. Why are you trading the rebel? Just curious
Ready for a change. I’ve not had any problems to speak of with either Ram i owned. I really like the looks of the Toyotas and they have good resale plus dependable.
Hello, great video. I have ordered the same truck with long bed. I was wondering if yours came with lowering air dam, I noticed on the build sheet in Canada with the TRD package it’s listed as delete. Thanks
I'm very much a visual person and have been wanting to see those BFG's on an SR5, TRD with the white letters out! ! Thank you for posting this! Have the 275s affected your mpg/speedometer any?
@@yotasandkubotas3118 Good to know! First time Toyota truck owner here and absolutely love it! Albeit, only 750 miles so far and a couple weeks into ownership as of today. Thanks for the feedback!
Really like your comments?(Canadain)😅 About the 2023 Toyota Tacoma Tr D sport. I have purchased one myself in blueprint and have been quite satisfied . However, I am quite dissatisfied As there is no toe hooks in the front or the rear or even a capability of having adequate toe hooks to be addapted without ripping off the front bumper. Also, getting into the bed without an adequate bed step is very frustrating, you have to pay $600 more, Whereas all other dealerships provide an adequate step into the back of their truck. Hopefully Toyota will be able to also unscrew this miss hap, who dose not need a tow hook for a work truck? esepcially for recover !?, very disapointing.
Great Video, Got mine on order since beginning of February. Curious how long before you received yours? Amazing Tires BTW. Got 140,000KM on my last set. I'll be doing the same. Size is perfect.
Thanks very much, if you could tell from the video I really like the truck. I ordered mine dec 3 and got it March 15. They told me when I ordered it it would likely be early spring and that’s pretty well how it happened. You will love yours too, very nice truck for sure
@@yotasandkubotas3118 Just reached out to my dealer. Still no build date on mine from Toyota. Order was put in Feb 16th. Getting frustrated with all the issues on my F150 and just want out. Looks like i'm in for the long haul. Thanks for letting me know.
Ordered the same truck in the grey, I’ll get the same size tire as you did, do you feel any difference with the wider tire, and had you looked at any other tire besides the BFG’s?
I'm surprised your tire installation friend didn't ask you if you wanted the white lettering out or in. The other side of the tire isn't white lettering. It's a choice based on your preference. Looks good just letting you know. How are your window seals? I stopped at my local dealership Tuesday and every tundra had missing parts on the window seals?.... I'm also slightly concerned with all the moving parts on the truck like the rad and the bumper for air resistance having flaps that move to close the air resistance. I also live in Northern Ontario and stufff gets broken when it's -38c
I was asked what side I wanted out, I have had many sets of k02s, I chose white letters out but didn’t know how it would look of course until I got it. I like them out. I have had no issues with window seals or other components of the truck.
Very interested in the L/100 after brake in. I bought a 2021 Tundra in Dec while I am still waiting for a new Tundra. I am getting around 15L/100 with a 3" lift kit.
Really? Your getting 15 with the 5.7 and a 3” lift. That’s hard to believe, I had a stock 5.7 over a weekend once and put about 300 kms on it and averaged about 16-17 on factory tires. 15 would be amazing in a 5.7 with a 3” lift.
I’ll look closer later but pretty sure it’s just below 1400lbs. Lots for me, I don’t really ever get over say 8000 lbs behind the truck. Most of the time it’s my boat and the family. I understand the legality of payload, but this truck would handle much more then 1400lbs.
@@yotasandkubotas3118 Thank you. It looks great. I’ve always put them on as one of the first things I do. Will do it again as well. The tires look great as well. Was that from the dealer as well?
@@davideilers3176 I have a friend who owns a tire shop and he got me a great price on the tires. I brought them to the dealer before the truck was PDI’d and they swapped them for me.
Curious...why opt for the black ( think about wrapping chrome/bright trim) ? The black (to me) always submerges (hides into the background) the trim. You don't get the accent effect or the break up effect of the bright trim.
Congratulations on your truck. All that matters is if YOU like it. That being said, I’m a Toyota fanboy and wanted so bad to like this truck. But to me, the front end is hideous. Only time will tell about any mechanical/electronic problems. Glad I just purchased my ‘21 TRD Pro. Love the 5.7 V8. I wish you many years of trouble free ownership.
I can't get past that bass face grill and coke bottle side and having to crawl into the bed. Inside the big elephant ear vent and toilet seat console isn't very appealing but if you like it thats all that matters.
@@michaelmolnar5931 yes that was odd that the SR5 had colour matched grill and Trd didn’t. I guess they wanted to differentiate them a bit? I don’t mind the Chrome now that I have it and see it everyday, but colour matched does look great. Congratulations on your new truck
No bed step. No tow hooks. No bed lighting. No rear flat load floor. No engine options. No super duty option. Smaller cab than previous model. It’s basically a less proven EcoBoost. And yes everyone… the EcoBoost is a proven engine at this point. I’m totally cool with Toyota homers buying Toyota no matter what. But don’t for one second try to trick yourself into thinking this is a competitive offering. As someone who uses their truck for work. I can think of about 10 things that would annoy the holy hell out of me just by looking at it.
I just wonder why you watch a video on a truck you don’t like or want. This is the truck I wanted, I’ve always driven toyota and it’s what I chose. Just don’t understand the hate. I didn’t talk down any other trucks in my video, each to their own, just stating why I like it.
@@yotasandkubotas3118 I never said I “hated” the truck. There’s no Toyota hate here. My wife and I just bought a 2022 Highlander. But you can’t pretend like this truck is competitive. It’s simply lacking modern truck innovation. There is nothing about this truck that would suggest it was built for people who USE their trucks. Look at the Silverados bed. See how they eliminated dead space making it as wide as they possibly could. 12 tie downs…. That bed is made for truck owners. The multi-flex tailgate. The large bumper step cutouts. The team designing that vehicle had its ACTUAL use in mind. Ford and Rams completely flat rear floor. The Tundras seat has almost no use in even flipping up. There’s a giant hump and a cargo bin that eats up any usable floor you would have. And if you USE your truck. You’d know a flat rear load floor is one of the most usable features a crew cab has. The F-150 center console folding out into a laptop table. Just look around dude. All the big players in the truck game are considering what it’s like to actually utilize this vehicle. Toyota is only now entering the Turbo game, 11 years after the Ecoboost came out lol. Over a decade later, they’ve adopted another brands innovation. Maybe you’ll get lucky and the 2045 Tundra will have a usable, accessible bed with tow hooks on the front. Everyone buying these first year Tundras clearly didn’t shop the competition. I’d have no problem with this truck, and probably honestly buy one, if it wasn’t priced right along with the other brands that are actually trying.
@@nkyryry I hear everything your saying, I get it and understand it all. The thing is I only buy toyota vehicles and only ever had a few others. I like Toyota, and in my video I said this is likely going to be a truck for toyota buyers. I didn’t shop around because I really only wanted a toyota. I get that people will have thoughts and opinions against that but I honestly wouldn’t have been happy looking out my window and seeing anything but a toyota in my driveway. I’ve likely had over 10 Toyota’s in my life and have loved them all. I do totally get all the other things that other trucks have to offer and think that they are good ideas, but for me I wanted a toyota so I bought one. I use my trucks, I have had 3-4 trucks now, I tow my 40hp tractor around on a tandem, I have a 20’ bow rider, I do all my own wood and lumber, I tow around an antique truck. I’m just saying that for everything I do with a truck nothing has been a deal breaker for me. I love the performance and comfort, I don’t need more. So let’s just agree to disagree and hope you understand that I wouldn’t have had any other brand in my driveway and been happy no matter what.
@@yotasandkubotas3118 I agree, these 2022 Tundras are junk. turbos and hybrid's suck. and this truck is not designed for off road, more for towing. that's it.

Really glad you like it. I thought its the best looking trim during the reveal. Thanks for the close up.
I wouldn't bother with the leveling kit. It looks good as is. The leveling kit make it look like the front end is sticking up.

Toyota is only now entering the Turbo game, 11 years after the Ecoboost came out lol. Over a decade later, they’ve adopted another brands innovation. Maybe you’ll get lucky and the 2045 Tundra will have a usable, accessible bed with tow hooks on the front. Everyone buying these first year Tundras clearly didn’t shop the competition. I’d have no problem with this truck, and probably honestly buy one, if it wasn’t priced right along with the other brands that are actually trying.
@@nkyryry I hear everything your saying, I get it and understand it all. The thing is I only buy toyota vehicles and only ever had a few others. I like Toyota, and in my video I said this is likely going to be a truck for toyota buyers. I didn’t shop around because I really only wanted a toyota. I get that people will have thoughts and opinions against that but I honestly wouldn’t have been happy looking out my window and seeing anything but a toyota in my driveway. I’ve likely had over 10 Toyota’s in my life and have loved them all. I do totally get all the other things that other trucks have to offer and think that they are good ideas, but for me I wanted a toyota so I bought one. I use my trucks, I have had 3-4 trucks now, I tow my 40hp tractor around on a tandem, I have a 20’ bow rider, I do all my own wood and lumber, I tow around an antique truck. I’m just saying that for everything I do with a truck nothing has been a deal breaker for me. I love the performance and comfort, I don’t need more. So let’s just agree to disagree and hope you understand that I wouldn’t have had any other brand in my driveway and been happy no matter what.
I will never get this time back.....😆
It’s a V6 - ha ha ha $67,000 for a V6. Ha ha ha junk
Not sure where you got 67000.00 but I paid much less then that. What do you drive?
Good-luck with the turbo wastegates and crap gas mileage.
I’m wondering why you need to comment like this? This is the truck I chose and I’m wondering why you feel the need to be negative about this?
@@yotasandkubotas3118 I agree, these 2022 Tundras are junk. turbos and hybrid's suck. and this truck is not designed for off road, more for towing. that's it.
