I’m a Toyota guy for life but No recovery hooks was a huge mistake by Toyota. Whoever ok’d that decision should not be working on off road trucks honestly. Recovery points are so big and important.
Mark my words. There WILL be recovery hooks on it very soon. Unbelievable.
I believe it's available as a dealer add on option. I wonder if the dealers make a stink about not making enough money on their sales. Toyota's excuse that they left the hooks off for fuel efficiently feels fake.
Must have been a big whoops. Youre right. No hooks?! Wild.
No auto AWD is a downfall. It has the old 4 wheel drive system. It hops and skip in 4 wheel when wheels are turned. Bummer.
Are rounded hooks also bad for aerodynamics as well. I'm not an engineer though
As an aerospace engineer, I call bs on the recovery hooks being removed for aerodynamics. The front of a truck is a massive high pressure zone, those hooks would have an incredibly tiny impact if any at all, it doesn’t increase the cross sectional area of the truck at all. I don’t believe their reasoning.
they are full of shit just to cut cost.
Kinda obvious
They still could have included the hooks but just put them behind pieces of removable trim. My car has a piece of removable trim on the bumper that allows you to screw in a recovery point.
it's high school physics... I would hope
You dont have to be an aerospace engineer to know this. 😁👍
Doug: "Quality is excellent. Toyota reliability is beyond question fantastic."
Also Doug: "It gets an 8 out of 10."
The old one deserves this for sure but the new one only time will tell
You have to look at what gets a 10, a 5, and a 1. 1 is like a dodge neon, 5 is a standard issue car like a basic Honda, and a 10 is a Rolls Royce. Rolls Royces are pretty unquestionably the highest quality materials. Toyota isn't going to put hand stitched Italian leather made from cows that get daily massages. But it's still high quality and things aren't going to fall apart. The fact that a Toyota, a volume manufacturer gets an 8 is pretty amazing.
The Doug Score isn't perfect but when you understand what he means by quality or fun it makes a little more sense.
@@hazmatt2k6 Yeah, but we're talking about reliability here. A Toyota will outlast a Rolls Royce or any other British car for that matter, many times over.
@@CumBrianFries my bicycle will get an 11
I thought I was the only one who caught that!
The Tundra does have a storage area under the rear seat.
The hybrid version uses that space for the battery so on those trucks, you loose that storage area. They also move the 12 volt battery to that location also for the hybrid trucks.
And the screen is actually one of the biggest, if not the biggest. This guys sounds like a hater right from the beginning. Never watching his videos again.
20:00. There's no storage underneath the seats in the hybrid models because that's where the batteries are kept. However, non-hybrid models have the storage space available
This is helpful! Doug is very inconsistent in his videos.
Again another missed description of a quirk.
Is the battery safer under the seat or like Ford under the frame.
@@mikefoehr235 Either is fine. Toyota puts it there so they can cool and heat the battery by using air from the cabin.
@@mikefoehr235 being inside the vehicle helps keeping the battery at a room temperature when in use
I have a 21 Sienna and the battery is under the front seats
The biggest feature in this truck is that it can change your shirt automatically 18:59
THE MOST HORRIBLE LOOKING CAR OF 2021
@@Passportbros8 it's the same front-end styling as the rest of their 21 and 22 models. Go look at a Sienna, or a new Highlander. They all have big grills with angular front ends. Even the Camry and Corolla got the big grill treatment, even if only a tiny little square is functional.
The feature actually allows you to split into 2 for a short time. Doug #1 was holding the camera
That doesn't make any sense..
@@Passportbros8 then there is the cybertruck
Couple things wrong:
There IS an optional step for the tailgate that sits under the rear bumper and pops out. Believe it costs around $400 to add the "bed step" to your build.
Only the hybrid models lack the storage under the rear seats, because that's where the batteries are kept. Non-hybrid versions DO have under-the-seat storage.
I love love love that rear window power up and down that toyota has on their trucks and 4Runners. I wish every suv and pickup manufacture did this as well. Great Video Douggy
I love that feature on my 18 years old 4Runner. Especially if you have dogs, they look amazing in photos looking out while in the woods
My 18 year old titan has it.

Douggy RofL
I really wish they would include the full roll down window on the Tacoma. Only the small middle section on my 2018 TRD OR opens.
My 2000 Toyota 4Runner has the back window rolling down feature. It’s cool to see Toyota is still using it as it is such a unique Toyota thing
Love the roll down back window in my 03 Sequoia
They’ve been doing this since 89 I believe, in the 4Runner.
Yeah it's lame everyone else stopped including the rolling down back windows.
love it in my 2002 T4R, 326,000 miles and daily driving.
@@garage779 mine has 163,000 but honestly these old Toyotas could easily run to 500 if taken care of. They’re just made so well.

I just test drove this truck at the Philly auto show, and yes I was most impressed by the sound. No matter what exhaust system you throw on an ecoboost f150/raptor, it still doesn't sound like a v8 to me...this does! I did get a bit of information overload from the excessive cameras, but since I doubt I'll ever be able to afford this truck, I just tried to enjoy the experience
The change sorter/storage is the greatest thing I've ever seen! I always have change clinking around in my center console.
I love how Doug adjust his voice based on the type of vehicle he’s reviewing
underrated comment
I don't remember if this has been mentioned in other vids before, but his voice reminds me of Sheldon from the tv show The Big Bang Theory 🤔
And jerks and twitches around like a damn cartoon character.
This man has survived innumerable 3rd degree quirk attacks and still quirks away...legend.
Indeed haha
19:19 Doug's face as he's rolling the window up and down..🤣🤣
You didn't mention that for the led bar to turn on you have to be in high beams, it will turn off if you go to low beams.
Also the most annoying thing remote start engine. Once you go out to get in the truck the engine will turn off if you unlock the doors and if doors already unlocked, engine will turn off when you shift to drive
No tow hooks for aerodynamics is bogus.
They could've made caps.
That was straight bull🤣
That front needs something the break up that lower section. WOOF
@@starnesandcars "but the aerodynamics" meanwhile it's shaped like a brick lol.
No cap!
THE MOST HORRIBLE LOOKING CAR OF 2021
I love the return of the "TOYOTA" front grill. It's a cool throwback to the old school Land Cruiser days.
Agreed, even while I'm not into Toyota, aside from the FJ's from the 60's and 70's. With that said, it's a bit much having the Tundra there as well. All in all I think the only thing that bothers me about the styling is the paint scheme on the A-pillar; I understand what they're trying to do with the look of the black wrapping all the way around but it honestly looks like a Maaco paint job.
The year is 2035, a new terror group rises somewhere in the Middle East/Africa....TOYOTA! Gotta hand it to those terrorists, they subliminally market Toyota products really well. Build Ford tough? Fuck that, ain't never seen a F150 help overthrow a government
@@gordoeinstein honestly any truck with the name written out is so much cooler than a logo
Landcruisers are doing very qell outside the US
@@TheNacropolice Yes and Toyota has that extreme reliabilty reputation in Australia
Thank you for your honest review and.showing us the nice details of the truck. Much appreciated!
I really love this new Tundra. Hoping to get one in the near future
Doug is the kinda guy to have 2 Dougs in the same video
doug #1 got too sweaty and needed a fresh shirt
"We cant design a TT v6 for the supra too expensive!!!!!!" Makes one 2 years later for the tundra
Supra needed an I6
I guess they wanted the supra's engine to remain an inline six, and not a V6. That would have angered supra fans more than the Toyota-BMW partnership or the lack of a manual transmission did.
@@damilolaakanni you right, im low on sleep and not thinking clearly.
THE MIST HORRIBLE LOOKING CAR OF 2021
The could’ve but would’ve had to develop an I6, this 3.5 engine actually debuted in 2017 in the ls500
No storage underneath for they hybrids ONLY. The gas versions have storage underneath. Actually bugger than some, because the seats themselves are longer than competitors.
This video sold me on the truck. Thank you
Doug's the kind of guy to describe the quirks and features while wearing a quirks and features shirt.
Didn't even notice that
I'm sure that's not a coincidence
Yes, a shirt on top of his protective Mormon underwear and the test drive includes a drive on the 5 South where the Mormon Temple can clearly be seen in the background. Somehow it once again made it in the editing! Transparency, Douglas?!
But did you notice his shirt change around 19:03?
I see what you did there

@@Jako1987 one of the dumbest, purely corporate decisions ever & I call BS on the whole creator protection aspect
Passed by one today and they're huge. People say they look weak shyyt not in person not really they don't. So far toyota did pretty good with the redesign.
This truck is just full of creative work
Customers: " how many TRD labels do you need?"
Toyota : "Yes."
Sorry, was this a TRD Pro? I wasn’t sure!
These are what they hand out💩💩💩😝
The Tundra finally has a rear locking differential, and coilovers now come standard instead of leaf springs for rear suspension. This improves ride quality and off-road performance, while actually improving the towing rating from the last model. It looks like Toyota did this by strengthening the frame. The interior is a huge improvement from the outgoing model, and it has a massive sunroof. Climate controls are still buttons, and it even has heated and cooled front seats. Wireless charging too. The hybrid battery is the reason the rear seat storage is gone. The digital camo black trim is supposedly a new inexpensive, easy to replace material used in damage prone areas, like fender flares and rear bumper panels by the tow hitch. Doug did not really emphasize any of this. We have asked for more power and better fuel economy for years, and it's finally here. He did not even highlight the new 10 speed transmission? Massive improvement over the outgoing 6 speed. All of this with Toyota reliability. The tundra has never been more competitive, but this review seemed negative. The only downsides I saw were the missing front recovery hook (aftermarket fix), lack of rear storage, and no generator function like the F150 powerboost. Is there room for improvement? Definitely. That being said, I think Doug really misunderstood the value proposition of the TRD Pro model. This review was not nearly as detailed as his other recent reviews, which is a shame because there was so much content left un-discussed.
His research isnt the greatest ive noticed that in alot of videos, the v8s were also the maxforce, its not like they are overselling the v6 thats just what they have always called the motor in this truck, and i get what you are saying, if he knew what he was talking about he would understand that Toyota feels like the bumber step and tailgate steps are gimmicks to compensate. The tundra has always been like this and still sold well and the biggest point is they run forever and will still hold their value, which is what has always been this trucks selling point not bumper steps…
Great write up!
So basically your excited that this Brand new model offers nothing even remotely innovative as damn near all of what you mentioned you can find on a 2 yr old used Ford or Ram...
You wanted Doug to love Toyota for catching up to the other brands? All the features you’ve mentioned have already been out for years with other trucks. They’ve been so far behind for years it’s not really impressive that they finally have better power and fuel economy like the rest.
@@xspower21 im just talking about the lack of research, the lower trim actually does come with storage under the back seat, and the bumper step.
"so let's get started... before i get started"
🤣 0:25
Seems like they could have installed recovery hooks with doors in front of them that stay closed until you need to use the hooks. Or make the whole panel flip up to reveal the hooks.
I can’t believe Doug didn’t mention anything about the composite bed new to Tundra. Doug is the kind of guy who carries one knee pad around with him for vehicle reviews. That’s quirky..
Classic LOL
There’s actually 2 knee pads cuz you know comfort like 2 shirts he always wear.
The bed is so small he missed it
Because the bed isn't composite? The bed is Aluminum.
@@Steve-yr5vi Google.......The 2022 Toyota Tundra's bed isn't made from pure steel or aluminum. Instead, the new truck makes use of Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) sheets. It gets extra strength from aluminum cross members within the bed as well.Sep 26, 2021
im so glad our understanding of aerodynamics is reaching a point where we no longer have to compromise car design
Except they omitted front hooks for “aerodynamics” 😂
It's totally worth saving extra fuel, I'm never going to get stuck, and definitely want this truck.
Please explain this to Lucid.
@@paldri thats just marketing speak. The tow hooks probably got lost on the kanban board just like the ability to control the 360 camera
Great video...the camo that is referenced is actually tire tread marks that are know in off road. Overall pretty good video
Never knew about this, until now. I like it.
I'm gonna miss the roar of the iforce, it was one of the best sounding stock v8s in a truck
The Nissan vk56 also had a nice roar to it too. Shame the truck its in is subpar.
That's the roar of the fuel leaving the tank haha. In all seriousness, it's a great engine and it's a shame it's gone for the Tundra
I swear these past few videos have been almost god tier I bet the closer we get to the new year the better they’ll get which is crazy
Welcome to Dougcember my friend
Jesus Christ calm tf down
@@arcane6656 I just subscribed earlier this year so this will be my first dougcember!
@@Cameronb.1026 me too
@@Cameronb.1026 Excited for you man!
Very thorough enumeration of the badging.
Such a nice truck. Personally, I love the digital camo accents.
This truck looks like something a high schooler being introduced to CAD would produce.
It’s like the first gen Tundra. A Japanese guy who’s never been to America said “I’ll design a truck that looks like the trucks in America!”
Clicks grille, scrolls mouse wheel to enlarge and it expands way faster than expected.
@@adamboyle3331 Even the first gen tundra looks better than the new toyota
The design looks like they copied most styling from the new Sierra. I can’t stand the ever growing bigger is better mantra with pickups. That grille is hideous. I love Toyotas, just not any built in the last 15 years. Their priorities have changed. They sold out. Same as Honda.
Reminds me of a cartoon truck on the cover of a kids book about trucks.
The regular Tundra has a step in the rear bumper. Also the rear seat does have storage with the regular iforce engine.
Yeah it makes sense for this one. Hybrid batteries need a place to be
@@DeathProductions200 Yup, doug really doesn't mention the common stuff all he cares about is the "quirky" stuff. Which is why he is more of an "entertainment" show and not a true review of a car. I would NEVER buy a car he recommends, lol!!
@@ctk4949 to be fair, I love quirks in vehicles. Like, the tundra with the hybrid engine. I love the fact that are pushing a different tech for full sized trucks. But I think losing the practicality of the pickup isn't necessarily a good thing.
I need a practical vehicle which is unfortunately why I don't necessarily like the vehicles Doug recommends a lot of the time. I enjoy the content cause he does do reviews of some interesting things we wouldn't really notice, and still mentions some practicality like the tdr pro not having steps in the rear bumper
Another downfall is no auto AWD. It has the old fashioned 4 wheel drive with hopping and skipping when wheels turned as driving. I’m gonna pass on it and wait for the 22 Raptor.
th-cam.com/video/55SKWU0CAAA/w-d-xo.html
Love these new tundras thinking about getting one ordered
"TOYOTA, let's go places." pops in my mind every time i see a Tundra/Tacoma.
I'm not even a truck guy, but you're right about the hooks. Every other truck is doing those now.
Because of "aerodynamics"
My 1992 Silverado even had tow hooks lmao
I want someone to look at me like Doug looks at the back Window of a Tundra rolling down
I like your energy my man 🙌
Beautiful truck. I love engineering competition.
Regarding the front tow hooks, I can't see why they wouldn't be able to put plastic covers over them and have them embedded in the bumper body work. That really doesn't check out, sounds more like Toyota pinched pennies and are trying to come up with the excuse after
Tow hooks don'e make su much aerodynamic disturbance - see the competition, some mostly hidden in the bumper but still present.
The truth is, most "off road" people these days are more interested in light bars (included here) than actual the added function of front tow hooks. I'm not necessarily knocking it, but it's the truth.
Good review. But if you compare it to a Raptor in one area you should be consistent. This has a huge amount more towing/payload capacity over a Raptor.
Meh 2k pounds. If you want to tow, get an f150.
@@BAYAREAMX this relates to trim and weighing benefit vs shortcoming. The last time I checked a Raptor was an F150 and 2000lbs is 25% so nothing to sneeze at.
@@handyman2183 You guys do realize that the Raptor's offroad capabilities are what cause the lower towing and payload?
This Toyota is closer to a regular truck than a Raptor.
Softer suspension = better offroad capabilities but at the sacrifice of towing and payload.
Clearly, Ford can build a better towing truck considering they already build a truck with better towing.
Max 2021 Tundra towing capacity: 10,200 lbs
Max 2021 F-150 towing capacity: 14,000 lbs.
@@handyman2183 jeez I figured you were gonna do that. Let me rephrase that, if you want max towing capability, get a non raptor trim level F150. They out tow the tundra by over 2k pounds so yeah.
@@fordgtguy of course. It is also what causes the TRD Pro to have less capacity than an SR. It is closer to a Raptor off-roading than an SR is and closer to an SR capacity wise than a Raptor.
I think I’ll finally pull the trigger and get a new car from a dealership I’ve only bought used but this really caught my eye.
I Initially thought I wouldn't like the redesign and no V8, not to mention all this new tech, but it is growing on me. A little overkill on the "TRD PRO" (in my Doug voice)..and no tow hooks.. but cool BEAST
LOVE your reviews Doug, keeping doing what you're doing 🤘🏻
I wanna see Doug set up an offroad challenge between this and the Rivian -- with him driving both and declaring a winner.
Yeah through some backwater!
This is why you should always choose a black window trim instead of ‘chrome’ . Makes every color pop! And this is a beautiful color! Wow
Great video, you never dissappint Doug! Would you try a POV view while driving, I think that would be better:)
Doug, they actually have an optional electric power step to get in the rear.
Pay extra for a standard feature? Figures.
Should be standard.
Should be standard.
@@lawnmowerdude Should be standard.
Again another missed quirk Douglas
Ford GM and Ram are literally truck companies. The majority of their profits are from their trucks! Toyota is the leading car manufacturer globally and has the most diverse selection of cars, trucks and suv's compared to any brand. I'm really impressed by the new Tundra, I think they offer a lot of options like tailgate step up and backseat storage under the seats that you said they didn't. Though the 360 camera makes no sense hahaha. I come from a family of successful electrical and mechanical engineers and the reason most of us drive Toyota's and Honda's are because of how reliable they are. My only gripe with the old tundra was the bad fuel economy and lack of basic entertainment features and so I think they absolutely hit it out of the park with this new design. Again Toyota doesn't make the percentage of profit from trucks like all the American brands do, so I think this is exactly what most reliability-minded, Toyota enthusiasts were looking for. I'm definitely getting one!
The Tacoma is the most popular midsized truck by far. They make a decent portion of their profit from their trucks.
You don’t come from any family of electrical/mechanical engineers if you’re saying 360 camera makes no sense. Calm down potato:
@@ironmb86 love the 360 camera, but it's odd that you can't control it at all bub
Toyota has its weak spots in the reliability department just like anyone else
I love the toyota wording both on the dash and grill. Love that font!
Fantabulous video
14:32 I'm sure that's not carbon fiber, Doug. It's regular plastic.
Thank you for the metric conversions.
The part that's most concerning to me is the huge gaps in that front grill. I don't even want to think of the things that can get stuck behind there. Hopefully the aftermarket will address this with some kind of mesh insert.
I absolutely love Doug's enthusiasm
The tires and wheels look tiny in those squared off wheel wells.
I agree.
@@murayana2848 get that shit off of Doug's video
They're functional, you can get new wheels and tires if you want it to look better
they are tiny... 32 inch tires vs 34 or 37 in the raptor
10:13 Maybe it was the effect of being in the vicinity and even inside (not like that) the TRD Pro, but Doug's change of T-shirt from yellow to black at this point was truly phenomenal. Oscar-worthy performance. And then at 10:52, he wears the yellow T-shirt again! Wow. Just wow. Clap clap clap. Applause applause (end sarcasm)
I’m a sucker for black multi-cam. I think the camo scheme on the truck is awesome
The look on Doug's face while opening/closing that rear window....priceless!!
I was legit laughing out loud. 💀
Lmfao
7:45 imagine getting in a car accident and having "OYO" stamped to your forehead
Pretty sure that thing pops off to reveal the air bag
That’s funny as hell lol
Doug I can see that you are a Toyota fan how very excited you are
doug is always excited though
You drove this TRD pro in my hometown, San Diego. I wish i could have bumped into you on the road.
Doug you’re killing it with the new releases! Amazing times for new model releases and the move to pure EVs and hybrids basically doubles the offering.
Thisssss is the best Tundra so far!!!👌🏾🇺🇸
He does get good releases, but lately his early access has been lacking. For example yes, he got Rivian and the Land Rover early, but he used to get things way before everyone else. But Tundra reviews have been out for over a month, just like the Frontier that was shown off in the preview. But I guess he probably prioritizes more hyped vehicles over some others...
I might have to cash in on the bonkers and completely accidental appreciation of my ‘21 Tundra and pull the trigger on one of these… I must admit I’ll always be sad about the departure of the V8 - because simplicity and good noises - but this powertrain and the truck itself seems to make up for that pretty well. Also I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this being on the global Land Cruiser Series 300 platform. That’s insanely cool!
Good luck
its a toyota
you know its gonna last
I have a 21 lunar rock pro tundra and I've been contemplating it considering I bought it before the inflation at $51k out the door. I'll have to see it in person before I can make that choice.
But, am i losing my mind, that thing is soooooo ugly! I guess it's just me!
There's real no appreciation. You're trading dollar for dollar. Undoubtedly, the 2022's will be marked up big time. Good luck though and I hope you get deal you want. I'd wait at last one model year before I'll buy.
Doug! I love your reviews. Here are some synonyms for the word "cool": swell, amazing, boss, sublime, dandy, awesome, nifty, spectacular, chill and calm.
And here are some synonyms for the word "tough": rugged, hard, solid, tight, firm, durable, rigid, brawny, robust and rigid.
You´re welcome.
I like the way Doug points out all the little hidden features in the truck that you might miss if you go to the dealer to look at the truck yourself. I tell you out of the tons of people that review cars and truck's on TH-cam Doug does it the best.
5 ***** stars ***** 5
That face he makes every time he's explaining every single detail of a vehicle never gets old. 😁 🤣 😂
Yes! Been waiting for this review and did not disappoint! Looks great and definitely an upgrade from their previous edition that lasted way too long. Probably gonna wait for 2023 or 24 for the kinks to work themselves out and make my purchase! 🤘🏼
Brian how does downsizing from a V8 to a V6 make it an upgrade 🤔?
@@bc_usa he meant aesthetically as a pavement princess
I love the little trucks and SUVs on the center console storage 😂 I would like to know precisely which models they are 😅
Doug, I have noticed in a lot of recent reviews you don't really look at the moonroof/sunroof. It'd be nice to know the workings/setup of that feature.
Love that when I get into an accident Toyota would brand me like a prized bull.
BMW chassis engine not some much
I love how Toyota wants there truck to become a land mark when it gets stuck.
The other models have a step that comes down when you pop the tailgate. It's an option.
Also, watched a video where the engineer was interviewed. He basically said there goal was to get the low end grunt of a diesel without having to actually do a diesel. Sounds like they achieved it.
No kidding. More torque than my 12 valve, with 440 hp and 20mpg.
...Wow! :3
Yes. They studied the Ford EcoBoost for 12 years and copied it.
@@51AB You know... I'm not actually surprised at all.
Hopefully Toyota's version is more reliable! X3
@@jamesgizasson Haha. Actually I believe they tore apart BMW turbo engines to study them. Cheers!
@@51AB Well in THAT case, I'd say a boost in reliability is guaranteed! X3
Cheers! (clink)
nice truck but the lack of front-end recovery hooks is a deal-killer. can’t count the times we needed to use one or both
*This is awesome!*
I think this is more of a Ford Tremor and RAM Rebel competitor rather than a Raptor or TRX, especially the TRX. There aren't enough body changes or suspension changes. Plus this would he much cheaper than those 2, and you do have an automatic step that comes out but I don't think it is offered on the TRD Pro, I saw it on a 1794 and Platinum review
Exactly
Current pricing Trends on TRD Pro Models continue, this is likely looking to be around $65,000 or maybe even more. 4Runner TRD Pro sells for around $55,000. This is definitely not going to be price competitive with Ford, RAM, or General Motors with the ZR2 package on the Colorado.
Agreed. Not a Raptor or TRX fighter. It almost seems like he's trying to fan out over Toyota. If this was say a Silverado then he'd likely never call it a Raptor fighter. Don't get me wrong it's a nice truck, that I'm sure is very competent off road, but a Raptor is about the closest thing you can get to a street legal Baja truck, and I just don't see the new TRD PRO as being that extreme.
I'll go along with Doug claiming this is tough Raptor fighter when he claims that a Camaro SS 1LE is a tough 911 GT3 fighter. Bet you he won't do it.
For a second, I thought the exterior pieces with that digi-camo design were actually made of black packing Styrofoam.
look a bit like forged carbon fiber to me, from the distance. I like it tho
@@alpher3512 yeah, I thought this was an off-road vehicle with carbon fiber fender flares for a sec...
th-cam.com/video/55SKWU0CAAA/w-d-xo.html
I thought somebody did a horrible armor-all job
Even the Ford Maverick XLT has tow hooks. But, this is a top-of-the-line 80k flagship off-roader? If its mpg theyre concerned about, they should have added tow-hooks with plastic fairing covers that could be popped off.
I paid 69k. Then easily ordered hooks. Still have room to build it instead of can't aFord shop repair Craptor
I was dead set on one of these until I drove the powerboost f150, there is no comparison in the research and development Ford was able to pump out on these new trucks. I now own a XLT FX4 Powerboost.
Been waiting for this video since the truck was announced 🙌
6:50 doug lookin funny in the reflection
Wish it had 4 automatic mode. It’s awfully handy in the winter.
I think this truck is going to make the raptor even more popular than it is…there’s no way dealers aren’t gonna take advantage of hiking up what will most likely be a70k msrp
Damn I just bought a Tacoma and now I'm in love with this truck, maybe if prices keep going on used Tacomas I can sell it for more than I bought it a for and buy a Tundra.
It's probably worth more already
You will be able to. My 2018 Tacoma is worth more than what I bought it for. And I bought when it was a year old
Which is ridiculous. The truck isn't that good to be the same price
@@Charliefox71 Market is insane right now! If the dealership offers to pay off my financing on my Tacoma I might upgrade if the markup on the new Tundras aren't insane.
My 2021 TRD OR tacoma is worth about 5-7k more now than when I bought it in February.
Toyota never gives up on a engine R&D. They have been working on this engine variant with the Gs450h as far back as the rx400h. I love Toyota
My 2017 Rav4 2.5L is at least 30 years old
Oh what a feeling...
I wonder how much R&D they put into the Supra's engine 🤔 lol... Just sayin 🤷🏾♂️

Just bought the 2022 Tundra TRD. I have been driving carefully the first 500 miles, kept my lead foot off the pedal, the combined MPG is only 15 so far. Will update soon.
The missing features seem like another example of an auto maker planning for the mid-cycle refresh. Maybe planning for it is better than slapping in some not thought through options down the road?
The Tundra does have the same standard storage as your standard truck under the rear seats unless you get the iforce max as that is where the battery is
And makes it more difficult to transport dogs. Same reason I'm not considering a Rivian R1T as well.
I kind of feel that toyota/lexus as of late have been super safe with their outgoing cars. Maybe they're making sure the features they add will last years with no reliability issues before equipping their vehicles with it?
That's the Toyota philosophy. And why us Toyota owners love them!
which is why I will always prefer Toyota/Lexus over any other brand which I intend to daily drive.
@David Soward The Apple of vehicles is Tesla
@@derekotero7935 LOL no. Tesla isn't THAT great like people make it seem to be.
@David Soward I would say Toyota is more the Nokia of the car world, simple, durable, reliable, easy to use, and won't die
Doug, hooks in the front are used to get pulled. This BMF is no getting stuck or breaking down anywhere.
So question. Doug did not mention this at all and I'd like more info on it. How does the hybrid system work? I'm assuming you have to plug something in to charge it? And is it always active if there is a charge? What if it's not charged? Or you don't wanna use it? I haven't seen any info about this anywhere. Anyone have any insight?
I love this new Tundra! I like the “camo” look on the seats, but it is a little much on the exterior trim lol. I am also excited about this powertrain!
@@yungboicontigo9278 I am so with you.....the interior looks like it came right out of a clearance rack at autozone....they do this with all their TRDs...hate the red stitching, horrible logos and how unbelievably tacky it all is.
the camo is like a reminder of all the victim that died in all those wars american crates like petrol control.
