The tundra interior is actually smaller than the previous model. The tundra is overall smaller in width but longer in length. The tundra bed height is actually shorter. The tundra also have a wider urning radius. Very sad for folks that don’t know.
Great review! Informative but not boring to watch like so many others. Question. You guys commented how you are big dudes but sit low in the cabin. I'm nowhere near 6'3" and don't like sitting low. Is there sufficient height adjustment in the seats to compensate for that?
Part of the appeal of the V8 isn't just the history and torque, it's the simplicity & cost of ownership. Simple to maintain, parts are cheap. I'm sure eventually avg mechanics will be used to working on hybrid systems, but as of now it's uncharted territory for many of them, so it'd be off to the dealership for many if problems were to arise. EDIT: That being said, it looks like a great truck, and I'm sure this new engine is reliable & awesome. New territory is worrisome for many.
It's off to the dealership for the V8s now. Without specialized programmers, the pop style garage, shade tree, and small business mechanic don't have certain software access.
@@gigi9467 I agree, but it probably won't, lol. Most people don't care, they're not enthusiasts, and basically what I think it boils down to is if you have money to spend 40k new on a truck you have money to take it to the dealership.
I feel like I'm being sold a high end 6.5 Creedmoor mid-length adjustable gas piston AR with a fancy red dot, when all I want is a reliable .308 bolt action with a scope...
Coming from a 5.7 tundra this next gen is actually impressive. This new era truck of advanced tech proves ‘ there is replacement for displacement ‘ all while being more efficiently. Smart move toyota.
That blue paint is incredible. The black interior head liner is perfect with the black seats. Very Audi like. The big cab with the big bed is super useful. The front end on this model is very aggressive.
Of the several prominent vehicle review TH-cam channels I'm subscribed to, you guys got the new Tundra first, so congrats on that. Also, excellent reviews. I like the information and delivery you both present. It feels guided but unique every time. Some channels are great, but follow a very strict template. Maybe I shouldn't rely on them as my sole source of entertainment but as a source of information. EverydayDriver just feels good to watch, like the early years of the Speed Channel. Anyway, great work guys, keep it up.
I know 2 people personally who have the prior generation tundra. Both have 300k miles and both are going strong. I asked them today about maintenance, each needed an alternator and a water pump. One needed a new driver seat due to ware. That’s it. One will be replaced this year with a 2021 model year that was ordered specifically because they are afraid of the reliability of the new truck. If any manufacturer can make the twin turbov6 8+ speed trans reliable it’s Toyota. I hope it’s good.
Still not sold on the large screens in modern vehicles. That alone is enough to keep me buying used. Not to mention that they are dropping the V8. Twin turbo a V8, or supercharge it, then ill consider it

Guys - did you notice any turbo lag in the non-hybrid model? That is a big gripe I have with the F150 Ecoboost. Also, which trim levels had the driver's side thigh extender?
I’ve owned 2 Tundras over the years having a 2005 Limited and now a 2016 Limited. Love my V8 and not concerned about gas mileage as 5.7 has been trouble free . Seeing the issues with the 2022 on U-Tube is concerning which will make me take the wait and see attitude before pulling the trigger on a new truck.🤔
Two knowledgeable guys talking about a truck. I enjoyed the dialogue. Straightforward and doesn’t sound like you’re selling your channel. New subscriber, keep up the great work!!
Designed by Legos. Anyway, no replacement for displacement also has to do with mean time between failure. That V6 will have to run harder to make that horsepower and torque, than a V8 would, so liable to break down sooner, especially with the added turbos and related systems.
Nonsense. This engine literally makes more torque at a lower rpm range than the V8. I love the 3UR-FE, it's a stout reliable engine but when you say "no replacement for displacement" i would tell you there is, it's called technology. For perspective I have a 1998 Toyota Supra with the original turbos at 157k miles and they have zero issues. The turbos that came on my car are archaic compared to turbos now. Turbo technology is vastly superior than the turbos that came in my car.
@@mgmcd1 exactly my point. Turbos now have much better technology with how they dissipate heat, etc. For example i have to idle my turbos when i put a strain on them before i turn the car off, turbos now continue circulating oil and water to them even after the engine is shut off. Things like ball bearings, journal bearings, turbos now are just vastly superior and anyone who doesn't think that has never owned a turbo car. But if your comment about payload/towing has anything to go with straining the turbos believe me, I've turned the boost up on my turbos and have put significant strain on them for 12 years in the time I've owned the car.
@@jza80king it’s a simple issue of how much of its run time must a system (any system) run near peak or higher capacities. With a Supra, you are over engined, so you don’t have to flog the motor just to move the vehicle. The Tundra is 6k pounds or so, hauling another 12k pounds at some points in its life. Okay, so most owners will just drive them like cars, but that’s a different issue. How long do you think your Supra motor would last hauling a few thousand extra pounds everywhere? This is basic system engineering.
And it is not merely total system horsepower and torque. It is how much more the system must work to develop that output. A NA v8 can do that level with little to no problem. A diesel can do it even easier.
Now does it have power adjustable pedals? I ask because I’m short. And all the American trucks do, Ford even has it where it’s an option you can add on to any trim level F-150.
The v6 may or may not be close to the v8. The v8 was not all about power. Its that you buy an expensive truck and the engine can go 400 k to a million miles. The new v6 might not be good. The new bmws suck and fail. The porsche m96 has 4 ways it will fail and cost 18 to 30 grand to fix at 85 k miles. So the stupid numbers who cares. Its about lasting 500 thousand miles and being reliable.. turbos dont last very long.
Excellent review! My first owned vehicle when I was 17 yrs old back in 1980 was a 1977 Toyota mini pickup. Toyota sure has improved their trucks since then! The tundra looks like a great comfortable road trip vehicle. I love the roof glass with the electric shade and the rear sliding electeic glass window. Im not a fan of the huge front grill but overall the Tundra looks good. Cheers!
The big cabin space really appeals to me. I had a 1999 GMC Yukon years ago and I still miss how huge it was. But, can a 6'3 person really sit in the back row? You only touched on the rear seat in the video and sounded OK but I've seen shorter reviewers say headroom isn't great. Is there a sunroof delete option? Maybe that might help.
Our guys are 6’3” and we’re quite impressed with the space. Note the shot of Todd in the back with his legs crossed (and drivers seat in his driving position). As mentioned, headroom only works because there’s a cutout directly above the rear seats, but it does work. Thanks for watching!
I mean jeez at least give us the option. It’s not so much the 6 cylinder I’m concerned about, it’s that I don’t like my pickup trucks getting their power squeezed in by 2 turbos as if I bought a truck to do quarter mile runs and only put 1000 miles a year on it max and only run it for an hour at a time like turbos prefer. But either way I don’t like the 6 cyl turbo engine only that they’re offering, at least offer a naturally aspirated engine, preferably a v8, for buyers who want their truck to actually do truck things for decades without having to replace freaking turbos or head gaskets or whatever
Looks like there's actually head room in this one? My father in law has a Platinum Tundra and I can't fit at 6'6. My head is in the ceiling, it's miserable for a vehicle that big. Glad to see they addressed that.
So what is the gas mileage? Is the gain in mileage worth the headache of the added expensive technology? Gotta be honest, I don’t like the way it looks. It looks like a Tonka Toy. My 4Runner looks much better. This whole aggressive grill thing that everyone seems to be doing, with the exception of Dodge isn’t working for me.
"I'm so enthralled with the system I forgot to steer" 🤣 shows just how good this Toyota is. I drove a 2018 Hilux which is still very good BUT i definitely will trade mine for this new Tundra. Too bad its not on sale in this part of the world
I dislike Toyotas high dash. They even have it in the Tacoma. You can’t see anything and it’s pointless. Trucks are high so you can see and if the dash is all the way up it’s like looking though a port hole.
Wasn't sure about the styling at first. But it's really grown on me fast! Unlike previous gens, which looked like F150 pretenders. This new Tundra looks uniquely Toyota.
I hope that crawl control dial is water proof since every owners coffee is going to be hanging over and dripping right on/ into it. Why would they put the cup holders less than a quarter inch from complex electronics
6:45 exactly. Theyve been building mass-production hybrids since the first prius came out and theyve been doing modern V6 engines since the GR series came out. If anything, its the turbo im worried about. They have bulletproof turbodiesels, but turbopetrols im not so sure. I mean, most of the turbopetrols that toyota built before this are usually reserved for their Lexus lineups afterall. But now theyre turbocharging almost everything, right down to 1liter 3cyl engines for their Asian market small crossovers and hatch.
I am very much looking forward to seeing the reliability of this powertrain. I'm not too concerned about the hybrid component...Toyota's seem to have that technology nailed down. But say what you will about the old gas-guzzling power-lacking 5.7L i-Force V8... it is as bulletproof indestructible as their old 4.7L (2UZ-FE) engine is/was. As much as I love the Ford Ecoboost V6 engines for power delivery & "decent" fuel economy... they are horribly unreliable by the time you get near 150k miles. I am a service manager at an independent shop and it seems every V6 Ecoboost (2.7L & 3.5L) engine needs new turbos before they hit 50k. Combine that with cam phaser & timing chain issues.... they're a nightmare. I know this engine has been used in a variation for a few years on the new Lexus LS500 and I haven't heard or seen any common issues yet but there's just not enough of them on the road with high enough mileages to get an accurate impression. I hope so though. It's an impressive powertrain w/ great potential to be used in many other applications in various forms & iterations. Great review gentlemen! Always watch your reviews and appreciate your thoroughness & insight.
You mentioned cam phasers in the 2.7 and 3.5 well I own a 3.5 in the explorer and the phasers has honestly been a headache to the point where I gave up and replaced the engine. My 2007 tundra 5.7 has been basically indestructible so far. If I buy the new tundra i will definitely keep mr reliable.
Toyota designed that V8 to be able to do 1 million+ miles, I'm sure the new drive-train combo was tested enough to prove to them that it will be about as reliable as the out-going engine before it was approved for production.
It’s impossible, it’s more moving components all of which are under way more stress and pressure to try and perform the same task, it simply can not happen
Paul.. toyota proved nothing with 5 hp. Low tech is better in a lot of applications. You have some crank angle or internal sensor fail that costs 5 grand to fix. And the stupid mileage becomes nothing.
Hey great review, I felt the "new truck" excitement coming through. Question on the cabin; I'm coming from a Range Rover sport and wondering how the cabin isolation compares and what is the ride like? Do you need to get the Platinum with adaptive suspension for smoothness or do all the builds have a good ride?
The ride is improved for all the Tundras because they went away from leaf springs in the rear. But, it's still doesn't have the independent rear suspension which your Ranger Rover probably does. No solid rear axle truck can ride as well as something with an independent rear, so it depends on your preferences and needs. Cabin insulation isn't to Range Rover standards, but few things are. We encourage you to drive one and see what you think. It's a big improvement over the last in cabin refinement, but not to luxury SUV standards. Thanks for watching!
@@FishFind3000 no true, there was an entire video done by Toyota engineering that describes their TT engine and how it was tested to over 3 millions miles which translates to real world over 1m miles....
@@JattAnmoli fords eco boosts are less efficient than their v8s, for example. Turbo charged engines are proven no more efficient. They have to work the little engines 3 times as hard to do the same thing a bigger engine can with hardly any strain. Much more energy needed for the little motors. More energy equals less efficient. Big v8 can do things with little energy which equals good efficiency and longevity. High stress and strain is not a formula for reliability and longevity or fuel efficiency, it’s a bunch of bs what the epa is doing
I love the 2022 Toyota Tundra, it’s very nice! I can’t wait for the all electric Toyota Tundra to come out, can y’all review the all electric Chevy Silverado when it comes out? I have cerebral palsy I use a walker and wheelchair! I love electric cars
The biggest problem I have with the tundra is the stupid 3 foot wide console. There goes my ability to sit with room and comfort. With a truck the console is just an idiot box. When the truck does not fit large men its a expensive rav 4 cause the seating is the same
Auto back up allows people that cant drive a chance to damage a car and a boat or trailer. The thinking how awesome for people that cant drive. Is the same as the automatic and lane assist and traction control and auto braking and on and on. This will yield a disney ride you cant turn off the auto functions ever.. for safety. Great plan if you hate driving and want no vehicles that require driving.
Looks like a whole bunch of complicated tech and mechanicals to break and go wrong. I'm going to guess that when it does have issues the only one that will be able to figure out what is wrong with it will be the dealer and it's computers. How about a Truck that is actual for work and not a fashion statement. Imagine you will see a lot of these in the suburbs sitting next to the wife's 4X4 crossover that only goes to the store.
Sadly, you've just described 90% of the truck market and truck buyers. They are high riding luxury cars first with tow-capacity bragging rights. Some people use them for work, but that's not the first group they are built for anymore. Thanks for watching!
So working trucks are no longer affordable. They are all starbucks lot trucks. My truck is not a fashion statement.. it works for a living. I dont want to budget for ten speed transmission repairs and turbos. Lets keep making stuff more complex and expensive with worse mileage until nobody can buy them
Not really interested in trucks, especially these days with their massive bulk and obnoxious hyper-aggressive styling, too many truck buyers are just wasting resources with an underutilized fashion statement...respect to those who use their trucks, I know you're out there too. But all that said this is one of your best reviews I can remember, your conversation, the balance of facts, personal takes, and just humor/sidechat is great in this one. And yes let's stop encouraging people to never learn how to drive with these crutch technologies! Backing a trailer is a real skill.
We're not truck buyers either, but we do understand they have their place. Thank you for watching and we're glad to hear you enjoyed this one so much - thanks for the encouragement!
No gentleman! Skynet is coming for a reason. I will happily trade my freedom as a slave to the technology future, in order to allow a computer to unload my boat safely. Skynet, I need an e mail address to send you the addresses of my heavily armed friends?
Toyota ruined the grille, if it were not Toyota turbos it would be trash. Still not the V-8. Price is up, time will tell if it is up to Toyota quality.
@@mikes.6139 it's still a...... Japanese company and its the ....... first it looks American... soooooo.. idk. Btw, knowing where a God awful tundra is built is the last thing on the face of the earth I care about knowing.
That exhaust sounds like a Camry's. Too bad. Tundra V8 was a great engine. Well this is a truck you graduate to from a Ridgeline. A great truck still lives. With RAM HEMI, GM lionheart 6.2 liter twins, and The magnificent F150 Coyote. Leave this Toyota to these guys that like four cylinder turbo porsches.
We still think the RAM makes the best truck right now but we were pleased to see Toyota updating the Tundra. Yes, the Tundra V8 was a great engine, and we acknowledged that loss here. What's really confounding to us is somehow equating driving fun with the number of cylinders. Fun driving experiences can be found with engines of all sizes. Thanks for watching!
Guys when you will pull your tongue from toyota... uhmm.. can you stop praising and do honest review please? We all know that in real life twin turbo v6 is worse than 5.7 v8 in terms of power and reliability. Turbo lag is huge. Also as far as mpgs goes it will not do better than v8 when you tow. Plus according to toyota you have to use premium fuel when you tow with new v6 so you it will cost you more money to tow with v6 than with v8. It would be nice if vloggers would stop being so kiss/love to manufacturers because of fear not being invited for next new thing presentations
We mentioned concerns over the loss of the V8, as well as issues with no real MPG benefit. Turbo lag wasn’t an issue during our time with the truck. Reliability was mentioned as well, but in this case the V6 is an unknown in the long term and the V8 is known. We are glad to see a new generation of the Tundra - and as a brand new truck is was good (unsurprisingly) but not perfect, as nothing is. No way to know long term reliability yet. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy a good V8 as much as the next man but have you tried modern turbos? The torque comes on way sooner and they pull hard. Going back to NA V8 after it feels lethargic. Reliability wise NA all day but we live in a world of EPA rules and I'll trust a Toyota turbo over any other brand.
@@FishFind3000 hah yea the new chevys are hideous, thought maybe they’d grow on me over time but nope, still hideous. It’d be tough to beat the ugliness of the chevys without making a valiant stride in doing so
If you are a new owner of a truck with a backup assist system then you have no incentive to learn how to backup, and thus never will. Hand a kid a paper map. It's scary.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy let’s not forget about Nissan, I strongly dislike Nissan but, I have to give credit where it’s due, the 5.6 in the titan is quite the freight train of a motor. Anyone in the market for a non American v8 truck that would’ve went tundra will be giving there business over to Nissan now if they still don’t want to give the 3 “American” (not actually American because they’re all built in Mexico or Canada to some large extent) trucks a chance
That is one ugly truck. Like a bad kid's toy only bigger. And what kind of "car" guys are you if you're getting wet over fake engine noise and a v6 in a full size truck. But hey it has a big screen. Technical muscle is a fail

Our guys are 6’3” and we’re quite impressed with the space. Note the shot of Todd in the back with his legs crossed (and drivers seat in his driving position). As mentioned, headroom only works because there’s a cutout directly above the rear seats, but it does work. Thanks for watching!
It's a tundra not a Tacoma, it should have a v8. 6 bangers don't belong in trucks unless they're Ina straight line
I mean jeez at least give us the option. It’s not so much the 6 cylinder I’m concerned about, it’s that I don’t like my pickup trucks getting their power squeezed in by 2 turbos as if I bought a truck to do quarter mile runs and only put 1000 miles a year on it max and only run it for an hour at a time like turbos prefer. But either way I don’t like the 6 cyl turbo engine only that they’re offering, at least offer a naturally aspirated engine, preferably a v8, for buyers who want their truck to actually do truck things for decades without having to replace freaking turbos or head gaskets or whatever
Looks like there's actually head room in this one? My father in law has a Platinum Tundra and I can't fit at 6'6. My head is in the ceiling, it's miserable for a vehicle that big. Glad to see they addressed that.
I had a 2016 f350 platinum and with the seat as low as it would go I still had to tilt my head to keep from rubbing the roof. I’m only 6’0 too.
So what is the gas mileage? Is the gain in mileage worth the headache of the added expensive technology?
Gotta be honest, I don’t like the way it looks. It looks like a Tonka Toy. My 4Runner looks much better. This whole aggressive grill thing that everyone seems to be doing, with the exception of Dodge isn’t working for me.
Dodge doesn't make trucks.
Don't mess with Texas. And don't mess with Tundra made in Texas.
Toyota turn signals sound like manic ping pong 🏓
Beautiful Tundra.
"I'm so enthralled with the system I forgot to steer" 🤣 shows just how good this Toyota is. I drove a 2018 Hilux which is still very good BUT i definitely will trade mine for this new Tundra. Too bad its not on sale in this part of the world
I wonder what the person who will wreck one of these first is doing at the moment?
🤔 great question. I hope it's not me.
I dislike Toyotas high dash. They even have it in the Tacoma. You can’t see anything and it’s pointless. Trucks are high so you can see and if the dash is all the way up it’s like looking though a port hole.
Agreed. Hated how I felt so low in my Tacoma, felt like driving a car, not a truck
Wasn't sure about the styling at first. But it's really grown on me fast! Unlike previous gens, which looked like F150 pretenders. This new Tundra looks uniquely Toyota.
0:13 looks like one of the guys left their laptop on the dashboard!
I hope that crawl control dial is water proof since every owners coffee is going to be hanging over and dripping right on/ into it. Why would they put the cup holders less than a quarter inch from complex electronics
love this truck
Great review! I’m pretty excited about this truck and the hybrid power train. I am also curious if a PHEV Tundra (Prime) is coming?
6:45 exactly. Theyve been building mass-production hybrids since the first prius came out and theyve been doing modern V6 engines since the GR series came out.
If anything, its the turbo im worried about. They have bulletproof turbodiesels, but turbopetrols im not so sure. I mean, most of the turbopetrols that toyota built before this are usually reserved for their Lexus lineups afterall. But now theyre turbocharging almost everything, right down to 1liter 3cyl engines for their Asian market small crossovers and hatch.
I am very much looking forward to seeing the reliability of this powertrain. I'm not too concerned about the hybrid component...Toyota's seem to have that technology nailed down. But say what you will about the old gas-guzzling power-lacking 5.7L i-Force V8... it is as bulletproof indestructible as their old 4.7L (2UZ-FE) engine is/was. As much as I love the Ford Ecoboost V6 engines for power delivery & "decent" fuel economy... they are horribly unreliable by the time you get near 150k miles. I am a service manager at an independent shop and it seems every V6 Ecoboost (2.7L & 3.5L) engine needs new turbos before they hit 50k. Combine that with cam phaser & timing chain issues.... they're a nightmare. I know this engine has been used in a variation for a few years on the new Lexus LS500 and I haven't heard or seen any common issues yet but there's just not enough of them on the road with high enough mileages to get an accurate impression. I hope so though. It's an impressive powertrain w/ great potential to be used in many other applications in various forms & iterations. Great review gentlemen! Always watch your reviews and appreciate your thoroughness & insight.
Thanks for watching. Yes, we are curious to see what long term ownership reveals on this new Tundra. Glad to have you with us!
You mentioned cam phasers in the 2.7 and 3.5 well I own a 3.5 in the explorer and the phasers has honestly been a headache to the point where I gave up and replaced the engine. My 2007 tundra 5.7 has been basically indestructible so far. If I buy the new tundra i will definitely keep mr reliable.
Toyota designed that V8 to be able to do 1 million+ miles, I'm sure the new drive-train combo was tested enough to prove to them that it will be about as reliable as the out-going engine before it was approved for production.
Or be like the 3.0 they made for the 4 runner, utter pile of shit
It’s impossible, it’s more moving components all of which are under way more stress and pressure to try and perform the same task, it simply can not happen
Paul.. toyota proved nothing with 5 hp.
Low tech is better in a lot of applications. You have some crank angle or internal sensor fail that costs 5 grand to fix. And the stupid mileage becomes nothing.
Hey great review, I felt the "new truck" excitement coming through.
Question on the cabin; I'm coming from a Range Rover sport and wondering how the cabin isolation compares and what is the ride like? Do you need to get the Platinum with adaptive suspension for smoothness or do all the builds have a good ride?
The ride is improved for all the Tundras because they went away from leaf springs in the rear. But, it's still doesn't have the independent rear suspension which your Ranger Rover probably does. No solid rear axle truck can ride as well as something with an independent rear, so it depends on your preferences and needs. Cabin insulation isn't to Range Rover standards, but few things are. We encourage you to drive one and see what you think. It's a big improvement over the last in cabin refinement, but not to luxury SUV standards. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha. Love that you both did 'The Voice' at the end
You get the V8 for durability and simplicity. Hard to believe a TT V6 will be as durable and reliable.
It won’t be but epa is forcing everyone to
@@FishFind3000 no true, there was an entire video done by Toyota engineering that describes their TT engine and how it was tested to over 3 millions miles which translates to real world over 1m miles....
The v6 tt hybrid will save you tons of money to the pojnt you can buy a whole new engine after a
100k miles in gas money savings.
@@JattAnmoli fords eco boosts are less efficient than their v8s, for example. Turbo charged engines are proven no more efficient. They have to work the little engines 3 times as hard to do the same thing a bigger engine can with hardly any strain. Much more energy needed for the little motors. More energy equals less efficient. Big v8 can do things with little energy which equals good efficiency and longevity. High stress and strain is not a formula for reliability and longevity or fuel efficiency, it’s a bunch of bs what the epa is doing
@@notasolution not true and this isnt a ford. Hybrid will get 25 mpg
I love the 2022 Toyota Tundra, it’s very nice! I can’t wait for the all electric Toyota Tundra to come out, can y’all review the all electric Chevy Silverado when it comes out? I have cerebral palsy I use a walker and wheelchair! I love electric cars
Not the V6 😂😭
BEEEEEG CHUK
The biggest problem I have with the tundra is the stupid 3 foot wide console. There goes my ability to sit with room and comfort. With a truck the console is just an idiot box. When the truck does not fit large men its a expensive rav 4 cause the seating is the same
Really excited for this truck to hit showroom floors!
Grill is ugly(imo) The lines are too square on the thing. Everything is square...
Auto back up allows people that cant drive a chance to damage a car and a boat or trailer.
The thinking how awesome for people that cant drive. Is the same as the automatic and lane assist and traction control and auto braking and on and on. This will yield a disney ride you cant turn off the auto functions ever.. for safety. Great plan if you hate driving and want no vehicles that require driving.
20:28 rev limiter bouncing?!?
11:42 The seats are built for massive people.....Welcome to Texas!
Welcome to the USA!
19:40 you still care about the gearing since more gears in a lower speed is better for hauling and towing
Looks like a whole bunch of complicated tech and mechanicals to break and go wrong. I'm going to guess that when it does have issues the only one that will be able to figure out what is wrong with it will be the dealer and it's computers. How about a Truck that is actual for work and not a fashion statement. Imagine you will see a lot of these in the suburbs sitting next to the wife's 4X4 crossover that only goes to the store.
Sadly, you've just described 90% of the truck market and truck buyers. They are high riding luxury cars first with tow-capacity bragging rights. Some people use them for work, but that's not the first group they are built for anymore. Thanks for watching!
So working trucks are no longer affordable. They are all starbucks lot trucks.
My truck is not a fashion statement.. it works for a living. I dont want to budget for ten speed transmission repairs and turbos.
Lets keep making stuff more complex and expensive with worse mileage until nobody can buy them
@@cayman9873 Done!!
wait i kinda dig the southern accent review lol
Is it just me or does the back look like it's sagging?
It is just you.
Not really interested in trucks, especially these days with their massive bulk and obnoxious hyper-aggressive styling, too many truck buyers are just wasting resources with an underutilized fashion statement...respect to those who use their trucks, I know you're out there too. But all that said this is one of your best reviews I can remember, your conversation, the balance of facts, personal takes, and just humor/sidechat is great in this one. And yes let's stop encouraging people to never learn how to drive with these crutch technologies! Backing a trailer is a real skill.
We're not truck buyers either, but we do understand they have their place. Thank you for watching and we're glad to hear you enjoyed this one so much - thanks for the encouragement!
You dont care if its manufactures noise ? Bye bye
I smell FORD coming from this TUNDRA. Lol
I was thinking the same, it's alot like 2021 f150
No v8? Lol
Thats not a truck no matter how big it is sorry.
You say made for massive people. But you dont have 3 or 4 inches on each side of you. Todd there are a lot of people 6 or 8 inches wider than you.
I'm sorry, it's fugly.... Competes with the #beaverteef IMO
No gentleman! Skynet is coming for a reason. I will happily trade my freedom as a slave to the technology future, in order to allow a computer to unload my boat safely. Skynet, I need an e mail address to send you the addresses of my heavily armed friends?
What the F is wrong with you???
No thank you.
A review of a truck by people who have never owned a truck.. GTFO
Can you get another car in the bed of that?
Toyota ruined the grille, if it were not Toyota turbos it would be trash. Still not the V-8. Price is up, time will tell if it is up to Toyota quality.
I dont think long term it will be reasonable cost wise to own or repair
When they got rid of the long bed the tundra became pointless. Just buy a taco.
That blueprint color is killer looking!
Why are Toyota trying to be American? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It was designed, built, and had its parts all made in Texas.. GMC and Ford has parts made in Mexico.
Ignorant much?
@@mikes.6139 it's still a...... Japanese company and its the ....... first it looks American... soooooo.. idk. Btw, knowing where a God awful tundra is built is the last thing on the face of the earth I care about knowing.
That exhaust sounds like a Camry's. Too bad. Tundra V8 was a great engine. Well this is a truck you graduate to from a Ridgeline.
A great truck still lives. With RAM HEMI, GM lionheart 6.2 liter twins, and The magnificent F150 Coyote.
Leave this Toyota to these guys that like four cylinder turbo porsches.
We still think the RAM makes the best truck right now but we were pleased to see Toyota updating the Tundra. Yes, the Tundra V8 was a great engine, and we acknowledged that loss here.
What's really confounding to us is somehow equating driving fun with the number of cylinders. Fun driving experiences can be found with engines of all sizes. Thanks for watching!
This truck is horrible
Beauuuutiful Beast❤️🔥
Toyota entering the 2015 truck game 👏👏
It's so so so bad...
Guys when you will pull your tongue from toyota... uhmm.. can you stop praising and do honest review please? We all know that in real life twin turbo v6 is worse than 5.7 v8 in terms of power and reliability. Turbo lag is huge. Also as far as mpgs goes it will not do better than v8 when you tow. Plus according to toyota you have to use premium fuel when you tow with new v6 so you it will cost you more money to tow with v6 than with v8. It would be nice if vloggers would stop being so kiss/love to manufacturers because of fear not being invited for next new thing presentations
We mentioned concerns over the loss of the V8, as well as issues with no real MPG benefit. Turbo lag wasn’t an issue during our time with the truck. Reliability was mentioned as well, but in this case the V6 is an unknown in the long term and the V8 is known. We are glad to see a new generation of the Tundra - and as a brand new truck is was good (unsurprisingly) but not perfect, as nothing is. No way to know long term reliability yet. Thanks for watching.
I enjoy a good V8 as much as the next man but have you tried modern turbos? The torque comes on way sooner and they pull hard. Going back to NA V8 after it feels lethargic. Reliability wise NA all day but we live in a world of EPA rules and I'll trust a Toyota turbo over any other brand.
It reminds me of jackets with shoulder pads or boots with high heels.
Buying a big tough guy image?
Just admit it and write Big Horn on the side
My girlfriend looks hot in high heel boots.. hope they are not for you 🙁
Looks ugly compared to RAM 1500
It looks worse then the new Chevy
@@FishFind3000 hah yea the new chevys are hideous, thought maybe they’d grow on me over time but nope, still hideous. It’d be tough to beat the ugliness of the chevys without making a valiant stride in doing so
trucks are ugly lol
This Toyota is really ugly. I thought chevy was bad but this is worse.
Trucks are tools to haul your toys.
@@kc510 Sad how often they appear to be toys to haul around tools...
@@kc510 ok useful i get it but necessarily need to replace your old trucks for new features? lol
If you are a new owner of a truck with a backup assist system then you have no incentive to learn how to backup, and thus never will.
Hand a kid a paper map. It's scary.
Ugly inside and out. Interior is very underwhelming. Toyota doing the bare minimum as usual. Average
Shut up !!!
@@ibrahimbashir6634 lmao
Leave the truck market to the ‘real’ manufacturers.
Hilux says "what?"
@@Trendyflute The Big 3 has this. No need for small players to join the group.
@@TheCarCrazyGuy let’s not forget about Nissan, I strongly dislike Nissan but, I have to give credit where it’s due, the 5.6 in the titan is quite the freight train of a motor. Anyone in the market for a non American v8 truck that would’ve went tundra will be giving there business over to Nissan now if they still don’t want to give the 3 “American” (not actually American because they’re all built in Mexico or Canada to some large extent) trucks a chance
Real are craps !! 😂
That is one ugly truck. Like a bad kid's toy only bigger. And what kind of "car" guys are you if you're getting wet over fake engine noise and a v6 in a full size truck. But hey it has a big screen. Technical muscle is a fail
Agreed, it seems to me that they are just leaking toyota's b*** in order to please them and be able to review more stuff first hand in future. Sad
They should make an all electric Tundra or at least a Hybrid.
Glad you paid close attention
Lol, they said in the video that there is a hybrid model….. did you even watch the video? They said it and showed it.
