LISTEN TO ME. I just bought a 2020 tundra and I am in love with that thing. I traded in a ltz 1500 2015 and comparing the two; there really isn't one. Don't get me wrong I liked my Silverado, but the quality of the ride and the overall truck hands down beats the Silverado. My Silverado had 112k on it, the air went out, my transmission went out, my steering components were starting to go, and with that also my confidence in Chevy and trust me I am a chevy man but these Toyotas are simple and reliable. Guys screw the buttons and whistles, you won't use them, you drive the truck guys not press buttons, don't let those other companies fool you with their flashy bullshit.
its kind of outdated though. a ram 1500 limited is awesome though
Hes right toyota is the most reliable brand out there especially their tundras. Chevys reliability keeps going down
I wish I was as rich as you 😖
just clip your phone on the ac vent and you have the best infotainment in the world!
me and my dad had to learn this the hard way. nothing beats Toyota quality.
This TRD Pro trim is what I would want in a 1/2 ton. Like you say, can tow, haul, and do decent off road. The 5.7 may be thirsty but the sounds, and the reliability of a NA V8 is satisfying.
Im averaging 15.6 mpg on my 2020 tundra. Like u said it's worth it for the reliability, plus my dad has a 2019 f150 2.7 Ecoboost and is only getting 17 mpg
I highly recommend getting a tundra bro
No, Tundras SUCK! If you have a Tundra, then you need to throw it in a garbage can! F150's are better.
Jordan Brooks only thing is that you can only get a trd on a 5 foot bed right?
Brodie2005 TheGamer Lol clam down buddy?? F150 sucks . Now f250 is a good truck
That’s how you drive a Tundra man. Awesome review with great points made
Can you imagine this truck with the Titan interior...will be perfect for the price tag.
But i'll take anytime a Toyota truck than other truck brand.
xudyline I swear I’d it had the Titan interior it would be so awesome and I have to agree with you on better than any other truck
Nah the rams interior on this truck would be way better
Bald Eagles oh yeah the ram interior is amazing too
I’m a simple guy and this is a simple truck. Don’t need all the tech, just enough to keep dated. Looked at all the other trucks and this would be the one I go with.
Can you guys help me out with something which truck is worth buying the Ford F-150 chevy silverado or the Toyota’s tundra my dad wants to get a new truck that’s gonna last and is good for the family and is reliable which one is the best?
My 2017 Ford raptor broke down after 30k miles. I got rid of it and took a huge loss. Will never buy anything else but Toyota.
fernando vasquez well what can I say. It’s ford.
It broke what?!
@@Gypsum-pro rear differential and wouldn't start in the morning when it was raining . The moon roof was replaced because it would leak water into the cab when it rained.
Ad Sando couldn’t word it any better lol say it louder! People get on me for spending so much on my new 2020 Tacoma but like you said, when we want a steak, we get a ribeye not no damn sirloinnnnnn
fernando vasquez Honestly it seems all of those things were caused by you, because you cannot do only 30k miles in 3 years
Best truck ever made
Damn that exhaust sounds incredible
It's a nice sounding exhaust for sure but it gets annoying pretty fast. I test drove a 2021 1794 Edition that had the TRD exhaust on it and I was sick of it after just a few minutes. It's way too loud under heavy acceleration and has too much drone for my taste. A lot of people will love it though.
Old school NA V8s sound the best.
This will be my first truck and I don’t need anything else to appreciate it
I have been a subscriber for quite a while of this channel and winding road. One of my favorite parts of your videos is how calm and serene they are in terms of your manner and the audio. I hate these youtubers who are always trying to hype you up, show stupid thumbnails and talk about smashing the like button. This is just grownup, real reviews, and some of the absolute best out there imo.
Just got me a 2020 tundra sr5 crewmax in quicksand color. I absolutely love it, paid 43k for it
I wish I was as rich as you
@@gladisortiz9708 far from rich, just work my ass off 6 days a week bro. U can too
enjoy god bless.
That's why u hustle non-stop
Jordan Brooks yessir 👏✊ make your dreams come true 🙌🙌
It doesn’t have a sport transmission mode. The S stands for sequential shift and all it is, is a top gear limiter meant for towing. You set the gear you want and it will shift itself between gears to that max gear you set. It doesn’t even tell you what gear you’re in except for when you first put it in S which goes to 4th.
1:59 Same with me, I love the 5.7 V8 too, especially that fantastic fan sound when you start it.
However, the mpg could be better.
The Tundra weighs a lot so that relatively small engine (small by Murica standards) has to work extra hard to carry that weight around so the MPGs aren't that great
The reason for the terrible mpg is that the tundra is ported injection and not direct injection like all the other v8s on the market. That means that while yes the fuel economy suffers its more reliable in the long run and less maintenance intensive. Also that 6 speed mated to the 4.30 rear end is meant to put down to power in towing applications. The rear diff is a massive 10.5 inch so that tundra's built to last. Mpg wasn't the primary focus even then I can easily get 17 to 18 on the hwy in mine,
@@acerusea5156 That's not a small engine in comparison to most of the competition. Relatively similar or bigger.
@@acerusea5156It really isn't small, if you're talking about displacement. 5.7 is big for an engine with dohc, the only other v8 trucks with dohc is the nissan titan 5.6 and f150 5.0. Which both are better than gm and rams, which have simpler ohv v8 engines. Not to mention in the gm's you can get a 6.2 and the 5.0 coyote is bigger. Just look at them both and you'll see. The 5.7 in the ram is also ohv and much smaller and in my opinion inferior to this 5.7 iforce in the tundra 😎
Thoroughly enjoyed this review, and watching it actually being DRIVEN. All these reviews of 2 guys in the truck puttering around town Sunday morning style. Well done, and keep it up!
I bought a 2021 Tundra SR5 with off road package, off road tires and leather package. The roaring sound is just perfect.
In my opinion, this is the best looking Tundra that money can buy, and that includes the 2022.
I’ve never been a truck man, however, after watching your video, I got to have an iforce 5.7 v8. I love it and never even been it yet. Thank you for your video.
Honestly, this great review has confirmed my decision to buy my new Tundra 2020 TRD PRO
Good review. Admittedly quite outdated but RELIABLE. My 2007 is still rolling strong +240k miles. Put on a Volant air intake 12 years ago. Makes the 5.7 really sound nice. If I don’t like the redesign may just have to get this old design again.
k ross i got an 06 tun tun with about 100k less than yours but i was looking at an aftermarket air intake. Would you say it’s worth it?
Panthia Whelan can’t say I get much better mileage but I get that nice rumble when I get into it which is hard to beat. So yes I have no regrets getting mine.
What are your thoughts on the redesign?
@@onlinealias622 mixed. It looks to be a nice truck but with long delay in releasing it I was expecting more. Nothing too innovative imo. But if the Toyota reliability holds true than I’m on board getting one. But that will probably be a long time since I’m expecting to keep my 2020 10+ years
Tundra all the way and resale is way better than all other truck brands imo.
I love that rural setting. But I did grow up in the country.
The grab handle was removed for the IIHS small offset crash test, which they expected to only be conducted on the drivers side.
The IIHS is stupid
Hand's down, the best dam truck in the dam world Dam.........Nice!!!! Go toyota...Dam!!
Dam
i like the interior design
I currently have a 2012 F-150 5.0 that’s been a great truck but I’m saving to buy a 2nd gen Tundra. It’s my dream truck
This one looks better than the new one
Very good truck they gave me one at my job I was surprised how well it handles. Def one of the best trucks imo. I drove like 6 month without oil change and it would still drive like a new truck I put some miles in that work truck and it’s the shit
Toyota Tundra💪💪💪
My favorite pickup truck!
i have a 2011 5.7 tundra i love it
gibson exhaust + K&N Tyhpoon sounds great chugs gas never gets stuck
That color make the tundra look bad ass
Wish I could go back to 2011, no virus then
I've owned a couple Tundra's and a Titan. They where very reliable. Though Toyota's are built better, I don't want to look at that interior any more. I'd go with the Titan for it's excellent interior and sound system, then trade-in about a decade from now for the newest Tundra if I liked it.
so more gloss black is considered better interior these days? Because I just watched the Nissan Titan POV video from this channel, and all I saw was gloss black everywhere
@@boss123400 nice counter-argument there, really added to the discussion
Kylo Solo I love gloss black. I keep a piece in pocket...
@@kylosolo6128 I'm genuinely confused. I watched the same video and honestly like the Tundra more, I guess I'm Toyota biased and don't really care about looks but I got a 2017 tundra and it's comfy as all hell, could drive all day and it has every thing I need. Oh well.
Nissan looks nice, but the engine won't be there for you once it gets to 100k
just rode in one today. awesome truck
It's old but good looking, most of all reliable but got the Titan.
I really hope they don't kill off the 5.7, because if they do, looks like i'll have to buy a Tundra with the 5.7 next year before they're gone!
@@rv2167 I think it's twin turbocharged
@Burger King it’s pretty much set and stone at this point. Toyota is quickly moving away from V8s
@@the1reef.243 till they reveal the new one...
Nobody knows anything, and nothing is set in stone.
Ikr dummies are getting suvs and hybrid cars and their ruining it for all of us
It’s gone😕
Very very reliable and strong but they are far too thirsty.
Yeah, it's really obnoxious. Like 13 city!
A 5000 pound truck with a V8. What the hell do you expect? If you want gas and miles, get a Prius.
Well I offset the difference. My daily is a 2020 camry hybrid which gets me 50mpg and I could care less what the tundra gets since its my weekend truck or when I need to haul something or have fun off road.
@@beterwithab Feel your feelings bro. Just pointing it out that the Tundra gets the worst MPG. Only being "outdone" by a Roush Ford and the TRX...so I think complaining has merit...
@@beefraz9510 just wait for the next generation. Toyota is fully redesigning the tundra. But even now the competition doesn't get much better mileage. Any truck you see is around 15 combined. They may claim better but when you drive fast on the highway and short trips in the city I dont expect any truck to be getting 18 to 20 mpg. Especially if you haul and tow. Thats why companies are moving away from v8s to twin turbo v6 motors. Quicker and more efficient but both have their pros and cons.
Usually people don't buy it when they're going to buy their first truck, cause they don't know yet what is a truck, but when you are a experienced truck owner and you know that Ford, GMC, RAM even get close to this machine then you understand what is.quality above fancy conception.
Just picked up my 2020 Trd Pro Tundra and it’s amazing!!! The only upgrade will be 295/70r18 All terrain tires
Any rubbing with the tires? What came on your TRD Pro, 275’s? Just got one last week and LOVE it so far. Wish it had more aggressive tires though given the overall trim. Easy to change of course...
No rubbing - just put 295/70/18 on my 2020 PRO - ARMY GREEN 👍
Great reliable V8 platform and I don't even mind the "dated interior" I just think it needs to have an electronic rear locker on the Pro model
I really like my '19 TRD Crewmax. Not alot of bling but just what's needed. Great truck. Period.
whats good about this is this can literally take you to the moon and come back to earth without breaking down, you need need to change oil and tyres when needed
I love your voice. It’s so relaxing
My favriot truck of all time😍😍
7:07 The thought of the V8 not being around much longer saddens me. It's cool and all that companies are switching over to turbo charged V6 engines but there's something about the V8 that I'll always love. Thankfully Ram has been keeping it in their new releases.
those hemi engines are absolutely terrible
@@dylandiprima7100 how?
V8s aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, 2500 and 3500 trucks still require v8 engines. Also, traditionalists would always want v8s, so companies will keep making them as long as they can. GM and Ram still use v8s across their line up and ford still offers the 5.0 in the f 150.
@@insayn7995 Yes I hope so. Good thing is, we'll always able to buy them second hand and drive for another 30 years (hopefully)
sterling malory archer....
Just bought a Tundra last year with the V8. The v8 is going away. I don’t care what anyone says, I doubt a twin turbo V6 will be as reliable as a NA V8!. A lot more parts so more things can go wrong. Since the engine is also smaller, it has to work harder. V6 is fine for an SUV but not for a big ass truck. I think the days of seeing Tundras with 300k + miles are gone with the new gen Tundra coming out next year. We will see.
Very true. Hold on to that awesome V8. I’m looking for a 2021.
The driving part is excellent and very exciting.
I’m all about simplicity.
i Saw this vid 4 months ago and now i have it :)
Me too!
@@sacsmitty how is it
@@sacsmitty crappy gas !!
You now must be poor for them gas bills!!
bring back the v8 tundra Toyota!! 😭😭😭
I love this truck for its V8 engine and the netta is the one I'm dreaming of
Outstanding review! Take my money.
19:25 The Sequoia has a driver's grab handle, but somehow Toyota didn't include one on the Tundra. :(
that's odd
2007 tundra has a drivers side grab handle. Not sure when they quit doing it.
2014 is when they quit putting it on. Available to order though, quick install
Ya, available to order...for $200.....
Makes no sense since the driver spends the most time in the truck! Toyota keeps missing that basic engineering marvel year after year?!? Love the truck though!
Should have put it in tow/haul mode with traction off. Aka sport mode.
Awesome review but the “leather” is interestingly enough SofTex a synthetic leather-like material
We need a Tundra with a Diesel and Dually’s to dethrone RAM!
There's nothing wrong with low tech. love it in my 17 4Runner.
I'd buy it. I get 14 mpg now with my Infiniti so 13 mpg isn't an issue
People who r worried about mpg shouldn’t get a truck
@@jconroy102 Ya I agree
@@jconroy102 people that worry about mpg shouldn't own any vehicles
This Tundra interior looks very similar to my Tundra rental
Beautiful truck I have a tacoma and man that looks nice to have that space also every Toyota I've driven has that tick in the engine I wonder why I do know that tick is normal though
I wished they'd come out with a new platform for it already
No, redesigning it could hurt its reliability, from what I've heard.
This thing is about as indestructible as a roach. Why sacrifice it and risk several years of reliability issues? They can easily modernize it as is.
MrCarGuy20 give it a few more features to compete with the raptor. I too don't want that v8 to be gone
Twin turbo hybrid v6 is the new engine going in it as one option for 2022 model year arriving December 2021. Or at least that was the plan prior to this whole mess we are in.
They’re both great trucks, but I would go with the Titan Pro-4x between these two. A little less on price and just looks amazing plus is very capable off road and towing.
What about the reliability wouldn’t you pay more for the reliability and stronger transmission and stronger rear diff ?
you should review a 2005 4.7 v8 tundra
I love that truck hope to get one in near future. Too bad they’re not making this model any more. 😢
"Tundra" - my blue dream!!!
💪💪💪✌🇺🇦
I was set on on a 2019 Tacoma Trd off road for $37k until I walked into a Nissan dealer and drove the 2019 Titan Pro 4X which I bought for $35k brand new. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Toyota just asks to much for reliability. Interior styling is always behind the curve.
Wow you got lucky, they still want 40K where i am on a 19 Titan...
@@mochielucky1688 thats why you shop around to differwnt dealerships of the dane brand when looking to purchase a vehicle
Reliability and resale value are what kept me away from Titans in general. Nissan's resale is atrocious. If you buy it and keep it forever, it doesnt matter, but I'll take reliability and resale value over saving $2k any day. FYI, I have a TRD Sport for $42k, lower model and Pro 4x was only $2k cheaper in AZ, however, I still gain reliability and resale over the Pro 4x in the long run. Worth it for me since I do all mechanical work myself after 3/36 warranty runs out (do not trust dealerships). Nissan gains are realized now vs Tundra gains realized later. To each his own. Still think the Pro 4x is a nice truck, just not for me.
You got Ripped for a dam Nissan! Lol.... saving $2k............for a non reliable, no resale value compare to the toyota??? Hm.............hope you won't regret it.
They should update the Tundra as much as the Tacoma. Because the Tundra is kinda outdated. I love you Toyota.
But I think it’s time to upgrade 😕
Truck looks like old dogshit 😂😂
@@elchangux i still love the tundra but they just update a little. like they spent so much time updating the outside and body etc. and not the tech
@@elchangux then why are you watching a tundra review smartass
It has good pick especially since it weighs more then any other truck in its class except the Titian I thank that weighs a lil more
cinematic shots yas
I find the titan interior to be ugly but the exterior on the pro 4x is nice. But I think the tundra looks good inside and out, and I don't know why everybody says it looks dated.
It's worth mentioning that the Tundra towed the Space Shuttle (Endeavour I think).
Got into this truck because of GT Sport!
"Gas bill will bankrupt you"... That's a good one! I wanted to buy one, but after hearing this saying, I quit.
Gas is a lot cheaper than when your warranty runs out, with this Tundra you will just keep on driving. But I get what you are saying, mpg sucks
Gas is cheap lately!
9:44 I swear i heard a whine as if it had a supercharger😂😂😂
The off-road is important
I miss it already 😥
For a 5.7 this doesn’t sound aggressive at all and tbh that takes the fun out of daily driving a V8
great review!!!
my dream car
2:05 V8 sound
55k can’t get a bed liner?
That is odd. Mine came with spray in bed liner.
Id go titan pro4x
I couldn't believe it myself. The model before that comes with a Spray in Bedliner. Not sure why this one with like 5.99% interest doesn't have it ??
Une dinguerie 😍
Hey! I would really appreciate a new video explaining rev-matching as it would be helpful not just for me but for others as well.
Just filmed it yesterday!
@@TheTopher Great! Looking forward to watching that video when it goes online✌️
I think if they paired the 8 speed auto from the land cruiser/LX570 there’d be a decent increase in MPG... although even those aren’t great at gas mileage.
Then again, Toyota’s not necessarily known for having great MPG in their larger SUVs and Trucks. Had a 18’ Tacoma and it was nice and all but I don’t think I ever saw better than 15-16 mpg in it bone stock... if it were my choice I would’ve bought a tundra instead of the Tacoma
Be aware of the Cam Tower Leak issues on the 5.7 motors super expensive repair if out of warranty.
Toyota is really charging $20,000 more for the new tundra trd pro
Only thing I don’t like is the MPG it could be better, I’m fine with anything over 20
Great video
I want this truck so freaking bad but I don't have the money, and then there is also the redesign coming next year which doesn't help matters :(
Nice truck!
Nice truck but needs a interior update.
With this engine... why even bother ever using the radio/listening to music. This truck sounds amazing.
Driving that hard on country roads is never a great idea.... deer love to mess up your day!
All I can think is wow, what a great looking truck! Then bam, he opens the door and I got all that plastic and chrome staring me in the face
Yup interior look cheap
I like it, but of course, personal preference
I like the toyota tundra i wish it has a better fuel economy
Driving habits help tremendously.
Great truck! Durable and reliable, tried and true, and who tf cares if it's dated? Only Achilles Heel about this truck is...gas mileage. Lol. I remember the first gen Tundra trucks, as a kid. I would stick with that, if you want to save money, since those are now all depreciated in value.
I love the tundra but they should change an exterior and interior a little bit 👍 compared to f150 and other brands .
Ram’s 5.7 is still the best sounding to me but damn does this thing sound good.
If toyota build a wheel barrow with wheels i will push it.thata how i love my toyotas toyota lexus brand.king of autos..
Twin turbo V6? Hopefully that’s just a second option and not a V8 replacement.
My 07 gets 10 mpg combined
