Thanks for watching!
That thing is really powerful, 583lbft of torque is crazy.
Tf 💀
Not really with the Tacoma having 465lbft
@@high-octane-stunts86 583lbft of torque is more than a 6.0 Powerstroke diesel has, and 465lbft of torque will be a lot in the Tacoma as well.
Until the battery dies. Its a temporary 583
Slow af tho.
This channel really covers everything anyone looks for. Not into detail in certain areas but reaches almost every area needed for someone interested to hear, especially the driving. under rated channel, extremely.
The 21 trd pro was selling for $58k now they are past $75k. Ridiculous
Toyota wonders why the Tundra is the lowest selling fullsize pickup but then charges crazy money for one and then dealers mark them up 5-10k on top of that. You can't get a tundra for 10k plus off msrp like the american manufacturers are doing right now, let alone msrp.
@@dawsongranger4940the tundra doesn’t sell well simply due to brand loyalty, well that’s the number 1 reason. Ford guys will always but Ford trucks and nothing else, and Toyota guys will only by Toyota trucks, my girlfriends grandpa has only driven tundras and recently just for a Tundra Capstone, and he said he is never buying a different brand so I think it’s mainly brand loyalty
@@dawsongranger4940your a sucker for sure😆. I bet salesmen love seeing you coming. 10k off a truck that has an MSRP of 93k LMFAO.
@@T_81535 No, I’m looking at rst silverados for like $45k with heated seats and blind spot monitoring. That’s the price they should be which is why they’re selling at that. Salesman love seeing tundras with an msrp of $75k and charging $90k. The off road models have less markdown because that’s what people want. Ram is the most guilty of charging insane prices for trucks and marking down. But you’re still getting a lot more truck for less than a tundra
Damn
I love the way the TRD pro drives and sounds
It's a V6...
I think the sound is the speakers.
It’s the weakest truck out of the brands.
@@wint_62 all modern trucks are weak. Over computerized, tiny little bed, a thousand different hoses and wires under the hood. You want to something hardy and utilitarian, you buy used
@@kalashnikov1343 You scared of a couple hoses and wires? Wuss, go work on ur screwdriver Carbs
One of the finest, and nicest pick up trucks around.
I don’t think there is a clear “winner” truck anymore. The previous gen Tundra was definitely the best reliability wise but now, I think choose your poison and hope for good things. I think they are all well built, modern, better interiors with more tech than ever before. That said, they all have issues and none seems heads and shoulders above the rest. You can poke holes in each brand. Pick your brand loyalty and hope for the best, I feel in today’s market. They are all overpriced. You can say that about each brand.
I agree with your take. I'm a 2015 F150 guy and I thought $50 grand was a lot for my 2015 FX4. 70 plus in nuts.
The most reasonable take I have seen on the internet about trucks. Bravo.
3:28 even some space underneath the seat to store things😮
I bought one same as yours 3 months ago . It runs great, little wobbly. The only complaint I have is the turning radius. A tight U turn won’t make it without backing up.
It’s a big truck. And no matter what brand it is, big trucks will never let you make a good U-turn without backing up!
> buying a big truck
> complaining that it can't make a U-turn
Truck bros, I'm starting to think they're right when they say truck drivers are a bunch of idiots
My Dream truck!!
That color is growing on me.
This is my dream vehicle
I always laugh when some describes the sound as “deep throaty”. I know, I’m an overgrown adolescent. 😂😂
What a beautiful truck!
Sounds like my Yard Cub grass tractor. Sadness Toyota does not bring in wonderful diesels they have overseas
Toyota has best of things in US.
Almost bought this same truck. But I thought it was just going to take too long to become available. And possibly not worth the money. Ended up buying 2019 sr5 4x4 5.7 v8 with 14k miles for $37,500.00. And a 2021 Mustang gt with 4 miles brand new.
So I ended up with 2 cars for the price of one. The funny thing is I get 18 mpg going to work. Guy, who works for me, has a new trd off road 2023, and he's only getting 16 mpg. The twin turbo was supposed to be better on fuel versus the v8 😅😅
Planned obsolescence and the EPA suck, don’t they?
@faheemabbas3965 yea. Figured I'd wait 3 to 4 years before I get a turbo tundra. Honestly, I wish they just put the new transmission on the v8. I'm sure they could have picked up 1 or 2 mpg that way.
Currently, I'm debating on a new civic type r, or gr corolla. Both brand new. Toyota can be had at msrp. Civic like 15k over sticker. I'm looking for a new track car. I'm getting sick of these scummy dealerships.
I think you got a good deal. 2 cars for the price of one is great. That 19’ Tundra will last you longer than the new Tundras probably.
I need move by the dealership you went to wtf lol
Why would you want a truck with this short of a bed though? It's inferior in literally every single way to a full-sized wagon.
That´s what I call it powerful truck!!!!!!!!
I’m hoping the new 4Runner gets a similar powertrain with superior fuel efficiency.
Nice truck but some of the plastic interior looks a little cheap. Not a deal breaker though.
Nice power and torque numbers.
Great review T
👍
The new 4runner is 100% getting the 2.4 from the taco with the hybrid reserved for the top trims with a high upcharge. Going to be really hard to price that thing with the landcruiser basically replacing it
Pity, I was hoping for the upgraded motor as stock.
With the current design and this new hybrid from the tundra with a minor refresh, something like what Nissan did with the Frontier world be fantastic.
Not to fond of the 2.4 in the new Tacoma.
Might change my mind when we see the TRD PRO though.
No they won’t! They might get a hybrid but not the one from the tundra! Besides the 4Runner is a Tacoma based SUV, Sequoia is a Tundra based SUV!
🥱 what a snoozer..looks like a 2WD !
Bring back the old-school Trd pros !
Engineering background, one of my favorite hobbies is looking at trucks I can't ever afford to buy new. Starting at the low price of $70,000, the Tundra I force Max TRD Pro can be yours lol. However, this is the ONE. I prefer this ove the limited because you can go off roading on it. Compared to Ford and Dodge, it is still more affordable. I love the 19-21 MPG You take a hit on the MPG vs the non off road but you have some nice upgrades and you still get a respectable 19 miles combined. Love the skid plates and suspensions. 10,000 pounds is more than what i would ever need to tow. Step up to the i-Force Max and combined output rises to 437 horsepower and 583 lb-of torque. For you audiophile fans the JOB is as nice as Lexus Mark Levingston audio. By the way all trucks are going to have some rattle and noise in their center console.
Better to go with the Platinum with the TRD package.
Why, if you don't mind me asking
It looks so good. Makes me want to trade in my '22 BRZ 🤣
It’s good to have both pickup and sport car 😆
You'll need to trade in 3 to afford this 😂
Do it join the gang
Toyota not nearly MPG, what they claimed. I don't know how they got those numbers. I'm driving a trd sport, and average 17mpg on highway.
Great competitor for the rebel and tremor.
I traded my rebel and IMO, the only thing this truck has over my rebel is a little bigger infotainment screen and the hybrid motor is all that. But if ram were to come out with the hybrid motor like this I would go back in a heartbeat. But the gas mileage is too awsom to abandon. I'm sure once I make some mods I will end up loving this truck.
Would be great to see your thoughts on GM’s 2.7 high output motor for the Silverados
Yu can shut off those alarms 🚨 and fake noises with a bidirectional obd2 scanner , start stop needs to go especially turbo vehicles as may delay pulling out cross traffic
I’d buy it, damn good buy
“Deep throaty graw” I believe (and could be wrong) the sounds you’re hearing is from the speakers?
I just can’t do the fake engine sound from the speakers
I want one so bad
I just bought the 2024 platinum trd off road and I couldn't agree more about the rattling inside the cab. At this price point Toyota needs to put Ina better console instead of the cheap plastic that's in there. Nice truck though.
Why does the black headliner looks better...
Nice review.
The city gas mileage you observed seems very similar to the outgoing V8s. I wonder how many model years it will take for the investment in all that new tech to pay dividends at the pump? Or was your 15-16 observed while towing?
The exhaust guys did a great job getting a v8-esque sound considering what they had to work with.
The 2024 Tacoma is averaged the same as my 19 sport Tacoma 6 speed manual. I don’t understand how they didn’t improve either vehicles with a whole new hybrid system
@@mr.fiction5564 It’s almost as if they used all the tech to break even on fuel economy and jack the power sky high. The only defense for the mpg is can think of is that the mpg is similar to the last truck with far more power. If anyone can make this set up reliable in the long term it’s Toyota but it seems complicated.
@@chaseteter and they didn’t really pump up towing numbers with all that power. I have zero incentive to replace my 19 sport
@@mr.fiction5564 My understanding is the towing on these vehicles are limited by chassis, brake, and suspension type things, so throwing more power won't increase the legally safe towing rating. I like to think of my nightmare towing situation: a vehicle towing it's max and trying to control the trailer going down a steep, long and winding hill. The engine power (besides maybe engine brake force) will not be a factor as much as the chassis strength, braking power and ability to not overheat, and wheelbase to some extent. If they keep making changes to increase mid-size towing, it would end up being more of a 1/2 ton and not a light midsize pickup.
But yeah, upgrading up one generation jsut because usually isn't the best choice. I have a 2nd gen and love it, but I am only interested since I have an access cab and manual (wife refuses to learn), and may want something different in a year or two. I love driving the 4.0 6 speed though! It's a real treat, but expensive on gas.
Seems like just a decent all around truck
The hybrid system imo really doesn’t help mpg’s. A diesel on the other hand would give the truck similar torque, better mileage
I don´t know guys, sometimes I wanted to pursuit certain goals in my life, but by the same reason I don´t be able to make it happen, I´ll hope for thenext year to reach at least one of them, thanks, bye,good luck.
Lmfao that truck bed is a joke. 😂😂
3.5 V6 Twin Turbo Hybrid - 10A/T 4WD
MSRP: From $72,130
437 hp; 583 lb. -ft. torque
Tire size: P285/65R18
Towing capacity: 11,180 lbs
Engine: 3.4 L V6
Technically it is 3.4, displacement 3.445, but it often gets advertised as a 3.5
Man Toyita Tundra, Tacoma, Chevrolet Silverado, For F-150 all come in Left hand Drive where I live we need Right hand drive when will they manufacture
Man we need to get back to the trucks that have the seat option between the driver and passenger. Sometimes you don’t want your wife so far away. Plus if you need an extra seat from someone you have it. With three kids it is crazy that I still would not be able to take an extra passenger in such a large vehicle.
It’s hard to even consider this when the F150 and Ram 1500 exist. Better engines and better fuel mileage. I had a Ram Rebel on a 800 mi road trip and averaged 18 mpg which was decent. I honestly haven’t heard good things about this Tundra.
Hey man you´re a good pilot
10 more years and the infotainment screen will be the whole windshield and all windows are display screen.
I don’t know if I can give up my v8. This truck sounds weak.
How is this car rated at only 19 mpg with a hybrid powertrain ?
It’s a “hybrid boosted motor” like a McLaren . Just for power
We exchanged safety for reliability, it seems. Not sure how I feel about it.
Beautiful BUT when these things need mechanical work in the future imagine the parts and labour bills! A future mechanic is going to need a damn engineering degree.
very interesting👍🙂
if I only had the money!
Does the lane keep steer itself on the highway? Is it any good? Would have liked to see a POV of it in action
Yeah, but it wants your hands on the wheel after a few seconds, if it's the same like on my Lexus.
It's not bad. It's better on cars with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (Corolla, Crown, new Tacoma)... but it works just find in the Tundra. Just gotta keep your hands on the steering wheel.
It can for a little bit, but it will soon prompt you to put your hands back on the wheel.
@@whatawhiff6805 The new Tundra doesn't have TSS 3.0?
@@rcktmn it has TSS 2.5+. Basically just doesn’t have proactive drive assist and the lane tracing isn’t quite as good. But all the important features are the same
Toyota really out did themselves!
They need to fix that rear seat head space. Either the roof is too low or the seats are too high.
How I wish this engine and transmission was in the new tacoma
My wife has the rx500 with the 4cyl hybrid systems that the tacoma has and I think you are going to be very pleased with the power and torque and how it does in the new tacoma.
The Tacoma trd pro will cost more than this one watch.
Can the fake sound be turned off?
I just drove a Tundra SR5 TSS 4x4 model. Although it was nice, I can't justify making myself car poor. I'll be waiting for the Tacoma or just search for a cheaper used Tundra.
Please don’t buy the TSS package it is such a waste of money and you only get base truck you can get a nice sr5 or limited for that money
@@Mayan-_ noted! Thanks.
sick truck would you take this over a f150 ?
I have a 2010 f150 4.6 and I get around 22-24mpg on highway idk how
Gotta love how Toyota pumps in some fake V8 sounds into the cabin 😂
I come from a Toyota family but that rattling interior is a disgrace to Toyota products. Will never buy this Tundra.
I test drove the Capstone trim level and was unimpressed with ride quality on the 22" wheels. Also, I was extremely unimpressed with sound quality on a $85k truck, terrible distortion at high volume. I know it's subjective, but I think the truck is hideous to look at. The only trim levels I like are 1794 w/TRD Offroad pkg and TRD Pro, but even then, the digital camo pattern on the TRD Pro exterior trim and interior seats is awful. And finally, I'm still a little hesitant regarding reliability after all the passenger side turbo issues that resulted a 'Stop Sale' when the redesigned Tundra was first released to the public. The first 6 Tundras delivered to my local Toyota Stealership all blew the passenger side turbo in the first 2k miles. I wonder if the passenger side turbo issue has been rectified. In my opinion, the Chevy ZR2 with a 6.2 liter is a better executed truck, rides better, has better SQ, but not by much, and is equipped with a front locking diff, the TuRD Pro is not, and I believe the 6.2 liter V8 will last longer and be cheaper to maintain long-term versus Toyota's V6 hybrid.
6.2L has had a of lifter issues on the engine....look it up. And yes, the turbo wastegate issue on the Tundra has already been fixed....the powertrain in the Tundra is awesome, may or may not last as long as their last V8 but it should last longer than the other turbo v6's from Ford, Ram, etc.
just curious how long is your audience retention for your video
I have '24 trd pro as well! My only complaint so far is JBL speakers!!! I just feel like it's not loud enough - I like to be JAMMING. My Lexus is250 '14 sounds way louder w/ more bass! lol
Whoever is paying $70-80k for this does not deserve any money or any truck.
I wonder if there is a way to get the top spec and opt for the smaller screen size. that screen is ridiculous.
Naaahhh bro it’s amazing . You can get a device to basically turn it into a tablet and watch and tv apps on it , it’s great
Twin Turbo- Pass and turbos eat oil after some use.......
That fake exhaust sound is like Toyota is saying sorry for the crappy V6.
I thought they came with 3.6 engines not 3.4 ?
I don't like the screen that is out there like it doesn't belong. It reminds me of one of those aftermarket cd systems systems with the big screens. I like a screen that is integrated that follows the layout. This just doesn't look appealing to me. It's like a tablet was just super glued on top.
in intro you said 2023 lol
What do you prefer the zr2 bison with the diesel or the trd pro ?
72k and doesn't even have a spray in bedliner. These trucks are ridiculous.
Oh noooooo😢, no bedliner😢😢😢😢🙄
This ain't a chevy boy. No need for that, with Toyota's composite construction bed they can handle any kind of abuse. My 100k tacoma has it and its indestructible.
@@mtfishingwizard ikr what a ripoff, imagine paying that much and defending a billion dollar corp for it! haha people are wild.
@@2jsanc681 oooh composite construction tell me more! is that factored in to the cost?
get your money up broke boi
Why is the dashboard screen always blinking is that normal?
That's because it is an LED screen and his camera can't keep up with the LED screen so it looks like it is blinking. This is common with many LEDs and cameras. It doesn't actually blink.
Is you test unit a 2023 or 2024? Title says 24 but you said 23 in the video. Just wondering for that center console rattling that may have been addressed in the 2024 model.
I have heard the rattling issues have been fixed
I have the 1794 tundra 2024. Zero rattling anywhere
Not sure how you buy this over a gen 3 or soon to be gen 4 raptor.
Some people want a truck that can be used as a work truck capable of towing over ten thousand pounds confidently on a daily basis without issue, a practical enough grocery getter and errand runner, a reliable vacation truck capable of cross country road trips with or without a load and with the comfort of a Lexus sedan, worthy of light off-road use, and if maintained correctly, capable of a million miles. Toyota also has the highest resale and trade in value. With the raptor, you get a pure offroader that is an unreliable POS with a growing list of bs recalls and no trade in or resale value whatsoever. Only a complete moron would buy a used raptor, where as nearly anyone would confidently buy a used tundra.
@@T_81535For mainstream use the F150 XLT, Tremor and for ultra comfort the Platinum and King Ranch exists which can be optioned with all the goodies you want, with higher towing capacity features and interior space making it better than the Tundra. Then there's the F150 Lightning & Raptor R which are in their own league.
Well maintained vehicles nowadays can easily do upwards of 300k miles, it's not limited to having the Toyota badge. Also all trucks are expensive to buy nowadays be it new or used - I wouldn't say that the trade in value is going to be any higher on either of the trucks.
The Raptor is more like a high speed desert Runner, like the TRX. Runner. There is no Tundra that can match its raw performance.
@@T_81535 I’m sorry, did you say Raptors have no resale or trade value? I beg to differ. A Raptor holds its value extremely well, better than any Toyota, sans a real land cruiser and Lexus LX. The TRD Pros interior looks like cheap, ricer dog shit out of too fast too furious. Spend some time on Raptor forums and you’ll see very few problems being reported. Any, are usually little minor things. Once Ford figured out the cam phasers, the raptor has proven to be stout. Toyotas 3.4s were also blowing engines left and right when first introduced due to the wastegate issue. If these TRD Pros were in the mid $60ks, I think there could be an argument for them. At current prices, you’d be stupid to take this over a Raptor. I’d take it over a ZR2, but not a Raptor.
Tundra TRD Pro or Silverado ZR2?
I have the ZR2.
Looks like the Toyota is my next truck
@@robqwertyuipp8750 the ZR2 not worth it?
Whatevers cheaper
@sean47w7
Recently experienced a warranty repair for a steering rack that took three months to fix .
Had to fight to get a pickup truck as a loaner , with a hitch during the time my truck was out of service .
Then they gave me a 2018 Chevy as a loaner, when you are paying bi-weekly payments on a 2023 , 90000 truck in Canada was very disappointing.
Also, there is no compensation from GM , as well as I had to spend additional money out of pocket for other expenses .
Just a terrible experience all around from GM , I had been a loyal 25-plus year GM truck person .
GM didn't care about that .
Gm customer care thought I was joking when I told them I was done with GM after this .
I ordered a Toyota TRD PRO.
Better resale and better reliability
The Toyota extended warranty includes maintance as well it is half the price of GM's warranty with no included maintenance.
@@robqwertyuipp8750get a ford, better than both.
Is it worth the sticker price 23,24
Not to sound ignorant but have they really fixed the issues with the Tundra?
Nope almost a year of ownership some of the minor issues are still lingering and I have a recall and they are gonna drop my tank due to increased risk of fire so yeah…
Not had any issues with mine except the gs tank recall.
They initially had zero storage under the seats of the hybrid with the battery, is there now some decent storage? I just need enough for jumper cables and some ratchet straps.
No storage under the seats of the hybrid. Just saw one yesterday.
There is storage behind the seat not underneath
How's that engine recall going? NISSAN RULES
is that a fake v8 sound lol
Yes it's ridiculous
It sound weak!
Lost me at v6 for a full size truck
Title says 2024 but you say 2023?
finally a tundra trd pro without the godawful red interior. the trd badge on the wheel is some dumb shit though.
for 72k it has a lot of plastic and not much for interior from factory
Is this assembly in USA or JAPAN?
Texas
400w plug. Worthless. At least they got it right in the Land Cruiser.
"A really deep throaty growl".... that is entirely fake. Hate that they, or anyone else does that.
looks like a lot of plastic inside, nice looking exterior though, hard on gas for a V-6
Center console is cringe worthy. Will wait on that face lift. Can’t stand rattles
Lame. Test drove one for 1 hr. My 21 is way more truck
Nice but pricey
Quiet ass truck
Fake engine/exhaust tone.
Let me guess, you can't even afford one of these trucks? Go be poor.
I hate the toyota screen, it’s cheap and that’s why it is always blinking.
Man I had the old tundra with a 5.7L V8 before I went to the Ranger Raptor and now it’s a V6 so it’s rlly not worth to upgrade the reason why I bought the Ranger Raptor was because gasoline was expensive but now diesel is expensive and I thought of getting the Tundra again but when I heard it’s a V6 I didn’t want it anymore cause it’s such a downgrade so now I’d rather get a Ford Ranger Raptor V6 EcoBoost instead.
In my country we have a lot of gas and diesel issues.
Then what do you drive if not gas or diesel? Lmao guess go get yourself a Tesla or ride the train.
@@alannguyen5050 my country to broke for Teslas so that’s why I ordered a Ford Ranger Raptor EcoBoost V6
@@alannguyen5050 and we ain’t got train too lol
Now go find one…and then pay under $75k for it..not likely.
Beautiful truck but it’s overpriced.
New tundra is pure garbage I’ve owned nothing but Toyota but I’m absolutely done with their trucks now.
Nice truck but 75k is absolutely ridiculous for a v6 toyota. They will keep increasing the orice because people keep buying them.
