That $74k is insane. The previous gen was $54k. It's gonna suck when the new Tacoma comes out at $50k.
thats not even including markups and sales tax... oof
Yeah and I will not buy one at that price. Crazy.
because the previous gen was just 4wd no tech at all
They can sell this for $45K and still make profit.
The previous gen Tacoma TRD pros were going for 60k here in Denver. I ended up buying a fully loaded 2023 Canyon AT4 for 50k
Ryan, It is about time Toyota offered a locking rear differential on the Tundra. With the price of body-on-frame pickup trucks and SUVs today, a rear locker ought to be standard equipment.🤨
Seemed to do fairly decent here though. Maybe subsequent owners might tackle more hardcore obstacles, but at least for first owners I think this is equipped just fine for a non-niche pickup.
@@ALMX5DP It has a locker.
@@rightlanehog3151 Oh gotcha, I thought I heard Ryan mention something but thought maybe it was some electronic mimickery. Not sure it's needed to be standard on non-offroad trims though, think a limited slip would be more beneficial for the majority of customers and their uses.
You will not find this trim at Dealer lots for 74k, try 84k with markups.
Just found one in AZ FOR 73K
The TRD off road package looks really good on the Platinum trim.
He is really living the dream with his off road course nice job
3:57 lol that’s some interesting math. Good for explaining to the wife.
“It basically pays for itself”
I love it!
Thank you for your hard work!!
Cool that the weather conditions let you use the crawl control. It was a powdery mess when I was there. Nice truck.
Great video! Love the background music towards the end.
Well, I was not necessarily expecting the "ladder" to be that easy with this truck. Figured the tires would give you some grief. But as you pointed out, the terrain was pretty idealistic. It is good you explain that factor to people in these videos. Some might not comprehend that factor. I personally believe in, run what you brung and deal with the real. Where as I see a lot of people expecting and or asking for terrain conditions to be exact between vehicles for exact comparison purposes. Well done.
Another truck I'll never be able to afford. Great review.
Nice loving this truck and your camera /content work.
I just detailed a 2023 TRD Pro today. It's a cool truck.
Hermoso vehículo ❤
Great video. I have a 2023 Tundra Limited with the TRD Off Road that I have yet to use the DAC or Crawel so you taught me a lot. One piece of advice you can turn the safety collision sensors off with the button down on the left of the steering wheel.
I'm in love with this truck. If there is one thing sexier than that truck, it's you. Great video Ryan.
Our neighbors have a new Tundra 4WD SR5.
They get 18mpg when commuting over Snowqualmie pass. (He’s a Firefighter and works 7 days on and7 days off).
His truck would still have the lower air dam which helps with MPGs. This one had it removed for the TRD Skid Plate.
@@drivingsports You show the active aero when showing the TRD skid plate at 4:30 in the video
@@PVTPablo according to Toyota a piece was removed for the TRD Plate. 🤷♂️ I’m a little confused by that too.
@@drivingsports Thanks Ryan, good to know.
@@drivingsports My 23 limited non hybrid TRD offroad doesn't have a skid plate, but it doesn't have the air dam either. Probably just removed for better approach angle? I get mid 18 mpg.
Crazy thing is I built a 2024 Tacoma limited came out 53k without upcharge
And 2024 tundra limited with hybrid twin turbo v6 came out to 63k+
Impressive video. You always push Toyota Suvs / cross-overs & trucks ...which is good👍
Hey Ryan, it would be great if you could share the payload ratings of the trucks you review!
Boy am I glad I got a 4Runner for MSRP... these new generations of trucks and SUVs are insanely high... and that's without markups.
It's worth noting that there are two different OEM versions of the wildpeaks. The ones on the TRD offroads aren't just less tread depth, they are a totally different tread pattern. They pretty much look like a slightly ruggedized highway tire. The TRD Pro wildpeaks have the same pattern as real wildpeaks, but less depth and a different compound. Neither one is 3 peak mountain snowflake.
Offroading: where the journey is the destination and the adventure never ends.
18” gold ano’d TRD rims on 35’s would have been a nice touch.
Crazy that switching to the six cylinder turbo hasn't really improved gas mileage much. I know there's a huge V8 Fanboy Club but now I'm wondering if perhaps, they were correct all along.
I haven’t looked at the exact numbers, but I believe emissions are much lower on the turbo six than on the eight.
Typical mileage for these is around 21 or so. Not entirely sure why he got 16 other than the elevation.
Its not about MPG the emissions are much lower with the V6 thats why everyone is switching.
The V8 got better fuel economy than the twin turbo V6 ever will, and with the V8 you weren't really working the engine at all on highway cruising drives. The problem was the 6 speed transmission never could figure out what gear it was supposed to be in LOL. The fuel economy was great back then considering it had a 4.30 axle ratio....it was built to work not be fuel efficient, which is where most people get mixed up...they buy a truck thinking its gonna do great on gas...no its built to haul and tow...want fuel economy buy a car.
In the beginning of the video he mentioned he got 16mpg....pretty pathetic fuel economy, sure he was going up and down hills, but a truck like that with a V8 would have gotten a little better, and no turbos and hybrid system to give you problems after warranty period is over, and they will give you problems.
What Toyota should have done was put an 8 speed in the Tundra with the V8 as an ongoing option, if you want a car with a truck bed fine, get the pile of junk V6, but for those that actually want their truck to last and need to haul and tow a lot of the time get the V8.
I’m torn between the two. The TT6 will perform better at higher elevations, so that’s a plus.
Great video and review. You make every vehicle so exciting. Hey listen, can you do some type of guage , maby with you hands to show the "dampness" I guess you can use dust as a guage, but that hill ishad defeated many a vehicle with dry conditions. Can you do an old school Tundra TRD PRO???? vs New???
Can we talk about your cool camera and rig set up? What are the gray wires running to the dash for ?
I like the tundra but it's just way too overpriced and I don't need a big truck so I'm gonna wait for the tacoma 😅😊
I'm pretty sure the Tacoma will be over priced too.😋
@@MatthewBonacci3881 oh you know it will. All trucks are heading that way. If not already there. I seen a loaded Ranger recently go for the same asking price as a fully loaded F150 from 2015 era. Sweew. No thanks
lol I think you'd get less glare on your screen if you close your pano. I have the pano with no issues glare but it will also depend on where the sun is in the sky and how it's hitting inside the cab. That screen is nice, and has sufficient brightness imho
Do people usually buy A Tundra and Polaris as a “set”?
Toyota seems to be a major player in offering these flat, primer-style paint jobs on their vehicles. I’ll stick to metallic myself. What I would pay to have access to Spruce Green Mica Metallic on a modern Tundra.
Wish you guys would do a U-turn measurement test on all your 4 wheel drive vehicles, important part of maneuverability
Man, I wish I could play with my truck on that course! That Polaris is sweet! Although, its 3k cheaper. Than my 21 Tacoma, TRD Off Road. I Cant wait! to see the new Taco on the course!
Be nice to have more of these in Australia, not many around and they all cost 100k+
My favorite all TOYOTA ❤
Did the truck have a Bed Tonneau Cover? Mine is the platinum, TRD offroad with tow mirrors and trd lift with 6.5 bed in CELESTIAL SILVER METALLIC. I primarily tow my Honda talon with it. Why do we get suck bad mpg in these trucks?
Any idea what the payload is on the Platinum with the TRD off road package?
Awesome thanks for these videos, where in WA is that? I want to go off-road there……
It’s our private test course near Ellensberg
@@drivingsports ok thanks
I see a Toyota, I click
Does this truck have the digital rear view mirror?
It’s hard to justify loading a bunch of big rocks in the bed when the truck costs so much. The catch 22 of these nice Toyotas.
Just ordered a limited TRD PRO, here in southern Ontario Canada.
18 to 24 month delivery time , so a 25 or 26 model year i am guessing.
The limited was over 100 000 with taxes , the platinum adds another 15 000 to the price tag .
Shoot, my dealership has 3 TRD PRO tundras coming within the month, and we have limited, platinum, and capstone trims just sitting on the lot. Why so long for the wait?
This helps maintain the value of my 23 Toyota tundra 1794
@gmann2393
Not sure why , it has been like this since covid started and hasn't gotten any better.
Every dealership within 100 miles is the same .
I do love Tundras,infact they are my second fav(Ford f150 first) but I don't see em as off-roaders but street/ luxury trucks for everyday driving.i'd option mine with long bed,tow mirrors & 3" factory lift.
Crazy prices Time for a new manufacturer to come up with good cars at realistic prices.
The previous car only made it half way, but the ground conditions were worse, the tires sank. The ground conditions are starting to look good since the Subaru.
I'm averaging 22mpg since new in my 2019 5.3L chevy Trailboss.
Pretty impressive what GM can do with a good ol' pushrod V8. The little 4.0 V6 in my 4Runner can barely get that, and it has 100 HP less.
@@trailrunnah8886the 4Runner won’t fall apart though like the 5.3.
@@thomas735 the older ones were good, I have a friend who had a 5.3L 2001 Sierra, it was still running fine when he sold it a few years back with 300k on it. I agree the newer ones with DoD are questionable though.
I love the off road course. Let’s get the new Tacoma out there.
What different with trd pro
I think this truck is the one I am going to get. It cost less than the the PRO
Any reason you havent done the Ford Expedition TImberline yet? Id love to see one go through the paces off-road on your tests!
They haven’t sent one to the Pacific Northwest for us to test yet.
People want 2015 prices with 2023 Power, tech, screens, more safety features, rear locker 😂😂😂
Any update on your Ford Ranger yiu ordered?
Build date keeps moving. Currently in January 2024 now. 😡
I have a '23 Tundra SR5 TRD sport, no locker... do you think it needs all the extra goodies to do your trail ??
I would just skip all that nonsense and add an aftermarket locker, and skid plates, get rid of the running boards/steps option and put sliders on it and have money left over. Just buy the base model 4x4, add an ARB locker or any auto locker will do as well. Stick to 17" or maybe 18" wheels and you'll have more space for tires with more sidewall for better ride and less issues with tire damage on trails. All those fancy goodies they add are garbage, and way too expensive for what they are.
I had an 08 base model Tundra, but with the 5.7L V8, and 4WD....had plenty of features, if I could have got it without the safety nannies it would have been even better LOL....never felt the need for a locker, the ATRAC and good tires with 4WD did very well even in some pretty precarious spots I got into in deep snow and a couple of occasions some deeper muddy areas up hunting.
Toyota lost my business when they just completely discontinued the V8 option in the Tundra and went straight for that stupid turbo V6 crap. Yes, when you buy a vehicle that you are gonna keep for 10+ years, you want the V8, not the turbo underpowered engine garbage....they don't bother to tell customers that anytime you want to get out of your own way you are gonna get worse fuel economy than a V8 or larger engine period...and all that 400+ horsepower don't happen at all without those turbos and guzzling gas. 16mph, that's HD truck fuel economy...and actually many of them now get around that or better when unloaded....so a 1/2 ton truck getting that kind of fuel economy in today's world is pretty pathetic.
Still no tow hooks 🪝....so ridiculous. Nice truck but we will see if turbos and a v6 is as good as the V8. My 20 Tundra equals or betters this truck towing and fuel consumption.
Thankful they reversed course and added them to the Tacoma.
Brand new Nissan Titan Pro-4X has a N/A V8 & rear locker.
Beautiful truck but you have to have a lot of disposable income I feel. It would be nice to have a tundra or a fullsize truck but I can't justify a fullsize unless I have a business to write it off. The tacoma or a midsized truck is very appealing to me. The capacities are decent, better mpgs and the power output is alot better than what they used to be. Plus one turbo is cheaper to replace than two.
I really hope the new Tacoma hybrid 4x4 can get better fuel efficiency. At least 25 to 27 MPG. Otherwise I'm thinking the Chevy Silverado 3L diesel is the truck to buy since it can get 25 to 30 MPG.
Just make sure you understand how mpg translates to fuel cost per mile.
@@ALMX5DP I do. That's the downside with the Chevy diesel. Especially if the emissions system goes out or other reliability issues. I'm probably better off with the Tacoma. I've had my Honda Accord for over 10 years and 150,000 miles. I'm sure I would keep a truck for the next 15 years.
Beautiful truck
Maybe the bad MPGs are because you're really enjoying the power😅😅
After reviewing the remolded Tundra and also seeing videos of the new Tacoma coming out soon I decided I will buy the 4Runner next year before Toyota releases and ruin it like their other new models.
the mustache around the grill should always be color matched.
All the office or remote workers driving there 85k pickup without a scratch on the bed liner makes me chuckkkkkkllle and if u get mad this comment u must b one 😭
The lack of AWD to 4 HI to 4Lo is a massive deal breaker. This isn't the 1970s and the new systems are very capable. A real lifesaver on patchy road conditions where a 2 speed transfer case is a bad choice.
Hi can you tell me the name of that color please
Lunar Rock.
Wish theyd put the tacoma or sequoia grill on it
I have a 2011 Tundra with the 5.7 V8 and get similar mpgs as this hybrid max.... Are the emissions the same?
I have a 2019 Tundra 5.7 V8 and get 11.5mpg. I'm a bit skeptical about your claims.
My 08 crewmax 5.7 4x4 I got 15-16 mpg.
12 4.6 double cab 2x4 17-18mpg.
My 24 limited non hybrid 4x4 20 mpg. The 08 and 12 were v8 and the 24 is twin turbo v6.
08 and 12 both got to 200k with no problems at all.
My dad is getting a black tundra 2024
Sir, I did not see the details from you about the slow and fast diflux. You talk a lot. Why is that? I want the details.
7:50 because no one that buys these 75K trucks are actually taking them off road. I’d be surprised to see them towing or even utilizing the bed space. Let alone mud and dirt on them.
It’s just a status trim. “I have the platinum TRD hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
I want one, but why the heck are trucks so expensive!! lol
Because people are buying them as soccer mom family sedans now...trucks used to cost less than a car...people figured that out, then out came extended cab and crew cab trucks, then came the fancy interiors, then all the luxury car crap...so now you pay ridiculous prices on trucks because they cater to people who never use them as a truck.
"Mildpeaks" LOL
"oh well"
Does this one come with 3” lift ?
They price these trucks as if they were still being built in Japan… not a jab at US manufacturing, it’s just there’s no across the Pacific shipping cost, the materials are clearly cheaper.
75k is a nope
You can get that same truck for 69,000.
Sikkkkkkkkk
If you want a full size truck by a Super Duty. The Tundra roll out was abysmal to say the least. They killed the Tundra removing the V8.
Right, less than a Hummer! It's also less than a House, a Yacht, a private Jet... 🤣🤣 Why are trucks so expensive? They are out of my price range so I'm looking at a mid-size truck, Frontier or Tacoma. Still coming close to $50K.
😎 Sunglasses dude
Buy the 2021 V8. bye
The Polaris is worth more than my truck
It’s a truck. Not a rig. One more thing. 99% of truck owners are not going off road because they have to. Therefore wheels and auto high doesn’t always need to be there.
Honey wake up Driving Sport TV just uploaded
I feel like Toyota didn’t put much effort on Tundra and Sequoia compared to Tacoma.Front tow hooks and lack of space management in boot of Sequoia is kinda hit and miss in my opinion.
Lol
@@TrymeAsshole For what??
Supposedly the toyota US guys really pushed for hooks on the tundras, and used the backlash to convince toyota to put them on the taco.
AEF power makes some hooks, I might buy a set for mine. unfortunately the tow rope would be pretty dang close to the bumper though.
Anyone paying full price for a new truck in 2024 is a fool
Neat. Way too expensive.
Platinum. Poser truck. 20’s are fine.
That was my thinking. Sure it's capable of going off-roading but the people who buy this just want to look like they're going to go off-roading without actually ever leaving the pavement.
Although it’s a nice truck, Platinun and Capstone are the two worst Tubdra trims. The power leg extender never works.
Glad I got a PRO!
New taco looks much better
Really? Most have said it's basically a baby Tundra lol. Take the Tundra and shrink it and you'll have the new Tacoma
Now I want tacos.
@@chibbyylolYeah, no. Ain't NO mistaking the grill on the new Tundra... EVA. A face only a mother could love.
@@chibbyylol looks much prettier, and it doesn't look like tundra at all
@Twink… This is the first time I hear this. Nobody before said that the Tacoma looks anything like the Tundra. And honestly it doesn’t. Which isn’t surprising because two different teams designed and engineered them.
Tundra did so well due to the Toyota secret sauce engineering and over engineered suspension and power train.
For that kind of money why not just get a new Chevy Silverado ZR2 with the diesel?
For that kind of money I'd be buying an HD truck, not a soccer mom family sedan.
@@wildbill23ckinda depends what you want or need out of a vehicle no?
The prices are higher for lower quality trucks 😬
Time to take some of those widow makers down. Don’t want a dead tree to flatten something!
let me do you guys a favor....press 4 on your keyboard
$75K? Gimme a break, Toyota.
Pavement Princess
keeps me wondering when a truck like this does everything, why do we need a landcruiser or 4runner anymore..
Those tires suck so bad on the truck i had to change mines after 14k miles
Nisan frontier has a bigger engine though! Toyota engines are tiny on a full size truck
For that price, I’m buying an F150 Tremor.
Thats $4K more than I Paid for my 2002 Porsche 911 Brand New
Full Sized trucks are too big in almost every metric
OMG GAS HOGGER n Over Priced😮. U can sell but I'm not buying...
Worst part is Toyota dropped the V8 because of fuel economy standards....yet the replacement gets worse fuel economy LOL. I usually got 19mpg with my 08 5.7L V8 equipped Tundra, but it also had the 4.30 axle ratio so it could actually tow quite well for a 1/2 ton truck. It was built to be a work truck, not a soccer mom grocery getter sedan that people keep buying trucks for.
