- The 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794 might not have all the pizzazz newer pickups have, but it still is a very reliable pickup with plenty of luxury and a solid, proven powertrain. Watch Tim talk about the pickup and its faults. He would know. He used to own one.

The 1794 is my favorite, I really want it. It mixes luxury and work perfectly.
I've been a Ford guy most of my life even went through a dodge ram phase when I was a kid but my 2019 Tundra is my favorite truck ever.
I just bought a 2019 Tundra TRD 1794 in the Mesquite Brown. I love this truck it rides smooth and fits all my needs. I’m a bow hunter and fisherman but when it’s time to go out on the town I have recieved a lot of compliments on this truck.
I should’ve got one of those!
I know that I will never on a new vehicle with start / stop technology. I think it's ridiculous! The 6.2 liter Chevy gets great mileage and is awesome but there are quite a few complaints on forums with issues on these trucks. The Tundra is pretty even with V8 trucks before the cylinder deactivation .
I want one but I kind of want to wait for the redesign. Heard some great things. But I wouldn’t mind the 5.7. It is a bullet proof engine.
good review
Another thing is the Tundras seem to be the most reasonably priced trucks available right now... Even the 1794 is reasonable compared to the Brands
They really are I just bought a brand new 2019 TRD Offroad with most of the bells and whistles for $37k. Considering we traded in my 17 Tacoma and got $31k $1k less then what we paid for it even with 12k miles and 2 years on it they also hold their value extremely well.
How would you compare the adaptive cruise of these 2018 Tundras to new gen f150s? I know one difference is the fords (and newer tundras) can come to a complete stop and resume, but other than that does it work just as well?
Had it for a week, didn't know it was 6 speed trans...nice.
Anyone can talk a lot of junk about certain brands. Picking on others / products, that's easy. Generations in my family own Ford trucks / cars and they live by it. They will not change. I bought a new 2018 Tundra Crew Max 1794 Edition and they all said i broke the family rule. I don't buy b/c the family wants me to. I like my Tundra and with over 60K, it never broke, not once and it runs great. That says something. Maybe the family generation should change their rule. To me it's money well spent.
I think brand loyalty is not as strong as it once was. I see a lot of different brands selling these days with good volume. New buyers seem more willing to take a risk.
You made a smart choice!
Nice truck. I have no interest in all the "Safety Sense" garbage. I've been driving for 34 years (12 years as an OTR Truck Driver), have driven from one end of this country to the other many times. I have never needed blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control or any of that stuff. I stay aware of my surroundings at all times and actually drive my vehicle. I look before I pass and actually pay attention at all times while driving. Dont need the truck to drive for me.
Cool story.
Well it comes standard so suck it up
This is my favorite trim. Way more reliable than any new Ford, about the same as any Chevy, and beats Rams ass. I will probably get a 1794 some day down the road!
Test drove a 1794 a week ago just out of curiosity.....and still love my f150 king ranch 😊 just a much more upscale truck vs the tundra
I miss my Tundra. I had the uncomfortable SR5 and she drove like a Soviet tank. We are itching towards 30k subscribers! Think we need a party of sorts? Fans on?
FAN ON! LOL. I average between 1k-1.5k subs a month. It is really just a matter of time.
Just don’t become that “guy” online.
Palmer Thompson you make up more then a third of the comments of this video 😂
Hes a Ford boy lol 😂
👍👍👍👍👍😎
I have a 2012 SR5 TRD Off Road and I love it I have 150k miles on it and I have had No problems with it whatsoever.. I had a 2008 GMC Sierra before and it was nothing but trouble with it.. Needless to say I was very disappointed with it
No spray in bed liner from factory
It's normally a port installed option. Chevy doesn't have a spray-in from the factory, either. Not sure about Ford, Ram or Nissan, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same for them as well.
@@cnoyes72 Dealers do spray in bedliners or at least my local Chevy Dealer.
@@indman101 Not all of them do (mine doesn't).
Crazy answer to that...they have a sunroof which puts it right at the weight limit between class 2 & class 3 truck. Bed liner adds just enough weight to put it over. Better to add liner after purchase.
@@cnoyes72 Chevy now offers spray in bed liner from the factory
Thumbs up for no sunglasses...
Yes!
Most truck manufacturers have start/stop, cylinder deactivation, or some kind of technology to increase MPG, why does the tundra not have it? Or how is it able to not be required to have it. Always thought it was CAFE standards that made manufacturers include those options.
All the tricks to improve MPG, like you listed, aren't required by CAFE. They aren't mandated at all.
Toyota doesn't offer those things on the Tundra because it does not see fuel economy being a top concern for its customers. It is one of the purchase reasons, but it isn't the most important. They would rather focus on reliability over fuel economy. You simply get better reliability if you have less parts which the stop/start, cylinder deactivation and turbochargers add.
Now, keep in mind, Toyota does offer both stop/start and turbochargers on other vehicles. Just not the Tundra. Price is a concern here as well.
They also get around CAFE because they can use credits obtained by selling the Prius to offset Tundra sales.
I talked to a Ford Service Manager and he claimed the vast majority of customers hate the stop/start feature and constantly deactivate every time they get in their truck.
RB Musser count all my automotive journalist colleagues in the group of haters. I don’t know anyone who likes it
The stop start crap sucks!
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk it’s “something you get used to” (says my friend with a new Silverado). Not sure if I like it either. I’ve driven cars with it and didn’t like it. Not sure why it’s not a option to keep off in the settings so you don’t have to turn it off every time you get in
This guy needs to drive a modern truck then he would know what luxury is. Leather seats don't make it luxury.
Yeah that guy sucks. No idea WTF he is talking about ...
Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk obviously its all of new technology that will be out of date in 5 years
He is driving reliability, but I agree, this is and old school truck
It's a pickup truck, not a lexus
@@andybub45 Exactly. Does what I need it to do and I've never had an issue with it. I won't hate on other brands. I never understood why people need to do that. You enjoy your ride and I'll enjoy mine.
More like a grocery getter.
At least it can, Ford will break down on the way back home. Tundra is a very long lasting dependable pickup truck. It really has some badass off-roading too.
Nah, love my limited.
Luxury wimpy ass. No tow mirrors for crew cab , no 6.5ft bed. No storage under rear seat for tools .
All of these things are options on other trims. This is not your $100,000 F350 your used to. This is a truck that is designed to be as dependable as possible and hard working. It is in no way more luxury than a new Found On Road Dead. Also doesnt break down. What a Ford fanboy.
Towing mirrors are an option on most trucks and Tundra is no different. You can get dealer installed towing mirrors.
Not a working mans truck.
Get the SR5 then Chad.
We get it, your a Ford fanboy. There are other trims that will satisfy your needs, this isn't the only one. And yes, this is a working man's truck because it doesn't have all of the new features that others have. Its reliability and durability where it counts.
