See, Tim, if you purchased a 2021 Toyota Tundra then you wouldn't have problems, LOL 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.
If you press your remote lock button once and then twice and on the third time press and hold the lock button the third time your lights will start flashing that means you just activated your remote start feature.
You live in the same town as me thats super cool would love to meet up with you and get some pointers for my channel

hydraulic roll control not only helps flatten-out the ride in corners but reduces “head-toss” when off-roading, saving
you from whacking your noggin against the roof rails when crawling through whoops and potholes.

It's perfect for me to tow my boat from the house to the water. The Rivian's ability to drive in 3.5 feet of water is
perfect for boat ramp launches.

I own a 21 Highlander Limited, remote start feature is the same way, it shuts off when you hit the unlock on the FOB. The steering wheel is also only half heated(bottom half). It gets really warm though. Still a nice truck
This is the kind of real-world, daily-driver info that I feel most TH-cam channels unfortunately miss. Thanks for a true unbiased owner review.
I like that he doesn't try and blow smoke up our butts like some of the other reviewers who probably get paid for the reviews.
@@danielk0106 yeah those reviews are like that because they are sponsored
@@danielk0106 I think there are also a lot of “justifying my purchase” type reviews. We all want to feel we made a smart decision even when it wasn’t. Want to like this Toyota but lots of red flags that need to be resolved.
Let’s talk review after 36k.
@@mkyhou1160 kinda like the iPhone and Android wars. 🤣
I'll drive my 2017 until it croaks. All that tech is going to be nothing but a problem IMO.
Yup. Glad to have a 2018 4Runner before they upgraded all the tech.
That's a fact, not opinion.
Great honest review! I love my TRD 2017 Limited and am considering the new 2022. I think I’ll probably wait a year or two until the kinks get worked out. Outstanding. Thank you.
Same here!
Also good to wait until truck prices drop. 2017 is still pretty new for a truck that isn't abused. I'm waiting til 2025 and I'll probably get a 2023. By then, all the supply chain issues should be fixed.
I bought a 23 tundra platinum 2 weeks ago. Traded a 2020 model. Man it’s night and day as far as power and ride and looks go. I loved the 20 model no issues at all after 119000 miles. I get compliments all the time on the looks. I was pumping gas yesterday and a man walked around it and said it was the best looking truck he had ever seen. If the reliability is there like the previous generation Toyota has something that will sell millions.
Lol. Nope.
Now I know why the salesman was drooling over my 2021 when I stopped by the dealership to check out the 2022 in person.
Growing up I worked as a manufacturing engineer building the NASA spacesuit. Circa 1983. Shuttle hey day period in time. As engineers we tested every possible scenario and that includes the scenarios that realistically are never going to happen. The computer guts / brain / control center of the suit was the DCM - display and controls module. All of that was hardwired circuitry. Later we put surface mount programmable chips on the boards and improved missions parameters. That was mid 80’s. About 35 years ago. Now everything is software driven and SHOULD WORK!!! Engineers today obviously are not as diligent at pressure testing every feature. Plus they probably work the software in a vacuum while the rest of the truck is in design. It’s like they missed SYSTEM TESTING when you finally bolt everything together. Toyota’s reputation is on the line with this truck. They got rid of the bulletproof V8 and that old truck had few bells and whistles. A simpler truck. Which probably helped it earn its ultimate reliability reputation. We will see on this new version. After seeing what Tim posted here and after hearing from others I’m not buying one of these Tundras in their first couple years of production. I don’t want to be the system test engineer reporting problems they should have already done test scripts on. No thank you. Toyota. DO YOUR JOB! You are charging nearly $10k more for this truck. At least match the old truck for reliability. Again. Your reputation is on the line here.
Great vid! Thanks for all the information. Yes it seems Toyota needs to work these type of annoying issues out. Thanks for being honest with us. We need more people like you.
You know what would be a great idea? Access lights on the B pillars right above the access to the seatbelts.... I know it sounds redundant but I feel this is a piece of redundancy that anyone could get behind
To get your profile to log in everytime go to Settings-> Personal Info -> Link Key Active. It should log in at the same time your phone connects.
I had the 2020 Tundra Limited, same tech glitches, clunky phone app remote start etc. Yet what a great ride & the automatic (electric) rear window! Traded it in for a (of all things) Hyundai Santa Cruz with a nearly flawless technical system after dealing with the Tundra
I agree, the so called "reliability claim to fame" is wearing thin when everything else suffers. I have a 2020 lexus fully loaded and the remote start and locks is awful. You may as well get in and start it. And the app only works when it wants to, it constantly gives me errors and times out. I think I'll try a new brand where everything works and just trade in every 5 years.
Great stuff. Love the run down. I figure we get some bugs being early adopters of the new platform/model. Glad you made it home safe given the destructive weather that happened.
Yeah tornadoes in Kentucky are no joke!
The infotainment issues aren’t part of a new platform, it’s incomplete engineering.
The fact that Toyota is requiring an ongoing subscription for remote start service is enough to rule them off of my short list.
You need to get the right information this is all wrong
You can remote start from the Key Fob. No subscription/app required. Press the lock button twice within 2 seconds and then press lock again and hold for 3 seconds. Bam, remote start.
Tim did a followup video. You can remote start the Tundra with the key fob without using the subscription.
@@jakelaferney832
This will be ending soon tho. Idk how, probably some OTA update. Currently I start my 2020 like this...but only running for 10 min and shutting off anyways is a waste with my climate. Its a lil warmer, but not enough to clear a windshield, or blow hot enough air to make you feel better being inside rather than just going out and starting it and coming back in.
off my list also
I was going to order this week. Your video has shifted my decision to the f150. Toyota needs to get their act together and roll out features the customers want. I will never pay a monthly fee for remote start. Seems they are heading in the wrong direction
Me either. I bought a 2019 Silverado and they give you a few months to try it out. After that you have to pay…least amount is 15 a month…I declined it….now I can remote crank it with the key fob,,from a very long distance I might add…which is nice when I’m coming in from fishing and can crank it before I get to the launch….but paying was not an option for something that should be free
F150 is just as buggy. Sadly all brands are going in to this subscription type crap. The new generation of Americans don’t want own stuff anymore. The fact that cars/trucks are being finance for 7+ years is beyond ridiculous hence it’s another type of subscription as these people almost never own those vehicles. Everything is subscribed to these days…. cars, tv, radio, computer software, phones…. everything. We’re going down the slippery slope
Ford makes the best pickup you can buy, hands down. They're the only manufacturer that makes their own engine, trans, and axle. I don't like Ford as a whole and prefer Toyota for most other things but Ford is light years ahead of the other manufacturers when it comes to pickups. Ram is the next closest thing and their outsourced, non-allison transmissions are a mess. Even with diesel and an allison they are clunky. For midsize I'd consider Tacoma, but the rest of the fullsize pickup market is well outside of Toyota's current offerings and capability.
I immediately starting looking at F150s after watching this video. I was really set on the new Tundra, but that mindset has really shifted over the past week. Ford F series is still the #1 selling in America. They can't all be buggy right? 😆
@@joeblow-xy3oz I'll have to check that out. Thanks.
I work for Toyota and the remote start subscription isn’t required for the key fob. All cars that have that subscription can access it even after trial ends. Press lock to reset, then press lock twice then hold on the third time and wait for the lights to flash then let go. Also it turns off when you try to open or unlock the car to prevent theft
Toyota officially has said the key fob trick is tied to the head unit and is part of the subscription.
Quality, Dependability, Longevity. These are my top three reasons for buying a Toyota. I can deal with minor inconveniences knowing how long the vehicle will last.
Except the Toyota Tacoma line of the least reliable trucks on the road. And when it comes to brand new, I'll wait a year or so. Let it get all the gremlins out.
@@willthorson4543 🤣
This is an all new truck...time will tell.
I'm a big fan of Toyota vehicles but like any other manufacturer they have had problems from time to time. I will say I would still have alot more confidence buying an all new Toyota model over an all new domestic anything tho.
Since the Tundra is broke in now, what is your mpg? I'm super curious! Awesome videos man, keep them coming!! 👍👊
Wow. Most of the dislikes are fundamental issues that one wouldn't notice with a quick test drive at the dealership, but rather after signing on the dotted line and the first long trip. I can't believe these issues were not revealed during testing. I hope the steering wheel heater is just defective. The after market firms are going to make a fortune offering options for these basic deficiencies. I know its cool weather now but any thoughts about upgrading the transmission cooler?
This has a transmission cooler unlike the last few model years fyi.
You need to enter a pin and use 2FA to use a profile on a vehicle that you already have full access to turn on and drive? It's like they adopted computer security recommendations from some IT guy without telling him it's for a car... absolutely stupid. That would 100% be a dealbreaker for me. Also Ford lets you remote start with your phone and use it's app for free... because you just paid them tens of thousands of dollars for a vehicle.
Ram has app that lets you remote start, and it is also free. Toyota needs to make their version free.
Great review, insightful detail. I have a 2018 Tundra Platinum, dying to get the 2022 but I think I am going to wait for 2023 … these small gremlins would drive me nuts
The auto start feature that turns off on unlock is a safety mechanism to make sure someone doesn't hop in your vehicle and steal it when its unlocked.
Yeah… which is why every other remote starter requires the key be present to hit the power button. The second you press the brake to put it in gear on those, it shuts off. Poor design, not a safety feature.
I have to watch at least 5 maybe even 10 videos of someone before I make a sound decision to subscribe. And this guy has won me over there's so many car reviewers out here and alot of them don't give honest reviews. They give opinions based on them liking or disliking the manufacturer not the actual vehicle itsself. The fact that this guy gave us a breakdown of his 5 dislikes and 5 likes is outstanding. Plus the way he broke it down about using this tundra to pass slow trucks. Toyota needs to fix they're dash technology though because this is ridiculous...
I'm subscribed 👍🏿
Not going to lie the cons seem to be real deal breakers… hopefully OTA updates can correct most of the UX issues, sooner than later!
They really are not deal breakers just annoying. The door ajar beeping on my Tacoma is kinda hard to live with.
Yupp... Finicky wireless charging, faulty or weak heated steering wheel, remote start deactivated with the press of unlock button on key fob... These are big key ticket features. I'm wondering how these problems on these notable features got overlooked? Not hating on Toyota, I really want to cheer them on, so I hope we see vast improvements and fixes over the coming model years if not sooner!
@@billylee2312 I guess you’re right, but these software-on-wheels gotta be on point for people to adopt/accept, specially new platforms and people that’s on the fence between brands. Toyota will get it right and sell thousands I’m sure, but not a good first impression.
@@chreeese6464 yea totally with you… it had me at the logging to platform issue and the wireless charging. Lol
@@arod7130 I hope a OTA software update can remedy these bugs. I guess it's to be expected with the first set of trucks rolling out
Awesome video.. thank you
NOTE ABOUT THE REMOTE START:
1. The reason that when you press unlock it turns off .. it’s a safety feature so no one can jump into your truck and try to take off. It’s stupid but that why and you actually can change the settings
2- the subscription only if you want to start it from your phone BUT you can actually start it from your key and it’s free both keys have built in remote start but they don’t tell you that so you’d pay lol
Thank you
The fob will actually stop working once the free trial expires unless you pay for the app.
@@gg25813 all new toyotas have remote start wothout app, 20 carolla and 20 tundra and also 21 tacoma all have it without app, so I am assuming other ones as well.
@@gg25813 no it will not. If your car has navigation ( Audio premium package) then it should work for 10 years
@@rickper false…only certain ones have it and unless you have a specific audio package the fob will be rendered ineffective in starting your vehicle after a certain time period (3years for vehicles with audio plus)
@@tarekamer1854 many won’t have premium audio, they may have audio plus which is only 3 years on the fob
I appreciate the 5 pros and cons. My limited is being built and your vids really help anticipate some of the issues. Thank you!!
8 minutes to cover the five things you like and 16 minutes to cover the five dislikes. Way to go Toyota! Excellent review Tim! Oh and by the way I am a current 2019 tundra owner.
This new truck is a joke . It's a complete let down and sub par in almost every category...and I'm a current Tundra owner who's been waiting 3yrs for this overhaul
@@xspower21 it really is! They had how long to blow us away with cutting edge technology and they gave us what everyone has already had for 10 years. I want to like and buy it, and praise them for their reliability, but getting into a gmc denali just blows this truck out of the water! And I am a die hard toyota fan.
@@rolandleies9765 agreed, I'm heart broke that I just cant buy this thing, I'm shocked that I'm bought to go buy a Ford F150 XLT Roush in the next few weeks
2019 tundra chevy wanna be with a hint of Ford and Dodge.
I find it hilarious that all of the dislikes are all the tech stuff....the things that are suppose to so called " make things better ". The remote start by app only and having to pay the subscription to connected services is just stupid. Toyota had an oppurtunity and really blew it. I'll keep my 2017.
Some good things for sure. The bad outweighs the good right now. No way I’d put up with that infotainment system.
Congrats on your new toy. Toyota is notorious for having nightmare info systems and navigation. I love Toyotas with minimal technology for the same reason, I always say, if you want toyota reliability with nice bells and whistles, get a Lexus.
Lexus has the same nightmare info system 😅. It's a new model, glitches are expected
@@pnwmv Oh wow, I didnt know that, well damn!
So when is Lexus going to offer a Lincoln inspired truck on second thought I'll just get an LS430 and remove the trunk lid.
@@MD-tr6sh well you clearly don't know Toyota reliability is also a myth . seems a lot escapes u
The Ford F-150 with 3.5 ecoboost is fast as a rocket. The 40-70 is so quick and the interior is awesome. Wish I could test drive a tundra but that wasn’t an option awhile back
Great real-world review. I feel differently about my cabin lights because I've had cars that I thought were way too bright so I usually turn them off, but I understand your frustration. Also, I have had remote start for years and it has its place. During the winter I use it to warm the inside and melt frost 10 mins or so before I enter and sometimes during the summer to cool the car down. Since I am away from the vehicle and distracted, its good for security knowing it'll shut off if someone tries to steal it. Otherwise, we have just generally become spoiled by technology because it does not take a second to jump in and press a button!
Automakers really don't even recommend running the car at idle for more than a few minutes. You get much more efficiency by just getting in and driving away. That heats/cools the car much quicker.
Thanks for the really honest update video. Sounds like Toyota needs to work on technology. They are not the best indeed and to pay 60k on a truck you expect better. These trucks are a lot more expensive and having to deal with these issues becomes aggravating and very frustrating. Well done for the review.
Can you please give us a comparison of the new tundra vs the new F150 and which one you prefer (pros/cons)?
All that was definitely enlightening. I would expect Toyota (if they see this) to send out quite the software update within the coming month. Hopefully most of those problems can be fixed by a quick software update.
Most people would not want to have to deal with that pin thing each time. I wouldn't even want to have to deal with the profile thing. It should just default.
Seeing the moon roof alone has me wanting to go pick one up. Display looked great too.
Appreciate the very candid review. Man oh man, who would have thought so many not picky issues would be on a Toyota? And having to pay for subscription service just to use the remote start is INSANE!
bruh thats been going on for years its not the first time. you dont need to pay for it if you dont want it. People pay for junk cars to have all of these features and toyota gives you reliability and yall want to knock it down because of a remote start feature? man yall are a joke.
And the fact you can’t start it quickly from your fob you have to have cell service and wait for the app. So much for hunting or camping away from cell service and wanting to warm up your truck!
David Sandoval How do you know that this complete redesign will be reliable? NO truck manufacturers charge for using remote start. It’s right on the FOB. I use my remote start several times per day! $80/yr is nonsense! And to me, calling this things tech “reliable” is nonsense! It’s full of bugs!
Thanks for the review. As someone who lives in the cold northern climate. The issues you discussed are reason enough I would not buy this truck. For roughly half the year I depend on my remote start and heated steering wheel. Not having an actual heated wheel that I paid for is a big nope. Having to pay for subscription service to use the remote start I've already paid for is a big nope! And then the truck stopping when you unlock it, all the excessive double starting of the vehicle! WTF. Then all the connection issues you're having with the UI and your phone would drive me nuts everyday! Appreciate your honest review and showing real world issues that people would have if they bought the vehicle, wish all auto tubers would do this. I plan on keeping my current truck for at least the next 2 years, but if Toyota doesn't correct the issues you just mentioned I honestly won't even consider them as an option... which is said because I like their products.
Aftermarket remote starter is the way to go. I'm from Canada. Got that installed on my 2020 corolla LE and it works great. The remote works like my switchblade key and when unlocking the trunk it unlocks all doors at the same time. My starter runs for 15 minutes before the engine shut off and only turns off if I forget to put the key in the ignition. Best investment for $425 Canadian with taxes included or roughly just over $300 American dollars. Got the 2 remote for 2 key fobs.
@@alvinsimba734
Something tells me that maynot be possible with this truck.
@@thegreatempire3882 why do you think it's not possible with the truck. Would love to know
@@alvinsimba734
No adapter harness yet for the truck and they could in theory block any 3rd part remote start command via software patch if they so choose to citing safety concerns.
It’s a Toyota man, it’ll always start.
Great info. I love Toyota, my wife has a 2018 Highlander and I have a 2020 Tacoma. As of today my worst aggregation with both vehicles is the iPhone connection to both vehicles. Seems like it's never just right. Seems buggy and lacking
I have a 2018 Tacoma. I'm a long-time Android user, but recently made the switch to iPhone. Come to find out iPhones and Toyotas haven't worked together for YEARS! I constantly drop calls while driving. When I do it loses connection with my phone completely and I literally have to turn off my iPhone Bluetooth, then turn it back on. Then only sometimes it will connect back. This is not just annoying. Its dangerous. I just use my speakerphone now. I never had this problem with my old Android. Its amazing these two enormous companies can't figure out how to make their products work together.
And having to pay a subscription for features that should be included on a $60-70 thousand car? Thats really pathetic. Big NOPE from me.
Every Toyota auto start does that. Upsets me too on my Tacoma. As soon as you unlock door it shuts off .
It's the growing pains of being an early adopter of new tech that Toyota hasn't fully yet to work through. I think I will wait until summer of 2022 before getting my Tundra, hopefully, these things will be fixed by then.
My Tacoma does the same thing! They say it turns off for safety. It’s almost like a $19 ebay remote start system that doesn’t work right. I refuse to use it if anyone I know is around anymore. The first thing they ask is what kinda janky remote start system did I put on it. Another thing that is dumb is that you can not lock the doors with the key fob or remote app if your truck is running. You have to kill the truck lock it and then remote start it. You look like a goon setting in the parking lot getting all this done.
Amen! I have the same issues on my 2020 Tundra. Absolutely insane!
The whole idea of remote start makes zero sense. You don’t need to warm up modern vehicles. The AC comes on quickly. You don’t need or want much heat in the winter because you have a coat on. Heated seats aren’t needed if you get the more comfortable fabric seats. Heated steering wheels are another gimmick. In the winter if a car is parked outside it is warm already from the greenhouse effect.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q What state do you live? Must not be upper midwest.
@@xanderngcc I live in the northeast. I bundle up to go outside in the cold. I’d probably have a heat stroke getting in a warm/hot vehicle. I go out to the garage, get in, and go. If the truck is hot you have to keep taking the coat on and off. I hate businesses that keep it warm inside unless it’s a restaurant.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q you gotta think about the millions of us that leave for work at 4-6 AM rain sleet shine or snow and get off work anywhere from 3-6 when it’s from 0°-110° outside. It’s nice to have a comfortable vehicle when you get in to head in or home.
2 Things:
1. The remote start thing, you can remote start on the key fob. You have to hit the lock button 3 times and on the 3rd time hold it down until the truck lights up. I realize that the truck turning off when you unlock it is weird, I was informed by a Toyota tech that they do this on purpose, as the key fob and Toyota app only give enough information to the truck's ECU to start it. It is done for security purposes but I think its kinda dumb. You'll see that it only stays running for 10 minutes as well, again, kinda dumb.
2. The heated steering wheel: you probably have a defect. I test drove a limited today in Ontario, Canada and it works amazing. It was approx 35 degrees and my hands were toasty warm, I actually turned it off because it was so hot. It was heated the whole steering wheel, top, bottom sides, everything, so I think yours has a problem with it.
and then, there's the reports of a possible coming 'subscription' to keep the key fob active? would hope not. happy for all you guys who like your 2022s. with good fortune and safe driving, I hope to be in my OLD SCHOOL 2018 until they take my keys away from me...
@@kurtbecker9609 That would be hard for them to do no? how do you take away key fob functionality? Could they also take away remote tailgate opening or remote door unlock then as well?
Don't have this truck and not interested in it either, don't even know how I got here lol. Your comment caught my eye and had to reply. 1- The main advantage to having the app remote start, is the unlimited range. You can start it probably anywhere if it's like other car apps. So he's probably aware of the fob being able to do it as well. 2- I agree with you on this one, I think he got a dud and needs to take it in for a replacement.
Good chance the steering wheel heater and the cordless phone charging issue are related
Great initial rundown Tim. Hopefully those gremlins get resolved soon, even if relatively minor can be very frustrating if it happens on every drive.
Profile not recognized (I figured out how to make it work). I don’t know if you figured this out yet, or if someone mentioned this in the comments also. I bought a 2022 Tundra today. Like your truck, mine wasn’t recognizing my profile and it kept going to the guest profile when I would turn the truck off and on. Once I paired my key to my profile, it started recognizing my profile and automatically pulling it up when I would unlock the truck with the key and turn the truck on. It’s working fine now.
I still have my 2007 tundra 5.7, Just look at it this way, get in vehicle drive to where I need to go.
Don't need GPS don't need push button start and don't need infotainment system.
You look at peoples today they spend more time fiddling with the car apps then looking at the road.
I’d lose my mind with those infotainment bugs. I was planning to wait for a tundra but went ahead and pulled the trigger on an f150 in October. Really glad I did.
Oh I got some new gray hairs after the road trip.
Thinking about doing the same tbh
Great choice. I have been so impressed with my F150 with the little 2.7 twinturbo V6. 56,000 miles and zero problems and tows like a champ.
Yep going to keep my 2020..
I’m sure a simple update for the infotainment will solve the issue.
Love this review plain and simple as to what most customers will use it for. The lights for the cabin needs improving
My 2020 does the same thing with the remote start. Nothing new there.
Gorgeous and super reliable
This is why I buy old cars without any of the electronic accessories. I spent more money(and lost time not being able to drive my car) because of malfunctioning electronics. So I'm sticking to stripped down, basic models. I will not let a #!!# censor keep me from using my car anymore. I'm looking for trucks that are 15 or more years old just to avoid all that frustration. Same problem just using this phone, too. Google interferes with everything. I'd go back to the '70's in a heart beat. Good luck with your truck. I hope everything works out for you. God bless.
Oh man, so it's true and they did remove the remote start from the keyfob. That's disappointing that you'll need a subscription to remote start.
Tim did a followup video. You can remote start the Tundra with the key fob without the subscription. Something like two short presses on lock then a long press on lock and it auto-starts.
Thanks for the info! Technology frustrates me, makes me want to have less sometimes, might have to stick with my 2nd gen tacoma!
Im with you. Im a Ram guy and purposely went with a basic trim truck to stay away from all the electronics.
I have always owned Ram trucks. 01 Ram 2500 diesel 2004, 2014 sport and looking at 2021- 22 Ram 1500 Rebel never liked the glass top roof also. But the new Chevy Trail Boss the front scoops located by the front bumper on either side did not like the look at first but now I think the truck looks amazing with the front scoops just took some time to grow on me. The front of this trucks grill i think is big looking for the truck but the inside is really nice. The biggest problem with all the trucks besides all the different names that make for these trucks but the price tag has gotten out of control. $50k low end but $70k --$90k is the New Normal which is insane. I think truck companies are putting too much into these trucks and they would sell a lot more if they dropped a lot of these options. Good luck with the new truck. Hope it's all you hoped for it to be.👍🇺🇸💯
I agree with your comment, but I was kind surprised that the the top end Tundra (1794) with all the options added was around $65k. That’s still a lot of money, but its about $7-8k less than a fully loaded F150 KR.
My 2017 Silverado was by far the best handling truck I've ever drove. I"m sure this new Tundra is probably much better. I will say it had a great remote start. The remote start never shut off when you unlocked like my wife's RAV4 does, but if you turned it I accidently turned it off in 4WD, you'd have to take it to the dealership to get i programmed back to 2WD. You'd think for the money all of these issues wouldn't be there.
Toyota I hope you’re listening. I’m trying very hard to stay loyal to Toyota but that F250 Is very tempting
Love the real world review 🙏
Have you tried out the new Ram 1500 interior lighting? They have it figured out, even during travel they have little running lights over the center console and under the dashboard over the foot wells. Toyota could easily add those.
I have the Ram too and I love our interior lighting.
Yes, my 19 laramie I thought glovebox light was stuck on at first!
Great video!!. I had the same problem on my 2019 Toyota Tacoma with the wireless charger, it would only charge my phone 10% and that was it all the time. Now about the remote start, I have the same issue with my 2021 Toyota 4Runner, I took it to the dealership and told them and they said that it’s normal for Toyota vehicles to do that, they said that Toyota does it like that cause of safety reasons. I told them that what’s the point of having it then if you still had to turn it back on after opening the door??, they said no comment!!. But other than that, I love my Toyotas, really happy with them, specially my 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro!!!.
Remote start issue- for me honestly it does make sense.. what if people steal your car when it’s on start.. I like the idea that it stops as soon as you unlock the door. I own 2021 tacoma.. I started it from my app to warm it, I didn’t know that it would stop when unlock the door later ! But it did… I don’t know about other American car, if you would be able to drive once started remotely but i also own 2017 Honda Pilot, though it doesn’t stop when you unlock the door but you would need to start the car by pressing start button while putting your foot on brake to drive.
This truck with it's electronics is an absolute nightmare. Seems like a bunch of Land Rover engineers found jobs at Toyota. Gone are the good old Tundra times.
I couldn't agree with you more. This guy is clearly not a Truck guy.
@Nor Fen Yep, it started in '07 with the Tank they called a Tundra with horrible fuel economy.
Toyota built it's reputation on fuel efficiency and performance combined.
Fantastic review! I have a 22 tundra in order. After seeing so the problems in your review I think it’s a non starter till next year. I just ordered a new f150. Thank you.
Every video I have seen on the new tundra has left me more and more disappointed. Maybe it's my fault for expecting something better than what's already out there from other brands.
I feel the same way. I had high hopes too. I wish Toyota would leave the infotainment stuff to the professionals like Apple. The V8 should have been kept as an option for the first few years at least. They lost me there. V6’s always tank when towing. Sorry Mike Swears, they should have listened to you.
Great review! I have had two Tundra's ('15 and '21), both with remote start and the fact that the truck turns off when you unlock the doors drives me crazy!! Not sure why Toyota does this. I was really hoping they had fixed that on this new body style.
The gmc sierra o ram do the same I think it is in case another person try to still the car
@@denniscuevas5477 theoretically they would have to have the key in order to steal the truck once they had successfully broken into the locked truck. If the key isn’t present once you press the break to take it out of park the truck would shut off.
They should have went with bigger screen in gauge cluster makes it look like a base truck
To think about how much a 2022 Limited cost, it is unreal that Toyota couldn't even put running boards on that truck for you.
Thanks for the video. Yeah I really want to see this pull 10k.
Should be able to remote start it with key fob. Hit and hold lock button for 3 seconds each and on 3rd press hold down until lights flash multiple times
Shawn G I’d like to get some confirmation on that. Various sources have said there is no remote start from the fob, or it only works for a few years, or it only works if you pay to use the app, etc. If you pay for a vehicle with remote start, you shouldn’t ever have to pay to remote start from the fob. Do you have a 2022 Tundra?
@@elguapo8751 I got a quality aftermarket compustar system installed at a reputable place, works flawlessly, doesn't shut off if I put key in, paid for the phone service for 6 years $150... My SR didn't have remote door locks from factory so this killed 2 birds with 1 stone.
Tim did a followup video. You can remote start the Tundra with the key fob without the subscription. Something like two short presses on lock then a long press on lock and it auto-starts.
I purchased a 2020 Ram last year and I love it. At the time the Tundra would probably have been my 2nd choice but not now. I can't get over how they screwed up with the change of the front of the truck. It's just not a good look
Front end grill looks ugly AF. The same with their recent Lexus line smh.
I like it! 😜
same with the back its all bad.
@@joeblow-xy3oz we will have to wait and see how that V6 with all the bullshit on it holds up in a truck. they may die from being so ugly.
Ugliest front end since the 1958 Edsel!
Edit: Just looked at the Edsel again... Tundra is uglier I think... its close though.
Great video and detailed. I am 70 and was not a truck guy until Nov 2020 when I bought my new 2020 Chevrolet Silverado Z-71 RST Black. Would not have anything else. Everyone has their likes and dislikes as far as style but personally I hate the look of the 2022 Tundra but then didn’t like previous models either. Of course people hate the look of the Silverado also. Each to their own.
First, congrats on your new purchase sir. Second, this is why I went with a new Chevy Trail Boss LT. Thanks for the awesome review!
So I have a Tundra coming in a week. Just bought a 2021 Bronco. Really weird Toyota charges for the app and that motor stop when you unlock the doors?? The Bronco just jump in and touch the start button. They could fix this with a software upgrade.
People are already automatically calling this a flop. It’s a first model year so ofc it’s gonna have some pretty severe issues. Wait for the 23/24 models till all the bugs are gone
I don’t think it’s a flop. Just some issues.
Naw not Toyotas, 5 2007 tundras have made a million miles.
Sounds like a plan. To me this truck at these prices its going to have to prove itself for a year or two before I think of buying this New Tundra.🤔Always said,I’m in no hurry let someone else get the bugs out.😯
First off, thanks for an extensive in-depth review of what 1000 miles so far of ownership is like. Second, why is it Toyota could offer a footwell light in a 2004 Tundra (along with door panel-mounted lights but not in 2022? Also, it seems like the Limited trim isn't what it use to be. No wood accents or any other luxury touches aside from the heated/cooled seats and the seats don't even look to be actual leather. For what these trucks cost, Toyota could do better.
Thanks for talking about stuff that matters .....like passing speed! Good review....
i have a RAV4 XSE and the steering wheel does not heat up that much also, yes it stops when you unlock the doors, Toyota told me it's a safety issue, but when it detects the fob it should know i'm not stealing it.
nice video and very fair review! my question is Toyota you've been working on this truck for years and you can't get the software right out of the gate? and those interior lights? come on man were talking $20 worth of led's and no thanks for the panno roof. that thing is going to make that truck with black interior an oven in this FL heat. guess I'll be keeping my 2018 1794 Edition for a long time and I've owned nothing but Toyota's for the past 45 years. good luck to all the suckers who are paying MSRP and above. can you say upside down?
super dark with the small interior lights. thanks for all the info! I hope the infotainment system just needs an update or refresh logging in with a code every time looks like a PIA
Good rundown on issues with the new Tundra sounds like Toyota has alot to work out to correct
I think Andre at TFL was saying that the seat bottom was too short. Didn’t extend out towards his knees far enough to support him.
Ah. Thanks.
This has always been an issue for me and Toyota!
At least you have a working truck. Mine engine is blown on 2022 tundra at 35 miles. Good luck. I don’t know when I’ll ever see my truck again even though I’m making loan payments on it.
Sorry to hear!
Nice Pros / Cons list. I had something similar happened to me with my 21 accord, after it's first update the issue ironed out somewhat. I'm very interested in the new Tundra after a disappointing makeup of the Silverado(engine issues, old looking interior etc. Please continue with the Tundra Ill be checking in
Great video! I couldn't care less about the infotainment system since it supports WIRELESS CARPLAY. However, wireless CarPlay is essentially connecting as a wifi hotspot. So that plus spotty signal plus constant GPS plus background streaming can guarantee you draining > charging speed. Most auto wireless charging solutions are 7.5 watt QI standard. It won't keep up with the discharging rate period. So long distance traveling, a wire connection is still 100% necessary (USB-C allows fast charging speed which is even better). For local or short-distance travel, wireless CarPlay and wireless charging is still a killer combo for convenience.
Wireless CarPlay is another gimmick. You need to plug the phone in to keep it charged. I will be buying a base model Tundra.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q yeah and wireless CarPlay is not good for the phone battery
I feel your pain on the software. Im actually a software engineer of 25+ years. I have yet to see an "infotainment" system in any vehicle that wasnt garbage.
Everyone is going to have their own opinion, I’m sure this is a great truck once you get use to it. One thing I always look for in a car is how easy is it maintain the it. Is it easy to work on, some cars are over engineered and I’m just like “why” lol. Thanks for the video
Maybe you should have done more research on this Tundra before going all the way to Houston to get it. Maybe its a Limited issue. Good video. Very informative.
I have a 2019 Tundra, SR5, 4.8. Nothing special and not all the bells & whistles. Great truck, and I use it too. Hunting, fishing, road trips, hauling stuff from furniture to firewood. It’s not a driveway ornament. A big plus is a real key start instead of a push button and none of that engine shutting off crap at stops. I’m not a fan of a lot of paint up front around the grill or painted bumpers. So for me, the new truck looks like hell. I hope they change up some things in future years.
Maybe Toyota will listen to you and change that. Everybody hates that feature on the remote start. You start it up and then you have to start it again once your to your truck.
I never understood the point of remote start. Just start the truck and go.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q so nice to have a warm truck when it’s cold out. :)
@@user-tb7rn1il3q My current truck is my first with remote start and its great to have. Jumping in a warm truck with the windows clear of ice is great. In the summer I use my FOB to open the windows and remote start to get in a nice cool truck. Love my F150.
Odd issues… Not sure if I would really call those first year issues- they’re so obvious they should have been caught in development. Seems somewhat half baked, which is crazy when you consider how long they took to develop this truck!
And the fact that the ONLY way to get remote start is by paying a subscription is bs. Have to give kudos to Ford for not charging ever for those services through their app ( and for putting it on the fob as well).
Hoping these issues will be quickly sorted through ota updates.
Tim did a followup video. You can remote start the Tundra with the key fob without the subscription. Something like two short presses on lock then a long press on lock and it auto-starts.
That remote start thing has always bugged me about my Tundra. Can't believe they are sticking with it on such a redesigned truck. Tells me a lot...
Do you know why Tundras shut off when they are unlocked? My F150 stays on, but you still have to tap the breaks and hit the start button to put it in gear. I agree it is annoying, but its really not a big deal, right? I mean just think how nice trucks are overall today compared to 20 or 30 years ago. Have a good one
@@SignalCorps1 The issue is that it causes unnecessary wear and tear on the start system. I live in a part of the world where remote start is used multiple times a day for six months or so of every year. That's alot of wasted starts.
Next time you do a review, can you show us the oil filter access? Location and style of filter? Thanks!
It’s on the list.
These electronic systems are a PAIN in the a$$. JMO
Thanks for the detailed review! I’m frustrated for you that you had all these issues after Toyota made us wait so long for a new one. I remember my 2012 wouldn’t let me connect my phone (or any phone) unless I was pulled over. It was maddening. These kinds of issues are mistakes Toyota shouldn’t be making when they take so long to make new rigs. You could easily add more interior lighting to the doors, center console, under the seat, etc. and/or just use brighter lights. I have a keychain flashlight the size of a AAA battery that lights up my whole backyard… and a luke-warm heated steering wheel is unacceptable. I don’t know why they don’t make settings for it like the seats, like low, medium, & high heat.
I feel like Toyota always misses with the interior of the tundras, mechanically speaking they are one of the toughest long lasting fullsize trucks out there. miss my old 13 tundra. went with a 2020 ram bighorn and its night and day, the 5.7 is a rocket and the features are imo the best out of all the competition.
@@bradcreamer9744 I had big hopes with all the hype they put into an American engineer from Texas being in charge of the next Tundra. I was also hoping with all their experience with hybrids that the hybrid was going to be more impressive. Lexus seemed to have some influence on some of the Toyota car designs and I was hoping that was gonna make it's way to the Tundra. I love the new Camry's but I'm already looking forward to the refresh of the Tundra. Heres to hoping they pull out some big stops with it in the near future because IMO they absolutely need to do more to compete with the big 3, Tesla, & Rivian. My brother has a Ram and I can't deny that it's an awesome truck. I think Ram has been making the best looking trucks for awhile now but I really don't know much about their reliability.
Thanks for the review.
Looking forward to the 2023 (fingers crossed that Toyota fixes the 1st gen problems)
Thanks for a real review. I hope many of these issues will be solved by 2023 model. These issues actually make me pause before deciding between Toyota and Ford
Just get the Ford; Toyota should suffer the consequences of not thoroughly meeting customer's expectations.
@@rayrussell6258 You will have orders of magnitude more problems with the Ford. GM and Stellantis are even worse. These issues will be quickly fixed with an update.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Real world experience.............. NO you won't
@@cwqrpportable We have big 3 trucks at work. All the half tons are riddled with problems. The HD gas models are all pretty good.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Let me tell you something......... my family has owned a firm for a long time where we have a small fleet of half ton and bigger trucks. It is no wonder those trucks suffer problems, I've seen how our guys pound on them. Having said that, we've had minor issues you would have with any other truck, including Toyota.
Love the things you’ve highlighted that most don’t. Very informative
Tim, I appreciate your reviews. I'm in the market for a new truck and have rewatched many of your videos. I was hoping the new Tundra would fit my needs and wants, but am not sure. Thanks for stepping up and buying one. Ever since you mentioned the door armrest, I'm frustrated with my 2018 Silverado! But you should add #6 on your dislikes of the Tundra - no tow hooks!!! I use mine all the time but maybe I should stay on pavement. Great work!
the interior lights in my raptor are super bright with pano roof, charging problem probably is your case
Thanks for the video. It sounds like we’re a few software (maybe firmware, too) updates away from the experience we were hoping for.
What would the mileage have been in the V8? V6 engine’s have always had a reputation for not getting great mileage. Especially when you compare a mid size V6 to a full size V8.
Pull down on your email program on your phone then let it go and it will update. It forces an update right away. On an iPhone that is.
Also reboot your phone once and a while. And it has to be a complete shutdown and restart. Looks like there is going to be some updates coming from Toyota. Hope it can do over the air updates…
Wow I was under the impression that Toyota had the ducks in a row. That has to be the worst I have seen. First year or not……..
I would expect that from Ford or GM but not Toyota….
I am sure they will get it sorted but someone needs a new job….
I thought the same thing. I rebooted my phone thinking it was the issue. The V8 would likely be 1-2 MPGs less.
Ram Hemi gets similar mileage without turbos. GM 5.3 also very efficient. Will be interesting to see long term mileage.
AI is going to be the death of us all. I used to like nice shiny latest models, but when you get to my age you realize the rape your going to receive yearly with insurance and personal property taxes.
I'll stick with my 2008 tundra till it dies, then replace with a used one!
Hi and thanks for your reports on the Tundra. I just picked up my crewmax last week. I am only getting 13 mpg on the first tank. Where is the 20 ish milage? Did yours take a bit of a brake in ? Thanks for your work. Brian
It will go up. My first tank or 2, I was “experiencing” the powertrain, so poor mpg.
