    Andre, everything you hate is exactly why I want this truck. Give me a simple, functional, reliable truck everyday over what Toyota is turning out today. I don’t need bells and whistles, I need to get from point A to point B and haul some shit. That’s it.

      This^^^ is why people that buy Toyotas do! If I wanted all the bells and whistles I could get a Ford and deal with all the break downs and expensive repairs. I do not want that in a truck! I can add any of those through the after market and usually get better products like Car Stereos I can buy better systems if I want them later on and the same for anything else.

    I have a 2015 tacoma trd pro with over 250,000 miles. The thing is an absolute tank! I change the oil when it tells me to, change the air filter when I remember, changed the axle and trans fluids at 100K, never changed the spark plugs, changed the fan belt once because why not? The interior still functions great, drives great, has no features to become outdated, love it.

      Perhaps Andre should have just bought this and claim it to be a project truck to ”fix” the things he doesn't like. It would have been less awkward than presenting it this way. The things he's complaining about would seem valid as he's comparing it to modern trucks today's but it's not really fair in the end. It's like buying an 80s model F-150 and complaining that it doesn't have a nav screen or power windows.
      But having said that, there are always going to be some things we don't like with any vehicle, new or old.

    The lack of tech and bells and whistles is why the truck is reliable. I will agree that the lack of a rear locker is just corner cutting by Toyota but the other stuff is what keeps it reliable. Toyota doesn't make vehicles reliable with magic and pixie dust. They keep their vehicles reliable because there very slow to adapt new tech and keep things simple. What your seeing today with Toyota and all the fancy bells whistles and tech is one of the many reasons there having so many issues.

      @djjd3027 I'm not sure, lack of suspension squat, superior interior design, quality cruise control, good interior storage, simple but updated infotainment, nav, gauge camera/backup camera, and drive mode technology. Constitutes a difference in reliability if it's not present in a truck
      I agree with the tiny tire, rear lock, and to a degree the awd

    The reason the Safari Snorkel is so big is because it is designed to be able to deliver the maximum airflow the engine can take. ( no restriction). A lot of 4WD vehicles here in Australia are fitted with them ( including my TD42TD Patrol). We have a lot of corrugated roads with fine bull dust. A raised intake draws in cooler, cleaner air.

Hate just seems like such a strong word when you knew exactly what you were getting into. If there was one thing I hate on my 4Runner though would be setting up Bluetooth on the antiquated radio. So as you plan to do, I fixed by picking up a twenty dollar auxiliary Bluetooth adapter. Thanks for the video, Andre. I hope the truck continues to grow on you and look forward to those updates.

    Limited Slip is sufficient for snow and most off road. You don't need a locker.
    But an open diff is a handicap. I added limited slip to an old Wrangler and it was a major improvement. I tested it out by driving challenging mud/snow climbs in 2WD, and it worked great.
    My used Taco came with limited slip, also. I didn't know until I actually drove it for a while. Works great, no fuss.

      For on road winter driving an open diff with 4 Auto is the best setup. Then off road you want a locker to perform best in both situations. Ram’s 4x4 option is the way to go. I’ve had all setups and 4 auto with an electric locker is the best.

      @moonwalker8172 for on road snow driving, symmetrical AWD is far and away the best. It's not even close.
      Limited slip is superior to open rear diff, both on and off road, in snow. Doesn't have the crazy good handling of symmetrical AWD., but it doesn't just spin a rear wheel when one is sitting on ice. And open diff 4wd is still inferior to true AWD.
      Automatic with extra cooling is good for some things off road, but just using 4Lo is fine for most, and manuals don't burn up.

    • @moonwalker8172
      @moonwalker8172 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@barrydworak I agree symmetrical AWD is the best available in automobiles, however trucks aren’t available with that option. That’s why 4 auto with open differentials is the best truck system for slick conditions. Contrary to what many think, the anti-slip differential is actually not the best for icy driving since it creates a push condition (crabbing condition) and reduces steering.

      What? In order for your truck to be tracked by GPS it needs a GPS satellite signal. If you don't have that signal then I don't care how magic the SD card is, your truck won't show up on the map. The only thing the SD card does is allow you to update the maps of the manufacturers Nav. Let me know how much it costs to get a new map SD card and how many people actually pay to update it? Yes... If you are using CarPlay or android auto they need a cell signal. But if you don't have that signal, you can always switch over to the manufacturers Nav which also stores its maps in the flash memory of the head unit (same as having an SD card). The only difference is that you don't need an SD card to update those maps, they are done every once in a while over the air. Their is absolutely no benefit or advantage of having an SD card reader to update your maps.

    For truck rear suspension towing height, I run aftermarket airbag helpers. There easy to install, no drilling, uses existing frame holes & spring unbolt mounts.

    Beautiful truck Andre and welcome to the 2nd Gen Tundra family. I have a 2020 Limited 4x4 TRD-Offroad and I love it. The technology is a bit old, that's agreeable. U do plan I'm on upgrading the radio (already upgraded the speakers). I have lots of plans. Amazon has a few options for console organizers that are cool and useful.

    Adaptive cruise distances should always reset to the longest distance to remind the driver that if it's raining, snowing, or the vehicle is hauling, the shortest distance is too short for the breaking distance needed. It is for safety.

    Cruise control saves your settings if you learn to use the lever properly. If you want to start using the same speed and distance as you had previously, press up on the lever, not down or cancel.

    Something that didn’t make this list is lack of trans cooler. I don’t tow much so not a huge deal for me, but may be another thing to add on your list of upgrades.

    No AWD mode is a deal breaker these days for me. Live in the mountains and drive in variable conditions, I don't want to worry about damaging my drivetrain turning a bunch in 4hi on dry stuff or constantly switching in and out of 2hi/4hi. It's one of the main reasons I drive an F150 instead of a Tundra.

      @Johnson13210 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @TheJohn8765 You're incorrect. I own one. It's not recommended. Now heavily snowed over icy, slushy pavement might be OK, but not direct contact asphalt. The front and rear diff are different. The Toyota Sequoia does indeed have a true full-time all wheel drive of those years, but the Tundra doesn't. Look it up!

      So the thing is not made for snowy roads that have asphalt or pavement underneath them? When I go from work to home, or home to the store, or even home to the mountains, I find that pavement is a very nice thing to have. I haven't found much use for driving over rocks and trees and large gaps in the earth so far.

    Some additional things Andre is going to hate. Braking when towing, OEM brake controller and the lack of good tow mirrors.

    BTW, welcome to the Tundra club.

    I love those trucks Andre. You made an awesome purchase. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the mpg and like you say it's worth it for that fantastic engine. Your family will fit in it with room to spare and it will pull your boat as good as anything out there. I'm glad you got the blue one too because that is a good looking truck. I want to see all the videos on it.

      And the 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 on the first gen was even better and able to go 1 million miles. That was the best yota motor ever made and likely the best petrol engine in automotive history.
