The only reviewer so far that can describe more to me about what’s under the hood than what might be mentioned on a spec sheet as well as insight about the truck that I’m actually interested in.
I simply love your channel. Straight to the point..funny..informative.. and such a lovable personality. Keep up the incredible job !! As always, looking forward to your future videos. 🔥 💯
I have the last gen and I love it, great brakes, plenty of power, great road trip vehicle for the open country. Hope it proves to be as reliable as the last gen was.
I have seen more then a few reviews from other sites. Not one removed the engine cover and explained the details of the intercooler set up and other details. The best review so far for this new truck. Great job 👍.
You often say the same things I'm thinking. Hard to explain how that feels (though there's a lot going on in my mind), other than great. I have so much respect for who you are and what you're doing here.
I think you are the first YTer to ever mention that no turbo is ever going to last as long as a big V8. Which the first dean of our engineering school (two PhDs in combustion engineering and patents used on 90% of the diesel locomotives in the world) said a long time ago. Bravo, Sarah!
*SARAH* coming through with a real-world review. You ask the unaskable..."Will a turbo engine last a million miles?" I can only imagine that you were up early to get this posted before the trip back to Azizarona...Amerizon...Azzbakistan...back to Tucson. lol Looking forward to the unveil! 🤩
This is the first of the new Tundras that I haven't hated the looks of the front end. The interior is big enough to be a house, and even includes some wood trim & multiple "lone" stars to complete the "Texan wife/mom designed it" look. The Texas mom crew seems to be who every pickup manufacturer is catering to now with the multilink rear suspension systems they all seem to be switching to these days. I'm not disparaging the manufacturers, as this is just smart business given the demographics of their 1/2 ton pickup buyers over the last 15 years or so. I just think that it's funny how so many moms buy giant trucks to drive their kids around cities at 30 mom because "they're safer." Totota will sell every Tundra that they can get enough computer chips to build. And rightly so. Thanks for the review. Hope you enjoyed Texas. 🌟 Side note: Has anybody else noticed that the outer designs of our tech are going back to the late 1990s - early 2000s? The center screens on many vehicles look like the slide-n-flip DVD players that were in half the cars in The Fast and the Furious. The Moto Razr is back. Gaming computers are back to using full-size towers. Some digital displays have tachometers that look like they were taken from the "digital" display conversions that people used to put in the 1990s Chevy pickups.
I am going to get mine this week. I stumbled across this review and I am going to subscribe because this was by far the most in depth and entertaining review of this thing. Kudos.
Honestly I think it’s a gorgeous truck and while I was a little bummed about the lack of a V8 I’m not sad that it has a turbo V6 honestly if I had the money to buy one of these awesome trucks I would but they are sadly out of my price range loved this review and as a native Texan I hope you enjoyed your visit the my home state
Genuine review from a genuine reviewer. Awesome as always. The breakdown of the engine code into "Foxtrot Toyota Salespitch" was classic! Keep up the amazing work. 80-series daily driver owner with true 4.5L and 350K miles and climbing...6 cylinder motors are definitley Toyota's wheelhouse.
I grew up just a few miles from that factory, and I used to race my '71 Cutlass right across the street at San Antonio Speedway when I was in high school and college. Thanks for the trip to my old stomping grounds!
Once again Sarah's review is the best. The video clips from the factory was a nice touch. A TRD BRO would be fun; Toyota will never do it but that is what the aftermarket is for.
Watching your head oscillate while stabbing the throttle was pretty funny. And I would agree on the twin turbo longevity factor which can only be determined with time.
Toyota should be grateful that you provided such a knowledgeable, personal, charming and witty expose. This is an example of your dynamic abilities to make do in unfamiliar circumstances. Not sure if you were alone but, I know of your creative control, and it was in full view. So many highlights in this one. Your impression of a turbo whine was proof that you have a singing voice. I could go on. As always,thank you.
Really nice review, Sarah. I like generally like the redesign - just seems like a bit much chrome on the exterior. I am guessing the twin turbo V6 has both DI and PI to control carbon deposits...it will be interesting to see if this engine will suffer any oil dilution problems.
I'm really glad Toyota finally replaced the inside of the bed. That composite should last forever, unlike the the steel that rots out. Question, where is the fuel filler door? The tank is on the passenger side now, but I didn't see where you fuel it at.
That is a nice interior, way better than the crazy red interior in another Tundra review. Seems like it would need the hybrid for a little more oomph hauling a big trailer. Do you get your choice of hood-grasshopper colors? The off-road robot mode is pretty sick, even if it is something kind of wierd to get used to!
Reviews on the road with Sarah! Thanks for bringing us along to the Hill Country. Fun stuff and still a great review with one hand behind your back. (Without the lift, desert, smock, and glasses).
Hey Sarah, that was awesome I have watched a bunch of videos of the new tundra and you were the first to actually take the engine cover off cool that you showed the underneath and the factory great job👍 it would’ve been neat if they would’ve kept the V8 as an option hooked up to a 10 speed transmission if only to compare the two but if you’re going to try to get longevity of a TwinTurbo V6 I think you definitely start with a Toyota no doubt about it. A little weird yeah maybe but wonderful absolutely🐧🐧🐧👍
I will be running BG MOA (Motor Oil Additive) through the dealership with every oil change. This will cover the turbos for up to $4k in repairs, regardless of the mileage I will eventually have on the truck. An extra $18 per oil change is worth it to me.
Always nice to see a different perspective on the truck especially from a lady's point of view Sarah you're more original than you think, most of the other TH-camrs I will not say their names but they're all in it for patreon buying a truck at the end of the year to save on taxes asking for money selling T-shirts blah blah blah you do it because you enjoy the mechanics you enjoy the photography but most of all you enjoy that feat of knowledge more than mostly everyone else for some reason.
Nice to see they brought the frame manufacturing in house. It would be so nice to have a stripped down model with locking diffs so I can use it as a truck.
Watching the truck hopping when you "gave it the beans" is what some people refer to as axle wrap, where the axle is twisting and unloading as the tire hops like a spring.
In the Mid 80s Tube lights and pleated shades were held back along with 2 tone trim , the designs were simple pencil on paper or scrap wood taken to the saw room brought back to the trim Room matched with vinyl Leather suppliers and then sent up to the office for approval , then a meeting among the saw room and designers ,and trimmers then back down to a Selected builder. Then it's put on hold for production for maybe a year ,till the public accepts the change in design . Sometimes 10 years ahead of the public.
I'm sorry for Charlie, but you're the perfect Richard Rawlings couple. And he's from texas too! No more words needed XD Congrats for the channel you're amazing
Hi Sarah , I am form Cape Town and I which we could have the Tundra here......... I found laughter , insight into your video and thanks for the more technical approach , like lifting the engine cover and investigating what's going on under it. Well done
Outstanding as always! I'm thinking about upgrading from my 09 Tacoma to a 4RUNNER, Tundra, or... Prius. Lol Definitely not a Prius. Maybe I can find an old 5 ton or deuce and a half.
That factory tour was next level, Seriously enjoyed that segment behind the production process of how Toyota puts these new Tundras together. I'm surprised how much I'm really starting to like this new Tundra, usually prefer the Nissan Titan (still do) but with the new TT-V6 Toyota brought out for this, I'm quite intrigued. Gonna be interesting to how Nissan responds.
"Brown on the outside, and brown on the inside". 😁 That actually was my response to a very drunk woman in a bar, who had apparently run out of ways to attack me verbally, and had finally chosen to call me an Oreo, _"'Cause yooorrr Black on the outside and White on the inside!!!"_ I giggled, I did, and said to this very drunk White woman, "Ummm...Perhaps it might be a bit more appropriate to call me a Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie instead. You may not have noticed, but I'm _Brown on the outside, and Brown on the inside"._ 😁
Happy Tuesday evening Sarah!!! Made me miss Texas from my AF days, don't miss the humidity though, I'll take Tucson heat any day, of course temps are dropping quick as of late. Great review as per always, your humor, smarts and weirdness are why most of us are here. Stay excellent!!!😎
The longevity is exactly why I wont buy a truck like this. Not only do I think you're right about the turbos not lasting forever, but I think taking a small displacement engine like this and literally forcing it to make the power of a big engine all but guarantees it'll never live up to the longevity of previous generations of tundras. The harder you ask that little engine to work the sooner something is going to fail. That said, trucks are outrageously expensive these days so if I buy one, I expect to get a long life out of it.
I was about to say the same thing: That's too much power out of too small an engine, to say nothing about the added stress of turbochargers. And judging the way Americans drive, I seriously doubt there will be a lot of million-mile survivors, if any. And a 10-gear transmission, I'd say that's a bit of overkill for a vehicle that isn't a semi; it's just a pick-'em-up trying to behave like a luxury cruiser. I know, I know, that's been the in-thing for decades now, but still...imagine the terror of trying to keep a thing that size under control on slippery roads, especially if an emergency maneuver is called for. IF it has manual control for all those gears, then my argument would be moot, at least to a point; some knowledgeable drivers would be able to maintain control with the lower gears. But nowadays, I have to wonder if that is even factored into the building of transmissions with 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 gears. It is impressive in some regards, but not enough to make it a must-have on my list, especially not for the mortgage one would have to take out just to put one in the driveway. And with the gradual shortage of oil coupled with a shortage of parts, I predict a lot of backorders for the plastic parts that will eventually stress out of commission (after all, where do you think plastic comes from?).
@@toronado455 We just have to see. It's too soon to give it a real durability test, one that tests the longevity of the structure. Maybe we'll see how rust-resistant it is in about 10 years. I must admit, the Americans I've seen after 10 years have far less rust resistance than even my own 55-year-old car.
You were mentioning when you use just light throttle increase how the trucks ten speed auto transmission quickly up shifts through the gears. Automatic transmissions don't go through the (so called gears ) as you stated . Politely speaking , they up shift ,and downshift through what are called ranges. Not gears ,,,,,,,,,,,,Ranges. The only gears in an auto transmission are sun gears ,and planetary assemblies. They do not change position .They just spin. Clutches in the transmission apply,and disengage from lo to high ranges ,and vice versa when up shifts,and downshifts are required. Retired NAVY vet here . Love the show Sarah.Stay safe ........
Finally a review that I can stomach! None of the usual whining and crying about crap that the normal buyer doesn’t give two rats tails about. Thank you ma’am for this wonderful review!
The factory south of San Antonio is awesome, they do a lot for the community. I have two friends that work on the assembly line and in the purchasing department. There is a lot of interesting back stories to how that factory came to Texas.
I just stumbled onto your channel as I saw it coming from TFL (same vehicle review). Love your videos, love your sense of humour and your little dirty jokes here and there. Subbed to your channel.
Sarah, you give a very unique insight to car reviews, in addition to some of your meticulous observations. Does all of AZ "Give her the Beans" or is that a localism out of the Tucson /SE portion of AZ? Love ya, and your reviews.... nothing else out there, like it.
It's a real shame the Tundra isn't available off the shelf here in Australia. It's almost like a hilux big boy crossover. Without going overkill. We have a customer (home business) with a 2020 RAM Duely that barely fits down our country driveway. I literally have to pull out the chainsaw once a month based on his feedback. I'd hate to scratch his paintwork. It's almost the size of the 9 tonne water truck we occasionally get in & that's just insane. lol
Out of ALL of the new Tundra videos going online today, this is by far the most entertaining one and also very informative. Great job, Sarah!
There maybe alot of journalists writing about vehicles, but no one reviews vehicles like you Sarah, awesome review as usual😉👍

Semi truck turbos don’t last a million miles (rarely) I change mine at about 350,000 as preventive maintenance

@@The_Opinion_of_Matt mine isn’t too expensive $800 to $1300 thanks

Finally a review that I can stomach! None of the usual whining and crying about crap that the normal buyer doesn’t give two rats tails about. Thank you ma’am for this wonderful review!
Your videos are NOT boring. Thank u
The factory south of San Antonio is awesome, they do a lot for the community. I have two friends that work on the assembly line and in the purchasing department. There is a lot of interesting back stories to how that factory came to Texas.
I just stumbled onto your channel as I saw it coming from TFL (same vehicle review).
Love your videos, love your sense of humour and your little dirty jokes here and there.
Subbed to your channel.
Oh shit you came to my job! Glad you got to experience our work!
You have the best personality. Love watching your video reviews.
Hey, y’all were testing right up the road from my place near SATX! 😀
As always, great review!!
Sarah, you give a very unique insight to car reviews, in addition to some of your meticulous observations. Does all of AZ "Give her the Beans" or is that a localism out of the Tucson /SE portion of AZ?
Love ya, and your reviews.... nothing else out there, like it.
Thanks, Sarah for the review...very informative.
They don’t have a TRD Pro option available anymore. You can TRD accessories but no pure bred TRD Pro available.
You did the best review of all the journalist's.
It's a real shame the Tundra isn't available off the shelf here in Australia. It's almost like a hilux big boy crossover. Without going overkill.
We have a customer (home business) with a 2020 RAM Duely that barely fits down our country driveway. I literally have to pull out the chainsaw once a month based on his feedback. I'd hate to scratch his paintwork. It's almost the size of the 9 tonne water truck we occasionally get in & that's just insane. lol
Great review Sarah very enjoyable , I look forward to the "give it the beans" vlog. 🙂👍
Thank you Sarah. I was hoping to see you test the hybrid. That engine is approaching turbo diesel numbers especially out of a 3.4L V6.
The toyota name may be closely tied to the idea of 6-cylinder forced induction, but toyota has proved that they know how to make a great v8.
Another great review from sexy you I like the humor you bring in reviewing those new machines it's entertaining just like you this truck is amazing 👍
Toyota knows trucks. Beautiful interior. Being in your world twice a week has become one of my favorite things. I get you and like it all.
In most parts of the world, Toyos have almost 100% market share.
😂😂
So box frame for the Ranger? And where was the weird girl, all I saw was our wonderful Sarah with another excellent review.
