Yea not hard to figure it out that siding and fenders is a giveaway plus if you watch tfl the Silverado ZR2 was coming and the Tundra was a letdown with a locker
Being a Toyota Fanboy, I think Toyota could have saved a lot of money by keeping the V8, putting the 10 speed transmission in the Gen 2, changing the rearend ratio to a 3.7 and updating the dash. They would have achieved the same gas mileage as the Gen 3. As of now, I’ll keep my 2003 Tundra 4.7, with 225,000 miles for awhile. Andre thanks for the honest review.
I agree - and honestly that's what I wanted. I wanted an upgraded interior and 8 speed transmission. But Toyota will do what they deem best in their interest.
The V8 wouldn’t of met future CAFE standards and emissions. Toyota is one of the most conservative vehicle manufacturers, they wouldn’t of changed the 5.7l if they didn’t have to.
The thing which surprises me most is the way it's held it's value. The offers you've had for the truck are as much, or even more than you paid. While it's only a matter of months old and has, presumably, been well looked-after, just a few years ago you'd have lost a good chunk of cash as soon as you drove it off the dealer's lot.
Also, the wife used it for awhile. She had problems dealing with getting things out of the bed. I installed a tailgate step. It is installed on the inside or the tailgate. When tailgate is down the step folds out and down, stow handle for stability. At first I thought what a waste. It paid for itself. Plus, it sets inside the bed with the tailgate closed.
The backseat is a deal breaker for me. I keep all my high value tools, lasers, etc. Back there and I need the seats to fold up and provide me with a big, flat, load floor. These big crewcabs are nice for storage, but I've never had any people back there. This gen. Tundra seems too oriented towards the family/lifestyle pickup buyer yet at the same time they skimped on things like 4 Auto that non-traditional truck buyers demand.
This is why it’s great to have so many good choices of trucks on the market. There is really no bad choice. You have to get what suits your needs and comfort level.
I did not like that floor hump or storage bin either, I use my backseat for storage 95% of the time and always slide tools, luggage, a bike in and out. Toyota is a great product but I feel they missed the mark on the interior compared to the Big 3 interiors on comparable models; and the absence of auto 4WD, a multi-tailgate, bumper steps, & tow hooks seems odd in this day and age.
@@youngblood23rb not great in minus 20 temps . the batteries need to warm up on tools before you get to the job site . If they dont warm up they wont charge. So i keep all my battery tools in the cab and corded tools in lock box . even in winter tho the grease and oil will freeze and its hard on the tools if they are not preheated.
I really wish you guys had cat-scaled this truck. Its been shown a bunch of times that the payload stickers on these are only one of a handful of possible numbers. If you look in the owners manual, there are only 10 or so configurations with payload numbers, and your door sticker WILL match one of those numbers regardless of your options or trim. A number of people have weighed their trucks empty and found that they have 200-250 lbs more payload than the sticker says, meaning their trucks are 200-250 lbs lighter than you might think.
I noticed in this video that you are using two different Tundras. One does not have a sun/moon roof and one does. In the towing segment at appx 8:00 minutes it has the sun/moon roof. What is going on here?
When you define "Long Term" as 5 months and 7k miles it's basically a new truck sales channel designed to promote new trucks. Keep a truck for 15 years and see what's left standing
Great video Andre/TFL. Toyota did a lot right but also phoned it in on a lot of features truck buyers expect. Bed access, tow hooks, under-seat storage, better cameras, better trailer hookup interface to name a few things.
The wind noise on my 23 1794 is horrendous. So not quiet. A shame because (as you stated) the road and engine noise is very low. I am on my second set of door and windows seals from Toyota.
Great video. I have the limited TRD as well. I personally wish they would offer that trim with the smaller screen. I also find the window armrest to be quite uncomfortable, in fact painful, when driving for an length of time. The V6 has more power, but I definitely experience turbo lag occasionally. Overall for me, a well made truck, but I think the Gen 2 is a better truck for those who want to use it as a truck. Pair that 5.7 with an 8 or 10 speed and it would have been perfect. Candidly, I wish I had kept the 2019 TRD.
@@Joe.dirt7909 so a redesign . Think it needs more than some small adjustments. The power train might be good but the rest of the truck is not thought out well.
Put that twin turbo V6 in the Tacoma... or the Camry.... NOT the Tundra. My 2012 5.7 Tundra is going nowhere. Toyota said they didn't add locking diffs because they're customers weren't asking for it... OK... and who was asking for a twin turbo v6 with bad gas mileage?
I love Toyotas excuse for the finicky transfer case😂. My '16 f-250 can shift in/out of 4wd quicker than my '20 tundra. I'll agree Tundras typically have beefier parts than a typical half ton. Next excuse please.
3:56 That’s fine that it can run on 87 octane. But in Colorado we have 85 octane and most people will put 85 octane in the fuel tank because it’s the cheapest.
I don't think anyone should compare the Tundra TRD Offroad with the new ZR2. They are in completely different price ranges. 57k VS 73k. That a whopping difference. If you go down to the SR5 TRD Offroad it goes down to about 46k. That's at least what the SR5 TRD Offroad sells for here in Canada. Apples and Oranges.
So many modern vehicles have incredible technology and designs, but they remove the ability to maintain/repair, and be modified for longevity compared to older vehicles. The 2022 Tundra reverse lights look cool, but you'll easily damage them, and have a costly repair bill. You won't find a 2022 model year 30 years from now on a ranch with a headache rack and lights.
My 07 Tundra SR$ 5.7 4x4 has 283k, best 34k i have ever spent!! Its rock solid. I live in the outdoors, it never quits. I do all my own maint. Oil 3k, diffs 30k, tranny 60k and on and on........I live in the salt belt....UP of MI. The nearest car wash in 30 miles. So, I hooked the hot water heater to the outside hose, works great. The only problem with the truck it eats tires........on the 4th set,,,,,,,,,What should I do????????
This is so bogus, this has got to be the shortest "long term" truck you guys have had. I was very interested to see a goo 15k-20K mile review especially about fuel economy.
Am I the only one that would rather have 3 or 4000 bucks knocked off the price and let them keep that big screen in the middle of the dash? I can adjust my own seat and turn the radio on or off with a knob. It ain't that hard.
Great honest review Andre, I can hear your disappointment, as many of us surely share the feeling, Personally, I wish Toyota would've kept the large knobs, and that screen is too ugly. But, it's a Toyota, so hopefully the reliability factor will make you forget the negatives. thanks Andre🍺🍺
Does anyone know if there are stake pockets under the bed rail covers? I have heard conflicting reports. Want to combine a hard bed cover with a headache rack. Had a dealer tell me that they are there. Other people say no. Without removing the plastic cover no way to tell
I’m a Toyota fanboy, I have a 2002 land cruiser and a 2014 Camry, I’ve been interested in a tundra but I really don’t like turbos on the engine, I feel like you’re just asking for issues down the road reliability wise.
Well it will be fun to see how things go with that ZR2 Silverado. That was the other option I was waiting for. They have them but dealers are marking them up and it’s just tough to spend that much for a Chevy.
I own a 2022 tundra SR5 off road. It's ok but nothing special. I will probably trade it in next year. The touch screen, the front grill, the front bumper, the cabin noise, the tires we get in Canada, are all in need of improvement especially the lack of tow hooks.
Lol sounds like they couldn’t get off that Tundra fast enough. Pretty quick long term review considering they still have the TRX (I think). I’m sure the new truck will also include a bunch of Roman’s “but can it beat the TRX”, which is really just an $85k toy and isn’t very practical.
Nice video!! With the new tundra hybrid can it tow comfortably traveling uphill from Denver to Winter Park, Colorado? I have a 34 ft travel trailer UltraLite 6600 lbs dry and 7800 lbs wet and I currently tow with a 2008 5.7 tundra DC. Will the new tundra pull better? I could not find any video that support the new tundra pulling something heavy. thank you!
I’m a Toyota guy but this new tundra , I’m just not liking it , I wish Toyota would have kept the V8 and kept the same size cab instead of making it smaller, I will keep my 5.7L tundra for many years and even after that I probably wouldn’t get this new v6 tundra.
Thanks for the overview, you’ve given me alot to think about as I’m looking to purchase a new truck in the next few months. At first I thought it would be Tundra hands down, now I’m not so sure. Glad for all the info thanks tfl.
I do not understand why these guys always do drag races on trucks. It is childish and dumb. These are made to carry loads and tow and be everyday reliable. One more thing when loaded with cargo or a trailer or both it is necessary for these trucks to STOP efficiently, why is the stopping power which is Essential never tested. If your new truck cant stop I think you will not be driving it for long!
Seems like you got 2022 Nissan Frontier there. Hate to see that Tundra going. Wondering how much mpg difference between my 2019 crewmax sr5 with TRD off road Package and 2022 Crewmax Limited with long bed and I-Force max Hybrid. Is mpg difference is enough for case of new truck!
The Tundra is now where the F-150 was in 2014 (mixed material body, still too heavy) and driveline wise where it was in 2017 (10 speed with the 3.5Ltt). Still falls behind in everything else.
Trundra: should have kept that V8 or use the 5.0 V8 from Lexus, and have that twin turbo as an option and kept the interior dimensions from the gen two on both the crew and extended cap
We have a 2007 Toyota Tundra TRD off-road 4.7 L. We recently did a 5,000-mile cross-country road trip going to Minnesota to pick up a new Jayco travel trailer. The tundra did not tow quite as well as I thought it would home. I'm a Toyota Land Cruiser guy super into the thought of buying an f250 feels like a sin..... I'm considering regearing my Tundra from 410 to 456 to aid and it's towing, I'm also considering a new tundra and f250 for more family trips. Our trailer is only 5200 empty and a GVWR of 6500. What are your thoughts on dropping my 2007 4.7 and going new? That v6 makes me nervous and finding a 2021 5.7 liter V8 with tow haul seems logical.
It's not great from the real world data being reported by reviewers online and from owners to the forums.15 to 17 mpg averages. For instance, Truck King published a video of a 2022 Ram Laramie GT with the Hemi V8 doing a 60 mile trip against a 2022 Tundra Double Cab. Both trucks were 4WD and the Ram bested the Tundra by 1 full mpg.
@@Bigboyz-li7fo I’ve also seen as high as 23 and I figure those numbers were all from brand new engines. Another thing that hurts all of the numbers is TFL being at elevation, so I always take their numbers with a grain of salt.
@@kaikelii you’re probably right. I think they all have their issues at some point. Toyota better resale value for sure. I’m in a GM product right now and love it but my plan is to go Toyota next time around based on my experience with GM customer service on some repairs. I want to love this Tundra but some things could’ve been better designed (my opinion)
Yea Toyota missed the mark on this one it’s a wonderful truck BUT it should have blown away the competition Up here in Canada just to get the Hybrid limited 71K
The Tundra is a huge disappointment to me - I expected a LOT better truck for all of the time spent in development & all the hype prior to the release.
As always a good thorough review calling it all out. Overall Toyota made a good truck, but not a great truck. It will definitely have appeal to many customers.
The double cab is 2 inches shorter than the previous tundra... Nobody could sit back there but a little kid possibly... Which they shortened the bed then by 2 in.
Flated Air Topper. Look into it please. Would be interested to see TFL's take on the product. Would it be good for all season, only summer, only short distances? Slap that on your new rig and double the content/video potential. :)
That ZR2 is the worst kept secret in TFL history 😂
🤫 No one knows yet. Lol
😆
Yea not hard to figure it out that siding and fenders is a giveaway plus if you watch tfl the Silverado ZR2 was coming and the Tundra was a letdown with a locker
Toyota is not for people who trade every five years. They focus on the 10 and 15 year customer.

The Tundra is a huge disappointment to me - I expected a LOT better truck for all of the time spent in development & all the hype prior to the release.
is it the silverado zr2?
57k is pretty cheap by today standards. Crazy!
Damn! How did you guys get a ZR2 already!?
Zr2 in dune color perfect
Coming from 20 Trd Pro Tundra, I can say my 23 1794 TrdOffroad is 10xs better! Smoother, effortless power, better mpg, great new features!
As always a good thorough review calling it all out.
Overall Toyota made a good truck, but not a great truck. It will definitely have appeal to many customers.
The double cab is 2 inches shorter than the previous tundra... Nobody could sit back there but a little kid possibly... Which they shortened the bed then by 2 in.
I was always told by mechanics not to drive a brand new engine on a long trip until it was broken in…
I was so excited for Tundra but have had the same disappointment with the little things like the floor and the that awful rear bumper.
Silverado ZR2
Nice truck, probably the best looking of all the half tons. Ram and GMC are second and third place for looks
Flated Air Topper. Look into it please. Would be interested to see TFL's take on the product. Would it be good for all season, only summer, only short distances? Slap that on your new rig and double the content/video potential. :)
I'll be keeping my 16 tundra lol
Shifter is the dealbreaker for me. Lol.
That's the brand new Silverado ZR2.
Real big disappointment that not once did you guys directly compare it to the previous generation tundra.
You guys only had it for about 3 months
It’s another Toyota Tundra.
