The Tundra was actually introduced as the T100, based on F150. Toyota actually did not plan on putting in a V8 engine on the Tundra until the US dealers demanded the V8 engine or else. The only V8 engine that Toyota had for the US market was the one in the Lexus LS.
You have the T·100 & T·150 mixed up. The Tundra original was the T·150 until Ford sued Toyota over copy right of the name, and was forced to give a name instead of a number to the Truck. ¿ Got Rice ?.
@@Dexter037S4T-100 was the Tundra predecessor. They even shared parts from the early 1st gen 2000-2002 Tundras. I have a 2000 Tundra SR5, and sometimes when I'm searching for used parts, some T-100 parts match my 2000 Tundra. 2000-2002 Tundras and T-100 beds are the same.
The only exception is the 3vze which imo is Junk - some have had reasonable luck with it but even those folks would admit it’s no 22R(E) and the 5vz that replaced it is a FAR FAR better engine in every way
Yeah I remember that meme floating around a few years ago showing Toyota pickup as the #1 choice of terrorists. What great trucks to hold their own "off the shelf" against General Dynamics, Oshkosh, DynaCorps, etc.
This video was amazing to watch, I’m Australian and mess around with 90’s hilux’s, they truely are awesome cars. I learnt something new with the TRD supercharger on the 5vz! Super cool.
I’m jealous you guys have 79 series Land cruisers and the Hilux. I’m in the USA and I have a Tacoma. It’s still a tough, nice truck, but I’d want a 90’s straight front axle, diesel Hilux instead if I could.
The chicken tax was implemented with light duty import vehicles because the big 3 in America was scared and hated competition plus the racism towards Japanese was strong. Why don't you think vehicles were added in the tax along with certain foods ? Vehicles and food are 2 different commodities. Its because the big 3 did not like competition and complained to the government for help. Dont disseminate false or inaccurate information. What you going to tell me racism towards Japanese never existed? Or never has ? You think they liked foreign competition? Americans need to use their brain 🧠 when teaching history and nor manipulate bull crap.
From someone who lived during this era. Let me tell you, that "DATSUN" was the biggest seller, back in the day. I can remember driving over the Bay Bridge into S.F. and seeing the "DATSUNS" all over the deck of the ships, and the "beds" of them, off to the side. Datsun was the KING.......back in the '70's.
Love the yota boy’s energy, especially the part of glossing over the rusted frame lawsuit, them dropping the V8 and v6 making a good amount of their clientele mad.😂😂😂
I love my 2003 Tundra TRD 4.7L 4x4. It's the perfect size for exploring off road, hauling motorcycles, moving dirt & wood, yet still fits in the garage! 😀🏁
@@Thecarboardking The Hilux is still relatively small. Dimensionally it's smaller than a modern tacoma, despite having a turbodiesel in it. Unfortunately, the American Toyota market is completely gimped. A lot of their most compelling vehicles just aren't sold here.
I work at toyota and we have a methanol injected supercharged Tacoma with 750,000 miles on it that comes on about once a month for an oil change. Lemme tell that car is clean as hell and fun to drive
I grew up in a 70's Hilux, lived in Australia where I owned and worked out of 3 different 70-series Cruisers and now, back in the States I drive an 06 TRD Tundra DC and own 3 other Toyota 4wd's (1st Gen 4Runner on 38's a 2nd Gen 4Runner with a JDM 1KZT diesel swap and a 55-series Cruiser project truck). I love my Toyota trucks.
When the trucks hit their stride was when Gurney’s AAR team finally figured out their IMSA package, and then Rod Millen used those turbo motors in his Pikes Peak cars
Great video, I have owned quite a few SR5's 4x4 PU's. A first gen 4 Runner, 2nd and 3rd gens and a handfull of LCs. Recently found a 87 Fj62 so its now sitting in my shop. No rust 68K miles last on the road in 1998.
Albon sponsored by Aeropress is pretty amusing, yet very fitting. I guess Aeropress is looking into sponsoring motorsport teams soon, their brand name is really fitting, "Aero"press. lol
@@albonfilms Nice!, I love coffee too, there's so few coffee brand livery on race cars. And on tangent, I learnt to drive in a 90s Hilux, my most memorable drive was on a roadtrip I drove a fully loaded Hilux with broken transmission.

Way before I got into cars custom mini trucks where my first passion I remember seeing a late 80’s Toyota Pickup bagged, tucking billet wheels, c-notched frame, black with green tribal graphics, and a bumping stereo system 🔥 as a kid I thought it was coolest thing that I had ever seen

Great video. I love my 2019 Tundra TRD Pro for all the performance goodies it comes with and its reliability. Funny how the end of the video it talks about Mitsubishi, and I also own an Evo 9.
I wish we got the 70 series pickups here in the US. Would completely change the truck market. Especially if you could get that sassy 4.5 turbo diesel V8
I wanted a Toyota Tacoma for years, but they’re just too expensive even used. Fortunately we did find a cheaper Toyota truck that my wife could use to haul the kids around: a 2006 Sequoia. It’s basically a Tundra with an SUV body. It’s pretty awesome.
Hey, good video, but kind of 50/50. It's a bit more complicated than that, but you made some good points, with a decent conclusion that came back around and tied into your intro. I get it, it's a short video and Toyota hype is what gets the views. But you know Toyota began by learning from Ford. I know you know, because you've made videos showing Toyota's beginning. Americans and Germans were pioneers, and learned from each other, while the Brits, French, and Italians learned from them, Japan shortly thereafter. You are not wrong, in regard to trucks, that Toyota and Ford are neck and neck now. So many good points, but also so many skewed interpretations. Yes, Toyota learned from their mistakes and started to make solid/reliable engines, as did the other big name Japanese companies, which is why the 90s and early-to-mid 00's is generally referred to as the Golden Years for Japanese auto manufacturers. You also slighted Cal Wells and the American Team that helped put Toyota on the map with those endurance races. Arguably, the 5vz-fe is just as American, as it is Japanese, because of Iron Man Stewart putting the 3vz-fe through its paces. "Geriatric V6?" Did you not learn anything from 'The Tortoise and the Hare"? An engine that lasts well over 250,000mi, especially in a truck, is the baseline. That should be the standard. Yes, the 2UZ had more HP and has been put through the gauntlet but the fuel consumption is not enticing. That fuel consumption is now on par with American and German vehicles now, which is not Japanese philosophy at all. But you know the saying about displacement. Rarely does anyone need that much power unless they are actually in an industry where that torque is required. It's good to see Toyota staying competitive throughout this era of hyper consumerism, but arguably not their core philosophy. Customers loved the idea of the small compact size, utilitarian nature, fuel economy, and affordability of Japanese vehicles; however, vehicles in the U.S. have always been part practicality / part status symbol. Now exacerbated by the Internet and TV. Nowadays most Americans, sell and trade up every 5-10 years to keep up with the Jonse's. Which is bad for the planet but can be a good thing if you are in the market for a newer Toyota, but don't want to pay double than what you paid in 2003. I suppose you can factor in inflation, technology improvements, more aluminum parts, so I get it. If you were one of the thoughtful customers of the late 90's/early 00's who purchased a Toyota truck for ≤ $30k, then you are a bit spoiled, because you have had no need to buy anything new, and probably won't have to for a few more years or so. I like how Toyota and Honda brought their parts into the U.S. and assembled 'em here to make them "made in America Trucks". And then Ford and GM were like "Yea, well, we will have our parts made in China, Canada, and Mexico for our American Trucks" to stay competitive in response. That would be a good jab you can tease 'em with. You know, every vehicle has their pro's and con's. Toyota's lightweight nature makes them hard to control in a pouring rainstorm, whereas the heavier American trucks do quite well in the rain, because of the weight. I definitely wouldn't want to be in a heavier vehicle once it loses traction and lets loose though! I also don't know if big weight and mud is a good thing, which is probably why they showed that Raptor full sending it to get over a small embankment, because if they don't send it, they'll sink fast. The Raptor can also do 100-110mph in the pouring rain, on a paved highway quite well, due to technology improvements. Will be funny to watch those giant/heavy electric battery vehicles sink in the mud as well, although will probably do quite well in rainstorms on a paved highway. Tires also play an important part in all of this. All companies borrow from each other nowadays, so brand names really don't mean anything anymore. Everyone is going V6 or 4cyl turbo for fuel economy. Electric too. Once you build a few vehicles, it's hard to pay anything over $30k for a car/truck, unless it's a rare classic. Vehicles are a bit played out now, traffic sucks, maybe it's time to get into Boats and Airplanes.
I live in rural SW England, which is "Pick up country" here in the UK. If I won the lottery tomorrow, the only brand new car I'd by is an oak green Hi Lux invincible. We dont get yank trucks but I'm not fussed because who can they be better than a Hi Lux?
Only Toyota has vehicles from the 80's, 90's & early 2000's from all model years still on the road being beaten within an inch of it's life & still running. I'm my country at least.
I've owned and enjoyed a Toyota vehicle since 1971. Celica's, Tacoma's, Corolla's and Avalon's. They have been and are still bullet proof and retain their value. Now the more you make and sell will stack the odds of perfection against you . BUT like no other company I can think of. When Toyota hit a problem of quality conundrum They addressed it and fixed it.
A LOT of us miss the Small Hilux Toyota pickups. The Tacoma’s are nice, but they’re a Mid-sized pickup. The Smaller Hilux is just the perfect size for our needs.
When i was a kid i had the lambo poster of the red and black diablo and a 82 black single cab short box yota i am so glad to fet my yota over the lambo
is the Hi-Lux still avaliable in the US market or did they remove it years ago? every time I have been to the US I havent seen a Hi-Lux made in the last 30 years compared to Australia where all you see is Hi-Lux's
yes and no, the Hilux is slightly smaller but can tow a ton more, carry more weight and is avaliable in single cab versions which a very useful to anyone working on a construction site, its why in Aus the single cab version is so popular over the dual cab. Its a Tacoma but better in pretty much every way@@Appletank8
The Hilux (just called the Toyota Pickup here) left in ‘95 and the Tacoma replaced it in ‘96. It coincided with the change of the 2nd to 3rd gen 4Runner.
The 1st gen tundra is the absolute best looking tundra ever. Just like the Hilux from the late 70's to the early 90's are the best looking as well. Especially if you get an early 80's Hilux with a 6in lift walking around on 35's.
We're not angry about Japanese trucks 😂 American or foreign, everyone in USA has their own preference of truck and we like them gangster, and lifted 😤🤠🤙
Do people actually use those for the intended purpose which is loading up stuff off-road and then hauling it on the road and ferry workers around in the bed? For the price of one decent pickup truck you could get two fantastic purpose-made cars and a third one from the fuel savings.
hi albon .. why dont you do some documentaries about other nations and their cars. i love oyur style of documentary .. but why dont you do something about lets say "skoda" and their rally run .. or about some german car manufacturers and their rich history. i dont even know if VW has a motorsport department! do they? i mean ofcourse its up to you .. but i would loooove to see you doing some other nations .. the british .. the australian! and somehow im personally interested in skoda and VW motorsport ... and no .. i drive a ford :D !!! :D !!!

is the Hi-Lux still avaliable in the US market or did they remove it years ago? every time I have been to the US I havent seen a Hi-Lux made in the last 30 years compared to Australia where all you see is Hi-Lux's
Not sold in the US
The Tacoma functionally replaces its spot.
yes and no, the Hilux is slightly smaller but can tow a ton more, carry more weight and is avaliable in single cab versions which a very useful to anyone working on a construction site, its why in Aus the single cab version is so popular over the dual cab. Its a Tacoma but better in pretty much every way@@Appletank8
The Hilux (just called the Toyota Pickup here) left in ‘95 and the Tacoma replaced it in ‘96. It coincided with the change of the 2nd to 3rd gen 4Runner.
Try putting a 72" plow on the front end. Hit a curb and what what happens.. LMFAO 😅
As a kid the first time I saw the Toyota stadium truck racing is when I thought trucks are awesome.
Amazing video ! keep it up !
First Albon video watched. Subbed!
i wish we got all the cars and diesel trucks that toyota has overseas.
Is Hyundai-KIa planning to release more trucks?
Every time you said lb ft it made me think ft lb, it must be what I've seen on my torque wrenches.
But I love Toyotas.
The 1st gen tundra is the absolute best looking tundra ever. Just like the Hilux from the late 70's to the early 90's are the best looking as well. Especially if you get an early 80's Hilux with a 6in lift walking around on 35's.
Love my Aeropress, best tasting coffee. For me it competes with any other snobby, and much more expensive, method of making coffee.
Toyota really is on top rn, the car Im looking to get from them is the GR Corolla
Quality video as always 👍🏻
It's amazing that the worst version of Toyota's compact truck has dominated the market in North America.
Everybody wanted a Delorean but all I wanted was Marty Mcflys Toyota SR5 pickup lol.
It's great to see Alex Albon making RUclips vids during the off season
In racing "continuous improvement" isn't a buzzword, it's what you eat, sleep and breathe.
Another great video!
Rod Millen should get a mention
...You missed the short lived T100.
7:23 the 3.0L was an absolute dog and everybody hates that thing
We're not angry about Japanese trucks 😂 American or foreign, everyone in USA has their own preference of truck and we like them gangster, and lifted 😤🤠🤙
In Japan the business philosophy is called Kaizen.
"...sending power to whatever wheels you select..." I SELECT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR DRIVER SIDE!
Well done sir.
This guys need to do some research on what came of the hilux and Land Cruiser in Australia.
It's got to do with reliably.. 👍
Do people actually use those for the intended purpose which is loading up stuff off-road and then hauling it on the road and ferry workers around in the bed? For the price of one decent pickup truck you could get two fantastic purpose-made cars and a third one from the fuel savings.
Thank you for pronouncing the Hilux properly instead of how 99% on Americans pronounce it as Helix
What about the T100 that came before the tundra in the USA
