I bought my 19’ Tundra 1794 brand new, I originally wanted a PRO but there was a dealer “markup” and no incentives at the time. The 1794 offered 0% for 5 years. Almost immediately after, I installed the TRD dual exhaust and rear sway bar. Also I had a remote start installed. So far it’s been awesome!. I love it!.. I’m keeping it till the wheels fall off!… currently at about 36K mi. With proper maintenance, I honestly believe this truck could outlive me! 🥰👍
You’re doing it right, very conservative mods, get the electric foldable tow mirrors, anything you want to do to the truck and you can afford it, just go for it, life is too short so get what makes you happy now.
Did you notice an appreciable difference when you added the airbags? I just bought a Grand Design Imagine that is about the same exact weight as the Lance trailer you had previously. The one thing I noticed when I hauled it home was the amount of "bounce" in the rear end. I'd like a bit more stability. I have a '17 SR5 Crewmax 4x4, and absolutely love the way it tows. Just want a little more firmness in the rear end.
Check out "roadmaster" helped springs. I went that route over air bags and couldn't be happier. They have standard and HD options. I went with standard since my trailer is 3500lbs. The best part is that they don't need maintenance, barely change the ride unloaded, and completely get rid of axle hop and reduce the side to side shake trucks normally have over speed bumps etc
As someone who has towed a 21 foot trailer through all the big mountain ranges in BC, I can tell you that the stock 5.7 was never lacking. I'd love a supercharger but the mileage already sucks - having worse mileage and premium gas prices is too much for me
Since you have that many trouble free Toyota miles I wouldn't go Ford. Id stick with that truck or buy another low mileage Tundra of the same generation. Although the new Tundra's are really nice! I bet they've got most of the bugs worked out by now and they will continue Toyotas legendary reliability. You'll get 3 recalls in the lifetime of that tundra. With a ford you'll get 3 a year
I really hope they do. My real hope is Toyota brings a hybridized Diesel 6er into their half tons here in the US at somepoint. A man has to have a dream.
@@kedrevs4037 I like your videos, a lot of the content on the new 2022 comes from fanboys and they just want the latest thing…I don’t think you can go wrong with your generation truck. I feel like you would have bought the new gen if it was in fact an improvement over the outgoing truck, but like you say there are so many shortfalls with it. When making a purchase of this scale it’s good to take bias out of the equation and tell it straight, much appreciated
@@kedrevs4037 you must have extra money going through car washes costs lots of extra money I'm 64 years old I washed mine it's winter time you don't need to wash it in the winter
@@SteveAustin-jp3ev where I live in the south, you can get a monthly subscription to the car wash and go through every day for $15, 20 bucks if you want a premium wash. Well worth the money.
Nice update. This is the type of tundra content I like to see.
Thank you, it’s the kind I like too.

I agree. Really mot a question of afford, mostly a fuctionality issue in my garage bay.
Love the truck and love the mods
Thank you
Good stuff
I would keep the Tundra, still the most reliable truck out there. look at all the recalls on the F150 lately it just goes on...
I agree. Always looking though. Someday, some company will get it.

Yes, the airbags made a huge improvement in the amount of bounce.

Maybe get a reflective cover for the windshield and side windows to protect the interior from heat and sunlight.
That is a great thought.
How many miles does she have now? Sorry if I missed it in the video.
- Edit saw it in the video, beautiful Tundra man
131k
On the subject of a supercharger - do you find yourself wanting more power often given the amount of towing you do? Or towing at high elevation?
Not at all. I just want to serve my inner Ricky Bobby…I want to go fast!
@@kedrevs4037 haha xD

@@Wallstreetavaricesuperchargers improve mileage while you're driving calmly.
do you think the alpine would be able to read car info from a 2012 tundra? Or can it only read that info on newer models?
should read the OBD2 just fine

Right now, if I had to replace it would be the same truck with lower miles.
Way better than the 2022 tundra… the 22 is a gimmick it’s like a car truck … do you think tundra will ever offer a v8 on their pickup platform again?
I really hope they do. My real hope is Toyota brings a hybridized Diesel 6er into their half tons here in the US at somepoint. A man has to have a dream.

No more V8. They are going to stop making them all around with other car companies as well.
your Truck look Nice, in case u want to sell it to get another Truck ... I will love to buy it from You.
Haha, even if I go HD, this one is staying in the family
@@kedrevs4037 😂. I have the 2020 Brand new I bought 2020 .. I love the V8
Lazy people go to the carwash
😂 washed all the vehicles every weekend since age 16, finally my wife convinced me to use the car wash at age 50. Lots more weekend time now.
