2022 Toyota Tundra review! The 2022 Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck -- and it's fully redesigned for the 2022 model year. Today I'm reviewing the newly redesigned Toyota Tundra, and I'll show you all the quirks and features of the new Tundra. I'm also going to drive the new Toyota Tundra and I'll review the driving experience.

20:00. There's no storage underneath the seats in the hybrid models because that's where the batteries are kept. However, non-hybrid models have the storage space available
This is helpful! Doug is very inconsistent in his videos.
Again another missed description of a quirk.
Is the battery safer under the seat or like Ford under the frame.
@@mikefoehr235 Either is fine. Toyota puts it there so they can cool and heat the battery by using air from the cabin.
@@mikefoehr235 being inside the vehicle helps keeping the battery at a room temperature when in use
I have a 21 Sienna and the battery is under the front seats
I’m a Toyota guy for life but No recovery hooks was a huge mistake by Toyota. Whoever ok’d that decision should not be working on off road trucks honestly. Recovery points are so big and important.
Mark my words. There WILL be recovery hooks on it very soon. Unbelievable.
I believe it's available as a dealer add on option. I wonder if the dealers make a stink about not making enough money on their sales. Toyota's excuse that they left the hooks off for fuel efficiently feels fake.
Must have been a big whoops. Youre right. No hooks?! Wild.
No auto AWD is a downfall. It has the old 4 wheel drive system. It hops and skip in 4 wheel when wheels are turned. Bummer.
Are rounded hooks also bad for aerodynamics as well. I'm not an engineer though
As an aerospace engineer, I call bs on the recovery hooks being removed for aerodynamics. The front of a truck is a massive high pressure zone, those hooks would have an incredibly tiny impact if any at all, it doesn’t increase the cross sectional area of the truck at all. I don’t believe their reasoning.
they are full of shit just to cut cost.
Kinda obvious
They still could have included the hooks but just put them behind pieces of removable trim. My car has a piece of removable trim on the bumper that allows you to screw in a recovery point.
it's high school physics... I would hope
You dont have to be an aerospace engineer to know this. 😁👍
The Tundra does have a storage area under the rear seat.
The hybrid version uses that space for the battery so on those trucks, you loose that storage area. They also move the 12 volt battery to that location also for the hybrid trucks.
And the screen is actually one of the biggest, if not the biggest. This guys sounds like a hater right from the beginning. Never watching his videos again.
The biggest feature in this truck is that it can change your shirt automatically 18:59

@@Passportbros8 it's the same front-end styling as the rest of their 21 and 22 models. Go look at a Sienna, or a new Highlander. They all have big grills with angular front ends. Even the Camry and Corolla got the big grill treatment, even if only a tiny little square is functional.
The feature actually allows you to split into 2 for a short time. Doug #1 was holding the camera
That doesn't make any sense..
@@Passportbros8 then there is the cybertruck
My 2000 Toyota 4Runner has the back window rolling down feature. It’s cool to see Toyota is still using it as it is such a unique Toyota thing
Love the roll down back window in my 03 Sequoia
Yeah it's lame everyone else stopped including the rolling down back windows.
love it in my 2002 T4R, 326,000 miles and daily driving.

Doug: "Quality is excellent. Toyota reliability is beyond question fantastic."
Also Doug: "It gets an 8 out of 10."
The old one deserves this for sure but the new one only time will tell
You have to look at what gets a 10, a 5, and a 1. 1 is like a dodge neon, 5 is a standard issue car like a basic Honda, and a 10 is a Rolls Royce. Rolls Royces are pretty unquestionably the highest quality materials. Toyota isn't going to put hand stitched Italian leather made from cows that get daily massages. But it's still high quality and things aren't going to fall apart. The fact that a Toyota, a volume manufacturer gets an 8 is pretty amazing.
The Doug Score isn't perfect but when you understand what he means by quality or fun it makes a little more sense.
@@hazmatt2k6 Yeah, but we're talking about reliability here. A Toyota will outlast a Rolls Royce or any other British car for that matter, many times over.
@@CumBrianFries my bicycle will get an 11
I thought I was the only one who caught that!
No tow hooks for aerodynamics is bogus.
They could've made caps.
That was straight bull🤣
That front needs something the break up that lower section. WOOF
@@starnesandcars "but the aerodynamics" meanwhile it's shaped like a brick lol.

I love how Doug adjust his voice based on the type of vehicle he’s reviewing
underrated comment
I don't remember if this has been mentioned in other vids before, but his voice reminds me of Sheldon from the tv show The Big Bang Theory 🤔
And jerks and twitches around like a damn cartoon character.
I love love love that rear window power up and down that toyota has on their trucks and 4Runners. I wish every suv and pickup manufacture did this as well. Great Video Douggy
I love that feature on my 18 years old 4Runner. Especially if you have dogs, they look amazing in photos looking out while in the woods
My 18 year old titan has it.

I really wish they would include the full roll down window on the Tacoma. Only the small middle section on my 2018 TRD OR opens.
I love the return of the "TOYOTA" front grill. It's a cool throwback to the old school Land Cruiser days.
Agreed, even while I'm not into Toyota, aside from the FJ's from the 60's and 70's. With that said, it's a bit much having the Tundra there as well. All in all I think the only thing that bothers me about the styling is the paint scheme on the A-pillar; I understand what they're trying to do with the look of the black wrapping all the way around but it honestly looks like a Maaco paint job.
The year is 2035, a new terror group rises somewhere in the Middle East/Africa....TOYOTA! Gotta hand it to those terrorists, they subliminally market Toyota products really well. Build Ford tough? Fuck that, ain't never seen a F150 help overthrow a government

@@TheNacropolice Yes and Toyota has that extreme reliabilty reputation in Australia
"We cant design a TT v6 for the supra too expensive!!!!!!" Makes one 2 years later for the tundra
Supra needed an I6
I guess they wanted the supra's engine to remain an inline six, and not a V6. That would have angered supra fans more than the Toyota-BMW partnership or the lack of a manual transmission did.

@@Jako1987 one of the dumbest, purely corporate decisions ever & I call BS on the whole creator protection aspect
Couple things wrong:
There IS an optional step for the tailgate that sits under the rear bumper and pops out. Believe it costs around $400 to add the "bed step" to your build.
Only the hybrid models lack the storage under the rear seats, because that's where the batteries are kept. Non-hybrid versions DO have under-the-seat storage.
Customers: " how many TRD labels do you need?"
Toyota : "Yes."
Sorry, was this a TRD Pro? I wasn’t sure!
These are what they hand out💩💩💩😝
The Tundra finally has a rear locking differential, and coilovers now come standard instead of leaf springs for rear suspension. This improves ride quality and off-road performance, while actually improving the towing rating from the last model. It looks like Toyota did this by strengthening the frame. The interior is a huge improvement from the outgoing model, and it has a massive sunroof. Climate controls are still buttons, and it even has heated and cooled front seats. Wireless charging too. The hybrid battery is the reason the rear seat storage is gone. The digital camo black trim is supposedly a new inexpensive, easy to replace material used in damage prone areas, like fender flares and rear bumper panels by the tow hitch. Doug did not really emphasize any of this. We have asked for more power and better fuel economy for years, and it's finally here. He did not even highlight the new 10 speed transmission? Massive improvement over the outgoing 6 speed. All of this with Toyota reliability. The tundra has never been more competitive, but this review seemed negative. The only downsides I saw were the missing front recovery hook (aftermarket fix), lack of rear storage, and no generator function like the F150 powerboost. Is there room for improvement? Definitely. That being said, I think Doug really misunderstood the value proposition of the TRD Pro model. This review was not nearly as detailed as his other recent reviews, which is a shame because there was so much content left un-discussed.
His research isnt the greatest ive noticed that in alot of videos, the v8s were also the maxforce, its not like they are overselling the v6 thats just what they have always called the motor in this truck, and i get what you are saying, if he knew what he was talking about he would understand that Toyota feels like the bumber step and tailgate steps are gimmicks to compensate. The tundra has always been like this and still sold well and the biggest point is they run forever and will still hold their value, which is what has always been this trucks selling point not bumper steps…
Great write up!
So basically your excited that this Brand new model offers nothing even remotely innovative as damn near all of what you mentioned you can find on a 2 yr old used Ford or Ram...
You wanted Doug to love Toyota for catching up to the other brands? All the features you’ve mentioned have already been out for years with other trucks. They’ve been so far behind for years it’s not really impressive that they finally have better power and fuel economy like the rest.
@@xspower21 im just talking about the lack of research, the lower trim actually does come with storage under the back seat, and the bumper step.
Doug is the kinda guy to have 2 Dougs in the same video
doug #1 got too sweaty and needed a fresh shirt
19:19 Doug's face as he's rolling the window up and down..🤣🤣
I can’t believe Doug didn’t mention anything about the composite bed new to Tundra. Doug is the kind of guy who carries one knee pad around with him for vehicle reviews. That’s quirky..
Classic LOL
There’s actually 2 knee pads cuz you know comfort like 2 shirts he always wear.
The bed is so small he missed it
Because the bed isn't composite? The bed is Aluminum.
@@Steve-yr5vi Google.......The 2022 Toyota Tundra's bed isn't made from pure steel or aluminum. Instead, the new truck makes use of Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) sheets. It gets extra strength from aluminum cross members within the bed as well.Sep 26, 2021
Doug's the kind of guy to describe the quirks and features while wearing a quirks and features shirt.
Didn't even notice that
I'm sure that's not a coincidence
Yes, a shirt on top of his protective Mormon underwear and the test drive includes a drive on the 5 South where the Mormon Temple can clearly be seen in the background. Somehow it once again made it in the editing! Transparency, Douglas?!
But did you notice his shirt change around 19:03?
I see what you did there
This truck looks like something a high schooler being introduced to CAD would produce.
It’s like the first gen Tundra. A Japanese guy who’s never been to America said “I’ll design a truck that looks like the trucks in America!”
Clicks grille, scrolls mouse wheel to enlarge and it expands way faster than expected.
@@adamboyle3331 Even the first gen tundra looks better than the new toyota
The design looks like they copied most styling from the new Sierra. I can’t stand the ever growing bigger is better mantra with pickups. That grille is hideous. I love Toyotas, just not any built in the last 15 years. Their priorities have changed. They sold out. Same as Honda.
Reminds me of a cartoon truck on the cover of a kids book about trucks.
I just test drove this truck at the Philly auto show, and yes I was most impressed by the sound. No matter what exhaust system you throw on an ecoboost f150/raptor, it still doesn't sound like a v8 to me...this does! I did get a bit of information overload from the excessive cameras, but since I doubt I'll ever be able to afford this truck, I just tried to enjoy the experience
The regular Tundra has a step in the rear bumper. Also the rear seat does have storage with the regular iforce engine.
Yeah it makes sense for this one. Hybrid batteries need a place to be
@@DeathProductions200 Yup, doug really doesn't mention the common stuff all he cares about is the "quirky" stuff. Which is why he is more of an "entertainment" show and not a true review of a car. I would NEVER buy a car he recommends, lol!!
@@ctk4949 to be fair, I love quirks in vehicles. Like, the tundra with the hybrid engine. I love the fact that are pushing a different tech for full sized trucks. But I think losing the practicality of the pickup isn't necessarily a good thing.
I need a practical vehicle which is unfortunately why I don't necessarily like the vehicles Doug recommends a lot of the time. I enjoy the content cause he does do reviews of some interesting things we wouldn't really notice, and still mentions some practicality like the tdr pro not having steps in the rear bumper
Another downfall is no auto AWD. It has the old fashioned 4 wheel drive with hopping and skipping when wheels turned as driving. I’m gonna pass on it and wait for the 22 Raptor.
ruclips.net/video/55SKWU0CAAA/видео.html
I'm gonna miss the roar of the iforce, it was one of the best sounding stock v8s in a truck
The Nissan vk56 also had a nice roar to it too. Shame the truck its in is subpar.
That's the roar of the fuel leaving the tank haha. In all seriousness, it's a great engine and it's a shame it's gone for the Tundra
Regarding the front tow hooks, I can't see why they wouldn't be able to put plastic covers over them and have them embedded in the bumper body work. That really doesn't check out, sounds more like Toyota pinched pennies and are trying to come up with the excuse after
Tow hooks don'e make su much aerodynamic disturbance - see the competition, some mostly hidden in the bumper but still present.
The truth is, most "off road" people these days are more interested in light bars (included here) than actual the added function of front tow hooks. I'm not necessarily knocking it, but it's the truth.
No storage underneath for they hybrids ONLY. The gas versions have storage underneath. Actually bugger than some, because the seats themselves are longer than competitors.
7:45 imagine getting in a car accident and having "OYO" stamped to your forehead
Pretty sure that thing pops off to reveal the air bag
That’s funny as hell lol
Good review. But if you compare it to a Raptor in one area you should be consistent. This has a huge amount more towing/payload capacity over a Raptor.
Meh 2k pounds. If you want to tow, get an f150.
@@BAYAREAMX this relates to trim and weighing benefit vs shortcoming. The last time I checked a Raptor was an F150 and 2000lbs is 25% so nothing to sneeze at.
@@handyman2183 You guys do realize that the Raptor's offroad capabilities are what cause the lower towing and payload?
This Toyota is closer to a regular truck than a Raptor.
Softer suspension = better offroad capabilities but at the sacrifice of towing and payload.
Clearly, Ford can build a better towing truck considering they already build a truck with better towing.
Max 2021 Tundra towing capacity: 10,200 lbs
Max 2021 F-150 towing capacity: 14,000 lbs.
@@handyman2183 jeez I figured you were gonna do that. Let me rephrase that, if you want max towing capability, get a non raptor trim level F150. They out tow the tundra by over 2k pounds so yeah.
@@fordgtguy of course. It is also what causes the TRD Pro to have less capacity than an SR. It is closer to a Raptor off-roading than an SR is and closer to an SR capacity wise than a Raptor.
Doug, they actually have an optional electric power step to get in the rear.
Pay extra for a standard feature? Figures.
Should be standard.
Should be standard.
@@lawnmowerdude Should be standard.
Again another missed quirk Douglas
You didn't mention that for the led bar to turn on you have to be in high beams, it will turn off if you go to low beams.
Also the most annoying thing remote start engine. Once you go out to get in the truck the engine will turn off if you unlock the doors and if doors already unlocked, engine will turn off when you shift to drive
I'm not even a truck guy, but you're right about the hooks. Every other truck is doing those now.
Because of "aerodynamics"
My 1992 Silverado even had tow hooks lmao
I want someone to look at me like Doug looks at the back Window of a Tundra rolling down
im so glad our understanding of aerodynamics is reaching a point where we no longer have to compromise car design
Except they omitted front hooks for “aerodynamics” 😂
It's totally worth saving extra fuel, I'm never going to get stuck, and definitely want this truck.
Please explain this to Lucid.
@@paldri thats just marketing speak. The tow hooks probably got lost on the kanban board just like the ability to control the 360 camera
"so let's get started... before i get started"
🤣 0:25
14:32 I'm sure that's not carbon fiber, Doug. It's regular plastic.
I wanna see Doug set up an offroad challenge between this and the Rivian -- with him driving both and declaring a winner.
Yeah through some backwater!
The tires and wheels look tiny in those squared off wheel wells.
I agree.
@@murayana2848 get that shit off of Doug's video
They're functional, you can get new wheels and tires if you want it to look better
they are tiny... 32 inch tires vs 34 or 37 in the raptor
The missing features seem like another example of an auto maker planning for the mid-cycle refresh. Maybe planning for it is better than slapping in some not thought through options down the road?
That face he makes every time he's explaining every single detail of a vehicle never gets old. 😁 🤣 😂
I think this is more of a Ford Tremor and RAM Rebel competitor rather than a Raptor or TRX, especially the TRX. There aren't enough body changes or suspension changes. Plus this would he much cheaper than those 2, and you do have an automatic step that comes out but I don't think it is offered on the TRD Pro, I saw it on a 1794 and Platinum review
Exactly
Current pricing Trends on TRD Pro Models continue, this is likely looking to be around $65,000 or maybe even more. 4Runner TRD Pro sells for around $55,000. This is definitely not going to be price competitive with Ford, RAM, or General Motors with the ZR2 package on the Colorado.
Agreed. Not a Raptor or TRX fighter. It almost seems like he's trying to fan out over Toyota. If this was say a Silverado then he'd likely never call it a Raptor fighter. Don't get me wrong it's a nice truck, that I'm sure is very competent off road, but a Raptor is about the closest thing you can get to a street legal Baja truck, and I just don't see the new TRD PRO as being that extreme.
I'll go along with Doug claiming this is tough Raptor fighter when he claims that a Camaro SS 1LE is a tough 911 GT3 fighter. Bet you he won't do it.
For a second, I thought the exterior pieces with that digi-camo design were actually made of black packing Styrofoam.
look a bit like forged carbon fiber to me, from the distance. I like it tho
@@alpher3512 yeah, I thought this was an off-road vehicle with carbon fiber fender flares for a sec...

"TOYOTA, let's go places." pops in my mind every time i see a Tundra/Tacoma.
Ford GM and Ram are literally truck companies. The majority of their profits are from their trucks! Toyota is the leading car manufacturer globally and has the most diverse selection of cars, trucks and suv's compared to any brand. I'm really impressed by the new Tundra, I think they offer a lot of options like tailgate step up and backseat storage under the seats that you said they didn't. Though the 360 camera makes no sense hahaha. I come from a family of successful electrical and mechanical engineers and the reason most of us drive Toyota's and Honda's are because of how reliable they are. My only gripe with the old tundra was the bad fuel economy and lack of basic entertainment features and so I think they absolutely hit it out of the park with this new design. Again Toyota doesn't make the percentage of profit from trucks like all the American brands do, so I think this is exactly what most reliability-minded, Toyota enthusiasts were looking for. I'm definitely getting one!
The Tacoma is the most popular midsized truck by far. They make a decent portion of their profit from their trucks.
You don’t come from any family of electrical/mechanical engineers if you’re saying 360 camera makes no sense. Calm down potato:
@@ironmb86 love the 360 camera, but it's odd that you can't control it at all bub
Toyota has its weak spots in the reliability department just like anyone else
The Tundra does have the same standard storage as your standard truck under the rear seats unless you get the iforce max as that is where the battery is
And makes it more difficult to transport dogs. Same reason I'm not considering a Rivian R1T as well.
BMW: Our new grille is big.
Toyota: Hold my beer!
lexus would like to have a word with you bout grills
THE MOST HORRIBLE LOOKING CAR OF 2021
🤣🤣💪
Even the Ford Maverick XLT has tow hooks. But, this is a top-of-the-line 80k flagship off-roader? If its mpg theyre concerned about, they should have added tow-hooks with plastic fairing covers that could be popped off.
I paid 69k. Then easily ordered hooks. Still have room to build it instead of can't aFord shop repair Craptor
The other models have a step that comes down when you pop the tailgate. It's an option.
Also, watched a video where the engineer was interviewed. He basically said there goal was to get the low end grunt of a diesel without having to actually do a diesel. Sounds like they achieved it.
No kidding. More torque than my 12 valve, with 440 hp and 20mpg.
...Wow! :3
Yes. They studied the Ford EcoBoost for 12 years and copied it.
@@51AB You know... I'm not actually surprised at all.

@@jamesgizasson Haha. Actually I believe they tore apart BMW turbo engines to study them. Cheers!
@@51AB Well in THAT case, I'd say a boost in reliability is guaranteed! X3

I think the "camo" is supposed to look like chopped carbon fiber,it gives it a "performance" look.
The look on Doug's face while opening/closing that rear window....priceless!!
I was legit laughing out loud. 💀
Lmfao
The change sorter/storage is the greatest thing I've ever seen! I always have change clinking around in my center console.
I might have to cash in on the bonkers and completely accidental appreciation of my ‘21 Tundra and pull the trigger on one of these… I must admit I’ll always be sad about the departure of the V8 - because simplicity and good noises - but this powertrain and the truck itself seems to make up for that pretty well. Also I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this being on the global Land Cruiser Series 300 platform. That’s insanely cool!
Good luck
its a toyota
you know its gonna last
I have a 21 lunar rock pro tundra and I've been contemplating it considering I bought it before the inflation at $51k out the door. I'll have to see it in person before I can make that choice.
But, am i losing my mind, that thing is soooooo ugly! I guess it's just me!
There's real no appreciation. You're trading dollar for dollar. Undoubtedly, the 2022's will be marked up big time. Good luck though and I hope you get deal you want. I'd wait at last one model year before I'll buy.
Still wondering how you gave the same handling to score to the 2022 Honda Civic as the 2013 Ford Raptor 🤔🤔🤔
Im sure its subjective and its handling is rated for what the vehicle is, not compared to all vehicles he has tested.
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix nah Doug uses the same scale for every vehicle
Aside from acceleration, everything else on his score is subjective and mostly bs
@@rdmz135 yes, a review score is subjective, what a fantastic revelation lmao
Am I the only one who thinks the new TRD Tundra front end is ugly?
I feel like the bumper should have curved in. It gives me De Niro vibes
It’s terrible looking. Im struggling to find one positive comment to make about this truck. I think I really hate everything about it
Seems like they could have installed recovery hooks with doors in front of them that stay closed until you need to use the hooks. Or make the whole panel flip up to reveal the hooks.
Damn I just bought a Tacoma and now I'm in love with this truck, maybe if prices keep going on used Tacomas I can sell it for more than I bought it a for and buy a Tundra.
It's probably worth more already
You will be able to. My 2018 Tacoma is worth more than what I bought it for. And I bought when it was a year old
Which is ridiculous. The truck isn't that good to be the same price
@@Charliefox71 Market is insane right now! If the dealership offers to pay off my financing on my Tacoma I might upgrade if the markup on the new Tundras aren't insane.
My 2021 TRD OR tacoma is worth about 5-7k more now than when I bought it in February.
Love that when I get into an accident Toyota would brand me like a prized bull.
BMW chassis engine not some much
I love how Toyota wants there truck to become a land mark when it gets stuck.
I had a 2007 tundra then bought a 2012 tundra, currently still driving that truck and I love how reliable they are and looking forward to get the new TRD Pro, overall they are great trucks
Passed by one today and they're huge. People say they look weak shyyt not in person not really they don't. So far toyota did pretty good with the redesign.
Doug got so excited saying “Iforce Max!!!!” that he had to get a change of clothes😂…
19:00 ... Doug channels his inner Beyonce and drops a wardrobe change on us. Only to change back shortly after.
I love this new Tundra! I like the “camo” look on the seats, but it is a little much on the exterior trim lol. I am also excited about this powertrain!
@@yungboicontigo9278 I am so with you.....the interior looks like it came right out of a clearance rack at autozone....they do this with all their TRDs...hate the red stitching, horrible logos and how unbelievably tacky it all is.
the camo is like a reminder of all the victim that died in all those wars american crates like petrol control.
Toyota's are the best! I have a Prius and a Corolla and both have over 200K miles and run like new! I use Automotive Wolf car care software on my vehicles to monitor the maintenance schedules and have it set up to send me text message reminders when any service is due, so I'm always up-to-date on all the maintenance. Makes a BIG difference. :)

In the Toyota development office
Toyota: "What do MURICANS like?"
Employees: "Camo. Lots of camo"
10:38 I know plenty of cars have tow hooks hidden beneath some plastic cover, even normal cars not meant for off-roading. If Toyota wanted to retain the "aerodynamic" shape, they could have done just that.
The older tundras have tow hooks tucked up under the bumper on the frame, I wonder if this one has them in that place as well.
@@sswain833 Doug mentioned that Toyota said, no tow hooks. So, they probably aren't tucked away.
@@jasonmcelroy1938 wow that’s pretty inconvenient
My old Hyundai Accent had a tow hook hidden behind a cover on the bumper. Shame that this off roading truck has none.
@@sswain833 no because hey have a damper that comes down. The toyota guy said it
Oh look they finally redesigned it....Bit too late i kinda stopped caring. Just expected all Tundra to look the same for the next 20 yrs. Good video as always tho.
Doug: "A TWIN TURBO V6!!" Ford: "Check out my 2011 F-150."
My only complaint is the front grill is way to large. I understand Ford and Chevy also have large grills, but somehow makes it work better
I think it wouldn’t look as dramatic if the bumper didn’t give it such an underbite
@@RidgeRunner4501 looks more like a cleft lip..
This engine is great not just for fuel economy. Higher altitude climbs especially while of towing the V8 would lose power. The V6 twin Turbo being forced induction keeps its power as you climb up steep grades and run high altitude climate. I don't think Toyota needs to out Ford,Chevy, and RAM for what it does. It never will. But the fact it is a very good truck and a Toyota which is reliability, they will give those Toyota fans something to cheer about. I would probably stay Tacoma if it was me though. I think finally this is the truck made to push around Ford and Chevy and RAM to some extent. Choice is a beautiful thing.
yeah, and they arent coming close to competing with the raptor with this, maybe the f150 and 1500 trucks but not the good ones.
Lol, yeah, mate, you know better than Toyota engine Engineers. Raptors are V6s too. Most things that were v8 are v6 tubos now. Look at the luxury sector. And all those cars have better horse power and better fuel effiecently than their NA v8s. There is a reason why v6 turbos are the engine of choice, engineers figured out they don't need a v8 block weight to make v8 power.
@@EricHamm I have a v8 truck and an eco boost. I hate the eco boost for a work vehicle. The turbo lag on that thing sucks. It’s a 2019. And for a 10 speed transmission it isn’t as seamless as it should be. It clunks every once in a while. I’d much rather have a NA engine. It just feels right and safer without that damn turbo lag
This junk will never compete with Cummins or duramax, no MEN I know drive a Toyota - get over it
@@elitescaper5095 Preach it!
The reliability of their V8 NA engines are what always steered me towards a Tundra over any other full sized truck. I am a bit hesitant with these new Turbo and Hybrid engines...
agreed
"pretty much everybody that buys this truck would lose 1/4 mpg and get those hooks"
As someone that is currently living in Texas where all trucks sell like crazy, I beg to differ. 98% of these will never see off roading beyond a trail a Forester could handle easily, much less be in a situation where recovery hooks will matter. In fact, i'd go as far to say that 90% of the TRD Pros will essentially be pavement princesses with the occasional maintained dirt/gravel road. those that are planning to go on robust trails that would have situations where hooks and/or a winch would be helpful are going to get off-road focused bumpers installed anyway for better approach and departure angles.
how do I know? that's how people use their Raptors, Wranglers, 4Runners, Grand Cherokee Trailhawks, etc here. 90% of them are on pavement for essentially their entire lives, lumbering around because the driver wants other people to think that they're active and outdoorsy. the vast majority of people that buy pickups here don't even tow...ever. In fact, I have a friend that bought a Wrangler Sahara recently, which was a shock. He hates the outdoors, doing anything outside besides a light, shaded hike, and does not have boulders to traverse on his way to work. people just want to be a part of the image because they think it gives them cache.
Can confirm. I used to deliver pizza. A couple ordered during one of the worst storms that year. Trees were blown over and rivers were overflowing. My friend took their order, and they asked him, "What do you DO when it rains like this!?"
He brought their order in a Prius, flooded roads and all. I delivered to them a week later... they owned a brand new lifted Wrangler. X3
Exactly. People buy these trucks and offroad vehicles for appearance here in Texas it's sad. I have friends with kitted out 4Runners and whatnot. They never leave the pavement save their daddy's ranch roads. My friends I actually offroad with use older SUVs/trucks we don't care about beating the shit out of
Yea that's stupid...u have q construction company and i have 6 trucks....i got friend who has a raptor and he doesn't want to put dirt on it. He doesn't want to go into construction sites because it gets dirty...what a idiot i always said....a raptor? And not enjoy it as it was built for that
so you're suggesting 90% of people to buy honda civic? i love trucks, i have 3 trucks, when i travel to my birth country, i have my little toyota tacoma v4 2013 and i used for offroad, but when im here in US i use my old 2003 gmc sierra 4.8 to do any back yard dumping or buying anything that wont fit in my cars so i use my old truck, so than i have my 3rd truck gmc denali that i dont use for nothing else than showing off and i dont care if i need it or not, i just like it that way... if people wants to buy a Subaru hellcat shelby they should buy it? they dont need race cars right?
@@NR-mx6lc I never said anything about a Honda Civic. Don't be so triggered and try to understand what I was saying in the comment. Plenty of other people did.
I kind of feel that toyota/lexus as of late have been super safe with their outgoing cars. Maybe they're making sure the features they add will last years with no reliability issues before equipping their vehicles with it?
That's the Toyota philosophy. And why us Toyota owners love them!
which is why I will always prefer Toyota/Lexus over any other brand which I intend to daily drive.
@David Soward The Apple of vehicles is Tesla
@@derekotero7935 LOL no. Tesla isn't THAT great like people make it seem to be.
@David Soward I would say Toyota is more the Nokia of the car world, simple, durable, reliable, easy to use, and won't die
I don't like companies just throwing out Durable V8s for TTV6s that just aren't going to hold up like a good old fashioned V8.
Toyota’s V6 is bulletproof
AA BB not in a Pick up Truck that's going be towing stuff. it's already showing that these TTV6s aren't as durable. V8s make more Torque, and can handle that Torque load for longer. And everyone is talking about fuel economy, that falls apart the moment you have to tow or move anything at all. As it's gonna be sitting at high RPM trying to keep the Torque, which also makes the engine less reliable
It's not the companies fault, it's the government pushing for higher fuel economy
9Epicman wouldn't have to worry about Fuel Economy if they would start providing E85 more places. Stuff burns cleaner than normal gasoline, and it's far cheaper to produce.
👍
Toyota: "Camo would look so cool, let's do it."
Also Toyota: "Let's make it otherwise generally aesthetically unpleasant."
I think they were going for forged carbon not camo
I can't wait for Doug to review a Cybertruck
2 years before press cars are delivered, minimum.

My liver would shut down before the video ends
@@Robert-kd1km lmfao
15:15 The truck shaped outlines in the center console look like the pull tabs to remove the liners for cleaning. Pretty cool detail.
They are but once again, Doug describes something with little to no research.
This is why you should always choose a black window trim instead of ‘chrome’ . Makes every color pop! And this is a beautiful color! Wow
18:55-19:00 Doug changing shirts is an Easter egg in itself!
I was like what the..? Was that worth adding?
Ayyy! It's DOUGCEMBER!!
What review are you most excited for? I've been waiting for that RamCharger review since he teased it way back in March!!
The Nevera is probably my #1
a quick comment about the engine sound that Doug is highly impressed with: It's a fake engine noise. According to Toyota, Limited trims and above feature an "augmented" engine noise pumped through the speakers.
Whattttt, wow. What a disappointment...
The most ridiculous "feature" of some new trucks. Drove a Ford Ranger with this nonsense and it sounded like the back door was open or the window was down.
@@ultraneight Same thing with the Maverick.. you can hear it in the review videos, sounds so fake and annoying.
I wish car manufacturers would stop that stupid trend, in a sports car, maybe but in a truck or car gtfo
I think 95% of new cars today have fake engine noise lol
I was dead set on one of these until I drove the powerboost f150, there is no comparison in the research and development Ford was able to pump out on these new trucks. I now own a XLT FX4 Powerboost.
Bumper: camouflage
Wheel arches: camouflage
Seats: camouflage
Assorted trim: camouflage

To be fair, deer can’t see orange
@@TheMordeca7 Lol yeah. Lmao.
sort of "offroady" truck, but with huge sporty low grille and bumper, that will catch on the ground
That bumper screams ON-ROAD
They increased arrival and departure angles and clearance from the previous gen so its at least better than older models. Most serious offroaders ditch the bumpers anyhow
@@jonstundralife5897, TLC 300 GR sport has more aggressive bumpers.
@@vladvulcan No doubt, but its a Land Cruiser. Thats kind of like comparing the front end of the Cherokee to a Wrangler. Compared to other trucks I bet its as good, if not better than the rest.
@@jonstundralife5897, Doug compares it to the Raptor. But Raptor is an offroad sports truck with clearance and bumpers and all, while this... is more of a asphalt sports truck, despite of having Fox shocks and stuff.
To a Japanese person, seeing a Toyota like this would be like an American seeing a Cadillac Kei Car
I love the little trucks and SUVs on the center console storage 😂 I would like to know precisely which models they are 😅
Sorry Doug - You missed the boat on this. The number one reason, which you briefly mentioned at the end - in passing, is that Toyota is a known for million mile trucks. The service and reliability is the number one reason people choose it. Everything else is just gravy. If you're going to be spending 60-85K on a truck there's a segment of the population that want it to just work. And they want it to work for 10 years. Or 20. If your scores were weighted for reliability, there wouldn't be another truck that would come close to the Tundra.
Is this power train going to be as reliable as the V8 though? I think they should have kept one model with the same power train as before. That’s the one the reliability folks would have chosen
@@barhoumibnnawal 100% agree. I have an 07 tundra now with 443k miles on it and was thinking about upgrading but now have decided against it because I want a v8
They have only had like a handful of trucks with 1 million miles. They are a pain in the ass to work on
@@nolife1199 then it’s a good thing they never need to get worked on
@@barhoumibnnawal They definitely need to be worked on. These trucks are extremely overrated
Camo = american ?
Here's the trick to getting in the back of the pickup. You don't need side steps or anything else in fact it's kind of funny that you mention have side steps on the side when you right there next to the key, the tire. The tire works very well as a step. You've got one on each side, and ot big enough that you can keep both your feet on it at the same time while doing something in the bed.
Yeah I used to do that until I have a truck with side steps and a fold out step from the trunk lid. It's hard to go back once you have that luxury
Well on the platinum you do get a step that comes down from the corner, the pro doesn’t have it due to the exhaust exit.
I feel like if your buying a truck you should be able to get in and out of the bed like every other truck owner before 2010 🤣
The under the seat is there on all options except the hybrid motor due to the batteries
*2* big oversights: No standard recovery hooks *and* no "4WD Auto" option in the 4WD system.
What is 4wd auto
4wd auto should never exist... it wears out components way faster by coupling and uncoupling tons of times
My 4Runner limited has it with over 200k miles without an issue.
No recovery hooks because Toyota never gets stranded , leave the recovery hooks for all others , haven’t you heard the saying “ to all 4WD vehicles, engage 4 low , drive slow, pray. Toyota just drive normal “😜
@@rubenbraekman4515 Let's not get carried away pal. 4WD auto has existed for a long time now and no it does not wear out fast. Some people live in areas where winter driving is treacherous due to packed snow and ice on the roads. 4A has been a life saver for me in all my trucks for many years now, including our current F150s. This and the lack of tow hooks and the battery under the back seat and the massive front grill is a big fail for Toyota.
Take a shot every time Doug says TRD PRO
Thanks now I’m dead
Great I’m here with the Astroworld victims
"Its not a ctrl+c ctrl+v copy of the f150."
"Trust me guys."
"Please."
Never will be, Tundra doesn't break like F150
I just want the F150 flat rear floor and foldout armrest / table in the Tundra. That'd be the perfect truck for me.
Been waiting for this video since the truck was announced 🙌
Toyota really did knock it outa the park in my opinion with this truck, not too crazy, but just enough. Just how I like it!
Thanks for the review Doug!
It’s not like they knocked it out of the park, it’s more like a bunt
Yes! Been waiting for this review and did not disappoint! Looks great and definitely an upgrade from their previous edition that lasted way too long. Probably gonna wait for 2023 or 24 for the kinks to work themselves out and make my purchase! 🤘🏼
Brian how does downsizing from a V8 to a V6 make it an upgrade 🤔?
@@bc_usa he meant aesthetically as a pavement princess
I Initially thought I wouldn't like the redesign and no V8, not to mention all this new tech, but it is growing on me. A little overkill on the "TRD PRO" (in my Doug voice)..and no tow hooks.. but cool BEAST
