why didn't you share what fuel milage you actually got while towing? You talked about it a lot but didn't share the numbers......
Honestly, it was an oversight, so thanks for mentioning it. We managed 18.1L/100KM (13 US MPG) while towing the 7K-LB trailer over a distance of 40 kms (25 miles).
@@TruckKing was that economy rating including the two timed 0-100kph?
@@TruckKing Why not test 10k+ lb like the truck is designed to pull?
@@elwoodhewitt Nope! We do the 0-60 runs after the fuel economy is recorded.
@@TruckKing you can't judge mpg in 25 miles. Drive it 300
Best truck reviewers on RUclips without a doubt. Thanks for all the hard work guys.
They FINALLY made the cab and bed combo I've always wanted from them...but without the V8...just can't win lol
But this outperforms the V8 in every way, and equal or better than the V8s in their graphic except the TRX and that's not really a fair comparison.
@@EasyMoneySG Honestly I'm not too concerned about MPG's and 0-60 on a truck. Plus I rarely if ever tow, I just need a decent payload for camping. Main reason I would want a V8 is just the simple reliability of a naturally aspirated engine. Less stress an parts and less things to break/ maintain/ replace etc. Less parts to be damaged in a front end collision too. And...as an old school truck guy I just prefer the sound of a true V8... not the fake V8 noise some manufacturers play in the door speakers lol
@@TheAntinowherelane V8 engines are as American as apple pie ….
@@TheAntinowherelane sorry, but those 5.7 engines are a pain in the butt when they break. Ask any tech at my dealership, they hate working on those almost as much as the 2GR FE. But both are really reliable.
@@alvidrez7956 🇺🇸🦅💪
Looks like you guys are the first to get one for testing. Well done!
I really like your reviews, especially this one. Very pragmatic and your natural enthusiasm shows, but not all the smug hype like other reviewers. Keep up the great work!
Have you ever walked on a steel bed without a bed liner when wet, slick as ice haha
Damn I haven’t and now I rather not
Ha! Agreed! And man when there's the smallest amount of ice
@@ElmwoodAl you could skate on that!
I agree with Sr, the analog gauges are if anything better. This is the exact trim I am looking at getting.
I heard the markups are crazy at some dealers.
@@penvon only in the USA not here in Canada. Plus we still don’t have them yet. American 🇺🇸 dealership comes first then Canada🤷♂️
Same. I even like the Army Green
@@penvon I have been to 2 different dealers with msrp build sheets from the Toyota website. Both dealers basically laughed at the online build quote I provided telling me that they will be charging a $10-15k “market adjustment” on most models.
I am on my 3rd Tundra with over 400k miles between them all. If Toyota USA allows dealers to treat loyal customers like this…… I am currently driving my last Toyota.
@@mangosnapper35 Yea man this is getting out of hand…Think the manufacturers might have to take a page out of the Tesla book.
Nicely done! Love the Dad perspective! Great channel - keep'er movin!
great review as always. Steven, you and your Dad and your brother make a good team for testing. Looking fwd to seeing more of your brother in future vids.
Good job on the reviews! Being Canadian, I love having reviewers showing Canadian vehicles and packages (Which are very different than what is offered in the US - This SR5 trim is a prime example - no 14’’ screen available on SR5 trim) and also love to have references in KM and L/100. Very refreshing! Just ordered the exact truck - SR5 TRD Off Road, Crewmax with 6.5’ bed. Can’t wait to get it this spring!
Glad you like them!
Great video, can't wait to see how it holds up in time compared to the old 5.7. Only time will tell.
Only recently found your channel. I like it a lot! Keep up the great work.
Love the look inside and out. Wish they had them in my area so I could test drive one.
Good review…very insightful observations and comments.
Great vidds man been waiting for this truck to be put to the test
While I still have and always will have my 17 TRDOR Tacoma and my wife her 17 rav4, I got rid of my 19 tundra in the essence of hauling for a 21 F350 and I’ll never look back “for the aspect of hauling” I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Toyota though! Just because I don’t like the direction their trucks are going in doesn’t mean much in the big picture! I’ve been scoping the 2022 AWD Camry for the wife, man is it Sleek!!!!
A really honest review gents. I love how you do your towing and payload tests. Super hard driving music in the vid btw…who was that?
great vid. you and your dad make a great team! mix of new school and old school mentaility
Great video as always
I just had to cut out the bed floor and weld in a new one this past weekend on my 2007 Tundra. The whole time I was wishing it was a composite bed.
Actual payload is probably much higher, but if they say that it is lower, then they can deny liability and warranty if someone was over the stated payload and had an issue
I love to watch your videos I always learn something from them.
Great video guys. Keep up the good work.
Did you do your own mpg loop? Love the Toyota videos!! Keep ‘em coming!
Great review. So many times only the top level trucks are reviewed. God to see a work truck reviewed. I always use a weather tech bed mat, which is a must for this truck
great video ,how about the notorious bed bounce is that gone with the new coil spring rear suspension ??
Great review fellas, the collaboration with dad who is super knowledgeable is fantastic. Now the Tundra is Just another great competitor in a class full of great competition. Nice haircut mate!
Much appreciated!
That’s actually really cool that Toyota went back to its roots, and went old school by having a box frame for the trucks.
Green looks good on that Tundra trim. Great work, keep it up.
I like the voodoo blue color that I have on my 2020
Good tech info like the new axle ratio that a guy won't find anywhere else. Good video.
Great review guys
I just ordered one, I ordered the same exact truck in army green except mine will have the 5.5' bed. I cant wait to see it! I have been told it should arrive Feb-Mar.
Congrats!!! Keep us updated!!!👍
🇺🇸 you guys are the best! First real life tubdra review! Toyota is very conservative about their specs. Which I prefer when towing or payload.
I like that the Tundra is sporting the same mustachios as your dad. Is Toyota compensating him for inspiring the design? I’d have liked to see how the longer wheelbase and bed would hinder it on your trail system. I know it’s not the primary function for that config but it still had the TRD Off Road badge on it so it’d be interesting to see it tested.
@nathan
I agree on the long wheelbase, it’s gonna be a bear to park it , the turning radius will suck
Great 👍 job boys! 1st ones to review the Tundra on your home turf. Keep the vids rolling.
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for the video!!! Great job as always!!! Great information!!!
I never knew that about the rear ratio. That's quite interesting 🤔 👍
Great job men. Seems like an honest truck without too much tech-crap getting in the way of using it as a truck.
Thanks 👍
As nice as it is, I am curious how long the v6 engine will last. The v8 always lasted a lifetime.
It would be great to review 5 people who switched to a 2022 Tundra from Ford or GM, and then review 5 people switched from Tundra to a Ford or GM. Real world comparisons.
Good idea. Now and after long term ownership as well. See if the redesigned Tundra is nearly as reliable as the outgoing model.
@@kross1261 would have to wait a few years. For me at least 10 years before I give up my 2021.
@@Baebon6259 I waited 13 to buy my 2020 after owning my 07 250k miles and only replaced the starter very reliable trucks. Planning on 10 plus years again for my 2020.
Nobody cares about ford or GM, always waiting to get repairs done at the dealership . That is why we all bought Toyota Tundra’s for reliability.
Love to see it pull and RV. Flat trailers are pretty easy to pull compared to a large wall.
Yes, a 100 miles on the highway with a 26 foot camper, loaded up with gear and water in the tanks, plus an ATV in the truck bed. Then go have a fun weekend mudding. Actually, can I just borrow that truck?
@@RigiLiquid945 with a 7000lb GVW RV is pushing around 900-950lbs tongue weight. With a 200lb male in the truck you’re not Hanna have the payload for it 😂.
Are you guys going to test the TRD pro TwinTurbo hybrid Towing capacity just like the TRD off-road?
Great review guys!
Thanks so much!
New Tundra looks promising!!
New 2022 Silverado and Sierra out in March 2022! Looks like they made some great changes! Hope you guys will be reviewing those as well!
I like the Canadian maple leaf in the floor board of the interior shots. 🇨🇦
Very good video, sounds like a yes, subscribed!!
Welcome aboard!
Now if the midsize segment took this lead, and offered more longer beds with rear lockers. I guess I may have to hold up my end and buy this exact setup that I've been screaming for for years...along with everyone else.
Ford, and GM offer rear lockers, and a few of the Ram configurations do as well, so if that's your problem is a lack of a locker remember GM, Ford, and Ram have offered lockers for several years before Toyota finally caught up to the fact that their fake "LSD" was a running joke with every other automaker.
Wish you had towed with the payload as well. That's how most of use these when towing a camper etc. Glad to see an SR review finally.
I think that would have put them over the legal payload.
@@ALMX5DP for sure. 1,000 pounds of barrel, 500 pounds of dude, and 700+ pounds of tongue weight puts them quite a bit over the payload.
Not that people won’t be doing it.
I can really appreciate the points you shared with your assessment of performance of the SR5 with the TRD off road package. My local dealership has this model with a little more additional bells and whistles. I want to test drive and get a personal feel of it. I currently own the 2021 Toyota Tundra Double Cab SR5. I was thinking of trading it in and then purchase the 2022 because I want a crewman tundra with 6 foot bed. But in one video review you guys did of the comparison of the 2022 TRD Pro Hybrid vs the 2022 SR5 off road package it seems the TRD Pro is the better truck. I like the lift it has. Not sure if I want to wait for it to hit dealerships, supposedly they won’t be receiving any until 6-8 months down the line. I haven’t checked yet but do they have a TRD PRO without the hybrid?
I noticed when looking at packages with toyota you can't get the tow mirrors with the TRD. Is toyota going to sell them aftermarket/seperate?
Already seeing dealer mark ups in NJ, NY, PA area. We'll be buying one as soon we can without overpaying.
67K for 1794 model from VA.
Great review, seriously helped. Thanks guys.
Glad to hear it!
@@TruckKing yup, getting ready to tow a 32’ travel trailer for the first time with that same exact tundra so you two have help with calming the nerves. Love the content, thanks again!
Great review as always, Nice truck looks like Toyota done their homework as expected, it’s a shame that Toyota doesn’t offer at least another option for the rear differential like a 3:73, 4:10 or the 4:30 for the guys pulling the heavy campers etc through the mountains and aren’t as worried about fuel mileage because everyone knows there’s a trade off between mileage and performance when towing close to max. upper limits
They should have kept the 5.7L V8 and the 4:30, and maybe went to an 8 or 10 speed transmission for those of us that actually use our trucks as trucks.
I'm excited for the hybrid testing.
I have no doubt that the 2022 Tundra is a fine truck. I've watched 2-3 dozen videos now on it. With that said, there is nothing about it that makes me regret buying a 2020 Tundra Limited TRD Off Road.
I bought that truck for $42,450. There is no way you can touch that price. It was not just the reliability that made the Tundra such a great choice but the price. It was so much cheaper than the competition for equally equipped features.
The entry cost on these new Tundra's is enormous and I just could not swallow $50,000 US for a SR5 truck.
Exactly
Agreed, bought a 2020 SR5 TSS Edition in May of 2020 and the new Tundra looks great but there isn't enough for me to regret buying my 2020 Tundra.
Different market. I was easily get 13-15k off on f150 until early this year. Now i can get 2k off if I am lucky. You keep your truck or sell it for more than you paid and buy this new gen tundra at msrp if you like it. I drove my suv for 2yrs and sold for more than what i paid..
I took a 15 SR5 CM, added a Magnuson supercharger, American racing headers, 4.88, rear posi, shell camper/roof rack, 46 gal gas tank, amp steps and dual sub stereo and icon suspension and dap tuning for under 55k with labor. Best deal is diy.
@@Chefjjdecker you are still missing out on ride quality and cabin noise. I have owned(personal, work) every single half ton and some 3/4 and 1ton. I believe tundra will outlast domestic trucks but tundra gives you the worst ride quality and noise(engine, road, wind).
Good job toyota you caught up with the competition
Good review. My dealer has me on a list for a ‘22 Limited iForce Max Crew max with air suspension. I will likely add a spray in bed liner to keep items from sliding. Plan to sell my ‘21 Limited Off-Road Tundra Crew max in early ‘22! Not enough info online to know exactly what I’ll order. Been frustrating how Toyota has dragged this out.
Depending on what types of loads you'll have, may take a look at Bedrugs. I put one in on my current truck and love the textured grippy surface. I dont haul yard debris or dirt often though, so that may be harder to clean out once it's time to. I got mine instead of bedliner since bedliner can also be a little slippery at times, and it's completely removable so if i ever wanted to go back to stock I can.
I had my 08 Tundra bed rhino lined, worked great except when you actually needed things to slide around LOL.
Great vid, thanks. Just put down a deposit on a SR Sport model (might change to the off-road, though I'm not bashing up crazy trails). Weird thing is the ratings - I'm looking at the Toyota Canada website and it lists the payload for the 4x4 TRD SR Off-Road model as 1819 lbs with towing at 11,115. Also says that the engine is 348 hp and not the tuned 389. Not sure why these specs and stats have to be all over the place. In addition, noticed your model doesn't have heated seats? Seems standard on the online build for that model. Confusing.
cant wait to see the hybrid one in action.
Engine sounds awesome 👏
Love that colour.
We all been waiting for a very long time but finally we get to see the 2022 Tundra on the Truck King testing grounds !
TK! It would be awesome to hear what you and your dads midsize y’all would prefer and reasons why, which full size y’all would prefer and reasons why, and finally which one out the of the 2 would y’all ultimately go with and why! Y’all give the realest reviews would love y’all’s feedback. Thanks!
I don’t think they’ll do it for promotional/professional/ monetary reasons and I understand, it would just be cool to hear their own personal picks and why.
Hi Steve and Howard. I just watched 'Tremor vs Tundra vs Power Wagon 2021 Compilation 4x4 Off-Roading Full Size Trucks' video and the older Tundra struggled. I hope the new Tundra has better locking rear and front diff's. The video showed opposite front and rear wheels spinning and stopping forward movement.
It has mts atrac system and a rear locking 🔒 diff in the TRD OFFROAD trim. Yes it will he much better.
@@SimplyCarReviews Thanks.
No front locker or tow hooks..
The previous Tundras didn't have a locker at all, and never have had a front locker. Aftermarket is available though if you want lockers....but 99% of people don't need a locker, and wouldn't know how to use it even if they did, it would get them into far more trouble than just AWD or 4WD alone.
I’m hopefully getting mine in the next handful of weeks? I ordered the SR5 army green with the sport package, I really liked the color molding around the truck and the sports tuned suspension because to be honest it will be off-road I would say 10% of the time? And more time spent on road so I wanted more comfort will I miss the rear locker? Well I didn’t have it in my 2020 so I guess I won’t miss it lol great video I can’t wait to get mine.
What's the ride quality like over rougher pavement? Specifically empty bed, no tow bounce. Did getting rid of the leaf springs improve that? Also, some reviewers noted excess wind noise: did you find that to be the case? Thanks!
it’s quiet and does not bounce.
The boxed frame would solve the bed bounce problem, it had nothing to do with springs, it was due to the fact that Toyota cut corners and went with an open C-channel frame under the bed on the previous Tundra.
I wonder if you can configure the tundra with the front bench seats and column shifter?
I have that same truck but with the 5 1/2 foot bed, love the Army Green and Black subdued grill and decals, bought at 50k MSRP, wish it had electronic seats, a locking gas cap, catalytic converter shield, and tow hooks....Otherwise rides great, plenty of power for towing and payload for a 1/2 ton truck and decent fuel economy...
Fellas, fantastic content, but PLEASE keep an eye on your load! At 8:15, you’ll start to see the barrels sliding around in the bed. As always, a great video!!!! I just don’t want to see someone get hurt or you guys get in trouble for “donating” a barrel to someone’s front bumper
Alright 👍!!! Looks great TRD tundra... 👌👌
Thanks for the video.
Can't afford this truck as of yet but maybe in a few years I can buy a used one haha
I like the redesigned interior and new power train, although I wish they would have offered an optional v8 whether the 5.7 or a new v8. The biggest issue with me is the horrible front and rear end design, it is not growing on me at all. I think toyota really tried too hard to make it like the domestic 3 rather than keeping it simple and well toyota lol. Hopefully they refresh the truck in 3-4 years and make it less exotic looking.
they will offer a few different front end grill trims... but overall I feel like the chunky design is a good one. I bet it looks better in person than in videos or pictures
Just change the front bumper problem solved, and the rear isn’t so bad at all
@@gray_ios8924 isn’t the front bumper integrated into the fender and grille? So technically you would have to carve up that front end to put a front bumper on the truck. I’m not not comfortable doing that if I bought the truck.
I'm thinking about washing it and not having that wrap around bumper would be nice. I'm always smashing fingers trying to get behind the bumpers on the last design.
Most likely they will. This feels like the honda civic when they made it all rice 🍚 and now they brought it back to the simple civic. Yeah! Different vehicles but it seems similar in the points you just said.
Can't wait for the hybrid version test.
Payload isn't about just load on the suspension and body. It's also about how the truck can stop when loaded and how it handles. if you have brakes setup to stop 11000 lbs towed and you tow 14000 the truck may be physically capable to tow it or have more in the bed but the safety is compromised. They always state lower limits to reduce their liability if someone does something stupid.
good point.
Awesome video thanks for the content. My tacoma said it pulls 7000 i couldn't pull 3500. It stakked real bad but I think the 17s had transmission trouble anyway. I love my 18 tundra need pull around 12k though hopefully thus new one will do it and last for the long haul. Just wish they would go ahead make a 3/4 ton or ton option. Why do they still put that nasty chrome on it.
A little chrome looks just fine. I personally like it. I have the 2020 sr5 trd offroad in Voodoo blue and I love it. Chrome around the grill with the black badging looks great with the trd offroad 18" rims. I love it. Just perfect.🙂
12k behind a Tundra LOL. You better find a 3/4 ton to do that. Way too much weight for a 1/2 ton to be toting around, and you'd max out the payload with tongue weight LOL.
Great job as always, I am a big Tundra fan and I do tow a travel trailer with it around the US, we have never had am issue with power through the mountains or down south and we are from the north east. My only concern is the v6 compared to the v8 as you start to go distances with that v6 will it be able to hold up. Currently have a 2020 SR5 TRD sport and qe tow a 29ft trailer coming in at around 6500 when fully loaded. No do I feel it yes but I have no issue Maintaining a speed of 65 mph. Will I upgrade is the question will continue to see your thoughts o. The new Tundra, Thanks any input would be welcome 👍
I wouldn't want to be towing with a V6 that kind of weight continually...it might be ok for the occasional camping trip, but to be travelling all over the country towing all the time, I'd stick to a V8...you can't replace displacement and expect longevity with a smaller engine. I'll stick to a V8 and get the same and sometimes better fuel economy than those nonsense Turbo V6 engines.
Great review! I am sorry but is this an sr5 trim or a trd off road. I think I heard him say sr5 but at 4:45 it says on the side of the trunk trd off road. 😊
It’s a sr5 trd off road
What was fuel economy while towing? Would be great to see a compare with others as well.
You can really tell that Toyota didn't have towing as their first priority here (not saying that's a bad thing), they went the smarter route by going for fuel economy and comfort with the coils because not everyone is gonna be pulling a trailer, if so it wouldn't be that heavy. If they really wanted to they can make this thing tow they could've made it like 14,000lbs or close to that just like the f150
Its more than capable, if you want the all out, get the trd pro.
Stephen, What a relief that they sent a 'basic' truck to test for a change. Maybe some day you might get one with an actual 8 foot bed. As others have said, only time will tell if the reliability of the new model matches the 5.7.
Impossible for Twin Turbos to be as reliable as naturally aspirated engines. If anyone says otherwise then I suggest that Toyota up the warranty to 200,000 kms on the Turbos. 😃
@@Thankyou_3 Based on the normally aspirated engines of past, those were done before 150k... This ain't the past. Moving parts and electronics are moving parts and electronics. All engines have them, moving parts, may as well make them work better. There's nothing to say turbos are bad, otherwise vehicles that demand longevity wouldn't have them, see commercial trucking, See diesel engines... The turbos aren't the weak point until somebody does their own tinkering under the hood and fries them from tuning, or something different than originally engineered.
@@brentworls8509 Those are some very valid points, let's revisit this discussion in 2036 to see how the 2022 Tundra V6 and V6 Hybrid are holding up against the 2021 Tundra 5.7.
@@rightlanehog3151 I think the trade-off of any perceived or expected maintenance issues is outweighed by the benefits in efficiency. They aren't all that hard to change out if something does happen, and my 2017 F-150 2.7 with 118,000 miles runs like new, and gets over 600 miles out of a tank. Turbos shouldn't be a deal breaker, at least if they go bad, the truck probably still drives. I think the transmissions with 8-10-more speeds are the newest weak point, moreso than the turbos when used to the limits.
I trust in Toyota. If the TTV6 wasn’t reliable, they wouldn’t put it in the new Land Cruiser, Tundra, LX600 and Sequoia.
Sounds solid
OK I really like your channel better than your previous channel. I believe this particular model is the exact same horsepower but more torque. Also not sure at the end your chart said that the TRD pro was faster than the TRD SR5. I thought the pro would be a little slower. Either way I have a 2021 TRD LTD. and I love it. Thanks for the info
Well, I worked for TFL - whereas now my Dad and I own Truck King. Welcome.
@@TruckKing , Yes sir. I understand. I guess I should’ve said that more directly. What part of Canada are you ?
@@COMMANDER-ONE We are in southern Ontario
Why this SR5 off-road package has the red stripe and TRD badge on the steering wheel? I have never seen any other one got it? Anyone knows?
As far as the fuel mileage it appears that they are using Narrower tires now....when you showed that door stick it looked like the first number was 265. Narrower means lighter and less wind resistance.
Good eye ,I’ll be putting 275s on mine. Probably lose a couple of miles a gallon
And cheaper for Toyota to build
When will you do the TRD Pro ?
I bought a 2020 Limited in 2020 because I could see the V8 was going away, sure maybe that turbo 6 has power and fuel mileage but I will keep this truck as I did my last one (Titan ) for at least 15 years so I did not want the probable and expensive maintenance that will be required later on while I still own it…..
I did the same!!! There is nothing like a natural aspirated V8 5.7 proven reliable!!! I should have ordered two of them!!!
I wanna see some testing using the minimum recommended 87 octane vs some 93 octane. Lord knows they have to pull boost and timing to deal with 87.
Toyota recommends premium for any towing
@@paulhunter9613 yeah… just because it can run on crap doesn’t mean it runs best on it.
Love this
6:18 4.30 rear end in the old Tundra? No wonder it was a gas guzzler! I just hope that torque monster turbo engine will handle the 3.30 gears without performance loss, because I might buy one of these myself if I do get an oil field job.
The 4.30 rear end was great for a tow rig, and it did pretty well for fuel economy if you didn't drive like a bat out of hell...I'd get 19mpg consistently empty, I'd occasionally get over 20mpg out on the freeway but didn't go that direction very often LOL. Towing 7-8k though I'd get 12-13mpg. The problem was the 6 speed was always trying to figure out what gear to be in.
Looking forward to the TRDpro
shows us you getting in the back of the truck (the box)
please do the efficiency test like ford
shifting in sport/manual really helps
FINALLY!!!! A crewman with 6.5’ bed! That wasn’t that hard was it? Sheesh
They realized most people don't park their truck in the garage.
But what's the turning radius on something that long? Like that of a supercarrier? That's what my '17 GMC 1500 single cab with 8' bed fees like sometimes...
Sid
Yea or ever park it in a big box or grocery store, that will never happen..
I am looking for 22' Limited with big screen.
that's my only qualm with these toyota trucks. The twin turbo-V6 combo although good for fuel economy in the short term, the turbos put too much stress on the engine which leads them to being much more susceptible to damage.
I was thinking the same thing.
But how can I buy one in Ontario ? Not much for pricing out is there ?
All trucks are gangsters until they’re send off to Truck King for reviews 😂😅 that’s when we know if they’re it or not.
Kinda wish they would put the iforce max tundra in the running since they have several different fords in there
Good vid, but I’m really struggling to understand what’s so respectable about a 1450lb payload rating? That’s less than a Honda Ridgeline or Tacoma. Pile a few corn fed dudes in there plus their gear and you’re out of payload. Why pay $50k+ for a grocery getter?
Agreed. Pretty disappointing. Just bought a load 21 F150 and it's 1610lbs. And has every option box ticked. I'd bet a equivalent Tundra would be 1200lbs. With payload numbers this low you'd NEVER be able to legally tow anywhere near the 11000lbs. Fricken hate manufacturers using these bs tow numbers.
Some of that comes down to the way the truck is optioned out, but Toyota has always had pretty dismal hauling/towing numbers. Was never impressed with their payload capacity.
I am also interested on payload. how ford has almost double the payload on the F150
Because the ford is a truck..
Great review you guys ! I know my dad might like the new tundra !
As a former Toyota tech-
Toyota .”we have a lot of 3.5 v6s !
What are we gonna do??
Let’s twin turbo them and stuff them in a truck !
Ford is doing it !
Truck looks ok? Front is not my favorite.
And is the engine also using 0w15
Goya cooking oil? 😂
ok I’ll stop
I guess this is one way to get Tundras into pick a part yards is putting garbage engines into them and then trying to boast they're better than the old tried and true V8.
Can you show it towing 11k ? I love my tundra and I love toyota but they been known to extrgate a litte.
