#ToyotaTundra #ChevySilverado #RamRebel
Good verdict and conclusion Andre...
@@theaviator06 Usually the tires make all the difference. Raptor is equipped with KO2s stock, so maybe it was the tires. Unless you tested all of the trucks with the same tires, it's not an apple to apple comparison. Although the Raptor is a great truck, maybe you just overpaid for how it felt in the snow without taking into consideration the stock tires usually they come with.
@@albowrx And so does suspension
@@sergeysmelnik In a snow storm? Um ok.
@@albowrx Read what he said again. He said steering feel. Any time you turn the steering wheel the suspension compresses then decompresses on each side. So yes. Especially in a snow storm suspension and feel of suspension matters.
@@theaviator06 you’re comparing a raptor to a AT4... not even close to being the same type of truck
Call me crazy, but if there was a truck with the reliability of toyota, the exterior of chevy, and the interior of RAM I think that'd be the one I'd keep forever.
Well said
@@powerwagon1897 I'd take the Toyota with the Ram's ZF designed 8-speed transmission, 4-link rear axle arrangement, and interior. If I took anything from the Chevy it would probably only be the 6.2 engine option.
That's what I've been saying for a year. There is an empty slot in the market and Toyota could fill it very easily.
Funny thing is the Chevy and RAM actually do have the same quality. Don't believe me? Check out the complaints on the NHTSA web site. They all are about identical. Toyota built a better truck 30 years ago. Today, not so much. It's all advertising lies.
I was thinking the same thing!!! I ended up with a Ram Bighorn though...just wish I got the off road package
Hopefully Alex will keep us updated on the Rebel. I know the Tundra is the wise choice but the Rebel looks the best.
I just drove from Utah to Nebraska in my Tundra and got 18.5 mpg all the way through the Rocky Mountains going at a decent pace. I’ve gotten better than epa estimates pretty much my entire ownership.
My 2016 5.7 DC averages 19.6
You’re both liars lol
Which engine do y’all have?
*VIOLENTLY SLAPS TOP OF 5.7 iForce COVER*
"This bad boy can fit 500,000 miles in 'er"
500,000? Those are embarrassingly low numbers for a tundra.
Honestly, I would definitely go for the tundra
I did 2021 cement Trd off road for the money the best I put heated seat in at dealership for free! Navigation package! Great Truck!
Same here, I can't say I wouldn't LOVE a new F150 ecoboost, but I'd be hard pressed to bypass a proven platform like the tundra. I have an old rusty 01 tundra with 300k miles and was feeling i'd never get another Truck as reliable as it, but these tundras are very close, probably last of the line... as once they update the tundy the crazy tech and luxury stuff will arrive (look at the Camry and avalon).
I’d also choose the Tundra...only reason I sold mine was very poor mpg, oh, and the radio sounded flat and weak, otherwise I loved everything else about it.
If I could get one with a combined fuel economy of 22+mpg and a nicer sounding radio, I would buy it again!!
Hope you like paying for gas. Mine Barely get 13 highway
Tundra is the ugliest and most outdated truck
Traded my Tacoma for a Trail Boss. My Tacoma was apparently an outlier. Blown head gasket, transmission went out and two injectors decided they were no longer needed.
Looking at the tacoma off road and the trail boss custom. The Tacoma is a nice truck. I just can't get over how small it feels compared to the trail boss
@@orlfane1622 the tacoma is a mid sized while the trail boss is a full sized so yeah its gonna be tiny
@@3CODKing But there isn't that much of a difference in price. Thats the issue.
Wow. I didn’t see that coming. I thought the Rebel was the sure pick. Congrats Tundra.
Toyota has the biggest gas tank, but can go the least miles per tank at 13 mpg city. Winner in TFL eyes.
@@voltecrules624 I get what you’re saying for daily driving use but I know at least for me I care more about highway range on one tank when it comes to long drives. When I do 15 hour drives every year every 100 miles more on a tank could mean all the difference when you need an extra gas stop before arriving at 10am after a whole night of driving
Rebel ecodiesel would be the best
Still can't get over the fake hood scoop on top of a fake hood scoop and mediocre interior. Trail Boss for me with the Rebel as the second pick.
Spoiler alert!
Grew up as a Chevy fan. Have owned a couple Toyotas. Currently a 2020 Ram owner....enjoyed this review Andre
Hows the ram, currently in the Chevy considering a Ram
Really enjoying it. 5.7 sounds great. My daughter loves the back seat. The dial is different than a usual stick gearshift but opens up the center for so much storage. Heated/ventilated seats work better than the Toyota and it has a heated steering wheel. I usually switch every 3 to 4 years.....as long as the Ram doesn’t leave me stranded...I may keep this one longer.
@@jjcampos4859 best decision i made. Ram 2019 new model. 5.7 hemi
@@billseiler4952 i feel like ram IS the best option for people who switch more frequently. Kept longer and history sorta shows they develop severe electrical issues
@@jjcampos4859 I consider myself a Toyota guy. I have an older Tacoma that I use for fun and my girlfriend has a 4Runner. I have also had several Fords for work. My daily driver when not at work is a Ram 1500 Bighorn. I absolutely love my Ram. The 5 link rear suspension makesbit handle nicer than other trucks. The 5.7 is great, but the real star of thw show is the ZF8 transmission. It is the only automatic transmission I have driven that always does exactly what I want it to do.
The most important fact to me is I know the Toyota will last much longer. I put 300,000 on my last Tundra. Never had an issue! My 2019 has 15,000, and I know it will be there for me for years and years. They aren’t the most fancy, but they are built to last.
that's why we built them at the end.such a great starting platform
My buddy has had tons of issues with his tundra........... they really aren't reliable.........
had many problems with my 2018 Ram, engine and electrical, never buy again
Tundra TRD pro ( in Crew Max) All day long baby.....
Just starting the video, but I’m going TRD pro between these trucks. I’m a dealer tech, and I just did the used vehicle prep on one at work the other day and I was impressed with the truck. Didn’t take it off road, but I did test drive it and it rode very smooth, I was impressed with the suspension feel daily driving, and the fit and finish of everything throughout the truck was very nice. I drive a Ford, but if I went with anything else it would be a TRD pro tundra.
A quick buyer beware: Toyota decided to ditch their transmission cooler on all 2019 and up Tundras with the redesign of the new AC Condensers. I have 15K on my 2019 and I have installed a trans cooler, however, I was not excited to see the color of my fluid when I did the install...
Ive got a 19 crewmax and planning on the same thing. They advertise still having a "trans cooler" which is really just a trans heater. No cooling happens till your trans is over 200 something degrees...
Toyota: making subpar crap even crappier
@@benjaminowen6181 That is correct. It's worth the insurance to do the job. I've been monitoring transmission temps and it doesn't break 202° F now. If you need a Toyota OEM kit I can direct you to a guy who puts them together. It's a solid kit.
@@Welcometofacsistube I test drove every half ton vehicle offered in the states, other than the lack of a transmission cooler, the Tundra driving characteristics and cabin are extremely comfortable.
Transmission coolers are not needed for 90% if buyers and are questionable if they actually help with long term reliability aka look at Nissan with the frontier platform
Super surprised he picked the tundra 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I had a Tacoma TRD SPORT and it was a great truck...super reliable but towing our Hybrid was a struggle at times. Now, I have a TUNDRA SR5 TRD OFF ROAD and that thing is a towing beast. I also found it no worse on fuel than the Tacoma when empty and way better on fuel when towing. The fit and finish of the Tundra is like Toyota...real well made.
make sure to check the trans temp. Toyota ditched the trans cooler in 2019 + models.
That Tundra TRD double cab is quite the unicorn you’ve got there. Good luck finding one for sale, and even better luck getting a greedy dealer to sell it for MSRP!
He is correct. Not much for choice out there. Bought 2020 & there was nothing but the usual colors & no Pros
I just ordered a Lunar Crewmax at 2k below msrp and only add was a spray in Bedliner. Got them to deliver from Louisiana to Laredo for nothing. Biggest kicker was my trade value was higher than what I paid in March of 2020. I wasn’t in the market and happy with my SR5 tundra but when you can trade foe more than you pay 10 months later... Also, in case anyone else is looking for the lunar color, they quoted me 3 months. Good thing I locked in that trade value now.
Richard , did you order your truck thru a dealership , or ?
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 Richard , did you order your truck thru a dealership , or ...?
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 the dealer seriously offered more for a trade in than you bought it for? how does that even happen?
TUNDRA all the way! Im in love with my tundra 4x4 !
Buy American you commie
Having owned a Tundra for five years now and 150k+ miles I can say Toyota builds a Great truck. I work with several guys who have Chevys, Rams and Fords all of which have had their trucks in the Shop for some mechanical problems, some have been major. I’ve only had one issue, a bad Catalytic converter. I use mine driving in 70 miles a day in Houston traffic and at my ranch. I regularly pull a 6500lb tractor with ease and find the Tow Haul mode to be the best I’ve used.
Tundra is the best for real world application like you mention 👍👍
@@ChrisMan280 yes because your not going to worried about something breaking and costing a fortune
And I'm sure you used to walk to school uphill both ways in the snow too when you were a kid...😉
So, then all four different brands have been in the shop...a bad catalytic converter is $$$ if you have to replace out of warranty OEM.
@@Pantera4u ow ya that's the worse thing ever it's not to bad with Wellys but whit shoes I can't imagine what it would be like
I seriously like them all. I’ve owned all the domestic brands. Some were Awsome. When I bought a new truck last year. I chose the tundra. I just wanted a V8 without any cylinder deactivation. The truck is solid. Love driving it. I’m sure the others are Awsome as well. I just felt like if I decided to keep my truck for ten years than I made the right choice and if I decide to trade it in after 4 years then. Well. The resale value is second to none. Can’t beat that ram interior though. Beautiful.
Great choice!! Love my Tundra
Had my 2010 Tundra for. 10 years. Sold for 12k that cause it had 87k miles only and 4x4. Honestly the interior left much to be desired. Gas mileage sucked. 4 door noncrew can cause I hate smaller beds but had to trade in with my kids having no rear seating room with car seats. Sad really. They need to step up there game. Better mpg, complete revamp of interior, larger bed and I'll be back. Otherwise it's a losing truck to me.
Frostacious to be honest ya sold that truck wayyyy to cheap! Tech on the truck isn’t the best I agree & has is terrible! But hey we didn’t buy a truck for fuel economy right?!?!? I’ll keep enjoying my “Ancient” reliable v8! 😎
@@Mr.C-Mister that’s the price the dealership put on my 07 with 250k hard mile tundra when I just bought my 2020 and sold it for 11k. You did sell that way too cheap. Tundra’s shine for 1 reason and that’s reliability. I personally don’t feel the tundra is that far behind the competition and I drove them all. I really like my 2020 so far. Going for 300k+ reliable miles on this one
@@joseperezpaz9986 people talk a out tech but Toyotas safety sense with autonomous braking and adaptive lazer guided cruise is all standard equipment as well as navigation. Others make you pay extra or don't even offer those features. Only thing other than the dated interior is that it doesn't offer 360 camera view and it has a smaller screen. Neither of those would be deal breakers for me. The 5.7 has plenty of power and the reliability and resale of this truck make it a great choice regardless of how dated it may be.
Wow I didn't know a Chevy half ton had 11,000lbs. more payload than their 1 ton dually and "SEMI" payload capability at 16,000lbs. Lol
Paused to look for this comment! It can haul almost twice the amount of weight In it’s bed than it can tow!
@@JonBecker81 lol I it was too easy not to say something.
Wow, you drive trucks? Payload and trailer weight are not the same thing. You are referring to the trailing weight allowance, not the payload.
I like the RAM the best, but if it was my money I would get the Tundra. Everyone I know with a Toyota pickup has a ton of miles on them. Reliability is the most important factor for me.
I've had three Toyota vehicles, two Tacoma and one Tundra. First Tacoma was a 4 cylinder, nice truck but no power. The other two dropped their transmissions around 150K. I am religious on maintenance, and my tundra suspension was sub par and began to rust out.
Can't have one here. They made the wiring with something biodegradable. Mice absolutely love eating Toyota wiring
Idk why so many people assume that Chevy's are not reliable, that engine has been around for a while and tfl has had no problems with it...
@@Dnh-Bear My wife had an equinox. It was the worst vehicle I've ever had to deal with in my life. I will never buy another GM product.
@@Nikephorus Ok I can't argue with that, but how was it bad?
Went from a 2019 RAM Rebel to a 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO and couldn't be happier with my decision.
Why?
@@Jake-xn4tr 38 gal gas tank, reliable to this point, the feel of driving a truck vs the RAM had more of a SUV ride and the sense of community Toyota has in my area in AZ. Both great trucks but the RAM left me stranded in the woods, just a dead battery but I never looked at it the same.
@@aaronkerth1171 what are you talking about. The Tundra drives horribly compared to the RAM. Tacoma even worse.
@@paulj9821 my statement was that it drives like a truck doesn't imply better then. Its a personal preference and one could easily say the RAM drives better. That being said the TRD PRO has much better trail manners then the RAM.
@@aaronkerth1171 Exactly! Why don't people get this? It's a truck, not a luxury car. If people want a smooth ride and a big fancy touchscreen go buy a Lincoln Continental and don't forget to take your metamucil!😂
Lmao at Rancho shocks. Those were all the rage in the mid 90's for us highschool guys on our junker chevy and fords.
Yeah, it's embarrassing that's what Chevy went with. They're junk shocks.
@@quintili1 Rancho makes a good shock . I have their budget 2 inch sport lift with their 5000 series shocks . No problems at all . 25kmiles. Smooth ride , handles the bumps well , and look cool. Dont understand why the fact teenagers back in the day buying them would make them a crappy product ? Yes they are budget friendly , but they also make higher series which are just as good as billstein or fox , depending on the type of application .
@@quintili1
They don't make "junk" shocks. Maybe, you should go to their website and see their whole product line. Ya know, do some research before opening your mouth and removing any doubt of intelligence.
And KC daylighter🇺🇸
@@Sig721Tau every ranchero shock I see up north is rusty.
I love the Tundra. I currently own a 2019 Crewmax TRD Pro. I've also previously owned a 2017 Crewmax TRD Pro. Love the fact that it's old school with a 6-speed automatic tranny and the legendary 5.7L V8 which has proven to be the most reliable motor in a full size truck. Do I give a rats ass about gas mileage, not at all. I did not buy the Tundra for good gas mileage. It's an old platform and Toyota knows that it works. Why do I need a 700HP RAM TRX or a Ford Raptor to go do grocery shopping. I wonder how many recalls have already be announced for the TRX. I stay away from unreliable domestic cars & trucks. I know that my Tundra will last me another 25 years without any major issues.
Wasn't it the 4.7 in the 1,000,000 truck, my cousin has about 300,000 km in his 2007 with 5.7, think he only replaced the water pump, he doesn't like the fuel economy, and it has some rust on rear wheel wells and box, otherwise still runs good.
Legandary 10 miles per gallon lol
@@garys2157 - You are correct, Gary!!!
@@willrector9716 Troll comment. You know that's not true.
Yes they get 10 to 13 mpg..... no lie and not trolling. I live in the hills. Everyone I know gets the same mileage
Checked out all 3 trucks before buying my Rebel. Each have their strong and weak spots, but I chose the Rebel overall. I LOVE the interior space, comfort and overall package. If you want a work truck and not worry about aesthetics, the TRD is the way to go.
Nobody buys a 4x4 equipped pickup for work duty unless they are in the oilfield service. Driving around the city with a heavy ass 4x4 for your construction business is dumb. It'll eat into your fuel costs. 2wd is the way too go.
@@Sig721Tau LOL. maybe in florida. Some of us get 2 feet of snow just overnight. Good luck with your 2wd.
At the roofing company i worked for before ALL our trucks were 4x4. Gotta have it working in reno and south tahoe.
@@Sig721Tau I disagree. I live in Jersey and we get lotsa snow. That’s why I chose the Ram Rebel for work. Safety is my number one priority.
@@Sig721Tau I have a landscaping and snow removal business...4X4 is a MUST year around at where we work at. Would've gotten stuck in the dirt/mud and snow many times if it wasn't for 4x4
Tundra all the way built to last forever. While others built tough to maintain ....
Modern Toyota pickups are not as reliable as people seem to think they are, or as reliable as they used to be. Ram and GM have really picked up the pace
@Guy martin feel free to actually do some research and checkout repairpal bud 👍
Toyota is a little outdated but i would still go for it. I bought this years tacoma off road just cuz of the gas mileage
The tacos real life mpg isn’t that different from a full sized truck honestly definitely not hwy.
MPG in Tacoma and Tundra is pretty poor by comparison, Toyota desperately needs 8+ gears in the transmission. The HEMI can easily get 20+mpg hwy ever since the 8-speed introduced...in fact it's getting better MPG than all of my V6 Toyotas and Nissan's I've ever owned and I've owned many. Still a great truck, but I would not choose a Toyota for MPG reasons.
@@BrianLampright913 the tundra basically has hemispherical heads just like the hemi. The difference that makes it have worse mpg is 6 speed vs 8 and a 4.30 rear end
@@BrianLampright913 no way, more speeds equals less reliability, same with small turbo engines. Tundra is hands down statistically the best , but heard they are ruining it with turbo 6 and 10 speed.
16000 lbs of payload in a trailboss. Time to scrap the heavy duties.
Lol i think he meant 1600 lbs payload.
Yea, it’s definitely not 16k. 1600lbs payload for the bed.
If Toyota could just make a modern interior they’d have my vote...but I love the new Ram. Great video guys!
Resale and reliability.... do that test again at 100k and 200k , that’s if the ram and Gm make it that long..
Im done with GM . We bought a new half ton since 2012 a 12, 13, 15 and a 2016 . All of the dashboards had rattles that drive you crazy. The transmissions would bang when shifting sometimes. They had lifter failures in the newer Direct injection V8s . My 2016 dropped one 🤦🏻♂️
Also the center leaf spring will snap right where the U-bolts go. Happened on every silverado we owned.
Needless to say i traded both Silverados for a 17 Ram 5.7 and a new 2019 Blacked out Ram sport 5.7 GM trucks seems to just break !
So far i have had a door adjusted on the 19 . The 17 has been faultless so far.
I have a 2016. Zero issues. Tight as the day I drove it new off the lot. Will be getting a new Silverado either late this year or early next. Don’t care for any of the competition except maybe the Rebel.
For me it’s about resale value and reliability. Only the Tundra has both of those...
The 80s say hi
Let's hope so! Can wait to ditch my tundra! So tired of driving that dinosaur between gas stations...
The Toyota runs over the energizer bunny when he' s done and laughs.
I’d still take the tundra trd pro over any other full size truck
Same here!!
Just dont crash it cause its test rating is awful and some of the tests are on youtube showing why. Personally, id get an f150. They have less issues long term than ram and chevy and while not as reliable as the tundra, at least will protect u and your family properly
@@dr._breens_beard I for one cannot eliminate a truck because of its crash test rating. You can die in any vehicle, even a Subaru. Sure, you're probably more protected but that doesn't guarantee your survival. It's just another selling gimmick for Manufacturers to use to sell their cars.
@@born2win259 thats your right but dying is the least of your worries in a crash. most vehicles wont kill u unless at extreme speed or against a very large vehicle like a semi. its the crippling of your body that can make u wish u had died in a crash. not because of pain, but because in the united states, even with great insurance, not being independently wealthy means all it takes is the inability to work to put you in the poor house and your family in the poor house for generations. the tundra in a front overlap crash test pretty much showed that a human will have their legs crushed, which means surgery and years of physical therapy to get even close to how your body was pre accident. if thats a gamble you're willing to take more power to you but just know my 06 grand marquis has a significantly higher rating than that in the same test which is pretty sad given the stellar crash ratings the rest of the toyota lineup has.
@@dr._breens_beard Sheesh Dr, You took things to a different level. Well, when you put things that way it does make me thing. But I have my faith in the Lord. Still, I plan to get my family an outback or forestar. I'll have to stay with the Tundra.
In have the 2020 Tundra Pro Army Green. It is awesome truck and I am very happy with it. I put 10k of mods into the truck and made it my own. I plan on keeping it for a very long time. The new 2022 tundra will no longer have the V8 motor available and switching over to the twin turbo V6. NO THANKS!! I’ll stick to my V8
The fact that after everything Andre said, and all the trucks he gets to drive, he'd still pick the Tundra speaks volumes.
Money money money
I would pick the tundra too
14yr old platform still competing at a high level. Awesome truck!
Freaking love my tundra
tells me he dont know much actually....would never pay 55k for a truck thats hasnt changed since 2007 and use a key to lock tailgate. and its amazing they cut on Silverado interior....but happy with the Atari 2600 look of the Tundra? democratic to say the least
When is Toyota coming out with a TFL Pro?
It’s in the works. Maybe 2022
I think they still lock the tailgate with a key....and the truck hasent changed since what 2007
You said you loved everything about the Ram yet you picked the old Yota, what a joke! You never fail.
Rams live in the junkyard and shop
I love my Tundra 4x4
Same, with 35s and a 4.5 inch lift she sips gas like a drunken cowboy but she ain't gonna leave me stranded
Thanks for the great comparison Andre!! I just bought a new 2021 Tundra TRD a couple of weeks ago. A lot of your reasons is why I purchased it over the rest.
I’m not surprised. The Tundra has been an amazing truck for me. Never had any problems with one. Reliable, comfortable & the when you need the power, it’s there. Not a knock on any other manufacturers, but I’d never buy any other brand.
The price range on a new truck is ridiculous on all brands. I found that the best way to go when buying a used truck is to avoid buying one at a dealer. Where I live, we have one of those truck ‘mega dealers’ that absolutely gouge the customers with over inflated prices. Their lots are always full, mostly selling used Dodge, Ford, & Chevy. It’s not often you’ll find a Toyota on the lot, (probably because they last forever), which says something about their longevity, IMO. Before buying from a dealer I’d suggest hunting down a used truck online or wherever, you’ll save thousands of dollars & you won’t have to deal with an insane markup or crooked dealers looking to jack your wallet. There’s not a lot of honesty at those ‘mega dealer’ places.
Toyota, simply the BEST!
Not really, worst MPG and the truck is really outdated
@@RidingNomad, only poor folks can't afford the petrol. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Buy a Prius, poor boy.
@@youarerightboss poor🤣 every car in my house has a V8 dummy plus gas is cheap here in Texas, you missed the point tho, the truck is very outdated but farm boy like you wouldn't understand
@@RidingNomad tundra is #1 in reliability and number #1 in resale value. Again if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Tundra TRD Pro all the way.
Same
Ram is better
@Jonathan Losito yes sir. I have ram rebel
This is the exact video that pushed me over the edge and helped me buy the TRD pro. Nearly two years later and no regrets.
People keep saying that there are reliability problems with Ram? I have a 2019 bighorn 4x4 and have 29000 miles with not 1 issue and never been back to dealer for anything. I live in northeast Ohio and drive in heavy snow and salt and I tow trailers and haul motors and lifts in the bed. Again have never had any issues so far. Great review as usual Andre!
Really? A 2019 with no problems.... wow. Consumer Reports doesn't lie.
Because most people that jump on the ram reliability bandwagon have never even owned one and it just seems like the common thing to talk about, -owned a 2016 ram great solid truck for the 60k miles I owned it. Currently own a 2019 tundra and it's way overhyped for what it is
@@ncurc9766 I've owned one, never would again. Saying you got a great 60k from your Ram isn't say much of any brand. Regardless of any anecdotal posts here, again, you can disagree but can't argue Consumer Reports. Dodge has a poor track record for reliability while Toyota's is at the top. Buy whatever you want and hope for the best case scenario.
U should have problems with anything with 30k on it anyway
Because 29k are so many miles.... Put 100k on it and come back and talk. 🙄
Nice comparison, didn't expect your choice.
Great video, Andre, wish I could give an extra 👍 for the Bilstein correction. 😁
GM used to have cool looking 4wd shifters in the 80”s and 90’s. I remember admiring as a kid the little truck diagram that would light up the front wheels when shifted to 4wd.
Add a 10 speed to the Tundra and Atkinson cycle to the 5.7 and you will have a efficient Tundra. To bad there going 3.5 twin turbo for 2022.. ( rumor)
lul the brz crowds like yes....that one can fit.
I LOVE TFL!!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!!
D absolutely most important features of a truck are reliability, durability and resale value

I aint selling a truck if i get one, ill be testing that long term reliability 😂
@@zakattack467 Toyota’s actually aren’t more reliable. It’s just something soyboys say to justify buying a japanese truck

Exactly. They need to justify spending a large amount of money for an old design truck

The 10 speed autos have been having problems lately.
The lawsuit transmission.
I have the same transmission in my 2018 F150. 36k miles, 35% towing through the Rockies. Not a ton of miles still, but it has been an amazing transmission.
Same tranny in my 2019 F150 which has 112k miles already and it’s been great!
I like the new Andre engine cover slap test. Thought that Toyota engine cover was going to break 🤔🤣
easy now the fan boys will be doing somersaults
It usually doesn’t need a slap to break it, they do it all on there own
Toyota Tundra is best PERIOD. It’s more reliable and will be running strong when the Chevy and dodge is in the junk yard.
@@royklein5481 That’s good. I’m still driving my old Toyota that has 445,000 miles that I bought brand new. Original engine and all and it’s gave no problems unlike some of the Chevy and Fords I’ve owned. I drive my old Toyota everywhere.

I’ve had all four brands of full size trucks, I’m a mechanical technician for high vacuum sputtering systems and more recently missile systems with only a year of experience as an automotive mechanic in college, out of the truck the most relaible and best performing truck was my Ram with the 5.7 hemi, it lasted me 657k miles before the head gasket went out. It was very easy and inexpensive to fix because of the pushrod design . This would be an absolute nightmare to do is my sequoia because of the absolutely unnecessary overhead cam layout with a dumb number of valves. Toyota obviously doesn’t care about their trucks because they haven’t been updated in over a decade and have less gears than all other brand by up to 4 speeds. They get far worse gas milage, they haul less, they tow less and no they’re not any more reliable. All of the trucks mentioned are great trucks and it would be silly to hate on anyone of them but the Toyota is just so ancient in design and has the worst performance in every aspect compared to its competitors. If you can name one single reason why the Toyota is superior to the others then please let me know but it would obviously be a pretty unimportant item due to the fact that I already mentioned the most important items and the Toyota loses by a mile In all of those ways, the rest of the brands also offer eco diesel options, turbo options and also hybrid electric options. I get it though, most people don’t know much about trucks and they want to get the Toyota because they’ve always heard that toyotas are reliable and they are afraid to be let down by their truck. If you have knowledge from experience and research it’s very obvious that no one would ever choose the Toyota.
@ufoguyspaceman you’re a lucky guy! Congrats on your purchase, did you happen to get the large touchscreen display?? I’ve been drooling over the new generation for some time but have had a hard time pulling the trigger and spending the money. I will eventually just not yet but I’d love to hear about it.
@@kylekdk456 pretty obvious the Toyota loses. The sales number says it all. Ancient interior, one engine option, low payload, bad MPG
Ram best interrior.. Chevy best exterrior.. Toyota best truck
Chevys are ugly af lmao.....
@Muskoka Roads what's wrong with his opinion?
@Muskoka Roads bud I’ve forgotten more than you have ever known lol
Not a RAM fan by any means, but dang that is one beautiful truck! I think the Chevy will look 10 times better with the interior update.
And I think the Toyota will last well beyond its warranty...the others have to look good because they don’t last
@@robertpowers1045 And they still have serious issues with frame rot....reliability yeah okay. If you got time to fight Toyota and have your vehicle in a shop...
A 16k payload on a half ton truck? I think that Andre meant 1600 pounds, not 16000 payload.
Everyone say that tundra prices too high, but their top of the line TRD PRO runs $49,000-$56,000 depending on dealerships. As for Chevy, Dodge, Ford, and GMC top of the line runs $60,000+. Tundra is plain? True, but less stuff that could go wrong, keep all that fancy gadget I rather have a dependable truck any day. 3 things I look for in a truck and what a truck should have; 1) durability, 2) 4X4, and 3) to hold there resale.
4 engine choices in the Chevy 3.0L Duramax is an option
Thought Andre's love affair with the Ram was going to win the day. Thanks for not being predictable. 😉
I'm a Chevy man,,they have always been good to me!!!Oh yes" I still pronounce it bIL-STEEN"!!! LOL
Chevy = China.
The longer beds are Standard beds. Between 6'6" and 6'8". Ling beds are 8' long.
You never mentioned the Tundra's real world mpg. I thought I saw a TFL video where you guys got 18mpg. That's better than the Ram and without that electric motor gimmick attached to the serpentine belt drive.
if they got 18mpg, they had to drive it only downhill. I had one 07-11 at best I was getting 13mpg
The tieyota gets the best mpg when getting towed with a wrecker, which is quite often
I'll take the tundra, nice review André, saludos from 🇲🇽...
Great choice!. The Tundra might be 14 years old but, it still performs and look cool doing it let alone doing what a half ton truck should do!

When did 32" tires become small?
Those trucks are huge. Stock wrangler rubicon tires are 33s.
For half tons, over 10 years ago
Good comparison. I agree the tires on the Tundra don't look beefy but I have the Michelin LTX on my Tundra and I'm quite impressed with the traction, even in mud.
JUST PUT THE 285/70/18 NITTO R. G. ON MY 2020 PRO . TRUCK IS WAY MORE STABLE .
Ram tradesman, then build it up 👍👍
Save a ton a money, I did! My 99 ram lasted till now. My new 18 Ram 1500 tradesman is built up more than the stock rebel. Into it under 38$k total.
Eibach springs
Bilstein shocks
Toyo rt 35s
Skids
Rock sliders
Front locker
& Much more...
Nice! You should make a video and send it in to TFL! We would love to check out your truck!
Yah send an off road vid!
Let's see a video!
Interior is nowhere near the level of the upper trims. Not including the tech in the rebel
@@jmart5302
Lol, purposely tried avoiding as much tech as possible... Just me I guess, less to break.
But yes the rebel definitely is for many, I like it 👍👍
It’s all good Andre! I remember when you only spoke Russian!
Rebel is my dream truck, really love the interior and ride quality. But price for new and used are just ridiculous recently. Went with a Nissan Titan Pro-4x finally.
What year and hows it holding? I love those nissans v8
@@cesarurzua8234 It's an used 2018 Titan pro4x, around 18,000 miles when I bought it. Now it has taken me through 6 states and over 7000 miles within the past 3 month with only 1 regular service(oil change, tire rotation, etc) at 24,000 miles. All my trips had some off road challenges, including Imogene pass in Colorado, Fins& things in Moab, and some moderate to hard route in California SVRAs. 2000 out of those 7000miles I towed a travel trailer around 5,300 lbs. Not a single issue at all. Happy with my truck, love the 360 camera when off roading.
No surprise. We already know Tundra is better than the other two.
Better for sucking gas
Tundra
I wish I could pick the best vehicle without driving it! Heavens to Mergatroid, without a test, none of them actually win
Nah. I'll still take my Ram. I've taken mine places that a TRD Pro just wouldn't go. Power feels better. Fuel economy is better. All around ride quality and interior comfort is better. And the TRD Pro is expensive compared. It's a decent truck. Much better than the Trail Boss.
Edit: My Ram has the max towing package, and the 33 gallon tank. My range is around 610 miles per tank with the 5.7 Hemi.
As an ex Silverado owner 5 in a row. We went to Ram . Not going back to GM
@@gwood701 what made you switch?
Naw I'll take that tundra , I had 2 rams and loved them but had issue after issue, my 2019 Trd pro's engine is no slouch
Wow all this and you guys didn’t take em off road ?
Andre picked the most American truck !!!👍👍
The Tundra's exterior looks better over time
It's interior looks worse over time
The upgraded suspension makes a huge difference
And it is less expensive than the competition
Personal preference as I like the simplicity of the tundras interior and functionality. Yes its super basic but everything is easily accessible and I dont care for a 12 inch touch screen but man the ram has a great looking interior. Let's see what both chevy and Toyota do for the refreshed interiors.
Tundra would be perfect if it had an option for a panoramic sunroof, lockers, more storage options (under seat), easier step or multifunction tailgate, led tail light, better payload, better mpg, and revised design. Wow thats actually a lot, I originally just came up with 2 then I started really thinking about it. A lot of that can be done aftermarket so its not too bad. But the truck is just old, yea the style still looks great but I own a 2016, do I really need to upgrade to basically the same truck?
If you factor in rebates, the Toyota really isn't any cheaper.
@@Ryan-ue9ve I would say dont sell your 16. Its the same truck as this. Litterally not worth it. Wait for the 2022 model to come out and see how the new refreshed tundra is. Yes its lacking in alot but the are great reliable trucks.
@@justice4053 there's plenty of dealers in different states that sell the tundra for a great discount. One deal in specific in San Marcos toyota. They have great rebates on their trucks. Just have to shop around for the best deals on any truck. Yes people have opinions but I say shop around and buy the best truck the suits your needs. Not saying tundra is the only choice. It all comes down to personal preference and what you can afford
Just brought a Trundra TDR off road for the money the best options! Bilstin shocks 18 inch wheels Michelin LTX A/T 2 great riding trip to Florida 2021 cement double cab! $46,000 can’t beat forward collision works stops fast! Radar cruise control works great in stop n go traffic! She’s a beauty
Only one truck will go 300k+ miles without issues and that’s the tundra
The Silverado is no doubt the best looking and I think the interior is great for a truck And I've had GM my whole life they have been nothing but reliable but my only concern that roofline doesn't look right I think it would look a lot better with the 2000 Silverado roofline and performance is great as well
Andre, These comparisons are always welcome no matter the outcome. Can we compare the total repair bills for the three trucks at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years?
Toyota will win!!
They will never reach 20 yrs
@@markosieko6657 The toyota will
Nobody can afford that. Just guess.
Oh boy Toyota fanboy 101 right here. Sorry boys I feel like new ones are not up to standard of 90s Toyota. “But but it’s reliable !!! See it in xx years !!!!” Yawn, boring
The red tow hooks sold it for me!
Chevy has issues with afm, direct injection and I’ve heard the 10 speed is having issues
The new truck have DFM, not AFM.
Nope, my AT4 is running so good. It has the 5.3 with 10 speed.
2020 trail boss 6.2 7k miles runs perfectly
I think they did have a bad batch of trucks a friend of mine had a new trail boss and it had a ton of problems and they gave him a new one and it works fine now. Ford has a little more issues with their 10 speeds then Chevy though
@@kylelehde3314 which year chevy do you have?
I drove my Ram Rebel 2019 from Jersey to Upstate NY and the highest mpg I got was 16 mpg. The full tank lasts me 350 miles and costs me $70. That’s for $3.25 per gallon. I bought my pick up for work.
There’s a reason why Toyota hasn’t changed the engine or transmission they last forever and they are very reliable not like a ram where it Breaks down ina couple years the 5.3 chevy engine is great and last a good amount of time but I never seen a Chevy very off road truck more like a street truck
look another Toyota fanbot using Hyperbolic language.
@@paulj9821 look another no life
@@adrianvalenzuela1714 Oh poor snowflake got triggered.
I was going to buy a Tundra. But I chose the Ram Rebel instead. I love the exterior and interior of my Ram. It’s fun to drive, rough on the road since it’s an off road truck, aggressive tires, safe to drive in the snow , hard rain and flood. I bought it brand new and my only complaint that it had electrical issues after driving it 15k miles. I couldn’t start it. But it was covered under warranty so the dealer fixed it in less than a week. Now it has over 22k and drives good (Knock on wood). Don’t get me wrong. Toyota is reliable. I owned a Prius, then RAV4 and finally Highlander. But Toyota’s driver’s seat is stiff. The interior is outdated compared to Ram. You want something good to look at when you drive.
Why didn’t you do the back seat comparison in the Chevy and Dodge ?
Because those are going to be comfortable. Basically double the space of the tundra
@@alvarovillegas2407 actually it's about only 9 more inches of legroom. Some prefer a smaller cab and longer bed to still keep the same wheelbase as the full cab short bed trucks. Makes more sense for those that need more trunk space than interior space. Comes down to personal preferences but you can still fit a 6ft tall adult in the double cab tundra on a decently long road trip and be comfortable. If you need more passenger comfort and less cargo space then the bigger cab is better for you.
I don't think it is fair to compare a DC. It should have been CM for back seat comparison.
He was probably just showing the space in the only double cab truck.
Omg...I had no idea I had extra storage space above my glove box in my Ram Bighorn!!! Cool! And thank you for showing that!!!!
Everyone complains about the chevy interior, but no one mentions that cheap dated plastic in the Toyota.
I think they stole the shifter from the corolla.
People always mention it but Toyota is already known for using cheaper interiors. The others tend to use fancier interiors so going back in the truck is shocking
had them all except for the nissan titan ....and have to say bought a tundra a few years ago and 130,000 miles on it now and would never go back to anything else...the most reliable truck out there....period!......just old school tough!
Trail boss sounds underwhelming. Nothing great or fancy about it.
Rebel interior looks nice. I can’t do the dial shifter though.
TRD Pro is just the best. Gas mileage not great and the interior is outdated a bit, but it has everything you need. Exterior wise prob the best looking which is saying something considering it hasn’t changed since 2014.
16k of payload really is amazing!!
The dial shifter is better then you think it is.
Tundra is the only 1/2 ton pickup that doesn't offer an aux. transmission cooler = LAME.
Its ugly and has no lockers and fuel economy makes it not worth it on its own
I just recently bought a truck I test drove a Ford F-150 lariat, a ram 1500 sport package, a Chevy trail boss, and a Toyota Tundra. The tundra was the only used vehicle. Long story short the f150 road the worse and the ram road the best. All trucks had leather and big v8s the. Chevy by far in my opinion was the worst truck I test drove. I ended up getting the tundra. I ended with the tundra because it’s reliability, depreciation, ride quality, interior quality,interior durability, and room. My truck is a 17 limited crewmax and my lord the room inside is insane. The only downside is gas mileage, but I only live 2 miles from work so a full tank of gas last me about a month.
Toyota Tundra, old but gold.
I saw your Trailboss on I70 the other day. Looks great!
This may be off topic however everyone speaks of one manufacturer or another being late to the game in regards to technology, interior, or engine choices etc.and needing to play catch up. I'm a Ford owner and like it very much but it just dawned on me this morning there's a large market share here they're losing. As of now you can get a very modest FX4 package or make the decision to go all the way up to a raptor (from Ford dealers). If they want to keep their sales numbers I think it'd be wise if they joined this game. Any thoughts?
The way the buttons and knobs move in the trailboss look cheap af.
My buddy has one, they are.
The best value is the Trailboss. 18-19 mpg and reliability is really good overall. Also, I got 10k off MSRP. So it’s cheaper than the other two Trucks. Toyota being most expensive with NO incentives. I’d probably go old school and pick the TRD Pro tank IF I could get that same 10k off MSRP but that will never happen. Ram has best interior but that will never change my mind on Chrysler and their reputation on lack of reliability. When I’m old I will buy a used Tundra and that will be my last truck for now my midlife requires the Trailboss.
How’s the Trail Boss treating you now? What engine do you have? Been hearing tons of horror stories about blown motors at less then 30k miles on the 6.2 and 5.3 and a class action lawsuit filed due to the DFM system causing lifters to fail which is absolutely disgusting and should’ve been long addressed by now but still silence on GMs end so far. I love the look of the Chevys but can’t risk buying one with that possibility...bring back the pure V8s across the board. Stop all this nonsense to try to save a few mpg...we don’t buy trucks for fuel mileage, we’re well aware they don’t do well and I don’t expect any more then 15mpg. If you want to mess with the midsize trucks for that since people tend to buy them for SUV replacements that may occasionally use the bed or tow a light trailer to pick up mulch at Home Depot I’d go that route. But the vast majority of people buying “full size” trucks don’t want turbo 4 cylinders that will inevitably have turbo issues down the road vs a V8, or an underpowered V6 as “standard” you have to beat the piss out of to get the thing moving. At the very least just make these stupid fuel management systems have a switch so we can turn them off from the factory. I’ll be going Ram since I had a 2011 with no major issues and their system was just annoying but never gave me any trouble in the 120k miles I had it...just put it in manual mode and it wouldn’t shut any cylinders down. Well that turned into a rant😅 hope you got a good Chevy brother they’re veeeery nice on the outside!
@@MrSbionage No problems at all been an amazing truck so far. Mine was built in America and been flawless. I also have seen many issues with this drm lifter stuff and since I am coming up on the point where factory warranty is about to expire soon I am looking hard at switching to 2022 Tundra possibly soon. I know they are ttv6 but it is Toyota and they make great products that last a long while. Rams 10 year cost to own is the highest among all trucks for some reason so even though they are beautiful inside and out I would probably buy an F150 with 5.0 v8 or just risk another Chevy and go with the big boy 6.2. All trucks have potential for issues and if you want something modern and updated you’ll have to take the risks with anything. Only way you’ll more than likely have a hell of a reliable truck is to buy a Tundra before 22 model year with the 5.7 V8 but it’s old school and I need to have a the modern tech and features as well as better ride quality and handling. I still may keep the Trailboss as I absolutely love it and honestly even if I have to send it to the shop for a few months and spend money to fix it still may be cheaper than trying to buy a new truck in todays market. Good luck with your truck shopping hope this helped. Thanks.
Not a fan of parked trucks and talking about them format. Let's see them in action.
I don’t get how you pick the Toyota. Terrible interior on an outdated platform, worst mpg, worst payload, middle of the ground towing, least powerful motor, 6 speed tranny. To each their own I suppose, it was awesome like 6 years ago but not anymore for over 50 grand
No love for the refreshed Titan Pro4X? Mine has been great so far!!!
