Thanks for watching. You can also watch the first time we tried to take the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro up Gold Mine Hill in the deep snow here: ruclips.net/video/r0gDuiTNbrM/видео.html
This is the best video I’ve watched you guys publish leaving biases out.
Good job guys.
I own a 2018 Tundra Limited 4x4 with the Premium Package, albeit there are things it has my 2015 F150 didn’t and visa-versa.
However I wanted a truck with some luxury but at the same time I don’t need a Lincoln or a Cadillac.
For the equipment, quality, and time tested/proven design versus pricing of others the Tundra is a great vehicle for the truck seeker and not the gadget lovers.
Thanks again for a great review.
Help me out...I have the Tundra with the 38 gallon tank but will only take 30 gallons when empty. What’s the actual capacity of the tank?
Wes Williamson I’ve let mine down to 1/8th of a tank after a 477 mike ride Tallahassee to Miami and it took 35 gallons.
You might have a sending unit (tank float) or gage that’s inaccurate.
The Fast Lane Truck where is gold mine hill? I’d like to give my truck a shot at it. I own a 2005 f150 fx4 with a 5.4 v8 triton

I searched and searched when I bought my last truck, and I landed on a Tundra TRD. It's the only "real truck" on the market these days. No cylinder deactivation crap, no crazy bells and whistles, and no 18spd transmission!!!! I love it!!!!
Newer ones have an 8 speed like the rest of the market.
Nope. 6 speed
@@christopherking2012 My dad's 2020 Limited has a 6 speed. Tacoma and Tundra are the only trucks still on the market with 6 speeds. Even the new trans in the Frontier is over 6 speeds.
The 1794, from what I hear, is supposed to be the year the ranch opened that the Toyota plant in San Antonio is built on.
Matt Hillman correct!
That’s awesome ! I always wondered what that meant! Lol
I’m kind of pissed I purchased my 2018 tundra 4x4 sr5 for 43k with taxes and fees 47k I wish I would have gotten this interior so much nicer then the cloth!
Only thing this truck needs is the option for a larger bed with the crew cab. Lots of people need the crew cab with the bigger bed.
Owner of a 2017 TRD Off Road Tundra. I will gladly feed that thirsty 5.7 over the fuel savings garbage that breaks. Had a 2013 GMC Sierra that had that AFM crap. 16K went in to have those special lifters replaced. All the little things on that truck to. Doors and interior that rattled. The Tundra is much more solidly built. No rattles. No creaks
Had a 2006 Toyota Sienna 336000 and not a single squeak in 8 years of ownership. I changed brakes, sparks, water pump etc the basic wear items but outside of that bulletproof.
Same with my 2009 Lexus currently at 250k miles just changed basic wear items. Going doesn't he same path as the Sienna and predict it'll do 400k+ miles. Not a squeak either. Solid it a good word for it.
I have a 2011 Sierra and I can't stand the afm among other things, I can't wait to get a tundra one day hopefully the 1794
@@919hey Just get a range AFM disabler, $200 bucks and you have a completely different truck. Basically a tuner you put in the OBDII port that keeps it as a V8 full time. It feels stronger driving, gets rid of the jolts and shaking from switching between 8 and 4 cylinders, and I think the trans shifts smoother too now lol. I have ran it on all my Chevy trucks (2010 Tahoe 5.3, 2012 Silverado 5.3, and 2013 Silverado 5.3). I have used the same one for many years between my trucks.
The tundra drinks fuel, but I'd rather burn a little extra gas money a week than be stuck in the service center more times then necessary. They're proven and as long as they're making me money, a little extra fuel is small change.
They burn gas way too much tbh
Tacoma is about the same as a f150.
@@Who-Uhm-Cares
True. Tke my very first car a 1988 Toyota Tercel. For 10 years I went out there and it started on the first try. Boring right? Never had a repair but all my friends bad ass BMW's, Ford trucks etc kept breaking down. Some bosses got tired of hearing about their break downs. I kept that job and can thank the car for it. My first experience with Toyota. Point is give me reliability and I'll gladly pay for gas in exchange.
Be nice to have both! ☺️
I still have my 1st Tundra. A 2000k TRD 4x4 w/360k miles. Been beat up, but still churning out miles.
So glad you gave it another go. Love the tundra. Thanks boys!
I have a 2015 Tundra Platinum, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. After owning 2 F150 in the past, I could never go back to Ford. Toyota may be a little behind compared to the competition, but I did not buy this truck for its technology, I bought it for its reliability and dependability on the road and that’s where Ford fell short. I travel for work and do a lot of off-roading and this truck has not let me down. Yes gas mileage sucks, and yes I only have the 22 gallon tank, but hey, if I wanted good gas mileage I would have bought a Prius.
WQQKIE Same, we made the switch after 5 Ford's, won't go back.
WQQKIE What are the top 3 most reliable trucks 1. Tundra 2.???? 3.????
@@callen7436 2. Honda Ridgeline 3. Nissan Titan
@@seinundzeiten Thanks... Well, the Ridgeline is too small, unfortunately, even for a family vehicle. (Have a Camry & Ram 1500 QC). So, it between Tundra or Titan & I have seen on Facebook a Titan Lemon Group. The only bad I hear about Tundras are bad Mpg, technology, & ride (on-road). Never do I hear anything about the truck being low quality build & unreliable, which is the basis of any truck imo.
The oldest most out of date truck... still the one I would buy.
1794 is my favorite Toyota, 38 gallon tank is amazing!
my gen2 raptor has all the bells and whistle, but its currently back in the dealership and it needs a new engine. After 37k kms,4 full synthetic oil changes done by the delership, the camshaft is done.
Thanks for the honesty
Kotevee K a camshaft took out the entire engine? Not just one of the heads? What was the reasoning?
Like he said, thanks for the honesty. I owned nothing but F-150 before I switched to the Tundra and I couldn’t be happier. Yes I loved my King Ranch but it wasn’t worth spending the amounts of money I spent doing repairs every year.
From what I understand, all the parts that they have taken off to access the damaged part of the engine needs to replaced with brand new parts.So they recomend that a new engine has to be mounted. Crazy part is, if they install a new engine the warranty for the engine won`t start at all over, but instead they will resume the warranty at 37k kms. It`s not going well with Ford and the dealership right now.
An awesome 1/2 ton truck! Best turning radius, best wheel travel, best build quality and longevity, best V8 and bullet proof trans, heavy duty tow package standard (oil/trans cooler, 4:30 gears, HD alternator), best brakes (check out the TFL towing test between tundra and Ford), 10 1/2" ring gear in rear and i think an 8" front, best under body design for off road (tucked up front diff and transfer case, tucked up rear shock mounts located near wheels, longer shock travel, divided and tucked up drive shaft, HD wheel bearings) and no you don't need a locker. With a truck this size wheel base and wheel travel, rarely will you have more than one tire off the ground and any one time and with Toyota's ATRAC it acts like ft/rear locker but with better steering than a locker. There are good after market lockers available but I know very few who feel they need it.
Thanks for giving the Tundra a second chance on goldmine! If I lived closer I would let you guys use my Tundra TRD Pro to go up Cliffhanger 2.0. Can’t wait to see that review next! Would love to see a comparison of the Ram Rebel, Nissan Titan Pro-4x, Tundra TRD Pro, Ford Raptor, and the Power Wagon!
Joshua Eaton I agree man
if they put more gears and a different gear ratio you could probably compete with mpg but they all come with the 4:.30 rear end which i love
I owned a 1988 Toyota pickup from day one until 2016 it ran perfectly the engine and trans etc. The only thing I can knock it for was body rust. I sold it and bought this new Tundra Crew Max 17' I love it SR5 TRD 4x4 will always stick to this brand. Not to mention I've been in the car business for 20yrs as Toyota's competition. The only I can say is "If it's not broken don't fix it!"
Nice!
You're correct, choice of tires can make all the difference though, can't it?
I went to our local auto show this weekend and you are right. 54k is pretty good by today’s crazy price standards. Most trucks were 60k+!
The only thing that Tundra needs is that locking diff. The Tundra is the Frontier of the full size segment, old (relative to it's competition) but honest.
why is everyone hung up on a locking diff? I had one on my last truck which I took offroad 5 or 6 times a year and never used it once.
Locking in the diff often saves trail damage. Instead of sit, spin, and rut out a trail, punch the locker and cruise right through. It's not necessarily just for hardcore rock crawling.
Guys I would love to see a segment for the 1/2 truck market regarding longevity and cost of ownership. I know it’s hard to do without actually owning each for a long time but that’s why I love toyota. My 2017 tundra is an old design but it works, and will continue to work for years to come
This video was loaded 10 minutes before class..,... thanks to you guys I was late to my test hahahahahaha
What got me was the resale value and the reliability. A lot of people who own them love them.
My wife loves ford I love Chevy We bought our first tundra and could not be happier
No argument that the Tundra is the old man of the group and yet, the Tundra is still a very good truck. It is a testament to how good it was back in 2007! Also, if you are buying a truck for work and plan to keep it for a long time and a lot of miles, this may still be the best choice.
David Hillbrand
Yes it is the old man. But the old man knows some stuff when it counts. I want to know I'm getting where I need to go and can haul what I need to haul. Rams and Ford I owned previously were constant problems and in/out of the shop. 90,000 miles or so on them and they start going to shit. That is poor quality. I will stick with the Toyota and Nissan Trucks
I had a tundra I bought used after a owning a T100. I traded the tundra in after 6 months for a Corolla. A brand new Corolla is 250.00 a month cheaper to own. I bought a old used dodge diesel to use when I need it. I can't beat the crap out of the old truck and use the car for a daily driver. The tundra is a great truck, and a thirsty one at that.
My dad bought a 2018, 1794 edition tundra last week. It’s such a nice truck
Great review, those tires did better than I thought they would.
They're pretty decent tires for light off road usage. My problem was I went through two sets in under three years because the Michelin compound is so soft the tires get absolutely torn apart off road. But they are fantastic on the road. I had to switch to Toyo AT 2's because of how much off roading I do, it was more economical and even better traction off the road.
My 2014 tundra platinum is a beast. I hauled a 1977 suburban 4x4 with a 454 big block & the inside full of parts 300 miles without a single problem.
Thank you for showing some Tundra love and giving it a better chance for taking on Gold Mine Hill. I cant wait to see how it takes on Cliffhanger 2.0!
nothing beats tundra,I miss my black platinum tundra a lot people are fascinated to see such big truck.A person in our country imported a brabus 6x6 for 25 billion Pakistani rupees it’s a beast and also a Ford F-150 Shelby 750hp.
Best Half Ton Built Hands Down, Ive owned Chevy GMC Ford n Dodge. Tundra Is My Personal Choice Out of Them All and after Driving it I converted My Dad n Brother who’ve Owned Chevys All There Lives.
Has anyone else noticed how much the new ram totally stole it’s looks from the Toyota Tundra?
Yup
100%
I read the comments below, and y'all boys are right on. Locking differential, etc. To me the main thing Toyota needs to do is address the mpg somehow. Seems the best was would be 8-10 speed transmission, then they could make 3:55 - 4:30 differential ratios maybe.
I have a 2008 4.7 Tundra.. 370k miles everything is original.. set for the tires and the alternator which i change last summer.. you can keep ur ford.. I ride pass them all the time on the side of the rode 👊🏽
No rear locker on an offroad model in 2018. What improving product???
Bullion Forever the type of off-roading that a typical owner will do probably doesn’t necessitate a locker. This isn’t a Raptor, ZR2 or even a TRD Pro.
The TRD Pro doesn't even have a locker... The Tacoma Off-Road does. Love my 2017 TRD Sport Tacoma but sometimes I wish I had the Off Road model with crawl control and the locker. I just needed the crew cab long box which isn't available in OR in Canada.
@jldude84- Parking lots
"It also sounds magnificent."
*Truck drives by with terrible music playing instead of hearing truck*
I have a 2017 with the TRD package, TRD Exhaust & 38 Gallon Tank. This is my second Tundra - I traded in my 2011 with 91,000 miles, and I'll never buy another truck. As a big guy this also has loads more hip, shoulder and head room than the Big 3. I feel shoe-horned into my brother's Dodge Ram by comparison...
Lol at all these "needs a locker" comments when it walked up gold mine with some snow without any issue and thats more off roading than 99% of all tundra owners will EVER do. I love my 16 TRD Tundra. Never have I been stuck up here in the upper midwest.
There are many hardcore off-road experts in the comment section today.
Yes, the off-road trail leading from the keyboard in their parent's basement to the kitchen refrigerator is pretty serious, bro. They know their shiiiiit.
Carlos compared to ..... You sitting on the can taking a dump replying on your cell phone?
That's where I learned you can go up this hill backwards in a Prius
Roman changed his mind on that exhaust in the TRD PRO ike gauntlet run! 😂😂😂
Love the Tundra despite its thirst for fuel. However unlike the big 3 Toyota dealerships are much less willing to knock that $10k off the MSRP. I think when you compare real world prices the big three are just as much a value as the Tundra. Plus the Tundra doesn’t lease very well because the dealers can’t knock that $10K off the MSRP. I did enjoy the video. Thanks for making it.
John Huff Those 10k you save when buying from the competition will be spent later on doing repairs. I used to own fords, and yeah I thought getting a hell of a discount when buying them was great, until I would spend it all back at the dealership doing repairs not to mention time loss and inconvenience.
WQQKIE I am with you on the Toyota durability. I also think that the Toyota is a good overall value. The point I was making is that offerings from the big 3s are artificially priced higher knowing that they will deeply discount. This is why you can lease a $51k F150 for around $500/mo while a comparable $45k Tundra will run $650/mo to lease. A lease is based on the MSRP vs residual all the discounts come right off the top. I have owned both RAM and Ford trucks with good reliability on both. I have owned Toyota cars and SUVs with amazing reliability. My daughter is still driving my 05 Prius with 300k mi. I may give the Tundra a try when my lease is up but the math has to add up.
It's not a mechanical limited slip differential. It's their ATRAC system which is a slip sensing/braking system. It's no Z71. Nathan you know this fact.
Gordon Willoughby sorry the Tundra is above the Chebby. Ford and Ram Rain supreme
I only mention the Z71 as it's G80 differential is a true limited slip. Something similar in conjunction with ATRAC would work wonderfully. You'd think on a $50K+ vehicle that'd be an option.
Isn't the G80 an auto-locker rather than limited slip?
Thomas Maresh Nope. It's a Positraction differential. My father have it in he's 2002 yukon and it's very useful.
Maybe it's not a G80 then?
www.autoevolution.com/news/a-simple-guide-to-the-g80-locking-differential-94874.html
The brake controller has been nothing but trouble when I tow my 6k lb travel trailer. I had to replace it with an aftermarket prodigy unit to get any reliable braking even after two visits to Toyota for testing and reprogramming.
The best thing about the Tundra is it's still built to be a truck. Ford and Chevy both have that plastic shit on the front bumper that's meant for aerodynamics or something, but all it really does is kill the front clearance. This Tundra model might be old, but it still looks good and looks like a beast.
I would like to have seen more talk about the A-TRAC traction control. It get's a bad rep from a lot of people who don't fully understand it. We take our Tundra places most Jeeps avoid (John Bull, Moab, Box Canyon in AZ), and we're still technically open/open. When used properly, the A-TRAC almost replaces the need for a rear locker. Unfortunately Toyota doesn't do a great job of describing how to use it.
kkavanagh tundras don’t have atrac
They do, but it's not something that is turned on by the push of a button as it is on Tacomas, 4Runners and FJs. It's on by default when you turn the truck on. It's also not as smooth of an engagement on the other models. It doesn't kick in until about 1500 rpm. Here's a video: ruclips.net/video/U1MOEZYAv5Q/видео.html
There isn't a limited slip in the tundra. Its the traction control system applying the brakes to the spinning wheel in hopes of getting some of that power to transfer to the other wheel.
I'm honestly new to Toyota, I just bought a tundra last week. So nothing is out dated to me bcuz I don't know what the Tundra had before or what's new. But overall I'm happy so far with my Tundra!
Those TRD exhaust ain't gonna help that Tundra go up those hills ahaha.
The hardest part about offroading in the Tundra is the all the electronic controls. There's one button with different modes depending on whether you're in 2wd, 4lo or 4hi. There's no indication of whats on and off just weird icons. I would like clear individual switches with on/off indicators for EACH control. Not press once, stop the car, hold 3 times, repeat...
Oh, and the 1794 is the ugliest of all the models.
Nice you found a new one that hasn't rusted out yet
You should have used the GOPro mount for your filming.
Best truck in the world 👍
The old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I like the "simplicity" of the Tundra.
I don't know if you heard or know, but Toyota is officially remaking the Tundra. New body, new interior, few new engine options.
If Toyota could incorporate some of the Land cruiser technological off road electronics into a Tundra it would be game over for everyone. Trickle down tech at it's finest.
Just wait till Toyota comes out with their 3/4- 1 Ton trucks!
I really want one of these with the transfer case out of the sequoia or full time 4wd, rear locker, the KDSS system and the air leveling off the Lexus.
Another great video chaps. :)
This truck hasn't been redesigned since 2007; that's over a decade. Still drives like a boat, still gets horrible mpg, still can't get out of its own way, but still a great truck. I had a 2010 until I sold it in 2016. Put a lot of great miles on it and still miss it!
I have been getting a combined of 14.8. Done 47k miles till date. If given a second chance, I would have bought a double cab and not a crew cab. Better towing ability, more paylaod and more functionality.
I wanna see this bad boy on the Super Ike!
If you forego the bells and whistles you could get a base 1-ton diesel with a locking rear diff for that kind of money.
This needs a rear locker, otherwise it will not compete with other serious off road vehicles. Locker is mandatory Toyota!
Agreed, but that's why Toyota is bringing back the TRD Pro on the Tundra.
Pretty sure even the Pro doesn't have a locker.
Jordan Coward You're correct, no locker 😣
Why doesn't Toyota offer a rear locker, knowing that GM, Ford, Ram and Nissan offer one??
Roy Giller Toyota even had a locker on the Tacoma. I really don't understand why they don't put a locker in the Tundra!
They really are great trucks though
Why is Nathan complaining about this truck being too old???
It looks fantasticly modern in 2018... And i guess instead of putting out a new truck every 2 years, the improve their trucks over and over.
My assumtion is that this tundra will me 250% more reliable than the "new" Ford/Dodge/...
Just my 2Cents :-)
Can you do an off road review for the Ram 2500 with the Cummins and Off Road package up Gold Mine? I know there was one with on Ram's course, but would like to see your honest review on that truck off road. Thanks. -Will
It’s a nice truck, it does need a rear locker, and I hate the front end ( my opinion), maybe the next version will be better. Thanks for the reviews, I look fwd to viewing them as soon as they are posted.
I really want to see how F150 FX4 2018 or 2017 go to truth or dare I love you guys videos keep up with the good work guys
When you guys use 4low it shuts off Toyota’s a-trac system and cripples it’s capabilities. 4high with everything on will perform best in this situation. I also don’t know why toyota calls it an off road package? Any truck with street tires and no locker is a complete joke off road.
Sorry but my wife and I are on our 5th Tundra, and we both think you need to know more about the truck cause we have done more and gone though more snow then just 2 or three inches and we do not see any reason why there is a High End tundra other then the money we would not have any car, SUV or Truck with leather in it, or a sunroof those are for city car's and trucks not work trucks
I’d be curious to see what Toyota could do if thy cracked into the HD market and started making the big boys
From a tech standpoint the Toyota is way behind the other brands. I had a Tundra now I have a Ram 1500 5.7 hemi with 8 speed transmission.
You should of had better tires on the 2016 TRD pro. That’s the only reason you got stuck. My TRD pro will literally go anywhere unless I bottom out. Just gotta have good tires and know how to drive.
A few trucks would go up there in that snow from the first try with the Tundra. I am confident that a Russian UAZ would make it, I suspect a LR Defender would, as well as a Suzuki Samurai and Jimmy.... all on the right tires, narrow and tall mud snow tires.
Great Review, ya don't think a Rubicon would make it up that hill that had all the snow on it? Provided ya had real m/s tires and not soccer mom tires? Love your reviews guys! Keep up the great work!
It probably would especially with chains up front, depends on the type of snow. It is also tough for us to judge the steepness of the road based on the videos.
I know Toyota is slow on the updates but who can beat their reiliability on all fronts? I will take a solid reliable vehicle with peace of mind on the road overn anthyting that requires me to to go to the dealer for a recall notice for all those variouse options.they offer. Keep up the great work and reporting all things interesting.
Hello there Nathan &Roman! Yea it’s a nice truck and all, that will run fine for years, if you can afford to feed it’s habit. It for my money I’ll take a Chevy or Ram any day especially either of the newest ones.
I agree about the price. I actually considered Tundra for the same reason but I can't stand the position behind the steering wheel.
Drive a ram and really like the tundra. Big motor. Low gears. Big cabin. Nice
Still no rear locker on their half ton truck! Wtf Toyota get your shit together Chevy and ford and shitting on you
The term "limited-slip" needs to be redefined in todays market in my opinion. New Tacoma I think has "limited slip" according to Toyota but come on it is brake actuated which sucks, go back to a mechanical LSD/Posi-Traction like the 2008 Tacomas had. Just my .02
The Tundra has the best resale value out of all the 1500 trucks thats why I think they still sell and people want them.
My only problem with this truck, MPG!! Other than that I still think it’s the best truck by a long shot.
Most of y’all talk about dating. Yet this truck is younger that y’all. Toyota has a product that continues to sell good sustainable numbers. Just like the Nissan Frontier and their own Tacoma which is the best selling mid size truck. Money is money is money, they are making money not having to retool a factory every few years. Go Toyota
I know the reason for the stock tires but it is not really helpful.
The first thing I did when I bought my 4-Runner was put on some BFG AT2's.
Viewers want to know which truck works well with proper tires.
First thing I did after buying my Tundra was to put MUCH better tires on it.The stock tires are fine for driving to the mall, and not much else.
The interior is nicer than I thought they just need a redesign
Its a good truck, nice that you can add on the TRD Pro options to some extent on any model. Its affordable and holds its resale nice. Nice to have the roll down rear window and moonroof in the crew cabs as well. Really suffers on payload though, Toyota needs to do something with that. Does sound good and has a lot of pep and excellent throttle step in. Interior to me is perfect but could use a larger screen, looks nice and is very user friendly. Hopefully a battery electric version will come along to help out with the mpg. But it gets that mpg on cheap fuel, some of the other trucks are using mid grade or premium now.
What would make me buy a Tundra again is a max tow or 3/4 ton payload option.
I really am hoping that Toyota makes the next Tundra Body a little more lean looking but still tough like the new Tacoma. I'm confident Toyota will improve Fuel economy and add even more power.
Buy American!! 70,000 miles on my 14 Silverado. Original tire's, never been back to the dealership other than recalls. Averages 21.6 MPG at 76 MPH with the AC on and I off road it regularly!! Buy American!!!
Chevy Silverado made in Silao, Mexico
Toyota Tundra made in San Antonio, Texas
Chains - good idea. Can you do a video using 2wd with chains compared to 4 x 4?
I actually like the look of that interior.And to me it sounds like it has plenty of bells and whistles.On a side note if somebody don't at least partially fill in that hole soon Y'All might loose that trail.
Great video, would like to see you test more mid level trims up that trail. Not full off road packages but at least 4x4. For example my 2017 Titan SV is 4x4 but has some dumb electronic rear diff that doesn’t work well in wet grass haha much less of road
No crap fancy stuff like 2019 dodge ram limited,tundra is a true truck comfortable,goodlooking than other pickups
You can slam Toyota for being "slow to change", but there is no doubt, and really no argument that the Toyota Tundra is far and away the most reliable and dependable truck on the road. I hear guys in my FB groups constantly talking about how they wished they had switched to Toyota years ago. You rarely hear of Tundra owners switching to something else. The only time they switch is if they have to, due to needing a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Sure it may not be at the top of the numbers game in regards to specs, but it's still competitive. The big difference is, the Tundra will still feel like a brand new truck 10 years down the road and 200,000 miles later. Ford, Dodge, and Chevy can rarely attest to that.
@tfltruck it doesn't need refreshed it's a tried and true v8 monster truck for towing and offloading. All the other trucks are for wusses yes they may have turbos and yes more hp but that's not a true truck anymore thats a lil girls truck. The tundra is built for what trucks were made for and how a truck shouldn't have to many features. And ones it has our pretty accessible.
Awesome independent hoodie
Why doesn't Toyota have a rear locker for the Tundra? Tacoma has it. You would think they would have the Locker and crawl control on the Tundra too.
Seems Tundra really needs to get mpg up a lot. Ten speed transmission and maybe differential ratio choice other than 4:30 would be a start I think.
Where is the video on the full ton trucks going head to head on the ike gauntlet?!!
