2018 Toyota Tundra TRD Sport: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know 

Tony Bertalan These 2nd gen Tundras break down quite a bit too. Just go look at the Tundra forums out there. $1000+ air injection pump failures, valve covers that leak oil, center support bearing vibrations, rear diff failures, slipping transmissions, water pump failures, rear main seal leaks, electrical gremlins, vibration from front diff, bad wheel bearings, frame rot, etc.

Exactly. I too used to be a domestic or die fan boy but after making the transition to Japanese I'm never looking back. Just an all around better product. You hit the nail right in the head, RELIABILITY!!!!

why? never need them just put it in 4x4 and go back and fourth you'll free yourself if you dont your doing it wrong

No Ma'am 979 Amen to that. GM been having those bitches basically standard since the early 2000's, Ford finally made the move in 2012 and toyota still ain't done shit.

If you really go off road you need lockers , i love Toyota , but the locker is far superior .... that's why its in the tacoma there elite off road truck

LilTortilla8 If you want lockers on a Toyota just move to Australia, Africa ect... where Toyota trucks live off the beaten path and where a locker is a must, 99% of trucks in the U.S equipped with lockers never see more than a gravel or dirt road other than Tacoma's and Jeeps

buy a 2wd truck then , Everyone i know needs a locker

Brad Wilson I agree, I demand a locking rear differential. What's the big deal! What would it hurt to put one on! If anything it could increase sales

Brad Wilson just bought my 3rd f150. an e locker is really nice to have.

That is my biggest gripe with my Tundra. I will be putting an Auburn LSD in the rear this summer. Well, there is also the fuel economy, but you can't have everything.

toyota is a piece of SHIT

+Firestarter toyota is a piece of SHIT

well people buy the sport models. I have no idea why but I see more sports than trd off roads in the tacoma at least.

cheaper?

ApexGaming Yeah I'm pretty sure it is cheaper than the off-road

Adrian Macias my question is why put it on if it doesn't do anything...

For it to look sporty

Jet Ski Well said, "sadly a lot of truck buyers in America want their toys to play with while driving, some love a remote tailgate, others rather have fake V-8 engine sounds than a real V-8, some need a trailer backup assist because they can't drive ect....." over a proven and reliable Tundra, useless bells and whistles that are prone to fail and cost a fortune to repair are more important than reliability for a lot of truck buyers, go figure

Jet Ski why not give the consumer options reliability is one thing but every truck is damn reliable nowadays they can't expect that to win a consumer offer a diesel with 25mpg plus. Like Ram does and ford is going to do. I mean hell my dads Ram 2500 megacab 4x4 with cummins gets 22-26 mpg unloaded all the time and can get 13mpg towing 16k at 80 mph. 12-17 mpg doesn't cut it anymore that's a joke.

Jet Ski Toyota is the only car manufacturer that keeps making cars simple, reliable, and easier to work on.

If you don't want bells and whistles buy a base model truck from any other manufacturer for less money. or buy a fully loaded Tundra and have the same options as a base model truck but spend a lot more because it's "reliable". Give me a break look at your sales compared to everyone else's and see what the consumer wants they don't want your old ass truck. We've had toyotas in the past and our Ram trucks are just as reliable if not more.

THEDESTROYER711 let me explain you something that is best of my knowledge. Toyota is Japanese owned company but vehicles are built in United States. Toyota have super awesome 3.0 liter twin turbo diesel and 5.0 twin turbo d4d diesel in other parts of the world running in land cruisers and other suvs . Toyota is not able to convince Govt of United States to let them bring those motors here because if it does come to USA it will slow down the small diesel sales of ford/ gm / dodge which have a pretty strong control in govt decisions. Second is emission laws about the Toyota diesel which Toyota is not able convince us govt. over all USA will not allow diesel from Toyota (which is awesome motor made by Toyota) . What USA govt wants to do is buy American diesel from company like Cummings or ford / international and use them in Toyota . Just like they forced Nissan to do it with titan hd (cummins 5.0) . So while other people in different part of the world are enjoying diesel toyotas we will have to wait and see what Toyota and USA govt can come to an agreement. As far as my understanding I think Toyota wants to use their own diesel motor like other countries . But USA govt of course won't let it happen for cheap since they are not using American diesel. And again when it comes to American diesel gas mileage I would say one thing : go to Asian countries and drive a Toyota diesel land cruiser / or other Toyota diesel suvs for some time and see it for yourself are they Milage efficient enough or not . I bet you won't get disappointed .

TheJoncic The dilithium powered warp drive, model, will be released next year.

I agree man, they need new designing engineers. The truck is bad ass performance wise but they need to work on the look.

It pulled a space shuttle, not like its competitors blow it away ecoboost is very problematic.

Hahah the space shuttle thing...Tundra doesn't even lead the towing specs.

It doesnt need to lead the towing specs, ecoboost is thirsty and unreliable

ttom089 same pricing in Las Vegas and agree with you 100%. I still wanted to see Toyota put in some effort offering something actually new.

David Robles I hear you man but we know toyota if its not broken dont fix it. I am pretty sure if majority of consumers wanted it and need it they would have upgraded the engine but in todays market its really just dodge and ford pushing the mpg on full size trucks but we all know the reliability on those things. even Chevy gets about the same mpg as the tundra. ill take reliability and almost no maintenance over enginuity any day. I would like to see a diesel on this bad boy though.

You can buy a Chevy 2500 6.0 for the same price, way better towing, at least as good engine and transmission reliability, much better payload.

Generic Name some people don't need a heavy duty 2500

Generic Name 6.0 towing mpg is 9 miles to the gallon and isn't near as reliable the tundra

Alberto Gonzales And that is a great thing, it's dependable, reliable and gets the job done

guy proulx. i literally only clicked 2 see what ud say lol

Nick Dovie lol, and what do you think?

guy proulx sorry it's ugly....it's too big as most of them i don't like the interior personal pet peve is a console shifter on a truck. toyota can engineer stuff better than most i wish they'd keep it basic a classic evolution

Nick Dovie looks are in the eye of the beholder, personally i think it looks much better than the Ram, i agree they are all too big now, Toyota would keep it simple and basic but unfortunately they have to add a few bells and whistles to try and be competitive in the U.S truck market and keep spoiled Murican truck buyers happy, i prefer a column shifter, i really hate a dial shifter like in the Ram, what a stupid idea, and i also prefer a key

Taylor Albaugh yes!!

I KNOW RIGHT, WTF??

Right on !!!

Or at least a 6' bed I can sleep in ....... 6'4"

I too have been waiting for a 6 foot or longer bed in the crew max. Why I have been looking at the Nissan Titan xd. But, I do want a Toyota

edward fern same boat as you driving a 2004 Tacoma can't fit comfortably in the new Tacoma "I think they look great" and don't want a tundra because it's essentially a 10 year old truck so I'm just over here twirling my thumbs, I've been looking at the ford's but ehh I favor Toyota.

Kparks24 used to have a 01 dlb cab tacoma 4x4. loved the truck off road but couldn't get use to the small size on long trips! Trade up to a newer used 14 or so after last face lift for now. Take care of it the truck will hold up its value then in 2020 if they do a major change go new. I would still prefer a tundra over the competition. I've been thinking on getting a new 4runner 4x4 trail but not sure still love my tundra!

VCG Construction No it will not

Maybe we can hope for the long talked about diesel option!

VCG Construction magnuson has taken over the development. they're just trying to get the tuning down right.

bren hi nobody can foresee the future but for now the SC isn't available from TRD, but i believe you can still get one aftermarket

When looking to buy new in the configuration that we would need and capability I find myself looking at ford super duty. But with all the bad experiences I've had in the past with ford I never pull the trigger! I do like the idea of a crew cab & full size bed with a diesel engine! I guess if we wait on Toyota the dream may never become reality!!

You could have added the rear diff. ARB locker or Auburn LSD are the options. Knowing what I know now, I would have just factored that into the cost of the truck. I love the cab configurations. I have the double cab and it is the smallest cab that I could set the front seat where I wanted it and still get in the back seat. The F-150 extended cab was too short and the crew cab was too long. For me, this was just right. The mileage sucks, but it isn't bad for the power and reliability. I considered the eco-boost, but the reliability isn't at Toyota level.

Christopher Ellis 2.7l Ecoboost 2015 model year is turning out to be very reliable. since its come out in 2015 we have only had 2 that had minor engine issues. nothing catastrophic.

it will last much much longer than that

Another reason why the tundra has the best resale value of any full size truck because they don't change the engine and frame of their trucks but every 15 years. It's actually a good thing for the consumers of the tundra as the newer models with a new engine and 8-10 speed tranny doesn't cause the previous models to depreciate as quickly.

Hahaha those rust rotting frames won't last 5 years let alone 10.

hochhaul ,my 10year tundra not rust at all.

Troy Strain Toyota should put an ecoboost or ecodiesel in the Tundra lol

guy proulx Fuck ecoboost. Worst engine Ford has ever put in their trucks. Thats why i've been sticking with my Vortec.

M3X1C4NO i was being sarcastic, everyone complains about the 5.7 because it's a little thirstier but it's the most reliable engine in any 1/2 ton

guy proulx Okay i see what you mean. i was a little triggered there for a second lol

Yes, "Tundra's are reliable," but so are F150's (believe it or not, depending on the koolaid you're drinking). However, F150's are superior by every other measure, including appearance. PERIOD! That's obviously why three times as many F150's are manufactured and sold than Toyota Tundra s....

Agree...the mpg keeps me from buying one! If Chevy with the 5.3L can do better why can't Toyota?

Carl Moore 3rd

Carl Moore because the GM motor cuts out cylinders. that's not a true full time V8. if you care so much about gas mileage buy a chevy volt you fucking hipster.

Killzone. Agreed. I have a sierra and what really bothers me is the V4 bullshit

TheNugler Then, you shouldn't have bought it. I mean, if you hate cylinder deactivation so much why buy a newer truck with said technology?

TXchadTX a $60k GMC Sierra Denali doesn't have those features either.

agreed to an extent the e locker argument is dumb though you dont get a fullsize to offroad and you nont need a locker to offroad my taco has been doing it for 21 yrs (; go watch fred williams go up hells revenge in a tundra

hankmiestro why? life is better boosted!

Anthony Musso what would you rather have, an extra mpg or 2 or proven reliability?

guy proulx both.

Southern Nevada offroading and back country if you could only pick one which would it be?

guy proulx I'd pick the truck you see in my thumbnail. 2.7l Ecoboost F150 super crew fx4. Which I did, an love it!

The guy that drove a million miles, i like to see how much money he spent in gas. Lol, i agree why not both

Chris Chase - They're LED

Hid where did you see projectors? as josh said they are LED listening is fundamental try it sometime your missing a lot

TundraJason well tundra ain't exactly selling like hot cakes. if they do a major overhaul they could get alot more business from the Ford and go guys or atheist make them look lol

kparks24 Yeah Tundra sales have always been terrible. The plant that builds them has never hit 100% output. They even started making Tacomas to keep production numbers up while they expanded their Mexico Tacoma plants.

Praise God glory Jesus,he loves you the cross is proof, he wants to forgive your sins,he's the perfect father,go to him as you are but in repentance,let him change you from sinner to saint,put your faith in him,for your soul sake give the bible a chance,he wants relationship not religion,ty Jesus

revistadearmas exactly who the hell have they been talking to??

kparks24 lol. What I always wonder. Who exactly are they talking to because I think it’s pretty evident people want many, many, many things they just are not doing including that locker.

Marketing - lie about your product not about your customer; fail.

letseggroll its bull because they have this technology and equipment already in other models. I was a big Toyota fan but it's sad to say I really have lost interest in them.

corvettecraver only Toyotas in America but toyotas around the world are better and have a lot more power... wish they could bring those to America

Toyota is the only brand that can seem to make their trucks reliable

Kevin Pretty easy to nail reliability when they barely sell any of them and the truck's design and powertrain hasn't changed in a decade. Funny thing is, the problems with the Tundra never get fixed either. The cam towers still leak, the front diff still vibrates, the wheel bearing failures continue, the ball joints still suck, the frames still rust rot, etc.

Literally of all trucks we've owned, Toyota had used way less gas and has had less trips to the mechanic than anything else we've owned

uhhh.. 381 horsepower and 401 pound feet of torque. That's right up there with the competition

Nick Curcio You just convinced me to buy a Tundra. Cheers!

1AndyOnly settle down Dandy Andy

Nick Curcio this truck will last FOREVER though, that's why their hesitant to do anything major as long as they keep selling them

Maximiliano Luera I know it's reliable and a good truck, its just dissapointing because I know toyota has the technology to really improve it, I think it's more a cost issue that it remains mostly unchanged

Nick Curcio in what? Bells and whistles? Lol

Wake me up when Toyota's fanbase isn't full of the most smug assholes on the planet. I don't care if their cars are literally bulletproof and have a 0% breakdown rate, and cost $5. The people that drive them are smug pricks.

Yeah but it's not at all a piece of shit.

false, the people that drive ram and chevrolet and bmw are the smuggest pieces of shit on the road

Generic Name have you ever met a tesla driver? they make Beemer drivers look like mr Rogers!

BloodySinner so you'd have new over reliability that's the best pickup on the highway

Grease Monkey it's not a big thing but when other similar trucks are getting pretty much substantially better Mpg as well as other options then it becomes a problem.

coz people use this truck everyday =work+trip+off road +carry stuff= yes fuel economy is matter

If they put a 50+ gallon fuel tank on it so you're not like me in my 2005 GMC with a 25 gallon tank going every 250 miles before you have to stop then gas mileage wouldn't be a big thing. It'd be great to be able to drive all day and never have to stop for gas. If you're pulling something heavy and only getting 8-10 miles per gallon, and you have a 25 gallon tank, you can realistically only want to use about 20 gallons of it just so you don't get stranded in the middle of no where with no gas stations around. If you're going 70 MPH you're stopping for gas every 3 or so hours, that's dumb. Put a 50 gallon tank on there, fill it up wherever you can for as cheap as you can and you can drive all day, or drive around town all month and get the best price of gas as it fluctuates.

BG Customs sorry to know you cant listen to the salesman telling you how to defeat the traction control hahahahah i was merely a kid when I figured it out, I think you never had a tundra or if you did you didn't use it as a truck hahaha. You tried pulling anyone out with that beast? I remember TOTALLING an 07 F-150 that was high centered on a drain (no clay backfield around it so 3ft of snow) ripped that piece of s**t off that cap in REVERSE and bent the frame of the shi**y domestic joke of a truck. Yota power is crazy if you know how to unleash it, thats a big if though! Learn how to use buttons or maybe look up how to defeat tcs

It took me no time to find out you can't read an owner's manual hahahahaha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HEbfe7O2bKc.html You owned a 16' tundra and thought the tcs couldn't be defeated or...you are a liar! Lmao so sad, I'm guessing you drive a raptor or something lame like that

Matt R better hurry Ford and GM are offering 10 grand incentives, 0% interest and employee pricing

I traded my rock warrior tundra for a 2017 f150 and my pos ecoboost is sitting in the shop broke down with 8k miles on it and ford won't fix it.

Ryan Bowers Seriously, at that price point you could get a nice F250, GM or Ram 2500 and have much more capability with similar gas mileage.

All of their engines are ancient... that's why they're so reliable. The Chevy 6.0 can practically survive a nuke and it's decades old now.

I'll stick with the 5.7 gas guzzling while it won't break down and will stay reliable for past a decade.

Ryan Bowers " Miles behind the curve"? The truck with the most miles on the road is a tundra!😂

JINX CREW Other brands of full size pickups have had many million mile trucks. Not to mention the guy that owned that Tundra was a part runner that did 100% highway driving, which makes racking up high mileage a piece of cake

Hey it could of been worse, like a chevy or ford.

+GETBacCerote fords ecoboost sounds like a lawnmower and Chevys are ugly, but I've got rather a Ford or a Chevy than that boring piece of steel

What about the GMC? It looks nice but it runs and performs like a Daewoo.

Douwe Kruizenga your mom was boring last night...😒

+GETBacCerote I'm not really into GMCs, I'm more of a Dodge/Ram guy

McSteeze Just watch the million mile Tundra video on TFL, that should give you a pretty good idea

that's a 2nd gen tundra, my dude.

McSteeze 1999-2000 to 2007 = 1st gen, 2007 to present = 2nd gen, The million mile Tundra is a 1st gen Tundra, same as the '05 you are looking at

Fishing With Z was that suppose to be a joke cuz if it was it's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard...

Ian Carranza most stupidest? wow we got. a fucking genius over here..
