As a Tundra Fan, I'm completely let down by this new truck....but you nailed the color, I don't think I woulda thought that blue would pop so much. Great job!
@@paulf9653 I have, about two hours worth. And coming from the last Gen Tundra, it's just not good. Turn radius is noticeably larger, and winsheild visibility is worse than before, so two major steps backwards that add up to the truck needing a ton more space to manuever. They shrunk the bed width and depth, two more steps backwards. Shrunk the interior to worst in class and it still has the transmission tunnel hump that completely exacerbates how small the interior really is. So marketing is running a complete scam telling you the truck is bigger, when it's only bigger on the outside. The actually usable space is worse. The tail gate is harder to access then before and its now worst in class for bed egress/ingress. So another step backwards. The new v6s are not getting great gas mileage at all, so we got ripped off there. The hybrid motor was beat out by Fords older hybrid, so the new engines are average at best. Interior/exterior lighting was horrid on the last Gen, and it's still worst in class. And the list of massive missfires, poor quality materials and lack of anything innovative that stands out from the rest of the pack is non existent. Essentially they tried to cover up an embarrassing build with a new shell and some average run of the mill techy stuff that the other big 3 have been doing for awhile..
@@xspower21 turning radius I can definitely agree with. The other things you mentioned I’ve had zero issues with at all. I’m getting over 20mpg which is average or above the competition. The ford hybrid is definitely a better setup. Over all I’m very happy with my new Tundra. I compared trucks before purchasing not stats or paper. The ride quality was hands down better than the ford and my GMC was complete trash. The resale will be better than the big 3 as well.
@@paulf9653 truck are expensive for the average person, so I'm definitely glad it's working out for you...but my personal opinion is that it's subpar in too many spots, and excels at nothing and considering my 2021 800hp Roush F150 gets 17ish mpg's in eco mode, the gas mileage you're getting is not good lol.. So I had to take my money elsewhere....but I do hope you get the longevity we all expect from Toyota.
Definitely will need to upgrade those front struts. Spacers are not a good idea. As soon as RC vertex makes 6 inch for your truck I would definitely upgrade! Clean truck tho bro.
No hate but isn't rough country cheap Chinese crap? I mean the factory Tundra suspension was probably a reputable brand like Bilstien or something right?
truck sits niceeee. Im curious how it’ll hold up off-road. I think another set up that might do rly well off-road but still get you a slight lift is kings for the front and rear with external resi. Even just the 2.5 setup with some after market leaf springs in the rear.
Fully agree with spending less. A cheap $1500 kit that gives the appearance is better than the $5k I spent on the superlift king coilover kit I put on my mom's platinum diesel f150. I did install it myself, so that's thousands saved that could go into better parts, but not everyone can do that install themselves. The one thing I'm always skeptical about it weird brand tired though, I'll wish you luck with those lol.
Curious what your hub to guard measurement is right now. Would you be able to share your measurements? Trying to compare it against mine! I'm sitting at 24.5" in the front and 26" in the rear (center of wheel hub up to the lower edge of the fender).
What rim size and offset and tire size u running bro … I have a 2022 tundra trd pro my westcott lift kit just came in today I’m having it installed on sept 29 once that’s on I have already at home is 22x10 fuel rebel matte blk -13 offset.. ..tires I’ll be running is nitto recon grapplers 285/55r22 overall diameter is 34.3”
Not sure I’d you say this later in the video but I’m wondering about the ride quality? I have a 3 inch bolt on lift on my Ram and want a 6 inch but the only way I’ll justify it is if it helps with the ride quality. No point in spending another few grand just to be lifted another few inches.
People are doing spacer lifts on the new tundra because there’s no actual lift kits available right now by big brand companies such as fox, king, icon etc… i feel like people will immediately swap out those spacers for a full blown lift kit when ever that drops.
No body who is even moderately serious about going off road is going to run a spacer lift. They’re fine for pavement princesses but pretty useless off road.
Looking really good. I just got the westcott designs 3 inch lift on my 22 tundra with some micky thompson baja boss's on fuel coverts. It's on my channel if you want to check it out
I have the WestCott designs lift too on my 2022. I love how it makes the truck sit perfectly for like sand dunes, no tipping. I did 102 on the fwy just floating.
Just like stock but very slight difference in the steering wheel. Feels slightly heavier to steer but if I didn’t mention it most probably wouldn’t even notice
