My Lifted Tundra CrewMax Is Actually A Beater Hooptie - Let Me Explain... 

I bought a white 2012 double cab with 237k miles for 14500 drive out. Motor is perfectly clean and doesn’t burn oil. Very clean and nearly perfect for this high mileage specimen. I wouldn’t consider one under 100k as high mileage.

I’d say your truck is still a baby. My wife’s Sequoia has over 300k.

My 2012 tundra has 320k miles. Looks just like yours. I want to take it to a million miles, at least thats the plan 😁

1:56 Old Duramax.... Gross LOL

91k miles is a hooptie to you? 😭😭😭 wtf am i watching

I have a 2008 double cab with 200,000 miles it’s still just fine

“Gross”comment. That why I watched this video! Had me rolling! If I lived in aptos, I’m in sf I would vote you in as mayor.

I bought my 2008 SR5 like yours 4 yrs ago with 82k miles. It was a 1-owner who put a topper and bedrug on it. It ran like new. It now has 150k on it and I really wanted a new one but could not justify sinking that kind of money into a truck that is going to get dirt and mud all over it. I loved the rear sliding, reclining seats which were replaced by the flip-up seats in the 2014+ models. I also got tired of Toyota delaying the new Tundra and when it does finally arrive, dealers will likely have huge markups so I just picked up a 2010 Limited with 50k on it with spray in bed and topper. Again, it also runs like new.

Could someone please tell me the brand of wheels and tires on the black t-100 ?

I have converted to toyota vehicles. I own a 2000 camry that has 290k miles as a daily driver. I just bought a 2017 TRD 4x4 with 43k miles. Got it for 34,000. I looked for months and I talked them down from 39,000. This was the best deal I found with this low mileage that qualified as certified preowned. Mine has a good 5 inch lift on 33's. I'm really digging your wheels and tires. I'm going to loose as much chrome as possible as well. Glad I fou d your channel. Keep the vids coming sir.

Hey my friend what size wheels and tires are running??

Good video sir. I can honestly tell you that truck ain't no hooptie, and the miles are just fine. I have a 2011 Tundra with tow mirrors with a BDS lift. Definitely not letting it go any time soon. Oh and if you can. Get rid of that plastic on the bed of your truck, and give it a coat of Line X on the bed.

Very tough looking truck. I waited 8 years to finally get my 2018 tundra sport and I love it. Still trying to convince my wife to lift mines. But might be a while. Like your videos is all about Toyotas. Thanks

Very nice looking truck!! I just picked up a 2013. I was looking to install a TRD front sway bar like yourself. Would you happen to have the part number? I called my local Toyota dealership, and the TRD Sway Bars that they have now only fit for the 3rd gen Tundras. Any help would be great.

The door check sounds like its loose from the door side, not the pillar. Did you try tightening those 10mm bolts

i have a 2012 dc trd 4x4 with a 4.6. do you have a link for your rearview mirror display? thinking about adding a backup camera?

Absolutely love that wheel setup, my dad has an 08 limited crewcab with the factory supercharger kit and has only 56k miles. Before reading these comments didnt know how long these actually last🤯

25k for a beater lol... right. I can’t wait to get my tundra.

Question, where did you got that backup camera and rear view mirror ??

I was like you and use to think anything over 50,000 was high, but these new vehicles can go well north of 250,000 today. I got a 2012 Infiniti with over 150,000 and runs like new. Before that had a civic with 286,000 miles gave it to my sister who drove it over 300,000 before totaling it. I also have a tundra 2019 with 30,000 miles. But had a F150 with 160,000 miles ran great but totaled by my son. That tundra will go 300,000 easy if taken care of.

Aww man, I heard you say Seaside I was like oh, he's near me. Lol I've been looking at Tundras too, lol.

Nice truck, just got a 2012 myself with 127k miles on it. Has 129k as of rn but just wondering what lift did u do and size of tires and rims your running

What lift kit is that bud?

I personally really like the clean look with no chrome and with either black or body color trim on trucks , no need for a lot of add on stuff or over the top stuff , just a very nice very clean looking rig . I like it , nice looking truck and a good price on top of that .

Good looking truck, I had a 2013 I wish I would have kept, but I just got back into a Tundra, a 2020 crewMax in Cement color!

You have a Couple Tundras with your same engine with one million miles so I think your good on the “High Mileage”. It’s solid

Is yours a 2WD? I just got a 2012 2WD excellent shape, want to make look like 4WD with some 33"s on 20's. What you think, doable? Awesome beautiful truck!

Nice looking tundra! Bought a 2011 Rock Warrior back 2012 and so far I've only put almost 20,000 miles on it. Nothing fancy on it but looks nice stock as is.

Is it a 2wd??

I’m looking I to buying one soon , love my 2007 4Runner and I think this would be a good addition

LoL listening to you talk about seaside.. Gilroy, Morgan Hill... Im surprised you didn't mention salinas auto mall. Im from over the hill in Los banos. Looking to buy a tundra soon. Does the 12 have the power rear window? That is a really clean older tundra. I am looking to get something that already comes with the lift/ wheels and tire package. I personally prefer the bench seat over the center console. Bench seat gives you options to use as extra room for passengers or just as armrest and organjzing or storage

Deleting the chrome definitly makes the truck look newer. I just got a 2013 Tundra, its my 3rd vehicle, I needed something to haul things around and something that wont leave us stranded at home if we get a bad blizzard, it isn't my daily driver, so I plan on keeping it for many years.

Where did you get the black valance panel

Awesome truck. Just bought my 2012 double cab in January with 198xxx miles on it and already put 10k miles on it with no issues. No one believes me it has over 200k miles on it. Talk about bulletproof.

As soon as you showed the spot where the seat belt buckle was slammed in the door I thought ohhh the hinges...

How are the 12 wides in drive Tru’s 😬 ? Need to know cuz I just picked mine up just waiting for my lift to come in .

Did you level it or lift it?? How much lift?? Great looking Tundra mine is all black badge delete

Very nice truck and miles are low, bought my 2011 with 230k and it runs like a champ

My tundra has the same hinge noise, it’s the black plastic arm for some reason they crack over time it’s a $45 part I haven’t replaced mine because it’s just a noise I don’t see any urgency to replace it

That’s not a hooptie bro.. nice truck! Are those side mirrors aftermarket? I like those and want to get some like those with lights and extendable for my tundra (2015 sr5), 130k miles and drives like its new

So I personally feel like the hooptie term is being used improperly here since you have a vehicle that appears to run normal, looks to be in very good shape, and isn't mistreated. Yes, there are a couple marks that show the signs of what I consider "wear and tear". The mileage isn't bad considering the year. I have a 2017 5.7L now with 52k and am putting on my lift in the next month. I had a 2011 that I traded in leveled with 33s that had 100k miles and got 19k for it. Since both of my tundras were crewmaxes, I feel they messed up getting rid of the rear seats sliding/reclining function since I used that space to put a small toolbox in, as well as other items. Now longevity, they'll last quite a while under normal maintenance. I bought my 2017 4wd with intentions of keeping it a while. Now lifting it will cause premature wear on those components(some lifts cause a lot more depending on brand), but I'm prepared to deal with that as time comes. Mileage doesn't scare me in this truck as it would in most of the "big 3" vehicles. I also personally think its foolish to constantly trading in/selling vehicles from a financial standpoint (hence why I bought a tundra). But the truck looks very good, especially for the age, and think it'd be a wise decision to keep it for a bit. Good luck with it and keep it up!

That isn't high miles for a Toyota. I bought my 2011 Tundra in the summer of 2020. I just hit 100,000 miles this week. I plan on keeping the truck for another 10 years plus.

bow much is the set up on yours man sick truck

Could you tell me what your lift, tire, and wheel size are? thank you.

Got my 07 tundra sr5 5.7 liter with towing package and bluetooth and spray in bedliner and front and rear parking sensors and jb and l factory audio with factory sub and navigation and back up camera with floor shifter at 118k miles 2 years ago for 7900 plus 600 ad Valerom taxes. I still got it cause if I get a new one it will cost 50,000 just to have what mines have. It's a doublecab in green. I fully modded it myself. I also had a 2012 crewmax with 126k miles.

That door issue is your door check needs to be replaced. It’s like a $50 fix. 👍🏻

Nice truck one recommendation it’s a small mod but put a short antenna on it. It makes a difference.

What size lift on Toyota and wheels

what size lift and tires? beautiful truck by the way

How many miles til empty do you get.

What exhaust system is on this truck??

How many gallons is the tank

Had my 2012 5.7 crew max tundra pyrite mica 2wd, for alittle almost 1 year. Bought it with 161,000 miles and for only $17,500. Katskin leather still in beautiful shape and bought it from offer up. I have a personal mechanic that checks anything I want/need. Don’t look at the miles, get a computer reader, check for mechanical issues. Anything else beside mechanical is just regular maintenance.

So glad you color matched the bumpers. Chome makes the tundra look so bad even the 1st gens

Lift kit link

that tundra is just Breaking in I got a 2008 with 260,000 and it runs like a new one!!!!!!

Got my 2010 crew max TRD off road SR5 with 62,000 for 16,000 I spent about 3 full days cleaning and detailing looks brand new . Most people who don’t know about different gen tundras think it’s brand new .

Lol not even broke in at 90k

What shocks do you have?

Shoooooot, my 07 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 TRD OFF ROAD 4.7L V8 has 281,738 miles on it and I'm still on the same motor and trany. I've had to do a few minor repairs and maybe 2 repairs where I took it to the shop. Water pump and went ahead an had them replace the timing belt as well sense I had the motor already cracked open and the other was the u-joint/rear differential. Buttt nothing super serious like a new trany or a motor swap.

That is a great looking truck, and I'm sure it will hold its value. As for the mileage, I really can't see it being a problem with regular services. As it stands I have a 2007 Tundra SR5 with the 4.7 V8. I was kind of bummed at the time that it wasn't the 5.7. After the test drive however, I could tell there was plenty of power, and the engine ran very strong. Long story short, it had 75,000 miles on it at the time of purchase, and now has almost 200,000. It still runs and drives as it did the day I purchased it, and I couldn't be happier with it. Also, I have found videos on RU-vid of 3 different Tundras, all of which have the same 4.7 engine, making the million mile mark. That being said, Toyota makes amazing vehicles.

My dream truck

ho many inches lift?

My 2004 4 runner with 260000 miles has the same seats and they're still holding up no damage whatsoever

I think u need a brand new truck so u don’t have to complain about your truck!

Just got my 2012 this month sr5 crew 4x4 for 37k WITH ONLY 8K MILES!! YES 8K MILES lol couldn't pass that up

What lift does it have ?

What wheels are these ?

That’s a beautiful truck. Do people ever stop you and say that it’s their dream truck and they wish they could afford one? It’s funny because those older tundras cost less than new Hondas!!!

That noise is the door check. Mine did the same thing easy fix

Link for backup camera?

That trucks just broke in now my toyota has 360,000 miles and still runs like a champ

These are 1000000 trucks if you do the maintenance you will have a lot of worry free driving.

I bought a 2012 double cab Texas edition with 39K miles for 25,900 out the door back in 2015. I think I got very lucky.

I love the look of this generation I personally don’t like the new generation tundras at all. This generation I really like just hesitant as I have had three tacomas one brand new and 2 I bought used that all had issues. I however had a 05’ Silverado HD that I sold running flawless with 256k miles, a 08’ GMC Duramax I just sold running flawless with 242k miles and drove my father in laws 03’ Silverado just yesterday although it’s sketch he drives it down to Mex every weekend and it has 456k mile on the clock . I have had great luck with the GM HD trucks gas and diesel but my next one will be a 07’-13 Tundra just cause I like how they look and hopefully it’s problem free and I can experience the Toyota reliability I also has a 13’ Prius as a commuter it only lasted 4 years before it blew up. 3 months after I paid it off. So I try with Toyota it just hasn’t worked out. I do the maintenance as I drive 220mi round trip daily but they really haven’t held up for me yet.

I have a 2007 beater like 8 owners an accident supercharged since new and it still runs like my 21 (but faster) lol

It’s a beautiful truck

What size lift u running

That’s low miles. I’d consider my 06 tundra to be low miles at 150,000

Shout Out Gilroy!!!! ❤

Hoopty.... You keep using that word, but I don't think you know what it means.

We just bought a 2014 Crew Max for $27,000 with 63,000 on it, Toyota certified used.

I got my 07 for $7,000 and it had 130,000 miles on it

Wait until they have the hybrid model for more torque and better gas mileage, And maybe even carpool privileges.

You probably should keep it as long as you can. You are going to loose most, if not all the money you put in the upgrades, especially if you trade it in to the dealership. Been there, done that, got the Tshirt. Besides it is a very good looking truck and it's a Toyota - not that many miles for a Toyota! I bought a 2019 TRD Pro with 48,000 miles and it runs like a deer. Hard to beat the Toyota reliability.

Is this for sale?

My 2010 has black carpet from the factory

Need some wheel flares

I have 2008 like new, 72,345 Miles

👍👍

I have almost 150k on my tundra and it still drives like a new truck

I bought a 2013 Tundra 4.6L 2WD TRD SR5 DC with 33,000 miles in 2016 for $23,000. I now have 113,000 miles on it and would rather have it than any other brand new truck.

My 2008 tundra looks exactly the same

Put a little grease on the door stop noise will go away!

Should I avoid Dublin Toyota?

bro , that truck is no hooptie, not even close!

Is this guy a joke or what?

90k miles on a Tundra isn’t even broke in yet, lol. 195 on mine and it’s barley broke in.

Not entirely true. I had a Toyota salesman that wasn’t respectful or willing to work with me so I left. I got calls daily for a couple weeks and then for 2 months I got weekly calls about deals

I have A 2015 crew max bought with 30k on it for 40,000 and I don’t regret a single penny I spent! Toyota’s never disappoint I’ve have Tacoma’s and 4 runners and tundras and so has my family we are 100% a Toyota family and I can say say I’ll never drive another truck Toyota is nothing but quality
