Quick Review | 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro 

I'm not a pick up truck type, but your videos are good enough to make me want one. I hope you can make a decent living at this, you deserve it.

I grew up with Chevys. That's how I learn how to work on cars, but I own a 2016 Tundra and I know I won't have any issues.

Such a underrated truck in its segment.

i love how you casually drive your review cars like a lunatic. its hilarious.

That 5.7 is still one of the best engines in today's trucks and one of the best Toyota made. When it came out it blew away the competition.

Savage - "Nobody is going to argue with the reliability of this thing" Mechanic - "I don't know men, you better watch out them, the dodge and chevy boys" Savage - "I don't care, it doesn't matter. This could be handcrafted from god with a Toyota badge on it and the chevy boys are going to hated". Nice one...

This engine is still port injection. If it had direct injection the fuel economy would be a tad better. However, port injection virtually never has anything go wrong with it, unlike the DI.

Spirited driving on curvy roads in a full size Tundra. Only on Savagegeese. :)))))

"Heat goes down, not up".........ROTFALMAO!!

You CAN disable the Traction control. Push the traction button, let go, push in again and hold for 5-6 seconds and the dash will light up "Traction Control Off".

The one thing I did not expect when I bought my 16 Tundra, the comfortable ride. With the 38 gallon tank, it will exceed 600 miles in range, so that comfortable ride is important. The cab is also really quiet, very little road noise. The engine noise will take over with the right amount of pressure on the flapper valve, it makes me giggle every time!

Must. resist. urge to trade in paid off 2012 Tundra to get one of these.

"Oh look. A broken down Mustang." Love this guy

You and Scott taking about the engine is among the best conversations I have ever watched.

Dear Savagegeese, You stated that the Tundra's engine is Direct Injection, but THANKFULLY it remains Multi-Port fuel Injection, as from what I could find out. PS. I am a truck man, and you did a fine report. Putting vehicles on the lift, so all things such as my personal interest, the suspension can be well viewed. You are unique in doing this ''Thank you''. S,G, I see your mostly performance car guy's, but seeing cars improve while growing up in the 80's was great, and I love all cars, on up to vans.I loved the Chrysler Pacifica review. Please test some more regular cars & trucks, especially ones with smaller wheels and tires, I mean who ever considered major wheel damage from a regular pot hole 15-20 years ago, and they suck in Utah winters.

Dude, you’re a wild man behind the wheel, yet you remain so composed. I love it

LOL AT TACO STAIN! I just picture you trying to eat a taco and having the same issue as Robert Hays from the movie AIRPLANE. " I have an eating problem" *slams taco into head*

I wish someone would reveiw a superchargered 5.7 tundra. Even though TRD stopped making the supercharger a few years ago. You can still get a Magnason supercharger kit which is pretty much the same thing. If the 5.7 in stock form is great then imagine the superchargered version. I own one of the TRD units and when I take my friends for a ride and show them the full power of the truck. Its always "Holy S*#T WOW!

tundras and tacomas are some of the best trucks out there, the tacoma is literally perfect except for towing (doesnt really need to tow cause its a small truck) and the tundra is an absolute beast in every way but you sure do pay for gas, theres still trade offs for perfect trucks, both of them are extremely reliable on top of that

I bought a new Tundra in 2007 my first Toyota. I still have it and still love it. Not one reliability issue after almost 200k miles and 11 years of daily driving.

Awesome video.... oh look a broken down mustang had me dying!!😂😂😂😂. Watching you review this truck helped me with my purchase of new Tundra

One of the first things (after swapping out the shift knob w/t TRD) I did to my 2016 Tundra XSP-X was to install that sweet TRD exhaust. Now I get even worse gas mileage because I love to hear that "Intelligent" (for Scott) 5.7 growl pulling away from every stop! I've been on several long trips and never experienced any drone other than when hitting long mountain inclines. Glad you noticed that unbelievable turning radius, which is just so very helpful when driving these manly machines! Lol ~

Love your reviews and your production quality. Top notch stuff. The Savage Goose at the opening is killer as well....

Great review! I have the previous generation Tundra ('05) with a little over 300,000 trouble free miles on it. I have been considering replacing it with a new Tundra. This review is exactly what I expected from a Toyota product. Nice job!!

oh look a broken down mustang hahahah

I am definitely taking this Truck everywhere it can go. I am just waiting for the redesign of the interior so I could buy one.

Wasn't one of your best reviews but you nailed the end. At least we know it can, and that is a big selling point.

love watching your videos, just realized I live right around where you're driving.

Bought my 07 brand new. 200K miles and no real issues. Eats tires, guzzles fuel (14.5 average) and the paint sucks but I live in Hawaii so that's pretty normal. I lifted mine 4in or so when new and have had no adverse wear from any of the components. I'd buy another one tomorrow......

I love your reviews and humor. Great video.

just got back from North West Ontario 850 miles pulling a fully loaded truck and 18 ft boat gas mileage around 10 to 12 mpg not great but a comfortable truck to drive long distance

i switched from a gmc to a custom-made tundra 2017! best purchase i made

Looking forward to Toyota's redesigned Tundra of the future. Hopefully we see it in the next few years!

I drive one, awesome truck...thanks for the review...

love the videos man, you do a fantastic job. The 5.7 in the tundras are not direct injection, still multiport EFI. I believe the Lexus LX series feature the direct injection version of the motor.

finally, Turdblownsky is in his element

Love the reviews! I even watch the ones of vehicles I am not interested in because they are so entertaining.

I can't wait for you to test drive the 2018 trd sport tundra. Especially on those curves 👍🏻

Great video! Can you please do a video on the new 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD pro?

Finally, someone used the word "confounding" to describe the big back seats. It is ridiculous. The double-cab is plenty big enough and provides for a bigger bed and under seat storage.

I like how he says " Oh, look... A broken down Mustang..." In a very matter-of-fact way.

Great video. Watched it from start to finish

Sounds even better with the TRD air intake!

I'm buying one most definitely. ☺😍😘😋😄😉

do a sti! love the reviews really gives people great insight/opinions on cars :)

Had to correct this as I PDI and work on these engines at my Toyota Dealer: The only engine for this TRD PRO is a 3UR-FE It is not DIRECT-INJECTED.

I love my 17 Tundra.It's been great other than 1 dead battery and a creaking squeaky dash when its cold out.

I had the first version of a Expedition and it was a damn good SUV.

Heat does not go down. I'm assuming he's just a terrible joke teller. Love my Tundra.

i have always liked the TUNDRA as a truck in the segment, it always had a great ride, good sound dampening, and over all a very refined truck... just power, Fuel economy, interior quality, and features are behind that of RAM, GMC, CHEVY, and F150

Did you drive one with the Toyota Sway Bar installed??? I heard it was night and day...

Turbowski is back?! Awesome!

Just came here from the Raptor vid, and though I don't understand these trucks, I'd take this over that raptor if I had to. That motor just sounds great

I wanted to love this truck.....test-drove a used 2017 with 14K miles, and a brand new 2019. I found the exhaust-note droning at cruising 70 mph. Also, the leather seats seems different than my 2010 Tundra LTD, and on both test-rides, found them warm. Ended up getting a 2019 Tundra Platinum for $6K less. Yes, not the off-road ability, but for 98% of my driving, the Platinum is nicer and has much better seats with "ventilated" option.

High quality footage. What kind of camera do you use?

Hi, are you doing a review of the mk7 gti in the near future?

It is not direct injected! It's a port engine. Dual overhead cams with variable timing in all (4 camshafts); it has a variable acoustic intake. The intake has a short and a long runner intake for each cylinder. It is a forged crankshaft, and connecting rods, and aluminum allow coated pistons. 6 bolt main bottom end. All aluminum block, heads, cam cradle, and head covers. Ignition Coils over spark plugs. The brake system utilizes an electric motor to assist the brakes. It has more cross members than the F150. The exhaust system is all stainless steel front-back. Bumpers are bolted to the frame rails with 12 bolts to the frame (f150, eight). The transmission is a 6-speed automatic with 8 sets of clutches; 4 driving cutches, 4 brake clutches, and four one-way clutches. The transmission has a coolant thermostat for quicker warm up on winter. Plus a trans cooler mounted in the grill. And there are still more little things.

King of the road 😮

Any chance you can do a review on the 2020 Tundra? Pro or Trd offroad

this truck is beast

I thought the 5.7 liter V8 was MPI not GDI? In the video it is stated that it is GDI, can Savage geese clarify, please?

have u tried the new Titan v8 pro4x I have tried that one u are driving a it nice but that Titan dam hard choice and the Titan get better gas mileage so just trying to choose lol

Considered the TRD Pro but bought Sierra crew cab instead. Inside GMC is whisper quiet! Love that Tundra rear window though.

I'm pretty sure heat goes up.

What is the name of the color on this Toyota Tundra that you tested?

Disable the traction control by holding the TC button down. See the TC light come on then hold it down one more time and watch for the auto lsd to turn off.

Bought a Silverado in 2018 brand new at 13000 miles check engine light started coming on. After the third time went lemon law on it. Chevy bought it back and got a tundra. Fun fact dealer offered me 23k for trade in a year after I bought it for 40K. Gm bought it back for what I paid minus a a few grand after 2 years of ownership. The day they gave me the check I went down and bought a tundra limited. Tundra is way better truck. Build quality is way higher. Fit and finish is way better ride is smoother. Also no annoying engine tick. Have the TRD exhaust and it does sound great. Love my tundra. Mpg is not great. It is on par with my 07 f150.i get about 14 mpg. The power is great. Tundra is what it is great truck with what you need. The big 3 have forgotten what a truck is for.

I’ve got an 03 4runner, 4.7L. Put a Magnaflow Cat-back exhaust in it. IMO it is the perfect sound for it. Not too loud and doesn’t drone when cruising, but mash the gas pedal and it has a mean throaty growl as it revs up to redline.

Last I checked, you can get the TRD Pro with either the Doublecab/6.5 foot bed configuration or the the CrewMax/5.5 foot bed. You're not just limited to the massive cab, short bed combo.

I like how you put the vehicles up on a lift for your reviews. Can you please provide a review of the 2017 Nissan Titan gas PRO 4-X.

subbed. excellent review

I like simple trucks or cars. Easy co controls for ac. Had 2015 mustang for rental. You have to do so many things just adjust the temperature you like

It's a nice truck!

I been thinking about trade my 2015 tundra SR5 for this Pro version.

Not Direct Injected. Would like to see you test a 2020 or 2021 Nissan Titan.

They're not embossed, they're debossed

fully torqued

This or the Ridgeline BE? Help me decide.

Next time you get a Tundra for review try out the tow/haul mode. My 2010 w/ the 4.6L V8 will downshift for corners and then hold a gear through the corner exit.

when is the new body style coming out???

Hey savagegeese, off topic question sorry but what Lexus would you recommend as the best you've driven in your opinion? Or the Lexus that impressed you the most out of all that you've driven? Thank you!

That Mustang wasn't broken down, it was being restrained. Glad I found SavageGeese from The Smoking Tire Podcast.

does it have TRD specific oil filter

I believe this video may be mistitled as the 2017 TRD Pros don't come in Mag Grey. Cement, White and Barcelona Red are the only options for '17. This is probably a '16

Why belt suspension that's an old school suspension older cars have? Mostly McPherson strut is used these days.

Freaking love that intro

I love that motor too... they def need to put that iForce V8 into a sports car.

1:49 I have a 2014 tundra and I don’t think I’ve ever used the running boards. I usually just side step in.

0W-20 is on the thinner side, but the truck does have a dedicated oil cooler, so it should easily keep the oil in an optimal viscosity range, even under high engine load. The oil would have flow advantages in cold weather and, of course, lower internal friction.

But there's another option. You can also have it with a Double Cab 6.5 long bed.

if you like the tundra on the road the new 2018 try sport might be perfect. big toyota fan though. great video man, kudos.

So Mr. Geese, this or a 2017 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 Double Cab?

Correction. 3UR-FE or 3UR-FBE which is the FLEX FUEL one! Hope that helped!

Direct injection with maybe Atkinson cycle and an 7/8 speed transmission could help with 1-2 mpg.

any kind of body fluid?

Why won't they put the push button start in the Tundra's?

Not only does heat go up not down but the tundra 5.7 IS NOT direct fuel injection. The 3UR-FE is a 5.7-liter (5663 cc) engine designed for use in Toyota Tundra/Sequoia/Land Cruiser, and Lexus LX570 vehicles, without the D-4S gasoline direct injection.

what is the name of the music that you used, i loved it?

I LOVE IT PLEASE GET ME ONE

The guy said it perfectly at 7:20! Hahaha!!!
