Toyota Has A Secret 

You didn't mention the T-100. It was the predecessor of the Tundra in the years '93 -'98.

The Tundra was actually introduced as the T100, based on F150. Toyota actually did not plan on putting in a V8 engine on the Tundra until the US dealers demanded the V8 engine or else. The only V8 engine that Toyota had for the US market was the one in the Lexus LS.

Toyota Trucks are so best and not only used for public but also around the world and even battlefields. Toyota are still GOATED to this day

This video was amazing to watch, I’m Australian and mess around with 90’s hilux’s, they truely are awesome cars. I learnt something new with the TRD supercharger on the 5vz! Super cool.

you forgot the T100! man they don't get enough love very underrated Toyota

It always impresses me how easily you make 20 minutes go by. Another banger, sir.

New Albon video makes the week better.

I love the old timey smaller sized Japanese trucks especially the 80'e Toyota trucks

I work at toyota and we have a methanol injected supercharged Tacoma with 750,000 miles on it that comes on about once a month for an oil change. Lemme tell that car is clean as hell and fun to drive

I've been a Toyota man since 1995. Got my 1st truck that year, 1984 4x4 single cab. Since then I've owned over 2 dozen Toyotas.

I have a 2018 Tacoma. I absolutely love it. It’s definitely not fast, but it will go anywhere

I love my 2003 Tundra TRD 4.7L 4x4. It's the perfect size for exploring off road, hauling motorcycles, moving dirt & wood, yet still fits in the garage! 😀🏁

Love your videos Albon!!! It's always great to see all the love and care that goes into your videos 🤠

"Toyota! The lone brand to take on America on it's home turf!" HONDA: *lolwot*

It also has something to do with reliability. My 89 hit 600k before losing the engine.

Love the yota boy’s energy, especially the part of glossing over the rusted frame lawsuit, them dropping the V8 and v6 making a good amount of their clientele mad.😂😂😂

One of the best, your editing/mixing and fast paced clearly spoken with gusto was magnificent. Very very informative and to the point/points, Bravo.

Albon sponsored by Aeropress is pretty amusing, yet very fitting. I guess Aeropress is looking into sponsoring motorsport teams soon, their brand name is really fitting, "Aero"press. lol

When the trucks hit their stride was when Gurney’s AAR team finally figured out their IMSA package, and then Rod Millen used those turbo motors in his Pikes Peak cars

Great video, I have owned quite a few SR5's 4x4 PU's. A first gen 4 Runner, 2nd and 3rd gens and a handfull of LCs. Recently found a 87 Fj62 so its now sitting in my shop. No rust 68K miles last on the road in 1998.

This makes my 1997 Toyota Tacoma water gasket very happy. Don't look up "1997 Toyota Tacoma water gasket."

every body knows toyota goes HARD.

Great video man, got me re stoked on my old yota and hopefully the new ones will be capable.

I was waiting for some content on the new X-Runner, its engine and Specs. I guess I’ll have to wait for the next episode!! 😂 That one will be a beast for sure!!

I grew up in a 70's Hilux, lived in Australia where I owned and worked out of 3 different 70-series Cruisers and now, back in the States I drive an 06 TRD Tundra DC and own 3 other Toyota 4wd's (1st Gen 4Runner on 38's a 2nd Gen 4Runner with a JDM 1KZT diesel swap and a 55-series Cruiser project truck). I love my Toyota trucks.

It’s always good when Albon uploads!!! Thanks

Toyota technicals did it for me ❤️

Great video. I love my 2019 Tundra TRD Pro for all the performance goodies it comes with and its reliability. Funny how the end of the video it talks about Mitsubishi, and I also own an Evo 9.

amazing car and an amazing RU-vid creator

"HILUX STOP REVVING LOW AND GET GOIN UP THIS HILL FAST!" "OK ill make my way up now"

Saw this in my feed, I was shocked to see my truck with the TRD Supercharger on it in the video @ 9:59 Crazy

Great video as always! Hilux is also famous in my country that many mining companies use it to get around there.

Way before I got into cars custom mini trucks where my first passion I remember seeing a late 80’s Toyota Pickup bagged, tucking billet wheels, c-notched frame, black with green tribal graphics, and a bumping stereo system 🔥 as a kid I thought it was coolest thing that I had ever seen

Love my 2007 sr5 5.7 second owner still rocking at 250k miles

glad you hit on the trekker but you missed the trailblazer and the custom cabs. and the t100

Holy shit a youtube sponsor I can confirm is totally legit. Love my aeropress. Probably the greatest coffee maker ever engineered.

Only Toyota will not make you overthinking about repair and maintenance costs. because of it's reliable and dependable product

Your videos are always great bro, amazing in details.

@Albon Wonderful work on your improvement. You have grown! 🏍🏍🏎🏎

I've always loved Toyota pick up trucks but Iv loved them more thanks to you Albon😂😂😂

historic car tubers have a special space in my feed. ya'll keep me belivin in the industry.

From someone who lived during this era. Let me tell you, that "DATSUN" was the biggest seller, back in the day. I can remember driving over the Bay Bridge into S.F. and seeing the "DATSUNS" all over the deck of the ships, and the "beds" of them, off to the side. Datsun was the KING.......back in the '70's.

I absolutely love my 2010 Tundra 5.7 4x4 the power and reliability are unmatched.

Looking good for Toyota so far, the reliability of the turbo 4 cylinder engine will be what makes or breaks them in the truck market.

That purple taco is gorgeous.

Good. Thanks. Merry Christmas.

our family brought in two turbo powered forunners through canada . fun learning to drive in kilometers

I love my Yota Hilux and his 22R. 40 years old and still does the job and it is funny how my ford-250 is rusting in the garage lol

Albon, the movie back to the future surely had a positive impact on sales, too...🎉

Amazing video ! keep it up !

Awesome video! But what about the incoming legacy the 2025 Toyota Stout?

I dail my 86 4*420r i replace back in 88 to the 20r i love ❤❤❤

What is that music that starts around 8:40? It sounds very familiar and it is killing me! Lol

This channel has basically become the new Up To Speed.

I wish we got the 70 series pickups here in the US. Would completely change the truck market. Especially if you could get that sassy 4.5 turbo diesel V8

Really love your videos and story telling bro. Thoughts on Lewis going to Ferrari in 2025?

Ivan "Ironman" Stewarts Super Offroad Racing! That arcade game ate hundreds of dollars worth of my quarters over the years

Albon you should do a video on the dakar rally that would be sick.

Everybody that I know that has had Toyota vehicles has been relatively happy & reliable vehicles growing up. 25-30yrs later i drive a Tacoma

Quality video as always 👍🏻

0:28 Midsize? ●_● that is quite a big truck, isn't it?

Another great video!

First Albon video watched. Subbed!

Only Toyota has vehicles from the 80's, 90's & early 2000's from all model years still on the road being beaten within an inch of it's life & still running. I'm my country at least.

I live in rural SW England, which is "Pick up country" here in the UK. If I won the lottery tomorrow, the only brand new car I'd by is an oak green Hi Lux invincible. We dont get yank trucks but I'm not fussed because who can they be better than a Hi Lux?

Hey, good video, but kind of 50/50. It's a bit more complicated than that, but you made some good points, with a decent conclusion that came back around and tied into your intro. I get it, it's a short video and Toyota hype is what gets the views. But you know Toyota began by learning from Ford. I know you know, because you've made videos showing Toyota's beginning. Americans and Germans were pioneers, and learned from each other, while the Brits, French, and Italians learned from them, Japan shortly thereafter. You are not wrong, in regard to trucks, that Toyota and Ford are neck and neck now. So many good points, but also so many skewed interpretations. Yes, Toyota learned from their mistakes and started to make solid/reliable engines, as did the other big name Japanese companies, which is why the 90s and early-to-mid 00's is generally referred to as the Golden Years for Japanese auto manufacturers. You also slighted Cal Wells and the American Team that helped put Toyota on the map with those endurance races. Arguably, the 5vz-fe is just as American, as it is Japanese, because of Iron Man Stewart putting the 3vz-fe through its paces. "Geriatric V6?" Did you not learn anything from 'The Tortoise and the Hare"? An engine that lasts well over 250,000mi, especially in a truck, is the baseline. That should be the standard. Yes, the 2UZ had more HP and has been put through the gauntlet but the fuel consumption is not enticing. That fuel consumption is now on par with American and German vehicles now, which is not Japanese philosophy at all. But you know the saying about displacement. Rarely does anyone need that much power unless they are actually in an industry where that torque is required. It's good to see Toyota staying competitive throughout this era of hyper consumerism, but arguably not their core philosophy. Customers loved the idea of the small compact size, utilitarian nature, fuel economy, and affordability of Japanese vehicles; however, vehicles in the U.S. have always been part practicality / part status symbol. Now exacerbated by the Internet and TV. Nowadays most Americans, sell and trade up every 5-10 years to keep up with the Jonse's. Which is bad for the planet but can be a good thing if you are in the market for a newer Toyota, but don't want to pay double than what you paid in 2003. I suppose you can factor in inflation, technology improvements, more aluminum parts, so I get it. If you were one of the thoughtful customers of the late 90's/early 00's who purchased a Toyota truck for ≤ $30k, then you are a bit spoiled, because you have had no need to buy anything new, and probably won't have to for a few more years or so. I like how Toyota and Honda brought their parts into the U.S. and assembled 'em here to make them "made in America Trucks". And then Ford and GM were like "Yea, well, we will have our parts made in China, Canada, and Mexico for our American Trucks" to stay competitive in response. That would be a good jab you can tease 'em with. You know, every vehicle has their pro's and con's. Toyota's lightweight nature makes them hard to control in a pouring rainstorm, whereas the heavier American trucks do quite well in the rain, because of the weight. I definitely wouldn't want to be in a heavier vehicle once it loses traction and lets loose though! I also don't know if big weight and mud is a good thing, which is probably why they showed that Raptor full sending it to get over a small embankment, because if they don't send it, they'll sink fast. The Raptor can also do 100-110mph in the pouring rain, on a paved highway quite well, due to technology improvements. Will be funny to watch those giant/heavy electric battery vehicles sink in the mud as well, although will probably do quite well in rainstorms on a paved highway. Tires also play an important part in all of this. All companies borrow from each other nowadays, so brand names really don't mean anything anymore. Everyone is going V6 or 4cyl turbo for fuel economy. Electric too. Once you build a few vehicles, it's hard to pay anything over $30k for a car/truck, unless it's a rare classic. Vehicles are a bit played out now, traffic sucks, maybe it's time to get into Boats and Airplanes.

Try putting a 72" plow on the front end. Hit a curb and what what happens.. LMFAO 😅

I'll stay with my 2010 4.0 V6 6 speed manual TRD Offroad Tacoma ! It has a now 4 year old frame and only 130k miles.

As a kid the first time I saw the Toyota stadium truck racing is when I thought trucks are awesome.

...You missed the short lived T100.

is the Hi-Lux still avaliable in the US market or did they remove it years ago? every time I have been to the US I havent seen a Hi-Lux made in the last 30 years compared to Australia where all you see is Hi-Lux's

Is Hyundai-KIa planning to release more trucks?

Every time you said lb ft it made me think ft lb, it must be what I've seen on my torque wrenches. But I love Toyotas.

i wish we got all the cars and diesel trucks that toyota has overseas.

Everybody wanted a Delorean but all I wanted was Marty Mcflys Toyota SR5 pickup lol.

Well done sir.

Love my Aeropress, best tasting coffee. For me it competes with any other snobby, and much more expensive, method of making coffee.

When i was a kid i had the lambo poster of the red and black diablo and a 82 black single cab short box yota i am so glad to fet my yota over the lambo

Hear me out...ALBON POSTED🦅🦅🔥🔥

A LOT of us miss the Small Hilux Toyota pickups. The Tacoma’s are nice, but they’re a Mid-sized pickup. The Smaller Hilux is just the perfect size for our needs.

"...sending power to whatever wheels you select..." I SELECT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR DRIVER SIDE!

Rod Millen should get a mention

This guys need to do some research on what came of the hilux and Land Cruiser in Australia.

In racing "continuous improvement" isn't a buzzword, it's what you eat, sleep and breathe.

I've owned and enjoyed a Toyota vehicle since 1971. Celica's, Tacoma's, Corolla's and Avalon's. They have been and are still bullet proof and retain their value. Now the more you make and sell will stack the odds of perfection against you . BUT like no other company I can think of. When Toyota hit a problem of quality conundrum They addressed it and fixed it.

toyota for the win

In Japan the business philosophy is called Kaizen.

It's got to do with reliably.. 👍

hi albon .. why dont you do some documentaries about other nations and their cars. i love oyur style of documentary .. but why dont you do something about lets say "skoda" and their rally run .. or about some german car manufacturers and their rich history. i dont even know if VW has a motorsport department! do they? i mean ofcourse its up to you .. but i would loooove to see you doing some other nations .. the british .. the australian! and somehow im personally interested in skoda and VW motorsport ... and no .. i drive a ford :D !!! :D !!!

i totally forgot until now but there was even a toyota truck in toy story lol

It's great to see Alex Albon making RU-vid vids during the off season

great video

What about the T100 that came before the tundra in the USA

Very well written

Toyota really is on top rn, the car Im looking to get from them is the GR Corolla

7:23 the 3.0L was an absolute dog and everybody hates that thing

17:09 If only Toyota had considered the damaging effects of LSPI when they decided to put the V35A-FTS in the Tundra. Sad when guys post their used oil analysis and see silver levels begin to climb and there's nothing they can do to stop the engine from blowing up.

"leave the manual for something without a bed" tell me you have never towed without telling me you never towed

The only true testament to Toyota's quality is looking at how many of the oldies still drive around in their Hilux or Land Cruiser form in war torn/poor/3rd world countries ....

Sick!
