@@Incalvideo Im not a worker inside the industry, so yeah, i dont know exactly who does the fake vents and exhausts. But designers draw the car, other people fill in the vents and exhausts which looks horible. The vents are ok, u sometimes can only see with the "stick of truth" , but winter, think about u see a really good looking car with 4 exhaust in front of you and only see one smoke coming from left. Cringe
Dontcallmeshirley similar to how we’re in the 21st century, we’re currently in the 21st year of this century. And that means we’re in the first year of this decade.
It still looks and feels the exact same as that one *2007 Tundra* that did one million miles. Which is problematic since it's not far off in price (at least with the 1794 Edition) than the RAM and its decadent display (and improving reliability)... 😷
vishagan sheagar it doesn’t have to be. but for some people luxury plays an important role in making a decision which car to go for, hence why he’s mentioning it
No you're right it doesn't need to be luxurious as it is a functional truck. But what a new vehicle should be when you think you're buying a something that is new... is made with modern tech and finish. 10 year old infotainment and cheap plastics dont cut it.
Not everyone searches for the same criteria you do, maybe some people only care for luxury, performance, or interior quality. And to be honest reliability can't be precisely measured on a brand new car, no matter how good or bad it's predecessors were.
Ffs it's like 31k for the base model and it literally has tech from 10 years ago, that's a ripoff , that's what toyota has became, overpriced and featureless cars in the name of reliability, i would rather get a Hyundai accent base model and it'll still have more features than this 31k shit box
For those who're comparing this to Toyota Hilux y'all are missing the biggest detail. Hilux is in the same category as Toyota Tacoma which is a midsize pickup category. Whereas Tundra is far larger and more powerful than both Hilux and Tacoma. So yes, Toyota Tundra is the most reliable full size pickup on the planet!!
Been working in an auto shop for quite some time. Tundras come into the shop for oil changes/maintenance….meanwhile rams and f150 get towed in way too often. It’s a solid truck. Hands down reliable.
Maybe because Toyota makes dull boring cars that are out dated by 5-10 years. People continue to buy Toyotas mostly from brand reputation and under the premise they will be more reliable than other similar cars which in some cases is deserved but not always.
Allan Doy I’m talking about Toyota’s quality in terms of comfort and performance, the brand lacks both. Volks and other cheap brands are getting much better than Toyota in those areas. I don’t see why people always bring up reliability here?

The “decade” part of the title went over so many heads, given that there’s only been about 40 days of this decade then its probably not even a lie to say that it’s the worst.
And lets be fair reviewers act as though the aftermarket hasn't been able to supply us with infotainment that's upgraded. 700 bucks will get you every piece of tech wanted in these trucks. Lots of folks just get the Phoenix android radio's out there and they bring a ton of features most manufacturers don't include. Like really for all the bills saved on maintenance, spend to make vehicles your own. Same reason I bought an 05GX to play off road with, and now it has 200k on the clock. Still no issues heading off road. And the infotainment took a back seat with the advent of modern phones. But that's just me,
@@viralityfactor987 simple solution that so many make out to be an impossible task. They act as though the infotainment can never be changed or upgraded.
Yes it’s so outdated and old fashioned that I just bought my second one. My 07 with 250k miles only replaced the alternator. The tundra will outlast the domestics both in drivetrain and interior twice as long. So yes not super high tech, luxurious or a perfect ride but very dependable which means a lot to many consumers like me.
I agree with you. Today, importance is in the order of: Tech. Looks, the bigger the wheels the better. Ride, a 4x4 truck should ride & handle like a car. Power, thinking Turbo's are free power, ignorant of increased intake pressures & temperatures, that generally shortening engine life. They think Direct Injection is the best fuel injection since reviewers and advertisements say so, and not really researching to discover the carbon build up issues, that are even worse if Turbo Charged. Most people aren't aware, or would even see the significance of having both Port & Direct Injection. I don't mean to be to hard on people, since I think this is the result of the intentional dumbing down of society, courtesy of the so called elites.
SkrtSkrttt pulls my boat very nicely. Truck has plenty of power for most applications. I’ve got a some friends with their domestics and they keep commenting how they like my 2020 Tundra and the Toyota safety sense and plenty techy. And it’s a simple SR5 SX 4x4 $36k our the door. And they know there’s a good chance it will outlast their trucks by a good many miles. Last 07 tundra 250k hard miles only changed the starter out. If your not terribly rich and smart with your $ consider Toyota.
Yeah... that kind of becomes a moot point when a car is ancient in design. Like the Frontier, or the 370z, or Gt86, or really any Japanese car that is 10+ years into its design cycle
@@visionist7 It's a talk-show convention: guests (be them cars or trucks) are just a background for a host to shine against, not the other way around... ;)
If you hotshot with it where it's all highway miles with fewer heat cycles. The two tundras that hit that million mile mark we're both hotshotters. Daily driving with them won't let them see the back side of 250,000 without massive maintenance
@@detroitdiesel-vu3ig Why do you think that? I painted a Tundra that had almost 1.2 million miles and it wasn't one of the two RU-vid ones, but obviously there are lots of million mile Tundras. My 2012 has 264,000 and I have replaced the battery, tires six or seven times, brakes 5 times and the belt tensioner pulley, I have jumped it a few times, drive it very hard and pull a 9600 lb travel trailer at least 2000 miles/year.
@@dutchynehtam find me an ecoboost (what im assuming original comment was referencing) with 300k+ miles. Or for that matter, a million, like three 4.7 tundras have hit.
@@miggyv6856 exactly ! Lol you speak the truth. I work in a shop, and They’re always leaking on the turbo lines. Coolant leaks etc. can’t beat a simple N/A V8 !
When was a truck supposed to be about luxury and "features". Let's talk about reliability. Toyota will outlive both the F150 and the Siverado COMBINED.
Elvis Megabrain No, I just hate how they say other trucks are better because they have more features. You choose what’s best for you, but reliability is one of the most important aspects of a truck in my opinion. Does this truck need to be redesigned? Yes. But does that make it the “Worst car I’ve reviews this decade? No
Chris James I don’t disagree with you. Toyota needs to redesign this truck. But to go out with such a bold claim of “Worst Car I’ve reviewed this decade” because “features”. It just aggravates me. All I know is that the iForce V8 is damn near indestructible. If you want to talk about a really outdated truck, look at the Nissan Frontier.
I’ve had 4 f150’s and my ‘18 Tundra is the best truck I’ve ever owned. It has the best quality, reliability and dependability, not to mention great resale. I wish the mileage was better, but that is my only complaint.
asad khan well to be fair the g wagon only kept certain elements and that square overall shape. Pretty much 99% of that car changed. They really put a lot of effort into making the g wagon a new car while maintaining its dna. Thats not the same as keeping everything as it was.
@A real bisexual petrol-head No, car manufacturers should stop using these hard plastics even for cars around the 10k price point. They are a thing of the past now
You’re forgetting reliability Matt. Many of these Tundras live over a 1,000,000 miles and that’s real. It’s a truck after all reliability is what matters most not the luxurious seats...etc.
probably in the minority here but i actually really hate when the back up camera guidelines wiggle left and right. it really throws me off. that settles it. TUNDRA it is!
I've said this before and I say it again, your reviews are easily the best ones on RU-vid. Now, it would be nice if you could make some reviews on the used market, like, the best cars you can get for every price range, including their reliability record over the years (which is not possible to know on new cars).
He acted like it was such a pain to do that review. Have some respect Matt geez. That truck is the only truck you’ll review that will last a decade lol
Jarrod hazell my point is trucks are WORK vehicles that are meant to be used and abused. Not every truck that is used heavily will last 10 years. Toyota has proven time and time again that they have the best reliability.
We loved taking the TRD Pro Tundra out to the sand dunes. It's old and a little quirky with terrible fuel mileage, but it is very stout and has a history of great reliability.
Agreed with ONE glaring exception.....in their infinite wisdom, they decided to continue to offer it with drum brakes in the rear instead of disc on all corners. No thanks. Fix that and I’m in for one in Army green!
N Baldo ...and the reason being? TFL truck did a video and outright asked the chief engineer for the Taco why and he basically danced around the issue. Drums are known to be better at stopping very heavy loads but the Taco can’t tow or haul into that load range. My FJ has disks on all four corners so there is no reason the Tacoma shouldn’t. Edited to add: the “cost and reliability” answer is b.s. because the 4Runner and even Tundra have discs. The argument that they are more protected when off roaring is also b.s. because the FJ is just as capable off road. So...again, Toyota...update the Tacoma already.
I like his reviews, but when it comes to Japanese cars, he is just being anti and hateful or negative about them. That’s makes Matt less reliable car journalist.
@@APDesignFXP Most cars from those brands (admittedly, not all) tend to be built on cheaper architectures than European models: for instance, they usually have a transverse engine, which ends up in a worse weight distribution. They're also leaning more towards comfort, penalizing driving dynamics. Toyota usually uses CVT on its Lexus cars, which makes them less responsive and slower. To answer your question, I was in the market for a 2-door coupe. I saw Toyota's Lexus RC, but it wasn't really on par with its German rivals: it had a CVT, lower quality interiors and less features than an A5 or series 4, not to mention its tacky exterior design.
10:07 that was dramatic, pull yourself in gripping onto the steering wheel. There’s no steering wheel anywhere else that’s why all the passengers have handles on top.
In the US we love trucks here. That’s why the F150 is the number one selling vehicle in the US. We also have very wide roads in the US. Also the Tundra is the most reliable large truck you can buy!!
The tundra hasn't changed at all it is still the best - mines 12 years old 200000 miles and no break downs, no check engine lights, and it drives better than my brothers 2019 ram
Own an 09' Tundra. Since 2012 Toyota made the Tundra the victim of corporate bean counters & it is now one of the most basic trucks on the market. But still it's reliability is unbeatable.
The real numbers show that he Tundra is by far the most reliable 1/2 ton pickup on the road today. Yes, they are behind in technology compared to the other brands. But they give almost no trouble and run almost forever. Several have hit a million miles now on the original engine. I have an '08 Tundra Limited with the 5.7. It has 115,000 miles on it and I've done brakes, replaced the serpentine belt and changed the spark plugs. Never been back to the dealer. Oh and, it still runs like a scalded dog! I'm hanging onto it.
