TOYOTA TUNDRA REVIEW- BEST YEARS TO BUY! 

Had the Ford F150 eco boost,, worse truck period.. in and out of the shop . syn system garbage and the eco boost major issues.

You are so funny, but very true.

@@geneseminoleranger7773 I wish all the owners and all the potential owners viewed this comment of yours because wherever I go everybody tells that new Ford F150 trucks are the best pickup trucks that mankind have ever created and Toyota trucks are good but they are medieval garbage

You haven’t a clue… Change your oil.

Nice! What color?

@@checkitout2468 White

We’re did you find it?

2011 didn’t come with most of those options lol

@@Moelester692 Is that a fact? I drive it everyday while you sit on your ass commenting about things you don't know. It has everything I mentioned.

Those long beds are hard to find. My 2015 tacoma had a long bed but I traded up for a 2016 tundra crew cab.

💯

Thank you for the positive feedback! If there’s any other specific videos you would like me to consider making, let me know.

I think they'll be highly sought after relics that'll go for good money

@@xk302a Chevy has a 4 cylinder turbo engine as well. Ram doesn’t have anything besides the eco diesel or hemi because the hemi is a crutch. My dealership told me they are eliminating the v8 and going 3.4 twin turbo v6.

@@xk302a I was hoping they were going to keep it and modernize it for more power and fuel economy too but I don’t think that’s the case. I’m trying to decide right now if I want the outdated 2021 with a v8 or go with Fords 5.0.

Considering you can get a V8 on the F-150, Ram, and Silverado I really doubt that Toyota will do away with their V8 entirely.

How will that be possible when they eventually jack gasoline up to $25 a gallon!?

Me too! 😀🙌

Yes! I completely agree. It seems like there should be storage underneath the backseat or behind the backseat…

@@checkitout2468 my 2020 TRD OFF ROAD has under seat storage in the rear seat.

They're called Metallic Chips

5000$ Dealer markup above msrp, but you are also 100% right ;((((((((((((

Great info, thanks for sharing. I wish the new tundra still had the transmission cooler, that makes me skeptical. Thank you for the positive comment. 👍😎

@@checkitout2468 TFL cars did a testing on towing without the trans cooler there is like 30F in difference, and they did a test on other band of trucks only have 5F difference with the cooler! Toyota said it doesn’t hurt the transmission! But I still worry about the longevity of the transmission!

Yeah! That’s why we love Toyota, lasts forever... Have a great day.

Congrats! Good job finding a ‘21 Platinum… Those are hard to find right now.

@@checkitout2468 Yes! It was their last 21 platinum I got so lucky! It's all white and someone had already drove it 4K miles so it's still super low and the best part is they already tinted the windows so I didn't have to do that!

Enjoy my friend. You have one of the last of the best trucks ever made…

@@checkitout2468 Yo I appreciate that! Thank you! Plan on keeping this baby for a long journey!

Part of the reason I went to the Platinum is the better seats. My lower back acts up on road trips. So far the Platinum seats are great, no back issues. The truck is not loud at all, with the exception of the engine and exhaust.. which should be the same on all trim levels with the exception of the PRO. Overall very quiet for a 1/2 ton truck. make sure the Limited has BSM and dimming side mirrors. Game changers for road trips. If you like the chrome look, consider the Limited. Otherwise the Platinum is the way to go IMO. Have fun with it.

Exactly!

Pretty close, I believe I was 55 out the door. When I purchased it three months ago they were not budging on the price. Some dealers were even adding on to the sticker. The two options that mine came with that I really like are the spray in bed liner and the power locking tailgate.

I do have that things included too, I got that on 11/30 but thank you anyway for sharing the information

Thanks for the feedback, I’m starting to look at suspension now. What would you recommend? I’m on the road 90% of the time and I like softer suspension.

If thats the case leave shocks alone and just do the lift level kit.(fit slightly bigger tires if wanted different stance.) want something that rips and have cash to make it happen get a camburg setup with any shock upgrades.camburg.com/vehicles/toyota/ . Or go with a lift that gives you what you want and good shocks. Icon old man emu stuff tons of options for your money.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-baXIKlRIeK8.html&feature=share depends on how wild or mild your willing to go.

Thanks man. Great stuff. Did you build that truck?

No but have helped put some together similar but that one is running camburg parts. I believe upgraded long travel shocks from kings. Just depends on what you wanted but a good lift with upgrades is going to go a long way on an already capable truck. Good luck!

Thanks for this comment! If you have any other advice I am all ears. I checked out those tires (Cooper at3 xlt) the look great. I’m still trying to figure out if I want to redo all of the suspension, Lift it, (if so how much), wheel size etc.

@@checkitout2468 i know tundra dude did the trd swap and it was quite expensive i leveled mine twice before i finally did a propper lift. I did bilstein 5100 rode awful. Spacers rode worse then lifted it it rode awesome other hard lessons learned 20 inch wheels will always ride worse than 18 s and tires and tire pressure are important to a good ride. I drive alot of highway so 80 all say. Toyo at 2 s were loud and honestly terrible all around wet traction and high speed stuff, bfg s were awesome ridge grapplers were great but i like white lettering because i am 41 and it is just cool to me. And i also like things made in America so i tried the coopers. They are as quiet as stock i have a 250 powerstroke not unfortunately. They had same fuel mileage as stock and i went up 10 on size and i go 80-85 everywhere and they handle better than stock. Thats my review on them. But may trade my superduy soon for another tundra. If i coukd get the trd without that exhaust i would do that

@@WinningDeadlyEncounters Awesome! Thanks for the details. I drove an F250 crew cab as a work truck for 8 years. I loved that truck. I bought it used and ended up selling it with 275,000 miles on it. It was still working great but no longer needed.

Final note, after driving the F250 these Tundras are definitely step down in size. Not necessarily a bad thing but certainly smaller in overall truck size and especially the bed.

You’re right! Tundras need decent tires. I had a 13 and it ate tires. Nothing was wrong it’s just an old heavy design. It has too much plastic now but they all do. Enjoy it.

I’m with you on that my friend. How did you like the truck? You going to purchase?

Nice, black looks great too. I like the NRGs. Check out 88rottors YT channel. They lift a lot of Tundras. Mostly putting 3-1 lifts with 35s. I can't decide if I want to go that big...

Id say it is . I order one as well 2021 sr5 trd/sport package Very simple trim , yet very functional , it gave me everything I was looking for on a pick up truck and a bit more . If I were into electronics , air ride suspention etc etc i would of got me an escalade , but no ! I want a truck with a truck taste not a truck that looks like a fancy suv. So , yeah ...tundras are worth every penny . ( just my opinion bud )

I also got a 2021 Crewmax sport. Love it. The whole family loves it. The 38 gallon tank is a plus too. Not sure what other trucks offer. The rear window open/close is a cool feature. Insane room in the backseat area. 👍

Pretty close. The exterior of the 1794 comes with a lot of chrome. The front end etc. If you like that look it’s an excellent choice. Very close to the same price as a Platinum.

It's a western/ranch theme. Comparable to the Ford F150 King Ranch trim.

Awesome! That’s a great truck.

The Rams are great trucks too. I have one that's 17 years old. Like tundra's also

I have the crewmax and wish i had bought the dbl cab with the 6,5 foot bed.5.5 is about useless

@@RM....., you are absolutely correct. I would have loved the CrewMax, however, that small bed killed the deal. I went with the Double Cab w/ the 6.5 and absolutely love it!

because the crewmax looks so perfect. That's just my opinion tho, what would you usually put in your bed?

@@jiggymario8161 Being a Truck, for weekends I use mine carrying Lumber, Plywood, Firewood, Bags of Stone, Shingles, Topsoil, 4-Wheeler, and for work hauling Pumps, Motors, Pump Assemblies, Mixers and other assorted industrial pieces of equipment. Any Crewmax might as well be called a glorified station wagon.

@@jiggymario8161 Oh Mario, what do you put in your box?

The platinum has a several things the TRD pro does not. Blindspot monitoring, cross traffic alert, better seats, etc.

Good question, maybe I should make a video on this? The long and short is that the platinum and 1794 are very similar. They are both well appointed with all the bells and whistle‘s etc. Most of the major differences are aesthetics. The interior of the 1794 is a tan leather. Most people seem to either love it or hate it. Also, the 1794 comes with a significant amount of chrome on the exterior especially the front end. Again, most people seem to love the chrome or hate the chrome. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one of these trucks.👍

Dang! Sorry! That is such a bummer. You should check the manufacturing date, I wonder if it’s a Covid truck. I’ve heard that there was lots of temporary workers filling in during the early stages of Covid. Manufacturing may not have been as solid. The headliner issue is across the board, all the new truck seem to have that same issue. The other issues seem like they should be fixed. I found a few little things about my truck but nothing too big.

You'll get at a minimum of 500,000,000 miles. Why are you complaining?

@gringo grande I was hoping he was just being sarcastic 🤣

Yep. 2008 TRD 5.7 with 237K. Looks great. Drives like new. Love it! Keeping forever, Lord willing.

Hey, 38 gallon tank at least lol

Wow! Thank you for your honesty. I would suggest the TRD pro or get a Platinum throw an extra 6000 at it and make a platinum pro.👍

You must never have had a Tundra! Tundra’s brakes are fantastic, as is the firm cornering and ride.

@@davehudson4607 have 3 tundra's 2006, 2014, 2018. Still own all of them. The front rotors all had issues.

@@aceyorba What kind of issues? I’m getting around 70K+ between servicing brakes.

@@davehudson4607 if you don't have hills or grades in your area.you will be fine. The rotors will warp very easy under any heat. Have gone to slotted, drilled heavy duty rotors on all My Tundras. 70k miles is great on 1 set of original disk pads..

@@aceyorba Good to know. Mine is a 2010, 220K miles, we have plenty of hilly county, but I rarely carry a heavy load. I have only used Toyota original replacement parts once, and I didn’t like them. Long ago, can’t remember what the problem was.

I hear what you are saying. I also really like the look of the new Chevy. It’s the reliability that I’m worried about with Chevy,,,

What are you talking about? These trucks have the highest standard towing you can get in a 1/2 ton. 10,000 LBS towing capacity. Yeah that's just terrible.

@@lordofreason549 lol dude I said payload. You must not know much about trucks or can’t read very well.

When I listen back, I couldn’t agree more.😎👍
