Just have the dealer put it on a lift so you can check for rust on the frame!! Also they do not have a trans cooler, so be aware if you are going to tow! I have a 2020 Tundra and so far it has been flawless, but I only have 42K on it! Also cam tower leaks I believe were a known defect on some 2021s. @@jacobhillanbrand7988
Consumer reports did not like the 2014 Tundra and cited its gas consumption and older transmission. Brought that truck anyway and it worked flawlessly.
They'll work out the kinks just like the 1st gen I never realized how many are still out there I still see the very first T100s at least once a week on my roads Toyota doesn't water down reliability because they bring to the Texas plant the same manufacturing process reputation from their Japan plants their chief engineers regularly evaluate all plants across Mexico and Texas I don't recall any Canada plants I'm the 5th owner of a 2012 Tundra 111k miles just doing regular maintenance and replaced the OEM shock/struts myself
I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro with 40,000 miles and have zero issues. My last truck was a 2016 Ford F-150 and I had a list of problems. These trucks aren’t cheap and knowing how well these last gen tundras are just solidifies me on keeping mine for a very long time.
Note: all other truck companies in America use two piston caliper on their brakes, Tundra use’s four piston calipers and bigger disks. ( at 112,000miles) replaced brake pads and rotors, while changing rotors found passenger side wheel bearings little grinding sound, replaced both front wheel bearings , replaced spark plugs at 110,000 . I STILL have OEM Toyota battery (8 years old and still going strong!)
I have The Michelin LTX ms also on my 19 SRS Crew TRD Good longevity and decent in the snow I tow 1-3 Snowmobiles and TRD off road pkg comes with heated seats in Hockey Country. Keep the V8 boys Shes a big sexy strong girl ☮️❤️🇨🇦
Another great video as usual. Ever since I got my Tundra I haven’t looked back and I look forward to many happy years ahead, along with eventually getting a travel trailer. Love the rv videos too. My dad has the same Michelin’s on his Silverado and he swears by them. They have done well in all settings for the most part, even off road. Truck looks great.
What a beautiful Tundra!!! Looks great!! 😍 I have 2 of them one for work and and other for family.. Soon will have a relics don't care if out dated. They do more than alot more than you 🤔 think 🤔 f150 and f250 don't have reliability turbos go out or soon. F-250 death wable transmission and engine. Good review!!
Thanks for doing this review. I just bought one of this generation of Tundra and plan on using it primarily to tow a 7000 lbs GVWR trailer. I'm happy to see and hear about how well yours has held up doing a similar task.
2022 SR5 Owner. Previously a 2014, and a 2005, plus a bunch of Tacos. This 3rd gen Tunda is a disappointment. Mostly because of the rear leg room in a double cab (zero inches), and the repeated failure of a drivers side seat cover panel. The 2 Gen Tundra was a perfect machine. Miss it.
Hold on to this jewel as long as you are comfortable with! Only 80K miles means you know the devil you have instead of going Big $$$ for a show truck. Good review coverage.
I have a 2019 tundra sr5 175k miles. Everything is arigenal, except the breaks and tires. . Runs like new still . Best truck, I ever owned, and it was made in America. All the other trucks are not made in America.
I am a big fan of the 2nd gen Tundra and that is why I bought the 21 Tundra. But if I have to buy a new truck now, it will be the Chevy Silverado with the 3.0L Diesel. I would never consider the 3rd gen Tundra; Toyota screwed up big time with that one.
I got a 2012 Tundra, & I used it for hotshot work. I went coast to coast & border to border 6 times a year. The only problem I had was the Secondary Cold Air Intake went bad/ That was $4,000 repair. other than that, it still runs great. Drive safe. 🤠
I still have my '00 tundra. I hardly ever tow with it. Not since my folks did camping trips. That's been 10 years. I don't camp anymore since they quit. They gettin old and not as healthy as they used to be. I've no family of my own. My next vehicle might be a 4runner. They're rock solid. Last of the dinosaurs. Hopefully I get one before they change their design. I'll keep my old tundra. Usually hauling off junk or brush occasionally.
It was pretty cool to listen about problems this gentleman had in 120k miles of ownership, while myself is thinking of getting rid of my 2022 f150 with only 44k kms ( not even 30k miles), with 5 transmission related appointments ( last one cdf drum tsb which is pretty much a rebuild) and a valve body replacement before that. On top of that, active grill shutters died in the first year, fog light replaced, recalls and some electronic gremlins ( screen doesn't respond, power windows don't respond, but go back after truck restart) - Built Tough, LOL... Anyway great Tundra. I was thinking about getting a 2022 tundra when buying a an F150, but didn't like that one. Considering getting a 2021 now. Great to hear you've enjoyed your truck all this miles. Thanks!
I have a 2015 Tundra bought new I just turned 307,000 zero issues, just change the starter last week. I tow a travel trailer as well keep up on the maintenance run good oil and gas they will last a long time. My last Tundra before this one had 342,000 on it when I trade it off.
I had 2 Tundras that I used for my business. Towing often and work projects but always on top of all the maintenance. The 2010 one I had to change the radiator,AIP and steering pump all between 130-140K miles. Still all around reliable. Sold it cause I needed an HD truck this year. The other one (2016 DC) has 70K miles and I had to replace a pinion flange seal. It starter leaking making a mess back there. I still have it as a second work truck and hope that it won't give me many issues in the future. Just my experience with them
Great content sir. I have an 18 sr5 that's been to Vancouver and back to TO then I bought it and went back a d forth to Newbrunswick to our house. No problems. Coast to coast in Canada.
excellent review. Really enjoyed it. I am towing a lot as well, and currently do so with a 2015 F150 3.5 Ecoboost. Have been extremely happy with it. Did decide to take a 2023 Tundra for a test drive recently, as I had really liked the previous generation of Tundra (like yours). That test drive basically confirmed that it is highly unlikely that a new generation Tundra will be my next truck. My 8 model year old F150 rides smoother, has more power and is quieter than the new Tundra, and I don't feel like I am in some sort of giant plastic lego set. I really think Toyota has taken a step backwards with this new truck. In any case, hoping to run my current truck a few more years yet, and I guess we will see what Toyota has done by then... As always, safe travels....
Haha, if I were to need a new 1/2 Truck today, I was thinking GMC Baby Duramax or RAM ecodiesel. But the Other day I say ann F150 Poerboost with the 6 1/2 bed and 77.2kW generator. That'd might be the answer. But truly, I like all trucks.
@@kedrevs4037 I agree with you, both the GMC and especially the Ram ecodiesel look like darn nice trucks. That F150 with the generator does look like a nice unit too. Great aid for boondocking for sure. I must say I enjoy my 6.5' bed. When travelling I have 2 bicycles, 2 sets of golf clubs, 2 clickgear golf trollies, an extra propane tank, a spare battery, a bag of charcoal and a toolbox all nicely in there. Would be quite the 3D tetris to get all that into a 5.5' box. That is one smart thing Toyota did this go around, making a 6.5 box available on the largest cab. It makes for a long truck, mine is 243", but I love the space in the cab and box. A buddy of mine recently picked up a new Tundra with just the extended cab and a 6.5 box. He is 6'4" and his back seat is basically useless. less than 1 inch of knee room when he puts the front seat in a comfy position for himself.
The 2nd Gen Tundra is a perfect example of Toyota over engineering its trucks because they have a reputation to live up to. They are also the underdog compared to Dodge Ford and GM.
I have a 2018 Platinum with 61,000 miles. Although I don't tow with it, the truck looks brand new. It. has one place with a scratch you have to know where it is to see it. Those that say it looks dated, screw them and their opinion. That truck is one of a kind that most would sell their wife to own. Just kidding. I love the way it looks, drives and with the TRD exhaust, sounds great. I did one up date you may won't to do to your truck. I replaced all of the interior lights with LED bulbs. Boy does that light it up. I have the black interior just like yours and yes, I do my best not to slide across the seat.
Thanks for the update on you 5.7 Tundra.....I have a 2020 TRD PRO and just love it. Wasn't even interested in the new 2022's. Reference your brakes...did you just replace the pads? I see some people doing a "Brake upgrade" using vented rotors and pad set who say they give much better braking than stock.
I have the same truck as you and am considering getting a travel trailer. I have BSM on my mirrors. Can you share with me what mirror extenders you use?
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LHYSY4G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AFV7DHW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the combination that I used. The snap on mirrors vibrated to much on their own, but adding the convex mirrors to them worked great.
Hey quick question as I am in the market for a 5.7 Tundra for exactly what you do with your beautiful truck… most do not have the towing mirrors… did you ever look into changing yours out for the bigger towing mirrors? Thanks… Danny in PA ( what year is yours again?)

Today at 179,000 miles my most expensive repair was made in my 2007 Tundra SR5 with 5.7L engine - the air diverters on the AC quit working. $1200 fixed it. Only prior repair was at 60k miles - water pump. $700 fixed it. That’s it over the past 17 years. Otherwise routine maintenance.
The scuffs in the interior are just the facts of life when it comes to having a black interior. I’m getting a black/black limited from a man in Decatur. And I’m a Toyota guy. I also have a Camry as a commuter car, and my wife has a 4Runner.
Why? just because of the noise? My 2016 with 85k has some noise but most say it's normal. The 4.0 in the 2nd gen Tacoma and 4runner is a similar engine and sounds like that..
my dad has 2022 tundra and that part on the seat at 9:28 has broken as well as the clip that holds it in place and that is the only issue we have had with it they have taken it on 2 long trips and a few short ones and it has performed very well love the truck.
Funny I was mad my 07 tundra had s click on the driver door check, still going on but these trucks have allot of typical American parts that crap out, like my monochromatic exterior mirror but still are the best choice. These things are not what they used to be but also glad that aren't, we can get a formidable truck, a couple standard quirks but end of the day have a great workhorse

I bought a new 2020 Tundra 4x4 Sr5 TRD just prior to Covid. Came off a ford f150. Never looking back. I have 103,000km on her with zero issues & original brakes. Best truck I owned so far. Question … how may km till you do your tranny oil change & diffs?
if you tow a lot 100,00km is reasonable for differential oil, some do every 50,000km. ii not, 150km - 160km is reasonable. I tow a lot and do mine at 30k miles mine with full flush tranny flush at just over 100k miles. Owner of shop said my fluids were just fine.
Love your videos. I have a question . Recently Ive been offered a, 2015 Toyota Tundra TRD - SR5 _ with the 5.7L 8-Cylinder Gas Engine . Miles are under 80 thousand . Its absolutely imaculate. The only thing is its 2WD and not the 4WD , but I prefer the 2WD since it hasnt snowed where I live in 8 years. I can get the truck for under $20 thousand. I would love your advice. I really like this Toyota engine and its a crew cab. Thx Buddy.
My son has a 2WD 2015 that he got with 80k on it 4 years ago. Sounds and performs identical to my 2018 with 140k on the odometer )and the 2020 that I just got with only 14k miles). He now has ~130k milkes, under $20k sounds like you can't go wrong.
I just sold my Tacoma and I’m looking to get a tundra. I’ve found a 2017 with 107k miles on it, looks to be taken care of and it’s priced at 26k after watching this I think I’ll pull the trigger and hopefully get another 200k out of it.
It seems like a lot of these Tundra owners spend a lot of time fixing things that aren't broken. Every time I try to be proactive like that I run into problems, things not fitting quite right, squeaking, etc. I'm glad there are mechanically minded people that it works out for, but anything like that I wait until it needs to be fixed before I fix it.
I have a 2020 limited purchase new July 2020 and now have about 25,900 miles on it. At my age and the Tundra's reputation I plan on it being the last truck I own.
Truck looks great brother! I think you will be ready for a Brand New Tundra 2024 ,1794 here in a year or so, They have worked a lot of the bugs out. I will be disappointed if I see you in a Ford or Chevy?
keep trucking I have 3 years and about 65,550 only complaint would be steering wheel. not the best quality and already showing major wear and tear on top 12 o clock on steering wheel.
Good job, I just traded my 2015 Sequoia Plat. in on a 2019 1774, my Sequoia had 45K, but I also have a 4 runner, long story, but I am looking forward to many miles on my Tundra, I may get one of those frame jobs that you put the pop-up camper in the truck bed, one good thing, these trucks will give us our monies worth. God Bless you and your, and keep away from the crazies.......BB
I noticed you have air bags. Am I right? Also, does your truck have an oil cooler? Very solid vehicle. After driving Chevy and Ford most of my life, I switched to a Tacoma...love it. Also, all that additional stuff on the dash....forget it. Have a nice day.
I noticed the add-on air-bags and sway bar. I tow about the same size trailer, I'm at about 2/3 towing capacity for my 2014 Tundra. The suspension seems too light. The truck really gets pushed around by the trailer. I put Rancho shocks on the back and airbags, but it didn't make much difference. What's your experience with the suspension and do you have any upgrades to recommend?
Do you plan on keeping the truck longer ? My 2016 platinum has 114k and debating just keeping it till it dies or upgrading to a diesel - I will be towing more often 8k ish or more
I’ve had a diesel 20 years, though it pulls easily nothing about it is cheap. The weight makes you go through tires quicker, .80 more per gallon, DIY oil change with two filters 140.00, injectors @200k miles 4100.00… it’s been nice to tow with but unless towing 25% of the time, the Tundra will make more sense economically. I bought a 2020 Tundra sr5 4x4 two days ago, should’ve done it 15 years ago.
My 2014 5.7 is at 127k miles and beside regular maintence, ive just had to change the brake pads (100 ish k), battery and water pump at 125k miles. Your truck is due for a Water pump soon which is pricy to replace due to the labor costs. The shop has to remove alot of crap off the front of the motor, just to replace the water pump which is a sub $100 part.
What bothers me the most is that I have pretty much always put Toyota on a pedestal as far as their reliability and quality. All of their most recent generation vehicles seem to be following the way of all the other manufactures...Finding a way to make a product that people want for the absolute cheapest way possible. Now I get it...companies make these products to earn a profit...but I always thought Toyota would spend a little more to turn out a better product. Now even Toyota seems guilty of building vehicles that look like Rolls Royce....but have the build quality of a mid 90's Kia.
I truly think the Land Cruiser 200/ Lx570( ended in ‘21), the 07-21 Tundra, the ‘14-22 4Runner, and 14-22 GX460 will be heavily sought vehicles going forward. Toyota’s golden age of superior, reliable powertrains appears to be coming to an end
Unfortunately for the consumers. I think your right. The manufacturers just build what people want…well what most people want is the latest and greatest. So that puts reliability right down the crapper. There is not enough time for these companies to test and make sure their products are good…honestly I don’t think they care…why make a good product when nobody keeps vehicles long term anymore?? Just make it last until the bumper to bumper warranty is up. By that time they will be ready to buy another vehicle…because Ram, Chevy, and Ford do a refresh/all new product what seems like every 3 years. I guess Toyota is just trying to compete. Welcome to the new age where everything is junk.
Not sure what your point is. I do regular oil and fluid changes, as with any vehicles I own. I have several videos where I document my maintenance. This one was about problems.
Nice review. I really need to cover my chrome. I absolutely had getting those flashes in my eye when the sun hits that chrome. Can you tell me where to order the parts you have? I have looked, but can't seem to find anything I think will work.
I ordered from ATJ Designs. They make a number of different products, all easy install. I actually like (or at leat don't mind) a little chrome on the outside, I just hate it in my eyes when I'm driving. It was a problem especially with sunroof open.
depends where I'm heading and how fast. Hwy at 6- mph is about 19.5-20.5 mpgs. Hwy at 75 mph is about 16.5-18. Towing 6k lbs travel trailer at 60 mphis about 12.5 mpgs. Towing at 75mph is about 8 into the wind and about 9.5 to 10 with the wind.
