Afe sells them the replace a bracket on the sway bar. Put some on my 22 trd off road worked great . Just traded it in for the 24 Trd pro love it so far.
@@Adrian-jh5crthat's not a good idea. Have you ever seen a truck with the hooks attached to the sway bars. There's a reason.. For sure voids the warranty.
That color just rocks. I’ve been thinking about that Sequoia in Solar Octane lately, just how unique it looks… There’s nothing else like it on the road in full sized trucks and SUVs.
I wanted to love these Tundras so bad! Decided to give it a chance when I was shopping, but the lack of bed utility, no 4WD Auto, lack of storage, lack of efficiency, and weird quircks like the remote start shutoff pushed me to a GMC. Also wish it had more premium materials for the cost. Still think they are beautiful trucks. Maybe next time.
I take my 23 tundra through the automatic car wash and im getting water in my door jams. Also on the rubber wrapped wiring the door sticker wit the load rating. It comes in on all4 doors. Dealer service department says that is normal.
@@TRDJon No argument at all. But with a wide truck I expect that uturning in 2 lane roads wil be difficult. My wifes 4runner is close in most of the places around here.
Didn't like the color at first but I think I'm coming around to it. You're right, the black headliner would fit it perfectly. I will never understand Toyota's war on tow hooks either. Especially for such an expensive off roader
I have to agree with you 💯 in everything you have said. Since the pandemic they have increased prices on everything, but especially at most car dealers like Toyota.
I guess I would love the black headliner also just to avoid stains but kind alike the light I’m a tall guy so the interior feeling a little more open would be nice as well
Yup. Yup. Yup. Solar Octane definitely in top 5 of TRD Pro Colors of all time. Solar Octane. Lunar Rock. Heritage Blue. Army Green. Voodoo Blue. Turning radius sucks. Big time.
Me too. Not like we can’t modify it but the whole point of buying a Toyota is the reliability so it would be nice to not have to void the warranty to hear the turbos
I really like the new Tundra but I can't get past the fact that their are no factory engineered front recovery tow hooks and an option for a front winch. I don't understand an off road truck offering without a way to pull on the truck safely if stuck in an off road adventure. The competition offers these items in the off road versions engineered from the factory. Come on Toyota!
my only complaint is the horizontal sway. The 2024 added an additional control bar for that reason. I recently purchased a 2023 and regret not waiting.
I absolutely disagree with you on the fake engine noise. The turbo whine irritates me and I want to hear as little of that as possible. I love the big rumbly noise it puts out. It's no V8, but it's good.
The smaller infotainment screen on the SR5 looks way better than the silly dash iPad. Put the infotainment into the dash not on top of it toyota, that trend has had its day.
The large screen up higher allows you to keep your eyes on the road along with easily seeing and operating the large functions touch buttons. Most reviewers say they quickly get used to the screen size and appreciate the convenience.
You must have a discount at 70k .bought mine in 22 with lunar for 90k. . Nothing on lot in the biggest Tundra dealer. Fred Hass Toyota world and have bought 5 vehicles from them...... the Tundra was made to order only.. .. and I bet people say oh it's your credit..lol perfect credit and was going to pay cash.. they would not give me an option to pay cash...wtf?? Admitted they make money on fiance.. ok. Paid and left with 20k left. They are stealing people's money and got bent over, BUT I wanted another Tundra after owning 2 others. Learning my lesson during a covid run depletion of vehicles and didn't want to hear it. Love my truck ONLY complaint is the JBL speakers, but I'll get rid of that through taco tunes.
Just want to know your take on the hybrid engine drive / power and if are you happy with your choice of non hybrid platinum. My guess is that it’s not worth the $$ if your not doing daily hauling/loading.
Purchased my TRD Pro in Icecap and I simply love it. Drove from Long Island to northern Vermont on a single tank of gas. Drives great. Handles great. Comfortable. The only negative is the turning radius but it’s not a game changer. Just get used to it. Great truck!
Agree & I personally see this new Tundra as hideous. Once Nissan exits the full-size market; Toyota will be dead last in sales … they don’t compete in this segment, but they make decent commuter cars.
Are you still getting 17 mpg? Mine is a steady 16.5 or even 16 MPG driving in ECO mode and I'm at 4,000 miles. Almost everything on my TRD pro I love, But I find the only things really lacking is the gas, and the turn radius.
After driving all the full-size trucks, except Nissan; Toyota is dead last for me. The powertrain & capability is not there IMO. 1st place) Ford F-150 Tremor 2nd place) Chevrolet ZR2/GMC AT4 3rd place) Ram 1500 Rebel
That mpg at 18 mpg is not good. I'm getting a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 3.0 duramax custom trail boss, 25+ mpg all day long!! I bet the Chevy will outlast your Tundra!!
@@GeorgeZimmermen We don't know how the new Tundra will do long term tho. Chevy has been doing good with there 3.0 duramax tho. A lot of owns have said they have had no problems. Toyota Tundra has had quite a few issues tho. The main issue is pricing. $70,000 for a TRD Pro and only getting 18 mpg is garbage. I mean a Ram 3500 Cummins gets 23 mpg on the hwy!!
Yeah have fun replacing the wet oil pump belt in that Duramax 3.0 at 150K miles. Its at the back of the engine so regardless of which one your choose, the engine or transmission needs to be removed to access it...
@@pementerprises7706 Yeah, it's only $3,000 to do that tho. With a twin turbo if you don't get the timing right and it's a tooth off, you can blow up your engine. Each truck is very scary to own honestly. Super expensive either way.
True, but the turbos would be an unexpected failure where as the chevy oil pump belt is required maintenance that is guaranteed to occur at least every 150K miles. Also a 2022 tundra was sold on Car Fax with 155k miles and the only failure was a throttle body at 115k miles, but only time will tell I guess. @@stevenpeterson7234
@@TRDJon There is a white Tundra park across the street from my place. I see it every day as I go to work. It's looks great until you inch closer to the front.
@@TRDJon Jon - I want to love it, but I just cannot. I was just as excited about the new Tundra as I was with the Tacoma. In fact, I thought my first truck would be the Tundra.
In the rear of that Pro is the right-hand seat also Camo? from the video it looks like the left side seat had camo, but the right did not, only on the sides of the seat...
Again, it looks great until you panto the grill. Color that little section at the bottom, body color, and it would not hilight how big a mouth there is. The Sequoia front end is alright, not the Tundra.
the waste gate issue have been fixed already for the 2nd year (2023) model. Toyota is very quick to fix things, but like everyone else, there tends to be more problems their first year.
don't know if it will be as reliable as their NA V8, time will tell.....but I would trust a Toyota twin turbo V6 over a Ford eco boost which is also twin turbos.
What we are never going to hear is that dealers give you money back for something that we already paid We are idiots who pay these amounts for these plastic cars. I include myself in them because I have one.
@@TRDJon Nice any issues on that one ? I have a 2022 Pro and I did notice the little whistle noise on the driver side, and that’s when I saw your video on the SR5 so I took it to the dealer and they did fix that. Now is much better, also I do agree with the turning why did they do that with the truck, with my 21 pro I was able to do a U turn so easy now I need to back up in order to complete that turn with this truck.
@@TRDJon ….. ugh. We have been going to Silver Beach Towers for 12-15 years, usually in April/May which is always great. Low 80s and no humidity. Did August a couple times years ago. The Gulf and the condos pools were like bath water and 90+ every day. Btw, I have yet to see a solar octane Tundra here in Ohio. Looks good in your video. I have a 2018 Cement SR5 (my 9th Tundra) after selling my ‘21 Platinum for a huge profit. I’ve made the ‘18s appearance into a TRD Pro and it’s been my favorite truck. Used mainly to tow our camper, but looks great doing so, lol
Well that was a strange coincidence….5 minutes before you responded to my post my wife booked a week at Silver Beach Towers starting Labor Day. Last minute deal on the 16th floor was almost half off! Hopefully this tropical storm coming this week sucks some of the heat away…lol🤷♂️🥵 Maybe we will see you on the road Jon! What vehicle would should we look for?
23 1794 non-hybrid with 1500 miles and 19.7 MPG, gone on the highway 3 times. Staying out of boost is how to get the best MPG in any turbo charged vehicle…
