Your 37s is what’s cooking your transmission. The high temp transmission light doesn’t come on until it’s really hot you most likely have burnt fluid which reduces lubrication you should change out the fluid

Great video_ I recently bought a Limited 4WD TRD OR (NH)- and I really like it (Ive driven it 2 weeks now. The truck was built in August of 2022 and I have not had any lag issues. I had a 2007 Tundra SR5 so I also was impressed by all the cool gadgets the new truck has as you were. I bought It with 17 K miles so It was helpful to hear your year review. Nice looking truck.

Yes crawl control got me out of some deep snow and deep sand when 4 low with locker engaged could not. Gorgeous truck! BC looks amazing. That sucks about the bed I hope someone finds a solution someday

I have the 23. Everything you said is spot on. Thanks.

Great video. I have a 2022 SR5 off road. Already have over 100,000km on it. I agree with you on the box shaking. The front of my box, just behind the cab, has started to crack. I have seen this on another Gen 3 tundra as well.

Nice review covering some of the smaller things.

Hey thanks for doing a one year review. In the market for a new truck in the next couple of years. And the new Tundra is high on the list.

I own a 22 tundra limited hybrid with 15k miles out on it now, and I honestly feel that the lag you are feeling is due to the engine ECU being programmed for a hybrid motor to be installed. I have heard about this lag alot with many non-hybrid owners, but owning the hybrid I can tell you that the "lag" you feel is removed by the hybrid motor on initial accelerating then the engine kicks on and it's such a smooth transition. It's like they never account for that and just did a standard program for all engines hybrid or not.

You're from BC!!! Glad to see more Canadians doing off road adventures.

Funny you mention the flat belly... Like a 2005 Nissan Xterra... I love how the front end looks with the cut and bumper. Sounds like Toyota has some major work to do with the tundra still.

Starting the Friday afternoon just right 🙌🏻 Tecate roja, wrenching and some fools ol’ overland outfitters. Cheers Braeden and gang 🤙🏻

After your other shock shoot out where you liked icon out of the ones tested, would you still choose this suspension or the icon kit?

Love the Tundra.

We've been towing a TON with out 23 sequoia this past year and i've never seen a trans temp light before. Curious if you've got a sensor issue.

There is a TSB Update for the throttle lag as well as the start up clunk noise you get every once in a while. They are the same TSB code. Your local dealer should know the code. It took care of both of these issues for me.

Also if you replace the silver tie down points in the bed of the truck with a higher quality set it should take care of the rattle. It is not actually the bed rattling. It worked for a few other KZreadrs, I have yet to try it myself.

In my case it is the bed rattling against the frame, also confirmed by Toyota when I brought it in the first time.

that little throttle lag you discuss around 6:45 is a throttle by wire problem... most cars have this issue

cool, sooo when we getting a team trip video again!?!

Being a Toyota, it’ll slowly but surely improve over time. Perfect time to buy would be refresh in 2026.

Do you think the 37’s are the reason for the transmission overheating?

Does it use the top gears with 37’s on the highway? My 11 Tundra never used 6th gear with 35’s, totally needed to be re-geared

I've done worse than what you described about the transmission over heating. I've not had that happen to me. I've pulled up and over the rocky mountains in Colorado and I offroad alot too. The throttle lag I fully agree and I've taken it in and they say it's normal cause it's a teen speed transmission.

Get it tuned to get rid of the throttle lag.

Just curious, and the order of the mods may not have been right to find this out, did you have the transmission cooling issue with the 37s but before the bumper install? It does look like it blocks some of the airflow to the bottom of the radiator where those integrated ATF coolers typically live. If it was already borderline with the big tires, a little loss in airflow might be the final straw. Unrelated, my buddy just got back with some fuel cans and a trasharoo from your shop for me, stoked for the goodies so thank you!

How much lift is on the front and rear with the Elka suspension?

have you had issues with allignment?

Great review B! I have a gripe with the 3rd gen Tacoma bed rattle issue as well and I've seen folks who shim the bed contact with the frame.

Was it crawl control that "saved" you, or the multi terrain select that adjusted ATRAC? I think ATRAC is tits, but crawl control itself I don't understand the need or desire.

Glad I watched this. Sticking to a F-350.

Wouldn't hurt to inspect the transmission fluid and two or three drain and fill since it overheated.

How's the manoeuvrability of the tundra like in tight space? I currently have a Tacoma I like the nimbleness the truck but other than that it is not strong enough to howl my boat in the woods and all my other task. I'm afraid of missing the size of the tacoma in the city and in tigh space but you coming from a tacoma how was you experience in these situation ?

@OverlandOutfitters

Жыл бұрын

Honestly it's about the same, but I had the DCLB tacoma with long travel and 37s, so realistically it was close to the same size, just the body was narrower. The back up camera makes parallel parking a lot easier than in my taco as well.

Could maybe equate the high tranny temp to the large tires and stock gears

Something up with that overheating tranny. I’ve hauled/towed a lot with my 22 OR including towing 6000lb with a loaded bed in 45’c temps through the Cascades highway. If there was a time for an overheat that would be it.

Did you re-gear for the 37's? If not, that will likely resolve your transmission heat issue and improve the fuel economy.

I definitely agree that the throttle lag in the regular driving mode is pretty bad. I switch to sport mode any time I will be on highways and it seems to clean it up a lot. Do you think the overheating issues have anything to do with being on 37's?

It's the high-stall torque converter they use that causes excessive heat when it slips. Best bet is to slap it in tow/haul mode or manual shift mode so it can hold lower gears longer. If off-roading, 4-Lo will cut down on a lot the overheating warnings as well.

Good warning, NEVER buy a new generation vehicle from any manufacture. I have my 🍿ready for the new Tacoma as well.

Back up Nannie’s? Hard NO. Also the mileage is quite poor for a truck you just know won’t last as long as the normally aspirated V8’s.

The front grille is ugly. The front end/hood is too long. The panel gaps are unacceptable. It’s not a V8. The back seat is smaller than the previous generation. Quality issues such as rubber window seals coming off. Subpar interior build quality. Other than that it’s great.
