Try living in a mountain environment, the hybrid battery is active all the time. Nothing is cooler than seeing the engine shut off down a slope while the battery charges, that charge is used in driving on flat areas. Also my average gas milage in summer is 21mpgs. If I didn't drive above the speed limit, I'm sure my milage would be even better.

I live very close to where these trucks are made in Texas and I am friends with one of the higher ups in engineering, and after talking to him more, I understand the hybrid max way more, it was not designed to give you better fuel economy as seen or turn into some sort of Prius Truck, but they mainly designed it for towing reasons, there's a huge difference when towing with the hybrid max and regular i-Force, at least I noticed it, the engine didn't have to rev as high, or downshift multiple gears to get the power needed. I will say for most people, the regular i-Force makes more sense, as it is cheaper, and more readily available. I will also add that like you said, this is a first-year product for them and as Toyota always does, it is much more conservative than what the powertrain is capable of. Ive heard a bunch of talk that the refresh of the Tundra, should bring even more changes to the HybridMax powertrain.

@Realistick

I hope it brings more changes too, the regular powertrain is so good that it overshadows the MAX imo. It also shouldn’t affect the cruising rpm. if the hybrid has to help out while cruising, it will deplete the battery. From what ive seen and experienced, it helps out nicely for acceleration, coasting and extremely light loads but not much else!

I have a 22 Tundra that I purchased with 17K miles - I figured why buy new when I still have plenty of warranty and the truck was spotless- not a ding on it- I really enjoy this truck. It was an August build from the TEXAS manufacturer and I think Toyota had already worked out quite a few of the problems that the December or January models had (wind noise, doors rattling, turbo lag). As I just clicked 22K on the truck I also am hoping for the best. I don't abuse my truck and am a fanatic about maintenance and overall use of the truck- I do use the power when I need to... my family even received tutorials from me on how to use the side steps to get in/out of the vehicle (the seat plastic is much cheaper made than on my 2007). I did buy the truck with the driver side seat's plastic already cracked but under the warranty, Toyota replaced that months ago. I am not a heavy guy and I use the side step correctly so I should be good from here. That's how the plastic cracks overtime because people tend to just slide their ass from seat without using the side step. Best of luck to you.

I love my HV. I wasn’t sold on it, mainly because of loss of storage. There is still some storage behind back seats that fold down. I needed the air bag suspension for towing. After owning the HV I’m happy i got it. It’s seamless and when i tow, it pulls better than the 3.0 diesel i traded in.

How much you was able to get it for

Bought a 23 Tundra limited IMax, my buddy who’s a Toyota technician told me “ Don’t buy the Hybrid, not worth the money, no great advantage”,, so I didn’t , the IMax twin turbo, non hybrid, had gobs of power.

I have a '23 1794 Hybrid. The main reason I wanted a hybrid. My brother in law has a Ford F'150 and the engine shuts off when you stop. When the truck starts back from a stop there is a thump when it starts to go as the engine comes back to life. I HATE that. The Tundra hybrid starts out in electric mode smooth until 5 or 6 miles per hour and then the engine kicks in. No bump, just smooth as silk.

Finally a journalist that makes this point known! I'm so tired of manufacturers combining outputs of engine and motor and misleading customers with the extra power.

Great informative video! My preference would be the base SR double cab. That’s all I would need. Mark in Iowa.

You're spot on. Many have reported the hybrid didn't make much difference in terms of Mpg. Yep, save your moola.

Toyota’s reputation for quality and reliability come from perfecting a vehicle design, parts, and assembly over time rather than pushing new models to market every few years. I typically buy and keep my car/truck for years so the ‘Toyota Tax’ works for me. Inevitability, new models have bugs and that may be the case with the Tundra for right now.

BIG bugs. Turbo and wastegates require cab-off for repair, and now engines blowing and sitting at stealerships waiting for engine parts. I remember a Toyota engineer on KZread boasting how millions of miles of simulation had bulletproofed the new engine. Oops.

It’s so strange how people get upset the car they like got an update decades later. If you like a V8 Tundra there are tons of them to buy. Time passes. Things change. Welcome to 2024!

I had both a '22 platinum and '22 TRD pro with my name on it back then. I ended up going for the TRD Pro...long story short, I traded it in 6 moths later for '23 F150 Raptor (and could not be happier). If i could go back I would have gone with the Platinum non-hybrid. The kicker for me was the hybrid regen braking system. At the 4 month ownership mark, in my truck the brakes started making a high pitched humming noise every time i stepped on the brake regardless of pedal pressure or speed. Brought it to the dealership and they told me that was normal...after 2 months of that sound I moved on and got my dream truck.

I bought a platinum long bed hybrid a few months ago as a tax write off. I feel your review is fairly surface level, but I am hardly have the typical use case of my vehicle, so I'm largely going to be over critical of your review, which I was curious to watch. I live in the mountains, so I heat cycle the engine pretty drastically - the hybrid lets me go easier on the throttle (and is easier on the turbos) when the engine isn't fully warm yet. I get the extra power/torque from the hybrid motor going up all the steep hills, and I get regen braking on the way down. Driving in traffic/parking lots with the engine off is real nice, plus the benefits you noted. The battery is able to be swapped to more advanced types of battery technology whenever the aftermarket creates them; the existing coding of the vehicle would allow for some plug-and-play options that would lean to a greater utilization of assist/regen without remapping the hybrid system. The last point may seem like a stretch, but this is the same setup how 1st/2nd gen prius batteries can be upgraded for very cheap to provide increases in MPG over when the vehicle was new. And since the whole thing was a write-off, the extra cost of the vehicle doesn't really make it an extra burden on my wallet.

This was just my look at the powertrains (full review is a different video). My truck in particular would drain its battery remarkably fast so the boost was doing most of the work, especially when cruising or going up hills on the highway. I didn’t drive it in the mountains so that is one specific usage that lends it more of an advantage to charge the battery but nonetheless, going down a mountain in any car that’s using engine braking will at least stop fuel consumption. For the TRD PRO and Capstone, I get it, but I wasn’t impressed for $4k as an option. As a write off or if the budget wasn’t much of a concern, sure, why not!

Sharp initially response makes it not have annoying turbo lag. Worth it when you do it dozens on times everytime you drive

You can tell when someone doesn’t understand this. It’s similar to electric vs gas tools, like trimmers etc. the electric for half the weight will function with more torque, avoiding the “hold the trigger til it spins up” time period. The electric is just on. Now. And this is what driving electric assist gives you. Drivability and instant torque instead of waiting for “spool up”.

Love the V8s because they are easy to work on and last forever. Although I understand why, I'm still frustrated that they decided to move to the V6 twin turbo. Lots more things to go wrong with that setup, not to mention the complexity that comes with a hybrid vehicle. V8 = works, fairly simple, lasts forever V6/V6 hybrid = works, much more complex, longevity?????

Found very interesting, you might have saved me some money. Thanks.

Great honest review, thank you for differentiating the two.

Good video- I bought the 2022 LIMITED TRD O.R. (N.H. - panoramic roof, JBL system) - believing the extra money for the battery was not worth the cost for insignificant increase in performance. Coming from a 2007 Tundra- I really like this truck and after 5 months of ownership I still look forward to driving it each and every time. However, I do not tow and if I did maybe I would have felt the need to spend the extra cash as some folks.

Great points! I wonder about around town driving and/or traffic with a lot of stop and go situations. I'm curious if the hybrid makes a difference, and in particular, whether it smooths out the auto stop/start functionality better than the non-hybrid and/or has the ability to keep the A/C from shutting off at stops. Not that it would justify the cost for everyone, but perhaps for some use cases it would?

I think I will just get the F250 Tremor with the high output 6.7!!! That truck is an absolute beast when it comes to power!!!

Having driven both powertrains, I agree with anything you said.... EXCEPT when you live in an area like I do. With lots of hills, 4 way stops on hills, many roads with limited visibility because you are pulling out on a curve and people are driving 15 mph over the speed limit. That extra low end torque and quickness from the hybrid deliver a massive difference in quality of life. Pulling a trailer through the area feels so much better. Still very doable with the non-hybrid engine. Definitely better with the hybrid though. And worth the price difference for my comfort.

I wonder if they fixed the turbo lag problem. I know it’s not common but curios why

Torque=work (force applied), HP=power (work done over a period of time). HP is a function of torque....the equation is HP=(Torque x RPM)/5252. That's why big diesels make gobs of torque, but relatively low HP numbers.....they spin slower than a comparable gas engine.

Indeed, more low rpm torque, means more low rpm power and generally better efficiency for towing as a result!

CAFE standards. 19to 21combined is a 10% increase in fuel economy which is actually significant when looking at CAFE restrictions. And the rules heavily favor electrification over straight gas

Electric motor is also used for the starter. Except after fuel cap has been opened…. Saving on starter 🤷🏻‍♂️

Toyota Engineers sure don't seen to understand the whole point behind a Hybrid. Just for the Record, the point is for BETTER GAS MILEAGE ! Not to add Torque and power. It's nuts vehicles that are very similar in size, to compare, like the Tacoma Iforce Max, and the Grand Highlander Hybrid have a huge gap in MPGs between them, because Toyota chose to use the Economy of the Hybrid in the Highlander, and the Power in the Tacoma. So Toyota, when you figure out how to get 37 MPG in the Tacoma Hybrid, like the Highlander, I'll buy one , until then it's overpowered , and sucks gas not much better than the outgoing 6 cyl.

I see your logic but you misinterpreted what I said and jumped to a conclusion. Chassis, cooling, suspension and axles are bigger determining factors in towing than gearing and power (I've done a deep dive video on this before with Rams). Power output (especially at a low rpm) helps the truck feel/accelerate better when pulling heavy loads, which is what I was referring to in the video.

I've had lengthy conversations with the Car care nut and also watch his content. He never said these were lemons. He said it's complicated and you should probably avoid the first model years (and he recommends this for virtually every truck and car after a redesign).

Front end is the modern Edsel. Max ugly.

​@@user-jl9zl9wd4gthe initial batch of Tundra's had electronic wastegate issues caused by bad parts from a supplier that have since been corrected; they switched suppliers and that fixed the issue from what I've read.

V8 are the best ever.

Max all day long.

I don't even mind the new engine if the truck wasn't so horrible looking.

No v8 no dice. FJB

Not only will you be replacing a $6900 battery but a pair of turbos that are around the same price. There is no advantage to buying this truck it’s still better to get a naturally aspirated V8.

You couldn't be more wrong. Toyota hybrids are the most reliable you can buy that easily get 150-200k miles. And there is no advantage to a NA V8. TTV6 engines have far better torque, towing, hp and mileage. And if you look at actual reliability comparisons, ford's 3.5 ecoboost is more reliable than their 5.0 v8.

@@user-mh5qg5jb7d Walk your dumbass over to a Toyota repair center and ask them what they repair most. They're going to tell you early 2010s hyrbrids. That's the vast majority of what they are repairing. How do I know? I just had my Tundra in for routine maintenance and asked that exact question. They told me avoid hybrids like the plague. They will break down and cost way more money to fix than their gas counterparts. You want that long term cost go ahead. I'm never going to waste my money on that bullshit.

Most people don't let the turbos cool down before shutting it off. Their turbos are at risk to only go 100K. Very expensive repair. If you engage the turbos hard, idle the engine for a minute to cool it down before shutting it down.

@@robcooke1956Agreed. I make my original comment because I owned a F-150 Ecoboost and had no idea what I was getting myself into. First, I didn't know I had to do a TDI service every 30K that cost me $325 to keep the carbon build up in the engine from happening, I didn't know that turbos over heat when towing for long periods of time, I didn't know that head gaskets blow on these all the time which mine went at 118,000, and I didn't know that the average life of a turbo is only around 150K which both of mine went out at 152K. I spent over $15,000 to keep that truck on the road only to 153,000 miles, an extra $1,000 every 10,000 miles, and now I am the biggest advocate against turbos. I sold the truck in 2021 and bought the last 2nd gen Tundra and wow I wish I had bought this truck in 2017 instead.

​@@robcooke1956these have electric coolant pumps that run after the truck is off so the idling isn't needed.

Lol haters that can't afford it is all I see.

Hybrid v6 in a full size truck? 😂 sounds like problems just waiting to happen. I call junk. Expensive overpriced junk.

Hybrid is not dumb. I will say though that Ford’s hybrid powertrain in the F150 Powerboost makes much more sense in the real world than Toyota’s I-Force Max hybrid. The Powerboost has tons of torque but is also designed and achieves better fuel economy than Toyota’s I-Force Max. The ProPowerOnBoard generator system in the Ford may seem like a gadget to someone who doesn’t use their truck for work or RV camping, but I can tell you from personal experience of owing an XLT Powerboost and a Lariat PB, they are game changers. I’ve taken the I-Force Max for a test drive and the list of shortcomings are substantial. The Powerboost is a better truck.

@@v.t.4338 Excuse me, please don’t call me dude. I’m 67 y/o and have been buying and leasing trucks of all brands for 45 years. GMC, Chevs and Fords plus Heavy equipment for our quarry and open pit mine. We use our half tons for our mechanical engineering consulting firm. Our trucks are not mall crawlers, they’re pounded on daily by 250 lb lugs who don’t give a crap about making them last. If our trucks were causing downtime and causing us to lose money, they would be gone in a heartbeat.
