I have a 2024 Platinum as well but without the air bags. I use a weight distribution hitch when towing my 24' ATC enclosed trailer (2450lbs) + Spec Miata, Extra Tires, Fuel and Rolling Tool Cabinet (est 8000lbs). Tundra replaced a 2015 F350 Diesel. The Tundra is a dream to drive & hauls great. I change oil every 5k miles.

The air bags really helps . And it can pull a lot of weight, my TRD pro did a lot of work too!

Great video thank you for sharing your experience with the New Generation

I just pray my 2024 TRD Pro won’t have all the issues of the 2022 & 2023 yikes! There’s some horror stories out there for sure, but I gotta have it and give it a go myself. Just such a beautiful truck! 😂

Awesome video guys. We rented an SR5 and towed a 6x12 U-Haul enclosed trailer across country and it was awesome. Looking forward to retiring and selling my 08 limited and getting the third generation Tundra. I’m just hoping get 4 wheel auto and an inverter like the Ford Powerboost has now.

Excellent review. I bought my 2024 Platinum several weeks ago and have done some minor towing (1700 lb ride mower); can’t even tell I’m towing anything. Fit and finish is excellent. Technologically it’s awesome. I’m waitiing until I can mount a snow blade (currently doing that with my F350). But Toyota engineers apparently have to figure out what changes underneath on the front end have to be made to accommodate a heavy snow blade, and the electrical requirements. If you have any data on this I’d appreciate it. But the bottoms line is…I didn’t even know Toyota made such a truck.I thought they were the mini trucks of the past. Surprised me! 😆

Excellent informative video. Hopefully, the 3.4 will prove itself to be excellent, I'm confident it will.

I loved the 2022 I rented, to the point where it will be hard to ignore when I have to finally give up my Tacoma one day. Hoping to see but long term reviews like this.

Silver is a great color on the new Tundra. So many say they don’t look good. But most have not seen them in person or are just haters. There’s a slightly lifted silver Capstone with upgraded tires and a wrap on the cab. I was next to him the other day both filling up our Tundras and I mentioned how great his truck looks. He thanked me and said he gets compliments daily about the truck. Like nothing he’s ever experienced.

I think people worry about reliability for the long run with the V6 turbo engine. Only time will tell on this. As one guy said with his Ford F150, the turbo's are quite expensive to replace. That's my main concern also. Will the V6 twin turbo engine go the distances with few repairs. I would like to know if their are any new gen Tundra's out there that have over 100,000 to 200,000 miles on them and any problems they have had. I think this would help people to decide how dependable they are. Mark you should see if you can do a video about the ones that have already put a lot of miles on their trucks and if they have had any problems. Have a good day.

I'm still in the break-in period with the 24. As of now, it's working just as well. I know they had some issues with the 22, but that was a very small percentage of people. It worked out very well for me. I am sure that will continue with the 24.

I have been looking to buy a 1500 truck since the start of the year, but have not pulled the trigger on one. In the months that have passed, I have never considered a tundra due to their prices and lack of incentives or low aprs.

I have a 2023 Limited trim iForce Max. I specifically got the Hybrid the towing for my job, but I probably didnt need it (hybrid). I have a similar enclosed trailer, 16' tandem axle with a 10,000 GVWR towing capacity, and being an electrical contractor, my trailer easily weighs above 7,500 lbs when loaded up for a job. I also tow it daily. I agree with most of Patrick's comments. I absolutely LOVE this truck. I had a 2013 F-250. This truck does everything that it could do, only better. I do not have the Bags in the rear but I do use a WDH (per manufacturer recommendations) and my truck is level, drives smooth and you would never really know you are towing. I average about 14mpg (10.4 with my Ford). The interior is beautiful, night time headlights are awesome and the ride is ridiculously nice. I researched the heck out of all the possible truck options and I wanted to get another Ford, but when it was done, to get a comparably equipped F-series ( I considered the F-150 and 250), it was more money and I don't like the new look. I never even gave the Tundra a look until last, because I didn't think it would be able to handle the towing requirements I needed. I was wrong!!! It is a beast. The ONLY issue I have had with this truck is that the transmission "overheats" when I am BACKING my trailer up my steep (15% grade) driveway. I honestly do not know why that would be the case and it is the only place that this happens. My initial speculation is that it is related to the angle of the truck during reverse driving, the design of the cooling system and resulting in a potential lack of transmission oil flow because of that. It gets to the Hot indicator within 30 seconds from when I start but I am done backing within a minute. I have mentioned it to my dealer which he will look at when I bring it in for my next service. BTW: My truck does have the transmission cooler.

Glad to hear it does well towing, just can’t justify the cost.

Glad to see you are doing well with the truck. I replaced a 2017 F-150 Ecoboost with a 2021 Tundra because I do heavy towing regularly myself. Running those turbo chargers all the time wore them out by the time I got to 138,000 miles on the Ecoboost. Ford wanted almost $7,000 to replace them. Part of that cost was some repair caused by them going out. I sold the truck as-is to Ford and walked across the street and bought the V8 Tundra. I wish I had bought the Tundra in the first place. So, I'm curious how Toyota's twin turbos will hold out regularly towing.

Nothing magical imo about a toyota vs ford turbo v6. Ford's been doing it for 15 years with some problems at first and they've refined it over time to be an excellent powertrain that seems to last most people at least 200k miles without major issues. I'm sure it will be the same for Toyotas. Of course there will be exceptions in all brands. 8,000# daily is sort of the threshold of 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton. Even though these 1/2 tons say they are rated 12-13k - thats sketchy, we all know it. I know because I've done it on my 2018 F150 with an 11,000# camper. Sold the truck and bought a RAM diesel after a few white knuckle trips. Otherwise, I loved the F150. The 3/4 tons handle the weight so much better but a 1/2 ton with airbags is a nice compromise.

No, sir. It's been a very smooth ride. It's overall a very solid truck.

Also have a 2nd gen tundra and the new one is better towing BUT more gear would be nice at least optional. I tow daily and have 2 other trucks on the road all towing 4-5000lbs. The other trucks are xl model f150s and both are 2014 models. They do great with this light load and average 12.5 mpg with 3.55 gears (they both would benefit from a little more fear also). Just got a ‘24 tundra sr 2wd and it averages 13.0 with a dang 10 speed towing the same load. 10 year newer truck with a ton more tech should easily be able to get 15+ mpg towing this little load. We do a lot of miles so yes that would be a huge savings over the 13 mine gets. My f150s have 6 speeds and we run them in 5th for the best mileage and they have been great. Was just hoping the new tundra with 140-150 more hp and a LOT more torque would do better and it barely does. Mine stays in 8th gear mostly but will shit to 7th on hills. I think a little more gear would get them to 15+ mpg towing and not really hurt mileage when not towing

I have the same exact truck air bags with a 7000# travel trailer. With weight distribution it tows adequately but the rear suspension still has too much lateral movement. The engine and transmission are very good. The interior looks nice and is comfortable but it has way too many rattles and wind noise. I came from a 3/4 ton diesel so my standards are pretty high for towing.

As a long time Toyota family owner of multiple models and generations, former mechanic, service writer, service manager, parts seller, parts manager, and new and used car salesman, I would not touch the new Tundra, Tacoma, or upcoming ruined 4Runner with a ten ft pole. Turbos go out every 100k miles give or take, the Tundra's turbo replacement alone is around $10k per turbo. Turbo engines are WAY more complex and have WAY more issues in general then ANY NA engine. Gas turbo engines also do not regularly go 300k+ miles before needing major engine overhaul, (head gaskets failing are common due to huge cylinder pressures on forced induction engines) except diesel engines which are made way stronger and totally differently. Turbo technology has been around since before the 80's, there is a REASON real trucks never used turbos (except diesels) they are not reliable or viable for long term heavy usage like a truck goes through and the maintenance and wear replacement on them is not acceptable at the consumer level. Toyota did this due to insane corrupt emissions laws in the USA. They had other options, but choose this route instead. This is because they refuse to join the ignorant unsustainable fad of making and selling EV's that are not viable, because of that their emissions rating as a brand was too high so they had to cut the numbers and this was how they could easily do it, by ruining their truck line. Who ever made this decision at Toyota should be shamed and fired for ruining a legendary brand. Due to our corrupt ignorant government, we only get the worst Toyota vehicles in the world, everything else they sell in other countries are way better than the models we get. (Diesels etc) The previous generation non turbo Toyotas are now worth even more than they already were (for good reason), the resell value on these new turbo engines will be way lower, and once they get around 100k miles smart people will not buy them. Once this era of stupidity is over and they go back to proper engines next model update, this era of Toyota will be known as the lost years. (When they screwed their customers, ruined their products and lost a ton of respect, and customer loyalty base, along with sales) Your experience may be different, but this is mine, with extensive auto industry knowledge. Also the new bodies for the Tundra and Tacoma are hideous, you won't catch me ever driving one, even if it had a V8 or a diesel. Toyota is on it's way down as a brand, this new failed Tundra launch alone has cost them tens of millions in warranty claims and reduced sales. The next best brand to focus on now is Nissan, for their trucks ONLY, their other vehicles all use cvt transmissions which are utter disposable trash. The Pathfinder, Frontier, and Titan models are very well made in general and close to the quality of Toyotas trucks, now they are better, and they cost LESS new.

So pretty much the Tundra can handle a Camaro in an enclosed trailer?

If I wanted to tow 2 camaros and a bike I would've bought a 2500 diesel. This was more than suffice

1300 lbs payload is a joke

Still not worth 70 k

For the amount you get with the truck, some may disagree. Prices are just up on everything in this world and some people need to learn to accept it. Because it's just the new way things are. Were not going back. The bread I haul and sell is roughly over $5 a loaf. Some think that's not worth it, but i'm still selling a lot of that. sometimes you just pay more for better quality. Sorry you disagree, just my thoughts.

modern tundra = will break soon

Toyota garbage tundra😂😂😂😂
