Always love your videos AMD! And it was nice to catch up with you last week! I love my Tundra TRD Pro for many reasons you pointed out, but still can't believe the "reverse D" defect I had on the hood emblem. It's definitely a solid truck and after driving the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado this week side by side with the Tundra, it seems Toyota did its homework in coming up with a "balanced" truck that hits the sweet spot.

This is probably one of the best simple video about the new Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. I totally agree on the good and bad things that were pointed out.

Appreciate the new Tundra deep-dive videos - thank you! I have a 2023 1794 and LOVE it!

Thank you for the videos AMD. These trucks have issues and Toyota has really dropped the ball on quality control. I picked up my 2023 Platinum last week. It spent 4 out of the 8 days I had it at the dealership. Build date was 11/22. When I drove it home from the dealership I felt the suspension bottom out twice. Turns out that the air suspension was out of spec and it was not adjusted correctly from the factory per the dealership. They verified and performed a TSB for it. That fixed the issue. Then my A Pillar began to rattle incessantly. The dealer found that the clips were broken inside the A Pillar. The dealer put foam inside it because toyota told them they didn’t have the clips available to fix it due to shortages. The rattling continued. Then my center console got worse. They rattle straight out of the factory and it got worse in the 8 days I owned it. The dealer put felt inside. It helped by about 50%. On the way home from the dealership service the drivers side window started to whistle bad. I rolled it up and down many times and it wouldn’t go away. The next day I drove for about 2 hours and the front seats have a horizontal support bar positioned way too far back towards the seat back. If your anatomy isn’t just right, you’ll be sitting on a thinly padded bar. The seats are poorly designed with minimal padding. That was the last straw and I took a hit and sold it back to the dealer and lost a couple grand in the taxes I paid. Well worth getting rid of it. Toyota may get this right in a few years but I’d highly recommend staying away from this truck right now. We own a newer highlander and a Venza and they’re great. So im not a toyota hater. And I owned a 2004 tundra for 15 trouble free years waiting for this new generation. Very disappointing.

It would have been better if they used a system similar to the Rav-4 Prime that used the battery to give a powerful boost, and allow electric only operation for a few miles. This could have been done in place of a turbo, and the longevity of the V-6 might’ve been legendary. The turbo V-6 by the way was one of worst trouble spots mentioned by CU.

AMD, Did you borrow this TRD Pro from David at Automotive Press? 😉 You focused on the T-O-Y-O-T-A printed on the front grille and dash. On a white pickup like this, I think the classic company 'signature' is the word TOYOTA written in red letters across the tailgate. 🤩 As a truck, my only real concern with the Tundra is the shrunken interior which is a very common theme in every Toyota that has come along in the last 5 years.

I bought a 2023 Tundra SR5 TRD off road package. Dealer and toyota rep told me that the payload on mine is 1819 pounds, however the sticker on the door jamb specify 1395 pounds. Can u please help me understand why the number on the sticker is so low. ?

Great Video. I am a new subscriber as I just found your channel and I'm enjoying your videos. I have a 2008 Tundra V8 4.7 I bought new and absolutely love it with just about 180,000 on it. I love the way the new Tundras look but without that V8 option I will not buy another as I feel pickup trucks of .5 ton or higher really need that bigger engine. Also I am not sold on anything Hybrid, it has its goods but also bads. Keep the Hybrid in the F1 cars and off the streets lol. Anyway thank you for sharing and I look forward to watching more! Stay safe and well!

Having my truck lie to me by playing v8 noise everytime I drive it sounds terrible.

I wanted a Tundra for years; what's not to like about Toyota reliability, and full size truck capabilities? The issue is that I can not bring myself to pay the asking price for trucks for one; nor can I abide this move to turbo V6's as opposed to V8's. They are being marketed as equal power with more fuel efficiency, but the numbers I see don't bear that out. My V6 mini van get approximately the same gas mileage as my 6.2L LS powered car, and with that I get more torque and horsepower. The Tundra has been plagued with issues with the turbo since it was released; that in combination with "supply chain issues" and parts shortages means that you could pay upwards of 60 to 70, or even close 80k for a truck that may or may not be on the road long before a long down time. I get the warranty argument but down time means you're paying monthly payments and interest on a vehicle you can't even drive. I have a great friend that is as big a Toyota fan as I am and is so mad that he bought this truck. He paid about 68k, and put less than 5k miles on it before the turbo issue reared it's head and grounded him for 7 months. They supposedly had to remove the cab to get to the turbos and do the repair, and this was after months of waiting for parts. Part of the issues is this rush to push the green and renewable energy movement forward at a greater cost to the consumer. I am all for renewable energy and reduction of green house gases and pollution, but when the technology is ready and completely viable.

Be blessed as always Ahmed and we appreciate your ongoing honesty! The 'feel' of a new Corolla is better than that of a new Tundra. New Sienna is the same. Corolla Cross feels more solid than a Tundra. I make a point of seeing where each model is made, Mexico, Texas, Indiana, Canada in Ontario, they all have a cheapness to them. Those made in Japan not so much. Pause @16:54 as you open the driver's door, the lower 'sill plate' is 2 piece, not one stamping as was on the prior Tundra. Although it lines up very well, it's still 2 piece. Oh, the rubber trim around the rear side glass, with the GAP, although better, still is an issue. Funny how it seems to affect the driver's side only. Have you discussed the TSB recall on re-torqueing of the rear end, to prevent brake line failure let alone wheels falling off? Did I forget to mention the blind-spots created by the side-view mirrors? LOL Cheers,

Please talk about lexus GSF

I PERSONALLY love "Tacos" better. I jst like the look. Sayn this, I agree w/TRD version, dont like chrome on trucks. If I WANTED a truck, price is way out of MY pocket book. I guess the black door handles is like the Toyota's nite shades. Great analysis! 👍🇺🇸

Burritos are better than tacos. I do enjoy a good taco salad though.

Have the same issue with the dash corner by the vent. I thought it was just mine. I also have that window trim issue. I have the limited trdoffroad. I want the trd pro but really looking forward to the trailhunter model. Thank you again for your reviews and honesty. I agree with the arm rest on the doors. Fantastic idea. I wish the analog cluster was more up to date. Especially would like the boost gauge. Did any of the models you drove have squeaking brakes?

Another Great Video AMD ! I was under the impression that Toyota reserves the Block TOYOTA lettering on the grill of only the toughest and top model that’s available for that production year .. thought I read that somewhere .. is that a new lift you have the Tundra on ?

Great and top notch video. I got one last month. Only concern I have is whether or not the twin turbos will blow in the near future.

I got a third-gen SR5 with the TRD Off-Road premium package and some other bits...it's the best of both worlds and no hybrid, moonroof or gaudy Pro red trim. However, I had a second-gen SR5 and there were many things about the interior that seemed better than the new trucks. Regardless, It's a far better ride and the improved torque is noticeable. The over-engineering of the rear suspension is impressive.

Sweet Truck, might need to remortgage the house to pay for one.

Pickups are for the affluent and rich. They are not for working people or middle class people anymore.

Hi, what are your thoughts on a 2015 Venza V6 with 100,000 miles? Thanks 👍

Thanks for another Great video about a Great TRUCK, Yes haters I called it a TRUCK. I got my new 22 Tundra TRUCK last month and I am super thrilled with everything about it. I know it will give me 10 years of great service and the next owner many many more.

Can't wait till 2030 when I can afford one👍

I was waiting for this review. Now I can buy it confidently.

Amd...did you purposely omit what's underneath the hood? 🤔

@Car Care Nut if you have no intentions of going off road with the truck ( I am 67) is this still the trim you would recommend? Also, I cannot afford a Capstone.

Thought that camo pattern was greasy fingerprints... They kind of went overboard with all the "TRD" stuff on the interior.

That's one big fugly angry truck. I will keep my '17 tacoma. I despise that grille. It's a non-starter. And a hybrid to boot. I hope Toyota likes these because they will own these for a long time.

This man is the real deal. Thank you!!

Am I the only one who is reminded of Batman by your intro music? Lol

use this platform and put a metal box on the back and you got a most reliable working Van. I am sure they will sell ton of them.

I purchased a 2021 Tundra CrewMax Limited and I don’t regret waiting for the 2022. I love my 5.7L V-8. I understand I pay for it in fuel mileage but I am not yet a fan of the V-6 twin turbo. I just hope my 21 Tundra lasts my 12 years.

Your tundra will last you twice that with a regular maintenance and normal driving habits. 5.7 is pretty much bulletproof engine.

I had been holding off getting rid of my F150 and all of its dependability problems. When Toyota announced they were going to a short-lived V6 turbo or a hybrid to pull my four open an enclosed trailers, I went out and beat the bushes for a nice late model low mile tundra. my experience over the last 6000 miles with my 2020 tundra crew Max has been nothing short of wonderful. I took it on a trip from Central Illinois to western Montana and all of the different roads and speeds that it entails. I can care less about the gas mileage. I want horsepower torque, firm feel, comfort, safety, and this truck gives me all of those. The truck now has 30,000 miles on the odometer and I purchased it as a Toyota Certified preowned with the included Warranty’s. I am quietly looking for a last chance 2021 of the same styling and power. I know there are some out there with less than 5000 miles on them and I will just drag my feet to find one somewhere in the US. I believe the 2021 high horse high torque, gas, sucking tundra, is the last great pick up made for True pick up people with true pick up needs. By the way, I’m a former smalltown Chevrolet dealer and the Toyota dealer in Muscatine. Iowa does not charge any Jack fees, additional except a reasonable dock fee. They don’t force you to buy all the other crap like the Shottenkirk chain of stores and so many others.

Got my 2017 TRD pro taco, tundra was too big for trails in my opinion, almost at 30k miles and runs like a dream still!

I’d love to hear what you think of the upcoming Prius!! Great video, I just can’t get in this new Tundra

Thanks… I’ll keep my 2020 Platinum 4x4 with the 5.7 V8 and TRD dual exhaust.

At the start i give 👍becouse this car looks amazing. I never seen in my country.

I love this trim as well but I wish I could afford it.

TeXtMe DiReCtLy 📊📊,

i’m glad that you are ripping them a new one. it is unacceptable for Toyota to charge premium prices for the level of fit and finish.

Ok, I’ve watched many hours of your videos, they are excellent and I have learned a lot 😊. Now i have a serious question and want some advice: I have purchased a new 2024 Tundra SR5 TRD off road crew cab. I have owned many Toyotas and all have been great, that said, I’m worried about this new twin turbo V6, and I want to keep my truck for a long time. I did NOT buy an extended warranty, but after watching a lot of KZread videos and forums, I’m doubting my decision. Do you recommend buying an extended warranty for these trucks? I have the non-hybrid engine, and thought by buying it I would be safer long term since there is less to go wrong. However, reports are the non-hybrid models are actually having more issues than hybrid, but not sure that’s true. Would you spend $2,500 for an extended warranty to protect a Gen 3 Tundra to 7yrs/100k miles through a dealer? I change my own oil, at 3-4K miles, and will at the dealer for 10k services, and will do all scheduled maintenance early, but even so do you think it’s worth having an extended warranty for this platform? I’m not rich, and $2,500 is a grip of money, but my local dealer will allow me to Finance the warranty at 0% interest for a couple years. What are your thoughts?? PLEASE HELP 😊

That red interior must haver been inspired by old pics of Elvis in Vegas.

I'm surprised you (as a mechanic) don't own a Tundra or even a Tacoma!

Not in the market for a truck but listened to this wonderful review. I’m more of a Sequioa guy. And awaiting your review of the suv version of the Tundra.

@The Hemwick Hag so well put.

Great video as always. I’m glad I got to experience Toyota’s rise in the late 70s and their hay days of the 80s because I will never own another new one after buying a 2021 Tacoma. I’ll keep my 85 and 88 running forever and leave them to my kids. While some will really like this truck, I see it as a gigantic example of how Toyota lost it’s way. 1. Expensive beyond the reach of 95% of buyers 2. TRD Overbadging 3. Fake exhaust noise- really? 4. Poor quality control 5. Electrical nightmare past warranty period 6. Turbo failure imminent I fully expect to see repair videos on this truck in the coming years (and Toyota will reap those costs as well)

You forgot to mentioned........a lot of these Toyota's are now built in Mexico/ U.S. and Canada. Only if they were build in Japan like most older ones....the fit to finished would be Superior! Quality control and etc!

I'm currently saving up for either the Tundra or the Tacoma. I've watched dozens of videos on both now and I'm mixed on which one to go for. One option that I'm considering is getting the Tacoma for a few years than trade it in for the Tundra, but I'm just looking for a Reliable Toyota which I know both are.
