What's your choice? Tacoma or Tundra?

Tundra for the towing but the 4.7 I had a Dakota V8 so that would be a nice upgrade

I own a Tacoma, but if I could afford to buy a good tundra and afford the gas, I would buy the tundra.😊

The gas definitely adds up quickly lol

Cannot go wrong with a 4.0L Tacoma. Reliable and durable. I have the OTT tune on mine which adjusts throttle response and shift points and its been fantastic. Will eventually rebuild and install a procharger with a few upgrades to internals but from what I've researched, Toyota over engineered these engines so they might not be very powerful or fast bone stock. BUT, they do not wear out like the majority of other engines with proper maintenance intervals. Hence why you still see so many of them on the road today going strong. The bottom ends on these are so robust they are often compared to LS engines with how beefy the bearing caps are. The crankshaft is a thick boy too.

Canadian Gearhead, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!

2018 & up access cab trd off-road looks like a nice sweet spot on the newer side. Or an 18 tundra double cab

Great insight as usual, good exercise for any vehicle purchase!

Thanks for watching!

Tacoma, unless you absolutely need to regularly haul or tow. In my experience most guys with full size pickups just drive them on the road and could get away with a camry. Plus aftermarket.

Coming from a 2014 Tacoma access cab with a 6 speed, traded in for a 2014 tundra double cab, the only thing I miss was the manual. The tundra is just a bigger, heavier, more powerful Tacoma. Can’t go wrong with either, but the tundra fits the family, so that’s what we went with.

Great review..I own a 2014 sport access cab ..if im honest with myself its the perfect truck for me and my yorkie..put a cap on and now the fishing poles and golf clubs get used...I do love the Tundra but from $$ standpoint I'd be paying for desires then needs. You have nice trucks too.

My neighbor and I towed our 2 horses and her trailer for years with her Tundra, great towing MPG and she didn't burn out brakes. Used Michelin tires which cost as bit more, but they lasted and lasted forever.

They're definitely workhorses!

Tundra 1794 for the win! 😅 More space, solid ride/drive/tow, plus a 38-gallon gas tank to drive 500 miles straight without refilling. 😊 Great comparison you did there.

I owned a 2021 limited trd off road 4x4 double cab and I’ll give an unbiased opinion, (owned a ton of 4Runner and Tacoma trd off roads in multiple generations) the seat was pretty comfortable and the 5.7 is definitely the main strength and pro of the car, road trips were absolutely the best in it compared to 4Runner and Tacoma Payload sucks, worse than my 4cylinder 4x4 regular cab Tacoma, felt like Toyota really dropped the ball on that Off roading besides a fire trail sucks especially compared to a 4Runner or even Tacoma trd off road City daily driving isn’t too bad obviously street mpg sucks but freeway mpg wasn’t too far from 4Runner and taco I got about 16mpg freeway doing 70 75 lifted with big tires Parking is kinda a pain since a lot of lots are small so you constantly worry about door dings, u turns suck I think its a beautiful truck and mine had the pro exhaust which I absolutely loved Basically it’s like a giant Tacoma without the off road goodies but you do get a more comfy seat and of course that wonderful 5.7 It’s basically a light duty truck and a good family hauler if y’all are 6 feet and taller including the kids

I agree with all that!

Toyota issued an interim recall for 22-23 Tundras for blown engines. Can you make a video about that?

I'll dig into it

I own a 2012 TRD sport 4x4 double cab in manual, is the only raason I don't own a tundra is because they don't have manuals 🥺🥺but I love my taco and having a sprint booster adds to the fun of driving it 😎👍🏽

Can't argue there

Buy the Tundra - then work smarter.

Stop it. Forget about it.
