You won't believe this price! 2021 Toyota Tundra Platinum

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The 2021 Toyota Tundra Platinum is one heck of a truck for just $55k. Now, that's still a lot of money, but it was pretty surprising to see that price on a Tundra Platinum.

    Love the way you worded it. "Depends what's important to you" All too many times the Tundra gets slandered for it's lack of features and poor MPG. I made the switch from owning two GM trucks that's didn't serve me well. After that, I choose Tundra for reliability reasons. Have never found myself wishing or hoping for certain features. Serves me and my family just fine!

    I agonized over what to buy for a year and a half; Tundra, F150, Ram, Silverado. For what you get for the price I was willing to pay for equivalent trims, I went Tundra. Things that pushed me over the edge was reliability, resale, and SIMPLICITY. The big 3 packages required me to get so many options I DIDN"T want in order to get the one thing I did want that it inflated the total price to stupid levels. Very aggravating. Wasn't that way on the Tundra. Had it a little over a year and I am still very happy with my choice.

I had a 2013 so I didnt have the folding seat option. So they changed the bolts for the liner and deleted the transmission cooler.... :) Maybe that paid for the 3 piece bumper engineering?

    Thanks Tim and Jill! You did a fair evaluation and leave it to the various fan boys to defend each brand. Welcome to pickup owner world. My biggest takeaway was your comment that it depends on what you want. Jill, for $20K more you can have a jazzier interior, but is that your best return on investment? You can buy a lot of gas for 20K, for those who are comparing MPG's. I'm still driving a 2016 Tundra (51K) and when I get in it I know I'll get where I need to go, whether its to the store or across the state. But again, it's everyone's money and I don't criticize others for how they choose to spend it. Be safe!

    My last truck was a loaded '18 F150 XLT, and have about 10k miles on my new '21 Tundra TRD Pro. The Toyota is a fantastic truck, and will really enjoy my time with it. But the Ford is head and shoulders the better all around truck, in fact it's not even in the same universe. Ride on the FORD is miles ahead, and just seemed a step or two above in nearly every category except maybe mild/extreme off-roading. The Tundra definitely rides and feels like a 3/4 ton, which I like. Let's see what Toyota comes up with in the redesign, but likely back to a Ford for me.

    You really think this top level Tundra Platinum has a nicer looking interior than a comparable new Denali or High Country? Makes me wonder if you have a bias either for or against something? I even found a 07 GM truck to have a nicer interior than an 07 Tundra and the pre-14 GM trucks interior sucked balls. Toyotas gated (or whatever you call it) auto shifter deal is like the worst ever put in a vehicle. I've always hated it regardless of the vehicle. On the other hand save the column shifters.

    @@JROC734 seriously, please go look at the 1794 Tundra. That brown leather interior blows the High Country away. I may like the Toyota but I admit that all of them Copied the Ford F-150 King Ranch and it looks better than both. So no I am not being bias. Save the column shift you say? Well it's very well known that the new Denali will have a push button shifter. So I can't wait to see what you have to say about that. If it came down to the best interior we would be shopping the Ram and F-150 anyway, not the Tundra or Sierra. Now that is unbias.

    @@willardgentry6624 I say GM going to a push button gear selector is stupid and unnecessary, but what do I know.?.? Maybe that will help sell trucks, but I'm not a fan of the Rams shift knob. I've known GM was going to do this since it's been public. Trying to get away from a column shifter is fixing what isn't broken. It's as stupid as when GM and everyone else who jump on the eletric parking brake bandwagon did so. The column is legitimately the best location and setup for an automatic transmission, and it makes for a great hand rest when towing. Console shifters use up space that could be utilized for something else. At least a push button setup is out the way of the console, but it's kind of corny and unnecessary. Save the column shifters. Toyota fans don't know what to think. For like 6-7 after the GEN2 Tundra was released all that the die hard, traditional Toyota fans would do was bytch about it, (and I've heard quite a few hating on it) claiming it was a POS, and nowhere near as well built or reliable as a GEN1 Tundra. I even had a used car salesman steer me away from a GEN2 Sequoia saying that the GEN1 Sequoia is one of the best SUV's in its class ever, but for whatever reason the GEN2's had issues and wasn't a good buy. Then around 13/14, and a 1 million mile truck hitting the internets everyone wants to claim the GEN2 trucks as the most reliable vehicles ever made. So what is it? Is it lacking in build quality with noticeable issues, or is it the most reliable truck ever? IDK, I've never been that impressed with them even in 07. Their drivetrain I've always thought was pretty good, but they just felt like they were a generation out of date. Their refinement felt more comparable to my 03 Lightning than a GEN11 F150 or 07+ GM truck. That doesn't mean it's a bad truck as your older GEN10 F150's and Silverado/Sierra from the late 90's/early 2000's were very good and reliable trucks, but they weren't as modern/refined/comfortable as the trucks that replaced them. Maybe it would of been different if Toyota had gone with a fully-boxed the frame, but again IDK. I agree the 1794 has very nice leather. I don't like the wood grain, but the leather is very nice. Again the GEN2 Tundra has never impressed me compared to everything else. I even preferred the GEN1 Titan to it even though the Titan was a cheaper feeling truck. Maybe its layout is too Japanese for me. I much prefer GM's simpler, better flowing interior lines. Really the only big knock with the GM interior is the 8" screen being small compared to Ram and Fords higher-end models. The 8" displays in my SS 1LE and my wifes Taurus SEL doesn't bother me at all. In fact rarely do I use them while I'm driving, and when I do use them I find them 100% adequate for navigation, or adjusting the climate controls, or changing an audio setting, etc. Point being is the GM's interior being lacking is overplayed. IMO it's up there with a 15-20 F150's meaning it's okay. Dodge just knocked one out the park with the 19 Ram, and GM didn't build as elegant or fancy of an interior on their new 19 models and everyone wants to act like they're a POS because of it. The new GM trucks are still nice places to be in with plenty of tech, the design is just not as visually appealing as some others, and some of their knobs and button feel more budgeted. That's really nothing new for GM though, but it's still overhyped by people wanting to hate on them. Really the interior of the 14 GM trucks was a huge leap forward for GM, and the new trucks are at least on par with the previous generations interior. With all that said I personally don't care to spend for any of the higher-end models. I would like a Sierra AT4 which is fairly higher-end at least in $, but I'm more of a loaded XLT, LT Tailboss/RST, nicely optioned Big Horn kind of shopper, and with what is currently on the market the GM 3L Duramax and 6.2L with the 10 speeds are the drivetrains that most make me want to open my wallet.

    Great review. I’m a big Toyota fan owned a 2000,2005 and 2014 platinum. Great trucks never had any issues other than changing timing belt ls in the gen1. But I’m a tech and features person so I sold my platinum Tundra and purchased a ford. It’s a 2021 so no issues so far but it’s a no comparison to the tech and comfort features. From storage and charging ports in the back for the kids, to the creature comfort in the front. Can’t say anything bad about the tundra it took us to countless vacations and back home safely. But the ford does it with a little more comfort and better fuel economy.

The ‘21 and earlier are now, unequivocally, the Standard bearers for Tundra. Precisely why I just purchased a low mileage, 1 owner, ‘21 Tundra Platinum coming off of lease.

    55K is a good chunk of money to spend on a vehicle. but if you keep it for the next 20 years, and with the overall durability and the fact so little goes wrong or breaks- on a per-day cost of ownership may not be all that terrible along with the resale values. It a very good vehicle for the money and in the end if it's what you want and like well that is all that matters. I am thinking of buying one myself, I just have a hard problem getting my head around that my first truck new out the door was 3300 dollars and it was a Chevy 3/4 ton with a V-8 and four on the floor. Now that figure would not cover the sales tax and registration and the other tack on BS when you buy one of these. I am seeing previous owned Tundras listed and the prices are hitting around 62k, it's nuts out there.

My buddy is on his second Tundra - his last truck he put 480K miles on it and (about 2 years ago) sold it to a guy that works for his (construction company) and bought a new Tundra...that guy is now pushing 600K miles, while my buddy is pushing 200K on his new Tundra. While Toyota is DEFINITELY not up to par with Ford and Dodge on convenience features, newness, creature comforts, etc - some folks just want a dependable truck. Toyota may be taking the mantra - If it ain't broke don't fix it - to another level, but I certainly understand and appreciate it as I do the dependability of Toyota trucks.

    Thanks the detailed review of this Tundra platinum trim. In addition to the lack of adjustable pedals, the missing grab handle on the driver’s side (front) is a glaring omission in my opinion. Baffling why Toyota doesn’t have offer it as a standard feature on Tundras and Tacomas. It’s a cheap change, and they could add $100 to the price to recoup. Without the grab handle, it makes for awkward (inelegant) entry or exit. If you’re not 6 feet tall, you’re compelled to grab onto the steering to hoist yourself up. My F150 has grab handles for each door, and it’s something that I relish everyday. Nowadays, truck is a popular choice for many individuals of all genders and body types. A grab bar for all doors promotes inclusivity and accessibility, regardless of body type or ability. It’s also for safety. It’s saved me from injury a few times during winter when the stepping bars were often slippery (think Canadian winter). When I slipped I didn’t fall as I my left hand held onto the grab handle. If I had relied on the steering wheel, it might spin and I’d fall. Small part, but hard to overlook if they don’t incorporate it as standard on the upcoming 2022 Toyota Tundra, especially.
