Thanks for watching!
Trucks are sure getting Luxurious
I was waiting for this review🔥 Sick video Topher🔥
The audio and image quality of your car review videos is first rate!
I am looking forward to your video of a Capstone or even a TRD Pro.
The 5.7L V8 sounds amazing, but holy crap the blow off valve and turbo noise in this with my headphones on is absolutely insane especially for a stock pick up.
Thanks Topher, I love your uploads!
It’s a shame the 5.7L V8 isn’t offered anymore but for a gas engine of this size 11000 lbs of towing capacity is still pretty impressive
They should do what Ford did and offer a V8 option for those who want it.
Toyota is all-in on downsized cc's and hybrid powertrains. The V8 is dead.
If you actually drive both back to back, the TTV6 is actually better in every single way with the exception of sound, smoothness and reliability (which is still currently unknown).
They really should offer a twin turbo V8 as an option!
With today's technology, it doesn't make as much sense to have so many cylinders. Over time the amount will be reduced.
This has helped me pick out a new car
I have been waiting for this review.
Never see CarPlay in such a big screen, it’s impressive!!!
This is the most Beautiful pickup truck i ever seen.
This Tundra is absolutely lovely. I love it; recently rented a Toyota Tundra not too long ago and I loved it so much. Essentially one of my favorite full-sized pickup trucks.
Nice, what trim was the rental?
@@awesomeashton I do not remember
@@bigdexmedia5233 Ah alright
Try driving a RAM first
Now that’s a test drive, I love the color, you described and put the truck through its paces, you gave your opinions and the music was 2 thumbs. Subscribed!
The design of this pickup truck is nice than other pickup truck today
Test drove one back to back with the ram, power felt great, rides well too, only complaint was wind noise at highway speed, some weird wind buffeting too.
On TFL channel they found this new generation has one of the quietest interiors while towing, which would be louder than normal driving. If it was a windy day that alone would make a huge difference on wind noise, also would explain the wind buffeting you experienced
So happy they redesigned the rear bumper foot step
I'm surprised how good the clip of the sound system sounded. Hopefully it sounds that good in person when I get mine.
I might have landed a Supersonic Red Platinum. 😀 Once it’s done it’s display at the Auto Show. I’m sure the new engine will work better with higher flow intake, exhaust. I’d love to see a turbo upgrade down the line.
stunning
Toyota ❤❤
That backwindow being let down truly caught everybody off guard especially me and I used it as heavily as if I had a sunroof/moon roof
Wishing the same infotainment system and instrument cluster for all other Toyota models, too.
I really like this car Big engine its perfect for chill on the inside Nice size monitor in the car and seems like a very good perfomance like you say in the video overall very Nice car
“Big engine.” Is a V6. You call that big??🤣
@@OscarRamos-ql4io Displacement is smaller obviously, but the twin turbos more than make up for it. The new v6 makes more power. It's a "big" engine.
Thanks ✌🏽
I picked up my red platinum a few days ago. First off I love it, still learning a lot about it - but I do have a few gripes with it. The heads up display even at max brightness is really dim with sun glasses on. Also, I don't think the wireless charger has picked up my iphone 13 pro max once. Even so, I love the truck and am happy I went with Toyota over the Ford Platinum.
Is your sunglasses polarized? My wifes heads up display is the same when I wear polarized sunglasses.
You should add a washboard road to your test loop to showcase how well the vehicle is bolted together, just a thought.
I never thought in a million years I would say this, but god damn it this thing sounds good! Sounds like a v8!
That's because they pump-in fake engine noise into the cabin. Ford does the same thing on F-150s and EcoBoost.
@TheTopher Do you have plans to drive the new alfa romeo?
Love Toyota !
Scotty loves you back
I also like Toyota cars a lot
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this model one of the new tundras that play simulated exhaust sounds through the cabin speakers? To simulate the low pitch of a v8
That’s a cute little truck
Do you have a part number for the rear step?
Cool..... when you gonna reviews the hyundai i30 n
Odd comparison but was going to get a 2022 jeep gladiator rubicon diesel but I may reconsider for this truck
Good reviews.
Can you do one for a new f250 7.3 Godzilla?
Chris, The greater capability of the TRD Off-Road package is a step up from the previous Tundra but you cannot get it with the utility of the 8 foot bed. This omission really undermines the weekend flexibility some might want from their work truck. The downsized interior is another mystery from the TNGA team.
You buy a 5,500lb truck and it's not even big enough to carry a 2x4 without sticking out. If you don't have an 8-foot long bed there is no point in having a truck.
@@mbox314
You missed the cool button on the tail light to release the tailgate.
would of loved to get one of these but my dealers said I had to wait a year and a half so i went and ordered a Chevy and It's gonna be here this summer
Don't the rear seat headrests fold down? My 19 ram they do
OMG This is So Cool
You missed the Driver side rear taillight tailgate button.
Looked under 1000 miles.. hold strong turbos!
I wish toyota will make more limited edition 4x4 crewmax.. because its been 4 months now, im still waiting, but its no available.. i dont understand.
the modernising of the truck is impressive...but comes with a massive sticker price..I still think I would rather buy an old Tundra with the V8. Less tech and easier/cheaper to maintain
what do you think of the v8 mileage?
@@koaladoeseverything Its probably the biggest draw back of the V8 especially now with the increase in gas prices…I don’t own one of these trucks yet, I’ve been looking a lot, prices are still high and now gas too 🙃
@@gus5918 Very true. The market for Hybrid and EVs are way up due the the weak economy. So the New Hybrid Tundra is very ideal in my option. But of course the badass V8 provides much drive pleasure 😫
@@koaladoeseverything agreed! The new turbo six by itself Is like 20-21 mpg overall? Hybrid has to be even better! But, with all the new tech and turbos it can’t be as reliable as a natural V8!
@@gus5918 Very true again. Toyota is known for their long-lasting naturally aspirated engines.
I have the new limited trd off road. Anyone else find the upper window armrest uncomfortable? The thing is padded, but the sharp corner gets a little dead arm after a short while of driving.
The tundra has been growing on me especially since seeing the colour matched grill on the capstone. Just need to get some of the grill paint matched and there you go ugly grill not so ugly anymore. Still think I prefer the latest generation ram bighorn tho
I have the worst luck with people hitting me in the back back into me so a simple tailgate is perfect for me I do not need anything fancy and by the way I think it does have a little fancy button on there that does the trick
Topher, what’s your take on so many manufacturers not offering black headliners . It drives me nuts !!
For the tundras you need to get the platinum I think, which sucks
Huge truck
Is it possible to put that engine into the Tacoma?
My dad owns a 2021 trd sport tundra calvery blue! But he wants to get a 2022 tundra which is kinda silly but he needs to get it beacuase his current truck isn’t AWD, he used to own a raptor but unfortunately sold it now he’s thinking about buying a new tundra or another raptor or even a trx
I really want to see a review / POV of exhaust systems for the new tundras. Drove a 2015 for 6 years with straight pipe
❤❤❤
I might have missed it, but does this one have front recovery hooks?
No
See I like the tundra it's a classy truck to be honest, If i had a choice between a tundra and a ford raptor....the raptor's interior just hits different.
Toyota should consider bringing back the V8 with twin turbos and a stock lift and big all terrain tires, that could be a new Ivan Stewart edition to compete with the Ford Raptor, Ram TRX and Silverado RST/Trail Boss! That would be sick.
I don’t like the back seat room and was disappointing not to see a flat rear floor. We put our big dogs in the back of the truck so the flay floor is a nice feature in my current truck, 2019 Ram 1500. I don’t think I’ll be upgrading as I had planned to the Tundra. I will be looking at what Chevy has to offer soon. With their restyle. That or a F150 might do me well
Why not just keep the ram?
I was looking at these only to upgrade my 19 ram laramie... don't think I can commit haha
@@onlinealias622 I have it still and I’m thinking too. We have had a lot of issues with the truck luckily all covered with warranty but the main warranty is up now. All electronic or feature issues. The power train is amazing in the Ram I love how it drives, the power, the economy is not bad either. The cab space I think is the best out of any in the crew cab trucks. It’s got a lot of rear seat space
@@davidgrunklee8407 same. Prices are quite wild also. Although trade in is suppose to be good as well. Hard equation lol. I still have mine now
Im debating to trade my 2020 pro to a 2022 limited...
Hello is it petrol????
That wind noise sounded pretty loud, is that normal for large trucks?
That's why u have a radio to play music lol. It doesn't bother me at all in my tundra.
I wonder if the touch screen have screen protector like iphone screen protecter. If they do, where can i get one
It has a protective coating from the factory which is good enough. It’s not like you’re going to take out of the truck and carry it around.
Not buying until Toyota solves the Turbo waste gate sensor problem!
its my dad's favorite truck 🚚 🛻 🎉😊👍👍🏾
The fact that Toyota still doesn't offer a 4WD Auto or full-time 4WD system (when they offer such excellent and reliable true full time 4WD systems in the 4Runner, Lexus GX, Lexus LX, and Land Cruiser) in the Tundra mystifies me.
I think it might have to do with fuel economy, full-time 4WD probably creates more drag and hurts fuel economy and the engine has to transfer power to all four wheels, all the time
“Much more fuel efficient”, where did you get this information? I owned a 2016 Limited which was slightly more efficient than my 2022…
That screen is H U G E !
This truck looks amazing but I don’t know why they ditched the V8 and put a V6 in it
Just priced a limited off road 4x4 with options and it was $62k!
That’s not bad at all. Count the fact that a lot of people are apparently paying over $70k and $80k for a full package tundra
Takes me a few seconds to figure out if it's Topher or Doppletopher
Ps... that cool engine sound is piped in.
My biggest gripe is that the Hybrid version just isn't compelling compared to the F150 Hybrid for me. An actual inverter/generator is something I would definitely want from a full size truck. It marginally beats the F150 on price, but not features or options (including trailer back-up assist).
Am I a crazy stubborn old grandpa for thinking the touchscreen is too big? I guess it just sticks out a bit too much on the dash. LOVE the analog gauges though.
Thankfully you don’t need to get the large touchscreen and you can keep the analog gauges
@@logandeering7947 the large screen shouldn't exist anyway. Its a driving tool not a Netflix watching tool.
In person it isn’t as bad IMO. I’d prefer a smaller one, but the small touchscreen in the new tundras looks bad. It was clearly designed for the big one.
I would be interested if you would do a video with a cross comparison between this and an F150 3.5 ecoboost. I'd be curious to know if the power difference is actually noticeable.
I've really warmed up to the new Tundra since its specs were confirmed. The TT V6 is perfect; better performance and MPG than the outgoing V8 and it should be just as or nearly reliable too. I would not be interested in a hybrid for maintenance reasons. To me, this new powertrain is awesome.
I honestly expected better in the design and has yet to grow on me. I also believe the engine is having major turbo issues as there are many reports and videos online with owner's trucks parked with low mileage.
@@27Zangle And it doesn’t get better gas mileage at all… the v6 is for emissions that’s it, there’s no point in having one
@@27Zangle what’s wrong with the turbos?
@@v8_sami - Waste gate issues. Sometimes it happens with less than 500 miles on the truck and makes it undrivable. There is a shortage of parts right now and some trucks have to wait months. It also requires the cab to be removed for repair and some owners are not too happy having that happen with their trucks.
Not a big fan of the hybrid tundra replacing the serpentine belt at 150,000 MI you're going to have to take the whole body off the frame considering most people keep these tundra's forever that's going to be a major expense so it'd be best to save up for it
Not all the tundras are hybrid
This thing sounds like a car from GTA5
Kind of glad I got a F150 after seeing this.
I hate the new front. If not for the new front i like the changes
It’s artificial exhaust sound. Limited and above use it
"beautiful job with its responsiveness.." he says as it lags from zooming
🤑🤑🤑
Wouldn't it be great IF TOYOTA GAVE CONSUMERS A STEEL FRONT BUMPER AND A REAR LIKE ITS PREDECESSORS? MAYBE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A WINTCH ATTACHMENT AS AN OPTION? HOW ABOUT YELLOW AMBER TURNING LIGHTS FOR THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS instead they give you a cheap plain old red. Why do I say this, is because yellow is a bit more noticeable than red that blends in with the brake lights.
Why cant these damn truck manufacturers just keep the back a flat loading floor?
The new generation is absolutely beautiful, but doing away with their V8 is a disappointment.
Sales are going to drop with these gas prices...
Sounds like a motorcycle. =)
Exactly, so weird
those fender flare made the truck look so damn cheap.
Toyota's 360 camera view is so poorly executed. I don't know why they thought people would want a movie of their car when you press the camera button. You can't even select individual cameras.
TONKA
love the redesigned front interior.. but the rear legroom is very disappointing.
An in-line 6 would be cheaper to produce, cheaper to maintain, lighter, easier to work on, and all things being equal, more efficient. It blows my mind how much we haven’t learned from 100 years of making automobiles. Yep not super impressed with $50,000 power boat of a truck
That front outline of the grill is really awful looking. Looks like the 4Runner had some weird mutation...
Needs a lift kit
60k. Ha
Qi wireless chargers are so overrated. Your phone will move around. Just use a wired connection.
As a current Toyota detailer, these new Tundras have been having lots of build quality issues. Rather disappointing. Never saw these issues working at Nissan, and the Titan trucks.
Mhhh
Heard these things have turbo issues and are already being brought to dealers for repair at a very high rate vs the original 5.7. Shame, turbos and trucks don't go together. If toyota is having issues with turbos in a truck thats a big deal.
I have a 23 platinum hybrid. And my biggest complaint is the gas mileage fraud. Something needs to be done about this. They need to be heald accountable for real. The Interior space is hideous. There is nowhere to put anything. This is a home Depot truck for retired people. The hard plastic scratches really easy. This is not a road trip truck. I'm 5'11 I barely fit in the truck. No storage anywhere. Almost impossible to eat lunch in the truck. The engine sounds like a Scandia go-kart and my dealer refuses to turn off the fake sound. The truck feels like it's going to die every time I stop at a stop sign. Stop start technology has a long way to go. But the worst part is the mpgs fraud. I really hope someone files a class action lawsuit against the lies they claimed. I bought the truck based on the mpg rating completely unacceptable. This is my 10th Toyota and by far the worst. I've loved all my other Toyotas. The lack of a home button on the infotainment Center is just completely unbelievable...and the suspension and Driving Experience is harsh. It struggles to go up hill, not the power but the trany. Now the platinum grill is chiping off. The windows are really loud. The dealer ship refuses to fix the broken phone charger and windows.
