  • Andre, Judging by your reaction I have to ask, is this the first pickup with an 8 foot bed ever seen on TFL? ;-) Steve, thanks for introducing us to a genuine work truck in basic, highly functional specification. Good luck with your new Tundra! As you usually own your trucks for a long time, please come back in yearly intervals to keep us updated. We really NEED to know if the turbo V6 and 10 speed transmission are as good as the powertrain they replaced. 🙂

    • @@TFLtruck Andre, No offense was intended. Maybe I should have been more specific and said 1/2 ton pickup with an 8 foot bed. Many old-timers like myself still consider pickups as work vehicles as opposed to 'lifestyle choices' so we expect a 3 ton truck to be able to carry a few sheets of plywood or a bunch of 2X4s with the tailgate closed. Many of us grew up around station wagons that could hold that kind of load. Come to think of it, my car can carry 8 foot 2X4s inside with its fold-forward front passenger seat. If I am loading a handful of 2X4s inside my compact wagon and see a $60,000 pickup with 8 foot 2X4s dangling 3 feet beyond the tailgate, I chuckle. At the end of the day, some of us just like to see modern half-ton pickups capable of doing the things low-tech trucks did very easily decades ago.

    • "While Americans can’t seem to get enough of the mid-size pickups from Japanese automakers, they absolutely shun their full-size trucks. According to data from WardsIntelligence, the highest market share Toyota has seen with Tundra was 9.1% and that was in 2007. It currently hovers in the 5% range. It’s even worse for Nissan. The best the Titan was able to muster was 3.5% of the market in 2005. Today it’s at 1.5%. With the Detroit Three commanding 94% of full-size pickup sales this year, it might almost make more sense for Toyota and Nissan to share a large truck platform." Autoline

  • See how difficult it was for the Owner to get onto the tailgate. Take note Toyota of the other truck manufacturers that have easier and convenient gadgets to get in the bed of the truck. Toyota even rounded off the rear bumper making it even harder to get in the back of the bed. I won’t even get started on the tow hooks. Definitely keeping my 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for a very long time.

    • @@greatcornholio5541 in parts of Europe I believe there's a mandatory headlamp sprayer requirement. Pretty sure I can rig something up (spray & heat} that will do the trick to keep the sensors running. I travel a lot overseas and experience these problems with every new rental vehicle that have these type of sensors installed. In general I think it's a half-baked idea. Many times when I'm overtaking another vehicle my vehicle suddenly breaks very sharply. I've had to adapt my driving Style to the computerized safety system. Definitely not a fan. A few weeks ago overseas my rental vehicle braked on its own very sharp. The vehicle behind me braked very sharp and the vehicle behind him hit him. On the other hand in an emergency braking situation in aggressive driving it suddenly comes into play and it's useful though it's still a half-baked idea

Ride quality, fit and finish, towing, hauling, general power…you can tell they made a major effort to totally reinvent the truck. Averaging 19mpg mixed driving which is a huge upgrade alone.

You could then spill red wine on your seat and pretty much just wipe it off with a damp cloth and it will never show... even on pale fabric... repeat the treatment every couple years... (also works on any fabric!)

If they don't fit between the wheel wells then the Toyota engineers are completely out of touch with construction needs. 5'x5' Scaffold frames also need to fit between the box sides.

Other than that, eveything works, nothing broken, cracked.......well built machine. My wifes 2006 Highlander has 311k still runs great. Glad I bought Toyotas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I used to have a 2008 Tundra DC 4wd and just bought me a 2015 Sequoia Plat 4x4. Love them. Best American built truck! Little things like that rear exterior door handle irk me. Toyota did a great design hiding that rear door handle and for a redesign just to show they made a change they un-innovate. Same with the rear seat cupholders. Used to be a great stow away design and now they are static and protruding. Why regress?

  • A truck bed that’s 49” between the wheel wells eliminates almost every full size slide in camper out there. You would have to put a compact sized slide in camper or specialized canopy like 4 wheel campers Project M. They have an ok payload. Not great, but enough for lightweight units. Big mistake. The domestic brand name full size trucks are at least 51 inches.

IMO, this wheelbase with a crew cab would be a good configuration for those looking for a bit longer bed in a crew cab.

  • It's interesting that the owner noted the new truck's bed being narrower. I am not super familiar with the older Tundras, but I suspect it's due to the design of the new sheet molded composite bed. The interior bed sides look like they don't have the same concavity that you get with a stamped steel bed. Unless you are regularly filling the bed with loose material like pea gravel or dirt, that extra volume is pretty useless. Let's say you are loading boxes, there isn't much you can do with that extra bit of space.

    @aaronbehindbars@aaronbehindbars2 жыл бұрын
    • What possible reason do you have for rationalizing cost cutting? It's significantly narrower, has less usable space, and is now composite. This is unacceptable in a 40k+ truck. Toyota fans will do the craziest mental gymnastics to pretend their trucks aren't hot garbage.

    • @@goddzirra I'm not a Toyota fan if you were referring to me. I haven't owned a Toyota in 12 years and didn't love that truck (Tacoma). Who's to say that composite bed doesn't cost more to manufacture than a steel bed? Those composite beds have their advantages, too. It was one feature I liked on my Tacoma and like the composite bed on my Ridgeline. It will never rust, doesn't dent, and it doesn't need to have a spray on lining to protect it. GMC also offers a composite bed in the Sierra and it is an extra cost option. They seem pretty robust.

    • To me that's its biggest downfall. All new pickup trucks are great. It's the mechanical longevity that counts. If you keep your vehicle over 5 years. That's usually about the hundred plus thousand Mile Mark for me. It would be nice to see reviews from people who have models of trucks still brand new on dealers lots. The ram classic nothing has changed with the driveline, you can still find the old body style tundra brand new on lots there may be one or two more I can't think of. Show some hundred thousand mile reviews of those trucks. That would be the selling point for me

I don’t care what anyone says the higher trims will depreciate a lot. People complain about the detuned engine in the SR, but I bet it lasts much longer. The tow rating is lower but realistically you shouldn’t be towing more than 7000 lbs with a half ton.

  • I've owned my 22 tundra for about two weeks now. Let me rewind. I had a 20 rebel for almost 2 years. I loved that truck but the GMC Sierra at4 caught my eye with the 3.0 Diesel. I traded my rebel in on the GMC and 2400 mile in the GMC I possessed the truck for 2 out of 6 weeks. Kept throwing check engine lights and the techs didn't prove competent on what was wrong. They were throwing darts at the board so I traded it in on the tundra. Not my first pick but it was the reliability I was looking for. This tundra I'm slowly starting to fall in love with. I thought I'd be looking for something later but the truck has plenty of power. I thought it would lack torque but the V6 has plenty. Very happy with it.
