Your 37s is what’s cooking your transmission. The high temp transmission light doesn’t come on until it’s really hot you most likely have burnt fluid which reduces lubrication you should change out the fluid

I own a 22 tundra limited hybrid with 15k miles out on it now, and I honestly feel that the lag you are feeling is due to the engine ECU being programmed for a hybrid motor to be installed. I have heard about this lag alot with many non-hybrid owners, but owning the hybrid I can tell you that the "lag" you feel is removed by the hybrid motor on initial accelerating then the engine kicks on and it's such a smooth transition. It's like they never account for that and just did a standard program for all engines hybrid or not.

I have the 23. Everything you said is spot on. Thanks.

Great video_ I recently bought a Limited 4WD TRD OR (NH)- and I really like it (Ive driven it 2 weeks now. The truck was built in August of 2022 and I have not had any lag issues. I had a 2007 Tundra SR5 so I also was impressed by all the cool gadgets the new truck has as you were. I bought It with 17 K miles so It was helpful to hear your year review. Nice looking truck.

Yes crawl control got me out of some deep snow and deep sand when 4 low with locker engaged could not. Gorgeous truck! BC looks amazing. That sucks about the bed I hope someone finds a solution someday

Nice review covering some of the smaller things.

Hey thanks for doing a one year review. In the market for a new truck in the next couple of years. And the new Tundra is high on the list.

Great video. I have a 2022 SR5 off road. Already have over 100,000km on it. I agree with you on the box shaking. The front of my box, just behind the cab, has started to crack. I have seen this on another Gen 3 tundra as well.

You're from BC!!! Glad to see more Canadians doing off road adventures.

After your other shock shoot out where you liked icon out of the ones tested, would you still choose this suspension or the icon kit?

Funny you mention the flat belly... Like a 2005 Nissan Xterra... I love how the front end looks with the cut and bumper. Sounds like Toyota has some major work to do with the tundra still.

We've been towing a TON with out 23 sequoia this past year and i've never seen a trans temp light before. Curious if you've got a sensor issue.

Just curious, and the order of the mods may not have been right to find this out, did you have the transmission cooling issue with the 37s but before the bumper install? It does look like it blocks some of the airflow to the bottom of the radiator where those integrated ATF coolers typically live. If it was already borderline with the big tires, a little loss in airflow might be the final straw. Unrelated, my buddy just got back with some fuel cans and a trasharoo from your shop for me, stoked for the goodies so thank you!

Love the Tundra.

cool, sooo when we getting a team trip video again!?!

Do you think the 37’s are the reason for the transmission overheating?

There is a TSB Update for the throttle lag as well as the start up clunk noise you get every once in a while. They are the same TSB code. Your local dealer should know the code. It took care of both of these issues for me.

Get it tuned to get rid of the throttle lag.

Does it use the top gears with 37’s on the highway? My 11 Tundra never used 6th gear with 35’s, totally needed to be re-geared

I definitely agree that the throttle lag in the regular driving mode is pretty bad. I switch to sport mode any time I will be on highways and it seems to clean it up a lot. Do you think the overheating issues have anything to do with being on 37's? I am running 33's and have a bit over 25k on my truck including several long road trips and the New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route and I have never had that issue

Starting the Friday afternoon just right 🙌🏻 Tecate roja, wrenching and some fools ol’ overland outfitters. Cheers Braeden and gang 🤙🏻

that little throttle lag you discuss around 6:45 is a throttle by wire problem... most cars have this issue

Did you re-gear for the 37's? If not, that will likely resolve your transmission heat issue and improve the fuel economy.

I've done worse than what you described about the transmission over heating. I've not had that happen to me. I've pulled up and over the rocky mountains in Colorado and I offroad alot too. The throttle lag I fully agree and I've taken it in and they say it's normal cause it's a teen speed transmission.

How much lift is on the front and rear with the Elka suspension?

have you had issues with allignment?

Tundy life is pretty dope!

How's the manoeuvrability of the tundra like in tight space? I currently have a Tacoma I like the nimbleness the truck but other than that it is not strong enough to howl my boat in the woods and all my other task. I'm afraid of missing the size of the tacoma in the city and in tigh space but you coming from a tacoma how was you experience in these situation ?

For the transmission lag, try getting the computer flashed at the dealer

Being a Toyota, it’ll slowly but surely improve over time. Perfect time to buy would be refresh in 2026.

How do you guys like running the Mickey T tires? I’ve heard really mixed reviews

Could maybe equate the high tranny temp to the large tires and stock gears

Was it crawl control that "saved" you, or the multi terrain select that adjusted ATRAC? I think ATRAC is tits, but crawl control itself I don't understand the need or desire.

Something up with that overheating tranny. I’ve hauled/towed a lot with my 22 OR including towing 6000lb with a loaded bed in 45’c temps through the Cascades highway. If there was a time for an overheat that would be it.

How’s the cabin noise with the 37”’s compared to the Tacoma?

Wouldn't hurt to inspect the transmission fluid and two or three drain and fill since it overheated.

SR5 has the detuned engine in Canada correct?

What was that soft top thing you had in the truck box??

Glad I watched this. Sticking to a F-350.

Had the bed of my 2019 Tacoma come loose, play in the bushings/composite. Dealership warrantied it after 3 seperate visits. That was at 40k, now 80k and I can feel play again. Please I would buy your solution!

Great review B! I have a gripe with the 3rd gen Tacoma bed rattle issue as well and I've seen folks who shim the bed contact with the frame.

Throttle LEG?

There is no way your tranny should be over heating I have a 22 sr5 and tow a 16 ft trailer and have up to 11k lbs and never had a issue with over heating. Take that back to Toyota and demand they fix it along with the bed rattling. I hate rattling noise in new trucks. Tell ‘em to fix it! Overall I love my new tundra no issues so far! Oh and I get 14 miles per gallon while Towing and 17 when combined without it.

The auto braking and the gas mileage really get annoying to me. My 2016 Ram got almost 5mpg higher. That being said I do LOVE my Tundra. With a little work the thing is a beast for it’s size.

20l per 100 = 12 mpg

That would be annoying if my bed was vibrating but for the money you get what you pay for i bought a fx4 ecoboost in 2014 it has 120 thousand miles on it and i love it its a strong built truck and its before they whent to the aluminum so feel like i got a special one .2014 was the best year for the 150 3.5 ecobeast .

Did you have to relocate your control box on the winch to make it fit?

I think toyota is still having issues perfecting modern transmissions. My 3rd gen taco was terrible in that trans. I traded for a manual. I now have a 5th gen rav4, and it does the same random lag you described on the tundra.

Over heating a trans rated to tow 10k? Thats not good. Even with stock tires, a 6k trailer will be a problem in Arizona summer.

Do you still have your Tacoma?

For the throttle lag get a pedal commander. It makes it feel like you truck gained 100 hp. The commander has many settings for sensitivity and just plugs into the fly by wire connector by the gas pedal. You will love it.

Tiny leg or tiny “lag” at first I thought you were talking about the pedal

Good warning, NEVER buy a new generation vehicle from any manufacture. I have my 🍿ready for the new Tacoma as well.

The access cab is tight in the back seat? Wow, never would have guessed. No one buys an access cab and expects anyone to ride in the back, dude.

Check out the transmission cooler I installed on my 23 tundra. Had the same overheating issue before the cooler. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6mFZrl13ryufqs.html

I have never been a fan of the new 22+ Tundras. I think they are the ugliest truck Toyota could ever put out. That being said, this is by far the best looking of the 22+ Tundras I have seen to date.

The front grille is ugly. The front end/hood is too long. The panel gaps are unacceptable. It’s not a V8. The back seat is smaller than the previous generation. Quality issues such as rubber window seals coming off. Subpar interior build quality. Other than that it’s great.

Back up Nannie’s? Hard NO. Also the mileage is quite poor for a truck you just know won’t last as long as the normally aspirated V8’s.

Turbo lag

Thats how everyone with shit fuel economy justifies it, "you dont buy a truck like this for fuel economy" ah bullshit i overland my truck, fuel economy is huge!

20L/100KM is like 11.8MPG which sounds pretty much like the 2nd gen: garbage.

5:16 not at all surprised. 10 speeds are all trash.

Chrome mustache has to go.. otherwise nice build!

They sound like lawn mowers 😂😂😂😂 no thank you.

Never buy a new vehicle from any manufacturer it’s not worth the probability it may be a dud. Give this truck a few years for the engineers to improve it a bit. Despite Toyotas great rep I’d rather have a naturally aspirated engine.

Sounds like a NO to me...

I traded my 2019 trail boss for a 2023 1794. Worst choice of my life. These Tundras are POS. It’s Chevy truck month, 1.9 financing, I’m getting out of this POS and going back to a 2025 trail boss.

All Toyotas have a leg 🦵 Anyways 😉

I hate mine. What a piece of trash. Should have never sold my v8

that engine is a massive no bueno, won't last 6 years. Endless list of problems. You'll soon have a coolant leak which will be a plastic routing pipe isntead of metal. And to replace it you have to lift the entire cab off the frame. It pisses me off cause I really wanted this truck, but after seeing how poorly everything was designed I stopped myself.

thanks for the non objective review
