My knees hurt just watching him squat like that lol

Towing eveyday and changing oil at 7500miles is mind blowing. I wouldnt go that long never towing

Thanks for sharing the video. I'm glad he's having a great experience with the new gen Tundra. My 2016 has never gave me a problem. I wish him the same. 👍

I have a 2024 Tundra platinum but no air bags. BTW this guy has the best knees ever.😂

I had been towing an 8k lbs travel trailer with a 2008 Sequoia. The 5.7 did a great job. Just got a ‘24 tundra. Towing the same 8k trailer the new tundra does so much better! Couldn’t get rid of the ‘08 Sequoia though. Just too good of a vehicle. It is encouraging to hear of someone towing that same weight consistently.

Sweet truck and great to hear from a subject matter expert like Patrick, who has extensive real world experience towing w/ the Tundra…two different model years. 3rd gen is the way to go. Thanks Patrick & Mark for the testimony - very meaningful!!

The air bags really helps . And it can pull a lot of weight, my TRD pro did a lot of work too!

I have a 2015 toyota tundra with 330,000 miles I tow a goose neck trailer and tow 10,000 to 12,000 lbs no problems hope you get the same reliability but the v8 is proven and easy to work on....

I think people worry about reliability for the long run with the V6 turbo engine. Only time will tell on this. As one guy said with his Ford F150, the turbo's are quite expensive to replace. That's my main concern also. Will the V6 twin turbo engine go the distances with few repairs. I would like to know if their are any new gen Tundra's out there that have over 100,000 to 200,000 miles on them and any problems they have had. I think this would help people to decide how dependable they are. Mark you should see if you can do a video about the ones that have already put a lot of miles on their trucks and if they have had any problems. Have a good day.

Great video thank you for sharing your experience with the New Generation

I loved the 2022 I rented, to the point where it will be hard to ignore when I have to finally give up my Tacoma one day. Hoping to see but long term reviews like this.

Glad to see you are doing well with the truck. I replaced a 2017 F-150 Ecoboost with a 2021 Tundra because I do heavy towing regularly myself. Running those turbo chargers all the time wore them out by the time I got to 138,000 miles on the Ecoboost. Ford wanted almost $7,000 to replace them. Part of that cost was some repair caused by them going out. I sold the truck as-is to Ford and walked across the street and bought the V8 Tundra. I wish I had bought the Tundra in the first place. So, I'm curious how Toyota's twin turbos will hold out regularly towing.

Excellent review. I bought my 2024 Platinum several weeks ago and have done some minor towing (1700 lb ride mower); can’t even tell I’m towing anything. Fit and finish is excellent. Technologically it’s awesome. I’m waitiing until I can mount a snow blade (currently doing that with my F350). But Toyota engineers apparently have to figure out what changes underneath on the front end have to be made to accommodate a heavy snow blade, and the electrical requirements. If you have any data on this I’d appreciate it. But the bottoms line is…I didn’t even know Toyota made such a truck.I thought they were the mini trucks of the past. Surprised me! 😆

Awesome video guys. We rented an SR5 and towed a 6x12 U-Haul enclosed trailer across country and it was awesome. Looking forward to retiring and selling my 08 limited and getting the third generation Tundra. I’m just hoping get 4 wheel auto and an inverter like the Ford Powerboost has now.

Yes Sir !!! This was really needed with all the negative press about this truck. I have a 23 / 1794 and love every second that I drive my truck. I two my 4500 lb boat araond and yes it handle it effortlessly. I also change ym oil every 3000 miles. I do it myself and for $25 it is cheap insurance. Thank you for putting this content out.

Excellent informative video. Hopefully, the 3.4 will prove itself to be excellent, I'm confident it will.

Great video. I have the same truck with airbags which is a hybrid. It’s good to know, I don’t need the hybrid to tow heavy.

Hey Pat thanks for sharing your experience; always good to own a product that you like and that does the job for you. Safe towing 👍

I have a 2023 Limited trim iForce Max. I specifically got the Hybrid the towing for my job, but I probably didnt need it (hybrid). I have a similar enclosed trailer, 16' tandem axle with a 10,000 GVWR towing capacity, and being an electrical contractor, my trailer easily weighs above 7,500 lbs when loaded up for a job. I also tow it daily. I agree with most of Patrick's comments. I absolutely LOVE this truck. I had a 2013 F-250. This truck does everything that it could do, only better. I do not have the Bags in the rear but I do use a WDH (per manufacturer recommendations) and my truck is level, drives smooth and you would never really know you are towing. I average about 14mpg (10.4 with my Ford). The interior is beautiful, night time headlights are awesome and the ride is ridiculously nice. I researched the heck out of all the possible truck options and I wanted to get another Ford, but when it was done, to get a comparably equipped F-series ( I considered the F-150 and 250), it was more money and I don't like the new look. I never even gave the Tundra a look until last, because I didn't think it would be able to handle the towing requirements I needed. I was wrong!!! It is a beast. The ONLY issue I have had with this truck is that the transmission "overheats" when I am BACKING my trailer up my steep (15% grade) driveway. I honestly do not know why that would be the case and it is the only place that this happens. My initial speculation is that it is related to the angle of the truck during reverse driving, the design of the cooling system and resulting in a potential lack of transmission oil flow because of that. It gets to the Hot indicator within 30 seconds from when I start but I am done backing within a minute. I have mentioned it to my dealer which he will look at when I bring it in for my next service. BTW: My truck does have the transmission cooler.

Glad he keeps it to 8k. That's where I believe is the safe maximum for a half ton towing. Any brand. Surprised no Weigh Distribution bars. But then he, like me, tows solo with minimal weight on the truck

Pat i did notice it saves . tow load ounce you name it so you dont have to go thru the 6 steps to start all over and yes it does make you click to tow +

My ram is the same way with the tow haul , gotta hit the button every time you turn the truck back on, so guess it's 🤷 a safety thing??? Good review 👍

Thanks for Video, but my big concern about my 2024 SR5 4x4 loaded is the Transmission temperature when towing. Thanks again.

Love that truck!

Love this truck. My Denali sucked compared to mine. Everything feels solid. Engine is crazy powerful. I had so ma y issues with GMC. I got the 1794 edition. It comes with a gun safe. Lol. Tows like a beast. The hybrid engine is super fast in sports mode

Beautiful truck.

I have a 24 SR5 TRD Sport and seeing this video makes me feel better about my purchase. This is my first Tundra, going from a 2500hd Chevy. So thanks for sharing your experience.

I tow 10-11,000 7 months of the year with my 22. I have aftermarket airbags. 34,500 now. No problems.

Im interested in 150k review on the 3rd gen tundra I really want to see how they hold up in the higher mileage

That’s amazing to see! My question is that did you ever notice a difference in the build quality going from your 2022 to this 2024?

GMC Heavy Duties come out of tow/haul too when shut off and they are dedicated haulers!!

Silver is a great color on the new Tundra. So many say they don’t look good. But most have not seen them in person or are just haters. There’s a slightly lifted silver Capstone with upgraded tires and a wrap on the cab. I was next to him the other day both filling up our Tundras and I mentioned how great his truck looks. He thanked me and said he gets compliments daily about the truck. Like nothing he’s ever experienced.

Thanks for sharing...this is encouraging as i have a new 2024 1794 and hope to pull a 24' travel trailer in the near future. Did his 22 have the rear air bag suspension too?

I seen videos with guys saying the ride quality is really ruff with the airbags system as the suspension bottoms out. Have you had this issue with or without the trailer?

I don't understand why everyone misses the 5.7L. I bough a 2021 Tundra 5.7L and it seemed like a dog compared to my old hemi while towing. 5.7L was great in 2007 but not now.

We have a 2024 SR5. We plan on towing a 6500 dry weight trailer with a 650 tongue weight. 30 ft long. We feel it shoukd tow it no problem. We haven't got the trailer yet

Do you see good in side view mirrors towing that 8 by 20 ft trailer ? What king trailer is it ?

Glad to hear it does well towing, just can’t justify the cost.

I am looking to get tundra with the air bags. One issue I hear about is them bottoming out a lot. Have you had any issues like this?

9:38 Half the time i forget to put it in tow mode. Usually dont even notice its in normal mode.

i believe all trucks default back to normal when u shut them off (out of tow mode) my 21 tundra does and my 12 ram did also. beautiful truck good luck with it hope u get great years out of it.

Nice post.

I have been looking to buy a 1500 truck since the start of the year, but have not pulled the trigger on one. In the months that have passed, I have never considered a tundra due to their prices and lack of incentives or low aprs.

I like the looks of the new gens, I like the 6ft bed option, but they lost me with the V6. Ill keep my 2021 Tundra with Supercharger til it dies then Ill go to a 1 ton with a 6 or 7 liter gasser

Do you use the Toyota trailer brake controller or an aftermarket? I have a 2017 Tundra crew max 5.7L and people mention issues they had with it.

It would have been nice if he mentioned mpg towing, especially versus with no trailer. I think the new Gen. Tundra is the best available truck for light towing...not so sure compared to the 5.7L.

Are the wheels on your truck black or gray or black? I can’t tell against the white my 2023 platinum has gray wheels and would prefer black, but I can’t seem to find them..

What's your mpg with the amount of towing you do? I'm looking at getting a new Tundra with tow mirrors but it seems like those are hard to come by. How do you like the regular mirrors on the truck?

Also have a 2nd gen tundra and the new one is better towing BUT more gear would be nice at least optional. I tow daily and have 2 other trucks on the road all towing 4-5000lbs. The other trucks are xl model f150s and both are 2014 models. They do great with this light load and average 12.5 mpg with 3.55 gears (they both would benefit from a little more fear also). Just got a ‘24 tundra sr 2wd and it averages 13.0 with a dang 10 speed towing the same load. 10 year newer truck with a ton more tech should easily be able to get 15+ mpg towing this little load. We do a lot of miles so yes that would be a huge savings over the 13 mine gets. My f150s have 6 speeds and we run them in 5th for the best mileage and they have been great. Was just hoping the new tundra with 140-150 more hp and a LOT more torque would do better and it barely does. Mine stays in 8th gear mostly but will shit to 7th on hills. I think a little more gear would get them to 15+ mpg towing and not really hurt mileage when not towing

7,500 mile oil changes while towing in a turbo engine. I hope the next owner gets a great deal to offset the lack of maintenance.

I have a 2022 TRDPro i would like to share four pictures with you how to upload it thanks

Will the 6.5 ft bed have higher payload?

I have the same exact truck air bags with a 7000# travel trailer. With weight distribution it tows adequately but the rear suspension still has too much lateral movement. The engine and transmission are very good. The interior looks nice and is comfortable but it has way too many rattles and wind noise. I came from a 3/4 ton diesel so my standards are pretty high for towing.

Nice truck is the 11.6 mpg ur average while towing

how many times has his seat craked.

I may have missed it but is it a i-Force Max?

What kind of gas mileage do you get towing on a regular basis?

Cant wait for the haters to come up and say something bad about this beautiful truck

I'm in the market for a full sized truck by the end of the year roughly. Comparing all brands and pricing. Mainly looking for space 3 children, fishing gear, and would either tow a kayak or put it in the bed

Is that the regular or hybrid engine?

I wanna know who was one of those people. They complain a lot, but the new generation, and now they have one of these beautiful generation. Tundra 😂😂😂😂😂

How the motor has lasted this long is beyond me 🤔🤷

And no WDH to boot! Wow.

What mpg’s are you getting?

Does he think his tundra could handle a 8.5x 24 for enclosed trailer?

the guy has a 11mpg in his ride lol. my mpg stays at about 17.9. I guess the towing has alot to do with it

The big question is: “what is your business?” Are you a hotshot driver?

Seeing this,I’m keeping my Gen 2 until the wheels fall off. Any Big 3 truck will go 60,000 miles.😂

V6 Tundra? Are you stranded? Need a tow? Let me know, I got a V8 SR5 TSS Offroad.

I always forget Delaware exists lol.

I don’t like the front end with a big black moustache look

As a long time Toyota family owner of multiple models and generations, former mechanic, service writer, service manager, parts seller, parts manager, and new and used car salesman, I would not touch the new Tundra, Tacoma, or upcoming ruined 4Runner with a ten ft pole. Turbos go out every 100k miles give or take, the Tundra's turbo replacement alone is around $10k per turbo. Turbo engines are WAY more complex and have WAY more issues in general then ANY NA engine. Gas turbo engines also do not regularly go 300k+ miles before needing major engine overhaul, (head gaskets failing are common due to huge cylinder pressures on forced induction engines) except diesel engines which are made way stronger and totally differently. Turbo technology has been around since before the 80's, there is a REASON real trucks never used turbos (except diesels) they are not reliable or viable for long term heavy usage like a truck goes through and the maintenance and wear replacement on them is not acceptable at the consumer level. Toyota did this due to insane corrupt emissions laws in the USA. They had other options, but choose this route instead. This is because they refuse to join the ignorant unsustainable fad of making and selling EV's that are not viable, because of that their emissions rating as a brand was too high so they had to cut the numbers and this was how they could easily do it, by ruining their truck line. Who ever made this decision at Toyota should be shamed and fired for ruining a legendary brand. Due to our corrupt ignorant government, we only get the worst Toyota vehicles in the world, everything else they sell in other countries are way better than the models we get. (Diesels etc) The previous generation non turbo Toyotas are now worth even more than they already were (for good reason), the resell value on these new turbo engines will be way lower, and once they get around 100k miles smart people will not buy them. Once this era of stupidity is over and they go back to proper engines next model update, this era of Toyota will be known as the lost years. (When they screwed their customers, ruined their products and lost a ton of respect, and customer loyalty base, along with sales) Your experience may be different, but this is mine, with extensive auto industry knowledge. Also the new bodies for the Tundra and Tacoma are hideous, you won't catch me ever driving one, even if it had a V8 or a diesel. Toyota is on it's way down as a brand, this new failed Tundra launch alone has cost them tens of millions in warranty claims and reduced sales. The next best brand to focus on now is Nissan, for their trucks ONLY, their other vehicles all use cvt transmissions which are utter disposable trash. The Pathfinder, Frontier, and Titan models are very well made in general and close to the quality of Toyotas trucks, now they are better, and they cost LESS new.

So pretty much the Tundra can handle a Camaro in an enclosed trailer?

1300 lbs payload is a joke

Still not worth 70 k

modern tundra = will break soon

Toyota garbage tundra😂😂😂😂
