Since I was a young kid, Toyota is always a very dependable truck or car. I had a 1991 Toyota celica, that was my first car when I was stationed in Hawaii as a new grunt. Spent 3 there and 9 years in fort hood, my car was very reliable and didn’t have any major issue with it. I understand what the main engineer goals and fully understand what his mission is. Give a very reliable truck with very good updates, towing stability, and much more. I like the way he thinks, take some of the good things, from every flat form. Combine it all and minor adjustments, and there you have it. I would like to own one. By the way y’all, good morning from San Antonio Texas.

I appreciate what the guy says about towing. Just because another truck has 300lbs or 1000lbs on you, doesn’t mean it’s fun doing that. And if you’re consistently towing 12000lbs then you should probably be driving an HD truck in the first place. 1/2 ton trucks are more for daily driver convenience, capability, and reliability than a max tow rating. I’m hopeful this truck has all of that and is extremely successful.

Great interview. I would have loved to know more about the V35A-FTS engine that was lifted from the Lexus LS500 and put into the new Tundra. Asking questions about durability testing, etc. would have great to hear.

Same, I could watch a 1-2hr video on that alone. Direct and port injection. I couldn’t figure out from another video if the Canadian presenter talking about a water cooled turbo or they meant the intercooler for the charge air

@@TobyCostaRica turbos are water cooled and the cooling system is independent from the engine. Also fun info - the heads cool the exhaust before it reaches the turbos (water cooled, but separate chilling circuit from the cylinder chilling) so the turbos don't get very hot. They're twin scroll and fixed vane. Engine is crazy strong. It uses a crank cradle (block separates) instead of crank bearing caps just like diesel bottom ends. It's a turbo gasser built for very long life. Toyota is able to design and manufacture turbos in house so they aren't constrained to off the shelf designs.

One of your best videos ever. Nice glimpse of how difficult it really is to build a truck. Despite some softball questions the stories were fun to listen to. I didn’t know Toyota engineering maintains a presence in Michigan. I would like to see more of these videos. Imagine the person-hours spent on this one truck!

I think the Crewmax 6.5’ bed combo w a 4wd will be one of the top selling setups for tundra owners. Regardless of Trim. I want to trade in my Tundra for one these new bad boys.

TFL is the best. Not to say other channels out there aren't great, but TFL is king. I noticed, at least in my sub feed, that your coverage of the new Tundra has had the most views. Great discussion with the actual chief engineer. He was definitely genuine and really excited. You could tell he loves his job, and was very humble. I think this attitude is what in part sets Toyota apart from the other auto makers. Great job Andre! 👍😀

Really well done video. You can tell the guy just loves his job. He was actually knowledgeable and had stories about everything. Not just another glorified salesman like a lot of the time. They did a lot of cool and well thought out things, but I just absolutely hate the looks of the truck. Both inside and outside.

Apparently photos and video don't accurately capture how it looks. I seen this said by a few other outlets. It seems to be an increasing trend as well as I've been seeing it said about more new cars.
