The fuel economy is amazing. You are forgetting this truck has 583 ft lbs of torque and 437hp. Let’s not forget it will outlast 3 F-150s lol.

The 2 things toyota has going for it is that they hold value and they will still be running in 3 years. Can't say the same for the other makers. I wish there was a 3/4 ton mid level trim package

Toyota's are great. One of the biggest things for the Tundra for me is the price. They are drastically cheaper than an F-150, RAM 1500 or GMC 1500.

good honest review. Really enjoyedf it. As a TRD PRO owner since August, I'm unhappy with a few things too...the falken tires are awful. What made Toyota pick them over better all-seasons is beyond me...mine are coming off this week as they are particularly crap with even a dusting of snow. The centre console feels REALLY cheap and nasty for a vehicle I paid so much for. My MPG is actually worse than yours. The difference between city and highway is massive. On a 350+ mile drive I achieve 20.8mpg which is excellent. Regular driving in town?....I'm in the 14s, which is honestly just freaking terrible. I personally like the simple tailgate and the elbow button has come in VERY handy on multiple occasions. As far as bed payload in the TRD pro in particular? It's awful. Towing capacity is fine and I say that as someone who's an extremely experienced tower. I truly believe that anyone needing 10,000lbs or above should ignore ALL half ton trucks and go to a 3/4. Again, good review. I've subscribed!

3:25 Body Stats had me dying haha😂

Couple comments. First, not sure it’s smart to tow more than 12,000 pounds with ANY half ton. Regardless of mfr claims/testing. Second, you have a TRD Pro. Just how much payload were you expecting?? Have you looked at ANY top trim trucks (I know you have). NONE have more than 2000 lbs. Most are right around 1500 lbs. Now, I agree…I’m not a fan of the new Tundra, either. I actually own a 2018 F150 Platinum 3.5EB. Just trying to be fair with the numbers.

This are the reviews worth watching!! I appreciate the honesty and detail of your videos. Everyman Driver is a well deserved title. My respect! 👏🏼

I agree, Im getting rid of my Tundra. Its an 07 SR5 with 294K and WONT STOP RUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!

those tires look hilariously small on that truck

I looked and evaluated full size and mid-size trucks for months. Of course during the price escalation. I just couldn’t bring myself to pay $60,000+ for a mid level trim truck. So l ended up with a used ‘21 Ram Laramie. In the 2000+ miles I have put on it, I have experienced 21 mpg highway and 15 mpg combined. The only negative so far is the bed length at 5’7”. But, I knew that going in as that was what would fit in our a rage.

Good honest review. Though when you basically said that the towing and hauling limits of the truck were not sufficient, in all reality if you Actually Need more than this truck offers you Really Need a 3/4 ton truck. I would not even consider towing more than 12k pounds with any 1/2 ton truck even if it was rated for more than 12k pounds. I firmly belive Toyota rates their trucks at a significantly safer and more intelligent maximum rating.

This reviewer is all over the place. Review made no sense.

Bought my new ‘18 F150 loaded Lariat at the right time, list $62K but bought for $50K - Before COVID/Chip shortage/supply chain issues. Regular demand far exceeded capacity to build & Ford/GM/Ram took advantage with outrageous price increases well above list prices. However, marketplace is moving back into better balance and I am seeing the big FL dealers knocking $6-$9k+ off List price as their 2023 inventories grow substantially. (Same truck today listed at $62K when I bought became $75K). Those rip days are over and the dealers know it!

Everyman Dave, great honest review. The back seat portion is why I went with the F-150. It’s flat floor boards for my two Golden Retrieves. I can tell by your comments you want to love the Tundra but I think it’s more of a “like” relationship. Question, is the NON-Hybrid have a flat rear floor board? Thanks, love your channel

I am very happy with my 22 pro i will take a little less in gas mileage for reliability and future resale value any day by the way u need to give these unit at least 8 to 10 k in mileage to really get proper results and remember this time of the year we are in winter gas mix u get less gas mileage

The hybrid system on these 3rd gen Tundras was engineered for performance. Hence the high HP. It was not engineered for gas mileage efficiency.

Thanks for the video. Have a great day!

Toyota had many years to create the next gen. for 2022, IMO they fell short. I owned Tundra's 08,16,19, models. Now at a time when no longer need full size, so, have a 2021 Tacoma trd off road. If I were in the market for full size it would be Ram. Here's hoping the next gen. Tacoma has the best of current gen plus needed improvements in power/torque, gearing/transmission, mileage, and big on ride and comfort.

V6 don't belong in trucks. Case and point. They don't give you better mpg at all. It's just another way for manufacturers to give you less for more. Should have kept the v8 toyota 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good and honest review. Beautiful truck but I tend to agree that Toyota isn’t quite to the level as its competitors, at least in regard to trucks. They make a great product but I went with the Tremor after looking at the TRD Pro. There’s almost too much tech in these newer vehicles and it seems that there are some gremlins in them, especially in the radio and camera but I’d imagine those will eventually be fixed with software updates. The TRD does have some nice ground clearance though. Nice review sir.

I love my 2023 Limited CrewMax. It's in the Army Green color and it is absolutely gorgeous. I get constant compliments on it. People are way too hard on this truck. V8s are dead and obsolete for most things... get over it. You're only going to be seeing V8s in super large trucks or sports cars moving forward. Imagine comparing a Toyota to a Ford. Sorry but Ford's quality and reliability is garbage... how many recalls are they up to now? I've been in new Ford trucks of the same generation and was not impressed at all by the interior or ergonomics... all cheap hard shiny plastic. My Toyota has leather interior surfaces and will always be more reliable than a Ford even with it's turbos. Don't even get me started on Dodge aka Chrysler. And there is plenty of power for me (I opted for the non-hybrid model). Smooth and sturdy. Also, who buys a half-ton truck and then complains about MPG? I can drive 421 miles on a single tank... not bad at all given the other stats of the vehicle.

Very good review, I am considering but not sure now lol. Personally I have a gx460 and love it !

HI handsome, here we go again... "Its gotta go back, and Im Not going to keeping it" lol your fun to watch.

Love your videos, but the crackling from the mic is unbearable using earbuds. Will have to watch later on my TV.

Well good review n comments range but as for me I have a 2019 platinum and I've looked into this new version. Well tow rate went from 7500 to 10500lbs that's a plus on the new platinum has a side step and other stuff if any one has looked into it. So don't go by just the TRD pro model. Also I've found that Toyota rides less stiff and bumpy compared to others especially Ford so I'd rather have that. But yes Toyota needs to a bit more competitive in certain areas with their trucks.

I am absolutely happy with my iforce max 1794 edition, though i'd eventually get the oem lift kit

Ya the difference in Ford is that they are worth half in 3-4 years. Will NOT LAST as long, depreciate way faster! Only Toyota will pay for itself in the long run. They actually pay you to turn in a truck lease in Colorado because they hold their value so well. Ask me how I know.

I had my 22 for 8 months roughly 5,000 miles on it, I really liked the truck but traded it in for the 23 bronco which is so much fun to drive but if or when I go back to a truck it will be the tundra

I just couldn’t imagine paying 70k for a truck with a v6

I like the sweater. Another good review.

Hey great review once again!

We’ve been thinking about selling our Rav limited 4WD and our 4X4 pickup and buying a tundra SR5 4X4, extra cab with a 6’ bed. My wife will keep her year old Outback. We LOVED our 2010 Tundra SR5 4X4, but 9-15mpg was just too expensive to keep. I drive only about 6K miles a year so we can justify a new Tundra. Our Rav has the 3.5 V6 and it’s an awesome engine.

Almost all the top trim trucks have payload capacity around 1400lbs. My Denali was the same. The RAM is even less.

Interior looks great

Imagine buying a truck to expect great gas mileage 😂😂.

You are correct on the creature comforts but for reliability you will not find another truck that lasts longer than a yota with standard maintenance sir, if you do plz lmk. Thanks for honest review

Thanks Dave, I was looking into trucks and the Tundra was my 2-3 choice. But I agree with you that backseat storage getting in the way and the nothing tailgate is so lazy and inconvenient. Almost like they didn’t research what their competitors are doing. If your dishing out that much money, better have everything.

If you're complaining about only being able to tow 12k lbs with a 1/2 ton you need a 3/4 ton. cmon man..

What is the truck for you? My guess is an F150 Tremor. I agree with your complaint about the back seat storage problem. I really wish Toyota could find a different place to put those batteries. To complain about 12klb towing on a 1/2-ton truck doesn't seem valid. I know it is an option but what percentage of f150's tow that much. I think most people who want to tow that much weight will opt for something more capable than a 1/2 ton. It is hard to compare apples to apples, but this is the TRD Pro. I think people who buy this are in the same market as a Raptor. How much does a Raptor tow? What is the max payload of a Raptor? What is the MPG of the Raptor? I like your point about the tailgate on the TRD pro could be better. A step comes with the other Tundra high trim levels. The TRD pro omits it for departure angle reasons. If you want a TRD pro and a step you can have the dealer put one on for $350. I think it is important to note that a ford tailgate step isn't standard either. The biggest complaint of a TRD pro-Tundra should be the lack of tow hooks. And maybe the fact that it is sitting on 33's instead of 35's. I like that you pointed out the backseat storage is awful. It might be worth noting that the center console just doesn't feel as nice as other brands. I would like to see a comparison of the Tundra TRD pro with the F150 Tremor. I think those would be the best comparisons. I assume the Tremor is the Truck that you would purchase? If so how would you spec it out, and how much would it tow?

Nice review. I have a 2013 F150 Lariat. Love it, but it's soaking me for cash in the last year or so. Yes, 10 years old. I get that. I fully expect stuff like alternator, belts, radiator, or similar to need replacment, but both IWE's failed. It should have been a recall. $1200 per front wheel for full fix. And now I have a failed Molded Lead Frame (attaches to valve body in Trans) which is $800 in labor and $250 in parts to fix. I'd be less critical but these drivetrain issues at just 83K miles are just not acceptable. The 2014 and later Chevy Silverado's come equiped with a powerful Eco Tec 6.2L but also nearly guaranteed lifter failure due to the AFM system. The RAM is an option but I've worked with Chrysler designers in the past and seen too much sketchy crap to go that route. I'm gonna try and stick with the F150 and reach 150k miles before trading in.....unless something else major fails sooner. Long story short I'm very likely going Tundra next time. I'd rather get soaked at the pump a bit more than deal with seemingly persistent reliability issues. As for the 12k pound tow limit on this TRD, what the hell kind of towing capacity do you need ? Hauling cattle or a yacht ? Or What ? Anything more than that needs a 3/4 ton or better just for proper braking power. As for the the more limited back seat floor storage and the hump under the seat agree that's a negative. But you do get more clearance with the recessed drive shaft. I guess 1 upside of the back seat floor storage is that it's all contained and stuff won't be sliding around on the floor.

Would rather give up a few options with the Tundra than to worry about engine failure with Ford and Chevy.

70k for a "Hybrid" that gets a max 19 mpg? No thank you.

Buying a new Tundra and then selling shortly afterward seems to be a trend.

Sat in one. Didn’t drive it. 1784 edition. The steering wheel is awesome. Very high quality. Interior layout is a mishmash as you can see here. Feels cheap too in many spots. Not a lot of continuity.

If you want only 100k miles out of your truck, then buy from the big 3. If you want 200k-300k miles, then buy the Toyota (but not the first year model on any of them).

nice color , than add the $20k mark up

So far i love my limited trd.

Hi do you still have the tundra TRD pro. If yes. Would you sale it?

You just said if you get a truck you have to go full size..but then you said you’re mad at the fuel economy lol. Common man.

Toyota isn’t selling new trucks in my area. Nobody wants a V6. The ford dealer doesn’t have any F-150 Ecoboost either, they simply won’t sell here.

I agree, with that much money, why have a basic tailgate??? I'll wait for the 2024

This hybrid is different than a Prius system, it is designed to be a replacement for Diesel. Power output is 437 HP and 583 ft-lbs torque, that beats all V8's and half ton Diesels . I'm sure no would want to drive a Prius hybrid system in a pickup 😂.

Ram 1500 Ram-box is ten times better feature then any tailgate features from any MFG. also the fold flat floor in the 1500 lets me get a dog crate in. The Toyota rear floor is a non starter for me. Do like the idea of a composite bed and rear sliding window.

If I could afford that truck I wouldn't be worried about fuel economy. Just a thought. My F150 gets 14mpg

Nice honest review I think bottom line Mike Sweers dropped the ball overall in his redesign of the new Tundra. From looks to overall design to quality issues. It not like he was pressed for time it was 13 years ago from the last redesign? He seems out of touch of what the US market wants and I think Toyota would be better served replacing him with someone more in touch of what most consumers want out of a truck. I’m a Toyota fan too and have owned 2 Tundras an 07 and a 2020. Recently got up close to study a new 2023 TRD pro. Sorry I wasn’t impressed and in many ways felt cheap to me. I was pretty disappointed and when I look to replace my 2020 someday it probably won’t be another Tundra.

Man, you are not watching uncle Scotty’s vidoes. 😅 You should have asked him first. Good looking truck. Is it worth your $70k ? I do not think so.

Oh well I would take one of those truck Can’t please everyone

Not a good truck with that turbo! I've heard people are having problem with the wastegate and the only way to replace it is by replacing the turbo cuz I guess they're fused together & it's a difficult job thousands of dollars in labor & who knows what those turbos will cost 🤷 I'm sticking with the V-6 Tacoma manual transmission 💯😎

The audio kind of weird in this video... very crackly

This video was made about 11 months before the recall of the 3.4L engine. Values ae going to tank.

I don’t know, kind of a stretch with the negatives I think, to be honest, seems like you wanna not like it… If you want fuel economy Then buy a compact car. If you want to tow a lot buy something like an f350.…illusion of room? .. it’s got loads of space in the cabin, sit in a Miata, ha! the quality and upscale interior is on par with luxury brands … and, nothing will outlast it.. if you have deep pockets then god bless, buy whatever you’d like, again and again, cause that may be the case where you have to do so, 1in my view vehicles are consumables, longevity is important and can never be discounted, Stalantis makes their interiors sweet until the problems start happening then the love wears off, so, beware, just keep that account fairly well populated with cash if you go in another direction, fords have their problems too…… and when you breakdown with a competitors brand just phone a friend with a Toyota… ha! .. love the videos, be well! .. check out the 1794 ! …

Dang man! Fire your sound guy.

the tires look comically small on such a big truck, a huge miss aesthetically imo

RAM, Chevy/GMC, and Ford don't have better numbers if you compare apples to apples. Most people look at Ford and are amazed, it tows 14k. Yeah, it does tow 14k, but that is a 2-wheel drive truck single cab. I found that watching videos of people with the GMC/Chevy gimmick tailgate, takes forever to set it up and put it away just to use it, so yeah, not a fan. I also noticed your drive mode is not in ECO, a driver makes or breaks fuel economy. Good video.

I don’t know anyone that wants to tow anything who says they want to get a Toyota tundra 😅

toyotas = reliability, no tailgate gimmicks

Remember people reliability. If you want features go get a dodge. I heard their interiors are superb. Drivetrain? Not so much lol. Toyota puts its money into the functionality of its vehicles and quality control. Not fancy features that ultimately end up breaking. IMO

That's all a real man needs is a basic tail gate 😂

Everyone complaining about the mileage...stop spooling the turbo so much lol

did this dude say 5'11, 193lbs? no way, does he have balls made of steel? im 6'0, 155 and we have the same figure

Engine down is a no go for me

at least its better than buying a luxury car

Love Toyota but for 70k I’m getting a 2019 raptor

your mic is so glitchy

Half Ton rucks are definitely not For men

clearly time for reasonably priced full sized electric trucks for average joes, $50k max price, the sucky mpg and wavy front and rear floors need to vanish too with a skateboard platform

The new engine twin turbo it’s not made for economy is going to gives a little more power than the v8 but not better mpg .

Toyota could have done so much better with this truck. Where's the recovery hooks? And why didn't they make the V8 engine an option, and the interior looks cool but it's cheap and gimmicky. I'd just buy a limited with the standard v6 twin turbo and mod it. Just my take.

Only thing Toyota has is reliability. Life starts at 150k miles for these

I would be happy to buy it from you for $50k. While you improved on covering features not mentioned last time. However your illogical statement in your first video of you could care less about towing capacity but now want to sell the truck because it only tows 12k makes no sense. Do you really own something that is > than 12k pounds? I hope not.

Honestly, I think I'm at a point in my life where a Prius is all that I need. I was born with the PP that I have and no vehicle is going to change that.

It's 92k in alaska

Every review, first thing knocked is the low payload and towing capacity. Let’s be honest, 90% of the people that buy a $70k truck aren’t towing diddly. Maybe a few bags of topsoil here and there or a sheet of plywood if lucky, but most would have groceries, a stroller, or a recycling bag in the back…no one really cares about the payload on any full size truck

50% body fat 😂

Honest review? LOL..."I want to tell you why I'm not going to keep it." (Fast-forward to end): "I don't own it. That's why I'm not going to keep it." Such an intro/outro bait-n-switch to capture views....come on, bruh! 😂😂

Video Audio needs work

Beating up on Toyota’s lately 🤷‍♂️

Smart so Smart get rid of that

I’m my opinion they missed the mark bad. One of the worse places they could put the batteries and towing sucks. I hate Ford but I think the F150 would eat it up towing

that stupid rear bumper lack of step is a turn off

For the same price of that TRD Pro I bought a new F350 Tremor with 3800lbs of payload and 15K towing.

Bro what do you expect? Your truck is literally pumping out 400+ HP and 500+ft/lbs of torque? You're going to getting a sports car in a truck. Let's be realistic here.

I have never in my life. Heard somebody gripe so much about nothing. Lordy.

70 grand? Next video

I can buy a brand new Corolla and probably 2 used tundras with 70k

Titan and Tundra have failed. It's sad.

You lost my respect once you admitted paying 60% more that the base price for "necessaries"

So yes, Ford. For example, their tremor side by side with a tundra is better. For me though, everyone drives a dang Ford. You go down the street. Pass four of them. I like to stand out a little bit. I like to be different so I went with the tundra this time

They’re junk mine got 15 mpg, heeadliner replaced twice, inside window condensation, wind noise, windows shaking total junk! Traded for pro4x, they paid my truck off price difference was such I’m driving a 23 w/ no payment and much better truck!

"this right here in other trucks is not in the way" ya that's cause its your hybrid battery.. which most other trucks don't have. what specs are you even looking at the tundra has better specs than all of them.. if were doing a tally of gimmicks like a 85 way tailgate, go drive that ford
