I’m tired of hearing about the “dated interior, old fashioned design “. RELIABILITY! The Ford has a pretty fancy modular interface that will keep you entertained while you are waiting for the tow truck.

A great truck that don’t need updates. Highest resale, bulletproof reliability, and built in Texas

Still driving my 416000 mile tundra. Original engine and transmission.

Toyota don't listen to them, the tundra is a perfect truck

Call me old fashioned but a truck doesn't need a lot of techy crap.

Tundra is for the old school dude who knows how to fix a flat tire, Chevy truck owners call onstar, Ram boys use their 12 inch dash screen to google it, last ford ego boosters call their boyfriends for rescue.

Consumer reports says the Tundra is the most reliable and most durable truck and has been for several years. I have owned Fords and GMC's they are junk compared to a Tundra. Every person I know who owns a tundra has put hundreds of thousands of miles on them with no major issues. Next Truck is getting bought this year and its going to be a new Tundra.

I've driven Fords and Chevys. My current Tundra is a BEAST. Haters gonna hate.

I own a 2017 Chevy, but I know from experience this tundra will have fewer problems and do a lot more miles without repairs.

Ya these trucks have zero tech compared to the competition I would say literally every truck is "better" then toyota right now. But I think toyota is catering to the more simple buyer who wants a work horse that lasts forever. I don't think many people lease these, they actually buy them and keep them til the wheels fall off. The problem with the other new trucks is due to all the electronics, they're like iphones, they need to be replaced every 3 years. Thank you for another great review

I'll take dated and reliable. Love my 07. I bought it for $25,500 in a terrible economy and I've put 90k on it and it's still worth nearly 20k almost 10 years later. A little over 5k in depreciation for almost 100k miles!

I like it. Just a simple truck that’ll run forever

Dated but the BEST truck out there, period. Built in the good ol' U.S. of A. /salute

Ill take this tundra over any other pickup.

Tech will get you in trouble they can hate all you want but simplicity is key

My buddy has a Toyota Tundra has 600,0000 miles same engine 2nd transmission

Ive owned every brand of truck out there outside of Nissan and went with the Tundra this time around and am 100% happy. Its simple, reliable, and Toyota customer service is absolutely amazing.

I've been a gm guy all my life and I think the tundra is the only real truck out there.

That things is baddass and that v8 sound is amazing👌👌

Tundra is a good powerful old block V8. Problem with it is that Toyota don’t care to put more R&D to develop it more to compete. They’ll just riding on its badge. Definitely most reliable truck and best resale. If they develop this truck more like they do with their other line up it’s gonna be a killer.

Always love your truck reviews! Please keep doing more of them!

Just purchased my 2018 Toyota Tundra CrewMax with SR5 TRD Off-road package about 2 weeks ago. I’m so in love with it. Just took it out to the mountains for a camping trip n it was a great ride.

Outdated or updated! Still better and out last any domestic pickup out there! Toyota Quality, Dependability, and Reliability!

I agree with the "reliability" that will be the biggest factor in my next tuck as someone who keeps vehicles for a long time!

I would actually prefer to have the key vice a push button start They are easier to fix and cost way less

I’ve got 200k+ miles on my 2011 tundra and it’s never had 1 issue. I wouldn’t take another truck over it.

The one thing that the Tundra has I wish every manufacturer would do is the whole rear window rolls down that is one feature I love but the rest of the truck is outdated. but if it isn't broke don't fix it I guess is Toyotas saying.

Just blows my mind that this truck and it’s technology and styling is considered “dated and basic”! How freaking spoiled and vain are we American consumers these days. This is a beautiful truck, built for working. And $48,000 is a LOT of money. That’s another thing that just baffles me, how people spend so much money on a vehicle.

Liked the music a lot. Love the channel Matt Maran!!!!!

Awesome video Matt!

I have had 3 tundra's, a 2003, 2010 and 2013. My 2010 was totalled due a driver who took a red light. What sold me was the crash test done to all 4 trucks, the tundra did not crumble as much as the other three. I preferred the SR5 compared to Limited, Platinum edition I don't need sensors everywhere. My two cents

Just bought a 2020 SR----Love it

Ford and the other American brands are made in Mexico now, Tundra is made in Texas The most American made truck on the market

Coming from a 2001 Silverado 1500HD that rode like a mule, my 2017 crew max 4x4 rides and drives so sweet! I love my Tundra just the way it is. The interior is perfect for me. I would love to have the TRD duel exhaust set up or something similar to that.

Tundras I think are for someone who wants a "forever truck". Something you can keep for a VERY VERY LOOOOOOOONG time.

Six months after you buy one of the other brands trucks you won’t care about all the other junk they come with. You will however care about how reliable the truck is. This one won’t let you down.

Excellent review. You pointed out many of the flaws I saw when comparing and shopping. I went with the 2019 Ram Laramie. Thank you.

What wireless microphone do you use for your reviews Matt?

Really awesome song Matt keep up the awesome work

COOL Review: 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 CrewMax

I've been considering a used truck for a while now and have had my eye on the Ford SVT Raptor with the V8. After watching this review though, I feel like all this generation Tundra would really need to compete with the Raptor is a TRD supercharger and would still retain its reliability while costing a bit less... well worth it imo even when considering how low tech this truck is in comparison to its competitors.

If I become a technician at Toyota one day I will get one of these

The reason I want this truck is not for the tech and luxury, but for the simplicity and durability. The biggest selling feature for me is that it has the Land Cruiser engine.

i love tundras especially the space inside the crewmax and it'll last forever for sure but it's a work truck that's why i went for the tacoma for now.... i'll be waiting tundra

Sounds awesome. 😎

Toyota is only nameplate that's third-world tested. You won't ever find a RAM, Chevy, or Ford in Somalia, Congo, or Vietnam. Evar!11!

Love my tundra, unique on American forces. Stands out more than others because there is a lot of Chevy, ram, and GM not hating I’m just saying. Plus Toyota is barely manufacturing in the US an growing. People hating on the MPG sucks oh well lol I get 9 mpg because I step on it. Love the truck

Tundra is strong enough to tow space shuttle. Tundra went 1 million miles on one single engine without being rebuild. Tundra seat fabric didn't even worn-out after 1 million miles. Tundra frame lasted 1 million miles. Tundra cab corners lasted one million miles. Tundra exhaust manifold bolts lasted 1 million miles. Tundra engine lasted 1 million miles without blowing spark plugs. Tundra is the only million miles gas truck without problems. To many people focus on looks and forget that looks are deceiving. To many people call reliability is outdated, and favor issues as advanced technology. I know truth hurts, but it's reality.

I'd still buy a Tundra because of reliability and great resale value but I hate parking big trucks in So Cal. 4Runners are also long in the tooth too but are selling very well with little price negotiations.

Love my 2015 Tundra.

One thing that tundras are not falling off at is reliability and that's what really matters when it comes to a work truck

Handsome truck. Has reliability. Sound system is the kind of sound a musician would prefer-clean and accurate. You do have to crank it but when you do the speakers generate clean sound and no distortions. I like the F150 3.5ecoboost’s power and handling though.

Im actually picking one of these up for a daily driver .. I’ll trade mpg for reliability all day

I love my 2015 Tundra CrewMax.

That tundra is not outdated is gorgeous

looking forward to the 2021 redesign!

It might not have the bells and whisles but it has its name its the only truck you can rely on and will never leave u stranded

Comment section is always better entertainment than the video in any pickup video.

Drinking game; drink every time matt says “Ya know”

I will still love my Fords and Chevy's, but I have to admit, my 2018 Tundra is the best truck I've ever owned. It's a very trucky truck.

I would still take this Tundra over any other full size pickup truck in a heart beat. Way to go Toyota.

11:03 That thing sounds amazing👌👌

Next time you should do your acceleration run in tow/haul mode. It feels like a different truck.

The infotainment system reminds me a bit of one in the WRX

Great review. Still a nice truck. Put a red scanner light just above the grill and you have KITT 2018 (Knight Rider) as a Tundra. Hey Pontiac doesn't exist anymore and everyone is going to trucks and SUV's anyway.

You're are reviewing a sr5 version with TRD, which is for people who use it for work (better than SR) and camping! If you want leather for daily driver or luxury...there's 4 more packages higher!

No spray on bedliner or composite bed?

I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5. Just crossed over about 82k miles. I have had zero mechanical issues. Now, the only non mechanical issues I have had... The radio locked up on me 2 times (basically refused to respond to my commands). The first time it happened, I had my music up pretty loud and then knew something was up because I couldn't turn it down lol. Had to pull up and pay for my food with music blasting lol (did this one other time) Only way to reset it was to hit the power button on the unit or turn off and turn on the truck. The other issue, has been my steering wheel. The rubber substance they use on it can wear. I was actually cleaning my steering wheel (using a microfiber and some detailer spray) and the outer rubberish layer tore on the steering wheel so I now have a hole that is starting to spread on that outer layer of the steering wheel (I can put a steering wheel cover on). Other than those 2 issues, I have had zero to complain about. If I DID had to complain about something? The stupid brush guard underneath... It is the HARDEST thing to put back into place when you are finished changing your oil. Also, the oil filter housing... you are supposed to be able to loosen the bottom of it to allow the oil to drain out of the housing before removing it and making a mess. I have never been able to loosen that little plug so yep, I remove the whole thing every time and make a mess lol. Actually replaced it and the same thing happened (first one was from factory). Why they don't use an all in one oil filter like Chevrolet or Ford is crazy. I actually pay more for the filter than the whole housing of a comparable truck (also change oil on an 03 Silverado so I have that to compare to). Summary of all this, I bought this truck because I knew that it may not have all the tech in the world, BUT it will start for me every time, will last for just about forever, and It has great trade-in value on it (it holds better resale value than any other truck brand for good reason).

48k daaamn over in my state you can get a platinum or the 1794 for that price

Great, when are u doing review on Golf gti 2018? 😊😊😊

I'd rather have a truck that last than a truck that has constant problems like dodge Chevy or Ford

After finding out how they went from a V8 to V6 in the new Tundras I’m definitely going to get one of these one day. A big GMC guy but I’ve always had respect for Toyota and their Japanese origin.

“The oneeee thing this truck has over the competition is reliability...so if you’re looking for a truck that’s reliable, this is the one for you.” Uhhh...reliability is everything! What good is a broken down vehicle?

Great review! I'm amazed they're asking that much money (with a straight face) for that truck, though. Just doesn't add up. Simple is one thing, cheap is another. And there are vast amounts of really, really cheap materials in that truck. I don't dislike the overall look, and Toyotas typically have really good reliability, but given the terrible interior and over-inflated price tag, it's just not worth considering. I'd be interested in looking again when they've reworked it.

First upgrade on my2017 Limited was to buy BF Goodrich All Terrain KO’2 s. Way more stable platform.

I'm ok with the cloth seats, but the steering wheel not being leather wrapped is really nickel and diming. The rest of the truck is very nice!

Have a 2017 tundra and I agree Toyota has fallen behind the domestic brands on many aspects. However, I would not be a tundra owner for the fact my new 2016 f-150 was a lemon, and Ford had to buy it back 6 months after purchase. Looking forward to 2020 tundra to see what Toyota does with their re-design. Until then I will stick with quality, dependability, and reliability of my current tundra. When the times comes for trade-in or sell I know it will have good value.

Idk if I am buying a truck then I am most likely wanting reliability and durability primarily. If I was going for looks and interior then probably a gmc sierra.

I'm Toyota loyal and after becoming so used to the reliability of them, I don't think I'd ever have the balls to get anything else. They do really need to update these though, they're falling so much behind. I won't ever need a full size truck so it's not something I'd ever seriously consider but damn it pains me to see these "new" ones on the road all the time

You said you got 17 miles on the highway, and 15 in the city, right?

This is like an iPhone, simple as hell, plain as hell, never changes, pricey as hell... And people will still always buy it because of its quality

I just bought my 18 tundra sr5 trd pro. This exact trick only in white. I rolled my 06 f150 and no air bag went off. No tech? This truck has more safety technology then others in the same price range. Plus no other truck has a fully opening rear window.

Prince Charles here, does it come with gold laced trim, silk seats or a caviar holder option. how about a precious gem storage compartment?

Same as the Tacoma. They buy them, and keep them till the wheels fall off. Could not agree more. A 2010 Tacoma Access Cab TRD with 90,000 still gets $18, 000 where I live.

How many days did it take for you too refill?

base model non turbo low tech trucks seem to last longer 👍

2005 tundra 280k miles still going strong 2uzfe for the win

I still want one

Does anyone know if toyota has addressed the dreaded ''cam tower oil leak'' that is showing up on the 5.7 motors (several years}? I have a 2014 tundra and have considered a 2018 but very concerned about this issue. This is a very costly fix outside the warranty. Maybe someone from Toyota can chime in.

The tundra is a great truck. I would like to see an updated new body and design. Maybe the diesel.

So I see a lot of people complaining about the tundra lacking tech., bad fuel economy & dated interior. The question, is the Tundra trying to be a luxury truck? Also, Toyota was just honest with the mpg numbers, other "modern" trucks consume almost same amount of fuel. On the TFL towing test, the tundra did consume just about same as the competition. Tundra doesn't have to be like the competition, it has to be a tundra. Others are only good on paper, modern tech is overly hyped.

No need for major changes. It's the best looking truck in the history of the world.

Excellent truck. I just wish Toyota had better gas mileage in both the Tundra and the Tacoma... if that improved, I’d pick one right up.

Not happy with my Tundra at the moment. I bought a 2016 SR5 TRD last year used at 38K miles, now figure out it needs a new gas tank due to a sticky roll-over valve which I suspect has been there since the truck was made (results in really frustrating fuel fill ups - slow, slow slow), Toyota is NOT interested in doing anything about it after chasing them several times, basically told me to go away. That will be a couple of grand to replace. I now also have a blow door lock activator on the left rear door -- apparently Toyota has had these issue for years, great another issue. So much for Toyota reliability and support ...

It’s dated in some aspects but far far far ahead in things like standard safety sense How is the new Silverado any better at all than my 2010 Silverado in anything other than frills as I just can’t see that 4 cylinder turbo having a long low cost life

I would like it more if they offered more bed size choices. Unless they start to offer the crew cab with a 6’ bed, I’m going with the Chevy or GMC.

Just bought a 2018 4.6 V8 GST/Gulf States Toyota TSS Off Road. For the price it can not be beat. Less than 35,000 plus tt&l. I installed a set of 4600 Bilsteins and am happy for the value spent. You can buy the TRD Sway Bars and LED lighting. As far as this video......you can get more with another brand at the same price? Find me a Ford/Chevy for under 35k with a V8........never.

Can you do a new Nissan Titan Pro-4x 5.6l Gas. Interested!

Toyota's new slogan should be: If its not broken! Dont fix it!

IMO you can get the prox4 titan with a discount about 10k less than this with a good warranty. Still not mind blowing inside but the toyotas still show so much date inside and charge those huge "toyota" brand numbers I dont get it.
