GT-R overland build? 😮

@philipsoucie3015 9 ай бұрын

I have both, 2020 TRD PRO in manual and a 2015 1794 Tundra. Both are wonderful. If I had to only have one, it would be the Tundra. Big, powerful, solid, comfortable and safe. Gas mileage is only 3 mpg difference. Zero problems with either.

@edfig Жыл бұрын

Went to the dealership and tested both. The Tundra feels like an SUV. Very smooth and powerful. The Tacoma is nothing fancy, drives a bit rough, less power. However, I bought the Tacoma because of reliability and because it felt like a real truck to me.

Also a note worth mentioning here is the other reason why I’m getting that gas mileage is because I switched from 87octane to 91 after a few short fill ups I definitely noticed the mpg went up and the truck livened up and also the Trd pro wheels, and the Toyo tires are extremely light combo that helps with the sprung and unsprung weight

Great video. I had this same question about seven years ago. Do I get the Taco or the Tundra. I really wanted the Tacoma but I was able to get a Tundra for the same price and with more features. So I went the Tundra route and have never looked back. The Tundra was such a good truck that when it came time to get rid of it I got a newer model of the same Tundra. I am glad to see that the positives outweigh the negatives in your experience as well. Thanks for another great review.

One of my passengers described it as riding in a Lincoln Town Car. Even my kids like playing in it. In my experience it does everything surprisingly well. Not great fuel economy but we can't have it all.

I had a 13 Tacoma and the 2nd gen was the best with the 4 litre v6. For towing, the Tacoma worked hard towing our RV so I got a 20 Tundra. The 5.7 V8 is much better towing and towing our RV makes it twice as fuel.efficient. We have had 4 Toyotas and all have been dead reliable. The only repairs on my Tacoma was replace rear springs and one hub/bearing. Tundra has had 2 minor warranty issues.

Which one is going to be better for towing? I really want to get a taco, but will that be able to pull two atvs, and a side by side? Or one atv and a side by side? Or would I be better off just getting a tundra? Granite I will not have tons of free time to go riding, but when I am able to I want to go ride. Who knows I may not end up getting a sized by side, because it would be cheaper just to get 2-3 atvs instead.

I've had 4 Toyotas as well, and I have had no issues with the exception of the starter in my 98 Tacoma, but I bought the part I think from autozone and had my Grandpa help me install it. The only issues I had with that truck was my young, dumbass crashing it. BUT, even though I have technically totaled it twice, engine wise, mechanically, that truck is indestructible. I sold it to my cousin and he had no issues with it. I love your trucks. I currently have a 2020 Tundra, and once I get back to the states after my tour here in Japan, I am debating between a new Tundra or Tacoma as a daily,, and a 4Runner/Sequoia as a family/wifey vehicle. I also want an overlander, so I am debating whether or not to use my current Tundra as a overlander, or the new Tundra.

Tough choices. I prefer SUVs, so I bought a Land Cruiser 200 some years ago. Because of KDSS, you can’t put as big a tire on it, but because of shorter wheelbase and overhangs, you don’t need as tall a tire, so I make do with 33’s. Not to mention big tires are damn heavy to attempt to manhandle.

Regarding the rear cab space, do you notice if the tundra has more head room and fits you better? I would have to say my tacoma doublecab is very uncomfortable because the floor is very high and that makes my knees come up closer to my body. This is extremely uncomfortable.
