Is the new Toyota Tundra TRD PRO a good truck for #dailydriver ? It sure has the looks, off-road demeanor, and power...but is it tolerable day in an day out?

The previous generation of V8 vehicles have set an incredible standard of longevity to overcome. I have doubts the complexity of Dynamic Force engine plus turbo plus hybrid would ever match that.

Looks like a nice truck if you can afford it. My dad's 13' Tundra has 195,000 miles on it. He loves everything about it except the fact that it gets 14mpg

Kirk, For those who need a common sense, full-size work truck but can survive with less than 400 hp, I hope Toyota comes back with an adequately powerful yet highly efficient powertrain option. 🤔

@jimthumerzs2301 Жыл бұрын

I'd buy a Tundra with a NA V-6 with around 300 hp, like the domestics offer. Something way cheaper, efficient and hopefully, reliable.

Is that true? Why did they move to subframe unibody designs then? Safety reasons?

@MukiMuki688 Жыл бұрын

@@abes7181 Saw your reply just now. Only a few trucks on the market, afaik, are unibody: The Honda RidgeLine and the Ford Mav. Which isn't surprising, according to C&D there are 2 advantages to ladder frames: 1) tensile strength, good for towing 2) lower R&D costs. Essentially, ladder frame vehicles can tow more and are more rudimentary compared to unibody, which is good for workhorses like trucks.

I hope Toyota has worked on reliability. (Edit: By that, I meant that I hope it got the small bugs worked out. I’ve been hearing small issues on the Tacoma and Tundra after going from V8 to turbocharged V6. Of course Toyota is still way ahead in reliability even after these small issues)

Where are they having issues with this truck? Wastegate only affected a limited amount of trucks. Backend torque on bolts was fixed before I got mine at the end of 22. So like what???

@CU08 Жыл бұрын

Looks nice. But, the interior feels incredibly cheap. For $70k, it's a hard pass IMO. The powertrain had a bunch of teething issues from the onset, despite coming from Toyota. A complicated hybrid powertrain will only be a detriment to it down the road. For the cost, you'd have to be foolish or a brand loyalist to get this over any of the Big 3 offerings.

Ram is lucky because they haven't had a refresh, but not problem free. Ford GMC/Chevy have quite a few issues, top being transmission and the amazing bust into flames feature. Sure, but let's go with that 😂
