I would trust Toyota to work out all the issues after another 2-3 years and perfect it, but until then I’d be cautious

Don’t care what anyone says long-term that v8 Will be more reliable in the end no hate against the V6 twin Turbo actually like the truck I have a 21 tundra Trd pro and a old 03 sequoia with over 250K still goes no problems and Will probably buy the 23 Sequoia pro but don’t think it was last as long as my V-8s too much tech and things that can go wrong with it

Congrats on the soon 2-year KZfaq anniversary and going over 25 Million views!! You’ve kept me busy these past few years catching up with our vehicle maintenance but it’s nice to drive around knowing things are no longer neglected!!

I am so happy with my 2021 1794. Solid drive train. Turbos are great when still covered by warranty!

Just paid off my 2021. The new truck seems really nice, but it is a huge departure from the simplicity of Toyota. Maybe it will turn out to be just as reliable, but only time will tell. My 5.7 truck meets all my needs, and its bulletproof reputation is more important to me than a few more MPGs.

I absolutely love your common scenes approach to maintenance and advice to enhance Toyota's longevity. Thank you for sharing a foundation to ensure overall satisfaction with Toyota products. I honestly LOVE the new TUNDRA and would LOVE to have the opportunity to see first hand the amazing shift to the new generation.

I’ll keep my 5.7L with 205400 miles that’s never had an issue.

I really appreciate the pragmatism and realism you have in your videos. It’s why I subscribed- thanks for your content.

Love your review on the 2022 Toyota Tundra. You just have a way of giving the proper perspective that makes sense to me whether it’s good or bad. Wish you the best in all of your endeavors. Keep up the great work.

I have been totally happy with my 2008 Tundra SR5 TRD Offroad with the 5.7 liter V8. Yes it had its issues with the air pump but Toyota extended the warranty and took care of it both times. At 304500 miles now and still going strong but looking to buy new. While I might be able to live with the Turbo V6 the one thing I can't is the auto start/stop, have driven vehicles with this and it drives me crazy(no pun intended, will maybe a little one). One thing I will champion Toyota on is that they build a long lasting reliable vehicle and if there is an issue they will stand behind it and take care of it. Great video and very informative.

I have the 2024 Tundra with the 3" factory lift. I have driven trucks all my life. I have never received as many compliments and looks as I do with this new truck. Secondly, I have fallen in love with the ride and performance of this truck. The grill, well it grew on me, l. The fit and finish on my '24 are at least as good as my 2020 Solverado LST and 2015 Ram 1500 was. Love the truck so far.

It’s a pleasure to hear your pleasant voice , clear and loud. Your knowledge is very impressive, I watch all of your videos, thank you .

I purchased last year a 2021 Toyota Tundra Limited just to have the 5.7 V8 since it has a great track record. I do like the new Tundra, but I had bad experience with first year new model before. I just choose to go with old and reliable prior Tundra model. Thanks for a great review Car Care Nut!!!

Excellent review! Your insight with the initial mechanical inspection video helped me decide to pull the trigger and get a '22 SR5 (only one more month of waiting left). Everything I need in a truck, and nothing I don't. Should be noted that the bed step is an optional accessory and pretty expensive - it doesn't bother me since I am relatively in shape and can hop in the bed or step on the tire with no issue, but there probably should have been some sort of standard step. I also went with the predator running boards that are more functional, don't think the rock sliders serve much of a purpose as you noted.

Great video! I really apreacate what you have to say and thanks for the Turbo advice!

Bro, you're the best. Thank you for the information. Am watching from Kampala - Uganda 🇺🇬

I test drove a 22 Tundra and loved it. The turbos worried me a bit so I decided on a 22 4Runner. Glad I stayed away from the turbo issue. Hopefully they are as reliable some day as the last gen tundras. Great video buddy!

This truck will be perfect in 15 years when they finally fix everything and the new 2035 tundra gets announced haha . Jokes aside great video ! Truck drives excellent but no need to upgrade my 2021 🤘

Thank you for your videos brother. I'm so happy to have found you on KZfaq so I can make sure which Toyota I want in my life!

My friend works at the Toyota plant here in San Antonio and he would tell me they get recalls all the time on the turbos. I have a 2014 limited and wouldn't trade it for the new ones but that's just me I'm old school👴

Great, straightforward, honest review. I've got a 2018 that'll upgrade in a handful of years once the hybrid version is out and the bugs have been cleaned up. Thanks for your insights and time on this one.

When I bought my 2015 silverado many years ago I was in between the Silverado and the Tundra. The ONLY reason I did not get the Tundra was because I need a crew crab + long bed truck for work. When I saw that the new Tundra was going to give me that option I was SUPER happy! I love Toyotas because if you take care of them they take care of you and Toyota has always stuck with consistent refinement of their vehicles to make them better over time. As soon as I saw the new Tundra was dropping the 5.7 and only going the twin turbo route I was soooo confused. I understand they need to meet regulations about MPG, but that engine is legendary for lasting a long time! I don't want turbos since it's just unneeded complexity and it's another potential failure point that increases labor cost for me. My silverado now has 170k miles, so I'll be needing a new one in a year or two. I really wish I could have bought a new Tundra with the 5.7, but I think I'll have to get an f250 gas when it is time for me to upgrade. I don't really care about gas prices or mpg since it's all for work anyways, but I'd rather pay at the pump vs at the shop.

Love the new office and the consistency. Keep it up!

You’re delightful! What a thorough walk-through. Thank you.

Toyota V8 all the way. I would be interested in a V6 Diesel option.

Wow, they cleared the dealership building for you AMD 😅

Outstanding review as always. I have a 2018 I bought new and I do my best to keep it as long as possible.

New subscriber from Australia and very impressed with your presentation sir. The turbo remark is what I have been posting to another youtube channel for a little while occasionally to poke peoples imagination. Watching some youtubers they don't idle at all after a drive at speed. I idle EVERY time no mater the distance for my little turbo!

Was going to buy the new tundra after testing driving it I was disappointed that v6 was lame so I bought a 2021 trd pro tundra and I'm happy

I wish Toyota would make a regular cab long door short bed version of this truck without start-stop, and with a keyed ignition. I'll be keeping my V8 powered regular cab 2002 and 2007 SR5 Tundra trucks, I would maybe consider a used 2022 if they offered a regular cab but Toyota stopped making them in 2017. I would like the coil spring rear suspension, but I'll make due with the prehistoric leaf spring suspension I have. Great video review... Best of luck to those of you that buy the 2022 V6.

Great video thanks for sharing. I love this truck my Platinum edition is due in any day now. Really wanted the Capstone but can't wait another 6 months for them to start rolling in.

Keep up these great vids!

Previous generation Tundra all the way! 5.7 V8 is the preferred way to go in my opinion!

The V8 ones are currently more desirable plus you save all that money to pay for gas.

Thanks for your honest review, I have a 2018 5.7 and would like a new one, waiting awhile for all the reasons you are taking about.

I do like the way it gets better mpg than the older ones.

Excellent video. It answers most of anyone's questions. Rather stick with the older models or take on a new model? Nice choice either way.

Genuine dude with a passion great videos 💯

Really great, thorough review!

I always thought digital dashes were gimmicks. Just another thing to break. I prefer normal gauges

Love my '24 Tundra. I agree, I Don't miss the V8 when driving! ❤its actually a blast to drive, especially in sport mode.

like your honesty. Your videos are very functional and to the point. God Bless you and wish you and your channel continued success.

Great comprehensive video !

V8 sound created by the speakers. 🤣 Toyota made the decision to go v6 turbo, just own the sound. It's like they are ashamed of the way the engine sounds.

Based on both durability and reliability, the V8 is a no-brainer. Not even having a Diesel option is bad.

Great review as always AMD! Beautiful truck

Great video, very thorough

The turbochargers are a deal-breaker for me. I had a turbo-charged vehicle in the past and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Just one more thing to go wrong. I don't think a heavy vehicle like the tundra is going to be as long-lasting or as reliable as the turbocharged V-6. Should have kept the V-8 as an option with the new 10-speed transmission. I am looking for a low mileage V8.

It’s nice but I’m still keeping my 2018 Tundra TRD/Sport. It does what I need for my current toys. If I do upgrade it’s not smaller engine it’s going to be diesel power but that just me. I started from small engine for trucks and NOT going back when towing toys.

This has convinced me that my 2019 V-8 Tundra is just fine. Keeper!

i'm on my 3rd Tundra and i love them! i wen't from a 2008 to a 2015 TRD pro and i was over the moon at all the creature comforts. While i did buy my 2015 new and loved it, i got hit very hard while sitting at a red light and she was deemed totalled. i took that check and bought myself a 2016 Tundra Platinum with low miles and im happy as hell with my purchase. Tundra's are great, reliable, and can save your life like mine did.

I have my eyes on the Tundra crew max TRD Pro... 👍

Needs a bigger grill. But really, the grill on the Tundra is too big and never looked right. Unless you are a fan of the Transformer movies.

Great looking truck.... An even better review. Thank you👍

Thanks for another good video.

I'm on my 3rd Toyota Truck. First was a 1998 Tacoma. Loved it. Second was a 2005 Tundra. Loved it. My current truck is a 2014 Tundra. It has a simpler V-8 and I love it. Never thought I'd say this, but I am done with the Tundra til they offer it with a V-8.

My only beef is with the back bumper not being able to step up when tailgate is down like cmon I have to buy an accessory for that. Maybe they could of done something cool with the tailgate like GM does as well. Besides that its a nice truck can't wait for the used market to get one later on.

Excellent video--thanks!

Thank you for the video

Ford went through these growing pains with their Ecoboost. Toyota is going through the same growing pains with their waste gate issues on their 3.4. For a 5 mpg gain, I’ll take the 5.7 for reliability.

I just hate the huge grill design that automakers have latched on to. I think they all look ridiculous.

Nice video. I like how you noticed the design on the fenders and the bed. It does make the truck look wider without actually being wider. On that note it’s also a smart idea. Those creases and bends adds strength to those panels. Smart by Toyota.

Thanks for your review that is honest!

Very happy you were able to avert a pink slip in your pay envelope from the mothership with this positive spin of making lemonade from lemons. Just a leeetle observations: This turbo-problem motor is not a new motor It was introduced in the 2018 lexus 500 EXACT MODEL 3.5 liter V6 with twin turbos (LEXUS, copying Mercedes, calls it a 500 to describe it's horsepower similarities to the previous 480 - 4.8 V8.... but of course 20 points better than the old V8! In Mercedes' case, they take the exact same 2 liter 4 banger turbo and chip it for different horsepowers to get their 200, 250, 300 and 450 series cars, more money, same motor) So why, after 4 years in production, did this wunderkind turbo "500" suddenly have problems in the 2022 tundra? Notice they didn't call it a "590" in the 2022 tundra - "twenty points" higher than the 570 V8 it replaced, ha ha. You work the shop, plase tell us how many book shop labor hours to lift the truck cab completely off the frame just to work on these new wunderkind turbo-motor'ed trucks? Not a worry until 3 years or 36k miles after warranty expires; but will the 2022 owner need to take a second note out on a 2022 turbo truck just for the labor costs the "new" repair methodology increases? I hear, though I'll never climb in one, that the new crewmax has less interior room in the cab. I hear, though I'll never buy one, that the new tundra has a plastic bed. Plastic, age and UV rays do not mix well. I hear, though I'll never buy one, that the new 2022 tundra gas tank is 6 gallons less than the 38 gallon 2021 tank. I hated with a passion the 26.8 gallon tanks in my 2012 and 2015 tundras, and kissed the gas caps of my new 2019 and now 2021 tundras 38 gallon tanks. I travel often enough 600 to 900 miles/day and the extra range of a 38 gallon tank is a Godsend. ok, I've made my observations. In closing, unlike you, I disagree that Toyota listened to its customers on the 2022 Tundra build. I believe Toyota did not build a new model Tundra to please it's customer base, I believe it built this 2022 Tundra to please the US Government corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) wonks, to please the Toyota Cost Accountants who know that plastic is cheaper than sheet steel, that micro-chipped engine controls require less precision machining of V8 motors that can run a million miles; while microchips self-destruct much sooner from age, and turbos simply burn themselves out with short life-spans from processing 1000 degree exhaust gases into horsepower. In other words, Toyota built the 2022 Tundra to hasten the planned obsolescence of the new Tundra, a truck that many current owners of the old Tundra believe can last as long as they need a truck. There ain't enough suger water in the world to make me buy this 2022 Tundra lemon.

I hope the hybrid version will be smoother with stopping and starting and allow the A/C to stay on when it is stoped.

Outstanding review!

Information is very useful & honest .you work shop is very clean .

I appreciate your honesty AMD as always but it's a fact that a naturally aspirated V8 will always be more reliable than a twin turbo V6 because it is less complicated and will have less parts that will wear out overtime and Toyota could have modernized the 5.7 I force V8 and still allowed it to get better fuel economy and also possibly a bumping power while also using these new power plants as well. It's very disappointing and I can guarantee you that these engines even later on once the bugs get fixed still will not hold up to a million miles like what some of the 5.7s have been able to do..

I didn't know that there was an auto start stop on this truck. First time I have heard this. Definite deal breaker. I'll keep my 2019.

Nice honest review of the Toyota Tundra. AMD. 👍👍

Thanks for THE honest review

The new tundra is great. Toyota should definitely do something to make servicing the turbo wastegates easier though. I’m guessing Toyota will make design changes to make accessing these parts easier on updated models

Having to take the cab off to change the turbo is a deal breaker for any DIY mechanic.

This is the channel I was missing in my life!!!

Great review

Anyone else know where the front grille is? Hard to see

V8! Love the sound, more reliable, and do not care about efficiency. My personal preference. 😎👍

I like your critique, you go hard!

Great detailed video

If you have a V8 one especially a 2005 keep it want better gas mileage get a Camry Hybrid LE or a Prius. If you need a new tundra wait for the hybrid that’s coming if you must get one.

A few points, strictly my opinion of course… -It’s a shame that the manufacturer puts such a price on these vehicles that the average American consumer cannot afford them. This wasn’t the case in 1976 when my late father brought home the first of many Toyotas to our family. -I think that the twin turbo V6 will be more expensive to maintain/repair over the life of the engine, which might not be as long as the V8. -Still no USA diesel version (thanks Chicken Tax) -Great video, very informative, love your channel

Great video 👌

Excellent review 👍 👍

AMD, When they finally put you on the Toyota Board, please make sure the TRD Off Road package is available with an 8 foot bed 😉

My 2000 Tundra still runs like a top. Unless I go electric, I may be buried in it. Would like better mileage but it still works for me, like the day I drove it home from the dealer. On the 2022, I'd like to see the new rear view mirrors be able to slide/ adjust. .Pull out wide for towing, push in to retract for day to day. IMHO the new styling is too gimmicky. Form should follow function. I see no use for "screws that are not functional" inside the headlights. Why bother? Too much wasted plastic. Fit & finish, reliability, this is what you buy a Toyota for. If they lose that, they've lost everything. They need to regain first time-every time quality if they've lost it. As far as new designs needing refinement, it's a very frustrating routine having to bring a new vehicle back to the dealer, wait or get a loaner while you depend on them to fix, on their dime or yours (and they are the judge, and you are left in the position of having to trust a stealership) and for them to have to remove the body.... that's Ford crazy design territory. Later on, that will cost your first born and a limb, regardless of how long it actually takes them to do. I understand the need to improve fuel economy. I appreciate that Toyota is upgrading the electronics and interfaces. It has always been the case that a made in Japan Toyota, especially the engine, was the better quality option. (We have always checked the vin # to know.). Hate to see them release Beta vehicles with bugs, historically uncharacteristic. The gen 1 Tundra 4.7 engine from the get-go was a bullet proof Lexus design. Pre tested in real world is as it should continue to be, so dealer does not have to be on speed dial for recurring issues. You buy Toyota specifically to avoid that nightmare. Thank you for very honest review, allows me a real basis to form an opinion. Good information here.

Another high quality, informative video. Have been planning to order a club cab with 8.1 ft bed. May tow a light camping trailer, 4000 lbs. Is the air suspension worth it? Any issues with it? Thoughts on the new Tundra hybrid coming out? Will mpg pretty much stay the same but hp/torque will go up only? Thanks.

Hi, only want to say r t reason I bought a brand new TRD 4runner sport… and couldn’t be happier, so thank u very much for sharing your knowledge and experience so we can make an informed decision when buying a car

Thank you for the review. How about the towing ability?

With all due respect to the V8, I trust Toyota to make a reliable product, and we need a TT V6 to get better gas mileage. With the current gas prices, we need the mpgs more than ever. But time will tell. Hopefully the V6 will continue the trend of reliability with Toyotas and the Tundra.

That was a very good overview of the 22 Tundra . I have owned 6 Tundras. The 22 just hasn't grown on me yet and yes I have driven a couple of them several miles. I guess time will tell if one makes its way to my driveway. Thanks for the hard work you put into your video presentations and best of luck with the new buisness endeavor. I know that takes alot of courage to step out on your own, as for myself I will just keep on with the dealership life for a few more years.

When my 2003 4Runner's 2UZ wears out in another 20 years...I'll look for one of these.

I’m wondering if the start/stop feature will impact on the life of the turbochargers, as in when the turbos are really hot when you hit a red light, and then the engine shuts-off?

Simpler (the V-8) is always more reliable.

Ahmed. Very nice job with the Tundra review.

Great video AMD ..I test drove an SR5 Crewmax the other day and everything you're saying is spot on. The suspension is a huge improvement over my 2014 Crewmax. I noticed there were louvers behind the grill of the truck I test drove and and was wondering if you knew what it was, I thought it was fascinating. But can't find info on it.

Toyota definitely should have at least offered the 5.7 V8 as an option.That 3.5 V6 is tried and true as well but adding turbos makes me a little nervous in the long term

I like the “looks”. But what I can’t seem to grasp is no chrome full width bumpers. A chrome finish is hardened. A bumper is replaceable. Bolts on. On the farm or construction site….tall grass and brush beats off the painted finishes where traditional chrome bumpers used to be. I’m not in to chrome for show….just sayin.

I love your channel. Just found it. The only thing is they are a bit long. Keep it going brother

Amd thank you for your effort on making this video I know your and your wife are very busy with your new car workshop build family life too. Good bless you 🙏

I love Tundras and have an '06 as my daily driver, but I have to say I do NOT like the way the new Tundra looks. The front grill is so silly looking being so massive. I would hands down only have either my generation or the 2nd gen, never the 3rd gen.
