Appreciate the new Tundra deep-dive videos - thank you! I have a 2023 1794 and LOVE it!

Always love your videos AMD! And it was nice to catch up with you last week! I love my Tundra TRD Pro for many reasons you pointed out, but still can't believe the "reverse D" defect I had on the hood emblem. It's definitely a solid truck and after driving the Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado this week side by side with the Tundra, it seems Toyota did its homework in coming up with a "balanced" truck that hits the sweet spot.

This is probably one of the best simple video about the new Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. I totally agree on the good and bad things that were pointed out.

Thank you for the videos AMD. These trucks have issues and Toyota has really dropped the ball on quality control. I picked up my 2023 Platinum last week. It spent 4 out of the 8 days I had it at the dealership. Build date was 11/22. When I drove it home from the dealership I felt the suspension bottom out twice. Turns out that the air suspension was out of spec and it was not adjusted correctly from the factory per the dealership. They verified and performed a TSB for it. That fixed the issue. Then my A Pillar began to rattle incessantly. The dealer found that the clips were broken inside the A Pillar. The dealer put foam inside it because toyota told them they didn’t have the clips available to fix it due to shortages. The rattling continued. Then my center console got worse. They rattle straight out of the factory and it got worse in the 8 days I owned it. The dealer put felt inside. It helped by about 50%. On the way home from the dealership service the drivers side window started to whistle bad. I rolled it up and down many times and it wouldn’t go away. The next day I drove for about 2 hours and the front seats have a horizontal support bar positioned way too far back towards the seat back. If your anatomy isn’t just right, you’ll be sitting on a thinly padded bar. The seats are poorly designed with minimal padding. That was the last straw and I took a hit and sold it back to the dealer and lost a couple grand in the taxes I paid. Well worth getting rid of it. Toyota may get this right in a few years but I’d highly recommend staying away from this truck right now. We own a newer highlander and a Venza and they’re great. So im not a toyota hater. And I owned a 2004 tundra for 15 trouble free years waiting for this new generation. Very disappointing.

As always an excellent full review including the chassis. Hope your beautiful new shop is doing well. Wishing you and yours all the best during the holiday season.

They used to say Toyota in the front pre 1991. Then the Toyota logo. I like that Toyota letters are coming back

Your narration and humor are always great.

AMD Another great video on the Tundra Trd Pro. You have to own or drive one of these trucks to appreciate how they drive and the quality that Toyota has put in them and the thought process that goes into designing these trucks. I appreciate your knowledge and the wisdom that you put in creating these videos for us - keep them coming as they are a gold mine. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

Great review 👍You really know your stuff and I like the fact that you are honest.

What a great overhaul review. Thank you. Even watched it twice.

Your videos are very refreshing and stand out from the typical sells guy/ amateur owner videos.

I just haven’t warmed up to these new Tundra’s! From the total lack of recovery hooks on their “ Off Road” models to the wastegate issues on the turbo’s plus the fact that many 5.7 V8’s have gone over a million miles. Talk to me about this truck when one reaches one million miles & maybe I’ll be a believer? I’ve seen many videos on KZfaq of these trucks going off road & literally were falling apart ! 😂

Outstanding overview. Really appreciate your personal thoughts & observations regarding the TRD Pro. Thank you!

I made my decision to get the pro because of you. Thank you.

Great Video. I am a new subscriber as I just found your channel and I'm enjoying your videos. I have a 2008 Tundra V8 4.7 I bought new and absolutely love it with just about 180,000 on it. I love the way the new Tundras look but without that V8 option I will not buy another as I feel pickup trucks of .5 ton or higher really need that bigger engine. Also I am not sold on anything Hybrid, it has its goods but also bads. Keep the Hybrid in the F1 cars and off the streets lol. Anyway thank you for sharing and I look forward to watching more! Stay safe and well!

Loved this review. This guy speaks to me.

I'm the lucky owner of a 2023 Solar Octane Tundra TRD Pro (purchased at MSRP, score!). I test drove a Capstone prior to buying mine. 2 things I wish it had: heated/cooled rear seats for the kiddos, and the mood lighting. Otherwise...amazing vehicle.

I like how TRD pro badging is so subtle

Dream truck but man the prices are ridiculous even without the dealer mark ups. I'm cheap so I would rather get a used V8 Tundra

Great review! This exact truck is what I’m saving for! I love the white exterior and the red interior. I NEED it 😂

AMD...Went to my local Toyota dealer this morning. They said I should replace the spark plugs on my 2014 Avalon. Price: $269.00!! Why so expense, do they have to remove the engine! (joke). Anyway, after they checked my prior service, they said... no they were replaced at 115,000. Bottom line, my Avalon has 150,247 miles... still no rec's from the dealer for any work to be done. Even my brakes are fine... no prior work ever done! Thank you again for your KZfaq videos!

I could without any of the Red in the Cab Part of this Truck..😎

Fair and honest. All the points brought up are valid

Thanks for your insights. Beautiful truck

Great review. They need to put 12v outlets above the rear view mirror (upper console) for dash cams and radar detectors. That would clean up the cords running down to the dash.

Thanks for helping me make up my mind TRD pro it is!

This man is the real deal. Thank you!!

I was waiting for this review. Now I can buy it confidently.

I love my '16 TRD Pro Tundo. Don't imagine i'd ever get a new one at the prices they are fetching now unfortunately.

I have the TRDpro in Lunar gray with Red interior. Soooo love the truck!

Not in the market for a truck but listened to this wonderful review. I’m more of a Sequioa guy. And awaiting your review of the suv version of the Tundra.

I love your videos. Keep it up!

Great video. I wanted a TRD Tundra pro but the markups were ridiculous. So I ended up with a 2022 Tundra Platinum loving the truck tho

My 2023 sr5 is definitely getting that grill

Great video! Love your channel. In your opinion, do you think the air dam has any impact on how the vehicle drives at higher speeds?

I went with an 2023 SR5 No issues so far. I'm not a fan of the red interior, but to each their own.

Like the truck; but, the 3 Amber lights on the top of the grill sure mimic the FORD Raptor... in my opinion can do without; yet, the integrated light bar is definitely welcomed. Thanks for another great thorough intro/review video!!

I’d love to hear what you think of the upcoming Prius!! Great video, I just can’t get in this new Tundra

Our father has a 2020 Tundra TRD. It is incredibly good. But we will never buy this new generation. No V8, two turbos and/or hybrid batteries to worry about after 200K-300K. Nobody knows how constant towing will treat those new technologies in 4-5 years. The cost cuts in the 2022 are also very noticeable. The famous interior rattles and squeaks reflect the cheap plastics you have shown. I have been very disappointed with Toyota quality ever since most of their 2018 models.

Love the TRD pro my dream truck is a sequoia TRD pro white with the red leather interior and the beefy roof rack

Another Great Video AMD ! I was under the impression that Toyota reserves the Block TOYOTA lettering on the grill of only the toughest and top model that’s available for that production year .. thought I read that somewhere .. is that a new lift you have the Tundra on ?

Maybe in my next life, I'll be able to afford something this nice.

For the money, I am glad I bought the earlier model. Thanks for the TRD PRO rundown!

Agreed re the cheap parts, very frustrating considering the price point.

Thank you for all you do. I have a 2020 TRD Pro 4runner and the fit/finish is perfect! Have you heard any rumors of the Land Cruiser coming back to the U.S.?

Good review i enjoyed watching, for anyone wondering the engine noise can be turned off with certain apps and obd scanners that run around 40 bucks.... think its called carista or something.

At the start i give 👍becouse this car looks amazing. I never seen in my country.

I live up North Minnesota, please make some video for TRD PRO how to warm up in mornings, how to efficiently use this new system because I watched your other video and it’s not 100% typical hybrid. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for another Great video about a Great TRUCK, Yes haters I called it a TRUCK. I got my new 22 Tundra TRUCK last month and I am super thrilled with everything about it. I know it will give me 10 years of great service and the next owner many many more.

Great video as always. Yesterday, in the Consumer Reports magazine, which normally is quite favorable to Toyota's products, I noted that they listed the Tundra as a 'don't buy' because of poor reliability issues. If so, I think that these are just assembly glitches for the new model and will be resolved by Toyota.

I absolutely love Toyota styling. I like all the models.

Just few things that were poorly executed: 1. No tow hooks 2. No bed step on bumper. 3. Subscription based maps and remote starter. 4. Moved cruise control on to steering wheel. 5. No mechanical linkage for tailgate operation. 6. Wireless phone charger too far away. 7. No front differential lock, as Chevrolet now has. 8. Almost forgot, reliably issues already. *edit* 9. Was reminded about no V8 option. (Was the entire reason I purchased a 2021 Tundra) And ...yes our 2021 4runner TRD Off Road makes use of the Rear Locker regularly.

If this came with the V8 option still I would have considered it

As usual another great informative video AMD ! I have one coming in March of 23. It will be MGM in color. The 22 1794 Tundra TRD OR I-Force MGM I have now is a terrific truck as well, absolutely no problems.

Have the same issue with the dash corner by the vent. I thought it was just mine. I also have that window trim issue. I have the limited trdoffroad. I want the trd pro but really looking forward to the trailhunter model. Thank you again for your reviews and honesty. I agree with the arm rest on the doors. Fantastic idea. I wish the analog cluster was more up to date. Especially would like the boost gauge. Did any of the models you drove have squeaking brakes?

@Car Care Nut if you have no intentions of going off road with the truck ( I am 67) is this still the trim you would recommend? Also, I cannot afford a Capstone.

Question would you consider the Trail Hunter Tacoma over the Tundra Pro?

Thank you AMD! I really enjoy watching your videos. I just bought a 2023 Tundra trd pro 6 weeks ago. I’m trying to figure out what gasoline I should be using in this truck. 87, 89, or 91 octane? Any advice? I live in Southern California. I drive 10,000 miles a year. I am not towing anything… yet. Thank you again!

I Love your sarcasms and irony because you got a point

LAND CRUISER question Toyota is unable to repair our 2014 (purchased new) intermittent wipers. They work while stopped in traffic but stop working while moving. Toyota pretty much gave up. Any ideas. Love your videos been a subscriber forever. Love your new shop too looks super nice You deserve success with all your hard work thanks

Best Toyota channel EVER!

Thank you so much for your video Here in dubai we don't have the tundra at toyota dealer but most export it from Canada and USA ( brand new) We have the Toyota hilux 4 cylinder or v6 and we the most reliable truck ever made the land cruiser pick up 🌹🌹

Hopefully you can do a video on the Camry Hybrid. That would be interesting.

The window flat platform to rest your arm is from an FJ cruiser. I use it daily.

I must have missed your presentation of one of the most important must-have features of any off-road truck, the front tow hooks.

Hi Ahmed! I really enjoy watching all your videos and I've learned alot. And if there's one thing I have learned is about the importance of checking and changing my oil. It's #1. I have a 2018 Tacoma and we all know where and how that oil filter service is done. And the Tacoma TRD Skid Plate has a door to access the oil filter. So, I wondered why you didn't show the location of the oil filter on the Tundra when I noticed the Tundra TRD Skid Plate does not appear to have the same door. Also, you didn't show us the Engine Compartment. (Always love to see the engine). And too, you show us the ginormous fuel tank but, what is the capacity? Maybe a "tech quickie" video to supplement?

Great vedio, AMD. Do you know what is the oil drain plug torque spec for corolla cross 2022?

Can you do a video talking about the 4wd system. I’m curious as to how it works, is it an open differential like prior generations. Currently trying to decide if it’s worth switching my gen2 sequoia for the new 1 but I’m hearing that it can’t be driven in 4wd like the gen 2.

It is a sexy looking truck for sure. Looks awesome. I still think I will hold on to my 2017 tundra with a 5.7 and my 2006 with 4.7L. All electrical crap and sensors and batteries are not gonna be cheap to replace after warranty is out. And working on hybrid system is not something backyard mechanic should mess with. These are still awesome trucks hands down

Outstanding video!

AMD this is what I would love to see , a review on the f150 hybrid and after the full review then a one and on comparison against tundra hybrid, I'm interested in the which hybrid system to go with because I'm looking to buy one but not sure which to go with

I originally wanted the TRD PRO but could not find one. I ended up with the Capstone and love it. 99% of my driving is Highway so I like the comfort.

Very nice truck. Though all those specific TRD badges will make replacing any of those parts down the road extremely expensive.

Great and top notch video. I got one last month. Only concern I have is whether or not the twin turbos will blow in the near future.

Great review. If it's the top trim version; what could the blank switches be for? Can you get acoustic glass? 100% agree about those cheesy door handles. Too many TRD's for my taste.

Toyota's concession to the half ton segment. Dropping the V8 is their biggest mistake for full-size trucks IMO.

Good morning, AMD. I have a question. On my 2007 Toyota Camry LE, the shop where I took my car to get my new tires installed said my lower control arms need to be replaced, which I did confirm so my question is since I'm going to be replacing anything else I should replace since I'm there like ball joints or something? Would I have to take my car back to get realignment? Thanks

The poetry at the end 🧐

I just traded my 22 TRD PRO for a 23 Platinum Hybrid. Couldn't be happier. My truck is a pavement princess. My platinum is more than capable of tackling the occasional dirt road I go on in MUCH more comfort. Both trucks are about the same price. I'm 43 not 25. Give me creature comforts over fox shocks I'll never use any day! :D

AMD, Did you borrow this TRD Pro from David at Automotive Press? 😉 You focused on the T-O-Y-O-T-A printed on the front grille and dash. On a white pickup like this, I think the classic company 'signature' is the word TOYOTA written in red letters across the tailgate. 🤩 As a truck, my only real concern with the Tundra is the shrunken interior which is a very common theme in every Toyota that has come along in the last 5 years.

If given the choice to keep a vehicle for the next 15+ years, used for towing an Airstream camper, less than 5k miles total use per year, which would u choose: 2021 Sequoia Platinum 4WD or 2023 Sequoia Capstone 4WD? I love my 2021 and that it’s NA V8, but hate not having the 360 camera, parking sensors, rear cross traffic alert/braking, heated steering wheel, and seats that actually cooled effectively, else my 2021 is flawless for me.

I PERSONALLY love "Tacos" better. I jst like the look. Sayn this, I agree w/TRD version, dont like chrome on trucks. If I WANTED a truck, price is way out of MY pocket book. I guess the black door handles is like the Toyota's nite shades. Great analysis! 👍🇺🇸

I love your videos. Showing good and bad things about the cars 😅

Large Toyota lettering reminds me of Tonka. I’d paint the front bumper body color because it makes the grill look too large 😊

Enjoy watching your videos

AMD, if you're in the market for a full size truck, which one would you buy and why?

AMD, I just picked up my 23 Tundra Pro 5 days ago. It has 50 miles on it, how should I beak in this brand new hybrid engine. I did see your how to break in an engine video, but is there any thing else since it is a hybrid? Should I get the oil change at 1000 miles?

You showing the poor fit and finish of this truck is why I watch your channel. I noticed it twice with two separate tundras I saw at the dealer waiting for my Toyota care service (which btw is a whole mother story. The tech put 4.9 quarts in my 1.8 which calls for 4.4. The 2.0 takes 4.9) most channels floss over the troubled things.

I got a third-gen SR5 with the TRD Off-Road premium package and some other bits...it's the best of both worlds and no hybrid, moonroof or gaudy Pro red trim. However, I had a second-gen SR5 and there were many things about the interior that seemed better than the new trucks. Regardless, It's a far better ride and the improved torque is noticeable. The over-engineering of the rear suspension is impressive.

toyota show also that is capable to win in motorsport.. he has done in rallies and also in the dakar.. just a winning company

Got my 2017 TRD pro taco, tundra was too big for trails in my opinion, almost at 30k miles and runs like a dream still!

AMD would you be willing to do a show on various shifting, towing, hauling, eco/sport modes on Toyota trucks/SUVs? How they work and when to use what? My 2012 Tacoma TRD PRO had at least 9 4WD modes, my 2022 Tundra SR5 w/ tow package has eco/sport, tow/haul... the manual notoriously don't help make it clear precisely what these different modes do (timing or compressions changes? Less gear hunting when towing, etc.). Thanks for considering.

Great video as always. How much are the dealerships charging for the TRD Pros? How much over msrp?

This channel now appears to be the New Toyota marketing station.

I couldn't imagine off-roading in a nice new truck like that. To me, I'd want an older truck so I wouldn't have to worry about messing it up. I don't like the camo in black trim either.

The TRD Pro 2023 is my favorite truck ever made!!! I have mine pre-ordered. I LOVE everything about this truck! Perfect is the word I’d use to describe it.

Do I need to warm up my Prius 2020 in freezing 🥶 winter time???? Please answer me soon as possible

Another great video.

You are soooooooo right!!! Just look at the new F150 and Dodge.......Everything is thought about and then thought about some more. Seemed like they were in a hurry with this one.

“If you don’t know what TRD pro is we have problems”😂
