2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum Review | Is The Hybrid Worth It?

The Tundra's optional hybrid system is suspiciously similar in design to Ford's F-150 Powerboost system... But without the on-board generator function that has made the F-150 hybrid such a big seller in the USA. Which is right for you?

This is one of the first videos Nick ever recorded, so be kind :)

Toyota needs to add:

1) a 8kW inverter similar to the F150 hybrid

2) auto 4WD mode

Fun tidbit: the Tundra currently is on its way to having its biggest sales year since 2007.

Did the engine blow up when the camera stopped filming?

I hate the black fender flares. Makes the wheel gap look huge.

What a world we live in now. 70k for a Toyota truck

[dtay]

Will it qualify for the engine replacement recall Toyota issued?

[desertmodern]

Artificial engine sound should always be defeatable.

Nick, Let's face it, for a humongous, 3 ton pickup with a tiny bed, the rear seat space 7:50 is PATHETIC! Just because Toyota's 5'5" Chairman fits, does not mean it is good enough
for the rest of us. 🤨

V8 fuel economy at Hybrid price? Sign me up… to keep buying v8s!

From size if Ridgeline to this, but need f1350 and f450 competition

Great review. You need to come up with a unique adjective like Alex such as logically or logical, hahaha. Well done. You come off as well researched and a knowledgeable reviewer. Great job for you first review. Your tone and voice kept me interested and you didn't make me bored at all. A fair review overall.

$70k for any Toyota is a hard pass, especially one with a self destructing engine 😂

[amberheywood]

No, get a Ford with an ecoboost. My Expedition got better mpg than the hybrid Sequoia. How can you make a hybrid get worse mileage than a gamer?

[richadent]

Hard to believe Ford makes a better motor for their pickup 5.0L

[RedHuntsman]

When mentioning height also indicate your pant's inseam measurement. I'm that same 6'1" height but I'm all legs so I might have headroom in the back but not legroom yet I don't know if you just state total height.

[RedHuntsman]

My Lexus has a volume knob for the fake engine noise. Why they force you to add sound on the Tundra is stupid—just to sell the truck.

[Wised]

Absolutely! Given the normal engine one is getting all the engines recalled and replaced! 120k engines swapped! Their won't be any of the non hybrid ones available for a while. Itried A tundra a few years ago when I bought a truck, it sucked compared to the F150 ecoboost. It was slow, torpid, and had a rough ride. Now it turns out they had bum engines too. Need a full size truck? Buy real american. Better yet, get an electric one! If you don't tow far often, the Lightning is better than the Tundra in all parameters.

Not with v8 gas mileage and an engine so unreliable it's being replaced in a hundred thousand trucks

Off road suspensions are softer not firmer.
