Well, Stephen Provost was the Senior Engineer of the Second Generation Tundra, not Mike. Mike was in charge to cut 40 percent of the cost, because Toyota thought Stephen over engineered it , and Toyota was bitter it didn’t sell in bigger numbers, and why it took too long to redesign it. Mike himself said this new Tundra wasn’t the direction he wanted, but made the most of the Landcruiser platform, and cut costs to make a new Tundra happen.

My experience is a little different mostly with the front seat. 2010 Tundra 4.6 extracab ⁶speed with tow-hall has been with me since 2008 (cash for clunkers cleared out 09 stock, only thing left was the next year's models). Besides the wheel wells my truck bed has seen more damage. And I drive it hard, really hard the first 5 years 40,000 miles a year with lots of cubicle furniture loads or tools and some towing. With what I just saw, engineers didn't take into account the lower bed section reinforcement. I push pallets till the truck bed stops it. I have had (7 HM Ethospace larger wall mount work stations with ² drawer lateral files and peds) 4- dbl stacked 42"d × 48"w loaded pallets and like a 60" wide pallet on the tailgate and that last pallet was hanging off the edge. So the bottom of bed front is bent towards the body. Now with heavy loads I can hear a slight tapping of the bed hitting the cab. I couldn't sleep in the driver side, I had to use passenger side. My driver seat has the same tear most get, left side lower seat, was the same in my T-100 that had 642,000ish miles. Truck is great, the edge of the seat not so much, So needs improvement there for me. Otherwise super dependable and tows great. Even overweight 🤫. I still drive it all the time. It's my everyday work, tow, and play truck. I wish I would have got 4×4, only regret. Was out of my price range.

The fact that this front seat was made such a bid deal of given its overall great condition after a million miles I find it ironic the issues you had with your seat after less then a year of ownership. Do you think this is something Toyota will address given the fact of all the issues I'm seeing with the plastic trim piece breaking/coming off like yours did. Also no matter of anyone’s opinion of Toyota I believe most will agree Mike is the most honest and transparent lead engineer who is willing to actually talk to people compared to any other truck manufacturer.

Would be nice to see all the components of the outgoing tundra next to the new one. The advertisements and videos on the old tundra were all about how tough and overbuilt it was. The new tundra commercials are about driving the truck next to dirt bikes and towing light weight sxs trailers and doing other things a Subaru Outback shows their vehicles doing. It’s just not being advertised for work.

I’ll save you the trouble. My friend is a mechanical engineer at Toyota and tears apart competitor cars all the time. Ford is without a doubt the cheapest manufacturer that is always looking to save money. My friend said the things they put in their Ford trucks isn’t up to our standard in Toyota trucks. GM he says is much better built than Ford, and Honda is the closest to them. Nissan is okay.

I love this truck and love the ideas. I really do. But comming from a 2011 f150 3.5 ecoboost owner, turbos just cannot, and will not last forever. I had no issues with the motor that 3.5l is an absolute monster. It was the turbos. Having a background of building small 4cyl. Turbo powered cars, turbos do NOT last forever. Its great that they're making all these body improvements. I dont know of any manufacturer that guarantees a turbocharger for a million miles. I just don't.

Great content thanks for taking the time with Mike. I could listen to him for hours. He is truly passionate about the truck and it’s quality and long term durability. I got a 21 as I was a little skeptical of the 22 being so new. I will upgrade to the new gen once all the bugs are ironed out and I know it will still carry the reliability that Tundra is known for.

ok, about the ballistic nylon, I get that it's strong and it bounces back, but how well does it resist deformation in the first place, as in how stiff is it for off-road use? Thick steel is nice to the degree that you can rest or bash the truck on a rock to a degree and not worry that it's bent and hit whatever's behind it. Ballistic nylon in a bulletproof vest prevents penetration, but you'll still get broken ribs and significant bruising without any plates behind it.

I'd like more info on this material. From my experience, ballistic nylon is a woven fabric style material that flexes, conforms to different shapes easily and is elastic and able to absorb energy (hence the name). The underbody protection there looks very rigid. Is it a true ballistic nylon fabric? Or is it just a name from a similar company who makes actual ballistic nylon?

The 299,999 odometer cars they aren't disclosing are the Prius, Matrix, and Corolla. Hand jotting mileage from 300k onward isn't daunting considering that's the only work you'll ever have to do. On the bright side when your insurance goes to verify mileage you put zero miles on every year and get a heck of a discount.

@@AKn4lf Lane departure AND lane centering can be turned off and they stay off. I don't really pay much attention to Auto Start/Stop honestly because you really have to push on the brake pedal to activate it. There is a button to turn it off, but I've never cycled the truck (on and then off) to see if it stays off. I've only engaged it about 3 times and each time I had to do it on purpose with really smashing the brake pedal to see if it worked. I've gone off-road and it works well with the one big change that crawl control is nearly silent now. It is quite an improvement. There is no way to turn off the parking sensors, but it isn't that big of a deal. You just hit the "ok" button and it mutes them, so they never chime and you basically forget about them. The cameras all work well and especially well off-road like most modern trucks these days. Honestly, I tend to 4 wheel in 4 LO most times. 4 LO gives me max torque and turns off all the safety systems. And no, there is no max speed with 4 LO just have to watch the engine RPMs.
