 What's up you guys, I'll go back to another one. If you're new to this channel, I am Goldpony at the new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2024 Toyota Tundra courtesy of younger Toyota in Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory. Please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So we're in this one today because there are a couple nice changes for the 2024 Tundra. This thing is an absolute beast as well. So ultimately this video will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering wheel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so there are several different configurations for the 2024 Tundra Limited. Essentially pricing will start at $51,855 for the four by two double cab six and a half foot bed. And then it can go up to $54,235 for the four by two crew max six and a half foot bed. However, that was all pricing for the four by two. Like I said, if you wanted to add the four by four configuration simply add $3,000 to any of those prices on the screen there. But regardless of the configuration that you go with the power plant is going to be the same. Powering the beast is a 3.4 liter twin turbo V6 putting out 389 horsepower at 5,200 RPM, 479 pound feet of torque coming in at 2,400 RPM power sent to the rear wheels or all wheels through a 10 speed automatic zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 5.7 seconds. That's impressive right there. FPG numbers coming in at 18 in the city, 23 on the highway for the rear wheel drive, 17 city, 22 then on the highway for the four wheel drive taking regular unleaded fuel. That would always surprise me with a twin turbo V6 like this thing has. But anyways, before we do any kind of fun acceleration here in the Tundra I did want to mention to you guys the drive mids is a circular dial located directly behind the shifter. Drive mids will include Eco, Normal, Sport, Toe and Hall as well just in things like the shift points and the throttle response. So now having got all of that out of the way what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the Tundra here to the test end. Let's see how quickly we can get our new 2024 Tundra here up to speed. All right, here is our straightaway in three, two, one, go. You're spinning, what the heck? Oh man, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. That is a heck of an acceleration for a full size pickup truck. That is for sure. Oh man, that was kind of fun. The other thing is with this twin turbo V6 a lot of people may be thinking, well, how's the reliability? It's a twin turbo V6. And I did a little bit of digging into that one and actually spoke with someone at a Lexus dealership recently as well about this particular engine because it has actually been around for a little while. So Lexus even dropped it in their new LS. They actually tested this particular engine for six years prior to that Toyota slash Lexus. So they now have it in the Lexus LS. They're putting it in the new GX as well. I think there's one other vehicle that they have it in. They have it in the Tundra here. So it has been tested. And according to the Lexus sales person that I spoke with a couple of days ago, I was asking them about this particular engine. They actually said it's been rock solid. They haven't really had anybody come in for any issues with it either. So that's pretty good to hear. In case anybody was wondering about the reliability, but as far as acceleration goes, it's a heck of an acceleration. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So upfront, you will find 13.9 inch ventilated front discs. In the back, 13.6 inch ventilated rear discs, as far as that 60 or stopping distance goes, that comes in at 131 feet. So it is a little bit on the higher side of things, but having said that, I've seen trucks with worse than that, even the 140. So honestly, 131, that's plenty fine for what this vehicle is. I've seen three row SUVs come in worse than that. So absolutely no issues there. Then touching on suspension and handling, upfront you're gonna get an independent double wishbone type front suspension. In the back coil spring multi-link rear suspension. There is a rear air suspension available for $650 if you wanted to go that route. There is also though an off-road suspension with Bilstein shocks that comes with the TRD off-road package. By the way, that package goes for roughly a little over $3,000, but that's obviously gonna give you the best off-road setup. As far as ride quality goes in our short little test drive here today at least, it's been perfectly fine. It's been perfectly fine. These roads are pretty smooth though, but honestly for a truck, I haven't had any issues there. As far as steering feel goes, it's honestly just right. It's not a super heavy weight to it, but it's not a loosey-goosey steering feel that you typically find in SUVs either. It feels just right for what the truck is. As far as cabin noise goes, you guys can tell right now I'm going 33 miles per hour. There isn't a whole lot of exterior wind or road noise really coming into the cabin. And I did want to also mention there's an acoustic-liminated front windshield that comes standard on the limited trim. So that could be contributing to that a little bit, detonating some of the exterior wind noise. So definitely don't mind that. But then as far as visibility goes, honestly, you can see perfectly fine out the back. So you're 100% not gonna have any issues with that either. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Toyota Tundra. All right, so here she is you guys. The new 2024 Toyota Tundra finished in magnetic gray metallic. In case you were curious of the exact exterior color name that we had on this one here today. But as always, let's go ahead and start with where the Tundra is made. Taking a look at the VIN. First character is the number five, indicating that the Tundra is built and assembled here in the U.S. Specifically Texas, in case you were curious. But let's go ahead and start up front. All black front grille will come standard on the limited trim level. Satin chrome surrounds also coming standard as well. We got that Tundra lettering found on the bottom portion of the rear bumper. We actually get up a little bit closer so you guys can actually see that part. So that is there as well. LED headlights with LED daytime running lights do come standard of course. You get the automatic feature as well along with automatic high beams. So if you have your high beams on at night and it senses the vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's gonna automatically dim them back to low beams and when that vehicle is gone, it's gonna automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you there. So very convenient feature there. And of course to the bottom there found kind of just below the front grille. You're gonna find LED fog lights, which by the way also comes standard on the limited. So you gotta love that. So anyways, that pretty much rounds out the front end. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now since we are around to the side of this one on this beautiful cold morning here in Western Maryland, gloss black A pillar does come standard, gonna find some chrome belt line molding. You got the chrome limited badging found on the rear doors there that definitely looks good. Got the chrome Tundra badging found on the front doors. So a lot of chrome accents there because got chrome door handles as well. Gray painted fender surrounds. That's one of the unique features kind of of the limited trim level Tundra specifically. Can't tell as much because we have a magnetic gray exterior but even if you were to go with a white exterior or a black, they're still gonna be gray fender surround. So I did wanna mention that as well. Taking a look at the side mirrors, power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be body colored. They will be heated, auto dimming, integrated turd signals, power folding with the reverse gear tilt down feature. So quite a bit going on with their side mirrors specifically for the limited trim. So I definitely like that. Then taking a look down at the wheel setup, 20 inch machine finished by color aluminum alloys do come standard. That is what you guys are looking at. And I think they definitely look good down there but that pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back. It's something else since we are around to the back of this one. Body colored tailgate spoiler does come standard. Chrome tailgate handle yet again with the chrome accents back there. Got the tundra lettering spelled out horizontally. Of course, LED tail lights do come standard. This definitely cool look to them as well. LED center high mount stop lamp as well. You get some satin chrome accents found on that rear bumper down below there. And we do have the tow hitch down there. And of course the connectors right by the license plate there to the left. But as far as max towing capacity for the limited at least, that comes in 11,400 pounds in case you were curious. And just below it all, you guys can see it there. There is a single exhaust outlet tucked away underneath on the driver's side there. So I did what I also mentioned, there is a TRD exhaust available. Doesn't come standard, but it's there for you if you want it. But having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always here is that exhaust clip. It's something else since we are around to the back of the tundra. When it comes to opening that rear tailgate there is a button on the key fob. There's a button on the tailgate itself by my favorite way. There is a hitting button found in the rear driver's side tail light. There's just a rubberized button essentially hidden within the tail light. So if you press that it's gonna automatically open up for you as well. But anyways, once opened up, bed size comes in at five and a half foot bed or six and a half foot bed. You got two different configurations there. Top payload capacity comes in at 1,740 pounds in case you were curious. There is a deck rail system with four adjustable tie down cleats. There's an aluminum reinforced composite bed. I love that because some of the full size trucks of the competition don't give you that reinforced composite bed. Some of them just give you the steel bed. So I don't know. I'm just saying. And there is some integrated cargo lighting available back there as well if you wanted it. But then make your way up to the rear legroom that comes in at 33.3 inches for the double cab. 41.6 inches for the crew cab. That is luxury like for sure. It's a ton of space. For reference, I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. And of course in typical truck fashion there are 60, 40 flip up bench sheets. So if you needed to store some tools or really anything under there, there's actually a good bit of storage underneath of those rear seats. So I was a big fan of that. Rear ventilation does come standard on the crew max configuration. So the one that we have today, I wanted to emphasize that. Rear USB charging ports. There's a USB A and a USB C back there for the rear passengers. Full-volt power outlet is available. And of course there is a rear center armrest with cup holders as well. But then make your way up to the front seats. Soft tech's upholstery coming standard. Eight-way power adjustable front seats with two-way power lumbar as well. And actually memory settings for up to two different drivers. Found just kind of by the driver's side left knee there. But that was pretty cool. Heated and ventilated front seats also coming standard. Overall, as far as seat comfort goes, it was plenty adjustable. The lumbar support was incredibly adjustable as well. So in my short little test drive here I definitely did not have any issues with the seat comfort. But now let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is going to be leather wrapped. That comes standard on the limited. And if you wanted a heated steering wheel it would cost us for $150 if you wanted to go that route. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. All of your buttons, including the Toyota logo are on the one side of the key. Got lock, unlock, and that button to pop from your tailgate there. But it is all keyless entry with a push button start. So all I'm going to do here simply put my front of the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee. And so once started up this is newly standard for the 2024 limited. That is a 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster coming standard. So before the analogue gauges came standard but now you get the digital gauge cluster which is pretty stinking cool. But you do get the time of day up there. There's a digital speedometer. There's your outside temperature as well. You have trip A, trip B of course. I'm going to actually you change the drive modes. It is going to adjust the colors of the gauges up there as well. So you're going to have a lot more red and gray hues with the sport. And then you got some blue hues if you were to go with the Eco for example. So that is pretty cool. It looks like we averaged 14.3 miles per gallon in our short little test drive here today but I'm sure the acceleration test didn't help that number ahead of all. But anyways, let's not go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality. Panoramic roof case for $1,350. We unfortunately don't have that one with us here today. LED interior lighting does come standard. I love that overhead sunglass holder also coming standard. Auto dimming rear view mirror with homely controls to up to three different garage doors coming standard. Love that dual zoom climate control leather wrap shift knob down there. Wireless phone charger is going to be available although it doesn't come standard on the limited unfortunately. Just beside the shifter, you do have a ton of storage there. You got a couple cup holders within the center armrest. There is a massive amount of space in there. You got a couple USB charging ports in there as well. So overall there is a lot of space that can be found within the Tundra. Certainly wouldn't call it a luxury interior but it's definitely got a lot going on in here. But now let's go ahead and take a look at this absolutely massive infotainment screen. It is a 14 inch color touchscreen display. Bluetooth and audio streaming of course coming standard but wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. So a lot of other competition use the wired connectivity still but with Toyota specifically lately they've been all going wireless. So you got to love that new pesky wires up front. Can of course check out your driving statistics up there as well along with your radio information. And so when it comes to the sound systems nine speakers does come standard across the board. However, there is a 12 speaker JBL sound system that goes for only $565. It's honestly not that much for an optional sound system. Usually the name brand sound systems are running a couple thousand dollars if not more. So $565 that's not that bad. We do have that with us here today. So what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio. See what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. Wet man, you're so good so good. All right, there's a lot of bass there quite honestly. The clarity was pretty good as well. That was serious XM. I don't know if that was old country or old rock. I really can't tell the difference anymore. But yeah, that was an old school song. But anyways, last thing I want to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen of course is when you do put the tundra in reverse you'll find a rear view camera coming standard across the board. And believe it or not it does take up the entire screen much as rare these days. Also panoramic view monitor there to the right. You got to love that as well. Giving you that bird's eye view. Letting you know what is completely all around you which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so here's one of the best selling points of the tundra compared to the competition. IIHS top safety pick plus which is the very highest designation given by IIHS. So that pretty much does it all right there. But you know who's not an IIHS top safety pick plus? The F-150, the Silverado. The Ram 1500 they all cannot claim that but the tundra can. So this very well may be the safest full size pickup truck available today. But front side, side curtain airbags do come standard driver and passenger knee airbags as well. In the back you're going to have latch AKA lower anchors to tether to children for the rear car seats. Rear child door locks, temperature monitoring system but also coming standard. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 that gives you a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Dynamic radar cruise control lane departure alert steering assist, lane tracing assist, road sign assist the blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking as well. So overall what it comes to my final thoughts here powerful twin turbo V6 zero to 65.7 that is nothing to be ashamed of. That is dang good honestly. And I do remember driving the V8 tundras before they were fun to drive as well but this twin turbo V6 it is definitely got a ton of power to it but safest full size pickup available. Like I said that's definitely a big selling point for this one. I love the tailgate release button in the rear tail light. I think that's taken cool as well. Absolutely massive infotainment screen I was a big fan of that. And of course you have the Toyota reliability reputation as well. And like I said earlier a lot of people will question the twin turbo V6 but it really comes down to the company making it and Toyota is known for legendary reliability. And part of the reason is because they put so much R and D into their engines before they ever put them out to the public. That's why you can look this up. They tested this engine for years. Years before they even put it in the Lexus LS or the Lexus GX or the Toyota Tundra. So I trust Toyota at this point personally as I think most people do watching this video that's why you're watching it. The reputation speaks for itself of course but anyways let me know what you guys think in the new Tundra in the comment section below. That is about it for this one you guys.
