Great job Nick!
The Tundra is not a consideration for me as its price is too breathtaking and the fuel economy needs to be twice as good as it is.
I wish that vehicles nowadays would focus more on value and utility and less on power and bling --- do we need the massive acceleration and hill climbing ability for everyday use Could we live without frills such as an electronic rear view mirror Could cloth seats be as practical as ventilated and heated seats Could manual roll up windows suffice Could a simpler 4x4 system with old-fashioned locking hubs be substituted Maybe I'm being hypercritical but growing up in the 1960s, many of the features found on the Tundra were either not available or were extra cost even for a Caddie, much less in a pick up.

Nicks a good reviewer so full respect to him
The car itself on the other hand not so much
As I’ve said all over the internet, the tundra is a complete mess. We waited 15 years for a redesign and Toyota would have to do a lot. What we got is we’ve been cheated. Theres nothing it does well vs rivals. Nothing. It was dead on arrival when it was unveiled. The competition will ignore this already ran truck. It came too late yet it’s so far behind the competition.
There’s no point in acknowledging that it even exists

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.

What is the point of this truck's hybrid system if it only gives you two more MPG in the city and one less on the highway compared to the non-hybrid version. All that additional money and weight and loss of under rear seat storage for hardly any additional fuel economy in the city and an actual deficit on the highway. Why would anybody get this truck with the hybrid system Also, I hope you don't have to pay extra for that paint color, it looks like primer that got shot with a layer of clear coat.

It’s a shame about the massive engine recall for Toyota. Hope between Toyota and its parts suppliers and certified mechanics can collectively sort it out quickly. It’s good for the industry overall to have more power train options available to consumers provided the auto parts and repair industry can keep up with sudden changes in the landscape.

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.

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.

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.

Video seemed out of focus when the engine specs were listed (5: 10, jittery camera for the outside shots due to wind, and sometimes interrupted flow of speech. Otherwise good video for the first review: )

Overall the video is in good quality, kudos to Nick!
One feedback though, is that the interior part is a bit shaky. You may consider some stabilizer to hold the camera: )

yall some real Debbie downers in the comment section. Hell, at least they decided to fix the recall instead of playing its normal or ignoring the issue. ( Ford GM )

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

I feel like they are able to make a much more efficient version of this able to reach like 24 plus miles per gallon on road.
