I am looking forward to their reviews and videos

Waiting to see towing review and trans temps and performance in general

 

Should be a good series, love TFL, especially Andre.

 

WTH is that ugly chrome fu manchu on there for?

 

That’s the one somewhat major problem I have with this truck. I find myself choosing between trim levels to minimize the Hulk Hogan ‘stache, not because I care about features.

 

Yep, I'd like to see how it compares going up Ike gauntlet. Wonder how long it will be before they do that.

 

Did they ever put tow hooks on the front?

 

Once you see it you can't ignore it SR5 with TRD Sport, TRD Pro, Platinum..... Too bad the grill surround color isn't an option.

 

according to Doug DeMuro, no. the TRD Pro he reviewed did not have hooks.

 

Aftermarket parts will take care of that, the people that want it and use it will install it. Unless it’s impossible to install without having to do modification??? now that is of concern….

 

truck grille made for radio.. fugg

They did a towing review on the the truck

 

Have any of the Pros that have been used been production level, though?

 

IRRC Toyota said the tow hook deletion was a fuel economy measure...?

 

hope they do it this weekend LOL

 

57k for a limited, is that MSRP?

 

He posted a second video that gives brief driving impressions and the gas mileage after about 300 highway miles. Roughly 18 MPG at reported 75 MPH. He does say he expects mileage to improve as the engine is broken in....but still....kind of disappointing.

I drove my 2019 on vacation 18 months ago. Roughly 2000 miles of highway driving and consistently averaged 17 MPG at 70 - 80 MPH.

 

Do you really get much better mileage after break in? I think I got 16-17 driving my truck home from the dealership 3 hours away and it never got any better.

 

5.7s get pretty good mpg if you ask me. Just gotta keep your foot out of it lol.

 

I like the wheels.

 

My thoughts exactly, just a bit better that my stock 2021, 5.7 L ( unladen in flat highways)

 

It shows 1400 lbs payload on the door sticker. It’ll be interesting to see how this compares to the same model with the hybrid option.

 

Or a standard sr5

 

I believe I’ll be rocking a giant chrome hogan ‘stache in the SR TRD OR

 

Re: Missing Tow Hooks
My understanding is that the active front air dam comes down at speed for fuel economy - the tow hooks would interfere with it and the reason they are not there.

 

So is this the guy everyone can blame for the $20K markup I keep seeing people posting about?

 

Seems like they could've designed them so they came out of the bumper like gm does

 

That surprises me as the economy is not stellar compared to other trucks that have them.

Will be interesting to see what tfl does with it though.
