2024 TOYOTA TUNDRA HYBRID PLATINUM CREWMAX 4X4

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Tundra Hybrid Platinum CrewMax is presented as a capable full-size truck with a powerful twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain delivering 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer highlights several positive aspects, including the well-executed camera system with multiple views, the smooth power delivery on the highway, and the quiet cabin with minimal road noise. However, significant criticisms are raised regarding its driving dynamics, which are described as feeling like a "big barge" with poor maneuverability, a bouncy and tipsy ride over bumps, and a general sense of the truck struggling with its own weight, especially at low RPMs. The reviewer also notes discomfort with the seat, issues with the wireless charger's reliability, and a perceived lack of value proposition when compared to competitors like the F-150 Hybrid and Ram 1500, which are described as more enjoyable to drive and offering more useful features for a similar price. The payload capacity is also noted as a limitation, diminishing usability for a full crew and cargo.
