I have my 2024 TRD Pro Terra for about five days. Absolutely loving it.

[@scottie8984]

3 months and counting. Love this truck

[@HBManPon]

Great channel. You actually talked me into getting out of my Tacoma and I am now the owner of a 2021 Mag Grey Limited nightshade. I am extremely glad I went with the v8 over the v6!

[@TundraDude34]

Congrats! I love those 21 nightshades

[@user-fp9rv2bn6f]

Beautiful color, the exterior and the interior color rocks, and the excitement ends right after we hear $74,000.

[@MichaelRichards983]

That's what things cost, get used to it.

[@user-fp9rv2bn6f]

@@MichaelRichards983 And that is why things get pricier because of people like you that get used to the higher prices and allowing corporate a**h***s take advantage of us. How many earnings' calls have you listen to lately and see how arrogant those CEOs are. I came to this country 20 years ago. This year is the first year I am hearing young Americans that want to leave the U.S., the Greatest Country in the World. I am not talking about old, reach Americans that want to live like a kings in Costa Rica, I am talking about young people. Yah, get used to it too. Now, if you had a bought a $74,000 truck with 5.5% APR, your payment would have been like a second mortgage. Get used to it. 12 months ago my insurance premiums for 6 months was $479.99 , 6 months later, is $746.99, and they are going to raise it up again 30% - 40%. Get used to it ha. In 2008 my annual tuition cost here in the U.S. was $4.800, for a third tier public university. Now, my son's tuition cost is $31,000+ per year for a school that is even ranked below the one I attended. Get it used to it. The only way these thieves will stop stealing our hard earned money is if we DON"T GET USED TO IT, engrave that in your head, and instead of telling people get used to it, open your eyes and think before something comes out of your mouth. I can go on on, it helps me with my mental illness. For example, how many young adults can buy a house now, ha? Get used to it. miserable Thank you very much for your senseless advice. Get used to it, ha!

[@hardmtnbiker]

One thing I really enjoy about your reviews is your honesty about each model and the value for the money.

[@tombstone.lawman3722]

Hey Mark, appreciate the content and especially featuring this truck and color. I just landed a Terra TRD Pro last week at a great deal in VA. Dealer had it almost 120 days and I got OTD under MSRP. After looking for 3+ months I am very pleased upgrading from my 2018 Tacoma TRD OR.

[@matthollis1270]

That’s incredible they had it that long.

[@tombstone.lawman3722]

@@matthollis1270 Agree, especially since it was advertised at MSRP for last 60 days and most other dealers in area still have $2K-$7K markups on the Pros. Go figure.

[@jcc9925]

Great job negotiating. I'm seeing people still paying MSRP or even over. Those days are gone. You should be aiming for $4k - $7K under MSRP on the non pros right now.

[@jamesvitale3325]

I’ll keep my 2018 tundra Trd off-road with a 5.7. I love it my mechanic told me never get rid of it. I will regret it

[@mattseverance8176]

Same here. I paid $38,000 for my tundra crewmax with TRD Off Road package New. Never selling it. It only has 52k miles on it too.

[@jamesvitale3325]

@@mattseverance8176 my dealer must have someone that wants one really bad because they keep on offer me an astronomical price for mine and I tell them no it’s not for sale. I am very anal with my vehicles. It’s like new it has 59.000 miles on it

[@samualwashington4207]

After months of looking, I recently picked up my 2024 Tundra TRDPro (black/black) with no markup. I drove it back from Michigan in a blizzard! The only thing I wish I could change is the bed length, I’d love to have the option >5.5 ft. Other than that it’s a very solid truck, no squeaky plastic or parts rattling on the interior. The “pumped-in” engine growl is nice and aggressive.

[@woodduck614]

Just overall love the stance and look of the pro,it sets up just the right height,again just looks great,my future truck when the time comes!

Thank you sir!

The black headliner Really looks well with the rest of interior...and im Really digging the black backdrop on the big 14 inch screen!

[@AtTheHelmOutdoors]

This is hands down the best toyota related channel on KZbin. I get that prices go up every year, but imo its getting insane. Spend $74k on a truck and drive it a few years and the mileage approaches 100k, whats the value on these things then with twin turbos and no factory warranty?

[@OfficialAing]

The more i see these….the more I see myself in one! Will probably end up with one closer to the last model year of these 👍

[@StripedTurkey]

I purchased the same truck, same color the last week of December without the tow mirrors for under MSRP. The only options were predator steps, spray in liner and the bed step. For me it was perfect the way I purchased it. I only have 2,000 miles on it but so far it’s been perfect, no sound issues, no build quality issues,🤞🏻 it stays that way. At first I thought the fed in sound was ridiculous but it’s grown on me and honestly I don’t even notice it anymore.

[@ai67869]

How did you purchase the truck for if you don’t mind me asking

[@stanburman9978]

Great video about the TRD Pro. Thank you. When you do the walk-around video of the TRD Pro perhaps you could talk about some of the serious off-road features that might differentiate it from the 1794 and Platinum that have TRD Offroad packages on them. Many thanks!

[@TundraDude34]

Its really the fox suspension, trd pro skid plate, falken wildpeak tire, bbs forged wheel, trd front sway bar

[@stanburman9978]

Thank you!@@TundraDude34

[@DeLaVangFTK]

Bought my 2023 pro in magnetic gray metallic last year and loving it. Can't get tired of driving it...however the only one and single thing I don't like about it is the turning radius.

[@telemarktumalo6978]

Every special edition color for the TRD Pro is just killer!

[@joshpowell8285]

The inside is tighter. I’m a big dude and had no issue in the last gen but got to drive a 23 SR5 as a rental and can definitely tell. It’s not a make or break but it is a little tighter

[@user-cp1te3sf7w]

Hi Mark. You do a fantastic job representing the Toyota Tundra. Great Video. I picked up this exact truck in October and I absolutely love it ! I had a 37 package Ford raptor previously and I can tell you this truck handles better and is faster than the raptor 37 package. I put Toyo 35’s on it. Just curious Mark If it was your money would you purchase this truck or the 1794 limited edition when it comes out ?

[@TundraDude34]

I am a sucker for the 1794, so probably that

[@user-cp1te3sf7w]

@@TundraDude34 thank you.

[@kentryadams7478]

This is the exact truck I have minus the tow mirrors and I love it! I really like the unique color and I was able to get it in September 2023 2k under MSRP. My only complaint about my truck is the turning radius. I don’t understand how they can’t incorporate technology that gives a better turning radius.

[@TundraDude34]

The pro turning radius is rough. Its not bad on my SR5

[@jcc9925]

Why is it more on the Pro? I had the SR5 with TRD Offroad and it turned as well as my Honda at intersections

[@DanielMann-gq8fi]

I’m so close to ordering that exact truck

[@jon-michaelnardiello7074]

Great video. Extremely insightful. Quick question, - in your opinion, which has more POWER &/or SPEED?: your Magnuson supercharged platinum 2018 OR this new gen bad boy?? Any insight on this would be magnificent. Thanks

[@TundraDude34]

Tough question, but ill do my best. The supercharger platinum just felt like raw power. It was loud and just pulled. Very aggressively. The iforce max is just as, if not more powerful, but in a quiet, linear kind of way. Next thing you know, you are flying

[@jon-michaelnardiello7074]

Interesting.. much appreciated for your feeback on this! I love your content. Tundras Rule. I currently own a 2016 TRD Pro crewmax as my daily driver, coming up on 130k miles. I have my sights on the NEW Magnum TVS2650 Supercharger & have a very reliable shop to do the work and tune. Lastly & most importantly, is this too much mileage to s/c? Any supporting mods that are a must? (I already know you recommend & love it) Both truck & engine are excellent condition. I tow (around 3000-5000 lbs) 25% of the time. Any response would be bad ass & insightful!!@@TundraDude34 Perhaps this comment would help other folks on their decision to supercharge their 2010-2018 gen 2 Tundy!

[@wfthrock]

The Terra is my favorite color ever made by Toyota!

[@tombstone.lawman3722]

Was driving my Terra Pro Tundra in VA and got a headlight flash from a Sequoia Pro in Terra! Was very cool.

[@peterdanese3823]

Love the Terra color. If money was no object I’d get the TRD Pro in that color or Ice Cap. I’ll stick with my SR5 TRD Off Road. That was expensive enough.

[@mikehughes8023]

Sticking with my 2020 TRD Pro but this truck is 🔥🔥! And it gaps a Mustang at the 7:18 mark😎

[@crunchyblack2224]

Great truck and I sold my 2023 solar octane prior to being stationed overseas. Only a few issues; no tow hooks from factory of an off road themed truck, turning radius is mediocre at best, and no option of a longer bed.

[@TundraDude34]

Thank you for your service to our country 🇺🇸

[@roadglide1142]

Show me one with a Million Miles on original engine & turbos and I’ll be a believer! Until then my proven 2021 Tundra 5.7 Platinum will suffice just fine . 😊

[@keevmulqois2484]

Thanks Mark! Deciding between this and Platinum. Does the TRD exhaust drone at all? What would you choose…TRD Pro or Platinum?

[@TundraDude34]

No drone. It has a little purr to it but you will hear the JBL fed in engine noise anyway! For me, if the Platinum was set up to my liking, that would be my choice

[@harrellellison9243]

Amazing color, love the Tow mirrors, i Tow. Black headliner 👍

[@TundraDude34]

I know it sounds stupid, but the black headliner brings the interior look to a new level

It's so beautiful.

[@khadijokwabena9737]

I love that color.

Color looks good on that truck

[@chipcabaniss623]

Still happy with my 56,000 Army Green Pro!

[@OBLIGATEDbiscut1]

I bought mine the same month it was manufactured with 3 miles on the dash, I did pay around $6k over msrp but whatever

[@montebeerbower7796]

Waiting on the tacoma pro because I don't need full size ans just like easier driving on City but I think I'd like the tundra with v6 hybrid. How is turning radius

[@jcc9925]

Someone posted above that the Tundra TRDPRO had a bad turning radius. Btw, I've been thinking about the 24 taco pro as well but it's gonna be $60K, more with the initial markup, so I'm most likely getting the Tundra again but as a limited trd offroad for about $56k.

[@GaryRebok-jm2bt]

If money was no object, I’d have one in my garage

[@zman7200]

Nice truck. Tundradude34 do you ever use Four wheel drive?

[@TundraDude34]

Certainly. In my opinion, The new gen engages and disengages 4wd seamlessly.

[@robertsahli9998]

Beautiful truck! My concern like others is engine reliability? I have 2012 tundra with 5.7 engine! I have had a prior 2009 tundra. I’m questioning whether I need to wait and see what happens with the new iforce max! I have read turbo forums and car care forums on how the engine shuts off the electric motor in cold? Your thoughts?

[@TundraDude34]

I think as the years go on with this generation, all the bugs will be worked out, and we will see the reliability be there. Could be just me, but one thing i noticed while driving this one around, it seemed like it didn’t go to battery as often as my 2022 did.

[@jcc9925]

Well, there were probably people back in 2009-13 who complained the the 5.7 wouldn't be as reliable as the 4.6 and that worrisome thoughts went nowhere. Toyota took 15 years to get the 3rd gen right and they won't be left embarrassed. The whole Turbo thing is a red herring the Big 3 probably all conjured up. I had my 22 for a year and had no problems at all.

[@stevieray1828]

This engine is probably very reliable, but needs proper maintenance. Also full warm up before putting the pedal to the floor

[@adamk1466]

It’s great, but as you said the unicorn is definitely the TRD Platinum.

[@AlexGarcia-vf3so]

Nice drive by.

[@Basilisk2077]

I’d kill for one of these babies but I’ve been looking at 2020 pros. They’re kinda getting affordable with lower mileage.

[@TundraDude34]

I had a 2020 pro, excellent truck

[@NotYoCheese714]

Can you do a video of how it is driving into drive thrus with this new gen compared to old gen?

[@jcc9925]

I had the new Gen and I've never driven thru drive-thrus with a truck but it was pretty easy in more cases. If you're really worried about it get the PVM Mirror package and you can track all the wheels and under the truck with the on board cameras. I know the 2nd gens were much more difficult in those tight spaces.

[@diytacoma5758]

Man that is nice

[@jimchen4755]

Nice TRD pro to own. I Guinness you should switch back to TRD pro

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Mark is the Terra color flat or metallic? Looks good!

[@TundraDude34]

Flat look to it, like the other special colors

[@tombstone.lawman3722]

It's a flat or non-metallic paint, like Cement and Lunar Rock.

[@brianstrelick6098]

What’s more comfortable the TRD Pro or the Capstone with Avs suspension?

[@kentryadams7478]

My dad has the capstone and I have the 2024 TRD pro in Terra. My dad’s truck has a better road drive. The seats are also more comfortable with the semi aniline leather. I wouldn’t say it’s a dramatic difference, especially if you don’t like the look of all of the chrome on the capstone and the larger rims.

[@TundraDude34]

Excellent comparison. I agree

[@canadiandream12]

Finally a pro that doesn’t have so much red in the interior.

[@C.Lopez-SWFL-Off-Road-Trucks]

Nice tundra 🔥🔥

[@runningman26.22]

Did not like the ride in my 2020 TRD Pro. Looked at these, but still not the best ride - much happier in the new Platinum. I put on a lot of road miles as opposed to off roading. Also opted for the gas version which has plenty of power and the extra storage under the rear seat. Overall, really surprised at how much I like the 2024. Still too expensive, but at least I feel like the Toyota quality is coming back to the Tundra. Most irritating issues for me are still too much road noise (needs better sound insulation) and the JBL sound system is still very weak. In this price range I would expect a top notch sound system. Trying to resist the urge to take the interior out and reinsulate the whole thing. It really improves the sound quality of the JBL system…

[@theofficialpeterkim]

How’s the ride versus your old trd pro?

[@TundraDude34]

This one is very smooth and feels lighter. Zero body roll

[@JWL427]

Much to like but so many misses. Did you know we can get a 2024 lexus gx overtrail for 5000 less than the trd pro? Its built in Japan, Lexus amenities, probably more offroad capable.

[@johnlegresley4353]

I have to take issue w the "fake" noise. I actually ordered a TRD Pro two years ago, which actually arrived last week. We walked away from the deal as the sound was soooo intrusive. Even while being ginger on the pedal, I could not get rid of that horrendous noise. The other problem is that the dealer was adamant that the sound is NOT fake, and nothing can be done. Can you verify a dealer that can and does shut this noise down, and I will get them in contact w my dealer. My order is still sitting in their lot. Thank you...

[@jonathanb4929]

The sound is definitely fake. I had my dealership turn off the sound before I picked up my 24 Platinum. You can also purchase the Carista and turn it off yourself. Carista has a trial period that you can customize your truck and then cancel the membership. Every option that you modified will stay active. Lynch Toyota out of Manchester, Connecticut was the dealership.

[@johnlegresley4353]
