[@tedolsen6251]

I went with the 1794. Magnetic Grey Metallic, saddle tan interior with the AVS air suspension. I really struggled at first between the Platinum and 1794. I like the exterior of the Platinum and interior of the 1794. I felt like I spend my quality time IN my truck not outside of it and that saddle tan is the best imho.

[@SpicyRok7482]

Skip the AVS susp. Its a gimmick, save your $$$.

[@tedolsen6251]

@@SpicyRok7482 Totally disagree. I’ve driven both, with and without AVS and there is a difference. I’ll order it next time too.

[@SpicyRok7482]

Its a $3,300 option that will someday require repairs at a additional cost. There is a definite difference...its a nuance. Continuously variable damping suspensions are a great idea...on racing cars & HIGH-end luxury performance cars. I can recall M-B's whose owners complained of coffee burns inflicted upon them while sitting still at a traffic light, then having 1 corner of their car suddenly drop...VIOLENTLY causing ruined clothing and hot coffee burns.

[@MusicLuv80]

does the AVS air suspension give smoother ride?

[@tedolsen6251]

@@MusicLuv80 Yes, imho. I absolutely love it.

[@jyg4883]

I would choose the TRD PRO, but sadly, it doesn't come with a 6.5 bed. I also hate chrome and prefer black interior so I'll choose the platinum. I might trade my 2021 Ridgeline NART (not a real truck) for a platinum.

[@bornagainmotoring]

I had both - I started with a 2022 midnight black 1794 (Hybrid) and switched up for a windchill pearl platinum (also hybrid). The 1794 was great but I'm not a fan of Chrome like that. The Tan interior on the 1794 was also very nice but I'm not for that Texas luxury style. The interior on the platinum with the metal finishes and the black with blue stitching really did it for me. I will say that the custom floor mats on the 1794 were awesome and I wish the Platinum had something similar.

[@michaellindsay4656]

Saddle brown on the 1794 is great. But I would need to get rid of the chrome. I wish the Sequoia had a 1794 option. I would jump at the chance to get saddle brown interior in the Sequoia.

[@kendallkang8384]

Off road pkg is why I opted for the 1794. I got mine in WCP so chrome actually matches alot more than if I got a darker color. Love it!

[@dorianwilliamson424]

I have a 2023 1794 hybrid with the TRD Off Road package in Army Green. I absolutely love this combination, the TRD package deletes a lot of the chrome and the saddle brown interior against the green is amazing IMO.

[@johnstromain4349]

Love the green with saddle brown also and TDR ..👍🏻

[@SpicyRok7482]

@@johnstromain4349 ARMY GREEN is O.U.T. in '24. Enjoy yours MO'!

[@mikescudder6660]

The platinum by far is the better looking truck that’s why I bought the platinum in super sonic red just like the video! Love the truck !

[@drag1030]

I own a Hybrid Platinum and wow, better than I could ever imagine. I prefer the black interior with blue accent

[@jaysowers5521]

Agree with a lot of the comments…really want a mix of both…

[@joekadamowski5198]

Sadly in Alberta the 1794 isn’t available in the Supersonic Red which would be my choice, obviously then I would have pick the Red Platinum with all the accents blacked out

[@CraigSakach]

I'm gonna go with the Platinum once a few more bills are paid off as I figure the quality issues will be worked out by then.

[@philromito9411]

Got the 2023 limited tundra with Trd package and 4x4

[@scottrichardson7906]

I wish Platinum came with off road package, that would be the one!

[@Finefinishcabinetry]

It’s coming in 2024 for the platinum and you can add the 3” trd lift kit.

[@9663mu]

Fantastic side by side comparison mate. Personally do love the color matched bumpers on a truck.

[@TRDJon]

Agreed!

[@Krowicki]

gotta love the peasant blockers

[@1JeffJames]

Toyota dealer here where i live has a 2wd platinum.

[@TRDJon]

Nice!

[@OldLineAngling]

I would definitely go with the platinum…mostly because I just got one two days ago 😂

[@JackWKline]

DEFINITELY PLATINUM

[@watchryangame]

Are the headlights on these adaptive? Meaning they adjust to the steering wheel position as you turn slightly?

[@alexhanson4101]

No, and there's no need for it. The headlights cast such a wide view that having them move side to side while turning is pointless.

[@josephlewis9918]

I will choose the platinum because it's the cheaper version of the 1794 with a more affordable prices

[@TRDJon]

Aren't they super close in price?

[@taylormade710]

My 1974 TRD 2023 has locker rear differential, is that only come with the trd option?

[@gem94130]

1794 come with the 32 gallon tank or 22 gallon?

32

[@peterbanhan2432]

Platinum, chrome is just outdated

[@Playback007able]

can have it… pickups that try to be family autos and utility pick ups - - fail… payloads and box sizes woeful. you want a pure ICE engine in these? get one soon. Toyota entire fleet of pure ICE powered autos are going away by 2025. Toyota Kinectic Assist - - iForce Max’s w/turbos and nickel metal hydride hybrid assisted power trains will be the only Toyota ICE’es available. Toyota realizes EV in the Tesla Lithium ion model are not they way moving towards greener auto tech. Toyota will move into mild’ hybrid’s, not so much plugin hybrids, sandwiched between turbo, aspirated gasoline engines and transmissions to meet EPA requirements, instead. Toyota full well knows EV are a decade or two, perhaps three, off from being viable. The industry needs to figure out how to put EV fires out, at the very least, first, and the charging grid is decades out from being a realty, less the Federal Gubberment spends a sum equal to the Apollo moon program to get it built out. Don’t get started on rare earth elements all refined in China or the raw ore for the cobalt being rough prepped by small children in The Congo, or the carbon footprint of EV contrasted to ICE autos as measured per mile traveled be for greater with EV’s… what a World…what a mandated crock of cockamamie BS…

[@Swindy1794]

Both have the garbage JBL sound system 😂

[@losthighway4840]

1794 outdated at release

[@bobf.]

I went with the 2024 Wind Chill Pearl Platinum.

[@StPaddy81]

Got a ‘23 MGM Platinum 12 days ago. Absolutely love the interior and exterior of the truck. It hit literally every button for me

[@dannybarker442]

I love the Platinum and 1794 but 1794 became available to me first in April 2022 so I purchased 1794. I have been very pleased with my 1794 truck. I have close to 10,000 miles on it with no issues so far other than a couple of recall notices that were quickly taken care of by the Toyota dealer. You can't go wrong with either trim level.

[@fredsickert6268]

I bought the platinum and love it

[@TRDJon]

Congratulations!

[@Gamabunta16757]

I watched the video twice trying to get WHICH ONE Toyota doesn't want you to know. Still didn't get it. All I got was the description which I can also get from any other video here on yt.

[@hmong_keeb_kwm]

Which one would I buy you say ill say none for now. I'm not going to put myself into this financial situation I have a house mortgage I have to pay. Maybe 16 years from now I'll pick one up for 10k but until then I'll stick with my 11k first Gen Tundra that I bought to beat on. Price are ridiculous and vehicles are a depreciate value thing. My house on the other hand if I do sell it I'll make easy 60k profit right now in this crazy market we live in and maybe then I can use that to cash for this new Tundra hummm. Nope can't do it....

[@jameslankford9834]

I like styling of the Platinum trim. The black chrome looks better in my opinion.

[@SpicyRok7482]

I am weary of black leather. I have been in a flawless '13 F-150 Platinum for 10years now...black dash w/brushed ( actual metal, NOT painted plastic ) aluminum trim, dark plastiWOOD & black headliner.

[@christophergodschalk3627]

I would want a 1794 in mesquite brown with the accents/color matching from the platinum. Really like the 1794 interior.

[@PureBlood777]

Platinum tundra for me. Too much chrome on the other one

[@conradmills9192]

I just got the white 1794 6.5 bed sweet truck

[@tommyg7047]

I wonder if Toyota decided to leave off the TRD Off-road package on the Platinum because it would then overshadow the TRD Pro. Nicer interior, black headliner, body color mirrors and handles, no chrome. All it’s missing is a proper coilover lift and 35’s.

[@pyramus7958]

Went with a silver platinum I didn't like the 1794 chrome and tan interior.

[@TRDJon]

Nice. Congratulations!

[@ClarenceDempsey]

I have the 2022 Platinum Silver 4 WD and black interior. I love my truck and I get a lot of comments.

[@alexp1tx]

Man you guys must be millionaires, can you help me out and fund me a truck. I’ll settle with a base 4x4.

[@TRDJon]

Nope. But I'll support hard work ethic and support you on your journey!

[@captainjack1121]

Exterior of the platinum with the interior of the 1794. I just don't like black interiors.

[@vee6411]

Both are dogshit, interior feels plasticky and cheap. Toyota needs to step it up

[@edsmith3212]

Well for me brother I’ve been driving a 1794 all the way up to this moment right now I got a 2023 Toyota Tundra 1794. That’s all I will ever drive the capstone not impressed by it it’s the same thing as the it’s the same thing at the 1794 so I stick with this one

[@android-ud2nf]

To bad you can’t have a 1794 interior with a trd pro in exterior and suspension

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

The 1794’s interior and TRD Off Road package with the Platinum exterior. I love the more Cowboy 🤠 western theme interior vs another sea of black on black (although I do appreciate the blue stitching 🧵) interior. Plus I absolutely hate standard shiny chrome bumpers etc… That would be the best combo out there.

[@SpicyRok7482]

I'm sorry but I don't see enuf "cowboy" influenced styling to get up about. I live in Texas, HOME of the Dallas ( Arlington ) COWBOYS. Their colors are Blue & Silver. To tell you the truth, there are few cowboys around much unless there is a rodeo, or a horse show, or the Texas State Fair/Ft Worth Livestock Show & Rodeo going on, so don't fret none. I do like the new Saddle Tan... LESS ORANGY that the 2014 1794. That stitching and taupe accent strips do not mean "cowboy" to me. The wood either. But it looks sharp to me.

[@frankosauto]

The 1794 in white is what I ordered!

[@coreymount3517]

I got the 1794 in smoked mesquite, I was originally waiting for a platinum in blueprint. I'm glad I got what I got. It's been a great truck so far!

[@TRDJon]

Very nice! Congrats!

[@jamesschaefer7916]

Likewise, I have the 1794 in mesquite with saddle brown interior. I've had it a little over a month and love it!

[@philipkolatis3611]

Same here I also have the same color in saddle brown interior love it going to try to de chrome where I can

[@chrismarbrey9678]

That's a tough one, man. I do you like the color matching on the platinum, but I think I would pick a 1794 for the simple reason that it's available with the TRD off-road package

[@KeystoneTexan]

That’s my reasoning also

[@CIASPY]

Dosen't matter either buy inventory available cheaper or build your own truck costly

[@JSLTRD]

I have a silver 1794 with TRD package and saddle brown interior. No regrets - love it! Both are nice but I think the TRD package adds a lot to the truck.

[@rizzi143]

i have the exact same platinum red and its a head turner.

[@lordnaarghul]

I've said several times that the Platinum 2022+ Tundra is exactly what the Batmobile would be if it were a truck, driven by the Kevin Conroy Batman (RIP). I would want that, except in the summer that interior would be unbearably hot here. So I'd stick with the 1794; I would otherwise need something with a bit of off road capability anyways because I live on a dirt road in the rocky hills.

[@texasitalian84]

I’m pissed they didn’t add the TRD package to the platinum

[@ervinjackson3261]

I’ll take the platinum if it don’t cost too much lol😊

[@kevinterry9619]

Gotta go with that Platinum. The accent color being back really makes it look good.

[@MacDaddyC7Z06]

Much rather have the Platinum. Chrome is ugly imo

[@OldmanSnake]

1794 in black with saddle tan leather😊

[@chewar7537]

I love the 1794, but all that chrome to keep clean is a huge no thanks! Blacked out looks so much better, I will go with the Platinum!! I think I could get tired of the weird saddle brown color in the 1794 too after a while, it is nice, but a weird shade of brown. And the floor mats, nope...just weird looking. I would never get a hybrid or EV either.

[@RoivonPC]

Platinum all day.

[@shameerkhan6118]

If I was going with one I would go 1794 but platuim full black yes sirr bas ass

[@floppypancake2439]

1794 all day

[@peterstack1407]

Platinum has a deposit for allocation still waiting. Reason for me over 1794. Is platinum styling inside and out

[@TRDJon]

Nice! Good call!

[@rafaeldiazus]

Had the 2005 when it first came out. Currently have 2018 TRD (new) with crawl. Out of these 2 prefer the 1794 saddle brown interior. Outside of these, Hybrid is my final choice. Thanks for the overview..

[@nitroholik35]

Just bought a 23' Limited. Should've gotten a Platinum 😭

[@garychamberlain8462]

I have a 2023 wind chill pearl, cream interior 1794, very happy with it even though it took over 18 months to get it. I had 3 5.7s, good engines but the new twin turbo is far superior, just love it.

[@ronalds9092]

Platinum does come in TRD offroad package. If your showing knowledge and passing info I would be accurate. I looked at a snowcapped pearl white Platinum TRD offroad, and a Platinum in army green TRD offroad.

[@tundraguy2011]

Jon, thanks to your videos and insight, I’m about to place my order finally and I’m going with the Platinum Supersonic Red with the TRD Off Road package and I’m stoked!! At first I was wanting a TRD pro but I hated the tech camo everywhere plus they don’t offer it in any colors I’d like and I saw your video suggesting getting a Platinum with the TRD OR package and it made total sense! I love the interior of the Platinum . Thanks for your insight to help us decide. It’s greatly appreciated.

[@TRDJon]

Heck ya!!! I'm glad it they helped! Enjoy your truck.

[@edsmith3212]

It breaks my heart TOYOTA you broke my heart. You made a beautiful 1794 right now I have 2023 1794. I bought that one. Here’s the problem I have they didn’t give me no chrome wheels that breaks my heart 2025. I’m going to get rid of it And I got my eyes on this capstone. I love those wheels but still no chrome and you know what I don’t like about the capstone. It’s all wrong. Should’ve been like the 794 capstone has no chrome in the front Toyota you gotta make this right give you a lot of money, you gotta make me happy you gotta put chrome it doesn’t like the chrome but on the other hand the reason why I bought 1794 because of the chrome wheel now I bought the 2023 no chrome I love the radio great job but you gotta give me my Chrome back please I’ll be looking forward to it😱😱😱😱🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@The5nowman]

I'm torn between a 1974 (with TRD Offroad package and factory lift) or the TRD Pro personally..... TRD Pro looks appeal to me more but I also want that interior ambient lighting! I cant decide.

[@danielphilbrook1035]

Not that I could afford it but id go platinum for sure. Less chrome and I like dark interior.

[@TRDJon]

Great choice!

I have a 24 1794 trd package in lunar rock coming. Going to build it better than a pro with more options

[@SadisticFusion]

Got the 2023 Tundra limited with the i force Max in mesquite brown. I absolutely love it. I did want a platinum sooo bad but was out of my price range unfortunately. The limited is still great with good options, and may appeal to more people on a stricter budget like myself.

[@jeremycook9852]

Until Toyota starts to offer the TRD off-road package on the Platinum model then it’s a non starter for me and many others I would guess.

[@wpd7]

Because they are idiots

[@markf8256]

The 1794 in this video is my truck, except that mine has the 6.5’ bed and the “cream” leather seating and trim. I would have preferred the saddle color, but a year ago I was lucky to even find the one I got for close to MSRP thanks to a customer that backed out of a deal on the last day of June (sales number crunch). The cream leather has held up well over the first year and nearly 15,000 miles. No discoloration, jean color transfer, etc. The seats have been durable and comfortable which was one the reasons I chose this trim, along with the load leveling suspension. This suspension has made our ~8,000 lb trailer towing very manageable.

Definately the 1794 for me , llike chrome .

[@seannapoli4204]

Definitely the platinum.

[@DaveJohnson-j9g]

I went with the 1794 Hybrid TRD. Has less chrome. Easier to black out the chrome than change the interior. 1794 interiors are nicer IMO. floor mats get dirty quick. WeatherTech is nicer than the Toyota factory liner. Added an automatic rear step. Great truck so far!

[@MusicLuv80]

If you get TRD on this 1974 do they change the suspension too? If so, that mean no air suspension?

[@andrewquintero7590]

Don't be fooled, the rear chrome bumper is plastic. There is a lot of plastic around the truck.
