Chevy Silverado Trail Boss vs Toyota Tundra TRD Pro: Which $55,000 Truck Is Quickest & BEST Off-Road

[@josephsteyne366]

The fact that Tundra did better than the NEW Trail Boss says a lot about Toyota’s engineering. Tundra gets looked down by most people but Tundra owners know that there is something special about that truck. I have a 2009 Tundra with 237,000 miles on it. I pull a 16ft enclosed double axle trailer loaded with landscape equipment (7,000 lb) pretty much everyday. Solid as a rock.

[@wade7959]

Tommy stops to rev the engine in the Tundra: "This is important consumer work." Me: "Hell ya, it is." I love the sound of that engine.

[@latinbeandip]

[@mschmitt661]

I traded in my 2014 Tundra CrewMax SR5 in March for a 2020 Trail Boss 5.3L. I loved the Trail Boss for its features and fuel economy, but it started having issues requiring service at nine months and 4700 miles. It actually died a few days after the first service, throwing up several warning with a check engine light and refusing to start. While my wife contacted the auto club, I kept trying to start it, because I KNEW the codes if was throwing up (such as Battery Low, Brake System Failure, etc.) were just wrong. I got it started before a tow was requested, so we drove to the dealer immediately. After a mysterious software update (unavailable during first service) and bleeding of the brakes, I sold it to a dealer. I used my equity from the sale (Tundra trade-in was very good) to buy a 2021 Tundra Double Cab. I know Andre's Trail Boss has been reliable for him, but mine started having problems no truck should have in the first year of ownership with less that 5,000 miles should have, especially since it was only used around town. I loved the look of the Trail Boss, but the lack of reliability ruined the experience for me. Toyota for life.

[@Liberator29]

I come from the future to warn you Toyota is in trouble now

[@bigblzr9421]

The smoothness comes down to the driver!! Brake and a little gas at the same time go a long way. You should do it all over again and switch drivers just like your drag racing.

[@brettnelson9802]

Yes the drivers drove them totally differently. Tommy was breaking and gasing at the same time and Andre was just hitting the gas. TFL hates the rear locker and always wants to magnify the issue. If you know how to drive off road it’s never a problem and works very well. I have a 19 trail boss with 30,000 miles on it and I have spent a lot of time off road and it performs extremely well. Absolutely would buy another one and feel it’s the best value for the money.

Tundra is a far superior vehicle, even after 13 years without a full refresh. There's also a reason why the tundra has probably only lost 2% of its value, and the trail boss is already worth 50% less.

[@1jpranger]

My Tundra gets anywhere from 15 to 17 mpg depending on how much I put my foot into it but I will gladly trade a few MPG's for the reliability I get with it. I know folks with Ecoboost F150's that don't do any better, they for sure have more power but Turbo's aren't cheap when they go. The GM trucks are definitely the most fuel efficient and my father's 2014 silverado averages 17 to 18 and he paw paw's it around, he will eventually run into problems with the AFM and when that happens it will not be cheap, I am glad to have that peace of mind.

@@C10sRule wierd, the two million mile tundras were loaded and towed over their rated capacity, one lost reverse at 760,000 miles and they just fixed the reverse, didnt even rebuild the transmission. The other had a flutter in third gear at 780,000 miles, all it needed was a filter change but the owner went ahead and rebuilt it. Those Aisin transmissions are very stout. I'm willing to bet you had a blockage in the transmission cooler. We had a jeep with a bad transmission and we replaced it. Couple weeks later it came back, I checked the lines with the shop air and it was completely blocked. Replaced the radiator and rebuilt the trans and it was fine after that. None of my dads 2013 tundras have had any issues.

Let say if I owned both truck and in 10 years from now if I drive both of them equally with same mileage, which will I have less issue with it after the 10 years this means that I will spend less money fixing it and which one is still running good?

[@lawdawg_7983]

Ha ha ha.. i love that Tundra!

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

Toyota Tundra most reliable trucks ever.

[@davidchavez3516]

I think people underestimate the grip of those ltx tires on the TRD

[@wade7959]

Agreed. I've had them on a few vehicles. They are WAY more grippy than the tread pattern suggests. Excellent in snow, as well.

@@thehayman7352 I have a 1996 s10 and I put micheline on it every 6 years. Tires are worth more than my truck but damn they are the best .

The traction control is not off if a-lsd is enabled. You have to hold it for 5 seconds while stopped. And then hold it for another 5 seconds. It is off when it says traction control disabled.

[@ajmedeiros77]

Man that flex in the tundra is impressive! And it’s a dual overhead cam engine it is not ancient. And it’s better than that government motors direct injected crazy cylinder deactivation Bs.

I think the driver had everything to do with which truck won. In my opinion, Tommy is the best driver in these offroad scenarios.

[@aujerbear]

Tundra seemed much smoother off road

[@idontcaresapo8233]

It has better suspension by far.. those ranchos on the Chevy are bad man... if I ever get a Chevy I change those the same day

I just bought a 2022 AT4 6.2. Boy, just tap'n the gas and it's off like a rocket. That engine is a fast SOB.

[@johndeotte3229]

I added a Pop and Lock device on my Tundra’s tailgate so I can now lock the bed with the remote. It was inexpensive and should come with it equipped from the factory.

[@vorant77]

It's a $300+ dealer-installed option...

I owned a 2005 Toyota Tundra purchased new from dealer. One year I took it to Glamis CA and I took it up Oldsmobile Hill bone stock, then I said what the hell let’s try going up it in reverse. It made it all the way up in reverse. No one believed me when I told them it was bone stock. I had to pop the hood and show them. Best 1/2 ton 4x4 in my opinion.

[@DariusJones05]

as a guy who's own multiple trucks i love the tundra (sold mine at 190k) but love my 18 silverado a bit more. From experience if you take care of your vehicle almost any truck can last 200-300k miles. I do miss the 4.30 gears but upgrading my silverado to either 4.10 or 4.56 so no big deal. Not to mention I bought my truck NEW for $30k (late year model in 2019). I will say that NONE of the half ton "offroaders" are worth it to me tho. Spent 4k on the suspension and tires and still under the cost of both of these new.

[@NawMan357]

If its someone else's money... Chevy, Ford, Ram no problem! If it's my hard earned money, then it's Tundra all the way!

Man that Tundra sounds awesome. I had a 2012 Tundra but no TRD exhaust. I have a 2018 Silverado now and love it. Both are great trucks. Hats off to the Tundra though, still competing with an ancient platform.

My 2015 Tundra gets to 60 in 8 seconds exactly. I live in Denver and only a few miles from IMI Motorsports, where they are racing. I have used GPS timers to verify my times. I set my truck to 4 Hi, Tow Mode and Manual mode.

[@nolanwillis4148]

the tundra tailgate locking issue is incorrect. I own a 2020 Tundra and mine locks and unlocks with the keyfob.

[@JamesHansonPortOrchard]

The thing with the Trail Boss though, you can get it for MUCH less. I got the Custom, with 5.8L engine and convenience package upgrade for just under 40k. That is unheard of from any of the competitors for price with those features. you still get all the same capabilities. just a few trim diffs.

[@JamesHansonPortOrchard]

oops. 5.3; you know what i mean though

[@BreckoniousMaximus]

What is the difference between the custom and LT trailboss?

[@terrencejones9817]

@@BreckoniousMaximus custom is base trim. 6 speed trans. Old AFM 5.3L. Smaller infotainment screen on the Custom, Halogen head lamps. The LT has a 5.3L DFM engine, 8 or 10 speed transmission, LED headlights and fog lights. Also a lot more option packages

[@53thumper]

I agree the Tundra needs some serious tires from the Factory on the Pro. You mentioned the lack of keyless tailgate locking system. It is an option, I installed the OEM on my 2019 Taco and it works great from the Factory Key Fob. Great video.

[@denispetropoulos8438]

The tundra sounds better than the trail boss

[@williamfedyk7093]

Got hold the traction control button twice so it completely turns of the auto LSD it will be faster. If you leave auto LSD on it will modulate throttle

[@ShyaMiss]

It is purely mechanical. Turning off the G80 locker, is not even possible. The differential has nothing to do with the traction control or stability control.

[@lespaulplayer1234512]

Im a chevy guy, but Im not buying a new one until they put a electronic locker into it.

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

unless you off road alot it makes next to no difference on the road, the g80 locker is more for noobs that don't know how to use a diff lock or even know they have one, without a front locking diff its not going to be easy to off road anyway

[@lespaulplayer1234512]

BIGGIEDEVIL a locking diff works so much better in sand. By the time you spin the one tire enough to engage the locker in the g80, your already stuck. Ask me how I know lol

I have my truck not for racing, it’s for doing job. I don’t care fast or slow, all I care is doing great job for me.i use to have 2001tundra and now I have 2020 Tacoma trd pro. There both doing really good job for me.
