2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum TRD Off-Road Tested

[@peterhoma6385]

Just bought one 2024 same color same configuration except it came with a 3 inch TRD lift from the factory, and I just love everything about this new tundra . It really is an excellent machine !

[@TobinTwinsHockey]

Just got mine yesterday, no lift but 6.5 bed, otherwise same. Love it.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Ryan, It is about time Toyota offered a locking rear differential on the Tundra. With the price of body-on-frame pickup trucks and SUVs today, a rear locker ought to be standard equipment.🤨

[@ALMX5DP]

Seemed to do fairly decent here though. Maybe subsequent owners might tackle more hardcore obstacles, but at least for first owners I think this is equipped just fine for a non-niche pickup.

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@ALMX5DP It has a locker.

[@ALMX5DP]

@@rightlanehog3151 Oh gotcha, I thought I heard Ryan mention something but thought maybe it was some electronic mimickery. Not sure it's needed to be standard on non-offroad trims though, think a limited slip would be more beneficial for the majority of customers and their uses.

[@davidwelty9763]

You will not find this trim at Dealer lots for 74k, try 84k with markups.

[@dylanscott3785]

Just found one in AZ FOR 73K

Cool that the weather conditions let you use the crawl control. It was a powdery mess when I was there. Nice truck.

[@WW-wf8tu]

Well, I was not necessarily expecting the "ladder" to be that easy with this truck. Figured the tires would give you some grief. But as you pointed out, the terrain was pretty idealistic. It is good you explain that factor to people in these videos. Some might not comprehend that factor. I personally believe in, run what you brung and deal with the real. Where as I see a lot of people expecting and or asking for terrain conditions to be exact between vehicles for exact comparison purposes. Well done.

[@Doc1855]

Our neighbors have a new Tundra 4WD SR5. They get 18mpg when commuting over Snowqualmie pass. (He’s a Firefighter and works 7 days on and7 days off).

[@drivingsports]

His truck would still have the lower air dam which helps with MPGs. This one had it removed for the TRD Skid Plate.

[@PVTPablo]

​@@drivingsports You show the active aero when showing the TRD skid plate at 4:30 in the video

[@SinCityDetail]

I just detailed a 2023 TRD Pro today. It's a cool truck.

[@CalvinHikes]

Crazy that switching to the six cylinder turbo hasn't really improved gas mileage much. I know there's a huge V8 Fanboy Club but now I'm wondering if perhaps, they were correct all along.

[@drivingsports]

I haven’t looked at the exact numbers, but I believe emissions are much lower on the turbo six than on the eight.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

Typical mileage for these is around 21 or so. Not entirely sure why he got 16 other than the elevation.

[@Bosha92]

Its not about MPG the emissions are much lower with the V6 thats why everyone is switching.

[@wildbill23c]

The V8 got better fuel economy than the twin turbo V6 ever will, and with the V8 you weren't really working the engine at all on highway cruising drives. The problem was the 6 speed transmission never could figure out what gear it was supposed to be in LOL. The fuel economy was great back then considering it had a 4.30 axle ratio....it was built to work not be fuel efficient, which is where most people get mixed up...they buy a truck thinking its gonna do great on gas...no its built to haul and tow...want fuel economy buy a car. In the beginning of the video he mentioned he got 16mpg....pretty pathetic fuel economy, sure he was going up and down hills, but a truck like that with a V8 would have gotten a little better, and no turbos and hybrid system to give you problems after warranty period is over, and they will give you problems. What Toyota should have done was put an 8 speed in the Tundra with the V8 as an ongoing option, if you want a car with a truck bed fine, get the pile of junk V6, but for those that actually want their truck to last and need to haul and tow a lot of the time get the V8.

[@moloono1]

I’m torn between the two. The TT6 will perform better at higher elevations, so that’s a plus.

[@shumann1605]

Great video! Love the background music towards the end.

[@dwightrider5713]

Great video. I have a 2023 Tundra Limited with the TRD Off Road that I have yet to use the DAC or Crawel so you taught me a lot. One piece of advice you can turn the safety collision sensors off with the button down on the left of the steering wheel.

[@JM-nz8gw]

Boy am I glad I got a 4Runner for MSRP... these new generations of trucks and SUVs are insanely high... and that's without markups.

[@matthoffman8162]

18” gold ano’d TRD rims on 35’s would have been a nice touch.

[@Jgjginkg244]

I love it! Thank you for your hard work!!

[@forrest225]

It's worth noting that there are two different OEM versions of the wildpeaks. The ones on the TRD offroads aren't just less tread depth, they are a totally different tread pattern. They pretty much look like a slightly ruggedized highway tire. The TRD Pro wildpeaks have the same pattern as real wildpeaks, but less depth and a different compound. Neither one is 3 peak mountain snowflake.

[@richardriggs4413]

Just ordered a limited TRD PRO, here in southern Ontario Canada. 18 to 24 month delivery time , so a 25 or 26 model year i am guessing. The limited was over 100 000 with taxes , the platinum adds another 15 000 to the price tag .

7:50 because no one that buys these 75K trucks are actually taking them off road. I’d be surprised to see them towing or even utilizing the bed space. Let alone mud and dirt on them. It’s just a status trim. “I have the platinum TRD hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”

[@tlindsay6687]

Does this truck have the digital rear view mirror?

[@KPHVAC]

I really hope the new Tacoma hybrid 4x4 can get better fuel efficiency. At least 25 to 27 MPG. Otherwise I'm thinking the Chevy Silverado 3L diesel is the truck to buy since it can get 25 to 30 MPG.

[@ALMX5DP]

Just make sure you understand how mpg translates to fuel cost per mile.

[@KPHVAC]

@@ALMX5DP I do. That's the downside with the Chevy diesel. Especially if the emissions system goes out or other reliability issues. I'm probably better off with the Tacoma. I've had my Honda Accord for over 10 years and 150,000 miles. I'm sure I would keep a truck for the next 15 years.

The lack of AWD to 4 HI to 4Lo is a massive deal breaker. This isn't the 1970s and the new systems are very capable. A real lifesaver on patchy road conditions where a 2 speed transfer case is a bad choice.

[@FlackO503]

I have a '23 Tundra SR5 TRD sport, no locker... do you think it needs all the extra goodies to do your trail ??

[@wildbill23c]

I would just skip all that nonsense and add an aftermarket locker, and skid plates, get rid of the running boards/steps option and put sliders on it and have money left over. Just buy the base model 4x4, add an ARB locker or any auto locker will do as well. Stick to 17" or maybe 18" wheels and you'll have more space for tires with more sidewall for better ride and less issues with tire damage on trails. All those fancy goodies they add are garbage, and way too expensive for what they are. I had an 08 base model Tundra, but with the 5.7L V8, and 4WD....had plenty of features, if I could have got it without the safety nannies it would have been even better LOL....never felt the need for a locker, the ATRAC and good tires with 4WD did very well even in some pretty precarious spots I got into in deep snow and a couple of occasions some deeper muddy areas up hunting. Toyota lost my business when they just completely discontinued the V8 option in the Tundra and went straight for that stupid turbo V6 crap. Yes, when you buy a vehicle that you are gonna keep for 10+ years, you want the V8, not the turbo underpowered engine garbage....they don't bother to tell customers that anytime you want to get out of your own way you are gonna get worse fuel economy than a V8 or larger engine period...and all that 400+ horsepower don't happen at all without those turbos and guzzling gas. 16mph, that's HD truck fuel economy...and actually many of them now get around that or better when unloaded....so a 1/2 ton truck getting that kind of fuel economy in today's world is pretty pathetic.

[@TB-dj8kl]

Beautiful truck but you have to have a lot of disposable income I feel. It would be nice to have a tundra or a fullsize truck but I can't justify a fullsize unless I have a business to write it off. The tacoma or a midsized truck is very appealing to me. The capacities are decent, better mpgs and the power output is alot better than what they used to be. Plus one turbo is cheaper to replace than two.
