2024 Tundra TRD Pro: Finally a Rear Locker!

[@peterhoma6385]

Just bought one and absolutely love it

[@EngineAdventures]

Glad you like it, it's a great truck!

Hey Matt, we miss your reviews

[@EngineAdventures]

Thanks Gio! There have been quite a few changes over the past year and a half. The media fleets aren't delivered to my location nearly as often, so I don't have as many vehicles to review anymore. There have also been some good changes in my personal life which are taking significantly more of my time. I'm still planning to continue the channel and will post vehicles as I get them.

Matt! Long time no see! Glad I found you again. Let me just say that I am so impressed with the Tundra's these days in comparison to my former 2021 Tundra (which was sold, but I regret selling) that had absolutely no off road extras like the new ones. However, like many, are skeptical of Toyota's reliability as of late. I hope they figure it out and get back to solid, reliable trucks at an affordable price.

@@haroldbeauchamp3770 hey Harold, thanks for watching and for the comment! Nice to hear from you again! I have no doubt Toyota will figure out the reliability side of things. Probably won't be a million mile engine like the 5.7, but I have faith in Toyota. The hybrid is also a question but arguably Toyota has more experience in hybrids than anyone else.

Pretty impressed with the off-road traction control, especially when rock mode was engaged. I also like the styling of the Tundra inside and out. Does the rear window still roll down?

[@EngineAdventures]

@@jarrodmcdaniel yup, I believe it's the last one to have that rear window. Good to hear from you again Jarrod!

Ppl like hybrid but not for me, I can't stand start-stop technology & a hybrid is that tenfold haha. Badass truck just not for me. I love my V-6 Tacoma TRD off-road 4X4 manual transmission. Fits in the garage, just sucks (for me) your Tundra gets BETTER ⛽ mileage that my Tacoma lol. Have fun in your new ride

[@EngineAdventures]

@@honda116969 I don't like the start stop much either, but in hybrids it's not as big of a deal.the hybrid has enough power to get you moving off the line and the transition into turning the engine on is smoother. It is nice the Tacoma is offered in a manual for those that want it! This is just a media truck that I had for a week. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Still no front locker and crap tires

[@EngineAdventures]

The TRD Pro is more of a Baja design than a rock crawler (but definitely not a Raptor or TRX/RHO). It at least has a rear locker now, unlike the previous gen, and the brake based traction control is one of the best in the business.

Nice interior, but for the issues it has, not worth it. Toyota has taken a MASSIVE drop in reliability with their new Tacoma and Tundra. Engine and trans failing. Toyota cut its costs, yet raised the price at the same time. No thanks.

[@EngineAdventures]

I chalk it up to teething issues that they'll get through. However, I don't remember such major issues when the 2nd generation Tundra came out. The 3rd Gen Tacoma had some issues up on release, but those were solved pretty quickly.
