[@j.r.b.5464]

Gentlemen, I happened to watch this video last night while researching possible replacements for my 2013 Ram 1500. Given the snowy conditions, like you, I was impressed with TRD Pro Tundra's performance running all three stages of the route successfully. It's actually even more impressive when you consider that you managed it with an open rear differential. You mention the Tundra's Auto-LSD at one point as one of the traction control aids the truck offers in addition to a 2-speed transfer case. However, unless something has changed recently (as in the year or two) the Auto-LSD feature wasn't a factor in your success. The Toyota Auto-LSD operates only in 2WD mode, not in 4WD. While it is a traction improvement tool situationally, on slick highways or on a wet boat ramp when in 2WD, it's not helpful in the situation you guys tackled in the video. I see lots of comments to the effect that it doesn't have a "true locker". In truth, when in 4WD mode, it has no locker of any kind. I also see comments about the on-road biased on-road/off-road Michelins. Both true. But abra cadabra, you got where you were going and it actually looked kind of easy. Well done. In the larger context, all modern (I use "modern" charitably in the Tundra's case) full-sized pickups are handicapped off road anyway - they have big breakover angles and substantial width. I'm reminded of that fact every time I lose a side stirrup to a boulder or listen to the nails-on-chalkboard sound of creosote branches removing long stripes of paint from my doors and fenders. If my main pursuit was off-roading, I would not pick a big truck to do it. When I off road it's almost always to get someplace hard to reach to do some other activity like archaeological surveys, take a backcountry hike, photograph something under just-the-right light, observational astronomy, etc. For all of these things big cargo capacity is a must. The Tundra has big second row cargo space and with a shell, big enough bed cargo space. It has slowly crept up my list from the very bottom (on account of the usual gripes - no locker, horrendous fuel economy, last-century gear box, etc.). For my intended use it's better than my current truck - better ground clearance, fancier factory suspension with the Fox set-up, LED headlamps and fog lights, much better range-per-tank with it's 38 gallon fuel tank (my Ram has the stock 26 gallon, but even if I swapped in the optional 32 gallon, this Tundra would still have more real-world range as my Ram averages only about 14.5 mpg in mixed driving with a 5.7L Hemi and a 3.91 rear) and for those LONG highway slogs getting from home here in Napa Valley in California to the 4 Corners region to play, it has radar cruise-control for those 12-14 hour driving days. I also think the price is actually pretty good when you compare apples to apples. Ignore the marketing that would have us think this Tundra is Toyota's answer to Ford's Raptor or the Ram Rebel. It's not. The Tundra TRD Pro at ~$52-54k has a feature mix you can't match with Ram or F-150 for anything close to that price. Try it. Price a Ram or F-150 (haven't tried it yet with a Silverado/Sierra) with the following: 4WD, crew-cab, SB, leather seating surfaces, LED headlamps and fog lights, fancy factory performance exhaust, V8, auto-LSD or alternative, sat-Nav, auto-cruise, stock skid plates and a big fuel tank. A comparably equipped 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab short bed 4x4 lacks a fancy suspension option (unless you want to treat the $1800 air suspension as a Fox suspension alternative, which pushes the Laramie price even higher) and comes in around $58k in MSRP, about 4k more than the Tundra. F-150? Ha, ha, ha, ha. Overpriced compared to alternative in any apples-to-apples trim comparison - You're just over $60k MSRP. Toyotas tend to have better resale value than Fords or Rams (or Chevy/GMCs), so economically you pay less going in (apples-to-apples in feature terms) and get more of what you paid coming back out after 5-10 years. No decision yet, but as I said, the Tundra has slowly climbed from "almost didn't consider it" to "I could see buying one to replace my current truck".

I will be switching to a set of Goodyear Duratrac's as soon as these wear down, but all in all not a bad tire at all. I love this truck, i've owned many fords and gm's, and yes GM and Ford have nicer interiors and more high tech features available... but each and every one of those I spent many visits to the dealerships. This toyota is just rock solid. It works, it does everything well, even as the oldest design on the market right now I would pick my toyota time and time again over the competition. Anyone that talks bad about a toyota hasn't owned one. Once you go toyota it's hard to want to go back to anything else. Did I mention this motor is a beast!

Exactly my comparison. Interior is functional, not dated as such. Sure could use lots of outlets but are you driving or texting? Like the style. Looks big but not oversized. The style will age well.

Tundra is a money printing press. Toyota makes 3 times as much per unit on Tundra as any of the big 3. Tundra sales are still solid.

That's my bet of what we'll see in the engine bay. Otherwise it'll probably be pretty similar. Nothing meaningful has changed in truck design otherwise.

Couldn't keep it running more than a few weeks at a time without something going wrong: tranny lost 4th gear, rear axle went out, transfer case burnt up, it was only 4 years old and there was rust showing on the rocker panels, not to mention the piddly shit that kept nickel and diming me to death. I live in the South, no where even near the rust belt! After it left me stranded on the side of the road for the umpteenth time, I had had enough. Went out the following week and bought an F150 and have been happier ever since. That was over 20 years ago.

I was told by the dealer president of my Canadian prairie Toyota dealer the reason they don't put a more aggressive tire from the factory on the Tundra was because the fuel mileage is a touchy subject and would be even worse if it had bigger rubber. The individuals father owns the dealer and he has worked at the dealer for over 25 years and even built a 2014 Tundra with air locker, lift kit, big lights, winches, running boards and custom front and rear bumpers and possibly more stuff. True or not Toyota position is that if you are truly a off roader you will adapt the truck or buy a Tacoma. My personal thoughts are that the Tundra is already a big truck and if you are in the bush or swamp with a new truck you are going to scuff and scratch the clear coat whcih is kinda stupid. Carry a trailer and build a custom offroad vehicle to have fun instead of a quad that you don't care if it gets scratched or rolled so that you can go mudding or bashing to your hearts content.

Did stage 3 at a 10mph steady roll in a tundra TRD PRO but tried it at idle with the outback then bashed the car when it didnt make it. Should’ve let the tundra idle up it at .5mph too (would’ve done the same thing as the outback).

Only Toyota could get away with not updating a powertrain for 12 YEARS!!!! That truck came out in 2007 and is basically untouched since. The only place it shows up as an 07 is the horrible mpg when compared to the competition. Power and performance is still competitive. Just goes to show how good it was in 07.

[@lukestoyz]

ib516 Toyota did change the transfer case in 2014. New unit does engage into 4wd quicker , but not necessarily stronger.

[@lukestoyz]

One mod some might not be aware of on Tundras is swapping out the transfer cases with a Sequoia adds a center differential and Awd ability along with selectable 2wd and 4wd

[@sergiupuscasu2496]

Not only are those fake hood vents completely unnecessary, but they also obstruct your vision forward a bit by being taller than the bonnet. Ugly and useless. You can tell it's a TRD Pro from the wheels, blacked out door handles and blacked out grille with body-colored surrounds. There's no need for ugly body panels Toyota.

[@wwaytobe]

Great truck! But hard to hand over $51k when you can get a 2 year old v8 FX4 with 40miles, + more features (lariat) for about $35k Good clip guys I do really like the TRDpro!

[@CaptainMav]

Good point however after 8 years the lariat will be worth half of the tundra

[@evilamc1962]

I’m upstate ny the TRDs are $45000 so I’m not going to complain lol you pay more for a ford, Ram or GM and you get all the recalls that come with lol Toyota does need to get rid of those tires though. They should atleast get some Felken Wild peak Atw3s. They are faily cheap tire. They get amazing traction in mud snow and wet roads with very little road noise.

[@Red.Hot.Chili.Beans63]

Still no electronic locker on the rear diff!!! It's had to understand Toyota's resistance to this common feature which is on all it's competitors off road versions. ATRAC works well with a locked differential on the Tacoma. It can't be an oversight or a engineering problem. On a truck that expensive, it should at least be an option.

So wait... Toyota puts out a decent but kind of dated truck, charges a bunch of money for it, and its bad ass. But Nissan does the same thing with the Titan but price it lower and it's not bad ass?

[@ontheotherside3]

My titan has a Cummins, a heavy duty aisin tranny, and a rear locker from the factory. And it was cheaper than a sr5 tundra with a couple options. Still, I wonder if i made the right choice...

[@kmeekins4168]

@@ontheotherside3 I'd say you did.

[@SSMedic]

@@ontheotherside3 Pretty sure you do not have the same aisin tranny that goes into a dodge 3500. Your aisin transmission is a lighter duty, totally different transmission for a smaller 5.0 cummins. I do like the cummins/aisin combo in the new Titan though, I wish other manufacturers would offer it, Actually, I wish dodge would offer it in the 1500, get rid of that pos ecodiesel. Edit: I want to clarify, the Aisin A466ND in the Titan and the Aisin AS69RC in the dodge 3500 are similiar in the fact that they weigh approx the same (400lbs) and they share the same gear ratios. The AS69RC is said to be able to handle up to 950 ft-lbs of torque, while the A466NND is said to hold around 700 ft'lbs. On interesting fact is that, the rear axle on the Titan is from the NV3500 1 ton van.

[@ontheotherside3]

@@SSMedic thanks for the edit and clarification on the model numbers. Looks like I was wrong about it being the same tranny, close, but not the same. Still, it is quite a bit overkill. The 5.0 cummins only puts out some 555 ish tq.

[@Nick_Logan]

Titans are pieces of shit. I owned a 2010 and it had electrical issues, then I found out most of the parts come from China and are assembled here in Tennessee. Doesn’t have that Nissan Japanese reliability like the Frontier. No comparison to Toyotas. Titans are at the bottom of the food chain.

Lol at all these it needs a locker comments. It drove right up goldmine with no real effort, which is way more off roading than 99.9% of full size truck buyers will ever do. So, why exactly does it NEED a locker again? People just keep parroting something they heard over and over.

[@jabroni6199]

Mr M If you’ve never been in a situation where you’ve needed a locker you’ve never done any real off road driving. If you don’t do any real off road driving you don’t need a locker. But you aren’t everyone and everyone is not you. Some people are ok with a basic truck that poses as an off road truck. Others want a truck more capable off road.

[@pryme2013]

@@jabroni6199 your reply doesnt disprove my statement. 99.9% of full size truck buyers will NEVER do something as technical as gold mine hill, yet the tundra walked right up it with ease. I have a 2016 tundra and have never needed a locker and I live in an area with lots of snow and take it to places while hunting and never have issues. Ymmv. And it's not hard to add a locker IF you want to and still want the best built most reliable truck available, with the highest resale value.

[@jabroni6199]

Mr M 99.9% of truck buyers aren’t watching TFL to see how well a car does off road. If you want off road you want a locker. Period. If you want to talk about majority of buyers we can do that too. If you don’t want a shit interior you buy what the majority of truck buyers buy. Which is anything but a Tundra or Titan.

[@merc-ni7hy]

so some might not need a locker....but why not make it optional for those who do a good bit of off roading ...and just want one?....not everyone likes pepperoni...but at least pizza shops make it available ...toyota is just cheap ....thats why the taco still have drum brakes

[@pryme2013]

@@jabroni6199 people who are serious about off roading dont buy full size 50+ thousand dollar trucks, regardless of which manufacturer makes it or if it has a locker or not.
