Toyota Tundra, Tacoma or 4Runner TRD Pro? Which one should you buy?

[@RAINBOW-ed6hg]

Hands down you have to go with the 4Runner as it is basic, epic, durable (made in Japan) and exudes a manly confidence, followed by the Tundra (amazing comfort and space) and then the Taco (great first vehicle for a 17 year old to introduce him to the brand). Great vid, pal.

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks man! Though I’m Tundra, 4Runner then Taco... I think it’s safe to say you could go in any order based on your current family dynamic and living situation. 👌🏻

I’ve owned all three vehicles and would go for the Tundra if I only had to pick one! 2nd choice would be the 4Runner just because it has a bit more room than the Tacoma.

[@pauls8748]

Nice horses in the stable!; great collection! I’m getting use to the full size Tundra I have. I traded in a rust thru framed FJ Cruiser with 150K. The plan was to keep it but the rust had other ideas. I had put an ICON suspension on it and it was super! One of the reasons I bought the PRO was the Fox suspension; didn’t want to spend valuable time upgrading it. Before the FJ I had a 97 Land Cruiser, and before that a 1990 4Runner that we absolutely loved! So my point being, I bought the Toyotas for their durability, toughness, dependability, and rugged good looks! Sounds like you agree!!!! BTW, first Toyota was a 1978 Celica ST; really wanted a 77 Celica GT Liftback but couldn’t find one; (oh the single life back then).

[@UntamedMotors]

I have a Super White TRD Pro lined up that I plan to buy this weekend and our AWD Sienna will remain the family hauler...for now. For running boards I like the Go Rhino RB20s better than the Predator, but I've only seen them on your Tundra. The RSG's look amazing on your Taco also. Any reason you went Predator on the 4R? Keep the great videos coming!

Man untamed I watched quite a few of your videos. Your making it hard for me to trade my AG Pro 4runner in for a Pro tundra. I may be backing out in making that move. Decisions!!

[@TracyClark]

I had to make this decision. Went with 4Runner ORP. I LOVE KDSS and it’s not on TRD Pro. Also, I can buy a LOT of custom upgrades with savings over TRD Pro. Main reason I went with 4Runner over Tundra is where we live parking huge truck is a PITA & we don’t need THAT much interior space... boys are out of car seats. I do love that it’s made in Japan. Next Toyota will likely be Land Cruiser. Always wanted one. Have to admit I really love this 4Runner though.

[@MaziEmdi]

I kno the 4 gen tacos will be out soon but I definitely will get the 3rd gen TRD 4x4 or TRD Pro with the manual transmission. Bent on the Army Green but ur Cement is making a pretty good case to reconsider

[@andyham6094]

Upgrade to bigger more aggressive tires on the 4runner! I don’t think he upgraded the tires on his army green. AlwYs upgraded the tundras land cruiser, fj, and tacoma. About time to give the runner some love! Throw some 275-70-17 ko2’s on there or if you can fit the 285-70-17 but either one would be way better.

[@UntamedMotors]

Out of all the TRD Pros, the terra grapplers on the 4Runner bother me the least lol. They’re functional off road and look the part okay. I’d still like to put some KO2s on it but not in a hurry.

Thanks for the video, it was fun. Tundra for several reasons not the least of which is the 38gal. gas tank.

If it weren't for that I'd probably have one in my driveway already.

[@kmsharley75]

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

[@fouUili684]

I would choose the one you got rid of, the 200 series landcruiser haha. But out of those 3 I would choose the tundra but it all depends on what you do. My paid off 2014 tundra is a great family hauler and it’s mostly stock so the extra money goes to gas and it doesn’t bother me. Off-road the 4Runner wins, the taco is a last choice. One interesting fact is out of all 4wds Toyota makes the tundra has the highest ground clearance, more than the most off-road worthy “landcruiser”.

[@gaigejones6077]

I know I’m quite late, but I’m looking for something good for towing small stuff, but also fuel and room efficiency, what would you suggest?

[@UntamedMotors]

Out of these 3, definitely get a 2024 4Runner before they change to the 4 cylinder hybrid in 2025. The Tacoma and Tundra are far too gone. If you need a truck, look at a Nissan Frontier.

[@CalebCissna]

Not that I would choose only one, but probably the Tundra. I feel like now the interiors are all about equal, but the Tundra has more towing/power, with about the same MPG as the Tacoma/4Runner.

[@CodiTheJedi]

Would you go back to the tacoma after kids are out of Car seats? I just can't see any other vehicle even looking close to as nice as a trd pro tacoma. Being 5'7 and never needing to tow anything, I can't get behind a Tundra just for the backseat space. Hard choices haha.

[@UntamedMotors]

Absolutely! I love the Tacoma... I agree with it looking the best too. Great body line throughout... the fact that it’s still a 4dr and manageable with kiddos is why I’m keeping ahold of it for now. If you don’t need the extra space -I wouldn’t even consider the Tundra.

@@UntamedMotors definitely comes in handy for those of us who really need them. I tow and haul which is whybi have a titan xd. Although I live the Tundra the xd gives me the extra stability because it weighs over 7,000lbs but doesn't give me the punishing ride of a 3/4 ton. It really fits my need perfectly. If my food trailer wasn't so heavy I'd be in a tundra hands down, but the weight of the xd amd the diesel really makes a world of difference. Ive towed it with a tundra and an f150 5.0. The tundra got the load moving better than the 5.0 f150 but both did a good job, but as far as stability the xd was by far superior.
