Toyota Tundra TRD Pro | Not for Amateurs

We drive the new 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid to determine if this is a legit off-road truck. We discuss the pros and cons and technical details of how the truck works and the changes to suspension and interior. This is based on the new Land Cruiser in terms of design. Would you choose this over the Ford F150 Raptor, RAM TRX, and, Chevy Silverado Trail Boss?

New Tundra/Sequoia both look great indeed. They are styled as an evolution of the Tacoma design which to me has been the best looking truck for the past decade now. So it will be interesting to see what direction Toyota takes with the next one. Turbo 4 is a guaranteed lock. Parallel hybrid not so sure..

[@BC_Hunter]

@@kenkozawa9810 Everyone seems to think they’ll offer a tuned down turbo v-6 paired to a hybrid, an twin turbo i4 and an electric. They know it’s their #1 seller. I think we’ll see a few Tundra ques mixed with the a Tacoma. If they go to radical, it could impact sales. This is why I think it won’t be as big as an exterior change as people are thinking.

I have a white Tundra with a 13" lightbar mounted on the front. A limited slip(Locker someday?) A black hood accent and Falken wildpeak a/t tyres. Which have been the best set off tyres I've ever owned. Also, a Moonroof with the slide down rear window. Except my Tundra is a 2005 Limited with a 4.7L 2uz-fe V8 producing around 260hp as advertised. More around 220hp. Just hit 250k miles two days ago. We had a birthday party for her. Got her a oil change and all that good stuff. Yes the frame is rusted in some areas. Yes my gas cap lock also rusted off so it now just flops in the wins, hanging from one screw because the other screw rusted and broke. I still love the old girl.

[@brandenj576]

I have spent a lot of time on old, bad forest service roads in the middle of nowhere for my job for many years. Tundras are a no go, they’re just too big to fit on those roads (most new trucks have this problem). My work trucks were F150s and eventually TRD Tacomas and they were used hard. Hands down the Tacoma was the most capable vehicle I drove but it had a flaw where driving over washboard roads the front and back sensors in the diffs would get out of sync and it would kill the 4x4 and the dealer would have to reset the computers. Overall the F150, especially the 2012 with the V8, was the best truck. Comfy, reliable off road, and was nice on long highway drives. I honestly miss that truck.

[@dukekelloway5328]

You must be kidding. That same year I've found to be a dog. Broke every time it was needed. Last thing was the steering shaft that is out of line for only Ford reasons seizing and trying to kill me. Prior to that by six months it was the power train and alternator. This truck has 58k kilometres and is essentially a throw away. Rams are rush buckets near any salt or salt water and GM is proudly the best of the worse. Had them all and now drive the Tundra because of the others.

[@brandenj576]

@@dukekelloway5328 I understand that. It’s why we switched to Tacomas, other than the one issue I had, they were incredibly tough, capable, and reliable trucks. If I was going to own one myself it would be an older Tundra. I just don’t care for how big and bulky the all newer trucks have gotten for what I use them for. I did really like that older ford but maybe it was because it was owned and maintained by a government agency and the shops had a blank check to replace whatever they wanted on it whenever. Probably why I never had problems. But when we switched to newer ecoboost F150s they had problems and that’s why we went with Toyotas.

I honestly would spring for an older TRD Pro because the reliability factor is there. The only 2 problems the previous generation has is rust (just undercoat every year) and sometimes the starter motor fails and it's a total PITA to remedy but that's highly unlikely.

Who are these idiots that are deciding that the hood should be raised into your field of view? Training us for future vehicles with no windows just a TV screen.

Yes it’s stupid but I guess it’s another way they try to trick owners into thing it’s bigger and more truck like then it is. Same with the engine startup. Seems like they try to make the smallest engines the loudest so you “feel” like it’s a “truck”. It’s all this bs placebo crap to sell a half assed trucks to fools.
