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?

"The light bar is super impressive, it really lights up the road under the right conditions... like on the interstate"

I can already see one of these coming up behind me in the rearview mirror on the highway when doing the speed limit and still catching up like I’m standing still in my little 90s 800kg hatchback. High beams and LED bar on so that I have to start wearing a welding helmet to be able to see anything

as a Miata driver - i look forward to having that light bar behind me shining into my mirrors while i drive in the city

“It’s your brand preference “ - the most honest review ever !

[Filmingtherush]

Jack & Mark, would you consider another minute or two on the mechanical segment? Adding tidbits like the potential level of difficulty for changing the oil filter, draining coolant, replacing starter etc? Right to repair seems to be dwindling nowadays. With "family vehicles" like the Tundra I see people owning them longer than their "fleet oriented" (Ford) competitors. Food for thought.

I agree with the final assessment. All pickups these days are solid vehicles, with each manufacturer going about it in slightly different ways. Mark is right, it is now down to whatever truck tickles your fancy the most. You will likely be happy with any major brand. I'm a "Ford guy" that also owns 4 GM trucks. Whatever gets the job done....

I bet those new upgrades really make a giant difference running over curbs at the local Whole foods. Personally i’d just buy a Ridgeline or Taco and spend the leftover cash on a lifetime supply of T-supplements.

This New Tundra Pro takes assholery to a whole new level unseen since the inspection of the original, humble-man, Tundra of yesteryears.

Please do more Q&As they are so informative, and funny 😁

I totally can’t wait to drop 68 G’s plus dealer extra sauce on this V6 truck. That’s happening just as soon as I get out of my mom’s basement and of course it depends how much I’ll get on my trade-in, a Schwin ‘76 Sting-Ray bicycle.

The new tundra is super sick, truth be told, I’d like to see Toyota do something similar with the Tacoma. Parallel hybrid, turbo and what not

[KevinBurkeRacing]

@6:07, you didnt have to line up the drone shot with the interior sound. But you did anyway, thats the attention to detail that stands far and above the other outlets. Bravo

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.

Huge fan, Love you guys! Audio levels seem low on this one, have to turn it way up and then the commercials come on and blast me out. Keep up the great and hilarious content!

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.

Enjoy your banter. Just two dudes talking cars. No BS. All about the joy of behind the wheel…

[TimPaddy]

I'm surprised the fox shocks in this didn't get more praise. On my previous gen Sequoia they are amazing both off road and on road. It's IRS however.

[dougrobinson]

Is the EZ-Go golf cart in the final thoughts a teaser for an upcoming review? You could take her for some laps around Del Webb Huntley!

[ThinkfreeorDie]

really enjoyed this video. I would never own a truck like this but I love you guys presentation of it. Thank you

[TheWTFsauce]

I personally say this is a win for Toyota. The new power train is sketchy sure but I’ve heard mostly good things when it works, and tbh this is more than enough truck without having to launch it off a sand dune or a mountain
