2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro vs GMC Sierra AT4X AEV - Mud, Rocks & Water will Decide Which is Better!

We pit the GMC Sierra AT4X AEV Edition against the new Toyota Tundra TRD Pro to see which is superior off-road. While the Tundra offers you a twin-turbo V6 hybrid, the GMC continues to come with a 6.2L V8, making the character of these truck very different.

For off-roading, the GMC looks a little better on paper, but once we hit the trailer and consider the price tags, will it still be the superior truck? Watch the full review to see whether the Toyota Tundra or GMC Sierra comes out on top, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

I'm not sure I'd take any new full sized truck off-road nowadays, they are just too expensive.

[tahyingyang]

I absolutely love that you compared basically EVERYTHING some videos I’ve seen have been more bias towards one or the other. This really put perspective in my mind about everything.

[TruckKing]

CORRECTION: We said the fuel tank skid plate on the Tundra is plastic, but that's an oversimplification and doesn't do it justice. It's actually called Xply Armor, a unidirectional long glass fibre reinforced Nylon. Glass fibre tape is layered with alternating directions and bonded by nylon to make this skid plate.

I just can’t justify a full size truck for any price with less than 1, 200 lbs of payload, not to mention less than 9k towing for $90k USD.

The GMC's looks & traditional V8 engine put it over the top for me...super video...

[kurtfirestone]

The under side view is REALLY nice. Should show that on all trucks and suv

Great review gentalman! I literally have been trying to decide between these two trucks for a month. I choice and bought the the Tundra TRD PRO last week for two reasons. Toyota's reliability and strong resale value and second the GMC had so many fit and finish issues that there was no way I was spending the extra 20k. Also the TRD PROs are hard to find (most pre sold) and the GMC dealers in my area can not give the AEV away even at invoice in my area.

As for pricing, the comparable GMC to the TRD Pro would've been the standard AT4. The standard AT4 doesn't have front lockers, massaging seats, high approach bumpers, etc. which the TRD Pro doesn't have.

[LucasLeCompteMusic]

No tow hooks on a truck in 2023 is insane. They should come on all trucks in 2023.

Neither, I went with a 1500 ZR2, Front and rear lockers, all the same camera views same shocks as the AT4X and 1500lb cargo capacity at 73k US. I like Toyota and was excited to see the new Tundra. I think they dropped the ball on a lot of it. Drop the tailgate and try to climb in the bed. You can't even step on the bumper with the gate down. No tow hooks in the front of a truck?? Cheap flimsy plastic all over the exterior. With how long they took to redesign the Tundra, I expected better. Coming from someone who has owned 5 Toyota's including the previous gen 5.7L Tundra.

[atvseatexchange]

Impossible to justify these prices new but I watch to see what I might be interested in when they're used, ten years from now. On a 500 mile loop this weekend, I got 18.6 mpg with my 10 year old GMC 4wd with an 8 foot bed. 100 dollars for fuel and no payments!

[pabo]

weird to have an offroad truck with no tow hooks or front locker. I'd have to go with the GMC if I was off roading for those 2 reasons alone. Both are too big for real off roading I think though.

[chrish]

Im a Toyota fan and drive a last generation Tundra. The new TRD PRO missed it on alot of things for me in the redesign unfortunately. Those sway bars on the TRD PRO are going to get bent or broken if you do any serious offroading. The huge gap up front between the bumper and the first skid plate? Whats going on there..

Now the interior/engine/new suspension I do love.

This engine (V35A-FTS) isnt new people. Its been in a lexus since 2017... so it has definitely been tested.

[etiennetremblay]

Steel bumper’s & skid plates, tow hook, etc you probably reduce payload by 500-600 lbs just with that.
Adding long travel suspension and you are around 1000lbs

[brandonjacksoon]

As always very interesting comparison!
Thanks for cool content Truck King!

[joemcgee]

Funny enough I currently own an old 08 Tundra, shes been great, but recently gave me few small problems, my 2023 TRD PRO will be here next month.

[Ernest_Burns]

Heavy duty material/hardware and interior comfort is where some of that added cost comes into play, and the AT4x wasn't used to it's fullest potential. Aside from that they both can get the job done.

[kellycampbell]

I think the style on the Toyota looks really good. They did a good job on it.

[curtshelp]

My Colorado has a greater payload than these two trucks. How does Toyota not put tow hooks on an off road package? The Toyota looks pretty good except for the flush grill. I think having the grill itself set back an inch or two behind the frame of the grill would have looked much better.

[brentworls]

Those prices make used trucks the best buy, regardless of brand.
