Great job on the video Jon! Thanks for making it. Solar Octane looks so good with those technical camo accents.
You bet!
My only complaint is for that money and as an off road truck WHY DOES IT NOT COME WITH RECOVERY HOOKS. Besides that it looks solid!
Yessssss
Because it doesn't need recovering
Afe sells them the replace a bracket on the sway bar. Put some on my 22 trd off road worked great . Just traded it in for the 24 Trd pro love it so far.
@@Adrian-jh5crthat's not a good idea. Have you ever seen a truck with the hooks attached to the sway bars. There's a reason.. For sure voids the warranty.
I would say my complaint would be how about some better bigger off road tires
I just picked up my new pro Tuesday. I went with ice cap and red interior. I put 35’s immediately and I love it so far
Cograts!!! That's awesome man!
Checking the temp on prices. Did you pay msrp?
I got it about $1k under msrp@@westsidefireman
Should have never sold my 2011 Tundra Limited 4X4, I paid $38K brand new. $70K in 2023 is insane.
That color just rocks. I’ve been thinking about that Sequoia in Solar Octane lately, just how unique it looks… There’s nothing else like it on the road in full sized trucks and SUVs.
I totally agree!
yeah I saw the solar octane sequoia in a parking lot and it was epic! I've got an Inferno 2016 but the Solar Octane might be better!
I have to agree with you 💯 in everything you have said. Since the pandemic they have increased prices on everything, but especially at most car dealers like Toyota.
I have a 24' TRD Pro being made at the end of November in Terra. Very excited!
Heck ya man!
Gorgeous truck.
After a Month, I LOVE Mine!!!!
I take my 23 tundra through the automatic car wash and im getting water in my door jams. Also on the rubber wrapped wiring the door sticker wit the load rating. It comes in on all4 doors. Dealer service department says that is normal.
$80k here. I hope to see some gently pre-owned models in the 60s soon.
What a looker!
Johnson city toyota had this same color Trd pro tundra truck on their lot 2 months back . The list price with market adjustment fee was 83k.
I absolutely love my Solar Octane TRD Pro Tundra. The turning radius just took some getting used to. And know that you can't uturn in most places.
Yea a bit of a miss imo. A moder truck should be able to uturn.
@@TRDJon No argument at all. But with a wide truck I expect that uturning in 2 lane roads wil be difficult. My wifes 4runner is close in most of the places around here.
I ordered a 2024 in white TRD PRO with red interior can’t wait. Should take it less than a year to get here.
I like the headliner
I guess I would love the black headliner also just to avoid stains but kind alike the light I’m a tall guy so the interior feeling a little more open would be nice as well
I wanted to love these Tundras so bad! Decided to give it a chance when I was shopping, but the lack of bed utility, no 4WD Auto, lack of storage, lack of efficiency, and weird quircks like the remote start shutoff pushed me to a GMC. Also wish it had more premium materials for the cost.
Still think they are beautiful trucks. Maybe next time.
Love my trd pro
Glad you enjoy it!
Dream truck ! 🛻 one day
Good review Jon
Thanks
Can't afford to have too much fun on dirt with this $80k price tag truck
That Kia 😂I hope some of the changes coming in the new Tacoma make their way to the Tundra in a 2025ish refresh
Same man!
Looking forward to the TRD Performance package that's coming out next year! Hoping that will allow you to hear the turbos.
Me too. Not like we can’t modify it but the whole point of buying a Toyota is the reliability so it would be nice to not have to void the warranty to hear the turbos
Didn't like the color at first but I think I'm coming around to it. You're right, the black headliner would fit it perfectly. I will never understand Toyota's war on tow hooks either. Especially for such an expensive off roader
My new 2024 White Pro came with a black headliner
Beautiful truck.
It sure is!
Not for $70,000 a 6 cylinder
Terra 2024 with black headliner FTW !
Looks good. Was looking at the pro. There’s a year wait at local dealer.
Thanks for the showing. Looks like you’re floating😬
Nice man!! Best of luck getting yours!!
Went with the platinum. No regrets 🤙
Real nice!
I bought a 2023 at mrp and I justified the price truck so good
Nice. Congratulations!
Dang!!! I didn’t realize you have so many freckles, lol! My favorite freckle RUclipsr!
Been hot and sunny here lol.
Jon ur truck u current have is my dream truck with factory bags
Thank you man!
Are you still getting 17 mpg? Mine is a steady 16.5 or even 16 MPG driving in ECO mode and I'm at 4,000 miles. Almost everything on my TRD pro I love, But I find the only things really lacking is the gas, and the turn radius.
I love how this truck looks but i like it in black better.
Black looks nice for sure
what happened to the Terra color? was it a limited run or something?
my only complaint is the horizontal sway. The 2024 added an additional control bar for that reason. I recently purchased a 2023 and regret not waiting.
Where at?
Beautiful truck. But I have to say why did they not put 35” tires on the pro? Looks like it skipped leg day. And give us a better offset!
Yup. Yup. Yup. Solar Octane definitely in top 5 of TRD Pro Colors of all time. Solar Octane. Lunar Rock. Heritage Blue. Army Green. Voodoo Blue.
Turning radius sucks. Big time.
Yea that was a big gripe I had with it. Idk how it was so bad. But the Color is AMAZING
I really like the new Tundra but I can't get past the fact that their are no factory engineered front recovery tow hooks and an option for a front winch. I don't understand an off road truck offering without a way to pull on the truck safely if stuck in an off road adventure. The competition offers these items in the off road versions engineered from the factory. Come on Toyota!
I like the color of the platinum more
It is a nice truck! I just can’t get over the fact that the new Tundras don’t have tow hooks.
I know right
I’m not a fan of solar octane but when I see one at a dealership or parked, I’m drawn to it. Hard to explain how I truly feel lol
It's a looker for sure
Point Washington! I’m in Santa Rosa I go there all the time
Decent little spot.
Just want to know your take on the hybrid engine drive / power and if are you happy with your choice of non hybrid platinum. My guess is that it’s not worth the $$ if your not doing daily hauling/loading.
Yea I am perfectly fine with the non hybrid honestly.
Purchased my TRD Pro in Icecap and I simply love it. Drove from Long Island to northern Vermont on a single tank of gas. Drives great. Handles great. Comfortable. The only negative is the turning radius but it’s not a game changer. Just get used to it. Great truck!
I was so sad because they made the rear headroom smaller and no safety hook in the front. I hope they fix that.
Lots of shortcomings with this
Can you remove those tail gate inserts? Curious if anyone has done that.....i like the cleaner look of the body color stamped tailgate.
Yes you could.
70k thats crazy. Still love my 2000 tundra. Best ever truck and only paid 5k for that truck
It’s OK to be cheap… someone has to do it🤷🏻♂️
Enjoyed my 06 for 10K as well.
I think i would like to pick it up!😂
where in florida are the fun spots for offroading like this? Looks like a great time!
This was in Point Washington.
I know everyone is different but the engine noise doesn’t bother me I actually like it
Did you find the ac to be a little lacking on the hybrid?
I actually found it better then my Tundra. I mentioned that this had an AC to the rear cut off and it allowed it to blow cooler IMO
How is the suspension package on it i have a SLT gmc and when i hit pot holes i lose control of the vehicle sometimes
Pretty solid with the fox shocks
What’s the difference in just getting the Limited with the TRd off road package?
There is alot. Best to look at Toyota's website since there are probably 20+ standard options to list.
I hope they add HUD to TRDPro
What are your thoughts on overall driving feel between the iforce and iforce max? From an MPG perspective, the iforce max doesn't seem worth it.
I’d get an iforce again
FYI those are the Falken Wildpeak AT3W. A, so not the ones people typically buy.
In the rear of that Pro is the right-hand seat also Camo? from the video it looks like the left side seat had camo, but the right did not, only on the sides of the seat...
Both sides do
@@TRDJon must be the angles
I’m trying to get a Terra trd pro
Is there a Bug Net that you can add so you wont get all those road bugs stuck in your radiator ?
I’m sure there is
About to order a 24 tundra I think. Trying to decide between the pro or the platinum
Oh that’s hard. But platinum has the trd or now so you can build it up with better suspension than a pro
I drove behind one in Tampa...talk about curb appeal!
Nice man!
How is it with out the side step rails?
Not horrible at all.
Would your rather get a Toyota Tacoma trd pro 2024 or trd pro tundra
Tacoma all day
TRD Tundra.....Tacoma not built for anyone over 6 feet......................@@TRDJon
The new one is.
Noti gang on deck
Thanks dude!!
Where was this at? Looks fun for next time I’m around Destin
Point Washington area off 395
Were you in Ocala National Forest or Citurs Wildlife Management Area?
This was in Point Washington in NWFL.
How long you think those turbos will last before they give out?
No idea. Hopefully several hundred thousand miles. There are already a few 2022s that hit 100K
The marker light Not because of DOT requirement it is for look i heard toyota engineer explains
False. It is wider then 80"
@TRDJon ram and chevy 1500 are over 80" wider but didn't have marker lights
Toyota follows laws to a t.
I absolutely disagree with you on the fake engine noise. The turbo whine irritates me and I want to hear as little of that as possible. I love the big rumbly noise it puts out. It's no V8, but it's good.
For sure preference 👍🏼
You must have a discount at 70k .bought mine in 22 with lunar for 90k. . Nothing on lot in the biggest Tundra dealer. Fred Hass Toyota world and have bought 5 vehicles from them...... the Tundra was made to order only.. .. and I bet people say oh it's your credit..lol perfect credit and was going to pay cash.. they would not give me an option to pay cash...wtf?? Admitted they make money on fiance.. ok. Paid and left with 20k left. They are stealing people's money and got bent over, BUT I wanted another Tundra after owning 2 others. Learning my lesson during a covid run depletion of vehicles and didn't want to hear it. Love my truck ONLY complaint is the JBL speakers, but I'll get rid of that through taco tunes.
I understand lower emissions but this truck should get better fuel mileage
70K?? There is one for sale here locally in the DFW on a pre owned dealer lot for.........88K yep. No way.
Just cuz it's for sale, doesn't mean that's the price....
Shout out to that Kia driver though
The real MVP lol
Is the Tundra TRD-pro really an Off-road truck or just for show?.anyhow I love it!.,& Honestly I wouldn't take it off the road.
It has a great amount of feature for pretty decent off road out of the box.
Did you feel a difference on the brakes and the AC ( cabin getting cold fast) ? compare to yours ?
The AC was colder in this
my dream truck 🔥
It's so ugly though?
@chrisx5127 you watch videos on it though? Lol
@@TRDJon There is a white Tundra park across the street from my place. I see it every day as I go to work. It's looks great until you inch closer to the front.
lol
@@TRDJon Jon - I want to love it, but I just cannot. I was just as excited about the new Tundra as I was with the Tacoma. In fact, I thought my first truck would be the Tundra.
My v8 sounds fantastic.
I would buy that if i could afford it.
😂 I was going to suggest to you that you test trucks where you’re doing it
Lol 😂
I manage a fishing store next to the Publix close by. Come see us! We love Toyotas
I’ll stick with my diesel trailboss that gets 28 mpg hwy. I love Toyotas but the fuel economy isn’t up to par.
Agree & I personally see this new Tundra as hideous. Once Nissan exits the full-size market; Toyota will be dead last in sales … they don’t compete in this segment, but they make decent commuter cars.
Toyota FIX THE UGLY FRONT BUMPER, make it look like the bumper on the new Sequoia!
Fix the whole front of that thing, it hideous
Which has smoother ride. TRD or the Premium?
Platinum does stock
@@TRDJon Sorry, what does that mean?
There is no Premium tundra. Only platinum grade and it rides smoother than this TRD Pro
@@TRDJon got it. thank you so much.
What do you think about a 23 solar octane TRD Pro with 8k miles for 70k?? Is that reasonable or should I try and find a MSRP dealer
I mean that's under MSRP new right?
It sucks it has 8K miles on it but that's a pretty decent deal.
@@TRDJon that’s my thoughts do I just pay a little more for brand new one.. problem is I can’t any without a mark up.
Yeah it’s a few thousand under MSRP it’s actually the cheapest one in a 500 mile radius lol @@TRDJon
Do it
I test drove one these this weekend. The pump in engine sound was very annoying to me!
So loud right?
@@TRDJon Very loud.
The smaller infotainment screen on the SR5 looks way better than the silly dash iPad.
Put the infotainment into the dash not on top of it toyota, that trend has had its day.
It's barely is over the dash Imo.
@@TRDJon it is not integrated and detracts from the interior appearance.
Gotcha
The large screen up higher allows you to keep your eyes on the road along with easily seeing and operating the large functions touch buttons. Most reviewers say they quickly get used to the screen size and appreciate the convenience.
@@pauldiesel4582 it looks like an afterthought, integrate it into the dash better, looks like they just propped up a tablet
How hot is it down there in Destin? My wife wants to vacation down there in a week or 2. Beautiful truck btw.
Thanks! Heat wave sucks right now. 96° tomorrow
@@TRDJon ….. ugh. We have been going to Silver Beach Towers for 12-15 years, usually in April/May which is always great. Low 80s and no humidity. Did August a couple times years ago. The Gulf and the condos pools were like bath water and 90+ every day. Btw, I have yet to see a solar octane Tundra here in Ohio. Looks good in your video. I have a 2018 Cement SR5 (my 9th Tundra) after selling my ‘21 Platinum for a huge profit. I’ve made the ‘18s appearance into a TRD Pro and it’s been my favorite truck. Used mainly to tow our camper, but looks great doing so, lol
Well that was a strange coincidence….5 minutes before you responded to my post my wife booked a week at Silver Beach Towers starting Labor Day. Last minute deal on the 16th floor was almost half off! Hopefully this tropical storm coming this week sucks some of the heat away…lol🤷♂️🥵 Maybe we will see you on the road Jon! What vehicle would should we look for?
So you got a platinum not the pro?
Correct. I’ve had it since March
@@TRDJon Nice any issues on that one ? I have a 2022 Pro and I did notice the little whistle noise on the driver side, and that’s when I saw your video on the SR5 so I took it to the dealer and they did fix that. Now is much better, also I do agree with the turning why did they do that with the truck, with my 21 pro I was able to do a U turn so easy now I need to back up in order to complete that turn with this truck.
After driving all the full-size trucks, except Nissan; Toyota is dead last for me. The powertrain & capability is not there IMO.
1st place) Ford F-150 Tremor
2nd place) Chevrolet ZR2/GMC AT4
3rd place) Ram 1500 Rebel
Bigger tires.
What we are never going to hear is that dealers give you money back for something that we already paid We are idiots who pay these amounts for these plastic cars. I include myself in them because I have one.
Again, it looks great until you panto the grill. Color that little section at the bottom, body color, and it would not hilight how big a mouth there is. The Sequoia front end is alright, not the Tundra.
Wish I can afford it 😪 😂😂😂😅😮
Don’t wish. Do.
If only they blacked out the headliner in 2023 🤦♂️
Or 2022 lol
Toyota won’t even give me my second key fob 😂
That’s the Toyota feeling 😝
They are only about $280!
That mpg at 18 mpg is not good. I'm getting a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 3.0 duramax custom trail boss, 25+ mpg all day long!! I bet the Chevy will outlast your Tundra!!
No way a Chevy outlasts a tundra. I’ve never heard anyone in my life actually make a statement like that knowing what we know about Toyota and Chevy
@@GeorgeZimmermen
We don't know how the new Tundra will do long term tho. Chevy has been doing good with there 3.0 duramax tho. A lot of owns have said they have had no problems. Toyota Tundra has had quite a few issues tho. The main issue is pricing. $70,000 for a TRD Pro and only getting 18 mpg is garbage. I mean a Ram 3500 Cummins gets 23 mpg on the hwy!!
Yeah have fun replacing the wet oil pump belt in that Duramax 3.0 at 150K miles. Its at the back of the engine so regardless of which one your choose, the engine or transmission needs to be removed to access it...
@@pementerprises7706
Yeah, it's only $3,000 to do that tho. With a twin turbo if you don't get the timing right and it's a tooth off, you can blow up your engine. Each truck is very scary to own honestly. Super expensive either way.
True, but the turbos would be an unexpected failure where as the chevy oil pump belt is required maintenance that is guaranteed to occur at least every 150K miles. Also a 2022 tundra was sold on Car Fax with 155k miles and the only failure was a throttle body at 115k miles, but only time will tell I guess. @@stevenpeterson7234
Had 2 friends that bought new Tundras and both with less than 1000 miles the turbo waste gates went bad. Cabs had to be removed in order to replace.
That stinks!
the waste gate issue have been fixed already for the 2nd year (2023) model. Toyota is very quick to fix things, but like everyone else, there tends to be more problems their first year.
don't know if it will be as reliable as their NA V8, time will tell.....but I would trust a Toyota twin turbo V6 over a Ford eco boost which is also twin turbos.
@@keithcrandall1369 agreed
@@TRDJon certainly does. I would have been quite upset if I just spent that much.
So stupid they give the special colors to all the model lower levels the next year.
No. Just TRD as mentioned.
fit and finish of the new tundra's is poor
The words: “the beautiful solar octane” is a bit irritating. I completely disagree. It is abhorrently ugly 😅
Great thing about our own opinions
They gave you the keys because you're a Toyota salesman lol.
Shoot I wish I got paid a commission lol.
that mpg ain't true my 1794 makes 14 in the city im going to toyota looks like you have to drive like grandma
Depends how you drive it. My Platinum is at 17 as welll with the lift and 37's
23 1794 non-hybrid with 1500 miles and 19.7 MPG, gone on the highway 3 times. Staying out of boost is how to get the best MPG in any turbo charged vehicle…
@@pementerprises7706 he was talking about city mpg, not highway
