I love opening the moonroof and the back window when I drive in town. It makes the perfect airflow!
I love how your three things you don’t use that much are the three things I use the most especially in the summer
The lack of seat cooler was almost a deal breaker when I traded my platinum in on my TRD pro. I miss the seat cooler. I live in South Texas. I used the seat heater once to keep a pizza warm taking it home.
You don’t use the cooled seats? We all get swamp ass man, come on. TundraDude is that guy in the locker room walking around barefoot lol
I like the folding mirror. Going to an ATM sucks already so the folding mirrors do help
Move to Texas you will use that cool seat feature!
I could be wrong, but I think the ventilated seats actually pull air through instead of push air up through the seats. I like them. I also like the folding mirrors and use them a lot. I, too, however, don't use the moon-roof enough to care about it. I would give up that moon-roof for factory rear under-seat storage in a heartbeat.
I use all three a lot. The sunroof is really nice with the back window down. Nice airflow.
Just bought a 2020 Tundra TRD sport premium today. First brand new vehicle and I absolutely LOVE it. Cheers
I use all 3 and love it. Especially driving by the beach with all windows down and it’s the best
power mirror used everyday in the city to avoid people hitting them. If only my tundra came with automatic steel cage protection from those old people that MUST hit you with their door
I feel like the mirrors should fold in automatically when you shut the truck off and out when you start it. I love the cool seats. Gotta avoid swamp ass in the summer.
Andrew Stoffa Yes!!! Thank you another human who cares about swamp ass! Now we know, TundraDude is that smelly guy in the locker room lol. Goes to the gym during lunch and puts his work clothes back on then goes back to the office lol
As a smoker and someone who needs airflow, I use the moonroof everyday (even cracked), I also do not like chrome, so with the platinum trim you don’t have the chrome.
I think they should make a TRD Offroad package for the Platinum. They do it in the SR5, Limited and 1794 so why not Platinum?
I fold my mirrors in all the time.
I use the cool seats far more often than the heated seats.
I NEVER use my moonroof. Wish I didn’t have it.
Cool vid. Thanks
Hey Tundra Dude, Wes here. I have 2014 Limited, and the one main feature that you have in the platinum that I wish I had was the "Memory Seats" . I do love having the electric seat, but I have to manually move seat back to get out.
Thanks , good video . I use the mirror function all the time. Just sold my 2013 tundra for a new one. Good tips!
Good info. I have a SR5 now and think the Limited without Moonroof would be my next choice with parking sensors, BSM, and heated seats.
Good video, Mark. You should do a flip to this video and talk about the extras you love, like maybe auto moving seat when shutting it down.....
Bought my 2019 Tundra Platinum in late October last year, saved a good chunk of money on it since they already had 2020s out by then. I use the power fold mirrors a good amount when parking on the road or in tight spots. The only bad thing about them is that I live in Canada and when we get a snowstorm they freeze shut sometimes. I’m also a big fan of the sunroof and rear window. I can see myself using them a lot more in the summer, especially the rear window for backing up trailers or launching my boat.
Totally agree with you on the moonroof. It seems to always come standard on the higher trim levels with Toyota, so I have had them on a few vehicles now. I seldom, seldom use it. However, I love my heated/cooled seats and the cooled seats is a must in my hot desert climate. For me, the folding side mirrors is a must and I couldn't fit in my garage without them.
I use the folding mirrors everyday so that I can fit the Tundra in the garage. The cooled seats keep my back from sweating as I love having the windows down in the summer. And the sunroof is opened several times a week. 😃
I think this video answered my question from your last video
I love my powered folding mirrors because that’s the only way it will fit in my garage.
Mark, I have to point out a couple more things that make those platinum mirrors even better than just the auto folding aspect. One, is they also have auto dimming built into them, very nice feature! And also, they have the larger blinking arrows in them, which I find great to have especially for lane changes during freeway use. These blinking lights catch my attention all the time with other trucks that have them. These features are why I’m going to try like hell to figure out how to retrofit them into my 2018 Limited Tundra. There has to be a way! Thx
I have a '20 SR5 4x4 Crewmax with added options and I don't mind not having the extra stuff you mentioned. The only thing I miss is leather seats. I hate cloth.
I 100% agree that the moon roof allows too much heat in when the shade is open. However, you don’t use the cooled seat?!! On a hot summer day, sitting on any leather seats, you will get a case of swamp butt. I think you should just come out and say you dont mind having swamp ass lol
One of my favorite features on my 2021 TRD Pro double cab is it does NOT have a moon roof. Here in Texas where I live it is always too damn hot to have it open, and once your vehicle gets around 15 years old that sun and heat has destroyed the rubber seals causing you to replace them at a very high price. My family Honda Odyssey required me to replace the seals since it is now 16 years old, and it cost me $1200 for Honda to take the roof apart, remove the rubber gaskets and seals, replace the headliner, and get the job done. It was leaking and I had no choice but to replace it.
Moonroofs are a nightmare if you keep the vehicle long enough.
Mark that is why I bought in 2018 a limited TRD off-road package over to platinum and save myself a ton of money I would do it all over again somethings you just don’t need mine has everything I want
I totally agree..
My limited has retractable mirrored.
But as a younger man, I don't think you appreciate the creature comforts of the platinum... i look forward to moving on up to a 1794...
For me the the cooled seats are essential living in Georgia, it is insanely hot here for 6 months out of the year and warm for another 3 months, only cool-cold for about 3 months December-February
I have a 2009 Limited and I have the JBL Sound system and power folding mirrors, heated but not cooled seats and moon roof. My guess is that they changed the packages around in subsequent model years a bit. I rarely use the moon roof but I use the heck out of the rear window roll down. That is just cool. They should never get rid of that.
In March 2019 was torn between the Platinum and Limited. It came to color. I couldn’t find a Platinum in Cement Gray. So I went with a Limited. I really wanted the TRD Pro in Voodoo Blue but I wanted the luxury features of the Platinum. But couldn’t get the Platinum in Voodoo Blue. So went with 2nd Choice Cement Gray Limited and made a huge Mod List.

Old School yea, I know bad timing I watch Mark’s channel because I was in the market because wanted to wait but My car died lol . Now that I’m in a Crewmax . I got a good deal with 0% for 72 months.
Really??...this video is kinda surprising, I love all 3 of those features on my 2020 Platinum!...to each their own I guess, love the videos man!
Wife just traded her 2019 Camry for a 2020 RAV4... smh. But we got a great deal and the awd is something that I appreciate for her safety. This has put my tundra purchase on hold a while longer. But I was one of the ones wanting the platinum especially because it had less chrome. But the limited has grasped my attention as of late and like you said it has just the features I need. I’m hoping the upcoming tundras have more of these luxury features trickle down to the lesser models in the near future.
I live on a narrow street My GMC had the power fold mirrors. I do miss them. Folding the driver side one in and out at least once a day gets old
I also hardly ever use the moon roof! Also like the TRD package ect. Thanks
My mirrors fold. Use them all the time. I have a Tundra 2013 Limited addition.
The cooled seats work best when the air conditioner is on. On a hot summer day they’re the best!
I know your not talking the exterior but I don't believe you can get chromeless front on the Limited which is another reason I purchased the 2021 Wind Chill Pearl Platinum. I did get paint protection film on the entire front of the truck and just enough on the hood, maybe the same amount of protection as the deflector would give you, work done by Chicago Auto Pros for $1500. I did the upgrade of the tailgate lock, Plug & Play, Tinted two front windows to match others from the factory and also did the windshield though it is illegal.The best music add on was an amplifier for $450 and now my audio system Kicks Ass! Enjoy your video's, have a great life!
Don't forget get if you go Limited - you get chrome bumpers which will cost you to change. I prefer color matched and sensors. I find fold in mirrors on a large truck and proximity key are features that really useful...
Also heated steering wheel is another feature Toyota should add - all of the competition has it...
The only reason why I got the platinum is because of the cooled seats. When it gets hot in the Carolinas it helps cool my down. And when driving on long trips, it keeps me cool.
Not a fan of the moon roof because it has a damper that goes up and down at around 50mph.
Like the folding mirrors when parking in tight spots and when washing the truck at the auto car wash.
Put a new Kentwood radio in the truck. I helps the sound 100%. Great radio and sound now. Also put a camera on the front of the truck so I can see immediately in front of the truck or if turning right when I cant see a car stoped at a stop sign.
I have NO USE for a sun roof , Love cooled seats out here and like the folding mirrors on the Lincoln but they fold automatically when you lock the car
The only reason I have a sun roof on my truck is it came with it. Otherwise, I rarely gets used. And if not careful using them too much, they leak
Once you taste sugar, there is no going back. 2 out of the three almost daily. My wife likes the heated seat on the passenger side, I use both. It’s nice to have the option. Stalls are tight here, so the auto mirrors is a luxury I’m now categorizing as a need. And like you the moon roof was a must at purchase, but I don’t use it at all.
Im getting the platinum because it has the most chrome, and it has the very bright artic white. The other ones have to much black but I'm old school Ill take chrome any day
Folding mirrors are good for automated car washes. I use my sun roof/ moon roof every day. 😂 Moon is to look out at the sky and sun roof to air out the truck. Everything I've driven in 20 years has to have the sun roof. 😂
Platinum the best value in my humble opinion, and yes sir, I use all those features regularly. Btw your exhaust sounds awesome…V8😊
I am buying a Platinum level Tundra in April/2020 for exactly 2 of those 3 reasons. Power folding mirrors on tight 4x4 trails are a must. Also the monochromatic matching paint for the front and rear. I can't stand any chrome trim or bumpers on trucks, period. Oh I wish Toyota would offer the Platinum level package on the TRD Pro model. But that's why we have lots of off-road suspension specialist here in Colorado.
WHAT! I would kill for those platinum mirrors to be put in my 2018 Limited. I’m looking into seeing if there’s still a possibility to install these, but some are saying it needs a completely different wiring harness.
Limited with TRD off road package would be good for me.
In Louisiana you would use the cooled seats quite often
lol. Yes, even in North Carolina, sometimes the heat can crank to 95+ YOU WILL USE THE 'COOL SEAT' lol
I have the limited and like it but you don’t get the color matched grill and front bumper like you get on the platinum.
i like my limited overall however no memory seats in a 50k truck is ridiculous.
Living in Texas i would kill for the cooled seats during the summer
533hornet Take him to church
Ventilated seats are definitely a must, you're nuts
back into a tight garage daily and those mirrors are sweet. moonroof at night when its clear out is awesome. and heated leather seats in canada, yes please. nice try charlie.
What about the seats, with the extra adjustment over limited. I’m all about that seat comfort
Do you think the limited and the pro have similar ride comfort on paved roads?
Let me tell you this i have one of those i love back Window and moon roof when i drive on summer nothing better
When negotiating on a brand new Tundra what kind of deals have you guys got? I have bought 4 new ones and got 10 percent off MSRP on all. I know they say basing a deal off that number is bad, but I have been happy. Anyone doing better than that?
I need the power folding mirror!!!!
Hello Tundra Dude. Great info. Thanks for all you do. I have a dilemma! I’m about to pull the trigger on a 2020 Tundra up here in Canada. It’s between the Trd off road premium or the Trd sport premium. This year there are no Limited up here in the great white north . The premium upgrade gives you leather & everything I guess the limited has but with the sr5 badging. What say you about these two choices ? Your right about the Platinum. There is about a $10,000 difference in price between the Platinum & the premium.
I gotta be honest, i love the TRD Off Road package, so i would aim that way. But thats just me! 😁👍🏼
TundraDude34 Is the the ride that much different between the Trd off road & the Trd sport?
Does the Platinum have heated steering wheel? I wish my Limited had a heated steering wheel.
Those power folding mirrors are half-ass done that is why there is no much use of them. Toyota should add few bytes of programming to make them folding/unfolding automatically when car is locked and unlocked
If Limited would get rid of all that chrome, I'd be willing to consider one.
We Just Bought a Used 2015 Platinum Crewmax To replace our 2010 limited Crew Max. The 2010 is a lot nicer and Easier for us old people to use. The 2010 leather Seats are much better feeling. The Rear Seats in the 2010 are 100x better with the adjustable fore and aft feature along with being able to put stuff under them. Maybe the 2015 will grow on us. but the 2010 was going to be sold and I'm thinking on keeping it as a spare or sell it to our kids.
The 2010 also just feels bigger inside for some reason. We've been bouncing back and forth all day and something is just off with the 2015... Agree. We'll never use the folding feature in the mirrors, We'll never use most of the techy crap in the dash, We'll never use the cooling seats esp here in Northren Canada. The way the hood Opens is a pain also. We liked the all one pc on the 2010 for us older people. 2015 seems like a cheaper version some GM designer came in on.
The sun roof gets used fellows! DOGS. When they are in the truck I open the sunroof for air for the dogkids.
This video's makes sense , this is why I chose and I am 110% happy with my 19' Tundra in SR5 Plus trim . Everything you need and nothing you don't . 👍
Jordon Cloutier SR5 is the way to go 👍🏻 that trim is to most customizable
@@Kevin257 yes sir !
I use all three huge !
I wish the power mirrors were automatic. I use my moon roof and back window all the time. Fresh air seats are nice but not like a wow feature to be honest. But one thing I would love but can't justify is that supercharger.
I lower my back window every time I pass a raptor or ram...
Air conditioned seats would be nice, but I have never liked a moon roof or folding mirrors. Heated seats are awesome, but I don't like leather seats... cloth is much more luxurious to me.
I have a 2005 tundra limited with TRD package and I love it. I hope to be buying a 2019 this year just like my 2005 but in a 2019 model. What do you all think?
I also love my moonroof in tilt mode with the back window down a couple inches. Great airflow here in northern CA!
Ah man, I love power folding windows! I had mine set to do it automatically so they are never not folded. And the cooled seat!!! Come on it’s the best!
How do you set on auto fold?
When I buy a truck, it must be 4x4. Yet, I use 4x4 once every 2 years. These things are just "better to have it, than not to have it." Also, the TRD off package ain't nothin in a Tundra. A skid plate, decals and some bilstein shocks that you can get at pep boys for a few hundred bucks. Funny how people see a TRD decal on the truck and are so amazed..
I’m still waiting for you to help me purchase one, like 5k in cash, 5k in cash coupons etc... 😂😂😂😂. Jk bud. Thanks for the heads up 👍👍
I use the cooled seats 90% of the time. That’s just me. I used the power folding mirrors a few time a month. Moon roof I agree don’t ever use it.
I just purchased a 2017 Platinum with 70.000 miles. While driving home I noticed an irregular humming sound coming from under vehicle. You can actually feel vibration with the humming.
Can you give ant advice?
Just to be safe, bring it into a toyota dealer to get looked at, especially if you just bought it. Does it have an aftermarket exhaust?
I like the diamond sticking and black interior of the Platinum. Limited has a brown wood looking trim on the dash i don’t like. But some like it. Not a fan of the moon roof. Save some money. Hate the chrome handles and mirrors on both trims. Hope the new tundra has a darker headliner. Light grey is ugly and stains easy.
I know this is an old video but Do those seats get hot in the summer? Does the seat ventilation work well? If so how long does it take for the seats to cool? Thanks!
The ventilation is ok, they aren’t cooled, they just have a fan
@@TundraDude34 gotcha thanks
Turn the ac on and open the roof😉
Moonroof, had a few vehicles with them, did not use at all.
Mirrors electric? Nah, regular mirrors, seats heated, love the heated seats.
Not to be a smart ass but if the air in your cab is conditioned than unless it’s pulling air from outside it’s blowing conditioned air through your seat.
So what are the differences between the limited and the sr5 with trd sport package.
Leather and some luxury features, like the optional moonroof, optional jbl, heated seats etc
@@TundraDude34 ah ok so the leather is eh not my thing I added heated seats. They do not do the moonroof with a double cab I'm assuming? Auto climate control is nice but I can do without so it sounds like a loaded sr5 with sport package and the sport convenience package is pretty close to a limited sounds cool to me
whats the difference between the leather seats in a new trd pro, Limited and Platinum?
Limited and trd pro are a tougher, more rugged leather. Platinum and 1794 are perforated leather
@@TundraDude34 I’m a big dude so back support on long drives is also a concern. Do you feel more support with platinum over Limited and TRD PRO. Or is the support the same just the feel of the leather that’s different.
The support is the same, but the stiffer leather in the pro and limited seem to help. I strongly suggest test driving both to see what you think
platinum also has blind spot that Limited doesn't...Am I correct?
Limited has blind spot monitoring also
@@TundraDude34 ah ok. so what'a more on a platinum? vented seats?
Was going to buy a tundra but I think I’m going to wait for the Tesla cybertruck instead.
Definitely not in the south if your using heated seats in the summer.
Mark your list is pretty normal. I think most people hardly use a lot of their vehicles features. My wife has a sunroof and she has literally never opened it in 3 years. I only drive 7000 miles a year so I'd rather save the money. I view my trucks as tools that look nice too. My bank account and my house mean more to me than power mirrors and cooled seats.
I hardly use my sunroof on my 14 Limited. The wife gets a headache from the sun beating down on her head so I just got used to driving around with the shade closed, as far as power folding mirrors? I obviously don't have them on my truck but my wife's Audi has them..never used. Cooled seats? I would never buy a vehicle with all those holes in the leather to begin with.
Wow way to many trd this, trd that, Trd off road can you explain that.
Limited Double Cab TRD OR FTW.
Show off! 😏 lol
I would use the 💩 out of those features! Then again I live in Cali...😎 We have better weather than Jersey. 😉
Team SR5 TRD Off-Road over here, but if I was gonna go Limited, might as well go Platinum! Go hard or go home! Clearly I “went home” because I went with the SR5, because I NEED a 6 passenger 🤷🏻♂️
I went the "go hard or go home" route. My 2019 Platinum is my dream truck. I don't care about the moon roof, as it throws too much glare on the touch screen when it's open. The rest of the luxury features are great.
Cooled seats. Conditioned seats. What is the difference ?
Cooled seats have an actual cooling mechanism, ventilated seats are just fans
@@TundraDude34 so what comes in the Tundra?
Ventilated
@@TundraDude34 thank you for info. seriously. I was looking for a platinum just for that feature. I thought it’s the actual aircon blowing through the seats. Sounds like a fan is a waste of money. But they say the leather is better on the platinum. Might be better just getting the limited. Looking for a 2012 or 2013.
My best advice is do not take a platinum for your first test drive....But how much are cool nuts worth??
Aesthetically, the exterior on the Platinum is better. I also cannot stand wood grain trim on the interior of the limited. It's all up to the owner I suppose. Once you are are in the 50's I don't really see where 3K makes much of a difference anymore.
I will trade you mirrors!! Lol.. sunroof you will use . If was detachable I'd buy it lol... I want a panorama sunroof like ford and other models. But heard never do it wont last and will leak
Im pretty confident panoramic is coming out soon, my brother bought a 2018 camry recently and along with a red leather interior it also has a panoramic. Lets see how it holds up haha
@@ALItm1 i saw that commercial!!! Wow that's right... humm.. I traded my 2014.5 Camry for my tundra ; - )
@@ALItm1 if they are coming than maybe a add on. Can be done. Hopefully roof specs are not different. And not particular to ccrew cab. As I have a double cab. And super mad dont come with sliding rear window.
Deon Baker hopefully the crewmax comes with a 6.5 bed at least so you can make the switch lol
Do away with your intro music or at least cut it down to 2 or 3 seconds. It is offensive, assaulting, egregious and just flat out lame and it sucks. Other than the intro you have a good channel with good information.
Lol, sorry you feel that way and thanks at the same time 😁
