Here's Why The Toyota Camry TRD Isn't For Everyone - And It's Not Just Because Of The Looks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- The 2021 Toyota Camry TRD is the cheapest way to get into a new V6 Camry. It comes equipped with some flashy plastic aero bits, sportier suspension tuning and components, and lighter weight wheels, making this sedan feel much more agile and fun to drive compared to the more vanilla Camrys. However, the TRD trim does make a lot of sacrifices, some which may completely turn you off from it.

If no one wants their Camry TRD and is not satisfied, I will humbly and graciously accept it.
Same here, i have the luxury of working for a toyota dealer and i always look at this car everytime it comes off the transport truck
@@gdcardona91 Would you recommend getting it over say a speced out Honda Accord? I’m deciding which one imma invest in
@@Colin-bt7yd i personally would go with the camry. I personally like the look and the handling of the camry. The camry has the same V6 as the lower XSE trim of the camry but the trd has better handling. Also the trd camry may be hard to find as once they arrive on the lot they are gone within a day or 2 because toyota is only releasing 4k trd camrys per year.
@@gdcardona91 The other two Toyota that i’ve driven both have very light gas and break, while i tend to prefer the gas and break of say BMWs, how would you compare that to the new Toyota TRD? how bout the gas and break of the honda? that’s mainly what i’m basing my decision on, oh and the steering wheel tightness, how is that on the toyota? i prefer lighter steering and heaving break/gas
meant brake, not break, sorry
"Rediculos read wing." That's probably the most tame wing I have ever seen honestly...
Idk the wing is pretty odd looking on my opinion
@@lscstudios4637 you ever seen a Honda civic type R or a WRX STI? Now those wings are ridiculous.
@@TehAntiSpammer Definitely agree on the Type R but I kinda dig the sti wing, its more about the odd shape of the trd wing that makes it look odd to me
Knowing me I would take off the stock wing and put a aftermarket one
Check out the Avalon TRD's wing. Now that's tame.
Appreciate all the knowledge I bought one yesterday, and while I was waiting for finalizing, I started watching this video. Didn’t even know I had paddle shifters. Absolute fun car to drive, sounds great looks great and very very quick, if your behind the wheel you don’t even realize it’s a Camry
You can turn off the eco mode btw
@@Ishowquickness i know brother, i appreciate it though..
@@Ishowquickness The_illest_trd
lol how old is this .. 0:39 , exhaust already rusting....
"reliable toyotas"
@@Microphunktv-jb3kj mines over a year, old. And still as clean as the day I bought it.
I been watching a lots car review, now I found your channel excellent work. I like the way you review talked very clearly, details, and not complain too much about the car.
Thank you for reviewing the 21 Camry TRD!! There really isn't a lot of reviews for this model but yours is one of the best.
Got the 2023 trd in the underground color. So mean looking. That v6 kicks in and beasts the road when i need it. I’m very happy
I just got mine yesterday! Super nice!! Looks great!! No regrets! Same as in the video!
Just got this exact model and color like 3 days ago and I absolutely love it!
Amazing review brother. I just became a big fan. God bless you.
I have one and its better than I expected it would be. This definitely is the best review so far. Why haven't I seen this channel before?? I would have subscribed sooner.
Clear, informative, and professional review
Also put in the fact that they will last twice as long as other car companies except Honda- their even.
They’re *
No, my bmws last longer than my toyotas
@Azael I tested it multiple times so jokes on you
But other brands will give you twice more pleasure driving them . I have 2019 camry xle 2.5 hybrid. It turns like a cow vary sluggish and heavy . Try breaking to a full stop from 80mph , garbage breaks that overheat really easy wich is safty hazard . Clear coat is really bad quality and after year of normal washes have tons of scratches on it . Metal is vary thing and have really bad sound insulation. Im not even talking about harsher suspension compared to other brands. Plastic and leather are garbage, they squeak badly when you push or tuch it and no one talks about that .Yes it looks nice but its not thought out and feels bad. Ride quality is garbage , only people who think its good are people who driven only toyotas and hondas. That 8 speed is not even close of my 2012 VW passat smoothnes or ride quality , noice is better too and leather still looks like new in my 2012 passat that have 177k mi on it and nothing went wrong except normal maintenance . I have more pleasure and fun driving my 9 year old passat then almost new 2019 camry . Passat is not hybrid but gives me same or better mpg then camry hybrid . Even my friends kia k5 feels and drives much more premium then camry and cost less. CAMRY IS WAY OVER RATED . The reason maitnance cost more on any other car is because they have more technology , more modern and way more efficient . Toyota uses ancient technology wich wont progress much and charges fools like you and me more for not developing anything and just upgrading old stuff and call it reliable . Why arent you using flip phone or old nokia 3310 which is simple and will last you for ever then ? I also had 2000 bmw 740il which had over 220k mi on it because i do my maitnance way early then manufacturer suggest . Most people think that you just have to put new oil in every now and then and thats it . READ THE MANUAL and do everything early and you will have good experience with most cars . And yes if you want a car that wount break if you miss oil change sure buy toyota with old ancient technology, garbage interior that looks good but feels garbage and wears out fast, really bad performance and ride quality then go ahead , but dont try to justify your buying overpriced ancient car with nice candy wrap on it and call it modern good car . My 9 year old passat beats your new camry in almost any category -efficiency, ride quality, interior quality , material quality , more powerful, and i feel like more reliable cause when i was yound i had 1998 corolla manual which had transmission and wheel bearing issues around 110k mi . I honestly thinking of selling that 2019 camry and buying kia k5 gt with 2.5 turbo engine cause i really liked my friends kia k5.
@@JB-ut7mu keep dumping money into cars that are built by companies that think they have to re invent the wheel every 3 years. I prefer the guys that design something reliable and then refine based on continuous improvement. If you have money to burn on fancy toys that break easily then this is not for you. If you want the most solid all around vehicles money can buy get a Toyota. I test drove comparable k5 and Camry bc wife dragged me out to look at the. today and u are honestly smoking crack. There was no comparison.
Rented one today. Really not a car person but I can see myself in one of these everyday. The are pretty damn quick
Great review!
In 2019 I wanted the SE with the v6 since I did not want the glass roof and auto dimming mirror, which is very ineffective, but they did not offer it, so I ended up with an '18 xse v6.
I just want to appreciate you refrencing the celica. I had a 2000 celica gt (yes I know), but it was a lot of fun to drive
Love your videos
This is very weird, here in Canada, Camry TRD has the heated seat on both front seat (but no heated steering wheel, though I can say it's not much of a problem for the fabric of the steering doesn't make it freezing cold).
great video thanks - two things - dude you have to find a track (where you don't have to worry about ice/snow) so you can test drive your cars properly - also you did not mention that this TRD has better breaks (2 piston vs 1 for all other Camrys) installed with painted red calipers
Thanks for watching! Yeah I have to find a proper spot with no snow. It’s a tough part of the year right now though. Yes, you’re right about the brakes, I forgot to mention it. these are bigger by a tiny bit (.9”) and with more pistons. Thank you!
In love with the look but so disappointed in the limited features 🥲
That's because to keep the cost of a v6 reasonable.
@jeffreyfurtado3681 and that's what makes the car worth it , as much as is limited it still has alot of worth of what your paying for
I agree i got a 22 v6 instead of trd and i could always add myself
it’s a more sports sedan, go buy a kia
Good review
Needs options to install turbo/super chargers as standard, manual transmission, and also xse options. There's a car I can buy already that's as quick in turns as the Toyota, with the only exception being horsepower. And the speed at which it tops out at can probably be fine tuned given time since it doesn't use a electronic cvt
Good review sir. I really wish they offered heated seats and a moonroof.
Great review.
I have Camry trd 2021 I love it CANT be happier it’s sporty and reliable
Doesn't look ridiculous at all, very beautiful, basically we need a TRD Pro Camry (TRD+XSE treatment with more horses)
Got my wife the first one our dealership received. I gave up my ‘15 Jeep Wrangler JK. But the grandkids LOVE riding in granny’s new “race car”😂😂😂
Lmao @ that celica comercial i had forgotten all about that one.
WHIPPERSNAPPERS !!!
(Always ..snapping your whips...)
I got the Camry TRD on order because it is a reasonable priced car considering its power, but with NA and toyota reliability. That V6 is indestructible. Only a few cars are similar in power/weight for the money, but you are going to turbo engines that won't nast near as long nor have that nice NA throttle response. Mostly though, I wanted specifically Toyota's V6 and this is the best package that has it. I don't need all the XSE bling. While some stuff might be nice, don't need it for the money. Just maybe the sunroof, but eh.
They call it an XSE, but really it is an uptiered SE
I love your videos!!And I commented on the one you did on the Subaru Legacy that I love and is the best car I have ever owned. Great job! My question is the Camry comes with all wheel drive now and do you think it’s better than the Legacy? Thanks my friend!
First of all: thank you for watching!! Subaru AWD systems are different that they’re permanent and operate all the time. Whereas the Camry, and a lot of other FWD based awd systems transfer torque via an electronically controlled clutch, when needed.
I think Subaru AWD will be better because those vehicles have been designed optimally for AWD use. Part time AWD systems are decent, but if I absolutely need AWD, Subaru would be a good first choice.
Just use your phone with the navigation. Plug it in and it comes up on the screen. People have gotten way to soft for all the extra crap 😂😂
Back in 2018, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wasn’t available in the Camry so that map button was essentially useless unless you got the expensive trim at the time
I have the 2019 xse v6 but without the navigation. The reason I didn't get it was because I never liked any navigation in any car. I always use Google maps.
@@LuV2SPDup that's what I use and it comes up on the screen.
Great Reaction to the Camry 👍🏻👍🏻
I don’t know. I drive a 2018 Impala V6 as a daily driver and picked it up off a lease. I now have 60000 miles on it. I don’t baby the car at all, but I do maintain it. It is a big car, but I can hustle it. Looking to trade it in along with a convertible that does more sitting than I like. One thing I don’t like on more modern well equipped cars are all the driver assistance technology that is built in. I don’t want the car to panic because it can’t see the lines in the road…I got this. This ride appeals to me.
I’ve purchased this exact car! Waiting for it to arrive from Georgetown! 2 more weeks...😎
I got mine January 1 2021
Did u get it
I'm driving a 2019 XSE V6. I wanted to upgrade to a 2022 model and was considering the TRD. I almost went for it, but than I watched a few videos and decided that I don't want it because it doesn't have some of the things I have right now. Why change to a lower package after having all those good things.....
One Toyota dealership in NY wanted to push the TRD to me so bad, they literally lied about the car. They tried convincing me that it is much better than the one I have 🤣🤣🤣🤣. They really wanted my car because it has a low payout amount after I had it leased for 3 years. They can sell it for $30,000 after burying mine out for $17,000
Yeah, ok...... I've been waiting for my 2022 Silver XSE V6 since the end of September. It should arrive sometime in mid January, but the built date is December 20th, so I'm hoping they will get it to the dealer much sooner
I love it, I’d only buy a hybrid model though, fuel here in Europe is €2 a litre, not a gallon a lousy litre
That map button is tragedy 😭
if you plug your phone it and start navigation the maps works 100%!! - trd owner
@@Tiffzoid1234 4reals? Like Apple maps/ Android Auto?
@@ENTJ47 yesss !!!
Stock Navigation in any Toyota is garbage anyways. But to not add it and having the button is a lil sad....
@@Tiffzoid1234 i have a TRD how i do that?
wish my 2020 se was manual. has a cat back quad exaust system on coilovers. tripple beam headlights lexus v3 style taillights and carbon fiber interior pieces and carbon wing with aero kit. gets looks everywhere and doesn’t sound to bad for a 4 banger. reminds me of my 2015 wrx i had.
Salesman at my local Toyota dealer says TRD is just a tuned up base SE model with a V6 engine. Well, he made my choice that much more easy. I chose a fully loaded V6 XSE trim.
You can buy the spoiler 3rd party for $159 lol
I do work for a state troopers post. I was asking how fast the chargers are. He said fast, but they can't catch that new race car camry is putting out. I'd say that was a glowing endorsement.
Man if only I can find one to buy! Has the factory lines/distribution been hit by Corona or are is there a lag for the 2021s to show up in inventory?
They only produce 6000 a year for the TRD, that plus production making them pretty difficult to find
I own a 2020 XSE v6 w silver black roof red interior fully loaded and I absolutely love mine 😍
I also don’t mind the 2021 infotainment placement. I’ve seen worse. (Ford Explorer cough cough”)
That red interior is 🔥
@@ShiftingLanes agreed. That red is 😍😍
Id totally get one of these if the winters where I live weren't so harsh. The lowered ride height along with the FWD only seems like winter would be a pain
Most fwd cars do just fine in winter with good tires
My concern is with the the smaller wheel gap. Snow is just going to get caught all day in that wheel well. I'm almost tempted to get the LE Hybrid with steelies. The gas mileage is ridiculous.
Fwd is good for winter you just don't want a Rwd they are a pain in the winter
Even rwd is good in winter if the car is heavy enough and you know how to drive and use winter tires. I have never driven an awd car or suv. They are more complicated mechanically and have their own problems that two wheel drive cars don’t have
I live in Canada and we have real winters and have never wanted to get a tall suv just really good or new winter tires
Thanks for the review. You talked me into NOT buying one. I don't care much for most of the bell and whistles, but heat seats and auto-dim mirrors are some sort of priority. So, back to the drawing board.
This needs to be my next car. I just lost my Mazda 3 sport :( but this will be a nice upgrade :)
Considering getting this this week lol, I love my current 2007 Camry but I need something new
I got the le awd with cold weather package. Gonna add a few trd parts on mine. And I can make my own trd. But for that price range I needed the awd and heated seats or the car wasn't worth it for the money to me.
i don't know, my '08 FJ with no sway bars is pretty darn fun to drive corners in!
That was my favorite sport sedan until Hyundai Sonata N-Line in golf appeared in front of my block! It was Breath taking!
To bad you cant mix and match things from this with the xse. The xse as a whole is better but i would add all the exterior stuff from the trd (minus the headlights, way better on the xse) and trd exhaust, the exhaust is way better on the trd version.
I have the 2020 Camry TRD and I love mine.
Does it has the LED lights !?
@@AlejandroRamirez-gk6om nah
XSE V6 for me i need heated and cooled seats, navigation and of course the double sunroof
People complaining about the lack of technology in the trd doesnt understand the purpose of the trd which is having power, lighter weight at a lower cost
Great review, don’t take this car to ikea, the seats DO NOT go down
Practical, reliable and sporty. What else could u want
Also 2021 TRD come with black housing both head and taillights if ain’t wrong which is cool. I don’t mind bout technology just connect apple car play and you good. (In my opinion)
What does black housing mean
I remember when TRD meant having a manual transmission.
*cries in retro* 😭
Manual too slow compared to automatic plus Ted is 8 speed
Trd*
@@PNWdays automatic 🥱
They should’ve put The APEX Edition on the GT86 & Just made the Corollas a XSR with The Camrys 2.4
I'm wondering if they have bolt on Turbo kits available for it. This Lotus engine is used in super cars and is capable of much more. I absolutely hate the spoiler though. If I got one I might actually remove it lol.
I don’t understand why people constantly complain about lack of features the only reason it does is so it can go faster, it’s a sport sedan not a luxury car
Technically it's not a true sports car. It's a V6 not a V8. Come on now. It's a basic level sports car
i have the xse, was thinking of trading in for the trd but now after this video nvm i need them heated seats
Mine has it
@@nebojsavorkapic2116 your what
No supersonic red for 2021.
Ice edge
Wind chill
Black
I totally forgot about that Celica commercial, took me by surprise and fucking sent me.
Will this be as reliable as other Camrys? I drive 200+ miles a day and I want to get something that won’t break the bank, but I can have some fun with on my way to my work appointments (roofing sales go to peoples homes around the state)
Hey man, this car with that naturally aspirated V6 is one of the most reliable cars you can get! Its a fantastic engine, it could last you 300k+ miles! Just always remember to keep up with your maintenance! Im currently saving up for a TRD, hoping to get one within the next year or two.
This car is totally for me . I usually gut my cars anyways ,if it weighs its gone ! 🤣
yeah... the limitation is what kills SOOO many buyers.... if it had heated seat. then i would 100$ buy it cuz i live in canada up north where is gets pretty cold... and not having heated seat is pretty much driving a car but from the outside
Can you tell me where can I find me one of these MSRP I want one
Love the looks of it inside and out. Not sure I could go without navigation though. I drive a lot and like to travel. Does the TRD have android auto?
Yes it does. I have one and love it.
@@EM-hq7hv that's all I need then, thanks
Who in the world using navigation when we have google maps ??? Yes it hwd 🍎 and android
The sunroof and the push start button would've made this car a 9/10
I got the 2021 xse v6 and it’s great all around panoramic moon roof is a 10/10 for me love the car.. and I’ll get some modifications done if that was something I end up wanting for it
Very jealous....I just dislike the seats. The design of them. I know it's the luxury brand but the Lexus ES seats are amazing. Wished they went with something similar to those.
how much u got
Can someone please answer my question?? I own a 2018 Camry XSE. I want the TRD chin spoiler, side skirts,
Rear diffuser and spoiler. Is this possible and compatable for my XSE?
Someone in the comment section claim you can get the trd body kit on the xse
Soon as I get my trd im putting a intercooler a blow off valve and a turbo kit
Can you get the TRD in AWD?
Looks great to me👍👍.
Just wish like at least one car manufacturer would make a car that has performance specs similar to this but doesn't look ridiculous it doesn't have all the extra luxury stuff that nobody really wants and it was affordable
I like the look, the interior red and black I could do without....PC building destroyed that color scheme for me with quite literally every company using it until RGB became king allowing for color choice and more muted themes beyond lighting of your choosing.
Also thank dog for no moon roof, I've never wanted one. Only time I thought it kind of cool was as a kid when I first experienced it, ever since it's been a waste of space and money, but always forced in packages.
I ordered a Camry Trd, got it in July. Love the looks and the quickness. Very satisfied with it.
Awesome review. Thanks. I hate that the paddles is the one shifting method not recommended for the track. Lame, toyota wth?
2021 Lexus IS350 RWD vs 2021 Toyota Camry TRD? Comparison?
The maps button works over android auto/apple carplay
lol my 02 Camry v6 has heated seats crazy I can’t get it as an option in this 20 years later
Yeah but does your 02 make 301 naturally aspirated HP?
U cam mine has it
Mane that 2.5 liter in that se.... it very quick and pit Pump 89 gas in that camry and watch you outrun alot of car on the expressway . And that camry doesn't loose power when hitting corners very fast trust me. I tested up to 120 while racing a hellcat challenger and Kia stinger. Because the camry so light and fill so planted when hitting corners hard at high speed.
I’m getting one pretty soon very excited
I got mine last Sunday it’s amazing
You won't regret it. I love mine.
I love mine I just got it January 1
I got mine 2 weeks ago
I just got mine 2 weeks ago in pearl white. It's quick!! Lol
I wonder if you can request navigation. How hard would it be to put it in the system
Phone hooks up for nav. Easy and nice apple play
@@PNWdays it has apple car play? Omg
Was interested in one of these but not after this video. I need heated seats and navigation. Plus I want to be able to fold the rear seat down. Thanks for this video
It has nav. Apple car play.
Navigation works if u have android auto or apple carplay on ur phone
How much mostly the price?
I LOVE MY TRD!!! SO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE!
Me too!
Still like it??
Does it drive good in the snow?
@Lina Luna do you still like it
They look badass! Definitely a lot better and sharper than previous models.
Nice reveiw would u trade ur veloster for that Camry?
That’s a negative :). I love the Veloster N a lot more.
He wouldn’t but I would I personally think the veloster is ugly
Unpopular opinion: I’m coming from a 2014 Camry SE and prefer the options with the TRD due to the simplicity.
Why would they get rid of the red
I love the Commercial. Epic.
I just bought a 2023 TRD. The bottom line with the Camry 3.5 is this: People will be crying when the naturally aspirated 3.5Toyota engines go away. With proper maintenance it blow awat all others such as BMW, VOLVO, MERCEDES as a daily driver with very low maintenance and will easily run 350K miles. Not so for other cars. A reputation that cant be beat. Same with Lexus ES350 bsse or Fport.
Just purchased the Camry (Hybrid) and want it to look like this 🥲. So sad , but I needed the gas saver
Yeah but it kinda defeats it's purpose of a hybrid, if you're putting in thousands in cosmetic upgrades instead of saving money on gas.
@@wooferjr169 ye but ur also helping the planet 👍🏼
I have the 2020 trd super sonic red.... my color is gone? Damn
Same here. Probably wouldn’t have bought it if I couldn’t get it that color 🤷🏽♂️
I have a 2020 SE black package blue tint this is the best car I’ve ever had 0 to 60 in who cares I love this car four-cylinder. The only thing I’m going to do is put a turbo in it.
How will people survive without heated seats or a panoramic sunroof? All this car needs is a manual transtransmission.
Looks better in person but i would go for the xse
I am looking to buy new car, and stuck between Mercedes facelift w212 e350 2015 v6 or CLS 500 v8 2015 or Camry TRD. it is hard to choose for me to be honest because every car give something and missing others .
It would still be warranteed of you did all this yourself. The dealer has to prove what you did to the vehicle actually caused the warrantee issue, and they never can, especially when all the pieces are installed and work correctly.
