My FOREVER Truck?! 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

- Could this be my "FOREVER TRUCK"? lol... Kind of crazy to say that out loud... Very unlikely for me to keep ahold of a truck "forever" BUT if any truck stands a chance, it's this 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro in Lunar Rock. I absolutely LOVE this 5.7L V8 Tundra TRD Pro. To me (in my very biased opinion), there is no better truck. This truck feels like a real truck... Something about this Tundra just offers a Rugged, Loud, Powerful, Raw, Visceral feeling... There's nothing quite like it. Having owned the new 2022+ Tundra before, I can honestly say that this V8 "old" version just feels better. Feels more reliable and far less synthetic. The hybrid iForce Max offers phenomenal performance figures, it just lacks something. Would you choose this 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro over a brand new 2024 Tundra TRD Pro or Trailhunter? If so, why? If not, why?
I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to watch this normal introduction of my "new to me" 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. Please consider Liking and Subscribing if you found any value in my content, I greatly appreciate your support. Thank you!
-Stay Untamed...

Forever = 2 months to this guy
Unfortunately, some people get really bored easily. But he’s still got the right to do whatever he wants with it. I’d personally keep this one forever, though. It’s going to be even more of a valuable car years from now.
lol I gave him extra month, I said 3 months
Don’t hate my brother. I’d do the same thing if I had the money.
LOL
@@mikeyID I think he means it as a light joke, knowing from previous vids how long he keeps his trucks. And yea if you got the money why not.
I find it kind of hilarious that all the reasons he loves this truck, like simplicity, durability, reliability… are all things he never takes advantage of because he trades everything in after 10,000 miles.
Oh and amazing resale 😉
Understand he’s running a TH-cam channel. He has to change out vehicles to keep us entertained. “Fresh Content”. No one wants to see the same truck over and over again.
@@mikeyIDthe irony of this statement is amazing! Nobody wants to see the same truck… this is the 5th time he’s purchased this truck.
Keep it. It lends to your credibility while you review other vehicles.
I used to be like you, I've probably purchased well over 50 vehicles in my life, never had one more than 6-12mo. Then I landed on Toyotas, I've had my 5.7L Sequoia for over 6 years. I've come to appreciate the reliability a lot, and trading/selling cars that frequently not financially smart. You can probably afford it with the channel, and you need to keep that freshy content, but you'll miss this Tundra when you sell it :).
Yeah I’ll definitely kick myself for letting this one go… come that time. I’m seriously going to try my best to keep it in the stable this time. 🤞🏻
@@UntamedMotors I had a 2017 Tundra TRD, bought it fresh from the showroom for 36k out the door...then sold it when I was at the tail end of my buy/sell kick I always go on. Still regretting it to this day...but the Sequoia has been better for the kiddos and vacations.
Don’t let this one go, you will regret it. Every household needs a truck for truck stuff.
Most people don’t need trucks, but you’re a good person for car companies though.
@@Art-si7cjmost household don’t even need a truck at all. Since everything can be delivered and if you need to move to a new house. You’ll just rent a U-haul truck anyway
It's not about need just a truck for just your "home".
There are numerous reasons you would enjoy a truck like this. Camping, off-roading, overlanding, and just great space and use overall.
If you can't afford this trim there's nothing wrong with getting the base sr5 for nearly 20k less.
Not everyone lives the same lifestyle lol
21 TRD Pro owner here approves. I could roll my eyes at a few things but overall, beast of a truck. I actually like those tires a lot too, never even considered them.
Keep it!
It definitely stands a chance to stick around a long time! =]
I have the same truck, I test drove a 24’ pro, it was a nice truck too but it didn’t offer enough of an improvement in any area for we to buy it. In fact, after driving both back to back, I can honestly say I enjoy the 21 more. Much better turn radius, real engine and exhaust sound, and has plenty enough power to do everything I want and some. I haven’t had a single issue with mine in 3 years of ownership. For me it’s very likely this will be my forever truck.
I think you did fine, especially when any electronic thing that goes wrong with new trucks out of warrenty could be thousands of dollars. Still driving my 2007, 5.7L with 167,000.00 miles and stll debating on doing what you just did. you are an inspiration, thanks.
My 2021 just hit 71,000 miles. Just bought my second set of Nitto Ridge Grappler's 285/70/18. Amazing tires on an amazing truck. My TRD Pro is a double cab because I need a full functioning bed. I have added RCI rocksliders, a lightbar in the hood, Leer tonneau cover, blacked out on the chrome in the cab, Stillen cold air intake, added a transmission cooler since I do a decent amount of towing between 5K-7K, and wash and wax her every month.
Keep up the great videos and enjoy the greatest 1/2 ton truck ever made.
After seeing the TFL Tacoma’s 4WD issue, I think you made the right decision.
i agree at this point but thats why you wait on buying the first year of a new model. this platform is tried and true however. i just saw that video and ouch that sound of whatever broke.
Havent even seen that with a tundra.
Well, we really do not know what the idiots at TFL did to that little Tacoma. So, I do not even blame the truck or Toyota for that. Yes, it is a brand new whatever gen, but I do not even know if it has a completely new transfer case compared to the previous one (it might), and it broke because is a new tech (blah-blah-blah: it is still a part-time 4x4 like the previous one). Yes, the Limited version gets a bit different transfer case, but the Off-Road version, come on.
My other point is, If you follow the books how to brake in a new truck/car, TFL did absolutely the opposite what it should be done. They do not care, a year later or sooner, they will sell the truck and it will become someone else's problem. TFL in my opinion are bunch of idiots. Enthusiasts my a**.
pretty sad not evern 4k miles and broken on the trail. my 80 series been doing that stuff for 30 years and still never broken anything
@@GoodSamLegend I agree 100% with everything you said! I have been saying that for a long time, the guy on "Driving Sports" is very similar to the TFL idiots as well. TFL has certain brands that they go to great lengths to trash and try and make them look bad. They especially like to try and make Toyota look bad. There are so many times you can tell that they are intentionally making the vehicles get stuck on easy terrain that a skilled driver might be able to drive through in 2WD. TFL is pure garbage!
I have 2015 TRD PRO Inferno that I will never let go. Nice truck!
Regret selling mine
I've seen this same truck (same color) for sale with no modifications for the same price you paid with far more miles. So no, you definitely did not overpay. You essentially got a new truck with such low miles!! This is an amazing truck. One of the best ever made and one that I too hope to own very soon. Congratulations!!
Wow that’s great to hear, thanks man! 🙏🏼
You got a great deal! Not a single one in the entire country with that low mileage. They are selling 30k+ miles for the same price and without all the goodies. Awesome buy!
Thanks man! I feel very fortunate to have found it! =]
I love this video. No matter how long you keep this one.
Your previous videos of this truck were a big part of my deciding to upgrade to this Tundra TRD Pro from my old 4Runner. I was going to place an order, however Toyota stopped production to move to the new V6 and I just happened to luck into a new 21 Lunar Rock TRD Pro (one of only two available in my state) at that time. 10,686 miles later KBB puts the trade in value at 52k with my original options. But I love this truck and plan to keep it. Thank you for your channel and sharing all the information you do.
Thanks brother! 🙏🏼
Appreciate that kind feedback. Glad I was able to help you in your decision to buy this amazing truck. There’s nothing quite like it imo. 👌
I’m biased too! I have the same truck with 23K on it! It’s a rock solid no worries truck. Good luck with the ‘new’ truck; hope to see it often on your channel!
You Sir, have great taste! 👌 💯
Thank you, I’m very grateful to have been able to swoop this one up. =]
Think you got a great deal on a beautiful truck! I have a 2017 TRD Pro which is bulletproof and modded out to what I wanted. Good luck and safe driving.
Yeah right. I’m surprised it’s lasted even this long.
I just got my first Toyota ever, I traded my gladiator in for a 2021 Tundra trd amazing trucks. I’m super stoked for overland camping adventures and the insane amount of room!
It’s definitely a keeper Untamed. Hold on to it 👍🏼. I live in ID and hands down the best tires for snow and ice are the Falcon Wild peaks. Designed for severe snow conditions, every A/T3W tire is qualified by USTMA and TRAC for the Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake
Thanks brother! I’m seriously going to try to keep ahold of this one. I’ve only heard great things about out those Wildpeaks 👌
You are the best youtuber dont forget this not just good i dont get bored never get bored talk about this truck 5.7 lier tundra
Thanks brother. Really appreciate that. =]
I do the one tone tint on my vehicles as well. Looks so much cleaner. Congrats! Glad to see you back in a Tundra.
Thanks Miguel! Feels good to be back! Feels “right” =]
Ok...will check back in a month for the sale video. lol
lol you buyin?
I just bought a 2021Tundra TRD OffRoad and I love it. I was definitely influenced by TH-camrs like you.
Awesome man! Congrats! 🙌
Of all the tires you mentioned, KO2's are the only tires I'll trust wheeling in Death Valley's triple digit summer heat.
KO2s are exceptional. Such a tough, capable tire 👌
I wouldn’t have done it. But if you’re happy, then I’m happy for you. The traveling to get it is part of the appreciation. The price doesn’t really matter too much here. So don’t sweat it too much.
Here's the mod's i'd recommend (cuz this is what i'm doing to my 2020). 35" all terrains. cali raised rock sliders. retrax pro bed cover. bed rug. morimoto led lights front and rear. prinsu rack. Front and rear ironman raid steel bumpers. RCI skid plate full length. method wheels. subwoofer. husky rubber floor liners.
Solid recommendations 👌 💯
Love my 2021 TRD off road. My second one previous was a 2010). Keeping it as long as possible.
It kills me that you had this brand new once and now you're in a pre-owned 😂. Nothing wrong with that but something about being the first owner of an awesome vehicle. I say this as a 2nd owner for my 19' TRD Sport Tacoma. Love the thing to death but would have been nice to have it brand new 😅
Haha yeah I hear you man. That bothers me a little too… buuuut the $8-10K in mods and low miles helps me justify the decision here.
Love your channel Untamed, but there is no "forever" vehicle for you - you love the thrill of the chase (or, in this case, the car deal) too much to give it up :)
Haha that’s the truth and we all know it… buuuuut I’m going to seriously try to keep ahold of this one for a long while. We will see! =]
It is very beautiful and reliable, the only criticism would be the MPG‘s.
I’m over all these new trucks. Every manufacture is having serious issues... Later this year I will also be going back to a 2020 or 2021 Tundra. I miss the V8 and honestly I miss just changing my oil and rotating my tires and that’s it! I’ve own 3 tundra’s and they’ve been great.
I feel like you made a great decision 👊🏻
Bro you can make a video about the same truck tomorrow and I’ll watch it. Tundras are the best no doubt
Haha thanks brother 🙏🏼 I know a group of us exist out there =]
Carvana stock is up almost 50% since he said the used market is going to crash (apparently in April). Even his beloved Carmax is up.
I just purchased a '21 Toyota Tundra, and I absolutely love it. It's not a TRD Pro, but it's a beast. It had 11,800mi, for $42,00. In what state did you find your Tundra? I'm in Texas, in the Houston area. The truck I had before this one was a '14 f150 super crew, and when ford starts breaking down, there is nothing you can do to stop it, even if you take great care of it.
Nice man! Congrats! I bought mine out of SC. It’s the perfect truck all around in my opinion. Sounds like you scored a great deal too! 👍
That is a sweet truck. Enjoy it... we dont mind the repeat builds because we all love the Yotas.
I have a 2017 TRD Pro Tundra CrewMax in Cement color. Love everything about it but the gas mileage. I do like the next Gen TRD Pro however not enough to trade in my 2017 for one. Mine is paid for, not sure if I wanna finance 70K. lol. Nice video and truck Sir. 👍👊🏼
Yeah the best type of truck is a paid off truck
I would LOVE to own this truck. Keep it forever.
I’m going to seriously try this go around! 🤞🏻
Best truck in the best color aside from the 21 4R Pro lunar Back to the basics. LR brothers!
Amen to that! Super happy to have gotten this. =]
I traded my 2017 tundra sr5 for a 2024 limited. Definitely worth the upgrade. Don't miss the old model at all
There's about 10k in modifications. Great purchase.
Thanks brother! Super pleased with it. =]
Still want the lunar rock 4Runner to match on your channel. Definitely my fav combo. Voodoo blue was good too.
Haha I loved that combo too 👌
I don’t think you overpaid because you got the last of the great generation of tundra, and those mods were done, right.
Thank you! I feel really good about it… might be because I’m still in the “honeymoon phase” though haha
I’ll take 2021 over a 2024 any day. I have a 17 and there’s no way I’d trade it for a new one.
Nice truck. Congratulations!
Thanks a ton, Bret! Super grateful to have swooped this one up. =]
I do not know if you overpaid for the truck or not, but I completely understand why you have circled back and bought the 2nd gen Tundra again (in your case the TRD Pro). I have a 21 Tundra Limited CrewMax TRD-Off Road, and I absolutely love the truck, and I cannot think for any truck right now that is on sale that I would prefer it over the 2nd gen Tundra.
Yes, the 1/2 ton trucks from Big 3 have tons of features and the ride comfort and fuel economy is amazing, but the reliability is like a hitting the lottery - you are either lucky or not lucky. I want a reliable, simple and honest truck that does not cost an arm and a leg.
The 3rd gen Tundra has a peppier engine and it is still a very solid truck, but I hate the exterior look. I could not get used to it even after 3 years; I simply hate it. The only time I like one is if it is in white color, Platinum or 1794, but those trucks cost a lot. I rather have a Ford F150 Raptor than the 3rd gen Tundra if the money was not the issue.
I love that generation of Tundra’s! I currently own a 2018 Tundra Limited in the cement gray with the TRD off-road package. I would like to have a 2020 1794 in Army Green with the Trd off-road package.
Let me know when you’re ready to sell. I’ve been looking for one of these in this condition for a long time
I’ll definitely keep you in mind. I did just find another with 11K miles, shared it to my IG story, check it out.
Great video in the whole scheme of things. No, you did not pay too much I mean seriously for that same truck in a 2024 model. You're paying nearly 80,000 and for what a bucket of plastic and all kinds of problems. And also it doesn't matter how many times you've bought the same model in the past. Good for you. Keep up the good work
I know you are going for that legendary V8 😂
Haha heck yeah man. There’s nothing quite like this 5.7 now days 👌
I have a 2014 and it still drives like a beast. I love this platform tundra.! Did you over pay for the 2021..? I think you did but as long as you’re happy with it, probably worth it. You can’t find them anywhere, I know because I’ve looked. So ya I think you over paid but if your keeping it long term, it’s definitely worth it.
5290 Miles!! nice find.
Thanks brother! Super happy with it. =]
I love your truck…I have been looking for one and so far haven’t find one yet…
Keep searching! You’ll find one. I just shared a solid example on my IG story.
Nice truck I like it remember me my old truck 2020 tundra but sorry new Generations . . Look much better , better mpg ,better power, better transmission , hybrid system, better entertainment system , better lighting in - outside , and more..
this truck 2021 Luna rock is nice too good buy for $58k thank you for your video
I like the landscaping of your location. Where do you live? Just curious looks really cool.
I own one and am never giving it up .
Glad you came to your senses. Toyota needs to do the same .
What are they thinking they have their whole reputation on the line and don’t get me started on the prices ???????????
Whoever thought of this desk jockey idea needs to come out in the real world and make much more educated decisions .
Venting sorry just maxed out with stupidity .
original owner put like 10k+ into it with all the upgrades. I think you actually got a deal given all that. Also, It’s not like you can easily go out and find a Lunar rock Pro with 3k miles either. lol
Great review. Now I need to search KSL for one. Would love to trade my 19 Sierra Denali 6.2 to be done with the big 3.
Do it! Just shared a great example on my IG. 👍
Nice truck! I miss mine. I think price is fair. For 58k you get a new gen SR5. Much rather have them yours!!
How does this guy get these in like new condition? They’re already 3 years old, I got the same truck last year with only 13k miles and the seats were already shiny worn not matte like he always has, same with my steering wheel. I don’t get it
I have a 2022 Tundra, countless issues and recalls. I've been looking for something like this.
My forever truck is my 2021 Tundra SR5. I love this truck!
No replacement for displacement. A V8 belongs in a truck that will work & tow. No cylinder deactivation, no awful annoyance stop/start. No 8 9 or 10 spd trans. I can’t see the new twin turbo V6 going 2-300k miles without problems.
I subscribed to the channel to hold you to your word... I would love that truck to death would us part😂
Haha I’m going to try my very best to keep this one. I know I’d regret selling it…
Hey brother, I mentioned it to you in the last video when you picked up this beaut, in the comments. I’d like to chat with you about purchasing this fine rig when you decide to part ways. I’m very interested.
This is the best year for TRDPRO . This truck and color very hard to find . Thats a brand new truck
I just drove this same truck yesterday but in white. I really wanted to love it. Especially since it was at a great price with a rack, decked box, awning, bike rack, etc. But I just couldn't love it. It was so boring for me. I know it's the most reliable truck out there, but it felt like I was driving a 13 year old truck. It sounded great, but compared to other newer V8 trucks I've owned recently, it was pretty slow. And the white is just so plain like a work truck. I love the look in Lunar. I'm still trying to process it and wondering if I can force myself to buy it even though I know I won't love it.
I think the 2020 and 2021’s are a little more responsive for what it’s worth.
Do you still have this? Is it for sale? I wanna buy it if so.. Please let me know. I’m located in CA
2021 is a 2.5 gen right?
I wish I can keep my TRD pro, but I can’t afford it anymore. I have to let her go. I have a OEM TRD intake, a brand new waiting to install power tailgate lock/unlock, NEW OEM powder coated red front brake calipers. Pleas let my know if you’re interested
So, do you still have this truck?
Great job I bought a 2021 Nov of that year silver…I wanted that color but my wife voted the color down I still want that color..
Fortunately I did not buy t he next gen v6 turbo that engines self district because lack of lubrication on the main bearing
I did need to upgrade my 2021 and purchased the “GENUINE TRANS COOLER KIT which is expensive around /$1000 dollars
Now around 1300. TOYOTA GOT CHEAP AND deleted the THE TRANS COOLER
If you tow withoutfail get the trans cooler kit
Bro you found a gem. If you ever want to sell it please let me know.
That’s would be a keeper for me !
I’m definitely going to try to keep this one this go around… 🤞🏻 😬
Only thing better than that spec, is that spec in Cavalry Blue.
Nice truck!
Thanks a ton brother! 🙏🏼
I think you got a great deal with all the mods.
So driving down to DFW area tomorrow (from Tulsa) to check out the identical ‘21 Lunar TRD Pro. The one in Nevada sold, as did the one in Ct., surprisingly quickly. This one has more mileage than I’d like, 53,600, and of course this dealership is asking $54,995, but it appears to be in great shape, 2 owner and Toyota certified. Thinking of starting at $48, which may be a pipe dream😂. What do you think is a fair deal?
It’s way better than the new turbo v6
That gen of Tundra is rock solid man. Great find, bro. You planning on using it as a daily driver?
Thanks brother. Yeah it’s my daily but my daily commute is 14 miles round trip
Right on. I got a 3rd gen Taco for work and deciding what to do as we have two dogs and toddler and have grown out of the mid-size truck.@@UntamedMotors
What is your remaining payload capacity after subtracting the weights of the rock rails, bed topper, and decked system? My stock 2019 1794 crew max is only in the 1,100lb range.
Nice Truck! I wonder if Tundradude will follow suit, and return to a 2020 or 2021 Tundra TRD Pro. 😉
What the over and under on 8 months?
Great deal and not over spent. It’s time to lift. Lift it w/ the untamed special. WD and Ko2’s
Every day people cannot drop 50k on a truck in todays economy.... If only it was more realistic.
These trucks willl hold their value for a long time. 5.7 is a great V8. The second best engine toyota made only to the 4.7. Toyota is going to struggle selling the new generation at 60-75k and still only getting 17-20mpg.
I get the feeling that you will break, and end up in a 25 Tundra, I’m not Nostradamus, but I got 1st dibs on this statement.
Have you ever bought authentic TRD parts off 3p sites? Any recommendations or going through a dealer?
Love the topper and deck system. These rock sliders are meh 😑, you didn’t overpay
Good move!
Thanks Brother 🙏🏼
Exterior looks nice. The interior looks like it was designed in 2011
What do you do that you change cars every month?
If I may offer this…. Turn off YT, keep this Tundra, and live happily ever after.
Thats nice vehicle,just upgrade if you wan't.
I think GM will be the last one to get rid of the V8.
GM still has two V8s in their engine lineup, and they are the best-selling engines.
I don’t care for the mods; however, I still think it’s worth $58k. Especially if you hold on to it long term.
Oh come on Major, no way! You love losing money and leveraging debt
For the love of f$&k just keep that one. Obviously your favorite and most practical vehicle for a family man. Pay it off and next time the evil voice in your head that tries to justify selling it for a fill in the blank, tell it to stfu ✌🏼
Once he does whatever he does to it, then it will be sold 😝
a 2021 look on the outside, and a 1980s look on the inside lmao.
You better not get rid of this lol MAKE TOYOTA V8s GREAT AGAIN
HERE IS YOUR TOYOTA RELIABILITY AND REPUTATION LOL
More than 600,000 Toyota pickup trucks and SUVs in the United States were voluntarily recalled over the past week because of different issues that could increase the risk of crashes, the vehicle manufacturer said.
The first announcement, on Feb. 21, stated that about 280,000 vehicles, including Toyota Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Lexus LX600 vehicles from the model years 2022-2024 and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles issued from 2023-2024, were recalled because “certain parts of the transmission may not immediately disengage when the vehicle is shifted to the neutral position,” Toyota said in a statement.
