Truth be told, I had a moment of regret after trading in my 2019 Ford Raptor for this 2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro... but that quickly faded. I’ve grown to love this truck so much! Love the color, the V8, the Sound, the simplicity! Would you make this trade?

I love how people say the tundra feels “cheap” all other manufacturers have shit break all the time interior and exterior. Not just their engines and transmissions.. Toyota is quality and reliable.
Agree
Hey John,
I get what you mean I have owned 2 Toyotas and now have a Ram 1500. I think the misconception is the new age truck guy wants all the bells and whistles but have a truck. The people that want a vehicle for quality and reliability understand toyota cares more about the driveability and reliability of the car or truck rather then the look on the inside and design.
Just by talking about the key fobs you can tell that is what this guy is.
Hey just want to say nice tundra. I personally would not buy one. Too light of a truck to haul and have a payload. I do have a f350 diesel but it’s in a different class. If I were to get half ton he’ll yes I’d buy the Toyota
Again nice truck.
Church!
Always hear toyota fans make excuses for the reliable plastic with a very old truck design bought in current money at high prices.
I own a 2007 Tundra Crewmax 5.7, I promised my wife I was going to keep it for 3 years at least... well almost 13 years later, I still love my Tundra, I get offers all the time, well I'm never selling it.
Congratulations on your Upgrade. :)
This rig will be running long after raptors are dead
Mark Alford That’s the rumor on the street anyway! =]]
Untamed Motors it’s facts 💁🏼♀️
And your wallet too! Hey I love Cadillac Escalades and New Jeep Wrangler Rubicons by Fiat. But that voice of logic reminds me what unreliable PoS they are for the long term.
SortaDopeIGuess money pits
We all get cold feet and second guessing ourselves often after every major purchase, that is natural. In a few months, years that feeling will pass. You can't go wrong with a Toyota, I know they slid a bit in terms of quality on some of the interior surfaces, but I think the Big 3 really got competitive in the truck category, so from a standpoint of improvement the North Americans are really competitive and it show. I will have to do a review on my Tacoma shortly! keep these videos coming!
Thanks for the kind words man. Shoot me a note when you post your Tacoma video, I’ll definitely check it out. I am surprised at how quickly this Tu SrA ha grown on me though... the simplistic appeal has a lot of charm imo. Similar to the 4Runner... and Tacoma in many regards. Again, thanks!
Toyota Tundra is a very very good full siže pu truck. I guess the very best truck sold on earth. Now on mars they have two trucks,the great Tundra and the outstanding tacoma. The damn martians don’t like ford trucks. Yell they think fords sux. The martians don’t like dodge Rams either. They hate them worse than they used to hate Chevy S10, this is how it is men , the best trucks on earth are Toyota , the best trucks on Mars is toyota🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
I crack my self up,any who disagree can fuck a goat🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
I think you made a terrific decision. Resale, reliability and overall longevity of engine and parts are enough to justify it over a Ford. I chimed in on one of your last videos and like I said before, I was about to repair transmission at around 95k miles on my 2015 F150 XLT. Not to mention I was ready to replace my second set of lug nuts, lol. Seriously... lug nuts go bad on Fords. I did really like my F150 XLT but over the last year of owning a Tacoma I see the value in the Toyota where the Ford's newness was quickly wearing off.
jroo4 Thanks man! I really appreciate that... I feel great about my decision. It’s been a lot of fun driving it this past month... the v8 and color are reason enough for me. Glad to hear they are so reliable!
You want luxury or a engine and transmission to last really long time?
Engine that’s last forever and reliability
Serious question. You can’t have both?
@@alexavila6507 Lexus suv
Your Tundra is sick. I would trade it. The Reliability is the most important part if you keep your cars forever or a long time.
The Limited Collector I hope to keep this for my her longer than my Raptor! Hah I love the piece of mind that comes with this truck!
Obviously he doesn't keep his vehicles a long time?? Two years tops.
@@UtahNick71 I just subscribed idk him much
@@UntamedMotors btw idk if you've tried it,but some toyota vehicles with that key fob have auto start if you press the unlock button 3 times and holding it for the third or something like that.
SaintNick71 this one will be longer... stock around. I’ll prove it hah.
First world problems...🤦🏻♂️
Lance Nunez #truth lol
We live in the first world
I’d not complain at all as you do throughout this video if I were in a position to have an army green TRD Pro Tundra. Raptors are great but not practical. Raptor is like a having a fling for a bit. Tundra is like finding a wife, commitment for the long haul. When you love what you have you have everything you need.
Joseph Kraft perfectly said my guy 💯
Agreed, well said!
Untamed Motors beautiful truck bro! Raptors are nice but man you got a keeper here for sure lol
Brett Maximo Appreciate it man... I do love the change. It just feels right. =]
Well said🍀
It’s cheap but I will put money on the Toyota for reliability
I'm with you man! I love the piece if mind that comes with driving this rig!
good job my friend I just bought my 2019 TRD PRO 7 mounts ago.... best truck ever
Jason Zoltan Farkas Thanks man! I’m really enjoying it so far. Very happy with my decision. =]
Wait. You had a 2019, a 2019 (!) and traded?! The kind of boy dealers love.
Taka Yama Go to school my friend and it won’t matter.
Untamed Motors why does resale value mean so much to you ..as well as reliability? When you literally stated you may keep it for only 3-5 years..knowing you probably less 😝
@@redpilledpatriot8484 🤣🤣🤣
@@UntamedMotors lol you think you're rich?
OPnoob far from it.
You can always upgrade things in interior and exterior . I got the interior wrapped white of all the gray pieces . I am also looking to get installed the Tesla screen where the little stock screen is at and installing a charging tray by where we rest our arm. You can change everything on any vehicle & you’ll have a one of a kind tundra. Keep up the vids.
I Am Socal I need to look into the Tesla screen, a few folks have mentioned that now... it sounds awesome! ...and I may consider wrapping the other silver components as that sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the tips man.
Dude, you gotta enjoy that V8 sound with those dual trd exhaust, I wish I had one but I’m still loving my 4Runner
Thangngo Haha the v8 is definitely therapeutic... but I absolutely love the v6 in the 4Runner too... it’d be super tough to choose one between my 4Runner and Tundra here... both have their perks.
Yea I love both of your trucks
This is how i see it. If you are planning to buy a truck for the long haul Tundra are good trucks to get the job done. However, if you are like me or many other people, most people don’t drive their vehicles over 7 to 10 years. If you know you’re not going to keep your truck that long, find one that you would truly enjoy driving. Because even though reliability is most our concerns, it shouldn’t be a deal breaker to limit yourself to one truck. Lots of trucks today are pretty good. Plus they are built and design to last at least the warranty period and that is usually the life of the loan. Don’t get too caught up in just reliability. I change vehicle every 6-7 years and have never had issues with reliability on F150 and Silverados. Don’t sell yourself short if you really want something out of these trucks. I eliminated the TRD Pro from my list after doing research and finding out that the Tundra doesn’t even come with a locking differential. But that’s my reason, some other people might not care.
Lokkstar Productions I think you make really good points. Reliability shouldn’t be as big a deal as people make it out to be... because you’re right, most people only own a vehicle for a few years. Still, there is something to be said about the piece of mind that comes with owning this rig. I love it and the color. =] this glorious V8 sound is also addictive!
Untamed Motors as long as you enjoy it. That’s why there is a lot of different cars out there. As for the Raptor, the v6 does not sound aggressive but it is sure fast. Out of all the V8 i felt that the Hemi 5.7 felt the fastest and sounded the best out of V8. I do like V8 and i think that’s what should be in a truck.
I’m currently in a 19 Tacoma Pro in VooDoo Blue. Going into a Raptor soon-ish! Army greens looks great though
I love that Army Green color, of course being an owner of 3 Tundra's, I dislike some tech features as well but I love the fact that's its dependable and resale is awesome on these trucks. I just purchase a 2019 Tundra TRD PRO in Midnight Night Metallic Black. I cant wait to put my touches on it. Couple of things I have in mind is supercharger, and Tesla style radio swap, the rest of the truck is perfect for me!!!
I have a 2012 Tundra bought new. 180k on it and still driving it. Plan on putting 500k on it!!! I have 360k on a Camry I bought with 5000 mi back in Dec 06. Can’t go wrong with Toyota.
James Dunlap That’s awesome man! ...and great to hear. I love the piece of mind that comes with driving these =]]
Tundras are solid trucks. The 5.7 is incredible and in the long run you will not be disappointed. Tundras are great for towing and they are super reliable. The resale value is amazing on these trucks
Amen to that! 🙏🏼
Admittedly I ended up trading this in for a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition... but kissed the Tundra so much. I just got back into a 2021 a lunar rock Tundra TRD Pro. Couldn’t be happier!
@@UntamedMotors congratulations on the 2021! Toyota’s are really great quality all in all!
@@johnduran4949 thanks man! 🙏🏼 Agreed. =]
I’d never get a full size truck with a v6! Even if it had 20 turbos on it.
I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra. I love it! I was close to trading it in for this one, but I don’t want a car payment right now. Maybe in two years. Hopefully the price will go down :)
It’s obvious you’re still in love with your old Raptor, so do the right thing and get you a new one!
Life is too short and you only live once! Get the truck that makes you happy 😃
I researched for 3 months what truck to buy. Looked at Chevy, Ford, Dodge and Toyota. They all had something that was unique to them but it came down to two things for me:
1. Reliability
2. Simplicity
Ford, Chevy and Ram cram their trucks with all these bells and whistles that just mark up the price ridiculously. Toyota keeps the mentality of "if it aint broke, don't fix it". I bought mine used with 36k for a great price and have ZERO regrets. My brother has a 18 F150 and plans to get a Tundra now.
Side note*** this is my first vehicle purchase since my 2007 Fusion. Great decision.
My only dislike with the tundra platform is they do not come with a locking rear differential.
4runner and tacoma all have this option.
P. K. Yeah there is no excuse for Toyota not to have implemented that in this by now... sad.
Would you dislike if Tacoma and four runner didn’t have lockers?🍀
I’ve had 1983 1995 1998 2001 2002 2018 trucks , Tacoma’s and 2018 four runner TRD pro bad asstruck, it hates fords Rams and mostly Raptors. Any don’t like it, too bad,my grand kids get most of them. 2001 I still have????? For now the two 2018four and Tacoma they ain’t getting em🤣🙏🐶👍🍀🍀🍀❤️
I have 4runner sr5.
And have not found a need for a rear locker.
But for the top of the line model “trd pro” they come standard on tacoma/4runner. But never has the tundra had one.
I have a Hilux SR5. I wish we could get Tundras here in Australia, but the Hilux is pretty awesome.
Haha, I had the same feeling trading in my truck for a Toyota. I never owned a Toyota before and did not know what I was getting into. Lmao my first Toyota is now a 2019 trd pro and I really enjoy it! I will say I have added air bags on it due to the soft suspension when pulling the boat and camper just for a little more support, but it pulls and performs great. Having mine a little over a year, I’m beyond happy and hope to enjoy many more years driving my truck. Beautiful truck you have, enjoy!
NERVOUS WATER thanks man! Congratulations on your 19. I’m officially a toyota guy for the rest of my life. Love these bulletproof machines! 👌🏻
Don't raptors have fake engine noise playing through their speakers
Rudy Straight I don’t think so... even if it does, it isn’t great... hah
The only faked noises are probably coming from your partner.
yes they do. the pipe engine noise into the cabin
TheGreekAV8R smh... proud to own a V8 now...
@@UntamedMotors
A V8 that's all bark and no bite!!!
That V8 is the slowest of all the big 3 and alot less power that the V6 you traded.
Love my 2020 tundra trd pro army Green. Also love this channel!
Barry Hussein Soetoro Thanks a lot man, really appreciate it! This color is stunning in person, huh? =]
Untamed Motors yes sir it is stunning. I love it so far. Leased it through Toyota instead of buying so I can get another in 3 years.
Lol imagine caring about what a key fob feels like
Josh E It’s super small potatoes I know, just first impressions is all... 1st world problems at the end of the day!
@@UntamedMotors hell yeah buddy 👍, nice truck btw
I can agree with it actually. Sometimes it's the little things especially with a chintzy fob like that. My 16' Mazda 3 fob is nice and has a nice weight to it and that's a $20,000 car.
As a Ford enthusiast, you made a smart decision. Tundras are amazing. I currently own an f150 but will be switching soon. I have seen Toyota reliability first hand and it’s unmatched.
The Ghillie Man Thanks man! I appreciate it. After having owned it for over a month now... I can honestly say im beyond thrilled about the decision to switch. =]
Just don't crash in your Tundra. They get a very poor rating compared to the F150s!
Tom E Lol. They have a good crash test rating. The Ford is barely better...
Tom E they’re all huge I think a full size is the safest thing anyways. Maybe not for the other person you wreck into. But I think a tundra is plentiful safe, I mean people used to drive around cars and didn’t even care for seat belts or air bags or safety.
That is a badass truck….just bought my first Tundra ..sight unseen I ordered double bench sr5 4x4 didn’t even test drive it …have it now 6 months less than 2k on it. Driveway queen …6” lift on 33” 12x10 -25 …I drive every brand rental truck for work tundra is the best!!!
Hey ! I love this truck man, the colour is amazing, one of my fav. I see way less of these on the road. You made a good choice for sure.
FrontSeatReviews I appreciate it man! Hopefully in 3-5 years this will have held value better than the Raptor would have. =]
Black, thank you! I will post videos of the mods. The raptor is badass but Toyota is reliable and u can slap a supercharger on your army green tundra. Thanks for replying!
fernando vasquez awesome man! Yeah a supercharger would be awesome... bumping the ho and two over 500 with this glorious V8 sounds like heaven haha.
Just recently got a 2020 Tacoma and really loving it! A change from going from a 16 Mustang to a truck. Went with Toyota cause of its reliability, resale value and great costumer service. Later on down the road, I’m thinking of getting a Tundra myself within the next 3 years myself.
Billy Castaneda Glad to hear you joined team Toyota and that you’re enjoying it. You’ll love the Tundra!
If you're that concerned with leather, gizmos, gadgets, tech and keyfobs, why are you buying pickups and not a luxury sedan or crossover?
Eddie L not concerned about it. Just offering a critical (non-Toyota fanboy) review. Other 55K trucks just have far superior interior so it’s fair for American consumers to expect more. Personally o appreciate its simplicity. ...which is why I bought it. =]
you are one lucky guy or blessed one! neither of your Truck, I cannot even afford it! you should be thankful with that.Im just an average employee that keeps on dreaming.
Anything's possible my guy
Thanks brother... you’ll get it, just put your mind to it. It’s not a matter of If, it’s just a matter of when! Best of luck my friend!
Why have I not see this TRD Pro around Cheyenne? Truck looks good, just remember the sliding rear window can never be had on any other truck
John Sotomayor Haha valid point. Super unique... idk, there’s only like 30 people in the town,, we should have crossed paths by now hah.
Aaron on Autos is another Cheyenne car channel. Think he was the first army green tundra I saw. But he just keeps them for a week to review.
John Sotomayor Ah interesting, I’ll have to check out his Ch.
Definite Upgrade! You now own the best 1/2 ton truck on the planet.
Glenn G. Thanks man! =]
congrats, i think if you take it out into the trails you will like it more. that color just looks great with any backdrop.
Haha thanks man. I hope to get it out on some trails soon!
I love the tundra and its always been my dream truck. Such a beautiful reliable truck. I currently have a 2020 hybrid Camry, plan on getting a tundra in the near future. Waiting to see what changes happen for the new tundra or maybe getting a 3rd gen slightly used cause they last forever and amazing resale value.
I drive a Ford and love it, but that Toyota looks sharp!
AJW 1054 Appreciate it man!
Who’s cares man..... you did a fantastic job....not everyone cares about the highest tech in a truck....I wouldn’t ever own another ford if you gave it to me for free....I’ll take that tundra any day....and I definitely wouldn’t second guess myself for trading a ford for a tundra. Just my opinion.....
Daniel Dehay Appreciate it man, thanks. I’m surprised as how quickly I’ve grown to love this beast... the sound alone is a good reminder as to why I made the swap... not to mention a few extra coins in the pocket! I really enjoy the color too!
Untamed Motors yeah man. I’m happy for you. I get excited seeing others happy....enjoy your truck.
I have a 2007 tundra with 85,000 miles, Fords are nice, But reliability means alot.
Joey Allmon it definitely offers great piece of mind... I love it!
I didn't have a raptor but I too did go from an over priced truck to a tundra and driven a few other trucks in between. I think the trade was 100% worth the over all investment. If you look at the going rate for tundras 5-10 years old, people still ask 20k-30k for a truck with 180-200k miles on the body because overall it runs at the end of the day with very little maintence maintence aside from the essentials oil changes brakes etc. The cost to own is the most affordable and regardless of flimsy things here and there, they are cheap and easy to replace. Technology yeah is a bit dated but it ALWAYS WORKS. I have a 2019 VW tiguan, a 2014 wrx and a 2015 Tundra and the tundra is the cheapest vehicle to maintain this past year so far
Nah man, a solid choice! Raptor is a great truck, but those TRD pros are more special to see now because they are so much more rare. A raptor doesn’t even turn my head anymore. I see one at every intersection and parked in every other driveway 😂
Gavin Walker Thanks man! I’m very happy with my decision, a lot happier than I thought I’d be.
You made the right call, since July 2017 and 28k my gen 2 raptor has had a rear suspension overhaul, cam phasers rebuild, 2 horn replacements, 2 gearbox software reloads, and a front headlight lens replaced. Waiting for the dealer to replace both turbo waste gate actuators as they are rattling more than a tool box in a washing machine
Did you get rid of the truck or did you get something else..
Hi I got a2019 Toyota Tundra and I love it it’s my baby.. I had a Toyota 4Runner 2014 it was a great SUV but I really wanted something tougher so I got the tundra . Nice 👍 video
Thanks man! Grats on your ‘19 Tundra! Glad to hear you’re loving it. That V8 is much more throaty versus that 6 cylinder...
Listen, if all the little parts and pieces were heavier and more sturdy feeling then the Tundra would only get 8 miles per gallon 😅
ineedmondayoff haha yeah most definitely...
For real. 😄
Sir, You actually made the better choice. You'll notice the bigger door hands inside and out. Thats designed to help with someone who has big work gloves on since its a Texas built truck. The off road version sporting the black plastic handles so you dont fret about scratching the chrome handles IE: Limited/Platinum models. The Army Green being new for this year is a great choice. Drive train is the same size as a semi trucks. While other 1500 class trucks are smaller. The doors as you notice when you close them create a superior air tight seal. Thats why if and when you close it slowly it doesnt close all the way. You'll also see if you check out the body lines of this vehicle they are exact all the way around. You can even measure it against a much older Toyota, as long as its never been in an accident, they will be the same. Raptors are neat trucks but the Tundra will never let you down. Good Job
Robert Boone Well said man... there is a lot to love about this amazing truck. The simplicity is to be appreciated imo. The reliability in and of itself gives me great piece of mind... very happy with my choice, I appreciate your comment bud!
You can get leather in a tundra if that's what you want so thats not a problem
Yes the raptor is a great truck. It’s technology advanced and very capable but, the tundra has a certain charm and reliability that puts it in a class of its own. The question is come 15 years from now which one will still be on the road
Fan Boy Well said! Rumor has it that this Tundra should be on the road in 15 hah. I love the piece of mind that comes with driving this rig. =]
Untamed Motors
That is WHY people buy toyota.
Peace of mind.
The rumors are true people, they run forever.
Great car with unmatched reliability. With the 20k reduction upgrade your Tundras suspension and a Supercharger. It’s the heart of a vehicle that matter. A built Tundra is unparalleled. I have driven Toyota’s around the world and you will love your Tundra. Most Raptors don’t last in the heat in stock form when driven hard.
Soul Surfer I’m absolutely loving the Tundra. It definitely gives me great piece of mind too.
Can we get a video of you tearing up one of those open fields next to your house?
Haha, I'd love to... in fact we used to own the 10 acres across the street but we sold the lots in Sept. This place would be perfect for that but we have covenants in this neighborhood preventing ATV/dirt biking... However, nothing says I can't take my Tundra into the tundra... hah.
Yeah man we appreciate the thorough walk through but let’s see some videos of you driving this thing!
Amaze Productions Yeah I think i’m about due for some driving videos! Thanks for the feedback.
In the long run, you'll be glad you have a Tundra. RELIABILITY
Indeed. Admittedly I ended up selling this but because I missed it so much... I came back to another one. I now have a lunar rock TRD pro. Hah
Dude if I could afford that truck. My gosh that’s a good looking truck! I could afford one but it would def stress my pocket a little more than it’s worth lol. But I’m almost there! God bless you man. This is coming from a ford guy!
I traded my 2017 raptor almost fully loaded except for the carbon fiber. The rear differential went out. There was a water leak through the panoramic moon roof on rainy days of course. The truck stalled on me and dealer said there was a loose harness or something. Long story short, the raptor was unreliable. I traded it in for a new supra and had my regrets. The supra drives amazing and I'm very happy and excited. I'm going to modify with down pipes, tune and bigger turbo. I guess I like unreliable vehicles. But I'm happy now. I'm done with ford.
fernando vasquez I’m sorry you had such a poor experience with the Raptor... glad to hear you got the Supra though! That’s awesome, what color? You should post some vids of it if you haven’t, I’d definitely check em out.
I must be the only guy in the U.S that has had great chevy and Ford trucks. I'm not biased because no automaker is giving me a truck for free. Therefore, I'm not going to bash one truck over another and yes, I heard of Toyota stories. At the end of the day get what you want. That's an awesome truck, enjoy it.
Jay D Glad to hear you’ve had great experiences with Chevy and Ford. Appreciate it man, well said!
I love my 17 Tundra.Id buy another one tomorrow.Love yours too, Army green is awesome.
R M Thanks a lot man! There are so many happy Tundra owners lol... super reassuring. =]
Thanks for posting this man definitely got us on your side it’s a change you’ll eventually live and be happy hopefully with!
Don AKmed Thanks man, It was a tough move to follow through with but very happy I did. I’m loving this truck... however it does look like I’m preparing for war with two Army Greens lol.
Untamed Motors you from Alabama my brother?down here we all got lots of weaponry and ammo and military grade trucks! Love that big Toyota!🍀
Rickey Cooley Haha I’m afraid not, however I’ve spent a lot of time down in Alabama... I do enjoy the south! ...and thanks man!
You’ll appreciate some ajt design products. Especially the key fob.
ETA. The raptor door itself is actually lighter..... it’s got ballast added to make it feel heavier (higher quality) and operate correctly.
Jason Ehredt Interesting... good to know. I’m planning on getting some more AJT products... they seem like a great company to work with.
👍🏻 AJT key fob FTW. Replace my Tacoma’s and wife’s 4Runners with them and we get asked about them all the time. Makes my TRD pro feel even more special!!!
evan melendrez I totally agree... I actually enjoy displaying that on my counter or office desk. Cool company to work with, I’ll be doing a few more reviews here shortly on other AJT products.
I dont know why people are infatuated with how the inside of vehicle is and if it's cheap plastic come on its ment to get you around to places you dont live in it
Nick Forest It’s just what we’ve come to expect in a modern market. Most cars for similar prices have much nicer interiors... I’m with you though, reliability is far more important. I love the piece of mind that comes with driving this truck!
Tell me though would you pay over a million dollars for the newer ford raptor hennessy or what is your take on that shelby f-150 super snake I heard it has 750 horsepower
It’s hard pay that amount of money for the cheap look when the competition (RAM, F-150) is the same price and a lot more modern inside. Don’t get me wrong the tundra will outlast them all but that is a lot of money to pay for no remote start and no apple car play.
@@quaranjones2359 what do you mean the newer 2020 tundra does have apple car play who cares about remote start you can put that in yourself it's not that hard I've seen andy aka gear runner put one in his jeep
I own a 2017 f350 platinum, heated steering wheel , massaging seats ect , also a bare bones 2014 tundra Trd doublecab , unless I’m hauling my 5th wheel I take the tundra . You learn to appreciate the simplicity, naturally aspirated , no cylinder deactivation, no command start , no keyless entry , there isn’t a whole lot to go wrong . I had to change the rad cap after six years and 100k miles , on the other hand my 350 needed a new turbo at 10,000 miles and at least three recalls
Raptor Dan Dang... Thank you for sharing your experience. There is definitely something to be said about the simplicity of the Tundra... I’ve grown to love it. =]
I like both raptor and trd pro. For me this was a lateral move. Be happy your blessed enough to be able to afford these kinds of cars and you’ve owned both
Thanks man... well said. I’m very grateful.
When you buy a Toyota you don’t buy it for the tech or the fancy leather seats, or a fancy key fob, you buy it for reliability
Noah Jones Agreed, which is why I got it! =]
he should have gotten a truck made by mexicans instead of texicans
Jamar Quvious you mean every American truck?
True i have a 2016 tundra sr5 and it feels cheap but mannn that engine and transmission including the thoughness of the truck its amazing, I love it but compared to my 2018 tahoe in luxury its a game changer altough the tundra feels faster and lighter than my boat tahoe
read mypost one time someone got stuck in our ditch outside our house and my brother has a 2012 4wd Silverado 1500 with the biggest v8 they made and he tried to pull them out and couldn’t do it and dug it unto the ground and my dad had to pull him out in his 2011 tundra 2wd
All that High tech doesn’t mean a thing when Found On Road Dead! Take my 2007 Tundra with 224,000 miles than a raptor.
Tee Valid... congrats on reaching nearly a quarter million!
Reliability is a main concern for most of us. However, buying a brand new car most of them will last you just fine for the life of the loan without any issues. If you ever purchased a new car you’ll know what i mean. In the car business vehicles are tested extensively to meet or exceed the warranty period. That’s why they offer it, they are guaranteeing you the warranty period. Now if you asked about a car that is a decade year old, maybe the toyota will be more of a better decision to buy.
I have bought several new and that’s my point, the Toyota is the only one I didn’t have to either shell out money for or I didn’t have to miss work (money lost)to have warranty work done on.
Tee i have never done any major work on new cars. The only time i’ve brought my car into dealer is for recall which even Tundra have. My last truck was a 2015 Silverado with 0 problems. Just oil change and maintenance. If you just take care of your car, it’ll have a high percentage of lasting. The ones that cries and yell about their new vehicle is a very small percentage of people compared to the sales rate. I can tell you this however, many Honda’s and Toyotas i own are notorious for oil consumption. However they can keep going if you continue to fill oil. But that’s if you remember.
Yes let's get rid of all that high-tech stuff!!
Let's get rid of all computers, cell phones and TH-cam!!!
Hate all that high-tech stuff let's go backwards!!!
If you want longtime reliability you get outdated Tundra. If you want performance you buy Raptor. All you guys talking about Tundra reliability you do realize its because nothing was changed in it for past 15 years. If Ford wouldn't update lets say their 5.0L V8 F150's for past 15 years it would have exact same reliability as Tundra. Also to all of you saying buy a Supercharger and Suspension to make it better then Raptor and it would still be cheaper. I have no idea where you been living. Tundra's engine is not high Performance friendly with Supercharger you can get only 550HP and 550lb-ft Torque to stay on safe side without engine failure which with install will run you aprox. $9K. To make Tundra's suspension superior to Raptors you have to spend aprox. $10K. Thats extra $19K on top of $55K truck which totals to $74K.
My previous truck was 2017 Roush Supercharged F150 Stage 2 650HP. With just another pulley swap and more aggressive Tune i could've gone in 730HP mark still being on safe side with the engine. Current truck I own is 2019 Roush Raptor. It came from Roush with their PowerPack at 510HP. After simple Intercooler swap for bigger one and Custom Tune its at 600HP and over 610lb-ft Torque right now. Thats just $2K invested into it. If I want to go to bigger Turbos we looking at over 700HP range. Tundra will never give you this kind of performance without doing internal work to the engine.
Made the same trade - a 2018 Raptor to a 19 TRD Pro. I miss some of the tech.... but not the squeaks, creaks and leaks of a $72k truck. My new tundra is rock solid and i don't expect to have 0ne of the 4 recalls I had with the raptor.
Johnny Files Glad to hear I’m not alone on this trade. The Tundra provides a level of piece of mind that the Raptor just couldn’t... not to mention, feels good to actually have a truck with an engine that fills the engine bay lol.
Toyota just recalled 3.6 million vehicles. Actually Toyota has a lot of recalls
Resale and reliability is what you’re buying. Comfort and interior all that can be upgraded and easily done yourself. As far as color and markup just wait one more year and this color will be available in any trim level. By an sr5 and convert it to a pro save thousands of dollars that’s what I did. Raptors are cool but watching the value drop as fast as it does doesn’t attract me one bit and all the issues they have.
Raptors are cool for 5 min till something breaks. Toyota for life
So many people have had issues with their Raptors... grateful to have made the swap!
Just traded my 2016 Ford F-150 for a brand new 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO. I had the same emotions when I got rid of my F150. Felt like I went backwards in Tech. My F-150 dashboard was coming up and my panoramic roof went out and the dealership wanted 2,700$ to fix. Made a case with ford and they were supposed to call me the next day and I never received a call. Felt like Ford turn there back on me. Technology kills Reliability. Catch myself waking up in the middle of the night and going out to the garage and just staring at it. Only time will tell how this Toyota holds up.
congratulations on your new Tundra friend, I think that army green is one nice color too. You know, to all the people on a bashing spree on Ford, let me tell ya'll something. I've owned my Gen 1 Raptor for 5 years and the only major issues I've had was a TPM system fault. I do not discredit the longevity of a well built Toyota vehicle. But there's more to it than just the truck. Love your vehicle and it will return the love. I get in my truck and she puts a smile on my face each time I go places. That's what matters. As long as you are happy at the end of the day, you made the right choice. I can't vouch for Gen 2 owners but if I can go back in time and make a the same deal as I did from before I would do it again.
TR13DGE 716 Thanks man! I’m glad to hear you’ve had such a great experience with your Gen1. Although you see a lot of people bashing Ford in my videos.... you won’t see me doing it. The Raptor was an amazing truck, I made the move strictly for financial reasons. However, there is a level of mind that comes with driving this Tundra... love the glorious V8 sound and unique color too =]
Id never buy a Full size Truck with a V6. I dont care how many turbos they bolt on to it....
Nothing like a roaring v8!👍
The Free Raven it is an odd concept...
i agree with you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It outperforms the v8 in every way.
@@BAYAREAMX it can outperform it all it wants lol, i still would get a v8!!
Ford Truck guys are very "Booshie and Picky"... Gotta have the latest and greatest. Two different trucks. Raptor: all the bells and whistles definitely overpriced. Tundra: Practical amenities, solid reliable build and affordable.
Well said... agreed.
Toyota if you plan on keeping the vehicle for ever.
Any other brand if you know you are going to trade it in as soon as you pay it off.
P. K. That’s a good way to put it... I love the reliability reputation this thing has developed over the years. =]
Untamed Motors
Yes brother.
They have literally made minimal changes throughout all the platforms.
“If it aint broke dont fix it” is the best way to put it into prospective.
I will take less bells and whistles for unbeatable reliability.
my top two for best reliability is ford and toyota. i wouldn’t trust anything else.
P. K. I’m with you! Less time and money at the shop... it’s worth spending a few more bucks at the pump.
You should go test drive a Mercedes GLS and tell us your impressions. It isn't rugged but it sure is luxurious.
Nikola S I bet I’d fall in love tbh lol...
It is not the size of key fob that matters...
Kent Henry Haha, tell my wife that.
The TRD Pro is a nice looking truck, and it's already set up real fine for off roading. It's a solid choice, even if it's a bit outdated compared to the competition: bell and whistles, power, payload, transmission, mileage, aesthetics, and they are a bit overpriced. However, if I had a Raptor, I definitely wouldn't trade it in for a TRD Pro LOL. The Raptor is the real deal! Granted, domestic brands aren't as reliable as Toyota, but Ford is clearly a better choice than GM and Ram quality. Ford has consistently been putting a lot of money into F-150 R&D, just drive a model from the early and late 1990's, and tell me how much better the ride quality feels now on the F-150.
Most of these comments are asinine the Gen 2 Raptor is just 4 years old. To claim it won't hold up to the Tundra is pure speculation because its relatively new compared to the Tundra, you can not make a factual comparison.
Did you do the right thing by trading it in, ask yourself if you had your time over would you make the same decision then you get the answer. Most Raptor owners buy one because that's what they have been lusting over, it ticks all the boxes for their needs, towing a heavy load isn't one of them.
Raptor is a mission specific vehicle it's a off road beast 1st and foremost. All wrapped up in a wider stance, beefier frame bigger shocks just for starters. Looking at the interior of the Tundra makes me wonder just what was going through your mind it's so outdated looking. That's an average place to be compared to what the Raptor gives you.
Not sure if you are trying to convince your viewers or yourself on this one. Seems you went out of your way to find this Tundra perhaps you are deep down a die hard Toyota fan most Raptor owners tend to be Ford enthusiasts just look on the Forums.
David Hobbs the Raptor is the better truck, I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. The Raptor is also 20K more though so it better be. The Tundra has a lot to be loved though... lots of charm with its simplicity. I really enjoy both trucks... seems like my viewers have stronger opinions than me. Hah
i had 2 tundras before ! amazing trucks just too big for my wife! we end up buying new tacoma back in 2015 she loves it now !!!!! tundrus are great for pulling!
Tacoma FAN I had a ‘17 Tacoma TRD pro a couple years back and loved it. Just a bit small for a family imo. Great truck though! I’m loving this Tundra so far! Great power and sound is therapeutic! =]
I planning to trade my 2019 raptor for TRD pro (2021 lunar rock) .
What Do you think?
Both are exceptional trucks for their own reasons… you will have a moment of “wtf did I just do?” after trading it in but I think the Tundra offers the best peace of mind and has a much more rugged feel.
You did the right thing, as per the norm Ford always screws up, the list is long, but putting a v6 in the raptor was stupid, they ruined a killer truck, same thing with the mustang, put a 4 banger in it. The tundra is far easier on the pocket when it comes to ownership cost.
Dang Dude, you have all Toyotas and you slice your Tundra like that. I relate to a few of your observations, but not regret. I paid msrp and got 3k of what I paid for my Raptor 802A.
I have 278,000+ miles on my 2014 Tundra. I have the same transmission. I have never replaced a single major part. I did have to replace the plastic cover of some type on the side of the driver's seat but they did that at no charge about 80,000 miles ago. Of course, I have changed the brake pads out 2-3 times. If you drove that Raptor 278,000 miles do you think you would have the original transmission in it at that time? You'd probably be on transmission 4 or 5.
The tundra will last twice as long as any ford
That is so true. Ford is complete garbage. People get stuck on the shiny objects and then freak out when it breaks. Give me simplicity. They work and will keep going when the Fords and ram and gm will be out to pasture or cost a fortune to keep on the road
It’s not about a key, door handle, it’s about what’s under the hood
Aleks Dimondknight Valid statement! I think the 5.7L has proven itself by now! =]
I sure would like to know more about that key fob from AJT design,looks super cool. I hope I don’t order the wrong one either lol. Excellent video and thank you again
Albert Hernandez Thanks again man, always appreciated! I’ll be doing a more in-depth video within the next few days. They’re awesome fobs... but AHT also makes other great pieces for the TRD Pros. I’ll share them too.
An extra 20 grand for a better key fob and leather. Sounds reasonable to me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Tbh I was pretty angry listening to the first 5 minutes of this as someone who owns an Army Green 4Runner. I will say the Raptor is a very nice truck. Lots of utility and tech. However, what you are getting with the Toyota is reliability and durability. It will last forever. Some of the other comments on this video said it perfectly. The Raptor has all the show and go, is dressed to impress, but most often not without its own fair share of problems down the road. The Tundra is tried and true, no hassles, and just works every time.
Kaleb Relich I appreciate the comment... you’re totally right and I’m learning to appreciate that more. It definitely gives me great piece of mind. I’ve gotten a lot more compliments with this than I ever did with the Raptor too... if you can believe that. The color is likely the driving factor, but still! Lol
I had a 2016 SR5 Crewmax that I really loved but due to an accident it was totaled not my fault and I bought a 2020 Limited double cab which fits my lifestyle better and I just love the truck I really do I don't need all the fancy sunroof moonroof and all the other stuff that you set one time and you really don't mess with again. The Limited is more than I wanted leather seats but I'm happy with it total price tag on mine was $51.700 but I offerd $42.5 and they agreed plus the $300 doc fee but that is it and of course tax which I hated to pay. I thought I got a good price. 5.7 big V8 pulls my campers wonderfully my quad trailer and my boat no issues love the truck I thought it was a good value at that price so I went for it. I love the pro but still a little too pricey for me I can't imagine paying Raptor prices even though they're gorgeous
Sorry to hear about the accident... but I assume the Tundra did it’s job and kept you safe? Congrats on the 2020! Sounds like you got a great deal! This 5.7L V8 will become a thing of the past very soon... props for jumping on another one. =] it does everything you want it to!
14 years with my 2006 Tacoma, best truck ever never had a problem. My company has ford trucks right out the gate, they handed me a brand new F550 and the radio didn't work.
Cristiano Gomez Glad to hear you’ve had such a great experience with the Tacoma! ...as for the Ford... lol. 😂
Dammit man. I’m definitely a Titan guy but I can’t stop looking at your truck!
A.K. Vollmer Haha, thanks man... the Titan is a fantastic truck. You get a lot of bang for your buck with that rig... technically speaking, more bang than you get with the Tundra here. Obviously there are trade offs but I’d say there isn’t anything wrong with being a Titan guy!
Untamed Motors yeah I’m definitely invested in Nissan. I have a 2015 Titan pro-4x with every other option and a 2015 Armada platinum reserve for my wife. They are both awesome with zero issues. But they are both still under 50k. The only other truck I’d buy would be a Tundra.
A.K. Vollmer untamedmotors hates his truck, maybe he will shut up! I looked at two Raptors this morning. Just another jacked up ford for unenforceable suckers and stupid fucking cocksuckers. Trad it back to ford for a raptor and you will be so fucking happy with the right keys 100’000 fillers in and a life time of stupid🍀
I like your objective POV. Like I said before. I’m a current and 3 time tundra owner . I understand everything you are saying . I’m doing the reverse of you this year though. Can’t take this dinosaur anymore .
But I’m still confused. It didn’t feel clear, why did you trade again? It doesn’t sound like you had any issues with the raptor. I can understand if you had a mechanical issue with it but if no issues why not just ride it out especially with next generation tundra 2 years out.
I personally like the idea of having the last model year of this gen Tundra. They tend to be more desirable... the Raptor was great, I just think their values tanking in the next 2-3 years. The driving reason behind doing this was to lessen my loan by 18K... helped a lot and now we are able to pay this off before moving in July. Which will put us in a better position when buying our next home.
Untamed Motors ok cool yea that all makes perfect sense and gives me something to think about!
In my opinion the TRDPro should be a package and not a separate model. You can get more tech in a Tundra if you want but you need to spring for the Platinum or 1794 Edition. They should make the TRDPro an option if you want the chrome delete, Fox shocks, grill and forged wheels. That way you can get a base SR with TRDPro bits or a fully loaded Platinum with TRDPRo bits depending on your wants and needs.
Of course you could also do quite a bit to a brand new Platinum Tundra for the $20k+ you'd save on a Raptor and be better off.
abomb I think that’s a good idea! It’d make sense for Toyota too... probably increase sales.
I agree with you on the FOB - even still, it’s better than my ‘14 Tundra’s lol
Benjamin Fisher I agree with you to some extent. I drove my Sequoia 300k, however when I looked at the Tundra it reminded me of my 2005 Sequoia. I purchased a Raptor and I am smiling every time I drive it. I love the performance, styling and technology. I know it won’t last as long as the Tundra, however I am at a point in life where I want to enjoy my car.
Maxrotor I can respect that. I mean if we are being honest with each other, most people only keep their rigs for 3-5 years anyway...
TOYOTA makes upgraded key-fobs for TRD PRO
KTM 250XCW shouldn’t need to “upgrade” to anything when you’re paying $55K for a truck haha. But good to know none the less. I’m definitely happy with the AJT Design fobs.
To each their own. The raptor is an awesome truck. I think it's the only truck that I really like compared to the tundra TRD pro even though performance wise the raptor blow's the rest away. Reliability is another story. If I didn't plan on having my Tundra for yrs to come then I definitely would've gotten something else. I don't care about tech in my vehicle. I honestly don't. Best of luck
SKEEZO THEREALSKEEZO Thanks man! The Raptor will smoke this Tundra in so many ways... but there is a unique charm to the Pro... I love it! Rides so smooth too.
The Toyota will be running reliably 20 years down the road. The Ford won't do that.
Ryan Wooden Amen! Well said!
I traded my 2013 F-150 Supercrew 4x4 3.5 ecoboost for a 2019 Tacoma longbed crew cab and also miss some things about the Ford, mostly the huge power, quietness and smoother ride. That said, my Ford truck, with only 68,000 miles, spent 11 weeks in the Ford dealership garage last summer with over $5000 of repairs (covered under an extended warranty that was about to expire). I figured it was better to trade while it was working and still worth something.
Three Dogs and a Camper sounds like you made the right decision... though I am a little biased =]
I’ve seen Raptor truck and there nothing impressive about them.
Jesus Quezada they are sweet looking rigs... definitely overhyped imo.
I had a 2008 Tundra which I just traded in for a 2020 Tundra. It may not be as fancy as other trucks, but to me, the interior is not that bad and is a good looking truck. Not fancy, but not bad in my opinion. The key with my experience, just do your normal maintenance and you will have something you never have to worry about. It does get very thirsty, but to me it is worth the trade off to have something that is that reliable and enjoyable to drive.
pebmets Rhatd great to hear man! ...and I totally agree, I’d rather pay additional bucks here and there for fuel than $2-3K every few years and have all that down time in a shop... there’s something to be said about the simplicity. =]
If the interior isn't broken and works for what it is then why fix it or change it
Nick Forest You’re right, it works... has what you need! And does it all very well.
I never once noticed my 2014 inside door handle being “flimsy” and now that’s all I can think about my truck after you saying it 🤦♂️
Lol sorry man. It’s still great! Just a bit chinsy is all... =]
I guess I don't have a reference from the 2019 Raptor to compare to but for what I know it's not chinsey 😆. I drove my cousins 2012 or maybe it's a 2014 Raptor and that was chinsey AF 😆 same interior as my moms 2009 F150 Lariat. I'm sure the 2020's are well luxurious
You need the LED light bar in the hood with night rider “swipe” feature
I totally understand what you’re say, The tundra is way behind the times. Hopefully it treats you right though. My cousin just got his back from the dealership two weeks ago, 2018 with the infamous Cam tower leak
