Exactly. Check out untamed motors channel for specifics but he put 5k miles on his trd tundra and broke even after some slight mods. Also when talking about a $50k truck, if $3k is a deal breaker for you, you need to look at less expensive options.
WOW... that is exactly my Tundra SR5 TRD ...!!! Same packages, parking sensors etc, and just a little under 50k (I got it for 47k). At the time, the TRD Prod at my dealership was well over 55k. Not an option. Still I just customized it a little bit more (Fuel Assault Rims, Fender Flares, TRD Sport Predator Edition Decals among others) I only miss the sunroof but other than that, everything is perfect. Excellent comparison.. Thank you both...!!!
I opted for the 21 Platinum. I loved the pro, price was the same as my platinum but could not look past the creature comforts I would give up going to the pro vs the platinum. The quilted high quality leather seats, ventilated seats, parking and rear cross traffic alert and power folding mirrors. Another feature i think I just observed in this video is the center gauge cluster display was black and white in the pro? It’s color display in my platinum. Lots of little things but overall both great trucks. The final thing that really sold my on platinum vs pro. I wanted windchill Pearl. Love the color.
I did a platinum and the dealer put on TRD: dual exhaust, front skid plate, rear sway bar, shift knob. Backflip tonneau, predator steps and BFG off road tires, and the black tundra letter on tailgate, spray in bed liner. Granted Msrp was 63- but it’s pretty awesome to say the least.
Trd Sport here in Magnetic Grey. I prefer the sport and for a few thousand in after market add ons you can basically have a superior vehicle to the Pro just miss out on the bed stamped logo, if that is even considered a loss.
I must have had this debate in my head a million times before I bought, I even put it down on paper. PRO, limited Nightshade, and sport with upgrade packages. Good video for someone in the market.
Me, I'd go w/ the Limited. I don't do any crazy offroad advantures or go flying my new truck in back countries so the Limited is a better fit for me. Both the TRD Pro and SR5 don't have the interior features I like, however, I do like the all color matched of the SR5 tho
This was a great idea 💡, I love the lunar rock it’s my second favorite color behind my cement gray number one on my 2020 Tacoma those two colors look awesome with black out. Not a fan of that sr5 with all that chrome. I put a aftermarket heritage grill with color matched lettering kn mine and it’s a game changer coming from a standard grill with chrome ring around it.
That’s why i’m happy with my 2021 Trail Edition with all the safety BSM, RCTA and BSM features which I think is a must for such a full size truck. TRD Pro Canada trim version I think is the most top of the line premium TRD Pro edition.😊
I would take the pro all day but I am actively looking for a TRD pro in lunar rock and can’t find one within 500 miles of me in Southern California for MSRP. Even the ones that are advertised at msrp when I call they tell me that is msrp but it’s not for sale for msrp. That said with rebates and discounts on the TRD sport that don’t apply to the pro the price gap gets wider. But the pro is a freaking awesome truck
@@karlosnoriega2032 keep looking and negotiate. I got $2000 off msrp on my lunar rock CM order. Bedliner was the only option so I was $53,244 with destination. I’m guessing I could sell it pretty easily for more than I paid. Dealer had 0 up charge and free delivery to Laredo TX from Louisiana. The kicker is that I’m getting more for my 2020 SR5 than I paid new last March.
If I were to go tundra, I would only go with a Platinum because it has many more features such as leather heated/ventilated seats... Like my other Toyotas, the stock suspension would be replaced with adjustable coil overs and deaver rear leafs, and I would add the TRD exhaust and TRD pro wheels!
I’d say Sport for me but if the Pro came with all the 4Runner off-road gadgets and a rear locker that would tip the scales for me. I’m in Florida I got to have the ventilation in the seats! I haven’t seen a TRD Pro until $58k near me and the dealers will not even negotiate the price!.
For a 3k difference you get the Pro. But realistically, the dealership will take off a couple grand off the Sport, the Pro they don’t budge. The Markup for my 2019 Sport was $48k. I walked away paying only $42k brand new. Have the same TRD Sport as Jeff. Love my truck. The TRD Sport Tundra and maybe the Limited are the best value for the Tundra. By far.
Sounds like the Platinum is the answer, all the great features, no hood scoop, which only allows you to not see further where your front bumper is. Need PRO capabilities , spend some $ on shocks and you are there.
Why in the world does Toyota omit parking sensors and blind spot monitor from the TRD Pro? Makes no sense. I'd love to have a TRD Pro, but I'd probably prefer a Limited Nightshade to get those features.
Damn i love both trucks but you guys just make it even harder to buy all though I like the sun roof on the trd pro bu i also like the crew max what to do what to do🤔
If you guys ever think trucks are overpriced in the US... I saw a second hand 2016 Tundra for sale in australia for A$125,000. No, I am not joking...I wish I was!... Think about that...125K for a used 6 year old Tundra...you basically need to be a millionaire to comfortably own a truck here...
The tires look too small on the Pro Jon. Too big of a truck for such wimpy tires. It would look great with a good set of aftermarket wheels and tires. Like the SR5 better just based on this video.
@@TRDJon Only problem is that the 20" wheels ride a little wore than the 18"s and many guys who own Tundra's prefer the 18"s. Personal preference but the 18"s look better imo
You mean $65,000 for a SR5 and $70,000 for the Pro. Every dealer I've talked to boosted their prices by $10-$15,000 for the 2021's. Neither of the two. Get the Limited Crewmax with TRD Off-Road. You get a mixture of the two.
I am calling BS....you are not going to find a 53k Toyota Tundra TRD Pro... On top of that, I want heated and cooled seats, born and raised in Florida so the ball chilling seats is a must😂
I feel like the skid plate feature was missed with the PRO, and the general stance with the Pro being more level due to the front coils being different. I will say that for the price you very well could take the SR5 with some factory upgrades and then adding in your own could come out with more truck for about the same price. Real issue on that comes down to money out of pocket as opposed to financing a truck that is already a good build start.
Tell me any inside info around ordering a Tundra TRD Pro Lunar Rock - and getting it!! I've had two dealerships tell me that I most certainly CAN order one. But I have heard horror stories on other sites that I may never get a 2021 Tundra TRD Pro Lunar Rock. :-(
Great Collab! Nicely done! I can't say I am a fan of either, they are dinosaurs in the market, Love the Lunar Rock color, but Toyota only goes halfway when making an "off-road" spec Truck, its too bad Ram kills Toyota in the execution of the overall product performance & design (just look at the Power Wagon) and I can't say I am impressed with those Body Gaps! (Welcome back to 1977!) With the Lack of true off-road features in the TRD Pro, Toyota just made a better "toy" than a more capable off-roader.
@@TRDJon Same here, can't wait to see what they have in store! I am doing well, now that the snow and ice are all gone, you will see more of me on my TH-cam Channel!!
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 take a look at the hood where the headlights meet, the amount of gap is bad, plus it's not all uniform, lots of body conflict points, Ford, GM, and Ram have a much cleaner look with fewer attachment points and gap sizes.
You walk into the dealer and you say, i want the top trim. You take the "TRD Pro" home to find out that's it's missing a list of important "add on" features. Bad reputation to Toyota for being conservative. This is what happen when they let others build their brand and sell it the way they want. This would've never happen when they were made in Japan and shipped over in a handful of trims.
SR5 and build up the suspension, wheels, tires, etc...nothing special about the TRD Pro and the Fox shocks spec’ed for the Pro. The shocks are inferior compared to the buying aftermarket 2.5” or bigger Fox, Kings, Icon, and/or ADS Racing Shocks.
I agree James, and it’s a great idea to build up your own SR5 if you plan to keep it long term. Most tundra owners do. If you trade every 3-4 then the pro will be the smarter choice. Dealers don’t care how much you paid for the aftermarket Icon suspension. Not sure how selling a modded pickup outright would do but my guess is that people lose a massive amount of the money spent to upgrade.
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 Yes.... selling your vehicle or trade in you go into it losing any mods $$$$. Either part it out and put stock stuff back on if kepted, and sell mods to recoup. Most Raptor owners rip thier stock suspension out for better, let alone a TDR Pro suspension.
You do get more, more headaches going to the shop and you also get to drive different vehicles while the the trucks are in the shop. I guess you do get more.
Resale value, TRD Pro...mic drop.

SR5 tundra is for work. Platinum is for your retired grandpa who need assistance changing lanes. TRD Pro is for fun and luxury.
Change my mind
No need to, I agree💪🏽
I have a 2020 TRD PRO and I highly recommend you get that truck.
TRD pro hands down, the fox shock suspension makes it sit even and the ride is much better IMO especially for NYC off road pot holes 🕳!
Totally agree. Off road pot holes hahahah
Not to mention less body roll
AWESOME Toyota Tundra. One bad ass truck on planet Earth. Been in love with Japanese technology
Truly the last of it's kind

Automatic running board on TRD pro is very cool

For only $3k more TRD Pro , easy call
No one sells them for 53k, fake news. Go find a link, I'll wait... forever.
I paid 40k for a new SR5 double cab- the TRD was about 10k more, so I'll be doing my own suspension upgrades.
I love my TRD PRO the guys at Toyotà west in Columbus will do you right

Yep! It is true, at the end of the day after dealer fees and all else, those pros can get pretty up there in price.

Correct
Where did u find a new Tundra Crewmax TRD PRO for $53k? All the ones Ive seen are $57k and up msrp.
Talking base MSRP without any add on
They been marking it up since the pandemic After the pandemic is over and they restock it will be back to 53k
@@jayboogie1357 57k is the actual msrp sticker price. No mark up added
@@TRDJon Looks at Toyota's website and see's 55k. Then dealers markup 3-4k.
I got sr5 . I needed a truck to tow not to pretend to be a off road racer with all that soft suspension.
And let's be realistic, you're not finding ANY Pros for 3k more than an SR5 anymore.
TRD PRO!
Please compare a Platinum vs a TRD Pro
I bought the pro. I got the midnight black.

Is the actual suspension different? I know the pro has the red springs. That and the shocks the only difference as far as the suspension system?
Yes. Pro has fox shocks and it’s lifted higher too
So you can't add blind spot monitor and parking monitors on that TRD at all?
No unfortunately
Just bought a 2021 black Trd Tundra Pro
For 63k living in Hawaii they tack on all kinds of shipping etc
Waited 9 months...
53k TRD Pro? Link please, ever dealer has listed for 58-60k vs 48-50k for TRD Sport. When I got my 2021 it was not worth the extra 10k.
Please do more videos like this!!! Keep them coming!!!
I will pick the pro over the sr5 added the money it worthy every penny.
