2024 TRD PRO TUNDRA TERRA

Hello I am new to the Tundras.com community. Just purchased a new 2024 TRD PRO TUNDRA in TERRA in October of last year. So far I love the truck. I traded in a 2022 37 package ford raptor, after having a bad experience with ford last summer with 2 vehicles that where / are under warranty.

After owning 4 different Raptors since 2018, I do not miss the raptor at all in regards to day to day driving, although I wish the tundra had a few options the raptor offers like a fully powered tailgate that will close from the key fob as well as open, I wish the tundra had steel front and rear bumpers, and I wish the TRD PRO Tundra came with at least 35 inch tires. I ended up putting Toyo 35 inch tires on the tundra, which I really like. And I wish the tundra TRD PRO came with the interior of the platinum.

As far as things I like better = I like the on road handling better. I have spent enough time in both trucks to know that the Tundra handles better on pavement. The raptor has better off road suspension. The Tundra with the I Force Max is faster than the 3.5 L eco boost. I think the exterior looks are a tie in my opinion. I feel like the camera system is better in the tundra and they both have great infotainment systems. I love the TRD light bar and the marker lights in the front grill and on the back tailgate. And the adaptive cruise control on the tundra is excellent . The headlights are also excellent. I absolutely love the piped in sound from the exhaust, even though it’s not real. Truck looks great on 35’s. The most payload I have had in truck is 1150 pounds and it handles it no problem.

As far as the interior quality I think it’s a tie between the raptor and the TRD PRO Tundra. I think overall build quality is also a toss up, as there are things I like about the Tundra better and things I like about the raptor better. As far as overall build quality in half ton trucks nothing touches the Ram TRX right now, if you can justify a $ 30,000.00 to $ 50,000.00 price increase to purchase the TRX. That’s approximately 1.5 times the price of a TRD PRO Tundra.

So far the best fuel economy I can get is 15.5 mpg combined. Most of the time I get 14.5 MPG. And I am 65 percent highway and 35 percent in town driving. My highway driving is adaptive cruise set at either 72 or 75 MPH. I can’t touch 19 combined. I can’t 19 combined even when I had the stock tires. I have 3000 miles so far.

So far I love the truck and when you consider the TRD PRO HAS a MSRP of $ 75,000.00 and the 35 raptor is $ 85,000.00 loaded and the 37 raptor is $ 98,000.00 loaded, and the Raptor R is $ 115,000.00 loaded MSRP, after owning a 35 raptor and a 37 raptor I honestly feel for the price difference the TRD PRO TUNDRA is the better value. You can do a lot with $ 10,000.00 to $ 40,000.00 dollars. The only truck I would consider if I was unhappy with the TRD PRO, which I am not is the Ram TRX.

I will say that I am very confused as to why the Tundra gets such negative reviews compared with the other half ton trucks. Believe me I do not miss the raptor when I am driving the TRD PRO Tundra.

Matter of fact I like the TRD PRO so much, my 1794 limited edition was built Tuesday in blueprint and tentatively should arrive around April 10.

I look forward to contributing to the forum.

 

are you trading the Pro on the 1794?

 

Exact truck bought in Oct and now have a little over 3k miles ..twins ! Agree, it's an awesome truck but I don't miss full leather like my last gen Platinum.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

I have the Platinum with well over 40k miles. I think the 'hate' comes from Toyota picky pickers community as well as competitors using social media to denigrate the product . Its an amazing truck and theres is always room for improvements for sure but given the options out there - no other product would make me switch in that category.

 

As of right now, yes.

 

if you go through with it, let us know your thoughts on that Fox suspension vs the Pro.

 

My 22 raptor new was sub $79k are these Canadian prices?

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Thank You.

 

I agree. If it’s not a Raptor or TRX nobody cares.

 

The 1794 limited edition has the same suspension as the TRD PRO = Fox shocks.

 

In the second half of 2022 Ford increased the price of all the raptors, including the bronco raptor. So late 2022’s and 2023’s saw a increase of $ 7000.00 to as much as $ 15,000.00 MSRP.

 

Thank You.

 

oh didn't realize it was exactly the same. Thanks
