2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro: Raptors Are For Starbucks Sipping Sissies 

Was looking to upgrade to a new truck but 'market adjusted prices' have driven me off. Assuming that calms down over next couple/few months, I plan on ordering a TRD Pro. Thanks for the review. Cheers,

Best part about this truck is the $15k dealer markup and the instant negative equity!

Wow, that truck looks good! thanks Toyota for not slapping a black interior in another truck. The red interior really pops and looks sporty.

I wished the TRD Pro had underseat storage, auto 4wd and tow hooks. I can live without tow hooks but having underseat storage and auto 4wd would have been nice. Also, the fit and finish is not up to par given the high price.

Thanks for the video I see a lot of comments about huge dealer markups. My dealer in Spirit Lake Iowa has told me on a couple different occasions they don’t markup past MSRP. Back in 2020 when I bought my last truck it was an SR5 sticker was 44k bought for 36k after all discounts and rebates, they had a TRD pro I looked at sticker was 54 and was listed for 52 if I remember correctly. Now admittedly it’s a different world and it will be hard finding trucks but at least this dealer isn’t taking advantage of the situation like so many others are. BTW I believe you still get a lifetime powertrain warranty included from them if you buy a new vehicle but not sure. They sell Chevy and Toyota. Hope this helps anyone looking.

That’s a beautiful truck !!! Would get that way before getting a Ford 😅. Great video Ben 👍

Dealerships in Iowa are finally getting inventory for the lots to test drive. Nice seeing the different options available on different models. To me I feel I would have to build mine to get the features I want on one truck. I own an 2016 Tundra Limited which I find more than satisfying. These new Tundras have more but not necessarily any better what I currently OWN. Having no payments monthly makes it hard to justify buying something new. I don’t have to trade and at the 60-70 thousand dollar asking prices is hard to justify.🤔

My favorite pickup truck! Good video Ben.

Ben is right, Raptor owners are starbuck sippers

The title got me going 🤣 especially when the yota don’t even have tow hooks

This is a very cool truck. Wish Toyota made more of them.

Love your reviews Ben, new sub here!

That trim with the black exterior and red interior is exactly what I'm looking for

I love the Wildpeaks, happy to see they come standard on the Pro. FYI that red thing next to the skid plate is the TRD sway bar :) Maybe these will sell for MSRP or less here soon.

Im excited to see this in the new Trail Hunter trim Toyota is rolling out. Maybe they will offer tow hooks…

Do you know when you be able to put in a order for the 24 Toyota tundra platinum

Look again... There is no rear under seat storage on the Pro due to the hybrid battery... Also, the Raptor and TRD Pro are not very comparable. Instead, compare the Tremor package and TRD Pro.

Ben, in your opinion, which truck is better between the TUNDRA TRD PRO or F150 Tremor (402A)?

Good video…just bought a ‘22 loaded up Raptor (with 35” tires) for $78K. Granted, I had to wait nearly a year for it, but being in Colorado, dealerships here really tend to mark up the Tundra TRD Pro’s. I bought a ‘20 TRD Pro and had to find one in Ohio to avoid the $10K markup here in CO. Based on that, the choice is easy, I’ll take the Raptor over the Tundra. Also, annoying that Toyota still won’t put on tow hooks and 4WD Auto.

The Tundra TRD Pro does not have rear under seat storage, because that's where the battery is for the hybrid engine.

They price and mark up these trucks so that the middle class can afford to get one 15 years down the line😂

The TRD Pro Is Luxurious. It Is A Must Off-Road Worthy Red Seat Belts Which Is My Favorite Color That's Crazy You Wouldn't Even Expect That.

There’s no under seat storage in the TRD-PRO that’s where the battery is located.

Literally same price as a 150 tremor with 402A. Only miss is not having a 4Auto. In FL where it rains literally all the time an on road auto 4 would be welcome especially with 580ftlbs. I think ppl are gonna loop this thing in the wet. Tc or not

Still no tow hooks I do like the look though

great video. I would go Tundra.

There is no storage under the backseat because the is where the battery is for the electric motor.

Very cool truck for a Toyota tundra love it

Idk if the Starbucks joke flys anymore, you see more work trucks stop by them than before. Still made me lol 😂

Can you manually turn the DRL’s off ?

Tow hooks should be there but for now there are bumpers that have them u can change out

Mr hardy thank you for your hard work once again. An I’d definitely go for the Toyota over the raptor I wonder wich is faster between this Toyota an the f-159 tremor?

I have a 2023 TRD PRO hybrid on route. I asked about a lift kit and they told me it would be $8000 Canadian for a lift for this truck.

No underseat storage. You loose ALL of it on the hybrid models the batteries are in there.

I absolutely HATE the twin turbo V6 and hybrid, but absolutely love everything else about it

9:22 - "Courtesy vehicle - Not for Sale" - My understanding is this truck is provided for a Toyota employee/affiliate. Pretty sure the person who this was built for would not appreciate the hot rodding in the parking lot. Thanks a lot dealership!

I like the 1797 but this trd pro is nice

It be cool to see the TRD Pro on 35s be cool

This is a cool truck. If the price difference between this and the Raptor was $20k, then of course I would definitely get this, but if I could ever find a Raptor for MSRP, I would get the Raptor hands down. Or a TRX!

Under seat storage isn't on hybrid models. That's where the battery lives

Had to make a choice and chose this over the Raptor. 😊

It would looked way better with the headliner in black with the red leather seats.

Ppl who drive picks ups esp lifted! Don’t even tow😂 most are 5’8 too

Tires are not 'W' rated as this was released only for the TRD PRO. The manufacturer does offer this tire in a 'W' rating.

Can you do a video on the 23 platinum

I approve of the title. Or at least its attitude.

5.1 mpg?

The only problem is nobody sells the trucks at msrp anymore. The markups are between 10k and 20k

Hands down I would take the TRD Pro over the Raptor! Sadly here in Miami every other person has a Raptor. Just in the community that I live in there are 3.

There’s no rear under-seat storage. That’s the battery.

Omg omg, he called us sissies. - Sissies

It is called digital camo! 😏

If money was no object, then the Raptor. Since Raptors involve absurd markups, then TRD Pro it is.

I can't believe I'm saying this but that's a decent price in 2023.

How long is the warranty on those batteries?

Im sipping starbucks eith oatmeal cream, 2005 tacoma sitting on 250k in the driveway. 4runner or tundra is next

About $21k overpriced in my opinion. But it will last longer than any American truck unfortunately 😮

If this was closer to $60k I'd buy one in a heartbeat but almost 70 msrp is just a bit much.

Switched from a 22 TRD Pro to a 22 Raptor. The turning radius on the Tundra is terrible and although the Tundra has more torque on paper, the Raptor feels peppier with its lower gearing (3:31 vs 4:10).

Красота хочу такую ✊✊✊✊✊👍👍👍👍👍

I want this truck so bad and yes capstone is definitely not as sexy at trd pro.

I feel that is what the SR5 should have been, then the TRD PRO gets jacked up with like 550 HP and even bigger tires. Yea I mean why not, if Toyota can put all the TRD Pro stuff in the SR5 and at a reasonable cost. I really feel in the future, people are not going to want to spend 70,000 on a vehicle when in 10 years, they want to trade it in. Yea

These titles are for sure going to hurt a couple of snowflakes in the comments section, and I'm all here for it 🤣🤣Great video as always ben!

Why not just get a power wagon for the price? Should fall in the middle of them both in price.

2023 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Hybrid TRD PRO 4X4!

I don't see 14K worth of stuff to make me trade my 22 Trail Boss for one!

A hood scoop and gloss grill would work well with the trd pro

Beast of a truck,but all said and done you're probably look at at least 100k

Hmmmmmmm off road and no front two hooks Toyota must be quite confident they won’t get stuck

It’s a nice truck but you’re talking about like $1300 a month. Like what the hell man

This would be a nice truck if it had tow hooks

I’ve had all red interior Ram Rebel. It was cool for six months. Then I started hating it. Got rid of it man’s got a raptor. I will NEVER move away from raptors til I’m dead and cold. One thing that has never sit right with me me about Toyota trucks besides the previous tundra is the how long the trucks nose is. Drives me crazy ALL THE TIME. If they had shorter noses, I’d consider. Like the 2020-21 TRD pros. All that to say, the raptors stance is unmatched. No other pickup comes close. Everyone’s copying the Raptor. You can Never beat the OG 🐐

More realistic comparison is to a f150 tremor. Raptor is a class above the pro.

If it had, rear cooled and heated seats, it would be gone in 10 mins.

@1:39 you're doing a review and you dunno what these are? They are called the sway bar.

Raptor all day!

Yeah I'm not paying 80k plus for this

GOOD REVIEW MY DUDE 👍BUT PLEASE SHAVE YOUR STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A CAVEMAN

I think this truck is 100% a "lifestyle" truck they don't want you taking it off road. It has tiny tires for its size and still no tow hooks. I hope they update it next model year.

It’s sad I’m a very big Toyota fan but this rollout of there new pro was a huge disappointment no tow hooks tons of crackly plastic’s and it should at least have come with a 35” tire they just can’t hang with the domestic

You should change the title of this video

👍👍💖👍👍👌

my 1st home cost that much😒😒😒

How about putting 3000 pounds in the box and driving across a plowed field so we can see it do some work.

70k 😂 sure no front locker I’m sure you’ll see plenty at Starbucks.

I like Toyota. I want to like this truck, but it is the worst looking full size on the market. Interior and exterior. When you factor in the price of a well optioned trd pro and compare it’s features with other full size trucks, it just don’t stack up

As a owner of a 2015 TRD PRO, I will never trade my truck for the 2022 The v8 is not there, all my mods lift, tires, reservoir shocks, not worth it But the Raptor R does! Except for the price 😂

damn thats a cheep truck. The Ford Ranger kost more in switzerland than this one...

Not to knock your video ben, I love the last gen tundra. This new tundra is quite undesirable. Its just not any kind of appealing. Any time i see one on the road, i have to do a double take to see if its a tundra or taco. I say that if toyota would’ve at least offered last gen powertrain on this new platform, it would make it easier to accept the aesthetic failures. Cause this new one is ugly AF.

Looks like a buff guy that never does leg day with those tiny tires 🛞.

Payload on Toyota trucks is embarrassing.

🔥👈

Starbucks sipping sissies? 😒

Toyota Quality is not what it use to be. had a 18 now have a 22 and nothing but issues only has 5k miles. it will be traded

I'm a sissy and I am proud because I will buy a fully loaded 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

No front tow hooks. LOL! Unbelievable. They went from a real pickup to liberal grocery getter when they removed the tow hooks. The Tundra is now known as the pvssy of half ton trucks. Great move, Toyota.

Na, The Tundra is Pavement princess It's the truck soyboy desk Jockey's buy to daily drive around city street's .

That's a lot of MONEY for a 1/2 ton Pickup! I do not like the interior of this particular ruck either!

Don't forget the new tundra has a lot of problems with the check engine light coming on the you tuber RANT-N-RAVE bought a 2023 trd pro only had 286 miles on it then he got a check engine light truck wouldn't start had to have it towed there junk with the new turbos that's just the truth sorry

Tundra bed is full of Snowflakes
