2024 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRD PRO I-FORCE MAX - POV DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive look at the 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, highlighting its i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain as a significant strength, offering a blend of diesel-like torque and V8 power. The TRD Pro specific upgrades, including Fox shocks, TRD light bar, and skid plates, are noted for enhancing off-road capability without overly compromising on-road comfort. The reviewer praises the truck's towing performance, noting it handled a 4,000 lb load with ease. Interior refinements, such as the large infotainment screen, physical controls, and comfortable seating, are well-received, though minor rattles from the center console are mentioned as a drawback. Fuel economy figures were slightly lower than EPA estimates, averaging 15-16 MPG in the city and 12 MPG while towing. Overall, the Tundra TRD Pro is presented as a refined, capable, and comfortable truck, making a strong case for its value and long-term reliability, despite its substantial size and price point.
