THE 2024 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRD PRO IS A LIKABLY FLAWED ELECTRIFIED GO-ANYWHERE TRUCK

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro is presented as the most off-road capable variant of the Tundra, featuring the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain as standard. The reviewer highlights its impressive torque and respectable acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds, though slightly slower than other trims due to its off-road setup. Positives include the standard hybrid system, unique TRD Pro styling elements like the technical camo and heritage-inspired grille, a comfortable and spacious interior with a large 14-inch touchscreen, and the standard panoramic sunroof. However, the review points out several drawbacks: a rougher ride quality compared to competitors like Ram and Ford, a less refined turning radius, and a relatively weak 400W power outlet in the bed. The reviewer also notes the synthetic V8 sound piped into the cabin and the part-time four-wheel-drive system, which can be cumbersome. While it doesn't directly compete with extreme off-roaders like the Raptor, it offers a compelling middle ground for those seeking capability and a hybrid powertrain, especially if found at MSRP, though its starting price is on the higher end of its segment.
