Thank you for the kind words Joseph!

Thank you Jason!

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

Thank you! Truly appreciate it! 🙏

Hey Jesus! Video coming soon of my rear bed step and other new parts. I saw that automatic rear bed step for the first time on a Capstone. It is nice, but man its $$$$. Manual one is more reasonable. Stay tuned for the video.

Thank you and will do!

Great feed back! Couple things: 1. The majority "borrow" the TRD PRO Tundra from Toyota to review. It's great and all, but they only have the truck for a short period of time which makes their impressions somewhat less credible compared to those who actually own the truck. For those of us who live in this world of TRD Pro ownership, I highlighted those dislikes primarily because I am constantly reminded of them. 2. The tailgate: I agree, the rear bed step is a cheaper option. But why make it an option when it should have been standard? If you look at your manual, it says that the maximum weight that can be placed on the tailgate down is 200lbs. From a convenience perspective, it would have been great if they just had the bed step installed with the truck from factory and roll the price into the overall cost of the truck. 3. Fake exhaust sound: Don't get me wrong, it sounds nice inside. But I am a purist and enjoy the natural sound of my vehicles. Never been a fan of "fake exhaust sounds". Now, my F150 Eco boost was fully built and that thing sounded amazing! I had the full race full mount intercooler, Tial BOV, down pipes, solo exhaust, etc. It really opens it up and you can hear the spool. My F150 actually sounded like a turbo diesel. But outside of the fake noise, this does not take away from its performance. 4. Cost: Fortunately, I have the means to purchase this truck. Not necessarily complaining, but would still have preferred to pay closer to MSRP. It was strictly my choice to buy this truck at that price and as I stated, there was no way I was giving up my truck. Had 5 people behind me waiting for me to pass it up and that made me want it more lol. I am always open to paying less or saving money haha. But I speak for those who saw the TRD Pro Tundra as their dream truck and the higher price may have made it completely unattainable for them. But currently, my $5k markup is very reasonable because now you will see $10-20k mark ups on this truck. At least I drove out at $94k with options and add ons that I actually like. So that additional cost went into the add ons to the truck rather than going to the dealership. But no worries on the long comment. I like it! It is very informative and it is always great to provide viewers a different owner's perspective. Thanks for watching and your constant support!

😁👍

You’re right Tyler, it’s really not that bad. It does sound like a V8 inside and the synchrony with the rpms and gas pedal are 100% accurate. I love hearing the natural sound of my vehicles. I guess I just can’t get over the fact it’s fake 😁.

Thank you so much! A lot of great things to come! The coverage of the TRD Pro Tundra is just the start. Next series after this is when my GR Corolla Circuit Edition arrives 🙂

Awesome! Congratulations on your truck & thank you for watching 👍

How much did you pay I’m thinking about getting the same model thanks

Thank you Tam! 👍

Congratulations on your TRD Pro! I was honestly thinking the same thing about the pillar and why they also chose a lighter color versus black. It's acceptable I guess haha. And that's surprising regarding the floor mats, especially because it isn't really a big ticket item so you would think it would be a standard with the TRD Pro.

Thank you! 🙏

Yeah it's crazy. Never thought a Toyota truck would be in that price range but this is the times that we live in. But the entire truck market is expensive. I still remember when the drive out for my F150 was $38k lol.

@@TristanGrimaldo that’s facts hope you enjoy it and then some I’m saving up for a truck myself I love the new RAMS with the CUMMINS engine

@@hwhitley93 That is the only motor I would go with if bought a RAM. I have a friend who modified his Cummins and it is insane how responsive that motor is to modifications and how much boost you can run on it! Sounds awesome too!

@@TristanGrimaldo that 5.7 hemi looks nice to but yes the Cummins is my go to I bet it’s super nice

You’ll like it for sure Hunter. It’s just an all around capable and versatile powertrain. My friends who own the Cummins love it.

Hey Jeff! I live in Texas. I provided a link below to video where I broke down the cost of this vehicle in detail and why it ended up to $94k drive out. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for watching. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcd5fpZlt5elpqc.html

Thank you Mark!

LMAO! You did an amazing job honey! Looking forward to having you in more videos. We need to teach you how to drive a manual! That would make a great video. Then we take the S2000 and the GR Corolla Circuit edition and race them on a course or track lol.

Hey James! Congratulations on your truck. Black with the red interior was initial preferred choice. Looks so good in black and actually compliments the technical cam more. I forwarded your question to Tony (service director for FRED HAAS TOYOTA). You are correct on the positive terminal. He said for the negative, you actually attach the negative cable end to any bare metal are for the ground. You wouldn't go to the battery directly. I'll put your request on my video content list. Thank you for the recommendation and stay tuned for more!

Congratulations Andrew! You know, my color choices were: Black, Solar Octane, and Lunar Rock. I saw a Solar Octane in person and it definitely grabs your attention. But man what a beautiful color. Later down the road, the Solar Octane I am sure will be the most desirable color since its a signature TRD Pro color. And will also increase the overall value of your truck. I love my color, but if I could go back I would get Solar Octane! And yes, accessories install coming soon! Stay tuned and thank you for watching and your overall support.

Thank you! 🙏. Back seat, even though smaller compared to the older generation Tundra, is still fairly roomy and comfortable for the whole family.

@@TristanGrimaldo thanks!

@@HuyNguyen-fc5ku No problem! Don’t hesitate to reach out

I have crewmax cab and stuck 3 full carseats (rear facing, front, rear) and had room next to each carseat and door no rubbing. I believe my carseats are some of the widest out there too

Yeah definitely get it evaluated. I initially found out because I saw the vent cover on the floor. Figured it just fell off so I put it back on and thought nothing off it. Saw it again on the floor and that’s when I realized it was a fitment issue

Ahh that is interesting! I've heard aerodynamics and fuel economy. I wonder how it affects crash test ratings since Tacoma and majority of trucks have them? I am going to ask Tony (service director for Fred Haas Toyota) when I see him for the parts install haha.

Thank you for the kind words John! Truly blessed to have this amazing woman by my side. The truck is just a bonus.

Definitely paid more than I wanted to. But overall very happy and the color was one of the selling points! Thank you for watching.

Stock tires

Thank you Jack! And I agree with you. Definitely some room for improvement. This truck is a lifer for me so I’m in it for the long haul and will give everyone my honest long term feed back as time goes on. Stay tuned and thank you for watching!

Lol!! Create another account, then like+subscribe+share & comment haha. Thank you!

Definitely a great choice (no bias lol). I love the Lunar Rock! Such a beautiful color. I get more compliments on the color than the truck itself lol.

@@TristanGrimaldo i like the trd pro but i believe toyota kinda cheaped out on the rear step for the bed. I think its weird you get it on the 1794 edition but not the top of the line trd pro smh. Hopefully the refresh gets the tow hooks and bed step

agree with you there. I don’t understand the discrepancies in features. I also think that Toyota should have made the ambient lighting and heads up display a standard feature on the TRD Pro. I spoke with Bradley from Fred Haas Toyota and the funny thing is that while Toyota considers the Capstone the most prestigious trim for the Tundra, the demand is for the TRD Pro. They may need to reconsider the chain of command for the Tundra 😂

@@TristanGrimaldo true the trd pro should be toyotas bread and butter for the tundra the capstone is nice and luxuries but ppl want a rugged truck that you can do alot with.

💯

If you were able to get your TRD Pro for $70k you did a great job! Most of us with the TRD Pro have paid either a market adjustment or a dealer add on that already came with the truck and can't be removed. Congratulations! You'll love the truck.

@@TristanGrimaldo there was one dealership here in Rhode Island (Tarbox) that charged MSRP. I put $500 down 3 months ago and the truck arrived yesterday at 10am. I was shocked it happened so fast. I absolutely love the truck so far. I have no regrets trading in my 2014 limited which they gave me 24k for. Bought it 2.5 yrs ago for 26.5. basically cost me nothing to own.

That’s awesome! You definitely did well on your purchase! 👍👍👍. That’s what I also love about Toyota! The resale value is just impressive. I have never lost money when trading in a Toyota.

Thank you for your feedback and your perspective is understandable. For me, I would consider this my dream truck and after waiting close to a year for it, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Plus, it is impossible to prevent because had I not purchased the truck, there were 4 customers that day who were ready to buy. The difference is, they probably won't be on KZfaq documenting their experience. There will always be someone willing to buy lol.

Lol. You would be surprised how much more expensive TRD Pros are going for now. It’s not just $94k or mark up for the truck. There are a bunch of options and add ons. Here is the link to my video that breaks down the cost: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcd5fpZlt5elpqc.html Thanks for watching 👍

Yeah it’s a lot lol

Thank you for at least considering the video. Really just wanted to incorporate the wife into the video as she is very supportive of my car hobby lol. But you can always fast forward to the good stuff 😉

No worries & completely understandable. I would consider this my dream truck and waiting close to a year for this truck, the market adjustment being $5k, and 4-5 customers waiting for me to flake so they can purchase the truck was the situation I was in. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. If I did, there would be 4-5 other customers ready to buy. It’s a lot more than I wanted to pay but I do love the truck overall and have no intention of parting with it. Thank you for watching 👍

Someone created a KZfaq channel using my logo and everything. The name of the channel seems to be "@Text me on telegram @Tristan Grimaldo". Looks like an idiot trying to be opportunistic and scam people. I have already reported them to KZfaq

Definitely not standard. I hated it at first. But now I don’t mind it lol

Lol! I can't disagree with you there haha. Fair observation lol.

Thank you for watching and the feed back Lee. I do appreciate it. Believe it or not, I was the first TRD Pro owner posting videos on KZfaq from an owner’s perspective. My videos' time stamps are the proof. Several firsts for this channel include an owner's review and dyno numbers. Majority of the videos about the 2022 TRD Pro Tundra are from individuals who borrowed the truck from Toyota to review and that still continues to be the case. Only a handful actually own the TRD Pro and are posting content. But thanks again for watching. I promise I will continue to keep y’all entertained 🙂

@@TristanGrimaldo I should be getting my October up here in Washington I have ordered the solar octane super stoked. I currently have the 2020 TRD pro brilliant white. Hoping for good things. Keep ya posted

@@TristanGrimaldo I also will be the first to have one in my county just a heads up. Keep up the good work

That’s awesome Lee! Congratulations! I’ve seen the Solar Octane in person. Such a beautiful color and the signature TRD Pro color. Those with the Solar Octane I’m sure will see some significant positive equity. Hope everything goes smoothly and keep us posted.

That’s great! Get ready because the truck gets a lot of attention lol. Two common questions you’ll get asked in person: 1. How did you get one? 2. How much?
