In this video I discuss the differences between the Toyota Tundra Platinum and the Toyota tundra TRD PRO. If you enjoy this video be sure to like and subscribe, check out the playlist Toyota Tundra Platinum. I’ll be making videos as I turn this into my dream truck. Deleting the chrome, updating the front suspension, beafing up the tires and wheels, and adding on TRD pro exhaust.

The only two things I wish my 2020 TRD Pro has that the Platinum has is the BSM and RCTA. The thing is.....you will never hear a TRD Pro owner say, I want to make my TRD Pro into a Platinum but you will normally hear the reverse. I’m not “hating” as each person has their own needs and preferences, but the TRD Pro is undeniably the king of the Tundras. Congrats on the Platinum.....it is a gorgeous truck and is the safer of the two trim levels.

That’s Absolutely true lol. Platinum’s are very nice but No TRD pro owners wanna make their tundra a platinum.

I agree with this. I don't understand why Toyota didn't fully load the TRD pro will all of the safety tech along with cooled seats.

I have the ‘21 platinum and honestly the JBL system is horrible. I’m a musician and I need decent sound at least. It was so bad that at 100 miles I went and spent $10k on a serious upgrade. The sub was under powered, the highs sounded hollow and overall it’s not loud and crisp. I also own an RCF and the system is awesome being stock. Since Lexus doesn’t have a pickup, Toyota should have a better system with the platinum and limited.

I guess I got lucky because I wanted to buy a new 21 but didn’t. So last year I decided that it was time to upgrade from my 11 Tacoma that I had set up for over land camping because I do travel a lot for work, so the search started. Last month I wound up finding a 21 XSP, with 40k miles, in Attitude Black. The only thing I’ve done to it was color matched the hood bulge and installed a Pro grill. I’m not going to mess with anything else because I like the ride and I like it quite..lol. The only other add ons are a console vault, Weather Tech mats and rain deflectors, door sill guards and it already came with a BakFlip bed cover. So far I’m very happy with it.

Hi. Great comparison video. Gorgeous truck! Could you tell me what the opening of the back door width and height is? I want to be able to fit a 36” long x 24” wide dog crate in the backseat. Thank you!

@checkitout2468 3 жыл бұрын

I measured it for you and I think it will fit. But it’s close. The door doesn’t open all the way so it’s hard to tell exactly. I would suggest bringing your crate in and asking if you can put it in the backseat. Don’t worry, they’ll let you. When I test drove my truck I brought in all three of my kids car seats Just to make sure they would fit OK.

Great review. I ordered a 2021 TRD Pro double cab in January 2021 and got it in June 2021. Zero regrets. I put a set up Nitto Ridge Grapplers on it (285/70/18) and it makes the truck look completely sick. Got some RCI rock sliders and a nice Leer tanau cover. What really makes the TRD Pro so enjoyable is that incredible TRD dual exhaust. It is the perfect V8 sound note. Not too loud, not too quite, just a perfect low growl. I have 61,200'ish miles on her already and I hope to have her for decades to come.

Things the Pro has a platinum doesn't: TRD Exhaust, TRD front skid plate, TRD Suspension, Blacked out badges, TRD grille, BBS wheels (this one is huge), Rigid Industries fog lamps, and... (drum roll please) the HOOD SCOOP!!! 😀 You'll have a tough time replicating these items and spend way more money trying to. I've sat in both (and own a Pro) and the quality of the leather in the Pro is waaaay better than the Limited or Platinum. Your Toyota dealer would tell you the same.

@George-on3zm 2 жыл бұрын

Say what?????????? Totally disagree with you on a couple of those items you can ask anybody from Toyota. The quality of the leather is hands-down better in the platinum than the TRD pro. That’s a fact. The TRD pro and the limited have the same off leather. Blacked out badges? Who cares about that. What you’re naming is a couple matter of opinions. If you want quality overall you go with the platinum. Now the TRD is a great truck no doubt about it special suspension and so forth it’s great. They are both winners
