Fair TRD Pro vs Raptor review

Totally in the same category.... I didn't realize a raptor is like driving a trophy truck on the street, o wait, it's not.

That was a huge waste of time.

i was waiting for this comparison and glad it happened but after watching it they need to do another one with and fx4 or even a power wagon. everyone know the raptor isnt the best for toeing of hailing or using it for work its make for one reason and one reason only to kick a$$ offraod and look good doing it

Sounded like an excuse-ridden sales pitch for the Toyota. I personally find the Raptor to handle like a sports car in traffic and having owned a Z06 I can say that with confidence.

That said I can see the logic in comparing it to the "yardstick" as he had stated...what better way to sell a truck than to compare it to the benchmark and have it suck only a little bit.

I do like the way the 4runner pro looks, but there trucks do not compare to the raptor. hell I would put my DD 07 FX4 against any of them.

TFL truck does not have the best writers and producers. Seems like a hobbyist page if nothing else.

I hear what you're saying and completely agree, but feel that generally hobbyists are more spot on then alot of the professional magazines/reviewers because they have a real passion for exactly what they're reviewing, this guy seemed like a paid advertisement for toyota looking for excuses to make it seem comparable.

The review seems pretty fair to me. Remember these guys own a raptor, or at least their company does. I watch all their videos and they often compare vehicles that are not necessarily in the same market. My take away from this video is that if you want the more capable off roading truck, go with the raptor. If you want something with better towing and payload, and some occasional minor offroading, go with tundra.

Here's another video from the same team. Take a look around the 1 minute mark where he praises the raptor while driving the Tundra, much to the dismay of the Toyota employee sitting next to him.

I doubt you can even fit a 35" tire in those fenders without a significant bump up.

The whole time I was thinking, when is the person driving the Raptor gonna floor it and leave the Yota sitting there trying to slowly crawl over easy ass trails. This guy is a dip shit and clearly knows not enough to really compare these two vehicles.
