Fair TRD Pro vs Raptor review

fjcoop · Jul 27, 2014

I seen this review of the TRD Pro vs Raptor and felt it was pretty fair. I am still glad I just bought my second Raptor.

That test terrain was pretty slow. Would like to see it compare in the desert at higher speeds. Seems that Toyota is the better positioned truck to make something to compare to the Raptor.

You would think that Toyota could spend a little more in development. they are after all a huge company. I just don't think that they really want to compete with the Raptor.

Agreed. Maybe chasing a larger market. Middle or the road

Toyota is looking for the lowest common denominator. They want to sell to the market that considers the raptor too "crazy" of a truck. Basically, boring doctors, lawyers and accountants that are looking for the absolute return on their investment in practicality.

Intrigued by the Toyota.

But agreed with all the other comments.

That truck could be easily accomplished with some minor mods on a regular TRD IMO

^x2^ I think that the truck would look better with larger tires. However, then your messing with the fuel mileage. It's good to see Toyota following Ford for a change.

If you notice when they do the drive over camera shots the tundra skid plate is already smashed and bent. It made me lol but I'd still take it over a reaper !

You can see it here in better quality:

I watch all these guys videos. Not the most technical guys, but still entertaining.

There's also this one:

I was surprised by this one. The Tundra should be able to keep up with the Raptor on this test.

They should have compared the tundra with the FX4. There is no comparison to the Raptor. My last truck was a 2011 FX4 Ecoboost and I put more of a beating on it then anything they put that tundra through in that video.
