We Loved and Loathed Our 2023 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

The Toyota Tundra TRD Pro was always going to have a tough go. The growing popularity of factory-enhanced off-road-capable full-size trucks means the rowdiest version of the third-generation Tundra has plenty of stiff competition from the Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram 1500 TRX, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2. Toyota needed to come out swinging.

Having had all those vehicles as part of our yearlong review fleet at one time or another, ordering a Tundra TRD Pro was a no brainer. Its long list of standard features includes four-wheel drive, Fox Shox 2.5-inch internal bypass remote-reservoir dampers, a 1.1-inch lift, skidplates, and more. Toyota doesn't offer any major options when ordering a TRD Pro, so the sole option on ours was its $425 Solar Octane orange paint and a few dealer-installed accessories, which brought the as-tested price up from its base price of $68,520 to $71,998.
