2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Double Cab review notes - AutoWeek

Toyota’s Tundra TRD Pro is off-road ready right off the dealer lot. ASSOCIATE EDITOR GRAHAM KOZAK: What the 2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro can’t do, what the Tundra TRD Pro isn’t really trying to do, so far as I can tell, is compete with full-sized American trucks where interior refinement is concerned. Its typical mismatch of odd Toyota-spec materials and textures aren’t bad or particularly offensive in this rugged application -- but they’re not as nicely considered or assembled as something comparable out of Detroit. Where this truck surprises is powertrain refinement. I’m not sure how or why the 5. 7-liter plays so nicely with the six-speed auto, but this is Toyota Avalon -slick (yes, that’s a compliment). There’s a lot about this Tundra that reminds me of, say, my Jeep Wagoneer. On the whole, it’s easy to adapt and adjust to. So, is what Toyota’s doing with these TRD Pro trucks at all sensible. This Tundra has a sticker price of $42K, which is a lot to the average buyer -- but probably not a lot to someone looking to build a lifted, off-road capable truck. Source: autoweek.com
