- In this video I showcase each of the three Toyotas: 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro in Lunar Rock, 2019 4Runner TRD Pro in Voodoo Blue and 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro in Cement Gray. I talk about my favorite and leader favorite aspects of each while picking my top “bug out” vehicle for the apocalypse.
Which is your favorite and why?
Would anyone consider the Sequoia TRD Pro over these?
Thanks for watching as always!

Hands down you have to go with the 4Runner as it is basic, epic, durable (made in Japan) and exudes a manly confidence, followed by the Tundra (amazing comfort and space) and then the Taco (great first vehicle for a 17 year old to introduce him to the brand). Great vid, pal.
Thanks man! Though I’m Tundra, 4Runner then Taco... I think it’s safe to say you could go in any order based on your current family dynamic and living situation. 👌🏻
Ya ok bud..what 17 year old is affording that?
@@terrynichol577 I think he meant to buy for your teenager. Idk
You have my dream vehicle setup 😍. All I’m missing is the tundra and 4Runner .
Thanks man. Giddy up! You’ll have them too in no time! =]
Same I really like the hole Toyota set up
I’m between the Tundra or the 4Runner.
I love how the Tundra feels but I like how the 4Runner looks. For road trips, I wonder what would be better, also I’ll use daily. Plus once a week I drive 150 miles for a weekend trip.
I’ve owned all three vehicles and would go for the Tundra if I only had to pick one! 2nd choice would be the 4Runner just because it has a bit more room than the Tacoma.
Yep that’s my order too. 👌🏻 though they are all great for their own respective reasons of course...
Untamed Motors agreed!
Oh thank you. You answered all my questions in the first few minutes. Simply with the family and bugout points 😂
Lol 😂 no prob! =]
Single dude here but I pick Tundra. Just got my Lunar Rock exactly how I want, super happy with it
It’s an amazing truck. Congratulations man!
Tundra all day. Plenty of interior room, good size bed, it can tow, and that engine.
Yep. It’s seriously perfect for our family... 👌🏻
Am waiting for Tundra 2022 n will decide vs the Tacoma.Owned a Tacoma before n drivin a 2011 Tundra V6 now.Thank you,brodder.Stay safe.
Depending on your needs, you honestly can't go wrong with any of those three. And you've got all three! 👍🏻
Agreed. We could seriously make any one of these work if we absolutely needed to. =]
Magnuson on both my 2016-TRD-Pro 4Runner, -and TRD-Off Road Tacoma!! Magnuson has truly blown my Toyotas !!!
Nice horses in the stable!; great collection! I’m getting use to the full size Tundra I have. I traded in a rust thru framed FJ Cruiser with 150K. The plan was to keep it but the rust had other ideas. I had put an ICON suspension on it and it was super! One of the reasons I bought the PRO was the Fox suspension; didn’t want to spend valuable time upgrading it. Before the FJ I had a 97 Land Cruiser, and before that a 1990 4Runner that we absolutely loved! So my point being, I bought the Toyotas for their durability, toughness, dependability, and rugged good looks! Sounds like you agree!!!! BTW, first Toyota was a 1978 Celica ST; really wanted a 77 Celica GT Liftback but couldn’t find one; (oh the single life back then).
Thanks man! 🙏🏼 that’s awesome, sounds like you’ve developed a firm love for the brand too! 👌🏻 they are the best!
Channel is awesome! I'd take any of your rigs in a heartbeat. Love it!
I miss my '05 4Runner with the 4.7 (awesome engine) and I'm shopping now. With 3 kids, we considered TRD Pro Tundra, Sequoia or Tacoma, but I can't shake my attachment to the 4R. I have a Super White TRD Pro lined up that I plan to buy this weekend and our AWD Sienna will remain the family hauler...for now. For running boards I like the Go Rhino RB20s better than the Predator, but I've only seen them on your Tundra. The RSG's look amazing on your Taco also. Any reason you went Predator on the 4R? Keep the great videos coming!
You gotta go 4Runner. Made in Japan.
That in and of itself is truly a worthwhile reason to get it over the others... I’m with you.
With baby 3 on the way... go sequoia trd pro!!!! Most room for family and you have not bought one yet.
We are considering it atm. 👌🏻
Nah. He gets more room in tundra to do stuff and with the family.
Congrats man. My wife and I just had our 3rd. Chaos is an understatement!
@@weeksie500 thanks bud... haha uh oh. 😬
Love my 3rd gen 4runner...288500 and still rockin on
Wow that’s awesome!!
I won’t say no to any of them, but the Tundra would be my choice
Wise move 👌🏻
Keep the tundra YES good decision man 😊🤜🏼🤛🏼
The Tundra is staying. I’ve said that before but I feel much more confident this go around =]
My last pick would be the Tacoma. Its not that I don't like it, I actually love tacomas but if I want a offroader ill get the 4runner and if I want a truck to haul and tow im getting the tundra or a diesel if needed lol.
Yep I’m with you 100%... I love them all for their own reasons but the Tacoma is my 3rd round draft pick too.
4Runner of course
It’s the perfect SUV. =]
That red Excursion looks clean tho. 🤙🏼
It certainly is 👌🏻 💯
Love your Toyota lineup 👍
Thank you! =]
Hell yes tundra, runner, and taco 👍👍
=]
We are a Toyota family too: 2020 PRO GREEN 4 runner, 2017 lifted pro Tacoma, 2013 MR2 convertible( super fun to drive) and a 2018 LS 500. MS CE and wife has a MBA. We are ok with one truck...
" if your a single cat( pink bunny) you know I'm not look at that" hahahahahahaha that was hysterical. Great great review. Love the set up. Looks like a 4runner show on your block between you and your neighbor. Love it.
I actually like the Tacoma the best out of the 3. You can carry people relatively comfortably, have the truck utility, and off-road with the best of them. On top of that it’s still easy to park in the city. Best of all worlds
I agree! Even before getting the Tundra -it was nice having the Tacoma’s bed to use. I love it but it’s just a snug fit for a family.
@@UntamedMotors yeah family wise it would be tight ha. That Landcruiser was too perfect man!
@@Ww8.3 the land cruiser was better than the 4Runner size wise but still way less spacious than the Tundra. 👌🏻
Upgrade to bigger more aggressive tires on the 4runner! I don’t think he upgraded the tires on his army green. AlwYs upgraded the tundras land cruiser, fj, and tacoma. About time to give the runner some love! Throw some 275-70-17 ko2’s on there or if you can fit the 285-70-17 but either one would be way better.
Out of all the TRD Pros, the terra grapplers on the 4Runner bother me the least lol. They’re functional off road and look the part okay. I’d still like to put some KO2s on it but not in a hurry.
I kno the 4 gen tacos will be out soon but I definitely will get the 3rd gen TRD 4x4 or TRD Pro with the manual transmission. Bent on the Army Green but ur Cement is making a pretty good case to reconsider
I totally agree with you about the Tacoma! I had a 2019, just sold it for the 2021 4Runner pro in lunar rock! Main reason for me was comfort, backseat of the taco is so small! Lol! Love your setup
Can we get a walk around on your neighbor’s Excursion? About to sell my supercharged ‘15 Tundra for a low mileage Excursion.
Yeah man. I can ask him!
Raining again! You're gonna have to put snorkels on all of these rigs. :)
Haha ikr! 😂
Tundra-Hands down!!!
-Great engine longevity, Interior space and a Bed for when you get dirty!
Amen to that! 🙏🏼
You put all 4Runner seat down and you get a private bed for whatever 😷
That 4Runner is so clean! I wish they made that color for the 2020 TRD Off Road models. But regardless I still love the white one I ended up getting
Super white is a solid choice. 👌🏻 voodoo blue is sooo bright. I love both colors
You finally admitted the 4runner backseat is bigger than the Tacoma. Wooohooo. My fat ass wont fit in the back of the Tacoma, but I fit just fine in the 4runner.
My brother had a trd tacoma from 2017 to 2019 it was new when he got it and I loved it, my mom had a base 4Runner for a while. I personally like the trd 4Runner the most
I’m between 4Runner and Tundra, ugh I can’t decide.
Thanks - Great Comparison
MAGNUSON!!!!!!! Wicked Performance
Would you go back to the tacoma after kids are out of Car seats? I just can't see any other vehicle even looking close to as nice as a trd pro tacoma. Being 5'7 and never needing to tow anything, I can't get behind a Tundra just for the backseat space. Hard choices haha.
Absolutely! I love the Tacoma... I agree with it looking the best too. Great body line throughout... the fact that it’s still a 4dr and manageable with kiddos is why I’m keeping ahold of it for now. If you don’t need the extra space -I wouldn’t even consider the Tundra.
I had to make this decision. Went with 4Runner ORP. I LOVE KDSS and it’s not on TRD Pro. Also, I can buy a LOT of custom upgrades with savings over TRD Pro. Main reason I went with 4Runner over Tundra is where we live parking huge truck is a PITA & we don’t need THAT much interior space... boys are out of car seats. I do love that it’s made in Japan. Next Toyota will likely be Land Cruiser. Always wanted one. Have to admit I really love this 4Runner though.
4Runner all day. That v6 is STOUT af
Agreed! It’s such a solid platform!
Man untamed I watched quite a few of your videos. Your making it hard for me to trade my AG Pro 4runner in for a Pro tundra. I may be backing out in making that move. Decisions!!
Imagine the conversation Henry Ford and Kiichiro Toyoda would have if they took a walk through ur neighborhood.🤔🤓😂
I would go Tundra TRD pro.
It’s just a shame that it doesn’t have a rear locker like the 4runner and Tacoma.
Agreed... I’m sure the 2022 will have that. 👌🏻
I agree I like the 4.0 in the 4runner over the 3.5 in the Tacoma. And I’m glad you finally admit the 4runner has more legroom haha
2020 is when the Tacoma got the power seat. Still like the seat in the 4runner better. But I’m 5’11
Hah yeah it’s noticeably bigger than the Tacoma... sigh lol. #eatswords
The 4.0 attached to this 5spd definitely puts the power down better 👌🏻
Love em all. Gonna have to get a taco and 4Runner to complete my set lol
Lol I condone my crazy vehicle purchasing behavior...
What a collection! I see OR in there. That's awesome, do you go to any of the Cars and Coffee events in the PDX area? @untamedmotors
I’ve unfortunately since moved away from the PNW for work. Now out in WY.
Great video I’d pick the Tundra also! 👍
It’s zeh best! =]
Untamed Motors although that 4 Runner is an awesome looking vehicle. 👍
I’m about to trade my wife’s 2017 Camero 2ss In for either a 4 runner or 4 door Jeep Wrangler. In your personal opinion which one would you choose and why. The wife really likes the voodoo blue 4 runners. Thanks
That Mexico Blue is Wicked
Sir. I will buy your Tacoma after my time here in JBLM.
Hmu on Instagram when you’re ready. No plan atm to move it...
Would drop a nut if Toyota offered a Manual 4RUNNER!!
That’d be sweet!
That's why you buy the manual sport or or Tacoma 😎
A Toyota Avalon TRD would be sweet in your drive thru.
I saw one up close and persona the other day... man, I have to admit... they’re super spacious and sporty feeling. 👌🏻
Hey untamed, would you ever consider the luxurious 1794 edition
I’ve never sat in one... though I’ve seen numerous videos and they look great! Their interiors are next level for sure. I personally really like the TRD Pro and it’s exclusivity so idk if I’d ever seriously consider getting a 1794 over the Pro.
Not that I would choose only one, but probably the Tundra. I feel like now the interiors are all about equal, but the Tundra has more towing/power, with about the same MPG as the Tacoma/4Runner.
Cross shopping between the Double Cab Tundra and 4runner. Would you still lean towards the 4runner? Just getting your opinion.
4Runner is my favorite
Did you do a needle baring replacement on your Tacoma when you did the lift? And who did your lift in Oregon I live in Oregon as well.
Man that tacoma is just gorgeous! Best looking by far. As far as the transmission can’t you just shift the gears yourself ?
Thanks man. You can shift “manually” yes. I’m not too bothered by the transmission though.
All great vehicles! Does the white 4runner trd come with auto start?
It does. It has the 3 click start with the fob -just like the Tundra.
Thank you!
I would stick with the Tundra, with kids the more room the better. By the way do any of the Trd pros come with cooled or ventilated seats. I live in Texas and it is an option I would love to have.
Unfortunately they do not... only heated. That is one attribute I liked on my Raptor’s.... =\
Had all 3 as well and agree with your ranking. I jus sold my 4RP and goin back to a tundra since I can’t afford a LC haha
Did I miss the sale of the white 4Runner?
Nope. It’s in the garage =]
Enjoy your videos bud! Hey can you do me a favor? Could you check your Rear passenger wheel on the Tacoma, and see if it sticks out further than the driver side. After my lift was installed i notice my rear passenger wheel sticks out more then the driver side? On the forums they say it's normal? "Weird" Ok thanks man.
Hmmm interesting, I just gave it a look. It appears to be identical... hard to say for sure though. If it’s off at all -it’s by a cm or two...
@@UntamedMotors Hey thanks for looking man! Cheers
@@Oldschool503 np bud. 👌🏻
I would choose the one you got rid of, the 200 series landcruiser haha. But out of those 3 I would choose the tundra but it all depends on what you do. My paid off 2014 tundra is a great family hauler and it’s mostly stock so the extra money goes to gas and it doesn’t bother me. Off-road the 4Runner wins, the taco is a last choice. One interesting fact is out of all 4wds Toyota makes the tundra has the highest ground clearance, more than the most off-road worthy “landcruiser”.
If you went with the TRD pro manual transmission would you be able to drive it “more aggressive” ?
Happy Thanksgiving! Are you going to hang on to the White 2021 TRD Pro 4Runner?
I’d like to but we may bump up to a Sequoia TRD Pro simply for size.
And Happy Thanksgiving to you too man!!
I’d go with a 2021 4Runner TRD Pro...cause that’s what I bought! 😎
Wise choice. =]
I feel the Tacoma is on life support and UM will be pulling the plug on it soon. LOL
LOL 😂
Do you live in the PNW? This looks like a typical neighborhood in Fife WA
During the time of this video we lived up near Seattle
Manual Tacoma life for the win over here
Nice! 👍
@@UntamedMotors still could use more power in these things? 🤷♂️
@@terrynichol577 the Tacoma feels underpowered compared to the 4Runner. A little power boost would be well received amongst the Tacoma community.
You have good taste on vehicles
Hah thanks man 👌🏻
How about a Swagger Wagon XSE?
Haha I considered a new one for Mrs. Untamed but idk... can’t get a van...
Thanks for the video, it was fun. Tundra for several reasons not the least of which is the 38gal. gas tank. Have always loved the 4Runner 's toughness and reliability but I can't get past what I consider the ugliest nose and grille known to mankind. If it weren't for that I'd probably have one in my driveway already.
Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
Each of them, twice!
=]]
Your line up is so sick I’d say keep them all but we all know you won’t lol. I traded my tundra for a trd pro Tacoma and I’m always kicking myself for doing that......
Thanks brother!! Haha I will end up with three... which 3, I’m not sure yet. I can’t imagine letting go of this Tundra again. =] I’m addicted to its V8 power and space. It’s perfect for our family.
Soooo if Im single with no kids, wife, girlfriend or dog, which one should I get???
None! They are too expensive. Get a modest vehicle you can pay cash for and focus on investing your money on something that will pay you back. Don’t throw it away on a depreciating asset. This guy is obviously flaunting either his ego or financial abilities to senselessly purchase multiple overpriced vehicles. Maybe he’s trying to “keep up with the Joneses” - notice his neighbors little collection? Or, maybe it makes him feel more important.. who knows? But, he is definitely NOT a role model for being smart with your money. Do yourself a favor.. use wisdom.
That trd pro tundra is where it’s at
=] it’s my fave. 🙏🏼
Time for a 2021 sienna & put a TRD PRO badge on there with some k02s. Nobody will know the difference!
Dude your neighbor is a Ford guy...you guys must get into epic fights (kidding). Anyway, I have a Tundra so my choice would be the 4Runner.
Haha he’s actually super cool. We both respect one another’s passion for trucks. =]
Just ordered 4runner trd pro. Waiting for it to arrive in September lol
Congrats man! What color?
@@UntamedMotors white! I like the magnetic gray better but white is better for the Texas heat
@@robertdepesci3418 haha oh yeah that’s a wise choice 👌🏻 white is the classic look for the 4Runner. Good choice!
@@UntamedMotors thanks... what's crazy is i paid 36600 for my 2018 tacoma trd OR.. and carmax gave me 35600 which i got today lol. this used car market is insane.
@@robertdepesci3418 haha yup!
Love the 4 runner but since I use a truck I'd take the trd pro tundra, and a sequoia trd pro to replace the wifes sequoia limited.
Yeah having a truck bed has become a must have for us too... =]
@@UntamedMotors definitely comes in handy for those of us who really need them. I tow and haul which is whybi have a titan xd. Although I live the Tundra the xd gives me the extra stability because it weighs over 7,000lbs but doesn't give me the punishing ride of a 3/4 ton. It really fits my need perfectly. If my food trailer wasn't so heavy I'd be in a tundra hands down, but the weight of the xd amd the diesel really makes a world of difference. Ive towed it with a tundra and an f150 5.0. The tundra got the load moving better than the 5.0 f150 but both did a good job, but as far as stability the xd was by far superior.
Does the new 2021 4Runner have climate control?
Yes it does. They introduced it in 2020z 👌🏻
2020 SR5 and higher has a power seat on the Tacoma.
This video came after me commenting on the last video 😂
=]
Yo i think the tacoma look the best, the tundra look kinda bubbly, the 4 runner i lovethe color but the front grill kinda look like an 👽 alien face lol, but the taco man all body lines the tough lookin face its just the most amazing to me, btw taco owner here lol
What kills it for me on the Tundra is no locking rear diff, and no crawl control!
Yeah it’s a shame it didn’t come with it...
Just wish the 4runner had more power makes me want the tundra
Yeah I hear you… the 4Runner leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to power delivery. A bit lackluster.
Super single chick 5 10. . 4Runner for me, trd pro in white. I prefer 100% Japan made and off road capabilities
Ordered a manual transmission TRD pro taco
How about a Lexus LX470?
Thought about it but the 3rd row is tight.
Can’t decide to wait for the 22 tundra or go ahead n get a 4Runner in a couple weeks 🤦🏾♂️
I’m killing myself trying to decide between the 22 Tundra or wait for the redesigned 23 4Runner
Jeez dude, you must have a good job... where can I apply
Banks got all kinds. You think this guy owns these outright?
Why do you care? Would it make you feel less insecure if I didn't? Not asking to be a jerk... I always find it fascinating that it's human nature to hope for the worst in others as it makes us feel better about our own lives/situations. I'm sorry to disappoint gents but they're all owned clean and clear without loans. We had a loan on the land cruiser, but that was it. Just work hard and you too will be able to buy rigs like these. The worst thing you can do is constantly compare yourself to others, it'll only hinder your own self worth. I didn't create a youtube to channel with hopes of becoming established through it. I became established and then created a youtube channel strictly as a hobby... on the side... =]
How do you afford all those vehicles?
Untamed bank account
I have no gear hunting in my 2020 Tacoma trd off-road in voodoo blue. #2020refesh
No Peanut 🥜 cameo but, We got Jed running with his ⚽️. Adorable 😍
Haha he’ll have to do for now... Peanut was at preschool today. =]
What has more power 4Runner or Tacoma?
If I go 4Runner I’ll get it super charged
I think the tacoma has a couple more horses under the hood but nothing significant
What step bars are those on the voodoo blue 4 runner? Do they attach to the frame?
They are not frame mounted, these are Toyota’s Predator Tube Steps... not ideal for off roading.
Did you buy or lease them? Thanks
Bought. I don’t think you can lease Pros. I might be wrong...
QQ: why do you have 3 trd pros and what do you do for a living?
I discuss it at the end of my “pandemic pros” video. Check it out if you’d like.
So, how come you didn’t include the Highlander?
Just not interested in em.
What happened to the White 4Runner?
In the garage
