@@TRDJon no mistakes! I tend to prefer the gen 2 videos actually since I own a similar one being a 2013 sr5 5.7, badass trucks. Keep more gen2 videos comming! 😎
I had the exact same truck, but when covid hit, my Dealership offered me a big profit for the 2019 TRD PRO and I took it. I really miss that truck. If I had it to do all over again, I think I would have kept it.
It’s really not once you realize how unnecessary most of the newer truck interiors are and that they just have more to break . I would’ve gotten my new Titan without the ventilated seats and pano roof if my dealership had a baja storm pro-4x without. All I “need” with newer trucks is adaptive cruise and Apple CarPlay.
I too have been duped by junk from amazon. The worst part is all the fake reviews nowadays. It's almost impossible to tell what is a good product and what isn't until you get it.
Stuff on Amazon is most likely not OEM. Once a vehicle ends production the suppliers have to provide parts for the next 15-20 years. If those parts aren’t working correctly, try not to blame the OEM suppliers. Any Chinese company can make a knockoff switch
This was the issue I had with my 3rd Gen Tacoma. It was sooooo old. I don't mean the model year. It was a 2020, premium. So it had "all" the stuff it could. I have a 3rd gen Tundra now and I love it.
I would’ve kept the Tacoma or depending on what’s available go older or keep it depending on things like tech such as CarPlay or android auto. I would take a outdated Tacoma with a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder or V6 paired to a automatic or manual over a unproven 3rd generation Tundra with a turbo V6 and with Toyota’s reputation for reliability I don’t consider the powertrain proven until we have 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500K miles with little to no major repairs with normal driving and proper maintenance.
Great video. I appreciate you pointing out some of the flaws of the last generation Tundra. It seems like people idolize them so much that they look past a lot.
The 3rd gen is a huge leap from previous models. Plus he had the Platinum which has almost all the bells and whistles. I would be missing mine like crazy
Last year I had my seats redone (it’s a 2020 ),Katzkins, two tone leather, diamond pattern, air cooled and heated. Love them! I am checking out the auto windows….I would like that feature.
Get the 2020/2021 steering wheel. Its an easy swap. I did it to my 19 voodo blue pro and it nakes a big difference in the quality feel of the truck. It's what you touch the most, you will never regret it. This truck deserved better than the steering wheel it came with.
Glad you’re keeping it real John. I bought an early 22 and kept my 17 for 2 years. Never ended up using cause the 3rd gen does everything better.. old truck is cool, but its not “better” at anything imho.
Man, I took an absolute blood bath on my 3rd gen when I traded it in. 30k lost. When I talked to Toyota they said they don't plan on scrapping those bs engines for atleast 5 more years. Toyota isn't what it use to be. I'll never go back. Almost bought my wife a 2024 Sequoia. Thank God I didn't. Our local dealership had one with 7k miles with motor issues. Lesson learned.
Just got a 2020. With 40k miles. Wanted to grab a V8 before they were too scare or with too many miles. Looking forward to seeing what you will being doing to this truck. Thanks for all you do
I’m doing the same stuff to my ‘21 Platinum…rear TRD stab bar, TRD exhaust, KO2’s…flash-backs to my ‘70 Camaro RS w/ glass packs & Crager mags…2nd childhood - yeeehaaaw?!😂
All trucks have plastic for sure, the durability was quite a bit better on the old like you said. 231k and no rattles in mine, no wind noise. I can't imagine spending 80k and having the issues on third gen but someday I'll probably buy one anyway :)
I had a 2019 Limited TRD off-road. I didn't like 2 things, one, how quickly the gas gauge went to E, and two, no storage space. Had amazing sound though with TRD exhaust. I ended up upgrading to a 21' Pro 4x Titan. Was pleasantly surprised with how much it reminded me of the old-school Toyota's with a modern touch. Great Video Jon. Stay cool!
That phone charger is really cool. I know you have updated radio tech in your 4Runner TRD Pro. There really isn’t much else, except maybe you can see if a later 20-21 Tundra could donate seats for a swap to get heat?
My favorite tundra in my favorite color. Absolute machine. You and I have the same taste I’ve noticed over the years Jon. My sr5 premium comes in Monday I’ll pick it up Thursday!
I have a ‘21 sr5 as a work truck and a ‘24 platinum for personal. Man…. That 24 is spoiling me with more comfort and better driving in every way but that 21 soldier just feels tough. Currently at 259,027 on it. I think I love my ‘21 the most.
I’ll say this…I had a 2020 TRD pro ..bought into the new gen in 2023 and went through 2 Platinums inside 6 months…now I’m in a 24 TRD pro for the last year. They are nice trucks but they have way way too many little and big issues. I made a huge mistake selling my 2020
Really surprised with the flaws on this truck. There was SO much hate on the 3rd gens plastic and loss of under seat storage for the hybrid. I appreciate your honestly about the 2nd gen because comments are very disingenuous when comparing new vs old
The new gen TRD Pro blows away the 2nd gen Pro. It just does. Will be entertaining to watch Jon wrestle with this thing to try and make it a new gen. BTW, it's "you're".
It's hilarious. Your truck has a recall because the engine spins main bearings and you come here to tell us yours is better. Too funny. Good luck with that. When you're stuck on the side of the road just repeat to yourself, 3rd gen is better, over and over.
@@daytrading5456 ok grammar police…..yes blows it away in price, creeks & rattles, turning radius, practicality (can’t step into the bed when the tailgate is down, no tow hooks), outward visibility, RELIABILITY, quality control, panel gaps …. Everytime I pull up behind a new third gen I just glance at the bumpers and tailgate gaps, it looks like it was made in some 3rd rate factory in Zimbabwe….how do people justify this purchase in their minds is amazing. I waited and chose to buy the second gen over this mess of a third gen…. It sucks! Do better Toyota.
There are always tradeoffs, yes? My 2018 DC 6 1/2 bed is bulky, slow-ish and drinks gas like a thirsty dog in summer...but I still love her. Reliable and can haul and tow anything I need. Keep up the great videos my friend!
Dude, you live in the panhandle in Fort Walton Beach. I live in the Tarpon Springs area and it’s freaking Africa hot in Florida. And August is the worst month. But, it’s only four months of misery and eight months of beautiful weather. Also, I would love to have that truck. With a supercharger of course.
Funny thing about the antenna: the F150 still has that long antenna on their current year trucks. The one thing I have heard is the JBL on the new gens are better, but that is something that can be modified.
I got the Alpine head unit from Trail Grid and love it. You lose a couple of functions like the compass and maintenance schedule but then again never used it before
My 2016 Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax with the Magnuson supercharger is absolutely amazing. Here's all my mods: Fumoto oil drain valve Motivx Tools oil filter wrench, drain tool and funnel Powerstop brake pads and rotors Black billet aluminium grills T-Rex billet aluminum main grill and hood inserts Dyno tune after Magnuson supercharger added AMP Research illuminated power running boards Blue Sumosprings on front and back DiamondBack HD bed cover with Yakama bars and cleats all around and kayak holders 10 ply (Load Rang E) Cooper AT3 Discoverer tires in standard OEM TRD Pro size Toyota front skid plate Steel plate to protect my 4 catalytic converters from being stolen with tamper resistant bolts Powered exhaust dump valves behind my catalytic converters Steel front bumper with 12k remote winch GenY trailer hitch receiver with 4 slots Weathertech floor mats, including over the hump in the back Ceramic window tint on front door glass (rear door glass and rear cab glass is already factory smoked) Things I have and haven't installed yet: GM style large towing mirrors Illuminated power window switches with auto down for all 4 windows from driver's panel Power module to make the tailgate lock and unlock with all the doors. RAM mounts for cell phones that are mounted on their flexible inflatable boat pad and quick mount bar. Cleared all keys and FOBs our of the truck's memory and synced 3 sets using Tom's Key Company.
Man, it’s so cool seeing you with this rig with my favorite color of all time. My second favorite is that Lexus blue on the ES or GS. I saw a 2019 ES with that beautiful blue lol
Whenever you get another 3rd gen, definitely get a limited edition 1794!!! Also, for your 3nd gen you should definitely get the AJT Designs kit that blacks everything out on the interior.
Both trucks are cool, but the 3rd get is so much better looking and the safety and convenience have value. Just wish it wasn't quite so much added value, lol.
I've done a few of these same mods on my '19 SR5 Tundra. I put on a Cravnspeed stubby antenna and the radio reception quality went down significantly, so I never listen to it, maybe it's not compatible with my Pioneer radio I put in previously. I got some auto window switches from CarTrimHome and they work great. But the single greatest upgrade I've done was swap out the urethane steering wheel for a leather wheel from a 2016 Tacoma.
Don't forget a TRD Pro Tundra didn't come with a leather steering wheel cover. How is that possible? And check the crash testing on that beast. Don't ever wreck that thing.
My 2015 Tundra has Katzkin Leater seats with heat and ventilation - black leather with silver stitching and the Texas Lonestar embroidered - cheaper than a new Tundra :D I also upgraded to a new Tacoma leather steering wheel since the Tundras come with a crappy rubber steering wheel - well worth the 250.00
fun to watch the new vids on the old truck, I miss my 2nd Gen Pro Sequoia. Had a hard time with the development cycle for aftermarket on the new gen Sequoia so moved to GMC AT4X HD to tow our trailer.
Congrats on the 2nd gen! How big a difference is the space in the rear inch-wise? I haven't seen any numbers to compare and would love to hear your opinion since you have personally had both gens. Thanks in advance
I'm with you Jon, I went from a 23 tundra to a last Gen as well to save some dough. People talk a tough game of the 2nd Gen being better... But in reality there's a lot of creature comforts in the new Tundras that it actively feels bad to go back to the last one. I'm firmly in the camp that most of the 3rd Gens (especially after a couple of years of production to work out the kinks) will last just as long as a 2nd Gen with good maintenance. Sure, a gen 3 might be slightly more expensive to maintain but people are absolutely full of themselves if they think apl of the additional creature comforts don't outweigh a couple of bucks extra to maintain. "Gen 2 is better than Gen 3" is an objectively wrong and vocal minority. 🤷🏻♂️
No way on planet earth will a gen 3 last as long on original turbos. Just the turbos, I’m not talking about the motor itself. Reddit guys show receipts than the gen 3 is 4-6k to replace just one turbo.
New ones are garbage. My friend put a heavy pallet in back of his 22 and the bed buckled. Can't shut the tail gate now. Luckily he kept his second gen and still uses it for the pallets with same weight with no issues. He said with the engine recall and cheap plastic he regrets buying it.
Lol. I had a WCP 23 platinum hybrid and sold it. Now I have a 2019 voodoo blue tundra and voodoo blue 4 runner. Miss the 3rd gen tundra features for sure. It’s strange that the 2019 TRD pro 4 runner has all auto window controls.
Was not aware of this kit(I have a 2021 Toyota tundra with the one button only automatic just to go down not up) in the video you said you blew a fuse. Did it continue blowing fuses after that? I would love to get one of them for my 2021 tundra.
Is the wireless charger take up any more space into the center console then the original plastic ? My limited 2nd gen came with the oem safe inside the console but I would love this mod. Also sweet truck ! I wish I could have a trd pro but the market adjustments when I was trying to buy late 2021 was just outrageous
Solely on aesthetics, vehicles have been getting more and more bloated-looking over the years. Just look at this gen vs 1st. Just not a fan of bloated angles. I also feel like overall product quality deteriorates too with all the cheap plastics unlike it's predacessors whos plastics regularly stands up to time.
What people fail to grasp is while the 3rd gen wont be as reliable as the 2nd gen, it will be "reliable enough" to still be a much better truck with all the improvements made to the platform. This isnt to say the 2nd gen is a bad truck. Its very solid, but still falls short of the 3rd gen in nearly all areas
Did I make a mistake? It's taking alot to get used to, that's for sure. Check Out Our 4G Tacoma Forum: 4gtaco.com
The question is will the Calvary Blue 4Runner TRD Pro or Voodoo Blue TRD Tundra Pro make the cut when it’s time for new content on the channel?
No mistake. Voodoo blue is the best color Toyota ever made and that’s not an opinion.
@@TRDJon no mistakes! I tend to prefer the gen 2 videos actually since I own a similar one being a 2013 sr5 5.7, badass trucks. Keep more gen2 videos comming! 😎

Engine reliablity and V8 noise aside, it's hard to go back nearly 15 years in interior.
Fooooorrrr sure
There are lots of updates/upgrades you can do. It would make great content. I’m working on mine right now.
If anything keep it for another year and it will be worth quite a profit
IMO it really isn’t bad as long as I have a screen an car play in fine 😅 an he has the Land Cruiser an others to make up for it 😅😂

Just bought a used 2019 trd off road tundra. $37,000 and 66k miles. I'm very happy with it. Ordered some prp leather seat covers.
Very nice!
@sammy, you’re going to love it!
Lack of convenience features but a proven drivetrain and a 5.7 V8 that will outlast anything in the market? Deal!

Short answer. No. You don’t miss it. Because it’s content
Really looking forward to this build! I live in Tampa so if you ever want me to bring my ‘21 white TRD PRO out just lmk 💪🏾
That pro looks really good man. V8 and all.. you made a good move.
Beautiful truck! I do really like the minor changes they made to the new 2025 tundra. Excited to see some future 3rd gen content again!
Same here!
It will last so much longer.
Life is short
He seems to cycle through vehicles quickly so not sure that is at the top of his concerns.
@@BillyKivalu7 it’s all for the channel
He doesn't care about lasting it longer, he is gonna change it in couple of years anyways.
Yea if you're gonna have the vehicle for less than 8 years then the 2.5 gen has nothing over the 3rd gen

Congrats!!!!
There is so much plastic these days, we, ourselves, are plastic!
lol mean girls? Hahah
I love that Tundra so much but I just don’t see myself needing a full size truck to get groceries. Until money isn’t a problem, I’d consider
Love the V8 Tundra!

Hopeful for the 3.5 gen

Whenever you get another 3rd gen, definitely get a limited edition 1794!!! Also, for your 3nd gen you should definitely get the AJT Designs kit that blacks everything out on the interior.
I’ve seen the Supercharged 5.7 L, but there’s is very little content on a Turbocharged one. I vote Turbo. Might even get better fuel economy!
As a 5th gen 4runner owner (x2) and a driver of an american made toyota. there's def a diff. plastic or not.
You would be silly if you didn’t regret it
Selling a car you purchased new to buy a used car is a bit unnatural
Jon I predict you get rid of this truck in less than 7 months
What’s the over under?
@@TRDJon over/under is 8 months 2 weeks 5 days 16 hours 13 minutes......start
Do you lease vehicles is that how you're able to swap vehicles so much all the time?
No I buy em.
Why do you think hes making youtube videos.... for fun? No sir, he HAS to make these videos. LOL
That year TRD Pro was based on a SR5 where the current TRD Pro is based on the limited platform.
Don’t understand why the switches didn’t work then
Both trucks are cool, but the 3rd get is so much better looking and the safety and convenience have value. Just wish it wasn't quite so much added value, lol.
I've done a few of these same mods on my '19 SR5 Tundra. I put on a Cravnspeed stubby antenna and the radio reception quality went down significantly, so I never listen to it, maybe it's not compatible with my Pioneer radio I put in previously. I got some auto window switches from CarTrimHome and they work great. But the single greatest upgrade I've done was swap out the urethane steering wheel for a leather wheel from a 2016 Tacoma.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing those points with me! Ima look at that antenna.
Best decision you'll ever make. Trust me.
I like the look of the 3rd generation and would buy one if I could pay 2nd generation prices and have the V8.
Tried and true V8. Maybe the 3rd gen tundra at the end of their model cycle before the 4th gen tundra 😂
To be fair, i drive a 2nd gen tundra 1794 and i dont get rattles when driving even with the plastic
Don't forget a TRD Pro Tundra didn't come with a leather steering wheel cover. How is that possible? And check the crash testing on that beast. Don't ever wreck that thing.
Got that covered too!
I feel your pain, Louisiana heat is just as brutal.
Research putting the memory seat function on your power seats. I can’t seem to find much positive info on it to do to my 20 Pro
My 2015 Tundra has Katzkin Leater seats with heat and ventilation - black leather with silver stitching and the Texas Lonestar embroidered - cheaper than a new Tundra :D
I also upgraded to a new Tacoma leather steering wheel since the Tundras come with a crappy rubber steering wheel - well worth the 250.00

fun to watch the new vids on the old truck, I miss my 2nd Gen Pro Sequoia. Had a hard time with the development cycle for aftermarket on the new gen Sequoia so moved to GMC AT4X HD to tow our trailer.
Holy grail would be the new gen interior in the second gen
How tough would it be to convert the seats to heated/ventilated or in the case of the 20-21 to ventilated?
I have all that in my 2021 !!!
Nice man!
Congrats on the 2nd gen! How big a difference is the space in the rear inch-wise? I haven't seen any numbers to compare and would love to hear your opinion since you have personally had both gens. Thanks in advance
I'll need to measure with a 3rd Gen. Idk actual inches.
3rd gen refresh coming soon? What insider knowledge do you have 😁. I don’t expect a refresh till maybe 28’ to 30’.
adding some refresh is always good!

Sure, a gen 3 might be slightly more expensive to maintain but people are absolutely full of themselves if they think apl of the additional creature comforts don't outweigh a couple of bucks extra to maintain.
"Gen 2 is better than Gen 3" is an objectively wrong and vocal minority. 🤷🏻♂️
YEAH WHILE PARKED. WHEN DRIVEN.. "DID THE ENGINE BLOW"? IS ALWAYS IN YOUR MIND.
Your caps lock is on bro
No way on planet earth will a gen 3 last as long on original turbos. Just the turbos, I’m not talking about the motor itself. Reddit guys show receipts than the gen 3 is 4-6k to replace just one turbo.
There are SO many things going wrong on the 3rd gen. There is no way it will last as long, even with double the maintenance.
2nd gen will out live the twin turbos 3gen,What you talking about,My 3gen 2024 motor went out under 3k miles 😂😂😂,It’s straight 💩.
You need meso customs ultimate dome light. Ultimate map light etc.
New ones are garbage. My friend put a heavy pallet in back of his 22 and the bed buckled. Can't shut the tail gate now. Luckily he kept his second gen and still uses it for the pallets with same weight with no issues. He said with the engine recall and cheap plastic he regrets buying it.
They have payload stickers for a reason.
@@TRDJon yes there is very little difference in Payload vs both models that what why he was wondering big difference in strength.
Dissapointing to see such sub standard quality from a once great company, very dissapointing.
I had the same dilemma
Lol. I had a WCP 23 platinum hybrid and sold it. Now I have a 2019 voodoo blue tundra and voodoo blue 4 runner. Miss the 3rd gen tundra features for sure. It’s strange that the 2019 TRD pro 4 runner has all auto window controls.
Right??? Come on Toyota hook the tundra up!
Definitely not, just mod it out with all the comforts you need and you’ll have the best of both worlds
Its more like back to simplicity.
jon, be patient with 2nd gen and keep the v8. It is going to take a minute before you settle in with it completely.
love it as always Jon!
Glad you enjoy it!
My boy Jon seems so fustrated 😅 hang in there man. I know the 3rd gen was sweet with the bells and whistles
I put a fridge in my f150 center console.
Was not aware of this kit(I have a 2021 Toyota tundra with the one button only automatic just to go down not up) in the video you said you blew a fuse. Did it continue blowing fuses after that? I would love to get one of them for my 2021 tundra.
Is the wireless charger take up any more space into the center console then the original plastic ? My limited 2nd gen came with the oem safe inside the console but I would love this mod.
Also sweet truck ! I wish I could have a trd pro but the market adjustments when I was trying to buy late 2021 was just outrageous
Failed to mention $$$ loss in this transaction.....😂 3:13
I’m just returning them
Solely on aesthetics, vehicles have been getting more and more bloated-looking over the years.
Just look at this gen vs 1st. Just not a fan of bloated angles.
I also feel like overall product quality deteriorates too with all the cheap plastics unlike it's predacessors whos plastics regularly stands up to time.
My center console doesn’t rattle like yours.
Nice!
My 2008 GX470 has all auto windows… 😆
Freaking Toyota
What people fail to grasp is while the 3rd gen wont be as reliable as the 2nd gen, it will be "reliable enough" to still be a much better truck with all the improvements made to the platform.
This isnt to say the 2nd gen is a bad truck. Its very solid, but still falls short of the 3rd gen in nearly all areas
For sure you miss the MPG on your 3rd Gen Tundra over that v8.
When it was stock ya
