Trade 2020 Raptor for 2023 Tundra TRD Pro?

I was a loyal toyota man for 35 years. Got my 22 amb 35 and just plain LOVE IT. NO comparison. Raptor all the way!

Admit it. You just typed that to rile up @FordTechOne.
Less issues...

I’d be surprised if they could get 50% to survive the high speed Raptor Assault course, much less what our “3 percenters” put the Rap through.

Now see you're talking putting a Toy up against a Raptor where a Raptor was built to be King. I'm JUST talking about average ownership and all the issues Fords/F150's/Raptors have on the daily.

This is not advisable.

didn't remember that 22's tundra design was so uggly...

I’m a little late to the game but looks alone- Tundra is fugly as hell. Just as ugly as GMC/Chev and perhaps uglier.

Ford and RAM look the best, IMO.

Don't you have to add an aftermarket bumper just to get two hooks to these tundras? I have seen a couple with level kits running 40s and no bumper changes, which I think is insane and not sure how it's possible, but other than that, they aren't that much cheaper and I would rather already have the wider body, better suspension geometry and basis to build from.

A couple of you M-EPHers are making me feel like my 2020 802a no sunroof should be in a museum vs out in the desert (only missing carbon package)

Toyota. The truck that does nothing well and everything mediocre

Reference @DFS post #39. The grass is not greener on the other side. Very far from it.

Agree 100%. Traded a 2017 Tundra Platinum for my Gen3 Raptor and it's night and day. Only got the Tundra since I knew the dealership owners and they gave me a lot of work for my business. Didn't consider the new Tundra for a second as its exterior is fugly as you note, the inside is meh, and nothing beats the Raptor on road or off IMO. Plenty of issues with the new Tundra on the forums, and the Capstone cracks me up with it's 22" wheels SMH. The small upcharge to enter the Raptor market is well worth the price of entry.
