The 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro Is The Best Version Of An Honest Old Truck
With five windows wide open and ocean breeze flowing through the cab, our 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro bounded over Pismo Beach’s dunes like a golden retriever in hot pursuit of a tennis ball. No special “sand mode.” No fancy forced induction. Just a snarling V8 and an overstuffed driver’s seat. And it felt so right.
(Full Disclosure: I begged Toyota to let me play with its off-road spec half-ton truck before the thing was axe’d for the 2018 model year. The company had one delivered to my office with a full tank of fuel, and I put it through a triathlon of truckliness: this Tundra helped a friend move, went off-roading, and towed a project car more than 200 miles.)
The Tundra is one of those vehicles that’s become so old it also qualifies as old-school. But that’s clearly part of its charm.
In those last ten years, the Ford F-150 has moved to a lightweight aluminum body and gained advanced off-road traction management systems. General Motors has introduced fuel-saving cylinder deactivation and pushed its hauling capacities way beyond where they were in 2007. Nissan made the Titan XD an all new size. Ram has cultivated a huge gallery of configurations so it can offer some of the cheapest and fanciest half-ton trucks on the road.
Toyota’s still making the same old Tundra. Forget drive modes or advanced connectivity—the Tundra doesn’t even have two-zone climate control. But this truck’s got it where it counts: the engine’s solid, every piece feels overbuilt and the interface is completely idiot-proof.
Anyway, Toyota must be doing something right with this thing, because Tundras still command some of the highest resale values of any gas-powered pickup in America. Between that and this truck’s short three-year production run, I think the TRD Pro version will be some kind of classic someday.
What Is It?
The Toyota Tundra’s a standard-sized half-ton pickup truck that’s been around since the year 2000 , yet somehow is only in its second design generation. The current body style has been with us for about a decade.
The TRD Pro trim level landed on the scene for the 2015 model year as sort of a half-step between a sticker-and-tire package and a full-blown extreme variant like a Ford Raptor.
Other than some small decorative bits, the Tundra TRD Pro pretty much boils down to bigger tires, a stainless cat-back exhaust system, a rear sway bar and fat-diameter external-reservoir shocks that add nice cushion off-road and give your abrupt lane changes a little dramatic flare on the asphalt.
Why Does It Matter?
One of the most commonly recurring complaints I see in Jalopnik’s comments, forums and everywhere else people talk about trucks is some variation of: “why can’t I buy an honest truck anymore?”
People are spending serious money on ultra-modern F-150s and Silverados, but a whole lot of you seem to wish you could bypass the bling and refinement those offer for something that just masters the basics of being a truck.
From where I’m sitting, the Tundra TRD Pro feels like the ultimate execution of that. It’s simple to use and aesthetically low-key, but it sounds great and rides beautifully on everything from tarmac to as much off-road terrain as most people would subject their late-model daily driver to.
The Tundra TRD Pro matters because it seems like a great compromise between basic truck integrity and daily drivability with a reasonable sprinkling of personality. Too bad it’s so freaking expensive.

2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax
The TRD Pro series has been around for a couple of years, and if the 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax is to be taken into account, this series is here to stay. Unlike its Tacoma and 4Runner counterparts, this time it is Tundra’s turn to shine. Find out just what we mean by that.
Release Date
The release date for the 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax is still undetermined, but it should reach your nearest showroom by the end of 2017.
2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax Price
There is still no word on the official price tag for the price of the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax for this model, but since we have previous ones to go for, we can still hazard a guess.
The base model should go for roughly $36,000 which isn’t that much to say the least, but the price will go up as additional equipment and other costs keep mounting, so make sure you take this into account when you go shopping.
Exterior
The 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD is going to feature several additions that should get it above and beyond your regular truck. The slightly old-fashioned “TOYOTA” grille can also be found on other models, so it is the new LED fog lights that will help you differentiate between the models on your own.
The scoop on the hood gives it a more muscular appearance but otherwise does little to improve driving specs. In the rear, the first thing you’ll spot is the matching badge on the front doors and the exhaust. Oh, and the tow hook.
Interior of Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Luckily or not, Toyota was not facing a difficult task when it comes to the interior if the 2017 Tundra TRD. This is mostly because the older versions have pretty much covered that part and received numerous upgrades in terms of materials and gadgets alike.
For example, there is the Entune infotainment system complete with navigation, the signature App suite and connectivity includes USB ports, Bluetooth and WiFi. Even the audio system is top-notch.
We could not help but notice the new floor mats and of course the TRD logo that was left at all the prominent places, in case you forget what you are driving.
Seats are covered in fine leather, there is a blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert in case someone pops up in your rear and a 4.2-inch TFT display with all the relevant information regarding the vehicle. There is even the tilt gauge in case you decide to take your Tundra off-road.
Engine
The 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD pro CrewMax packs one mean engine under its hood. It is the 3.5 L V-6 with 278 hp @ 6,000 rpm as well as 265 lb-ft of torque @ 4,600 rpm.
As for the transmission, you get to choose between a 6-speed manual or the automatic transmission with the same number of speeds.You can choose front or all-wheel drive, as you see fit – i.e. in accordance with your taste and finances.

2017 Toyota Tundra
Bold styling and the Toyota nameplate are all that distinguish the Tundra in this highly competitive segment. Buyers looking for an alternative to American pickups will find a feature-filled lineup that includes capable off-roaders. A pair of V-8s and a six-speed automatic can be mixed and matched with rear- or four-wheel drive. Three cab and bed styles offer lots of configurability, plus the CrewMax has one of the most spacious interiors in the class. With that said, the Tundra is aging both visually and mechanically, and it trails all of its rivals—it’s simply begging for an update.
What’s New for 2017?
The Tundra received a minor redesign in 2014 and dropped its V-6 engine in 2015. Changes are minimal for 2017 models, with a tow-hitch receiver now standard on all Tundras. The Limited model adds standard power-adjustable front seats; an optional power sunroof is offered only with the crew cab. SR models can be coated in Barcelona Red Metallic, Super White, or black paint. Six more color options are added to the SR5 and the Limited. The TRD Pro loses most exterior colors but adds red trim to the palette.
Pricing
Original MSRP:
- Tundra SR: $31,415
- Tundra SR5: $33,225
- Tundra Limited: $40,675
- Tundra TRD Pro: $44,790
- Tundra Platinum $48,375
- Tundra 1794 Edition: $48,375
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Compared with newer and more advanced powertrains, the Tundra’s engines and sole transmission are positively prehistoric. Its top V-8 hasn’t been updated since George W. Bush was president, and its automatic transmission only offers six gears. The Tundra has two V-8 choices: The base engine is a 4.6-liter that makes 310 horsepower and 327 pound-feet of torque; the optional 5.7-liter V-8 is good for 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard and four-wheel drive is optional for both setups, but not for all cab-and-bed configurations. We’ve spent many hours with the Tundra’s larger engine. It’s reasonably peppy and can be quite quick. The six-speed automatic shifts slowly and is outdated compared with its rivals’ eight- and 10-speed automatics. Due to its firm suspension, every bump is transmitted into the Tundra’s cabin. The upgraded shocks on the TRD Pro and models with the TRD Off-Road package marginally improve the ride quality. Those in search of the best-riding pickup will prefer the Ram 1500 equipped with its optional air-ride suspension.

Fuel Economy
EPA fuel-economy testing and reporting procedures have changed over time. For the latest numbers on current and older vehicles, visit the EPA’s website and select Find & Compare Cars.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Oversized features and hard plastics distract from the Tundra’s spacious environment. It doesn’t offer amenities found in the competition, such as massaging seats, wireless charging pads, or even a heated steering wheel. On top of that, buyers who order the bucket seats will have to live with a comically large shifter in the center console. The only salvation is the 1794 Edition, which has luscious saddle brown leather-trimmed seating and ultra-suede accents. An abundance of cargo and storage space is expected with a pickup, and neither the Tundra nor its competitors falter in that regard.
The Car and Driver Difference
Infotainment and Connectivity
As with most things associated with the Tundra, its infotainment system is tolerable. Toyota’s Entune system with a 6.1-inch touchscreen is standard on base models. A 7.0-inch touchscreen is standard on the SR5 trim and up. The TRD Pro and Limited have an advanced package that adds more speakers and integrated navigation. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn’t offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as some rivals do. For the audiophiles out there, the Platinum model and the 1794 Edition have a 12-speaker JBL Audio system; it’s optional on the Limited CrewMax.
