2022 Tundra TRD Pro Goes Off-Roading! Rocks, Mud, Hills, Ruts & More!

Hey everybody, Jeff Teigen, Raleigh. We're on California time right now because we're checking out the Tundra TRD Pro Solar Octane. We're going to see how it handles an obstacle course. This is going to be fun. So this might be a good example of how to check wheel articulation. You're going to see lots of unevenness, lots of ruts here. So let's see what the wheels do. Just like that. And then here, we got a big steep drop. See what the Tundra can do now. Woo! First thing we're going to do, get a lay of the land here. We've got our pitch and roll meter. We are actually in crawl control, and you achieve that by putting it into low, 4, crawl. And based on how you want to drive it, you're going to be in mid, low, high maybe, high 2. And it'll change the speed, but it's progressive. It keeps going. Now, the nice thing about this one is actually it can see the front wheels, it can show the back wheels. So you can see when they're turning right on the screen, and that might help you if you're in a treacherous spot, let's say, that's really tight. For example, this vehicle is a very large vehicle for the size trail that I'm going down right now. So we got a tight spot here. We're going to watch our sides. Make sure we clear this just fine. Oh, wow. Rumor has it, it's been confirmed, that's our friend Andre with the Fastlane. Hey, Jeff! Hey, what's up, Andre? Hey, what up? You're going to pay for that! Is he going through the mud? Let's see if we can watch Andre go through the mud. That's the Limited, I believe, with the TRD Off-Road package on it. That was incredible. Okay, so we got Crawl Control on the lowest setting here. This is really interesting because we're showing wheel articulation here. Let's give it some gas going up the hill here. Boy, there's so much low-end power here. Oh, we got a new obstacle. The rocks. Muhuhuhuhuh. Boy, there's such an art to doing this off-road type driving, I'll tell you. It's amazing. You guys can see in the camera, Phil wants me to go left a little bit, he wants me to You guys, this is a really, really steep hill. Wooo! Muhuhuhuhuhu. Look at the pitch and roll meter. Wow. So fun. So now take a look at this, we've got several ruts coming up. I'm in a rut. Well, take a look here. So you can see your angle of descent, your pitch and your roll. We gotta slow our roll, right? Slow your roll. Toyota said this was okay to film while going down the hill, so I'm gonna take them at their word that that's okay. Alright, we've got a steep hill that we're going down here, got it in Crawl Control, the lowest setting, so low two. The cool part for me is that Crawl Control sends it down at a regulated speed, nice and slow, and it takes a lot of the nervousness out of a hill like this. See that? You can see the angle is 30 degrees or so, and then this is watching out for the sides, this is watching out for the angles, the pitch, the roll. Here we go guys, time to make a splash. This is probably a great place to check out our friend TRD Pro here. Let's take a look at Solar Octane. We'll see some shading, we'll see some bright sunlight, so you can see how the color is affected by light. Now we're gonna walk around, you'll see the lighting, LED lights, you'll also see the room for a light bar. It's got parking sensors, remember this has Toyota Safety Sense 2.5, you'll see the camouflage here, Falcon, Wild Peak, all-terrain tires. I think they're TRD colored, you can sort of see a little bit of black in there. And then up here, now we'll see gloss black mirror caps. We're gonna walk all the way around I think, and then boom. Let's take a look inside TRD Pro. This is with the black interior, you can get it with cockpit red as well. Lots of room, it is a Crewmax after all my friends. You can see that beautiful panoramic roof. And then we'll come around here. Yes it comes with two headrests, I took it off, don't judge me. So this is something, it's got the sport pedals, some other features that you might enjoy. We've got power folding mirrors, memory seats, the light bar in the house. It's got a beautiful information display and also multimedia. We've got different drive modes that we can show, matter of fact, we're gonna show right now, because I'm gonna put it in reverse, so we can see different angles. See that, there's a lot of different orientation you can use in your TRD Pro. Locking rear diff of course, got electronic parking brake and brake hold, the wireless charging, the different drive modes, multi-terrain select, tow haul, downhill assist control, crawl, we're in low four, and then our console. Thanks everybody so much, we really appreciate it, see you next time.
