Good review Joe. I’ve got a 2019 TRD Pro and will never sell it. I will take reliability and capability over technology and MPGs. I realize I am in the minority but I can buy a lot of gas with the money I will not be spending replacing an Engine or Transmission. I am super excited to see the 2022, but the late model V8s will hold their value so not a huge issue if someone is on the fence and buys a 2021 and later changes their mind.

Great review! I'm about to pull the trigger on a '21 tundra nightshade edition. Not because I'm skeptical of the coming redesign, I'm actually very much looking forward to it. That said, I want my next truck to be my last truck and the current tundra is all but guaranteed to last for as long as I want to drive it. It's missing some tech and refinement, but it's rock solid where it matters most and it's less expensive than most of the competition at about $50k before any sort of discount, which may not even be possible get a discount in the current market. So should I drop $50k on a '21 limited nightshade or wait for the new one?

Do they make a trd version of the Toyota tundra Joe. I saw the 2022 looking forward to the video of the 2022 have a good day

The only outdated side of this truck is the inside and mainly the dash and features .The outside looks as good as anything on the market.

Good truck, and review, thinking about a TSS edition but I'm wondering, were you exhausted doing this or was the speed of the playback slightly slow? You sounded more yourself at 1.25 X speed than at normal speed.

That Silver Sky Metallic (for every model except the Camry and Highlander, which for the latter, is Celestial Silver Metallic) looks great on this Tundra. I can't wait for the 2022 refresh of this truck. I'm going to miss the ungodly sound of that 3UR-FE's clutch fan when you first start it up.
