2020 Tundra from a 2016 Tacoma

Hello from Canada,

Let's just say I upgraded from Tacomaworld to Tundras. Just picked myself up a 2020 Tundra TRD Sport Premium Crewmax.

Bought the Tundra for the space as a baby seat does not fit in the back of the Tacoma well at all. I'm 6'4 and have to have my seat all the way back. With the little fellas baby seat behind the passenger seat it pushed the GF so far forward I could not see out the passenger window at all. Figure I better fix the issue before something bad happened.

So the tundra is here and holy shitballs there is a lot of room. I've never sat in a vehicle where I cant put the driver seat all the way back as I can't reach the pedals. Even if I did another 6 foot person could sit behind me quite comfortably.

I do miss some things about the Tacoma. For instance the dashboard on the Tacoma is well thought out and makes sense. The tundra dashboard is well...a bit of a clusterfuck? Seems as though they just find random places to add things. For example I cannot even see the heated seat button when I am driving, I have to lean over just to see it. And the heated seats in the Tundra are garbage to say the least.

I miss having the storage under/behind the back seats, and the compartments/outlet in the bed of the Tacoma.

That being said I do love this truck. The size, the power, the noise and the back window are all great.

I have to wait for window tint businesses to open back up so I can get that done. I have purchased weathertech mats already and working on getting a tonneau cover.

There are some other things I would like to change and would like some input from you guys.

Are there good options or someone on here where I can order a replacement for the SR5 badge on the arm rest?

Any good TRD PRO like rims or look alike rims out there? I've looked with not much luck, only finding them for the 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ. I want to get rid of the 20 inch rims as they are too vulnerable for curb scrape. Maybe do a 17 or 18 inch rim with KO2's.

Thanks and stay healthy friends!

Welcome! I also upgraded from a Tacoma to Tundra but 2017 Tacoma to 2019 Tundra

 

Did you have the same thoughts as me regarding certain things?

 

Yes, I moved over because of space for my wife and 2 kids and also they hated the jerky transmission and ride quality of the Tacoma, stated it was too bouncy.

They love the Tundra...lots of room and smooth ride for them.

As far as center console badge, try this:

There are TRD Pro rims for Tundra but why not just go aftermarket?

 

Completely willing to go aftermarket, I know there are a lot of replica rims out there just wondering if someone knew of something similar. I don't like 95% of the aftermarket truck rims out there. They look like they should be on an escalade or something. Thanks for the recommendation on the SR5 replacement!

Thats a nice truck you have there lol

 

Thanks I have to say the same to you aswell. Must admit wasn’t aware of this model until it was time really look. It checked all the boxes, and as a first time tundra owner I couldn’t be happier.

Agree about the tires definitely needs something more aggressive, probably going to stick with the 20s and was considering the KO2s

 

Hi! I agree with your thoughts about the interior layout

 

Yeah I was looking at those or the falkens have really great reviews too and are slightly cheaper. Buying tires for the 20 inch rim will be more expensive and I feel like I'd just end up scraping the rim like crazy as there is very little sidewall on the tire.

 

Yeah some things could definitely have been thought out more. Certain things just seem like an afterthought.
