    Hello Everyone
    How are you? I am a shade tree gear head. I joined this group not because I already have a Tundra TRD Pro, but because I am actively looking for a 2014 through 2021 and wanted to get some advice/insights from current owners. I am a V8 Naturally Aspirated motor guy. Here are my first couple of questions.
    1) How well have these motors and transmissions held up? I have a 2005 $Runner with 275,000 on the clock and no problems other than an alternator and shocks.
    2) I have seen one or two TRD Pros with 285s on them and some with 275s on them. Is the 285 an upsize?
    3) What do you think of the A-Trac compared to a rear locker.
    That's it for now. Many thanks in advance.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

    You'll likely get more responses from the 2.5 Gen forum, but from what I have seen, the answer to your first question is VERY well!
