    I'm picking up a 2024 Limited TRD OffRoad tomorrow. I'm actually trading a 2023 Raptor on it.

    I'm paying too much for the truck and it's full of rattles and frankly I love the tundra.

    Will 35s fit on the stock 20's on the TRD OffRoad?

    looking forward to learning more about the truck.

    Welcome to the club. Looking forward to hearing how you like it compared to the Raptor. My brother has a Raptor and it looks like an amazing truck but it is expensive. Its interesting to see how many people have been jumping over to the Tundra side. Thats a great truck and package your getting. Enjoy and send some pics when you get it

    Raptor is a great truck. It flies. It rides better than anything else ive owned, and i've owned a ton of cars. That said, it was $85,000. and i didnt pay msrp. i paid under. But dailying it and paying for it make me wonder why i have it when i have another toy in the garage. The Tundra is optioned similarly for my daily stuff and i'm 20k less.

    I think its a great move!

    Congrats.. I traded my 2017 Raptor for the 23 Tundra Limited I own now and i don’t think I’ll ever go back. Even though my Raptor was a fast and a tight driving truck, mine had lots of mechanical issues.

    Once you get the new ride share your thoughts on it. I'm a diehard Ford truck guy but I'm thinking about moving from a 19 Raptor to a new Tundra might do a Pro but haven't ruled out a Limited or Platinum. In MD I can't use Raptor and I just think one of the Tundra models might be a better ride as a daily driver. Looking forward to hearing how you like it.

    Will do - i'm in PA and all the baja goodies are useless daily. It rides amazing but I bet the tundra gets close for 20k less.

    I'll let you know!

    I don’t know how the newer raptors are but I had a few with the 6.2L engine as work trucks. We had a HUGE fleet of fords, Chevys, and a few dodges, trucks, SUV’s, and sedans. The raptor suspension was phenomenal in the desert, other than that, just a truck. We had lots of issues with the front axles breaking at the hub. Always seemed to be the left side.

    Very fun to drive in the desert when it’s not yours.

    After many years of driving everything in our fleet and having been a GM full size truck guy myself for a long time, I bought a tundra.
    It hasn’t been to a shop since (other than tires and alignment). Only time it hasn’t started was a dead battery, jumped it and it was fine.

    Looks great!!! Love the look of the limited with TRD package. Will be waiting to hear your thoughts on how it drives and power vs your ford!!! Did you get JBL in the Limited? How does that compare to the stereo in the Raptor. Congrats

    Welcome from Phoenix. Being new as well, I just joined the Tundra club this past November, and also being a former F150 guy, I can say the Tundra has been great. There are features I miss from my Ford's that Toyota doesn't offer, but there's also features the Tundra has that Ford didn't offer. I have the exact same truck as you, but in a better color :). The hybrid power is insane. Nice looking rig, enjoy!

    Raptor B&O killed it. Raptor was a nicer overall packaged truck. And it should
    Be. It was 20k more.

    Congrats on the truck and like you I'm in MD so don't really need the TRD but will drive them all and decide. I just missed out on a 24 Ice Cap platinum in PA that already had the TRD 3" lift and it looked NICE. And nice discount on price. Oh well maybe I'll find another one if I end up liking the Tundra once I drive it.

    Truck looks good.
