    In progress…
    So I took possession of a 2021 Super White TRD Pro last Friday. Here’s how it compares to the ‘19 Pro I traded in. Keep in mind this is my knee jerk subjective opinion.
    Better: 1. Push button start and keyless entry.
    2. Seats seem more comfortable. (Is there a difference in seats between the SR5 and
    the Limited?)
    3. Ride seems a tad stiffer. I know it’s the same suspension. Tires are the same
    and inflated to the same pressure but my hiney says it’s a tad stiffer.
    4. XM satellite reception is definitely better. It doesn’t cut out now in places where it
    did in the ‘19.
    5. Love the power locking tailgate.
    6. Dual zone climate controls.
    Not: 1. Other than the better XM reception I prefer the head unit in the ‘19. (This may
    change with time)
    The only thing that really bothered me was the front end was out of line and pulled to the right from the start. Took it back to the dealership yesterday and after they tried and failed 3 times to get it right I was not at all happy. When I left the dealership I had to drive with the steering wheel turned about 15 degrees to the left to go straight. It was exactly the same when they started. At least they didn’t charge me anything. Took it to a Goodyear tire center this morning and they got it dialed in perfectly first try. Truck drives perfectly now. Whoever ends up buying the ‘19 will be getting a fantastic truck.

    I went from my ghetto 2015 sr5 DC to a 2021 Limited CM 4x4. I noticed a big difference. I never used the XM radio, so I really can't tell you the difference. I do notice the handling. I do notice more of a body roll on turns especially in low speeds. I don't have the locking tailgate, but that is on my short list. I do like me the dual climate control versus the ghetto three knobs. I cannot believe the leg room I was missing out on the DC. I am like you whomever buys my 2015 will get one hell of a truck. The dealership where I serviced my truck had been on me for over a year wanting to take it off my hands. It only had 69k miles on it with flawless paint, but I had to pull the trigger this year.

    I think you will be okay. I do feel bad for all those who are having problems with their new trucks. I guess, I am have been lucky....no issues so far (knocking on wood, my head).

    I might be wrong...did the 2019 have a Fox suspension? I know the 2015 I had was running on Bilsteins, but the new ones have Fox

    You’re right, the 2019 had the exact same Fox suspension. It feels different though, maybe just because it’s new.

    I bet that is what it is, the suspension on your 2021 will break in a little and soften up over a few thousand miles.
