I feel your pain, that TRX is a pretty truck.


Too pretty...I caved and ordered one


Congrats!!!! Be a fun truck!!!


Thanks BOBO. It will definitely be fun, I just worry about simply being able to tow the SxS on a dual axle trailer. Going to be painful if that alone requires a WDH

My Buddy has a TRX and he pulls a 24' SCB boat with it.

I think you will be fine

Zero drone, but the cab is so quiet you can't really hear the rumble. Open the back slider and it gets more noticeable. Stand behind it and you'll definitely hear it. Cold start in the garage with windows down is glorious

Let me know what your spec is on the TRX. I know where you can find one arriving in the next month or so and give you the build sheet for it.

It will be after the first of the year most likely before I switch. Trying to enjoy no payments a little longer. Although I might just trade in mid hunting season

Well since I knew I would at some point later this year be switched to car allowance I went ahead and sold my 2018 Tundra. I paid 44,700 for it 39 months ago and sold for 45,000. Took the money paid off my house....now just waiting for the rollout of the new 2022 Tundra late this year

For whoever is looking for a capable truck with mileage, the 2021 6.7 liter power strokes are world better on fuel economy vs. the older 6 speeds.

With 35’s and 3:55 rear end im seeing 18.7-19.3 mpg driving 75-80 mph. My previous truck was getting 14-15 mpg with 35’s and 12-14 mpg with 37’s.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Stop messing my direction up. I'd just about talked my self in to a Tavspec tundra stage three build with Turbo charger.

2021 tremor. Rides like a half ton even after leveling kit on 35’s.

Gets 7.3 liter powerstroke mileage. 3/4 ton PSD has 1 ton rear leafs/axle and still rides like a dream. 475 hp/ 1075 lbs of torque. 15 sec 1/4 mile time. It’s the ultimate truck

I was looking at a tundra TRD before I bought this and I would have regretted it immensely. Only thing Toyota had over this was price.


It’s night and day difference in ride quality over my 2017

Have the fixed the fuel pump and 6 to 5 downshift when towing? Buddy has a 2020 with the 10 speed since March 2020. He’s at 128,000 miles, 4th fuel pump and 2nd transmission. Other than that he loves it roflmao

On a side note, that Tremor is a hot truck, congrats. Almost makes me think about going back to Ford when my Whale dies.

I only have 5k on it so I can’t speak to that....towing it doesent shift hardly at all...going up a grade it may shift into 9th but it normally holds the gear at 70-75mph.

Tows easier than the 6 speed and the 6 speed was good.

Id go F250 with carli first. You can get more travel with the Ford. I think the tavspec tundra is 13-14” though. I just can't get over mini me bed
