By Erica Mueller Published: 2022-09-03T16:00:55+00:00 Updated: 2026-08-19T16:01:52+00:00 ![Featured image]() With a package like the offroad TRD Pro from Toyota, it’s hard to go wrong. But you still have a major choice to make – get the full-size [Tundra]() or the mid-size [Tacoma]()? In this Tundra vs. Tacoma video, Publisher Tim Esterdahl and Video Editor Philip Van der Vossen get behind the wheels of these trucks and put them to the test on an off-grid camping trip in Colorado. ### Tundra vs. Tacoma Most people would say the choice between these trucks comes down to the size of the interior, but when you’re off-roading, you really have to pay more attention to handling, torque, length of the wheelbase, ground clearance and onboard technology like crawl control than the actual size of the truck. In this video, Esterdahl and Van der Vossen try to cover everything you need to know about each of these trucks if you’re planning to spend a lot of time off-road. ### Welcome to the TRD Pro off-road battle! While there are some definite similarities between these two trucks, there are plenty of differences as well. Air down those tires and enjoy the ride as we take these TRD Pro trucks on an epic off-road adventure! Then let us know which truck you’d pick and why. This is a longer video than some we publish so we’re going to break it down for those of you who may be looking for some very specific information. 00:00 Introduction 01:23 Tacoma TRD Pro Walk-Around 04:47 Tundra TRD Pro Walk-Around 08:13 Where are the Tow Hooks? 09:49 Tacoma TRD Pro on the Trail 13:19 Tundra TRD Pro on the Trail 14:15 Interior Space Comparison 16:41 More Tundra on the Trail 17:51 Conclusion [Embedded video]() **Related posts** - [2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid: Could it reach 38 MPG?]() - [What’s new for the 2022 Toyota Tacoma?
