The price surprised me before I got very far into this 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD Rally walkaround. Here was a crew-cab, twin-turbo V6 truck with off-road hardware, upgraded seats and a distinctive appearance, and the figure I was discussing was about $62,000.
Having owned a 2022 Tundra, I came to this truck with a few things I already liked and a few complaints I wanted to revisit. The TRD Rally package gives the SR5 more personality and useful equipment, but it does not erase every everyday annoyance.
TRD Rally brings hardware with the heritage colors
The yellow, orange and red accents are easy to spot on the grille, wheels, doors and tailgate. I like that the package has something behind the graphics: Bilstein shocks, skid plates, an electronically controlled locking rear differential and off-road drive controls. This truck was also wearing Michelin tires, which caught my attention during the walkaround.
Toyota built the TRD Rally Package around its Baja racing heritage. It is an SR5-based configuration, so think of it as a way to add off-road equipment and some cabin upgrades to that trim. It is not the same truck or suspension specification as a TRD Pro.
Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and downhill assistance are part of the equipment discussion in the video. Crawl Control manages low-speed progress in low range, helping the driver concentrate on steering. This particular video is a walkaround, however, rather than a back-to-back trail test against another truck. The equipment list explains the package’s appeal; it does not establish how it compares on the same obstacle.
The nonhybrid V6 delivers familiar Tundra power
Under the hood is the nonhybrid i-FORCE twin-turbo V6, rated at 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. I have spent plenty of time with this generation of Tundra, including owning a 2022 model. I like the powertrain’s performance, although the hybrid version offers more output.
That does not mean buyers should treat every Tundra as interchangeable. This truck’s configuration, equipment and door-jamb labels determine what it can carry. In the video I read a 1,380-pound occupant-and-cargo label and note a separate 22-pound load-capacity reduction. Buyers need to read both labels on their own truck and account for passengers, accessories, cargo and trailer tongue weight.
I did not have a verified configuration-specific tow rating available during this walkaround, so I am not substituting Toyota’s lineup-wide maximum here. Match the truck’s exact configuration to Toyota’s towing information before buying it for a particular trailer. This review’s appeal is the equipment and value discussion, not a new towing result or a long-term reliability verdict.
Storage works, but bed access still bothers me
The nonhybrid layout leaves useful storage under the rear seat, where I demonstrate fitting my bag. Accessing it takes a little effort, but having that space available is a practical benefit. On hybrid versions, battery packaging changes what is available underneath the rear seat.
I also still like the center console’s sliding tray. It gives me a place for the everyday items I want to grab quickly, such as sunglasses and a wallet, with more space underneath. The cabin includes SofTex-trimmed seats with heritage-color stitching, power adjustment and heated front seats, so it does not feel like the graphics are doing all the work.
My long-running frustration is getting into the bed when the tailgate is down. The reviewed truck does not solve that problem with an integrated step, although an accessory bed step is an option. That is worth trying yourself before deciding whether you need to add one.
The composite bed has tie-downs and slots for dividers. From my experience with this generation, it can be slippery in winter, and a bed mat can help. A mat was listed for this review truck, but it was not installed when I filmed it. I also point out an exterior trim gap that still bothers me. Those are the details a quick specification comparison misses.
The roughly $62,000 price is appealing, with caveats
The figure I discuss in the video is about $62,000 for this crew-cab truck. That is the price reference from the review, not a promise about today’s inventory or a quote for every TRD Rally configuration. Given the combination of off-road equipment and cabin features, I expected the number to be higher.
There are still compromises. This SR5 has analog gauges with a smaller center display instead of the full digital instrument panel found in higher trims. I am not a fan of the glossy black cabin surfaces, and I remain frustrated by subscription packaging for connected features. Check the current services, trial periods and costs for the specific truck rather than relying on prices mentioned in an older video.
For me, TRD Rally earns a place on the shopping list because the package combines useful equipment with a distinctive look at a price that surprised me. Compare the actual sticker with an SR5 equipped the way you want it, then decide whether the extra hardware and cabin features are worth paying for. The original video also includes a Screen ProTech promotional segment.
