Toyota is making improvements with the 2025 Tundra models...

Hey guys, I was curious if anyone else is a little disappointed with the 3rd gen TRD 4x4 rims. I like the matte black color and overall spoke design, but putting 20in rims on a “off-road” package seems a little strange to me. For off-roading I really want a good tire with plenty of sidewall so I can comfortably air down and not worry about my rims getting scratched, 20s are about the last rim I would want for that purpose! I would understand these rims for a TRD sport trim that’s a little more focused for street and dirt but for the 4x4 off-road I feel like they could have stepped it up. I get that the TRD Pro is their more purpose driven offroad vehicle, but I feel like a majority of people who opt for the TRD 4x4 have the intent of taking it out in the dirt. I feel like a more purposeful TRD 4x4 rim might make sense. Would love to hear thoughts on this, do you guys like the 20s? Or would a 17in off-road option (that isn’t the $3500 TRD Pro rims) be appreciated

I just had a 2025 Tundra TRD Rally Package as a press vehicle for a week while I was in Texas. For some background, I had a 2022 SR5 Tundra with a build month of December 2021 and a 2023 Platinum with a build month of Feb 2023. So, in all fairness, I haven't driven a "newer" Tundra build post Toyota finalized the engine issues. Now with those recalls being taken care of, I feel like Toyota has had time to really refine this truck. My last two Tundras had window rattles issues, wind noise, center console rattles, and more. This truck though, was SOLID! I was honestly super impressed. There was minimal wind noise while on the highway, and it was actually super windy in TX too. The interior was rattle-free, and the windows did not shake like my last two trucks did. I was already contemplating getting a new Tundra, and this may have just sealed the deal for me.
