Why Is Toyota Racing This Tundra On 37s? Deep Dive! | Ep. 326
Episode 326
Friday, 10 April, 2026
( https://www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! Is Toyota finally building a true Raptor and TRX killer? In this episode, Andre sits down with Skylar Watson, a Senior Engineer at Toyota, to go behind the scenes of their factory-backed Mint 400 effort. They didn't just bring a show truck to the desert; they brought a pre-production Hybrid Tundra TRD Pro and put it through one of the most grueling off-road races in America. From the decision to run 37-inch tires to the surprising performance of the stock i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, we break down how this "passion project" is serving as a real-world rolling laboratory for future Toyota trucks.The guys also dive deep into the rumors surrounding the "TRD Hammer" trademark and what it means for the enthusiast market. Skylar shares what it’s like to navigate the "carnage" of the desert at night and how the engineering team is using "Genchi Genbutsu" (going to the source) to improve the trucks you can actually buy at the dealership. Whether you're interested in the instant torque of hybrid racing or hoping for a factory wide-body Tundra, this deep dive covers the future of Toyota’s off-road DNA.( http://www.patreon.com/tflcar ) Visit our Patreon page to support the TFL team!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
