In hot climates, I would choose the 1794 because of the tan leather. It would be less hotter than the black. Experience has thought me that a black interior retains heat and makes your air conditioning work harder.
Just bought the 1794 and can't wait to get it. The brown leather interior is amazing, it has 20" custom wheels, matching fender flares and a 3" lift. I am so stoked!
I love,love my 2017 Tundra 1794 mica (Rootbeer) exterior with the western look interior I get a lot of compliments. I put on trd dual exhaust ,air intake ,turn all my interior lights led as well exterior and puddle lights and having fun doing it since I’m retired feel like a kid all over
I own the 2014 mica gold 1794 with the 20 " alloy wheels (not chrome). The only things I want to change are the fake wood inserts on the doors and dash, for real, or at least a more realistic looking wood. My cousin has a black platinum. I like everything on that except for the quilted pattern on the leather seats and dash. For the earlier F-150 fan that commented: I'm coming from a F-150 that was great, BUT...I was constantly having to fix something. Always something. My Tundra? 4 years in of troublefree driving and only scheduled/routine maintenance. Great job, Tundradude34! I really enjoy your channel.
Thank Mr. TundraDUde34 for this videos. I have a 2016 Toyota Tundra TSS. I took my tundra for service and I was offer a deal to trade in my truck for an upgrade. I didn't know what were the difference between the Limited , 1794 and Platinum. I really liked the interior of the 1794 but I dont like chrome on the outside of the truck. After watching this video I've made my decision what truck to purchase. Also I took a look at the sparks parts site to purchase parts for the truck when I purchase it. Thank you!
Question; Can you order a Tundra exactly the way you want it? Years ago you could not. Only option was a dealer search. I prefer the Platinum. The exterior wins me over.
I bought the 2018 1794 because I loved the interior. I did change out the door handles and mirror covers from chrome to black and I got them from sparksparts with the discount. I love the truck and found that the brown leather seats are much cooler the the black ones in the California weather. The black just gets too hot. I switched out my stock whells and tires for a set of fuel 20' wheels with 295 Toyo open country tires. Great set up.
like all of these video and love the Tundra 1794....just hope Toyota may add 2 options to it : 1. heated steering wheel and 2. heated rear seat......in Canada..u know it is really tough in Winter.。
1794 for me, when I went to the Toyota dealership to pick out my tundra the 1794 was my favorite! Plus they hold there value really well. Thinking about getting the UTE bed for my tundra
I am a big fan of the tundra and i love them to death, but my favourite is the double cab and i wish if there is a version of 1794 in double cab i would order one to my country ..
I’d assume there’s an option to get rid off all chrome on the 1794, especially the grille and the vented area. I know the handles, mirror caps can be altered but how easy would it be to color match the entire front of the 1794, and do you think it’s possible?
I agree with you 100% I started by not comparing apples to apples. I wanted a 2018/19 2500 Denali HD with the durmax. Then I rode in my cousins tundra crew max. I was beyond surprised. Now I’m looking at 2019 tundras when they hit the lot down the road in 2 weeks. I want a 1794 interior and I want all the chrome to be blacked out like the platinum. I also would like the tdr parts minus the front sway bar. I will be adding the supercharger from the start. I really would like to wait for the total redesign but not sure if it will ever happen. I wish they had better electronics inside. I heard the tdr pro will have a jbl audio system. Not sure that’s an upgrade but it’s start in the right direction. Any of you supercharger guys know about the warranty? I was told that the supercharge can’t be installed or purchased until after the truck purchase. Thank you very much and I look forward to joining the tundra family
Shawn, check out Sparks Parts website for all your parts needs. Promo code TundraDude34 saves you 5% 👍🏼 also, they sell and install superchargers so email them at sales@sparksparts.com with any questions
Several months ago I bought the 1794 over the Platinum trim because of the saddle brown interior, which I personally like. I'm thinking about de-chroming the grill and front bumper, not much of a chrome guy myself. Lol!
Maybe i should sell my colored caps, buy chrome ones and have them painted 😜 Platinum all the way but I would love to see the cowhide in a Platinum for schmitz and giggles
I am partial to the 1794. That leather looks like British tan leather. Its kind of like stepping into a old English cigar shop, or English taylor .. like Kingsmen. Yeah, its the Kingsmen truck! Maybe I need to pickup some spy mods from Sparks Parts!
1794 interior, quick sand paint color with no chrome, TRD Off-road package with bronze-ish color wheels, 3 inch lift, TRD dual exhaust with black tips for starters.
Best Tundra channel on the web! End of year I'm saving for either used ('16-17) 1794 or Platinum 4x4. I love them both so I'm going to get the one that is the BEST DEAL! :)
@@TundraDude34 Question, is the TRD Off Road package w/ the Limited worth it over the Platinum that comes without the TRD package? How do the rides differ?
I like my Limited very much, though I contemplated the possibility of a Platinum, the 1794 would be to my liking providing the leather was a darker almost chocolate brown. An no, my fog lights don’t flutter.
1794... more unique, saddle Tan interior, less hot, less dirt revealing,,,, the black interior shows everything. Aside from that these are the best Trucks out there.
You nailed it when u said “flashy”. I like the Platinum interior, that All black is nice. Remember guys, subscribe, click the thumbs up and slap that notification button to stay up to date on ALL your Tundradude34 infotainment.
I prefer the Platinum. I like the 1794 interior, but the Platinum is overall the better look. FWIW-I have '15 CM Limited with the chrome front bumper and my fogs move around a lot! Although I've never noticed the light shuttering like what you've experienced at night.
I like the 1794 better. The brown interior is awesome, and you cant get the TRD off road package on platinum. However it is not a popular option at dealerships.
I chose the Platinum because the 1794, at least before the 2018 model just had the big ugly grill. The 18 grill is so much better. Great improvement. I had a 2008 Tundra Limited and it had the orange interior. Wife hated it, but I didn’t really mind it
The main part that is keeping me back from the tundra Platinum or the 1794 is the fact that it does not come with full black interior as far as the trim pieces and the headliner in the visors.... Debating between the tundra and the 2019 ram
The grill on my limited is the same as the 1794. However, my grill has a dull or flat insert. I never noticed the platinum has the SR5 honeycomb insert. Obviously, I prefer the limited dull bars, I hated the chrome bars on my 16 SR5.
TundraDude34 The grill, no matter how you slice it, is ridiculous. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It's the leading edge of the vehicle and it's plastic? On the upside, if you're a goof and can't drive, it's cheap to replace. However, if you're not accident prone, those stone chips suck! Chrome or painted though, chrome wins at hiding the inevitable.
Me too. Have an '08 Limited and it's throwing codes. I work too hard for flashing lights. Excited to beat the snot out of a brand new truck. I will keep an eye on the transmission developments. I haul a little excavator around sometimes and power is fine, just wondering with all the diesel restrictions that gas trucks will need to improve transmissions for more efficient towning. I've run my truck hard, I've had some issues. At the end of the day, I drive new rentals (that are base, mind you) but they just don't feel so damn good.
Hmmm...would have to really think about it. I'm still kinda half and half on the whole thing. I don't mind the chrome and the interior is kinda growing on me on the 1794 but . . . . I would like to have the choice between interior colors, not just exterior colors. Are they doing the TRD Sport this year, or next year? Or was that a one time thing... never did make it out to take a look or take a test drive. I liked that extra hood scoot...or was that optional? One thing that makes choosing the 1794 a little easier is that it comes in the crewmax mold standard. I have yet to see a 1794 in the double cab mold and I must say I do NOT like the double cab. Crewmax is smexy. XD
Shauntell Holm I hear they are doing it for 2019 as well. Dealers seem to be pushing the Regional package vs the TRD Sport at least in my area. I don't know why. I was not aware of the TRD Sport until I went to the dealership and saw it. I was literally a signature away from buying a Platinum when I saw a TRD Sport being unloaded of the truck. I had thought the Platinum was the only models with color keyed bumpers and grill. To me the TRD Sport is a dressed down version of the Limited and Platinum. It has a lot of the major features like the top trims, I.e. the LED headlights (smoked version), colored keyed bumpers, powered rear window, etc. It doesn't have all the "posh" things that the Limited and Platinum has that I really don't need and care for, i.e. climate control, leather seats (which I actually like and had custom installed from local car upholstery) and a few other "minor" things that I will never miss. Plus the hood scoop makes it stand out. Now some will say you could spend a few thousand more and get the Platinum. I saved about $6k. Look at the standard features between the two. I took that savings, added a TRD exhaust, leather seats and working on adding additional mods I want instead of paying for the standard "posh" features I don't need.
Hey, thanks for the info! Just to be clear, what are the "posh" features you are talking about? If I remember right, the TRD Sport does come with skid plates and a rear sway bar as well, correct? What is the drive like in comparison to the platinum or 1794 levels? They do not always have those trims available where I am at. It is typically either the basic model, the SR5 or the Limited, and even then the Limited is usually sold in the Double Cab mold. I don't know WHY that is so popular out here. Possibly because of the box space. There are a lot of folks who tow goose-necked trailers where that extra box space is necessary but . . . I just don't like the look of it! Anyway, are the "posh" features including the leather seats? For someone of my level where I may not have the extra cash to do those extras off-market, does it really save me some money? And how does it affect the value of the truck? I have always considered eventually adding a supercharger. From what I understand they not only increase power, speed and torgue but do ever so slightly improve the gas mileage. Is there any truth to that last statement, though? I don't remember... I may need to look it up again.
Very true. I may not always necessarily like or want the same options as someone else. For instance, as I stated earlier I do not necessarily dislike the chrome. I LOVE the moon roof option but I HATE the double cab. It just looks awkward to me. And like you've mentioned in a few of your videos, in fact other owners have said the same thing in other Tundra ownership videos that I have seen, Toyota makes their options and trim levels for to the point. One gent had mentioned that to buy a Ford F-150 he would have paid $3,000 - $4,000 OVER the sticker price just to get the options he wanted, and he hadn't wanted a whole bunch of fancy-schmancy options, just a simple, down to earth truck. He got all the options he wanted in .... I think it was the SR5? Or the Limited... I don't recall. But that is another reason I will stick with Toyota. No gimmics in the trim level options. There are still extras you can add on...like tow mirrors, in my case, or even the moon roof as it is now, but that is neither here nor there in the long haul. It's just basic wants and needs in the truck.
From my research on the TRD Sport vs Platinum, No leather seats (which includes passenger power seats. Driver side is powered), no climate control, no moonroof, I think the Platinum has the signal blinker on the mirrors (not sure) but the TRD does not. That's all I can think of. I'm sure some Platinum owners can chime in but the list is not long and they are probably "little things". Now the TRD has the Suspension, TRD sway bars and TRD shift knob. It does not have the TRD skid plate. The TRD Sport can tow more than the Platinum. Overall aftermarket parts do not help with resale but I have read adding leather seats may slightly. The cool thing about the Tundra is the seat fabric is easy to remove making it simple to add leather. Also, that hood scoop changes the look big time. The ride is good. I did not spend a lot of time driving the Platinum but I did notice less body roll with the Sport. I felt the Sport was more responsive on handling.
Capitol Toyota has a lifted 2018 Tundra they're advertising here on the tube, seems to be a 4" lift so TSS must not be an issue. the truck also has a really cool light bar in the bulge.
In hot climates, I would choose the 1794 because of the tan leather. It would be less hotter than the black. Experience has thought me that a black interior retains heat and makes your air conditioning work harder.
Between the two, I would have to go 1794 due to the availability of the TRD OR package.
Definitely the Platinum!! I don’t like the Western Style and wood trim
Just bought the 1794 and can't wait to get it. The brown leather interior is amazing, it has 20" custom wheels, matching fender flares and a 3" lift. I am so stoked!
What year???
Just bought a 2021 Tundra 5.7 iforce PLATINUM! 🔥🔥🔥 color match and all black is CLEAN! 🔥
Still happy!!???
@@George-on3zm yes! Love the truck! 😁

Happy to have you Jerry!
I love both of them. But I ended up with 1794 western look.
Just got the 1794 and LOVE it! So happy I got that version.
1794 for sure! Also starting to really think about a 4 Runner
I like the 1794 because of the tan interior mainly, gives it a good look.

I like the tan leather but have never been in a platnium or the 1794 but since being in Texas I think I would go with the 1794
I prefer the platinum. I think body color looks the best. Thanks for looking into the fog light issues for us.👍👍
Anytime
I bought a 2008 SR5 double cab V8. Drove it over 9 years. I now drive a 2018 1794 with the moon roof, TRD Exhaust. Love it.
like all of these video and love the Tundra 1794....just hope Toyota may add 2 options to it : 1. heated steering wheel and 2. heated rear seat......in Canada..u know it is really tough in Winter.。
That would be great for the colder regions for sure
Remote start from the factory would be nice. Heated rear seats would be nice too
1794 for me, when I went to the Toyota dealership to pick out my tundra the 1794 was my favorite! Plus they hold there value really well. Thinking about getting the UTE bed for my tundra
If I was willing to spending for that trim level, I'd go with the 1794. I really like the interior color.
Love the platinum!!! Just bought a 2018!!!
How ya like it????
Good description. I like the 1794 best. It would have to be one of those two for me.
I love the look of the 1794 and I love chrome wheels, just not those chrome wheels.
Mike
Yea definitely

Platinum exterior/ 1794 interior with a turbo diesel engine and 6.5 box.
Henry H YES!
I drove the Nissan Titan XD with the turbo diesel. I didn't like it at all, very slow and loud
Platinum for me. Love it
Several months ago I bought the 1794 over the Platinum trim because of the saddle brown interior, which I personally like. I'm thinking about de-chroming the grill and front bumper, not much of a chrome guy myself. Lol!
I absolutely love the interior
We like the 1794 with the TRD package
That's what I want to get. I'd like a TRD Pro with the 1794 interior if i could get it
@tundradude34 you should talk about how much are people is paying to renew the tags on different states , I just pay $688 here in California DMV.😡
Thats cause the stupid california government people want to charge higher for vehicles with bad fuel economy
With you buddy. Wish we could get 1794 interior with platinum exterior with trd pro suspension and exhaust right from factory.
I'm in Austin, Texas! 1794 all the way! Black wheels and emblems incoming!
Maybe i should sell my colored caps, buy chrome ones and have them painted 😜 Platinum all the way but I would love to see the cowhide in a Platinum for schmitz and giggles
I am partial to the 1794. That leather looks like British tan leather. Its kind of like stepping into a old English cigar shop, or English taylor .. like Kingsmen. Yeah, its the Kingsmen truck! Maybe I need to pickup some spy mods from Sparks Parts!
I have the 1794 and I love the inside is crazy
Would have loved either but I need more towing capacity, so Limited double cab 2WD was the choice I made.
Platnium for me but I like that suede insert on the 1794
I have the 1794 but blacked out all the chrome. I love the leather color but hate the wood trim.
1794 all day. But I own one.
Mark I have the opposite problem as you: 1794 exterior with TRD package and the Platinum interior
1794 interior, quick sand paint color with no chrome, TRD Off-road package with bronze-ish color wheels, 3 inch lift, TRD dual exhaust with black tips for starters.

@@TundraDude34 Question, is the TRD Off Road package w/ the Limited worth it over the Platinum that comes without the TRD package? How do the rides differ?
The Platinum ride is a lot smoother. Make sure you test drive both
I have 1794 edition and I love the truck
I can see why! 👍🏼
Same here just picked up a 1794 2020 Brown and I love it!!
I like my Limited very much, though I contemplated the possibility of a Platinum, the 1794 would be to my liking providing the leather was a darker almost chocolate brown.
An no, my fog lights don’t flutter.
Another point goes to the chrome end cap owners 😁
What year truck you have?
They are both very nice. But I am partial to the SR5. Not just for the looks but for the bench front seats. Sometimes I need to seat 3 in the front.
1794... more unique, saddle Tan interior, less hot, less dirt revealing,,,, the black interior shows everything. Aside from that these are the best Trucks out there.
You nailed it when u said “flashy”. I like the Platinum interior, that All black is nice.

Love my 1794. But all tundra are great
Hate interior of 1794 but like the chrome exterior. If only they made the limited with cooled seats. Limited has nice look overall.
Platinum all the way! Power, off-road capabilities, with a sprinkle of luxury and sleekness.
Team SR5 TRD Off-road!
Camera is good. 😳!! Carl was on the proper side!!!
I prefer the Platinum. I like the 1794 interior, but the Platinum is overall the better look.

team 1794. I
would tone down the chrome on the door handles and the mirror caps and call it good
It’s depends on what color you like.to me I like the 1794, and just bought the 2019 1794
Congrats! That interior is awesome
I chose the Platinum because the 1794, at least before the 2018 model just had the big ugly grill. The 18 grill is so much better. Great improvement. I had a 2008 Tundra Limited and it had the orange interior. Wife hated it, but I didn’t really mind it

1794 all day :)
Still waiting to see you tests the new safety features... wish these trims were in double cab.
I agree. I dont see the double cabs happening though
Its kind of BS not having these trims in DC. :( Is it too much to ask to be comfy and have a usable box?
With hotter climates, the 1794 sounds better. It also has the option for the TRD package. The chrome doesn’t bother me
Nice video man, by the way I love my 1794
The main part that is keeping me back from the tundra Platinum or the 1794 is the fact that it does not come with full black interior as far as the trim pieces and the headliner in the visors.... Debating between the tundra and the 2019 ram
I will say that the Platinum Interior color flow well together
Team 1794 w/the TRD package
platinum for me I like to keep it simple
I like the 1794 over the platinum.
Waiting for 2019 model.
If you get a new exhaust then I will definitely buy your trd exhaust. I live in north jersey
NJ All Day 👍🏼
I'm still torn between the 2. I love the interior of the 1794 and the fact that it has the TRD option but I hate the chrome.....
Sparks parts has all the parts needed to dechrome that puppy! 😁
@@TundraDude34 oh dam. That was a quick reply. Much appreciated my guy 👍🏼. Now the next problem is do I wait for the 2020 model
Nothing wrong with waiting. You may be able to get a ridiculous deal on whats on the lot today. Worth a try
The grill on my limited is the same as the 1794. However, my grill has a dull or flat insert. I never noticed the platinum has the SR5 honeycomb insert. Obviously, I prefer the limited dull bars, I hated the chrome bars on my 16 SR5.
Yea that was some loud chrome lol

If you really want to save money right now. LOOK FOR A DOUBLE CAB. Everyone, for some odd reason wants a crewmax.

Platinum over the 1794 all day long.
Twice on Sundays?
1794 has TRD options. It's why I am struggling with the same decision.

One gent had mentioned that to buy a Ford F-150 he would have paid $3,000 - $4,000 OVER the sticker price just to get the options he wanted, and he hadn't wanted a whole bunch of fancy-schmancy options, just a simple, down to earth truck. He got all the options he wanted in .... I think it was the SR5? Or the Limited... I don't recall. But that is another reason I will stick with Toyota. No gimmics in the trim level options. There are still extras you can add on...like tow mirrors, in my case, or even the moon roof as it is now, but that is neither here nor there in the long haul. It's just basic wants and needs in the truck.
From my research on the TRD Sport vs Platinum, No leather seats (which includes passenger power seats. Driver side is powered), no climate control, no moonroof, I think the Platinum has the signal blinker on the mirrors (not sure) but the TRD does not. That's all I can think of. I'm sure some Platinum owners can chime in but the list is not long and they are probably "little things". Now the TRD has the Suspension, TRD sway bars and TRD shift knob. It does not have the TRD skid plate. The TRD Sport can tow more than the Platinum. Overall aftermarket parts do not help with resale but I have read adding leather seats may slightly. The cool thing about the Tundra is the seat fabric is easy to remove making it simple to add leather. Also, that hood scoop changes the look big time. The ride is good. I did not spend a lot of time driving the Platinum but I did notice less body roll with the Sport. I felt the Sport was more responsive on handling.
I’ll debunk that myth. I have the paint matched plastic corners. Mine don’t shake.
2021 1794 with TRD pack...!!!
Waiting for 19 model
I don't like the interior of the 1794. I would probably go with the Platinum.
Neither, no std box available..that goes for trd pro too, unfortunately
So the new 1794 is the old platinum. Cuz I have the brown leather and all chrome. And the new platinum is the limited edition
The 1794 is a western theme 2014 and up Platinum, but yes it shares a lot of features from the 2nd gen Platinums
1794 interior and platinium exterior
Capitol Toyota has a lifted 2018 Tundra they're advertising here on the tube, seems to be a 4" lift so TSS must not be an issue. the truck also has a really cool light bar in the bulge.
Yep...comes down to what you want. for me the 1794 interior is too twangy.
MY preference is the limited, I don’t like the triangle stitching in the platinum, the 1794 interior is just ugly.
Man i love that 1794 interior 😁

Platinum. Hello
Took votes at my house. That's 3 for the Platinum. Too much chrome and butterscotch on the 1794.
Where's the diesel...?
