Why I Traded for a 2025 Tacoma TRD Pro – i-FORCE MAX Power!

In this video, I talk about why I sold my 2025 Volkswagen Golf R and upgraded to a 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. As I prepare to move into my new home in the woods with a large 6-car garage, it was time for a vehicle that fits my lifestyle. The Golf R is an incredible performance car, but it just wasn’t right for the rough dirt road that leads to my new property.

The Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is built for adventure, and it’s the perfect match for my outdoor lifestyle—whether I’m off-roading, hiking, or heading deep into nature. I also share how my move from a home with a tuck-under garage to a new space with tons of room influenced my decision.

If you’re debating between a performance hatchback and a rugged truck, or you’re curious about real-life reasons behind switching from a Golf R to a Tacoma, this one’s for you.
