Have both, a 2025 Hybrid TRD and a 2026 non-hybrid/non-TRD, both in 1794 trim. I will start off by saying that the Hybrid TRD rides better "stock" and has noticeably more power than the non-hybrid model. The hybrid power delivery is more instant per say than the non as well. You notice it everywhere and not just while towing or carrying a load.

Gas mileage on both is about the same with only giving up one mpg on average to the hybrid. Both trucks are running 275/65r20 tires and avg 15-16mpg. Have a heavy foot at times.

Ride quality. Again this is subjective, but to me the TRD Hybrid rides better than the non-TRD. I believe this is partly due to the additional weight of the hybrid, and TRD Bilsteins compared to the crap black Hitachi shocks on the non-TRD/Hybrid. If you plan to lift/level, keep in mind that the front CV axles on the non-TRD models do not handle the increased angles well and will need the red/silver CVs or a minimum a diff drop to compensate.

Interiors of the 1794 are great other than there is an annoying rattle in the door panels. Same on both trucks.. and all new Tundras I believe. There is an easy fix on youtube for this. Aggravating that my new 4runner has a tighter interior/less rattles from the dealer than these but oh well.

So far I have enjoyed these trucks. I can honestly say that when it comes time to trade-in, I will entertain getting another. Granted I do not need a diesel by then.
