    Folks dont want to admit it, but once the bugs are worked out the 4thgen is just a better truck in every way.
    Most old gen folks dont want to admit it but most would do the upgrade if they were handed the cash to do so. I say this as a 3rd gen owner who will do the same in a few years 😅

      It's a better pavement princess truck for sure, it isn't a better truck in any way. I'd have hand crank windows if I could. I'll let you keep the shock absorbers on your seat. The lack of a two door/access cab in off-road trim is a crime. Now you have to choose between a bed in name only or a trail limo that has the breakover angle of a Camry.

      Better… hmm. Refined… undeniably. If this drivetrain proves reliable it’s a solid winner.

      You and me both! A lot of folks forget how much hate the 3rd gen got when it was first released and they switched to the 2GR V6.

    I maintained my Subaru wrx sti up to 150k bfore a preventable Subaru sickness that I have ignored finally bit me in the butt.. being a 4 banger turbo I see alot of similarities with these 4th gen that I happily love owning everyday taco sport premium. It puts a smile on me when I can change the oil without lifting the car up and don’t get me started about acces to the damn spark plugs. Anyways sir appreciate the video. I wanted a bronze oxide but I couldn’t wait 2 months for a delivery so I ended up with a blue crush..

    how do you feel about car care nut saying oil should be changed every 3 months regardless of mileage to be as reliable as an NA engine? That's what does it for me for any turbo vehicle.

      @teamoildrop  Місяць тому +1

      @@uberleet01 I will aim for 3k mile intervals regardless. I’ve always been a 5k or less guy but the addition of the turbo makes the need for that oil to be that much cleaner. If I’m approaching 3 months and haven’t hit 3k, I may just do it regardless but not sweat it. The glory of the 4th gen is how easy the change is.

    I think no matter how well you maintain the 4th gen, it's gonna break down before 100k miles. Not shit talking, just going by all the turbo'd engine I own and the hell I've gone through with them.

      it helps keeping dirt from sitting in the crevices on the top side of the engine. Took mine off my 3rd gen and went mudding and it was way dirtier without it then with it on.
