Clutch start cancel is only available on 4WD models. It’s for off-road use in case you stall while climbing in terrain.
Interesting & a great feature! I had never seen or heard of it before!
Learn something new every day. I have a 2013 base cab 2 wheel drive and did a bypass with a fuse to get rid of having to depress the clutch for starting.
My grandfather has a 2006 Tacoma, the SR5 extended cab model with the 4 cylinder, 2wd, and the automatic. He has had it for probably over 10 years at this point, and I can't think of a time when he's told me it was in the shop for something serious. He's a mechanic so he does most stuff on it himself, and I can't ever think of a time when I've seen the hood up, except when he's checking the oil. Same for my grandma's 2006 Saturn Vue with the Honda V6. Plus, he drives 100-200 miles all though Detroit, every day, for work, and it never lets him down. He did have the frame replaced a few years ago, and it was out for probably 4 or 5 months. He had a Silverado loaner (I think a 2019) and he said it was such junk that he requested a new loaner half way through. He got switched to an F-150, and said it was a night and day difference. This would make his 4th Toyota, after a 97 Tacoma, 87 SR5 (which I was told is still on the road in northern MI with upwards of 500k miles on it), and a 90 SR5. He loves those Toyotas, and I can see why. I think his probably has 260k miles or higher on it at this point. I can attest to the ride quality though, it's terrible, especially on our Michigan roads with all kinds of potholes. His has a much nicer center console, a full length one at that, which is probably because it's an automatic and that it is the SR5. It has very nice full bucket seats, as well as 2 FORWARD facing foldable rear seats, unlike the American small trucks with the sideways jump seats. They are tiny, but much more usable than the sideways jump seats. I also LOVE the startup sound of the 2.7, it sounds so raspy.
I will give Toyota serious credit for pouring money into decade old trucks for the frames. I'm not a Toyota fan, and I much prefer domestic trucks and cars, but that is not something that most companies are willing to do. It shows their understanding for quality vehicles.
Just got a 2011 2wd 5 speed Tacoma regular cab today I’m so stoked.
Also beware if you’re looking at the 03 to 09 4Runners and gx470s, they were not included in the frame recall but also had severe frame rot issues, specifically under the front passenger door. It’s not as public knowledge, so be careful if you’re considering them and make sure to check!
Thanks
My 99 has a clutch start cancel. It's awesome when youre working on the truck and dont want to get in and out to start it and stop it.
My mom owns a 2011 and I've driven it as a rental when I come home to visit occasionally. It is an amazing little truck! The manual is surprisingly good and while yes that 2.7 motor is like an asthmatic panda, it just keeps going. In the last 13 years with the car, she's had no issues whatsoever.
An extended or crew cab might be nice but this is all the truck most truck people really need. Maybe a V6 if they tow a small trailer or jet skis. The bed is plenty big enough for the hardware store run but it's small enough to drive easily.
2012 4x4 TRD sport in manual owner here, I love her ALOT!!!!!! 😎🤘🏾
As I understand that clutch start cancel thing is a Factory thing, if I remember correctly it’s also on the FJ cruiser, it’s for off-road use
Yep. Can confirm on the manual FJ having it.
Clutch start cancel button let's you start the truck without stepping on the clutch. I use it nearly every time I start the truck.
Only Southern Arizona doesn't have any,or very little snow. The city of Flagstaff,Arizona gets about 100 INCHES of snow per Winter! ❄️❄️⛄☃️ Arizona,like most States,has diverse climates,topograpy,vegetation,precipitation amounts & humidity levels!
I have this same truck (2008), same color and everything. Nearly 200k rock solid miles of getting me and my gear to the mountains every weekend. Some light offroad duty. Lots of winter snow driving. I've hauled over 2000lbs of rock in it---twice. I had the valve cover gasket and the water pump replaced last year at about 180k....and that's about it.
Nice review! I recently bought a 2015 Base mode double cab! The cup holder situation isn’t that great but it a a good truck! I bought an adapter on Etsy so my mug fits 😁
I would love to have that truck ! The frame replacement in my 2010 TRD Offroad 4.0 V6, 6 speed manual Tacoma took three days. I also had a bunch of new Toyota parts installed for no to little labor cost. It is still my daily driver and I plan to drive it till the end of time.
Those regular cabs look so good. I’ve got a first gen regular cab but I have a 2nd gen access cab. I’m still jealous of every regular cab 2nd gen owner, especially if it’s the Boomer special 2wd
I thought people wanted the 4x4 regular cabs more like the one in the video.
My dad has a 2nd gen regular cab 2wd 5-speed manual. He hasn't driven it much only like 80k miles.
I actually prefer 2wd trucks because they are essentially bulletproof without the complexity of 4wd, less weight and better mpgs and acceleration.
Never heard of the frame rot problem, very good information.
I prefer the 2nd gen Tacomas over the 3rd gens. I have a 2015, and the only real thing they changed throughout the 2nd generation from 2005-2015 was a slightly updated front end and a touchscreen. However thankfully the touchscreen doesn’t dominate the interior, and all important actions are buttons/knobs, which is great. That’s what I like about my truck gives everything you need, not much you don’t.
They definitely have the better engine. Have you had to worry about frame rust at all?
@@dawsongranger4940 Nope, I have not had to worry about frame rust in the 8 months I've had it. The previous owner took very good care of it, by the time it reached me it had only around 58,000 miles. The frame is pretty much spotless. In general, the newer you go the less you have to worry about the frame issues. Of course you should be diligent and check the frame of any vehicle you buy, but I wasn't worried. By 2015, which was the last year of the 2nd gen, Toyota had ironed out most issues, especially since they had just had a huge recall on the earlier 2nd gens. I still try to keep on top of rust protection, however I do not live in a state that uses salt on roads in the winter. If I was looking at a truck from the midwest, I'd be more concerned about rust. Hope this helps!
Bought mine in 2017 for 12K.. 124K miles, Metallic Grey. It's been a horse...though the bench seat is awful. Low-end torque good but I only use 4th & 5th (which are virtually the same) on level or downhill. Transmission shifts like a '39 Ford w/o synchromesh.
Lots of offers to buy it, notes left on the windshield, etc. I've never found any serious rust on any part of the frame, neither did Toyota though they did undercoat it.
SR5 ... Traction Control ... 4-Wheel Drive .... Fancy Buttons ... Air Conditioning!! Look at all those extras. My 2005 Tacoma 5 speed RWD is a TRUE BASE model.
So the clutch start cancel switch is meant to be used only in four-wheel-drive low range when you are let’s say stuck off-road a lot of the times starting it in gear will pop it free from wherever it’s stuck. It actually talks about that feature in the owners manual.
Interesting,& a great feature I had never seen,or heard of before!
Learned manual on one just like this
I got a 2013 tacoma single cab for 14k with 76k miles in 2019. I use it to tow my bass boat no problem
Nice video! I didn't realize how many little interior differences were in the standard cab to my own extended cab, even down to the cupholders (mine easily fit 40 oz hydroflasks even). One big issue is that a lot of people didn't get their frames replaced, even if it was eligible like my truck's previous owner (according to my vin). I made friends with a local welder as a result and he told me some horror stories about these and their predecessors so I'm glad you spent some time on the problem as so many people don't bat an eye on it!
The single cab Tacoma’s frames didn’t have the frame problem because they were made by a different company than the stretch frame trucks.
I’m 16 and I currently drive my sisters TL but do you think a Toyota Tacoma is perfect for Washington state weather for a 16 yr old
I love this truck! First of all it's a Toyota truck and I'm a Toyota fan boy (I currently own a Tundra and a Corolla). Secondly, it's regular cab, short box, which is quite rare. I also like the proportions. And it's a base model, from 2010, so just the right amount of basic technology to make it comfortable and reliable as a work truck. Today's trucks are overloaded with gadgets and technology, some of it good, some of it is debatable. Fourth, it's a 4x4 which increases its usefulness and gives it a nice stance. Fifth, it's got a manual transmission (also a rarity in today's trucks). I test drove a manual Tacoma a few years ago and loved it! But I needed more towing capacity so I got the Tundra. As for the engine, the good thing about the 4 cylinder is that it's reliable and fuel efficient, but definitely not fast or outrageously powerful. A V6 with the 5 speed manual transmission would make it so much more fun to drive and more powerful for towing and work but at the expense of worse fuel economy. This would be a cool and fun truck to own, and it looks great painted in black. Booyah!
what year and model Tundra do you have or recommend..i like your statement very much..am a fan boy as well
@@legion1630 I've currently got a 2009 Tundra CrewMax SR5 Off-Road. Previously had a 2011 Tundra DoubleCab Limited. There are a few years (I think 2007 and 2008) that had some potential issues with the 5.7 if you drove through very deep water, I believe it was fixed by 2009. I kind of like the newer look 2014-2021. The newer it is, the more modern features it will have, but is still a nice blend of old school V8 pickups and relibility.

Zack: Because it has...a ma-
Me: A manual transmission?
Zack: -jor flaw
Please do a video on the Nissan NX2000
My 2011 model looks like a squatted truck now thanks to the leaf springs going hope the recall covers it...
My frame replacement took the dealership 3 days to do, they did alot of them
Man I want this
I like it! I'd turn it into a Marty McFly truck!
Clutch start cancel, so you can start the truck if you’re on top of a rock, or somewhere you don’t want to roll off of
I own this exact truck, but maroon color❤
2,7 liter. 4 cylinder. Bruh. I think that is the biggest 4 cylinder i've ever heard of.
My 1931 model a is a 3.3L inline 4
@@ShootingCars oh damn. Hahahaha.
The bigger the cylinders, the lower the rpm’s need to be to make descent torque, I think that’s what they were going for/ why the displacement is so large. Not high horsepower, but descent low end torque given the 4 cyl they were working with, workhorse motor. Definitely is strange though
Toyota offers a 2.8 (diesel) in the Hi lux, and that replaces a 3.0 (also diesel). Both are 4 cylinder engines.
Chevy offered a 2.9L 4 banger in the Colorado. Originally a 2.8
I need this truck
I had one of these in the extended cab version, it was slow but damn reliable and never let me down. If I had kept it, would have dropped a supercharger in it. Upgraged to a 4 door V6 instead but do miss that old 4 cyl at times. Mainly the manual transmission. Tacomas have a nasty habit of hunting gears on the highway with the auto, really annoying. Going up a small incline that it doesn't even need to downshift for causes it to slam down into the passing gear, rev out, then upshift again. It'll do this over and over, especially in a strong headwind so it makes the CC useless for most highway applications unfortunately. No doubt it will eventually kill the auto trans if you let it go like this unabated all the time. The manual trans is the way to go with a Tacoma. All generations of Tacoma so far have this problem.
I'm curious, how do you think the 4cyl manual does on hilly terrain? Do you have to downshift for hills on the highway with cruise control on or does it generally do just fine? Interested in a 4cyl manual but curious about how slow it really feels. Might need to just drive one to find out.
Manual Cars are better than Automatic Cars
Not in trucks, suvs or minivans
More engaging, you mean. Modern automatics are better than manuals, many cars get better fuel economy with an automatic transmission, they shift faster as well and are sometimes as reliable as manual transmissions. And they're easier to live with especially in areas with a lot of stop and go traffic. So except it's going to be a weekend car, I'd rather have an automatic.
@@damilolaakanni more engaging, sure. They also take the monotony out of bumper to bumper traffic, and continuously keep you focused on the drive, on being in the right gear and having the ultimate control of your vehicle at all times. That's assuming you are tuned into your vehicle and surroundings of course
If you drive in the city a lot with heavy traffic, pressing in the clutch a lot can make your left leg/knee hurt lol
@@anthonyrivera4735 In any vehicle.
You're lucky your truck actually had cup holders. I had to make some out of PVC for my '09, also with bench seats. You should do the same for yours. That's an easy $2 fix.
Tough truck rust claimed its ruggedness
I can only imagine how much one of these cost used right now.
I believe at the time of filming this was listed around $20,000
@@ShootingCars Absolutely nutty.
my dad bought his 2006 manual used for like 12k a couple years ago.. he could sell it for more now than he bought it for
I was offered 23k for mine but mine is a 2013
I wish the regular cab had the V6.
is this for sale?
Two door 2 seat Tacoma is back! It's only available with an automatic transmission though.
yep...they had to ruin it....Europe gets all the fun, not only can they get it with a manual, they can get a single cab 8 foot bed with a diesel manual..... it's the Hilux though...but basically the same truck
They need to Bring back the 2nd gen Tacoma body and Rangers sports hate these new trucks all the extra useless body those at least fit in most garages
How much are they selling it for?
I bought mine for $20K Oct 21 with 120K miles, crew cab reg bed 4x4 automatic
@@talori5417 for a 2010 right?
@@talori5417 thats too much.....I paid $2500 for my manual transmission Sentra last month
black is never basic
The engine is a pain in the a$$ to fix it! :( the 4 cylinder and is to expensive to get a new one almost 3k.
You drive a manual like a complete novice. If you can’t drive a manual smoother than an automatic, you’re doing it wrong. You’re a stab and pop user… a better candidate for a minivan or EV. Other than that cringey manual transmission folly, this is a great review. 😜
Pickup trucks with manual transmissions🤮😖☹️😢WTF
Yup 😎🤘🏾
The only truck I would own.
The best game. Healthy Slightly Cheap.
It’s actual easy to do a frame on a truck when you got the proper tools lifts and a crew ready to work having odds and ends like brake lines bolts hoses stuff that will slow you down
Also if you change the oil regularly and and buy a sprayer and every time you change the oil you spray it under it frame that helps Will work far better then any rust encapsulator or rust prevention will facts 💯 did a clutch when I superchargered mine 2.7 5 speed 2wd and all my exhaust bolts broke freely that’s how clean it was expect the high wear area like the rear shackle mounts and strut mounts those had a red surface rust to them witch was quickly coated in red cv axle grease witch has worked in the more difficult areas
But you can supercharge those engines bro and with a stick you can lock it in low and throw it in third or second so you don’t sit and spin with this wheelbase very modest lift full treads and high clearance bumpers and I promise this will take u anywhere
Dam good idea sledge hammer with Bluetooth hell yeah
You forget to mention Toyota v tech and one of the most reliable trucks you can buy
