    This is the new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter! The Trailhunter is a brand new version of the Tacoma designed to be overland ready with its beefy off-road capabilities. It is powered by a new hybrid 4-cylinder engine which is the most powerful engine offered in the new Tacoma. Today I'm reviewing this new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

    One thing I think that's impressive that no one seems to mention is that the power inverter for these new cars is 2400W @120V. That can basically power anything as long as your battery is charged which is kinda insane. Usually it's been maxed out at like 400W. You basically never have to carry around one of those big backup batteries.

      “All-New, All-Conquering Trailhunter
      Toyota has long been the choice of those who forge their own paths to adventure. Now, the choice is even clearer. Introducing the Tacoma Trailhunter-conceived, designed and built to be a ready-made overlanding beast.”
      Overlanding is just a term for getting to hard to reach places usually with reference to camping or exploring. Suspension on the Trailhunter is tuned for carrying heavier load outs. “Old Man Emu® Suspension
      Overlanders need a truck that can do more than just take them down the toughest trails; they also need it to carry all their gear and supplies for extended time off the grid. Trailhunter’s standard Old Man Emu® 2.5-in. forged monotube shocks with external remote reservoirs combine rugged capability with outstanding load-carrying stability, to get you through the obstacles and into the middle of nowhere.”
      In the past there was only a TRD model and it was target toward all around 4WD. Now they’ve focused TRD as more of a Ford Raptor competitor - desert runner, suspensions seats, hitting jumps etc…And Trailhunter for overlanding.

    The front metal loop under the front bumper is only rated as a tie down point. I do think it’s super weird it doesn’t have recovery hooks in the front stock when it’s got all the other off road goodies. On my off-road vehicles I always have an air compressor permanently mounted and wired up. It’s a must out on the sand or trails. It’s nice cause it’s you know it’s always ready to go but it does come at the cost of some space. I’ve been watching your videos since like 2016! Love all your reviews man!

      companies will remove every single button and we all complain and then there’s this doofus who complains about the one company still adding physical buttons. if you think this is bad think about what liquid is gonna do to the electrical components of those massive touch screens or capacitive panels 🙄 and then instead of whatever function the button controls being broken the screen that controls several or perhaps every single function in the car is gone completely. just because it’s more minimalist and out of the way doesn’t mean it isn’t susceptible to the exact same thing.

    The integrated compressor is designed to last the life of the truck, and to be used frequently. When off-road, reliability is key to survival, and nobody wants to be let down by a cheap portable compressor. Also it's useful for inflating watercraft, air mattresses, and used to run an impact gun for wheel removal. Much, much better than a portable. Kudos to Toyota for putting together such a comprehensive, quality package!

    12 mpg on a hybrid four cylinder??? I think Doug is totally breezing over this. I don’t care if you are doing Baja races with the thing, that is insane. What is the pay off for using a drivetrain that your fanbase doesn’t like/want? No mpg gain. Power is pretty much the same. More complexity and inevitably less reliability. And they are forcing it down your throat by making it the only option on upper trim levels. Great truck in a lot of ways but this powertrain seems to have missed the mark so much it isn’t even fun. I wish Doug would have dug into this a bit more (no pun intended). Seems inexplicable and inexcusable.
