What's your favorite Tacoma trim level for 2024? Comments help my videos get pushed higher on UA-cam search results, so just say HI in the comments if you like. Thanks everyone! Jeff
Maybe it was growing up in the 80's and lusting for Marty's truck in "Back to the Future", but I've always thought that an Extra Cab was the best looking of all three truck configurations. If this had the new rear suspension, I wouldn't even have to think about it, it's the one I would pick. However, since it will spend almost all of it's time on paved roads, with about half of that mileage towing a small camper or watercraft, I don't want to settle for leaf springs.
I was my hometown Toyota salesman first redesigned Tacoma sale in Underground. Unknowingly it had literary just rolled off the delivery truck that morning and I had it in my garage that night! I love this thing…Jeff….Jeff?❤
JEFF!! The LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL!! That’s one of the most important ingredients to this cake. I guess it can be locked in 2Hi?? I didn’t say drift mode? Did someone say drift mode? Thanks for the review and all the info but you have to talk about the rear locker. 🍻 love your reviews!
Damn, I remember when new Raptors were being sold for 35K, and for that money now you can get a 4 cylinder single cab without 4wd. Very sad and scary tbh.
Hi Jeff I really like your videos, But not the shirt you’re wearing!!! GO PACK GO!!! 😊 haha!! Yes I’m a Packers fan!!! 😆 All seriousness, really enjoy your informative videos.
Would be nice to see an access cab. My understanding from a video produced by an influencer tho discussed this with a Toyota engineer is that they opted for an extra cab because it adds needed rigidity to the frame. I respect that they took this approach rather than produce a truck that starts having issues with the frame warping and eventually doors don't close properly. I'd rather have a strong, durable extracab. The lack of access cab doors is only a minor inconvenience. They made up for this with storage compartments.
@@RedondoBeach2this is a huge exaggeration. Ford and Nissan still make suicide doors. Toyota we’re being cheap asses with the XtraCab design. They have the budget to design a proper extended cab without sacrificing the doors and jump seats.
@@callofdutyguy9 If you're right, that's another insult to consumers. Still, I will have a look at the PreRunner when it becomes available. Have't seen one yet. If it doesn't sell like the rest of their trucks allegedly are not selling, maybe I'll buy a 2026 6model when it becomes available. I don't want to buy the first or second year of a new model. Let others buy into that R&D experiment. I'll stay away. However, if a lot of people are staying away for similar reasons, Toyota has a lot of work to do if they want to sell metal.
@@callofdutyguy9 No one is making suicide doors, you're probably thinking of the extended cabs with small back doors. Which only Nissan offers. Ford joined the rest, and now only offers the Ranger as a crew cab with a short bed. Honestly Taco crew cab barely had space as it is. I imagine an Ext cab would be as comfortable as sitting in the back of a 86. Just get the crew cab with the 6ft bed.
Pretty much 40k out the door with any add on . I like it but I can’t justify 40k for 2d 2wd . Love the color. I’d consider buying a used one at 34k . That’s actually what it’s worth
2d is one of this truck's best features. The 4d on the Tacoma is worse than useless. 4d adds weight, lowers MPG, reduces driver visibility, reduces hauling volume, and nobody wants to sit in the back seats.
@@RedondoBeach2there’s like no room in the back though . Still less truck for money isn’t good finically. You can find plenty of old used Tacoma with access cab for 2x less
@@Cavemol5823 I didn't make my point clear enough. When you say "there's still no room in the back", I assume you're referring to the xtracab space. This is understood and an accepted and desirable trait of the truck. The space is big enough to stow away cargo that a driver might want in the cab, not passengers. This leaves room in the bed for a larger volume of cargo. From my perspective, the reason for developing a truck in the first place is for hauling and towing capability. A larger 6' bed maximizes that hauling capability for the Tacoma. The purpose of developing a truck is most certainly not to chauffeur passengers in the rear seats. Save that for a 4-Runner or Sequoia. Trucks are about utility, not useless 4 doors and useless back seats that create a heavier truck with worse MPG, worse visibility, lower hauling capacity, etc. I've said it before and I'll say it again; if Toyota developed a Tacoma TRD Pro or Trailhunter with extracab configuration, sales would be so spectacular that their 4 door models would quickly decline in sales.
That truck is a TRD trim but doesn’t offer the sliding back glass, no tailgate release button, no manual transmission and the inferior suspension design with trash payload. No
Why do all the reviewers all just stab the throttle? We all don’t race our tacomas. I’d like to know if it hunts the gears at regular speeds and on highway hills
9:07 PreRunner weight 4,145-4,200lbs. In another one of your videos, you indicated the SR5 weight is 4,485-4,720 lbs. I'll take the lighter, more useful, and better MPG Pre-Runner. Four door Tacomas are worse than useless, they're costly in terms of capability lost: power due to added weight, fuel economy due to added weight, hauling capacity due to smaller bed, visibility due to larger cabin. Toyota, for 2025 give the PreRunner and independent rear suspension and this truck will be a big winner. Essentially upgrade the 2024 PreRunner to the Offroad specification with an extracab instead of 4 doors. I will buy that truck if you produce it. Otherwise, I'm opting for an older used Tacoma or Tundra.
Dear Jeff. My favorite Tacoma none. Beacuse it is not reasonably priced and with huge dealer markups it is all looks disgusting to me. The new Tacoma is like pretty woman but she is gold digger. How do you think?
40k for a 2 door rwd 4cyl turbo truck made in mexico ? No thanks Toyota completely missed out with this model So much wasted potential Give it AWD Standard softex seats Take away all the unnecessary technology, Give us back the good old v6 Bring it down to 30k You got a deal
@@highplainsdrifter9849 yep. and the V6, although reliable and simple, is quite ancient. I love the current Taco, it is just too old. Drives and shifts like a car from the 2000 era.
Since Toyota went to turbo, and we know, eventually ALL turbos go out, and it’s gonna cost at LEAST $2000 to repair, will Toyota cover that for the life of the vehicle????? Survey SAYS - NO….

What's the weight of the vehicle and what's the 0-60 time?
I like the limits trim and the TRD pro.
does the prerunner have a locking tailgate ?
My favorite trim is the Pre Runner! I really like the two doors and six foot bed!
really hate that they removed the two door trd offroad 4x4 model.
Exactly! I love this truck just want it 4x4 but oh well will still probably get it and stick to service roads
Also kind of weird that they offer heated seats in the SR4 Xtra can, but not with the PR.

If I were going to plunk down $$ for these insanely priced mid-sized trucks, this would be the one.
I just LOVE the all new Tacoma and i just LOVE there NEW high prices for 2024 too!!
Isn't it crazy that base MSRP 10 years ago for an SR was 16.7k and now the absolute base, plain jane bottom MSRP is 31.5k?
@@mariokart8054 The plain Jane SR's that i have looked at are starting at 39.5K for a 2024
I really love how these trucks look, I really could have seen 2 doors and 6 foot bed trucks going away forever. Glad to see I was wrong on that one
Right, just waiting for them to make a 2 door 4x4 6ft bed with manny transmission
Jeff, I really enjoy your videos and humor! Getting my TRD PreRunner in Celestial Silver next month! Thanks again!
Give it time, that prerunner will be able with a 4×4. Always a great job Jeff!!!!👍 ***Let me clarify, I mean an extended cab with 4×4.🤓
It never became a 4x4 in the first or second gen.
I think you can get the SR5 in that configuration
Prerunners never came in 4wd
That fold flat passenger seat needs to be offered on all trims.
So there are no doors to access the back storage? That might be a deal killer for me... I have the 2016 Tacoma with access to back...
I wonder which trim Toyota will actually build first? The PreRunner, the Pro, or the Trail Hunter. All are like unicorns at this point.
So the back doors don’t open anymore? That’s unfortunate. It makes it harder for people to reach back there and no more passengers can sit there.
Damn, I remember when new Raptors were being sold for 35K, and for that money now you can get a 4 cylinder single cab without 4wd. Very sad and scary tbh.
Rwd only?
i have literally NEVER seen one these YET on the road
1. 0-60 time?
2. Gross vehicle weight?
I appreciate the video and pricing information. Thank you.
Hi Jeff
I really like your videos, But not the shirt you’re wearing!!!
GO PACK GO!!! 😊 haha!!
Yes I’m a Packers fan!!! 😆
All seriousness, really enjoy your informative videos.
The only 4th gen Tacoma that truly interests me but lack of functioning doors in the cab is such a bummer.
The pre runner needs the access doors that open for superior access. Toyota lost me on the pre runner
If they switch it to access cab, let me get the manual, and make an option for the jump seats and I’m down
When Are they going to arrive at the dealerships? I live in N. Tx. DFW.
Gorgeous truck, id get this exact spec
They should’ve made it an ACCESS cab

@@RedondoBeach2 actually trucks are about getting the best value for money for the job you need to do. This doesn’t do that 40k for little boy engine
That is literally the point of the truck. 2 door 2wd
nice cheap under protection plate
Go Lions!!❤❤
I’m in love ❤
cant find them anywhere
Too expensive 55k for trd sport with 8k packages. im buying a tundra limited for the same price and still get the same mpg
That's Raptor territory. Much more capable and rare.
@@marklihsu lol ranger raptor gonna be 70k and up
So after destination and the $3400 up charge a local Toyota dealer adds to every new vehicle you are looking at $43k........for a two door truck.
This in PRD off-road and pro
Does the PreRunner only come in this color? I haven't seen anything regarding color options for the 24's
Red, Orange, Underground, White, Silver, and Black.
Take an SR 4x4 and make it a pre runner.
They acting like the folding seat is new technology wen my 2nd gen has the folding seat
Insane toyyoda....geeeeff...Auf dein hizzey quite bizzey. 😳 meeehoww
I can live with no rear doors, but no 4x4 sux
Hopefully you didn’t bust out any 90’s rap songs and be mistaken for Malibus most wanted!😂
Wish it had 4wd
Nice, seems a bit expensive for a 2wd 2 seater though. 35k sounds right for this truck IMO.
It’s closer to 39K, costs over 😅38K. And it’s only 2 WD for that price. I love this truck but I wish it was closer to 35K.
@@JD.12 .. I know it’s not 35k, it should be.
@@tewksburydriver8624for 39k id rather get a base model tacoma 4x4
Just get the SR5 Xtracab and maybe it goes down to $35k. The SR Xtracab might cost $32k
That’s my thought as well
wow
That truck is a TRD trim but doesn’t offer the sliding back glass, no tailgate release button, no manual transmission and the inferior suspension design with trash payload. No
All these changes and they STILL didn’t bring the drivers side grab handle back 👎🏻
I would buy this in a flash if it was 4WD. 2WD is useless if you live in snow country.
good thing your singing gig fell short.....
Why do all the reviewers all just stab the throttle? We all don’t race our tacomas. I’d like to know if it hunts the gears at regular speeds and on highway hills
Great thought, because if I don’t then lots of other people will ask why I didn’t do a 0 to 60 or go really fast? Ha ha we can’t win sometimes.
SR5 with three pedals

How can I put this politely: IT SUCKS! Give me back the doors! Give me 4wd, then maybe.
Dear Jeff. My favorite Tacoma none. Beacuse it is not reasonably priced and with huge dealer markups it is all looks disgusting to me. The new Tacoma is like pretty woman but she is gold digger. How do you think?
Price too high bro
40k for a 2 door rwd 4cyl turbo truck made in mexico ?
No thanks
Toyota completely missed out with this model
So much wasted potential
Give it AWD
Standard softex seats
Take away all the unnecessary technology,
Give us back the good old v6
Bring it down to 30k
You got a deal
Because of high price and dealer markup it looks disgusting now. You take it. Bye~
I'll wait until Trump gets back in office and we get our V6 back.
Good luck with that, the V6 part.
This four banger has more power than the current old V6. With 326 Hp and 465 torque.
@@highplainsdrifter9849 yep. and the V6, although reliable and simple, is quite ancient. I love the current Taco, it is just too old. Drives and shifts like a car from the 2000 era.
