Cool collab! Glad you got some real use experience during your time with the vehicle. It sucks that modern vehicles have to go this direction, but I think Toyota is one of the better places to hedge your bets on.
Did we all forget that Toyota has been building Turbo 4's for literally 40 years now? The old 22RTE, which outlasted the chassis it was mounted in? The 3SGTE, which routinely goes over 200k miles? Now we're worried that because the Tundra had a bad production batch, suddenly all their engines are garbage? Come now. And use the Octane they recommend. It calls for 87, use 87. If it knocks, it will pull timing and boost. If it's not pulling timing, you aren't going to see a benefit. We went through that same argument in the 80's and 90's when premium was the only way to ward off detonation. Things are different, Direct Injection is a thing, and the block & head have FAR better cooling, less piston dwell, and much better materials than the ironblocks of decades past. Remember your history. Follow Toyota's instructions. Use OE parts. That's it.
Im a loyal Toyota owner, and even I’m skeptical about these new trucks. Suddenly people are justifying diffs and transmissions breaking with small tires as if they are user error. IN A TOYOTA. Who would have thought.
@@calembo7124 Diffs didn't shatter. The ones I've seen have had a failure of the ADD or some other component in there. Ring and pinon were fine. The 6MT has issues, and that seems to be more of a manufacturing problem. Not all trucks are doing it. It's first year teething, but until engines and AL80F's start puking, I'll reserve my judgement
If anyone can get a turbo 4 right, it's Toyota. These trucks look good and Toyota finally fixed the big issues. It's just a shame these are so expensive because these could be everywhere.
These NEW Turbo are garbage and will cost a lot of money to fix and to keep them on the road. Turbos are disastrous technology long term. Keep it simple with naturally aspirated engines are the way to go for longevity and reliability. Those 3.5 V6 were better however the previous generation 4.0 V6 were the best.
@@bwofficial1776 by that logic GM would be pretty good too. Since they are literally the creators of turbocharged engines. Stop using past for the future.
Smaller gas tank 18.2 vs 3rd gen 21.1 gals almost the same MPG’s ( more stops at gas stations…Why no hood gas struts? My 2001 Camry had gas hood struts, especially for a popular brand? Toyota is cutting back on the wrong things that could have made them the Best Buy’s…SAD..
@@jaymoar3561 maybe you don’t understand my original post. I wasn’t born yesterday and I know trucks get dirty. My point is, that the engine compartment should not be. Everything gets wet in the engine compartment, can harm components, it’s basic logical fact. Usually they put covers under the engine on today’s vehicles. I never said anything about the rest of the truck getting dirty, that’s normal and how it should be.
@caseyrice768 it's built with a durability of a car and not an off road machine. The truck already broke axles. And top hats on front suspension due to poor design. (No bump stops). If you like the truck, buy it. But as toyota fan. I am disappointed.
Glad we were able to help, another great video as usual.
Car care nut is AWESOMEEEEE
The truth have to be told.
You can option your Tacoma with a manual with a TRD Sport or Off Road.
Why do new vehicles have to be so angry-looking? Whatever happened to humble, small trucks like the old Rangers, S10's, 1990s Toyota pickups, etc.?

Because they look cool. Who wants to drive some wimpy S-10 when you can drive a cool, macho Tacoma?
@@bwofficial1776that “wimpy” s10 is more of a work/real truck than this macho looking wannabe truck

you can find the long bed and the big screen on the trd off road if you look. it wasnt too difficult but you do have to look. i personally want that.
Wow TCCN cameo was sick!

Pro tip, take the JBL speaker out it makes the sound system worse because it's mixed to focus down to that front center.
Sure wish you reviewed the towing!!! It is a truck, remember? I was curious about this truck as I own a 2019 ranger.
I heard this guy several times talk about not doing oil changes every 10,000 miles but the Toyota Dealerships are the ones setting it up this way.
Car nut guy rocks!

You don't know the history of Toyota or their pickups, if you're doubting their ability to build long lasting turbo 4's.
Toyota's been building turbo engines since the 1980s. If anyone's gotten it right, it's them. No one ever complains about their Toyota turbos.
Toyota just recalled 100k+ trucks with the new v6 because they're catastrophically failing. This doesn't bode well for the rest of their lineup.

Luv this co-lab…
I don't know how Toyota got away with putting the hazard button there. This is why in Europe, the button must be Orange.
Frontier all the way
Saw the least reliable top ten trucks .Guess what truck was in it ?Frontier😂
@@DannyBlair-ky6pxcan you post a link of the list you’re referring to?

I drove one manual transmission and its sucks, my experience was not good and im used to driving manual transmission toyota tacoma all my life .
Not with the 4 cylinder turbo
So listen to the manufacturer on the grade of fuel to use but don’t listen to them when it comes to maintenance intervals ? Seems hypocritical no?
No way to tell how reliable it will be. lets see how they do when a bunch get over a hundred thousand on them. See how many repairs compared to v6.
The big computer monitor jutting up out of the dash on these trucks looks really silly and out of place.
Could the point of its position be to help you keep your eyes on the road more?
@@excusesarelame8350 no. Every manufacturer is just in a race to have the biggest screen and it’s getting really ridiculous.
Once u put it on dark mode looks great
Brand new truck and the engine is already a mess lol
It’s a truck! Not a crystal egg!
@@jaymoar3561 ok??? Weird reply.
@@Jonathan-bk3dq trucks are tools and are meant to get dirty, if you don’t understand that I don’t know what else to say.

It’s very ugly under the hood with all the plastic lines running everywhere and no cover on any of it.

08:33 BIG FRIGGIN BOTTLE TEST
I think Toyota is in trouble with these , 3rd gen was the last of the good ones
I disagree. The 2nd generation was much better than the third, apart from the frame rot.
9:17 - Oh my! There's a joke in there somewhere.

Huge disappointment. This is a car with a bed. People want real trucks.
How?
@@caseyrice768 poorly built. Using cheap materials. No bump stops, tranmission issues.
@@Shadowdancer777 what does any of that have to do with it being a "car"? Isn't a truck a body on frame?
