TK's camera angles on its videos is first rate. I doubt most viewers realize how much forethought goes into these videos. Great job guys!
Thanks 👍
Too bad these aren’t made in Japan with an option for a v6. Full-time 4wd on more trims would be sweet too; nice to see it on the Limited tho!!
The look of the 2024 is growing on me which is scary because I have a 2023 TRD off road Premium😱
I think the 2024 is way better looking than last gen.
Dude I love my 2022 OR but the the tech and the looks of the this one are much better. I’m waiting for my order 😂 OR again in the underground color.
My source for Canadian reviews on this truck. Good job fellas.
Thanks 👍
Now do something about the bastard child of Fidel Castro and get your freedom back!
For 8 days now I have owned the 2024 6 speed manual Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Solar Octane. Previously owned 2017 F150 Lariat & 2019 Ranger Lariat but this Tacoma is the best truck I've ever driven!!
I bought my tacoma trd sport three weeks ago.The other day i was doing 80 on a 65 zone and didn't notice.This thing can go.
Keep up the great work on all these reviews, nice to have a Canadian centric channel bringing all the latest reviews. I used to see Howard on motoring TV back in the day and appreciated his straight forward, pragmatic take in his reviews. This channel is a great evolution in automotive reviews allowing the much needed long form review to get through everything that needs to be touched on.
Truck King with King Tacoma. Best truck in any segment period. Return of the KING 👑
Truck is trash. Tundra sucks & this isn’t any better. New ZR2 destroys this trash.
@@wint_62You mean the Zr2 that bricks itself routinely with no answers from GM
@@youngblood23rblots of problems w/ these new Toyotas goof. TRASH.
@@wint_62 They just came out, please elaborate
The king of recalls!
I have watched 10 videos on the new Tacoma and the video you all put together has been my favorite so far. You all got a new subscriber great job!
Really quick, my motivation for watching all the new videos as I have a 2000 Tacoma TRD Off-Road MT access cab I bought brand new in 2000 now has 381,217 miles as of today on it. I tried to buy a 2020 Tacoma and my head banged into the a-pillar discovering that Toyota had lowered the roof line dramatically over the 2000 model. At 6 foot 1 I couldn't fit in the last truck. This new truck looks awesome and they have made it possible for normal sized people to fit in it, so I am very excited to finally get a new Tacoma once again.
Very informative! Looking forward to more content and hearing what kind of MPG's you are seeing.
The new truck looks great. I like that your video was back here in Canada and not on the same roads of California everyone else was showcasing today!
so cool you and your dad work together reviewing trucks, congrats!!
Definitely an improvement over the previous generation however after owning a Toyota and driving other models I found they have never truly understood interior cab space for anyone above 6 foot, throw in a bulky child seat in the rear good luck with having adequate room inside the cab
Glad they listened about the bed length.
This is the exact truck I'd want!
I would like to congratulate you and your team. I wasn't the biggest fan when you first came out. But the quality of your presentations have gone up exponentially in a very short time to being probably one of my favourite automotive/truck channels in the entire UA-cam universe.
I would tell you to stop improving now, for fear of you growing into some God awful sales pitch of sponsorship for 47% of your show, but it seems to me, going from where you were to were you are, you probably don't need anyone's advice and have a clear vision of what you want your channel to be.
Well as it stands, I digging it. I enjoy the honesty, sincerity and knowledge from truck guys from my neck of the woods.
Cheers and best wishes for continued success!
Just found your channel from all the Tacoma content, and just wanted to say y’all killing it! Footage angles and the conversations are solid!
Nice initial review - as always! This truck makes me optimistic for what the new 4-Runner will be as well.
Hopefully it’s still made in Japan (superior quality vehicles)
Some of those drone shots were just fantastic. Nicely done!
Fantastic review fellas great camera presence and to the point
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review guys!
Nice vid. I was shopping for a truck 6-7 yrs ago, the Taco was top of my list. When I sat in it, I didn't even take it for a drive.
I could trade my Ram 1500 for this.
Great video guys!
Nice in depth review
Kick Ass guys...can't wait to see your trail ride video!
Excellent review and filming. The NEW design looks good. Thank you! 👍
Our pleasure!
Excellent Review!!! 😁
Awesome review I was really considering getting this truck. My only concern was having a car seat in the back which I think I’ll be able to manage
Once again boys nice job,finally some news for us Canadians lol
Great video guys. I particularly like the "Canadian " take on the Tacoma. Got my Blue crush metallic Limited on order here in B.C.. Maybe by next Christmas!!!LOL. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and just subscribed. Keep up the informative videos.
I agree with your pops, the seating position felt a bit weird. Something I've learned to get used too. Some days I will drive the Colorado over it for longer drives.
I'm watching your review because I live in Alaska and want to see it in the snow. Well played.
I have an 06 Tacoma.
Still works great with no major problems.
Biggest issue I had was front wheel bearings replacement at around 120,000 miles and replaced water pump and fuel pump at around 160,000 miles.
Never let the fuel tank go below 1/4 because the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel itself.
Faulty Fuel pump symptoms are as follows: engine seems to turn on and off with brisk acceleration like when you are merging onto the highway, you can give it full throttle and vehicle will accelerate no problem. No Toyota dealers or local shops could diagnose the fuel pump so I replaced it myself and the acceleration issue was fixed.
great video guys
Great review.. nice truck
What stopped me from buying one these from the last generation in 2015 was the driving position, fear of frame rust ,mpgs and,weak payload. It seems like they have cured these issues. Now the new issue will be working the bugs out of this one with in the next couple of years when im ready to buy another new midsize truck. I try to get 10 or 10 + Years out of my vehicles if possible.
The great unknown...will a turbo 4 be as reliable as the v6...especially the old 4 litre. I am amazed at the prices...my 20 Tundra TRD OR was $51k....now the prices are even crazier.
Agreed. My 2018 Tundra SR5 TRD Off-Road 4x4 DC was $39k, and 0% interest for 48 months.
@@Vox-Populi good deal
Every time I see a review of the Tacoma with two big guys in it with their elbows touching, I’m glad I have a full size truck. 😂
Makes sense….thanks!
Looks amazing!
absolutely agree, the Tacoma driving position in prior iterations was gawdawful. Glad to hear that they fixed it in the new one!
Great to see a video in Ontario!!! Where are you guys located??
Thanks for posting presently owned Ford Maverick hope hope Toyota comes out with a hybrid
Im looking forward to checking one out. Be a huge upgrade over my Colorado.
I have a 2021 TRD Sport now and have put a $500 deposit on the 2024 TRD OffRoad 6ft bed. I usually buy a new truck every 10-12 years but I feel that the new gen Tacoma is just that good to replace my 3-4 year(by the time it’s available) truck. I would probably keep my 2021 if it had the 6 ft. bed.
Everything comes at a price, and yours will be worse turning radius and breakover angle likely due to loooong wheelbase.
Why would you want a long bed… I understand if you’re working with it or something, but looks wise 😳
That longer wheel base with 6' bed, will be terrible to maneuver in tight areas, may as well have a full size then. It also just doesn't look good.
Thanks for the review. Do you think the tubro will be as reliable as the v6?
I enjoy your reviews of trucks keep'em coming y'all.
Great show TK coming from a Ontario resident ! 😊
Thanks for coming
TRD Off-Road is my favorite followed by SR in 4x4. Best bang for the buck.
The besssstt review so far 💪
Hey TK what did you think of the sound system and overall options of the trd off road ?
Great video TK! What will the sales numbers be with this new truck? Will Tacoma continue to dominate the segment? Will it cross-cannibalize sales with the new LC? Will GM or Ford or Nissan be able to make up some ground or is the Toyota reputation too strong to overcome? Lots of questions to answer yet!
You’re right Liam - we’ll be working to answer all those questions and more over the next year.
I'd buy the truck you showed us, if i was buying, absolute beauty of a truck.
Transfer case specs/info, please. Full-time? Part-time? Low-range ratio? Towable? Thanks!
looks like they nailed this truck, good stuff
Hopefully you guys get a manual version! This moght make we switch to Toyota when my colorado lease ends! Been missing rowing my own gears!
Tacoma gotta hit the Left Hook! Great stuff guys!
It looks so much better than the new Tundra or even the new Lexus TX that looks like a rental Hyundai product. Perfect example why keeping the design simple yet attractive works.
Does car play work without cable? I love the looks of the new truck. I’ll be holding off until all the bugs get worked out. My 22 is just fine for now. Interested to see what real world mpg will be like.
I’m surprised they handed you the truck to test in an environment and terrain that are drastically different than their controlled Southern California course, at the same time as their big So-Cal reveal event. I look forward to seeing your off-road review.
Without the hybrid and without an upgraded JBL system, could that under-seat rear storage caddy be removed and the back floor area flattened out a bit? My dog’s getting up in years and I’d like to keep a relatively flat, comfortable area for him like I have in my Silverado - except obviously a smaller area than the Silverado. I’m thinking of downsizing from the Silverado to a mid-size and the Tacoma is the front runner right now, I just want to wait and watch for a while as they work out the first model year kinks. I’ll be curious to see the off-road segment and fuel economy of the non-hybrid as well as the hybrid, and then make a determination.
You have a 2024 Tacoma OR in your hands. Do you have a 21-23 TRD Pro or a 22-23 Frontier Pro4X handy to do a capability head-to-head?
Steven: Cut it out! Lmao. Love the humor infusion.
Toyota did an awesome job with this new Tacoma! I wish it was cheaper but that's true for every new vehicle now.
Glad to see toyota kept the tacoma recipie with this redesign. All new, but still a tacoma and not bloated.
Man the new Tacoma looks great I just wonder if the 4 cylinder motor and turbo will last 200,000 miles with regular maintenance
Changed oil every 5k will have no problem
It should ford ecoboost has 300,000 mile used trucks everywhere. I would assume technology is only getting better.
@@rockie307and that's the thing Ford has been doing turbo trucks for way longer Toyota hasn't. Will they be able to hold on to their reputation of being reliable?
@@marklihsu In all honesty I believe toyota reliability is hype. There good trucks but I've been around alot of trucks in work and off road environments and I don't believe there any better than the others they just get worked less making them get more miles. Not many toyota's idling on construction sites around the clock in logging woods oil fields or pulling heavy loads or ranching or farming. Toyota's demographics are much easier on trucks.
Many many eco boost trucks do, so being Toyota should last easily 200k with good maintenance
Very good review. I don't like turbo engines but this one is very efficient. Greetings
based on what? the 4 cyl turbo only gets maybe 1 mile per gallon better fuel economy than the v6!! mpg while towing will be horrendous!!
Awesome review. Will a sheet of plywood fit between the wheel wells?
no - but will fit on top
That’s exactly the trim i’ll choose but with some extra Arb stuff.. Don’t know when, I still enjoy my 2011 sr5 Hehe🤓
The white looks great!
It's a good looking truck The new seating position is a great update. The previous cab i drove was a Sienna with the 3.5. It was good at passing trucks on Hwy 25 if they were doing 70 in the 80. The gas mileage sucked though.
It’s a truck
@@wjoseph-rx9mj and I don't need one. I'm driving a Toyota Matrix now. I pay for half of the gas so I am saving over 10.00 dollars a day 🙂
Thanks for the info. Question, is there a transmission cooler like the tundra?
I am hearing no Toyota dropped the transmission cooler from the tundra back in 2019 so very doubtful this will have it.
Can we configure the SR5 with 14 inch screen or only available on TRD? I saw another video where the back window don’t have have the lil square window truck look a lot clean without that tiny square window that would be my dream truck SR5 14inch screen no lil window in the back
The TRD Offroad has always been my preferred Tacoma trim, but the 2020 long bed I owned briefly had lots of problems. I sold it after just a year because it was so uncomfortable and annoying to drive, so I'm glad to see that they seem to have addressed a lot of those annoyances. I thought they were discontinuing the long bed like all the other brands did, so I was very surprised to see this. I would have held off from purchasing my 2023 Pro4x if I'd known the Tacoma long bed was returning. I might consider trading the Pro4x for a TRD Offroad long bed, but I expect the price with options will be downright offensive. We'll see...
Great review gents. I'm with Howard in one big way. Back in 2020 when I was shopping for a new truck, I really wanted a Tacoma for its overall size to get down trails easier, for easier parking, etc. But I just could not do it because of what Howard points out; I just could not get a comfortable fit in that awful seating position. So that forced me into the Tundra. I love my 2020 Tundra, but I really do get tired of the issues the size of it brings with it. This new Tacoma might just fix that for me, but I'm still going to have to give it a year or so to make sure there are no bugs to work out.
I am 6'3 and I had a Taco 2014 Off road and I agree. The seating was HORRIBLE I actually got claustrophobic in it. When I sat my head was bascially touching the roof and I was looking through the very top of the windshield. I now have the new Ranger which I love, but if I would actually fit in a Taco I might go back to them.
This is the 20th new Tacoma video on my feed lmao today!
Ok
I own a 2012 TRD and it's by far the best truck I have ever owned Dependable Good on Fuel and Comfortable. I will like to add a new one to the stable. Certainly wont sell my 2012.
Seating position was my major complaint about previous generations of the Tacoma. It seems the 3.5L never really caught on like the 4L for towing, there were a lot of complaints.
I may be wrong, but from what I could tell on the website the SR5 has leaf springs if you get the extra cab. The four door gets coils. Also the extra cab is only available in the SR, SR5, and prerunner.
you got it
I’m interested in the 6mt but have heard it’s a very long throw and, worse, that there’s a lot of rev hang. I hope an in depth review of the 6mt sport is coming.
check out the The Topher, he has a long video with a 6 speed manual in California
Looks good
The father-son banter is so funny
Mann beautiful place!!
Can you get the base TRD Off-road with 5 ft bed in Canada ?
How come it seems like you fit better in the back of the doublecab tundra than the tacoma? Given that the tundra doublecab has similar legroom
I had been wanting a Tacoma for decades. Finally went and test drove one and when I put my kids car seat in the back it basically wouldn’t let anyone sit in the front. I test drove the Tundra just to try it out and I’m now the owner of a 2023 Tundra SR5. More room, more power, more towing, more comfortable.
With the same mpg!
With the size difference that makes sense. For me a Tacoma would be big enough for driving to work and stuff like that. I don't currently need child seats though. And as long as we can keep at least one vehicle big enough for them, we would be fine if we end up with grandkids or something.
100% agree about the seating position! The previous gen seating position was atrocious. Owners rationalized it because they loved the rest of the truck. Great improvement by Toyota on the new seating position!!!
Could you please comment on the new 2024 Tacoma suspension compare to the previous model?
Hello TK, thanks for the review. I am looking into changing my 2012 GMC Sierra SLE 2500 HD for a mid size pickup. Sold the fifth wheel and don't need a full size anymore. I was leaning to the limited Takoma, but I just heard you say… "only available in Canada in the Hybrid version." Boy, what a bummer… To your knowled, would it possible to get a non Hybrid anyways? Or will have have to settle with a Ford Ranger 2024 instead? I also looked at the GMC Canyon 2024, but boy, all of the electronics/electrics in the motor scares me…
Tacoma TRD off road long bed 6spd with E-lock front and rear would be nice....imo
I just want a long bed Limited trim with full time 4WD with a low range I can use with an unlocked center diff, running the hybridMAX setup (+2.4KW power) with the 6 speed manual transmission and Fox shocks from the TRD Pro.
Is that too much to as Toyota??!! Sheesh! ;)
TRD off-road with 6 foot bed available in Canada? That’s new right?
From all the reviews I've watched,it seems like they actually done good by the Tacoma. Maybe they should get the Tacoma engineer to work on other vehicles (like maybe the new 4Runner) as well.
$62K for a Tacoma makes a good business case for a well equipped F150 for $70k and I would never have thought this in a million miles.
In white it looks like a Storm Trooper. 🤣
I dont know, for the money the Colorado is looking like a better vehicle for my needs.
Good vid 👍
Hybrid MPG? when do we hear that? Also, what's the ground clearance
Looks like the flares are just butted up to the paint with no rubber seal?
I own a Gen 3 Tacoma V-6 and love it! I think that the 2024 has entirely too much electronic gee-wizzery. I also am skeptical of the durability of a smallish 4 cylinder turbo charged engine.
Which models (if any) have KDSS? I know the TRD Pro doesn't have it.
Please make sure to review in your next TRD review the actual suspension travel changes (or lack of) that allegedly Toyota did not change as opposed to what Ford is doing on their extreme off-roaders versions. If true it seems Toyota would have caught some corners.
Glad feels more powerful
The white looks so much cleaner on this gen over the 3rd gen
What's the payload rating on this TRD Offroad long bed?
Tacoma TRD off road 6' bed fits most house garage ?
