Is the Tacoma TRD PRO the best off-road truck?
I think it's on par with the Ranger... I think the Ranger has better interior seating and a better crawl system.. but when it comes to resale and dependability.. the Tacoma wins hands down.
@guy proulx I don't think so
If you want to go into the jungle, take any 4x4. If you want to make it back out, take a TOYOTA 4x4
dude, that was the best review Ive seen for this car! excellent job! everyone else BS a lot!
Another great off road video. Thanks for showing us the off road features 👍
Very nice video setup and review. Enjoyed every moment of it. Made me want one of these little bad boy.
Beautiful Review and Good Music!
That's how you Douthit! Nice review man!
I own a 4runner and love it with all my heart but man I really love the tacoma trd pro. It’s just the sexiest most badass design to my eyes and the perfect size for a midsize, also voodoo blue is hands down my favorite special pro color ever. Looks amazing on the tundra 4runner and tacoma.
I bought one (super white)and I absolutely love it!
This is why I run a Tacoma for work as a forest ranger. Reliable as well
Seems like an interesting job
The days of a $20K-$30K Tacoma are long gone.
You must understand, every year prices on everything goes up to include renting apartments, Case in point, NYC 1 bed in the Bronx will cost @ $1000 dollars, grocery bills go up, automotive price up, so why just pay the extra and have a reliable truck at your disposal, I am waiting for the 2020 Tacoma and will purchase a 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport 4X4.
Due to popularity, 2020 models are seeing a dealer markup on TRD models
Sadness...
I bought one and I love it, yes I could have gotten a off-road but then I wouldn't have gotten that sweet blue.
Richard walker the voodoo blue has now been released for the 2020 trd off road.
Good video
honda should watch this and study about this traction lesson 😂
While I’d love to own the PRO, the off road is the best bang for your buck!
Chris R. Why is that ?
Because a different oem suspension, and wheels, with "pro" badges, a fake hood scoop, and name brand fog lights shouldn't cost $6,000 more.
ZMB KLR understood
I hate the stupid Snorkel
@@layne4376 It is OEM regardless of the manufacturer if its installed as original equipment at assembly. A notable portion of parts in a vehicle are not manufactured by the name on the grille. Doesn't matter if its Fox, Samsung, Bosch, or Goodyear, its all considered OEM.
Would have been interesting to see you try getting out of the sand, in 4x4 Low, without crawl control. I bet it would have made it without issue.
Please do a 4runner limited off-road
Damn. Now I want a Tacoma TRD pro and I'm not even a fan of tacomas.
Toyota 70 series are pretty capable too. Unfortunately they never made it to North America.
A locked rear diff is better than MTS, better than crawl control, better then any torque vectoring system. Just nothing beats a diff locker.
I wish mid size trucks were more spacious in the front and especially back seats. It’ll be well worth the money for them instead of forking over $70k for a half ton truck.
Amen to that. Even my little kids complain about the back seat
@@---rg1gb Yeah it sucks.
I believe 2020 has also a power driver seat with up and down seat adjustment that makes fitting into a Taco much better.
Paul M yes!
It sure is capable.
I find it peculiar that you can't take this taco through a car wash while it wears the snorkel addon but it's ok to plow through dirty water while out dicking around in the sticks or at the beach. I'm wondering if a better solution might be just installing an aftermarket air breather of the type that rides under the hood in a position that sucks up "Cooler" air from the side of the truck?
I think it's more about it getting broke off by the scrubbers like your antenna. Not sure but that's what I thought of having worked at a car wash as a kid.
@@ship4427 You're probably right. Dang man, I posted that comment about a year ago.
@@MrTjmk yah im late finding the channel and im loving it.
Wow never think of that GoPro using skill
He said how the all wheel drive system works? There’s a difference between 4x4 and all wheel drive. The taco is 4 wheel not all wheel.
What trail is this?
We filmed this one on several trails, all off I-90 outside of Seattle.
Around northbend?
There is no "all wheel drive system" on a tacoma.
Although it's not a standard test in your off-road videos, I'm curious to see a list of vehicles that have made it up that rutted hill climb. Off the top of my head:
The Obvious: Tacoma TRD Pro, 4Runner Off-Road (not sure if that was same hill), Jeep Gladiator, New G-Wagon
The Surprises: 2019 Honda Passport,
Anything else attempt it?
Not yet. Since we first do the Rock Trail, that usually draws the line for the lesser vehicles.
@@drivingsports Got it. It's a fun test. Would love to see how Subaru and some other "soft roaders" and AWD systems handle it. It's cool how i-vtm4 designed for handling on-road has translated quite well to off-roading. I also wonder how a stock 4Runner Sr5 would do (not the offroad edition)? No locking dif, but ATRAC. Also - nicely filmed reviews all around, appreciate the effort that goes into getting a variety of cool vehicle shots.

10:08 Can I just take that and blow it up and put it on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?
i just bought one last month a cement 2019 trd 4x4 tech pkg was $40.700 msrp cloth and no sunroof thats another almost 6k im absolutly infuriated that toyota has made it impossible to get a sunroof without a 5700 pkg absolutly ridiculous i tempted to park it back at the dealer let them have it back

As much I love the pro, it’s over priced.. my 4x4 off road Tacoma does the same stuff.
Just buy a sr 4x4 2.7 it can do all that stuff for less then 30k out the door
sorry but at 47k you are getting drum brakes in the back, that's ridiculous considering this is 2019 while they got 1920 tech in it. So its an instant buzzkill.
Yeah i dont think you know how sand looks like...
47k vs what??? it has to be pick up truck
Maverick price the max.. will be 32k to 36k with all the comfortable features plus the 4k and off-road package
Interesting how most reviewers only put the truck in sand. Makes me wonder why. Does Crawl Control work poorly in mud or something? No, it's what Toyota told them to do. These reviewers do not talk to the viewers, they present nothing more than an ad for the vehicle. And then they want you to subscribe for more of their regurgitation of Toyota's demands on these reviewers. I'm in the market for a new truck. I have found that almost everyone of these reviewers just say the same thing. One reviewer had his 4 Runner stuck. When he tried to get it unstuck, he tried straight, nothing. He tried left and nothing. Then he turned it right, it started to come out of that situation, but he immediately turned it the left and it began to fail again. He then stated the truck does have it's limitations. So, all I really know is the truck's accouterments and some off road. But the offroad seems to be the same in all reviews. Another thing that pisses me off is the fact every reviewer likes the new army green color. Not one has said they didn't like the new color. Really? I hate that color.
We use sand because that’s what’s safely available to demonstrate the feature. At least where we live, mud can be very tricky and the chances of getting stranded or damaging the vehicle are much higher.
It’s quite weird to not see a .50cal at the back of this thing 😂😂
Incorrect
Being a wrangler guy this has been catching my eyes
Tacoma has been a last place finisher on multiple conparison tests recently.

Norm T I’d take the Tacoma any day
@@CarnutMM just not these days.
"In last place is the supremely disappointing Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma is all hat and no cattle; it looks fantastic, but whether you haul air or hay, it's let down by a cramped cabin, narrow bed, grabby brakes, and an engine and transmission that work in tandem about as well as a pack of cats and dogs."

Tacoma doesn’t have AWD!
Right, 4X4 on demand.
eddie saninocencio the GMC Canyon does though!
@@JeepCherokeeful And will break Down before 100K GMC techno crap
Awd is shitty for true off roading. For road conditions it is a better option however off-roading it sucks
47000k jajajajjaajaaa no
Ford Ranger has dominated every Test Against Toyota Tacoma on youtube,.....Towing, Braking, Acceleration, Interior Comfort and quality and yes off roading. Ford Ranger is a better more refined truck.
Did you watch our Ranger review? As stated in it, I generally prefer the Ranger versus all other trims of the Tacoma. However, the TRD Pro is a special vehicle that deserves its legions of fans. ua-cam.com/video/j3wmmIoMRZ0/v-deo.html
I wouldn’t trade a Tacoma for a ranger... NEVER
Todd - Agreed, but Ranger needs more options - including V6 (non turbo), and "retro" features, like the 1980s-90s Rangers had.
Back in the day, you could custom order them - 4 cyl, OR V6, manual locking hubs, 5spd manual trans., choices of cabs, and bed length configurations - even get vent windows!
Ranger is garbage, no one is buying them.
@guy proulx I don't think I have seen any sales figures for the Gladiator, it wouldn't surprise me If they are low because of the high price tag.
For the money, I rather go ZR2 Diesel. And that’s coming from someone that has nothing but Toyota’s in the garage/driveway.
$47,812.? And- you can't even take it through a car wash?
Don't tell me you can't get something almost as good, used - for HALF that price!
I always wash my truck, I never take it to the car wash, you must be lazy, so your complaining because you cannot take your Tacoma TRD PRO through the car wash, what a minuscule reason, look at the whole picture.
Go with off road model.
Not going through a car wash will not hinder my decision, you must be a lazy or dumb individual if your deciding on this truck if I had the money I would purchase the 2020 TRD PRO and hand wash the truck myself, it will be a lot cleaner than a car wash.
What if you live in an apartment complex without access to a hose? Just hand wash and rinse the whole truck? Pssh..GTFOH. Not lazy bruh, just practical. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
barrel up the hill with standard toyota 4x4, save your money on the overpriced models this for people who have no clue how to drive in the woods
