I like the truck but not so much on the color. Here’s a fun fact: the 1979 Toyota 4x4, ( first year in the U.S.) I had was about $7,100. 😳 Before there was a V6, extended cab, TRD, and a lot more. Thanks for sharing it Joe and nice job Steven! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

There’s some good competition in this midsize truck segment… But none that’ll last as long or have the resale value as this beautiful Tacoma…. Toyota definitely needs a redesign they can keep the power train but we need a redesign for sure !! Great work again joe and team !!

I love the truck. I'd be putting a wrap on it or painting it a different color, though. My first car was that color. I didn't like it then, I still don't like it now. lol
It's Taco Monday On Throttle Tiiiiiiiime!!! This is awesome 👌 👏 Toyota reliability AAAANNNNND a manual transmission!!! Interior begging for an upgrade aside, what's not to love. You want a truck to do truck things? This. Is. It. Maximum respect for the Taco review here Joe and Lori and Steven!!! Y'all are the best!!!
Got a 20 trd pro. It's loaded and perfect for what I need. Price hurt but what isn't expensive. And a lifetime power train warranty if I have them Do oil changes every 10k. Sold. This is going to mybson and I will definitely buy another as long as they don't change.
I'm loving the fact that Toyota did a good job on the Tacoma TRD Pro and I think It's the Apostle of the pickup truck and the incandescent bulbs are growing but the interior isn't the most modern.
Toyota has been kicking everyone's butt in the midsize truck segment. A terrific color, a very sporty configuration. Various people on UA-cam keep predicting doom for Toyota because they are taking so long to come out with electric vehicles. But they are steadily improving their product line, and i see no major problems here. Hard to believe that a midsize truck is going to be around $50k out the door. What happened to "low price" Toyota?
The reason why Toyota only put on the one rigid fogs at the bottom is because of the lift on the stock TRD Pro, that way they don’t have to worry about the no more than 30” max height for some state laws with fog lights.
I love seeing your car reviews because cars are awesome, the 6-speed sifter on the Tacoma is pain in the butt, but like the automatic transmission better. But yeah I love seeing reviews from other car brands like Toyota,Nissan,Chevrolet,BMW,Dodge,Honda,Kia,& other car manufacturers
Yes, m/t uses a key and a/t is push button start. The m/t has a clutch start cancel switch so you start it in gear without rolling backwards if the need arises. It also does not have Multi Terrain Select or Crawl Control but it does have a switch to select Active Traction Control (A-Trac).
My god I think I'm going to cry. I can't believe it has a manual transmission. That takes me back to my high school days. That makes me want that truck. I love a gasoline engine and manual transmission. I'm just not with this whole new electrical car automatic transmission bullshit. But I would love to have that truck
Just watched the video. Could not agree more with the zonk’s. My 2015 tax has the fake scoop & dam drum rear breaks. Do not understand why drum. Plus the paint is coming off on the roof and hood. Any other Tacoma owners with this problem. Another great video. Thank’s Joe!
I got a 2001 Toyota Sequoia with the legendary 4.7 v8 I always say I’m getting a manual Tacoma whenever my sequoia brakes down beyond repair..problem is they simply don’t break so I’m guessing I will stay with my sequoia.

Got a chance to look at an extremely low mile 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro in electric lime green this Saturday. It's an automatic. I love shifting but I'm getting old enough and still drive enough miles to work that a manual transmission would start to get old. Love the color and want to keep the truck for a long time if I buy it.
I had a 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport Manual for 2 months. I hatedddddd it. The transmission was so clunky. (I am a lifelong manual driver). First gear was horribly short and hard to get into. There are so many nanny’s on the clutch and throttle. Go with the automatic.
Hey cars youtuber champ, keep going myself and my family love to watch your cars videos thank you so much for all that effort you have been done and say hi to miss lury
Grateful for the review, what driver assisted aides (like adaptive cruise control) come with the manual truck? I am interested in the difference between the auto and manual transmission. Thanks
$46,000 (😳) is a hard pill to swallow, especially with rear drum brakes, no keyless start, etc. For about $43,000 you can get a fairly loaded Ford Ranger 4x4 with 310 ft/lbs of torque
@@ryanoliver5669 dude it’s a TRD pro for a reason. F the color it could be purple, its not hurting the resale. Toyota is best in the industry in that area
lol the ranger will rust at the junkyard while the tacoma will just get its regular maintenance.You pay 43k for the rock solid reliability and durability.This is a very durable truck and nothing come close to it in that department.
Save the $7k and get the off road. No stupid hood scoop and you can always upgrade the suspension if you think you need it. I think the Off Road is the better value.
I love the hood scoop but wish it was functional and off road is the better way to go indeed. For the pro if they would’ve upgraded the power numbers it definitely would’ve been better to entice more buyers that’s why for me I didn’t go with the pro model
almost anything manual is more fun to drive. when I was in kandahar afghanistan during my deployment I drove a bus full of soldiers out to a fob for gate duty. it was an upcycled old hyundai bus with a 5 speed. that old beater was fun as heck to drive around on dirt roads.
Hear Ford teamed up with v.w. build their pickup so the rangers going to be bigger and finally with a v6 . Have you herd anything? Also which one do you like better taco ,ranger , frontier ? Can you do frontier king cab 6ft bed 4x4 not green .thxs Joe. P.s. where's Lori?
Never heard you laugh so much in any of your other reviews. MT is definitely a fun driving experience, especially off road. Hope the still make a MT version when I’m in the market for a new truck in a couple years.
At the end of next year, this will be redesigned with 4-bangers all over the place, so if you want a six-pot, its now or never. I have no interest in turbo-4-banging. A manual 6-speed Taco. There is no substitute.
I found a manual 2022.. I've been searching for a review like this..only issue is I think the dealership wants too much, especially since it has a lil bit of body work...they want $37 k an it has 12k miles

I started a Facebook group for M/T tacoma owners only. I bought one new in 2018. Worst powertrain Ive ever driven, even with the stick, 5 and 6th are so close is basically a 5 speed with 2 OD’s. Zero low end torque,

Thanks for another great review. Just bought a 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport!
Congrats Gary! I appreciate the extra support!
I didn't know there was a manual version of the Tacoma. Even when some parts look/are dated it is still an incredible truck.

That's the only way to rock-crawl tbh.

Toyota would sell more of these if dealers actually ordered them with the manual. I wish the 4 runner was offered with the manual as well.
Truck of my dreams! Manual transmission, color, Toyota! Perfection! GREAT JOB JOE!
Dream, big!
“Millennial anti theft device “ too funny! 😂
So true 😂I'm glad my '12 is manual 😎🤘🏾
What only none car people are idiots not knowing manual thats just disapointing
That's what this old lady is thinking! The young ones just can't do it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I just love this video so much!! I miss my 95 ford ranger 5 speed manual! the tacoma is a bit out of my budget.
An M/T option is so vital for some enthusiasts, Good strategy by Toyota for being the only mid-sized truck with a stick
those sells like crazy for a reason.Simple, no useless gadgets,rock solid reliability and durability.Id pay 43k for it anyday of the week.
Jeep Gladiator pickup also has a MT option
looks better then my GMC CANYON. sharp body lines, cool color, beefy tires, love the nose on the truck. looks very Aggressive.

Drum brakes are to prevent sand / outside elements from interfering the rear brakes when off roading.

Manual trucks are the best for one reason. You don't get people asking to barrow them to move a bed.
Does this get a physical key because it's a stick shift? It would make sense if you have to start it again quickly after it stalls
Yes, m/t uses a key and a/t is push button start. The m/t has a clutch start cancel switch so you start it in gear without rolling backwards if the need arises. It also does not have Multi Terrain Select or Crawl Control but it does have a switch to select Active Traction Control (A-Trac).
