- Here is an ownership update on my 2024 Tacoma. I'll discuss the performance, fuel economy, pros and cons on the Tacoma, along with the KO3 tires.

I like that you're using those turbo's, increasing pressure, and towing a trailer (even a light one), want to see if those turbos are going to make it to 200K miles.
Good lord that has more rock chips already than my 2018 and I have like a -12 offset with 275s.
Have my dealer trying to locate a TRD OR Premium in super sonic. Not many around right now.
Do have 285 70r17 BF goodrich all terrain tires that's what I put on my 2024 tacoma TRD off-road l love it
Yes I do.
@@Rodneysnwridesandreviews Are they E rated if so, did they hurt your performance
Toyota needs to put factory ppf over the whole rear fender.
I totally agree. Can you imagine what the TRD pro models will look like after a year.
Keep the factory sized tires if you don’t want rocks flinging onto the rear fenders… think about the people driving behind you! Either buy wider fenders or better mud flaps if you wanna get bigger tires
@@kevinbradley8613 there are people with factory tires having the same problem.
@@jmpattillo the OEM mud flaps don’t seem very effective. Mine didn’t come with the flaps, but I haven’t had any issues so far. I did purchase some sliders that I’m hoping will help to keep rocks from flying. The tires definitely love grabbing them! Unfortunately, it seems like we’ll have to depend on the aftermarket for more functional mud flaps. It’s odd how they decided on having them angled the way they are instead of vertically. I can’t stand seeing people with larger tires poking out of their fenders. I assumed the guy here had installed larger tires before watching the full video, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
How come you have a small screen with the upgrade pkg. ??
Thanks for the video✌🏻
The TRD Off-Road upgrade package has been coming with the smaller screen at least in our region. The standard TRD Off-Road has been coming with the 14” screen and heated seats. I can’t explain why, it’s just what we’ve been receiving.
I wanted the premium package, but we haven’t received any allocations for them yet. We have received several TRD Sport premium models though.
Rodney, have you ever considered Falcon Wildpeaks? I have heard good things about them?
I have, but I’ve heard they are heavier than the KO3’s so I was trying save as much mileage as I could with an upgraded tire. Wild Peak’s may be my next tire though.
Running boards help
Are you using wireless car play? If so, do you know if it behaves better when using wired car play?
Yes I’m using wireless Carplay. I haven’t tried it while being tethered.
It's too bad the new BFG KO3's have the balance issues like the KO2's. I would have tried a set if the balance issues would have been resolved.
It could also be that because it holds rocks in the tread, the rocks could be making it feel unbalanced
Even though I don’t routinely drive on unimproved roads, I am adding ppf today to the “hips” on my off road. I figure $32 for ppf is a good investment.
It is, where did you find them? That’s a great price if they adhere properly
The owner’s manual makes no mention of using higher octane fuel for better performance. Use 87 octane minimum. regular unleaded is all you need
In theory, if it's a high compression engine (no, clue, haven't checked and I don't care enough to check) the ECU will advance the timing a bit due to the slower ignition on the premium, so it'd run with a little more power/better fuel economy. If they recommend 87 then I kind of doubt it's a high compression engine and yeah.... nuts to throwing octane in a hole in the ground.
@@padrescout the car care nut (really good channel for Toyota related maintenance), mentioned using higher octane fuels “occasionally” because of the detergents they use to help keep your engine clean, but if the engine is rated for 87 octane, it’s kind of pointless to waste money expecting your engine to run smoother or with better power when it’s set up for 87. The manual just says to use 87 octane or higher. I’ve owned several cars with high compression engines and they will recommend using minimum 89, 91, or higher and it’s usually posted right inside the fuel door of the vehicle. The 5.7 hemi wanted 89 minimum or the Nissan VQ37 wanted 91 minimum for example. Neither of those engines use forced induction but still required premium fuels. The 2.0 Turbos in the VW gti and Subaru wrx also required premium fuels as turbo charged, high compression motors. The 2.4 T in the new Taco is set up kind of like the old 3.5 ecoboost motors, which also took regular unleaded happily.
