Trail Running With The New 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- Many Tacoma owners push their trucks in the wilderness. The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma Off Road has enhancements that make it a better trail companion. 33-inch off road-oriented tires on 17-inch wheels, large front brakes, Bilstein monotube remote reservoir shocks with end stop control valve and an optional sway bar disconnect help to get a driver home from the woods. Tom Voelk checks out a pre-production unit near Malibu, CA with off road driving instructor Matt Frohlich on a course that’s tougher than it looks (cameras never show how severe terrain is).
Note- these are pre-production truck and some of the finishes and trim were not finalized at this press launch.
Tom attended a manufacturer sponsored event that provided travel, food and lodging. Opinions remain his and his alone.

Tom, I love your reviews. They are not filled with "OMG That's insane" language over and over again. True pro, class act. Thanks Tom, Good job, again.
OMG! You're insanely awesome for saying that!!!
The fact I can't really afford to buy a mid trim Taco must mean that I've fallen out of the middle class. Sucks.
You didn't fall out of the middle class. Decades of government interference in the economy, 50 years of fiat currency and inflation has destroyed our saving and purchasing power. The middle class has been destroyed.
As aways a great unbiased review,
Tacoma the highest selling midsized truck in America for 20 years. 😊
Good footage and excellent details on the new Toyota Tacoma, not sure I would buy this truck due to the price.
I love my 2020 with the long bed, got a 6 inch lift UCA's all smooth and such a great truck! Can locker up on the go and pulled out a couple jeeps one had its wench stuck in the ground and its ass sticking up in the air a tow hook rip out and I saved the day if not they were stuck in the woods all night I garantee that
Yea. Not sure why today's truck buyers want more backseat and less bed. Isn't that bed what makes a pick up?
I like the color orange on the truck, but with dust on the surface, it looks pink!
The older "Inferno" orange looked 100% better.
This new orange looks neon in the sun. Not a fan.
A locking center diff are you talking a transfer case locker and a rear locker. That makes no sense?
Gave my wife an “oh shit” handle need the shifter. Good. She’s gonna need it 😂
Insane prices for a midsize truck these days. When they jack up the price of everything it just makes people say "well that's not bad compared to everything else" 50K+ is a lot no matter what you compare it to. Marketing scheme to get people to compare it to other things. Doesn't work with me.
I drive a 2020 Tacoma with a 4 cylinder for work. It averages 12-14mpg……15-16mpg downhill. If I personally get a 24 for myself, I’d roll with the V-6.
They actually put those frame welds on display.....for the public to see.
Well, not parting with my Trail Boss until I can get my hands on the iForce Max Off-Road trim. Otherwise, I'd just keep the Trail Boss.
I look forward to seeing the fuel economy numbers for the standard off-road trip and the iForce Max off-road trim. I need to replace my current truck and I am considering the Taco.
@M1911jln the hybrid system is for power not mpg
Chevy?? 😂 good luck…
I’m not a truck guy, but I do like the charm of the current one with the V6. Wonder if any of that is left. Thanks Tom!
I thought the third gen V6 was kind of a dog, especially with the 6 speed slush box. This should be a massive improvement.
Tom, Are those manual shifts 'awkward' compared to other trucks or awkward compared to sports cars? 🤔 As a person holding out hope for the debut of a manual Land Cruiser FJ or return of the manual 4Runner, this whole conversation is awkward. 😂
I've had 3 MT Taco OR. Currently in a 2020 Taco OR Premium 4x4 6-Speed Manual. Yes, it is a manual and the shifting is typical of a truck. Keeping it forever after hearing the V4 Turbo and the cost of the 2024. Stupid expensive, yes there are upgrades. Also saw the gas tank is now only 18 gallons. 2020 has a 21.1 gallon tank.
I understand this is not supposed to be a GR Corolla or Miata but I found the dynamic awkward, truck or no truck. I am not the only person who found this to be the case. That's my opinion. Test drive. You're the one living with the truck.
@@DrivenCarReviews Fair enough!
The top-of-the-travel clutch take up is getting a lot of ink and is an issue.. Is it a preproduction thing, something Toyota will fix, or something buyers will have to accept? The very long throw will also be annoying, if that’s carried into production.
@@Dukiedukester We'll see.
I’ll just keep my 3rd gen TRD Off Road.
I wonder how much the hybrids are gonna sell for...the new prices are ridiculous...im happy with my 21 sr5..will never buy another taco unles they greatly improve the mpg on these new trucks
1. Price
2. Turbo 4 cylinder engine
3. No 6 foot bed option
All deal breakers for me.
Bought a 2024 Frontier that solved all those problems.
Tacoma will have 5 or 6 ft. opinion. The Hybrid Tacoma will have way more Hp and Torque than the Frontier. 😅 326 Hp 465 Torque
The hybrid will also be significantly more expensive.
They shrunk the manual truck's back doors a bit looks awkward
The half door is prerunner model
Your co-driver misspoke. The part-time 4WD system does not have a center differential. Anytime you put that Taco in 4WD, the front and rear driveshafts turn at the same speed. The 2024 Limited trim with the iForce Max engine will have a fulltime 4WD with a lockable, limited slip, Torsen center diff -- very similar to the Limited trim of the 5th Gen 4Runner and the 200 Series Land Cruiser.
I've done a fair bit of off-roading in CO. I much prefer an automatic when driving off-road. It's just easier -- you can left-foot brake and ease over obstacles while controlling your speed. You can easily startup in sand without digging in. The automatic is faster 0-60 than the manual and gets better fuel economy as well. I only owned manuals for my first 25 years of driving and I prefer them in sporty cars. But this isn't a sporty car; it's a truck.
Not to be the "actually" guy, but... Actually, when you put a vehicle with part time 4WD into 4WD, you're locking the center diff to spin the front and rear driveshafts at the same time. "Locking the center diff" and "putting it into 4WD" are synonyms. The TRDOR Taco has both a locking center diff and a locking rear diff, they just don't use the phrase "locking center diff."
@@ScreamsPenguin No, I'm sorry, but you are wrong here. The part-time 4WD system has a two-speed transfer case but it does not have a center differential. A center differential would allow the front and rear driveshafts to turn at different speeds -- which is how your open front and rear differentials work. You can't lock or unlock a part-time 4WD system. When put a part-time 4WD system into 4WD (whether high or low), the front and rear driveshafts turn at the same speed.
In contrast, a fulltime 4WD system has a center differential. Just like your front and rear diffs, the center diff takes input torque and supplies that torque to the front and rear driveshafts, while allowing them to turn at different speeds. The Torsen is a gear-driven center diff that is limited slip and lockable. When you lock a Torsen center diff, then the front and rear driveshafts turn at the same speed, just like a part-time 4WD system.
But, but definition, a part-time 4WD system does not have a center differential. It does have a transfer case.
@@M1911jln Hmmm you're right that the transfer case isn't a differential, but when you put it into 4WD it's essentially the same thing as a locked center diff. I was definitely confused there, thanks for the long explanation.
Tell that to the gen 3 guys. All I hear about is how slow their automatic transmission is versus then gen 3 manual.
Did he refer to to the Chevy as the "Trail Moss?"
4 cylinder , no not for me….😮
Did I hear that right, a PART TIME four wheel drive with CENTRE differential?
Seriously? Part time 4WD don’t have a centre differential only FULL time 4WDs do.
The Limited will be a fulltime 4WD
Part time 4WD only has a transfer case in both H and L
@DrivenCarReviews you are talking about a transfer case my guy.
@@billnapier1605 Damn, it's been a hell of a week for typos.
@@DrivenCarReviews oh yeah, I fat fingered that one for sure.
When the next generation comes out, all the journalists are gonna say how bad this one was.
Considering how long Toyota keeps a generation, we might all be dead.
1:56 The new TRD off road don't come with dual climate control while the old one comes standard and you are paying more for the new one. Toyota is being cheap or what?
I’m pretty sure no dual climate and the standard trim off-road, but it does come on the premium trim off-road which is thousands more.
Peak horsepower is the dumbest measure ever. Unless it aligns with peak torque, it’s a useless number. No one is driving 100mph to get to use it.
Honda Ridgeline for the win... (No, I don't rock crawl...)
Not a truck
😂😂😂😂😂
Honda Ridgline's are cool because they are a Honda but they are ugly, I hunt and on the road so it would work but I got the 2020 Tacoma Off Road bad boy gets a lot of looks
Ridgeline ....a SUV with a bed in the back.
Am I the only one that hates the big TACOMA spelled out on the dash? It just looks so childish to me!
You seem to be the only one so far. BTW, it's literally listed as a feature in Toyotas spec sheet.
I seen this engineering guy before, but never in the truck… like driving your own creation; very awkward
I look at TRD and have to pronounce it...'turd'. Not the best naming convention.
Never understood what Toyota racing had to do with a Tacoma.
Off road racing. Toyota does a lot of it.
This new Tacoma is great news for owners of prior gens. It’s such junk, the prior gens will become way more desirable. Still can’t touch a 2nd Gen with a manual for under $30k in the west. This will boom that price even more … this new Tacoma is fat, long, low, and techy … all the things that the cult users don’t like.
45 thousand dollar truck I will not be off-road it.
Big and ugly. I am waiting for a 3-person single cab with fat 14-inch wheels and 7-foot bed.
Sheldon needs to lose 59 pounds. It is not healthy. I have Gen 1 Tacoma, and this Taco is not as good looking as it should be. 4 cylinders truck with turbo is not a great choice.
Doubtful if a turbo 4 in a truck will make it to 100,00 miles without an issue.
