I had this same model in a 2018 cement short bed version. I traded it for a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatch Nightshade in Super White. Let that sink in. The dealership gave me more than what I paid for it four years ago. So far I am loving the Corolla. No REGERTS!
Alright Toyota!!! Man you can't beat the Toyota reliability at all. Toyota sure can update a number of things with their next generation Taco but for a midsized truck this is the one to get!!! My dad has had three and he drove em all into the ground!!! He's on his fourth now and it has nearly 200k on it!!! Great review like nobody else can do it!!! Joe and Lori y'all came along and carved out your own corner of the UA-cam and absolutely pushing it!!! Thumbs up!!!
I always owned Toyota trucks and SUVs. You can always depend of them, never leave you on the side of the road, and they hold their value very well. Let's compare price between the Tacoma and the pro X in a few years. Love the channel brother and keep doing what you are doing. I am overseas deployed and when we get to Port I have to watch your channel.
I'm on my 3rd Taco. The inside still leaves a lot to be desired but i think it's the nicest looking from the outside. Oh yeah, my Taco is currently worth 5k more than my payoff right now. Nothing on the road can touch that
My daily driver is a 2019 Tacoma Crew Cab TRD Off Road 4x4. I bought it new in Jan of 2019 and as of today I have around 172k miles. Absolutely love this truck, no issues other than regular maintenance (replaced brake pads last week). The Wrangler Tires I did not like, easily punctured…I have KO2s now. My wife drives a 2022 lime rush TRD Pro 4Runner (bought it in February) and my son has a 2002 Tacoma (TRD Off Road 4x4) with around 280k miles…everything works including the wonderful 4WD system and rear lockers…we had to replace the drive shaft recently but it’s lifted 5 inches and roll 33” KO2s. Other than the drive shaft, only regular maintenance (including timing belt and water pump. Oh forgot we had to replace the clutch at 200k miles. We have other vehicles too, but the Tacomas as well as the 4Runner are terrific vehicles.
My pops just bought himself a 2022 Tacoma 4x4 off-road long bed after proudly owning a 2002 Tacoma V6 with 250,000 miles / still up and running even after 15 years of helping our party rental business. We also drove it through roads & rivers of Mexico. Beautiful roads of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, & our beloved home California. These trucks are the real deal. You will get your moneys worth & some. 💯
It's hard to beat the quality and the resale value! I bought a Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition earlier this year and I just bought a Tacoma last week! Let me know on the GT3 videos! No pressure, just an offer.
@Red I wish that made me cool. I'm also looking at purchasing my fifth 4Runner. I just sold my last one when I got the Land Cruiser but I already miss it. I might give it to my son just as an excuse to get it back in the family. My wife won't think it makes sense if I buy it just for me...and she's right, but us car nuts don't need things to make sense when it comes to our vehicles.
Those drum brakes actually work pretty good I live in Phoenix & it was raining lately & I turned off the traction and stability control yank that e-brake about 30 mph, it did a pretty damn good 180° turn around 😂
wish they'd stay like that, i heard toyota has a new approval for reusing damaged parts in their production which sucks because the whole point of buying a Toyota is having good quality control
Thousands of miles in an Xterra Pro, Frontier Pro and now a new Frontier Pro. Bulletproof dependability. Excellent performance. NEVER let me down… EVER. Nuff said
Can’t go wrong with the proven Tacoma, but I’m looking at the Frontier Pro 4x because it looks more modern and interior is much better. The Tacoma might go right back into 1st place with the upcoming redesign, but for 2022… Frontier Pro 4x
Had a Tacoma for 3 years never breaks down, just change oil, still rides nice only thing to worry about are the excessive mods you will want to add on. Nissan quality has gone down some and I use to own a Z and it was great but they need to re earn consumer trust, another thing is the Tacoma back seats fold flat and it’s basically a trunk at that point super useful.
@@2011buddylee I agree. Also the benefit of all of them having most likely better interior from the current gen and hopefully prices are back to normal
@Living in an Inverse Reality aka Clown World Love how Tacoma fanboys talk about resale value and longevity. If you are planning on keeping the truck forever, as most Tacoma owners swear they'll do, then what good does resale value do you?
In the next 2 years I’ll be buying a new vehicle. The Tacoma seems to be one of the smarter choices I can make. Can drive it in all 4 seasons (Canada), it’s a fuel efficient TRUCK, and hopefully cost efficient when it comes to maintenance too. Also shout out raitis rides, your my fav/the best UA-cam channel for car reviews.
The New Nissan Frontier Pro4x leaves this thing in the dust! Toyota needs to give the new Tacoma the treatment it gave the new Tundra and then maybe it can compete. Great job as usual Joe and Lori!

The Frontier 310 hp sounds great, but my 2006 Frontier burned me bad ($5K) with the bad transmission oil cooling design. Still holding a grudge. Got me a 2020 Tacoma. happy as can be
I changed the radiator on my 08 Nissmo Frontier at 60,000 miles and never looked back before it gave out and contaminated my transmission. It is the best truck I've ever owned and it's still faster then the new Tacoma's. It about to hit 300,000 miles and no issues
@@chrisgarcia5462 Good to know because my old Frontier is now being driven by my daughter going through college. Your right, those Frontiers were fast.
For small/mid-size trucks, Tacoma is king for a reason. They're the best. not in ergonomics, technology, performance and flashiness. But where it matters. Reliability. Reputation. They also looks the best. So to conclude, if you are going to lease, lease a Pro 4X or even go lease a wrangler/Gladiator. But if you plan on keeping it a long time, buy a Tacoma,.
Taco !! Had mahi taco’s for lunch today 😃 I prefer the look of the Nissan more……..interior as well, but the SV 4x4 trim. I’m not an off road guy……I like the roads. Thanks Joe and Lori…….awesome job! 👍
That’s really wild… my 21 trd offroad has the premium pkg with leather, led interior lights, led headlights with the awesome led drl’s , led fog lights, led bed lights, led puddle lights under the truck, sunroof, heated seats, JBL, all terrain duratracs that were an upgrade option to the standar highway tires, trd pro shift knob and all weather Toyota mats. It’s weird how that one had leather and front camera and sunroof but no led headlights.
@@bluejaye44 our trd premium pkg includes headlights in SET district. Can’t get the led headlights by themselves. I’m a Toyota rep and added bed lights myself
@@bluejaye44 yeh most time we get the prem offroad pkg which has everything in one for MSRP of $5100 . I am not a fan of the projector led 2n1 fogs and prefer the regular led fogs. Bed lights are around $300 MSRP if building but can be bough cheaper from parts and pop in yourself. Can’t wait for my 22 tundra to arrive :)
Hi Joe, love the Toyota Tacoma but even though it may not be luxurious, love how what Toyota did. Thank you Lori, you're the Cqmera's Disciple these angles are stunning!
It's amazing how the Tacoma with drum brakes and other unchanged items over the years manage to increase the retail price, the profit margin I'm sure is very good. Awesome review as always Joe
I really did like my Tacoma the brief time I had but the new Nissan is way better in my opinion. The Taco is just too out dated in so many ways to get it over the Nissan and with the next Ranger on the horizon they better make some big changes to stay in the game.
The new Frontier has the slight edge at the moment. It’s got the new hotness in design philosophy and the main draw is that it has a much better transmission than what the Tacoma has. Now I do expect Toyota to change that very soon here if they put the 10 speed in the new Tundra into the 2023 Tacoma update. However, I’m not loving the design of the next Tacoma based on the spy photos we’ve seen so far. I actually like the new Tundra design, but they took all the worst bits from that and brought it over to the Tacoma where it just doesn’t look right. The rumored hybrid power train could be a big deal though given that the fuel economy in the midsize segment is still not great. If you can get close to Maverick Ecoboost numbers in a true midsize body on frame truck, that could be something. Edit: Oh yeah, and the Tacoma still has drum brakes on the rear while the Nissan does not.
VOODOO Blue looks good but I will take one in Lunar Rock just love that color. Great job like always Lori 👏🏻 👍🏻. Question Joe! Why Lori does not ride with you on the On Throttle segment. Or or let her take the wheel sometimes. That would be cool.
Another gorgeous blue that Toyota makes. Voodoo blue is as well one my favorite blues Toyota offers. I hope Toyota adds voodoo blue to the color palette for the new tundra
Joe,would it be wiser to get a Silverado or this tocoma,I'm thinking about getting a truck but I don't know what I want yet, what would you recommend for a 1st time ever truck?
Great job Joe & Lori as always. For the difference in money, I'd go with an F-150 with the 2.7 or a Silverado 5.3 1500 LT every time! Much more comfortable, better leg room etc.... worth a few extra $$$ in my opinion.
I disagree I like the smaller truck in the Tacoma & it's extremely proven. Probably have less problems in the long run compared to the Chevy/GMC But if you're not going to keep it that long yes them Chevys are nice. My buddy has the GMC Sierra 1500 Z71. It's a pretty badass truck but I would rather have the Tacoma even if both of them were the same price easier to drive easier to park both look very good so. 2 Each his own lol
As far as reliability, any vehicle will last forever with proper preventative maintenance, there’s a frontier that was featured that hit a million miles, because of the maintenance upkeep, so it’s really up to the owner and how they take care of their vehicle
Im sorry but though Tacoma is a well equipped reliable truck I dont see how anyone can drive it with anything less then the V6 option and the manual. I got a 2022 as a free upgrade rental with the 2.7 four cylinder with 18k on it somebody had been off roading in it so I eventually returned it due to rattling exhaust and got another one this time a higher trim 4x4 with blacked out badging with the 3.5 V6 which sounds amazing by the way I dont know what exact trim it is I assume its one of the TRD trims but the 4 cylinder also said TRD but had none of the drivetrain functions like the V6 I got. But my short time with the 2.7 it was so slow I was afraid to get on the highway and the 6 speed automatic is rough and indecisive with shifts. Once I got the V6 it was much better power wise. But the 6 speed automatic is a big disappointment. Shifts on both are so jerky. In the V6 if you need briskly accelerate at highway speed there is a noticeable delay in downshifts. Also at low speeds if you simply want accelerate quickly like quarter throttle it will immediately slam down to a lower gear and its like you went all the way to floor with the pedal. I tried even less input but it wont just simple go down a gear it will stay in overdrive until you press the throttle enough for it to slam down again and take off like a rocket it sounds so good though but you will have neck problems from the violent shifting. Overall I still like it with the V6 the automatic transmission is just unrefined for a 2022. When your inside of it looking over the big bulged hood though you feel like your in a full size truck and I could easily keep up on the highway with the V6 but again to the transmission it will not stay in overdrive it loves to hang out in 5th gear on the highway. It reminds me of my old 2006 grand marquis with the 4R75E with 2.73 gears it just doesn't like overdrive due to the tall gears. I dont know what the ratio in the rear end on the Tacoma is but im assuming its probably just the transmission gearing.
Awesome job as always from Joe and Lori. Just wondering if you think the TRD Sport drives and feels better than the TRD Off Road, especially on roads and highways? Also which has less road noise when driving?
Love the TRD Off Road in the long box! This was the truck I wanted but are not available in Canada. Had to settle for the Sport TRD DCLB 4X4 instead. Still love the Sport tho. The New Frontier looks really good. Competition is good.
Whole windows doesn’t drop, that is Tundra. And there is no way Tacoma weighs 6200 pounds, maybe 4800. I would zonk the stickers, I took mine off. Agree on heated steering wheel.
Collect the front grille Nissan badges in the seat back pocket LOL 😆 Love the Voodoo blue , and I especially love that longer 6’ bed configuration, much more useful and practical for MY needs . I wish they still offered it OR the cement. I just ordered this same truck , 2022 TRD Off Road double cab long bed in the Lunar Rock , that’s as close to cement as I could get . Second choice would be Army Green. My dealership is also NOT charging the BS “ market value adjustment price “ either , fair and reasonable price.
I bought a 2020 TRD Offroad long bed and it did not drive very well...lots of chassis vibrations, alignment issues and constant gear hunting. I know everybody creams their jeans over this truck, but I hated driving it. That said, I suspect mine was a lemon because I've been in other Tacomas that felt fine. I took it in to the dealership 4 times trying to get the issues resolved, but Toyota couldn't (or wouldn't) figure it out. The entire experience left me very disappointed in Toyota and their terrible dealers. I was excited for the new Frontier, but the long bed SV has a pathetic feature set, you don't even LED lights, heated seats and many other basic features. I'm actually considering getting another Tacoma because no other midsize truck is any better. It's so sad to have to compromise so much at these ridiculous prices.
I think overall the new Frontier is better, I was going to buy one but the new Tacoma will be release soon and it should beat the Nissan. Hopefully they don’t screw up the design and give us an interior, similar to the Tundra with good ergonomics (better seats). If it comes with a pano sunroof I’d buy one in a heartbeat but that’s a stretch.
Since 1980's I have the same question.. Why everyone want to beat Toyota's pick up.. I have a custom cab 4x4 1989 almost 500 thousand miles. Unkillable truck.. simply the best..
I would love to see you do a review on the limited model I’ve decided to go with that because it does what I need all the full size trucks are overpriced
The new Nissan Frontier is designed for the V-6. The Tacoma will soon go to a turbo inline four-cylinder engine. Just as good, they claim. Get a V-6 Tacoma while you still can.
I had this same model in a 2018 cement short bed version. I traded it for a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatch Nightshade in Super White. Let that sink in. The dealership gave me more than what I paid for it four years ago. So far I am loving the Corolla. No REGERTS!

Is the Tacoma better than the Frontier?? I’d say that depends on the functional modifications applied. Probably can’t go wrong with either

It's a pretty badass truck but I would rather have the Tacoma even if both of them were the same price easier to drive easier to park both look very good so. 2 Each his own lol
Yup for a couple grand more an f150 or silverado makes more sense they get better mileage and more power.
As much as I love a 4x4 Taco or 4R, I actually want a 4x2 to do the desert rat lift & wide-body set up. Just a personal choice
44k its too high. Not long ago the pro was 45k.
hows the weather in florida?? looks nice and warm! im freezing in NY
About 75 degrees. It is my favorite time of the year!
As far as reliability, any vehicle will last forever with proper preventative maintenance, there’s a frontier that was featured that hit a million miles, because of the maintenance upkeep, so it’s really up to the owner and how they take care of their vehicle
You are so very right about that!
Im sorry but though Tacoma is a well equipped reliable truck I dont see how anyone can drive it with anything less then the V6 option and the manual. I got a 2022 as a free upgrade rental with the 2.7 four cylinder with 18k on it somebody had been off roading in it so I eventually returned it due to rattling exhaust and got another one this time a higher trim 4x4 with blacked out badging with the 3.5 V6 which sounds amazing by the way I dont know what exact trim it is I assume its one of the TRD trims but the 4 cylinder also said TRD but had none of the drivetrain functions like the V6 I got. But my short time with the 2.7 it was so slow I was afraid to get on the highway and the 6 speed automatic is rough and indecisive with shifts. Once I got the V6 it was much better power wise. But the 6 speed automatic is a big disappointment. Shifts on both are so jerky. In the V6 if you need briskly accelerate at highway speed there is a noticeable delay in downshifts. Also at low speeds if you simply want accelerate quickly like quarter throttle it will immediately slam down to a lower gear and its like you went all the way to floor with the pedal. I tried even less input but it wont just simple go down a gear it will stay in overdrive until you press the throttle enough for it to slam down again and take off like a rocket it sounds so good though but you will have neck problems from the violent shifting. Overall I still like it with the V6 the automatic transmission is just unrefined for a 2022. When your inside of it looking over the big bulged hood though you feel like your in a full size truck and I could easily keep up on the highway with the V6 but again to the transmission it will not stay in overdrive it loves to hang out in 5th gear on the highway. It reminds me of my old 2006 grand marquis with the 4R75E with 2.73 gears it just doesn't like overdrive due to the tall gears. I dont know what the ratio in the rear end on the Tacoma is but im assuming its probably just the transmission gearing.
Seats 💺 are spectacular 👌 🙌
Bro I love you and your videos i wanna meet you once
Keep it up
👍
Thanks man! Maybe one day soon!
Awesome job as always from Joe and Lori. Just wondering if you think the TRD Sport drives and feels better than the TRD Off Road, especially on roads and highways? Also which has less road noise when driving?
It is actually a little softer sprung and the tires are not as off road aggressive. Both of the things make it better to daily drive!
The TRD off road is better!
The off road have crawl control and rear diff lock! The sport is just a sr5 with blue shocks and sporty hood
do pick up trucks fish tail in the snow because no weight on the back??
Not with 4x4, without it heck yes.
@@RaitisRides I can 100% confirm this. Back wheels only, it's fun to fish tail it. Once you are finished having fun, put the 4x4 on :D
Love the TRD Off Road in the long box! This was the truck I wanted but are not available in Canada. Had to settle for the Sport TRD DCLB 4X4 instead. Still love the Sport tho. The New Frontier looks really good. Competition is good.
I am so glad that I could bring this one to you!
How are you Joe? TACOMA LET'S GO!!!
Absolutely 💯 love the color 😍 ❤
It’s alright
I know it’s not for everyone
Whole windows doesn’t drop, that is Tundra. And there is no way Tacoma weighs 6200 pounds, maybe 4800. I would zonk the stickers, I took mine off. Agree on heated steering wheel.
The Tacoma’s long lost cousin is the Hilux.
I never know what he’s about to say lol😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I like to keep you guessing!
Collect the front grille Nissan badges in the seat back pocket LOL 😆 Love the Voodoo blue , and I especially love that longer 6’ bed configuration, much more useful and practical for MY needs . I wish they still offered it OR the cement. I just ordered this same truck , 2022 TRD Off Road double cab long bed in the Lunar Rock , that’s as close to cement as I could get . Second choice would be Army Green.
My dealership is also NOT charging the BS “ market value adjustment price “ either , fair and reasonable price.
I bought a 2020 TRD Offroad long bed and it did not drive very well...lots of chassis vibrations, alignment issues and constant gear hunting. I know everybody creams their jeans over this truck, but I hated driving it. That said, I suspect mine was a lemon because I've been in other Tacomas that felt fine. I took it in to the dealership 4 times trying to get the issues resolved, but Toyota couldn't (or wouldn't) figure it out. The entire experience left me very disappointed in Toyota and their terrible dealers. I was excited for the new Frontier, but the long bed SV has a pathetic feature set, you don't even LED lights, heated seats and many other basic features. I'm actually considering getting another Tacoma because no other midsize truck is any better. It's so sad to have to compromise so much at these ridiculous prices.
They missed the "u" in TRD
2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4X4 OFF-ROAD Crew Cab Long Bed!
Nice call on that one.
Joe, so what's the verdict? Is it a better truck than the Frontier?
Yes, it it. That s why I chose Toyota over nissan.
tacoma will forever be better than the frontier.
We will see how 2022 goes.
@@RaitisRides yes we shall see.
Tacoma seriously needs an update like the tundra
Hi Joe, Hi Lori (happy face)
Hey Tony!
@@RaitisRides can I come to Florida to live with you guys? haha you can adopt me as your full time on call gopher & lawn service guy, I hate Missouri
2022 and still drum brakes ?? Why would they do tjat
I think overall the new Frontier is better, I was going to buy one but the new Tacoma will be release soon and it should beat the Nissan. Hopefully they don’t screw up the design and give us an interior, similar to the Tundra with good ergonomics (better seats). If it comes with a pano sunroof I’d buy one in a heartbeat but that’s a stretch.
Since 1980's I have the same question..
Why everyone want to beat Toyota's pick up..
I have a custom cab 4x4 1989 almost 500 thousand miles. Unkillable truck.. simply the best..
God that Voodoo blue is wickeeeeeeeeeeeeed.
Waiting for Toyota to do a Hybrid Tacoma with a modern refreshed interior just like what they did with the Tundra.
That will be interesting to see.
I would love to see you do a review on the limited model I’ve decided to go with that because it does what I need all the full size trucks are overpriced
Stay tuned Kirby!
The new Nissan Frontier is designed for the V-6. The Tacoma will soon go to a turbo inline four-cylinder engine. Just as good, they claim. Get a V-6 Tacoma while you still can.
ONE DAY THIS WILL BE MINES
The circular vents are so 2002 LOL
They are making a comeback.
@@RaitisRides so are drum brakes LOL :)
Cyber trucks more cheaper and better! Getting one
that power to weight ratio is disappointing
Oh man that’s a sexy stinger my guy
@@Brop3z thank you
Good 🌅☕love you're 🎥's how u go thru everything and wat u don't really like ZONK IT have a RAV4 thinking bout the "Taco"Tacoma and the skittles🤭
Thanks for letting me share this one with you Kyle.
Anytime
I love it . That is just my opinion
I am glad you are liking this Tacoma.
