Nice! Cannot unsee chrome bezel now that you pointed it out...headlight swap would be awesome too but I guarantee that they cost more than the $495 listed...if I had to guess I bet those headlights are $1300 each!...100% agree, 2020 tails are gross.
I got the 2020 Tacoma Sport 4x4 and I freakin' love it ... even though there isn't much change, but they did put in a better suspension to handle bumps.
There is also an advanced tech package that adds Multi Terrain Monitor, and that is a big reason I'm getting the 2020. Well that and the new Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Yep, my 2020 O/R MT has the old lights. A lot of them do. Couldn't find a manual with LED's. Only option I'm missing. They're hard to find, depending on where you are.
Looks awesome in that Voodoo Blue! Too bad in Canada the LED headlights aren’t even an option on the TRD OR or Sport... waiting for 2021 for that reason alone
Another Canadian here and I'm doing the same ... while I'm happy to see some incremental upgrades to the 2020 Tacoma (and 4Runner even), I suspect more will come in 2021-2022 since the midsize market is getting super hot right now. It's going to come down to the small details (and pricing) that will win people over. I'll probably look at trading in my full size pickup for a Tacoma in 2021-22.
What addon package adds the painted rear bumper? All the 2020s I see online are the stock chrome for the OR..I know the sport comes standard with painted rear bumper but not the OR.
camboteav that’s a part of the sport (and limited I think) package. What you lose however over the off-road is the locking diff, crawl control and bilstein shocks too, but gain the hood scoop and the painted bumpers. I think the advice is that if you’re actually going to go off road, get the OR (and paint the bumpers if that’s what you want).
@@DirtandFire yeah but the blue one is an offroad and it has painted bumpers..what addon package adds that is my question bc I have seen that only as an addon bc offroad standard is chrome.
camboteav you’re right, I don’t know how I missed that, must be a part of the premium package, there’s a scene in the video where I show the sticker, pause and see if you can zoom in on it.
I have a 2019 OR...I wanted the chrome bumper - the OR IS offered with both...the painted bumper comes with the tech PKG (the one with the BSM and the back up warning)...I actually wanted the BSM and the back up monitoring, but I like the chrome look. I know I did not want the sunroof (limits heard room) or the subwoofer (I wanted the extra storage space behind the seat). I'm thrilled with the truck - I've got 41K miles so far (11 months of ownership).
Nice video! Thanks for the comparisons. Supposedly they increased the thickness of the side windows for road noise.....be cool if you could check that.
I think they have fixed that problem. I just bought a 2020 Trd Pro Tacoma because it felt better when shifting. I did not get one before because it felt sluggish to me. This one feels very close to the way my 2012 felt, quick enough. Also, the Tacoma with all the new tech feels a lot more premium than before. This is probably the best Tacoma yet for Toyota.
@dirt&fire How is your truck on the highway? Does it shift a lot between 5th and 6th? I notice my downshifts to 5th on the slightest grade. The truck loses a lot of speed on very small hills and thus downshifts a lot more than it should. Overall makes driving on the highway a nuisance..
Pop the hood, prop it up and carefully brush the backside with a brush like this: amzn.to/2IFwqgs - Might help to get some bug off spray too: amzn.to/2IVa8HR
Awesome, the first song is Nigel Good - Space Cadet, second song is Infected Mushroom - Walking on the moon, third song is Falcon Funk and Bossfight - Comeback. Got them from the Monstercat website.
I have a 2016 Taco Sport. Want the power seats are they in the 2030 Sport also it just the pro? Yes there was a transmission shifting problem. New software update helped. I want less chrome, more black
Very nice review - GREAT job pointing out the differences. I like the new lights , but have no trouble seeing now so it is not something important to me. I have a 2019 OR DCSB AT (Cav Blue) - I actually like my chrome grill - and wanted the chrome bumper as well. I do like the buttons on the radio, but I wish they were larger (I have large hands and often wear gloves).
Dirt & Fire plus I’m of the age (57) where I grew up with chrome on trucks/cars...it’s outdated to some, but to me it remains attractive. Lots of things like that.
@@gsdlvr123 I too don't mind it, but it has to go with the truck, for my color (flat tan) it just looks bad, most other colors (white, black, gray, red, blue), I think it looks great!
Matt L all brands do that. Plus, look at the roads. What midsize truck you see the most. Looks like Toyota is doing it right, even if there adding all the extra $ .
My 2020 has everything except those lights,they are baddass too late for me I like the lights on that blue one ,I guess I’ll change when they go out in couple of years
The Tacoma's seating position was awful before the 2020. I couldn't get comfortable at all in the previous model, but the height adjusting power seat makes all the difference, so it's definitely mot just a luxury item. I passed on the 2019 just because of the terrible seating position. However, the available LED lights, android auto, power seat, front camera, reprogrammed auto transmission, etc. are all features that make it worth opting for the 2020, in my opinion.
99% of the 2020 Tacoma's don't come with the LED headlights and fog lights. I got lucky with mine TRD off-road with LED headlights fog lights Tech package Voodoo Blue $35.1k. I paid $36.7k for the 17 taco.
I feel like you’re trying to undersell the new 2020 because you missed out on it by a few months. When you showed the interior on your 2019 i saw the huge differences
I put LED bulbs in my 3rd gen Tacoma for $50 and it looks just as good. Definitely not worth the price they are asking for. Also, I’m definitely not a fan of the new tail lights.
i own a 2005 sky blue trd pro sr5 or w.e love it only couple of reason i havent bought a new taco is: 1: my still runs n drives like new 2: that new steering wheel is not comfortable you cant put ur hands in the side pocket like 5-7 or 4-8 3: im 6.4 my current truck has like 5inc of head room give or take the new gen with the sunroof mean i can scratch my nose on the roof 4: bring the 4l v6 back my truck with 450,xxx kilometers beats the new tacoma with more hp that bullshit, and we burn the same
Prefer the 2019 chrome grill; looks classier. Fogrt all the eletric tech packs; just more crap to go wrong. I would be looking for 2019 model with a discount if such a Tacoma exists with the demand for it.
The prices just keep rising on these things. I paid $37,000 OTD for my 2018 trd or. Someone on taco world just paid $50,000 for a 2020 trd or premium...
Wat in tarnation, that is crazy. I think I was at 36 and some change for my 2019 TRD off road (non tech/premium) - see my buying tips video for the full breakdown.
I LOVE THE NEW TACOMA'S.......BUT THEY ARE WAY TOO OVERPRICE! DAM, HOW ANYONE AFFORD THESE THINGS!! THEY ARE IN THEY START IN THE $40K'S..........TUNDRA IS THE SAME PRICE!!
YOU WON'T FIND A NICE ONE FOR UNDER $40K. NEED THE TRD PRO OR TRD SPORT............THE SR5 IS JUST PLAIN FUGLY AND OVERPRICE! THE TOP OF THE LINE SHOULDN'T COST MORE THAN $36K PERIOD! IT'S BECAUSE THE SUPPLIES OF THESE TRUCKS ARE SO DEMANDING !
TheWiseGuy the power adjustable seats, Apple CarPlay, and thicker windows to reduce road noise. And not to mention improved transmission and no more gear hunting.
Mueezh Sad how they took long to get power adjustable seats when other brands such as bmw Mercedes have them since 2006! I know their luxury but , please Toyota step it up with the changes. All the other things you said don’t make a difference. Rather buy a gmc Denali if I want to waste that much money on a truck. For now buying a Toyota Tacoma 2015 cash from an auction , to move car parts around.
@@thewiseguy7100 yeah i couldn't agree more, they're just way too slow with rolling out newer tech. But on the other hand, keeping a truck for 500,000 miles is also worth it. Double edged sword
I will say the Tacoma is overrated in my opinion when it comes to quality and driving. I purchased a 2018 Tacoma and overall the truck is nothing special. Overall fit and finish is average to poor. Additionally the driving characteristics of the automatic make dealing with the truck on highway driving a nuisance. The truck constantly shifts between 5th and 6th gear on highway when it approaches the slightest of grades not a true hill by any means; I live along the NJ shore. Additionally, the trucks passenger seat makes so much noice when not occupied as it is constantly shaking, much more than one would expect from ordinary road bumps. Further, interior fit and finish and overall quality of plastic is poor. My wife’s 13’ Mazda 3 has more durable plastic panels than the Tacoma. The truck is sharp to look at along with having an excellent ride comfort topped by great off-road performance but overall it’s not the quality that so many people promise from Toyota. I can say this unbiased as I am a first time Toyota owner. It’s a decent truck but needs quite a bit of work to get it where it should be.

@@DirtandFire ok so ill break it down again so it costs about 1500 bucks to build the car a resonable selling price 10k to 15 max... not 40 grand.. see heres why and i know better i worked for a major car manfacture... they boost profits by upping the cost of the car.. i once saw a customer bring in a old vehicle im talking 15 years old get full price like 15 grand back when it was new 15 years ago.. then. they resold it for 18 grand a 15 year old vehicle with 220 k miles on it... so right there they put what ever price they want and some fool will buy it or they will send it to auction and hope they get their money back or file taxes as a loss.... folks these cars and trucks arent worth 30-50 grand you have the car manfacture and the dealer and the middle men the car sales.. where does it jump up 30000 percent... its all on paper is all its a big ass lie.. and then they get you to add options liek rims and extended warranties .. folks back 30 years ago you could by a vehicle brand new for 10 grand and for 3 grand more full everything.. since then they jumped up prices.. and im talking about a good vechile here.. the mototo its worth what i say it is not what its really worth you dont want it fine we dont care see car companies back then where desperate to sell people knew better.. so they made the cars and trucks what they actually cost..now they dont care because government bails them out theres incentives etc for employees to sell or they will just put it at auction and hope.. so theres no real penalties to make them go back to real costs
Just getting rid of the chrome trim makes the 2020 look way better in my opinion. I hate the use of chrome on trucks...or on any vehicle really. It's outdated.
Do a grill swap!
100% going to. Probably headlights too, the tailights are doo doo.
Nice! Cannot unsee chrome bezel now that you pointed it out...headlight swap would be awesome too but I guarantee that they cost more than the $495 listed...if I had to guess I bet those headlights are $1300 each!...100% agree, 2020 tails are gross.

@@DirtandFire ok so ill break it down again so it costs about 1500 bucks to build the car a resonable selling price 10k to 15 max... not 40 grand.. see heres why and i know better i worked for a major car manfacture... they boost profits by upping the cost of the car.. i once saw a customer bring in a old vehicle im talking 15 years old get full price like 15 grand back when it was new 15 years ago.. then. they resold it for 18 grand a 15 year old vehicle with 220 k miles on it... so right there they put what ever price they want and some fool will buy it or they will send it to auction and hope they get their money back or file taxes as a loss.... folks these cars and trucks arent worth 30-50 grand you have the car manfacture and the dealer and the middle men the car sales.. where does it jump up 30000 percent... its all on paper is all its a big ass lie.. and then they get you to add options liek rims and extended warranties .. folks back 30 years ago you could by a vehicle brand new for 10 grand and for 3 grand more full everything.. since then they jumped up prices.. and im talking about a good vechile here.. the mototo its worth what i say it is not what its really worth you dont want it fine we dont care see car companies back then where desperate to sell people knew better.. so they made the cars and trucks what they actually cost..now they dont care because government bails them out theres incentives etc for employees to sell or they will just put it at auction and hope.. so theres no real penalties to make them go back to real costs

2019 still looks better
Just getting rid of the chrome trim makes the 2020 look way better in my opinion. I hate the use of chrome on trucks...or on any vehicle really. It's outdated.
I don't know, good try at the video,
This guy is really cool. If it were me I could have bitching about everything here...
