Thanks for great review, I also ordered iforceMax TRD off road with premium package with some accessories in Bronze Oxide! Can't wait to get it!
Congrats! The waiting is the worst part right? Thanks you very much watching.
Great video. I picked up my 24 Sport premium this weekend and looking forward to new wheels/tires.
Sweet congratulations and thank you for watching and commenting!
Great review Thank You - still waiting to buy a limited ! Hoping there are not too many 1st year issues thats why i am holding out
Thanks I appreciate the comment and view! If you have the time to wait I think that's just fine, I hope there are not very many issues either!
I test drove the Limited a few days ago and wow , what a nice truck ! Waiting for summer/fall to get one
I think you'll love it! Thanks for watching!
Good review. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Love the info. We have the same truck so we think alike! Only difference is I used iPhone and CarPlay has been good once you realize the volume for CarPlay and the audio system are separate. No issues connecting when I start the truck. Also have not used the digital key at all. I thought I would but I just haven’t. I just hit 1000 miles and have only driver her hard once. She can definitely get up to expressway speeds quickly! I agree with your likes & issues!
Thanks I appreciate that and it's good to hear the CarPlay side too. I figured it had to be something like that. When people were saying they had to crank the volume all the way up to hear anything I was thinking they were either deaf or there was an easy fix. Thanks for watching!
I have a 24 TRD OR Premium, already put 5k miles on it. Love it!
Awesome glad you're enjoying it. What color did you get? Thanks for watching!
@@BenInBeta Got the all black on black
Sweet! Not to plug too much, but if you haven't done paint protection check out my DIYDetail video, and help keep it looking great for a long time.
Good review Ben. It's not the truck for me, but I'm a bit old school. I think like you that the wallet key is a much better option than the digital key.
Thanks for watching Duggy, I appreciate it. Luckily, there are a lot of vehicles to choose from right?
Have you tried setting a driver profile to save settings on the dash? Like you would for seat settings memory?
Thanks for the comment and watching. Yeah I have a profile and it doesn't seem to fix the gauge cluster issue and the Taco doesn't do seat memory unfortunately.
I like your real-world review. I plan to buy a Tacoma but probably not until this winter. It will be a manual transmission version, either TRD Off-Road or just the SR. Either way I would soon upgrade the tires for better all-terrains, and I could add skid plates on the SR, so not sure the Off-Road is worth an extra 5,000. I would not use subscription services and probably wouldn't even use the wallet key since I must carry a house key and a key for our other vehicle anyway.
Thanks for watching and the comment. That makes sense. The skid plates are composite on the off-road too just FYI.
When are you making a vid on the ibex?
I'm working on the edits and it should be out this weekend!
Awesome truck but I have concerns/questions about the long term reliability of the turbo and the price increase. I wonder if Toyota did a major price increase to deal/pay with all the warranty issues these trucks are having based on other YT video/forums experiences. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
That for watching and the comment. Yes with every new vehicle launch you never know about some of those things. I'm less concerned about the turbo than many others. That technology has come a very long way, but if we keep the vehicle long enough, it'll need to be replaced. We know that and we'll account for that cost.
Great video. I live in a rainy climate and mud everywhere. I wonder how the Good Year Mud terrain or All terrain tires will feel on these stock TRD wheels? What do you recommend?
Hi Marvin thanks for watching I actually have a video on the Falken wildpeak at4ws I switched them out the first week after I got the truck and I have a comparison video of how they performed in the snow which is obviously not mud but they feel great in the truck they are stock size. And while we weren't out in super muddy conditions with all the snow melts here recently I thought they performed quite well on the trails and they're great on the road.
Thank you for your reply. I will definitely watch your video that you mentioned. I’m very interested and I’m looking for the best choices.
Thanks for the reviews. I'm in Lakewood and I picked mine up April 5th. It's better in every way than the 2018 OR before.
Wondering if you are running 85 or 87 oct gas? I've only used 85 and everything seems fine
I used both depending on where I get gas. I haven't really noticed much difference. Thanks for watching!
Regarding the customized gauge cluster, is it possible that the truck will only retain those settings when using the KeyFOB?
It's possible, but it retains all of the other settings. Other people have had the same issue according to the forums. I'll see if I can dig anything up there. Thanks for watching!
Great Video. I agree with the majority of you likes and dislikes. Hopefully some of the software issues can be remedied with future updates. I can't get the digital key to work at all. Not awesome
Gas tank reading is super frustrating. I'm getting 21-22 but taking it slow in the city..
Did you keep your stock tires?
Thanks for the reply Jason. I kept the stock size, but purchased Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws and sold the stock tires to offset that cost. I just filled up today and the math calculations were about 17.3 and the truck was saying 15.2. Not that I've reset everything we'll see what I get.
@@BenInBeta I'll be interested to see mpg after reset. If you still have stock tire I may be interested in buying them from you . LMK, Thanks!
As soon as I reset it it's now up to 17.2 after a few miles around town. I'd sell them to you, but they're already gone.
Interested to see if they increase gas tank size for next year.. Seems way to small for me, especially if overland and pulling small trailer. Love the gas tank size in my 2008 4Runner Limited.. Easily goes 400+ without fillup.. Will be waiting to see what Trailhunters are like but have heard some definite negatives for overlanding with TH (like dont go through water). Probably going to wait til the 25s are out and things calm down a bit.. 4Runner still going strong..
@@billcampbell8426 Yep it's pretty small. The new 4Runners will be out next year too and maybe those will have a larger gas tank? After I filled up this morning, reset the computer mileage info and drove for a maybe like 10 miles it was over 17 with a high around 18.2. So at least that part improved. My calculations on the first tank were 17.6 while the truck showed 15.2. I'm not sure why you couldn't drive through water in the TH model though. The battery is under the rear seat so as long as the cabin isn't getting wet I think you'd be fine. I know Toyota has been careful to call it a high desert intake and not a snorkel, but if you don't drive through a river over the hood, I think you'll be ok.
What's your opinion about the new coil suspension in the rear versus the leaf spring, is there a huge difference
I thought that the 3rd Gen road pretty well on the road and off. That being said the rear end dances around a bit less on rough roads and the ride is great in the 4th Gen. My wife has back issues, pretty major ones and even on the trails she was impressed by the comfort of the ride. Thanks for watching. I'll do an update soon and include the ride quality as part of that.
I like your wallet. Do you have a link or can you tell us what the brand/model is?
Thanks, it's a Peak Design Wallet that should work with Magsafe or their case that also has a magnet built in. I have a Pixel and it works very well with the case for that, but you can just use it as a wallet too. www.peakdesign.com/products/mobile-wallet
Everything looks great for now! Love the looks and all the tech, BUT don't love the new price! Here in Canada its more than 12 grand more than my TRD OR prem. crazy! Priced me out of market!
Yeah they're expensive. What's even crazier are the new Jeeps. They have a 2 door for $64k Prices are very high for sure. Thanks for watching!
Bring back the 6 cylinder and make them in Texas again.since they are now made in Mexico and labor is cheaper,the price should not have went up so much
I’ve had my trd off road premium package for a month now and no issues yet with 1800 miles right now, only thing I don’t like is the turning radius is a lot worse than the 3rd gen
Thanks for watching, and yes I have had to do a few 3 point turns for sure!🤣
What size tire did you put on?
Stock Size 265/70/R17
Can you elaborate on what you meant by ‘fake sound’?
Sure, inside the vehicle you hear kind of a lower note to the engine and exhaust while you're driving, but that's not what somebody in the outside of the vehicle would hear. It sounds like a 4-cylinder and at low speeds, even like a diesel. Basically they're pumping some fake sound in to make the engine sound a little bit More bassy and full. Almost like a V6 turbocharged engine might sound
@@BenInBetafake sound is that on all new tacomas or just certain packages?
I drive an SR5 and that didn't have it, I believe it's only on the premium packages and trims. That would include limited, pro and Trialhunter.
Some of the issues you're having are why I'm not in a rush to trade in my 21 . I want some bugs worked out first
That 100% makes sense, if we'd already had a truck, I don't think we'd be buying right now either. Thanks for watching!
@BenInBeta one thing I laughed at was at the end when she said it was too big....all Tacoma owners wish they were bigger .... Interior wise anyway lol , i wish toyota made the back seat area 6 inches bigger
Yeah she doesn't drive very much, and our Tucson was definitely smaller overall. But she'll get used to it. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I work at a Toyota dealership, and sadly enough I can’t find any information about the credit card key for the new Tacoma. I know you mentioned that your Tacoma came with it. You have the premium package, while I had to settle for the TRD Off-Road upgrade package since we haven’t received any allocations for the premium models yet. Have you heard if all Tacoma models are supposed to get the credit card key for free, or is it only free with the premium package?
First, thanks for watching Rodney. Every Tacoma should come with the wallet key from my understanding. I think a couple of people had to ask about it at delivery and one person found theirs in the seat back of the truck. So you should get one!
@@BenInBeta thanks for the response. I’ll keep looking for mine. 👍
Mine came with one. Sounds like we have the same model.
@@user-fx2mn4tz1l thanks for reaching out. It’s crazy that I can’t find anyone at Toyota that knows for sure. I appreciate you reconfirming what I thought I already knew. 👍
Another suggestion for you Rodney. Join the pickup truck plus SUV talk forums and ask Tim to reach out to his contacts at Toyota corporate. They can confirm and maybe even help in the process?
Can you turn off the adaptive cruise mode? I don't like the anti steering and braking 2024 TRD Tacoma
Yes, those features can be turned off in the driver's display. Thanks for the question and for watching.
Toyota tends to underrate towing and payload compared to other manufactures doubt this is too if a big deal.
That may be true, but by how much? I don't want parts to fail because I didn't know where the limits were.
@@BenInBeta the Tacoma was never intended for heavy towing applications. If you are that concerned about the payload upgrade to heavier struts/springs with an overland lift and never look back.
I feel sorry for you when that turbo blows up out of warranty.
That engine costs $24,800 to replace. And can only be done by toyota.
Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it.
You lose roughly 3-5% milage per 1000 feet so you could be losing 15-25% at 6000 feet.
Potentially, but TFL has been hitting the road numbers too and they're pretty close to the same elevation. So we see.
@BenInBeta it's a fact that you lose 30% horsepower at mile high elevation, you can't trick physics. Point being the fact your getting that milage is impressive. Cone take a drive at sea level and you will see a noticeable increase in power and milage.
Yes, I totally understand that, but I'm just saying that others have reported getting EPA numbers even in the 🏔️ s. We definitely got better mileage in our previous vehicle at sea level. I do think the turbocharger helps in that department some too. Not arguing, just trying to compare as close to others as I can.
Too many bad designs. I currently own a 3rd Gen and was considering upgrading to a 2024 but changed my mind after sitting inside. The cabin feels very claustrophobic especially below the knee area.
The engineer who decided this must be a midget. They decreased the left and right knee area to increase the center console. Very noticeable on the passenger side if you sit centered in your seat, your left leg is going to rest or rub the center stack and there is zero room to move your left foot which will rest on a slight hump of the center stack.
On the driver side it's a bit better but you also lose some side to side and have less room for your right leg to move around on a long drive.
Also all the buttons next to the cup holders is a bad design. Think about how many times something has slipped out of your hand or you're trying to place your heavy Yeti cup in that cup holder, missing and depressing one of the buttons by accident and trying to figure out which button got depressed by accident at 75 MPH in traffic. That's an accident by itself waiting to happen.
Back seat leg room is still disappointing. The interior of this 4th Gen should have been a bit larger. The engineer mentioned that the 4th Gen was kept the same length so that it can fit in the garage but failed to understand that 84% of them don't park in the garage.
Thanks for watching. A lot of that is definitely personal. I felt kinda the opposite with pretty much all of that. The seating position is far better for me and I don't feel like I need more room, but again it's subjective. I also like the placement of the buttons and dials. They've been super easy to use without really needing to look. You can always spill something, but I'll let you know if that ever is an issue or not. It sounds like you love your 3rd Gen and that's a great truck too!
