Buying a truck without a hitch would be almost as bad as buying one without cruise control.
😂😂😂
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂 damn bro
I’m amazed that Nathan didn’t say that when Andre mentioned having to have a hitch.
Better to go without cruise control than a hitch! Most manual transmission trucks always lacked cruise control. But no hitch means No Towing! Which you could have just gotten a cheaper car!
This week I got to test drive a new TRD Sport Tacoma at my local dealer. It had just about every option and stickered at just over $53k. Here are some of the things i noticed...
Pros:
- The interior build quality, a known sore spot for most midsize trucks, feels and sounds very solid in most areas
- The large touchscreen is well integrated and doesn't feel tacked on, or obstruct the driver's view of the road
- The bed is very deep and has useful integrated storage and plug-in options
- The ability to lower and raise the tailgate with a touch of the tail-light button on EITHER side is awesome
- Cruise control buttons are on the steering wheel, not a stock, and are easy to use
- The front cupholders are East and West orientated, no reaching over the shifter to grab your beverage. Yay!
- Physical climate and lighting controls. Yay
- Great power, although it is buried deep in the pedal. Toyota definitely wants you to drive this thing like an elderly person.
- Decent door pocket storage! Unlike the GM twins which have next to none...
- Good storage under the rear seats
- Wide-opening glovebox
- Front tow hooks. Yay!
- Fold down rear seats
- Adjustable projector headlights
- Power rear sliding window (some competitors are manual only)
- Power seat controls, including lumbar, on both front seats is awesome
- Finally, plenty of headroom! At last my 6'3" frame can fit in a Tacoma!
Cons:
- You really do have to bury your foot in the gas pedal if you want to get anywhere anytime soon...
- The door pockets are very thin and flimsy, just like the Tundra
- Speaking of the Tundra, there is no place to put your foot on the bumper when the tailgate is down (the Frontier also fails here)
- The 4wd shifter absolutely DIGS into my leg. Lowering the seat helps, but puts me in the same awkward seating position of the last gen Taco
- Partly because of this, I could not find a comfortable seating position. My 15 minute test drive left me aching and sore.
- No fold down rear cup holders... I think it is the only one in the class without them!
- No rear climate vents (Frontier and Ranger also lack them, GM twins, Ridgeline, and Gladiator all have them)
- Center console storage is shallow and lackluster. The Frontiers is almost twice as deep!
- Not sure what the point of the complex rear coil suspension is, still rides like a truck. The Frontier rides nicer and smoother on leaf springs...
- Front chin spoiler is ugly, but removing it lowers fuel economy... lose/lose
- Lane centering only works when cruise is on, as far as I can tell
- Speaking of lane centering, the truck absolutely demanded that I have a death-grip on the steering wheel. Anything less would result in warning
- Only 4 solid tie-down points in the bed is tied for worst in class along with the Gladiator
- $53k is insane for a mid-level trim... That's Canyon Denali money! That's nearly Ranger Raptor money!
So it's a $53k underpowered pile of heaping shit
I really really hate this truck. Nissan has the best one right now. It’ll be the most long term reliable midsize out there.
@@rhodesianhunter9360 I definitely agree that the Nissan should be most reliable in the long run, and there's a strong argument to be made that it is the best value in the class. But, objectively speaking, I think the Canyon is the overall best truck in the class right now.
Other than predicted reliability, center console storage, door pocket storage, and class-exclusive bed rails, there's really nothing else that the Frontier does better than the Canyon.
Meanwhile, the Canyon has a bigger touchscreen, a fully digital gauge cluster, a heads up display, more soft touch materials in the cabin, available quilted leather seats, rear air vents, more tie down locations in the bed, rear bumper steps, a storage bin in the tailgate, more towing and hauling capacity, more powerful engine, more fuel efficient, is faster...
@@rhodesianhunter9360nisan very ugly
Overrated junk. Engine blowns as a tow truck. No way Taco bell of trucks ... cheap truck high price.
I must admit I'm confused. I'm a Brit, living in the US, for the last 41 years.This continued discussion, about the difference in 1, or 2 miles per gallon when deciding which truck to purchase. Considering, most Americans, drive at 80mph, on roads with a 55mph speed limit, why do you worry about fuel consumption?
There must be something wrong with my speedometer. Because whenever I’m driving around at the speed limit, everyone else is passing me like I’m standing still!
Cheers from America 😄
Most Americans think the mpg improves the faster you go. That’s true up to maybe 60 mph with today’s tall gearing.
I am pretty sure it’s not true at all at any speed because air resistance is proportional to the SQUARE of the speed not the speed itself. The higher the air resistance the more energy the engine has to exert to move the constant object (truck) forward.
1 MPH speed needs less energy than 2 MPH speed and so on.
It didn't matter back un the 1980's and 1990's when gas was below $1.50/gallon. But does today when gas is above $3/gallon and had been $4+/gallon.
Futher to my previous comment. I bought a new, Off road 4runner, at the beginning of January. I like the old, proven reliability aspect of this model. I learned to drive in England, in 1959, stick shift. I'm Old school, I drive the speed limit these days. I'm handicapped so, I don't drive much anymore. I believe in a break in period for new vehicles. I've only driven 600 miles since purchase in January, I'm averaging 21 mpg, so, I believe, watching ones speed does save fuel. I will be having my first oil change at 1,000 miles, even though I've had to argue with service managers, in recent years, that it's no longer necessary.
I'm surprised nobody makes those side steps on sprung hinges so they can flip up if you hit them.
Good video, but would like to remind Nathan that most of us 3rd generation Tacoma owners really love our trucks.
What does he know he buys Hyundai 🤔 whatever that vehicle he has😮
😆😆
Didn't love the trans on mine.
@@whodey59is it a 3g or 3.5g?
@@marcJoel 2017 TRD Sport. Worst trans I have ever had in a vehicle. Did all the software updates and still was constantly searching for gears going uphill. And engine was underpowered. Amazes me the Tacoma cult following.
I’m so glad you guys are professional…down to earth and you get to the heart of the matter. You’re helping me in a choice. The very best in your business ❤
Superb job, thanks for all the detail on the new truck. You are the best youtube channel for the new Tacoma. Well done!
You'll NEVER Convince people that know about trucks, a small motor with a turbo or a super charger is the way to go!! I'll keep my 21' TRD V6 Allllllllllllll Day... In 3 or 5 yrs these Turbos could be toast, especially if you are towing, Fogettaboutit...
Yup... Your V6 value just went waaaay up!!
You'll never convince people that KNOW trucks that a wimpy little v6 is the way to go, when V8 rule!!
I don't need a FULL Size truck, nor a gas guzzler ya derp!@@garys2157
You guy`s are ALWAYS doing a amazing job...
Frontier and Ridgeline are the only dog friendly ones though. Once the back seat is up you have a flat surface for storage or dogs.
Sorry your wife doesn't fit
Y’all are the best at what you do. Appreciate it all the content!
I love the fact you did a Toyota TRD Off Road to Chevy Trail Boss comparison. Two top choices I've been looking at.
How many times do you go off road . Get real we need mpg and quality
Then buy a Prius, princess.
We go off-road about once every two weeks. That does not include overlanding, snow/ice driving and basic camping.
@NathanDAdlen ya, another of these commenters that don't live in CO...
@@FRWD_FXLRST😅😅😅😅😅😅
RIP the best gens
Awesome video. But this is to Toyota.
Toyota, as a Tacoma owner and advocate of your brand, I would think you’d make dual zone AC standard for a TRD truck, as well as a vertical sliding rear window like the crewmax Tundra. A regular sliding window at the very bare bones. But had you made all double cabs (crew cab) Tacomas come with that fully opening rear window, and standard dual zone AC, many people would likely feel like the 45 THOUSAND dollars they spend is getting them something. Because they can literally get a LOADED 3rd gen with leather and sunroof for $45k. Idk. A bit of a step back. Know your clientele a bit more.
Great video! Enjoyed the format and content!
Awesome, thank you!
Love the honesty! Why I'm still here
What a nice job you guys do. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great walk around guys!!!
I would like to see a MPG loop comparison with the Colorado.
They already have done the. fuel mileage test on the Tacoma. It was getting 24.2 mpg at 75 mph from Texas to Colorado.
@@wt9653He means the 100 + mile loop they do around the Denver Metro area
@@wt9653 I am aware of that but want to see how it compares to the competition in a controlled test. If you want to get technical, they got 24 mpg from Houston to Dallas.
Andre, the SR has a smaller digital gauge cluster (like 2023 colorado) with 2 digital gauges on the sides of it.
I got Goodyear Territory AT w/Kevlar on my 2023 Tacoma Access Cab TRD Off Road.
I got a 2023 because I like the clamshell doors, naturally aspirated V6 and the long bed. It looks like an inflated version of my Dad’s 1995.5 Tacoma Xtra Cab 4x4 V6 all manual (transmission, windows & locks), both of them black.
Great review guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I keep seeing the comments about 4wd engagement. Haven't had any issues and in 1615 miles since new, I've done about 130 on service roads and ORV parks.
29:16 the radio knob is small and slippery between the fingers which makes it difficult to make adjustments.
My 2017 Tacoma was the same.
I purchased silicone wedding ring that was the perfect size and now it is just a little larger and has more grip. I bought silver to color match my trucks exterior.
What did your significant other think about your polygamist tendencies? 😃
😂😂😂
Married to his Tacoma...
@@is6566 I don't have too much interest in how they think about it. I have a 7 vehicle rotation. If one of the other's don't like it, they get moved down on the rotational priority of driving time.
😃 Seven! Wow are you located in United Arab Emirates or Utah? Getting them all nicely lubed and friction free under the same roof would be almost a full time job for me. 😍
As someone who has been through back problems the handle on the pillars make a big difference getting in and out of a truck. The overhead handles suck and grabbing the steering wheel doesn't help you releive pressure off the back. I've seen some of these midsize offer the heavy duty handles for passenger and rear but not driver which makes no sense unless they are trying to prohibit a blind spot.
It doesn't add to the blind spots at all though. The 3rd gens have an aftermarket solution that adds a grab handle there. I think their theory is probably that it was pointless since you have a steering wheel there you can grab for the same purpose.
@@RedWingsninetyone The problem is bendiing in to grab a wheel that moves. It seems easy until you have a smushed disc pushing aginst your spinal cord. LoL. With the handle on the pillar you can lift into the vehicle instead of pull yourself in. It was one of the reasons it was easier to get into my F250 versus one of our suv. Even without the injury I find it more convenient. I understand they have to justify costs and such.
@@spyder000069 your steering wheel should be locked in place when the vehicle is not running. It should be pretty rare that you're ever getting in with it still running, but everyone is different. I don't disagree about the handle, I just think they thought to save cost when there is a steering wheel right there.
It will be interesting to see if Tacoma sales numbers drop. Great looks but $15000 over priced.
Considering they are only $3k more than last gens, which were a sales leader, I suspect they'll do fine.
That fuel gauge might be a Toyota fuel pump thing. My Corolla did the same thing. I changed the fuel pump, just the pump, and now it works all the time. I used the original housing and level, but somehow it works fine now. I guess I knocked it while removing or taking the assembly apart that it doesn't hang up on full anymore.
The fuel tank is probably wider at the top and VERY narrow towards the bottom. SO the float goes down slowly for the top “half” and quickly at the bottom.
Awsome pod cast!
Thanks!
so when do you do aftermarket steps? Will you do a City only MPG test AND talk about the fact that they shrunk the fuel tank - meaning does it actually go farther then the previous gen which had a bigger tank.
To the Toyota guys that cut down my Colorado Trail Boss interior ,,,,these Tacoma interior buttons, 4x4 dial, touchscreen, LOOKS LIKE FISHER PRICE, 🤯
Some one has hurt wittle feelings 😂
Maybe compare your truck to the more premium versions like the TRD Pro and Trail Hunter. 14-inch touchscreen display looks a lot better obvoisly than this one. Interior obviosly is gonna be better on the higher trims as well.
How does the base audio system sound? No reviews giving info on this. JBL reviews are hot and cold but how about the base?
Great review as always. Really looking forward to when y’all get your hands on a fully loaded hybrid version.
Gotta admit the price tag has me a bit worried as I look forward to the new 4Runner.
45,300. Tiny bed and marketed as off road. The tires are rated 600 A, A. Long lasting rating and great temp and traction ratings (highway tire). New engine design so reliability still in question. Payload is tiny. For that money I see a full size truck as a better short and long term option...Mileage on this truck is almost identical to my F150, 5.0 liter!
That engine it's already proven in other markets.
toyota has problems with the turbo@@makatron
@@billw8476 I'll dig into that, gotta be super sure before you fork out your money for an already overpriced truck.
Where does it end though? People with Superduty trucks will say the exact same thing about your half ton.. not everyone needs 12k lbs of towing or a vehicle that huge for daily driving. Not saying you're wrong about it being less capable but if I was truck shopping I would likely still get a Taco (with the hybrid) over a Tundra, simply because I don't need a truck the size of a small neighborhood, even if it can haul/tow better... if you live in big open country, I'm sure it makes way more sense, but for anyone living in dense cities, a huge truck is a giant pain in the ass to drive and weave through city streets, traffic, parking lots etc
Toyota had a 4 cup turbo in the 80s in 4 wheel drives 😂
I bought a Redarc brake controller for my Tacoma which integrated nicely on the dash
I have those same sidesteps on my Tundra. The side edges are a lot sharper than yours. When you get out of the cab you seem to slid out and your ankle catches the edge and can draw some blood. The good news it only happens once to each person.
It’s funny I also have those side steps, I’m only 5’ tall so I use them when getting out. But everyoneeeee else hates them for your reason 🤣
Love this team; more please.
That annoying gas gauge issue is done on purpose by manufacturers. Once you refill they don't want the gauge to go down right away so you don't feel like it's a gas hog. They also have it read as empty when there's a couple of gallons left for reserve. So since there's a few gallons missing from the gauge at each end that means that the gauge will drop quickly when it does. This is designed by the same people who set their clocks 10 minutes ahead so they're not late.
I wish they would only do the reserve thing and not the full tank thing.
My 2020 Colorado Z71 with V6, best was 8.5 km per 100km, so 27 per gallon.. with a tail wind. Usually 9.2. Towing 16 foot boat and motor , loaded with gear,14.5 per in central Canada.
Looks like a great 1st year of the new generation. Plenty of room for improvement but still a solid step forward from the last one. Toyota is moving in a nice direction, looking forward to what's next from them.
I was really looking forward to the new taco. I have a 2020 tacoma TRD off-road that I tow a 20ft travel trailer with a lot and take to Moab. I was really looking forward to the additional power and better performance of the over all powertrain. Which it sounds like it had but the smaller gas tank is a killer. I was already limited in the 3rd gen, 18 gal just won't cut it when towing. And what is with a 45K truck not having power seats? I hate the engine transmission combo in my 3rd gen but I am starting to question if the 4 gen is in the cards or not for me.
Such a great truck. I think Toyota almost nailed it. Wish they had added a couple inches of legroom in front or back, the Colorado has better combined legroom by a decent margin. And I wish there was a factory option to remove storage bin things under rear seats for a more flat floor.
👌
Great Review...it's entertaining, too
My 5th Gen Colorado had a tow rating of 7000 pounds. It was the worst truck I ever pulled my camper with. Camper was 3560 pounds. I hated that truck in so many ways, not just towing. Was so glad when I traded that truck in and went back to a full size.
I'm hoping you guys do an off road test between this and Andre's TrailBoss !
Being in the market for a 2024 midsize truck, I'm leaning toward the Nissan Frontier with the v-6. I don't really like the inline four cylinder turbo engines. I have never seen a gas turbo engine go more than 150,000 miles without some kind of turbo related problem. These trucks will all be well past their powertrain warranties when these problems start happening.
My 2024 Frontier is awesome. V6, 310 hp, more torque than this Taco.
Less expensive and will be running years after this turbo beaks down.
@@whodey59wrong less torque. Since when does 280 beat 317? You are talking about horsepower. In truck HP means nothing with no torque. Think about those dinky hondas in the 90s. 100 hp per liter yes but makes only 100 lbft of torque lol. Put two people in the car and its slower than a geo metro
@beexiong2995 Yep. Frontier has less torque because of the Taco's turbo.
My mistake.
More than 3rd gen Tacoma.
My Frontier is def quicker than my 3rd gen Tacoma was, but probably not quicker than the 4th gen.
The deal breaker is the price. My local Toyota dealer has 32 on the way 2024 tacomas. Of those 32, 16 are over 50k, 15 are priced 42k to 50k, and only one is under 40 at 37k.
Ouch Considering I paid $36,800 for 2016 F150 XLT FX4 back in Dec 2016
Welcome to 2024. None of them are cheap. A friggin Ram Big Horn is $72K!
Thats a great deal bro! I got the 2020 taco trd OR and the cheapest ford i could find was 42000 with 98000 miles.@@stevesafety6743
With inflation that's close to 50k@@stevesafety6743
They are overpriced.
I believe the Trailhunter has the exhaust exit tucked up above the rear axle. I don’t know why Toyota didn’t do that on the TRD Offroad. I agree about the steps too. I don’t know why Toyota insists on adding those to their Offroad versions of the 4Runner and Tacoma.
“YOU GUYS CHEAPED OUT” is def’ what i’d say when it comes to this truck lmao
I'm here for the humor and had to wait to the end of the video to get it, but worth it...
Is the bed any bigger inside (sides height)than the 2023? So glad to see Totoyta added the tow hook's. One if the reason's I didn't buy the 2024 Tundra. I used my Trail boss tow hooks 4 times the other day in a snow storm pulling other vehicles out.
24 bed is deeper than the 23
Be nice to get the engineer on the show to have him explain the issues and missing features to see his reaction. Our Honda CRV has a 14gal tank
It would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of the "mid-range" TRD Sport & Off-Road models, Gen 3 vs. 2024. Toyota seems to have removed standard trim items from each and forced buyers to pay for additional trim packages to gain lost items.
They did!
Which video? Thx in advance.@@timalan7406
I believe that box under the rear seat passenger side is for the cooling fan when it is a hybrid
Hey Andre...ITS NOT MISSING CRUISE ! LOL.
I barely use cruise. On Toys the transmission downshifts if the speed falls .00001 mph below the set point. How hard is it to push the accelerator? It keeps you more alert.
Nice truck look not every truck going to be perfect. Looking at getting one in middle of the year after all the kinks worked out but in a manual transmission been talking to my local dealership about it. The 4x4 For around $40,000
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support!
I'm disappointed because my tacoma was supposed to be 46k and now toyota has raised its price to 49k
The issues are actually minor ones which owners can modify them by themselves. Something that we can't modify is major issues. I'm going to order one once iforceMax version comes out!
My 2023 Toyota Tundra base SR has soft upper door sill trim, the rear doors (Crew Max) is hard plastics though. The new Tacoma interior is a step backwards, drivetrain is too new to see if there are any major problems.......The more I look at the midsize line up and the new models coming out, the more I like the Frontier.
The drivetrain is pretty reliable so far. It's already been running in the Lexus NX and Highlander since 2021. We just have to see how reliable it is with constant towing. I wouldn't be super worried seeing how it has to replace the much loved and indestructible 2gr V6.
For a midsize with a 6ft bed on paper I’d go for the Taco over the Frontier (my opinion). When talking standard 5ft bed you’d have to do your homework on the competition, great options out there.
If you want a 6 foot bed that fits in your garage, the 2924 Frontier king cab is an awesome choice. V6 too.
Thank you for another indepth review! I do have a request, would you be interested in adding a rear-facing carseat fit test to your truck interior reviews? I'm currently shopping between the Tacoma, Colorado, and Ranger, and a big selling point for me would be if a rear-facing car seat would fit in the second row and how it fits. Some of my peers are also truck owners and rear-facing carseat fitment is a significant selling point. Thanks!
No mid-sized truck is perfect.
But considering the Taco cost, no V6, low hp, low payload, not made in the US....I'm very happy I bought a new Frontier.
New Tacoma is all hype, good thing Toyota is great at marketing and screwing the loyal enthusiasts
Your frontier has worse payload and power downlow where it matters in a heavy pickup
@beexiong2995 both trucks have pretty low payload for a mid-sized, but mine cost $5,000 less.
Plus not a fan of turbo 4 cylinder engines in a truck. Time will tell I guess.
I also own Frontier and am very happy with my truck.
@beexiong2995 These aren't heavy pick -ups.
And today's truck buyers seem to rather have a back seat for the kiddies than a 6 ft bed for payload.
So i notice the Hi-low jack catch in the back of the vehicle, but what happens when you are carrying your hi-low and want to jack up the front? Its an awfully big thing to only use on one side of the vechicle... Was there a jack point on the front also? Looks like a nice ride! The missing V6 seems like a not so good point, but your use tests seem to indicate not a big miss... Nice review!
Also, I had a 2016 Tacoma when it first came out and nearly had to declare a lemon law on it. There will be bugs!
Hopefully, most likely you’ll be able to use the Trail Hunter mid pipe dump on these.
Im super eager to see what kind of efficiency the Hybrid version will get driving on highways around 70mph if this one is already getting 23/24 at higher elevations and on winter gas. Im thinking it will be close to what the Landcruiser Prado is supposedly targeting (27mpg) which for a body on frame truck, is pretty dam good all things considered (it has more torque than the V8 Tundra did)
Don't expect much. If it is like the Tundra, the hybrid system is not for MPG as much as added power and reducing emissions by helping you accelerate.
When you top off the gas tank how many miles the truck can drive until it needs to refill the gas again when the fuel meter shows ends, the reason I want to know is on the video you said the fuel meter is not accurate
Not that it's inaccurate, just that it is still showing full even though they've driven lots of miles. As someone said, probably just the way the tank is shaped, moves down slow at top, faster toward the bottom. Minor quibble, all anyone looks at anymore is miles til empty.
Seems like a great truck but glad I decided to get a 2023 Colorado ZR2 to go along (not replace) my 2019 Tacoma. Best of both worlds. I just don't see the value in a new Tacoma. I would be in for over 60K for something even closely equipped to the ZR2 and that's before the dealer markups on something like a Pro or a loaded TRD Offroad.
I wonder if the gauge bar could be adjusted with a software update
Sweeeeeeet!! Looks beautiful 🔥
Andre... Stop being so afraid to say anything.... controversial or negative about the trucks you review
Are the rear doors/seats narrower then the 2023?
These are cool trucks but now way it can replace my diesel rubicon gladiator. Would like to see a TRD pro with all the options and see what kind of tire you can actually get on them. Didnt have to modify the fenders at all to fit 37s on the gladiator.
Crazy that it's 45k and you still get cloth seats. I was looking at the configurator and the only way to get pleather is to pay an extra 8k. I really wish there was an option to add pleather or even vinyl as a standalone option. I would love to buy a 4x4 SR with vinyl seats since I really don't need any of the higher trim level features but I hate cloth.
Fake leather. Basically just nicer vinyl. Toyota calls it SoftTex.@@is6566
Fake leather. Basically just nice vinyl. Toyota calls theirs Softex.@@is6566
Would like to replace my old Tacoma but absolutely hate having to deal with the dealers.
Damn right. My last recent purchases has been good though. My local dealers you get yourself approved on the online application. You dont need to go in and wait anymore except to sign your sales contract and pickup your vehicle. I bought a 2020 GR Supra from home. When I was approved and happy with my payment, I went to sign and pickup the car.
How does the power compare to the outgoing Ranger?
I have a 4runner and the arm rest by the handle on the door is too low, and the arm rest ledge by the window it's too high. If the arm rest were half way between the two it would be just right. I suspect the Tacoma will be the same.
That blue looks great.
My old Sierra did that with the fuel gauge. The first 1/4 tank would get as many miles as the last 3/4.
I have a 2016 Tacoma TRD and the KBB is 24-26k for trade in. But I don’t think my next truck will be a Tacoma.
I can’t get over the 4 cylinder turbo
What is the Tow Capacity of the Off Road Manual
Nice that is does not have a bunch of unnecessary features. Keep it simple.
To ALL mid size truck manufacturers: why is the back seat area in 4 door truck still so dang small? Its 2024! When you $40-$50k on a mid size truck and you get mad about the lack of room behind the front seat and you might as well have saved about $3K-$4K and bought an ext cab. And thanks to the folks who still make a ext cab option.
interesting that the 2024 Tacoma XtraCab no longer has rear access doors. I know some people will not be happy with that...
less choice and pay more money!! that is the new motto. it is sad.@@devildog5354
Back seats in a mid sized truck has always been pretty worthless unless you are driving the kiddies to soccer practice. Buy a full sized truck or get a SUV.
@@whodey59 or a unibody truck lol
@devildog5354 yea....that is pretty weird having to fold down the front seats to get to the storage.
I love my conventional king cab Frontier with the 6' bed.
It's a nice truck for a first time tacoma owner but if you have a nice 3rd gen no point trading in for this. Its crazy you guys got a basic off-road trim tacoma for $50k out the door. The prices are ridiculous now for a tacoma. If i get rid of my 2023 3rd gen I'll just get a full size truck
I had a 1st gen, drove a 2nd gen, and owned 2 3rd gens. The 3rd gen felt the weakest and had the worst transmission. For the 3.5 V6, I got full size truck mpg. This truck is a huge upgrade. Talking about the 4 cyl turbo, most buyers dont even work on their own engines. They wont know what they are missing
I think I would miss the tailgate storage that comes with the Colorado and Canyon. I am surprised how much I use it.
This one has a storage bin built into the bed side.
Anyone know how deep of water the Tacoma trail hunter can handle since it's hybrid
Who puts the temp control knob to the left of the blower speed knob?
Never thought about it. Does it really matter?
@@Dusdaddy Just an observation. Does it matter? No. Is it different than every vehicle I can remember being in? Yes.
@@number40Fan good observation. I've never really noticed that it was common the other way, interesting
BLUEBERRY! I had an awesome time very enjoyable.
Walk around is much better than people just talking into mics.
dang that blue looks great.
😀
Thanks for the video, much appreciated.
To be honest, the interior looks cheap - the dash board, display monitor (looks like a very old iPad = hug bezels) & the digital odometer. The 3rd Gen is more refined. I agree with the metal steps, they get caught on everything.
That would’ve been sick on the Trd models. If they had the exhaust coming out the side rocker panels, dual tipped dual exhaust on each side would have been sick.
The Trailhunter just ends somewhere in front of the spare and just points down. Probably going to be a popular mod.
37:09 The Gladiator lets you use all of that storage space.. And the old 2016 Tacoma that LLOD has does as well, because I remember watching the video about his truck and he showed it.
I dunno what they have there. The hybrids have the battery there. Thankfully it seems like Goose-Gear still makes seat delete for the Tundra Hybrid and it goes over the battery. Hopefully will be the same for 2024 iForce Max Tacoma as well.
Andrea is never going to live down the fact he missed getting cruise control on his Colorado.
How come we don’t have trucks that have the normal part-time four-wheel-drive but then when your off of that it goes into an all-wheel-drive versus just a basic 2 Wheel Dr. always ask that question. I never got a clear answer.
I guess I'm not understanding. Did you make concessions to the truck you would have bought because you wanted to have one of the first ones?
Yes, they would have just got a fully loaded TRD PRO with all the options to show off/test but then they would be waiting another 4-6 months to release any content, and if you want to maximize your views/clicks you have to be the 1st few channels to show this stuff off. Same thing they did with the Tundra they bought 2 years ago
All the gauge stuff in a vehicle, I perfect a simple, traditional analog gauge. Don't like digital ones. Especially for the fuel gauge. I never choose to trust fully digital ones.
I must be lucky I’m regularly between 24-26 mpg on the hwy in my 21 Tacoma 3.5.
