- It's been 1 whole year since my first Toyota Tacoma video and from when I purchased it. Let's see how it's held up so far!

My F-150 is way better than your truck. I got a better deal, it doesn't have any problems. You made a mistake.
Finally! It’s been 6 months and nobody’s made that joke! I’m so proud of you.
There’s no coming back from that one
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
You’re happy, what is a mistake! I have nothing negative to say about Toyota, I’ve bought 2 Prius cars in a row, because I didn’t have any negative experience with the first one, after 8 years, and the same thing with my second one! Loved my Dealer, great service, but the Honda Ridgeline fit my needs better for me. I’m happy, you’re happy, where’s the mistake? Is it because we made better choices than other people, and are happy 😃? My money was well spent, that’s what matters!
Your Ford will get maybe 150k and your resale will be shit. Congratulations
I’m 65. I bought my first “new car” as a young Navy Officer, at Colonial Toyota in Virginia Beach in 1985: a 4x4 Toyota SR5 Access Cab Mirage limited edition pickup. I put over 450,000 miles on that truck. Surf fishing, camping, joy riding....got married, had kids, became a federal wildlife officer....that truck was my daily driver....up and down the east coast...Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Island.....like a loyal friend. After a 1.75 roll over, totaled, at 250,000 miles, it was still strong enough that my Toyota dealership body shop, rebuilt her for my insurance check! Sadly, rust cancer took her--and I still sold her for an even grand (a young Sailor wanted to build her into a beach surf fishing rig). Years later....I now own a 2020....TRD OR with 6 speed manual (I still enjoy rowing the gears!!) specced-out to as close as possible as my old SR5.....down to the dark gray and moonroof. Leather and power seats and windows are welcome “old guy” upgrades. This likely, is my last pickup....as I hope she and I will see many years of mountain biking, fly fishing, backpacking, visits with the kids, trips to the lumber yards, hauling mulch and wood (and occasionally the groceries). Great video.....particularly the Magnum PI reference! Bravo-Zulu, sir.....again, an enjoyable video! And I really like that interior in your truck- the tan/orange(?) accents!
G M Andres Wow what an amazing story! First and foremost, thank you for defending our country! I don’t know what color your SR5 was but I always picture the black SR5 from Back to the Future. I’ll have to google your truck! That’s so amazing how well that truck treated you, I’m happy to hear that. Also many people have complimented the orange/tan interior, I’ve found it’s only an option on the newer SR5 models, I love it personally. I hope my truck lasts me that long and I can tell an awesome story like yours. God bless! (And I had hoped that Magnum part would make people smile!)
Based on that little synopsis of your life, it would be awesome to sit down with you and hear some stories!
Thank you for your service
God bless
Brilliant kicktail review & Cut to the chase sharing G M ...
I agree the Tacoma is just enough of a truck I need. Liked the humor.
I just bought a 2013 Tacoma, double cab, pre runner V6 with the 6’ ft bed. Best decision I’ve ever made.
As someone who never thought I'd be looking to buy a truck in a million years, I appreciate your down-to-Earth nature of your videos (and your skit was hilarious by the way). I also like your outlook on prayer ^_^. Thanks for making this and glad you love your Taco!
This was the funniest truck review I’ve watched (and I‘ve watched far too many as I decide whether or not to get a tacoma) and I appreciate all the info! Really appreciate you sharing your faith as well! Gained a sub!
I was really worried Magnum PI joke was gonna fly...But thusfar people really like that little lego Ferrari! Thank you so much! God blessed me with this channel and the free time and ability to do this. I never thought part of my ministry was going to be silly truck reviews but here we are! I do try to be different with the jokes, but that's just who I am as a person and I always strive to be genuine!
You’re awesome man, after watching your first video this morning it made me choose the Tacoma over the Colorado and you’re excitement about you’re new truck helped. Glad to Athens end of the day after purchasing the truck (getting it on Monday) you’re as excited as you were. Will keep watching your channel!
I finally got a Tacoma last week. My first new-ish car, and my first auto loan. 2017 Access Cab 4x4 SR5 in silver. I had a pretty eventful first weekend of ownership. I did some offroading to help my relatives who were hunting carry back their game, then the next day I hauled lumber for fence building. Then I drove ~5 hrs back home. I got a really diverse range of experiences in a short amount of time and I can say the truck is a trooper. It's very capable offroad, it handles heavy loads well relative to it's size class, and it is a comfortable long-distance driver. That combined with the resale value, the looks, and the long-term reliability really makes me really love this truck.
That's awesome dude! I love actually being able to use my truck and help people out even if it is a stereotype to ask truck people for help.
I have an 07 Tacoma v6 4.0 since brand new and it still drives like new with 418,000 miles. Same engine and transmission. No big issues ever. It burns oil about 3/4 of a quart every 5,000 miles when I change the oil, not much. Yours will last a long time! Your kids will definitely get to drive it if you keep it.
Beautiful truck and great content.
Love to see you display your faith. God bless.
Thank you, God bless you for blessing me with this encouraging comment!
I appreciate your content, and especially your overall message. Keep it up.
Thanks so much! I really really appreciate it. :)
Great video. Just picked up a 2021 Tacoma 4x4 with the six speed manual.
How did you like it?
@@chris155987 I love it and feel like it's the only way to drive a vehicle. Especially a truck. Its smooth and easy to drive.
I've already drove my tacoma into the dirt, 230 thousand, 40 thousand towing it's a 2011 2.7 bought as a left over ,you've got 100 thousand trouble free miles ahead then the wheel bearing problems started ,ps I've always ran oversized tires and a heavy bumper, I'm planning on buying another, good luck and thanks
Great video! I have a 2019 Tacoma sport with the 6 foot bed. No problems with it yet. Had it 1 1/2 years with no problems. Smile from ear to ear every time I drive it. Use it mostly for hauling a 10 foot fishing kayak and to get into the back country for skiing here in Northern Utah. Keep up the great work on your videos.
Ken W thank you! I’m the same way, I love driving my truck it’s always a treat.
I've had my 2017 Tacoma a little over year and I'm loving it! Such a joy to drive. Great video, really enjoyed it!
VanNoodle84 thanks Nate!
Mine only shifts sluggishly when the engine is cold, but when warmed up it's buttery smooth. It is geared for fuel efficiency so it tends to short shift, that's what creates that gear finding thing when the truck realizes you want more power then it forces itself to downshift, but that's every car that's geared for efficiency, put it in manual mode and it will high rev all day.
Great job on your video I have the same truck, love my Tacoma. Keep it going on the videos. God-bless
Your a good man, first TY for your prayers. Secondly, really enjoy your videos keep them up brother.
Thanks brother, really appreciate it! And I’m no good man, God’s in my heart and he’s what’s good. I just follow what he says. 😊 I’ll be praying Dave!
Good job on the video. I just got my Tacoma and watched your early work when I researched. The skit stuff is a cool unique thing that you have the talent for so keep doing it, especially since its funny. Keep doing you, the wholesome demeanor works.
renvaza thank you so much! I was wondering how the skit was going to go, it’s split 50/50 at this point. But I enjoy making it and hopefully it makes you guys laugh.
I like your faith in the boss of all bosses. Just purchased a 2023 SR5 4 cylinder. As a 2 wheel drive I love driving it. It's all the speed I desire. I thank God every morning for it . It's the right size for parking . I don't need the Queen Mary or a 747 jumbo jet trying to park it . I like your videos.
I like how you phrased that 'boss of all bosses'
I just discovered your channel with this video and I gotta say.. you’re really underrated. Your efforts stand out. Keep it up man!
Thank you! I’m really trying to make the best content I can! Wait till you see what’s up next, God has blessed me some insane opportunities!
Great video! New sub. This helped a lot as I was tossed between a ram 1500 or a toyota tacoma. Might pull the trigger on the tacoma now. Keep on making good content. Now, who else got that Ryan Reynolds vibe after watching this video?🤣✌🏻✌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Antonio Del Carmen please refer to the “Ram 2500 review” at the 1:30 mark, I address the Ryan Reynolds thing.
Man, really, awesome video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated
Nice video, I'm currently lookin' into a new mini truck and the Taco is up there in my choices...
Those mirror clips? Is there any way to use a car vac, with the crevice tool?
Thank you brother I’m going to buy a Tacoma after your advice
I have a 2010 Tacoma Prerunner with the V-6 4.0. I absolutely love it!
Awesome!
I own a 2016 Colorado and I have a radio possessed too. I am having the same dilemma about replacing the radio or not.
Really expensive to replace a radio on a Colorado! I work with cars at my other job, they’re not fun to replace. But it’s not impossible!
Thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one that enjoys the seat position
Where did you get your color matched bumpers from? I think you had chrome ones previously.
BeardedHonda www.ecoological.com/store/p54/3rd_Gen_Tacoma_BumperShellz_-_Custom_Colors.html
Can you link the lights you got? Headlight fog light and tail lights?
Just stumbled across this ( doing research on trucks even though I'm not really in the market) great video man! Keep it up and keep that winning attitude! Such a genuine character and something I noticed, you have the Shane Mendez smile 😁
Haha thank you very much! I strive to be genuine with everything I do. 😊
To get rid of the rattle form the clips in the door, sine it is in a pocket as you say, is there anyway you can shoot some spray foam down in it the cavity? If so, it will encapsulate those pesky clips when it swells. Just a thought
Yes, for about a year and a half now people have been telling me to do that, I actually haven't needed to because it doesn't rattle anymore.
Thanks for the video. Any reason why you got the short bed and not the long bed? I would think the long bed might be more useful as a work truck?
T Sizzle gonna be honest... purely cosmetic. I liked how the shorter bed looked, I just thought the longer bed made the proportions of the truck look dorkey. And when I found this color combo, it happened to have the shorter bed. I’ll again be honest and say, while certain things I’ve had to make 1 or 2 more trips for, I can handle almost everything fine. Like I mentioned, mulch, wood, couches. It pretty much all fits.
Just wondering, have you tried going to the dealer for the bluetooth issues? Is it possible it's just a one-off head issue? You're still under the comprehensive warranty period, yes?
I have since had it fixed, it appeared to be my phone rather than the Bluetooth!
I am physically able enough to lock and unlock my own tailgate. i don't need buttons and remotes for everything. Life is not convenient, so I'm okay with the little chores of taking care of locking my own tailgate. Great videos by the way!! I love Toyota Trucks.
Richard Killy for me it’s mostly forgetting to lock it! Not so much a convenience thing, I just worry people may steal stuff out of the bed if I forget to lock it at night.
@@AlphaSharkmore like if you forget to lock it and they steal your whole tailgate. I live in a nice neighborhood, but still bought the power tailgate lock kit form my local dealer. It runs around 150 bucks.
I wish that the tailgate would lock with the rest of the truck, too. There is a cheap remedy to prevent someone stealing the entire tailgate. Buy a 1/2” ~ 3/4” hose clamp and open the tailgate about half way. On the right hand side you will notice a slot joint where the tailgate would have to be positioned to remove it. Wrap the hose clamp around that joint and tighten it down. No, it’s not totally burglar proof; but, I doubt someone wanting to steal a tailgate is going to be carrying a screwdriver with them or take the time to take the hose clamp off first.
Alpha Shark Pictures yeah but any thief with two brain cells to rub together can just get up on the bumper and reach in
Great content. Enjoyed the video and thank you
I’m a Muslim and I love the way you talk about religion and prayers. Been watching your videos for a while now, will pray for your success. The way you talk shows you were raised well regardless of which religion you grew up with. Btw my bro has a Tacoma and I love driving it. First pickup truck I’ve driven and I’ll probably get one someday too. Keep up the great videos man 💪🏻💪🏻
Muhammad Kamal I think this comment above others is so impactful. Because God says to love your neighbor as yourself. And I’m so thankful that you can see that I have that love for everyone because I truly believe it’s what Jesus would do. ESPECIALLY now with the whole world divided on a lot of things, it’s nice to know that however small I’m still encouraging people and making them smile. Thanks Muhammad! (Also totally get a Taco it’s definitely worth it)
God is not a religion he is God
This is beautiful. Don't know y'all, but I love both you guys.
Tailgate lock is available in Technology Package for Tacoma.
What brand/type of LED headlights did you use, and are they plug and play?
Yes they are plug and play, I don’t recall the brand but I got them on Amazon for about $40. Mostly I just check Amazon reviews to see how they’re received!
The part i don't agree with you is on the tailgate i like Manuel locking it because if there no power on the truck then how are you gonna open it
The auto power locking tailgate on the Honda Ridgeline has a no-powered keyed bypass on the bottom of the tailgate.
Nice review, man! I’d like to add a Taco to my driveway one day. I was between it and the 4Runner, and I found a 2016 T4R SR5 premium that was the exact color combo I wanted (white/beige) in excellent shape. One of the first mods I did was the white LED reverse bulbs and license plate bulbs. They much improved the visibility in the low resolution backup camera.
Best Tacoma video hands down. Perfect representation of owning a Tacoma
5:30 Purchase a can of spray insulation/foam with the stem attachment. Find the metal pocket and hopefully the foam will encapsulate the metal clip.
Karreil2525 absolutely genius! Thank you so much.
Vacuum and suck it out?
Shannon Andrews I tried! The hole is barely big enough for a penny.
Love this video. I have a 2021 on hold right now. Also I could use your prayers, tough time for sure. Great to see young folks not afraid of their faith!
Will do RedBarron!
What kind of Tonneau Cover do you have on the Tacoma and how do you like it.
It’s the “Truck Sport Truxedo” I LOVE IT! It’s fantastic couldn’t recommend it enough if you want a roll up one.
Can’t even get the clips with a push button parts grabber? Is it too deep for the long ones?
the hole is too tiny! That's the problem, it's smaller than a nickle.
I have a sr Tacoma on order and will be getting it in February 2021. I’m leasing it for $150 a month. I can’t wait to get it. So excited!! My wife and I had gotten the Corona virus and now over it. Please pray for us and praise God for blessing us with our health and for our new car! I love your reviews and thank you so much for the great information.
I will absolutely pray for your guy's continual healing and health! Praise the Lord you overcame the virus! And I know that excitement of waiting on a Tacoma! You'll love it, I'm sure of it!
Any problems with the fuel pump on your 2019 tacoma? Was it a part of the nation wide recall?
It is not yet in the recall!
I have the 2018 TRD OFF ROAD 4X4 and it was recalled 1st for the TSS sensor. In Jan. of 2019 the recall came out for the fuel pump that I’m still (August 2020) trying to be patient with my dealer to replace. So far all I’ve received from them is excuses as to why they don’t have it, yet!
apparently the transmition thing can be adjusted on the computer that tells it when and how to shift
I am ordering my very first Tacoma this Thursday morning. You mentioned the Bluetooth is not that great. As for the 2020 SR5 I will be purchasing, has the Bluetooth issue been corrected? I am hoping, I do not have to buy a new stereo with better Bluetooth for my brand new truck , as soon as I leave the dealer. Thank you.
I have switched phones and I have not had any issues with the Bluetooth. So it appears it was my phone. They also updated the interface during my last visit I believe
@@AlphaShark Sounds good, thank you. In two hours my new Tacoma order will be placed. It will be a long six week wait, LOL.
Rented this Truck and drove it for a week through a snowstorm in NY. this thing is a beast and made driving in the snow so much fun, however, the one I rented was a basic trim and it kinda felt like driving a truck from the 90s when it comes to options. if buying, always go for the loaded one.
Absolutely!
Got a '16 SR5 2.7 2WD Access cab. Best mod i did was the Nitro 4.88 gears. Feels like this is the gearing Tacoma transmissions were meant to be paired with and should have came this way from factory. A lot quicker acceleration, no gear hunting and better MPG highway as it isnt banging into 4th all the time. KN filter, secondary filter delete, and passenger tires instead of steel belted truck tires {this configuration truck is light enough to do it, rides way quieter and more plush}. The lighter tires w/ better rolling resistance, geared lower, and air filter upgrade the 4 cylinder has great grunt and gets 20/25mpg now instead of 19/23.
You installed led bulbs in your stock halogen fog and low beam housings?
Yes, they work great even a year later
Thanks for the honest review 😎
I’ve been waiting for quite a while to pull the trigger on purchasing a 2021 Tacoma. While, in fact, yours is older, you still provide good insight.
I’m not religious but I do respect your beliefs. If religion works for you and keeps out of trouble, then that’s awesome!
Anyway, I subscribed to see how your truck holds up and if there any more mods that you’d do 👀
Keep up the great content 👍🏼
Thank you! I really appreciate it, and double thank you for the civil comment. I get so many comments from people angry with God and it makes me sad.
@@AlphaShark Which model do you recommend if I don't plan on pulling and driving uphill? I just want a small pickup. Do you recommend the SR5 or TRD Sport?
For the LED mod do you get bright and dim from the H11 ?
ricardo skyers I honestly cannot say, I got the top result on Amazon.
Love your Tacoma, I just ordered a 2021 trd off road access cab with manual transmission, I hope I made a wise decision as I am planning to keep it for a very long time :) just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the video
How are you liking it? I’m thinking of this as well.
Nice review! I tend to write about the corvair pickup which one has yet to comment about. Even though it does not compete with the more powerful 2020 pickups, it still is the only American made amphibious vehicle(there is a video of it being used in the lake and going pretty fast passing boats), and currently in a museum.
I absolutely love my Tacoma, I’ve never had kids, but I imagine it’s close to the amount of love I have for this Truck. I always catch myself giving 2 double takes to my shiny white tacoma with Big ass tires. I can’t stop loving it, 2months now still same feeling
Keep up the great work my Christian brother!!! Nice video.
You know what i thought the skits were corny at first but that lego car driving off made me laugh
I definitely agree they can be corny because I’m trying to find my groove. I’ve never really done anything of this scale before. But I’m glad that made you laugh! Haha if you could’ve seen all the work that went into that you’d crack up, I had my siblings out on the camera and moving the car with string. We have so many bloopers.
You didn’t elaborate about why you don’t hate Nissan any longer?
Paul Bennett check out my Nissan Frontier and Nissan Titan reviews to see why! 😄
Nice Truck, Nice Color & Nice Review! Have you done any oil spray or under body, chassis coating for water displacement and to prevent rust? Do you hear squeaks from the leaf spring sets on the rear?
I don’t hear any squeaks but I also don’t believe I’ve done that! I’ll have to look into it thank you for the compliments.
How did you change the headlight to LED? Was it easy or did you take it to dealer...etc.?
Super easy, I just changed the bulb!
Funny how we both have the same thoughts on trucks....the Magnum piece was funny !... best of luck with the truck ....I'm in a Colorado now but Tacoma's looking good for 2023....
Colorado’s are very good trucks! And thanks, I was not sure how that Magnum bit was gonna go over 😂 it was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve done in public, but it paid off. And hey Tacoma’s are great trucks too brother! Either way I think you’d be making a good choice.
Your giving the glory to God, and corny jokes just earned you a new subscriber!
I also have a prayer request that is actually very pertinent to this video... I just started a new job as an electrician trainee, and need a truck to get to and from work... I've been using my moms car, but she's a teacher, and she'll need it again when school starts back up, leaving me with no vehicle... My preference is a Tacoma because of they're history of reliability (and lets be honest... they look pretty darn cool lol) but I'll take whatever God gives me.... Keep up the awesome work, brother! Thanks!
MrJediKnight thank you, and I will be praying! God will provide 😁
Same here. Makes me smile
I’ll pray for you I hope I get one too
Prayers for you, your new job, and good luck on getting the Taco you want! God Bless!
Prayers for you 🙏🏾. I know everything will work out.
I may have missed it. Whats the fuel consumption on city & highway? Any info please? May buy a 2020 or 2021
I drove a good amount of back roads the other day for about 40 hours and average 20.3 MPG normally when I'm in the city I get about 17.5 and on the highway roughly 23-24mpg.
Just bought the 2020 Sport 4x4 Quicksand. I think I heard the gearing is different so I hope I don't run into slipping issues. But I love my Tacoma!
Sheepdog Sherlock awesome!
Any issues with the seating position? Like on long trips.
For me personally, not really.
I watched the first episode because I just got an 09 Tacoma and I’m like obsessed with Tacoma content on UA-cam right now and I have to say the sequel to your first video is hilarious subscribed! God bless you
Dude I got like 4 more videos in the series! 😂
I’m currently in the market for a Tacoma, did you get the I4 or the v6? I’m leaning towards the I4.
You barely get one mile per gallon better on the I4, the fuel economy savings are barely noticeable and the v6 you get much more power.
Good morning 🌞 I picking up my2021 Tacoma today! Can’t wait 😛 great work on this vid thanks
Thanks! Tell me how it is.
Oh me too!! Just got my first truck today.qlway had sport cars ^^
Did a firmware update fix the Stereo issues? Thanks, I could use all the prayers I can get.
Yes!
In the market for a tacoma but looking more for a 2x4 rear wheel drive in 4 cyl/ Crew cab. Enough power in the 4? Not really hauling much with it. What are your thoughts? Great video by the way.
Pauley thanks! I would say go for it! If you’re not hauling the 4 cyl. Does a fine job. The only draw back is you’re only getting a very mild fuel economy bump on the 4 vs. the 6. It’s only like rated 2 mpg better which sucks. But if you don’t need the 4wheel drive and stuff I’d say Taco is the way to go for reliability!
Always test drive! 4 cyl tacos r always a solid reliable pickup. But they do seem a bit weaker/slow under the bigger Gen2-3 body, this is evident by noticing the lackluster gas mileage of the 4cyl vs 6cyl. It will be fine for a daily driver, hauling a kid or 2, and moving minor bed loads. 2x4 at least is a must in light snow. If you don’t need to pull big loads or want a ton of horsepower/speed or plan on taking it off road, it’s a winner for sure! Everyone loves Tacos!
I love the 2.7 liter 4 cyl in my old 08 Tacoma. I felt I was carrying more in that truck than other people were in there bigger trucks.
Does the gear hunting happen with standard driving or only when you’re in the mountains? I ask because I’m considering this truck, but I live in Texas, so this wouldn’t be an issue for me. But if it’s all the time on flat terrain, I have concerns.
The newer models have fixed this issue, this is a 2019. It doesn't often happen.
@@AlphaShark have to disagree with you. Just bought a 2022 trd still has the gear hunting issue. Dealer says it’s “normal”.
@@bigcmcg3946 I read a Toyota press release I believe that said they fixed it. But I suppose they did not.
@@AlphaShark they did a software update but it did not fix the problem only made it slightly less worse than previous.
Just found your channel. I've liked the Tacoma for some time now! I'm currently owning my 3rd Toyota. I have a 2019 Toyota Camry XSE and love it! My 3rd Camry also I might add. Excellent quality in Toyota! Dependable and definitely reliable! Also a "fellow Christian"! I will be watching several of your videos this coming Memorial Day week! Always my personal best for you, your Family and your channel! Mark in Iowa.
Thanks Mark, that really made me smile! God blessed me with this channel and I absolutely love making people smile and glorifying God while doing it. Who would've thought part of my ministry would be pickup truck reviews? I really hope you enjoy my other content!
I will enjoy it all. I am definitely sold on Toyota now however. I also watched your 2019 Tacoma Limited video. Another quality video and pickup as well! I might suggest youtuber Toyota Jeff in Raleigh North Carolina. I’ve followed him for more than 2 years now. He is all things Toyota as he is a senior rep with Fred Anderson Toyota in Raleigh. Mark.
I have watched Jeff yes, That’s a good channel! I watch a lot of car you tubers and I’ve taken inspiration from people like Doug Demuro, Raiti’s rides and Car Confections. I saw what they did and I was like “I bet I can do that but with a little more God and humor!” And... I’m floored I’ve even been able to get this far. God is good all the time. - Isaac
Was the bluetooth issue resolved in the 2020 model?
J P yes it was actually my phone!
What LED’s did you purchase for the headlights?
Whatever the first result on Amazon was
I just bought a new Tacoma and I pray it will last I will enjoy it! Love your video!
Wholesome dude with awesome content AND he’s got a taco?? Of course I’ll subscribe!
Yeah I’d describe myself as a triple threat. 😎 Thank you for subscribing haha!
Pray for me that I make my right choice of next car. I live in Cali. And missed driving a small truck. And am looking at Tacoma, and a newer version of my mazda 3 hatchback.
What year is your truck? I use to have a 2004 Ford ranger back in MA.
Mine is a 2019! And I will be praying
Just got a 2020 sr5, what backup lights did you use? I didn't see it in any video
I got those LED's off of Amazon, I think they were the first result for "LED reverse lights 3rd gen Tacoma"
@@AlphaShark thank you so much
Great 👍 truck I was laughing 😂 when Tom left in the little red care I loved it .. and yes Toyota are very reliable I own a tundra and I love it it’s great on long trips it’s comfortable.
How’s that gas tho
Born 2 Win. It's ok I guess but it's worth it
I'm probably going to buy a Tacoma soon as it would be easier for me to get in & out of crowded Stores & other parking lots ... all over the planet ... otherwise, I'd buy the Tundra like now for almost the same price as a Full dress Tacoma
@@michaelchapman4955 I had a Toyota Toyota Tundra 2019 But I sold it and I got me a 2021 Toyota 4Runner and I love it
May the Lord continue to bless you brother!
What part number of led for headlights?
I’ll be honest, I just went on Amazon and put “2019 Tacoma LED headlights” I think they’re H11’s if I remember correctly?
Where did you get that brown interior? I’ve never sent it before!
It's called "Caramel" and it was available from 2018-2020 I believe on the SR5 trucks.
Although I have no idea about your door problem, but I think you can put sticky glue on the end of rope or cloth.. shove it in there.. wait for it to stick with the thing and dry and pull it back.. you got the idea.. right?
Yes, thank you! A lot of people have told me similar things. I actually haven't heard it rattle in a long time so I'm just waiting to hear it again to act.
Ohhhh really cool to hear you do land shaping because that's what I'd ve doing with my truck and I've been seriously thinking about getting a tacoma
I'm looking into too...
God bless, thanks for the video.
This is good content! Keep it up 👍
No link for the backup LED's?
Stack Smasher I got them on amazon, I can’t remember which ones 🤷🏽
Dude! Praise God! Got a 2020 Tacoma SR5 (XP Predator) 2 weeks ago! Just wish LED lights were standard. I installed LED headlights and Fog lights today! Fog lights from Lasfit are switchable from white to yellow (2 modes). LD Plus Switchback H11. Awesome video and looking forward to checking out all your previous videos! God bless!
Thank you! Love to know what you think of my other vids and what color Tacoma did you get??
@@AlphaShark Tacoma Showdown was very informative. My Taco is white :)
@@supoki9952 Awesome!
so hilarious, magnum pi. i enjoyed your video. i just bought a tacoma, also happy with it. nice to know you are a believer
Alexander De Leon thanks and I’m glad to have another believer as a viewer!
Waiting on a new Tacoma now. Can't wait
What year is this truck and also what made you get the color you got? And why Toyota
2019, I love how the color looks and Toyota is known for their reliability and I thought it was very sleek.
@@AlphaShark Nice I’m planning on purchasing a Tacoma same color you got that’s why, but my debate is now from the SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road or the TRD Pro I don’t know which one to purchase /:
Have a TRD Pro 2019 love it so far 🔥🔥🔥
Put some spray foam very little and very carefully in the hole it will cling to clips no more tiny rattles
Just got a SR5 2 days ago straight from Glendora Toyota , best decision ever I love Toyota trucks
I grew up near Glendora, Covina, West Covina, Azusa, etc... LAs SGV
Have you tried modifying the hose on a vacuum to get the clips?
LEDs are definitely happening with my truck. Not decided on the fog lights yet, but definitely all the rest.
Haven't really noticed any transmission issues with mine, especially compared to my 2008 Canyon which was a 4 speed so it shifted quite hard under load.
Speaking of which, I love the ride of my Taco, but my Canyon was a little better on the road, especially over bumps. Then again it could be because I have the TRD Off Road. The Canyon was also the off road package though. Very stable on the highway though. And you're definitely right about the front air dam. Mine didn't have one to start with and I love the stance of it without it.
RedWings-44 I have not tried a hose! But it’s like sooooo thin. Like a straw barely gets through, haha I tried sucking it up 😂
@@AlphaShark lol yeah, I believe that. Of course, that then brings me to me next point of, are they small enough to come out in the first place?
RedWings-44 it would be tight.
I know this comment is a little late but I wanted to give in my two cents on my leased 2021 Toyota Tacoma. It's an SR5 just like yours but in Magnetic Grey Metallic with the matching dark grey wheels. I absolutely love this truck! It's been a great daily driver and a dependable work truck for my detailing business! Since mine is a '21, I have the upgraded power drivers seat and 8-inch touchscreen. Just like you mentioned in the cons, I do have the exact same bluetooth issues even with the updated head unit. Once I get it going, it works great! I don't agree with the people who think this truck drives horribly or is uncomfortable because I feel the opposite. It has a nice and smooth driving feel owing to its body-on-frame construction. Just like you said, it eats potholes which is a huge benefit compared to my Honda Civic Hatch trade-in. The seats are supportive and the driver seat is even more comforting knowing you can find the right spot thanks to power.
It also looks the part. The Chevy Colorado and Ford Ranger look too blobby and bland whereas the Tacoma is boxy and rugged. That's probably one of the reasons why they sell well other than reliability. I'm surprised at how well my fuel economy is doing. When I drove five minutes down the road at my old job, I was only averaging between 16-17 mpg. Since I'm driving longer distances with my new business, I'm now averaging 21-22 mpg which is fantastic for a V6! Even though I have time to think this through but I'm debating whether to buy out my lease or trade it in for the next generation Tacoma. I'll have to see what the new one has to offer. Great review by the way. Very well written, humble, and a great sense of humor! Thanks.
Never too late to comment! Thanks for your opinion. I see so many complaints about the transmission, driver's seating position, and the looks being "dated" I personally think it's the sleekest truck out there next to the newly unveiled 22' Frontier. I love how comfortable it is too, we're getting close to my 2-year update on the truck and I still love it as much as the day I first drove it off the lot. It's an excellent truck and probably the best of the midsize for now so I think you made a great choice! God bless you too, thank you for the kind words for my channel. P.S. Clicked your channel and I love it, I would love to find a Hotwheels or Matchbox Tacoma for my desk, you seem to be the expert and I couldn't find one? I think matchbox made a 3rd gen one in black but that was about it from my internet research.
Love the color on the door panel can I buy the after market mods
