Toyota YouTubers APPALLED by my Last Video...

- After posting my last video I received some pretty adverse feedback from some other Toyota UA-camrs... I won't say names. A couple of them couldn't believe I would put out a video like that. They couldn't believe I would bash Toyota like that. At first I was pretty upset by this unsolicited feedback but the more I thought about it, the more I understood. They were upset because they couldn't fathom putting out a video that actually criticized (although in satirical fashion) the auto brand WE love. Toyota is my favorite automotive manufacturer, I'll continue to support the company but also continue to be critical of the brand... BECAUSE I love the brand. That's the part that a lot of folks don't understand. It is absolutely possible to love something while also being critical of it. In my opinion, they go hand in hand. There'a a lot to like about new 2024 Toyotas... plenty to like. BUT, I also think there's a lot to dislike, and we as enthusiasts SHOULD offer this feedback and be open and honest about it. It's what allows the company to improve. How does Toyota even know what to improve if they're constantly being told they're perfect? They deserve our unfiltered critique. Being afraid to offer those jabs because you're afraid to lose out on an invite, is quite pathetic.
I have 100% come to grips with the fact that I will likely NEVER get invited to another Toyota event, I'm okay with that. I'd rather keep things 100% real and honest on my channel instead of simping for a brand with hopes of getting handouts and all-expense paid trips. My hope is that Toyota will eventually see the value in the critiques that I'm not afraid to provide... and hopefully someday they'll be receptive and open to what I have to say. I firmly believe that I'm not alone in a lot of my thoughts of new Toyotas. The new 2024 Toyota Tacoma is wildly overpriced for being a cheaply made 4banger mid-size pickup. Smaller engine, bigger payment. No thanks.
The new Tundra saw a HUGE price spike over the last gen, we're just supposed to be cool with that? Having owned a 2023 Tundra TRD Pro, I can confidently say that it's not worth the $74K+ price tag. And $65K for the new 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro??? Whahhh? And just $500 less for the 2024 Toyota Trailhunter? No thanks.
It's okay to call a spade a spade... We shouldn't be afraid to do that. I won't be. You can count on that!
Thank you for the continued support. If you haven't already, please consider Liking and Subscribing, your support means a lot... and I certainly appreciate it!

Bought Toyotas for 30 plus years and what they are doing now is finally driving me away. Your last video was dead on right. Toyota is playing us.
Honda isn't any better
Absolutely.
wouldnt be surprised if it is our government pressure/policy. Why cant we get a hilux or the 300 cruiser? Why cant we have a super simple stripped down version like was offered for some models in the past? Im in tech but dont need a airplane cockpit to keep me entertained while I drive. I just need a super rock solid dependable vehicle.
@@scottdubois5658 Speaking of the Hilux. I saw one here in Houston. It had Mexican plates, so I'm sure it belonged to someone visiting from Mexico. Beautiful mid sized truck. And it was diesel as well.
Agree
Dude. Thanks for being honest instead of a sellout.
Truly. And thank you for your service.
Never trust the opinion of a man who makes money off supporting a brand! Third party opinions are the only ones that you should listen to.
I actually unsubscribed from a guy I’ve followed for years because anyone who had a negative opinion on the 4th gen, he would get defensive and snotty. Too bad. The 4th gen is a truck nobody asked for. Good job and I really respect your honesty and integrity.
Other UA-camrs too scare to tell the truth about pricing and reliability of the new Toyota vehicle but unfortunately they were too scared to said out loud because Toyota won’t invite them to the event , and that’s gonna hurt their income. YOURE THE MAN BRO.
Change Nothing! 70K for a 4 cylinder engine, they can keep it in storage!!
Facts.
Yeah that doesn’t sit right with me either… =\
I know a 4 cylinder work pick up truck, who thought that was a good idea.
@harrishara8375
Amen, 💯
No one wants those either@@sarinvx
We need more UA-camrs like you. don't get paid to glorify the new stuff. Brutal honest truth.
Scotty Kilmer and Project Farm's (among others) success is proof that truth actually profits above narcissistic whoredom.
I sincerely appreciate that man, but I don’t always get it right either…
@@UntamedMotors No one does. You do a great job.
It is not the truth. Truth is to criticize what is correct. But writing/saying WOKE Toyota is a lie, because they had the most news conferences against BEVs and against the stupid "green" regulations.
YOUR GOVERNMENT is guilty of putting stupid, evil regulations, trying to move us on BEVs, smaller engines etc.
YOUR GOVERNMENT brought the inflation by printing money like crazy.
So it's not Toyota and the other best cars' producers (Japanese) but the government.
Blame and make your government accountable, don't blame Toyota or Mazda, Subaru etc. (the best car producers) for your WOKE GOVERNMENT or the worse car producers (Chinese, Korean, European etc.) that fully embraced BEVs and "saving the planet" BS.
Veteran here driving a 2022 4Runner Limited and a 2024 Frontier Pro4X❤❤❤❤
My wife and I just purchased a 2024 4Runner TRD Offroad that I truly believe will be one of the last long-term reliable Toyotas. I came to your channel to give me that no-nonsense information and guidance to make the decision to pull the trigger. And for that I thank you. Keep doing what you're doing!
Great purchase. I just recently bought a 2020 Tacoma limited 4x4 in cement, pristine condition. It’s absolutely perfect and I plan on keeping it forever. Your 4Runner will certainly last as long as you want it to. Cheers
We bought a 2023 forerunner in Sept of last year. Had been buying Tahoe’s We always trade every 2 years. We are not buying a 4cylinder turbo. I guess back to Chevy
As a Veteran myself, Thank you for your Service....👍
Thanks man. 🙏
Appreciate your support.
Have been owning Toyotas since the 80s up to now. If I am a vlogger, I would say the same thing about Toyota like you did. Whatever happened to the affordable working man's vehicle???
❤ thank you to the moon and back 👍🏽
You were 100% correct on your criticism. Thank you and keep being honest. This push towards EV and hybrid vehicles is going to fail eventually. Or at least for the common middle class earner in the USA. These vehicles will eventually become too expensive.
I'm a Toyota guy, but you are calling a spade a spade. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a ton man! Wish I could be a little more positive about the new Toyotas… they’re just making it pretty difficult. =\
Don't let these other UA-camrs bully you, when the market changes and everyone is hating this company's they're going to flip the script.
Hey fella, I’m a retired Service Support Engineer with a fortune 50 company, Toyota should hire you! Also, my degree is EET, and I like your statement about the “Path of least Resistance”! Your peers should rally around you! The reason I watch your video is because I am in the market to buy a new vehicle! $$$ This is my 1st post ever.
I wasn’t appalled I was entertained….comedy, especially satirical comedy always contains a grain of truth.
It's not really satirical comedy but criticism even though it was framed in a comedic manner
@@skelorbonor ... Ditto That!
Agreed
Appreciate it Dano, thanks for the support man. =]
It's no comedy when you lie. Toyota was/is the biggest fighter against WOKENESS (BEVs, strict regulations leading to engines' downsize etc. - all due to YOUR GOVERNMENT, embracing "eco"-Marxism, bringing a huge inflation through printing money like hell).
But be dumb and blame Toyota, thus becoming the ally of your evil government 😢
This is why I followed, non biased is the best way to be in the long run.
He’s so biased. Just angry he don’t get the invite to the events 😆
His latest videos he just sound angry and miserable. The earlier videos were the same formula, gets new Toyota, loves it then hates it. Rinse and repeat 🔁
Dude he is hating on something that he doesn’t understand just because it’s 4 bangers.
Because he has same opinion as you doesn’t make it unbiased
People hating on engine that puts better output with less displacement just because of number of cylinder… lol
@@kildli 💯 they act they’ll be less reliable because of it. But they’re new engines. They’re are going to have problems at first. Their most reliable engines had problems at first too but people seem to forget because it was so long ago. Also the price they complain about because they top trims they want but can’t get have a high starting price. Even tho the new taco starts at 31k they act like all of them cost as much as a trd pro 🤣
Toyota will and still sell a bunch of them regardless of what he thinks or says. They’re breaking production records and sales are high.
As for reliability, Even if they do become less reliable It will still be more reliable than the competitors lol
I haven’t drove the new taco but I did test drive a platinum tundra hybrid and it was great. You couldn’t tell it was a v6 besides the “sound” 🤣
Your last video was spot on. Being a long time Toyota owner, I have never had a problem. My first Toyota truck was in 1981 and my newest is a 2022 limited. I was going to wait for the redesign, but I'm glad I didn't. I can't justify the price. Toyota, what the hell are you doing? A loyal customer since 1975.
Just for the heck of it/ walked past a Toyota dealership and it was loaded with Tacomas /Tundras. Salesperson was insanely welcoming/friendly but the whole lot felt like someone died- no energy at all.$70 grand for a Tundra/$50 grand for a Tacoma made me realize that my dog brings me more comfort even more.
UA-cam Toyota fanboys will never say anything negative. They can never be honest about the product it’s ok to say something negative, no one product is perfect much less the new Toyotas.
I love toyota. hate the price. love that they last forever and have top notch resale. hate how they take so long for refreshes sometimes it feels you just bought an antique at the dealership. In then end i just can’t picture any vehicles that can last as long outside of honda
@@providentpathfinders219. Reality!
@@providentpathfinders219 The 1999-2005 Buick Lesabre can last as long as any Toyota or Honda in my opinion. Can't beat their 3800 V-6 engine with the 4 speed tranny.
Jus like they never break🤡
My 2019 pro was 41k in late 19. I left the dealership hanging with my preordered allocation after they told me my new 24 would be 65k. Told them to fuck themselves. Now I have a 24 pepper red ranger raptor on order to be here in 2 months. 57k, and its better in every way. My 19 was built in texas, ALL 24s are built in MEXICO.
I have zero interest in the new 4 cyl Tacoma.
I would never buy a car made in Mexico.
@@femaledeerwhether it’s candy or cars I don’t buy any product now made in Mexico when it was previously Made in USA.
@@femaledeer -I'm surprised since every Mexican worker is in the USA Now! FJB!
@@commonsenseisntcommon1776 TOTALLY agree with the FJB !!!
Trash
You ain’t scared of Toyota, call it like you see it, like a true American! 👏🏻👏🏻
I'm a Toyota lover for decades. I haven't ever bought other brand, but now I'm absolutely agree with you. I will never sell my 80 Series Land Cruiser, 2016 Tundra for new models.
I don't want complex engines, because what I loved from Toyota's is their reliability at a reasonable prices.
Dude, look at these comments, I hope you realize that we got your back. You are a good man that does the right thing and we need more people like you. Thank you, I will continue my support.
Thanks brother. I’m definitely overwhelmed by the amount of support on here… and I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you. 🙏
I loved your last video.. all truth!
Thank you for the kind words and support! 🙏
Thank you for being so transparent. I appreciate your info. I've considered myself a Tacoma girl for years, but with the high prices of the new Tacomas now, my husband and I ended up getting a new Colorado ZR2. After lots of research, we felt like we were getting "more bang for our buck" with the ZR2 compared to the Tacomas. Thanks again, Untamed. Keep speaking the truth!
These videos shed light on the problem. Some salesman yesterday tried to tell me the Tacoma I was looking at should sell in one day if I don’t buy it.
My reply, good thing the lots are full of them everywhere.
Way to stand your ground man. 💯 💪
I bought a Toyota Tundra 2023 1974 edition, expecting quality fit and finish from Toyota (based on their older models) and what I got instead was an interior that started rattling everywhere (especially the sunroof area, center console and passanger side doors). There was also a very loud metallic clunking noise from the bed when I pull the rear window down and drive over uneven roads. Had I paid 40K I would understand but this thing was 70K. Ended up selling it. I would advise anyone to wait 3-4 years before buying these newer models so they can get the quality under control. Interestingly, many car youtubers said "great fit and finish", which is 100% incorrect.
You’re one of many
"looks good" and "is good" are definitely two totally different things lol.
Ford super duty Lariat interior looks good, but the materials are pretty cheap. The Platinum interior looks good and is good. Ram Limited interior looks good and is good. Chevy Interiors look good but the materials are cheap. GMC from AT4 and up looks good and is good. Have to be really discerning on a per model/per vehicle basis.
Quality under control assumes that Toyota still believes in kaizen. I have my doubts.
My neighbour has a '23 Tundra 1794 and he's had it back to the shop at least three times for issues, software upgrades, etc. Not impressed.
My Tacoma had so many issues we nicknamed it the Lemona. 🍋
Right-on man. There are enough informercials out there in the UA-cam universe.
Thanks man! 🙏
Great video, don't stop sticking up for whats right no matter what. I recently subscribed and now your locked in forever... way to stand up for whats right and not compromising your content. Thanks also for the straight up value, content and opinions on the automotive industry your helping a lot of people. 👍
Keep making videos the way you do, honesty is refreshing and needed.
Thank you for being authentic and TRUTHFUL! You have every right to call it like it is. You want them to be better - if it's an echo chamber, they'll never improve. I detest UA-camrs who "review" products but then you realize that they are being paid off by the brands. People want honesty. Keep it up! You got this, and I think your honesty is going to keep your channel thriving!
I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback and kind words. Thank you! 🙏
Get em UnTamed! We're with you! ❤💯
Thanks brother! Really appreciate your support. 🙏
Good on you. Grew up as an Air Force brat, my family is from Wyoming and as a retired LEO, I believe in speaking my mind. You have to be you and I can guess who some of your critics are, but they do not shave your face or answer for your decisions. I just subscribed. I have a ‘22 4Runner and my wife a ‘23 RAV4.
Keep being real and doing what you been doing, we will keep supporting you, now a days these "youtubers/car reviewers" are not even honest with themselves, but this is one of the many reasons i personally follow you for a long time now because your passion for toyotas (real og toyotas) and your transparency/honesty, something that some of these press reviewers will never have.
You Are A Person Of Integrity
Toyota North America has been rapidly going downhill for the last 4 to 5 years. I’ve bought numerous Toyota’s in the past but no more.
Well said brotha. I loved it and appreciate the honest opinion!! We get so geeked out watching all of these promo videos hyping up the new Toyota builds.. we lose sight of some of the logical thinking most of us pride ourselves in having. I’m second guessing purchasing due to your opinion making me go “damn he’s right… lemme look at this little harder…”
Good for you Untamed! You should link the video here for those that missed it.
I wasn't appalled at all by the last video. I think it's silly to hype up a 4 cyl. Tacoma thats $52k plus. You're doing the Lord's work Untamed keep it up.
The 4 cyl engines are not Toyotas fault, they are ours because we voted in the wrong politicians that regulated these companies into a 4 cylinder corner.
Haha I really appreciate your support man, thank you! 🙏
@@Icayn Car manufacturers still make cars with V6 and V8, so there is no excuse.
@@femaledeer they are all being forced into these emission standards. It’s only a matter of time. Unless it’s a heavy duty vehicle or high priced sports car v6 and 8 are going away, Toyota just has the resources to comply sooner than say Nissan. Every v8 they sell costs them extra money.
@@Icayn Why not give the option to the consumer willing to pay more for a V6. Toyota can easily lower the price for their Mexico truck and offer the V6 as an option.
You have grown into one of my favorite UA-camrs.. not just toyota channels. UA-cam in general. Real, not a script following robot
Thanks a ton brother. Super appreciate the support and kind words. =]
Please keep fighting the good fight and telling us your honest opinion on these vehicles! We appreciate you!
I'm glad you're speaking your mind on this stuff. I think in your last video, you simply said the stuff that most people truly think, but are afraid to say. This video was a good explanation of it too. For me, I really enjoy older Toyotas, the three I have range from 20-29 years old. Of the three I have, 8k was the most I've paid for one. I'm definitely not the target market for the new Toyota models, but I enjoy keeping up with what they make and I get excited about them. However, even though I'm not buying anything new, I do believe the pricing has gotten way out of control. I'm curious to see how these new models hold up over time and who knows, maybe in 20 years I can buy a 2024 Tundra or Tacoma if they've proven reliable. I am a bit disappointed by the hybridization and downsizing of engines, as I love my 4.7 Tundra and 4.0 4Runner. Great videos, I appreciate your honesty and sticking to what you truly feel needs to be said. I've watched your channel some before, but I finally subscribed today. I heard you say you're in the military, so also, thank you for service.
TRDjon and TFL feel personally attacked 🤣
Bc they are 🤡🤡
Trdjon is a joke. He’s pushing this garbage just for clicks.
💯
TRDjon is a tool bag. Dude can’t take any criticism when he’s wrong and just pushes Toyota nonsense.
He has cool sunglasses though
Sometimes criticism is the greatest form of love. I think it’s obvious that you love the Toyota brand due to your frustrations. The problem for them is that it’s all 100% truth and it makes them look like phonies! You, my friend, are just giving the opinions that MANY of us have!
Thanks a ton brother. 🙏
Amen to that. I love Toyota, I want them to succeed… just have a hard time watching them make these recent moves. =\
You’re right on man! Keep up the good work! The value just isn’t there anymore. Prices have gone up and quality has gone down. I hope to run my ‘21 Tacoma for a long time.
Bro you are so real. Thanks for being honest and not selling out. You are 100% dead on. The other youtubers are fake and just put on a show to get free gear, first dibs on trucks, and exclusive invites to events. This whole influencers thing has gone too far and it has now become unauthentic, which is suppose to be the whole point of “influencers.” Many of them are simply puppets for the brand. Good for you for being honest to your fans and most of all honest to yourself. Keep it up!!
Speak truth to power! You said what we are all thinking. Keep it up Bro!
Thanks man! Appreciate you! =]
I'm a Toyota guy. I had a celica when I was in the Marines stationed at 29 palms. I drove that celica from 29 palms to San Diego every weekend that I could. Great car. I had a succession of ford's and chevys and a ram. I then went back to Toyota and bought a 2002 taco a 2010 taco a 2014 taco and a 2019 taco. Great trucks and affordable. I now have a 2021 off road 4runner. Another great truck. 64K+ dollars for a 4 cylinder truck is WAY TOO MUCH MONEY. I'll keep my 4runner thank you.
I absolutely loved the video and agree with you. Call it like it is. I’ve been following you for years and love your honesty and integrity. Shame on those other UA-camrs for calling you out and asking for it to be taking down. That’s why I only follow you for my Toyota information. Keep up the great videos Untamed.
I just watched your last video, ten minutes ago. I thumbs up and subscribed. Tell them to go to their "safe place", talk to their Therapist, suck their thumb, refuse to go upstairs for supper! 😝💪
Well, I haven’t seen it yet, but don’t need to.
You may become the reason Toyota and other manufacturers rethink their new technologies and ridiculous prices.
You just gained my subscription. Great job!
Really appreciate the support man. Thank you! 🙏
I found the skit very entertaining! People get upset because you're speaking the truth. Keep it up Mister Untamed!
Really appreciate the support and kind words, Tommy! 🙏
Been a huge Toyota fan. Owned a '04 and '12 Taco for a total of 17 years. Frustrated to see where they have taken things. Massive MSRPs, Tacos exclusively assembled in Mexico, all the smaller cylinder Turbo engines across the board, overall quality decreasing...all of this is just sad.
Bro, forget about the Toyota parties and invites and whatnot… it doesn’t matter, as you clearly put to the point by saying how you don’t depend on YT or Toyota whatsoever. We appreciate the honesty of your channel, and your delivery. Dude, I’m friends with some of the biggest names in the USA’s Toyota promoter “guild”, and they are all upstanding guys. I feel for them that they probably can’t be totally open and honest in their opinions of the new ways of the brand, having their/our off roading and Toyota Land Cruiser heritage going back so far into the 80’s and earlier. But to their credit they probably are more fond of the upsides of the brand than some of us, or rather maybe they can just see the good more than many of us who are critical and utterly disappointed in the direction and current state of our beloved brand…. So, the invites… forget about em! Now… onto your “woke” video: I thought it was FANTASTIC! A home run! Enjoyed every minute of it and was so glad you didn’t break “character” through the whole thing! Nailed it all! Now, the term “woke”… well, although it probably in itself pissed off a few loyalists, its a term that in my opinion isn’t necessarily the most accurate depiction of the state of the brand… and that said, I see why you would use that word because it does however reach the point closer than any other term available! So I get that too! Anyway, you just keep on keeping on and lets hope the brand rights itself, and if it never does then I recommend procuring as many of the old Toyota relics that you can get your hands on and keeping them forever!
There is no reason to be brand loyal in this day and age. A truck is just a tool. Buy what works for your needs. Who cares what other UA-camr's think! Just be your own man, it is your channel!
Immediately following your video, Toyota sent me a questionnaire post tundra purchase. I stated many of the same concerns. Flimsy plastic. Useless touchscreen once your satellite radio subscription expires, complex engine, etc.
Thank you for your honesty. My feeling on the body of the Tundra is the designers dropped acid and started to draw. I HATE that body, front to back. What really gets me is the front fender with that swollen section right at the top curve. I see it is a combination of hood lines & side wall lines coming together, but it looks "chunky" and strange. Loose the "chunk'. bring back smooth lines.
We thank you for your service and appreciate your strength and honesty in your videos. $40k-$50k for a rubber band, 4 cyl turbo is ridiculous. I hope those trucks continue to stack up at the dealerships. I’d buy one for $32k, but that is about it.
Cheers dude! Cheers! 🥂
As a 40 year Fed, I hear you. As someone responsible for purchasing millions of $ of hardware & software each year; I never accepted as much as a lunch from a vendor. More often I would buy. It wasn’t that I was concerned about being “caught” accepting favors or that it was even improper. It wasn’t. It was just that I wanted my employees and the vendors themselves to understand that purchases are based on product performance and value rather than the Director’s preference to sit court side with some sales guy. Ii wanted the message to be unambiguous and I wanted to reduce the possibility of protests. I am sure there are feds out there who cashed in on positions such as mine. I left the government knowing I had managed 100s of millions of taxpayer dollars better than I manage my own funds. You don’t deserve nor receive any award for this type of behavior but it does make me sleep more soundly at night.
Cheers 🥂
Integrity is always number 1. Thank you.
That moment when he said he was a Vet from now on I know that I will get the truth every time and no bias this is what we need more of in this world not these actors who are just trying to kiss ass for event invites, good job man thanks for your service💪🏻
I appreciate your honesty! You are not the only one that is taken back by these Toyota prices. Higher prices, smaller engines, only a couple more mpg’s, made in Mexico!!! You gained a new sub! Nice job! Keep up the honest videos.
Everything you said in the last video is exactly what most realistic enthusiasts like myself feel and think. No wrong done. My 2023 off-road is likely the last new Toyota I will purchase
Bravo... new'ish' to tour channel and absolutely find it helpful and value your honesty on toyota co ... might surprise us toyo co may also.
Waiting on the market correction before exploring new 4 runner...
So keep up the good work !
And thank you for your service to us and our country 💪🫡🇺🇸
Without even naming "channels" I know exactly who you're referring to. 🤣 As for Toyota, I'm on the fence now. Good brand with famed reliability but other manufacturers are challenging their spot.
Good for you!!! Your truth is appreciated. People see the change for themselves. As a Toyota buyer I’ve been disappointed with them for the past few years. Middle class do NOT appreciate the ridiculous price hike! 😫😭😭
The Scorched Earth video was legendary Untamed. You made lite of many of the nonsensical realities of today’s world and poked a little fun at Toyota for giving us less for more $. I fully expect when they bring back the “oh what a feeling” advertising campaign, you will be the guy jumping in the air on the showroom floor.
Preach it, Brother. I used to be a die hard Toyota guy. The last few years. They have made some poor decisions and the market will react. Ignore the sellouts who will overpay for features that won't go the distance. You got my sub.
i have owned 6 tacomas.....loved them all. but you are correct about the 2024.....i believe the 4th gen is the first year of the disposable truck. kudos to you for being honest, and saying what needs to be said. my next truck we be a frontier.
Keep preaching the truth, sad days when I likely have purchased my last Toyota when bulletproof reliablity and affordablity go out the window. RIP Toyota.
Hell, yeah! Thank you for always keeping it real and not selling out, like other channels! 👊🏼
Exactly the reason why I’m a subscriber. love the honesty and will continue to look forward to the next video. Finally no BS content. We need more creators like yourself. Keep it up. 🤙
Respect and thank you for your service! I love my 22 trd pro 4r and hope to pass it along to my boy. I’m in the market for a full size PU and it’s hard to say but I’m not sure I can buy the new Tundra.. not sure of a good alternative but maybe the gmc 6.2.
Honesty and integrity will NEVER be the wrong choice. Unfortunately, today's society has gotten so soft that we tip toe in everything we say. I believe the philosophy of "Kaizen" which has historically driven the corporate culture at Toyota/Lexus is based on honest feedback and continuous improvement. Keep being you - we will be here watching!
This is why I love this channel. Always raw and straight forward, which means that everything uploaded on here is his opinion and not biased. I feel that we as a whole are losing this, and it is great to see people out here still standing their ground. I will keep supporting Untamed UA-cam Channel and Toyota as a 21 Tundra and 19 4Runner owner but will not purchase anything newer in the near future. Untamed, keep uploading great content and I am sure I can speak for a lot of us on here regarding the transparency. There will always be haters and brown nosers everywhere when beneficial to them.
Active member of TW you were well supported on the forum we can see through the TRDJons and other fanboys and their Toyota voice box channels. Don’t sweat it. Your videos and content aligns with the true enthusiasts and how most of us feel.
Appreciate your honesty, people get butt hurt way too easily… they need to grow up
Good job. I wasn't appalled. I learned a lot. Thanks for serving.
Thank you for the support. Really appreciate it! 🙏
Preach it, Brother! You're right on target.
Appreciate it, Leo! Thanks for the support and kind words. =]
My wife and I were looking to buy a Highlander in 2021. Yes, we are Toyota fans to the max. I met with one of the best Toyota mechanics in the country. No joke, Toyota itself rated him as top 8 in the country. I asked him, Hybrid or 6-cylinder? He said get the 6 cylinder, the hybrid is just another expensive component and potential expensive problem. We bought the 6-cylinder and are so happy we did.
I think you made a great call. Congrats!
Thanks for your honesty, I am glad to be a new subscriber to your channel and thanks for not being bought out by perks from Toyota. we need the truth and opinions of others about such a large purchase. I also love Toyota and they have been very reliable to me, but have concerns about where they are going. Thanks for being a great American!
I’ve been here since you started the channel years ago !! Your honest opinions has grown your channel to what it is today and always will grow , The truth hurts that’s why they are giving u flack about these new Toyota trucks etc. ..I’m here for the long haul brother !! Always waiting to see what’s next….
You’ve been a super loyal subscriber and I’ve always taken note of that. Thank you, Troy! Really appreciate your longterm support!
With that video you won my subscription to you and now I won’t miss any of your content. I completely agree with you, I took a Toyota Corolla 2004 that I own to the Dealership a couple weeks ago to do an inspection and they told me that I had to do a lot to it long story short the amount that they wanted to try to charge me was like 8 grand I said ooh no thank you when and took it to my local mechanic it was a fraction of what they said at the dealership 😂 plus one of the sales consultan keeps calling me and texting me to try get me to trade my car lol
Personally I would try to stick with oem parts as much as possible.. is that why your mechanic's estimate is cheaper?
I don't know much about the Corolla or parts availability for it but I would make sure if I were you.
Thank you for joining the channel, Robbie! Appreciate your support man. =]
I tag Toyota USA all the time and question their products. I am also a Toyota aficionado and your point is spot on- call them out.
60k for a tacoma. Pathetic.
Great video as always.
Keep doing what you're doing - a breath of fresh air. We need a source of true, unfiltered information regarding auto pricing, quality and related recommendations. I've stopped watching videos from several other providers who are nothing more than apologists for the auto manufacturers.
I subscribed to your channel after watching that video. Freedom of speech and wearing the proud uniform- I love that brother.
Keep up the good honest work. Honest criticism should be looked as a healthy dose for cherished brands like Toyota.
Fully agree with you, I don't get why no diesels in NA, or non hybrid engines for their new cars, makes no sense, why the prices so high more when some of these cars are made in Mexico?? This needs and has to be told!!
You can thank US govt for lack of disel engines outside of US manufacturer brands
@@kildli hence NA, Canada is not the US and we have the same problem, we literally mimic the US, pathetic!!
I added a comment, on a you tube video, that I won't bye a hybrid or turbo car. I got a lot of nasty comments. I seen you video of you critical of the new Toyota's and I agree with you. I was a great video.
You’re doing a great job!!
It’s like a breath of fresh air to hear someone speak the truth about the auto industry.
This runaway price train 🚂 is so ridiculous it insults one’s intelligence.
Thanks a ton man. I really appreciate the support. =]
I appreciate the truth. Too many other channels should take notes from you. Keep up the good work.
The truth hurts, but needs to heard. Love Toyota, but not the new direction. If they don’t straighten up, I might be in a new Ford Ranger Raptor 🤷🏼♂️
All i ask is to hear the truth, do not change. I have owned 5 Tacoma's, one Fj, 2 4 Runners and a FJ 55 and i know Toyota's and what they build. It is sad some of these sites won't speak truth. keep up the good work.
100 % agree! I've owned 8 Toyota pickups, currently driving a 2021 tundra which I almost traded for a new gen but I'm so glad I didn't ,I'm planning on keeping this one for a long time. My wife is on her 3rd rav4 and I have a '13 Camry for my get back and forth to work rig, all have been rock solid, I very much appreciate your channel! Keep up the good work , and don't hold back! Thanks
Massive respect for staying true to who you are, keeping the people informed. You won't find that from many UA-camrs anymore unfortunately. I won't stop watching here!
Thanks a ton, I really appreciate the kind words. =] 🙏
add new land cruiser first edition $77k for a 4cy and add the dealers greed = $15,000 -$20,000 markup sequoia trd pro$83k plus mark ups 2-3rd row seats take up to much cargo space when folded down , its more of a 3 row luxury family school bus than a overlander adventure vehicle
Too many people just read the brochure. I'm subbed here for a wider sampling of perspective. Thank you for providing yours.
I really appreciate the support man, thank you!
Im glad you’re walking tall on them. They should listen to your critical critiques. Some things they should have done if they were going to raise the prices that high was all trims should have premium lights especially on Tundra’s and Sequoia’s. The Sequoia’s should have came with a non-hybrid option with third row delete since they decided to remove the IRS. All the off road models should come standard with that TRD suspension lift.
Keep doing you brother I like your honesty which now days it’s hard to come by
You are one of very few who have stood up and been honest with everyone. And I applaud you, sir.
Hey Untamed, just wanted to put my two cents in, I totally agree with you, presently I am driving a Toyota Hybrid minivan , but the thing is this is my first and last Hybrid from Toyota, I am a diehard Toyota fan and don’t think I would buy any other brand so that said I would only be going back to the older model non Hybrid models, love your videos bro, keep them coming 🤙🏼🤙🏼.
That video was the first of yours I'd ever seen, and it was great. And your name says it all: Untamed Motors. So tell those domesticated little YTers to continue shilling for Toyota if they want, but integrity and rarity are precious, which makes what you did twice as awesome. Path of more resistance builds strength. Thank you. You earned a sub.
Who gives a fart what the heck they think about it.
Everyone has an opinion and you made a great video. Dont apologize to the haters.
