Thanks it’s my uncles, I’ll be sure to let him know!

@@bradyfailing8231 both of which are more dependable than your truck

@@time_of_yer_life_eh_kid I’ve never heard of a 4.0 6 cylinder disappointing anyone, sounds like a keeper ;)

I said it was?

@@oxidize99 only time will tell

I live in rural mi, therefore all you see is the big three. Also these trucks are pretty new. Now if we’re talking about clapped out 2002 Monte Carlo’s I bet I see more than most of the population 😂

Every brand goes through it

I hope you don’t have any more issues

Yeah I’m very surprised to see all the hate this trucks receiving. The truck is so new how could you possibly tell if it’s unreliable or not if they make 100,000 of these and 1% are terribly unreliable then people will only talk about that 1%. From my personal experience and my friends that own these I’ve heard good things

I’m not 100% sold on that, the trucks new and who’s to say we’re not just hearing about the bad cases. Definitely could see it both ways though

Just seems like if you want a good vehicle anymore used it the way to go

@@Bmstaudy i genuinely cant believe that they stopped using one of the most reliable 6cyl engines ever made for a turbo 4cyl that has less than a 10% increase on gas mileage

@@landenkeller8218 starting to see a lot of manufacturers doing the same thing unfortunately

How is it unreliable? Please do tell.

@@M85Iroc I’m wondering the same thing

Did you ever find out what caused it to knock

That’s what I heard 😂

It sucks that a lot of companies are being forced to redesign their engines

It’s not my truck, how could you possibly guess the longevity of a vehicle other than its previous success?

I agree but to an extent, I’ve never owned an i4 vehicle, but agree they can be overworked. Toyota is known for their reliability though and there really isn’t a perfect cylinder number

@@Bmstaudy Toyota WAS known for their reliability. 4 cylinder overworked engine in the truck made in Mexico by workers making under 3 dollars an hour.

God forbid someone has an opinion on something anymore, so much negativity

I’m more optimistic with Toyota than the majority of the other brands but I agree, I would buy an early 2000s diesel before anything

@@Bmstaudy I see so many 20+ year old V6 Tacoma's on the road. Why change the formula that brought you so much success!? Ford ruined the market for all vehicle classes. "Green" technology. This is about the bottom line. More plastic, wires, hoses and less metal. Sorry about the rant!

@@ryno488 no need to apologize I agree with you 100% I wonder everyday why gm discontinued the 3800

250k miles? Lmao i always sell my vehicles at 150k miles. even the v6 tacoma, at 250k miles, you're already looking at a minimum of 1 engine replacements

Every vehicle off the lines different, I’ve owned 3 3800s with over 250k on original drivetrain

I really think they improved this truck in almost every way from the previous generation!

Old Timer please shut these trolls who knows nothing about trucks lol. Do I agree with the price ? Hells no. But yeas I agree with you sir . Hands down best Tacoma truck outhere. If not midsize world wide .

The new car market doesn’t give the consumers much of an option anymore, and my friend works for Toyota so what he actually paid for the truck was no where near 50

the v6 was slow as a slug, i was able to test drive this one and it's 10x better in terms of performance

What do you think played a bigger factor the transmission or engine

You’re right, and I didn’t address it correctly in the video but I meant for the base model it’s one of the cheaper options

It’s all just a matter of opinion, this isn’t my truck. From my experience the people I know are happy with their trucks

I’m just gonna go ahead and state that your comment is almost 100% BS. Sorry to tell you, but the new truck is better in every single way, as it should be… it’s got more power, equal or better fuel mileage per tank, has a better interior, sounds better, and looks better (I know these last two are more subjective, but that’s my opinion). I owned a gen 3 trd OR premium and that truck was more expensive than my current gen 4… don’t get all the extra crap you don’t need and they don’t cost any more than any other Tacoma ever built (accounting for inflation). Don’t get me wrong, I liked my gen 3 a lot, but after having this one for 2 months now, it’s just a better truck, plain and simple. It seems the trendy thing to do these days is to go online and whine about things you have no clue about or no actual interest in using yourself. The Tacoma is doing just fine, and if you have been paying attention, you’d know that ALL new cars are expensive these days, and interest rates are also very high.

@@kevinbradley8613 I agree with you these trucks have been getting a lot of praise at least from what I hear

@@kevinbradley8613 If that’s the case then why would you pay 65k for a truck that doesn’t have nearly the options as what the new Colorado zr2 ? I have owned numerous tacomas and it’s funny how much of you guys are fanboys for a brand that is underwhelming. My first car was. 91 4Runner. Your preaching the the choir my friend. You too will soon realize Toyota doesn’t care about its longtime customers

@@Canyon04 I wouldn’t pay $65K… as I mentioned… you’re comparing top trim levels. My new truck was $44K, trd OR, manual transmission, no gimmicks. It’s a sweet truck. My ‘22 trd OR was nearly $48K when I bought it! Don’t hate on something you’ve got no actual clue about. If you don’t want a new truck, don’t buy one, or better yet, buy one that you do want! It’s pretty simple. Toyota isn’t the best company and I’m no “fanboy” I’ve owned all kinds of different vehicles over the years and enjoyed most of them. Jeeps, VWs, Nissan, Subaru… my father worked for GM for 40 years, I grew up with chevys. They all make nice vehicles! Even Ford lol. I’ve driven and used a few f150s over the years for work trucks. Unfortunately, they are getting more expensive, but that’s more OUR fault than the individual companies. We demand more, they give us more, and it costs MORE. If you’re comparing the top trim Chevy, ford, and Tacoma… no questions, I’d probably pick the Chevy or the GMC (same trucks basically), but I don’t need something like that, and most people don’t. Spending over $60K on a midsized truck is crazy to me, but if that’s what you want, go for it. It’s more for bragging rights than anything else, but I’m not hating if that’s your thing. Keep what you’ve got if you like it. Saying the new taco is underpowered tells me you’re not serious and you definitely haven’t driven one. I’m not making it up when I say it is literally better in every way! It has a smaller gas tank… I get the same miles per tank as I did in my ‘22. Moot point. Everything else is an improvement. Frame, transmission, motor, suspension, interior, even the fit and finish is better than my gen 3 (also built in Mexico btw).

It’s not the most appealing thing in the world, kind of reminds me of when the bronco came out

😂 people whine about the plastic covers, they remove the plastic cover, people whine about not having covers now… and on and on! I wouldn’t have minded if they’d kept the cover, but who actually cares?!

@@kevinbradley8613 this truck just seems controversial but I guess every vehicle is anymore

I have no bias whatsoever. I think it’s a cool truck and that’s just a matter of opinion. As I stated this isn’t my truck but also in my opinion it’s better than spending 90k on a diesel. Thanks for the comment I hope you have a great rest of your day

@@Bmstaudy I spent 53k on a 2024 Colorado ZR2. Just teasing. But the Colorado 100% isn’t worth that price tag either. It is a better deal that these Toyotas I’ll tell ya that much

@@Vec135 if you’ve seen my other videos you might have noticed I’m a huge gm fan! I love the Colorados more than anything and the zr2s the most what engines in yours?

@@Bmstaudy 2.7 4cyl turbo

@@Vec135 I didn’t realize they don’t come with the v6 or the 2.8 duramax anymore. I love those 2.7s they’re so stout sounds like you got a fantastic truck on your hands I hope you enjoy it every chance you get!

If you get the cheapest version it can be an affordable truck, and tell me a Toyota that has been unreliable, nothing certain but I’m confident in these trucks

Give it time when that turbo goes. My friend regrets his new taco😅. Hopefully nothing goes wrong your friends truck

@@benladin626 it must be hit or miss I have a couple friends that are problem free so fingers crossed

​@@Bmstaudy Have you not seen the issues with the tundra?

@@itsmeagain19 I’ve heard things here and there

Just don’t crash 😂

That’s the plan everything looks good currently every year they get more rare

Yeah the 0-60 from the manufacturer is pretty impossible to achieve! Love these cars though thanks for the comment 🤝🏻

@@Bmstaudy No problem! 😊

Oh I am, my end goal is 250,000. Thank you for the comment!

I love the light gray interiors, is it a silver car?

@@Bmstaudy It's red like yours.

@@jimlubinski4731 beautiful spec!

Cannot go wrong with the 3800 absolutely love those engines been around them my entire life. These cars are amazing, and I’m glad you liked the video and thanks for leaving this thoughtful comment!

Love the support ❤️

I agree things you never would think about searching this hard for. Thanks for watching it means a lot!

It came with a plugin tune when I bought the car

@@Bmstaudy cool, it appears that hardware upgrades might not be necessary then; def makes me want to seek out the 5.3 now

@@eldridgederring9325 I think you’re gonna like the 5.3!

@@eldridgederring9325 Got a super clean one with 83,000 miles for $9500 firm, here in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Brought it here from California, and she is immaculate !!

I hear that a lot, the fwd does make it drive really well in bad conditions

@Bmstaudy it's the styling that looks like it should've been rwd, not only that, it could have also been offered as a coupe

@@johnnysalazar5399 I agree I think the Monte Carlo ss with the ls4 looks great as a coupe

They really are thanks for commenting and checking out the videos!

You already know…

I’ll keep that in mind thanks for the helpful info!!

@@Bmstaudy No worries, i'm not usually a fan of additives but mine was slamming into gear from red lights and it has completely stopped it for the past 6000km.. the 5.3 was definitely quite a bit overpowered for these transmissions, very sweet car though it looks clean.

@@ryanfaulkes7469 how many kilometers are on your car?

I would search multiple sites and be patient these cars are definitely worth it in the long run, good luck!

I've got one for sale now with only 83,000 miles, $9500 firm. Fayetteville, Arkansas

I would recommend it. I’m very happy with the car so far, it’s been a great daily!

I agree the supers seem to have held their value the most consistent of all ls4 cars and I think the luxury helps. I love the lacrosse 3800 I just sold my le sabre with 270,000 on the clock. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Thank you, I appreciate that. GM was throwing performance models on everything before bankruptcy😂

I agree, really doesn’t look too assuming. Thanks for watching!

The price seems pretty decent, although if you can I would still attempt to talk to buyer down a little more. At that mileage though I would check for any excessive lifter noise, and I know the camshaft position sensors on these are know to go bad and are difficult to replace. To rebuilt the transmission the previous owner to my car spent $3,000, and that’s money you’re not going to get back. Honestly I would be hesitant just because it’s hard to know all the previous maintenance and what’s been done/ what needs to be done. Don’t let me talk you out of it, if the car is something you really want, but I hope this helps!

@Bmstaudy it definitely helps I appreciate it thank you for the info.

What a horrifying story

I agree with you, Staudy, that story does sound horrifying.

Also, it's really a tragic story.

If you’re looking for the cheapest way to tune it’d probably be a tuner/programmer!

Yeah I’m a big fan of the spec I really enjoy the car so far!

@Bmstaudy That's awesome! Looking forward to seeing more videos of this gem! I forgot to mention I have the rarer 2009 black lacrosse super. 1 of 123 ever made! The last 16 were allure supers for the canadian market. I also scooped up a mocha bronze 2008 lacrosse super that my dad daily drives! It has 215k and the black one has I want say 147k last I looked!

@@jacobfountain8063 starting may when I get the vette back out I’ll be making tons of videos of both! I think I’ve seen your two supers in a fb group!

@@Bmstaudy Yess that is us! 😌🙌

Mine was a decent amount of highway driving, hopefully I get around 18 😂

Love the 3800s I had one with 270,000 miles (432,000 kilometers) and only got rid of it because of rust, thanks for sharing!

...and even my American self knows why 'Lacrosse' would be.... well..... problematic in Quebec! 😂
