One of the best videos I’ve seen. Thanks guys.
Also you should consider doing a video comparing the second gen sequoia versus the new grand highlander. I think you’ll be surprised about the interior spaces!
@@americandude3825 We did that comparison already! th-cam.com/video/ZVXReo5CdLQ/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUbc2VxdW9pYSB2cyBncmFuZCBoaWdobGFuZGVy
Hi there...thank you for the video. Do you have any insight into the fact that some videos show the TRD Sport with a black hood scoop and others show a body-colored scoop? I would love to find some documentation that mentions if the color variance is package-based or if this is simply a pre-production vs production issue. Thank you for your time!
Excellent review as per usual!😸
If you want an off-roader with all the axle, sway bar tech and crawl control, downhill descent, better ground clearance, etc., then get the TRD Off Road. If you want better highway ride and handling with minimal off road capability and a little better pricing get the TRD Sport.
Do you have any insight on the handling comfort of the sport vs sr5?
Fantastic work, y’all! I really enjoy all your videos! The level of polish and thoroughness y’all have would only be expected from a channel that has million dollar operating costs. Although at about 14:30 you just about lost your composure. Lol! I just cracked up! Let me give you a “tip.” Keep little flubs like that in your content or on a blooper reel. That was priceless, but more importantly it shows the human connection that reminds us that y’all are just a couple of good ol’ Kentucky boys who create content because you love it, not because you have to. I’m a good ol’ Kentucky boy myself. I grew up in London and went to school at Eastern. I’ve been in Nashville since ‘95, but still get back home some. My folks still live in London. Keep up the good work! We love watching your content!
Thanks so much! We appreciate the kind words 😁
This review really helped answer some questions regarding options I thought would only be available on the TRD Pro or limited. So nice to see a sport with leather & ventilated seats huge win for me not to mention the manual option that’s pretty sweet! Moon roof and HD rear view mirror Nioce! 👌
Great Job on this video
I’m getting the sports one as well thank for video
Great informative video Drew and Mason! I like the looks of the new Tacoma. However I’m still quite skeptical of the new 2.4 turbo engine! I suppose I’ll warm up to it. Just not convinced yet. Mark in Iowa.
Good reason to be skeptical! Small engine 2.4L turbo probably 20+lbs of boost pulling a truck that weighs basically 5,000lbs not a good combo. These people can tell me/you whatever they want as many times but bigger motor is better for larger vehicles especially if you're going to be towing you'd be working that 4 banger so hard
It’s very nice!! I like the blue and blue interior
They just came out swinging with the prices, too high IMO.
I want to get one of these but the price I’m better off getting a used 22-23 Tundra SR5
If they just drop that price down just right it’ll be perfect. I understand people be saying if you work hard you can afford it, but come on we already being hammered with everything else rising in cost
@@anthonydavis191 I agree. I just think a mid size and full size truck like tundra and Tacoma shouldn’t be this close in pricing. Some Tacoma trims are more expensive than some Tundras. Makes the market super confusing
@@Cmatt1299exactly when going mid size you looking at paying under what full size is not over, understanding they did put a lot in the Tacoma but pushing the price to far out of an average buyers reach is just mind boggling
So true, with loan interest rates above 5% it’s just not doable for most buyers.
Toyota gonna have to offer 0.9-2.9% financing to move volume
Great video. Can you remove that huge handle on the console? Is the handle present on the automatic transmission versions? Also, is a 6' bed available with a four door version?
Really looking into a Tacoma. Wanted a Toyota truck since 1990. Never bought one. Now my suburban turned 12. No issues that are pressing, but a new vehicle is always fun. I’ll keep debating in my mind lol
Wow. Toyota did an amazing job with the redesign. Very brawny and substantial looking compared to the previous generation.
3rd gen looks unique & BETTER 4th gen looks like a mini Tundra 🤷
@@honda116969totally agree. Glad I just got a 3rd gen
@@honda116969
Lol you must own a 3rd gen.
@@ruthnoya8424 damn, how'd you guess? 😂
What a beauty.
I just today ordered a sport with all the options. Traded in my current ride and got 46 for it so the sport is only out of pocket about 9k. Since I had to order and build this truck delivery is about 6 weeks out.
Hey what color do your buttons all light up at night? Are they still blue?
The red has just the spec I want
Will this trim get diff lock & sway bar disconnect?
ABSOLUTELY YES THE 2024 TACOMA IS THE #1 COMPACT PICKUP TO BUY!!!!!!!!
Is the 2024 sport worth the money, I was torn between this and the f 150 twin turbo v6
this is not the finished model but i was curious that all the sport models will have interior color that matches the exterior which i like the blue tacoma in the video had it but the red one did not and i like the red color of this tacoma. will it have the red interior color as well? hopefully ill probably consider this over the 2024 jeep gladiator the new grill just puts me off.
Wonderful and insightful video. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on the 2024 M/T Sport. I was concerned about the potential sub par cabin noise. I will test drive, but do you men feel like it’s a comfortable ride? Thanks again.
We do think it’s better than the previous generation, but it won’t be a Lexus at the end of the day! Causal accelerations should be pretty quiet. Good luck on the purchase!
So I just ordered my Tacoma Sport, with the equipment upgrade in that awesome orange color today. I'm super excited. I can't find anything, but is the hybrid a plug in? I have a 2023 Jeep 4Xe and I hate the plug in aspect.
The price
Just wondering how would the knee function come in handy? If your closing it, how would your hands still be full. Love the video.
Probably when you take things out of the bed, then your hands could be full, and the knee closing function would come in play.
14:35 reallyyyyyyyy 😂😂😂😂
LMAO, I caught that too😂😂😂😂
Me running to the comments 😂😂😂
First he's talking about six inches then just the tip.......
I love the new Tacomas! Would love to have one but the price is above my pay grade. I have a 2018 Tacoma SR5 and I build the new one with the same configuration on the website. It was over 40K and I bought mines at 32K.
Couldn’t agree more - 40k for a midsize?
@@RealCarlosJr This TRD sport 4x4 double cab MSRP is $53K! This same truck with a V6 was $30K 10 years ago.
@@racerex340 agreed! Even the Tundra is 65 and up pretty much! CRAZY!
Is this the only model with the back window opening?
This or the limited are the ideal ones the Trd pro is awesome but it’s just a bunch of stuff. People never actually use that you’re paying good money for that you could actually pocket and use for upgrades on a regular Trd sport for things you might actually use like an engine tune 😁 although I reckon these, could be really tricky to tune with that hybrid set up. Not sure how that will work. it could make tuning super fun or could make it impossible or a nightmare. I guess we’ll find out. but I have a lot of faith in the car community. They figure out a way to make everything more powerful than factory
Maybe next gen 4runner is a short off-road SUV based on Tacoma frame
Dang a stick shift in 2024 nice!!
It’s a little Tundra. Skeptical of the new engine - will need to watch. I have a 3rd generation. Not sure if I’ll upgrade to the 4th gen (also seems smaller). Maybe a Tundra next.
Does toyota have remote start in any of their car?
Rear seat space is a huge disppointment
If u want a usable back seat, get a full size truck
Honda Ridgeline.
Honda Ridgeline. @@normanli7085
Does that TV come off?
Just bought one but I got a really nice payment set up their prices are radiculous but I have a feeling I’ll never need another vehicle
Where are the cup holders??
Amazing video guys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect I’m going get one
For me the sport would be more than sufficient. I’m not taking a 50k truck off road and I do not need crawl control etc….
Do you have to upgrade to the Limited to get the Heads-up Display?
Yes
We need a Tacoma\Ranger head to head
I bought a Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 back in 2007 and still have it with over 306,000 miles. I bought Sport trim just because the hood scoop looked great and never ever thought about going off pavement. BUT never again. My next one will be an Offroad trim with factory rear locker. Buy the trim with the rear locker even if it's for your work. You might be in a situation where you might need to drive over sketchy off pavement places. Extra fun and security when you go overlanding or off roading. Yes, you can install aftermarket lockers but more $ and maintenance, plus less reliable. Besides, Offroad trim comes with many more offroading features other than rear locker. Lastly, factory ride quality doesn't mean much if you are going to switch out the suspension and lift it in the future.
question how much maintence have you had to do with your truck. As far as just keeping it reliable ive never own one and i am looking to buy a 23 to 24
The GMC/Chevy is much nicer IMO.
In terms of the old quality argument … nobody can say (as a factual statement) what truck will be most reliable, as Ford, GM, & Toyota bring these new gen mid-size trucks to market.
Save the manuals, go Toyota ❤
What engine option gives the best mpg?
The hybrid should. Once it comes out, we will confirm
Me gusta la caja Manual , 6 velocidades👍
Yeah, that air dam is coming off as soon as i bring it home. It is hideous and looks like it will snap off in snow and trails.
Man that air dam is hideous.
How tall are you? Trying to gauge the height of the truck?
They mentioned 5’8” and 5’9” in the video
@NinerK ok yes I went back and caught that. The 24 seems much taller than the 23?
@@rhodeislandfirearmsownersl9916 yes, I’ve seen videos that state the cab is talller
I can’t wait to test drive the 24 Tacoma and check the rear legroom.
@NinerK yeah the hood seems taller as well. I'm 5'11" and my 2009 has 33's with a 2.75 inch lift and seems to be the same dimensions as the 24. (Hood height) Just trying to see if I even need to lift the 24. Mine is slated for mid February.
Did you prefer the manual or auto?
Automatic makes more sense to us for day-to-day since a Tacoma is not a sports car
POS now! Ppl bought the Tacoma cause of reliability I guarantee you with the same maintenance V6 VS the inline 4-banger turbo 150k for the new truck before major repairs 300K or more on the V-6! Look up 300,000 mi Tacoma there's a guy with a 2018 manual transmission has had that truck loaded down, road hard put away wet & still running like a top!
Yeah, too much added here. The old non-turbo 4cyl even have gone 1 million miles in Tacomas and were made for over 20 years. I prefer the 3rd gen at this time, who knows, maybe in 2025 they will make them non-turbo again.
@@rrrttt1112yeah that 2.7L was a 🐢💨 but would run forever reliable AF... & after nobody buys this new trash 🗑️& 10K more they (Toyota) bumped their head hella hard 😂
Oh, the Toyota Tacoma! It's a popular choice for those who love adventure and off-roading. The Tacoma offers great durability, capability, and a rugged design. Whether you're exploring the great outdoors or cruising around the city, the Tacoma is a reliable and versatile choice. 🚙💨
Bot
Maybe number 2, as my Ridgeline trucks are number one and reasons include fact most of my commute is on normal roads, things I bring is occasional piece of furniture or appliances or electronics like TV larger than 68" as I just bought 68" TV and it fits in my 2023 integra no problem and could have fit 3 of them, the spring cleaning garbage and occasionally rent haul trailer to help bring items for family. My off-road use is no issues with Nokian at winter rated tires.
Rubber maid…plasticky front ends and hoods are still way too high. Time will tell if the new drive train holds up. Toyota has seemed to go with a Tonka Truck theme on the interiors of their vehicles. Not in love with it ( I have owned many Tacos) I don’t hate it either. Indifferent tbh. I dont think quite measures up to the new Canyon though. Will be interesting to see how the new Ranger compares. Thanks for the content boys.
Great technology and interior updates! Kinda disappointed that Toyota dropped their bulletproof V6 and adopted a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine system. It won’t haul as much as its previous models and longevity wouldn’t be as great.
Seeing how Toyota already has issues with their new Tundra and Sequoia models just makes me iffy about their decision to phase out their naturally aspirated engines. I guess Toyota wants to get the EPA off their backs 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, I will buy this new 2024 Toyota Tacoma.
How are you going to tease us going from a manual to an auto like that?
Sorry, the events can be brutal with how often they want you to switch vehicles
@@CarConfections I don’t mean to be heckling from the cheap seats. Love your work, thanks for all the videos.
How could I afford one 😮 $52k I would just get a used 2023 tundra , and they still don’t add a rear vents for the passengers, come on Tacoma ????
After seeing the price dealers are now charging i see a lot of buyers remorse with these new trucks. 55k+ is just too much for a mid size truck. The first couple years toyota will make out like a bandit and then the more financially smart folks will wait for the good deals bringing down the insane price is my prediction. Seems to happen like this across all brands.
Love the truck, the color, hate the price.......
$55k for a Tacoma off-road blows my mind. Ridiculous prices.
Really like the front, but not the back. Overall, a decent redesign. Still prefer the 3rd generation. The 4-cylinder turbo is a deal breaker for me.
Tacoma sales not going down because a handful of people want to bitch and cry about a V6
@@StarInfinite00 When you look at the troubled launch of the new generation Tundra, there's plenty of reason to ''bitch'' about this new design, and not just the loss of the v6.
@@phw2274 There's always problems with new generations in every car brand. If you are smart enough to look at data. It's literally been 2 years of the new design. People like you who bitch and overreact are the issue. The new Rav4 generation had major issues in 2019, they fixed it now it's one of the most reliable so your point is invalid for long term perspectives.
@@StarInfinite00 Maybe the reason I "bitch" as you say is because I bought a first generation Toyota because of the perceived reliability of the brand. By 78,000 miles I had replaced the transmission two times, the radiator, air conditioning compressor, power rear door motor, etc. I realize I got a "bad" one. Therfore my reason for "bitching" is from personal experience and well deserved. I still think they are a good brand. But I'll never buy another. That left a very bad impression on me. Good luck on those 4cyl turbos.
That stupid handle on the right of the shifter makes absolutely no sense.
Should have placed that handle to the driver side to assist getting in 😏
I just went to test drive one and asked for the price, 51,000?!!!
Try to buy a Ford truck for that price!!!
Toyota: it’s more than 40k to buy but we will take 60k for it.
40k you taking g about cup holders.
Holy shit Its a manual! Please send to NZ to replace dinosaur Hilux.
You can't fold down the rear sets anymore??????? This truck is not as good as the Gen 3's! That 4 cy turbo won't hold up like the V6 in the long run...Turbo engine's are well known for failing!
Do you know what's funny? Toyota kept playing games telling everyone that those plastic trim are just a prototype but if you check the production models they are indeed all hard plastic
anyone coming down that road??
Don't fret, it was completely closed haha
I hate sun roofs
I had a corolla with a sunroof and it stopped working and rusting. and was getting water stains in my ceiling liner. I never used the sunroof for this reason.
Prices are way too much for a midsize truck. I’ll wait 4 years for a used one after the depreciation.
Hey toyota, learn from Ford , Dodge, any Gm. If you over price your vehicles. Your gonna miss 60% of your buyers. Trust me, not everyone has a 6 figure job. And can't afford $ 1,200 a month payment.
Not the sport, but the off road 😅😊
The Tacoma to buy is a 3rd Generation with a V-6 engine.
Price too damn high bro
I got nothing to say about this truck except it’s too expensive and I hate that big handle by the shifter!!!! Us chocolate queens with the bootylicious cakes ain’t got no time for trucks like this!!!!
“Looks phenomenal”?? I would say that’s a phenomenal stretch of a description.
Goofy price. Please stop buying new trucks until manufacturers get a clue.
It’s not full LED headlamps if the turn signals are incandescent
Yeah,.......no. What a ridiculous statement, you should be a politician!
I really hate that bottom front bib! I will take the hit on the 0.5 percent in fuel per tank. Because it is ugly having there. The TRD off road has it too! Ugliest air dam ever!
It needs a supercharged V8
This guy doesn't know his left from his right. He showed a standard transmission and then test drove the automatic.
It’s called having a different vehicle to test drive, we had to switch. We can drive manual by the way
This thing isn’t ever going to come out! I’ve got a ‘23 Tacoma and I can’t wait to get rid of it. Ford is the only maker that is coming out with a 6 cylinder so that’s probably where I’ll go next. It most assuredly WON’T be any more Toyotas. 👍
Actually the Nissan ProX4 has a V6. Much better price and has a rear locker. Very off road capable. Ford has had more recalls than any other brand, even Stellantis, for the past two years.
@@lc7192 true. I forgot about Nissan, I tested them before I bought this Tacoma, just got a better deal on the Toyota and I thought I would like it better than I did.
@@danav3387 Having a tried and true Nissan Frontier with proper 310 hp 6 cyl, 9 speed transmission, electronic locker, impeccable road manners and quietness, is a true truck in my opinion.
Good luck with those transmissions
Buh bye. 👋
next time can you please also include a child seat on your review to this truck..
Why does toyota give every reviewer a manual truck lol kinda weird
Key fob looks too cheap
It looks like a chevy
The old truck looks nicer then this one
Oh boy!! There are improvements that are nice but the 4 cyl turbo is a huge problem. You are killing the dependability and reliability. You can't add all those extra parts and all that extra heat and not kill the long term expense totals. The 2023's are now 10,000 cheaper for the same truck. I will break it down! 2023's are being discounted 3,500 - 6,000 and the new trucks are about 3800 - 4500 more plus some dealers are marking them up. I would rather have a 2023 without turbo and for 10,000 less. Have you seen the 2024 engine bay it's a HOT MESS. All this for 2MPG increase.
Toyota needs to stop building their trucks with cheap plastics.
way too much $$$ ill keep my 15 sport
Save some money son! 😂
Over priced
This truck is an absolute disgrace for Toyota. The interior is horrible everything is plastic not soft plastic hard plastic everywhere it feels so cheap pictures blows my mind away how they can make this look and feel so cheap I took one for a test ride and I also took out the 2023 model what a difference the 2023 model felt way more solid didn't feel like a little toy it felt like a truck you going to this new one, the whole thing is hard plastic pieces that are just snapped together and on the new one when I would hit a bump with the vehicle the hood would move on it because it is so light very cheap in the hood was locked on but every time the truck hit a bump the whole Hood would Shake the 2023 model the hood is heavier much more solid didn't shake it didn't even move, the buttons on the lights for the tailgate is a joke more to break and if anybody cracks or breaks the backlight accidents happen think how much money it's going to cost to replace that now since there's an electronic button inside big money to replace that all in the name of laziness give me a break, and the one I had was the TRD sport premium the sound system sounded like crap absolute garbage lose my mind away if I was the CEO of Toyota this thing would never hit the market absolutely never would have been at least some soft touch plastic a better premium feel a real hood that doesn't move and a real motor. Let's be honest with ourselves the safety features let's call them what they are more Electronics to break we never needed them since the cars have been invented and we don't need them now all they do is put the price up on the vehicle total waste of money there should be an option that if you don't want any of these features you don't have to get them if you just want a regular truck that should be an option, and if you want a truck for a princess then you go with the premium model I would call it the Princess model buy the old degeneration this thing is a joke!!!!!
The hood scoop is fake and childish, too expensive. Buy the base model. Save your money.
Is not number one Toyota Tacoma with four cylinder sucks i want the V6 yes tundra lookalike you know why Toyota USA is to lazy to make it one of a kind
No. It’s a 4 banger.
