Those seats are atrocious for leg space at the back.. They should be an option IMO, not stock. Just for that and that alone, I'd get the Ford Raptor over this. Oh and not at those prices.. Shave a solid $30k off both.
The price aint doing it. No front locker and current engine problems (2.4L i Force) Ranger Raptor has more ground clearance and a front locker and a V6 with less stress on it.
Nice and beautiful truck, There is only one tiny little problem... Over $70000 for a 4 cylinder truck, that sounds like a small little yaris not even a corolla, please come on. They are stealing people's money with those type of seats.
Yea long travel suspension would have been better. Pretty sure those suspension seats got banned from baja racing because they were snapping spines after landing jumps...not that it mattered when less then 5% of Pro owners will be off-roading.
Ranger Raptor is infinitely better. Get a twin turbo V6 putting out considerable more HP, actually has a backseat (the gimmicky seat absorbers are a joke...right?), and those gloss black fender flares are not going to hold up after off-roading a couple times. Ford for the win, plus it's 10k cheaper than the Tacoma TRD Pro.
Complete gimmick truck. I'm a Toyota fan, but this thing is the most underwhelming, ridiculous, overpriced Toyota to come out in a long while. I'll stick to my 4Runner.
@@chrism869 right and it’s small af and has an econo box powertrain. You can get a well equipped full size truck that is superior at absolutely everything except for fitting in parking spots for the same price
If you think it’s too expensive, don’t buy it. Don’t worry about other people and what they do with their money. I picked up a TRD Off Road (TRD Amateur) yesterday for $6,500 off MSRP, so they’re making deals. ❤
The PreRunner was the coolest in the lineup imo. The half cab with the lockable storage, specced with a 6ft bed for a small bed camper + pop up camper would be the dream.
Not that anyone buying this thing cares about saving money…but that seat pump looks like a mountain bike shock pump. Buy one of those instead of whatever ridiculous price Toyota will charge for a new seat pump.
Hey boys, I'm back on this video humbly requesting the E46 M3 Tee. -- GREAT video as always! Love you guys! (p.s. if u want to use my e46 to debut the tee you're more than welcome to ;) its mint and clean.
I'd rather have a roomy and comfortable 4 seater than front suspension seats. Seems a little impractical considering every other off-road vehicle manages just fine without em.
Always thought it was weird that the flagship models are limited in colors. You would think spending so much money as earned you the right to pick whatever available colors you want. Also who greenlit diarrhea brown for the TRD pro exclusive color? Lmo
it would've been better if they did the entire line-up up the 4 cylinder and hybrid, but have both the TRD and Trail hunter be an 6 cylinder hybrid or just a strait 6 cylinder.
Toyota truck family here, several with over 300K. Recently purchased Bronze Oxide TRD Sport non-hybrid. Paid $48K USD with 14" screen and Sport upgrade. Didn't want sunroof or the bad Toyota fake leather. Plan to keep it "forever". Never go off-road, don't tow, pure pavement and dirt road motorcycle hauling. Seeing 20.2 mpg mixed driving. Sorry, don't know what that converts to "Canaaaadian" (said in Yuri's voice). The back seat is not for passengers: great for keeping bike gear out of the elements, bad for hauling humans with legs. Guessing the Pro's seats would make the near-useless back compartment wasted space other than doing a Straight Pipes old school box test. I'm diehard Toyota, but for the Pro's intended use of high speed rough off-roading - and not pure pavement use that I'm guessing most will be used for (driving to craft beer store, going to Influencer party at sunset parked next to Sprinter vans) - I would purchase an older Tacoma or mod a supposedly-less-reliable Ranger Raptor.
@@ArtieMcYardie Nope. There arent. The only one I've seen blown up is where the customer managed to crack the skid plate, oil pan, put a hole in the diff and completely shred the axle boots. Not covered under warranty.
That TRD Pro looks great IMO, but that MSRP is stupid as hell
I’ll be driving my VW Cräpvagon forever. New car/truck prices are for rich Richards.
Over the past 3 years the dollar has lost a staggering 17% of its value. That’s part of the problem.

Never thought i'd see the day a Tacoma would cost $80,000 after tax.
Wow, no point in having rear doors or seats with front seats like that. That's horrible. Silly gimmick.
Ought to be a 2 door with a little cargo space. Back seat is an insult
@@rickyaz8640 Right? Make that an option so the 98% of the buyers have a functional rear seat.
How often do you ever have 4 people in the car
@@tuckerhiggins4336There's a reason crew cab trucks exist...
@@tuckerhiggins4336 It's a truck. And a lot of family people buy 4 door trucks for the room on top of the cargo capabilities. Not this one.
As a new owner of a 2005 V8 4Runner, the only thing that appeals to me about these new ones is the fact that they're rust-free

Those seats are dumb and the delay from you matting the pedal and the truck going is absurd.

No front locking differential in most off-road capable trucks? No, thank you.
I’ll take the Ranger and savings over the Taco. Toyota is getting a little too bold with their pricing.
Great review as always. Thanks guys!
Looks nice but for that price just get a Tundra
But Tundra TRD Pro is over 80k lol

Looks really good imo, but can't imagine who in their right mind would buy one. That's luxury trim full size truck money
I don't understand why somebody would spend 20 to $30,000 more for a ranger raptor and a TRD pro over a ZR2.
Gonna say it from the outset: overpriced and already smashed by the Ford Ranger Raptor.
Let's see a Frontier now.
@@JB50713 hey what’s up troll plenty of videos to watch on the frontier more than welcome to go on there, this one is about the Tacoma, troll
@@ArtieMcYardie Relax bro. Just wanted to see them review it back to back. Has nothing to do with brand preference. Take a couple deep breaths friend.
Ranger Raptor for 60K is a steal compared to this.
Complete gimmick truck. I'm a Toyota fan, but this thing is the most underwhelming, ridiculous, overpriced Toyota to come out in a long while. I'll stick to my 4Runner.
I just bought a trd pro and it came with a trophy that says 'Dumbest person in the world for spending 65k on a 4 cylinder tacoma".
The seat pump is a mountain bike shock pump from Fox. Seems gimmicky and something to charge a lot of extra dough for.
They are trying WAY too hard with this new "styling". They can also stick their 4cyl turbos.
why is this $25k more than a trd off road? lmfao when the zr2 is only $6k more than the z71 or trail boss
Cool truck but not $67k cool.
Yeah maybe 47 cool
This is top trim TRD pro
@@chrism869 right and it’s small af and has an econo box powertrain. You can get a well equipped full size truck that is superior at absolutely everything except for fitting in parking spots for the same price
Don't like the engine that Toyota offers, Nissan Frontier imo is a better buy now.
I can’t think of a world where I’d choose this over a Ranger Raptor.
RIP RANGER yea I think not!
The Trail hunter is a better option for most people TBH.
Yuri. Get a foam roller and roll your butt, side cheeks, glutes & lower back. It hurts like hell.. Also do banded squats to fix your Sciatica.
lol

2025 Tacoma TRD Pro Wish List
1. Make the bouncy seats optional.
2. Optional 3.4L V6 TT from the Tundra.
RIP tacoma reliability. Ranger engine is at least proven
you seriously doubt a Toyota engine?
False. My Ford Ranger Raptor has already bit the dust, and I have Tacoma TRD Pro now.
Ford is the most recalled brand of 2024.
The PreRunner was the coolest in the lineup imo. The half cab with the lockable storage, specced with a 6ft bed for a small bed camper + pop up camper would be the dream.

One of those early jump cuts could have been J trying to fit behind his driving position.

I would love to get my 2021 Kia forte GT front end on a shirt!!! I’d buy a bunch of them!!
RIP TOYOTA TACOMA 1995-2023
This is the end of Tacoma as A real value and long lasting light pickup truck.
it would've been better if they did the entire line-up up the 4 cylinder and hybrid, but have both the TRD and Trail hunter be an 6 cylinder hybrid or just a strait 6 cylinder.
Mid size trucks over $60,000 must be normal nowadays?!
Make a Luxury EXport US shirt Yuri!
6'11/2" CLUB! 😎
I hope this TRD Pro pickup spec drips down to the smaller HILUX line
Wild price for a mid size. Is the paint already full of swirls too? Damn..
no bump stops, no back seat room, no toyota durability. PASS
The price is the problem.
The reason trucks have large knobs is so you can move and use them while wearing gloves 15:34
Whew! Got here Early
I dunno man ... I much rather have a 10 year old Tacoma with the 4L V6 over this.
Audi will also not let you match red interior to red or green exterior, IIRC.
It looks insanely better than ranger raptor tho. like objectively
Another great video from my favorite creator!
this is a meme of a vehicle. It doesnt even have proper bump stops
the infotainment sys is not optimized for the new larger screen yet
I got a RR for msrp and absolutely love it
Came for the Toyota haters. Not disappointed.
Frontier Pro 4X is still my choice! Best in the class
But we’re not talking about that truck in this video

if you wanted to keep it forever, should have gotten a 3rd gen. same MPG, better offroad ability, better room inside, actually has bumpstops.
I Like Tacoma trd but I like the trail hunter even more
like for the video, awesome. but seats are silly.
Overpriced, let's go Brandon
Can be yours for only $89,000. Includes three free oil changes. lol
I just checked Edmunds. Almost all Tacoma TRD Pro’s were high 60’s with a few at $70k
Anyone else think of turd when they sew TRD
Looks better snd more badass than the Ford imo
Can you make an Fj cruiser shirt?
5:50 “nice” had me cracking up😂😂
Looks, the tacoma looks 10x better.
No V6 and to much good bye toyota 😂😂😂
5:49 "nice" he says after severe whiplash
Old BMW M2 CS for the shirt
Imagine reviewing a TRD Pro and never leaving asphalt
Did we watch the same video?
too much for a 4 cylinder
Honda Ridgeline is the best
80k lmao.. yeah no
Those seats would be a deal breaker for me.
This is a single man’s truck nobody is buying a Tacoma for backseat space or to haul a family.
I love you guys so much
Why can’t you call it a snorkel? I’m confused.
Not water tight
@@TheStraightPipes dang for that kind of money they should’ve totally made it a snorkel

There are reports about the Tacoma engines blowing up?
