- With over 200,000 units sold annually, the #ToyotaTacoma is the best-selling midsize pickup truck in the USA. For the all-new 4th generation truck, #Toyota has given the latest #Tacoma a comprehensive full redesign. We got our hands on all of the non-hybrid trims this year, but focused primarily on the #TacomaTRDSport and #TacomaTRDOffRoad which Toyota says are the most popular trims of this new truck.

Kicking off Taco Tuesday right with our full review on a brand new Taco 🌮! We also drove a 6-speed MT equipped truck during the driving scene. Toyota says the I-Force MAX hybrid powertrain will be on sale in the Spring of 2024 and we’ll be driving it around the same time.
did any of the channels get to drive the limited tacoma yet?
Thank you and your camera man for smartly shooting the video where you're taking up 1/3 of the frame. The truck takes up 1/3 of the frame and the written specs take up 1/3 of the frame. This is helpful to viewers. Please make this the standard for all of your reviews.
Wish they had introduced buying directly from the manufacturer for this model. The dealer shenanigans andmarkups are going to be criminal.
Don’t pay it and it stops. It’s dumb customers that say yes!!!
My favorite TH-cam reviewer here. Always comprehensive and no nonsense. Those rears seats in any small trucks are borderline useless except for kids maybe for emergency short trips. While off topic, all the manufacturers should have a rear seat delete option in their extended cab versions configured with some type of lockable storage.
Love my mans he’s an amazing reviewer. But absolutely NO WAY that’s his actual driving position 😂😂😂 I literally think he even moved the seat up during the driving portion, look at the side pillar position 😅
Love this guy but I also love Alex on Autos
They literally make everybody wait to post the video so many popped up at one time I was waiting to see which one to click on nice truck though 😎
My page is full of TRD reviews today. Had to come straight to this channel for the best review 😎
As always, great review!😀
The way Rob looked at you when you were shifting 😂😂😂😂
As always, great review!
Probably one of the best description of a vehicle on TH-cam. 👍
As always, very detailed and well-produced. Looks like your passenger had to hold back the laughter while you drove the manual. Loved it. Sadly, manuals aren’t no longer available for those who like a standard bed size.
Thanks Sofryan! Great review as always
The best reviews by far.
Idk how many takes you do. But it's impressive how you can spit out all these stats and everything without messing up
Your shifting 0-60 in the stick cracked me up! Lol Even Rob the Toyota ride along was trying to hide.
Its manual is not meant to shift hard and fast. This is another reason why they don’t put higher HP on the manuals. Parts in transmission would break and Toyota would have to warranty.
@@ryanb8736everyone is saying he can’t drive
Great review as usual👍🏿!
Great job again ❤
Awesome review! Hi! Rob Lamond! Are you always taking the video? He never gives you a chance, to get a word in edgewise huh? lol
Congratulations Toyota! You’ve alienated a life long Tacoma buyer. There was literally nothing wrong with the 2.7ltr 4cyl. Great gas mileage and bulletproof. You can keep your boosted POS!
Embargo lifted. You're one of the first I'm going to for the review tho!
I definitely like the transmission with more gears and the dashboard, plus the overall design. Toyota dropped the ball on rear interior space and rear storage, something that is needed for a small truck, because certain things people don’t want to put in the bed.
And no rear vents. That's a deal killer for me
The old V6 was a short stroke engine. It is a very reliable engine. It likes high revs, that is where it shines. but the 6 speed auto with the flex converter (which half unlocks and full unlocks) is always shifting locking and unlocking trying to keep the RPM's low for fuel mileage. I find in the hills, I can keep the shifting to a minimum with my foot on the gas peddle, better than the cruise which is too slow to respond.
I wouldn't be surprised if mid-tier models sell for well into the $50k range due to options, accessories and dealer markups for that 1st year (when demand will exceed supply).
Between this review and the car care nut review, this is all I need to know everything there is to know about the new taco.
Who would of thought that now a Nissan truck would be the most reliable in this segment.V-6 for the win.
My thoughts exactly. I would have never moved from V6. The new generation of forced induction, smart timing, and GDI is trying to squeeze the most HP out of each cylinder.
@@buzztruckerthese decisions are made by politicians not Toyota. Car companies no longer sell what people need or want they sell what the government regulates them into selling. If this bothers people they should really get more aware and involved.
your choice now is buy used or 4r which still has the 4.0
Toyota would prefer to give us diesel and V6-- the rest of the world and the Aussies still got them in diesel. Blame the strict EPA rule. Basically they can't even if they want to.
Depending on the Power output numbers (0-60) it might be enough to trade the wrx in for one. In every single metric compared to the past truck, it is better. They did a great job. I wonder how reliable the powertrain is, especially since Lexus already uses it currently in its line up.
Difference is in Lexus you don’t tow or carry stuff in bed.
As a 3rd gen Tacoma owner, I don't think Toyota did enough to beat out the Colorado or Canyon.
My friend has the new canyon and has nothing but recalls and electrical issues.
Minus the fact that the new Tacoma is going to be more reliable than the Colorado or the Canyon.
You’re also not comparing the Tacoma’s top of the line vs GMs. Wait for the TRD pro.
GM has tons of recalls on it though. It does look better and better fit and finish though. Never thought I would say that about GM, but Toyota is not that impressive anymore for 2024. Even new Tundra feels cheap for its high price tag. Tacoma will feel even cheaper.
@BrianChambersUnique319 considering the turbo with tacomas now, nobody knows what the reliability will be.
Thank you for making me feel better. Recently had to spend 5k on repairs to my B4000. Considering what trucks now cost, I will keep my B4000. Only has 60k miles, everything works and gets 20 mpg.
New vehicles are not for everyone. Always buy used if you can’t afford new. Good options out there for used.
If you spend $5,000 on repairs, everything does not work, just saying.
Does now.
I put down a $500 deposit in September to be in line for the new '24 Sport or Off-Road. I'm waiting for the dealership to get their allotment so I can look through what they're getting in. I'm hoping they get the allotment before the year ends, but as of now I've heard nothing.
I really wish they'd stop putting these GIANT screens in these newer vehicles.
Yep. They use screens as an extra excuse to raise the prices. It's going to age horribly.
I wish people would expand their vocabulary and stop using vibes 😅
Than don't get the upgrade. It's literally a choice
Insane truck Sofyan.
The prices are crazy for a plastic riddled little truck. I paid 58k for a basically fully loaded ram 1500 after all discounts. Im averaging 18mpg with a v8 on 35” tires and a lift kit and my family has more rear seat room than a stretched s class mercedes. Toyota will want msrp or above for these which is insane. They also are fiddling with reliability because the powertrains are new.
May be true, but it’s a Dodge.
Thanks for reviewing the mid trim!! $3000 more for 4x4 is CRAZYYY!
So just get 2 wheel if you can’t afford it. 3k is cheap for 4 wheel. Especially these days of massive inflation. It’s only the start too.
Hey sofyan, what is the equipment you use for 0-60 times?
Any plans to review the cyber truck?
The Taco!
There’s 2 TRD sport trims coming to a dealer near me and MSRP is 50k for one and 52k for the other.
It seems like a good truck, but I'm going to stick with my V6. I actually prefer the analog experience. Thanks for the content.
True Americans still exist
Yep, the high revs to get power and the low mpg make the current V6 tough to beat. 😂
@@edhcb9359bish please. Take the air mask of the front and this turbo 4 makes Less mpg vs the 3.5 v6. Probably even worst towing because you got the motor under load and turbos need lots of fuel to make it not run lean and blow up. Suck it easy
@@AntilleanConfederation None of that is true but ok 👍
@@edhcb9359 look up the MPG with the mask and without the mask in the front…. I’ll wait
Thank you for the review. The engine looks like a mess, no cover, don't trust the exposed connections.
Engine Displacement, cm3 Bore x Stroke, mm Compression ratio Output, PS Torque, Nm RON ECS Market
T24A-FTS 2393 87.5 x 99.5 11.0 279 / 6000 430 / 1700-3600 95 D-4ST EEC
The I4 is a long stroke engine, or under squared I believe is the term. 87.5 mm of bore to 99.5mm of stroke. This increases low rpm torque and lowers the upper redline to 5500 rpms or so. Where as the 3.5l.
The 8GR-FKS is a 3.5 L (3,456 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 94 mm × 83 mm (3.70 in × 3.27 in). The 8GR-FKS includes on-demand Atkinson cycle, engine output is 315 PS (232 kW; 311 hp) at 6,600 rpm and 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) at 4,800 rpm.
Is 94mm of bore and 83mm of stroke. The rods are generally lighter in a short stroker. But high RPMs and acceleration is where it shines. Also fuel economy idling is better on the short stroker. Bu torque is in upper RPMs.
I got to test drive one to see if I like the new 2.4
Great review. Manual shifting was disgraceful :)
I'd love to take the interior and put it in my 2020 lol
Because their new exteriors are hideous but people give their styling a pass because Toyota is finally offering updated trucks.
That front air dam would have to go!
you can remove it. 11 bolts.
Wondering why the exhaust tip was moved further to the rear, possibly getting damaged more when off-roading.
They moved the catalytic converter so it’s harder to steal
You often use the word gradient when you mean grade. Other than that love the videos.
that's crazy and a great marketing plan every TH-cam journalist got a different trim level and color of the Tacoma to review , and its all over TH-cam
Well, dealers in NY-NJ are adding 3-4k premium already, I was thinking about trading my 23 Jeep for the new Taco...oh well guess I'll just keep my Jeep or go for a Colorado if I really want a pick up truck
Hi
Why This model didn’t ship/delivery to Malaysia ?
Why's the TRD badge crooked!?
the side panels look warped or appear to be buckeling especially at the front door and tail light!
It’s like they just put a laptop in the dashboard. My ram has a really nice look on it screen it’s built-in.
Wait, deployable running boards on the Tacoma?
Are the sport trim gonna have that screen..in the toyota build site for the sport trim the screen is smaller
Is in a separate package you can add
Just got my 2024 TRD Sport on it's way to me today. Dealer should have it by mid March.😊
you can still cancel it and buy the frontier.....better truck, less money
They really dropped the ball on pricing. Ill keep my paid off 3rd gen. Toyota you sold us out!
Great truck. I think they would sell more of them though if they just made it slightly bigger on the inside. It’s either too small or you have to jump to the giant Tundra.
I think they should be the size of the 1st Gen tundra.
They pretty much are, really reminded me the size of my old T100 really.
One of the spokesperson said they did not expand the rear because people said they wanted to fit the truck in their garaged.
putting the v6 in front of the 8 speed would have made this tacoma the leader in it's class.
Frontier and Tacoma now look so similar from a side view
Backseats are a deal breaker…so small esp in this day and age
Then get a Tundra if you want larger back seats.
It's a midsize truck
It’s a small pickup.
Lol. Go buy a full size truck then, this ain’t for you!
Lose weight, ditch the kids and gf--let them drive the suv--or buy a big truck. I like the small sized Tacomas. They are meant for narrow PNW off road/trails.
Discontinuing the V-6 was a serious mistake. I'll keep my gen three Tacoma for a loong time!
Rear seat air vents may be under the front seats
yes sir that what i want the TRD sport not the same color but yeah thx q
Super SUPER tired of all the price comments every time a new car/truck comes out. If you haven’t noticed your dollar doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to… $35k a decade ago is around $48k today. Also just a reminder, all of this inflation you’re feeling is because of record corporate profits keeping things high. Pair that with shit pay, it’s just what happens.
Tacomas don’t have bed liners! The composite bed is the only bed, not a liner. It’s been that way since gen 2.
The backseat room is a deal breaker for me
What grade fuel does it require with its turbo engine?
Need a engine cover for that engine… covers all that cooling lines
Should have one. It’s a pre production
The old 4.0L V6 was the best engine of previous Tacomas
The current 3.5 is the Camry V6, which works for cars, but not for trucks, that need low-end torque
It was a cost cutting move, but it worked for Toyota, as sales continued to stay high
The hybrid is gonna be the best engine moving forward
You think this will be as reliable as the old 4.0 and 5 speed auto? Hmm
@@janetairlines1351 Name me a Toyota engine that wasn't reliable?
@@InvestBetter.The old 3.0L V6s were sludge monsters and would pop their timing belts. That said, 4.0L is bulletproof.
4.0 is slow though. Awful powerband.
@@hellkitty10144.0 is great, but not bulletproof. There are many that blew up. Google is you friend.
If the Dealerships mark these up. With the current interest rates. Payments could reach between $700-$1000 per month. These might be on the lot for a long time.
payments are irrelevant. If you are a payment shopper then you can't afford the vehicle. Total cost in relation to your finances is what matters.
Does this need high test gas?
They managed to raise the prices lol
I wish they got rid of the chrome / polished aluminum accents on the wheels.
Good looking truck but that rear seat legroom is a nonstarter for me.
They need to take about two inches off the front and add it to the bed. Seems like they have room to spare in the engine compartment.
No 360 cameras on the sport it seems
I really like it but they need to move away from the Tonka truck styling on the inside and try to go cleaner and more modern.
Mpg is poor, I thought that was the whole point of switching from V6 to I4. why does Toyota set the bar so low on this metric?
Going to have to wait for the hybrid. More power and probably more mpg.
Government forced improvement in emissions.
Barely any fuel economy benefits for the 2.4 turbo 4 vs the 3.5 V6 in the Highlander too.
Dodge had to get rid of V8’s too. No more Hemis.
Will the frame last more than 10 years in the northeast ?
Everything rots up here. I have my 2010 done at Krown every fall. No rust in MA
My Colorado Trail boss with 310 hp and 430# torque calibration does 0 to 60 in 6s
They should offer v6
I absolutely despise the blue interior... But I'm very tempted to upgrade. Man, the profile of this truck is striking.
Just make the windshield the screen, I swear this screens keep getting bigger
Is that 2.4 turbo the same as the one in Grand Highlander?
Yes.
I still think personally, most will wait for the IFORCE MAX engine. You buy it for raw power, not for raw efficiency.
That one is going to be expensive.
@@FlameHAZE2010the hybrid max platforms will be around $60-$70k
The limited nonhybrid is $55k after destination.
@@americandude3825 Are you taking dealer markups into consideration? And even if you are, that's still a big ask for a midsize truck.
@@FlameHAZE2010 three of my local dealers sells at msrp or below.
@@americandude3825limited non hybrid? Have you been living under a rock? the limited comes in the hybrid variation only
Is that wireless charger for one or two phones?
Sofyan; Does this particular trim, take 87? or 91/93 octane?
87
Toyota only requires regular 87 octane for this engine in the Tacoma.
@@theredline Thanks guys... Fine job as always!! 👌
Anyone know what trim level you need to get a heated steering wheel & heated seats?
its not a trim level its a package
Why they have 3 more horsepower than the Lexus tx ?
🌮
Never understood the 0-60 Metric for Pick Ups. It’s a Truck, Not a Road Racer.
A lot people are complaining that it’s a 4 cylinder most of the trucks in this segment are 4 cylinders only for the frontier
Not just a 4 cylinder but a 4 cylinder turbo meaning way less reliability in the long run.
Those frontiers are the best engine you can get too.
@@thrash123fulToyota has been testing this engine hard for 6 years in Lexus. Will be more reliable than the V6. More power and torque without working as hard.
Turbos built these days are very reliable. Technology has come a long way since 30 years ago.
@@thrash123fulHere is a fun fact. The highest mileage vehicles on the road are trailer trucks. Some have 5 million miles. All have big turbo 6 cylinder engines with older technology.
So I can see 300k-500k plus in these easy.
Yes, putting a turbo or supercharger on the 4.0 made it blow. It was a low budget engine not meant for it.
The new engine is meant for it. Plus no more clutch fan for heavy drag and that dreaded noise of 1980’s.
They took away the plastic seat backs to the back seats. That's the best feature if you have dogs, or even out doog stuff if you don't want to put it in the bed
Price of these might as well get a tundra
Ugh. Toyota messed up on this. I’ve got my 6-speed manual 2021 TRD Off-Road…… folks, look elsewhere… why?….
Because eventually EVERY turbo goes out. Again, EVERY turbo goes out… so not only will you have your truck payment AND whatever it costs for PM, you’d better set at LEAST $2000 aside to replace the turbo when it goes out.
Yes the turbo will not last and you may wait a long time for that day to come but it will and it will be expensive.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. You use a rotary phone instead of a cell too?
@@theoutdoordad7395 you hurt my feelings. Now I’ll have to go on social media and cancel you… oh wait, I forgot - I’m not a Marxist. 🙂
"we've heard you, we've given you what you wanted. Just don't bitch about the price when you see it"
I have a genuine question, yes I know it is very expensive. But, it is technically a fully sized truck compared to what they made back a decade or two ago. Is it worth it if you think about it that way?
It’s still a small truck. Back seat is tiny.
Length of it did not change, so I think it is safe to say it is midsize truck.
Take a shot every time Sofyan says “missing” for features not equipped on this truck.
Great review. Love this truck; even though it has a completely Outdated powertrain. WTF Toyota? Why can't you take advantage of the state-of-the-art Hybrid technology you have for this truck? This truck should and could have a 350HP Hybrid powertrain getting 40mpg.
Perhaps you need to build trucks. Wise arse
Perhaps you should read they are bringing the hybrid max to this truck in the spring if you're going to cry about it at least know what you're talking about
Outdated??? It's a another standard 4cyl turbo that every single competitor uses as well. Technically, the "outdated" powertrain, the V6, is gone sadly.
The imax motor will put over 400 lbs-ft torque. What else you need on a mid size truck? Get a v8 if you want more hp
All you need is Money MTB-Rider...
Tacoma used to be a cheap affordable reliable every-mans truck. Now the new ones are rich kid wagons. Old Toyotas are built better anyways.
I’ll stick with my 16mpg in the 2017 tundra with a v8.
My thoughts exactly. I’ve gotten 19 mpg but I love to hear that 5.7 liter roar 🦁so I Avg 15.5
