This is the new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter! The Trailhunter is a brand new version of the Tacoma designed to be overland ready with its beefy off-road capabilities. It is powered by a new hybrid 4-cylinder engine which is the most powerful engine offered in the new Tacoma. Today I'm reviewing this new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

Doug the type of guy to review the entire Toyota lineup in the span of a couple weeks
He got a good sale on his Sequoia
@@fos3vcf10actually he didn't, he couldn't find any for sale new and he even asked Toyota if they can find him one (he specified he would pay the full price) and they didn't find him one lmao
@@cyjanek7818you may have missed the joke :)
All these videos paid off his new Sequoia 10x and he didn't even have to leave the dealership 😂
He finally left his bomb shelter though 😂

Tacoma Trailhunter, coming to a grocery store parking lot near you!
😂😂😂😂
Don't forget the drive-thru's!
As well as trails. Most people only have one car so it makes sense that they'd drive it everywhere including to the grocery store.
@@bwofficial1776 yeah, people with $100k to spend on a pickup only have one car
*Sarcasm*
@@marioricardo903why would one person want to have two cars in their garage unless they have a family? the fuel cost does not justify the cost of owning two cars. I don't understand your logic.
This truck is also $65,000. Absolutely insane for a midsize truck.
You can get a fully loaded tundra for that.
@welcometoboredom No, you absolutely cannot.
gets a 7 for value though 😄
@@sawyermartin4434
The 2024 Toyota Tundra has a starting price of $41,815 and can cost up to $64,310 depending on the trim and options. The Tundra Capstone is the highest-trim and most expensive Tundra, offering luxury and styling. It includes all the features of the Platinum trim, plus a V6 Hybrid powertrain, 22-inch wheels, exclusive exterior and interior trim, sound-reducing front windows, power-deploying running boards, and a head-up display
Hey, they put the name in the headlight and the floormatts. It worth every dime. Now think how cool that will look when you pick your daughter up from basketball.

Lmao
After finger lick, it goes up his…
Haha!

@@CubicleRanger Yes, it actually is.
“Unfortunately, I can’t really off-road today as the area is all washed out and super muddy…” Isn’t that the ideal weather conditions for this truck?!
Guessing they wouldn’t let him
Yep...or like most of the people that buy these they'll never see dirt.
Seriously, when he said that I was like, this guy doesn't think about what he's saying
Just goes to show how many “off-road” vehicles sold today dont ever leave pavement

Thank you for not doing this review indoors, the echo drives us nuts
Why Demuro never doing this review indoors btw?
It does not
I've never noticed it
@@purwantiallan5089 Never? All the reviews were done indoors since the new cars & bids HQ
One thing I think that's impressive that no one seems to mention is that the power inverter for these new cars is 2400W @120V. That can basically power anything as long as your battery is charged which is kinda insane. Usually it's been maxed out at like 400W. You basically never have to carry around one of those big backup batteries.
Until you’re trying to start your car next morning 😁
Car has to be running and the high watt version is only on hybrid
@@testtesttesttesttest884 Ford has the 2.4kw and 7.2kw meanwhile im over here sad with only 400w :(
That's quite a bit of power for an inverter.
It has the large hybrid battery pack.
Doug is the type of guy to give his water bottle a Doug score .
And discuss its quirks and features.
Doug the type of guy that gives his water bottle an 80/100 cause it has no flavor
@@userwtf420
Loses points in the weekend category
Glug score
This truck would be excellent if it had a $10k cheaper msrp.
You know Doug really loves Crawl Control as he never fails to mention it
It's actually really useful on steep descents. Like where 1-low is slow, but 2-low wants to run away on you.
He did mention it worked well for him.
Someone needs to do a montage of Doug saying “crawl control”. Will probably be a 10 minute video
Toyota - in my opinion - is probably the best car manufacturer out there today. I own a Highlander and a 2022 Tundra and they are just solid, reliable vehicles and Toyota takes really good care of their customers.
Keep what you have. This new stuff is unadulterated, overpriced junk. And it's made in Mexico.
Doug the type of guy to own a Lamborghini, a Carrera GT and a Ford GT but still won’t update his microphone
This better than a Cybertruck
The accelerator won’t get stuck on a tacoma.
But the Cybertruck comes with a TapOut t-shirt and giant fake gold chain.
@@The_Top_Gun. You never know. It could happen again. Ten years ago Toyota recalled 9 million cars for stuck accelerators, including all 2005-2010 Tacomas. Caused 37 deaths according to the NHTSA.
A Fiat Multipla is better than that fridge on wheels
That’s a low bar.
I mean it is kinda cool that Toyota was finally like here have some aftermarket stuff from the factory ! Just give us money
Good for resale!
At dealership prices, apparently.
I just love the way Doug talks with his hands. I wonder if he knows that he is swearing in American Sign Language a few things he said are hilarious.
. ouch , that’s a good skit .
yeah I dont. he needs downers
Nice truck. (No way I could afford a $65,000 vehicle like that, but I wouldn’t be adverse to owning one…) 😊
I thought the trailhunter was for crawling and slower speeds and the TRD pro was for high speed thrashing?
Yeah. TrailHunter has the air compressor which is ideal for airing down on more challenging technical trails. TRD Pro has the shock absorber seats for higher speed offroading.
You are completely right. Doug gets this wrong in every video talking about the TrailHunter. The TRD Pro is a Baja style high speed desert runner. The TrailHunter is a RockLander (rock crawler meets overlander).
yeah, the trailhunter has a higher payload, the pro is an offroad toy.
Another great video! Really enjoyed this one. Your videos are so entertaining, doesn’t even matter what car you review
The bronze-wheel love explains the bronze doubt for your Sequoia! You’re right! Looks great!
Did the Supra RZ 1997 also has bronze wheel?
Why is there a blank switch on a “63000” truck?
😭😭😭
because they know that people want empty switch blanks to add in accessory switches. a panel of blanks is incredibly useful
@@danielessaides3727 13:43 , 5th one down
@@QUESO1011 could be something that is reserved for the manual models. Like the clutch start assist, something like that
@@danielessaides3727you are correct, it is the clutch start button. Unfortunately there’s 2 more blanks in the area where the AUX buttons are. Just saying, for a “63000” mid sized truck, it better have every single option you can squeeze in there, nothing should be optional IMO
I’m so pleased to have a 3rd gen with these prices. My goodness they are nuts!
The built-in compressor does not use bed space. It's inside the wall space. It is an excellent feature that I would have loved when I worked at the ranch.
“…like back in the old days” referring to the V6 power compared to the 4-cylinder…you mean like, last year Doug? 😂
Great looking & well equipped truck- awesome review, sir!
There should be a weekend category focused more on offroad handling.
Oh wow I can't wait to see one of these in person at the Costco parking lot.
Doug the type of guy that gives tips to the customer service rep of his cell phone service.
The Trailhunter is designed for low speed off road including rock crawling. The TRD Pro is set up as a higher speed Baja desert runner.
Baja and crawl I get but is there a third "overland" category as well? I thought overland overlapped with crawl and that this truck was basically meant for both but Doug seems to think this is for overland, TRD is for crawling, and neither is for Baja
@@paulgemperlein626 From Toyotas own website:
“Tacoma TRD Pro
Inspired by Tacoma’s legacy of Baja dominance, the TRD Pro returns to capture the hearts and stir the souls of a new generation of off-road enthusiasts. Loaded with desert-destroying features in a rugged and stylish package, Tacoma TRD Pro raises the bar for off-road performance.”
“All-New, All-Conquering Trailhunter
Toyota has long been the choice of those who forge their own paths to adventure. Now, the choice is even clearer. Introducing the Tacoma Trailhunter-conceived, designed and built to be a ready-made overlanding beast.”
Overlanding is just a term for getting to hard to reach places usually with reference to camping or exploring. Suspension on the Trailhunter is tuned for carrying heavier load outs. “Old Man Emu® Suspension
Overlanders need a truck that can do more than just take them down the toughest trails; they also need it to carry all their gear and supplies for extended time off the grid. Trailhunter’s standard Old Man Emu® 2.5-in. forged monotube shocks with external remote reservoirs combine rugged capability with outstanding load-carrying stability, to get you through the obstacles and into the middle of nowhere.”
In the past there was only a TRD model and it was target toward all around 4WD. Now they’ve focused TRD as more of a Ford Raptor competitor - desert runner, suspensions seats, hitting jumps etc…And Trailhunter for overlanding.

Basically they are pushing TRD as more of a desert runner and competitor to the Ford Raptor. They even put the shock absorber system into the seats for hitting jumps with the vehicle. Trailhunter is set up for exploring hard to reach places with larger overlanding payloads.
Can’t wait to buy one of these in 20 years still going strong
The integrated compressor is designed to last the life of the truck, and to be used frequently. When off-road, reliability is key to survival, and nobody wants to be let down by a cheap portable compressor. Also it's useful for inflating watercraft, air mattresses, and used to run an impact gun for wheel removal. Much, much better than a portable. Kudos to Toyota for putting together such a comprehensive, quality package!
actually I prefer a cordless ryobe. no need to run a hose.
Showing similar vehicles that sold on Cars & Bids to the one you’re showcasing on the video is a nice touch that could possibly add new buyers and sellers.
That color with the bronze rims!👍
….and 99% of them will never go off-road 😂
They will in 20 years 😂😂😂
Love the paint and wheel combo!
Doug you keep saying the TRD pro is for technical rock crawling and the TrailHunter is not. when it’s the other way around, the trd pro is a pre runner/high speed off roader with more emphasis on going fast off road than being technical. The trail hunter is definitely more suited to do technical crawling type off roading. i would know i own a trd pro 3rd gen lol. the armor and old man emu shocks on the hunter make it way better at technical driving
2024 Toyotas are so awesome, I love my Grand Highlander so much, it's crazy powerful for a 5000 pound SUV.
24 TRD PRO Tundra. Amazing, on road, off road, towing.
@@thealchemist013 oh sweet, I am stoked for you man!!
2017 LC 😍😍
@@MegaRafaellocoLexus LC coupe or a Toyota Land Cruiser?
12 mpg on a hybrid four cylinder??? I think Doug is totally breezing over this. I don’t care if you are doing Baja races with the thing, that is insane. What is the pay off for using a drivetrain that your fanbase doesn’t like/want? No mpg gain. Power is pretty much the same. More complexity and inevitably less reliability. And they are forcing it down your throat by making it the only option on upper trim levels. Great truck in a lot of ways but this powertrain seems to have missed the mark so much it isn’t even fun. I wish Doug would have dug into this a bit more (no pun intended). Seems inexplicable and inexcusable.
Cry cry cry😭😭😭
"Power is pretty much the same" Dude, WHAT? LOL
Most other channels are seeing mid 20's under normal use on the new Tacoma
Exactly and all the battery and electrical components take up all the space under and behind the rear seats. If they had put a 6 cylinder with a turbo or supercharger I would probably get one. Would like to get a Ranger Raptor, but mark ups on those are over $70k. Insane what people are charging for midsized trucks.
ICE vehicles are clearly going away with all this high-stressed engine boosted over complicated mess. ICE vehicles are increasingly only for the rich as they try to compete with EV horsepower numbers.. Meanwhile EVs are getting less expensive by the month and ridiculous performance. Just wait until Chinese EVs are being imported you will be getting a truck for $25k that will have 500hp and 400 miles range with super fast charging. These days will be here way before 2030. It is still only 2024.
$63,900 before markups.
Quick math:
$6,400 down (10%)
+ tax and interest (7.64)
60 Months Payment: $1260
@12.5% of take home pay you should be earning $157,500 annually to be looking at this car (assuming the appropriate taxes are coming out of your paycheck).
National average wage (US Census): $63795.
Percentage making $150k annually: approx. 8.3%
5 Year price increase Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro:
2019 MSRP: $42,960
2024 MSRP: $63,900
49% increase
Wage growth 2019-2024: 1.7% (Source: US Treasury)
These price increases far outpace inflation and wage growth.
Toyota is targeting 8% of total market. Or people who just want to act fiscally irresponsible.
Why would anyone get stuck paying 5 years for a disposable plastic truck with a 4 cylinder?!??
The Trailhunter is the Rock Crawler trim, fyi. Also, the high mount air intake is not a snorkel, though I imagine it has a high fording depth, but technically, the air intake is not water tight and you will like end up flooding your engine if water hits your windscreen.
Doug is the type of guy to have 4.8 million subscribers and only one pair of pants. (We love you Doug!)
10 buttons sitting right next to the drink holder where 100% of all spills occur is wonderful.
Waterproof
@@sammymaestro7642it's sad you got no up votes but they got over 30
companies will remove every single button and we all complain and then there’s this doofus who complains about the one company still adding physical buttons. if you think this is bad think about what liquid is gonna do to the electrical components of those massive touch screens or capacitive panels 🙄 and then instead of whatever function the button controls being broken the screen that controls several or perhaps every single function in the car is gone completely. just because it’s more minimalist and out of the way doesn’t mean it isn’t susceptible to the exact same thing.
Toyota employee here. The snorkel is actually not for river crossing but to receive better air quality than what you’d get at the level the stock intake get air air.
In other words it sits higher up to avoid getting more dust in your air filter.
TLDR: DONT CROSS RIVERS WITH THIS TYPE OF SNORKEL ITS NOT MEANT FOR THAT.
The front metal loop under the front bumper is only rated as a tie down point. I do think it’s super weird it doesn’t have recovery hooks in the front stock when it’s got all the other off road goodies. On my off-road vehicles I always have an air compressor permanently mounted and wired up. It’s a must out on the sand or trails. It’s nice cause it’s you know it’s always ready to go but it does come at the cost of some space. I’ve been watching your videos since like 2016! Love all your reviews man!
"....then you'd have to go back to regular mirror driving like a PLEBIAN!!!"!! 😂 Oh Doug.... that was the hardest I've laughed in days!! Thanks bud 👍🏻🥃!
Buying this truck at $63k when you can get a GX overtrail at $70k is... *boggle*
What makes less sense to me is that the Land Cruiser Prado is priced at 76k and marked up to 90k+.
True, but the GX isn't a truck. But a made in Mexico truck should not cost 63K.
I know I should never bring up Ram in Toyota video but the RHO starts $5k more than this with 1500 payload, more clearance, useable back seat, and 0/60 under 5 seconds.
Looks like the tailgate has a weatherstrip seal along the sides. Nice if you run a tonneau cover or cap.
My 2008 Toyota Tundra gets 12 plus miles per gallon in city driving and I'm hard on the throttle. I've got 60,000 miles on the odometer and 381hp! I'll never break any fuel economy record, but it really does put a smile on my face every day except Sunday when I fill her up!
I have a 2007 Tundra with just over 300,000 miles. Good job keeping the mileage low on your truck and know your truck will take you farther than you ever thought possible. Only issue I have with your statement, unless you have a super charger, our 5.7l v8 only has 381hp which I don’t think I would trade for the base v6 of the current model. The hybrid model, that’s a different beast
@@johngarcia2502 simple typo, sorry!
I got a 17 LC with the same engine. Love how comfortable it is, coming from a Rubicon, it’s like night and day in terms of comfort and features.
I just wish they had done something exciting for the powertrain, like a supercharged 5.7 V8. Oh well. Won't be long till we see LS swaps. That should do too.
Does this trail runner model have the same weak spot in the front transaxle same as the one that failed in TFLtruck video?
Yeah that was embarrassing for a truck touted so highly as off-road capable
Good call
Wanted this one so bad but the price is just insane look at the competitors, the gas mileage in real world use is no better than last gen, we know it probably will be more reliable since it's a toyota but we still don't know for sure..
The exhaust sound comes from the speaker to disable open your tailgate and drive around with it open at least that’s how it is in my tundra Trd pro
Thanks for doing a review outdoors! So much better.
It's clear that Doug knows next to nothing about what is needed/wanted off-road
No more boring cars indeed.
I drove the Landcruiser utes in Australia and they all had stock snorkels. That’s the source of the turbo noise. It’s way more noticeable when it’s right next to your passenger side window.
Does the "utility bar" slide along the rail? If it moved to the back it would be perfect for having a cover for camping or additional storage space that could be covered and all. Fantastic video and great vehicle! 😊🌎❤️🕺🏻🐶
Those bronze wheels will look great at the Starbucks drive thru
You are absolutely pathetic
Trail hunter pairs well with RVCA, IPAs, flannel, and artisanal facial hair.
Starbucks....and $850 a month payments for 84 months with a 10% apr...lmao....theres a sucker born every minute
@@johnathoncastro My truck payment is $932 a month, but it's a truck that can last past 1 million miles. I actually made a 3K payment every month instead of the minimal amount. No regrets...but $850 for a mid-size truck---hahaha!
That thing is awesome, like the back to the future SR5 but for 2024
I know I'll only see this driven on regular roads and never dirty
Saddest truth of reality
I'd actually have faith that many of these would be out on the trails. But I mean if you're only on regular roads too, of course you'll only see them there. I've seen a ton of very nice trucks/SUV's on trails in CO, UT, CA and MT.
@@nottherealjkstill I’d bet a minority of them will end up doing anything more adventurous than commuting and grocery runs
I wash my TRD Pro after I get it dirty. It's called taking care of it. It goes off road if it has to but I didn't get it to go off road I got it because it holds its value better than Toyota's other trim levels and far better than anything its competitors offer, it looks better than anything its competitors offer and it will visit the dealership far less than all its competitors will and should a situation occur during the 100's of thousands kilometers it will drive that requires off roading it will do that better than its competitors too.
@johnhein4851 my point is that 90% of the drivers of offroad trucks never use them offroad
7:04 The return of the steel bumper to the Tacoma from factory means the return of the GUARANTEED smashed front ends of the texting idiot behind you when they crash into you 😀

Love what they did with the snorkel, hate what they did with the wheels & "roll bar"
those tires look so small lol
Asking the offroading people : do you think that the feature + use case difference vs the TRD Pro is significant enough to merit a different model?
FINALLY some north american pickups are getting adjustable headlights! Wish my Ranger had them!
I didn’t expect all the lines and wires everywhere once you open the hood. Is a nice masculine looking truck
It's great to see Doug left his grandmother's white chair at home. The Golden Girls set wants it back.
These are going to look so good in the Walmart parking lot
Doug, we love you Doug
Timberline, Adventure, & Rock creek & now Trailhunter ! Im excited !
Trail hunter is the new TRD pro.
New TRD pro is a Baja now.
Is the exhaust like that a risk to allowing it to flow into the vehicle when sitting still?
Most powerful engine and weirdos will still say it needs a V8
Weirdos who will only be pounding mall pavement anyway.
It's not about power, it's about reliability. That 4 cylinder under a lot of stress over time will not last as long as the 3.5 or 5.7
@@juliusp8269 Toyota 4-cyl engines last forever if not overloaded. The MAIN issue is forced induction. They had to force induction to get the same 'power' as the outgoing larger engines...which always ends in premature failure as compared to N/A. They will lose a lot of sales to the Frontier.
It needs a V8
Any idea when/if we are still getting a trail hunter tundra? They said we would get one when the new tundra was launched and they’ve been quiet about it since. Also will they be updating the tundra with these improvements (bed lights, tailgate buttons on both sides, recovery hooks, etc)?
Unfortunately, it's not a 'snorkel' since it's not sealed water tight, which means it WON'T help when crossing water since water can still seep through at the bottom. Rather, it's a 'high mount air intake' to take in less dirt/dust from the trail.
Wait!....Doug owns pants?!?
No, just pant.
looks like a concept car
Doug is the type of guy that will point out loud turbo noises.....but not let us hear it😂..... I couldn't even pick up on it while he was talking 🤣
16:26 please tell me the floor mats are installed wrong... ive been in awe at how amazing everything on this truck is, please dont say toyota failed on the floor mats
“Most off road ready truck straight from the factory!”
Rains.
“It’s too muddy to go off road!”
Spoken like someone who doesn't understand there are different kinds of mud and has never taken their vehicle further offroad than a parking lot
They couldn't take them through the mud because other people had to review them the same day and Toyota wants to keep them looking nice for all the press 🤦🤦
I think it's because they didn't want him to.
Doug the kind of guy who adds speed holes to the hood of his car.
I absolutely love those bronze rims!
They look really nice!
That front hook is likely a shipping / tow truck hook and not really for recovery
$65k for a Tacoma? Hard pass... Ranger Raptor is $10k less and significantly quicker
Yeah because speed in a straight line is EXACTLY what everyone is looking for in an overlander... what a dumb trash comment
JD Powers rated Ford 28th in reliability…slightly ahead of Land Rover. 😂😂😂
Buy that Ford!
@cenciende9401 I agree that speed was a weird thing for him to bring up but they're also very equal offroad. Basically the same ground clearance and approach/departure angles. The ranger does have the better 4wd system which includes a locking front diff that the toyota doesn't have. I would take the ranger raptor or a ram rebel over the Tacoma personally.
@user-vx7vi3vq1c Ford and Toyota are basically tied in cost of ownership though. It's mainly the 10 speed autos that caused reliability issues with fords and most of those problems have been worked out.
I can't wait to see the Trailhunter new Camry come out!
I think the turbo noise you mentioned is the intake sound from the snorkel
I think what we’re beginning to see, and it is Japan leading the way. Engineers have found a way to make a four cylinder powerful ❤
Don’t blame Doug for reviewing Toyota . Toyota is simply the best cars for regular and car enthusiasts . It’s your daily driver with your weekend car
Is it just me or all new Toyota models look very similar. That said, the new design is a nice update.
That's like saying all BMW or Audi's look similar... Of course they do
Yeah it’s called design language.
Yeah copy/paste design. New 4runner botched 🤮
@@user-ju1qx9dc3w Oh how so?
@@conman1395 yeah good point.
Yes it’s good for Toyota specification but one thing I don’t like is Upper front grill design but I think this can be modified later . 😊
My opinion about overlanding vehicles is the personalization and modification of the vehicle itself. The ability to choose what equipment you install, and where/why or how gives the vehicle more of an intrinsic connection. Toyota providing things like the utility bar, the lights, and maybe even the compressor kinda takes that away from the end user. I can see the appeal and see where there is a market, but I feel like it's doing a lot to placate people who aren't taking this further than the farmers' market grass parking lot. Especially at $63k.
Four cylinder turbo is the deal breaker on these….really, the MPG isn’t that spectacular. The rat’s nest under the hood is a jaw dropping mess
