Tested one yesterday, exact model and color, they wanted $48k out the door. No budging either, market is crazy right now.
Just bought my first Toyota last week, a 2022 Tacoma SR5. I love it already. I went with the V6.
I have this exact truck. The reason i got this over the trd was because the first thing anybody does with a new truck is lift it and throw wheels and tires on it. This already has lift and wheels and tires.
Wonderful video Sarah! The trail edition should come with an access cab/6 foot bed option. It is also worth mentioning that the coolers in the back are removable. Bed space is already at a premium with the short box!
I should thank you. This video last year was what made my mind up about getting this truck. Thank you
You hit the nail on the head. 4 cylinder version of this would be perfect. Thank you for showing the rear lift on these. No other reviewer shows how it’s actually lifted and I have wondered.
An in depth review that’s actually in depth. You’ve got my subscription. Mostly for petting the tire.
Bought mine used. Love it alot so far. Pretty simple nothing to fancy for a modern truck. Just what you need
One of your best truck reviews. Perhaps the best? And humorous too. Thanks
My favourite Car Lady & expert / review Channel on TH-cam! 👍😂❤️😎🏴
The different selections 2H, 4H, & 4L on the hill really displayed capabilities.
Great review. And its a great truck. I bought the last year 2023 Trail Edition and its been 8 months and I have zero regrets. I absolutely love it.
Youre a very beautiful woman too.
Thank you ! For your time !
2022 Trd off-road in celestial silver is what I’m slumping around in and very happy. Thanks Sarah
Purest edition for that base version you described.
I’ve long wanted a taco 4x4, never once wanted an 6cyl or an automatic.
May 4th be with you, Sarah
"price as tested $40k" We wish! Even at the tail-end of the 3rd gen, they're getting obscene markups. Great review, as always
Just ordered mine last month trd off road with the factory lift and some extra goodies. $40293 msrp. You just have to find the right dealership!
Paid $41k for mine
i got my 22 year old 3 litre Camry up hills like that down ere in outback Queensland, Australia.
Ah, the squirrel-part! Yet another genius Sarah-moment - you simply don't get things like that in other car reviews! (Same goes for the extensive off-road test - You are the only car reviewer I know of that actually drive off-roady vehicles in their natural habitat. 5 out of 5 squirrels for that!)
Your right about the price point. If it was about 4k cheaper that would be awesome. But then you also have to figure in the quality of a Toyota on that 40k price.
Was considering buying the Tacoma Trail but was unaware they don’t have a fully boxed frame. Had a 1992 Toyota xtra cab in high school and that lil truck had a fully box frame.
They don’t have fully boxed frame in the rear to give it better off road articulation.
@@Offshore1977exactly🇺🇸
You’re very charismatic 👍🏼
Nothing like a Sarah video to watch before sleeping. Love the humor Love the tech stuff
The Toyota in bronze on the grill matching the wheels is a nice touch.
Great video as always Sarah ! I wish they would offer this with a double cab & 6 ft bed , or , they should offer all of the SR5 models ( how about all models ) with the rear locking differential . Like you say , no need for all that crawl control and multi terrain select and hill descent jazz , just 4WD and LSD with locker is all ya need .
This Taco is also great as a blank canvas for custom accessories. Like you, I'm drawn to uniqueness.
This gal knows her stuff. Love your vids.
"gal" 😂
So regular SR5 Hitachis with lift springs front lift blocks rear, no fuel tank skid and some different looking rims/grill for a higher price than a TRD OR.
Thankyou for confirming what many of us over at TW have been thinking, that this is a more expensive less capable truck. Considering the price difference if you have the extra grand, get the TRD offroad and factory lift kit.
Love the video. Looking forward to seeing more.
A 2022 SR5 Trail Edition package without any additional options comes to about $41,300, fees included, on Toyota's website. You'd be better off getting a TRD Off Road. You get more bang for your buck!
That sandwiched area of the Y pipe where it tucks under the transfer case it double walled, a pipe inside a pipe, for sound suppression. So, the exhaust flow area is much smaller than it looks.
I bought a 2021 Trail Edition last year, and all I got were the fancy bed boxes that I removed the 2nd day of ownership. Love the changes they've made for the 2022, esp the color, wheels, locking diff, etc. I had a 2021 Ranger for a few months, and I miss the Cactus Gray.
Hey Sarah, about a second and a half before you said I wonder if a V8 would fit I thought same thing also wondering if you can mate up the V8 with the six speed manual ? don’t think Toyota ever had a manual V-8 none that I can think of in the US anyways. Sounds like a great project🙂Have a great one as always🐧🐧🐧👍
Can you put a Subaru Forester Wilderness edition on the lift? I know you reviewed it and a more indepth review would be great. Thx
The wheels look awesome.
I have a couple a dirt scooters. Can the cooler things be removed? IE quick release? Guessing not.
Seems like a pretty cool version of the Taco, though I agree it would be nice to offer the off-road goodies on a truly basic truck; especially if it could be had without the 4-door cab. I had a '97 Dodge Dakota that was probably about the same size as this (Tacomas of the '90's were a bit smaller), and though mine had the base V-6, it was available with the 5.2L V-8; that engine wasn't any wider or taller than the 6, just longer since it had another pair of cylinders. So I would think Toyota's smaller V-8 would fit, and they could do something truly awesome and offer it with a manual.
Something about a taco with a V8 makes the juices flow
If they can get the small V8 into the Lexus GX they could definitely put one in a Tacoma. But they'd rather sell you a Tundra.
@cnorton1us keep dreaming. Not only will they never offer a v8 in it, soon the v6 will be gone too. Only 4 cyl. turbo.
Hi Sarah from Australia, this pick up segment is really going great guns in Australia, it's wall to wall dual cab utes as we call them here, our equivalent is the Toyota Hilux, and the Ford Ranger, both swap places month by month for the best selling vehicles in the country, much like your Ford 150 dominates sales there in the US. Great review, thanks 👍🏻
Ford Ranger is 100x better than a Hilux on sheer capability & design.
Love your videos Sarah!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was totally wondering if it was like the Cactus Grey? Thanks for saying that.
Bilshhhhsteens. I love it when you speak German.
You are not ridiculous, Sarah, you are adorable.
Is that color lunar rock? Not sure if you said it in the video
I love this review. Tacomas are hard to come by but they had one just like this at a local dealership sooooo…I bought one. I actually love the truck. The built in storage in the back is NOT watertight. Sold as storage. ( yea I know, drivers side “doubles” as a cooler). Ruined some work gloves and ropes and extra jacket stashed in there when I opened them to find them filled with water. Dealership called Toyota Corp and were told the boxes are both coolers. Not true. Don’t store tools or anything you don’t want to get wet in there.
Very first thing I noticed after buying it was how damn heavy the hood was. Id gladly pay dealership prices for them to come with hood lift supports from the factory like most other trucks have at this point
Love u Sarah!!! My favorite youtuber!!!
So cool! I LOVE my 22 trail edition. So many people comment about the wheels lol. I got wheel locks the day I got home ahahaha
It’s interesting this model has that SR front bumper air screen thing. I thought all trail editions have that removed since it ruins approach angle lol
Wow! You look amazing.. great review.. 6 speed always 👍
Great review Sarah! Loved it😃👍
Love these Toyota trucks. Unfortunately we only get the Hilux here in the UK. As a matter of interest do Toyotas in the states have DPF problems like the ones who n Australia? We don’t seem to have any over here
We don't get the diesel in the USA.
Be thankful you have the hilux. Were begging for it over here.
Sarah LOVES the braking tests...😜😜😜
The trail edition doesn’t make sense when you can get a trd off-road model for the same price with more off-road goodies
Sarah you missed something that cable on the a axle that’s STI pink at least through the camera it looks like it to me
Great review, Sarah. Tacos and refired beans are one of my favorites, so keep up the great work.
I played with the configurator on Toyota's website (a very confusing configurator), and found out that Trail Edition package is available on SR5 trim only in double cab, 5ft bed with 4x4 3.5L with auto only. No manual. Manual is available on TRD trims only. Similar TRD Off-Road manual costs $3.5K less then Trail Edition.
How is Natasha? Have you guys gotten that pesky squirrel and moose?😏
@@mostcom 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Toyotas configurator is infuriating
I really wish manufacturers would bring back small V8s. A Tacoma with a 6 or 7 speed manual transmission and a 4.0l V8 with the same technology this 3.5l V6 has would be about the perfect truck for daily driver duty. It would have around 300hp with a broader torque curve than the V6 for better acceleration and towing, and if you gave the engine cylinder deactivation so it could run as a 2.0l 4 cylinder at low loads it would have better fuel economy than the V6 as well. Unfortunately, nobody's likely to spend the money on tooling and R&D for this with everyone pushing to go all electric. I'm frankly disappointed with how quickly manufacturers skipped over hybrid technology in favor of an all electric future that our power grids and battery technology aren't likely going to be able to support for at least a decade or two after the arbitrary 2030 deadline most manufacturers have set for themselves.
Design one and show it to them and maybe they buy your design. But I bet that u haven’t invented a small v8 with 300 horse power that give you at least 20 miles per gallon. Clown
I always like your background music. Granted that’s probably not what we’re all watching the channel for. But……
It completes the package for sure.
Great Video, Nice!
Any change will see a Tacoma 16-23 trd sport off road?
Just to see how capable.
For the people the dot have a off road package .
Please
I wish it has A trac as well meaning the Trail Edition would be really great
You probably would have have made it in 2-hi with the rear locker engaged and a matting the skinny pedal.
The S in the transmission is ‘sequential’ mode (ie: if it’s in ‘3’ it won’t shift past that), not ‘sport’. Everyone seems to get this wrong.
3:18 There are dedicated threads where people cut off and re-route the exhaust so it's not sticking out under the truck. Wish I knew why Toyota thought it was a better idea to squeeze the exhaust into an oval and route it under the transfer case instead of just going around it with regular round tube.
Happy Humpday Sarah!!!
Kinda reminds me of Jeep JK Sports that pretty much go everywhere a JK Rubicon will go, granted one must get creative with picking of lines without having lockers, but there's definitely a saving in initial cost.
Stay excellent!!!😎
Thanks bro
The cooler options is great, but is does reduce the bed space by a lot. Now it needs speakers in the bed.
It's got the center limited slip to (I think it's the center) would also help with 2 wheel 🤷
The glasses part 😂😂😂. Comedy gold
I agree about the bare bones 4 banger standard transmission option. Come on Toyota get with it.
Been waiting for this forever!!!!
My friend has a 18 tacomama same color or close to it... cool trucks cool eye liner
Just bought one , great truck!
Funny , cool vid. Thanks Sara!
That fire at 16:50 looks like a lightning strike caused it.
Can't get a manual transmission in the Trail edition. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Great show 😅❤😊
I’m glad my dad got the 22 taco oR he’s said I can have it after I graduate from high schooo😂🎉
wait the wheel is 16x8??? omg i been told they were 16x7 so im trying to look for replacement before putting on 33"
0:42 cactus gray aka fighter jet gray which ford said was a “unique” color just for the Mach 1. Well yeah except the cactus gray is a different name but same paint code!!
SARAH, SINCE YOU ARE A EXPERT ON TOYOTAS, WHY HAVE I HAD 4 RECALLS ON MY TOYOTA COROLLA SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2017?
What about the white F-450 dually. We want to see what you think about it.
That trail one should be the same price as an SR5 4x4 not more then a trd off-road
Please do a 2024 Toyota Tacoma trd pro review! On these hybrid
Hello, how can i contact you about the product sponsorship?
What would you rather have, this trail edition or frontier pro4x?
You’d be surprised what a 2wd Tacoma can do, I have a Prerunner Tacoma from back when that was a trim option (2wd on 4wd chassis) and it’s pretty capable, I just make sure to always have a friend, a recovery rope, and a d-ring shackle hitch on hand at all times
Did you get your glasses back? No science without them? 😎
Thanks Sarah for taking Pengi along for the second drive! I suppose the high up position was due to the off-road testing over the usual back seat-belted in the camera angle. Rub his head as the headrest looked crushingly uncomfortable 🙄 Interesting wide-bell, button-front jeans - haven’t seen any since the 70’s 👍
I wouldn't dismiss hill descent too quickly. It helps prevent brake wear. I have seen firsthand brakes go out in offloading adventures while descending a hill before.
What happened to the bronco and the mr2
Can you buy an aftermarket rear sway bar
`Spot on about "if they made"...
a 4cylinder, high revving, crew cab, 4wd, manual transmission as standard, bash-bars, sliders and winch = a modern day/retro 1980's rock crawler canvas.... they'd sell out before they hit the showroom floor.
Take my word for it, you don't want to touch a squirrel 😂
Excellent review Sarah! The Toyota is a nice truck maybe the manufacturer should offer a turbo to increase the power👍😉
? can you lock the rear diff in two wheel drive? I mean if we are just playing and trying things.
Hey Sara-Tune, when describing the FRONT brake configuration at the 6:08 point you said and I quote . . . "Prior Generation TACO" - 🤣 was that from TACO Bell 🔔 or phriggin' Del TACO Yo ?!? 🔜 🌮 🌮 🤣 👊
SARAH!!!!!
Those wheels 😍
Thanks for a great review,and also thanks!!! Now i want taco's....
Thank you Sarah!
