How is your chevy colorado. Is it reliable?
I don't care what you think about a Toyota Tacoma, The TFL channel(s), towing, payload, other specifications, or even this test. This entire video is worthwhile because of Beaver Nuggets. If you've never been to a Buc-ee's, you're missing out. If you have been to a Buc-ee's, you already know.
I lived in Houston for only 2 years, but I miss buc-ee’s and Freebirds burritos so much
@steampunkwhale2280 lived in texas my whole life. Had freebirds for the first time last month. Yeah it's amazing
But-ees is THE best pitstop. It’s a zoo in there but don’t pass up the beef jerky.
23.5 mpg at 78 mph is good imo. My old 4L V6 taco, even when new would be around 18mpg at that speed.
Yeah towing a travel trailer at 60mph in my ‘15 was ~9mpg. This thing has appears to have more useable power, better gearing than the old 4.0.
Crushes my 2023 Colorado TB with 33inch KO2s. Once I cross above 65mph it gets thirsty.
My friend’s 6.7 4x4 f250 got that. A small truck should have gotten way better
The mpg will drop drastically when all they offer is road equipment is added on
I have a Silverado with the 2.7 turbo 4, on South Dakota interstates doing 80 I get 16-17, doing 65 on highways I get around 20-22. It’s pretty good, but with the extra weight of the Silverado I feel like it’s on par. Not sure why the Colorado doesn’t get better. Doesn’t make sense.
You guys are fastest to You tube with production Tacoma, you took the time and went out of your way and drove the extra miles to bring everyone this video. 👏
Thanks, you say it first on TFL😉
TFL is the best!
TFL is on top of it but it's too bad they didn't get a discount for that color :)
@@wallylama31 I like blue
The new Tacoma content is great and rumor has it that the next gen Tacoma will be released in 2040.
That early? I doubt it
They’re designing it now. They’ll have one “ready” by 2035, but won’t release it til 2042. 4 years after their competitors release new and improved midsize trucks.
Toyota doesn't even care, they're like if it says Tacoma on it, people overpay for one
@@RW-zh7klexactly. Look at the 4runner. People will continue to slurp the Toyota Kool-aid
@@NWI_Steelas they should
“Let’s get beaver nuggets!” That cracked me up!
If you visit East Texas and don't get beaver nuggets, you screwed up.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872there’s buccees everywhere in texas
They are sooo good !
bruh, i just tried those for the first time last week in FL. All i have to say is good thing they arent in Maine. Id gain so much weight. lol
@@ethenjordan2010 you can order them online
Thanks for the MPG tests TFL!
I can squeeze 26 mpg out of my 4x4 23 Frontier on the highway, but none the less a big improvement for Tacoma mpg. Excited to see how the hybrid preforms.
Same here 25.5 routinely in my Frontier at 75 MPH. Not bad for a 310 HP v6.
@@phw2274 I appreciate the real world data on the Frontier as I plan on buying one. Even though most manufacturers are going to turbos I prefer the NA V6. Plus the fact that a comparably equipped Frontier is about $10K less than a Tacoma given the huge price increase by Toyota.
Frontier is a better truck!
I have a ‘24 Frontier SV Crew Cab LWB 4x4 and it puts out 23mpg at 75 mph on the interstate.
@@IrishDevil78 Are you satisfied with the truck? What do you like the most about the truck and what do you like the least? I plan on buying the same trim level that you have and it’s always nice to hear from real world owners. Thank you.
This makes me feel good about my Tacoma I’m picking up tomorrow, same trim. Soo many people complained of poor mpg estimates, honestly this is fine at what you guys achieved
My 2023 gets 16.5 mpg when I drive very conservatively so yeah, huge improvement.
Not sure what are you doing. I get 19-20 in city/highway driving on my 23 trd off road
the problem with turbo charged engines is the heat soak. when cars sit in traffic or in the drive thru lane, they generate a lot of engine bay heat. that heat builds up. it then will "soak the engine" in heat. high intake temps for turbo charged engines is NOT good. it can cause decreased performance. and decreased overall lifespan of the engine. the goal with a turbo charged engine is keeping it cool. NEVER idle like its a N/A engine. Turn the engine off, even if its for 1 minute.
@@drywater3559 that's why the trd off road trim gets an extra new 3 in direct hose to the radiator for extra cooling vs lower trims or previous gens, also I live in a rural area with little to no traffic idle times.
I didn't forget that gas vehicles lose half it's range just as electric but as Andrea pointed out it only took two minutes to fill back up, plus there's gas stations everywhere & you don't have to unhook the trailer as you probably would if it was electric.
Great video, thanks for the ride along.
Diesel where it’s at 4 towing fs
@@zacharyewing8858it is, but with a midsize truck you probably aren't towing something on the regular.
Who is Andrea???
EV loses 2/3 range
That’s the fundamental problem that has to be solved to make EVs attractive for towing. The availability of charging stations will increase over time, but the speed of charging will take a change in battery technology.
My mother in law in Thailand has a 2020 Toyota Hilux. Its a crew cab, 4x4 2.8 Turbo Diesel 6 spd manual. Very similar trim to this TRD off-road and without babying it at all i get 26mpg around town and 33 on the highway. Its a damn shame toyota will not bring that motor to the US.
That's the truck I want.
That engine produces 204hp and 500nm at the regular trim, in the Hilux gazoo racing up to 224hp and 550nm. It's a beast, i'm from Argentina and I want a Tacoma too
Toyota designed the Hilux to last 30+ years in undeveloped areas/roads, usually overloaded. They are beasts for sure.
This is the truck I would buy. IF THEY WOULD JUST SELL THE DANG THING IN THE USA.....
@@mesomemore97 If allowed to sell in the USA.
That big of iced tea I have to stop in 30 minutes 😂
Texas-sized iced tea!
No problem if your towing a trailer
I towed a 5x8 u Haul trailer with my 20 Explorer across CT, NY and PA to Ohio (about 600 miles) and averaged 17 MPG @65 MPH. Both row of seats were folded down and interior full, plus had a rooftop cargo box. First 400 miles basically climbing. The Explorer was a lot more broken in, though.
Newest Gen Tacoma videos from TFL! Looking forward to all the videos and content! 🤠😎
The advantage of a small displacement turbocharged factory motor is it will have great low end torque which helps for fuel economy.
The downfall of a small displacement turbocharged engine when towing is that in order to maintain freeway speeds, the motor is almost always in positive boost pressure from the turbocharger. A naturally aspirated engine will typically run around 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio when cruising. A small displacement turbocharged engine will be programmed to run around 12.5:1 when under low boost. So, it will always be less efficient while towing.
Plus, that route on 287 from D/FW up to Raton, New Mexico and then up to Denver is gaining in elevation the entire way, which is also going to hurt fuel economy.
Yes! I live in Albuquerque and drive to Denver often. Elevation changes from 5,000 feet to 7,500 feet multiple times. From west Texas you go from 3,000 feet to 7,500 feet in a short distance.
What octane fuel does it take to? Premium required?
And its a lot of long and flat. I live in nm and its windy real bad during those periods between spring and fall when the cold and warm fronts start moving around. Semis blow over. Pushes your vehicle around on tbe road esspecially motorcycles vans... trailers etc. Plus you want a reliable vehicle because it sucks to break down an hour out from albuquerque and there isnt anything anywhere you wait for a tow it will cost. You want to make it the whole way 😂 youd be suprised how fast things can go downhill even if its mostly flat the whole way
Such simple & wonderful editing, all to the point! Perfect review! Thank you guys!
Great video! Thanks for making it and all of your content! I love the “stunt grapes”!😂
I put the Trail Terrains on about a month after they came out. They have been a great tire and mileage impact was less than 1mpg at highway speeds over the car style tires they replaced. Wet and snow traction have been really good. Highway performance has been great also. Definitely getting them again.
I've bought my last 2 trucks because of TFL and their reviews. Keep it up. Also, is it just me or does this truck look more like the Colorado than the previous Tacoma??
Thank you for showing real world performance. Currently evaluating whether I purchase this vehicle.
Awesome review! You guys are living the dream
Those trailers are gonna sell like hotcakes… says no one. 😂
What a ripoff!
😂😂😂
not for that kind of money
I think they are waaaaaay overpriced but I am willing to offroad camp under a tonneau cover so I am probably not the average demographic for them.
55k that’s a big heeeeell no!
Buying a brand new truck, then immediately jumping on the interstate for a 1000+ mile road trip, while towing a trailer can’t be great for break-in.
You got this Andre! Love that "whatever dude, I can't process words, all I can do is DRIVE" mentality... it's exactly what you need for that overnight push. Nice work brother!💪
Thank you for being so quick to get this info out to us viewers.
I love the Taco but dissapointed in the towing MPG and range. I guess its the bi-product of turbo charging a small displacement engine. My Gen 1 Raptor gets around 9-10mpg towing a 2500lb trailer (flat land FL), but with a 36 gallon gas tank, range is not a problem. You guys are probably the best on TH-cam for car reviews. Unbiased and informative. Thank you for that!
Towing a 2,500 lb trailer?? Only 9-10 mpg is no good. I've towed more with my little 4cyl Escape and got double that in mpgs with premium.
@@WarrenG302V8you do not double your range with premium lmmfao
Also his v8 raptor gets about 11-12 mpg unladed
@@mattbrew11 I never said premium doubles my mileage. I stated I get about double the mpgs pulling a heavier trailer with my little 4cyl. I use premium when towing and it really doesn't affect my mpgs unloaded but I run it to protect the engine.
That trailer was shaped like a brick with all those offroad extras hanging on the top and sides, also it was running off road tires which compound the mpg losses. Would probably get over 15mpg with something more aerodynamic running all seasons.
Towing and speed kill the mpg on smaller vehicles, like the Tacoma. Want better mpg when towing - a diesel is in your future.
Turning the dash lights down, old eyes tricks… lol
Glad to see you two doing a video the young-ins are great too but us old folks like the og hosts too. Always love and appreciate your content, more corvette videos please!!! I’m considering a c5/c6 for my 40th b day coming up.
Sport guy, I have two C-5’s a conv and a Z. GREAT Cars. As for age I’m 75 and refuse to act my age.
Man this brings back memories. I used to go to that bucc ees all the time when I lived down there.
Great video guys! I am loving this series so far. That taco in the blue is stunning!
Thank you for watching.
Love TFL truck! The only TH-cam vides that test trucks the correct way! The way we use them!
Right on!
lol most “truck” people never tow or haul anything
Thats right, getting groceries and looking cool doing it.
I had a 2010 Tacoma for about 10 years and I didn't have one single issue with it. They're great trucks for sure. They've toned down the styling a little bit so they really look pretty good again. If Toyota made something like the Ramcharger in a Tundra I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I like that they have a hybrid but I think RAM has it figured out with the Ramcharger. Very excited to see you fellas test one of those when they come out.
I have a 24 trd pro tundra and no way would i take the ram. Test drove one and it's ok but the Tundra is a home-run!!
Im just going to get into classic motorized carriage building. You might see me out here mig welding some stuff i chop sawed
Another great video!! This is the truck l was waiting for you to get!!!!
You two gentleman are great I enjoyed the trip great video.
Funny guys!!!! Love the content as always!!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Just traded my 18 TRD sport for a 19 Chevy 1500 trail boss with the 5.3l v8. Better highway fuel economy, bigger truck, 4wd, and the biggest thing is it doesn’t feel like it has to dig deep and scream at high RPM to give you an extra 3 mph. Also have towed with it already, 15mpg and felt effortless
We loved our 2020 Silverado 1500 Trail Boss. Congrats on a new truck.
That seems like such a good choice and i am a ford guy.
Time will tell.
And also let us know how many issues you get with ur new truck😂
Hopefully you won’t be a victim of tailgate, ( tailgate latches failed effecting 300,000 GM trucks )
Destruct-o-matic the 8 and 10 speed transmissions have a very high fail rate to the point where my dealer kept 3 or 4 in stock
Destruct-o-cam. The 5.3s have an issue where the camshaft fails and fails significantly. ( Repair process involves disassembly of the entire front end of the truck ) most cams fail before 7,000 miles
Crack-o-roof. GM was using cheaper sheet metal for the roof and a large number of Silverados suffered a significant crack in the metal. The repair was to drill holes in front of and behind the crack. Fill the mess with sealer and bondo over it and repaint it.
Those are the recalls I know of and given I left my dealership in July of 23 there could be more
I just got 20.9 in my 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro today from CA to AZ not to shabby!
I’m looking forward to the new 2024 TRD Pro I can’t wait to see that review with these guys!
I love my trail terrains! I got out every weekend on trails and have had no issues.
So glad to hear you made it home safe. Also glad to hear that the new Tacoma’s seats and engine are better. The small gas tank in our 2019 Tacoma becomes a source of frustration whenever I’m towing our gear and motorcycles for trips or events. Especially when we’re headed out for 6-12 hour drive it feels like we have to stop for gas every 75 miles because we’re worried we might not make it to the next gas station 50 miles away. Can’t wait to see more!
My 2021 V8 Tundra towing my 15’ travel trailer will get 10-12mpg…. The new Tacoma was not designed for towing, period but it’s still a nice truck.
I'd still get over 20 mpg out of my 05 Dodge Ram diesel with that little trailer.🤣
For what it is but i mean in 200 years theyre going to look at us with our model 3s corollas f150s tacomas as like a bunch of heathen 😂
Love these vids.. awesome..great job as always guys...glad to see blueberry in action..awesome stuff
Finally the video I been waiting for
My 2023 p4x Nissan frontier is still king of gas mileage at 25.1 miles per gallon on a 500 mile road trip.
I have similar numbers on roadtrips with our Ridgeline, that thing is also really economical.
That's because Nissan is the best truck ever! Lol
@@JuckiCZ the honda ridgeline is much lower to the ground and more aerodynamic than this tacoma trd offroad truck
@@carholic-sz3qv still no Nissan, just sayin
@@thewireman134 Thank god....
Man it’s a real head scratcher as to why they shrunk the fuel tank size. The range is brutal even with a more efficient engine vs last Gen.
Love this! Wonderful informational video!
Can’t wait to eventually get one of these. Think I’ll wait another year or two as most new gen trucks will have issues. Awesome video!
Had a 2005 hemi 1500 crew that would get 21 hwy and 15-17mpg hwy pulling a flats boat. Had leather and much bigger comfortable cab. Great premium stereo, put a 100k on her and only replaced tires and brakes. Paid 25K otd the good ole days
You guys made Amarillo by morning
Up from Santa Fe
@@golferpro1241 true king George fans know it’s Amarillo by mornin’ up from San Antone
Great video guys!
Dang I barely missed you guys! We were having a Storm Chaser conference at the hotel next door to Bucees, we had the big armored tornado intercept trucks and everything!
Really liking this new Taco's look. If it weren't for the cost and limited availability with my preferred color, would of bought one.
I got a 10 year old Taco 2.7 and it has been a very reliable and capable truck. If you drive over 70mph in this it will gulp gas like no tomorrow!! Thanks for the review. Now if I win the lottery the 2024 Taco will be on my wish list!
Not for me, I bought a different truck instead. More expensive but far more reliable and funner to drive.
You mean 2.7
If i were to ever buy a new truck to replace my current truck, which happens to be a 2011 Tacoma it would definitely be this. A new TRD off road i love the 24 mpg number and for me personally and i think the majority of Tacoma buyers the towing mpg numbers dont matter that much. Most people in the market for this size truck aren't towing regularly what matters is the fact the truck can tow a trailer of this size if you wanted to. Folks towing regularly i think obviously would be looking at Tundra's or even larger. Great video guys keep the Tacoma content coming, cant wait to see it off road where this truck will hopefully shine.
Glad you guys say it’s comfortable. But seeing your knees up by the window sills doesn’t inspire confidence as another 6 footer myself.
Yea I’ll looking at the two of them in there and saying to myself, I’m never gonna fit. Though I’ve never been comfortable in any taco so I didn’t have an hopes. I’ve written off any and all midsize anything
Not Toyotas problem
@@allentoyokawa9068 k?
You should give it a try. Sit in it.
Looks like my regular cab 2020 f150 has more leg room I wonder if they had he seats all the way back
Interesting review. I wanted a new Colorado or Taco but my lease was up and nothing was available. I leased a new 23 Silverado 4x4 LT with the 2.7 turbo 4.
So far I am very pleased with the Lil 4 banger. My 1st trip from East TN to Houston and return, including city driving, was 26 mpg. I was very impressed.
My overall mileage for 6500 miles is 22.7
If I knew you were going to be so close to home I'd have invited you over...love the content!
Thanks guys ! Great video and great looking truck,love the tacomas but still to pricy for my budget !
That’s a sweet looking frontier! Nissan sure is doing well with these designs
Said no one ever
I love that 2010 ish screen with 1 inch of edge around it. I think your colorado trail boss beats tacoma in towing,power, looks, price, and interior.
Great series so far!
Wow! That trailer blows my mind! I want one!
Sasquatch Expedition Campers! We love it
Shouldnt have shrunk the fuel tank. 21 gallon tank like the old model with the improved mpg would have been a nice fuel range improvement.
At least 25 gal.
Left lane driving at the speed limit is dangerous in Texas. It's for passing only.
As a new mexican i say new mexico texas and arizona should install our own clearly suprior version of the autobahn. We shoot it from the edge of cali across arizona across new mexico across texas then we shoot it up north to denver midaswell. Did you see that guy i think they arrested him hengot from colorady springs to denver is a crazy time because he went like 150 whole way on a sport bike. Thats what im about. Let me cut that trip to an hour and a half each way.
I could also be reccomending a terrible mistake.
@TheAnnoyingBoss We have that already. It's called I10.
Love a good road trip video! Looking to buy that truck soon. Stay on it for me👊
Fuel economy unloaded is pretty impressive. Glad the ride and seating position are comfortable.
That small fuel tank would drive me nuts. Yes - it gets better mileage then my 2019 tacoma but even that has 21 gallons. New Colorado has 22 gallons. Why only 17 gallons?
Factory did the math, 24mpg x 17 gallons is over 400 miles, factory said its time to stop at Buc-ee’s .
I thought reading the specifications it was a 18 gallon tank?
The smaller tank is to reduce the gross weight to meet government standards. Even a couple of extra gallons of fuel, would make the truck meet different safety standards.
@@adventure9606but a larher gas tank doesnt cost that much and you dont have to fill it up all the way. Our last f150 and our a3 read over 500 miles range
That is really a good looking truck 🛻, 👍
Thanks 👍
That blue looks beautiful! Recently I had to swallow a tough pill that was I probably won't be getting a TRD Pro. ☹ But then again a Sport Premium is almost everything I wanted in a Pro. It sounds like the iForce Max won't drive in electric only, and I don't really need the extra power if that's all it adds.
Congrats 🎊 on your new addition. Here is name I got for it sapphire.
I agree with Roman with the tiny radio knob. I drove a tundra and had the same complaint. It looks so chinsy and cheap feeling.
That radio knob looks like what came on my 2023 Tacoma OR and they kinda sucked. I replaced it with some knobs from AJT Design. Much better.
The Rav4 knobs fit on my 21 tacoma. Much better and still illuminated

Love these new purchase road trips you guys put together. Especially when its on such an all new product. Do you guys have any plans for testing the GM 2.7 TurboMax in the Silverado/Sierra platform like Ike and MPG loops?
Roman and Andre are a good duo to watch, I enjoy them.
Toyota always seems to force its customers to buy factory installed accessories that don’t necessarily add value to the new owner. The dealers do this also, so you end up having several thousand dollars of inflated costs.
Adaptive cruise control is one of the few tech options I would pay good money for. I've been to Florida, Texas and back from Michigan several times and ACC makes driving So So much more stress free and easier. You can set your distance spacing from vehicles in front and the system will speed match up/down for whatever is in front and emergency deceleration is pretty strong in case you're not paying attention. Pay attention! My 8700 lb 2020 Ford Transit 350 HD dually camper van has the optional 31 gallon fuel tank with a range of just about 400 miles. It's sad that truck gets a smaller tank. That's a real FAIL in my estimation...
My 2016 F-150 has the extended range 36 gallon tank and it’s one of my favorite things about the truck.
I mean, most people buying trucks now won't actually use it for truck stuff, so when you aren't towing the improved fuel economy with the smaller tank gives you solid range. Many people who live in cities are going to be using this for their daily commute to work or to the store. This being an off road variant, it wouldn't be out of the question to have fuel cans on it for when you're wheeling or camping.
I only hope you change the oil right away, that is pretty hard on a brand new vehicle. They do not recommend towing or going on highway at constant speed. 😢
@@raymikes1234 That truck will be sold by the end of the year...
I feel sorry for the next buyer or the one after that long term
11:00 downtown Dallas. I always enjoy checking out what's there on Main St.
Took my brand new 2001 TRD Tacoma wheeling for a few days when I had 500 miles on it.
I can’t be the only one that wants the air dam 😂. Roman would have been spot on with mpg prediction with it on. I would just take it off for off-roading and leave it on the other 99% of the time.
Man that thing looks goofy lol
@@rackemmm1947 it definitely does, but if there is a performance advantage for certain uses, I'm all for it as long as it's easily removable when you dont want or need it.
I’m with ya. Don’t think they look bad either.I have had Tacomas since 2012 Sports and off road and never took them off.
@Raybruce the air-dam didn't start on the Tacoma until 2016 and also never came on the Off Road.
@@Shakerhood69 My bad my 2012 did not have one my 2018 did and my new 2023 off road did not. Regardless I like them.
Hopefully TFL eventually gets to test MPG for the new truck with the 6MT - and see if it's any better than the 3rd gen pigs. That 4.30 rear end is awful for highway driving.
First, welcome to Texas y'all 😊. Great review on the new Tacoma. I enjoyed every minute of this ride from Texas to Colorado. By the way, I drove from Austin Texas (my home town) to Denver Colorado none stop ( besides food, gas, and restroom) on my 2015 Tacoma and I loved it 😊. Great video y'all. Go blueberry 💙
TFL guys thanks for the video showing off the new Taco. I love the boxy outside and boxy inside lines. I'm a GM guy and my next truck will be a Colorado Trail Boss but DANG that new Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road looks good, but specced the way I want it would be about $48,640 before the mark ups most Toyota Tacomas get, then my 10% sales tax so over $55K compared to a Colorado Trail Boss specced the way I want it for $42K, so after tax would be $47K and I am much more likely to get the dealer to go below MSRP on the Colorado than the Taco. But man that Taco does make me consider it. The Taco you pay more but you do get more in the off road suspension, and sway bar if optioned, I wouldn't pay for it, and the best part a manual transmission, but I don't want to pay over $45K for a truck so the TB is more in my price range.
50K for that trailer is absurd. Truck seems good, just overpriced a bit considering it's lacking basic stuff like the controller.
I simply do not understand Toyota’s decision to *shrink* the gas tank for the new generation Tacoma. I really hope they grow that tank size, or at least offer a bigger gas tank as an option in the 2025 or 2026 when I look at my next purchase.
What’s not to understand? They explained it in the video lol. Yeah it’s dumb but the trucks more fuel efficient so it doesn’t need as much fuel to go same difference
Probably for payload as well. On another video a base sr5 had 1200#. I'd assume the offroad has around 100 less. If my estimate is correct that's barely an improvement over the old taco. And this is a heavier truck so every bit of weight savings counts
Per the payload logic they should just eliminate the gas tank completely and add the freed up 18x6 pounds to the payload. Then Tacomas will be BYOGT (Bring Your Own Gas Tank) trucks. 😃
Always the after market you know someone will offer it lol
@@loweredyote8416 it’s only efficient when completely empty, when using it like a truck it’s needs a decent sized tank. Imagine how few miles they could travel if trying to tow 5500-6000 lb? 100 mi?
You’re doing that old song Amarillo By Morning. Believe me I travel through that state every time going going to y’all beautiful Colorado be back in July and October.
I have a 2006 SR5, 4 x 2, long bed, extended cab. I make a rocky mountain ski trip every year from northern NY,. Once I get my first gas tank fill, I usually get 28-31 mpg hwy.
Guys you didnt mention how fast you were traveling with and without the trailer ? That would make a difference in your gas mileage ? And also if you had a Tonneau cover on the back lots of wind going into that bed going down the road? But $ 50,000 ??? No way , To much for me !!! But it was a very good review , Thank You TFL !
Check your oil level after such a long drive
Good video!

I had a 2019 TRD offroad with a manual. Best MPG I ever saw was 20. usually it was 16-17. I regret selling that truck every time I think about it.
Ouch! I had the same but small lift, E rated BFG’s l, and a smartcap on the back and normally got 23 sometimes 25.
That gen Tacoma was the worst truck I’ve ever been in in my whole life. Weak minivan v6, terrible shifting minivan transmission, hideous exterior and interior, and my knees up in my chest when driving. I hated my rental. I don’t get why people like them.
I was told Tacoma’s with manual get worse fuel mileage than automatics because factory thinks you will tow a lot and put in a lower rear gear ratio. Dont know what years it applies to.
⭐️NICE THATS HOW YOU BREAK IN A NEW VEHICLE … BLQQDY AWESOME MATE👻
Great video
I've always loved Toyota tacoma, and I had a brand new 03 but lost it when my grandmother passed, she helped me to get it and it was in her name, but I've been wanting another one, but I really love the looks of the 19-24 silverados I might end up with one of those, but for now we just bought a house 3 years ago so I don't wanna go overboard yet 😂
I'm impressed, with those gas prices 😮
Great video! With the nuts inside the truck maybe Blue Balls is a better name 😅
Adaptive cruise is great. The Taco is nice
i can't believe your navigation took you through downtown Dallas 😂
I recommend first 1000 mile oil change then every 5000 miles do an oil change ❤❤❤❤❤❤love the videos
3,000 better
What are you driving? A 1989 Ford Ranger? Yes dont' trust the Toyota engineers. Trust a random post on you tube. He "knows" it needs an oil change at 3000 miles cause daddy did it 45 years ago. @@andersonrodriguez8258
Nice taco 🔥🔥🔥
value your channel. The variety🙃 is great. Gosses Garage was a long running info source for me. He said topping off gas tank after the initial full shutoff will soak the charcoal canister .and cause gasoline fumes.
Beaver nuggets😂😂
