I have a 2016 with 25,000 miles. Battery went at 4 years. I put led lights in the front. No other mods or issues. Everytime I see it in the garage, I smile. I love this thing. Cool video
Owned my first Tacoma pickup for 25 years. 350,000 miles. I’m a fanatic about preventative maintenance. Changed oil every 3000 miles no exemptions. Replaced breaks at 125,000. Dealer said I could make a commercial. Replaced muffler system at about 300,000. Blew a head gasket at about 300,000. Got that taken care of. Replaced catalytic converter once. Had problems with the starter motor toward the end and had to have that fixed more than I would have liked but that truck was the best investment I ever made. Replaced it with a 3rd Gen TRD Sport. Love it and so does everybody else.
You sir definitely use your truck to the max. Toyota is so reliable if you maintain them the right way, they last so long. Good to hear from a real life experience of someone going more than 300k
head gasket blew at 300k? wow .. the was the first time or it happened prior as well? i work at a toyota dealership here in texas ive seen a few tacos with blown heads at about 90-120k
Just beginning my journey. Have 1700 miles on my Christmas present. Love watching your videos. Have been inspired seeing you adventure in a 2wd and plan to do the same
60k. 2019 2wd dclb sr5. Running HID headlights and Baja fogs.running 265/75/16 Goodyear. Haul 1000lbs average every day for work. Not a single problem so far. Note. It’s easier to change for a new hood with scoop than add crawl control
My 2016 has almost 130,000 miles on it now. The previous owner was a real estate broker who traveled a lot. It still runs and drives just like a brand new Taco!
Picked up my 2021 TRD offroad DCSB in army green with the tech package and led headlight package. I’m so happy! Chose automatic to enjoy the crawl control feature. Added Tyger side steps, IRX35 tint, a dash cam, and trifold cover. It does well off-roading in this stock form.
2019 TRD Off Road owner here with 25k miles. Upgrades: 1) 3” King Racing lift kit with 33” tires and American Racing wheels 2) LEDs in every hole plus ditch light pods on the A-pillars 3) SPOD switch pro module 4) Shift Commander - helps minimize 5/6 gear hunting on freeways with hills 5) Tool box with backup battery heavy duty cables to an underhood tender (charger) 6) Clazzio seat covers 7) Front speaker and dash tweeter upgrades and boom mat in both front doors 8) Center console divider This truck is going to last at least a decade with ordinary maintenance. The value and utility are extraordinary.
Been driving Yota SR5 trucks since 1990. I run about 30 to 35k miles a year. I normally get about 250 to 275k miles out of them before someone hits me. I have had 3 accidents over the years. My last truck was a 2nd Gen TRD OR with 247k on it. I traded it in for my current baby, a TRD OR 4-dr LB. I love it!
Man, you truly use your truck. Love it, initially I had that plan with my 2013 Prerunner, but the lack of power on the 2.7l and access cab was starting to bug me haha.
@@Michael_Tran Yeah, I work as a roadway construction inspector. I travel here, there, and yonder to reach the jobsite. Then a few miles on the jobsite. 4WD certainly helps when building new roads!
Sorry for your troubles . I recently hit 120,000 on my 2014 2.4L Tacoma with zero issues. The more tech the more issues. The digital displays are a drag
@Michael Tran the door click is from the black plastic level that goes in and out with the door.. you have to tighten up the door side of the bolt.. just run your hand along the side there and you will see a loose bolt.
131,000 on a 2016 TRD Off-road changed spark plugs at 96k new battery around the same time, wiper blades and air filters changed, but no issues! Oil change every 8-12k miles running royal purple.
Great Video and great looking ride, my 19 trd off road has 174k lifted fox shocks 3rd set of tires. The battery cooked at 105k I switched out all the lights to led . Oh and still original brakes. You’ve got a long way to go Bro!!! 😎🤘
2016 at 156,000mi so far. Hope it makes 400,000. I have owned several Toyotas and I can relate to your issues. Everything will break except for the engine and transmission.😊
Another excellent video. Thanx for taking us along..... As a retired Euro Car Tech (28 years) here's a couple of observations. 1. Batteries are a consumable part. They have a finite life span and modern electronics are hard on them. 2 or 3 years is a very common life span. I change mine out every 3 years regardless of condition. It's cheaper than a tow bill. 2. Your TPMS sensors were modified? Doesn't count as a failure. I have 20K on my 2019TRDOR. Hope its has as few problems as yours's.....
Awesome feedback Tom. That make sense with the battery. Newer cars do have tons of electronic compare to older cars. Wish I knew what they did with the tpms when they changed the tires.
I have a 2017 and one of my co workers has one too. Mine is a Trd offroad with 82,000 miles on it I use it hard with it loaded for work and 4 wheeling on the weekends. My co worker runs errands for work and just turned 180,000 miles on his. He doesn't haul as much as me and his is only a 2wd sport so it has a pretty easy life compared to mine. Neither one of us have had much for problems.
Man, you're getting up there with the miles. Glad nothing has broken down so far. We're just weekend warriors as well, but do enjoy seeing other states that's why there so much miles on it haha.
I have a 2016 Taco and the only thing that has broken is the tail gate bushing that lets the gate down easy. I have replaced that with a current design bushing and mount.
I got a 2020 Tacoma and I’m about to hit 100k miles on it, and thankfull, I’ve only dealt with oil changes, nothing has broken yet, but im anticipating it lol I’ve always loved Tacomas and this is my first one I was able to afford! I plan on keeping this one forever!
I got a 2021 2WD TRD sport. 1400 miles, suspension lift is going on next week. Thanks for the channel it has helped me make the decision to lift my truck and how to do it.
I’m going with Eibach stage 1, icon AAL, dirt king UCAs. 275/70/17 wild peaks, and method 316s I was originally going to jus do spacers and blocks but I scraped up as much $ as I could to try and achieve a little better ride and some functionality.
Just hit 100k on my 2016 TRD Off-road. Thank you for the video. Same issue with the battery but with a jump I just went to autozone and replaced there. Also shocks went out around 80k. I sure do like off-roading so that was to be expected. Had to reset the seatbelt light sensor, I’m assuming something shook loose when off-roading but it was free at the dealer (after some heated discussion). Love the truck, good video, hope my info can help other owners.
Thanks for the input...good to know a few more things that can potentially break down. Its so common especially how much I've taken her out. Honestly I wouldn't trade her for anything else.
I have a Tacoma TRD Offroad pre runner SR5 with nearly 200K miles with no issues. But i don't modify anything from factory besides larger tires on factory rims. I do know people who do modifications and live to regret it. Another thing is I don't have a backup camera but know those who do. And when they lift the truck beyond factory specs, they seem to have a problem with backup camera. Toyota has done a good job building the Tacoma but it's not to be messed with in my opinion. My truck doesn't give me a lick of problem, but I don't modify it from factory specs.
We get screwed in Canada for the 2023 . The Only choices we get for manual is TRD Off Road Standard package but Access cab, TRD Sport Premium and the TRD Pro. And only the choices for Bird eye and LED lights is Pro and LTD edition.
Nice, thorough review! Sitting at around 2k miles right now-no problems yet! If you were to get a TRD, get the Off Road for the rear locker. We’re really going to miss this 2wd Tacoma-it’s given us so much inspiration. There are more fellow 2wd Tacoma’s out there than you might think, just hiding in the shadows. It’ll be sad to see her go.
Thanks bro. 2k, it's till tons of adventure left haha. I might keep the 2wd for the content lol. But thanks for the feedback, ill definitely still debating on the purchase.
Im excited, thinking of getting the sr5 for my first truck. I learned to drive on my dads green 98 tacoma, loved the truck and these new ones looks so sexy 😍
My ‘95 Honda did that door hinge noise too. It had to be with the door pin getting worn down. I just put a bolt through and tightened it down. It fixed it
2021 Tacaoma SR battery started leaking at 15k miles. Leaked acid all over the fender and somehow acid also got on the hood. Toyota repalced the battery under warranty and had to have the truck repainted under the hood. Total cost $2300 covered under warranty thankfully
Thanks, yea she's a money pit for sure but totally worth it. Actually that was in Yellowstone and really normal to see bison walking on the street like that.
@@Michael_Tran I was thinking about going 33s for the the tires until I can put 35s. What do you think? I'm running stock tires but want it to look a little better.should I wait?
@@WEAPONZ3RO I know if you're planning on running 35s, recommend you re-gears and a few others, im currently running 285s, but if that's you're route I think just do it once and do it right...IMO
What are the differences. Just curious. I was looking at some of these and I figured I probably wouldn’t go off-roading too often so thought sport would be better but would love to hear some feedback from people who own the already.
@@spencerdrozdowski7561 I would've purchased either one ,for me I like the black wheel flares on the off road vs. the painted ones on the sport. The off road has a locking rear diff and the sport doesn't but I'm sure its still quite a capable rig.
Great video! What has broke on the Tacoma? Wear and tear parts 🤣! Oem batteries are terrible in most vehicles. I moved my old Optima yellow top from my Subaru into the Honda and it’s still going strong. There was One video where I spent a whole night trying to kill it by leaving the car on, didn’t happen. A portable jump starter is a good thing to have, I carry two and keep them stowed away from electronically open doors like my tail gate. Car dies and I can’t get back there
Yea, most of these are things that wouldn't bother me. Honestly, Toyota are so reliable that ill be awhile til some mechanical issue will come up. But hopefully it doesn't happen soon haha
2019 sr5 dclb 78k 2wd. Truck has Trd pro shocks and wheels with 265/75/16 Goodyear. Skid plate. Change rear diff and transmission oil at 60k. I haul about 1200 pounds daily. Battery is original. Running HID headlights and BD fogs. And last I had to replace the plastic bushing for $10 on the tailgate. Good idea to buy one ahead because it’s a pain to open the tail gate without the damping.
I just got my 2022 TRD 4X4 off-road 6-speed manual mine is the totally basic truck along with being manual transmission no technology package no backup sensors no blind spot monitoring no sunroof no heated seats... But that's 🆒 with me tho, less shit 2 break later on i guess
Get the TRD Off Road, I have a 2019 long bed, love it. Trade the fake hood scoop for funcional tools like the Crawl Control and Multiterrain Select, and the locking differential. They’re priced the same, TRD Sport is just “looks” and the fender flares are body painted which suck when you wheel because pinstripes will not disappear.
@@Michael_Tran you could also look into an arb air locker, then you’d also have on board air for inflating tires. I’m thinking of buying one for my 2001 pre runner 🤙
@@ethangordon6592 That's another route im thinking of going too, hopefully financially I can get a newer truck, but if not it's the most cost effective for sure.
Currently have a 2wd 2021 Off Road, not going to lie I've found myself wanting a 4x4 but then I realize here in sunny Southern California, I dont really need one... and then I ran into your videos & it makes feel a lot better knowing I can do all these things with "just" a 2WD. Love your videos & your truck! Thank you Michael!
Thanks for the positive feedback and encouragement bro. Yea, 4x4 sounds nice but 2wd have gotten us to some cool places for sure. I might keep the truck for the content haha
I have a 2016 SR5 V6 4x4. Got it use with 72000 miles. I had the 3rd break lite leak and I just had timing chain cover resealed, it was leaking oil. Both were covered under the certified pre-owned warranty. I got lucky on those. Given those 2 problems I love my truck. I know it will get to over 200k
Wow...glad the warranty covered it. Would've been an expensive fix. Yea, I don't doubt that if I keep this Tacoma, I can easily go 200k. They are so reliable.
Good information. The battery is 24F (super common) good for four years. I have a TOPDON ($50) battery tester and start checking after they are two years old. I just got a 2021 DCLB (Double Cab Long Bed) Off-Road. I like having the 6' bed, comes in handy. The 2021 "car play" is still the sucky etune. No Google maps, nor Waze, Scout GPS is the only option (it sucks). 2022 will be a new design, hopefully with true Android Car Play. For me Off-Road as I wanted the locker (95% of my off-road is easily done in 2WD, 4.9% in 4WD; so 0.1% I can use a locker.) I'll add rock sliders, mainly as insurance to prevent a crushed rocker and a door not functioning The biggest downside is our 950-pound payload gets reduced. My FJ60 was deadstock, still running at 400,000 miles (maintenance, don't overlook brake fluid and power steering every five years. The fuel tank was replaced under Toyota Warranty but clutch (250,000 miles), water pump, and alternator/starter brushes, and wear items. The only other tip, there are a ton of knock-off "OEM" parts being sold on Amazon and eBay. As much I hate the dealership, I do buy items from them to ensure they are OEM and not "made in china, but marked "all original Japan". Huge problem. Too old to make videos anymore, so keep up the good work and keep 'em coming.
Man, some good infos Tom. Thanks for the support, us youngster can learn a lot from you guys. I hope to have this truck for a long time so thanks for the tips. I agree the long bed comes in handy.
I bought a new 2020 TRDPRO last year. I would do it again. I installed an aftermarket DS A pillar grab handle, Diamondback bed cover and a few other minor goodies. All the major things like tires, suspension etc. I have no desire to modify.
Nice vid and glad you haven’t suffer like me. I have a 2017 Tacoma Off-road. So far I have paint peeling issues and Tacoma has done nothing. Also my timing chain cover is leaking at 74k miles. I feel I got a lemon. Shame on Toyota
Man..that sucks. Sorry to hear that...seems definitely likely a lemon. I've always had good things with Tacoma...currently my 2021 is my 4th Toyota truck with no major issue
@@VasquezTRD4x4 ARB locker seems like a good option as well. Honestly im not sure how often I will be using some of the feature on the off road, but well see I guess.
Now this is what I want to hear from 3rd Gen owners! I’m in it for the long haul too. My 19’ only has 20k miles but want to join the Toyota High Mileage Crew! Great to hear. 🤙
2016 trd off-road with 78000 miles. Used for over landing and daily driver. Only do what you need to do for off road travel. Get the 6’ bed. Amazing times in super remote areas in the southwest and Colorado.
O4 Tacoma SR5 150,000 miles. Just put on my 2nd water pump. First one was (leaking) but did not fail @ 70,000 miles. Dealer wanted $750. My local garage did it with a NAPA pump for $285. Just back in @ 146,000 for oil change and water pump leaking again. Replaced with another NAPA pump. I use the truck to tow my camper out of town which accounts for most of the miles. Next time they tell me it's leaking I think I will drive it until it fails and see how many miles it will go while carrying a pare pump.
Awesome that you're getting a 4x4! It's going to give you so much more confidence as to the trails you can take. Although I'm pretty damn impressed by the places you've been able to take your 4x2 so far!
Yea, I've definitely use the heck out of this truck. A 4x4 though will definitely fit our lifestyle much better as we're getting more and more into overlanding/off-roading.
2016 TRD sport with tech package, 1.5 lift front 1 rear. New battery last week. 44k miles, BSM went out at 38k, otherwise no issues. Only one recall on frame, made in Mexico
There was a TSB on it so waiting to see if anything is covered, otherwise almost 800.00. Looks easy enough to replace, so can get by for price of the modular behind left bumper cap for 300.00
My 2017 sport 4x4 manual is doing great at 133,000. Besides replacing consumables the only thing so far that might need major service is going to be the steering rack
@@Michael_Tran i took my tacoma in the route of brute power for such a small truck compared to other trucks. It’s pretty funny actually cause people will see it and think it won’t beat their stang and then it does🤣! I absolutely love your yota though it looks so good!
2016 limited with 98,000 the only issues I've had were the windshield chipping easily the bed cover leaking and the AC on the PS is not as cold for some reason!
I used to work at a toyota dealership in the parts department I think the noise in your door might be the door stop needs replacing. You may wanna check that part out to see if that may be the issue.
@@Michael_Tran honestly we’ve only taken it in to Toyota for maintenance and everything else the only issue has been rough idle but we got that taken care of.
Is there something unique to replacing the battery in these trucks. You mentioned you had to have it towed to replace the battery. Just curious, Thanks
Im not sure...but my situation was it didn't take a charge at all and was getting dark on a job. Had to tow it to a mechanic to get it replace so I can have a vehicle for work the next day.
I’m a window cleaner myself. I had a wagon that I worked out of that crapped out finally at 227k miles. I ordered a trd off road double cab long bed in army green to use mainly for work but also some fun. Hope it’s worth the car payment lol
Nice...how long have you been in the window cleaning business? I started when I was 17...going on 20 years. The Tacoma have made me a lot of money and have gotten us to see some beautiful area. I didn't mind the payment since it's so reliable.
@@Michael_Tran Man you been at it awhile! Expert level at that point lol. I got into window cleaning about 8 years ago. I couldn’t think of a better job considering what you can make and the flexibility of your schedule (so long as your self employed), except for when it’s -20 outside during winter out here in Iowa haha
WHEN YOUR BATTERY NEEDS REPLACED IT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR TRUCK HAS BROKEN DOWN. I SEE OTHERS IN THE COMMENTS ECHOING THAT THEIR BATTERY BROKE DOWN TOO. THIS IS SSSSSTTTAAANNNNDARDDD MAINTINANCE JESUS CHRIST
Just picked up a 2021 TRD Pro Tacoma, and I love this thing! I can only hope to have a trouble-free experience for the lifetime of ownership. I mean its a Toyota after all, right? 🤣
I too picked up a 2021 Pro. 1100 miles to date. I bet you I get this to 500k miles in 25 years. I’m real anal about changing all of my fluids before OEM recommendations. Just changed the engine oil at 1k. At 5k I’m going to change the oil and filter again, to flush out anything during the break in period, along with my differentials, transfer case AND transmission oils. I know I’m CRAZY!
More Love than hate. TPMS unit is battery operated & wears out. Good to know truck will still operate without working TPMS. If you change a TPMS unit, it has to be programmed to the truck computer.(A Pain). When I 1st got my 18 MT Taco, I went to Amazon & ordered a Jeep grab handle. Remove the plastic cover on the dr-side pillar, there are 2 metal mounts for a gr-handle. Recently you can order a factory dr-side gr-handle kit for your Taco.
Yea, that's another reason I didn't want to deal with the TPMS, they said it has to be done at the dealership. I've seen a few mods for the grab handle, ill look into too. Thanks for the reference.
Get the TRD off road 4x4 because of the rear locker. That’s the only thing I regret but I’m thinking of adding the rear locker to my sport 4x4. You can swap out the hood for a sport one later lol. And crazy my battery also died at around 50k, kind of got me by surprise lol but other than that everything else has been great 👍🏻 nice video FYI I’m sure your aware but u actually hit 100k miles before the odometer showed it because of the bigger tires 🤭😂
The locker looks more and more useful nowadays haha. Yea, the battery seems like an issue for a lot of Taco owner. I didn't know the bigger tires made that much of a difference on the mileage. Wow, maybe iam at 125k?
2018 TRD OR Double cab midnight black on black 77,000 Still has original battery, no issues at all aside from being a gas hog for a V6 🤣 Engine oil (every 5k), diffs+Tcase oil (every 30k), trans flush (60k), spark plugs (70k they looked perfectly fine tbh), pads, rotors, tires, one fog lamp (changed everything to LEDs afterwards) and wiper fluid. That's it. That's all I've ever needed to do. The wiper blades, rear shoes, brake fluid, coolant and power steering fluid are all that's still from the factory. Nuts
My 2021 battery went on my truck the 1st year. The dealer replaced the battery with another Toyota battery (free of charge) that has a 7 or 8 year warranty! I didn't know that existed. I will use that warranty if need be lol.
Man i wish i got 300 pkus on full tank of gas..😒😥 i get 12 to 13 mpg and 250 miles on full tank.. what size tire u have? Im at 285 70 17 and people are telling me cuz of my tires but shouldnt be that much of a drastic change in mpg...
I have a 2016 with 25,000 miles. Battery went at 4 years. I put led lights in the front. No other mods or issues. Everytime I see it in the garage, I smile. I love this thing. Cool video
We always do a double take, sometime triple take when walking away from the truck haha. I feel ya.
Lemme how its running. About to buy a 2016 now in 2021 because good prices.

As a retired Euro Car Tech (28 years) here's a couple of observations.
1. Batteries are a consumable part. They have a finite life span and modern electronics are hard on them. 2 or 3 years is a very common life span. I change mine out every 3 years regardless of condition. It's cheaper than a tow bill.
2. Your TPMS sensors were modified? Doesn't count as a failure.
I have 20K on my 2019TRDOR. Hope its has as few problems as yours's.....
Awesome feedback Tom. That make sense with the battery. Newer cars do have tons of electronic compare to older cars. Wish I knew what they did with the tpms when they changed the tires.
@@Michael_Tran have you tried the tpms reset button? I know when I have done tire rotations, I had to reset the system by holding the button.
@@JAMESWUERTELE I already got rid of them so long ago, I was quoted to get new ones but I opt out instead haha
I have a 2017 and one of my co workers has one too. Mine is a Trd offroad with 82,000 miles on it I use it hard with it loaded for work and 4 wheeling on the weekends. My co worker runs errands for work and just turned 180,000 miles on his. He doesn't haul as much as me and his is only a 2wd sport so it has a pretty easy life compared to mine. Neither one of us have had much for problems.
Man, you're getting up there with the miles. Glad nothing has broken down so far. We're just weekend warriors as well, but do enjoy seeing other states that's why there so much miles on it haha.
I have a 2016 Taco and the only thing that has broken is the tail gate bushing that lets the gate down easy. I have replaced that with a current design bushing and mount.
That's not bad at all
I got a 2020 Tacoma and I’m about to hit 100k miles on it, and thankfull, I’ve only dealt with oil changes, nothing has broken yet, but im anticipating it lol
I’ve always loved Tacomas and this is my first one I was able to afford! I plan on keeping this one forever!
Nice man! Im sure with the proper care ill last for another 100k easily
I got a 2021 2WD TRD sport. 1400 miles, suspension lift is going on next week. Thanks for the channel it has helped me make the decision to lift my truck and how to do it.
Nice. Glad it can help you out. The Taco will look so good after the lift. What lift are you going with? New tires and wheel as well?
I’m going with Eibach stage 1, icon AAL, dirt king UCAs. 275/70/17 wild peaks, and method 316s I was originally going to jus do spacers and blocks but I scraped up as much $ as I could to try and achieve a little better ride and some functionality.
I have a 2017 trd sport , recently purchased first thing i did was upgrade the lights looks amazing with led lights.
I agree, I was hoping to get some led but going to save for the 4x4
Good review 👍thanks 😊
No problem
Just hit 100k on my 2016 TRD Off-road. Thank you for the video. Same issue with the battery but with a jump I just went to autozone and replaced there. Also shocks went out around 80k. I sure do like off-roading so that was to be expected. Had to reset the seatbelt light sensor, I’m assuming something shook loose when off-roading but it was free at the dealer (after some heated discussion). Love the truck, good video, hope my info can help other owners.
Thanks for the input...good to know a few more things that can potentially break down. Its so common especially how much I've taken her out. Honestly I wouldn't trade her for anything else.
I own a 2020 TRD off road with 116K miles and there’s no complaints. 👍🏽
Nice! That's alot of a 2020
@@Michael_Tran, that’s what the truck is for, traveling to the beach, mountains or desert 🏜️ or anything in between. Creating memories

We love ours. 2020 TRD Off Road 6 speed manual. Just rolled 10k miles on our trip home from Big Bend National Park in Texas.
Nice! You have plenty of mileage before it's break in...haha
Did your valve covers start leaking, did you change your serpentine belt, spark plugs,
no leaking on valve cover, near changed my serpentine belt but did replace spark plugs around 90,000
I have a Tacoma TRD Offroad pre runner SR5 with nearly 200K miles with no issues. But i don't modify anything from factory besides larger tires on factory rims. I do know people who do modifications and live to regret it. Another thing is I don't have a backup camera but know those who do. And when they lift the truck beyond factory specs, they seem to have a problem with backup camera. Toyota has done a good job building the Tacoma but it's not to be messed with in my opinion. My truck doesn't give me a lick of problem, but I don't modify it from factory specs.
Tks for sharing 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks for sharing. Good to hear at 100K it was only minor items.
No problem
Good update!
Must be the same battery in my 2015 TRD, lasted about 4 years and died. 86K miles now and that's been the only thing👍👌
Yea...maybe. Hopefully nothing major
We get screwed in Canada for the 2023 . The Only choices we get for manual is TRD Off Road Standard package but Access cab, TRD Sport Premium and the TRD Pro. And only the choices for Bird eye and LED lights is Pro and LTD edition.
Oh man...for real? That seems not right
Nice, thorough review! Sitting at around 2k miles right now-no problems yet! If you were to get a TRD, get the Off Road for the rear locker.
We’re really going to miss this 2wd Tacoma-it’s given us so much inspiration. There are more fellow 2wd Tacoma’s out there than you might think, just hiding in the shadows. It’ll be sad to see her go.
Thanks bro. 2k, it's till tons of adventure left haha. I might keep the 2wd for the content lol. But thanks for the feedback, ill definitely still debating on the purchase.

They definitely look really awesome...can't wait for the 4th gen to come out.
My ‘95 Honda did that door hinge noise too. It had to be with the door pin getting worn down. I just put a bolt through and tightened it down. It fixed it
Really? Good to know, thanks bro ill check into it.
TRD OFF ROAD 4x4 👌
Definitely the most capable.
Thanks brother I appreciate
2021 Tacaoma SR battery started leaking at 15k miles. Leaked acid all over the fender and somehow acid also got on the hood. Toyota repalced the battery under warranty and had to have the truck repainted under the hood. Total cost $2300 covered under warranty thankfully
Wow...that's brand new. Glad Toyota took care of that issue.

TRD off road 100%. Way more functional than the sport IMO. I bought a long bed OF. No regrets
I just traded my 04 Tacoma on a double cab long bed off road and I love it.
What are the differences. Just curious. I was looking at some of these and I figured I probably wouldn’t go off-roading too often so thought sport would be better but would love to hear some feedback from people who own the already.
@@spencerdrozdowski7561 I would've purchased either one ,for me I like the black wheel flares on the off road vs. the painted ones on the sport. The off road has a locking rear diff and the sport doesn't but I'm sure its still quite a capable rig.
Great video! What has broke on the Tacoma? Wear and tear parts 🤣! Oem batteries are terrible in most vehicles. I moved my old Optima yellow top from my Subaru into the Honda and it’s still going strong. There was
One video where I spent a whole night trying to kill it by leaving the car on, didn’t happen. A portable jump starter is a good thing to have, I carry two and keep them stowed away from electronically open doors like my tail gate. Car dies and I can’t get back there
Yea, most of these are things that wouldn't bother me. Honestly, Toyota are so reliable that ill be awhile til some mechanical issue will come up. But hopefully it doesn't happen soon haha
2019 sr5 dclb 78k 2wd. Truck has Trd pro shocks and wheels with 265/75/16 Goodyear. Skid plate. Change rear diff and transmission oil at 60k. I haul about 1200 pounds daily. Battery is original. Running HID headlights and BD fogs. And last I had to replace the plastic bushing for $10 on the tailgate. Good idea to buy one ahead because it’s a pain to open the tail gate without the damping.
Wow...nice. I gotta change my transmission oil soon. It's the only thing I haven't really done
I just got my 2022 TRD 4X4 off-road 6-speed manual mine is the totally basic truck along with being manual transmission no technology package no backup sensors no blind spot monitoring no sunroof no heated seats... But that's 🆒 with me tho, less shit 2 break later on i guess
BTW enjoyed your video! Watched the whole thing👍👍💯
Nice man. I honestly do like the older truck with less technology. I hate stuff breaking down but gotta admit a few of these feature are nice to have.
Get the TRD Off Road, I have a 2019 long bed, love it. Trade the fake hood scoop for funcional tools like the Crawl Control and Multiterrain Select, and the locking differential. They’re priced the same, TRD Sport is just “looks” and the fender flares are body painted which suck when you wheel because pinstripes will not disappear.
That's a good point. Ill have to see the 2 prices and go from there. Thanks for the feedback
For sure get the off road model . That rear locker makes a huge difference .
Seems like it's the selling point for sure. Definitely in my radar
It also has a stronger rear end than the sport.
@@blakeberlin6295 Good to know. Thanks

"just" a 2WD. Love your videos & your truck! Thank you Michael!
Thanks for the positive feedback and encouragement bro. Yea, 4x4 sounds nice but 2wd have gotten us to some cool places for sure. I might keep the truck for the content haha
I have a 2016 SR5 V6 4x4. Got it use with 72000 miles. I had the 3rd break lite leak and I just had timing chain cover resealed, it was leaking oil. Both were covered under the certified pre-owned warranty. I got lucky on those. Given those 2 problems I love my truck. I know it will get to over 200k
Wow...glad the warranty covered it. Would've been an expensive fix. Yea, I don't doubt that if I keep this Tacoma, I can easily go 200k. They are so reliable.
I had a 2003 Tacoma extended cab 171,000 sold it to a friend for his sons use after graduating high school
I have a 2020 now
2019 Taco sport. 130,000 mi. Still have the OEM battery. 9/2018 written on the side. Fingers crossed. Good looking truck by the way.
Good information. The battery is 24F (super common) good for four years. I have a TOPDON ($50) battery tester and start checking after they are two years old. I just got a 2021 DCLB (Double Cab Long Bed) Off-Road. I like having the 6' bed, comes in handy. The 2021 "car play" is still the sucky etune. No Google maps, nor Waze, Scout GPS is the only option (it sucks). 2022 will be a new design, hopefully with true Android Car Play. For me Off-Road as I wanted the locker (95% of my off-road is easily done in 2WD, 4.9% in 4WD; so 0.1% I can use a locker.) I'll add rock sliders, mainly as insurance to prevent a crushed rocker and a door not functioning The biggest downside is our 950-pound payload gets reduced.
My FJ60 was deadstock, still running at 400,000 miles (maintenance, don't overlook brake fluid and power steering every five years. The fuel tank was replaced under Toyota Warranty but clutch (250,000 miles), water pump, and alternator/starter brushes, and wear items.
The only other tip, there are a ton of knock-off "OEM" parts being sold on Amazon and eBay. As much I hate the dealership, I do buy items from them to ensure they are OEM and not "made in china, but marked "all original Japan". Huge problem. Too old to make videos anymore, so keep up the good work and keep 'em coming.
Man, some good infos Tom. Thanks for the support, us youngster can learn a lot from you guys. I hope to have this truck for a long time so thanks for the tips. I agree the long bed comes in handy.
I bought a new 2020 TRDPRO last year. I would do it again. I installed an aftermarket DS A pillar grab handle, Diamondback bed cover and a few other minor goodies. All the major things like tires, suspension etc. I have no desire to modify.
Yea, the TRD Pro is a buy and drive kinda truck. It's everything an off roader needs and more.
Nice vid and glad you haven’t suffer like me. I have a 2017 Tacoma Off-road. So far I have paint peeling issues and Tacoma has done nothing. Also my timing chain cover is leaking at 74k miles. I feel I got a lemon. Shame on Toyota
Man..that sucks. Sorry to hear that...seems definitely likely a lemon. I've always had good things with Tacoma...currently my 2021 is my 4th Toyota truck with no major issue
So nothing has ever broken down... lol 😂 I love it just bought one
Basically...lol
85k and no issues aside from the battery at ~80k (I did leave it sitting for 3 weeks though). Fingers crossed it stays bulletpoof!

How are you getting 351 miles on a tank of gas? Mine is 288 every time
O4 Tacoma SR5 150,000 miles. Just put on my 2nd water pump. First one was (leaking) but did not fail @ 70,000 miles. Dealer wanted $750. My local garage did it with a NAPA pump for $285. Just back in @ 146,000 for oil change and water pump leaking again. Replaced with another NAPA pump. I use the truck to tow my camper out of town which accounts for most of the miles. Next time they tell me it's leaking I think I will drive it until it fails and see how many miles it will go while carrying a pare pump.
