Nice job on the falling bail scene with the slow mo and the timely music cut in.
Never underestimate the power of a Tacoma
Lol, or the lack there of. Those 4 cylinders need a whipping to do anything!
Just don’t pull a snowmobile trailer with two sleds on it very much cause the transmission won’t take it. After having transmission replaced twice was told by dealer it’s to much weight for the pickup
while I like the Tacos I love my 2016 Chevy Colorado with the 2.8 diesel. It's a beast and it sips fuel
Hilux are the Tacos in Latinamérica and Hilux and Land Cruiser pick ups and some Ocasional Russian UAZ Jeeps are the work Horse in the country side, Farms and Jungles.. ppl put them to the test on Harsh Terrain and road Conditions as well... Well I forgot they all come in Diesel and manual Transmission too...
Too late
I don't think I'd ever buy a vehicle previously owned by TFL.
Especially the new defenders I mean the dealer programs them to break down.
I did and its fine...... sorta haha
At least you know most of what they've put it through 🤣
Why?
I used to have the same Tacoma and load one and a half yards of stone in the back not recommended but it definitely did the job can’t say enough good things about Toyota trucks unbreakable
Unbreakable lol. Thats why they recalled their frames cause
@ronald filkins 😂😂😂hate it or love it... a Toyota is the best out in the auto market till this day.
Frames snap in half
@@elvism684 mostly if you let the salt get to it and if your stopid enough to buy one with rust.
@@elvism684 there was a factory recall on the frames. Toyota stand behinds their product.
That little Tacoma will do more than you think. It would put more power to the wheels if it had a manual transmissions. Next thing auto locker in the rear axel ! As for the F150, put the lowest axel gears in it you can then Lincoln lock it !!!!
Dude after driving 150,000 miles on 2 sets of those Michelin's I'll tell ya they are WAY better than they look. They're quiet smooth fuel efficient and VERY decent in the winter.
Furthermore....I'll have to say that even though I'm looking for a larger tire for my 2020 Tundra TRD PRO that the stock Michelin LTX at2's did very well in the snow storm in ohio last week. It almost felt like I was on dry ground so I didn't even need 4 wheel drive. I put my truck back in 2 wheel and had no problems at all. I hate to get new tires just for the look of it so may try to let these wear out some but I wish Toyota would have put at least a 33 inch tire on these PRO's from factory.
I have put many, MANY, miles on Michelin LTX AT's and they are terrific in every way! They may not have the looks you like, but I *never* got stuck with them in nearly 200,000 miles. That includes 18" snowstorms with 3' drifts.
@@waltergoggle5597 that's awesome and it makes me feel confident with mine. What type of vehicles did you have them on? People tell me they are not near as good as duratracs but man I was really surprised and happy at how well they gripped in this last snowstorm while driving in about 4 to 6inches of snow. What size were yours...maybe I'll just get them 1 inch taller and forget the duratracs. I have 4 more of them with only 6k on them but they are only 32inches tall also 275/65/18
michelin doesn't make a bad car tire
Just like the Tacoma don’t underestimate a Michelin tire there’s a reason why both are expensive.
David's homemade receiver on the front end of the F150 did a great job and it wasn't even painted red!
Painting it red would have added even more strength.
Actually around here the hardest working pickups I see are the smaller ones. F-150s and dodge rams etc.. all seem to be big fancy commuters. The s-10 and ranger and taco guys are usually hauling pool equipment or landscaping gear etc..
In saudi Arabia these baby trucks are to us like getting a nissan s13 or a miata but also offroad capable, its an instant recommendation for a kid who wants manual rwd with decent mpg and good fun both on and offroad.
The hilux still comes in short bed configuration and 2.7 i4 engine here,and the nissan d22 was only discontinued here in 2016, that's how popular they are.
They are also big players in the tuner scene here where we chase offroad capabilities more than ¼mile speed or low lap times.
I love my 1996 Tacoma, that 2.7l engine holds its own. Never had any issues with mine and 4x4 will get you out of everything!!! Would love to have another little Tacoma
Cuantos L por 100 consume en ciudad tu tacoma 2.7?
4:55 The yak in the back said get this on camera 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That yak's name is "Papa Squat."
TFL's mission statement: "No yak left hungry"!
The biggest advantage of the Tacoma over other trucks is the easy shift into LO range. Effortless low-speed pulling is what the truck is all about.
No surprise with Baby Yota. You haven't even touched it's capability yet. Curious to see where you take this project. I LOVE Yak ranch videos! Happy New Year, TFLclassics!
Tacoma’s are so great. My favorite childhood memory of the our ‘98 Taco is when our neighbors suburban diesel broke down in front of our house and my dad towed him home. We lived on a dirt road and ours is the 2.4 2WD “low boy” model, but it didn’t even break a sweat, not even up a steep (albeit brief) grade. Wonderful trucks.
Luke better not come storming in again and take this Baby Yoda, because I want it!!!
I wonder if someone named Luke will win the bid...? ;)
I love my 2000 Taco. I'm going to drive it until it dies. 137k on it now. It's small and nimble, and really pisses off the guys with jacked up F150's that can't go where I can. They may be slow, but VERY reliable.
My aunt and uncle lived on a cattle ranch down in Oklahoma. Back in the day they did most of their daily chores with an early 80's Nissan 2WD pickup and another 80's Toyota flat bed 2WD dually. They used them for years.
These little Toyota's Nissan and isuzu pickups are the true workhorses around the world...
Whilst an f450 with 1100 lbs of torque is carrying a gallon of milk and toilet paper in the back seat of the mega cab LMAO!
Man I want that Toyota Tacoma now 🥺🥺 looks hella fun to drive
Catch the yak pooping at 4:54 🤣🤣🤣
Hanging out on a farm is always a good time. Keep up the farm vids with David imho
I kinda wish they’d try loading the bail on the Yoda, just for fun to see how far it can go.
Makes me proud to be an owner of a 2003 Toyota Tacoma prerunner 2WD!
Merry Christmas everyone. And how blessed you are to live in this beautiful landscaoe. Greetings from Germany
Great little truck. Put 37s on it. Get a Marlin Crawler TacoBox for it . What the heck....go all the way and stack a third Marlin in there.
The baby yota is a beast!
Not a big Toyota fan, I do respect all builds. But this Tacoma just looks sexy. Like I want one now.
The way David welded that on the frame and thru the bumper that tow point is better than most you will run in to. The bumper would have held up to that little bit of pull, the ford is rolling the yota just needs to keep it moving it will not take as much as you think it does. Looked like fun though dumping the bale off to roll away. Always good videos at the Yak Ranch, stay safe and healthy all.
Of course it will, my grandpa bought an 88 toyota pickup, only had a 4cyl and he used it on the farm until a few years ago, he still drives it. I never understood the jokes about toyota being toys, they are resilient little monsters
4:53 the yak in the back taking a crap 😂
Nuthin' a Yota can't do!
Now get buildin'!
the rear springs is what carries the weight not the size of the truck..
Yes but the yota is not rated for that still and the bed looks to small
@@trentniemetz5831
wtf yea ok
it could take the weight but there was no room in the bed
8:08 bruh i cant stop laufhing at that “wooo” lmao
Here in South Africa those Toyota trucks were rated at 1 ton (2200lb). I don't understand why everything which is available in both market has such different ratings. 1500 lb is nothing. On the family farm they are often loaded to double that.
Different nations have different safety standards that need to be met ( braking distance, suspension not bottoming out, etc)
@@8__D I assumed that was the case, but in reality 1 ton was just fine. No braking problems and the suspension only bottomed out if you didn't slow down on bad dirt roads.
Not that bottoming out was a problem - nothing ever broke, they weren't driven with any sympathy and did around 600 000m. They died of rust, not wear.
@@gregculverwell ya I agree, American truck ratings are defiantly way underrated for guaranteed safety. I’ve load my 2000 Silverado with 2700 lbs when it’s payload is 1700 lbs and towed 12,000 lbs when it’s rated for 7,000 lbs. The trucks can certainly handle this without catastrophic failures, but if you take an overloaded truck onto roads with a lot of traffic you’ll certainly notice how much your stopping distance increases and overall handling diminishes, so you must adjust your driving accordingly to stay somewhat safe.
@@8__D pumping the rear tyres up, within the limit of rated pressure brings the handling up to near normal
Perfect drop David!!!...that was pretty cool watching that...bale drops n music starts😁😀Nice!!!...like Hollywood
I worked on a cattle farm for years and all we used for farm work was a 1993 toyota pickup it hauled round bales,logs,fence posts,pulled trailers ect. And it always got the job done
I have the same Michelin LTX2 tires on my 2000 Toyota TRD Tacoma. No issues on rocky roads, 2 foot deep snow, ice, water fording, not so deep mud, etc.
In deep Mud, with the underpowered 3.4, it wouldn't matter what tire you had. You still get stuck.
I've had swampers on it, and they were noisy on the road, and wobbled the truck like crazy. Two different shops couldn't get them balanced correctly even with a ton of weights. Traded to BFG Mud T/A, better, but still some balance / wobble issues. Switched to the LTX's, and all those problems went away. Considering they look like a street tire, they do amazingly well. Anything the truck itself is capable of, they're good for.
Ref that topic I'll paste my comment from above
.I'll have to say that even though I'm looking for a larger tire for my 2020 Tundra TRD PRO that the stock Michelin LTX at2's did very well in the snow storm in ohio last week. It almost felt like I was on dry ground so I didn't even need 4 wheel drive. I put my truck back in 2 wheel and had no problems at all. I hate to get new tires just for the look of it so may try to let these wear out some but I wish Toyota would have put at least a 33 inch tire on these PRO's from factory.
Those LTX AT2s are better off road than you’d think. I’ve had a pair, very good tire, on and off-road.

David is a genius
4:55 yak taking a poop
I think it’s time for Kase and Tommy to get there own dedicated camera guy so they can stay on cam rather then taking turns filming both these guys are really good on cam.
They put some effort into it and it shows. Roman has been really lazy lately.
As always, great fun and entertaining , as we've come to expect there at David's Yak Ranch!
That's our Tommy -
always yakking & quacking...!
(Ho ho ho, etc.)
Gotta love the bobcat! North Dakota pride
Ive had 1500lbs in the bed of a 1st gen tacoma. It hauled that concrete, but i replaced the leaf springs shortly afterwards. First gen taco is obviously no superduty, but i love them.
You guys are awesome 👌. I own a Toyota truck. You make me proud of my baby.
I was already in love with Baby Yota and this film just confirms that.
Seeing that old Tacoma pulling that heavy load up that steep hill , I kept thinking about the little train engine story. Loved seeing how that roll of hay rolled off the bed . Very good camera work and went well with the music. Very entertaining video.
Had a bronco 2 with the michilin ltx. Had no problem with winter weather in iowa.

Appreciate you guys helping the Mountain States Childrens Home . A great organization . Did a couple of motorcycle runs up there years ago .
These guys deserve way more subscribers than they have
It’s always funny that people are surprised that these 20+ year old Toyota’s drive as smoothly and as well as they do. I’m not surprised. I own one, and the damn thing will be driving in another ten years, better than any jeep Ford Chevy or dodge
my buddy has that exact same truck he will probably die with that truck he love it so much
I have the same one aswell. Couldn’t have gotten a better first truck
Payload max with the 2.7, at least with the prerunner model is about 1,900 pounds, 4wd might be a bit less.
Tacoma are so versatile. I've seen many farmers in Texas using them on their farms. Most don't even bother lifting them they just swap out shocks and suspension and work them like a farm mule
Oh what a feeling, Toyota!
I love my 4 cylinder Tocoma it's a 2007 with a manual with a cheap set of mud tires and it's perfect. I already plan on by a new frame so in this one rots out
guy across the road had a hay spike on the back of his little Toyota hauling 1000lb bales his front end would come up going up the drive way. that truck still running strong. I have welded the frame removed the rust remade shock mounts and replaced stuff on the motor and fixed the ball joint because it fell out going down in the field.
Those little Toyotas are pretty cool tbh
Just proof that most of us don't actually need 350+ horsepower V8 pickups to get stuff done. A 4 banger or torquier 6 with low range gearing is enough for 99% of us.
My Mom has a Toyota Tacoma same tan from 2015 the one with the back seat for passengers and that thing is a nice compromise in the way its gas milage is for a pickup, the amount it can haul and the fact it can get passengers in the back. Its flaws are if you are over 5 foot 5 inch the person has to look odd out the windshield, the fact it can't haul what most eras of F--150 or Chevy Silverado/GMC 1500 can, the odd need for the step on and duck to get in due to how tall the suspension is on the newer Tacoma's are after the first few years of production.
These little Toyota trucks are awesome! If I needed a smaller truck, I'm buying one. You can always tear it down and rebuild a Toyota without having to really change the way it looks
Love these videos.
Kase and Tommy do a great job.
Tommy why are you wearing a seatbelt to idle across a field. Lol
I am more concerned why he was not wearing the seat belt before he entered the truck!
I love this channel!
My Toyota Pickup spent a few years of duty taking haybales out to the cow pasture. When I bought it all four of the leafs were bent flat or almost backwards from the weight.
My neighbor had a 80s Toyota pickup with a bale stabber mounted on the back. Put out hay for his cows for years with that truck.
Colorado must be interesting. In one video its winter with heavy snow, the other video they are not even wearing a jacket.
That is literally every week from October to April in Colorado. Shorts in January? Yep! Parka in May? Sure nuff!
Great! I’d like to see you guys use a less aggressive AT tire for once to test it out lol and spin
I used to haul water in desert with a 2000 Nissan Frontier “desert runner”. I would put a 275 Gal. Water tote in the bed and fill it up! The poor little thing would squat like a lowrider but it still flew across the desert trip after trip.
Heeell yeee parrr! That was some damn good spreadin there yeeeyeee. Bale out! Layed down some yak snack
You could easily put a round bale on any European truck. Although they're small their towing and payload capacities are on another level. However that little Toyota/ reasonably sized truck in Europe did pretty well.
People seem to forget small Toyota trucks are used on almost every corner of the world for much harsher work than Ranch work.
I’d give those Michelin’s a chance, I’ve been really happy with mine and would have put them on my LJ Rubicon if they made a 35”.
Yep see my comment above on that....well here I'll paste it.

4 low on a 4 banger Toyota is the best. The 4 cylinder doesn't have a bunch of oomph to easily spin the tires so it just grips with that gearing. Experienced it alot.
You can load way more then rated.
I had 3800lbs in a 5.5ft box F150.
Full Pallet of 25 - 24x30 patio blocks and 20 - 50lbs bags of gravel.
I really didn't think of the weight until they dropped the pallet on the truck and I was kind of committed at this point. Other then the blocks shifting a bit on the pallet it drove perfectly fine (on e-rated tires)
Cool music at 8:40! Sounds like Brand New Immortals!
Thanks, I have loved Toyota pickups for a long time - since test driving mid-80s. Just always fell for full-size Chevy or Ford.
Enjoying the series. 1500# may not be far off what that 1st gens rated payload how it's equipped. It would be rated for a lot more than my 3rd gen. May have tried the bale in the bed if it fits but no rolling off then.
It’s not rated for a lot more
Love the open mindedness of the test driver
Grandpa bought a T100 when it came out. He was mostly boss at this point, so didn't do much heavy lifting no-one gave him any nonsense about his decisions.
I ran 2sets of those tires on my diesel pickup they were excellent in the snow I had a snow plow on it too
good video
♬To be a roll and not to roll♬ is against a roll's nature... ;)
Umm... I haul round bales in my 08/2.7l all the time, and 1,500lbs for a hay bale is about a 600-1000lbs over exaggeration. I love y’all’s content, but I know from experience that truck could handle that no problem.
Don’t mind me. Just watching some videos and getting hyped to buy a new Tacoma this winter.
4:55 horn works, brownies on that
Street tyres are fine in dry and rocky conditions.
The Yota load rating is 1400+ pounds. Should have tried it. Good tie downs would hold that round bail on.
Glad to see 6-shooter back in a video
i would like to see a video on welding the diff on the old 6 shooter, I think that would make it a lot more useful around the farm
Never thought of the day i would see a toy truck pulling a full size ford
Used my Tacoma to pull my father in law's F-350 back onto a drive way sideways after he went off plowing snow.
The slow motion was sweet!
I love the video and that country song
Super swampers ssr..... thats what I have on mine .....perfect option for a toy
A little Tacoma will outwork any truck made in its lifetime for half the price and half the fuel and definitely less then half the maintenance of anything else.
I hope to see a video of that crew cab square body GMC back there
Roll a bale of hay to a place it belongs, seems oddly symbolic
Yakety yak don't talk back lol 😂
I wish y’all put a trailer on the Toyota and then put the bell on the trailer.
The payload capacity on a 1st gen Tacoma is 1625 lbs so I think you would have been fine putting a 1500 pound bail of hay in it.
