- The Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Ford Ranger attacked it. The Nissan Frontier and Honda Ridgeline jumped on it too. The Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz nibbled at the edges. And yet, the Toyota Tacoma is still the king of the mountain. Sheldon Brown, Chief Engineer, takes us through the all-new Tacoma.

As long as it’s more comfortable than the old Taco. The previous generation should have included complementary chiropractic.
Thank you, John remember kindness is always free the Highlander.

This Toyota Salesman looks like what the giant SUV andbig pickups are made for, besides looking like a heart attac waiting to happen

CC (closed captioning) is off (wrongly interpreted) ... he said “…Akio (Toyoda) showed a truck… that, I don’t know… LOOKED TACOMA TO ME…”
When asked if Taco was designed with EV in mind.
Loved this. I have a Frontier, but son has a Taco. Goldilocks-sized, perfectly in the middle, imo. I just do NOT like the new set; though I mostly consume podcasts via audio as I carve out twists in my C8 Corvette pre-dawn across USAmerican back-roads. (guitar chord strum,... F yeah!)
Quite a Tacoma infomercial. Wonder if Toyota paid for this.
Screens for functions. Lost me. I bought 4 new pickups in the 1990s. Last one was 1997 and sold in 2006. Prices had gone up to much and even more since then so I have not bought another.
My guess is you are still using a Nokia Flip phone or would that be a Motorola brick CP, Yes, I'm sure those have no screens.
Considering that Ford has had the hybrid Maverick years a head of the competition, decades after the Ford Escape hybrid is woeful
@44:00, I couldn't agree more--the people want a PHEV Taco!
No talk about the engine which did not pass some regulations recently!! Why not.
all marketing speak.... but i guess thats what people are interested in
my thoughts too. It was word salad.
no rear leg room, huge miss
"If you want actual room in back get a Tundra" - Toyota
I miss the old, small, Tacoma. This is almost a full size, Ford F 150 size, that's 2 inches smaller. No where near, what it used to be......
But the profits are waaaaaaaay better for them
I am betting you'll see a smaller truck very very soon.
Ford should bring the Plug-In Ranger to the U.S. (available in AU & EU) or make an all-electric Maverick quickly.
Sure, and only lose 20k per unit
Governments have caused this conundrum. These overly complicated hybrids really are not necessary. How about very efficient petrol and diesels until they get the Hydrogen ICE engine sorted?
this and almost all other conundrums.
New gen Tacoma & Tundra are the same truck built on the same line.
not really
A Ram 1500 is far superior in every meaningful way other than reliability.
Ok I’m confused.. Manuel transmissions may be regulated out because of emissions? My experience is that manuel transmissions get bett fuel economy. Wouldn’t that produce less emissions using less fuel?
There are more emissions than just water and carbon dioxide.
It was the case back in the day. My 82 SR5 alternative (5 spd stick only on SR5) was 3 spd auto or 4 spd manual. My 2000 Tacoma 5 spd alternative was a 4 spd auto. Nowadays, the auto comes with 6, 7, or more ranges with a locking torque converter so they get better EPA as well.
@@besselfunctions ok since you know there are more emissions than H2O and CO2. I will tell you that the emission systems on units today do not work as designed. The best way to reduce emissions is to lower the amount of fuel burned. Say what you want. The 2.5 poisons are not affected by the emission systems in use today. You want less pollution stop using hydrocarbons..
@@foxtrotwolf6081 ok so you have a locking torque converter in drive or overdrive. What about the slip in all the lower gears when driving around town or under hard acceleration up to highway speed. That slip can be anywhere from 3 to 12%. So a manual transmission is more efficient cheaper to build and maintain. The only real problem is the clutch dust which is no worse than brake dust.
@williambasinger5859 Probably, but our government only sees the EPA figures and the EPA gives better numbers or more accurately, manufacturers "tune" the trans and everything else to make better EPA numbers but they can't tune manuals.
Things 2024 Toyota Tacoma lacks? 48 volt architecture, bulletproof, 100+mpg, 0-60 under 4 seconds, drives itself, OTA. Seems like a lot.
Your just a crazy Tesla fanboy!You can go under with the sinking ship Tesla!
Drives itself?Sure Teslaboy sure hahaha
The Cybertruck is the final nail in the coffin of Tesla!
@@brunoheggli2888 ... What? .. Did BYD China develope a truck? .. A real pickup?
There is a 4cyl Hybrid 4x4 option .. @ 39:40
Toyota Canada product choice and offerings with the Tacoma is dismal at best, very few model choices and accessories, I think the over complication of production / part percurrent from the suppliers limits production schedules and model choices for all markets, making Canada a second fiddle player, was thinking of a Tacoma SR Base platform, but it's not available in Canada, so my next truck will not be a Toyota.
Great discussion 👏👏
A salesman talking like a machine gun….and mumbling sales jargon. Painful.
+1. .. Agreed. .. Yet, with a wee bit of polish, just a bit. .. Its todays coporate media spoke's person. ..

exercise your noggin' and pick out the in between stuff. I did. :)
How is Toyota the only car maker in the world facing battery rationing? I think Ford alone has already sold more battery cells then Toyota claims is possible for the next hundred years
🎯
Another gas hog. The Ford ranger does better.
Wait, aren't Toyota vehicle engineered in Japan? I'm not trying to stereotype but this guy looks like a GM engineer, not Toyota. I want that quality Japanese engineering Toyota is famous for.
Almost everything Toyota, Nissan and Honda sells in the U.S. is designed and built in the U.S. for the U.S. market.
Yup, no Tacomas outside North America. The rest of the world gets the Hilux, which is the generation before the 95 Tacoma, but updated to the region's needs, for example, anti aircraft gun in bed for the Middle East.
As a matter of fact… Toyota Technical Center (R&D) is in Ann Arbor, MI and Nissan Technical Center is in Farmington Hills, MI…
@@jmbickham But the real guts, the chassis, engines and transmissions are born in the Japan.
@@rkgsd negative. Platforms are developed in both countries, some U.S. specific ones may only exist in the U.S. (e.g. full size trucks, Tacoma…). I worked at the Nissan Tech Center. They are huge facilities with everything from chassis, to powertrain and interior engineers as well as a design studio and environmental testing facilities.
Nvr heard of it
More of the same. Little innovation thus ready for loosing a lot when EV trucks enter. Just stuck in the past
Just get a Hilux instead!
GM Colorado/Canyon better trucks
Toyota quality a myth
It's dead now
THIS IS BEYOND BORING, WILL NOT WATCH THIS ONE.
No mention of the Cybertruck. No mention of an electric drivetrain. Toyota is doomed.
Cybertruck is for posers, not real truck buyers.
