You guys should keep that truck till 100k miles to actually see if it’s reliable
Well it will be, well over 200k... duh
True Toyota reliability is proven at 300,000. 500,000 is a benchmark as many Tacomas are at that milepoint.
100k is not a test of reliability lol my bmw was trouble free past 115k before I got rid of it
Trouble is that it will be an older, well used truck by then, and most people's interest will have long moved on to newer trucks with new er features. Plus as pointed out in this thread, opinions differ on what constitutes 'reliable'. Also, realistically it is impossible for TFL to prove the reliability of the new Tacoma with this single truck. If they kept it for many years and put several hundred thousand miles on it, without any further issues, it would still only prove the reliability of that specific example. Meanwhile there would be a ton of data widely available about this models reliability by then.
So to sum up, it would be terrible for their business, most people wouldn't be satisfied anyway, it wouldn't really prove anything, and the information you want would be widely available from other sources by the time they could do this. .
Oh it will go 100k But not 200K before a turbo goes
The dealer only fixed it under warranty because you are TFL if that was the average person we would of had to pay for it out of our pockets they would have said it was abuse for taking it off road I want to see an actual long term review on these trucks
Doubtful. I'm not saying they don't get "special attention" but to deny a claim they'd have to have some decent evidence of abuse (i.e. siezed engine with a smashed oil pan... probably abused). For a hub to fail with no other damage, it would just get classified as a manufacturer defect imo. We'll see though.
Toyota assigned 20 engineers to the issue. Hopefully if my 4Runner breaks I will get the same customer service.
My 24 was just in for three weeks the day after I bought it for a minor part that wasn’t available. I mentioned to my “Toyota advocate” that if I was TFL they would have the part by now. In the end the dealership took the part off another truck for sale so I could get back on the road. Love the truck but come on Toyota…have parts available if you’re gonna offer a product for sale.
@@JohnDoe-wy2py Good luck.
@@thepdc6220Too busy stuffing the parts into new ones in Mexico assembly line to have extra for American buyers. Sales volume is king, not the customer.
It needs mentioned that Toyota ended the v8 full size land cruiser in the NA market because there was no appetite for a 75k 4x4 SUV, and this is exactly what they just produced a FLEET of for the new generations. 65k tacomas, 75k tundras, and 80 land cruisers. This was what everyone said wasnt palatable. Now TFL and the rest are saying this is just the market , and the market offerings. How does this not make everyones head spin?
They’ll learn when they can’t sell as many as they thought they’d be able to
@@TheSkinnyMechanic lots are already overflowing with tundras and tacomas.
Guess what Toyota sold more vehicles in the first quarter in the USA then any other manufacture...
@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies duh
They make a lot of cars and this country is full of fools
@@NorthweSteelheadJunkies hybrids, vans, and Camrys sure.
First they damaged it, now they want to sell it 😂
My 2007 had been in the dealer the same # of times as your 2024 and that was for a recall
I owned a 2018 TRd Tacoma, I recently hopped in a 24 Tacoma. My first reaction was the same as the New Tundra. “Why does this truck look larger, but feel smaller inside ?” I also rented a Lexus SUV with the same 2.4 Turbo engine, and it was great until we got in the mountains in Colorado…. It was just me and my girlfriend and that little truck was screaming for its life up those inclines 🤣
Ahh yes a Toyota tacoma with a fancy camper shell in its natural habitat. A parking lot.
Oh that comment again. It’s been done to death man.
Don't forget your recovery boards and spare gas cans
I mean it is a North American truck designed for 1st world use. Go take a look at Venezuela, Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, etc and see Toyotas in harsh environments.
I rented one this week and drove it about 700 miles. Everything about this truck, with the exception of the safety nannies, feels like an improvement over the outgoing models. Reliability will be the final factor and for that we have to wait a few years. If toyota left all the electronic crap off i would buy one this year. Because of all the technology i will wait 3 or 4 years to see how it holds up.
You act like those engines and electrical haven’t been around in Lexus models for years….
Every electronic in this car was available on a Lexus 2012 and they are still working fine.
@@cormaro1376these turbo 4 banger engines are new on their trucks. most guys use their trucks as workhorses, so it’ll be interesting to see how well these 4 bangers hold up after extreme usage
@@JokerG16 correct, they are mall crawling with a lexus.
Yes and the new Tundra having turbo issues after 3k-5k miles is a legit reason why people are concerned. Hopefully these won’t have those issues, but as OP said, time will tell.
Seems like a decent truck overall. The main issue for many is the price. Most dealers around me are listing at 56K+ for TRD Off-road or Sport. I know prices have gone up but for someone like myself who paid 36K in 2019 for my brand new at the time 4x4 TRD off-road with all the tech goodies (plus included add-ons like rockslider, and hard tonneau cover) it's tough to justify purchasing the new 2024.
A $20k price increase in 5yrs is insane.
The new Tacoma is being built in Mexico. Apparently Toyota decided to not pass those cost savings on to the consumer
Price is good it is worth EVERY penny and then some
Are you comparing a fully loaded 2019 with every option to this model? There is no way they are 55k+ unless they are maxed to the gills and/or tons of dealer options.
I bought my mid level optioned one for 49k. I saw the other day my dealer with a base off road for 43
@@AaronPace93 I'm not comparing this exact truck in the video. I'm comparing a similar trim 2024 to my 2019.
$8000 for a bed topper and glorified tent is a rip-off....
plus its god awful ugly.
That topper and those side bars are just ugly
You clearly don’t know the wedge camper market. Many are 14k, the GFC is a deal.
Man, I've never paid that for a whole truck!
Huge shoutout to kase for stepping up. Your the goat. And a outstanding presenter. Keep it going.
It’s easy for automotive TH-camrs to sing the praises of the 4 cylinder turbo in the new Tacoma as they will never own them long term and have to deal with the issues that might arise.
That why reviewers like the “high mileage ram guy” at Truck Central are so good. They review what they own and use year after year.
and neither should you! 🤣😂 kidding!
Exactly lol plus they're paid shills.
It’s 2024. The majority of people don’t keep their cars for 20 years anymore.
And because they want continued access to Toyota press fleets.
I STILL havent seen a single one of these on the road here. They are sitting on the lots collecting pollen and sucking air
I have not seen one either. Seeing the Frontier though...saw Frontier at the dealer too. Nice but can't afford new. Left in my old Hardbody.
same only seen em on the lot . havent even seen the new colorado or maveric on the road aint nobody buying shit
@@mgw5377 Starting to see Frontiers in my area. Probably a dozen at the dealer too. Tree companies and parts stores are buying for fleets too. Probably see it as the best option for maintenance with no turbo.
It looks good with a bit of lift and blocky tires.
I should go look at the Frontier again, then go next door to Toyota and see how many Mexican Tacos are there and what the "value pricing" is.
i've seen about 3 thus far in the suburbs of MD... ironically all in Target parking lots lol
I still haven't seen a modern Colorado or Ranger on the road anywhere either.. Pathetic.
Not a fan of an "Off Road" edition truck that breaks so easily off road.... I purposely helped my mother get a new 2023 Tacoma because we didnt want the 2024. Very glad we got a 2023
I like the Frontier better, and that's coming from a guy who loves Toyota
Yep, me too. Never thought Id say that.
I switched from a Toyota to a Frontier a year and a half ago and have had no issues. It’s a great truck.
I have decided on buying a Frontier as opposed to the Tacoma. I think the current Frontier will be more dependable than the new Tacoma. The Frontier has all the technology I need, I don’t go off roading. I don’t tow anything. I can get a similarly equipped Frontier for around $10,000 less than a Tacoma. Plus the fact that the Frontier is built in the USA and the new Tacoma is built in Mexico. Apparently Toyota decided to not pass those cost savings on to the consumer.
@@JohnDoe-wy2py Yeah toyota is charging way too much for these new models. To top it off it seems that famous reliability has been slipping up.
Bought a 24 Pro4x and have no regrets whatsoever.
Hard to argue with it. No glaringly obvious negatives. If the Toyota reliability is there, it's worth the money relative to others. But only time well tell.
Glad there are still some reasonable and level headed people on YT still. Too many here go to extremes to either vilify or defend to the death anything that they love or hate.
Pricing is too high, especially with that stealership 'market adjustment'. Toyota *could* enforce markup policies, but they won't because they're making money hand over fist--why rock the cradle?
@@theglowcloud2215 Honestly, I have not seen a dealer around here add any mark-ups to the new Tacos yet. Seems to be more regional.
Bought my Tacoma with no mark up. Southern California longo Toyota!
Thankfully, others are making Tacoma videos because I will definitely not be watching a cyber truck video.
unless its a whistlin diesel cybertruck video
Great review and you’re a natural in front of the camera. I love my 24 Tacoma! I had a 22 tacoma and the 24 is a lot better.
Great video about this truck, the truck looks great compared to other trucks, I got the same truck because this truck performs like a great truck, if this truck was like any other truck I wouldn’t have gotten this truck. Keep in trucking my friend.
The 4 cylinder turbo will need more maintenance like changing your oil and air cleaner more often, warming up and warming down yourturbo engine. The care car nut does an excellent video on this power plant and the turbo will have to be replaced down the road as well, the turbo motors run real Hot!!!!
Oil changes every 5k is a good idea. I do that on both my turbocharged engine and my NA 5.0. It’s just good practice to ensure the oil stays clean and consistent.
Now… has that truck really been “off-road” since the repair, or just off the road?
Does pulling onto the shoulder count?
Case is one of the best guys in the TFL family 😎
Definitely positioned to carry the torch
Case definitely is one of the best guys agreed. Keep it going.
Selling already? Boy, that was a fast turnaround for a vehicle.
I will stick with my 2016 Crew Cab Taco, V6 and 6ft bed.
No one cares. These posts are dumb. No one needs to know you are keeping your old outdated trucks. It's not just you. Literally hundreds of post like this a day 😂. Too many reasons to count. Price, design, whatever who cares.
I also plan on keeping my '17 TRD Sport, V6, ext cab, 6ft bed till the wheels fall off.
DON'T FORGET THE FRONT AXLE SNAPPED AT A NOT SO OFF ROAD TRACK, SO IT DID NOT PERFORM WELL
Seems pretty lame for a supposed unbreakable Tacoma. No Nissans are having these reports...but "Toyota is better." Not sure how that can be.
The second he mentioned that and then said otherwise it performed well I laughed. This channel is a joke.
Owned a 2019 and 2023 Tacoma and I love my 2024 Off road! In fact, my son has the 2023 right now. Cannot really even compare the two generations. 4 gen is better in every way. To those that complain about the price, buy something else, the cheap Taco is no longer cheap. What is? I guess we will see at the end of the year which mid size is the best seller.
I actually agree with you.. it is what it is.. Im sure this truck will continue the reliability its known for but I do have my doubts.. the new powertrains are very very complicated. However. Toyota shot themselves in the foot with the pricing TBH...
Lol sales are down 60% 😂😂😂.
I like this video. I was able to sit in a 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 yesterday, and I thought the vehicle was roomy more so than the 2024 Tundra which is mind blowing. I fit (short stocky build) much better in the Tacoma than I did in a 2024 Tundra. 2024 Tacoma seats were comfortable for the most part but the seat cushion could be more dense and more supportive especially on the side seating area bolstering, it felt mushy and should be more firm. 2024 Tacoma SR5 was nice looking overall. I personally am not sold on a turbo 4 cylinder engine and I'm not a technology fan. I'll keep my 2022 Tacoma SR5 with V6 engine I like to hear my engine purr down the road. I took it in for recall service. Toyotas' Service Dept. is prompt and does great work.
Interesting opinion on the seats. I have a 24' TRD Off-Road Premium with the upgraded seats and all, they're very firm.
I dont think that's purring you hear. That's lugging in the wrong gear 😂. When its not lugging around its screaming like its gonna explode just to pass the prius
@TFLnow: Nice work Case, appreciate the review. I am in the market for a mid-size truck and have two questions. Is the TRD Off Road with the base engine enough for light duty off-roading, fire roads, etc., or should the TRD Pro or Trail-hunter with the hybrid engine be considered? Also, After watching TFL March Truck Madness, it seems that the Ranger and Colorado/Canyon offer a better value, more payload, and higher towing capacity. I am leaning Canyon AT4. What say you?
What kind of pants are those? Been looking for ones like that
I can’t afford any new truck I actually want anymore sadly. The last three four years has steadily increased the pricing to almost $75-80k where they are unobtainium for me and my level of income 😢
Just buy more money. 😊
I'm with you but all hope is not lost. Pay off all your other debts except for your mortgage and save up $25,000. Then you can buy what you want! That's my plan. I also need to grow my emergency fund from 3 months to 6 months then I will work on saving for a truck. This will probably take me 5 years. Saving is the key and work your way up in your career!
I don't save money. I buy dividend paying stocks from top tier companies. But we're all different.
@@FrankyRedEyes Investing is important! I'm still driving my 2010 Honda Accord that's paid off. Eventually I do want to buy a truck. The important part is saving and investing instead of signing up for a $1,000 truck payment!
Wait the dealers out. We're in a recession so your time should come...
People love to knock “4 bangers” but the turbo makes all the difference. I have a 6k lb car hauler that I previously towed with a 5.7L Grand Cherokee and now tow with a 2.7L Turbo Colorado. Power wise they both do a great job but develop power a little differently, I can’t say I have a strong preference either way. The turbo does a better job holding gears when driving through rolling hills. Either option is leagues better than an NA V6 for my needs.
I've had an EcoBoost for over 5 years now and I'm sold on turbos. The low end torque is just what you want in a truck, and it's pretty dang efficient too, if I drive it appropriately.
My buddies Ecoboost had 3 turbo replacements and it kept burning oil and blue smoked at cold start. 120k miles on that truck when he sold it and bought a Toyota @@plmn93
Yes. But what about longevity? Some of us less fortunate can't trade in every 5 years before things start to go. Turbo internals under load have much more stress. They are not like a big truck diesel, designed to run at full load all day with the turbo howling.
@@jeanclaude7018 I can't speak for the Tacoma, but my 2.7 Ecoboost is indeed built like a diesel. Offset connecting rods, compacted graphite iron block, and water cooled manifolds. Yes turbos are another potential point of failure, but no more than direct injection, 8/9/10 speed transmissions, variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation, auto start stop, etc, etc. The days of simple drivetrains are long gone. Turbos can and do fail but they are not the ticking time bomb some people make them out to be. Most people never have an issue. And let's be real. If you can't afford a potential 2-3k repair down the road, you can't afford a 50-60k vehicle to begin with.
@@plmn93 The eco seems like quite the piece of engineering. I was looking at them because they seem capable of almost the same gas mileage as my old Nissan 4 cyl but triple the power. It seems unreal. There must be some wild stuff going on in there.
It seems like somethings like stop/start add a lot of complexity for small gains, and these transmissions are too much. They WILL go down at some point, and it's often $5000 or more. Why can't they at least OFFER a manual option? I mean, the 5 speed in my little truck is original 1987 with 427,000 miles. I've been using that truck 30 years, and it already had 204,000 on it when I bought it in 1995 for $2500. I want to know what happened to things that last forever at a reasonable price. I can rebuild basic engines and transmissions, but this new stuff with 10 computers is another game. The vehicle can be totalled out by a big component going bad due to labor costs.
You're right, I am disabled and can't afford it. Worse, it it's like some new trucks (Tundra) and you gotta pull the cab for just a turbo change, good luck doing that in your garage. It's off to the dealer to get the shaft.
I was just looking for a bigger truck to occasionally tow with. I like the ecoboost because it seems to give an actual fuel mileage reward for the complexity. But I am scared of a used one with no warranty, and I feel helpless knowing I can't work on it and would have to hand it over to a shop. Maybe I'm gonna end up with a gas hog old V8 just for occasional use. I'm frustrated.
Seems like y'all just got the Taco. Selling it soon already wow. Didn't think y'all did that many vids on it.
I think y'all are right, y'all
Good job!
“4wd system performed exceeding.y well”? The front diff hard broke first time out. I wonder what you consider average performance?
Great truck. Tell us about that goofy camper top.
Did you test the Nissan frontier? I think the Nissan will be for me
You guys should do a lot more roadtrips especially with Andrey. His videos are very entertaining.
I ended up with a Honda Ridgeline after driving them all. A substantial difference in ride and nvh.
Front differential breaks at what ? 3000 miles ? Made in Mexico $56,000 I'd be furious
All must be forgiven and forgotten, because the big T is worshipped.
Now if Nissan did that same thing, all Nissans from 1990 to Now would be proclaimed to be junk.
That roof spoiler looks awfully close to that GFC. I wonder how that will fare with frame/bed flex
you guys should do a overlander video along with the ram
I think a problem folks are having is the fact that it’s new and the Tacoma was by far the best in class 3 years ago, now it’s a much more even race, every mid size truck right now is leagues better than anything made before. I have a 2nd gen fronty and it feels analogue, and “ trucky “ a lot of these newer mid sized feel more accommodating and “ car like “. My problem is people crying about the truck being under powered, what are you expecting, towing capacity of a heavy duty, leg room like a full size, power of a mustang, but the size of a mid size, and price of a 2000 ford ranger, I mean c’mon you can’t have everything, mid sized trucks have never been fast, never been able to haul a huge load, and have never had alot of leg room in the back, hell I have a half cab, and my dog barely fits back there.
I bet most of the people complaining haven’t driven one, or don’t own one. They’re only parroting things they heard on the internet.
I've owned 4 Tacomas, and I will NEVER buy a turbo or turbo hybrid. Guess I'll be looking at a NIssan, never thought I'd say that.
Wheres the MOAB offroad comparison video of all midsize trucks?
Looking forward to better tires guys!!!
Great review ! Most reviews on TH-cam are slamming the new Tacoma for being a failure. There are hardly any on the dealers lots in the Midwest where I live. How can so many "experts" know it's a failure when they most likely don't own a Toyota let alone a 2024 Tacoma ?
A 6000 mile review? Idk the turbo scares the hell out of me in the long run.
Have you guys had the oil changed yet?
4-cylinder turbo charged engines weirs out much faster
Maybe I missed it but I thought after breaking the Tacoma you guys said you would be going back to complete that trail with the other mid-size trucks. Very much wanted to see that. I think it’s regrettable you’re selling it already much the same as the Tundra. They’re both long-term testing worthy I think.
I feel like that topper was put on there for a reason too. Lol. Likely cancelled when the Tesla suddenly and unexpectedly became available.
Kase is always on point.
Still no way I'd buy a first model year, even a Toyota.
New experience will be WHEN YOU SELL truck knowing the issue the you had with FRONT DIFFERENTIAL ADD FAILURE.
ya, they basically hammered and flogged this truck, not one that i would buy knowing the history
how is the sound system in the lower trims?
Sir you do exceptional reviews
4 bangers
The 2024 Tacoma gas tank size is 18.2 got smaller.
3gens have a 21.1 gals (2.9 more)…
2024 means more stops at the gas stations..
Given Toyota's reputation for reliability and the new 4 banger with this, it would be interesting if you kept it as the shop recovery vehicle to see how it fairs longer-term but I do understand that ties up money rather than generating it.
Which TFL video highlights the fuel economy of the new TRD Off Road?
There was a few. Truck did 24 mpg and 26 mpg
Really think Toyota shot themselves in the foot with the pricing. In this economy people need an affordable option
That's what i'm saying! Start producing a single cab, long bed, manual transmission, manual windows and roll up windows, Apple car play, bench seat, and price it at $25k and watch it sell out completely.
Who makes the turbo? Is it a Borg warmer , Gerrett? Any idea
Hecho en Mexico, like the rest of the rig?
That front axle snapping was "the pop heard around the world" I can tell you what, If it was me or any schlub from the street the dealer would have denied the warranty and said it was abuse. It wasn't abuse and I'm not sold on what Toyota is doing. Right now between the insane prices and questionable reliability that's going on with Toyota I would stay far away from them. As a former Toyota fan I never thought I would say that.
Agree. They had "special" relationship with their dealer
6K or 2 months which ever comes first. LOL I love it! Move it on. Did EVERYTHING including slapped a "canopy" on it for a sponsor and content. You got this routine down pat. So, that Tesla should be gone in July. Ohhhh wait no no, Roman said you are stuck with that for a year. Drats. That means the Ranger Raptor will be on the chopping block by the end of June. So, going to have to wait a year before you can buy maybe a Nissan product?
This kid is good at this
Love my new gen taco, people hate without even taking it for a test drive
Did you see the video tfl made when it snapped like a twig?
I bought a 2016 V6 and hated it, sold it after a year. fortunately i did not lose any money as they hold their value really well.
The '16 had a narrow high revving torque band which made for a terrible daily driver, the thing would kick down too many gears and really scream and still not move the truck when needed. Plus it bounced around in my subdivsion in under 30 mph zones.
My bad for not catching this during the test drive.
This truck is for young men who will use it offroad.
What octane gas do these take?
What’s the best price you can do without the camper?
As you understandably move on, it would be good to try and stay in touch with/subsequent owners to track its long term reliability ✌️
That is a great idea! They had a rate my ride series for a while, this could be like that! Sell it to a TFL subscriber and follow up!
Since when did Tom Cruise start working for TFL?
Kase has better stage presence and looks the part better too!
Best thing for the consumer is multiple good alternatives so great that people are buying the competition. Which is why Toyota even bothered with a 4th Generation. Glad they did, all the makers will have to do the same if have not yet.
Let the schilling commence.
This is cool vid but i wanna see a 100,000 mile review. Really start to see if it’s worth it
You do not have the 120V 100W ~ 400W outlet in the truck bed, that would make camping a lil less fun!~ An ya do not have the 4X4 on the truck, so is it a Off Road an not 4X4?
I always wanted a Tacoma and I was disappointed when the 6 cylinder was taken away. I waited for the release of this truck and I went with a 2023 instead.
To add insult to injury most of the center screen is useless black space.. so its even SMALLER when it turns on. Im ok with a smaller screen, it is what it is but make it look much better than all show and no go.
It's all about big, useless space now. Look at the puffed up hoods on trucks that have empty space under them. Just like the giant cars of 1958 with a mile between the bumper and radiator.
Easy to park in the downtown?
You didn't mention the new Ranger has a much larger back seating area than all the other mid-size pick-ups.
Is the Go Fast camper for sale separately? I recently purchased a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. I also have a TH-cam channel and would love to to make camping video content with it.
Maybe TFL will sell it to you for what they paid for it.
@JohnDoe-wy2py Free advertising right?
@@TwoFeetOutdoors How long do you plan on keeping your Tacoma? It would be interesting to see a real long term test on one. At least 2 years of ownership and / or 30,000 miles.
@@JohnDoe-wy2py Until it dies.
Amount of wind that camper catches lol bet MPG is horrible
New here? They’ve tested it.
selling the blue lemon - trying to offload before *** happens is understandable but it really would be a service to keep it and document things because you have never had such a big failure so soon before this Toyota
That was quick 6k !
Folks need to realize that a lot of new vehicles on new platforms in the first 1-2 years have growing pains, manufacturers have always had problems when you pass out thousands of vehicles that people do all sorts of things with, stuff breaks and that’s how improvements are made
I love my GEN two 2012 Tacoma. This truck is going to outlive me my son and his children.
I hope not!
I can see Case (Kase?) on one of the big time channels in a couple years.
I would love to have a V6.
They're at the Nissan dealer only. 310 hp.
I like the front locker and wider axles on the $60K+ Pro.
Wait…no front locker and the Pro’s extra width comes from wheel offset and flares! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
4runners, tacomas, landcruisers, GXs all never had front lockers and they dont need them.
@@beexiong2995 ok…😂😂😂
@@scotw67 you can take a stock 4runner from the dealer and hit some gnarly trails. If you need a front locker you are probably out of your league
I wouldn’t trust that thing at all after the front differential blew up.
The Toy Boys will suppress this event and trust it anyway.
Kase & Tommy make TFL so much more enjoyable to watch! I don't know about anyone else but watching the older guys bumble around the cars makes me sigh. If you also bring a smart beautiful woman in the mix, I bet you will get 4 Million Subscribers. Instant Smash!!!
ya, Andre seems to love to interrupt Roman, those two should not present together. Nathan does not let himself be thrown off track as much, some very cringe videos however.😄😄
@@JP-jq1qx Agreed! It's just sad and getting worse to watch them forget what they're talking about more than half the time. OMFG, Lol!
I think my next vehicle going to be a Toyota sharp truck!!
why don't you mention what carvana offered you for this very truck when it only had 3 thousand miles on it?.......OOOOPPS!!!! (ACTUALLY, I WOULDN;T MENTION THAT EITHER)
Yesterday i saw a new taco in the wild, that makes it number 3. Only 3 ive seen. Others havent seen ANY. im happy to see they are not selling. Id honestly be too embarassed to own one.
In '20 I bought 3rd gen TRD 4x4 access cab with a long bed for 29k new. No issues minus 1 recall. Reliable for 200k miles minimum. Whoever is crazy enough to pay 75% more, 4 years later, for a turbo charged 4 banger, just has the money to burn & no consideration for pressure/ wear & tear- post warranty.. No thanks. Toyota blew up its own success model in 2024.
Just get an older one until simply optioned Tacomas are priced under 40k again. Which is never.
I bet it’s thanks to all the haters that I was able to grab a trd offroad premium in solar octane. There’s a ton of space in the engine bay, and they really aren’t that complicated a powertrain. Seems to be a lot of hate just because a turbo exists, and seeing how a lot of other manufacturers have all done the same, I’ll take my chance with the yota.
I think the frontier is the best all rounder mid size on the market rn tbh. Price reliability versatility utilitarian etc.. Im a Ford owner too.
@@ScottyBennitone Toyota is more reliable; but all Japanese vehicles are reliable
@@ScottyBennitoneonly if you want more of the same.
Can’t image why I’d want that truck over my second generation Tacoma.
Selling before the first service, not a great sign of confidence! I still think this gen is a miss for Toyota and wont hold values like previous generations.
I am not in the market for a new truck right now, but if I was going to get a midsize, I’d get a Frontier. Better to let everyone else be the Guinea pig to see if those turbos hold up over time.
The frontier benchmarked the 3rd gen tacoma. Just fyi lol
They definitely missed the mark with this review - Tacoma buyers don’t flip them for something new after a few months. Might well have just watched Raiti’s Ride.
Selling Blueberry??!!! Whatever happened to the "...long term ownership" tag? She's got to feel totally used. Sheesh! Displaced by a Cybertruck.
These days, long term ownership means selling before the warranty expires.
When it comes to off-road vehicles, and the TH-camrs that are testing as part of a review, I really don’t understand why they are not swapping out the tires for an upgraded off-road capable tire??? All the off-roaded vehicles around me have all swapped out their tires, so the test this truck with tires comes on is kind of ridiculous because it doesn’t reflect what people do in the real world 🙄
You have tested it against the top off-road vehicles but not against the top off road Toyotas. The Toyota TRD Off Road is a mid level Tacoma. Test it against the TrailHunter and the TRD Pro when they are released and then it will be a fair comparison.
