Hey! I chose it because I’ve driven stick all my life, my girl has a 6spd sporty car and I like the crawl control and mts the auto comes. I like the smooth simple ride. I was open to both but the army green one was auto and it drove nice so the deal got done. Love it!
I have a 2022 tacoma trd off road. Had it for just over a year I put in 36k miles. I've taken it off roading at least 6 times smacked the under body twice doing it (nothing major). I've had to use 4 lo only twice. Driven it through snow. It's very capable and I haven't had any issues.
23’ off road premium in lunar rock here. Still adapting to the transmission and getting an OTT tune in July. The Lunar Rock colour is one that changes as well, sometimes it’s quite green and other times it’s grey. Got it for a “good deal” in today’s market with only 8000kms. Really is a wonderful truck and even though they’re stock they’re head turners.
Just got a Taco 2021 and mine is fully loaded. What l love about it is the sport package. It’s a woodland addition. The logo is a OD green and above the logo on the door has a woodland tree sticker above it. It’s a black metallic blue flake crazy color.❤️ When the dealer pulled this truck around all I thought about was “How to train your dragon” it looks just like that Pixar movie dragon. 😎
Really glad I found this channel! Very thorough and laid back review, really enjoyed watching this! I'm shopping around for a third gen Tacoma, I've owned 3 2nd gen's(one got totaled) and I wish i hadn't sold my 2015 TRD Sport. I like the technology of the 3rd gen, now that I've had adaptive cruise control on my Camry I don't want to be without it lol. The only thing that concerns me is the gear hunting automatic but I've already reached out to an OTT tuning shop about an hour from my house and got some great info and I'm fully comfortable purchasing a 3rd gen, especially after watching your excellent review and seeing how much you love your truck. I'm going to look at a 2023 TRD Sport tomorrow with 11k miles
I've got a 2016 TRD Sport. When I first got the truck the transmission hunted for the right gear. A few months after I got it, the dealer did a transmission reboot. The difference was night and day. I've got 95K+ miles on it and still love it.
I saw one of these at a local dealership. I've never been a truck person, but the style looked nice. So I found this review. Great job going over it all. It looks even better now.
We got "amazing drivers" in my area too. 😅😅😅 I have a 2006 Tacoma 4x4, with 110K miles. I love it and kept it, because I purchased a 2022 tundra platinum. Can't complain. Love Toyotas, they never let me down.
I only get to drive my 23 OR on weekends, because I’m gone during the week, watching your vids, makes me miss my Tacoma even more!!! Absolutely love these trucks. Thanks Brian
Chemical Guys Natural Shine will cover up the scratches on the interior plastic and prevent new ones. I've had two Tacomas and scuffs from shoes scraping the bottoms of the doors drove me crazy. This product solved the problem and actually looks really good-not that cheesy wet look.
Felt connected when you said: “when I saw that green at the dealership, I had to have it” Back in 2022, 30th of April I bought my daily Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 in that Army Green and when I saw the truck, took a quick picture and said: “I need this truck today!” 😂
Such a nice truck! I'm going for a Tacoma when I upgrade! You put such great effort into keeping it clean and well maintained and I can see it! Also, I thought I was the only one who still knocks off the dirt on my shoes every time before I step into my car! Awhile ago when I had a classmate come along I told him to "knock off the dirt", and he proceeded to knock his shoes against the door sill. I was pissed.
Traded my 19 tacoma in on Monday for a 2022 army green Tacoma. As far as the SEATBELT in my 2019 I bought Velcro Strips and used the fuzzy side so when the seatbelt blows against the plastic it didn't make any sound $5 FIX & worked perfect
I just picked mine up this past Tuesday, been years since I’ve been wanting one so I finally pulled the trigger on a grey magnetic grey trd off road. It’s beautiful 😍
Just got the 2020 off-road and these videos have been very helpful, as I’m a bit of a novice with features, etc. Also just nice to confirm the satisfaction that I suspect I too will have years from now. Thanks man!
My 2023 Tacoma Trail Special Edition will be here is a couple of weeks and I can't wait. Great in depth look at the functions of this truck. Thank you for posting this.
Ok this is a guy’s love affair with a truck! I’m not a green guy but i must say it is perfect on this Taco. I’m ex-military and get it, might just be my favourite colour now on a Taco. Loved this review, different then most but in a really good way. Admire your patience on the mods. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! Just bought a new Tacoma and hearing your enthusiasm and excitement for the truck makes me that much more excited for my new buy. Definitely learned a lot watching your videos. Appreciate you brother
Hi Brian, thank you soooo much for the in-depth review, loved hearing about the truck on long trips with passengers in the back, kinda lets me know what to expect..I’m buying a 23 TRD/O.R., 6’ bed 4dr, very well appointed, tomorrow! It has 29,000, white, I LOVE how it looks, and I’m looking forward to more vids from you, about to watch the remote fob vid.. thanks and keep’em coming, sub’d.
Watching this vid, is making me want to go get a Tacoma… but I love my ‘21 Tundra just as much and can’t seem myself parting from it. I’m the type of owner who parks far and turns around as many times as possible to look at it while I walk away ❤
@@brianruperti Hey! Just an FYI, my Tundra whenever I ride with my windows down, the belt also does hit the plastic, like banging it, so, it is a Toyota truck thing? Lol. Its a 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 2x4. I baby that thing. So far I’ve only modified exhaust (flowmaster super 10 series) and ceramic coat every year. It’s amazing! Hopefully by the end of this year i want to add front leveling kit and 33’s tires. Keeping it stock as mych as possible ❤️
Just looking at you shaking those sandals before you got inside your truck, I know you take care of your truck really good. I sold my Tundra when the gas was about $6+/g. I'm waiting for the next generation Tacoma with a little more interial space. If Toyota stops offering the V6 then I have to settle for 2023. The interial space (especially the back seats) is the only reason that hold me back from buying one right now. I drove the Tundra for 6 yrs and got used its roomy and comfortable interial.
I just learned a built-in fix for those rattling seatbelts. Behind the seatbelt strap is a flat clip that the strap slides into. No more annoying rattling on rough roads or when driving with the windows down. Hope this helps.
Good stuff. I can live with anything, so I got no gripes yet at this point. Just turned over 5k mi on the ‘22. Got a SR5 double cab, shot bed in Barcelona red. No options whatsoever haha. Just all season floor mats haha. Coming from a wrx, so the truck exp is awesome so far
Great review... I have the 2021 TRD Sport so I have the cool hood scoop, better JBL Sound and leather and the heavier sprung suspension makes the ride on the freeway amazing... rides better than most cars Ive had....lol. Im still loving mine 14 months after I bought it.... look forward to more content..
Just went to Toyota of johnson city in northeast Tennessee. Drove a tundra SR5 so pkf truck ans ir was a smooth ride. But I also drive a used Tacoma TDR OR and lived hiw it rode. So the deerskin found me a magnetic gray metallic colored one at a dealer in Georgia. Rhey called me back lady night and said that dealer agreed to swap out a black colored TRD OR truck from their lot. So in 2 more weeks I will be picking up my Tacoma. I am excited as I havw been driving a F150 STX 4x2 model truck for the past 15 years. Tired of only getting around 12/13 mpg. Also looking forward to onxeagain owning a 4x4 truck. Living in Northeast Tennessee about 30 to 40 miles away from the holstom mountains and cherokee national forest I am very excited to bw able to take my new 2023 Tacoma TRD OR truck up some of the fire trails and 4x4 trails along the TN and NC state line over by Erwin, TN and up by Hampton and Roan mountain areas.
Awesome video man! Actually helped me decide to get a Tacoma myself! One thing you need for that dash cam is the Dongar Technologies dash cam adapter! It plugs right in the back of your rear view mirror and you can get rid of that dangling cable. It was one of the best things I got for my Tacoma so far.
Yes, yes, and YES! Definitely Army Green! No TNGA! This body style is preferred by me! I think maybe I would prefer a sunroof as I’ve had cars with sunroofs for years! I wouldn’t nec😢want a Limited model Tacoma. The way yours is outfitted is more than sufficient! What is your opinion of the 2.7 Liter 4 cylinder? I don’t think I would “off road” myself. I would agree with rear seat air vents. This generation of Tacoma is really about the best. Emphasis on “about”! I’ve heard many good things about the 4 Liter V6 and the 5 speed automatic as being pretty dependable and reliable as well. Just my thoughts. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated! Have an awesome weekend! Stay Blessed as well! Mark in Iowa.
Sunroofs are def cool! Thank you for watching! I think the 4cyl is weak and cheap. For the wood choppers that like 4x2 it fits. For me I like power. But maybe you’re just hauling food for a restaurant and don’t need the 6 cyl. They each shine in their own way. The 4Runners drive very nicely. The 4.0L is very smooth. I hope you have a great weekend too and many blessings! Always great to see you here!
Great review. MGM, Army Green, and Barcelona Red where the colors I was looking for. Ended up with MGM. With the Ram bringing back the Dakota and Chevy upping the ante, It will be interesting to see what Toyota does. I've had my 22 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 DCSB since April and just had the 5K mile service done. Aside from the rear child seat anchors ( that as far as I know I have no use for) NOT ONE issue so far. I agree with you on the rear vents. It gets hot back there. My friends and I drove out to Gettysburg PA from the Jersey shore and the truck did fine. I've pulled my 74 VW Beetle on a trailer and it didn't give one hiccup. Even my 68 year old mother loves it. She has a 2016 Camry that she says in boring compared to the Tacoma. The only thing I have to learn is that it's not my 2017 Jetta GLi (that Mom and my girlfriend hated "SLOW THE HELL DOWN") that I replaced with this. I can't take corners with it like I did with that car. It DOES NOT like that.
Nice truck! Great feedback that’s so good to hear :-) Yea the Tacoma is very lovable by all. The TNGA will do very well. Yes I know the feeling. I owned a 2001 GTI VR6. That car was insane.
Great review, and after 2 weeks of owning my 22 TRD OR 4x4, I agree with much of your review. BTW, gas in CA is $5.40, so wish I was getting a bit better, but I'm coming from an F150 FX4 that got 12/13.
Thanks Brian very helpful I just got a 2023 Tacoma cheapie SR5 4x2 4c so I hope I welcome to be here lol but seriously very good video I hear and see the passion you have for Toyota which is cool I wish I had driven to NY to buy it from you after watching a few of your vids tbh I'll actually be in the diamond district tomorrow 3/28 which dealership are you at ? - lastly you mentioned a huge Toyota community, chat rooms or whatever would you please give me links of the best ones so I could join and start asking some questions- this is my first ever Toyota
Hey congrats! I am honored by your comments on buying from me. I’m up at Johnston’s. I recommend Tacoma world forums but lightly because forums have a lot of negativity mixed with great Knowlege. Don’t fall for the pessimism. Enjoy!
Great review, Brian! I have a '22 Tacoma TRD, so I can appreciate how much you like your truck. I feel the same way. Regarding the rear passenger vents, my '22 Tacoma TRD has rear facing vents under both the driver and passenger seats. I put floor jackers by Desert Does It under the passenger seat to lift it off the floor a little bit (including a 1/2" lift on the rear bolts) and that helps move the air to the rear passenger better. I didn't install the floor jackers on the drivers side because having the power seat I don't feel like I need them. I enjoyed your video and info. Thank you! Jon
Hey thanks for watching! Yea I have the same vents but I wish I had the rear vents like the RAV4 that but your face and chest. But other than that very happy with the truck. Enjoy yours as well!
On my 4th Tacoma in 20 yrs. Love my 23 off road edition. Great review I agree with you. I'm also from the salt belt of NY . Looking forward to putting 300,000+ on this one as well as the others.
Hey Brian, really like your review so much, I thought that would be my color tacoma. But where? On 11/ 21 I lucked out and found '21 army green identical to yours except 6 spd manual and Predator step rails. No modes and with 11k. Had to drive 270k to get it. Someone hated the manual in the city traded it back in. I love this color...and all the toyota features you describe. The lines and style. I enjoy it so much! Thanks for an awesome video. Two modes..tailgate prevention..even though it locks and black pull staps and screws, I added to the back seat bottom cushions the holes are already there, now pull up from the center.
Been waiting for this video to drop! Good stuff. I got the same 2021 green one used with 25k miles…but has the bigger OffRoad tires + tech package. I can’t for the life of me get “Green Bean” (what I named her) above 17mpg avg! Maybe its the tires…. That said, I knew goin in its a gas guzzler. Installed 2 steel bars on bed and painted them matte black. Super cool. And with kayak mount it’s sooo useful. Looks great with the bars and kayak I wish i could attach picture here. Such a beauty. I have to test out the windows down+seatbelt flapping. Taken off-roading a bit and lots of boating/camping adventures in the bush already. Looking fwd to your off-roading vid. That is still a space I am learning. I think next upgrade will be the truck bed rubber mat. Cheers man you make the best review vids!
Nice truck! The tires prob doing that to the mpg. Nice to hear it being used well! Rubber mat will make you very happy. Thanks for the support and for watching! 🙏🏼
Good review! 🖖 I don’t know why people get worked up about the shifting, mines a 2019 Trd 6 foot bed. What I do is just use the manual shifters when going down a hill, that way you don’t have to ride the brakes. When it comes to going up hills I like to use the Ecomode, seems to give more power and some people say they always just leave it on. Too bad there’s not a way to do this without resetting it every time you drive. As far as lifts go, I wouldn’t do it. Not only do you void the warranty, you change the driveshaft balance, which some say that you need to replace it for a custom built one. I have airbags in the back, which makes it ride so smooth, like butter! 🤙😝 I also use E rated tires, which are Falken peaks! I drive through the snow with no worries! I also like the 6 foot bed because I can haul almost anything and put a camper on the back.
@@brianruperti Oh I forgot to mention that my Tacoma bed being 6 feet long, gives the cab a much bigger feel than the standard Tacoma. I have at least 6 inches above my head, and I’m 6 foot two. I’t might also have to do with the fact that mine is some kind of sport crossover - not a direct sport, because mine is a TRD. Anyway most people who are tall always complain about the low roof, this model is a godsend! 🤙
Very nice truck! I have a 2018 Tundra Limited 4x4 Crew Max, fits our needs and family perfectly for rv towing and road trips. That said I miss having a smaller truck for a daily and if I had extra cash for a truck it would be a Tacoma TRD Off Road or Limited with a nice topper.
Thank you! Is this Henry w the FJ from yesterday? If so it was great to talk with you! If it is Pat, nice to meet you also! (I’m assuming Henry from your user name and photo of an FJ)
Regarding upgrades: I have the same army green TRD Off Road. I replaced my front bump stops with Sumo Spring bump stops and what a difference it made in instances where you bottom out the front end. The Sumo Springs smooth out those compressions. Speed bumps in parking lots caused my truck to bottom out hard on the hard rubber stops (I don’t speed thru parking lots). The Sumo Springs (blue) won’t disappoint.
Great video. I just got my 2022 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD Just like yours except it is White. Waited 8 weeks for it. I love it. Haven’t noticed any transmission shifting problems ( only have 50 miles on it) . I like your Tonneau cover. Did you get it at Amazon? Do you recommend that brand? Do you have the link for it? Is it the roll up one? Can’t wait to take it on my next fishing trip. !
Thank you! Congrats! I love the white ones because no other color plays with those black fender flares as white does. I’ll never forget this Instagram pic I screenshot 2 years ago. It’s of a white Offraod on a woods trail with lots of snow, and some orange dried pine needles in a clearing behind and lots of snowy pine trees in the background. The truck was angled nicely and it had yellow fogs beaming. That photo is actually the photo that inspired me to get the fogs I have. And I considered white. I love it! I hope you enjoy it. It’s like a rugged polar bear!
Oh also, yes I got on Amazon and I don’t have a link but here’s the install video. Very happy with it. It’s a trifold. Keeps 90% of water out. th-cam.com/video/DSeiGU_aLMw/w-d-xo.html
Now that I have one, haha, I’m seeing them ALL OVER… here in So Cal, white is a very popular color, due to the high heat..I’m also noticing quite a few gen 2’s
I hope they put the Lexus 2.0L turbo in the tacoma, my wives Lexus flies and gets 30 mpg very smooth and bullet proof engine.I waited 12yrs from my 2008 TRD OR till Toyota finally came out with all my required updates, ie. leather, power seat, apple car play, LED lights, off road camera, sunroof and now my truck 2020 TRD OR prem. is just what I wanted. Great truck getting about 22 mpg compared to my 08 getting 17 but did good on hwy 25.
Ive got a 2022 AG TRD OR DCLB. Love my truck, my only gripe is the cloth seat is not soft, not even a little. if you're 28 it's probably no big deal but for those of us passing 40, I'd appreciate a softer seat. I'll have to replace mine with Katzkin soon. Other than that, the truck is amazing.
Did I hear that correctly? In 2 years he only put 21 thousand miles on it? Seems low to me especially with all the trips he took in it. He is right, they are great trucks. I have a 2021 myself.
Thanks for the informative video. Have you ever looked at seat covers if so any brand you can recommend? Also what kind of undercoating do you get? Thanks
Hey Brian, I love all the Tacoma and Toyota content on your channel. I own a 21’ Tacoma and 20’ 4Runner. I have a Tacoma question I was wondering if you could find any insider info on. Mid way through 2020 Toyota removed the external trans cooler from the Tacoma and made a modified design for cooling the trans fluid. Do any of the techs you work with have an opinion on this being a better/worse/break even design change? I’ve dug around the internet quite a bit and can’t find a reason why Toyota did it. Thanks for all the content you make. I’ve turned several people on to your videos who are shopping for Toyota’s.
I owned a 2020 trd offroad tacoma and my tailgate damper broke twice already, it needed to be replaced both time and I noticed it started to bend again, Idk if is my fault for having a mountain bike pad on it all the time but honestly I d9nt see why that would be a problem buy yeah I have never heard anyone having the same issue but that's my experience with the tacoma other than that everything has been great. I don't have the transmission issue since my truck is 6 speed manual and I love it
Good update! I had planned to buy a TRD Off-road quad cab last year but had to put it off until later this year. I was going to get the Army green, but I guess Toyota stopped offering that color. Any idea why they did that? Now I'm considering lunar rock or possibly white. Thanks for the detailed look at your truck.
@@brianruperti I watched this video again after ordering a 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-road quad cab with the long bed. In order to get the long bed, I had to get some packages that I would not have ordinarily wanted, but several of them are included on your truck. Watching this again made me feel better about having the packages on my truck, if that makes sense.
The 16’ and 17’ tacomas were unrefined I would agree. Probably also due to the massive CPS crankshaft sensor recall and premature failure. Even the trucks that didn’t have “issues” were not the best performing drivetrain wise.
Brian, this was a very detailed video and it is extremely helpful, especially for those on the fence about buying a Tacoma. I bought my 22 Tacoma based on your first Tacoma review. 2 questions I need help with: Fog light name brand & bed cover name brand. Would you recommend that cover or another. Again thanks brother for telling it as is. We appreciate it. If you do not mind when you get a hold of a 2022 GR 86 could you do a review for us, please. Thanks again!
Hey thanks for watching my most recent review! I’m so lucky and feel honored to have made an impact on your decision. It feel great knowing this. Here is a video on the cover. I like it a lot for the money it’s been awesome th-cam.com/video/DSeiGU_aLMw/w-d-xo.html As far as the fog lights. They are made by Baja Designs. Love them. You have 2 roads to take: 1.) The squadron SPORTS (extremely bright and absolutely illegal for the road) 2.) The Squadron SAE (road legal, still amazing looking) You can also choose clear glass or yellow, and you can decide between 2 type of beams (projector or scatter). I also have the clear lenses that I bought 1/2 protector 1/2 scatter and they’re cool but my full scatter yellows hooked me in. I hope that helps! Yes I’d love to review the GR 86! Will keep an eye out. I missed a black manual one it flew off the truck and went home so fast. Cheers!
@@brianruperti in my area these tailgates get stolen quite frequently, so I highly recommend it there’s videos walking you through it step-by-step, but it was surprisingly easy and it’s a factory Toyota kit comes with the wire plugs and everything
Love your Tacoma. That green looks fantastic! I put an order in for a 2023 trail edition. Green isn't available in Canada so I went for magnetic grey. Nice simple truck that I'm hoping will last many years.
I fill from a quarter at $3.60/gal it’s around $55-$60 When I bought the truck Nov 2020 it was $36 from a quarter When gas was $5.00/gal is was $78 from a quarter.
My passenger seatbelt buckle is insanely annoying with banging around with the windows down. Must be a normal thing unfortunately. My fix is to grab the belt (under the buckle) and pull it forward until it gets caught on the chair a bit and that solves it. Nice truck! I have a Trd Off Road as well!
wow , gorgeous . I am looking at a 2009 which still seems to have some heart left. It's a manual so I don't have to get with that computerized transmission, but that is pretty cool .
How much did the LED Headlights cost you. I have a line on a 2022 SR5 with the heritage package....including the bronze wheels. I don't like the base headlamps and this model also doesn't have the driving lights.

Hi Brian, thank you soooo much for the in-depth review, loved hearing about the truck on long trips with passengers in the back, kinda lets me know what to expect..I’m buying a 23 TRD/O.R., 6’ bed 4dr, very well appointed, tomorrow! It has 29,000, white, I LOVE how it looks, and I’m looking forward to more vids from you, about to watch the remote fob vid.. thanks and keep’em coming, sub’d.
Hey thanks for watching! Youll love that truck. And welcome to the channel 😎
Watching this vid, is making me want to go get a Tacoma… but I love my ‘21 Tundra just as much and can’t seem myself parting from it. I’m the type of owner who parks far and turns around as many times as possible to look at it while I walk away ❤
I’m flattered! What grade and color tundra do you have?
@@brianruperti Hey! Just an FYI, my Tundra whenever I ride with my windows down, the belt also does hit the plastic, like banging it, so, it is a Toyota truck thing? Lol. Its a 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5 2x4. I baby that thing. So far I’ve only modified exhaust (flowmaster super 10 series) and ceramic coat every year. It’s amazing! Hopefully by the end of this year i want to add front leveling kit and 33’s tires. Keeping it stock as mych as possible ❤️
Must be. Nice setup you have
Just looking at you shaking those sandals before you got inside your truck, I know you take care of your truck really good. I sold my Tundra when the gas was about $6+/g. I'm waiting for the next generation Tacoma with a little more interial space. If Toyota stops offering the V6 then I have to settle for 2023. The interial space (especially the back seats) is the only reason that hold me back from buying one right now. I drove the Tundra for 6 yrs and got used its roomy and comfortable interial.
Yes I take care of it as much as I can. There’s a 90% chance the V6 is going away. But we shall see!
These trucks really shines with the manual transmission
Yes they’re fun. Auto was best for me this purchase though!
I just learned a built-in fix for those rattling seatbelts. Behind the seatbelt strap is a flat clip that the strap slides into. No more annoying rattling on rough roads or when driving with the windows down. Hope this helps.
This
Yes that’s for the back buckles but my front passenger buckle rattles and I don’t have a clip for it.
@@brianruperti you just gotta pull it down then flatten it up so that way it stays away from your panel.
Good stuff. I can live with anything, so I got no gripes yet at this point. Just turned over 5k mi on the ‘22. Got a SR5 double cab, shot bed in Barcelona red. No options whatsoever haha. Just all season floor mats haha. Coming from a wrx, so the truck exp is awesome so far
Thanks for watching and nice upgrade!
Your Tacoma is awesome, especially the color. About to get one from 2019-2023 model. Thanks for sharing your review.
Thanks! You’ll love it
Great review... I have the 2021 TRD Sport so I have the cool hood scoop, better JBL Sound and leather and the heavier sprung suspension makes the ride on the freeway amazing... rides better than most cars Ive had....lol. Im still loving mine 14 months after I bought it.... look forward to more content..
Nice thanks for sharing and for the support!
Great review, Nice Tacoma looks sweet in that perfect green exterior 😊👍
Thanks!! 🙏🏼
@@brianruperti Your welcome buddy.
Just went to Toyota of johnson city in northeast Tennessee. Drove a tundra SR5 so pkf truck ans ir was a smooth ride. But I also drive a used Tacoma TDR OR and lived hiw it rode. So the deerskin found me a magnetic gray metallic colored one at a dealer in Georgia. Rhey called me back lady night and said that dealer agreed to swap out a black colored TRD OR truck from their lot. So in 2 more weeks I will be picking up my Tacoma. I am excited as I havw been driving a F150 STX 4x2 model truck for the past 15 years. Tired of only getting around 12/13 mpg. Also looking forward to onxeagain owning a 4x4 truck.
Living in Northeast Tennessee about 30 to 40 miles away from the holstom mountains and cherokee national forest I am very excited to bw able to take my new 2023 Tacoma TRD OR truck up some of the fire trails and 4x4 trails along the TN and NC state line over by Erwin, TN and up by Hampton and Roan mountain areas.
I love the way you explain things. Simply articulate and interesting to hear. Good job!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Awesome video man! Actually helped me decide to get a Tacoma myself! One thing you need for that dash cam is the Dongar Technologies dash cam adapter! It plugs right in the back of your rear view mirror and you can get rid of that dangling cable. It was one of the best things I got for my Tacoma so far.
Thanks for watching and for the tip
Yes, yes, and YES! Definitely Army Green! No TNGA! This body style is preferred by me! I think maybe I would prefer a sunroof as I’ve had cars with sunroofs for years! I wouldn’t nec😢want a Limited model Tacoma. The way yours is outfitted is more than sufficient! What is your opinion of the 2.7 Liter 4 cylinder? I don’t think I would “off road” myself. I would agree with rear seat air vents. This generation of Tacoma is really about the best. Emphasis on “about”! I’ve heard many good things about the 4 Liter V6 and the 5 speed automatic as being pretty dependable and reliable as well. Just my thoughts. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated! Have an awesome weekend! Stay Blessed as well! Mark in Iowa.
Sunroofs are def cool! Thank you for watching! I think the 4cyl is weak and cheap. For the wood choppers that like 4x2 it fits. For me I like power. But maybe you’re just hauling food for a restaurant and don’t need the 6 cyl. They each shine in their own way.
The 4Runners drive very nicely. The 4.0L is very smooth. I hope you have a great weekend too and many blessings! Always great to see you here!
Great review. MGM, Army Green, and Barcelona Red where the colors I was looking for. Ended up with MGM. With the Ram bringing back the Dakota and Chevy upping the ante, It will be interesting to see what Toyota does. I've had my 22 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 DCSB since April and just had the 5K mile service done. Aside from the rear child seat anchors ( that as far as I know I have no use for) NOT ONE issue so far. I agree with you on the rear vents. It gets hot back there. My friends and I drove out to Gettysburg PA from the Jersey shore and the truck did fine. I've pulled my 74 VW Beetle on a trailer and it didn't give one hiccup. Even my 68 year old mother loves it. She has a 2016 Camry that she says in boring compared to the Tacoma. The only thing I have to learn is that it's not my 2017 Jetta GLi (that Mom and my girlfriend hated "SLOW THE HELL DOWN") that I replaced with this. I can't take corners with it like I did with that car. It DOES NOT like that.
Nice truck! Great feedback that’s so good to hear :-)
Yea the Tacoma is very lovable by all. The TNGA will do very well. Yes I know the feeling. I owned a 2001 GTI VR6. That car was insane.
Great review, and after 2 weeks of owning my 22 TRD OR 4x4, I agree with much of your review. BTW, gas in CA is $5.40, so wish I was getting a bit better, but I'm coming from an F150 FX4 that got 12/13.
Congrats!! Thanks for watching. Why is it so high???
@@brianrupertibecause he’s from CA. Lol
Great review !! Excellent looking truck. I just got the 2022 SR5 double cab in white.
Thanks! Big congrats! SR5s are awesome 👌🏼
Thanks Brian very helpful I just got a 2023 Tacoma cheapie SR5 4x2 4c so I hope I welcome to be here lol but seriously very good video I hear and see the passion you have for Toyota which is cool I wish I had driven to NY to buy it from you after watching a few of your vids tbh I'll actually be in the diamond district tomorrow 3/28 which dealership are you at ? - lastly you mentioned a huge Toyota community, chat rooms or whatever would you please give me links of the best ones so I could join and start asking some questions- this is my first ever Toyota
Hey congrats! I am honored by your comments on buying from me. I’m up at Johnston’s. I recommend Tacoma world forums but lightly because forums have a lot of negativity mixed with great Knowlege. Don’t fall for the pessimism. Enjoy!
Great review, Brian! I have a '22 Tacoma TRD, so I can appreciate how much you like your truck. I feel the same way. Regarding the rear passenger vents, my '22 Tacoma TRD has rear facing vents under both the driver and passenger seats. I put floor jackers by Desert Does It under the passenger seat to lift it off the floor a little bit (including a 1/2" lift on the rear bolts) and that helps move the air to the rear passenger better. I didn't install the floor jackers on the drivers side because having the power seat I don't feel like I need them. I enjoyed your video and info. Thank you! Jon
Hey thanks for watching! Yea I have the same vents but I wish I had the rear vents like the RAV4 that but your face and chest. But other than that very happy with the truck. Enjoy yours as well!
I whole heartedly agree with all your observations and for the same reasons I love my '21 Tacoma
Thanks for watching! I still love my 21 as well 😎 cheers
Nice video. I just got the same exact truck and love it. Always puts a smile on my face.
Congrats! They’re a ton of fun
Love that color man
I can’t believe they don’t have it as an option now
Thanks!
you and I have the same color truck... I too kept mine stock..!
😎👌🏼
On my 4th Tacoma in 20 yrs. Love my 23 off road edition. Great review I agree with you. I'm also from the salt belt of NY . Looking forward to putting 300,000+ on this one as well as the others.
Nice! And thank you for watching 🙏🏼
@@brianruperti Your welcome. I'll be watching. If Ever need a 2nd truck ide be happy to help. Ithaca area.
Sold me. Love your passion. Cheers
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Brian, really like your review so much, I thought that would be my color tacoma. But where? On 11/ 21 I lucked out and found '21 army green identical to yours except 6 spd manual and Predator step rails. No modes and with 11k. Had to drive
270k to get it. Someone hated the manual in the city traded it back in. I love this color...and all the toyota features you describe. The lines and style. I enjoy it so much! Thanks for an awesome video. Two modes..tailgate prevention..even though it locks and black pull staps and screws, I added to the back seat bottom cushions the holes are already there, now pull up from the center.
Nice! Thanks for watching and yes so glad you love the green! Great mods by the way
Been waiting for this video to drop! Good stuff. I got the same 2021 green one used with 25k miles…but has the bigger OffRoad tires + tech package. I can’t for the life of me get “Green Bean” (what I named her) above 17mpg avg! Maybe its the tires…. That said, I knew goin in its a gas guzzler. Installed 2 steel bars on bed and painted them matte black. Super cool. And with kayak mount it’s sooo useful. Looks great with the bars and kayak I wish i could attach picture here. Such a beauty. I have to test out the windows down+seatbelt flapping. Taken off-roading a bit and lots of boating/camping adventures in the bush already. Looking fwd to your off-roading vid. That is still a space I am learning. I think next upgrade will be the truck bed rubber mat. Cheers man you make the best review vids!
Nice truck! The tires prob doing that to the mpg. Nice to hear it being used well! Rubber mat will make you very happy. Thanks for the support and for watching! 🙏🏼
Good review! 🖖
I don’t know why people get worked up about the shifting, mines a 2019 Trd 6 foot bed. What I do is just use the manual shifters when going down a hill, that way you don’t have to ride the brakes.
When it comes to going up hills I like to use the Ecomode, seems to give more power and some people say they always just leave it on. Too bad there’s not a way to do this without resetting it every time you drive.
As far as lifts go, I wouldn’t do it. Not only do you void the warranty, you change the driveshaft balance, which some say that you need to replace it for a custom built one.
I have airbags in the back, which makes it ride so smooth, like butter! 🤙😝
I also use E rated tires, which are Falken peaks! I drive through the snow with no worries! I also like the 6 foot bed because I can haul almost anything and put a camper on the back.
Thanks for watching! I agree. People can be funny that’s for sure. Air bags nice! And yes the 6ft bed is great for the haulers 😎
Btw I’ve heard a lot of good things about those tires
@@brianruperti
Oh I forgot to mention that my Tacoma bed being 6 feet long, gives the cab a much bigger feel than the standard Tacoma. I have at least 6 inches above my head, and I’m 6 foot two.
I’t might also have to do with the fact that mine is some kind of sport crossover - not a direct sport, because mine is a TRD.
Anyway most people who are tall always complain about the low roof, this model is a godsend! 🤙
One of my neighbors has one of these with a long bed and man it’s a mean looking truck.
💪🏼
Very nice truck! I have a 2018 Tundra Limited 4x4 Crew Max, fits our needs and family perfectly for rv towing and road trips. That said I miss having a smaller truck for a daily and if I had extra cash for a truck it would be a Tacoma TRD Off Road or Limited with a nice topper.
Thanks! I love the crewmax and limited is sweet!
Nice truck, Brian. Nice meeting you, too.
Thank you! Is this Henry w the FJ from yesterday? If so it was great to talk with you! If it is Pat, nice to meet you also! (I’m assuming Henry from your user name and photo of an FJ)
Love that Army Green so much
Thanks!!
That green is beautiful.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video man! I'm picking up mine on Friday! Identical to yours, but with the leather interior and such. Cheers from Victoria BC 🍁
Thanks! Big congrats! Nice truck. Enjoy it!!
Regarding upgrades: I have the same army green TRD Off Road. I replaced my front bump stops with Sumo Spring bump stops and what a difference it made in instances where you bottom out the front end. The Sumo Springs smooth out those compressions. Speed bumps in parking lots caused my truck to bottom out hard on the hard rubber stops (I don’t speed thru parking lots). The Sumo Springs (blue) won’t disappoint.
Man two years in, that's a clean engine bay.
4 year review coming soon!
yeah, that green is gorgeous
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video. I just got my 2022 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD Just like yours except it is White. Waited 8 weeks for it.
I love it. Haven’t noticed any transmission shifting problems ( only have 50 miles on it) . I like your Tonneau cover. Did you get it at Amazon? Do you recommend that brand? Do you have the link for it? Is it the roll up one?
Can’t wait to take it on my next fishing trip. !
Thank you! Congrats! I love the white ones because no other color plays with those black fender flares as white does. I’ll never forget this Instagram pic I screenshot 2 years ago. It’s of a white Offraod on a woods trail with lots of snow, and some orange dried pine needles in a clearing behind and lots of snowy pine trees in the background. The truck was angled nicely and it had yellow fogs beaming. That photo is actually the photo that inspired me to get the fogs I have. And I considered white. I love it! I hope you enjoy it. It’s like a rugged polar bear!
Oh also, yes I got on Amazon and I don’t have a link but here’s the install video. Very happy with it. It’s a trifold. Keeps 90% of water out.
th-cam.com/video/DSeiGU_aLMw/w-d-xo.html
Just posted that pic I mentioned. Check it out 👌🏼
Great review. You picked a great location too.
Thank you!
Great guesses on the 4cyl and turbo
Thanks
Thanks for clarifying about transmission situation
Now that I have one, haha, I’m seeing them ALL OVER… here in So Cal, white is a very popular color, due to the high heat..I’m also noticing quite a few gen 2’s
Very cool
Put a small black o-ring on the trip meter reset button and roll it down against the glass to keep dust out.
Thanks for the tip
I hope they put the Lexus 2.0L turbo in the tacoma, my wives Lexus flies and gets 30 mpg very smooth and bullet proof engine.I waited 12yrs from my 2008 TRD OR till Toyota finally came out with all my required updates, ie. leather, power seat, apple car play, LED lights, off road camera, sunroof and now my truck 2020 TRD OR prem. is just what I wanted. Great truck getting about 22 mpg compared to my 08 getting 17 but did good on hwy 25.
I agree and nice ride!
Ive got a 2022 AG TRD OR DCLB. Love my truck, my only gripe is the cloth seat is not soft, not even a little. if you're 28 it's probably no big deal but for those of us passing 40, I'd appreciate a softer seat. I'll have to replace mine with Katzkin soon. Other than that, the truck is amazing.
Yes I agree with that statement
Did I hear that correctly? In 2 years he only put 21 thousand miles on it? Seems low to me especially with all the trips he took in it. He is right, they are great trucks. I have a 2021 myself.
Live close to work!
Put an order in for one last week can’t wait
Nice what color
Thanks for the informative video. Have you ever looked at seat covers if so any brand you can recommend? Also what kind of undercoating do you get? Thanks
Thanks for watching. I never had seat covers I prefer not to use them. I spray fluid film.
Still looks shiny new 🤩
🙏🏼
Which tube steps do you have? They look great
Tyger stars thank you
Great review thanks. I'm looking to get a 2023 model within the next few months.
Thanks for watching!
Solid review
Thanks
Hey Brian, I love all the Tacoma and Toyota content on your channel. I own a 21’ Tacoma and 20’ 4Runner. I have a Tacoma question I was wondering if you could find any insider info on. Mid way through 2020 Toyota removed the external trans cooler from the Tacoma and made a modified design for cooling the trans fluid. Do any of the techs you work with have an opinion on this being a better/worse/break even design change? I’ve dug around the internet quite a bit and can’t find a reason why Toyota did it. Thanks for all the content you make. I’ve turned several people on to your videos who are shopping for Toyota’s.
Hey Jake thanks for the support! Interesting question I will have to ask and get back to you on that one.
Hey so the techs I spoke to said they’re not concerned with any changes the Tacoma had because they’ve been mainly very reliable.
Sounds good to me thanks for the response Brian! 👍👍👍
Of course!
I owned a 2020 trd offroad tacoma and my tailgate damper broke twice already, it needed to be replaced both time and I noticed it started to bend again, Idk if is my fault for having a mountain bike pad on it all the time but honestly I d9nt see why that would be a problem buy yeah I have never heard anyone having the same issue but that's my experience with the tacoma other than that everything has been great. I don't have the transmission issue since my truck is 6 speed manual and I love it
Interesting issue but who know. Nice rig! 6 speed is fun
Good update! I had planned to buy a TRD Off-road quad cab last year but had to put it off until later this year. I was going to get the Army green, but I guess Toyota stopped offering that color. Any idea why they did that? Now I'm considering lunar rock or possibly white. Thanks for the detailed look at your truck.
Thank you! No idea why but as an army green owner selfishly I like that there won’t be too many of them on the road. Sorry. Lunar rock is awesome!
@@brianruperti I watched this video again after ordering a 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-road quad cab with the long bed. In order to get the long bed, I had to get some packages that I would not have ordinarily wanted, but several of them are included on your truck. Watching this again made me feel better about having the packages on my truck, if that makes sense.
The 16’ and 17’ tacomas were unrefined I would agree. Probably also due to the massive CPS crankshaft sensor recall and premature failure. Even the trucks that didn’t have “issues” were not the best performing drivetrain wise.
Yes I agree the frontier does look like the Tac but it is better on the acceleration.
Awesome video
Thanks!
Brian, this was a very detailed video and it is extremely helpful, especially for those on the fence about buying a Tacoma. I bought my 22 Tacoma based on your first Tacoma review.
2 questions I need help with:
Fog light name brand & bed cover name brand. Would you recommend that cover or another.
Again thanks brother for telling it as is. We appreciate it.
If you do not mind when you get a hold of a 2022 GR 86 could you do a review for us, please. Thanks again!
Hey thanks for watching my most recent review! I’m so lucky and feel honored to have made an impact on your decision. It feel great knowing this.
Here is a video on the cover. I like it a lot for the money it’s been awesome
th-cam.com/video/DSeiGU_aLMw/w-d-xo.html
As far as the fog lights. They are made by Baja Designs. Love them. You have 2 roads to take:
1.) The squadron SPORTS (extremely bright and absolutely illegal for the road)
2.) The Squadron SAE (road legal, still amazing looking)
You can also choose clear glass or yellow, and you can decide between 2 type of beams (projector or scatter). I also have the clear lenses that I bought 1/2 protector 1/2 scatter and they’re cool but my full scatter yellows hooked me in.
I hope that helps!
Yes I’d love to review the GR 86! Will keep an eye out. I missed a black manual one it flew off the truck and went home so fast.
Cheers!
Hello, is there a A pillar grab handle (add on) for corolla cross?
They make a factory tailgate lock it’s about 140 bucks. I did it myself took about an hour but I’ll plugs right in.
Yup been thinking bout doing it
@@brianruperti in my area these tailgates get stolen quite frequently, so I highly recommend it there’s videos walking you through it step-by-step, but it was surprisingly easy and it’s a factory Toyota kit comes with the wire plugs and everything
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Brian great video 👍🏻I also own a Toyota Tacoma trail 2021
Thank you! Nice truck! What color?
Love your Tacoma. That green looks fantastic! I put an order in for a 2023 trail edition. Green isn't available in Canada so I went for magnetic grey. Nice simple truck that I'm hoping will last many years.
Thank you! Congrats let me know how you like it when you get it
Thinking about getting an off road lunar rock! Kinda like army green and cement had a baby
Yes and it’s a super cool color in the summer heat! Very cooling color. Love LR
How much does it cost to fill it up. Specially with these crazy gas prices right now
I fill from a quarter at $3.60/gal it’s around $55-$60
When I bought the truck Nov 2020 it was $36 from a quarter
When gas was $5.00/gal is was $78 from a quarter.
Awesome vid
Thanks!
Nice truck Brian. Who tinted the windows and do you recommend them?
Thank you. Auto Lovers and yes I do.
So that explains the revving then on the highway at certain area's, but this is going up not down, with cc set.
That, is a very nice truck!
Thanks!
My passenger seatbelt buckle is insanely annoying with banging around with the windows down. Must be a normal thing unfortunately. My fix is to grab the belt (under the buckle) and pull it forward until it gets caught on the chair a bit and that solves it. Nice truck! I have a Trd Off Road as well!
Interesting. Maybe I’ll just buckle it up. Thanks! Which color did you get?
@@brianruperti Mine’s a ‘19 in magnetic metallic grey!
Nice color! My buddy has that color I always get jealous when the sun hits it
@@brianruperti There is a wild “deep” look to the color in the sun I know exactly what you mean! But don’t be jealous your truck is gorgeous! Haha
Appreciated! 🙏🏼
The Green on your Taco is very pretty. It would be Gorgeous if you 2 toned it in Tan metallic.
Thank you
@@brianruperti I’m 2 toning my White TRD Off Road in Barcelona Red metallic. The red will follow the body lines of my Tacoma
Unfortunately you got the auto version. I shift my 6 speed manual when I want to, no issue here with my 2021 Trd Off Road.
Went auto for the crawl control and love using it. The manuals are cool too though.
wow , gorgeous . I am looking at a 2009 which still seems to have some heart left. It's a manual so I don't have to get with that computerized transmission, but that is pretty cool .
Hey thanks for watching!
2009 is a nice year for the Tacoma
@@brianruperti great shoot. Amazingly, these are neck and neck in price with Rangers but they are more reliable! Hmmm.
@@brianruperti still weeding though the maze of recalls etc. but that helps, thanks.
who detailed it? because that is really clean for all the driving you did. engine bay also
Me! Thank you
@@brianruperti iam a clean freak with my cars also. I got a 2022 off road on order. Patiently waiting
Nice! Be sure to check out my Tacoma playlist where you can find my cleaning tips! I have a video for the body and one for the frame
How much did the LED Headlights cost you. I have a line on a 2022 SR5 with the heritage package....including the bronze wheels. I don't like the base headlamps and this model also doesn't have the driving lights.
About $500 as a package from the factory
I have the same truck 🛻 but the dark gray. 2023 and I feel l the same way you do about yours;!
Nice!!
The access cab long bed was my choice. That 5' bed is kinda worthless.
🥲
Green is beautiful but windchill pearl my favorite
👌🏼
