What do you think about the early 90s v6 3.0 Nissan Pathfinder v6 I have always loved the 4 cylinder I still drive a d21 z24i Hardbody but recently got a Pathfinder I just had to replace fuel pump but has timing belt instead of chain so I get that difference but overall haven't seen much about the V6✌️
Wrong
I want somebody who talks about me like Scotty talks about Toyota.
God loves you and never talks badly about you. Just saying...
A Mexico built Toyota with 4 cylinder engine being used for a snow plow and to repair your credit?
bias and full of sh*t
@@nowadd0 I believe in miracles too
😂
got the 4cyl 2wd about 4 months ago. At the time, toyota had a 0% int deal for the 2wd tacos. great truck. I didn't want the frills or a big infotainment screen. it's not fast, but I didn't buy a taco to go fast. I was coming from a 2005 bmw killing me with part costs. I bought a tacoma to not break. I get about 21 city and up to 25 highway.
I don’t think Scotty knows that Guam is a US territory, that’s battery is USA
my cousin works in a plant in mexico and he quit due to them overlooking dangerous issues when shipping out cars
We have some at work 2018-2019 and they already start having issues with transmission not shifting properly and weak AC. They only have around 120k
Tacoma?
Scott is full of it,the guy is all talk.
My tacoma’s battery died in a few years but it’s a really capable vehicle and I love how dependable it is otherwise. I’d much rather the colony spend money on thei engine and transmission quality instead of all the gimmicks like a step for the tailgate.
How many years?
The 3rd gen battery was undersized for the first 3 years. they only gave you a 550 cca battery and it was just too small. They upgraded to a 600+ cca in 2019 so the newer batteries should last longer
I like old tech. I hope Ford is watching and applies this to their Ranger.
Keep your hands in your pocket dude! I've never sent anyone wave their hands around that much
I've gone through 2 rear shocks in this thing. My fault cause the bed was over weight by 500 pounds 🤣. I will admit I hate the throttle response in this thing. I catch myself switching it to sport mode when I'm in a hurry cause man it's terrible. The fuel lasts me a week from my home to home remodeling projects. My year 2017 went threw a fuel injector clog that was fixed under warranty. And that was 2 years ago. No issues other than that. I will say this. Make sure you get 100k maintenance.
Should of bought a 2011 5.0 or 6.2 f150
I bought 2022 Tacoma sr5 v6 man I luv it very smooth ride only thing on that truck when u floor it kinda lag
Speed, power, and Tacoma don’t go in the same sentence, not even with the v6.
Sheesh! How many cars and trucks does Scotty own??
Tacoma or tundra ?? I’m looking for a dependable truck on the smaller side
I love my yota
Scotty, I love you, man, I swear!
I want a TACO but the car market for mid size trucks so $$$$$
Thank you! My old Tacoma just went up in price cuz of these Mexican ones
Thank you Scotty
Dam Mexico…lucky my doesn’t have any issue…
My 07 made in Mexico Tacoma is still running at 322k miles.
What engine have you got? Serious mileage.
@@marcpikas2859 V6 4.0 Hardly any issues either.
@@AF-we1zc That’s good news to me. Synth. Oil changes and filters at 6000 miles. Not abused either.
The difference between assembled in Mexico and Texas is the Mexicans in Texas were born here! 😆🤠🛻
One day I hope I get a girlfriend that loves me like Scotty loves his toyotas
If you can handle her laughing at you all the time.
Get a dog guaranteed love
Get a girl MADE IN JAPAN....they can run a million kilometres
@@mikefoehr235 my girl was made in Canada. Fingers crossed 🤞
@Edwin Royal So was mine. She is a French Canadian. She loves wine 🍷, Pepsi and Poutine.
Go back to making truck's TRUCK'S. DON'T need all this crap. They are to cushy. Get back to bare bones work TRUCK'S. 50.000$ that's insane.
I agree, Get rid of the infotainment system, power windows and all the other creature comforts. I want it GUTTED.
Yep, I just traded my 16 Tacoma last summer for the new GMC Sierra elevation. Thought it would be a solid gm truck. The thing is embarrassingly junky..looks great drives like a 89 junk truck. Chevy shake and all. 40k truck made of trash.. already getting rid of it soon. As well for some reason kbb is attacking GMC now..last month my truck was valued at 31k trade in. This month with a thousand more miles, they are valuing it at 28k lmao, are you kidding me? In this market? My 2016 sr5 long bed I paid 27000 for out the door. I wanted to get that truck in a 2018 now, I'd be paying 35000. That's called over hyped thievery.
Hey I was made in Mexico and even though a little rusty I’m still kicking around lol Toyota for the win!!!
My 2013 Tacoma was made in Texas, My 2021 is made in Mexico. That sucks Toyota is moving the Tacoma plants to Mexico. We need them jobs here in America!

@@jaysmith179 I mean I may be ignorant but toyota is a Japanese company? They don't owe us work

My Tundra was made in Alabama and Indiana. It'll be 23 years old in July.
It's depressing that your truck is almost as old as I am and probably holding up better.
Yup. My 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.0L rwd gasser has 415k miles, never modified, and still ticking! New silverados will die at half of that! A damn shame US vehicles have died
@@Rurik_Luci Also depressing that I think of it as a rather new truck since I remember them rolling off the carriers new at the dealer.
@@ちくてぬしくけて the gm hd trucks are better built, no afm.
@@captinbeyond Mine just hit 270k miles. Just did the timing belt/water pump for the 2nd time.
Am a fan of Scotty and he is on par with all his videos. I have a 3rd generation Tacoma made in Mexico and it has the same quality as my dad's that was made in the US. Quality is definitely there for Toyota. They take pride in their work on manufacturing and remember auto components are shipped from different places.
I've had a Japan-made Impreza, and a newer US(Indiana) built Impreza, both hatchbacks (not wrx). Both are about the same quality, hard to really tell. I think it's neat to have a car made in Japan though.
Love my 2.7. I got it a couple weeks ago. I always turn on ECT power when I know I’m going to need some extra juice. It hits 75 pretty comfortably imo. These trucks are marathon runners not a sprinter.
I gotta admit, if I didnt get a killer deal on a TRD pro, I would have gotten a tacoma with the cast iron 2.7L. little fuckers run forever and are way easier to work on.
A guy in NC has over 1 million +200k on his tacoma 2.7 litre. Original engine i heard.
@@timfowler7031 He has 1.5M miles on the odometer now. Engine was replaced at 880K miles because it needed head gasket and transmission was replaced at 1.3M miles because it started slipping. Amazing.
I bought a 2017 with a 2.7 4 cyl. in it and it ran great. I never had a problem with it, but I traded it in for a 2021 four door with the 3.5 V6, because I wanted a truck that would pull a small camper trailer or a boat. But you're right, the four cyl. will get up and go with that ECT button.
My 2.7 sc with 4x4 and 33s is an absolute snail. Still won't sell it.
Best show on TH-cam without a Doubt!! God bless you and the 94 Celica that you rode in on Sir!
I have a 94 celica gt. Thing only has 138k . Sips gas. More then enough giddy up. This man knows his stuff. Thing is tougher then nails
Those 2.7 4 bangers will run forever!!
They’re great, we’ve got two in my family, one with 250k miles. Only problem thus far was replacing a/c condenser.
I have a 6 Tacoma with the 2.7 and it has 243,000 miles and I drive it to work and I trust it.
@@Popwarner-x1w nice name man!
Probably not these new ones.
Nice! That’s a great truck.
I remember when I bought my 4cyl '20 tacoma brand new, I was having serious buyers remorse (I'm so use to v8 trucks, I wasn't too happy with the lack of HP).
Funny thing is, I've since grown so attached to that lil truck, I couldn't imagine getting rid of it!
Heck even the dealership I bought it from offered over 30k to trade it in (bought it for 26k outright, after negotiating).
Who knows, maybe the same may happen to this guy lol you never know
I was in the same boat. I’ve kinda grown to love my taco, but I wish it had more power.
That 2.7 going to to last forever too😂
I recently got the 2022 SR5 four cylinder 2.7L and I find the power just fine. Came from a Ford 4.0L V6. I'm getting almost 30 mpg on highway, and 25 mpg overall. I live where the roads are flat.
The Government wants to talk about being Environmentally Friendly and we should all buy EVs. How Environmentally Friendly is it if you have to buy 10 EVs to last as long as 1 Tacoma?
They're full of 💩. The real reason is to keep you close to big cities. Electric doesn't have good range and stations will be non-existent outside of big cities.
@@binxthekitty54 The Hive cities are coming.
@@Rurik_Luci yup
@@binxthekitty54 why would they want to keep us close to big cities??
Governments have a terrible track record when they attempt to achieve goals. It’s almost like the people in charge don’t understand or care how their rules will play out in the real world.
I got my 19 tacoma TRD OR before inflation took off. Best decision I made. And love my truck.
Same here I got my TRD or access cab 6 speed stick in March of 2019. Not letting go of it.
I'm trying to convince my wife to get this Tacoma because I'm from Guanajuato and I'm still functioning after 40 years 😂😂
Best show on TH-cam hands down! God bless you Sir!
@That V8 Life Dumb statement!!!
For anyone who doesn't know, getting (25 to 26 MPG) in a 4x4 is damn good! You have two differencials and a transfercase. That is a lot of weight for a little truck like that.
There’s no way in hell he gets that, even with the 4 cylinder. I had the 3.5 for a while and averaged 17.5 mpg max. He probably glanced at the economy it displayed while coasting or on a few instances of light load and saw those numbers.
05 5.9 cummins 6 spd. 23 mpg exhaust/k&n
@@Terminxman Well, a 3.5L is a V-6. That Tacoma engine is a 4 cylinder 2.4L. So he's getting right at 25 to 26 MPG.
@@donnburge9774 Oh my God. That's damn good. I would have put that at 17 to 19 mpg.

Mexican manufacturing is something else. I've worked 20 years in the industry and there is a lot of dedication behind it. Mexican workers are not afraid to put on the extra hours to get the job done.
Really.
yes, this is true
I would never buy a car that was made in Mexico. A friend started to move her entire box and paper company to Mexico, but it was hard to find workers who would come on time. They liked to party.
Ok so let me get this straight.. you won’t buy a car in Mexico, because your “friend” box and paper company couldn’t find workers; therefore it correlated with the way manufacturing autos in Mexico all of a sudden is a no for you? I am baffled with how ignorant that sounds. Toyota has been the big auto giant in terms of reliability since the day it was created, the workers manufacturing these cars in Mexico are held at high standards you can’t base how one company runs their business to another.
@@johnappleseed9290 I live in a border state and the quality of all products that I have used from Mexico is bad. I have a refrigerator and a TV that do not line up. The produce, cookies and crackers are bad also. The poor are not educated. Mexico does not have a middle class. Hopefully, Toyota has culled the lazy workers like they did at the San Antonio truck plant. A coworker had at least six interviews. BTW, a friend has had Taco trucks for the last 25 years, and his new one is full of plastic and he said that it does not feel like a truck. A friend has a BMW, and it has been a money pit. I'll go with a truck or SUV made in America, Canada or Japan.
That has got to be the most beat up "new" truck I have seen in a while. It has 3600 miles on it and it looks like it has already been to hell.
It had to sneak over the border……..
Thought the same
I inherited my 11 trd taco when my dad passed. 4 years driving it and now I know why he loved it so much 😁
Sorry for your loss, Do enjoy that Taco for as long as you can... 🤙💪🔥🔥
That may be the best Tacoma ever. Never sell it. Sorry about your loss.
My brother got dad's 2001 Tacoma and it is still running like a champ.
It's going an ageless bird feeders that's for sure.
👍 Scotty for President!
Kale Yeah!
What does that mean in English?
@@vincedibona4687 English expression, meaning something will last forever. It's what the Toyota's brand is known for reliability and durability. The resell value on a well maintained Toyota vehicle holds its value very well.
I prefer a hot tub in the bed.
I was able to nab a 2018 SR5 V6 for $24k (40k miles) a couple years ago. I intend to keep her for life, but I just hope she doesn’t fall victim to Vermont rust & liberal policies like my last Taco.
Get it sprayed yearly with KROWN or FLUID FILM around $150/year to have a shop do it....well worth it. My 2014 went through 8 Salt Belt winters and had NO rust.
USA Government will not allow Toyota factory workers from Mexico to come here to train. So a work around must be put in place where American workers go to Mexico. Things are always lost in translation.
Getting training from Japan can be better, headquarters needs to wake up to resolve the issues from customers
The tacos are built better in Mexico compared to Japan, Scotty. Don't forget that! So are many other things.
Have you tried Japanese tacos recently? They're a delight.
I would like to reiterate that Mexico has many wonderful things coming from the hard work of it's indigenous peoples. Please be mindful of this and try not to insult the integrity of these employees and artisans who have dedicated such long hours toward the assembly of Toyota trucks and other items. They are not substandard because they are made or assembled in Mexico. That is blatant discriminatory language being used toward the wrong target. Instead look at the source, if Toyota were providing the best leadership, management, and training possible then maybe there would be less to poke fun at.
Why blame the laborers? That's just plain meanness.
@@user-fz2jk1vm1s I'm sorry I was just being facetious in my first response, but you are absolutely right.
Hard to compare when Tacomas have never been built in Japan…
@@user-fz2jk1vm1s My 2013 Tacoma was made in Texas, My 2021 is made in Mexico. That sucks Toyota is moving the Tacoma plants to Mexico. We need them jobs here in America!

He wants to get rid of that ASAP made in Mexico rubbish Toyota. I would rather drive a Nissan than that unless of course that Nissan's made in Mexico. If any of them are built in Japan that's the way to go
It's going to end up being sold to some person not knowing the previous owner got rid of it because he was having problems with it.
Anybody want to buy my Maverick?? Only has 2k miles, all for the low low price of $45,000!! ¡¡Hecho en Mexico!! ¡¡Que viva El Guapo!! 😆
Mr. Kilmer criticizes products made in Mexico by comparing them to products made in Japan. But that isn't the real choice. When vehicle manufacturers lower costs by moving production the choice is between countries like Mexico and China, not Japan. And products made in Mexico are far superior to products made in China.
True, also Tacoma has never been made in Japan. He must compare them to the ones made in CA or TX. Personally I haven't seen significant differences from let's say Tacomas or my Warren, Michigan made Ram compared to another one made in Saltillo, MX
@@luisinhoens90 It is much harder today for an automaker to produce an inferior vehicle between manufacturing locations. Used to be people built vehicles, now a lot of the process is automated and built by robots and people maintain the robots.
My Toyota Tacoma 2021 sr5 v6 I paid 33,000. The prices have gone way up. Not worth the price so if you can wait for the prices to come down and mine was made in USA 🇺🇸
My 2021 was made in USA too (Texas)
Will prices really come down when people buy $100K trucks nowadays? I think they may decide to produce fewer units and keep the prices inflated. I hope I’m wrong.
the government wants you to give up gas powered cars and meat.
it's no coincidence the price for both are currently through the roof
Yup. I say sod off to them.
Yes! I was at the grocery store staring down at meat because I wanted some but couldn't afford it and along came a gentleman who was doing the same thing and I said to him, "They sure are proud of their meat, aren't they?" He just nodded with a big yes.
Chicken still is cheap
Buying a new truck (depreciating asset) to build credit? 🤔
Just woke up now after watching Scotty first thing in the morning, his high energy is as good as a Cup of Joe.
Scotty, are you paid by Toyota? Or what other brands do you recommend?
He only recommend rust buckets like Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi. No turbos, no electronics - just slow, rusting boring cars without comfort. That includes Lexus
Bought a 2021 SR5 last year. Very disappointed in paint quality. I started getting rock chips within the first week. My wife’s 2009 Lexus GX seems to have much better paint, even with having 218,000 miles on it.
The paint is awful, I will second that. Lots of chips. I even have one from dropping the gas cap on the fender flare
I hope they move the factory to the US...
Yes the paint chip is something else , but other then that i love my tacoma , im thinking of getting repainted soon and vinyl wrap
Yeah the paint is shit...I have so many marks and scratches
Yeah same thing happened to me
The inline 4 motors might be "underpowered" to most, but it will far exceed the V6 engine in longevity.
As long as you don't tow on the 4-cylinder, it's fine for payload
It's also cast iron and port injected only.
I believe it's the only modern vehicle sold today with this tried and true combo.
yes sir
Not really Toyota V6s are bulletproof as well
It depends on how well you take care of the vehicle. I’ve seen V6 Toyota engines go to 300,000 miles without a single issue. They’re all solid. Now yes, the 4 cylinder is technically a more solid unit because it is cast iron. However they could both outlive you if you take sweet care of it!
I believe this truck has the back swinging rear "suicide doors" which open from an inside latch. So, there are back doors. My 2016 Tacoma access cab has them.
It does lol can't believe Scotty missed this
I've owned a third generation Tacoma and from what I've heard its the best model of Tacoma's ever made and I tend to agree with that statement. I've owned a 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport v6 4 x 4 4.o litre crew cab for years now and its been super reliable truck. I've never had an issue with it whatsoever and it's only got 120 thousand km's on it so far, its a nice truck! I've owned many Fords and Dodges and nothing measures up to the Tacoma. Mine was made in San Antonio, Texas, like I said, it's a good truck.
Scotty says stay away from that year and location
3rd gen the best? where you hear that lol. I even have a 3rd gen and know it’s not the best. 2nd gen best
1st gen is the fastest and way lighter.
@@erniecarrasco9107 Scotty said he prefers the San Antonio built Tacoma's, he didn't say that the 3rd gens made in Mexico were any less reliable...
@@skytechenterprise9906 Wrong. Scotty would never get a 4x4. That engine breaks a lot sooner than a none 4x4 and they are more expensive to maintain when they do start to get older.
With the new Tacoma trucks you want the 2.7L 4 cylinder, they are way more reliable than the new 3.5L v6. Toyota made a huge mistake getting rid of that rock solid 4.0L v6. That Tacoma is almost perfect with it's reliable 4 cylinder and 4 wheel drive, if he bought it with a manual transmission then it would be the perfect little truck.
True to be told for quality standards.... Hecho en Mexico is waaaay better that Made in the US. Mexican people take pride in their jobs and everything they do and those are values that many American have lost.
Psssh, don’t let the foolish Scotty gang hear ya! I’ll continue to support Ford, have two Fords with over 200,000 made in Mexico. Running like a dream.
Like Trump said, America first!
Scotty says Japan built is best and everyone knows that
Had this same engine on my 2006 and sold it just under 300k miles no issues. Love that 2.7 enjoy dude
I had the 2.7 in my 2003 same story 😎
If he wants a dedicated plow truck, he should go get an old k series Chevy, the old square body.
Used military square body. I had one and it was a tank for plowing
For real, I would think a Tacoma is a little too small for a plow truck.
I think a 4wd Tacoma V6 could push a plow, just not a huge one. Might help to throw some sandbags in the bed too and chains in some big snow
Sir, with all the respect, you do not know manufacturing nor automotive, working + 10 years in automotive I can confidently say that USA has the lowest quality standards of the plants I have been in, it’s a freaking jungle. Mexico wins customers as BMW, Tesla just because Mexico is one of the best when it comes to manufacturing.
I'll take this exact model with the 4 banger over all the midsized trucks out there, I just wish that it had a manual transmission!
It's a truck! I think all trucks should have a manual tranny option if not standard.
@@fujmon That’s going the way of the wind. Are you young? If so, I can almost guarantee you will think differently as you age. Driving a manual as a teen and in your 20’s is fun. You get into your 30’s and you just don’t care anymore. The “enjoyment” fades away.
I remember my brothers friend and our neighbor Steve getting one of the first hilux converted 4x4 in US . We took it deer hunting in Wisconsin and with three of us in front seat it literally didn’t have the power to get over small Wisconsin hills . We had to get out to push over hills . Good times
Can you describe more about the Wisconsin hills please?
🤣
Wow $33K for a 4 cylinder SR5 small cab is unbelievable. I paid $36 for my new 2018 TRD Off Road, long bed. Prices are out of control. And yes, last year I sold it to CarMax for more than a paid for it.
@@captinbeyond Those new Frontiers are sharp. I'd gladly take one over a 4 cyl Tacoma.
Dealers are charging $5,000 over MSRP these days. I bought a 2021 SR with the SX package just like this guys at Carmax for more. Trucks are crazy prices now.
Hey nice truck Scotty , but that sh** OEM battery will destroy your terminals, cables and hold down bracket. Get a AGM Battery like Optima (made Mexico like your tacoma) or Odyssey batteries to replace it with.
I luv my 22 Tacoma, I got the V6 4x4 Sr-5… so far all I’ve done is put a cap on, a brush guard & changed the oil. Paid $38K after ceramic coating.
is the interior and engine noisey like scottys test truck
That sounds great I'll bet there won't be any regrets long into the future either, Many happy driving years ahead to ya!
My son bought a 2015 Tacoma brand new, zero problems, best vehicle he has ever owned
I had a 13...it was best truck I ever owned.
My husband has a 2016 Toyota Tacoma,and he loves it,before we had 2001 f150 n that thing had one problem after another.
I’ve got a 2015 SR5 4x4. 115,000 miles, always done the prescribed maintenance, runs like the day I bought it. We’ll, maybe a little slower. For me, great truck.
@Steve Bobo PI lol what's that?
@@rockandrolf8611 comparing the reliability on a 2001 to a 2016 is like comparing a 20 y/o athlete to a 40 y/o overweight desk worker in a race. If the Tacoma was a 2001 the frame would have rusted out.
Friend of mine works at a Toyota dealership, told me they had a new tundra in for a broken turbo after the customer had it for a week....

> Decides the financially responsible thing to do is get a $33k truck
> Probably got a crappy rate

Some people never learn
I drive a tacoma for work. 4 cyclinder rear wheel drive. Very sluggish vehicle.
I bought a 2016 with the 3.5 when they came out, not sluggish if you are at 4000 rpm + but in a truck that’s awful. The auto also has two overdrives, in a 6 speed, so on the highway on the slightest grade it would have to drop two gears. I never saw higher than 17.5 mpg average even stock. That was lower than the 4runner with the 4.0 i regretfully traded. Now I have a base model f150 4x4 super crew with the 5.0 and get 19.5 avg and plenty of power
@@Terminxman i have a 2016 tacoma 4 cyclinder. . . And omg . . . Takes forever to get going. It also has this economy gas engine or something. Oh and i have a cap on the back with materials and tools so i feel like truck is working hard. It runs fine so far, knock wood.
@@Terminxman also I am not a car surgeon. I know nothing.
@@musicum22 I'm sure it'll run for 300k miles but it's not a good driving experience
Seems as though full size trucks have done much better than midsize in fuel savings. I wonder why that is.
The quality is on the designs and engineering. Mexcio just put that defective poor design together that's not on Mexico. Mexican labor is sometimes else they work their butts off.
I have a 2019 4 cylinder Taco for work. Have a 2022 TRD Taco for personal use. Love them both. The 22 was assembled in Mexico. Alignment was off from the day I purchased it. Dealership had to correct the issue.
I had the same thing. Alignment was off from the factory. 22’ TRD Sport
The v6 is not "thousands more" Scottie, if you get the utility package, the v6 is like $2500 more than the 4 cylinder
I have a 2017 Tacoma 6 cylinder with over 115k and I have ZERO issues! Great simple reliable trucks.
, ,
My 2013 Tacoma was made in Texas, My 2021 is made in Mexico. That sucks Toyota is moving the Tacoma plants to Mexico. We need them jobs here in America!
Imagine having a new toyota with the intention of downgrading to a ford
Yep at least they could buy something with the Cummins diesel if they want a big truck
Buying a Garbage like Toyota is a biggest downgrade in itself !
@@hotrod7603 Toyota garbage? First time ive ever heard anyone say that
@@glennbeadshaw727 Must have little man syndrome it you think a Tacoma isnt a big truck. Who can even afford to run a v8 for a day with current diesel prices anyway?
I loved when scotty got all giddy about the full frame lol
I'd rather walk than pay 33k for a 4 cyl with cloth seats.
That’s actually not bad. 2016 base Tacoma 4cyl’s with 60k miles are going for around $30k in California.
Two-thirds of Tacomas are made in Mexico.. the one I'm buying tomorrow is made in Mexico, not sorry.😅
Usually im getting like 16-18 mpg rocking the v6
Yup me too. 21-22 on da highway :)
I get 19 with my 2011 4.0V6 taco
Sorry, but that’s terrible MPGs! I get 15mpg in my 2019 F250 (crew cab long bed 4wd) with a 390hp V8 gas engine. My truck weighs 7,100 lbs and has well over 3,000lbs payload.
How are you getting such bad gas mileage in the v6? Are you carrying excess weight? Tons of stop and go? I’d have to accelerate fast from every stop to get that bad of gas mileage.
My friend has a 2019 F150 4wd with the 5.0 V8. He is getting 16 17 MPG. That sucks for a V6 to get that.
Has bad credit but still buys a brand new truck. 🤦♂️
Your the embodiment of every American craftsman that ever took the time to explain something for the love of the craft. Hats off to you Kilmer, men like you keep this country great.
Scottie is a great American.
The truck was 90% built by robots not people. Your arguments against where it’s built is irrelevant
I wasn't going to but certainly I will NOT being buying Toyota made in mexico🤣 -good job Toyota😐
Your loss. Still better quality then Chevy, dodge, or ford built anywhere
Mexico is stil higher quality than the US, just like with Volkswagen.
Also US cars made in Mexico are higher quality than US ones using mostly Mexican parts. The US is done manufacturing things, especially US electronics suck (why nobody makes/designs electronics in the US even almost all the electronics in US cars are designed in South Korea/Japan)
I've been considering one of these Tacoma's to replace my 20 year old ranger V6 3.0. Which runs the exact same since it was driven off the lot in 2001. I got lazy and stopped waxing it 5 years ago. Only major breakdown was the fuel pump and that was 2 years ago! Still has the original diff lube. These Tacoma's look like they will last for 30 years and give zero problems. The new ranger has too many electronics and the 2.3 turbo 4cyl seems like it would wear and give all sorts of problems.
I have a 2003 Ranger with the 3.0L Still runs like new. I just went on a 1000 mile road trip with no problems.
My 2001 Tacoma 4 Cylinder has over 200k miles and still runs like a clock
Same with my 2011, problem free 200k.
My cousin has a 2010 4 cylinder with 289k miles. It starts up like it just rolled off the lot. Paint in perfect condition. These trucks are solid man.
How are Toyota factories in Mexico inferior to USA? I would think Toyota would build their manufacturing plants to the same specs no matter where they're located.
@DevilDog53 Why would Toyota build their factory in Japan to a different/better spec than their other factories? If that's true, that's not a Mexico problem. That's a Toyota problem.
@DevilDog53 Prove it! These are assembled by machine, not hands. If the machines in a Mexico plant, aren't as good as the machines in a Japan plant, that's a Toyota problem! Even if what you say is true, that's STILL a Toyota problem. If they are so dedicated to excellence, why would they pawn off the work on somebody else to ruin their reputation?
@DevilDog53 Why would Toyota choose to have their product tainted by knowingly poor workmanship? They certainly do not give af about "excellence" if that's the case.
@DevilDog53 According to experts who analyze the reliability and quality of new cars, there is little to worry about if your car is made in Mexico.
“Looking at the data, we can separate between vehicles that are made in Mexico and sold in the US and those not made in Mexico,“ said Renee Stephens, Vice President of Auto Quality at J.D. Power. “When I look at the two groups, there’s no big disparity in terms of reliability and quality.”
@DevilDog53 Based on imperical data compiled by J.D. Power, you are WRONG!!
You are right that the Japanese are dedicated and hard working and committed to excellence, you are wrong that they would willingly/knowingly send production to people who are substandard and will taint their reputation. They simply would never do such a thing!
Glad that he got rid of that overpriced EcoBoost truck for a very well built dependable Toyota Tacoma.
"A very well built dependable "🤡🤡 that's why this gutless trashcoma is ranked 3 in overall dependability and reliability after the ranger , this isn't the same old Tacoma , you brainwashed toyota fangirls are literally the most cringiest!
There are so many 200k-300k+ mile Ecoboosts out there. If I could have snagged one for $11k with only 120k miles it would be a great buy from a sucker. Maintain them right and they'll run longer than most anything while making tons of power unlike this wimpy 2.7 Tacoma.
@@302Mustang13 But yet The Tundra with the 5.7L I-Force V8 will outlast it with ease just my 96 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 will.
@@CJColvinThat's only if the frame on the Tundra doesn't rust out. I've driven a 2008 Tundra with only 40,000 miles. It drove like junk.

I’m glad you did a review on the 2022 Tacoma. The only thing that would have made me happier with this video is if you’d reviewed my 2022 TRD Off Road, V6 with 6 speed manual transmission. I’ve got my own list of pros and cons. I also have a thick skin for criticism, so come on Scotty! I’d love to hear what you have to say about the heavier version of the truck.
Have a ‘05 Tacoma auto. 6 cyl. 4.0 with 208,000 runs perfect uses no oil.
I’m gonna drive it till wheels fall off, and then drive it some more!
overall gasoline is cleaner than Electric
no
It's no big secret that all the Tacomas are built in Mexico.
Thank you. I completely agree with you about EV's
I have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma with the V6 and I put a 7.5 Boss V-plow on it. I was very impressed at how well it did plowing. I traded a Ram 2500 Megacab for it so it is a lot smaller, but I was ok with that because plowing the driveways in my area with that Ram was like trying to maneuver an aircraft carrier! Besides, I didn’t need that much of a truck anymore. The only one to complain was my grandson who tell me on a regular basis he liked my Ram better. Oh well, you win some, you lose some! All that being said I absolutely love the Tacoma.
I sold my ram 1500 And bought a Tacoma my grandson like the ram better two, ( funny)
God bless the V6
I have bad credit so I’ll take out a loan for 30k, god help us!
Hey Scotty! You're the best and we all appreciate your videos!
I bought a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road and it was made in Baja Ensenada Mexico! It runs great but the dash pops and rattles horribly. I was also surprised it has rear drum brakes. No biggie I guess! It replaced a 2017 Frontier that was in a flood! The Tacoma is a so much better all around pickup! The turning radius on the Frontier was horrible. I couldn’t even turn out of the drive up bank without having to back up! No regrets on the Tacoma!
