The go to review guy when wanting to buy a Toyota vehicle... every Toyota dealership in the nation should pay you for doing such a great job with some enjoyable quirky humor 😂
Had a brush with Tito’s vodka and Fresca one night. Watched this, bought a ‘19 TRD OR the next day. And I freaking love it! This guy is bonkers and I want to hire him.
I've had my 2019 TRD off road for about 2 weeks now and I wish it had powered seats, a better quality backup camera, more room for my head since I'm quite tall. So far it's turning out to be a good truck.
That turning radius on such a long wheelbase is nice. I really hate four door short bed trucks. This Tacoma with a long bed may just sway me from getting another access cab!
TERRIFIC INFO - MUCH better than reading the manual! Last night - I bought a 2019 TRD Off Road /Calvary Blue with the Connivence PKG. My first Tacoma - thought about it for many years...I'm old but never too late. Nice job - great energy paired with useful info - rare combo.
Great review! Best one out there for this model, as far as "what all this Taco has got." Ours is about three weeks out. Got the manual to "have more fun, " as you say...Seriously stoked on what is coming our way soon.
The one thing I don't like about modern trucks it the dial controlled 4WD. Even in this video you could see it was a little cumbersome to use. With the old shift levers you didn't even need to look down while you were tossing around.
I freaking love your review and your humor "That's what she said" I dont care how old you are. I know you did it for the jokes. Will definitely come to Raleigh and pick up a Tacoma by summer. :D
Why did Toyota eliminate the left side box compartment....my 13 has it and I love it. I wish my truck had a locking tailgate. I also like my floor mats....they are secured in place with latches. Newer Tacos dont have that anymore.
What did you do with the head rest in the back seat, you must have forgot to show that, seance they removed the latch to lay foreword so you dont have to remove the head rest from the seat when you lower them,, It looks like they removed the grab handle on the driver side, and the sliders for the visors, It also looks like they removed the front bed rail and a storage compartment in the bed, And no more LED tail lights, If they keep removing things there wont be any truck left, Im sure the power plug in the bed will be next,, You know the little things is what made the Tacoma stand out over the rest,, I would miss my 2013 for those reasons, So i will just wait and maybe they will bring back the hole truck,, It seems now theirs not much differences between the other trucks any more..
Toyota Racing Development is known for making great cars! And so far, the Camry TRD and Tacoma TRD are my favorite! P.S. I heard of a Corolla TRD! That'd be so cool
Master Baiter Super cool and thanks! I promise I won’t forget your name man haha....please feel free to comment on any and all videos I do. I encourage all thoughts and opinions here...as you saw, I even leave up all the negative comments too :) jeff
Yes that is the question isn't it? I'm in the market for a mid size and decided to finally test drive a Taco. So firstly, the professional reviewers have stated a few cons for the Taco. First, that its under powered by the new 3.5 mated to a horrid 6 speed automatic that can't seem to find the right gear. Second, no power seats no matter what trim level you buy. And third, worst back seat leg room and least amount of space. So now I'll tell you my impressions. I am pretty much ready to buy the upcoming Ford Ranger. I owned one overseas and IMO, this will be the one to beat coming early next year. But Tacos are number one and resale is insane. So I forced myself to the toy dealer to see. I did not really want to test drive it being I knew I would not buy it. The manager insisted. I did like a white limited and that is the one we drove. Test vehicle was pretty much loaded. Over 40K dollars and no, it did not have power seats. That is pretty much inexcusable at this price point. And I told them so. I did not sit in the back sit but my wife did. She is all of 120 lbs 5'4". And she complained that it was cramped with not enough space/leg room. I'm like freaking really? I did not even try to climb back there. So driving I drove along a frontage road alongside I25 so I got it up to around 50 MPH. I am sad to report that this truck is truly gutless. Hit the gas and it slowly pulls. The ride is nice and I liked the interior layout. Once I was at speed the gears were indeed shifting up/down. And I was not even on hilly terrain. Plus the shift points were not very smooth. This in short, is a garbage transmission. Worst engine/trans tune I've ever seen. I really did not expect it to be that bad. I figured reviewers will like to nit pick bla bla bla and I would find it tolerable. After all, this is the leading truck. OMG, its MUCH worse then I thought. I mean once I pulled out on the frontage road it was 10 seconds and I knew this truck was a no go. Sales guy just said take the next right and we went right back. He knew. Anyway, the what people say is totally true. This truck is old tech. Overpriced and sells on name alone at this point. The Ranger I'm expecting will destroy this and become the leading truck in its class.
So.....nothing has changed from the 2018!?! I have a 2018 Tacoma Off Road and love it, but this is EXACTLY the same. Why do they stick with those wheels?!? Pretty much everyone wants black wheels, not black and silver. Come on Toyota!!! Also, auto headlights, folding mirrors, some sort of home link system in the mirror (just to name a few things) would make this truck so much better.
JC I was thinking that same thing about adding homelink when I was doing the review. Even something like that would’ve been a nice gesture. Thanks for watching men
I don’t have a good answer for you right now. The trucks and cars are use belong to my dealership and then they belong to the people who buy them. It will be challenging to have that allowed to take them off-roaring.
Kevin James then don’t buy a truck! If you’re worried about MPG, buy a Prius. Trucks are for truck people, doing truck things. These comments remind me of how this country has gone soft as hell.
I own an 18 and this guy is too positive, it's under powered, unresponsive and handles terribly on road. Seats too low in the rear making it impossible to get comfortable, if u are comfortable u can't reach the steering wheel bc telescoping is less than an inch and ur shins will be snapped in an accident. Front USB isnt fast charge, the 18 doesn't have the 2 fast charge USB added as an afterthought as the 19. Overall great truck but has MAJOR shortcomings and that's y they are piling up on used market almost new. Unfortunately its gonna kill my resell, the reason I bought it. Mine is a manual trans short bed offroad. Also note that he removed the rear headrests b4 he folded rear seat down

Bought this exact truck yesterday. Color, trim and all. Thanks Jeff for a great review and a persuasion to get this incredible vehicle
I just bought a 2019 Tacoma 4x4 off road 😘 I can't wait for tomorrow for some fun ride!
Had a brush with Tito’s vodka and Fresca one night. Watched this, bought a ‘19 TRD OR the next day. And I freaking love it! This guy is bonkers and I want to hire him.
Spartan Swerve LOL that’s amazing
Just got mine last week!!! Absolutely love it!! I got my windows tinted and and swapped out the stock grill for the TRD pro grill...💪
“That’s what she said” 😂 I’m dying of laughter
I wish I could buy a Tacoma from you. You make these reviews fun and I actually remember what you say 👍🏼 Keep up the good videos
I’m just here for the Cocaine fueled reviews 😏
haha congrats that made me laugh! Jeff
LMAO

I’m 6’0.. zero problems.
Bought the same model today. Can’t wait to drive it! Your reviews are always great and definitely informative and humorous at times!
Just got mine yesterday :) absolutely love it
That's awesome!!! jeff
Excellent video! Like the color of the Tacoma. I like the crawl control feature on the Off Road.
Man I’m from DC and if I were in the market, I’d consider heading down to NC. You’re an awesome salesman!
Toyota makes the Tacoma crew cab long bed in a TRD off-road. It used to to only be in the sport. Hmm I’ll have to check it out.
That turning radius on such a long wheelbase is nice. I really hate four door short bed trucks. This Tacoma with a long bed may just sway me from getting another access cab!

Neil Stinson thanks Neil! Have a great one...jeff
I’m holding you to this million mile claim. If my 3rd gen truck doesn’t get it I expect a check 😂
Oh dang it haha. I’m gonna be on the hook for a lot of money. Make sure you keep up with your maintenance ha ha
When are you going to review the 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro?
Great review! Best one out there for this model, as far as "what all this Taco has got." Ours is about three weeks out. Got the manual to "have more fun, " as you say...Seriously stoked on what is coming our way soon.
I’d like this truck with a manual. Makes it as cheap as a 4wd auto Sr. And you get a whole lot more with this
The one thing I don't like about modern trucks it the dial controlled 4WD. Even in this video you could see it was a little cumbersome to use. With the old shift levers you didn't even need to look down while you were tossing around.
I freaking love your review and your humor "That's what she said" I dont care how old you are. I know you did it for the jokes. Will definitely come to Raleigh and pick up a Tacoma by summer. :D
Can you do a driving video of a manual?
Gotta have 1 of these
Why did Toyota eliminate the left side box compartment....my 13 has it and I love it. I wish my truck had a locking tailgate. I also like my floor mats....they are secured in place with latches. Newer Tacos dont have that anymore.
Whats the deal with removing the head rests when folding down seats for cargo? Do they have to be removed to fold them down?
What did you do with the head rest in the back seat, you must have forgot to show that, seance they removed the latch to lay foreword so you dont have to remove the head rest from the seat when you lower them,, It looks like they removed the grab handle on the driver side, and the sliders for the visors, It also looks like they removed the front bed rail and a storage compartment in the bed, And no more LED tail lights, If they keep removing things there wont be any truck left, Im sure the power plug in the bed will be next,, You know the little things is what made the Tacoma stand out over the rest,, I would miss my 2013 for those reasons, So i will just wait and maybe they will bring back the hole truck,, It seems now theirs not much differences between the other trucks any more..

What do you prefer the long bed or short bed ?
Jeff, Did you get a Golden Globe nomination today?
Right Lane Hog Yes for dumbest sense of humor for an Internet personality haha
@@Toyotajeff Oscars are nothin' that's what I say.
Tbe weather sucks down here at oak island nc
When does the new RAV4 arrive?
Very very soon! As in this month!
What has the best road ride the sport or the off road?
Great video man, you got a new sub
Master Baiter Super cool and thanks! I promise I won’t forget your name man haha....please feel free to comment on any and all videos I do. I encourage all thoughts and opinions here...as you saw, I even leave up all the negative comments too :) jeff
That’s what she said!!! 🤣 that did if for me 😂 😂 🤣 🤣
Hey Jeff, those double USB ports are not standard on all 2019 Tacoma’s? I’m looking to buy a Tacoma 🤔🤔
Eddie Alvarez no not standard in the back seat area if that’s what you mean. They are optional
love the review! i want a TACO
I wish I could afford one
Please review sequoia sport. thanks
youre reviews are the best dont forget about me when you have 1 million subsribers
Andrew I won’t forget where I came from I promise! I’m just focusing on bringing great videos consistently. And my original goal of 10k subscribers :)
How's the transmission? Does it seem to shift to much?
Yes that is the question isn't it? I'm in the market for a mid size and decided to finally test drive a Taco. So firstly, the professional reviewers have stated a few cons for the Taco.

Why won’t they add under hood insulation??? Come on Toyota !!!!..........
drchulo76 seems logical to me...jeff
Helps with engine longevity. Power seats are cool too.
How??
How??
How??
No LED headlights? Nissan frontier has more torque!
James Hart also has two thirds the resale
The 2020 Tacoma TRD Sport/Off Road & Pro have the LED headlights now.
So.....nothing has changed from the 2018!?! I have a 2018 Tacoma Off Road and love it, but this is EXACTLY the same. Why do they stick with those wheels?!? Pretty much everyone wants black wheels, not black and silver. Come on Toyota!!!

Dad jokes for days!~
Bed is too long for off roading!
When will you "off-road review" no just review the off road?
Not*
Great question Juan!
I don’t have a good answer for you right now. The trucks and cars are use belong to my dealership and then they belong to the people who buy them. It will be challenging to have that allowed to take them off-roaring.
I will be having a video come out that will show some off-road capabilities....already filmed. Just need to edit it
I wish it bad better gas mileage
Kevin James then don’t buy a truck! If you’re worried about MPG, buy a Prius. Trucks are for truck people, doing truck things. These comments remind me of how this country has gone soft as hell.
That's what she said 😂😂😂
Chevy all day, box frame and a diesel.
