I like the truck but not so much on the color. Here’s a fun fact: the 1979 Toyota 4x4, ( first year in the U.S.) I had was about $7,100. 😳 Before there was a V6, extended cab, TRD, and a lot more. Thanks for sharing it Joe and nice job Steven! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I had an 81' 4x4, 4 cyl.......price was 10K Canadian.........truck went all the way til 2011, when the frame cracked in half..... where i got the tacoma and only manuals.
And all the stuff he's asking for (connectivity in the back seat, better door handles, improved backup camera) is why trucks cost 70k today! Leave it alone! Just my opinion, I dont need a spaceship
$46,000 (😳) is a hard pill to swallow, especially with rear drum brakes, no keyless start, etc. For about $43,000 you can get a fairly loaded Ford Ranger 4x4 with 310 ft/lbs of torque
@@ryanoliver5669 dude it’s a TRD pro for a reason. F the color it could be purple, its not hurting the resale. Toyota is best in the industry in that area
lol the ranger will rust at the junkyard while the tacoma will just get its regular maintenance.You pay 43k for the rock solid reliability and durability.This is a very durable truck and nothing come close to it in that department.
It's Taco Monday On Throttle Tiiiiiiiime!!! This is awesome 👌 👏 Toyota reliability AAAANNNNND a manual transmission!!! Interior begging for an upgrade aside, what's not to love. You want a truck to do truck things? This. Is. It. Maximum respect for the Taco review here Joe and Lori and Steven!!! Y'all are the best!!!
I had a 22 manual. This engine is terrible, gearing doesn’t make sense and clutch actuation is sloppy. Traded it in for a 4Runner, the 4.0 is what should have been in this truck.
Absolutely love the fact that you send it with every vehicle you review 🤣. Had a 6 speed 3rd gen Tacoma before and loved it. However, I ended up trading it in for a WRB 21' STI and havent looked back
There’s some good competition in this midsize truck segment… But none that’ll last as long or have the resale value as this beautiful Tacoma…. Toyota definitely needs a redesign they can keep the power train but we need a redesign for sure !! Great work again joe and team !!
@@alpe6228 nope. Torque doesnt come in until 3500 RPM, trucks need torque lower, 5th gear and 6th gear are to close together, 1st and 2nd are to far apart. And the fact you cant get it factory with a trailer brake controller doesn’t help it either or get the drivetrain in a long bed
Toyota has been kicking everyone's butt in the midsize truck segment. A terrific color, a very sporty configuration. Various people on TH-cam keep predicting doom for Toyota because they are taking so long to come out with electric vehicles. But they are steadily improving their product line, and i see no major problems here. Hard to believe that a midsize truck is going to be around $50k out the door. What happened to "low price" Toyota?
I bet the 2024 Toyota Tacoma from Toyota will be WAY DIFFERENT kinda like the back of the Toyota Tundra. 🤔 I wonder why Toyota put a 6 speed manual transmission in the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO instead of the Automatic Transmission?
The profit margin that Toyota must have on this truck.... Only one back seat pouch etc etc🤣 No end to the nickel and diming... Toyota laughing all the way to the bank.
I'm loving the fact that Toyota did a good job on the Tacoma TRD Pro and I think It's the Apostle of the pickup truck and the incandescent bulbs are growing but the interior isn't the most modern.
Save the $7k and get the off road. No stupid hood scoop and you can always upgrade the suspension if you think you need it. I think the Off Road is the better value.
I love the hood scoop but wish it was functional and off road is the better way to go indeed. For the pro if they would’ve upgraded the power numbers it definitely would’ve been better to entice more buyers that’s why for me I didn’t go with the pro model
I started a Facebook group for M/T tacoma owners only. I bought one new in 2018. Worst powertrain Ive ever driven, even with the stick, 5 and 6th are so close is basically a 5 speed with 2 OD’s. Zero low end torque,
@@davidr6865 I do miss it tho, it was just impractical as a truck. No towing, no payload, no bed space, and no interior space. Im 6’3. My head hit the roof without a sunroof in my 2018. Now I have a 21 7.3 super duty. 5K more than a Tacoma and Triple the capability
I got a 2001 Toyota Sequoia with the legendary 4.7 v8 I always say I’m getting a manual Tacoma whenever my sequoia brakes down beyond repair..problem is they simply don’t break so I’m guessing I will stay with my sequoia.
The reason why Toyota only put on the one rigid fogs at the bottom is because of the lift on the stock TRD Pro, that way they don’t have to worry about the no more than 30” max height for some state laws with fog lights.
Never heard you laugh so much in any of your other reviews. MT is definitely a fun driving experience, especially off road. Hope the still make a MT version when I’m in the market for a new truck in a couple years.
The Toyota Tacoma is not equivalent to it's price. The interior design has fewer new things, wish they could have more new upgrades compared to this one.
At the end of next year, this will be redesigned with 4-bangers all over the place, so if you want a six-pot, its now or never. I have no interest in turbo-4-banging. A manual 6-speed Taco. There is no substitute.
I had a 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport Manual for 2 months. I hatedddddd it. The transmission was so clunky. (I am a lifelong manual driver). First gear was horribly short and hard to get into. There are so many nanny’s on the clutch and throttle. Go with the automatic.
Yes, m/t uses a key and a/t is push button start. The m/t has a clutch start cancel switch so you start it in gear without rolling backwards if the need arises. It also does not have Multi Terrain Select or Crawl Control but it does have a switch to select Active Traction Control (A-Trac).
Got a 20 trd pro. It's loaded and perfect for what I need. Price hurt but what isn't expensive. And a lifetime power train warranty if I have them Do oil changes every 10k. Sold. This is going to mybson and I will definitely buy another as long as they don't change.
I found a manual 2022.. I've been searching for a review like this..only issue is I think the dealership wants too much, especially since it has a lil bit of body work...they want $37 k an it has 12k miles
For goodness sakesToyota, your 20 to 25 year old compact trucks with a manual transmission and manual locking 4 wheel drives are selling for around $20,000, with a range of $17,000 to $27,000 with a lift. And these have over 200,000 miles on them and they still sell on the used market like hotcakes. That clearly indicates there's a strong market for them. Why not bring them back as brand new? I love manual transmissions and I WILL NOT buy anything that doesn't have one. Why in the world did you stop making those little trucks? The ones you make now are nice, but they're way too big. I don't want a double cab. I want the small compact truck that you made in the mid to late 90s and early to mid 2000s. Please bring them back!!!!
This truck is unstoppable in the mountains, and the manual transmission is sooo nice to have, but no rear disc brakes??? Whoever made that decision needs to be fired.
when you guys think that toyota is going to change to a new gen? 2023/2024? i do not wanna scrub it change it right now, and them toyota change to a new gen...
Thanks for another great review. Just bought a 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport!
Congrats Gary! I appreciate the extra support!
I didn't know there was a manual version of the Tacoma. Even when some parts look/are dated it is still an incredible truck.
Lol. The manual Tacoma came
out before the automatic. 🤷
That's the only way to rock-crawl tbh.
I have a TRD off road manual, changes the rear from 3.90 to 4.30
@@bradjessee9022 I didn't know that the Off Road came in manual
After 2016, only the TRD models are offered in a manual. SR and SR5 are only available in automatic.
Long throws in any manual are orgasmic. I love the engaging feeling.
You're a menace to society joe 🤣🤣 that burnout was hilarious lmao
Like the truck but it needs the I ForceMax Twin Turbo engine and a 10 spd automatic and 15 in infotainment and push button 4wd
Toyota would sell more of these if dealers actually ordered them with the manual. I wish the 4 runner was offered with the manual as well.
Haven t seen Joe go on throttle this much on other vehicles. Nice to see him enjoying himself so much in such a vanilla vehicle.
Thanks for letting me share the ON THROTTLE action with you!
it's so tough to find a manual these days. I'm loving it!
I have a 2021 off-road manual and I love it. Even thinking of purchasing at the end of the lease. Manual Taco’s forever
“Millennial anti theft device “ too funny! 😂
So true 😂I'm glad my '12 is manual 😎🤘🏾
What only none car people are idiots not knowing manual thats just disapointing
That's what this old lady is thinking! The young ones just can't do it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My 2002 Mazda is a manual 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve been looking for another one that’s why I’m here

Truck of my dreams! Manual transmission, color, Toyota! Perfection! GREAT JOB JOE!
Dream, big!
The Manuel transmission is the best transmission and it’s fuel efficient
God gave us two feet; one to operate the gas or brake pedal and the other to operate the clutch.
Automatics are now more efficient than manual.
@@BMW_Z4idiot yea but we use the Right foot for the clutch
No one buys the manual in the Taco for efficiency, its SPG- smiles per gallon
@@trdrav4 your wrong Manuel Transmission are more fuel efficient
Avocado taco ! Lol
👍
Thanks Joe…..I’m kind of liking the frontier more.
Everyone has their favorites for sure!
Looked online today. A local Toyota dealer in Phoenix was asking $84,127 for a 2022 Tacoma TRD PRO. Absolutely ridiculous.
$46,000 (😳) is a hard pill to swallow, especially with rear drum brakes, no keyless start, etc.
For about $43,000 you can get a fairly loaded Ford Ranger 4x4 with 310 ft/lbs of torque
Sure but that wont keep the resale value nor the reliability of the Tacoma
@@nikkibaby111309 the color is going to hurt it's resale value lol
@@ryanoliver5669 dude it’s a TRD pro for a reason. F the color it could be purple, its not hurting the resale. Toyota is best in the industry in that area
lol the ranger will rust at the junkyard while the tacoma will just get its regular maintenance.You pay 43k for the rock solid reliability and durability.This is a very durable truck and nothing come close to it in that department.
lol with greedy dealers, that truck is more so like $55K
That Manual looks like alot of fun! definitely raised the level...
An M/T option is so vital for some enthusiasts, Good strategy by Toyota for being the only mid-sized truck with a stick
those sells like crazy for a reason.Simple, no useless gadgets,rock solid reliability and durability.Id pay 43k for it anyday of the week.
Jeep Gladiator pickup also has a MT option
Millenial anti-theft device 🤣🤣
I hope for the next generation model Toyota gives us this awesome color and the 6 speed manual
this colour is already discontinued for 2023 and its pretty much confirmed there will be no more manual trans for next gen
😎
With dealer fees and taxes. you could probably add up to $10,000 to that price easily
