@@ChloeKuoI saw your one vid bout touch up paint & you did an exquisite job but say you had a small dent on it & paint was chipped & it was a brand new car & cuase of ya insurance the dealer is chargimg $500 to fix it would you still use touch up paint or get it fixed out if curiosity & can you answer fast as you can im curious
Love that white tacoma trd pro! I just can't afford 1100 a month payment and that is without insurance. I'd rather keep my 3rd gen for now and travel the world.
Guess what? The 4th gen Tacoma especially this model series can take on 37" with little to no modification...hehehe. Of course, a lift, new shocks and struts would help with a bit of carving but still. It looks crazy awesome!
The shock adjuster is on the bad location. Sheet need to be relocated. If you go off road or live in a cold snowy place. That adjuster will be ruined due to the location being on a high hit points location.
For me, the small backseat in my third gen was too small for car seats. I had to scoot the passenger seat up to fit my oldest son’s front facing seat. When we had my second son, his rear facing seat took up even more room. I’m 6’2”, so the leg room I had with the seat all the way back was perfect, but with the car seats, I had to sit much further up. Ultimately, I ended up having to let it go and get a Tundra. I am a true blue Tacoma enthusiast, but they’re just not great if you’re taller and have to tow kiddos around in car seats.
@@jameskocks4734the 3.5 is fine. It had issues when new but they’ve all been worked out by 2020+ and it gets better gas mileage. Pushes 35s no problem just need gears
@@alexs825They didn't fix a darn thing. The drivetrain in my 2022 is terrible, but I knew it would suck when I bought it. Gears are a massive and very expensive upgrade - you can't expect people to do that. I got the OTT tune which made a big difference but there's still no low-end torque which is inexcusable in a truck.
@@DeuceDeuceBravo yea but they extended the wheelbase and made it wider with no travel increase. Already the truck is too long for off-road stock, lifting and 35s was really helpful to not turtle all the time. Imo gears are not expensive. Just most will put $3k of lights on their rig and not regear. It’s only a bit more than a front bumper these days. If you can do the labor it’s less than a grand. Most who complain about the 3.5L torque have their trucks severely overloaded which is your own fault. Should’ve known when going 1,000 pounds over payload. I’ve never needed more torque most the time just need lower gearing and this new gen doesn’t have a 4:1 transfer case option so not really gonna improve much. Maybe with the larger rear diff you can run something lower than 5.29s but will take 5 years probably for those to get released
Yeah I am not feeling a turbo 4 banger hybrid. That screams issues down the line, even for a reliable brand like Toyota. Wish they made a turbo v6 option
I paid $33k for my 2015 Pre-runner (after 3 hours of negotiating). It would have cost $5,000 more for the 4x4. I wasn't into off-roading back then, but I wish I got the 4x4. I'm definitely trading in to get the new Pro
Cool vid. I like the look of the Pro. I currently have a 21 Off-Road and this one is one I would probably go with. Yet, all depends on price and how badly the dealers with markups
My biggest drawback with this truck is the Turbo 4 banger hybrid. I know Toyota has been making engines for forever and they're very reliable so I'm not super concerned with the engine, however, when you add a turbo and a battery component it just adds to the inevitability of having big issues down the line. I know they're trying to please the EPA, but they really should have just put in a turbocharged V6. This truck just won't have the same reliability as the other generations so I'm hesitant on buying. Love the exterior though.
My thoughts exactly. Toyota uses the excuse of gas emissions. Nissan Frontier still has a V6 The Honda "Ridgeline" still has a V6 You can still get the Chevy "Colorado" with the V6. ( I do not know about the ford "Ranchero") 🤷🏼♀️ ? But I say , for sure, Toyota's excuse is pure *"Bull-💩💩💩"* !❕️!
@@icosthop9998well it's not bs. Nissan is going to be behind EPA with no data on turbo engines. This is the start of the Tacomas i4 turbo. Their other turbo CUV, SUVs have been proven to be fairly more reliable than it's competitor. NA is definitely easier to work on but knowing turbos enough especially modern ones, they can be reliable. My sister's i4 turbo accord has had 160k miles problem free. Regardless, the old v6 was gutless. You forget Toyota is conservative, so they aren't going to push power beyond engine limitations compared to other manufacturers
@@icosthop9998but if you want old school then buy other old school trucks. I'm definitely buying this TRD Pro, they did the new generation right to be a part of the future and not the past like Nissan especially if you're going to pay new car price. Makes no sense to pay 45k minimum on antique technology. I have no problem with Toyota and Honda Turbos.
@@icosthop9998Putting a 4-cylinder in a compact car or SUV makes sense but not in a truck. A truck needs enough horsepower/torque and displacement to carry cargo and pull a trailer without working the engine too hard. GM claimed that customers wouldn't miss the 6-cylinder gas engine or 4-cylinder diesel in the Canyon/Colorado because the 4-cylinder gas engine was supposed to produce similar horsepower/torque and get better fuel economy. The 2024 Tacoma only gets 24 MPG on the highway. In Australia, the Ford Ranger is available with a 3.0L V6 diesel that makes 443 LB-FT, 247 HP, and gets about 28 MPG. John at LHT Performance put the V8 and 6-speed automatic transmission from a 2020 Silverado into a 2020 Colorado and got about 28-30 MPG on the highway.

It's an amazing truck. I want a new tacoma. I had a 98 SR5 4x2, so nothing special and it wasn't a off-raod truck. I do have a 2020 Tundra as a daily/oveland, but I plan on buying the new Tacoma for my overland/offroad rig. When it comes to these new trucks, there isn't much room I guess for modifying or making it more unique huh?
Really nice ride the TRD PRO. The lack of back seat is somewhat of a deal breaker but I guess you have to sacrifice something to get something else. The one truck that I'm looking forward to is the new Ford Ranger Raptor with the 3.0 TTV6 more HP but a little less torque but looks like more back seat leg room for sure!!!
It's a nice truck no doubt about it. It's just to expensive and it won't last for ever. I honestly believe that the Nissan Frontiers/Titans are hands down better then Toyota now!! I just bought a 23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x for $34k out the door!
Wayyyyyyyyy better than the white in my opinion. The dark grey doesn't show all of the crazy new angles, corners and details. Like that way better. white shows it too much.
as i see more and more of the 24 trd pro i realize i made the best choice of getting the last 23 trd pro manual's the v6 will outlast these over strained 4 cyl i have not a single regret.
its a nice truck no doubt and i love the seats and other features. However its so over priced. I could take an SR5 tacoma and build it with better components and it will still be cheaper. Thats my gripe. My GMC is every bit as good as a an SLE and it was a base model
This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I'm not sure i would buy a Pro - i would probably just get the Offroad and upgrade the suspension. But I'm an old guy. 😄 I'm so tired of people complaining about the new drivetrain. Toyota has never made an unreliable drivetrain. I can't wait for the sweet, sweet low-end torque of the turbo!
It's going to be $60k+. Too rich for my blood for a mid-size. I went and sat in a TRD Off Road at my local dealership and it was very nice. But even it was $53k.
The V9 2024 Photon is more eqquiped than 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Toyota Tacoma TRD - PRO lacks of paddleshifts and doble moffler, I think that Toyota just want to sell too expensive and they do not care about what people think of Toyota's vehicles, that is why China's pickups and cars are being sold more than Toyotas cars, Ford's and Chevrolet's.
the fact that it has solid state battery in the portable speaker is some real attention to detail. they finally addressed it, i was wondering all along think it was a dumb idea
So many useless features that really does nothing except complicate things and give you more stuff that has a chance of failing. Then they proceed to charge 2x more for it all :/ It's a truck not a spaceship. I don't want or need something with 50 buttons.
Too many gadgets Give it 2 years out on the road. Sure looks like they left off 2 feet of bed. Nah I'll keep my 22 TRD. I do like the front end, otherwise its to geometric looking.
The Tacoma is my favourite truck at the moment with the styling and the new rear suspension combined with the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid powertrain standout features for me. With the availability of a manual transmission on some models a bonus for a small percentage of people. 😎👍🇦🇺
Your laughter & totally elevated stoke was so great 😂🤣 I’m not about the red seats, but for you (and especially since you have the channel), I’d say they’re a no brainer. Plus, you stand out against them. Very cool. I’m personally not about the hybrid, and I’m wary of the 1st year or two of any automaker’s releases, so I think I might stay away from this one. I’d be a Trailhunter (6 foot bed), but I do like the look of the Pro. I’m looking at a Tundra Limited w/the TRD package & lift. It just fits what I’ll be doing with it 90% of the time. Anyway, fantastic watch, and excited to roll your new baby into the garage & see what you do with it!
Smart 👌 like *"Scotty Kilmer"* always says, do not buy the first year of a new series. You are just a "Guinea Pig". Remember All the problems Toyota had with the 2022 new series twin turbo Tundra V6.
I love the the new Pro. I have a 21, I’ll notice if you get the ISO seats there’s no leg room in rear and if someone is in the back and hit your knee against the shocks it looks like some skin might come off 😢 not hating them they should have some kinda cover unless I didn’t see there is.
Get the best of the best if you do! I was debating between the trd offroad vs the pro. Went with the pro! If I’m taking out a loan for either or rather get what I want and the best.
Love this in-depth review! It’s a gorgeous truck! Love the new design, especially the white with the red interior! They really stepped up their game on the new ones! The TRD pro specs are awesome! Best looking midsize truck
@@sungyuri1983 they did not I’m assuming it will be around 57k plus TTL from everything I’ve seen on the Limited and so forth. I would assume the Trailer Hunter will be priced more than TRD Pro tbh due to set up and capability and more expensive components from the manufacturer tailored towards the true overland enthusiasts. I’ll keep you posted once I have pricing updates. It could be a year to get one even with limited production and inventory we’ll see what allocations look like. It looks like 2024’s are definitely starting to roll in AZ at least but who knows for the Pro/Trail Hunter what sort of inventory we’ll see in the first couple of years!
Majority of people looking to buy a tacoma trd pro or a tacoma trd off road aren't going to buy a tundra. You pay a premium for a capable offroad truck off the lot with 326hp and 465 ft lbs of torque.This is one of the most capable tacomas in every aspect they've ever made stock. Judging by these shows they even seem durable and reliable while extreme offroading. Rather replace a battery or turbo in 10 to 15 years than drive a weak gutless torqless v6 that could break too at some point. Nobody that's serious about offroading is buying 70k to 90k full size that's less capable as the trd pro tacoma. Wish the prices were better but man this is the best tacoma I've ever seen. I might wait for 2025 or 2026 model but I will test drive the trd pro tacoma and if it's as perfect as I think I'm going to buy it if the pricing works out for me. I was a fullsize truck guy myself even thought midsize trucks were inferior but I think the 2024 trd pro taco is better than the trd pro tundra. Probably more reliable too and better for offroading. We will see though.
I had the new 2023 tundra TRD pro ... that truck is a rattle box, EVERYTHING IN THE CABIN RATTLES, the issue with the front tire wear is well known, IE 4,000 MILES the front tires on the outside wore out, after two Toyota alignments. UsA made junk ! I went back to a 2023 new 4runner made in japan... I'll never buy another USA made Toyota again
What's the life expectancy of the battery for the Hybrid? Doesn't the turbo create issues such as: ECU errors; leaks in charge air ducts as some examples. I love Tacoma as I have the 2021 Pro but I have my doubts about this new version.
Nice truck, about time, but over 55k for a small truck and Toyota is insane... I rather get a 1500. Covid crap is over with..time to come down to earth price wise. Trucks are seating on the lots. Not to mention the interest rates .....That's a no for me dawg
My only issue with the newest gen Tacoma is the 4 cylinder block. The turbo charging gets the power up to where the v6 was or higher, but the long term durability feels like it will be lower with that block exposed to higher pressure and heat for longer than just having the v6. You see a huge number of the 4 cylinder turbo'd engines getting put on the used market at around 80k+ miles. Disproportionate to previous generations of the same car and or truck. I feel like, and can't prove as it's a gut feeling, that the 4cyl turbo'd truck engines will end up being drastically lower in reliability long-term. The new seats though.. gawd damn I want.
"Waste of time and money" I'll stick to my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport V6 3.5L, power seats with rear leaf springs and a 21.1 gas tank and rear window. The new 2024 Tacoma only has a 18.1 gas tank wich it means more gas stops on long trips. By the way leaf springs brings more stability and capacity load to a truck when towing and stronger (weather), suspension especially on the rust belt states. If I want to buy a sport car then I buy a Toyota Supra. Finally Turbo charge engine don't last as much as regular engines and they are way more expensive to maintain due to more mechanical parts involved.
Nice video. You didn't mention the OTHER ELEPHANTE in the room... pricing!! Normal people can't afford these trucks. Greedy dealer mark ups plus increased MSRP's = unaffordable.
I have a 23 TRD Pro. I wonder if Toyota is still making the new model with incandescent interior lights, no electronic tail gate lock, badly located bed tie down anchor points, no heated steering wheel, uncomfortable seats, and a ridiculously short travel telescoping steering wheel suitable only for people under 5'10". I see a lot of bells and whistles for marketing purposes, but I doubt they fixed or even understand what the real issues the truck has. The only way they could address the abysmal fuel economy was to put an overworked 4 cylinder in it. I'm getting about 16mpg in my '23. I had a 2000 Durango with a V8 that was getting 13. In 20+ years, with a smaller engine, Toyota only figured out how to get another 3mpg. Shock adjusting seats is marketing. The real question is can someone 6ft tall sit in that thing for more than an hour. I can't in my '23.
Hi Chloe you are my go-to expert for all things Tacoma. I wonder what advice you would give me as I'm considering a sport versus an off-road. I live in Hawaii not a lot of off-roading just some sand in a few mud puddles here. However it seems that both vehicles are priced relatively the same so I'm thinking even if just for resale value I should get the off-road. Most of my driving will be on the street Don't know which way to go. Any advice is appreciated
Pro or trail hunter! I really like them both but trail hunter would be a bit more practical. I wasn't even going to buy new but I like these trucks enough where I just might do it! The cost is not going to change with vehicles even though I don't like the price I figure this will be my last I will ever buy new.
I dont think most ppl understand what Toyota trying to build all these years. Their cars are for pure normal life pleasure... everyone complains about how expensive gas is and still complain about why it is a electric motor engine 😆. And how many of us buy an off road truck and really run off road with it 😅 if i can bargain to buy an TRD pro at 53-58k$ range. I would own one.... It is a nice, comfortable and practical truck.... and it is Toyota so it will last for years 😍
Where is this truck made? Has it always been Mexico or US? The made in Japan trucks are much better quality in my opinion, at least based on the Lexus LX and GX400, 4Runners and LCs.

the underground colorway might be the best for the trd pro
I’m a new subscriber to your channel are you able to do more videos on the new 2024 Land Cruiser please?
Guess what? The 4th gen Tacoma especially this model series can take on 37" with little to no modification...hehehe. Of course, a lift, new shocks and struts would help with a bit of carving but still. It looks crazy awesome!
Are the iso dynamic seats an option? That’s the only thing I don’t care for.
Everywhere I been looking shows the dynamic seats being part of the trd pro package.
No, all pros will have them. Cannot be deleted.
The shock adjuster is on the bad location. Sheet need to be relocated. If you go off road or live in a cold snowy place. That adjuster will be ruined due to the location being on a high hit points location.
In 1983 I paid $8,000 for my Mazda b2000. How does this cost more?
I would be absolutely shocked if I don't see you owning a (likely) 4th gen Tacoma or even 6th gen 4runner someday.
A lot of money for something that rusts! Engine and battery, too many things to maintain after it gets older, and parts are getting costly.

Stay the course. The kids aren't in seats forever

Personally, I'm glad Toyota slimmed down that awkwardly large grill for 2024. I do agree with keeping the V6 part though.
In 2006, I paid $26500. for a brand new Tacoma double cab, off road 4x4. Today, prices are stupid, simply not worth it.

Stick with your old reliable V6. Extreme redesign on cars doesn't turn out well, even with Toyota
Maybe you should just turbocharge your existing 6 cylinder Tacoma.

It's going to be $60k+. Too rich for my blood for a mid-size. I went and sat in a TRD Off Road at my local dealership and it was very nice. But even it was $53k.
I’m a digital media editor and the media screen is just what I need to hook up my MacBook Pro to do my video editing!!
The V9 2024 Photon is more eqquiped than 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Toyota Tacoma TRD - PRO lacks of paddleshifts and doble moffler, I think that Toyota just want to sell too expensive and they do not care about what people think of Toyota's vehicles, that is why China's pickups and cars are being sold more than Toyotas cars, Ford's and Chevrolet's.
I wouldn't buy anything with a 4 cylinder turbo engine.
the fact that it has solid state battery in the portable speaker is some real attention to detail. they finally addressed it, i was wondering all along think it was a dumb idea
So many useless features that really does nothing except complicate things and give you more stuff that has a chance of failing. Then they proceed to charge 2x more for it all :/
It's a truck not a spaceship. I don't want or need something with 50 buttons.
What’s the mark up for the pro 10K or more I bet especially in so cal. Too much marking up on these Gen 4 Wait till 2025 prices should drop 🤷🏽♂️
Too many gadgets
Give it 2 years out on the road. Sure looks like they left off 2 feet of bed. Nah I'll keep my 22 TRD. I do like the front end, otherwise its to geometric looking.
Looks like a miniture ford raptor. Pretty badass looking for a compact truck. I think Toyota nailed it on this refresh for sure.
The Tacoma is my favourite truck at the moment with the styling and the new rear suspension combined with the i-FORCE MAX Hybrid powertrain standout features for me. With the availability of a manual transmission on some models a bonus for a small percentage of people.
😎👍🇦🇺
No thanks! Love my 23' Offroad Taco! Turbos are overrated and will likely fail sooner than my NA V6!
You and I share the same truck and I do love it. I have to admit though that the 2024 version looks very good :)
What a truck, I would break the bank and get the grey one
I’d wait for Trump to come back, better rates and it gives them type to fix the problems. I want the Lexus GX 550
Yawn...white,grey,black,silver,red. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
@@AntilleanConfederation I'm looking at the GX 550 also....(always hated how they looked, but the new ones are almost there)
@@shootloadrepeat new one is a hella of a good jump forward. Shame it don’t have a v8 tho. New body plus v8 and it would be my dream suv
I remember doing a simulation ride on the hummer when they first came out. Almost felt like it was going to roll at one point in the course.
Your laughter & totally elevated stoke was so great 😂🤣 I’m not about the red seats, but for you (and especially since you have the channel), I’d say they’re a no brainer. Plus, you stand out against them. Very cool. I’m personally not about the hybrid, and I’m wary of the 1st year or two of any automaker’s releases, so I think I might stay away from this one. I’d be a Trailhunter (6 foot bed), but I do like the look of the Pro. I’m looking at a Tundra Limited w/the TRD package & lift. It just fits what I’ll be doing with it 90% of the time. Anyway, fantastic watch, and excited to roll your new baby into the garage & see what you do with it!
I wish Toyota would bring this experience to Tampa, Florida! We love Tacomas here too!
I like Tampa but wont want to live there, scared of red tide.
You guys only have flat lands and everything looks the same, so no.
Nobody for sure sitting in the back.
Best review of the PRD Pro ive seen.I really hope its not closer to 70k
It 100% will be 70k OTD easily. Possibly more.
Makes no sense to pay 70k, at that point buy a fully loaded tundra
Anyone know what the mileage numbers are for the new TRD Pro?
wait till 25' for any potential kinks to be worked out
Smart 👌 like *"Scotty Kilmer"* always says, do not buy the first year of a new series. You are just a "Guinea Pig".
Remember All the problems Toyota had with the 2022 new series twin turbo Tundra V6.
Too bad they wouldn't allow you to take your truck. That is all modified around that course with you driving your truck. 🤗
This, ranger raptor or zr2. As soon as prices are released on this trd pro ,Im making my decision.
Would they let you run your truck on the course with their professional driver? To see performance differences?
That would have been nice.
I want these seats for my 17 trd!! Question is will they fit🤔🤔
I love the the new Pro. I have a 21, I’ll notice if you get the ISO seats there’s no leg room in rear and if someone is in the back and hit your knee against the shocks it looks like some skin might come off 😢 not hating them they should have some kinda cover unless I didn’t see there is.
I’m worried about reliability engines pretty new and not tried
For the money. I’d rather buy a titan pro 4x and get wheels and tires and 2 inch lift and some 35”
. 👌
Too bad nissan is discontinuing the Titan.
Nobody is buying it but Nissan doesn't advertise it.
Do it and show us
Finally! You dropped it! Truck looks awesome with the black seats instead of the red. How did the exhaust sound?
It's a 4 cylinder. It sound like crap.
You must be living in 1980@@donm2255
Get the best of the best if you do! I was debating between the trd offroad vs the pro. Went with the pro! If I’m taking out a loan for either or rather get what I want and the best.
Living in Phoenix how did i miss this 😢
Great video and info on TRD model. Does this new TRD PRO model can handle 35s with stock lift without rubbing?
Love this in-depth review! It’s a gorgeous truck! Love the new design, especially the white with the red interior! They really stepped up their game on the new ones! The TRD pro specs are awesome! Best looking midsize truck
Are the seats powered in the TRD Pro with the shock absorbing seats?
Amazing truck. Pass on seats like that and red
I found a dealer doing MSRP on it no dealer ad ons im stoked! Putting my deposit down this week! The Pro is the way to go!
Yooo, what’s sweet! Did they tell you what MSRP was? Or nah
@@sungyuri1983 they did not I’m assuming it will be around 57k plus TTL from everything I’ve seen on the Limited and so forth. I would assume the Trailer Hunter will be priced more than TRD Pro tbh due to set up and capability and more expensive components from the manufacturer tailored towards the true overland enthusiasts. I’ll keep you posted once I have pricing updates. It could be a year to get one even with limited production and inventory we’ll see what allocations look like. It looks like 2024’s are definitely starting to roll in AZ at least but who knows for the Pro/Trail Hunter what sort of inventory we’ll see in the first couple of years!
Does the 2024 TRD Pro only comes in 3 colors (Terra, Ice Cap and Underground)?
I want the manual. I need all the storage I can get
I can’t wait to get my hands on one.
What tires do you have on your tacoma in this video? 285/75/16?
The pro looks amazing ❤
I’d get me a 2024 Toyota Camry XSE white with black top and red seats instead of the Tacoma
Not much off roading you can do in that thing 😂
@@adamrosenduft that’s my point. I have no desire to go off roading
$65k for a midsize with a 4 banger is definitely not worth it. I’d rather buy a full size.
True
You can get a Silverado for that price.
Majority of people looking to buy a tacoma trd pro or a tacoma trd off road aren't going to buy a tundra. You pay a premium for a capable offroad truck off the lot with 326hp and 465 ft lbs of torque.This is one of the most capable tacomas in every aspect they've ever made stock. Judging by these shows they even seem durable and reliable while extreme offroading. Rather replace a battery or turbo in 10 to 15 years than drive a weak gutless torqless v6 that could break too at some point. Nobody that's serious about offroading is buying 70k to 90k full size that's less capable as the trd pro tacoma. Wish the prices were better but man this is the best tacoma I've ever seen. I might wait for 2025 or 2026 model but I will test drive the trd pro tacoma and if it's as perfect as I think I'm going to buy it if the pricing works out for me. I was a fullsize truck guy myself even thought midsize trucks were inferior but I think the 2024 trd pro taco is better than the trd pro tundra. Probably more reliable too and better for offroading. We will see though.
Lets go brandon
People looking for a trd pro just want a toy, not an actual useful truck
@@awesomeerr8765 that's the thing, they've made the tacoma trd pro for a teenager with those isodynamic gimmicky seats.
Ah!!! I didn’t know this was happening!! I would have been there! Especially if I knew you were there! lol those 360 cameras are so awesome!!!!
Next year....
I hope you can find a TRD Pro when they finally come out
Nah. You’ve got the right truck already.
No thanks toyota I love my 3rd gen..
What is there left to mod on this thing?! It literally has everything and then some!
What is the price for the trd ?
I had the new 2023 tundra TRD pro ... that truck is a rattle box, EVERYTHING IN THE CABIN RATTLES, the issue with the front tire wear is well known, IE 4,000 MILES the front tires on the outside wore out, after two Toyota alignments. UsA made junk ! I went back to a 2023 new 4runner made in japan... I'll never buy another USA made Toyota again
What's the life expectancy of the battery for the Hybrid? Doesn't the turbo create issues such as: ECU errors; leaks in charge air ducts as some examples. I love Tacoma as I have the 2021 Pro but I have my doubts about this new version.
Nice truck, about time, but over 55k for a small truck and Toyota is insane... I rather get a 1500. Covid crap is over with..time to come down to earth price wise. Trucks are seating on the lots. Not to mention the interest rates .....That's a no for me dawg
Chloe, what do you think of silverados trailboss?
My only issue with the newest gen Tacoma is the 4 cylinder block. The turbo charging gets the power up to where the v6 was or higher, but the long term durability feels like it will be lower with that block exposed to higher pressure and heat for longer than just having the v6. You see a huge number of the 4 cylinder turbo'd engines getting put on the used market at around 80k+ miles. Disproportionate to previous generations of the same car and or truck. I feel like, and can't prove as it's a gut feeling, that the 4cyl turbo'd truck engines will end up being drastically lower in reliability long-term.
The new seats though.. gawd damn I want.
"Waste of time and money" I'll stick to my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport V6 3.5L, power seats with rear leaf springs and a 21.1 gas tank and rear window. The new 2024 Tacoma only has a 18.1 gas tank wich it means more gas stops on long trips. By the way leaf springs brings more stability and capacity load to a truck when towing and stronger (weather), suspension especially on the rust belt states. If I want to buy a sport car then I buy a Toyota Supra. Finally Turbo charge engine don't last as much as regular engines and they are way more expensive to maintain due to more mechanical parts involved.
Nice video. You didn't mention the OTHER ELEPHANTE in the room... pricing!! Normal people can't afford these trucks. Greedy dealer mark ups plus increased MSRP's = unaffordable.
Looks good but I’ll take the 4th gen
I have a 23 TRD Pro. I wonder if Toyota is still making the new model with incandescent interior lights, no electronic tail gate lock, badly located bed tie down anchor points, no heated steering wheel, uncomfortable seats, and a ridiculously short travel telescoping steering wheel suitable only for people under 5'10". I see a lot of bells and whistles for marketing purposes, but I doubt they fixed or even understand what the real issues the truck has.
The only way they could address the abysmal fuel economy was to put an overworked 4 cylinder in it. I'm getting about 16mpg in my '23. I had a 2000 Durango with a V8 that was getting 13. In 20+ years, with a smaller engine, Toyota only figured out how to get another 3mpg.
Shock adjusting seats is marketing. The real question is can someone 6ft tall sit in that thing for more than an hour. I can't in my '23.
Hi Chloe you are my go-to expert for all things Tacoma. I wonder what advice you would give me as I'm considering a sport versus an off-road. I live in Hawaii not a lot of off-roading just some sand in a few mud puddles here. However it seems that both vehicles are priced relatively the same so I'm thinking even if just for resale value I should get the off-road. Most of my driving will be on the street Don't know which way to go. Any advice is appreciated
Pro or trail hunter! I really like them both but trail hunter would be a bit more practical. I wasn't even going to buy new but I like these trucks enough where I just might do it! The cost is not going to change with vehicles even though I don't like the price I figure this will be my last I will ever buy new.
I dont think most ppl understand what Toyota trying to build all these years. Their cars are for pure normal life pleasure... everyone complains about how expensive gas is and still complain about why it is a electric motor engine 😆. And how many of us buy an off road truck and really run off road with it 😅 if i can bargain to buy an TRD pro at 53-58k$ range. I would own one.... It is a nice, comfortable and practical truck.... and it is Toyota so it will last for years 😍
Where is this truck made? Has it always been Mexico or US? The made in Japan trucks are much better quality in my opinion, at least based on the Lexus LX and GX400, 4Runners and LCs.
