seeing it go the way of the new tundra
It might, but it might not too. They're not the same engines, but only time will tell. Thanks for watching.
I'm going to hang on to my 2023 Tacoma for a few years... I am sure the new Tacoma will be fine, but I'll let other people work out all the problems first. I test drove a 2024 SR5 for fun. They are really nice, but the 2023 is still really nice too. Enjoy the new ride!
Thanks and that totally makes sense. It is a great truck and we almost went that way last fall. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’ve got a 21 Trd OR, I’m going to wait at minimum until the 2025’s come out. Plus I want you to see what the next Gen Honda Ridgeline is like. I wish Subaru would make an Ascent Wilderness Truck!
Thanks for watching and commenting, yeah there are a lot of good choices now and hopefully more coming! The Ridgeline is a great everyday driver for sure!
@@BenInBeta I’m hoping Honda uses their 2.0 Turbo plus Hybrid for the next gen Ridgeline!
Exactly!
I waited for 2026 models tacos to come. It will fix lots of things
That's totally fair, but I'm not willing to wait for 2 more years and the issues I have had are software that the Tundra has also had an that's been out since 2022 with the same tech setup.
Congrats on your new rig. Glad you were able to avoid all the ridiculous mark ups.
Thanks for watching and commenting! If you use the spreadsheet on Tacoma4g, as long as it keeps working anyway, anyone should be able to find one. There is also someone on that forum selling Tacos anywhere in the US for $2700 under MSRP, with shipping that's probably still MSRP, but if you can get it local to where it's being sold you could save even more! I feel bad for people stuck where it's several hundred miles to another dealer and they don't really have much choice. But other than that, if no one paid the ADMs then dealers wouldn't add them. There will be some people paying a big ADM for a Trailhunter or Pro though!
first clue, if using an app for your vehicles functions . something more wrong than touched on
I appreciate the watch, but I don't understand your comment.
I want seat covers for my 24 tacoma but cant find any ones that say they fit the 24
Hopefully if anyone knows of any they'll comment here. I'd also check on the Tacoma4g and Tacoma world forums. Thanks for watching and good luck finding some!
Hello again. I too had a Ranger for 13 years! My "upgrade" was my ZR2. Your Tacoma looks great! I look forward to more videos of what you do with it. Keep them coming!
Thanks Jay! There will be a lot. Anything you're particularly curious about?
how do you like the zr2
Hey Ben, great content and thanks for the videos. So far I like the stuff you have done on the Tacoma and what you have planned. The snow ride should be great and I am looking forward to the new tires video. Keep up the good work and I will make some suggestion after watching a couple more videos. More content faster, just kidding I know it takes time to create the content.
Thanks I appreciate that. It's hard to get stuff out while working full time too. I'll keep doing my best! Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm planning a livestream for next week so if you want to ask some questions then or before hand feel free and I'll do my best to answer those!
Best color on any Toyota.
Thanks. I do like it a lot, Bronze Oxide was the other color I really liked. They're all pro good though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video. You're the first I've seen that's really talking about the little details that matter to me (and I've watched a lot of these videos). I have a TRD OR on order (celestial silver for the win, although I'm going with the 6' bed) with the upgrade package (not the premium). I'm also planning to build it out for overlanding. I had a '99 Ford Ranger for 17 years before buying my current '16 GMC Canyon, so we have much in common.
Reading the owner's manual I notice the 400w AC only puts out full power in neutral or park. When the truck is in drive it's limited to 100w, which is going to be frustrating. I'm curious if that's how it actually works. I was initially excited since I thought I could charge my EcoFlow while driving but it appears it's no better than using the cig lighter power.
As for Android Auto, I'm assuming you're using it in wireless mode? I'm curious if it is more reliable when wired, but then another frustrating thing is that it appears the only connectivity is the port on the side of the screen, which means a cord hanging down from the dash. The other USB C ports appear to only be for charging. Again, that seems like a poor choice. Is there another data port anywhere, say in the center storage console?
And one last thing. The three accessory switches. The manual shows where the ends are located but I'm curious if there's a pre-installed plug w/wires that you can splice into or if we're going to have to try and find the proper connector somewhere else?
Subscribed and looking forward to future updates!
We do have a lot in common. I currently have a River 2 Max that I will run tests on. It's pretty small and I do know there was a way to override that limit on the 23s. I'm planning on a bigger battery, but I'm actually concerned it won't even charge through that outlet as the older versions of that 400 watt outlet were not pure sign wave and and batteries would shut off even when you did stay in park. So we'll see. I think the hybrid will be different because of the 2400 watt inverter though.
The only data USB-C is that one on the side. In every other vehicle I have had, since like 2013, being plugged in was generally very solid and had no issues. I can try that too, and might rely on that while overlanding if I don't need that port to charge other things.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing! I'm planning a live stream for next week feel free to ask questions live or hear beforehand!
Thanks for such great content, it’s always so helpful. I had a ‘98 Ranger for 253K miles and really miss it. I ordered a 2024 TRD PreRunner in Celestial Silver but so far only 5 (seriously, FIVE!) have been built to date and there’s no ETA from my dealer. I really want a 6 foot bed so may have to go with the SR5 instead. Kind of frustrating to say the least.
That's a cool truck if you can get one. They are very rare right now for sure. I hope you end up with what you want! Thank you for watching commenting.
Ya I use to have Rangers too!, but they never made 4 dr so went to Tacoma! Also found out how great Tacoma resale is compared to the 3 Rangers I had! Wow what a difference! Love my 2020 TRD OR prem. my 08 TRD OR was great truck too with no issues.The Toyota app on my phone doesn't open or start truck unless I press Botton on app but maybe because I'm in Canada! New TRD OR jumped 12k over my 2020 so I will keep mine thats paid off! Nice truck! Like your colour choice, silver easy to keep clean same as mine. Red was nice but harder to keep clean.
Thanks for watching. Yeah they went way up in price for sure, but I think it's worth it given us new for the ground up.
Similar app experience with my grand highlander and likely with my Tacoma arriving this summer 😂
Some of it is really good, but this is why the EV companies are so far ahead in the software side they start with software. I think they'll get there especially because this platform is shared across pretty much everything now. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Congrats on the new truck. I'm waiting on the hybrid version. I do have a question , if you have the auto tailgate , is it possible to deactivate it so it won't drop unless manually done? I'll have a Leer bed cap , if the tailgate deploys unintentionally with the cap door closed and locked it would likely damage the cap door.
It no longer operates like a traditional tailgate. It's more like a liftgate on an SUV. I will try a few things though to see what happens. If it senses resistance it should stop though is my understanding.
Android has a security feature that sleeps apps. I forget where it is. But a buddy of mine found it and fixed his issue with his digital key. Not sure that you are having the same issue though. It was putting some features of the app to sleep but not the whole app.
Thanks for the tip I'll check that out as well, I think I left background processes on for the app, but I can look at it more. Thanks for watching and commenting!
i just bought a 23 tacoma with a v6 because screw inline 4 garbage tacomas with future mechanical problems. if its anything like the pos new tundra i rather buy an old model or walk home
And you have that right to buy what you want, I hope you enjoy your vehicle.
I had a 2020 F150 work truck for a bit that had keyless style entry. It was so finnicky. More than half of the time it would not open when I grabbed the handle. I am surprised how badly all these digital convenience features perform on vehicles.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The wallet key works perfectly. I have had one issue with that. So I'm going to just stick with using that. It's really no less convenient in this case. But I agree that vehicle companies need to do better.
Great vid, question for in app experience. Can you adjust climate control?
Thanks for watching and the question. Just to clarify do you mean, can you adjust climate control in the app? I can dig more into that in a video. Just looked and you can adjust it for the next remote start.
@@BenInBeta sorry yes ability to adjust climate control settings while in the Toyota app…thank you for the information. Will be a huge plus to set it to cool for summer/heat in winter from inside before I get to the truck.
@@VI510N No problem!
Good looking truck you got there.
The App is okay, the alerts can bug the fire out of you but you can turn a lot of them off under Account > Notifications. I recall when I got my 23 there was also delays in getting notifications. Today, I was at dealership for 5k and didnt get any alerts I had turned on. The truck has a sim in it for connecting to a cell network, so maybe delays there or just buggy issues.
What are your thoughts on PPF vs Ceramic?
How about tint? Any plans?
When will you do your 1st oil change? Or will you take to dealership.
How does it sound? I understand there is noise pumped in through the sound system? Is that true, and if so, can it be turned off?
Looking forward to your take after some time of ownership and how you plan to build it out.
Enjoy the new truck..
First Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah I'll get the notifications under control, thanks for that advice on those. I did just connect it to WiFi at home now too, but yes cloud service can be fast or slow depending on how they're implemented.
I don't have much experience with PPF, my understanding is that they have really come a long way and you can ceramic coat those too. I just don't want to pay for that right now though. Budgets!
I enjoy coating my car myself and I have enough detailing stuff, I can take care of minor scratches myself too. I'll be doing a graphene ceramic from DIYDetail. In the past I have used the Glasparency graphene coating on 4 vehicles. It was fantastic. So just trying some new. Graphene coatings are easier to apply in my opinion.
I might add a tint. I have done that in the past, but sometimes they don't get everything clipped in well and then you get a rattle. Again potential future addition.
Since the oil changes are included for the first 2 years I'll take it in. After that I may do my own maintenance. We'll see.
The sound system is good, the piped in sound you can hear in the intro montage at the end. It's not that loud, I like that sound, but some will not. There's a device you can attach to the OBD2 port and turn it off or the dealership can for a few I think. What it sounds like on the outside? Stay tuned for the tire video. Just shot first part and haven't gotten to watch it yet, but I had a camera outside too. Again thank you and I plan on doing a. Livestream next week so feel free to pop into that and ask more questions!
@BenInBeta your welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
man, I like that color, seen the underground color on others, and didn't care for it.
when I got my, I had looked at PPF.
quotes were between 4.5k > 6k
the 6k, these guys take your vehicle apart on the outside to apply film. The owner said he hated seeing installs with seams or borders. he said that is why he cost the most. He did all my tint work. When I was there, he had just finished a brand new Porsche 4 door, had 21 miles on the odometer. The owners had just picked it up. He showed me the pics of the tear down. He was right. They dismantled it. crazy
The 6k was the entire truck,, tip to tail.
I'm still thinking about it.
anyway, so. how does the motor sound? how's the exhaust sound?
well, have a good night. I remember the first night I got my Taco. I had traded in my 2001 Tundra(wish I kept it-lol)
Glad you like it but when i saw one in person i was not a fan. Looked very cheap to me. I was excited to shop for one but wasn't impressed.
It's great that the midsize market has just all been refreshed. I'm sure there's something out there for you.
I’d like to hear your thoughts on ride quality and seat comfort in that premium package. I do allot of really long road trips, wondering if the premium package seats are worth the extra cost.
Having also driven the SR5 with the cloth seats. I think they are both very comfortable, but the softex seats in the Premium are a little more firm than the cloth seats in my opinion. They are also were more adjustable because they were power and had 4 way lumbar instead of two way. If you can sit in both I'd do that since my butt and back might be different from yours.
But if seat comfort is the only reason you are getting a premium, I'd probably save some cash. I really wanted the MTM system and I didn't mind the cooled seats among other goodies.
Thanks! One more question, Do you think the ride quality is much better or worse than that sr5 you tested?
@@jasonwright3667 They both had the multilink rear suspension so they were very similar. I think the Bilstiens on the Off-Road do make it just slightly better, but the SR5 was not bad by any means.
One thing that's very different though is the cabin in the off road premium is much quieter than the SR5 especially with regard to engine noise if that matters to you at all.
@@BenInBetathat’s actually great to know! Thanks!!
I wonder how big of an MPG hit you'll take going to the AT4W since it's a bit heavier
Well it'll be a little hard to compare it against myself driving since I won't have even gotten through a quarter tank before tomorrow when the new tires go on. That being said I chose to go with the stock size and SL rating as it will take the full payload of the vehicle and is 6lbs per tire lighter with a bette ride quality than the E rated tires. I'm hoping that'll help some. They weigh about 47.5 and KO3s with same rating would be 46. I think the stock tires are around 38 so I'm sure it'll be a hit. I'll have to compare it to the EPA estimates I guess. But I will report back after a few tanks of go juice.
Looking to get a Trailhunter from Pueblo or Colorado Springs Toyota when available. Have a 2017 Pro right now. Will be very interested to follow you and also see a new 2024 in person.
Nice do you have a deposit down at both places already for the Trailhunter? I know that Toyota of Colorado Springs was no longer taking deposits on that or the Pro anymore because there won't be very many. That was what we wanted to get but 60k+ is just out of our budget.
@@BenInBetaBen no deposit yet as i'm waiting on final specs and build. Not in a hurry as it's going to be very difficult giving up my Pro.
I can understand that and waiting is probably good anyway. Let's us that went first work out the kinks.
Android is likely the root cause of the quirks. Love my S22... but random issues, including Android Auto are common. Nice Taco!
Thanks actually many people on the forums have reported the same with IOS and CarPlay. So there's room for improvement in general I think. But the number of different devices on Android makes it harder and I have a Pixel 8 Pro so that generally works when everything else doesn't. It's ok though, I have run with a key and a cord for a long time and that's not a terrible experience either.
I don't use the app. For what? I had it on my Fords, never used it. As soon as I started getting notifications on my phone that was the first no-no. Also, TPMS never match what I aired the tires too. If I want to remote start it, I will use the key to do it. I used the app to turn off the rear seat crap. Other than that, the vehicle has all the tech I want except the 360 cameras. This Truck would be an all time-keeper, maybe, but for this money, they have to replace that HARD plastic all around with some soft stuff.
If I don't use the digital key, I probably not use the app very often. I had the Bluelink app for the Tucson and almost never opened, but it also didn't spam me with notifications either. LOL
@@BenInBeta I keep looking at that. I didn't download it because how many keys do I need. I had to ask the salesperson for my keycard. Without these YT videos I would have never known there was a keycard with the two fobs. I just keep the keycard in the wallet now.
It was so seamless on the Tesla, if it worked like that I'd probably not even worry about bringing a wallet with most of the time. Colorado has a digital driver's license and I pay with my phone just about everywhere. Anytime I'm going going in the wild though I'll have a key with me for sure!
If you already haven't, you may want to test the Toyota app outside the garage and see if it's a signal being blocked issue.
I had a similar experience the two times I left without the key and went to the store in the parking lots. . I might just remove it and try everything from scratch
@@BenInBeta aahhhh, physical key then 😂
@@evancontos2267 I won't give up that easy, but I do love the wallet key as a second option. It's not as slim as the Tesla card, but you also had to tap that one to the car to drive it. So the thickness is worth it.
Hopefully you front diff don't break and your transmission does not over heat when towing some thing.
Hopefully!
Maybe I’m just old fashioned. But my phone doesn’t exist when I drive my car. I just focus on the road, lol. One less little bit of technology to worry about working or not.
There's nothing wrong with that at all, I mostly use it for listening to music or a podcast and a rare phone call, but I don't use the phone at all, it's in my pocket or previously connected to the car via a wire. Everything is projected to the vehicle. I've been using Andriod Auto and CarPlay since like 2013 I think. I definitely am not one those people on my phone in my car. It's not as safe as not even having a phone in your car, but it's far safer than using a phone in your car. I generally use voice commands for everything too so it's hands free and when I use it to send texts sometimes there are some pretty funny unintended responses. Thanks for watching!
The concept is leave your phone in your pocket, use hands free controlls, open, lock, start, stop, etc and have your Audio and loaded maps just magically turn on the touchscreen. At least that's the concept. So many different phone OS's, hardware, bluetooth version, etc make next to impossible to accomplish all this with a gaurantee it works for everyone.
Yup it's complicated for sure.
All the technology is too much for me. I like old school Key start, and much smaller screen. The 4 banger Turbo won’t last as long as the v6 either. The best motor the Taco ever had was the 4.0.
Fair enough!
Why do people keep saying that? Was the 1985 turbocharged 22re a short lived engine? NO! imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/9751/rvn2OB.jpg
Sounds like a Toyota dealership scam to get you to use the app more so the dealership gets paid when you use their app. Just saying 🤷🏻♂️
The Toyota app or the tracker the other dealership installs on their vehicles?
over price, cheap interior plastic and seat…sticking with my 3rd gen
That's a nice truck too!
TOYOTA FAILED ITS CUSTOMERS!!
I'm on my fourth Toyota truck, and this is my last. I won't drive unreliable turbos that are expensive to fix when they go bad. The reviews and blogs say it all. 🤮
BRING BACK THE V8 IN THE TUNDRA & BRING BACK THE V6 IN THE TACOMA!! 🤬
Unfortunately I don't think that'll happen, but I hope you find the vehicle you need, whatever brand it is.
@BenInBeta I'll go to Ford. They have a wide assortment of trucks and platforms thar fit customers and still listen to their customers' needs. Sad Toyota has gotten so BIG that they can stop listening to the people who got them to this position in the world.
The Rangers look really nice too. I wish they would have released when they were supposed to last year. I really wanted to drive one. Enjoy it!
NIssan still rockin the V6. I love my V6 (2020 TRD), but this new engine is the bees knees. It's not like they just started making them.
@dogmanky If Toyota would have done a 330hp V6 with a 6-speed it would have been perfect.
