In today’s video I’ll be going over the ‘24 Tacomas great track record and many new features! I hope you enjoy the content and I hope that you have a grand day!
I have no bias whatsoever. I think it’s a cool truck and that’s just a matter of opinion. As I stated this isn’t my truck but also in my opinion it’s better than spending 90k on a diesel. Thanks for the comment I hope you have a great rest of your day
@@Bmstaudy I spent 53k on a 2024 Colorado ZR2. Just teasing. But the Colorado 100% isn’t worth that price tag either. It is a better deal that these Toyotas I’ll tell ya that much
@@Vec135 if you’ve seen my other videos you might have noticed I’m a huge gm fan! I love the Colorados more than anything and the zr2s the most what engines in yours?
@@Vec135 I didn’t realize they don’t come with the v6 or the 2.8 duramax anymore. I love those 2.7s they’re so stout sounds like you got a fantastic truck on your hands I hope you enjoy it every chance you get!
I'm 68 years old i have had my tacoma TRD off-road now for 2 months now it's the best pickup I have ever had i had 6 toyota pickups so for and this one is the best
Old Timer please shut these trolls who knows nothing about trucks lol. Do I agree with the price ? Hells no. But yeas I agree with you sir . Hands down best Tacoma truck outhere. If not midsize world wide .
Its a 4 Cylinder I dont care how many turbos you throw on it. It will always be an over worked 4 Cylinder. I have a V8 GX460 and the engine is never searching for power and never sounds over worked. They should have offered a naturally aspirated V6 option. Thats why people loved the old 4runner/Tacoma. SIMPLE reliability thats what made Toyota great.
I agree but to an extent, I’ve never owned an i4 vehicle, but agree they can be overworked. Toyota is known for their reliability though and there really isn’t a perfect cylinder number
Perfect how? It’s overpriced and they don’t even feel like a truck when I test drove it. Felt weak when I hit the gas. Not to mention let’s not forget it’s made in Mexico and the 4wd is the worst version EVER. And don’t forget this is this biggest exodus Toyota has ever had with more Tacoma owners switching to other brands than ever before. We get it you got buyers remorse. Toyota lost me as a customer after that test drive.
I’m just gonna go ahead and state that your comment is almost 100% BS. Sorry to tell you, but the new truck is better in every single way, as it should be… it’s got more power, equal or better fuel mileage per tank, has a better interior, sounds better, and looks better (I know these last two are more subjective, but that’s my opinion). I owned a gen 3 trd OR premium and that truck was more expensive than my current gen 4… don’t get all the extra crap you don’t need and they don’t cost any more than any other Tacoma ever built (accounting for inflation). Don’t get me wrong, I liked my gen 3 a lot, but after having this one for 2 months now, it’s just a better truck, plain and simple. It seems the trendy thing to do these days is to go online and whine about things you have no clue about or no actual interest in using yourself. The Tacoma is doing just fine, and if you have been paying attention, you’d know that ALL new cars are expensive these days, and interest rates are also very high.
@@kevinbradley8613 If that’s the case then why would you pay 65k for a truck that doesn’t have nearly the options as what the new Colorado zr2 ? I have owned numerous tacomas and it’s funny how much of you guys are fanboys for a brand that is underwhelming. My first car was. 91 4Runner. Your preaching the the choir my friend. You too will soon realize Toyota doesn’t care about its longtime customers
@@Canyon04 I wouldn’t pay $65K… as I mentioned… you’re comparing top trim levels. My new truck was $44K, trd OR, manual transmission, no gimmicks. It’s a sweet truck. My ‘22 trd OR was nearly $48K when I bought it! Don’t hate on something you’ve got no actual clue about. If you don’t want a new truck, don’t buy one, or better yet, buy one that you do want! It’s pretty simple. Toyota isn’t the best company and I’m no “fanboy” I’ve owned all kinds of different vehicles over the years and enjoyed most of them. Jeeps, VWs, Nissan, Subaru… my father worked for GM for 40 years, I grew up with chevys. They all make nice vehicles! Even Ford lol. I’ve driven and used a few f150s over the years for work trucks. Unfortunately, they are getting more expensive, but that’s more OUR fault than the individual companies. We demand more, they give us more, and it costs MORE. If you’re comparing the top trim Chevy, ford, and Tacoma… no questions, I’d probably pick the Chevy or the GMC (same trucks basically), but I don’t need something like that, and most people don’t. Spending over $60K on a midsized truck is crazy to me, but if that’s what you want, go for it. It’s more for bragging rights than anything else, but I’m not hating if that’s your thing. Keep what you’ve got if you like it. Saying the new taco is underpowered tells me you’re not serious and you definitely haven’t driven one. I’m not making it up when I say it is literally better in every way! It has a smaller gas tank… I get the same miles per tank as I did in my ‘22. Moot point. Everything else is an improvement. Frame, transmission, motor, suspension, interior, even the fit and finish is better than my gen 3 (also built in Mexico btw).
😂 people whine about the plastic covers, they remove the plastic cover, people whine about not having covers now… and on and on! I wouldn’t have minded if they’d kept the cover, but who actually cares?!
Believe it or not, I have some electrical issues with my new Toyota Tacoma TRD...... it started to happen within the 6 months I got (Less then 5k driven). Luckily, I got it fixed under the warranty but had to do some Battle against the Dealership that sold me the car...... Hopefully, this won't happen again.....
Can't tell if this guy is trolling or what. Most expensive truck in class that has been on the market for a month, yet its the most affordable and is somehow guaranteed do 250k. Okay bud.
If you get the cheapest version it can be an affordable truck, and tell me a Toyota that has been unreliable, nothing certain but I’m confident in these trucks
I would take my Second gen over this any day of the week. I was just at Toyota this afternoon and the service mgr was yeah don't buy any of these new ones . Not a good sign.
@@Bmstaudy i genuinely cant believe that they stopped using one of the most reliable 6cyl engines ever made for a turbo 4cyl that has less than a 10% increase on gas mileage
People just repeat what they hear, they don't take the time to learn. We used to think ignorance was lack of information, nope- people are just lazy becuase the information is out there. To think that Toyota is not intentionally moving the Tacoma more upscale and they got it wrong, are silly. If you don't like the new Tacoma, that's ok move on and get something else. Tacoma is going to be fine. I am tired of the whiners on every Tacoma video. Go get the Frontier, Chevy or Ford.
Yeah I’m very surprised to see all the hate this trucks receiving. The truck is so new how could you possibly tell if it’s unreliable or not if they make 100,000 of these and 1% are terribly unreliable then people will only talk about that 1%. From my personal experience and my friends that own these I’ve heard good things
The new car market doesn’t give the consumers much of an option anymore, and my friend works for Toyota so what he actually paid for the truck was no where near 50
I live in rural mi, therefore all you see is the big three. Also these trucks are pretty new. Now if we’re talking about clapped out 2002 Monte Carlo’s I bet I see more than most of the population 😂
your friend bought an unreliable truck lol ...i bought this truck a few months ago and the engine started knocking :( the new motor is garbage ...buy the tacomas 2022 and down or the nissan Frontier please save yourselves people
Post a update video at 250k miles. 4 cylinder turbo charged. Not sold on the longevity of turbo charged gasoline engines. Nothing is built to last anymore. Throw away society now.
@@Bmstaudy I see so many 20+ year old V6 Tacoma's on the road. Why change the formula that brought you so much success!? Ford ruined the market for all vehicle classes. "Green" technology. This is about the bottom line. More plastic, wires, hoses and less metal. Sorry about the rant!
250k miles? Lmao i always sell my vehicles at 150k miles. even the v6 tacoma, at 250k miles, you're already looking at a minimum of 1 engine replacements
