Another excellent video.. Shows real time action and not just the imagination of what the truck would do by other UTubers. Truth and not just opinion makes it a much better video. Keep them coming!
Loving your videos. I'm pretty impressed with the 4 cylinder turbo engine. I'm praying the new engine will last for a long time like older Toyota engines. We will wait and see.
Thank you! You need to go check out my new payload video. I put 25 bales of hay in the bed😂 I’m hoping they last a long time too! Too bad we can’t fast forward and just find out the answer to that😂
Good review! A couple of things you might want to on next test to have the tractors buckle forward. That should appease anyone thinking you are over loading the tongue. The trucks bed raising is just the hazard of loading but you were very smart using lever ground. I think in my view one of the Taco’s weaknesses is that plastic bed being too light. What I would like to see how it would tow from a complete stop on an incline. In a real world situation I am concern if the engine can do it confidently. Of course something sensible not damage your truck or get Taco lovers harsh feedback. Just to put out where Im coming from Im a Frontier owner and Im still on the ropes of new engines. As for the bed Im welding inspector never been a fan of composite material. I think the individuals that were on the last submersible dive to the Titanic would have agreed with me. 😢
Thank you! I thought about loading it with the bucket forward but that would have put all the weight over the axles and not enough on the tongue. So I figured too much on the tongue is better. Towing from a stop on a hill is a great idea! Maybe I’ll make a short about that! Thank you for watching!
Can you do a video on the towing guide lines AND the back up assist. I have yet to find ANY Tacoma videos where they talk specifically about the back up assist. This is what I am specifically looking for, with this truck!
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 The Tundra videos go in to it some. If you could show backing up a trailer and making a turn like in a driveway, and have to correct, and the assist completes the turn, that would be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like the video. I'm going to try to tow my 4,000 lb pontoon with the 24 tacoma. I had a 2002 f250, but it is on life support. Seeing this video gives me alot more confidence. BTW, how did you fix the tow malfunction message. Thanks for the video.
There is a boost gauge. I was just hoping there would be a boost gauge in the page with all the temperatures and stuff. I’m kind of a nerd. I like to have all the information available 😂
Nice video. Can it use the active lane centering on the highway while towing? Not just the warning steering tugs. Lighter trailer like 2500lbs. That would be useful to know for long hauls.
I tow a boat that weighs about the same, or a little more than your trailer. I’m on the fence right now on the hybrid. Any regrets on not getting the hybrid ($4000 more)?
I feel like if you want to have more power than you will ever need, then spend the money. But the gas powertrain had plenty of power. I never felt like it was lacking. The other thing is my truck is rated for about 6400 pounds. The hybrid is rated for 6000 because of the added weight of the hybrid system. So it picks up a ton of power but loses 400 pounds in tow rating.
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the power difference isn’t that noticeable. Hybrid does come with bigger brakes and rear differential, inverter. Great review!
22 TRD Off Road 4x4 V6 with manual trans. Live in Tampa but camp in the Smoky & Blue Ridge Mountain areas frequently. Pull a small utility style camper, 2500 lbs loaded, which has a front pull-out kitchen that has tongue weight. Installed quality air bags at the get go to eliminate any rear squat. Trailer is base camp as we explore & hike nearby areas. No problems with any inclines traveling this way. Keeping it Simple.
It definitely was! More than the power, I was actually really impressed with how stable it was! We do have rattle snakes here. Ive never seen one tho. I do have bull snakes at my property quite regularly tho.
Yeah I didn’t love how far forward it was but the tractor was too long so there wasn’t all that much room to move it back. And if I loaded it the other way it would have been all over the axles with no tongue weight. So I figured too much tongue weight was better than none. Thank you for watching tho!
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE TACOMA DO NEXT!?
send it to space?
@@eastonadamsput it in orbit with the Tesla roadster!

Thank you! And Thanks for the support!
These continue to impress. Looking. Forward to getting one.

Loving this truck and this series
Thanks brother!
This Tacoma will be in a museum one day. 🤣

Light bar, winch, tool box in the bed. Also, you mentioned it riding a bit rough. I think a suspension test on mountain hunting trails is in order.
I like that! I’d really like to do a full build on it!
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 I think I missed something here. was the 2024 Tacoma riding rough because it was towing or does it ride rough in general?
@@sammyjammy6647 I talked about it in my test drive video. The bilstein shocks are quite stiff it rode better with a trailer on it

That is a great idea. I’ll do that. I’ll probably have that up for you by next Friday👍

@@dougmead7669awesome I’ll do that! Do you have a 24 tacoma?
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 No problem, but with out my name plz.
@@dougmead7669 I have that video filmed! Do you mind if I put a screenshot of your comment in the video?
Super good info 👍 thanks T-Money
Thanks brother!

I think it’ll do great. The malfunction message was because of faulty wiring on the trailer. Thanks for watching!
Are there airbags for rear suspension yet?
Love the Tacoma!!!
Thank you!
All these videos of "overheating" never comes close to red levels. Truck culture channels just try to find something wrong with new gen stuff.
All of the 4th gen videos I’ve seen show that you can display a boost gauge
There is a boost gauge. I was just hoping there would be a boost gauge in the page with all the temperatures and stuff. I’m kind of a nerd. I like to have all the information available 😂
Nice video. Can it use the active lane centering on the highway while towing? Not just the warning steering tugs. Lighter trailer like 2500lbs. That would be useful to know for long hauls.
Thank you! I didn’t try it. I like all that stuff but when I’m towing I don’t use it. I believe you can use it tho👍
Thanks. If you ever get around to testing it, towing, please let me know. That will be helpful.
WOW, the 4-cylinder does and sounds better than the V6.
It sounds like a little diesel😂
I tow a boat that weighs about the same, or a little more than your trailer. I’m on the fence right now on the hybrid. Any regrets on not getting the hybrid ($4000 more)?

@belfastconor8521 I didn’t know that about the hybrid. That is cool! Thank you!
How you liking that color there's a 6ft bed in that color im considering
I love the color! I was a little nervous about it but it’s awesome!

I thought it has a boost gauge based on other reviews.
That is in the other page. I was just saying I wish there was a boost gauge in the “towing” page with all the temperatures
I want to see the Tacoma pull a bumper pull horse trailer with 1 or 2 horses in the trailer.
I’ve done that with my 1st gen
Thanks for the towing video. The Gen 4 seems much happier towing than the Gen 3.
Do you have to worry about rattlesnakes?
It definitely was! More than the power, I was actually really impressed with how stable it was! We do have rattle snakes here. Ive never seen one tho. I do have bull snakes at my property quite regularly tho.
Clearly you loaded that tractor too heavy on the tongue of the trailer, very dangerous
jump the tacoma towing the tractor!!!!
That would be sick!
No trailer brakes towing 6500 lbs is illegal. That's because in an emergency stop your going to be unable to stop, putting others at rick of injury.
That trailer weighs more than that, i have a 12ft version of it and its 3200
Nevermind must be smaller, no brakes
WAY too much tongue weight my guy. You should've taken advantage of the dual axle trailer with the heaviest part of the load. Thanks for the content.

And if I loaded it the other way it would have been all over the axles with no tongue weight. So I figured too much tongue weight was better than none. Thank you for watching tho!
Yeah I think the tongue weight max is what 600?
