4 minutes in I'm dying laughing over that sound effect for that jump omg
The Tacoma is like a guardian angel, even when your scared as hell doing something, you know it'll take care of you and get you through it.
Just watched this video for the third time and it never ceases to amaze me when I think about the workout you must get setting and resetting your video cameras. Loves Tacomas. Good job.
The music while you driving on that dirt was was so funny lol, and the mario-esque jump sound when you hit a bump
Great editing. I love the multi screen shots so we can see exactly what the terrain looks like that you are tackling.
As she said, it's a lot of work setting up multi shots. Especially when we have to climb the hills and or get off the road to awkward stances to set up then return to the vehicle. And editing can take 5 times as long as it does to do the drives and field work.
My SR5 Tacoma upgrades:
-4.5 inch lift
-33" Toyo MT tires
-2.5 king coilovers all around
-billet mid travel Camburg UCAs
-avid rock sliders
-avid bull bar
-TRD skid plate
-Arb lockers front and rear
-5.88 gears
-light bars, light pods
-fab forbs rear bumper.
I have always thought woman who drive Tacoma's are "sexy", but woman who drive and can wheel a Tacoma are "sexy as hell". Great review Sara and I totally agree the 4.0 liter was way better.
But please be careful out there, bring a friend or make sure you always have a way to contact someone. Off roading is a blast out in remote locations, but it can turn from fun to serious real quick. Keep up the great reviews!!!!
sfakach t shoot, I had 4G up on that ridge, it was awesome! Haha
Tacoma reminds me of Harley Davison. They have seemed to kind of rested on their laurels and fallen behind in terms of performance. HD sells a lot based purely on brand recognition and so does Tacoma. Great review! love the offroading!
Great editing, hard work. And even better driving ;-) x
This is probably one of my favorite reviews I've seen from you. I literally laughed out loud at my desk when you were playing with the rear window switch. Now everyone in my office thinks I'm a nut...but I digress. In my opinion, the Tacoma TRD Off Road is the sweet spot for this truck. I bought mine last year for around $34k, traded my F150 in for it...yeah it doesn't have JBL speakers or leather, doesn't have all the cool looking TRD Pro equipment (I did add the aluminum skid plate), but it does have a higher ride height, better off road tires, bilstein shocks, and it has MTS and Crawl Control. I think it's very close in terms of capability to the TRD Pro but for much less money. And I test drove a base model Taco and it doesn't even feel like the same league of truck. The base would be a great starting point for anyone who wants to build a rig from scratch though.
This was by far the best review ever!!! Love it! And keep being you, you're awesome!!!
The Taco did everything you asked. By your own admission, you didnt come close to maxing it out. How can it only rate a 3.5 meatballs
I bet it's because of what she said how it is too much money. And how you can get a base model to do the same things. ;)
@@WW-wf8tu you could be correct. I just thought the review was all positive then only 3.5 meatballs. Sarah is usually so upfront. But here I couldn't see why it wasn't 5. And I'm not a fan of this truck. I need more headroom
As an owner of a gen3 taco v6, it *does* the job but it just is never happy about doing much unless revving over 3500rpm.
If I was working at the Color and Trim division of Toyota, I would insist that shade must be called "Smurf blue" 🤣 - Awesome adventure on the ridge, loved it! Proof that fun in cars can be had at almost no speed at all also! Stay Awesome!
I believe the pro has a locking rear differential. A base model probably only has a limited slip rear end. That would be a worthwhile upgrade to a base model.
LMAO the end with the cows & F103 💀🤣🤣🤣
F103 was my favourite.. because of its eyelashes..
Usually, when you speak the cow's number, it recognizes the words and comes forward. Might have needed to hear them in a male voice.
This is one of your very best reviews Sarah ! A lot of action and beautiful landscape to backup your driving comments all the while expressing comments about the vehicle performance.
Arizona is a beautiful state and I see a lot of potential hiking in those hills and mountains. By the way your outide shots while driving were quite convincing on how steep the drive was (I'm guessing this is were you are using a GoPro). Thank you !
Could not take my eyes away. you just a tall drink of crazy, love it! As always stellar job.
Taco TRD Pro = $50,000. Sarah's reactions to the trail as she climbed up = Priceless.
"2019 Tacoma TRD Pro, that was a mouthful' (that's what she said) Sarah makes my mind go there!
Now that I think about it...u are my favorite desert dweller. I don't kno of a better desert dweller that dwells in the desert and does awesome stuff. 😄👍
Edit: keep doin what ur doin and you'll hit 1M subs sooner than u may think 'cause ur content is honestly really great.
I have a 2005 TRD off-road with a small pulley TRD supercharger. It’s an absolute rock star and runs like a Swiss watch. I got the truck in 2004 and still have it today. I absolutely LOVE my Taco.
This was a great review. Nice job.👊🏻👌🏻
The edit is unreal. So many angles and great artistic shots!
Who needs a stair-stepper when you can set a camera up and take it down 47 times on a steep incline? That must have been fun! Haha. Great review, thanks.
IT'S A BLUE CORN TACO! 🤣🤤🌮Watching you talk to the Cows was HILARIOUS! 😆
Always a great unique review! Love these videos you produce. I can tell you spend a lot of time on them!!! Here is to your first million subs!!
Thanks! It took 17 1/2 hours to edit and 6 or so to film.
@@SarahnTuned Wow!! that is a lot, well it shows. Hope you take the day off and relax on Memorial Day but looking forward to your new video! your doing great!
Probably the most suspenseful video I've seen of you .
Me- "Hey Sarah, want to grab a coffee sometime?"
Sarah- 9:58
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CTFU
Good one
I love my 2016 TRD Off Road but you’re right the plastic interior scratches very easily.
You so funny! Seriously, girl. I rarely laugh at professional comedians anymore. And here you are, you've got me physically giggling. And then you get my ankles tingling with your steep ascents. Keep it up, Sarah, you're doing great.
Sarah. Sorry about the superficial comment: I’m not a huge fan of makeup in general, but that lipstick-color/light in the driving portion is STUNNING with your complexion!
I'm watching this on Taco Tuesday
Just bought a 2019 with just under 40K miles, still paid a little more than that. Don't care though, I got out of a Frontier that blew a heater core in 5 years, Unacceptable. We love this truck! I also have a Camry XSE.
Next week's sarah-n-tuned review cow F103 and how cowpower compares to horsepower haha.
Great video!! I have a 2016 TRD off road access cab manual. I can tell with certainty you make a better use of the engine’s horse power with the manual transmission. And yes I have taken my truck off road stock (serious and more of a technical terrain)just like I did with my 2000 stock 4Runner years ago. And yes I always modify my trucks but not too heavily because let’s face it 60% of the time will be driven on pavement if not more.
It’s impressive to see a heavy modified truck going over obstacles but it’s even more impressive to see a skilled driver going over the same terrain with a nearly stock vehicle!
Great clip - the hard work you put into editing and composing some groovy shots was worth it. Keep up the excellent work!
Just bought me a ‘19 TRD OR 4x4 and it’s awesome. Does the trails just fine and money saved not buying a Pro can get you a nice set of Icon shocks for the truck.
Nice drive. Tacoma is the standard by which all midsize 4wd trucks are judged.
You did a really good job with the camera work and everything on this video was entertaining.
Scout ahead with a drone? Good for content, good for solo work. Your work for your content is certainly appreciated. Looking forward to Codsworth's "coming of age."
a n i s s I don’t have a drone, I started looking into them, but the more I researched, the more I realized you have to spend $1k+ for a decent one.
Walking is cheaper and healthier than a drone.
Mechanise everything and you get fat like me.
I love Sarah's personality that has a combo of military badass and tech that's all wrapped in a beautifully girly package...not to mention her pretty brown eyes. Always fun watching her vids.
Now you’re doing it! Rally-girl turning into Off-road girl! 👍 You said you loved the adrenaline rush! More! More! Sarah! 😄
I love taking my XJ up in the mountains 🏔Hope you do more 4x4 reviews! ❤️🐞
I’ve been watching car vids for years. Mostly sports car stuff (DeMuro, etc) but I’m glad I’ve found your channel. Love it! You do a great great job. Subscribed.
I've gotta say, Sarah, you're getting pretty good at this stuff. Nice job...again!
There is NO supercharger offered for the 3.5L yet. Turbo kit is in development by OVtune. But currently there is no force induction offered on the market.
I think you were fascinated with the electrically operated rear window. Curiosity satisfied, at least now you know what's at the top.
Love the voodoo blue exterior 😍
You sold me. I had an 88 Taco xtra cab SR5 4x4 with the 22RE. That thing could climb trees. I wish I hadn't sold it. But I've had my Crosstrek in spots the jeepers can't believe I drove a CAR into.
I love your perspective of measurement, because that was waaaay more than 20 feet...lol
Lol I was thinking same thing. I am going to say it was 50 meters or about 160 feet.
Wide angle lense makes it look further than it really is....but, yeah, still seemed to be more than 20.
Nice video. Be mindful it to consider airing down a little next time as loose gravel can get sketchy...especially with HW tire pressure. Be safe on your future treks and good on you for just getting out!
The one thing that you couldn't do as well in a base model is high speed off road diving. The suspension on the Pro eats up bumps and ruts.
I’m not an off-roader, but I’d imagine buying a Taco new, then adding after-market parts to make it equivalent to this, would probably make the price around the same as this version.
Just guessing, I don’t know. Seems worth 50K to me if this is what you’re into.
Could be completely wrong tho lol
I bought a '19 TRD Off-road brand new for $36k added new wheels and K02's and its already more capable for less than $40k
Unfortunately the TRD "offroad" stuff Toyota does is really more geared at looking a little different than stock and adding some mild amount more of utility.
If you check out the forums out there though, you're better off buying an older truck and modding it to its purpose than shelling 50k (realistically over sticker price because of dealer shortages) for a truck that is only mildly capable. There's not much in this video that would be too much for any of Toyotas 4x4s in their stock forms, so why shell 50k for this?
The video is well done and gets high marks for quality though.
The truck itself, if you actuallu want to go offroad, get an older one, mod it, save money and feel less bad when you inevitably give it a ding or two on the trails.
KrymSIX the TRD off-road for me was not marked up, $36k, has a rear locker, crawl control, which I'll probably never use and better shocks, however it does look a lot better to me than a sport or Sr5. It does come with street tires and ugly wheels, that's why I changed mine.
Sarah, you’re an off-roader at heart! Love your reviews!
Nice truck but man, $50K is a lot of bucks.
Sarah, you need to make a trip to Moab. Or head up my way and do the Rubicon. You'd enjoy them both.
When I see the thumbs down count for your films, I wonder how anyone could dislike what you do & how you do it. Perhaps they just can’t help themselves being negative. The new pick up looks really capable and at only half the price of that Land Cruiser it looks a lot more practical too.
Thanks for presenting yourself so alluringly.
Gotta love a woman who likes a good mouthful
I hope you pack Sarah, when you go out there in the wild desert of AZ.. Love the video's, but be safe and know your surroundings when you go alone :0
She's alright.
I can’t disclose that information.
@@SarahnTuned my reply is, nice! ;)
There's going to be a day that your next review isn't as good as the last, today sure as hell isn't that day. Great job, looked like a fun trail and you're looking much more comfortable in the dirt each time, speeding right through that learning curve!
Glowing suspension nuts were a great touch. Nice exploring, and yeah, our girl got that.
Dave the next review... no way I’m spending 17+ hours editing a video again 😂
We'll see.
But yeah, hopefully it goes a ton quicker. I'm guessing covering a lot more road in a lot less time speeds up the camera magic side of it.
Dave no, it’s doing the work of like 3 people that’s the killer 😂
I can only imagine how hard it is, but I do know that you always find a way to pull it off damn well.
I sure as fuck appreciate all that you do for us.
6:55 - "Cliffs scare me."
Especially the Huxtable variety.
::trollface::
I've been trying to find a video of someone driving one of these. I'm so stoked on these videos. I'm def subscribed
now
This is the type of car view video of yours Sarah I really enjoy. The vehicle is not of major significance, but the stunning scenery made even more so by the exquisite girl in the foreground.
If you ever consider driving a Raleigh course, I’d be the first to volunteer to be your co-driver. Better still, you love animals. In the vehicle of your choice we could combine rough to rain driving, beautiful scenery, exotic animals and scintillating company and go on a safari, it’d make a great video!
I’ve made those same “lines” in bobtail trucks... without looking ahead.
Word to the wise, if they made a trail or road for cars... expect a turn around or something similar lol
You’d be surprised how many unpaved roads can accommodate bigger vehicles. 😇
I just love your videos! So informative and entertaining. Great production values,too. And what a sweet truck! Dig that colour.
Here she is agian. The epic reactions of Sarah. Hahaha loving it.
One girl. With a Taco. On the edge. 32 point turn. ^_^ you are the best sarah!!!
I wasn’t going to cough up 50 g’s for the pro so I got the TRD Off-road instead and modded it myself. If I had it to do over again I would just get a 6 cyl sr5 4x4 manual and mod it up how I wanted it. Not feelin the automatic and I never use crawl control. Still a solid truck tho. I’m keepin it
So beautiful it's hard to pay attention to the truck! Love the eyes and expressions!!
She's so lovely💖
Great video!!.. The Turd is a little beast, I’ve owned an SR5 and a TRD, great little truck. Great job running that hill...
Don't worry, it's a Toyota. After many years of owning Jeeps and them constantly breaking down or having quality control issues, I switched over to Toyota 4runners and Never looked back. You could have gone up that pitch in the yellow zone towing full capicty, stop midway. Parked it, took a self on the hood, came back in and continued on with out an issue.
Sarah your so awesome and I love the editing the excitement and adrenaline is a POV with you! Great review on the Toyota Tacoma!
I don't know what was more fun, watching Sarah's eyes go from salad plate size to Extra large pizza pan size, or just the smile you get when get that Air Force swagger after doing reaching the top. Loved the video, Science Taco Sarah is the ultimate in pure OMG. Never seen anyone do a 9 point 3 point turn before. How is Mr Bean?
I'm planning on purchasing the 2019 TRD PRO, just need to save a little bit more, this will be my last vehicle, $50,000 dollars, it's worth it, if you purchase a Tacoma and put add ons, you're almost close to to the price of the TRD PRO.
I am falling from my chair laughing. You are too funny. Great video. 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know how it’s possible, but your reviews and your editing get better and better with each video. I absolutely LOVED this review! And yes, I’d seriously consider buying one of these now, even though I’ve been a diehard GM guy all my life. 👍🏻
You're right about the supercharged 1GR, Sarah. I have one with a 2.5" pulley, I/H/E, 650cc injectors and a host of other supporting mods. It is definitely a beast!
First- Good Job 👏🏼 You did a much better job representing what a Taco can do over other truck channels such as TFL
Less than a minute in and the thought of Sarah and a mouthful 💋😍
Awesome Dear, the Sweet spot TACO is the TRD OFF ROAD for the money .Just as Capable off road as the TRD PRO for almost $10 g,s Less .Just think of the Possibilities with that savings alone.FYI SARAH, You would be the COOLEST GIRL to WIFEY on You Tube 👀👊👍
Great video. Liked all the editing you did. Actually felt like I got to experience a Tacoma going HAM
One hundred percent agreed. Toyota uses a perfectly good 4.0L GR in the 4runner. Why the Taco lacks one is puzzling.
The next Gen 4R will be using the 3.5, they use it in many Toyota and Lexus vehicles
I think the TRD Offroad around 36K is the best bang for your buck even a bit cheaper if you do the manual. Great review.
You are an excellent videographer as well as an excellent story teller - thx .
Great review ,I had a 2007 FJ Cruiser and I had a 2013 Tacoma TRD Sport then a 2014 Tundra Crewmax SR5 which i traded for a 2016 Tacoma TRD sport and i agree with you about the engine , the 4.0 Liter was a stump puller and the new 3.5 Liter seems under powered on the bottom end and at Highway cruise speeds it had an annoying habit of hunting for gears ,dropping out of overdrive continuously . The one positive is i got about 4 mog better fuel mileage . Sadly i needed a bigger truck so now i have a 2018 Nissan Titan Pro4X but the Titan is a Sweet ride , happy with it so far
If you think the 3.5 is underpowered you should drive one with the 2.7 my truck has, 0-60 in two weeks haha
You really need to go 4 wheeling more! My 4x4 Suburban could go up there. Your facial expressions are priceless!
Anime fans: Who would win in the desert, a desert dweller or a desert punk? Sarah experts: If she got stuck, would she stay in the truck until somebody came by or ordered food? Also, how many people will accept Sarah's challenge?
Turn off the ECT , Makes a huge difference in shifts more like the 4.0 when its done. I love my 17 4x4 Sr5 . I hate that the engines tick tick tick so much though
its better to have an auto when offroading. u have better control. using a stick when climbing from a stop can be tricky. its doable. go crawling next time and see what they are using.
Correct ... and the lower trim lines she spoke of DO NOT have crawl control - even with an automatic.
Biggest drawback for the OR and TRDPRO is the tires. The stock tires aren't really off road worthy. More like some kind of street hybrid. The first upgrade I did to my taco was replacing the tires. That puts it above any of the competition in its class.
Tackled the same road in the vid and you’re right - it’s steep. The only problem was I had a F150 crew cab so I had to make Austin Powers style turns due to the long wheelbase
Best Truck review EVER!!!!!
3.5 meatballs the 4Runner TRD Pro is even more capable off road because of approach break over and departure angles.
With you and a little work you could be even more awesome 😜.
TC nice Review.
Hell, I average 15-16MPG out of my '03 4Runner with the V8, lift and 33" tires. You should really find someone to take you out and really show you "offroading". I know cameras never show how bad a trail is, but I wonder if that truck could have done the trail in 2WD. I know my 4Runner surprises me by its ability all the time.
I feel like you would enjoy overlanding, that is if you like the camping part
That truck is the perfect color. And yes they should have kept the 4.0 and improved it. The 4.0 in the 4Runner is pretty good. I would love to have one of those in a long bed, with the extended cab, and the turbo.
Great sound affects on that little jump :) These Tacomas are some of my favorite trucks
Good video. I’m sure a base truck could have handled it but you would need at lead the TRD off road if you wanted crawl control and other goodies that you played with
OMG the car looks so sick!! That is an amazing color, the work looks top notch!
Great job as always. Love the ending with the cows :)
Looks like more complexity---more things to break. I prefer the simpler interiors of past Tacomas. I don't mind reaching back and opening the rear window.
Wow what professional editing well done.
It seems others agree with your assertions regarding the 3.5 versus 4.0 engine. Towing, there is a definite difference.
Sarah, please make sure you take a couple days provisions with you doing this alone as a just in case. More than likely you won't need it, but better safe than sorry.
