7 minutes into this video and I could say this is going to be the best review. You’re not throwing specs at us, cause if you’re watching this video, you know the specs (hate when TH-camrs do that). You’re showing exactly how to live with a truck on a day by day basis. Great video.
I too hate, when TH-cam commenters somehow make up reality by using their specific case to somehow label all watchers. I do not know the Tacoma specs yet here I am. So your entire comment is simply your own opinion, that's fine, but let's not pretend it stands for everyone. Specs are important...
As one who watches hours of car review videos, this one was a breath of fresh air. I'm researching this truck and your channel popped up on my feed. You hit on all of the things that people really care about. New subscriber. Thanks and well done.
I am a prospective buyer of the ‘24 Tacoma. I have watched A LOT of videos about the truck, well before and since it’s finally out in the real world. This video is one of my favorites pertaining to the actual use of the truck. I really appreciate your approach to making this video, well done. My highlight: the noise of the windshield wiper motor! I loathe that sound. I don’t know if I ever would have thought of that on a test drive. THANKS…🤙
The turbo gasoline engine will NOT last as long as a naturally aspirated engine. I purposely chose a 23 Tacoma because it has the naturally aspirated 3.5 V6 engine. The “new” 2.4L turbo engine is the same engine as in the Tundra and it has Fallen from Extremely reliable down to average
The Tundra is a V6 with twin turbo's and the problem with the Tundra turbo's is the electronic wastegate actuator. The Tacoma uses a very simple vacuum actuator. And with a turbo engine you just got to keep the oil clean and let it warm up and cool down properly. @@Doc1855
Car seat test is greatly appreciated. I wish more reviewers did that, since it was one of my biggest factors when buying a truck last year - it's actually the main factor why I crossed the Taco off my list. Cheers!
Congrats! Got to save the manual. New Tacoma is too expensive for me even though my truck cost more than a fully loaded OR, but it is a full-size, so value for dollar, it is decent.
I've never owned a truck. I have been driving a Honda CR-V for the last 19 years (2005, then a 2014), but the new Tacoma caught my eye for some reason, especially the hybrid AND this color. I love doing DIY projects and sometimes the CR-V just couldn't accommodate the items I wanted to buy. I have watched so many videos since the 2024 was first announced and this video has really helped me to see what the average driver will experience even if you don't plan on off-roading, but totally could if you wanted to. Great content!
Im a Tacoma faithful, when Toyota came out with the 4cylinder Tacoma I was disappointed and decided to keep my 2020 Tacoma TRD V6 till I test drove the 2024 Tacoma TRD with sunroof and ended up going home with the 2024 Tacoma
This was very helpful. I enjoyed seeing the dash lights at night, your organizational tests with the interior, pointing out things like wwiper noise and car seats.
wow what a review i really want my next vehicle to be a mid size truck and this review sold me like no other love the color of this model you have going to start saving now!
my family's been in toyotas since the 90s and that motor sound in the wipers has been there since then. at this point for me it's nostalgic lol i can't wait until the 24 land cruiser is available for you to review
Miles, you're showing things off-road I've never seen before. Hitting the trails around Area 51, are we? Very wise of you to save a Chick-fil-A for ET. Awesome Off-Road POV.
Best review I’ve seen yet of the new Taco. I’ve been shopping around to trade my Jeep in soon for a truck and had been wondering if I should get a full size or go the Tacoma route, and this has made me pretty much know I need a Tacoma. Just need to make the decision between a TRD Off Road or waiting for the TRD Pro’s to release
This video from leaving a suburban driveway to the "wilderness is hilarious! A $50K truck at 13:36 traversing a gravel road. It ate that up and spit it out like it was nuffin.
Late to comment but I really enjoyed your review, I really wanted one of these trucks, but I have a baby on the way and the car seat is what did it, I went for a tundra and love it! Also at 6’3” I needed that leg room lol. And as a paramedic for a living I must stress it is not safe to have your seat up to where your legs are up against the dash in the event of a crash for people considering making the squeeze with the car seats or tall like me.
this came across to me after I watched another video from TFLoffroad and their tacoma has a broken transfer case.... I am not sure how reliable tacoma is anymore...
I wish more dealers had newer tacomas speced out like this. They either have complete base model with add ons such as ppf , or a fully loaded one asking 63,000, I just want a TRD-Off road with heated seats and the 14” screen for 45,000.
I know right? It shouldn't work but it really does, I'm a huge fan of the new Tacomas, very pleasantly surprised my expectations were not nearly this high.
In my opinion, turning circle makes all the difference in daily use of any vehicle. The Tacoma's large turning circle is almost a deal breaker for me because I hate having make 3 point turns to park in tight parking spaces or make a u-turns on narrower streets.
i loved the video! i just picked up my own 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road in Bronze Oxide just yesterday. i was concerned with the color on paper, but it is gorgeous in the light! can't wait to take it out on some trails! while crawling in 4L and towards the end of the video, you mentioned you wished it had a front-facing camera to help you carve out a path. when you press the View button in the center console to pull up various camera angles and 360 view, does the camera not stay on for you? i'll have to test it out later today, but i'm almost certain it does
How come you have a TRX and a Tacoma just curiosity this is kinda what i wanted to do have a trx and tacoma or tacoma and 4 runner. I am looking at a tacoma trd off road prem 2024 or 2025
Toyota did an excellent job on this new Tacoma. It was long due for an update. I was initially unsure about the turbocharged 4 cylinder, but in fact it's a big upgrade over the old V6 which was very inefficient and also underpowered, the turbo 4 makes a lot more torque down low and paired to the 8 speed it's very smooth.
Is there anyway to get rid of the 5 chimes at start up? That is gonna drive me nuts. Also, I couldn't unheard the wiper whine after you mentioned it. What's the deal with that!? I don't like annoying sounds.
Love the review but coming from the Midwest putting a truck into 4x4 for some rain hurt my heart, and unless I missed something in new trucks I was always taught to never put my truck in to 4x4 while I was in drive
Man here I am thinking my 2015 TRD Pro Tacoma is still brand new to me. And the 3rd Gen is already being considered old Gen 🫣😂. This new Gen is nice though, I like 🤌🏽💪🏽
Yeah, I was asking if you can put your hand in the rear passenger door and still have it unlock THAT door or ALL doors. Something my 3rd gen can't do, but my wife's 5th gen Rav4 can.
If that turbo 4 cylinder hits the 300,000 mile mark, then it will be a genuine worthy and reliable V6 replacement. I hope it holds up. I definitely trust a Toyota turbo over other manufacturers!
@@MilesPerHr Think the first comment got deleted due to a link to the manual: Had to double check cause I couldn't believe toyota would require premium! 2024 Taco manual recommends 87 octane :)

Thanks, Edd! Glad you enjoyed it
that was a great review we wanted to see. much better than the cookie cutter mainstream reviewers afraid to say anything negative.
What a great Toyota truck, it's good to see you and of course you're the best driver, be very careful.
Moving blankets and moving rubber bands, as a former mover that impressed me more than it should have.
I am going to get a test drive, I enjoyed the video.
That auto touch wash with all that mud hurt my soul
Love your reviews! By far my favorite car reviewer out there. 24’ Toyota Tundra next!
my 3rd gen has the same wiper motor noise. only notice it when my music is off
Gas prices are up there!! I run 87 on my 3rd gen taco but love seeing Costco at 2.70 rn
Looking between the taco and Colorado. one of my concerns was the rear facing car seats. One strike against the taco
Great all-around review!
Glad you liked it!

Great useful review! This really helps me visualize how this truck may be good for me.

Wait why put premium in the tank when it runs off of regular
The wipers are pretty obnoxious. It’s not just you. Good video man.
Why did it take until now for a reviewer to mention it? I guess none of them were driving the test trucks in the rain.
@@bsd7342 can’t tell if you are agreeing or calling me an idiot.
Toyota usually has annoying wiper motors, in my experience
really like that orange on it
I know right? It shouldn't work but it really does, I'm a huge fan of the new Tacomas, very pleasantly surprised my expectations were not nearly this high.
Nice, have you seen the TFL vid of breaking/snapping inside the front differential?

Does that motor require premium gas?
15:30 if you wanna slide don’t put it on 2H out it on 2L to give you the slide and power you need
Nice truck & excellent review dude!
What’s better a Tacoma or Tundra? I want to hear some Pros and Cons
What kind of hellscape of a housing development does this guy live in?
Neighbors:
What it's like to live with MilesPerhr reviewing cars 😂
😆 FR
I love my 24 trd off road Tacoma
Wiper motors are crazy loud like in an old school car.
police- can you back your truck up a little it's sticking out in the road way. me- but my house is back there so no😂
i saw other taco with front facing camera, even above the car, and below that only tire you will see... why yours dont have?
Domestic trucks could only wish to have Toyotas history for reliability and resale value.Time will tell if this one holds true
Bro brings a 12 liter water jug and wants to put it in a "cup" holder....I just can't w some people. 😂
Great review
Lamborghini huracan sterrato is so good and cool
Opening the window covered in mud made me cringe. Lol. The 2wd play earned a like. Lol
Great review! wonder what this will like lifted with tires swapped out to more aggressive tires
Any Tacoma is Good to live with.
How come you have a TRX and a Tacoma just curiosity this is kinda what i wanted to do have a trx and tacoma or tacoma and 4 runner. I am looking at a tacoma trd off road prem 2024 or 2025
What octane should I use in my 2025 off road 87 , 89, or 91 ?
i really love this truck.
I would have bought this in a heartbeat but the back seat with 3 booster seats for kids will just not work :(

Watch TFLoffroad break their 2024 Tacoma. But if you stay away from 1 inch snow drifts your 4 cylinder Tacoma will be just fine.

Love the review but coming from the Midwest putting a truck into 4x4 for some rain hurt my heart, and unless I missed something in new trucks I was always taught to never put my truck in to 4x4 while I was in drive
Yeah you missed something, a lot of newer 4x4’s you need to be moving for it to engage.
A lot of newer trucks are e-diffs now and can be changed while in motion. Manual diffs should still be stationary when changing from 2x4 to 4x4.
I have a 23 Trail, and would love to upgrade to the 24, but the price is my only concern.
What is the maximum speed of 4 high?
my 2021 tacomas windshield wipers makes the same noise.
Inspect them my 2016 taco is butter smooth
love this
Why doesn’t this trim have a ffc?
That wiper noise would drive me nuts
Man here I am thinking my 2015 TRD Pro Tacoma is still brand new to me. And the 3rd Gen is already being considered old Gen 🫣😂.
This new Gen is nice though, I like 🤌🏽💪🏽
Does this generation of the Tacoma have power folding mirrors?
Does the Taco have unlock at all four doors like it does when you put your hand in the drivers door?
You can program it to unlock or lock one or all the doors. Just like the third gen.
Yeah, I was asking if you can put your hand in the rear passenger door and still have it unlock THAT door or ALL doors. Something my 3rd gen can't do, but my wife's 5th gen Rav4 can.
16:32 that window roll down hurt a tad…
i swore they said the tacoma took regular gas not premium
are the cloth seats any better than the 3rd gen or same?
when does the turbo kicks in?at what rpm
I would inspect the windshield wipers! Toyota would not tolerate that much noise!
Great. A video about your driveway.
I’ll take my 07 Tacoma. Y’all be safe tho
I’ll stay with my 2012 as well
