    I work for Toyota..have for the last 13 years. I have yet to see a Trailhunter in person, but I can tell you that every single 2024 Tacoma's glovebox rattles and moves around like that...its embarrassing that Toyota let this slide. But...their engineering, design and manufacturing have gone way down hill with this new product line. To cap it all off...built in Mexico. First it was the Tundra..now the Tacoma and Land Cruiser..and soon to be 4Runner. Makes me happy everyday that I bought a 2024 TRD PRO 4Runner...last of the dinosaurs and last of the great Toyotas. The Glovebox along with those floor mats, (as simple as they both are), shows exactly how far Toyota has fallen.

    That's a beautiful truck and very nice Tacoma. I think there's two big misses here on that truck. The first being the price is ridiculous, I know you get a lot but it's still very high for a midsize. The second big miss is forcing people to have a hybrid system not having it be an option. The point of this truck is for overlanding for over landing you're going to want that underseat storage and all of that gets taken up by a battery system. Just so stupid. I think to better play with these new tacomas is to get a TRD offroad which gives you all of the electronic offroad goodies and then just outfit it yourself.

    I'm putting the 265/75/16 on my 3rd gen Tacoma will be about the same size tire as what's on there! 9.9" ground clearance. I could add a full set of skid plates, 🪨 rails, front & rear metal bumpers + sumo springs I wouldn't have much payload left but a lot of those bumpers don't add much weight The rear steel bumper adds like only 25 lb or something. Do all that about 5K install myself & have 85-90% of what that thing would do off-road & $46K would be my total price. Just out of curiosity how would I void my warranty by doing any of those mods?

    I can predict down to a T what the comments are gonna be on all these toyota videos nowadays lol.
    Otherwise this was a good review. Many folks dont realize how expensive alot of the aftermarket accessories, especially from ARB, can get once you start to build out a rig. Atleast this is warrantied. I like this over the TRD pro as its seems to have a clearer purpose than just 'go fast'. It is pricey but seems like it will be mighty capable. Cant wait to see what these look like with 35's
    Something tells me they will have fewer allocations on this than the Pro.

    Great review complete with some pertinent information you don't consistently get from other reviewers such as actual payload capacity. Toyota doesn't seem to understand that the people actually into overlanding are almost always people who buy used and modify their vehicles to taste. Trying to build a ready made overlander for the 12 guys that can't figure out which end of the screwdriver goes in the screw is probably going to be a flop. Especially for the price. It's sort of like when Chevy tried to build a ready made hot rod looking truck in the SSR or when Plymouth made the Prowler. Both companies missed the point of why guys love the old hot rods in the first place.

      I think there are ton of reasons why this truck is problematic. Most important is the price but the 1,245 pounds of payload is not the issue. 1,245 pounds AFTER steel bumpers, full skid plates, and rock sliders is actually pretty good. The steel bumpers are at least 150 pounds added weight, skid plates at least 100 pounds and rock sliders also 100 pounds. That is 350 pounds that you would need to add when building an overland rig. This means the truck would need to start with about 1,600 pounds of payload to have the 1,245 pounds AFTER you installed the aftermarket parts. That is full size territory.

But you can already see the poor quality of the vehicle inside. The price tag is just silly. And with all the issues that Toyota is having with these I just can't see this really lasting without being a nightmare. Its at best a show truck. If anyone used it to its capabilities it would just be a disaster. Plus the sliding rear window is no longer standard witch is just a final kick in the teeth.

      It's my job to present the details in an unbiased way in a video like this. Most of the people watching it will have bought one already or planning to buy one. So I explain the benefits of it well. I do however make a point to show the things that I don't like, but without ripping on the truck.
