Toyota is struggling to sell their new 2024 model trucks and in todays video... I want to show you exactly why this is happening. For the past several decades Toyota trucks have been the most affordable, reliable and easy to work on trucks that money could buy... But lately Toyota has been missing the mark when it comes to their build quality and reliability. As a huge huge Toyota fan and a previous owner of of the original V8 Tundra, an FJ Cruiser and a few 80 Series Land Cruisers... I was really excited to see what Toyota would do with their new hybrid engines and specifically the updated Tacoma... And unfortunately it has been a huge disaster so far. Now not everything with this new truck is terrible... there are a lot of good things to talk about as well.

I would rather give up a little power and gas mileage for reliability, they should have left the motors alone and just updated the chassis and interior.
Most of these problems can be traced to the EPA
I bought a used 2021 Tacoma almost a year ago. My first Toyota. It had 37k miles on it. SO GLAD I went used instead of listening to the salesman and waiting on a 2024 or trying to go with a new Tundra. I’m loving my V6 Tacoma so far.
They could have improved efficiency and gas mileage and kept the reliability. The 3.5 and 4.0 were 15 year old motors. They just decided not to. Turbos can be reliable its the build quality that is disappointing. Could have hybridized the existing motors and tuned them down or went 2.5 electric. Put a heavier transmission. BUMP STOPS.
The reason they changed the engine was not because it was old but because of stricter emission regulations. A 2021 V8 Tundra produces 601 grams of greenhouse gas emissions per mile, and a 2024 Tundra produces 459 grams per mile. I agree they should have kept the old V6 and V8 because they were tough but I mean they had a reason they had to change. I’d bet if it weren’t for the changing laws they would still use the old engines
$50k+ is a lot of money for a 4 cylinder vehicle.
Particularly one that's so oversized and underwhelming. The 4th gen Tacoma grew in size yet the cabin space is worse, ground clearance is worse, the bed design sucks, and it's been plagued with transmission failures, overheating issues, suspension failures, howling differentials, engine failures, electrical issues, etc. Pay more get way less.
@@hochhaul seems like the norm these days. Pay more and get less.
RIP Toyota Reliability.
1937-2022
I'm a nissan titan and frontier guy..best truck I ever owned pro4x titan..
It what happens between the dash that mattered.
😂😂😂
Rip to their minds. They are totally fine with grooming 🌈
1037-2021. Fixed it.
Why would you pay 53k for a Tacoma when you can get a Ranger Raptor for 55k 🤷🏻♂️
True. The Ranger Raptor is crazy.
Normally one would say long-term reliability, but that doesn't seem to be the case this model year. It's a lot of money to pay to be a beta tester.
resale value it way better on a toyota...
But I never recommend buying for the resale value.
Starting at 55k
Why pay 55K for a midsized truck at all? 🤔
It’s BS to say oh Toyota will just give you a new engine. It’s not that simple, it’s your time and money being wasted. Your truck will never run the same after major repairs. You’re still making excuses for Toyota.
It's worse than that
Only 2022 are getting new engines too. 23' 24' are not covered yet
They can rust on the lots like the rest of the junk being made today.
Hooray. Comfortable seats for when you are waiting for the tow truck. GIve me a break. There are no advantages when a vehicle is unreliable and does not run.
My 06 SR5 4.7 Tundra with 197k miles runs perfect. I would never buy a new Toyota truck.
1. They dropped the V6 for basically 1mpg better.
2. They added an 8 speed auto for 1 mpg better.
3. They made the gas tank 3 gallons smaller so the range is still the same, negates any improvement because you still have to stop just as often.
4. Force you to spend 4-8k for a trailer brake controller, which adds so any options it kills payload.
I was excited for this truck and getting back into a manual Tacoma. But for that price Im not going to get rid of my 2500 chevy which I picked up for 45k. Can actually fit in the cab and actually tow.
If a person driving a new Tacoma and the transmission fails in traffic. That driver will get rear ended.
Im owning a 2024 grand highlander and after a year u have to pay for subscription just to be able to use navigation!! So disappointed!!! Greedy Toyota
Google maps is free😂
Toyota has disappointed many, many customers. Turbo engines are not good in the long term. Therefore, I will not be buying any new Toyotas. I don't want to be overly critical, but the speaker is far too much much of a Toyota fan. Toyota screwed up big time. There is no positive spin that can change this fact.
I bought a brand new 2022 Nissan Frontier SV back in late 2021 and have had 0 (that’s ZERO) problems with it. 3.8 V6, 9spd auto, crew cab. Love the thing.
All this shit your talking about is great but you can’t drive it, it’s junk and it’s forced feed little 4 cylinder with a turbo that won’t last 150K not good !
Never felt my 4.0 V6 and 4.7 V8 were underpowered, they're definitely not a hotrod, but I'll reliability over power any day !
That screen looks out of place.If the engine or tranny has problems who cares about what the inside looks like.The outside is still horrible looking.
The styling is awful and it's ballooned in size. Worse ground clearance and interior space too. The exact same problems that affected the new Tundra based on the same platform.
I call B.S. I have always owned Tundras back since 2005 my current Tundra 2015 I bought new and I'm sitting just over 400,000 Miiles on it...zero issues. I get 19.2 miles per gallon on the highway 16.9 in the city......... Of course the new Tundras have low end torque why because of the turbo any forced air injection engine is going to give you lower end torque however again with any Force injection engine it will not last like a naturally aspirated will you can talk about all the pretty things that Toyota has done to the tundra and Tacoma but if the tranny don't work and the engine don't go it's just a paperweight
I have two second gen tundras in my driveway. There's not a chance in f****** hell that you were getting 16 in the city or 19 on the highway for that matter. My combined is about 12 and I've yet to see more than 16 on the highway. City is closer to 10. The trucks are awesome but how they get worse gas mileage than my 1997 GMC Sierra k2500 with the 5.7 L vortec is still a mystery to me. Although that truck did blow up at 110k miles ....
Nissan Frontier Pro 4X I’m gonna buy one give them a chance
How about a 1.0 liter Twin turbo 3 cyl. with an oil drenched timing belt? ... Go Toyota go ... Get real high MPG.
LOL
At that point just put the 250cc engine from the 1st gen ninja 250 and add a small turbo. I got 60mpg on my bike so probably 55 mpg in a Toyota.
Did Toyota hire some woke Gen Zers recently or something?
“Toyota Thinks Its Upcoming Turbo Four Could Outshine The Legendary 2JZ” 😂
As long as you don’t drive , it’s a great truck !!
🤣 you ain’t lying!
Isn't the new replacement engine the same as the original broken engine?
So I still don't know how the Toyota CEO just screwed truck buyers.
Because only a fool would buy a Toyota pickup now.
If one spends $40-65K and the engine failes within 75K YOU JUST GOT RIPPE OFF!
If it fails before 200k you got ripped off.
“A lot better gas mileage”? Are you serious? If you consider 4 more MPG a LOT……. That economy is NOT worth the switch to a small displacement, less reliable engine… IMHO.
IKR the OR is only 1 mpg better than the 3rd Gen.
Nissan Frontier over the new Tacoma any day. Keep that overpriced turbo garbage.
Maybe they should focus on the quality of their cars/trucks and less on gay pride parades.
Between EPA and Everything Gay the company is dying in North America
Agreed. Leave that for Subaru
YES!!!
Not to mention the work shifting to Mexico.
What? ….That was stupid…
They need to go back to that v8 and v6
Or at least provide them as an option for the next few years.
They won't because of GVT emissions... sadly.
GM of Japan. That sucks we all will be walking soon .😮
😂
This what happens when you put shareholders over customers!
Did you mention the missing bump stops? for the trucks? 100% I won't buy a Tacoma because of the Press Launch event with overheating Transmissions, and they didn't even load up the trucks with gear and a trailor.
As a Toyota employee I am embarrassed that this is the product we are delivering to our customers. As an employee I have no control of what we build, but this is embarrassing to say the.
There is nothing good about the new taco it’s not a tested before released to the consumer, they screwed them selves for aleast 10 yrs it will take that long to win back their customers!!
Toyota screwed themselves by doing away with the V6. They lost my purchase. Getting a new Frontier instead.
I'm a nissan titan guy and frontier...best truck I've ever owned titan pro4x..old man talking..
Good to hear old man...I just purchased a Nissan Titan
Love your channel. Love your shit talking about these greedy corporations
Another woke pos company
I’ve owned 4 Toyotas, one a pickup. Sluggish, boring but reliable-until recently obviously.
Just bought a Frontier Pro4X. Rides nice, feels planted at high speed and cornering, lots of torque (naturally aspirated V6), Bilstein shocks, Dana transfers, locking diff, 4 wheel disc brakes, etc.
The negatives: I’m spoiled with my Tahoe that has more comfy seats, a better turning radius, and can tow more.
Here I am sipping coffee on my 06 Toyota Tacoma v6 4.0 4x4 with 324k miles. Sounds like Toyota is following every other brands steps. Shitty quality and high prices 😢
Can somebody tell me why anyone would even consider spending 50,000 plus on a new Tacoma when you can get a low mileage 2021 Tundra in a top trim package such as 1794, platinum or even TRD pro, for the exact same money? Literally a bulletproof V8 powered half ton instead of these overcomplicated forced induction quarter tons with all these problems? Or if you really do want a quarter ton then get the old Tacoma like you said? It's mind-boggling. I can't wrap my head around it. There's literally no compelling reason to buy one of these at all
The new Toyota models just look funky and a mish mash of design elements that just don't make a truck look like a truck. They have veered too far away from the low cost, well built, reliable vehicle into a space that seems poorly defined and having diminished value.
I wouldn't give plug nickel for a hybrid or even. Just like the others, Toyota is increasing the price and decreasing the quality.
I was a Toyota guy through and through. My 2018 Tundra was/is the last one I'll ever buy. My next vehicle will likely be a GM product. Makes me sick to even say that.
How about the Ford with the Coyote V8?
Drove by the Toyota dealership in Rapid City. They have 35 new Tundra on their lot! No previous generations.
Brunt boots need to make a slip-on style like sketchers.
I love sketchers because they are so comfortable easy to slip on and off.
50 k for a truck is wild.....hard pass for 50k I could take a old 30 year old truck and built a show truck, or i could just buy several used trucks....... or i could spend 10k for a truck, then put 40k in savings....thinks about it, the car dealers are ripping you off, fyi turbos wear out. and gas engines with turbos will never see 200k before a major issue
Have they done anything about the “Go Kart” style seating position where your legs are straight out in front of you?
The Tacoma much better when I was sitting in it.
Number of times my 2nd gen tacoma needed more speed=0
Number of engine/transmission engine issue=0
Number of people that want to buy it when I get gas, everyone.
My first gen 4.7L still kicking. No need all those BS computers.
I’ll keep what I have dependability , what these companies used to have 😂
facts
Stop waving your arm … it’s distracting and unnecessary
Good bye toyota 😂😂😂
Nissan Titan..is the best truck..old man talking...
Affordable and reliable is no longer Toyota. I owned a new Tacoma when they were designed and produced in Japan. The truck was absolutely rock solid, now Toyotas are just like the rest of the domestic market and indistinguishable. We are in the market for a new truck and we are not even considering Toyota as an option at this point.
It's my understanding Tacoma's were never built in Japan, since their inception, they've been built in Mexico, Texas or California depending on the year. My 09 was built in California.
I will keep my 08 tundra thank you.
Had to make a emergency run about 150 miles away last Saturday in my new Nissan Frontier. I never drive fast but had my reasons. 80 mph the entire way. The computer showed 27 mpg! Absolutely no advantage or reason for theses woke new engines.
Nissan is the last great truck standing - who’d a thunk it?
Great to hear that!
I just purchased a 24 Nissan Titan pro4x
@@kurtbeck5809love my 21 XD you won't regret it
I bought a Frontier Pro4X in July. It’s a blast!
@@kurtbeck5809 Smart purchase.
we bought a used toyota pickup with a 22something or other engine. it was AWFUL! sometimes we would bail out because of the gasoline smell thinking it was about to explode. sometimes the engine would just... stop running. then it would randomly start up again. i dont think i want to buy another, when it came time to replace it (as soon as we could afford it) we bought an f150 thats given us only one issue... and that was with the air conditioner after 140k miles. no big deal we fixed it and now its great. zero issues with the engine or transmission. to be honest the toyota was our first commercial truck and we remember it fondly for its many quirks.
Toyota seems to be doing what other manufacturers have been doing for years. Instead of setting high standards, Toyota is pacing itself to other manufacturers to do ever so slightly more. Would you take the Ford 2.7 over Toyota’s 3.4? Maybe, but likely not. However, would you consider new Toyota engines to be over engineered like the 5.7? Nope, not even close.
Toyota switching from miles per gallon to parts per mile! More parts, more money, more problems. 22re was an irreplaceable engine, get back to roots Toyota!
I could have got the 24 Tacoma when I traded my 17 limited in. Instead I got a 23 off road. No way I’ll trust a turbo anything for reliability. Plus my truck was loaded for 44k. I’d be in the mid or upper 50’s for the 24.
I bought a new 1992 Toyota pickup - six cylinder, fwd. I sold it in 2022. It had skin cancer but otherwise never failed me.
Today, I would not touch a Toyota. They have spent decades resting on their laurels. Curses to Toyota, I want to buy a new one, but that would make me a moron.
I would guess that the price will be higher than the sticker. I wouldn't buy any Toyota this year. 2024, 2025. I would wait and let Toyota sort things out. I would not pay $50,000 for a small pickup that has some serious problems. Buyer Beware.
more expensive and made in Mexico, oems send it to Mexico to cut cost but they don't cut the price, if they pay less to be built they should be less at the msrrp. but yes oems need to make money but adding 20-30% more is really gouging all buyers
I drive a 25 year old Toyota, my mom drives a 12 year old Toyota.
Both run like a top, neither have a turbo.
Other vehicles may get a little better gas mileage, but the only thing these car goes in for is oil changes.
Haven't looked at Nissan since they joined up with Renault. I understand Nissan's financial need, but with Renault not being the height of reliability one has to wonder if they are dragging down Nissan?
Personally to me Nissan vehicles are on par or even more reliable than Toyotas ... Just got to service your vehicles on time ...
what good is better gas mileage when you lose all those saving and MORE when you have to repair the turbo motor. its false economy
Blame the EPA.
all they had to friggin do was keep the v8 as an option... i'll keep my 2015 ... damn
I want one I will admit, but the costs just keep me holding onto my 96 chevy for now.
For 2025 you can get a Nissan Pro4X with a 6 ft bed. That might be my next truck
Do you ever get run off lots for making videos? Or have the cops called?
I like" keep it simple stupid " vehicles. Reliability is king
They Used to be reliable. Imo The most reliable vehicle were 2001-2007
1970s -2007
1970’s-2020
stop making excuses for Toyota !! GM V8s are currently much better for starters...
Turbochargers are better fitted for diesel engines
I bought a loaded 2024 Pro4X in April in Boulder Pearl gray. Got a great cost off msrp with no adders. Great truck so far but it should be a little taller for for the PRO.
Meant to add I bought the Pro4x for the exact reasons you just laid out. Cost and reliability.
We enjoy your videos. Very informative.
Were from Memphis BTW
Nobody cares, Toyota sucks now
They'll get it fixed. They always do...
Toyota introduced too many new engines too soon.
I'm going to wait 3 or so years to fix the problems.
Totally agree. They’ll sort it out.
Yup, the simplicity is gone.....
Pass NISSAN…
I miss the Xtera.
Same. It was a great SUV.
@@MotorFeed 2014 pro4x was a vehicle I should have not sold. 😔
Yes butt, why does everyone hate Doug Demuro ?
They don’t hate him. What are you talking about?
Toyota will only do a rebuild on the Tundra. Only if you destroy the engine will they replace. Never as good as factory if it’s rebuilt
True you get a short block. They wont give you a long block
@@JohnS-il1dr the video said new engine and that is blatanly false. Toyota is screwing customers that bout a $60k NEW vehicle and giving the an opened rebuilt engine that is totally dependent on how good or bad the mechanic is. And no extended warranty therefore owner takes risk engine grenades sometime right after warranty due to mistake by mechanic
@@JohnS-il1dr these truck are losing tons of value and depreciating like a rock as folks are dumping after a massive rebuild and dealer potentially scratching parts. Lots of videos on poor quality control of rebuild
That’s why I bought a 2020 tundra
Nice, my 2016 is going strong!
Under the hood of the Nissan is tidy and clean looking. Looks like it was designed with pride.
This is the COVID ERA. Build and material issues will be with us for some time. Years from now, we will talk about how bad it was back in the COVID ERA. LIKE WE DO NOW ABOUT HOW BAD IT WAS IN THE MALAISE ERA OF THE 70'S.
Most people don't have a life where they can just deal with broken cars, broken transmissions, broken engines, blah blah blah and not get totally screwed at work and home. So you pay +50k for a brand new vehicle and right out of the gates there are all these problems? Why not buy something with cash and work out the bugs on your own time, save $ and tell these manufacturers to go F themselves. Consumers are becoming the testers on these things and people (and their 86 months at 8.9% financing) are lining up to the slaughter.
Transmissions have not been failing... a small batch of specific VINs had cleanliness issues in the Transmissions. Thats why there isnt a recall.
Why the hell do the new cars have the screens sticking out so far out of the dash? That makes it look like an afterthought and ugly. Blend it into the dash.
Who cares about having power and extra gas mileage when the engine blows up. I'd much rather have reliability and peace of mind knowing the truck isn't going to leave me stranded somewhere. Then have the hassle of waiting for the dealer to fix it, try to get a loaner truck. No just give me the old stuff that actually worked and wasn't bricked when a module goes haywire and costs 1k or more to replace.
If everything new is unreliable, just buy used or lease something new for 3 years. No long-term commitment.
Toyota JP needs to clean house with everyone at ToyotaUSA. What an embarrassment that once utilitarian, reliable, rugged and overbuilt truck has become. Even with regs the feds have been enforcing, they could’ve continued making a barebones manual, 4x4, N/A 4 cyl truck. Factory rear locker and skids option, and as far as “creature comforts” goes, bluetooth and that’s it.
I wish I knew my mechanic friend (met in 2018) in 2017 when my dad went to trade in his 1995 Tacoma 4x4 manual xcab with manual locks & windows.
I have a 2023 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4 V6 automatic, and from Sam’s Gas to my house I got 25.3mpg and I see highway trips on the display from 21-26 mpg. I usually average 18.3 mpg per tank with my work commute being 4.6 miles one way, so it’s mainly stop and go traffic. Starting 10/1/24 I will be driving 26 miles one way on the freeway so my tank average should go up. It will be interesting to see by how much.
It's easy to say that "Toyota will take care of their customers", such as after an engine fails, because they are doing that now for 2022 and 2023 Tundras. Which are still under warrantee. What happens if I buy a Tundra or Tacoma and drive it 100,000 miles THEN the engine fails because of manufacturing problems? At that point I'd bet that Toyota would not jump to replace engines out of warrantee.
I wish that the Tacoma had the current ergonomics and seating position but the old V-6 with a modern transmission, even a 6 speed, plus the manual transmission option.
"keeps you in the power band all the time"
FALSE!!! it keeps you UNDER the power band all the time! My 8-speed Highlander really makes me want a manual transmission.. the up-shifts are WAY too aggressive. Leaving a stop light, its 1-2-3-2-3-4-3-4-5 all thebtime because it wants to up-shift, and then you are a slug, so you throttle more, which triggers a downshift, then you back off from the reving and acceleration, then it upshifts, andblugs, then downshifts......
And then while cruising, if you want to accelerate, you give it some throttle...... Then some more, and more, then it drops down three gears and launches.
Sad.......they heard the buyers and did the opposite. Now billions lost. Who is responsible for this avoidable disaster?
Those boots he’s pushing are Chinese pieces of crap. A few bucks more and you can get REAL boots made in America!
Lol you said the Tundra's have always been under power compared to what? The model after the one you said you owned had 381 HP in 07.
I actually don't know for sure but I thought that was more hp than most if not all for a few years.
