🏆Can the Toyota Tacoma overcome its challenges and maintain its dominance in the market? 🤔 🔴ALL NEW 2025 Ford Ranger SHOCKS The Entire Car Industry WATCH HERE 👉th-cam.com/video/mSKyXJLR1l4/w-d-xo.html
The first two challenges are an underpowered engines and yet another terrible transmission. Pretty safe bet they're not going to overcome either of these.
@@RP-oy5rt there's a difference between affordable and overpriced. How does a mid sized truck cost as much as a full sized truck? 🤔 the whole meaning of being affordable is not being expensive....
@@CNS21 the value of something is what people are willing to pay. If people are buying it in mass then that’s what it’s worth. Also to compare an off road premium is the same price as an sr5 tundra but you can’t compare what you get. Also if leased the taco is much cheaper then a tundra as the 3 year value of a taco is much higher then a tundra
@@RP-oy5rt And all these issues outlined in this video will come back to haunt them Especially the upcoming unreliability that is going to manifest itself as time goes by with this four-cylinder turbo
Your surprised, that some owners reported, that when they put their trucks into neutral, they would move sometimes. And that they needed to put on the brakes. Who and the hell made this video??? Are you crazy???
That junk 4 banger with the hairdryer gets the same if not worse fuel mileage than the V6. All of this is a prime example of trying to fix something that is not broken and an overreacting government.
I absolutely loved my 2014 TRD Sport (4x2). I put 180K miles on it, and never had an issue. But it got 17 mpg on a good fill up. My 2024 SR is getting 20-22mpg in town everyday, and got 24mpg on my longest hwy trip so far. Everything is easy to get to on the engine, and I think there are great things in store for it.
Somebody doesn't know the very heritage of Toyota that made it famous in the first place. Toyota had a 2.4L turbo in the 1986 pickup. Some of them are still running. V6's are the weirdos in this platform. They lack power where it matters and need the piss revved out of them to get anywhere.
Wow, what vehicle doesn't roll if the transmission is set in neutral? I would advise you to apply the parking brake when you set your transmission in neutral. Common sense if you ask me!
The TRD pro and the trail are made in Japan but others are Mexican but do you think factory workers in the US are all Americans 😂 who do you think assembles them? I prefer JDM quality but who cares who really assembles them that what warrantees are for
I am not a Toyota hater. I’ve owned 2 tundras and 2 forerunners and I would never buy this. It’s way too underpowered and turbos are notoriously problematic.
Not necessarily more problematic. Honda has been running turbo 4’s in the Civics since 2016 and CRV in 2017. They have a very low turbo failure rate. I personally have 140k miles on my 10th gen Civic Si with the turbo 1.5L and haven’t had a single problem with the engine or turbocharger.
@@1eyedwilli3i still haven’t got my 2024 tacoma that i reserved 6 months ago. Even if i wanted to wait for that it would take 2 years before i even see it.
Welding on the rear axle goes back to the same factor the other companies have, quality control inspections have been cut just to push products out and make money. Some vehicles I like that are not Toyota have let me down with this same problem.
Agree. Bought my 2004 VW GTI when that generation was near the end of its production run. Twenty years later, the car is still my daily driver today. The newly redesigned 2006 VW GTI had arguably worse reliability and durability. I don't see the '06 models on the road anymore. The lesson for me is; let others be first adopters. I view owners of newly redesigned vehicles as paying to be an extension of the car manufacturer's R&D department. They're paying to find all of the problems the manufacturer will need to fix in future years of the same generation vehicle.
If they changed the name, then this truck wouldn't have all this hate. I had a 2006 Taco. This truck is so much better in every way from the Power/Tranny/Tech/Ride/Handling/MPG. If you got the dough you would definitely be upgrading. Off course 1st year is always the Guinea Pig. I sold my Ford Maverick Hybrid for this and man I hate to go from 40MPG to 20MPG but this is the only one with a 6ft bed with the top 4x4 Trims from all manufacturers. My Maverick had like three recalls but none that affects the car from running. Lots of quirks. I have not found any quirks on my 24 Taco yet except I can't find the odometer setting where I can set my Trip A and Trip B and reset it.
@@billw8476Have you even driven one? Or checked one out in person? All I’ve seen online are a bunch of sheep that get in line behind the complainer videos.

@@billw8476 I'll 2nd that. I bought a 2 year lease return on a '17 TRD Sport V6 with 20k on the clock for $28K back in Nov '19. I was offered $30K in cash a few months ago. Nope, I plan on keeping it till I hit 300K miles.
When the maverick can carry more weight in the bed and haul just as much as a modern taco, yet costs $50k well over the $27k maverick, you know there’s something wrong with Toyota.
Truck rolls after putting it in neutral? I understand there’s another bigger problem. If you want to hear music or talk radio, you won’t get any sound at ALL unless you turn on the radio!!!! And to make matters worse, if the truck transmission is in park you’ll find the truck won’t move.

Great engine, the 2017 - 2020 had subpar cam phasers....good thing you got the 2016.... unfortunately yours has the INTERNAL water pump...and if the bearing in water pump has a catastrophic failure instead of standard failure you can get coolant in the engine and destroy it!....better prematurely change the water pump, but with 175K I assume you already did or previous owner....?
I Think alot of the changes are good! I have to call out Toyota on what is a problem for me. You go to a Turbo Charged 4cyl That means more parts, More Heat and More stress. You can't have a Turbo and expect the same dependability and reliability. Your net gain is 1 to 2 MPG good grief that's not worth it!!! The other issue is when I buy a 40,000 dollar truck you could put better speakers than 7.00dollar speakers.

Thank you Toyota! You have just increased the value of my 2017 TRD access cab. 6 cylinder, automatic and a 6 foot box. GREAT TRUCK! Yes; you either love or hate the driving position, but, once you get used to it, you can love it forever. The new Tacoma, with only a crew cab and a 6 foot box, is almost the size of a Tundra. TOO BIG! At least once a week, someone asks me if I was thinking of selling it. This is my fourth Tacoma, and will probably be the last. BULLETPROOF AND CUTE TOO!
Beside all the problems. I will never buy the 4 cylinder mid size Tacoma especially for what they want for them. They have lost their ever loving minds. . I have a feeling others feel the same way. Toyota just shot themselves in the foot when they didn't offer a 6 cylinder version. They can just sit and rot on the dealers lot as far as I care.
I think we've reached diminishing returns when it comes to being environmentally friendly. On one hand, on paper the car is more efficient at producing more power with less fuel. On the other, the myriad of problems that it causes makes it resource intensive and uneconomical to fix. Thus, the customer would probably scrap the car sooner than later. The way products are being produced in today's modern corporate world. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an intentional decision to force consumers to keep buying or spending their products.
this guy seems very biased for whatever his reasons may be, but who in the hell would start their car/trk and put it in neutral ??? AND if needed to, why would you not set the emergency brake ! ? !
Who put this video together. Truck rolls when put in Neutral? No shit it rolls - put it in park like everyone does and it won't roll. This has got to be bankrolled by Ford or Chevy
Even before I started seeing the various reports on the 24 model, I vowed I would never buy another. I have had so many disappointments on the previous 2016 models. Mine is a 17. Poor visibility over the higher hood height when off roading ( seat and roof height remained the same old low height) , throttle and six speed trans coordinate poorly with gas pedal action, towing capacity dropped from previous models bigger powered V6 and lastly, I tent camp a lot alone and I set in the drivers seat many an hour having some beers listening to the dash radio and to keep the screen glare off you have to fish through a four sequence process to blank it out and then you have to use the interior light to reconnect to other functions!
The iforce Max It's not a plugin hybrid. I am skeptical tho of the new powetrain, but look at all the other trucks in its class. They are all going to turbo four cylanders. So I do not quite understand this argument that it's worse because it has a four banger. This engine has been around for two years now, and its been on other platforms, and there have not been many issues surrounding them. I think it's best to give it a couple of years to shake out the bugs and not just give up on a beloved truck because people don't understand that change does take time.
💯 Anyone who buys the first year of a redesign is a very expensive beta tester. Best to buy the last least of an outgoing generation to get the most reliable version. Especially nowadays with blistering level of change and increased complexity of vehicles, largely brought on by ever increasing government mandates.
Not sure why you're calling it economical....I get the same mileage in my 23 as my 24. 18 to 21 MPG average per tank. What the heck was the point of a 4 cyl if the milage wasn't improved? If they had just upgraded the look and left the power plant intact, the result would have been much better. All those complainers who were bitching about the lag.....This is your fault!!! I will take lag over this new 4 cyl any day!
Option out leaf springs for higher trims. WHAT? All the serious overland and off road drivers install coil over adjustable shocks and throw the leaf springs in the trash. Every serious lift is all coil over.
An ALL NEW Tacoma with the same old, outdated Gloomy Grey and Death Black interior colors that became popular in 1990. Geez, that was during the last Millennium
LOL, I get the same MPG as the I4 Turbo in my V6 TRD Sport plus I HATE the new interior. Looks so cheap, square and sharp lines. When it comes time to replace, I'll be looking at Nisson.
Why is the government paying automakers to build and sell us this crap we don’t want? Let them build whatever and may the better brand win. They must be getting tons of government money
No plug in hybrid, as far as I know. Only parallel hybrid available as an option. Toyota is making a larger and heavier truck with a smaller engine. That's asking for trouble. Manufacturing in Mexico instead of Texas doesn't help. They also cost a lot more.
I did not regret buying my 3rd gen tacoma. What I regret that Toyota took jobs to Mexico to make 2024 pos Tacoma. If I want turbo charge, Ill buy sports car. Right now Im shopping for my son truck either Ranger or Ridgeline. At least they are V6 either American made n Japanese quality made. Another lies that economy is to blame n that is the lowest excuses. Toyota already paying American labor of pathetic rate of $15/hr n now Mexican of $2.75/he with retail of TRD $60kplus tax on 4 cylinder.
I had 2020 2.7. I heard last year they were doing away with 3.5 in Tacoma. Last Aug 23 I got 2023 trdsport 4dr 4×4. Love it. Probably won't be doing the 2.4t ever
The Tacoma, while a good entry level vehicle has been taking advantage of buyers by not updating the truck while -upscaling the price. Toyota was failing its customers and realized it was time for an update. While the new motor and transmission have caused concern the vehicle still needed the update. Toyota is feeling the same pains as many of the top truck manufacturers. More power, better fuel mileage, better towing capability, more comfort all come with their negatives. All Manufacturers are dealing with electronic transmission and engine issues related to it. If Toyota wishes to stay in the front in their niche they must make the adjustments as a trade off. More money equals better performance as a whole.
No, there is no plug-in hybrid version of the new Tacoma. Virtually all of your "complaints" are not substantiated, just a lot of worry wart nonsense. Ooh, the Turbo 4 is sooo complicated! Wow.
I love Toyota but id they don't get their shit together i will find someone else. Currently owner of a tacoma 2018 off road. Love this truck but not too sure about trading😢
Your mechanical knowledge is obviously lacking. If you believe putting a small four-cylinder motor with a turbo on it in a large truck is going to lead to anything other than trouble.
I always have been, and still trying to be a big Toyota fan, owned all my driving life. But everything you said in video, and same with the Tundra. There goes Toyota's well known RELIABLE and DEPENDABILITY out the window. I have 2014 Toyota Tundra, and when I upgrade to a new one, it will be to a 2021 and under. I like to keep many Toyota's for at least 300,000 + miles with just normal maintenance. I have to see it to believe it to happen to the new Tundra that looks like a Tacoma on steroids lol. If the new Tundra gets to 300,000 miles, I'm sure it will come with a hefty maintenance bill along the way!
Never buy a new generation of any vehicle for at least year three. If the manufacturer was smart they would provide 5 year bumber to bumber warranty or 60,000 miles on the vehicle. Right now the bumper to bumper is 3 years or 36,000 miles. They could drop it down to the standard 3 year warranty after year 3 of the car and the kinks have been mostly worked out.
The US EPA's insanely stringent CAFE regulations and "greenhouse" gas reduction mandates are what has forced all manufactures to nearly complete switch from simple durable naturally aspirated engines to very complex, expensive, temperamental, tiny, turbocharged engines; and extremely complicated 9-10 speed transmissions. If tiny turbo engines were superior to natural aspirated engines manufactures would have been using them all along. They're not.
Most of the comments I've reviewed come from folks who have no mechanical knowledge, and prob can't even open the hood. I've watched folks who have no clue how to even off road. Off road 101; keep it slow and use minimal torque, high RPM will break parts on any vehicle. If your in a hurry, buy a vette and stick to the road. I've raced 4WDs and bikes for years with minimal damage.
Everyone: Please Toyota! Give the Tacoma a better transmission! Toyota: You want a better transmission? Everyone: Yes!!! Toyota: 2024! I give you the 8 speed Tacoma!!! Turbocharged 4 cylinder and a hybrid option! Everyone: WTF! Toyota: We got you a better transmission, STFU.
I just bought my first Tacoma, a 2024 TRD Offroad. You're absolutely right about there not being any recalls. Will there be recalls in the future? Probably, but it's like with every brand on the market, they all have had or will have recalls. I believe that most of the people that leave the stupid comments about the new Tacoma being unreliable, having recalls, etc... have never had one. People should stop watching these videos, me included, and buy what they want.
This is why you never buy a first year redesigned Anything The engine Is totally different everything is changed on the trucks Four wheel drive system, transmission. Wait a year and the bugs will be worked out just like the new tundras had issues for the first year Production.
Anything above 6 speeds is an utter waste on a pickup. Makes them very unresponsive - kind of a FORD with a 10 speed automatic. Transmission always seems to be going - What do I do? What do I do? Is this gear right, no? How about this gear?
i drove the new 2024. i love everything about it except that 4 banger turbo. it won't be a long lasting truck with that engine. too much failure history with turbos in general
Videos like this are ridiculous. I absolutely love my 2024 Tacoma. The new 4 cylinder turbo is awesome. The multimedia system is great. They’ve gotten too expensive, but I had my last two Tacos for ten years each and see no reason why I won’t have my ‘24 for ten…….and do nothing but change the oil and put gas in it.

The neutral issue is the same for the tundra which goes back to the power house. The motor with the electric motor combination.
Beside all the problems. I will never buy the 4 cylinder mid size Tacoma especially for what they want for them. They have lost their ever loving minds. . I have a feeling others feel the same way. Toyota just shot themselves in the foot when they didn't offer a 6 cylinder version. They can just sit and rot on the dealers lot as far as I care.
I think we've reached diminishing returns when it comes to being environmentally friendly. On one hand, on paper the car is more efficient at producing more power with less fuel. On the other, the myriad of problems that it causes makes it resource intensive and uneconomical to fix. Thus, the customer would probably scrap the car sooner than later. The way products are being produced in today's modern corporate world. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an intentional decision to force consumers to keep buying or spending their products.
Sure a lot of it might do this or that. I see a Ford or Frontier guy behind this video
Or jeep
I'm leaning towards a frontier after what happened with TFLs blueberry tacoma. I don't trust the new tacoma with turbo.
@@diz_guy47 do some research on Nissan plenty of issues
this guy seems very biased for whatever his reasons may be, but who in the hell would start their car/trk and put it in neutral ???
AND if needed to, why would you not set the emergency brake ! ? !
If you need to instal an after market brake controller it's a nightmare . No plug in port .
The new Tacoma STILL offers leaf springs in the lower trims
Who put this video together. Truck rolls when put in Neutral? No shit it rolls - put it in park like everyone does and it won't roll. This has got to be bankrolled by Ford or Chevy
Drowning in recalls? I can find NO recalls on the 2024 Tacoma, yet. Most of your conclusions are conjecture. In my opinion.
Funny how no one is ragging on the Colorado & Canyon for having turbo 4’s
Even before I started seeing the various reports on the 24 model, I vowed I would never buy another. I have had so many disappointments on the previous 2016 models. Mine is a 17. Poor visibility over the higher hood height when off roading ( seat and roof height remained the same old low height) , throttle and six speed trans coordinate poorly with gas pedal action, towing capacity dropped from previous models bigger powered V6 and lastly, I tent camp a lot alone and I set in the drivers seat many an hour having some beers listening to the dash radio and to keep the screen glare off you have to fish through a four sequence process to blank it out and then you have to use the interior light to reconnect to other functions!
Who cares about the horsepower, I want an engine that will last 250 k plus miles., this new one will not last 100k miles
60,000 or less.
The 4WD version can have the front engaged wheels DISENGAGE during MILD off roading!
The iforce Max It's not a plugin hybrid. I am skeptical tho of the new powetrain, but look at all the other trucks in its class. They are all going to turbo four cylanders. So I do not quite understand this argument that it's worse because it has a four banger. This engine has been around for two years now, and its been on other platforms, and there have not been many issues surrounding them. I think it's best to give it a couple of years to shake out the bugs and not just give up on a beloved truck because people don't understand that change does take time.
Toyota needs to make a pickup not a highway car
The unfortunate reality is that most people want tough looking mall-crawling air-haulers.
i tell all my friends to avoid 1st gens of any car maker and wait for the second or third gen
💯 Anyone who buys the first year of a redesign is a very expensive beta tester.
Best to buy the last least of an outgoing generation to get the most reliable version. Especially nowadays with blistering level of change and increased complexity of vehicles, largely brought on by ever increasing government mandates.
Not sure why you're calling it economical....I get the same mileage in my 23 as my 24. 18 to 21 MPG average per tank.
What the heck was the point of a 4 cyl if the milage wasn't improved? If they had just upgraded the look and left the power plant intact, the result would have been much better. All those complainers who were bitching about the lag.....This is your fault!!! I will take lag over this new 4 cyl any day!
Was thinking of trading my 2019 SR5 v6 . For a 2024 guess not
Option out leaf springs for higher trims. WHAT? All the serious overland and off road drivers install coil over adjustable shocks and throw the leaf springs in the trash. Every serious lift is all coil over.
An ALL NEW Tacoma with the same old, outdated Gloomy Grey and Death Black interior colors that became popular in 1990.
Geez, that was during the last Millennium
LOL, I get the same MPG as the I4 Turbo in my V6 TRD Sport plus I HATE the new interior. Looks so cheap, square and sharp lines. When it comes time to replace, I'll be looking at Nisson.
Why is the government paying automakers to build and sell us this crap we don’t want? Let them build whatever and may the better brand win. They must be getting tons of government money
No plug in hybrid, as far as I know. Only parallel hybrid available as an option. Toyota is making a larger and heavier truck with a smaller engine. That's asking for trouble. Manufacturing in Mexico instead of Texas doesn't help. They also cost a lot more.
I did not regret buying my 3rd gen tacoma. What I regret that Toyota took jobs to Mexico to make 2024 pos Tacoma. If I want turbo charge, Ill buy sports car. Right now Im shopping for my son truck either Ranger or Ridgeline. At least they are V6 either American made n Japanese quality made. Another lies that economy is to blame n that is the lowest excuses. Toyota already paying American labor of pathetic rate of $15/hr n now Mexican of $2.75/he with retail of TRD $60kplus tax on 4 cylinder.
I had the choice of a 23 or 24 Tacoma TRD Off Road with the Premium pkg and a 6’ bed.
Naturally I chose the 23
So did I. Bought the premium 23 sport TRD package just to get my hands on the last of the battle tested 6 cyl automatic. Glad I did.
@@TheDirthound Long live the Naturally Aspirated 3.5L V6
I had 2020 2.7. I heard last year they were doing away with 3.5 in Tacoma. Last Aug 23 I got 2023 trdsport 4dr 4×4. Love it. Probably won't be doing the 2.4t ever
Yessir
@@Doc1855
I love my '17 TRD Sport V6 ext cab 6' bed.
The Tacoma, while a good entry level vehicle has been taking advantage of buyers by not updating the truck while -upscaling the price. Toyota was failing its customers and realized it was time for an update. While the new motor and transmission have caused concern the vehicle still needed the update. Toyota is feeling the same pains as many of the top truck manufacturers. More power, better fuel mileage, better towing capability, more comfort all come with their negatives. All Manufacturers are dealing with electronic transmission and engine issues related to it.
If Toyota wishes to stay in the front in their niche they must make the adjustments as a trade off. More money equals better performance as a whole.
No, there is no plug-in hybrid version of the new Tacoma. Virtually all of your "complaints" are not substantiated, just a lot of worry wart nonsense. Ooh, the Turbo 4 is sooo complicated! Wow.
I used to love Tacomas. Own 2 now. Will not buy again on the new mexican made units.
I love Toyota but id they don't get their shit together i will find someone else. Currently owner of a tacoma 2018 off road. Love this truck but not too sure about trading😢
The new Tundra has serious engine problems, if you make it to 10k miles consider that a success
Whatever! Anti Toyota, haters make this vid !!! Typical whiners 😭
As a Toyota fanboy and Tacoma owner I wouldn’t touch this truck for at least 3 years if ever
More like typical Toyota deniers.
@@tactlcal_bacon_bits4773please tell us, in your all-knowing wisdom, what trouble- free truck you recommend
Your mechanical knowledge is obviously lacking. If you believe putting a small four-cylinder motor with a turbo on it in a large truck is going to lead to anything other than trouble.
I own a '17 TRD Sport with a V6. I plan on keeping it till 300K miles.
Tacoma is going down the wrong road for the owners that use them for WORK.
I always have been, and still trying to be a big Toyota fan, owned all my driving life. But everything you said in video, and same with the Tundra. There goes Toyota's well known RELIABLE and DEPENDABILITY out the window. I have 2014 Toyota Tundra, and when I upgrade to a new one, it will be to a 2021 and under. I like to keep many Toyota's for at least 300,000 + miles with just normal maintenance. I have to see it to believe it to happen to the new Tundra that looks like a Tacoma on steroids lol. If the new Tundra gets to 300,000 miles, I'm sure it will come with a hefty maintenance bill along the way!
Huh? The Tacoma is NOT a plug-in hybrid, and the hybrid variant isn't even a plug-in... that wouldn't make any sense
Lame video, this video is all based on assumptions and not actual issues
I won’t be buying one and I have been Toyota loyal since 1986
keep it I don't wanted
Never buy a new generation of any vehicle for at least year three. If the manufacturer was smart they would provide 5 year bumber to bumber warranty or 60,000 miles on the vehicle. Right now the bumper to bumper is 3 years or 36,000 miles. They could drop it down to the standard 3 year warranty after year 3 of the car and the kinks have been mostly worked out.
I’ll stick with the Nissan frontier
I want to see a small 8 cylinder
too much money and too many issues.
Big problems. People paid tens of thousands of their hard earned money for what? My 21 year old truck runs perfect. Sue everybody!
The US EPA's insanely stringent CAFE regulations and "greenhouse" gas reduction mandates are what has forced all manufactures to nearly complete switch from simple durable naturally aspirated engines to very complex, expensive, temperamental, tiny, turbocharged engines; and extremely complicated 9-10 speed transmissions. If tiny turbo engines were superior to natural aspirated engines manufactures would have been using them all along. They're not.
Most of the comments I've reviewed come from folks who have no mechanical knowledge, and prob can't even open the hood. I've watched folks who have no clue how to even off road. Off road 101; keep it slow and use minimal torque, high RPM will break parts on any vehicle. If your in a hurry, buy a vette and stick to the road. I've raced 4WDs and bikes for years with minimal damage.
false consumer's issues ?🤪
or 🧐
tacomas haters ?😤
Everyone: Please Toyota! Give the Tacoma a better transmission!
Toyota: You want a better transmission?
Everyone: Yes!!!
Toyota: 2024! I give you the 8 speed Tacoma!!! Turbocharged 4 cylinder and a hybrid option!
Everyone: WTF!
Toyota: We got you a better transmission, STFU.
I talked to a dealer this week. He said there is no recalls on the new Toyota tacoma.
I just bought my first Tacoma, a 2024 TRD Offroad. You're absolutely right about there not being any recalls. Will there be recalls in the future? Probably, but it's like with every brand on the market, they all have had or will have recalls.
I believe that most of the people that leave the stupid comments about the new Tacoma being unreliable, having recalls, etc... have never had one. People should stop watching these videos, me included, and buy what they want.
This person is afraid of progress and technology the last gen is 12 years old...the only problem is price of all models
And no V-6 engine .
This is why you never buy a first year redesigned Anything The engine Is totally different everything is changed on the trucks Four wheel drive system, transmission. Wait a year and the bugs will be worked out just like the new tundras had issues for the first year Production.
There are recalls. Research before claiming otherwise. Parts failures
Exactly. Right now Ford leads all vehicles in the last two years for recalls. All major manufacturers have recalls to varying degrees.
I disagree. I think it has a small problem, that being that little 4 cylinder engine with the turbo under the hood of that large truck.😂😂😂😂
Anything above 6 speeds is an utter waste on a pickup. Makes them very unresponsive - kind of a FORD with a 10 speed automatic. Transmission always seems to be going - What do I do? What do I do? Is this gear right, no? How about this gear?
No, it’s not the transmission that is confused, it’s you obviously
Love my 2008 tacoma
i drove the new 2024. i love everything about it except that 4 banger turbo. it won't be a long lasting truck with that engine. too much failure history with turbos in general
The Mexican manufacturing plant is not up to speed. Time to make the Taco in America again.
its not plug in hybrid
Sad. I wanted to get into one of these trucks. I wanted a vsix. Sick of this downsizing and sick of Electric as well. Everything woke turns to trash
Lies, toyotas farts dont stink.
Videos like this are ridiculous. I absolutely love my 2024 Tacoma. The new 4 cylinder turbo is awesome. The multimedia system is great. They’ve gotten too expensive, but I had my last two Tacos for ten years each and see no reason why I won’t have my ‘24 for ten…….and do nothing but change the oil and put gas in it.
I won't be buying one--
cost reduction gone wrong
I really enjoy the recalls Toyota, Chrysler, General Motors, Ford are having ❤😂
Neutral? Put the truck in PARK
I can get two V 8 Titan for the Price of one V6 Thundra. Turbo more parts to break. 4 cylinder 😝
Lost my buiness I will buy older trucks I can afford & trucks I can work on
It does not come as a PHEV
This go green B.S. is so irritating.
Not to mention, there is no such thing as "green."
It’s absolute junk. Toyota just messed up big time….so sad
