I got the 4th gen. Babying around potholes right now to keep from bottoming out. No bump stop in the front. Looking to put additional support mount on top of the strut so my strut don't pop up when aluminum strut mount break. Maybe a future recall.
My Trailhunter is incredible to drive. “Over working a 4 cylinder” is what I read a lot. The truck hardly ever goes over 3500 rpm’s, it doesn’t need to. Boost stays low unless you hammer down. Time will tell on reliability. But I absolutely love the way it drives.
The folks saying that are the ones who buy heritage colors, but have no idea what heritage means. Turbo Toyotas have been reliable and long lasting since the 1986 pickup. All these Johnny come lately v6 owners think they're the standard and they couldn't be more wrong
@@mtnyotaswhat do you think about no bump stop? Have you come across issue because of it? If yes, any solution? I bought mine recently & I'm babying it to avoid any kind of bottoming it out situation. I Did not buy this truck to baby it.
Appreciated the positive comments at the end of the video and liked the forthright “x needs to happen to achieve y result and z will be the cost.” I would love to try and find a way to give you my business for my ‘24 Taco but I’m in the Bay Area these days. I used to live not far from where your shop is.
Tons of great points in this video. I know the negative clickbait on YT will have scared some buyers away, but educate yourself, think with reason and logic and you'll soon realize most things on the internet tend to get blown way out of proportion.
Are you just running stock Tundra springs? How does it do with all the weight? Does it lift it any? Getting the Icon lift, but running on bump stops with RSI and full kitchen stock suspension.
The shocks have internal bump stops and they're not handling bottom-outs well, obviously... we're big proponents of upgrading suspension here on any vehicle either way. We haven't personally seen any suspension failures on stock 2024s, but we know it has happened a few times.
Thank you! We recommend finding a good dealership that's used to aftermarket trucks... Mountain States Toyota in Colorado is our recommended spot that always does the right thing, even when they don't "need" to do the right thing.
I will keep my 3rd gen and I will wish the 4th gen owners to have all the fun in the world with their new trucks ✌️ too much gatekeeping and trash talking these days on something that should always be fun and accessible for everyone. If you’re not doing the thing like the team at Mountain Yotas, then you’re probably not doing the thing at all
I'm reading a lot of comments on here about how the 4th gen videos of it breaking are "click bait". How is that the case? Is it not important information to share with potential buyers? Also, how can anyone reconcile the purchase cost with the need to mod? Absolutly, the geometric differences are favorable for us to add to and tinker with the truck, but at the cost of 70-90k (CAD), how is that "Toyota thinkung of us"? Has the target market become the street queen yuppie working in finance? It is more than reasonable that potential owners are unwilling to commit to a 4th gen, especially the first year of it, given everything surrounding it. I just hope the 4runner gets sorted out before it hits the floors.
Every single new gen has issues that get worked out... we haven't seen anything that's beyond the norm for any vehicle regarding "new issues" and the reports are showing an extremely small sample size that is being completely blown out of proportion for the sake of views from "influencers". Toyota made it easier for shops to modify these trucks, which was why we said they're thinking about us... that's a big reason why people like Toyotas too, as the aftermarket support is fantastic and part of their corporate strategy.
@mtnyotas For sure, the first year is the hardest for any new gen, but critical aspects of the design, like the bump stops, are not likely going to be altered for future years. Toyota is trying to be too innovative in areas where consistency is the wiser path. I understand that making the truck "mod friendly" is great, but Toyota is charging a crazy amount of money these days for that "feature", and I'm not speaking to only the 4th gens. The company has taken the Tacoma away from being a low-cost reliable platform that anyone could afford, to now being bloated and over engineered pavement princess. When anyone spends what they do on a Pro, they'd expect a turn-key off-road machine, and would be right in doing so. GM seems to have taken that crown for now. All that said, you are correct that the sample size is very small. I'm very interested in seeing what 2025 brings for the 4th gen. I'm not optimistic, but I do hope that things turn around.
Thank you. I scrolled down to comment section while the video is starting and saw this. Leaving after about 20 seconds. I hate clickbait videos that waste my time.
haters have never driven a 4th gen - jus sayin' 🙅♂
💯

People forget that it’s 2024, engineering is pretty good 😊
Better then the 2024 pro?

Just bought the 2023 trd pro love it
I love the transparency in this video! Great looking truck
As a Tacoma content creator myself I can’t stand the negativity and clickbait. Great video
Thanks man, we were going for “positive clickbait” lol

I’m most likely purchasing one end of next year after my lease is up.
You think 4th gens will still hold their value as well as 3rd?
Are you just running stock Tundra springs? How does it do with all the weight? Does it lift it any? Getting the Icon lift, but running on bump stops with RSI and full kitchen stock suspension.
Beautiful!
What do you think about the videos popping up the last 2 weeks of suspension failures due to the lack of external frame mounted bump stops?

Love my 4th Gen!
Great build👍🏾🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great build..🤙🏽
Really nice breakdown of costs associated with the truck!
Glad you liked it!
I sure like my 2024 tacoma TRD off-road
Me to manual 5800km and really enjoying it
4th Gen Shreds!
Holy moly!! She didn’t blow like we thought
Awesome content. How are the dealers with warranty for new truck?

GOT ‘EM 😂
I love my 24 Sport. Such a big upgrade from my 23 Off Road
Agreed, but you should add a locker :-)
If I may, what model of this 2024 4th Gen Tacoma is in this video please including the length of the bed? Thank you very much.
Short Bed TRD Off-Road
@@mtnyotas thank you very much.
The prices are total BS. I'm glad I like my stock 2wD Double cab. I don't go off road. Thanks for your video.
Is this tacoma used unleaded 89? ??what gas it used?
Yes, unleaded mid grade.
Honestly I got half a mind to drive to Colorado and have a rig built out in a similar way to y’all’s. Only issue… I don’t have a Tacoma
Appreciate that man. What do you drive?
I've seen this rig in town, the pureblind graphics hit!!
Yeah they kill it every time!
Nice setup. Simply n nice
Thanks!
I'm holding out for the new 5th Gen, 2 Cylinder, Twin-turbo...the gas mileage is gonna be GREAT!!!
😂
ITS BECAUSE YOURE DRIVING THAT CHEVY
LOL that guy was wild.
