👁 About this video : In today's video it's time to drive a manual transmission third generation Toyota Tacoma for the first time!! After owning mine for just over three years now, I have never been behind the wheel of the manual so this was definitely a cool experience! I'm not new to manuals, I just feel like they are better suited for sportscar and it's more engaging to me to drive around in a manual sportscar! My opinion has changed some after driving this manual Tacoma! Would I buy one after driving this??? I don't think I would trade mine for one, but at some point I would buy another Tacoma along side mine and get the manual for sure! I was so impressed with how it did in the grass at slow speeds with the clutch feel and not even having to touch it as much as I thought. Coming from the sportscar side where you need to feather the clutch as slow speeds, this was really cool to see! I could definitely see going offroad and utilizing the manual for better control! Also on the road, you can of course holds gears better and it's very smooth and easy to drive! The shifter is much longer then I'm use to in a car, but it's still a lot of fun!!

Oh you youngsters, I remember when every Toyota was a stick shift😊
Haha yeah! Unfortunately they just aren't as popular anymore, but still so much fun to drive!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed that’s because no one knows how to drive a car without the computers in the car helping them.
@@The07gt Or the other hand on a phone!
I have no shame being a youngster. Nor do I have any shame that I've never purchased an auto car. Manual all day old timer 😁
'When Columbo on the Santa Victoria discovered Santa Monica Beach & later Catalina & Avalon Harbour
2019 Tacoma TRD Off-road 6 speed MT owner here... I would never change her for an automatic transmission, love her every inch of it.
That's awesome! Tacomas are great trucks! I love mine, but maybe one day I'll add a manual to the garage!
Lol manual Tacoma owners are cringey
How in the world did you find a manual Tacoma? Not a single dealer near me had one.
Not a big deal got the auto truck for big outdoor adventures and I have my 6 speed manual mustang for weekend drives
@@DavyDave1313 This dealer randomly had a trade in with this one! Didn't even know it was a manual until I opened the door and found the surprise! But same as you I got the auto truck and a manual r8 as the fun car to drive!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed well that's a fun surprise! Glad to hear it brother we gotta have our toys!!!!
I’ll never stray from my manual transmission. I love it. Only automatic I had was my car in high school as that was a used car I purchased. As soon as I finished college in 2002, and started working full time and could afford new car... standard all the way. You’re much more in control of the vehicle and I like that I spend less $ on brake maintenance. Plus it’s an easy theft deterrent. Haha. Barely anyone knows how to drive a standard these days. I LOVE MY 2019 TACOMA TRD SPORT
It's definitely a good theft device for sure! I love manuals too so maybe one day I'll pick up a manual tacoma!
Currently own 2017 TRD OR manual. Bought it new. Have 29k miles. Did not consider an auto. Commute in Atlanta traffic. No problems.
That's awesome! First time in one and it's fun, I might have to get one some day!
2018 TRD Pro 6-speed manual here, I really love it. I had a Focus ST before, and couldn’t go back to a automatic. Trails are much more fun, able to choose shift points, and nobody asks to borrow the truck.
Very cool!! The manual in the Tacoma was really fun for sure! I might have to pick one up some day!
hey man current subaru STI owner here. do you miss the focus ST? im thinking about getting a stick shift taco but im worried im gonna miss the sti
@@nickvolpe7521 you definitely won’t regret it, but watch out for holes in the frame if it sees lots of winter driving in salt. (Mainly 2nd gens 3rd gens are still pretty new)
I have a 21 TRD Pro in manual, I love this truck. I was told at the dealership that Toyota only makes 5% of Tacoma’s in manual. I had to order it, took 5 months.
I believe it! I knew it was a very small percentage and they don't even have them on the lots. If they do, it's already pre sold or somehow one came in! Definitely fun in the Tacoma!
There’s a manual Tacoma trd off road 4x4 brand new near me that’sway under the cost of the automatics near me. (Would be saving about $7k). But I’ve never driven a manual before. Some of my friends say I’ll regret it and others say to get it. Would it be that hard to learn?
@@reecealeck8314 If you have the right person to teach you. This manual is very easy to drive.
There is no ordering with Toyota. It's called a allocation. The dealer has to get a allocation for that specific spec'ed vehicle. I just got lucky since a local dealer just got a allocation for a LR TRD OR 6sp manual. Salesman texted me this morning asking if was something I would interested in. Hell yea, slapped down a $500 deposit. When I might actually see it is a whole different story. I still have and am keeping my 17 4R TRDP in cement, so it makes waiting a lot easier.
When you special ordered your taco w manual, did you also begin the finance process then and there, (buying it outright then and there) or just submit down payment on good faith?
Trade your automatic Taco for a manual Taco and you will not regret, greetings from Honduras🇭🇳, the country where Tacomas and Hilux are the people's favorites😎🤟🏻
That's pretty cool! I've never seen a hilux! But I'm thinking a project manual Tacoma one day!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Here in Honduras the Hilux is sold in 3 versions: the Hilux, single cab, extra cab(access cab) with the great 2.4 turbodiesel engine, and the double cab version with the 2.4 and 2.8 turbodiesel engine, and all the Hilux version came with manual or automatic transmission but the most popular here are the extra cab(access cab), and if you want a Tacoma you have to import it from the United States, but Hilux and Tacoma are the most popular here, we will be looking forward to your new project with a manual Tacoma, greetings guys💪🏻😎
Great video. Real drivers drive a manual lol :-)
Haha yeah! At least I have one :) but it's cool in the Tacoma for sure!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I love my manual TRD OFFROAD... that being said get one you will NOT regret it (get the OFFROAD for the ATRAC and rear locking differential). Went with manual because I enjoy it engaging and less common.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed if you get the manual transmission i guarantee you will get more subscribers as I can only think of one other channel who has a manual and it is a mall Crawler...
@@SimplyCarReviews That would be cool for sure! I think a project Tacoma would be sweet with a manual! So maybe one day!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed nice 👌if I was close to you I'd let you wheel my Tacoma on your channel... but then I'm afraid you won't give it back...😕🥺
Ordered my Taco last week. Army Green TRD Off Road. Manual. More control over the vehicle. More fun. No contest.
Congrats! You'll definitely enjoy it for sure!! If love to try a manual offroad and really get a feel for it!!
Keep us update on how the new Tacoma is. What's your channel?
The Army Green is a sweet color for it!
I got one ☝️
I have a quick question. I am looking for a truck with manual tranny. Why did you choose to have Tacoma instead of other trucks?
I daily a manual 2nd gen and I used to daily my manual 95 Wrangler. I love driving stick. My dad has the auto in his 3rd gen TRD sport 4x4. He wishes he would have gotten the manual
Oh wow! I love my truck and don't regret buying it, but maybe at some point I'll get a manual and build it as a fun offroader!
I'd choose a manual.
I love my Stick Shift car.
The manual in the Tacoma was pretty cool for sure! What kind of manual do you have?
I am so very happy that Toyota decided to keep the manual 6 speed transmission. For us guys who not only know how to drive one but can also appreciate it for just what it's always been meant to be. FUN ! ENJOY!
It's pretty cool that Toyota still offers that for sure! It's neat to see in a truck!
I just bought a 2019 TRD off road manual transmission, and I've been watching every video on TH-cam that talks about manual tacomas 😂
Very cool, congrats! The manual in the Tacoma is definitely a lot of fun!
Get the manual. Core hurst short shifter, weighted knob, accumulator delete and ovtune will change your life. Traffic isn’t bad either, you can crawl in first with no gas around 1-3mph so stop and go traffic hasnt been an issue for me at all. Also has hill hold, so you wont roll back for ~2 seconds with your foot on the clutch until you release. And i still have adaptive cruise control, which will stay on when shifting in my 2020 sport
I realized that with the clutch out in my car I'm going 4-5 mph, so it's much different in the truck when it goes 1mph. So I could see it being better in slow traffic situations! It's definitely cool to see a manual Tacoma!
I have a 2017 tacoma TRD sport 4x4 manual transmission. I specifically sought out a manual tacoma and bought it brand new. I have already put 80,000 miles on it and have taken it on some pretty tough trails. I love it on and off road! I just love driving it!
That's sweet to hear! Very similar to the one I drove, this had 70K miles on it! It's definitely a lot of fun so maybe one day I'll pick one up!
I'm about to buy a new Tacoma, and you helped me make my decision and I thank you for the inspiring video. It's been a while since I had a manual transmission vehicle, but want one. In fact, I don't need 4 wheel drive, but to get the manual transmission I will get one.
Very cool! The manual in the Tacoma is definitely cool and it's awesome that Toyota still offers that! You'll enjoy it for sure!
I love my manual shift Tacoma! Mine is a 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. I originally wanted an automatic, but the truck I fell in love with when test driving it, happened to be a manual shift, half the vehicles I've owned. have been manual shift, including motorcycles, so definitely not a deal breaker! Since purchasing this truck, I'm really glad I did go with the manual shift!
Thanks for sharing! I think it's cool that Toyota still offers that for the Tacoma!
Dude, I like that silver! Yeah the hood would be awesome for your Tacoma
The silver is sweet, and yeah maybe a hood mod one day!!
I’m getting a 3rd gen soon and I’ll be getting a automatic because I do a lot of driving to cities and have traffic a lot, but if you’re very comfortable with the manual I say go for it.
Either way, the Tacoma is a great truck! Definitely cool to try out the manual! Maybe I'll get one some day!
I take delivery of my TRD pro in lunar rock and in manual next week. Literally been waiting 6 months.
Same here
Oh dang! Congrats!! I think that's really the only way to get one is to order it unless you happen to find the right used one, but they seem to be impossible to find for the most part!
That's not too long of a wait though for the right truck!
I wish they made a double cab, long bed, MT (all 3) in either the TRD Offroad or TRD Sport. You have to give one up, so for me I'm giving up the double cab. Going with the 2023 TRD Sport, MT, with access cab in order to get a 6' bed.
It’s interesting how they configure the manuals and options with it!
Lack of 6’ bed double cab in the manual is the only thing stopping me! The 6’ bed is still worlds better for the dirt bikes. Great to see your input and makes me think!
I have the 5' bed and haul two dirtbikes or two motorcycles with no issues (not at the same time of course)! It can be done and I use the bed a lot! I still don't think the tailgate can be closed unless the bikes are sideways, but to each their own! I like the shorter bed for clearance offroad!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I just like being able to close the gate with my bike in the back, makes it easier to have her loaded and ready to go! Might have to switch over though for my next build as the manual seems extremely fun! My 2015 build just hit 76,000 miles and the values are absurd and it’s tempting to start another! Keep killin these videos! Love the input especially with manual cars/trucks!
@@dirtbikejohnny Being able to close it would be nice sometimes! But yeah even with those miles you’re still good to not loose too much which is crazy! I might have to add a manual build to the channel one day! Also appreciate the support!
@@lagging_hacker5204 access cab only for the 6’ bed with the manual though
I got a 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with a 6 speed and love everything about it.
Very cool!! It's nice to see a lot of comments with people having the manual for the Tacoma!
I’ve driven manual cars all my life and even tested a used manual 2017 TRD offroad taco before buying my SR5 auto 4x4. Would really prefer the manual but wifey had to drive the truck occasionally also. So I ended buying the auto and to this day wished I would had got the manual. But she did agree to me buying a sports car later on so all is good 😁
Well that's a good deal! The manual in the Tacoma is fun, but to me, just not as fun as in a sportscar. It's not the same feeling when it's just a truck. But still cool to see they offer it, and it would be fun to test it out offroad, but you'll enjoy the sportscar!
I have a 2017 TRD offroad with the manual and I love it. I have 83,000 miles on it. One of the best things offroad is on really nasty downhills you can just resist the urge to push in the clutch and know your wheels will keep turning so you don't slide out of control.
So can you go down hill in first gear without touching the brakes? Like a downhill assist? My offroad has that with the auto!
Get the manual
I've been in a few manual third gen's now and honestly don't like them anymore. They feel so slow trying to get up in first takes forever, even foot to the floor. I like my auto and manual in my sportscar!
I have a 2016 TRD Sport with manual 6 and love it. Even though Toyota’s auto transmissions seem sound, there’s so much less that can go wrong with a manual, especially if you treat it right. EPA estimate MPG is higher for the auto than manual. Since I replaced the horrible stock tires that came with my Sport with Goodrich Wranglers my MPG has gone down some but usually average about 17mpg mixed driving. The best vehicle sticker I’ve ever seen: This vehicle is equipped with (standard transmission map): millennial anti-theft device
Glad you are enjoying the Tacoma! The manual is fun to drive for sure! I love mine still though with the features it came with! Tacoma's are fun trucks to have!
When I got my 2017 Offroad MT last year it wasn't even a question. I looked at an AT 2020 OR for around the same price and less miles but the MT was high on my list of must haves for this truck. The only auto I have ever owned was my first Tacoma, a 2001 PreRunner which I quickly traded in for a 2003 SR5 4x4 that I still have. Stick shift daily driver for life here.
Very cool! The manual was definitely fun in the Tacoma for sure! I might have to buy a project tacoma one day with a manual! It would be a fun build!
12 toyota trucks since 1985 all manual transmission I can't imagine driving such and under powered truck especially with the tacomas problems with there automatic transmission.
I love my Tacoma! It’s great for off-roading and what I use it for! I regeared it which solved the auto issues (hopefully they fix that down the road), but I love it!
You nailed it! You cannot simply trade an auto to Manual because there are no Manuals in a lot, if you find one, Good luck bargaining! I waited 6 months to get a manual. I find the most comfortable gear to go at 30-35 MPH is the 3rd. I once shift into 6th at 45 MPH and it can't handle it. The gearing in this taco reminds me of my Hilux LN 106 which also comes with 4:30 ratio.
I'm pretty sure most of the manuals are special order, unless you stumble upon a used one like this! I didn't even know this was a manual until I opened the door lol, they are hard to find for sure! It's fun though!
Kinda late here. 2022 Army Green Trd Sport 4x4 manual.. love it! Happy I went manual... in todays market i was lucky to find it!
Thanks for sharing! It’s cool Toyota still offers the manual!
Half a million Jihadi's can't be wrong; the man's transmission is the way to go. The forums are loaded with bitching and whining about the automatics, so I stayed away from Otto's transmissions. I had to order the truck to get a do-it-yourself transmission. Toyota's packages stink and I had to get the short bed to get the features I wanted, or buy a black or white truck. I've owned a black truck and won't do that again. And, I like the shorter wheelbase off road. I've always driven manuals. Much better speed control. I've never had to repair a manual transmission. I generally drive my cars 14-16 years before I hand them down, and I've also never replaced a clutch. I've never needed a "Crawl" feature. That's for people whose reach exceeds their grasp.
I would disagree on the crawl feature. I've been offroading for several years and I think it's sweet to see that technology in the truck. I've used it before to see what the truck can do, but there have been times where it didn't help and I used my skills to get out or up an obstacle. But the manual is definitely fun for sure! I've seen them in more then just white/black, just like this one!
That’s pretty cool . I had no idea these came with manual transmissions .
You can still buy them in a manual even in 21! That's the only manual truck/suv, aside from older 4runner models and fjs.
If it weren’t for traffic, I would have a manual. But I don’t see it getting any better..
I drive a manual in traffic! I make it work!
I fucking hate mine so much. Junk transmission. 3200rpm at 80mph on the highway is horrible. I get better city mpg.
Even at 70 mph I'm only at 2200, it was at 1800 before I did the regear, I don't see it going that high for 80. But these trucks weren't designed to be fuel efficient at those speeds, especially for long distance. The faster you go, the less mpg you get. Sorry you don't like it, I'm on my second one and love it! Best trucks I've ever owned!
Definitely go manual! I had to wait 7 months longer to get my new 2017 trd sport but it was worth it. Manuals are so much more fun to drive.
Oh sweet! Yeah the manual option is very cool to have on the Tacoma and it certainly makes it a whole lot different!
I have a 2019 TRD Offroad 6 speed manual. I'll be the only person that’ll ever owns this truck.
Very cool!!! I'll probably be the only owner of my Tacoma as well! Such a great truck!
A Manual transmission is the only way to go. It’s dying because your generation can’t figure out how to use three pedals😂😂😂😂
While I agree a manual is cool and I have one in my R8, it's just not as fun in a truck to me. It feels very slow and sluggish, but I'm all for Toyota keeping the manual and continuing to make it for the 21's and hopefully on the 22's!
MT ONLY!!! It's best in the snow. Best off road. You have control. And it's plain old fun!
The manual is cool, but I’d never buy a manual Tacoma, not as fun to me as my r8, so much more sluggish feeling in my opinion.
I am. Very. Happy. I have 2021. Tacoma Trd. Sport. Manual. Waooo. I. Love. It ...
Thanks for checking out the manual Tacoma video! It's definitely fun to drive!
I made the mistake of selling my last manual truck for an automatic. Constant issues with the ford 10spd.
Oh dang! I don't have any issues with my auto tacoma! What kind of issues does the ford transmission have?
4.30 gears is insane. How about something in the mid to high 3's? MPG would go up .......
I believe the stock Tacoma auto has 3.80 or 4.10, but that doesn’t allow the truck to use 6th gear. It’s very annoying. I went to 5.29’s with my 34’s and it helps a lot! I’ll take that over mpg all day.
I have a 2019 Taco Sport (6-speed manual), and I love it.
Thats awesome to hear! Tacomas are great trucks. Nice to see you went with a manual!
had a 2018 manual trans tacoma and my left hip got so sore from pressing the clutch in stop/go traffic. sold it and got a 4runner trd pro
Oh dang. Yeah manuals in traffic isn't the most fun if you drive a lot. 4Runner Pro is a great replacement!
I love my manual. I wouldn't trade it for a automatic for anything. This is my 3rd manual Toyota. Wouldn't have anything but the manual.
Very cool!! I might have to add one to the garage one day!
Going downhill just select the proper gear and voila... Just coast
True.
Manuals are absolutely horrible in traffic, I hated mine - at least in traffic.
I agree in certain traffic situations for sure!
You can shift the auto manually. You can't shift the manual automatically. Manual sucks.
Manuals are a lot of fun and they aren’t for everyone..
Everything that’s automatic in my life is meh. I automatically wake up at the same time every day. I manually mindset my thinking 🤔 to be more fun shifting through the gears in my head.
Haha yeah, shifting the gears is definitely a lot more fun!
as a shade tree mechanic I would rather replace a clutch plate as try to guess what wrong with an automatic they are built by space aliens
I have 50K miles on my auto and zero issues..
Wish you could get the 4Runner with a manual transmission.
That would be interesting! You can buy the FJ with a manual or much older 4runner models! Not sure if they will bring that back!
2015 TRD sport manual with thr 4L, this is peak tacoma
Yeah this was a sweet truck!
the slave cylinder is outside the transmission so it’s much cheaper to fix than most fords.
That's interesting to hear! I've never had to replace that or work on it on either of my Tacomas.
I want a manual tacoma for a first car, not a lot of high schoolers know how to drive stick so my cars safe,
For sure! People have no clue how to drive one!
Nice
It's pretty cool to see a manual tacoma!
i have a 2021 trd off road 4x4 manual, didnt even consider an automatic.
Nice! Manual is a sweet way to go for sure with the Tacoma! I have a 2021 Tacoma review coming soon and that one was a manual!
I love my manual ‘19 TRD OR! It is my daily driver. I am currently averaging 19 mpg, but I do a lot of highway driving.
Thanks for sharing! It's cool Toyota still offers the manual!
I just got off road trd manual and i love it definitely worth
Great to hear! It's cool they offer a manual for this truck!
I just bought and manual tacoma and every car I've had since I was 18 was a manual.
Thanks for sharing! I think it's cool Toyota still offers the Tacoma in a manual!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed me too! So rare in modern cars.
What's it like? It's like butta baby. There was a time that I remember when just about all Taco's were manual; I would never change my 21' manual for the world. You should see the looks I get when offroading/overlanding. My ONLY complaint is the weak throwout bearing that decides to take a dump about every 50k miles or so. Aggravating. The old school ones never had that problem.
Glad you enjoy it!
I daily drive a Tacoma because it still comes with a manual. Never owned an auto. Wish I could afford a full size w/ a diesel and 6spd too. To hell with autos.
The manual is fun in the Tacoma for sure! At the time I really wanted the crawl control and that only came with the auto. Maybe one day I'll add a manual Tacoma to the garage!
I found crawl control to be a brilliant marketing tool, and fun to play around with, but that’s it. My friend has the turd pro, w/ an auto. When off road, we found a good set of tires and minimal talent out performed crawl control in all situations.
Get a manual and some KM3’s.
Believe it or not I get over 30 mph on my 6 speed manual TRD OFFROAD 4x4. Highway driving of course. I don't care if you have an automatic!
I don't know, I'm not saying you are wrong about that, but is that after an empty tank or when you just filled up? Because that makes a difference in the readout in the gauge cluster. Hardly any Tacoma can make it too 30mpg. In my stock TRD Offroad, best I got was 23 or so.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I drive in the slow lane and my best is 33.4 mpg. That day I did have a slight tail wind. Typically I can achieve 27-28 mpg, but again I'm averaging 45-50 mph. I also keep the blue line pegged at 30. I don't always go for my personal record and I do like to rev her up and down the highway in which I'll average around 20 mpg. Nevertheless it is a lot of fun to drive. I like to keep the tank at least half full all the time. Don't want to get caught in a gas shortage like in 1978.
I'm planning on getting or ordering a TRD PRO. I will use it only for off road as a hobby truck. I plan to mud tires on it and keep it stock. 6 speed manual and a lead foot! Should be some fun times...
I ordered a 2022 Tacoma 6 speed manual should be here in April
Nice! That's awesome to buy a new one with a manual!
Awaiting for my truck to arrive march 19-24th ordered it in November. Tacoma Trd Pro 6spd manual white, roof rack, predator steps black tailgate insert, d rings for bed. Excited wandering what size tire I can switch to without rubbing with stock wheels
Awesome, congrats on the purchase!! Since the Tacoma TRD Pro has about a 1'' lift over the stock height, you can go a little bigger without rubbing. You'll have to stick to either slightly taller and the same width, or a little wider and the same height to play it safe.
I like manual transmission but l would like the long bed trd Tacoma but no making long bed manual transmission maybe later
I’ve never seen a king bed manual, I don’t think they’ll ever make that.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed maybe special order jjjj
I've been waiting since December for my manual Tacoma. Won't have it until June. They just don't allocate enough manuals to dealers... when I see one show up online in another state, it's gone within a couple days. To me, driving through economy-tuned transmission programming is endlessly frustrating. A manual completely eliminates the problem, reduces long-term costs, and is sooo much more satisfying to drive.
I believe the wait time on the manuals! They are all pretty much special order trucks, I've only seen a handful on dealer lots that they ordered just to have! But I don't mind the auto, especially after re-gearing mine, it drives very smooth. The manual is cool though to see that Toyota still offers it!
My brand new 1992 V-6 4X4 extra-cab was a 5 speed manual. I LOVED THAT TRUCK! Drove it for 14 years. I just bought a brand new 2020 4 months ago. At 54 with wife and 2 kids. I decided to go with an automatic. Also, I can’t buy a 6M in Canada with a long box which is what I need with our family.
If I was a little younger and had no family I’d be in 6M short box in a heartbeat!
IMHO, trade your truck in on a brand new Tacoma with a 6M. I’d love to see this. It would make great content and I’d love to follow along the whole journey of trying to find one and what you would do to it compared to your current Tacoma. It’s tough as you have an awesome truck but this would be so thrilling for your channel.
I don't know why they don't offer the long bed with a manual! They could easily do that! But we'll see! It would definitely be hard for me to get rid of mine, so maybe one day I pick up another one as a fun project!! That would be a fun build series!
Just ordered my 2022 Tacoma 6 speed in Alberta Canada. The only way I could of got the 6 foot box was in an access cab, so im stuck with the 5 foot box, 4 door sport.....my dirtbike will still fit on an angle, but the tailgate will be staying down.
I hear you. Stuck ordering a manual with 5foot box in Red Deer last week.
Can you get a manual in a 2022? I don't see it on the Toyota website.
I'm not 100% sure. But I've filmed some 2021 model year Tacomas with a manual transmission. So I would think it would still be available. Might not be on the website, but the dealer can probably order one
Yes I love my manual! I have the 2005 Tacoma and she only has 58,000 miles on her today. 6 speed is fun!!!
Ps had fun watching your video as well!!
Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
incorrect about the mpg's. auto gets better mileage.
Not from what I saw, usually manuals get better mpg than autos.
I think a manual actually makes offroading more difficult. Auto you just put it in s1 or s2.
Just depends on your skill set and desired. I would have thought the same. But after off roading in a manual you find out you basically drive it with the clutch rather than the gas pedal. These can drive less than 1mph in 1 gear in 4 low. So you pretty much never stall.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I took my manual 6 speed chevy sonic offroad up a steep rocky dirt hill. 🤣 Absolutely smoked the clutch.
@@270eman Chevy Sonic? Not sure if that’s the right kind of vehicle for off roading. But a 4x4 like a Tacoma or Wrangler with a manual utilizing 4wd low, is where you’ll have good off roading.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed That was just a funny story from when I first started working my current job before I upgraded to the 23 tacoma haha. I took my 16 camry up a washed out cow pasture once to. Had it caked in mud.
I’ve been searching for the right manual Tacoma for the past 3 years. The only thing holding me back was the lack of a power drivers seat. Finally bought my 2020 TRD OR 4x4 last week with leather interior and Powered seat!!
Very nice! Congrats!! They didn't offer the power seat for the longest time, mine are not, but it only comes with the leather seats too!
Why do power seats matter? I don’t find myself adjusting seats
@@djkenny1202 When you have more than 3 other people using your truck with different heights 5'5 - 6'1, then you'll understand.
Do you still need to adjust them?
@@djkenny1202 Duh... Technically you can still drive the truck. Did I forget to mention there's a height variance of 5'5 to 6'1?
2012 taco Ted off road 6 speed manual just black it out and straight piped it 127,000 but for a first truck love it
Sounds like a cool truck for you!! The Tacoma's are great trucks!
I have a manual tacoma. The only real reason I got is because I prefer manuals plus don't forget not all people can drive manuals if they need my truck they need to learn to drive it first to move there stuff
Haha yeah, that's a good trade for them to borrow it, learn how to drive one! The manual Tacoma is fun to drive I will say that!
I bought my Tacoma mostly because I could could get a standard transmission. (Plus I think it looks 100x better than the Jeep gladiator) I also don’t have an hour plus commute to work in stop and go traffic anymore, so it was time to go back to a good ol clutch. I never owned vehicles that weren’t standards until just a few years ago, but I’ve learned these last few years that (for me) automatic transmissions are perfect if you hate driving, so it’s nice to get some joy out of the necessary activities in life again. Love my new Taco! Great video sir 👍
Thanks for sharing! I wouldn’t agree with having an auto because you hate driving. I have an auto Tacoma and while the manual is cool, I couldn’t buy a manual Tacoma. My fun is in my manual R8. The Tacoma is too slow feeling for me with a stick, but I do love the fact that it is an option!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed 👍 I definitely didn’t mean for that to come across the way it did. I don’t mean people who have autos hate driving, but if you have a rough commute, as I used to, an auto is the way to go! Before, driving my wrx through rush hour traffic on the interstate was not what I’d call a great time lol, so switching to a grand Cherokee allowed me to not hate my commute as much. I don’t have to contend with the interstate now, so I made the switch to the Taco. Super jealous of your R8!!! Must be so much fun.
I love my Toyota manual, And I agree with you
It’s definitely a cool option Toyota offers!!
If I didn’t have my 2020 Tundra TRD Pro, I would definitely consider a Tacoma TRD Pro or Off Road in manual. And long term I would definitely supercharge it. Having driven manual Hilux trucks in the past, it’s definitely more engaging and fun to drive day today. I personally don’t mind driving a manual in traffic or on the daily so to each their own. Good luck with your decision.
It was a lot of fun for sure! I don't mind driving my manual in traffic, but it is nice to have the auto option depending on what I am doing for the day! Maybe one day I'll pick up a manual tacoma as a project truck!
Trade in that boat for a real transmission truck man
I’m definitely thinking about it. Great thing is both trucks are always number 1 & 2 as far as resale and reliability.
Stick shift is what god intended Toyota trucks to be 🤙🏽❤️
It's definitely a cool option for the Tacoma and I'm glad they make it with one! I love my auto though, save the manual for my R8!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I love my 4 banger 5 speed another bonus it can be pop started if starter fails and towed without tools 💯💯🤙🏽
Three sets of tires on a 17? Maybe those tires suck?
The only reason I did that was because I switched out wheels, I went from 18's to 17's to a different set of 17's and was switching out tires to go bigger! The nitto ridge grapplers are one of the best tires I've had and they are really great! Highly recommend them.
Interesting 🤔
It's a whole different kind of driving with a manual truck!
I am getting a Tacoma because I can get it with a manual.
Heck yeah! Super cool you can still buy one in a manual!
Only problem about the manual is that you can only get it with the short bed.
That is true! I have a short bed on my Tacoma and it's been fine! I know a lot of people think you need the long bed, but I've fit 2 motorcycles in the back and tons of stuff while moving!
I have a MT 96 Toyota 4runner. I love driving it even when I've had a long day at work and have a long commute home in NYC traffic, which is most of the time. I don't mind having to shift in and out of first gear when ever I have to stop.
Super cool! Nice to have a 4runner in a manual! Most people probably couldn't handle that in NYC lol
That’s awesome, I wish Toyota had the option to still sell 4runners in manual. You have a rare truck in your hands.
I like the hood scoop. I'd keep the fender flares on your taco black.
Thats a good way to go. Always liked the Sport scoop!
Wow, it's interesting
It's pretty cool to see the manual!!
Trade your truck. 6 speed mt are more expensive. Hard to find too.
I'm good! Mines paid off and I would have to put up another $10-15K plus do all the same mods I've done, it would cost the price of another vehicle to do it over again!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I hear you. Enjoy your truck.
Honestly it's almost impossible to stall in 4 lo.
Yeah really!
Get a carbon fiber hood with the hood scoop would look cool.
The hood scoop would be cool, the price of a carbon fiber hood, that's a lot!
I have owned 3 tacos and all M/T including my new 21. Eventually M/T will go away, but as long as it is available, I will always opt for the M/T.
Dude get the ovtune premium, totally worth it
That's awesome! I hope Toyota keeps offering that for their trucks!
Get it! Manual is the way to go 😎
It's definitly a great option for the Tacoma!
really u will never part with it? the other video regarding the next gen taco says otherwise ;P
Well this was filmed a long time ago lol, but with rumors I’ve heard of the next gen, most likely I’ll be keeping my current one.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed haha its all good my friend -just playin ... but fwiw u should keep it .... well unless the new one is lightyears better and more reliable -and made in japan .... ill say judging by the rest of toyota line-up refresh -it will probably look better/dope.... word on the street is toyota will be releasing some dope suspension parts -leaf springs, control arms etc...
@@comment_below We’ll wait and see! If it’s significantly updated I’ll consider it!!
Yes trade it in for the manual!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Maybe one day!!! I'm thinking of a project Tacoma that would be fun to work on!
Just bought, 08/21/2022, a new Tacoma 4x4 Off Road Manual, short bed, led lights, power adjustable driver's seat, cruise control, lane assist, locking rear end, Army Green. Been searching/pricing Tacoma trucks online for several months. Happened to luckily find this truck one day after it arrived at the dealer which another person had ordered and was unable to take delivery. I pull a small tear-drop camper we use for base camp set-up, then hike & wander on off-beaten roads in the back hills & mountains in North Georgia & North Carolina. Bought on the spot because I knew it wouldn't be on the lot for very long. One thing that totally surprised me, brand new pricing was a lot less than used. $38,900. Go figure. Tampa, FL area.
Dang! That's a pretty good find I would say! Thanks for sharing and enjoy the Tacoma! Its a fun platform to have fun with!
I love stick shift until I drove my sti to New York City last winter.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 TBH, people shouldn’t buy any manual cars in large any cities.
Personal preference! I have a manual R8 and love driving that around the city! But I have an auto tacoma for times I don't want to be in a manual, just depends on what someone wants and how they drive!
Manual transmission for ever !!! real man drive manual
I drive a manual R8 and that's fun, but prefer the auto in my Tacoma. The manual feels so slow and sluggish in the Tacoma, but I think it's awesome they still offer it!
Went back to a 6 speed manual in a 2012 Sonic ltz after 25 years of autos only, just because I wanted a DD and short commute and not drive my truck daily. If I didn’t have a 5,000 lb camper to pull a few times a year I would trade both vehicles for a manual Tacoma.....
Oh cool! Manuals are fun for sure! And if you don't need the trucks for its capabilities, then not worth getting for sure
"Rowing through the gears in a manual made it a lot more fun and driver engaging", but you didn't want your truck to be a lot more fun and engaging? I don't get the logic.
To answer your question, I'd 100% trade in your auto for the manual. I don't have a Tacoma, but I do daily drive a GTI with an insanely heavy Stage I clutch, and even in NC traffic I've never wanted the optional DSG.
Also why are you constantly moving up two or three feet in stop and roll traffic? Just wait until there's a few car lengths in front of you before creeping up, makes driving so much less frustrating.
You don't row through the gears as much in a truck. In a car you can downshift to punch it and do that more for speed. In a truck, it's just a truck, it's not meant for power and doing the same type of driving. I drive my r8 much harder being a sportscar. And I was just saying, traffic can be constantly changing depending on what's going on.
I can eeek 20.7mpg highway at sea level on flat ground out of my TRD off-road (Army green) MT taco 70+mph . Having driving both the automatic is annoying because the transmission can not make a decision.
After I re-geared my automatic, driving on the highway has been very smooth!! No more shift happy gear changes! But at the same time, Toyota should have fixed that so re-gearing wasn't something to do later.
Manual tacoma owner here. I wouldn't have my truck any other way!
Very cool!! The Tacoma is the best truck in my opinion! I love mine!
I wish I had bought a Tacoma with a manual transmission....
Were you able to test drive one first? If I had drove a manual first, I would have definitely considered it over the auto! When I got my truck I was just very excited about getting the crawl control and that was only on the auto!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed fortunately I already had an automatic tacoma in the family. When I went to get mine it was manual or nothing same for my brother he has the Pro in a manual.
That's cool you guys all have a tacoma! They are such a fun truck!
