You are going to love your Tacoma! I got a 2022 access cab TRD Sport and it reminds me of my KLR 650 motorcycle. It does everything well but nothing perfectly. The best part is they never quit. Take care brother!
I have a 2022 TRD OFF-ROAD 4x4 in Lunar Rock I have the 4 door short bed. This is my 3rd Tacoma and I have to say it’s my favorite. I say that because it’s my first 4x4. The last one was a 2019 in Calvary Blue by far my favorite color! Enjoy the truck dude!
Oooh, the Cavalry Blue is nice also! You will love the 4x4, it will take you places you could not have imagined before! This is also my 3rd Toyota truck. I went T-100, 1st gen Tundra, 3rd gen Tacoma
I wanted the access cab but alas I had to give into my wife’s occasionally better judgment and get the double cab. I was able to acquire the ‘22 Lunar Rock TRD OR w/adv tech & premo long bed and I’m absolutely ecstatic with her. Good luck with her, she’s a bute! Thanks for sharing 🍻
Beautiful truck HF. I contemplated the DCLB since it is virtually the same specs as my 1st gen Tundra it is replacing. I opted for the AC for shorter wheel base and with knowing I will also have a larger vehicle.
I ordered a 2023 TRD back in March to replace my 2010 Taco. I’m still waiting… I throughly enjoyed this video! Hope I can enjoy mine soon. Thanks for the video! Cheers!
Niiiiiice!!!! I wanted that light package but would have had to wait 4 more months for it. Enjoy the Taco. I'm up to 600 miles now getting close to broken in. Watch this new video and let me know if you have noticed these things also: th-cam.com/video/6oxy03Fdr1Q/w-d-xo.html
Mine is a 2018 trd off road cement 11 miles on it in june 2018. Now had 32k. Love it. Didnt like the stock tires. I got falken at3w wild peaks. Way better
Nice truck bro! Like the long bed 4 sure! I just picked up my 2022 6-speed manual in Blue crush metallic it's the 1st year they put that color on the Tacoma it makes it look more like a street Queen than a rugged truck but either way it's sick Mine is the basic truck no packages at all but they dressed it up a little bit with mud flaps, side steps, exhaust tip, bed lights & all weather floor mats, then I put the aluminum tonneau cover bakflip mx4 & Carhartt seat covers to protect everything up front. I hope u enjoy your new whip & have fun with her! 💪💯👍👍
Awesome George! Congrats on your new truck! That color is pretty sharp looking and I am sure that it will treat you well! How are you liking the Carhartt seat covers?
@@goldsteadingoverland they have different kinds of the seat covers the ones that I got were a little over 200 bucks they're made out of the same material as the Carhartt jeans and jackets so they're nice and rugged they fit good but not perfect they definitely don't move when you get in and out of your truck and they do fit nice and snug but then they make another pair of seat covers that fit extremely well to your seats but those are literally 500 and something bucks I was like WTF I can barely afford these $200 seat covers. I guess it just depends what your budget is if I could afford those $500 ones I would have put them in but these will protect my seats from work and shit like that right now I just got a blanket over the whole backseat but I want to get the seat covers for the backseat as well. But in my opinion I absolutely love them they're perfect for me and I would recommend them 💯%💪💪
@@goldsteadingoverland "electronic control transmission" it helps hold it up in the higher RPMs & hold the gears longer.. I have a 6-speed manual now so I don't have to worry about that but damn dude these gears are so long 3rd gear hit 96 mph & did not even hit the rev limiter! Today I was racing some Acura just fucking around down Grand avenue there was no other cars I hit like 115 mph & he barely gained on me. I use Force gear still didn't hit the rev limiter again and 115 mph & I was at like 5400 RPMs the Tacoma 3.5 l top speed is 131mph that's pretty good for a midsize truck
I've got the '20 OR crew with the pillar. My driver's door after 25 months and 22K miles does the same as yours when closing. I believe it's the door seal.
Nearly no leg room lol , how tall are you ? I was thinking about getting one of these but I’m 6’2 and don’t have a need for an overpriced tundra even though I would like one.
Just bought a 2023 Lunar Rock Trail edition 4x4 sr5 but no fog lights with this trim level package :( gonna see if I can't install some aftermarket ones.. Maybe the wiring harness is already there from the factory in the front bumper gonna check tomorrow..
Saweet! Beautiful truck with the bronze accents. So, I have tested night driving with and without foglights. The fogs DO make a big difference. I will have a bunch of vids going up the next few weeks. Have you named your truck yet? Enjoy!
I really want a Tacoma but I don’t want to sacrifice 40+mpg to 20mpg if I get one I can’t justify cutting down if only they have a more fuel Efficient engine. I’ll wait for the new Tacoma unfortunately
Whaaat! I think the in demand vehicles are still msrp and backordered. I could not wait as I needed a vehicle but would think this Dec - Feb will be a good time to buy a car.
I would not brake in a motor like that , for the 1st 1000 miles your suppose to go easy on it , until it’s broken in , RPM shouldn’t go over 2500 for the first 400 miles or so , no highway driving unless it’s very short duration and no long periods of idling like in excess of five minutes or more and definitely no towing 1st , 1000miles otherwise you will have motor issues when it ages like burning oil
Absolutely true Peter. I am doing my best to break the truck in properly per the manual recommendations. I do however live 2hrs aways from the dealership waay up in the mountains. These "hills" cannot be avoided.
I just did same. Well, "reserved" an "allocation". 2023 Off Road. That door not closing properly is worrisome! Toyota's quality control must be going down. Hope I'm wrong.
I hear your RKBA. These trucks are no longer bult in Texas. Now they are built in Mexico and the build quality has apparently been slightly worse than before. I just now published a new video about the build quality, be sure to check that out. Best of luck!
2023 is still the same old underpowered outdated tacoma with minimal upgrades...for a 2023 truck, it has interior of a 2011 ford ranger....and shit gas mileage when gas is $6/ g in California. Look at 2023 GM canyon which is a best with a way better modern interior with a turbo engine. There's no reason to buy a 2023 tacoma when there's better models elsewhere.
Yes and No. I could have bought any of these new comparable vehicles. The reason for going with the Tacoma: Proven, Way more reliable than all others, price, parts everywhere. Mechanics know what to look for and how to work on it. This is my third Toyota truck and the last three made it past 250,000 without any major issues before I sold them. That cannot be said for my GM vehicles before those...

Niiiice! Great choice Nathanael!
Congrats on your new Taco!! I'm the guy you talked to at the gas station in BV.
WoW! Hello Gold Seeker, very nice to see you here! I joined the Taco Club🙌
Good thing you grabbed one while you still could. A small cab apparently isn't an option on anything but the stripper trims in '24.
Happy for you man !!! great truck, enjoy it
your editing is really good!
Thanks Ryan, much appreciated
Thanks for some great info about your part of Colorado! You are very good and best luck with your bad ass truck!
My pleasure SGA and thank you for the support🙌
Glad you got a long boy! Everyone and their uncle gets the shorty.
Right! The 6.1" bed is incredibly useful!
Congratulations on your purchase and good luck with it
Hopefully you have a good experience!.
Thanks Wally! Hoping for the best!
pretty neat was thinking of getting a i4 access cab 4x4 in silver wish It came in lunar rock
Use the manual mode. Move the shift level to the side. It will drop down to 4th gear. I use it all the time.
Nice, I will definitely give that a go Joe!
I got that same truck but with Led headlights and fog lights picked it up last weekend with 4 miles on her! Got 80 miles today

Overlooking the lake! It's beautiful down there!
I just found your channel; I got the same model and color-excited to see your truck's journey.
Fantastic Congratulations on the new truck🙌
Nice truck! Good luck with her!
Why thank you Anthony!
Wow, geographically that area looks do much like British Columbia in western Canada. Cool
I've been wanting to come up to check out BC for years! Cheers
You can controll coming downhill by just setting the cruse for 70 MPH.
Beautiful new truck! It should help you find a whole bunch more gold🙌
Do these rust like crazy as well or are they ok? If they do rust how many years? 2-3?
We love your videos. Way to go!
Yeehaaa, thanks Sue!

Thanks BG. A new video just dropped!
Nice man! Love that color, tried to find one but couldn’t. Ended up getting a 22 TRD Off-Road Double Cab Long Bed in the white.
Very nice! Congratulations! I had contemplated the DCLB also.
I've got the '20 OR crew with the pillar. My driver's door after 25 months and 22K miles does the same as yours when closing. I believe it's the door seal.
Hmm. Not great. Chances are that the door is slightly sagging downward and not hitting the seals flush.
I have a 3rd generation taco. Use the "sport" mode to downshift just be careful
Nice! I just tried that out today. Feels like the V6 has less engine braking power than my first gen Tundra V8. Might be all I get.
You ROCK! Thx
I recently got the 2022 Tacoma SR5, I wish it had push start button. But overall I like my truck.
Very nice Uly! Believe it or not, I actually miss a keyed ignition. But, the robot door handle locks are very cool indeed.
You’re not missing anything, I miss having a key myself. The novelty wears off quickly
I used black magic marker for cover chrome glair.
Good idea John.
Very nice, love the color
I love it too!

I’m so jealous of your truck
It sure is Purdy!
Nice truck, I got the double cab. Does your rpm rev up while you’re slowing down to a complete stop?
Hmm. Will check and see. The idle bounces a tad when stopped on an incline.
Going down hill I use the manual shift, but I use the manual shift all the time
Do you have a Manual or Auto?
@@goldsteadingoverland auto
I have a 2023 Tacoma off road
I really want a Tacoma but I don’t want to sacrifice 40+mpg to 20mpg if I get one I can’t justify cutting down if only they have a more fuel Efficient engine. I’ll wait for the new Tacoma unfortunately
Totally. I NEED a truck and I am getting about 5mpg better with this Taco than my last truck.
Car prices are negotiable again! I heard some stories that people bought their car under the MSRP !
Whaaat! I think the in demand vehicles are still msrp and backordered. I could not wait as I needed a vehicle but would think this Dec - Feb will be a good time to buy a car.

Did you remember too mention that you are a gold prospector?
Hello Ellery. I will most definitely be weaving gold prospecting into the channel. This Tacoma is one of my most important prospecting tools :)

Sorry but it's the same truck as last year new redesign doesn't come out until 2024
I would avoid the new design at all cost! Maybe after a few years then maybe
@@apa7611 the redesigned tacoma will look like a mini tundra
I agree with Apa
Exactly Nick. The new Tundra doesn't look great in my opinion.
