I picked mine up last Tuesday night. I got mine in metallic grey. So far so good. I hope to get many years out of mine. I live in Rhode Island and these are hard to come by. The dealer said when they get one in, they're gone within in a day or two.
I have a fully loaded 2021 Tacoma SR5 Trail Edition in Cement and I love it. The SR5 is simple, you can get additional options over an SR and can customize the hell out of them. That Barcelona Red pops. Congrats and welcome to the Taco family!
I have a 2012 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport and absolutely love it. Mine is also the Red color like yours! One day I will trade up and get the new gen Tacoma. Remember to stay up to date with lubing your u-joints and driveshaft and differential oil. Cheers on your new truck!!
Nice Tacoma! Congrats! Enjoyed the accent lol heard of it from one of the guys a I see at work and noticed the similarities and told myself, this guy is from PA before you showed your plates.
I like it! I'm waiting for prices to come down before I go shopping for one. I've never paid MSRP or higher: Wait until you can buy one for $1,500 to $2,000 below MSRP which was the norm before the pandemic.
I have the same truck. Just wondering if you knew it had an auto start? When your truck is locked hit lock 3 times then it will start and run for 10 min. My key fob nor my salesperson mentioned it. Good trucks and love the color. Thanks for sharing.
Well done dude! Was wanting one so bad but they rip u off around SE Michigan. Ended up with a CRV and it's awesome. If we ever see normal again Taco is on ,my list. How much?
Thank you buddy, it’s a crazy market but something to keep in mind even if you over pay for a tacoma they are worth more after you drive it off the lot then brand new. You can possibly get 5-10k more then what you paid for it. I personally only paid msrp which was 38k at my local Toyota dealer here in Philly pa.
Great review. 1 question, I’ve never seen a truck with a power steering cooler, isn’t that an oil or transmission cooler? Of course, maybe I heard you wrong. Either way, thanks for the review.
Yes it is a power steering cooler, many vehicles have power steering coolers. You figure when it’s super hot outside and your turning that wheel a lot you need a cooler to cool the fluid down to prevent damage to the steering rack and pump and seals. The transmission cooler is integrated into the radiator and the oil cooler is located under the truck by the transmission . Thanks for the feedback
Just bought a 2022 Sport and towed with it for the first time this last weekend, what a joke, pulling an aluminum trailer with about 500 pounds on it, all the tranny wanted to do was go up and down for my 5 hour trip even with pushing my tow button....good thing I don't tow much or I would be getting rid of this thing ASAP....so if you are going to tow find something different instead of a tacoma.....nice review of your pickup
Excellent. The body gaps id say are flawless. All Toyotas and Lexus have beautiful lines and gaps. I’m a collision repair tech so I see almost every make of vehicle and would rank Toyota number 1 in fit and finish and that indeed goes for the tacomas built in Mexico . You have to keep in mind the assembly plants all follow the same basic procedure on assembly and quality control regardless of what country it’s assembled in.
@@SR5Fenz The reason why I asked is because there are some trucks that are coming out really bad. Front fenders that are rubbing on the doors and the front bumper cover with huge gaps
@@DUNEATV take it for what it’s with. I work on cars every day. Any imperfections your going to find in a tacoma/Toyota are ten times worse this the other manufacturers. Look online about fords fit and finish on their trucks absolutely terrible. Toyota Tacoma holds its value better then any other vehicle on the road. They simply run forever. You won’t regret the tacoma.
@@northwolf absolutely beautiful color it changes shades of red depending on how sun hits it. Direct sunlight it’s like blood red and at night it’s a dark red

Cement? I thought that colorway was discontinued in 2020

Enjoy your Tacoma dude, thanks for sharing with us. I have seen first hand that they are very capable machines on and off road.

Great looking truck. I like that you kept the original grill.
I love the original sr5 grill

I love my 2021 Tacoma SR5 DB Cab 4x4...except for the damn lag in acceleration, so I installed the sprint booster and now NO LAG!

Tacomas are beautiful trucks!
They sure are. Best there is man 👍
This a great video by the way nice flowers on driveway lol
Thank you very much
I bought this exact truck last month :)

Super nice taco
The ATF cooler issue is a little confusing. Toyota’s website says that the 2023 v6 models have one. I wonder if the brought it back?
No idea but interesting
@@SR5Fenz seems they’ve integrated it into the engine cooling system. There’s a heat exchanger between the engine coolant and the transmission fluid.
Nice lookin truck with everything you need ❤MY🌮
Your right!! The sr5 is the best value in my opinion. I love the traditional Turn key for the i Ignition . 🤙

I have a 2022 Sr mot much difference for the extra $4,500 just better rims a little more chorm and rear power sider windo. and fog lights.
Hope much is it, I’m thinking of buying one
Around 39k
Got the same model in gray, with the trd lift

@ Eric Vetter, I agree man, tacoma is not for towing.
That sucks! I've towed at least 2,000lbs on my 2021 Tacoma SR5 4x4 V6 and never had an issue...no gear hunting on my truck.
If you need a truck for towing, get the Tundra: You'll be happy.
@@sameertamang28702nd Gen. Towes really good! I have a 2015
@@leslieparmer9327 among the 2nd generations, the tacomas manufactured in 2015 were the best, less problems.
I was wondering, Do you know if these 3.5 V6 engines have a timing belt or a timing chain?
What is a sprint booster for faster acceleration and where might you find this thanks
No idea I don’t have one
How's the driver seat comfort
Very nice
Cool 😎 thanks
Why do I see some sr5 with turn signal mirror is that a add on ?
Technology package
👏👏👏👏
How’s the build quality out of Mexico? Panel gaps and stuff like that…

Prices vary drastically between different dealerships and markets. If you find a dealer not charging market adjustment will cost around 38-40k
Why do I have the urge to say "Water Ice"!
Not sure what you mean lol
🔥👍💪👌💯
toyota needs to bring back a true bright red color to their vehicles, this ' barcelona ' red is hideous
I love Barcelona red
Totally disagree. The Barcelona Red is beautiful.
