Chloe, you're a lot of fun to watch!😃 I'm a SoCal boy from LA, but used to live in Escondido and miss the mountain biking trails in San Diego. I left my lifelong home for Arkansas five years ago and I'm gaining an interest in off- roading. I've been a Tacoma owner for the past 16 years and just now got my 3rd Gen. Love your channel! Good vibes to you from Arkansas!🤟🤟
Wear that "PINSTRIPE" with pride! Made sure I had some on my taco one week into ownership. Its an easy indicator of who wheel's their truck and who doesn't... Great vid, just sub'd!
I drive the main road from Dulzura in my Nissan Altima, so it's a nice road. The road condition does vary depending on the recent rains & recent maintainance.
Just got myself a trail ready 4Runner. I’m definitely heading there asap! Looks like a ton of fun to take my dogs. Great video!! Double double every time!
How do you like the switch, I've been thinking to do the same thing, just to gain the extra space and power, but just not sure to do the switch you know.
@@cj5fromla it’s a different feel for sure. If you don’t mind the poor gas mileage the tundra is more spacious and powerful. I needed it cause I have twins on the way and might have to get a bigger travel trailer. So far I love it.
Wow thanks for the quick response sir glad to hear you like it, and congrats you and yours on your guys new addition to your family. How bad is the mpg in real world use.
@@cj5fromla Thanks a lot. It’s still hard to tell cause I only have a little over 500 miles. I drive in Jersey city so I get around 11-13. The best I’ve got so far is around 15.7 on a few hwy routes.
I've been waiting for this video, thanks for posting, it didn't disappoint :) One of my favorite trails, amazing views if you just want to drive the fire roads and see the sights, can do it in a sedan, but some fun off-shoots for wheeling 4WD when you want something more challenging. Great thing is it's close to the city/suburbs & lots of border patrol in the area in case you have an issue and need help.
Hey Chole not sure if you already do but when you're off roading make sure to put the transmission in sequential mode I do all the time when I go offroading mostly 1st, and 2nd gear is what I normally just use, also it allows for a more control and a better time engine breaking especially when going down hills and feels too have better power going up hills as well also after airing down my tires between 15~18 psi I always just hold down my toe control button to torn off lsd and traction control completely helps when you're in 2wd and 4Hi Happy trails be safe.
Pretty cool area there. When you mentioned the name of the lake I had to look it up. No big deal, just on the other side of he country about 2,996 miles away from me lol. Those portable air pumps do come in handy.
Hey Guys! I would like to share my most recent experience. So i have been coming to Otay Mountain Truck trail (OMTT), ever since i bought my 2019 Toyota tocoma in August 2019.. I would visit the place very frequent and during covid became my go to place to just go for a nice escape!. So needless to say with gas prices being the way it has been i haven't been for a good 3-6 months. I believe the last time i went was around march or april of 2022. Today August 24th, I decided to go as i was getting the itch to see the gorgerous sunsets this place is famous for.. I had quite the experience! So for starters. the Pio Pico Gate is CLOSED!!! I went inside the Pio Pico store and asked the cashier who told me it's been closed for the past 4 months or so. The lady was kind enough to tell me another entrance which is in Dulzura by a shooting club(15 min drive from pio pico) . I was warned that that is the ONLY ONE WAY IN ONE WAY OUT. So i went and found myself reunited with the beautiful trail! but when i went i was stopped by border patrol agent multiple times, who warned me that there has been an increased in gang /possible drug cartel related activities, such as murders, accidents, with trucks loading bodies in the back and dumping them off! So i finally continued and saw my sunset! and i thought to myself, i better leave before it gets too dark... So i go down the usually route, which takes you to 905 and the detention center. I found that at the end the gate was closed and locked, which doesn't surprised me because in the past i would just go around, but nooooo there were an additional wall of baricades. and i thought i was stucked! fortunately i found a way out! i tested the power of my Tacoma and made the steep accent from dirt and was almost to the pavement when 4 border patrol agents came to me and lit me up. An agent came out to me and said " you know what you're doing is illegal" I acknowledge my wrong doing but admitted i was only there for fun and looking for a way out. The agents ended up letting me go after running my plates and my I.D but again i was warned that there has been an uptick of violence and criminal activities on OMTT. I really hope that this violence will end, and i really appreciate what our border patrol does to keep this country safe. I only want to warn my fellow community members to plan ahead and stay safe if you go out to OMTT!
Awesome vid! I shared this with my Wife and daughter that its not just a male dominated activity out there. It’s always good to put your truck in 4 wheel drive monthly to keep everything lubed and working. Toyota recommends this as well.
4runner pro wheels look really great on the 4Runner, tacoma, and fj. Toyota knocked it outta the park with the trd pro wheels. The tacoma pro wheels are sick too though.
Some of the offshoots are less branchy than others. I personally need to get better at clearing my passenger side though because I tend to get too close when I don’t need to
Nice trail run and footage. I had In And Out for my first time last year, but I had to travele to Dallas Texas to try it, non in Houston area. Whataburger to me is better though
After watching so many videos on Tacoma’s I decided to test drive one and I hate u all because I loved every second of it and I’m gonna be doing a lease to own, i want Calvary blue and I shall call her the warthog (halo jeep) lol
Great share! I noticed no beeping sound with the 4L. I must be doing something wrong. I like how you showed the air down (PSI 20) and up (PSI 35). I’m digging the fog lights too. I live out in the Reno NV area, I took my truck off road at Grimes point near Fallon NV. How do you like your steps, mine took a hit, nothing major, the sound of it hitting sounded worse. Cheers!
For some reason, mine didn't beep when I filmed it this particular time (it must've known the camera was on lol) but it always does! I actually recently took off the steps and put some rock sliders on instead. My steps took a little bit of beating and I hated how much ground clearance I lost because of them. I'll have to check out Grimes point if I'm ever in NV!
I used a Makita Cordless Inflator. I don't have a review on it but I like it for its compact size! It takes about 5-8 mins to re-inflate all of my tires (about 10psi). I put a link in the description, hope this helps!
Excellent job Chloe! By the way, what drone do you use? I am a neophyte to this technology, but want to film that sky video. I agree the views from the top of Otay are majestic; especially now with the cloud cover. I would also tell your viewers that the Otay trail has many cross trails, so if you explore, mark your trail. I guess your trailhead was Marrone Valley Road. Many of those access trails to Marrone are gated except that main one marked truck trail. First trip I had an excersice finding my way back to that open truck trail gate.
Hi Chloe, Love your channel, very cool stuff. I have the same truck but in cement grey..what wheels and tire combo do you have on your set up..looks pretty sick and would like to do that on mine. thanks in advance
Thanks! I have BFGoodrich KO2s (265/70/R17) and 4Runner TRD Pro Wheels. I have seen the same setup on a cement and it looks awesome! Good luck with the build
Nice video. love the footage! How long did it take to air up with that makita cordless and how tires can you air up on one charge. I like how compactness of that unit.
Hi!! I been watching your video. I’m massaging u because I’m planning moving for good on San Diego on Santee. I bought brand new Toyota Tacoma 4x4 sport 2021 I’m not sure if My car can do off road On otay.
U ruck 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾... keep on living
I just got me a jeep, take me off roading please!!! Lol
I live in San Diego and took my Taco out to this trail a few times, and this is such a fun trail. Love that you can also camp and shoot out there.
oh wuut? u can still shoot out there? what area?
@@LAAM619 get onX off-road it’ll show you the area it’s towards the right of the mountain
All of the Blm land you can technically shoot wherever you want aslong as it not towards a road
Can’t shoot anymore , be careful you can be arrested, check local regulation don’t be stupid
Border Patrol country. Looks like fun! I have a 2021 TRD Off-Road and would love to drive down there and test those mountains.
You can take a Camry
i got stuck here the other with my rwd tacoma 🤣
i only got stuck because i tried a separate way i never have before
I see you've finally gotten a drone, Chloe!
Reba's band. RIP
Try Black Mountain Truck Trail in Ramona. Fun stuff great scenery and not difficult.
Nothing better then hitting the trails
This is the first time I reach out to your channel, and I found your video is awesome! like your smile and puppy as well~ lol
Invite me to this trail.

I would love to go and do that trail since I’m a beginner too. Love your videos Chloe. Keep up the good work 💕
Wear that "PINSTRIPE" with pride! Made sure I had some on my taco one week into ownership. Its an easy indicator of who wheel's their truck and who doesn't... Great vid, just sub'd!
Hi Chloe, what is the seat cover thing in the back you have called for your pup!? I'm trying to find something like that?
You’re awesome Khloe! Much respect.
My 2006 pilot did just great with stock tires . It’s really easy
Love the drone, that’s next level video production. Kudos.
I drive the main road from Dulzura in my Nissan Altima, so it's a nice road. The road condition does vary depending on the recent rains & recent maintainance.
Hi chloe. Which gates did you enter and exit from? I hear pio pico has been closed lately.
Just got myself a trail ready 4Runner. I’m definitely heading there asap! Looks like a ton of fun to take my dogs. Great video!! Double double every time!
Cool trail close to me😁👍thanks for sharing Chloe
Great video! Thanks!
Nice chill trail can't wait till I go myself
I was just there yesterday wheeling and camping. Awesome vid.
I live 5 minutes from there. About to head out there tomorrow. Depending on the rain.
I love that area. I grew up in Chula Vista .
Its a great trail to try at night too
I'd like to try in my tacoma SR5 stock, if I ever make it back to Cali
You actually inspired my gf to get a tacoma 💪♥️🤙
Not sure how I just found you but glad I did! Great video!
Looks like you had fun. I'm happy for ya😊
Do you think a raptor would fit on the trail?
Makes me miss my Tacoma but has to trade in for a tundra.
How do you like the switch, I've been thinking to do the same thing, just to gain the extra space and power, but just not sure to do the switch you know.

Awesome off-roading
Just be careful with the trouser snakes out there in otay
Glad I found you're channel and that you live in San Diego. Im in ventura and im definitely hitting this trail up! Thanks.
I really like these, really like these trucks.

So awesome !! Also loved the drone shots
Awesome truck, Awesome channel Chloe .
That is so cool. My friends and I are gearing up for our off roaring adventure so. Can’t wait
Finally saw the video!!
I live in Otay and will be looking for this trail !!
Cool video
That Tacoma is tailor made for that trail. Awesome girl.
In and Out Burger Animal Style! Might get that 4x4 next time.
Cool video I'm headed to there in the morning with my brother in his tundra and I have a 5th gen 4Runner. Yeeeeew 🤘🏼😎
So cool. More of this please.
Nice trail.. thanks for sharing 🥰
Looks like fun!
Look at you go Chloe!
Hi Chloe, does this place have multiple entrences??? I really want to go up there but the one I know is through Otay Lake Road, is this it?

Why do you air down to lower PSI?
Chloe I really enjoyed this video! Otay trail looks beautiful! If I ever go to Cali I’m definitely going to hit that trail up! Thanks for posting 😁
I've got a taco in the same color and I love it. Great video. It's really cool to see how much you can do with a stock taco.
Oh man you got me hungry with that in and out im going to have to to do that trail and hit in and out
HEY! San Diego! I live in SD! I live by Poway & work in Vista!!! 🤘🏾
My buddy’s Corolla kept up w my taco in this trail lol
You need to change the front grill to Toyota grill.
Get GOAT ARMOR for your truck. I have it on my 4runner and it helps a lot ! 🤙
Nice shots from your copilot/camera person!
He has helped me film some of my other off road videos and does a great job! I’ll let him know you commented 🙂
Awesome vid! I shared this with my Wife and daughter that its not just a male dominated activity out there. It’s always good to put your truck in 4 wheel drive monthly to keep everything lubed and working. Toyota recommends this as well.
Thank you! The Tacoma/Off-Road community is so awesome and it's been a ton of fun getting to hit the trails!
4runner pro wheels look really great on the 4Runner, tacoma, and fj. Toyota knocked it outta the park with the trd pro wheels. The tacoma pro wheels are sick too though.
Time for some tire deflectors, I got the cheap teraflex one and worth the wait for the burger!
pin stripping as they call it is part of the 4x4 life!
4x4 all day from in n out...
love the content!
Awesome video Chloe! You sure are creating some pretty cool content! Keep it up girl! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm an Old Time Toyota Off-Roader, but your enthusiasm makes Me smile! You are a Cool Chick!
Nice trail sorta reminds me cleghorn, you should check out cleghorn. The main train is pretty easy but has a bunch of offshoots. Great channel btw 👍
Young Chloe. Good video👍🏼
How easy was it to scratch your taco?? Was wanting to take my Willys Jeep up there but not if its gonna leave a mark like that
Some of the offshoots are less branchy than others. I personally need to get better at clearing my passenger side though because I tend to get too close when I don’t need to
If you want your truck shiny then leave it in the garage lol.
Nice trail run and footage. I had In And Out for my first time last year, but I had to travele to Dallas Texas to try it, non in Houston area. Whataburger to me is better though
Travel *
@Buddhaskizzle never heard of it, but will try and stop and try if around
After watching so many videos on Tacoma’s I decided to test drive one and I hate u all because I loved every second of it and I’m gonna be doing a lease to own, i want Calvary blue and I shall call her the warthog (halo jeep) lol
Awesome video!!! I just went there with my Subaru and made a video as-well! Cheers !

I got paid to drive those trails everyday for 11 yrs until i left San Diego for what i thought were greener pastures!
Great editing, what kind of drone and cam are you using? Looks like fun!
Drone is a 4 year old DJI Phantom
Have a 2020 Tacoma and live in San Diego if anyone wants to do a ride up there one weekend.
I'm curious about that air tool you used to inflate your tires. Do you have a review on it? Cool video.
I used a Makita Cordless Inflator. I don't have a review on it but I like it for its compact size! It takes about 5-8 mins to re-inflate all of my tires (about 10psi). I put a link in the description, hope this helps!
You gotta get rid of those side steps!
rock grabbers
Just ripped them off over the weekend and will post a video soon!
@@ChloeKuo
Way to go!
Next time order a 10x10 at in n out and make a video of you eating it lmaoo.
Lol, I’m not sure anyone would want to see that 😂

Cody looks well behaved.
Looks can be deceiving...
I got my fair share of scratches thanks to this trial 🤣
Yeah, there are some tight spots haha!
👍👍👍👍👍
Nice. Thanks for sharing again. How long does the trail?
And double double with well done fries and pink lemonade 🤙🏼
About 13 miles. And 🙌🏼 to that in n out order!
Hi Chloe, Love your channel, very cool stuff. I have the same truck but in cement grey..what wheels and tire combo do you have on your set up..looks pretty sick and would like to do that on mine. thanks in advance

It probably took about 10 mins for all 4 tires. It’s not the fastest, but yes it’s nice and compact and cordless
Looks like fun! What’s size tires and rims you have on yours 33/70/17 ? Looks cool
265/70/R17
Hi, I’ve watched a few videos. Good stuff. Are you running, 32” or 33” BFG’s on this truck?
I love to check out this trail too. Is there a specific entrance that I need to get in? I’m a very beginner that want to do some easy fun off road.
The entrances are easy to find, you should be able to just type “Otay truck trail” on google maps and find the main entrance!
Put your truck in 4x4 just to keep it lubricated.
Great video! What size tires do you have on it???
265/70/R17
@ 5:56 “is that a G Wagon?” My guess is a soccer mom from Otay Ranch got lost...
Sounds about right lol
Hi!! I been watching your video. I’m massaging u because I’m planning moving for good on San Diego on Santee. I bought brand new Toyota Tacoma 4x4 sport 2021 I’m not sure if My car can do off road On otay.
