Yes that's all true. Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it.

Very true!

Yep you do. Thanks for watching!

Thanks I appreciate that.

That's a long time. I hope you get it sooner.

We had a trade, but with tax and Colorado registration and title, it would be about 59,000 I believe.

Thanks I really appreciate that. Sounds like you have some solid plans for your build as well.

Thanks very much, Yes, @beninbeta.

@@BenInBeta Thank you so much!

I hope that does happen and I'm glad you had a great test drive too.

Yep, vehicles prices have unfortunately outpaced inflation over that same time.

@@BenInBeta True but also my 2006 has cloth seats, no electric seats, yes electric windows + cd / fm radio. Compared to a modern car it is truly bare bones / old school

@@bdano4264 Yep, as consumers the bar of what we want, demand, or desire has risen much as well... hand in hand w/ price.

Sweet, I'm glad you like it! Thanks for the comment.

This! I fit this category. I wanted all the options because I have bought many vehicles that I didn't get all the options I wanted so now that I have the cash, I wanted a fully loaded Tacoma and will get a 4 Runner next year as well.

No problem, thanks for watching.

Well, I paid 53000 for my off road and the Raptor wasn't available when I bought mine. Also it'd be months before I got one if I ordered one now. But a Raptor is a cool truck and a solid value. If there's not a mark-up.

@@datkinegaming8292 maybe I’m biased. I walk around my neighborhood looking at older cars. I have a gen2 taco from 2006. It’s not perfect but in good shape. I look at fords and GMs from roughly the same period and they look like crap, paint coming off, etc I guess because I keep my cars 10-20 years I question how other trucks would hold up. Then again maybe Toyota isn’t any good anymore too.

@@bdano4264 which I get. And I would be tocoma too if they didn’t have engine problem with there newer gen’s and the insane price with lack of some thing. Now older Toyota where build great and people who bough them took care of it. While look at old ford ranger and what people are doing to it is insane that it still around towing 50k pounds and ram it Thur muds and stuff. (But they didn’t care for it so didn’t maintenance it) I’m from Hawaii #1 state for Toyota

@@bdano4264 two thing that made Toyota popular 1. Reliability. 2. It was cheaply prices. (So they could make more of and push it out)

Do your homework. A raptor will cost $650-700 more in fuel cost per year, each year you own it. It is a great truck but I don't need a sport truck, my Tacoma is just fine. Not to mention finding one without a markup right now.

That's totally fair. Value is very personal.

Supposedly it's a new technology solid state battery. Thanks for watching Duggydo!

As long as you don't block the camera above the rear window. Mine still works with my rack and tent on top of that. If you have a cap with windows in the front and back, it may still work. There are also camera relocation kits I believe.

If it's the features you are looking for it's worth the wait for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sweet that's a cool vehicle too! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I have had no squeaks or rattles from the vehicle itself, just the manuals in the glove box. Squeaks and rattles drive me nuts too. The overall fit and finish is great.

I 100% agree. Thanks for the comment and watching!

That's super cool. Yeah, I'm not sure what we'll do yet either I have lots of thoughts though. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Keep me posted on what you learn with the TH suspension parts too.

Nice. I felt it was easy to get to the bolts if I had to.

@@BenInBeta it was a bear getting those in that way should have done them your way lol

Sweet that's awesome to hear. We're loving it so far. I hope you have an amazing trip. Where are you all going on the trip?

Hi Tom. This is the one we have amzn.to/3W3aaSL thanks for watching and the question!

Yes it's really good on ice if you have packed lugs. Thank you for watching and commenting.

It sure is!

You can get your toes on them and that's about it, I'll try and get a measurement in a future video. They don't stick out much at all.

Thanks!

Yes Keith is fantastic and he makes great products!

Thanks for watching, I appreciate that and the comments too. It's a huge time saver and they do make great products.

It's negligible, the AT4Ws are very slightly louder if you have your windows open. Windows closed, in our truck id didn't notice a difference at all.

​@@BenInBeta To go one step further, can we say that the AT4Ws are substantially quieter than KO2s? This is for an 07 Lexus LX470.

@mqnwest since I don't have experience with KO2s, I couldn't make the claim. But having come from a Hyundai Tucson to the Tacoma with the AT4Ws, I really don't hear much difference on the road. Especially if the windows are shut, you can hear some tire noise with the windows open, but it's not bad at all.

Sweet! It's a great truck, no doubt.

Yeah I have the same issue. I took mine in for that issue and to check the bed DC ports because I blew a fuse. Now at least it's documented maybe if a few more folks do the same, it'll get addressed. Thanks for watching.

Which one? I started with Robert, but ended up working with several different people there. I love their model. Anyone can help you out.

Hi Mike, I'm. It sure is you watched the whole video, but I did mention that if you purchase the BFGs they are 3 peak, but the version that come on the Tacoma, that Toyota worked with BFG on for this truck are not 3 peak. Thanks for watching though.

My wife initially said the same thing, but then I drove the gas model. Have you done that yet? Drive it and then decide. When I have been back to the dealership for accessories, there have been Tacos on the lot every time. If you think, I wish it had more power, then keep waiting, if you think this is all I need, then get the gas model. The power setup on the hybrid is pretty nice, but If you don't have a use for that, the storage under the seats is pretty handy so far for us in the gas model. It's all a trade-off. Do what is best for you, being patient can really pay off too.

Awesome, I'm glad it's working out for you! Thanks for the comment and the view.

I hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any specific questions. Thanks for watching and the comment!

You're entitled to your opinion of course. I don't agree though. And neither does the definition of overlanding: Overlanding is a type of self-reliant adventure travel that involves traveling to remote destinations by mechanized transport, often over unpaved roads, and primarily camping along the way. But thanks for the comment.

@@BenInBeta don’t get me wrong you have a nice truck. I guess the part that got me was “overland BUILD”. And yes you’re correct and technically you can overland on a bike.

@nicholas9642 there are different levels of a build and this is just the beginning for us too. I think this is how most people would start as well. I don't know what your build looks like, but I'm sure it's awesome. As one builds out their vehicle it becomes more capable and that is great, but a build doesn't have to mean you're adding every possible accessory, a lift, and 37 inch tires in one shot or at all. We've added AT4Ws, front skids and rock sliders this far and we've definitely gone where a Civic cannot. I do appreciate the conversation though and maybe when we get back doing a podcast sometime you can pop on and show off your rig. Have a good one.

No problem I should have had them right away. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I do try to make the best choice for what we're looking to do and that leads to a good amount of research. BTW, I'll have a video coming pretty soon on the rail tie downs. It's shot just need to edit it and decide where to slot it in.

I have not really noticed it at all. There's a lot of weight in the bed too which tends to offset that a bit. Just riding around town I don't notice the tent at all. It was a concern for me originally and one reason I had planned to run in mid height, but it's not been a problem at all so far.

0 issues with the engine or transmission. I've only had some software bugs with the infotainment system and a smaller one with the driver's display not remembering my layout. And I blew a fuse in the bed DC ports, but again that's pretty minor. Thanks for watching and for the question.

Sweet! I hope you have an amazing time!

First thanks for watching. It honestly hasn't changed much from before I added everything. I get around 17-18 on short trips or heading up into the mountains and 20-25 on the highway depending on terrain. On the trails it's between 5-12 mpg. Depending on terrain and if I'm in 4 hi or low.

@@BenInBeta thank you for making these videos, really nice to see. I'm waiting on my Tacoma but I'm highly considering things like the Kuat bed rack and a rtt. I just wanted an idea of what to expect if I added those things. 👍👍 keep up the great work

Thanks for the kind words. And for watching. Let me know if there are any specific questions you have and I can try to answer them in future videos too.

Thanks Mike I appreciate it. I'm happy with them too! Next part is supposed to be in tomorrow!

@@BenInBeta I have a Trd skid plate on order and will be ordering the sliders. Looking at tires but can’t decide on 265 or 285.

@@Mjr1348 Sweet! Have you looked at 255/80/17s? They fit and are 33s, plus I think they are the same weight as the 285s which are barely bigger than stock. That'll probably be the tire size we'd switch too in the future. Any if you are thinking narrower tires won't perform as well, check this out: ruclips.net/video/6wAJAOxh8LE/видео.htmlsi=nwe-PAD6Bue0Xr8d

@@BenInBetathanks Ben. I’ll look into that. ✌🏻

@Mjr1348 no problem!

Everything I put in the back can get wet for my overlanding setup, but Kuat will have their panel kit available soon and that is completely enclosed including on the top. So you can run it however you like! Thanks for watching and commenting.
