I have a 21, plenty of power overall, but feel it’s a little down on torque. But I still enjoy it, just getting to 35k now

I own a 2022 SR5 V6 Tacoma 4 door 2WD made in Mexico and I love it. I bought it brand new in 2022. I haven't had any problems with it. it runs great, has enough power. It's great.

2018 Trd sport. 2 wheel drive. Over the years driving it I like it more and more. I would like a older diesel for doing truck stuff. But. The Tacoma. Is my daily driver. And actually. It has great horsepower for daily driving. And drives like a car. Very comfortable. Great truck

I bought the the last of the best 22TRD off-road six cylinder good years lasted well. It was a good year. just put on Michelin‘s at 32,000 miles. I love this truck to death..

I can agree wirh some of the shifting issues, mine holds gears longer than needed or downshifts to soon , my guess is the computer is trying to get the best fuel economy

Electrical steering tents to fail.

Why some time there is a knock noise?

Anyone having a timing chain cover oil leak? 2023 TRD Sport 2WD here with 2,200 miles and I've already got an oil leak.

Great video

I’m an old duffer and don’t need to race around like I did in my youth. That said, I installed a cold air intake and an OTT in my 23 TRD Off Road Tacoma with the TRD Performance exhaust. My Tacoma now has 318 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque. Yes, it will fly when I need it to. But most of the time I’m driving around 67 mph with the cruise set on 67mph at 1,500 RPM. But when I kick those horses under the hood, I’m glad to know that they will Get up and Go. I’m getting 22mpg at 82mph on the I-90 in Montana

At my age all I do is pee and 💩 but if you want the last of the good stuff this is it. Toyota went with the four cylinder turbo with all the pressure on the motor they won’t last this truck will be the last of the good ones👍

My 2020 has the aux tranny cooler. I think you’re right on the money.

Dang that red looks good! 👍

This engine got so much hate from the 4.0 fanboys and now they are quiet since the 3.5 is gone and replaced with a turbo 4. Wasn’t a fan of the 6 speed auto they put in this because it behaves weird after corners sometimes doing things like holding 2nd gear for much longer than it should

It’s have turboo or not?

Got exact same one! even rain guards lol mine is a 2023

Is this the same engine Toyota puts in the Camrys v6 as well?

They are under power but that's why they last so long !!

I absolutely Love my 23 TRD Off Road double cab with the premium and technology pkgs and 6’ bed. I’ve modified it a bit so I’m getting more horsepower, torque and mpg. We normally keep our vehicles for 15-20 years, so at my age I’ll probably be dead in 20 years.

It has more than enough. Unfortunately now these trucks are 4 cylinder single turbos. Weak small engines that need to rev high for uneven power

Barcelona red gang!! I agree, I find v6 Tacoma has plenty of power! Im pretty confident that this generation will outlive the new 4th gen!

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.

Premature Passenger side exhaust valve failures.

its the same as in the last RX450H Lexus ? mine does not have D4S but Atkinson cycle in the old 450H ...its 2GR-FXE

Barcelona Red Metallic! The nicest looking truck on the road!

Agree these things will last if taken care of ,traded in my 01 prerunner with 310k on it for a 23 trd of and i love it,had frame rust issues and only replaced radiator when plastic cracked and water pump everything else original parts, thing still ran like a champ 2.7l bullet proof🙂👍

Ford does have port injection and direct injection on the 3.5 ecoboost and 2.7 ecoboost from 2018 and up. Also the 2.0 ecoboost and 2.3 ecoboost now have direct injection and port injection as of 2023.

I like your truck. Noticed you are in automotive repair. Did you purchase any extended warranty?

On my one year anniversary of my 2023 v6 with 16000 miles I had to have the engine pulled out to replace the timing chain cover for leaking oil. 👎

Camry engine in a truck 😂

I’ve had my SR for almost a year, I really don’t understand the complaints about this drive train. Mine drives 50 miles a day to work and back, I average about 25MPG a week with two 70 mile trips to pick and deliver 8 large bales of hay for our horses every 2 weeks to a ranch up in the hills. Never had a single lack of power issue at any time, it shifts smooth and runs like a top, the truck is an absolute joy to drive.

To loud, timing cover will leak and cost over $4500, my rear differential was replace 6 months after I purchase it took them over 5months to fix, transmissission problems.

Hope much is it, I’m thinking of buying one

Super nice taco

Almost 300 hp, 140 mph on speedometer, Tow almost 7000 lbs, shifts so smooth you can hardly tell it. The japanese engineers are laughing at the nay sayers...Resale unbelievable.

I bought a 2023 Off Road 4x2 in Barcelona Red. I trust the 3.5 v6 and its the reason i bought it...longevity.

Some great points, thanks

How's the driver seat comfort

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.

Excellent review of this Toyota engine! Very informative and helpful! Wish you would make another video on this pickup. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Getting my 22 Taco tuned w/OTT was the best $400 I ever spent. Love this engine

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?

Love my '21 trd off-road with 6-speed manual in army green. The OEM battery is sh**. It will corrode terminals and cables and hold down bracket in record time. Use it as a core and replace it with AGM Battery. Odyssey, Optima, or an alternate brand, it will no longer be a threat to your electrical system.

I have the 2023 Limited NightShade Edition. The Engine is a Non-Turbo, Normally aspirated engine. It creates torque at higher Rpm's because it's a short stroker! With a Turbo, it would not be a gasoline sipper as it seems to be. I find it does the job beautifully! I don't mind having to push a little farther on the gas pedal, and listen to it wind up to higher Rpms. Mine will hold 80 mph and deliver me 20mpg on the flat roads no wind. get into hills, and the transmission has to compensate for the lack of torque at lower rpms. Because the torque converter can fully or partially unlock, it seems to shift more than necessary. It is really the torque converter unlocking fully then partially locking and then fully locking that is a little much. But I don't mind. Toyota builds the best transmissions in the world, so it doesn't worry me in the least.

Why do I see some sr5 with turn signal mirror is that a add on ?

What is a sprint booster for faster acceleration and where might you find this thanks

Do you know if these 3.5 V6 engines have a timing belt or a timing chain?

I was wondering, Do you know if these 3.5 V6 engines have a timing belt or a timing chain?

I have this same truck. I like it! Hello to all my fellow Taco owners! 👋😁

How much was this?
