Congrats you’ve now spent 75k, 20k+ more than all the competitors, for a 4 cylinder hybrid turbo monstrosity, that was built in Mexico. How do you move production to Mexico and justify an obligatory 40% price bump? Insanity. Looks cool but fuck no at 70k. I’d buy a ZR2, for like 40k and call it a day.

That truck Tacoma looks nice with the 35s on it. One thing I realize that I see people putting bigger tires on vehicles is the gear ratio it’s gonna be off. It’s a little bit bigger so for people saying that four-cylinder can’t handle them big tires or the transmission kind of messes up because of the big tires well that is sometimes the case, but if you put a gear ratio in that front reartire what nice video keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see you next one. Thank you God bless.
I always watch a lot of these videos but never all of the builds, but I’m a huge Tacoma guy with two currently with a new TRD Pro on the way, so I’m here for the whole series
Would pick up a slightly used Chevy or GMC with the 3.0l diesel for a savings of give or take about $15k... almost triple the amount of truck, features and power.
This channel used to be entertaining. Now it’s all about give aways. What happened to the racing content & other fun stuff? 35’s do look good on the Taco
@@chriskolaska897 he has that GTR and has not been to a single roll race event with it yet. He can do entertaining stuff that’s totally legal. Like 4X4ing and so on.
Hey Mike, you can unbolt the cab mount that’s behind the front tire to give you more space, and or aftermarket adj upper control arms if you want to go bigger in the future.
For any vehicle it’s going to put more strain on the truck, but you can get wheels and tires that are lighter than most. Might be 10 pounds more then stock but at least they’re not 20 pounds heavier.
I’d be interested what the fuel mileage was before and after installing those 35’s. My gen 3 Taco went to sh**t after installing oversized 10 ply KO2’s. But, who cares it’s a truck.
Street Speed 717 Great Video I think it's awesome that a Stock Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro can fit 35s stock and I think those Methods Looks absolutely incredible on it and I think it needs an exhaust
Beautiful Taco ! But they are having some issues now and hope yours is a keeper. I would definitely be careful with all the modifications or it gives Toyota an option to not backup the warranty.
Even if you get a 35x12.50 only two select manufacturers tires measure to a true 35” but yes that is still a 35. I hate this discussion. A 315/70/17 is also equivalent.
I used to have an old Ford Explorer fieldbomber with 35 x 12.5 Thornbird swampers on it that rubbed so bad they polished the frame. I should have bought rim spacers but the mirrors were already blown off from slamming it between trees. Man, I miss that truck lol
There's a 0% chance that suspension in cycling and clearing 35's. I have a good deal of experience with 2nd and 3rd gen tacomas and the amount of cutting and clearance that is needed is massive.
I love a lot of things about the new Tacoma, and I can look past a lot of its flaws like interior room and comfort, but I just can’t deal with that motor, and I don’t mean the hybrid system, that could have stayed. Every manufacturer that has opted for a smaller motor and slapping a turbo on it, generally has had pretty bad motor issues of some sort. Toyota is dealing with it now on the Tundra, Ford went through it on almost every Eco boost, but especially in the trucks and SUV’s, and a few other brands as well. There would never be a replacement for displacement.
Those are the compression adjustments most likely if there is only one dial, if there are 2 dials then the lower one is usually rebound adjustment and upper is compression. The compression slows the rate of up travel; the higher the number, the more resistance to up travel you'll have.
Lowkey kinda hate the fact all the cool cars/trucks he gets are give aways .. I miss the old days where he built stuff for awhile , did cool stuff with them , review a little bit . And then give away
Sadly he absolutely hates Ford. He has some on the channel just to satisfy the Ford fans for a minute. When he does have em, he only drives em a couple times and they're gone. Shoot, he barely showed anything on the current F-250 giveaway.
I have an 08 tundra with an arb front bumper and smitty built rear bumper. Nice leveling kit and some off road tires. Bought it for $28k with 80k miles, I have 210k miles and all I’ve done is regular oil changes. $70k for this is dumb af
Theres a white one on Tacoma World that has 35s on it already looks so good. I love my 24 its my 6th one and its the best driving one yet. Few transmissions have gone out. Mind you the trucks have only been out for a few months and thats what warranty is for..Risk you take for buying the first year but so far mines been great 7500km
Looks SICK! You may be able to get those 35s even further from the rear wheel well and clear up space by pushing some more positive caster on alignment. Worked on my Toyotas
Just traded in my 23 Platinum Hybrid 70k before the recalls affect more than what they say. Back in a V8, for only 50k, feels and sounds better. Especially on the wallet
The trans issue can be solved by adding an after market trans cooler, really only happens when your pushing the truck to the limits for an extended period of time
You really should have done a full off road comparison between the Taco & a Colorado Bison!!! Would like to have known the weight difference between the stock wheel/tire combo & new ones!
These manufacturers are getting ridiculous. A tacoma was always an affordable, reliable, smaller truck for people. Now they're damn near 70k and its not just toyota but every damn manufacturer. Hell 70k on a truck or towards a house being a legit question is outrageous.
70k is Silverado ZR2 territory. There are certainly trade offs going full size vs mid size for off roaders, but then again a Colorado ZR2 can be had for low 50s. When it comes to Tacos though the Trail Hunter is the cooler trim of the two, but since you like going fast I guess the TRD Pro is more in line with what you like to do.
@@9663mu a TRD pro is not the same to a Bison. The Bison comes with 35s, and steel skid plates along with all of the standard ZR2 goodies. The TRD pro is running on 33s not nearly as many skid plates and the stock tires aren't nearly as off road worthy as the ones on the ZR2. The TRD Pro competes more with the standard ZR2 and should be similarly priced. Instead, you will have to shop TRD Offroad which isn't as off road worthy as a ZR2 if you're going by price.
The Bigger Tires May be an Issue for the Transmission. I was reading an article on this and Toyota said the New Transmission Had Some Issues When Using Bigger Tires, it has to do with the Programming. You Should Look Into This. 🌴🌴🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I remember looking at a fully loaded trd pro Tacoma and 4Runner 6 years ago 49k out the door 70K seems insane with the known issues these trucks are having
There’s 3 bolts you can unscrew on the cab mount to give you about 3 to 4 more inches of clearance
