These Ike gauntlets are interesting to watch always enjoy them 🙂
Yup! 🙌🏽😁
Especially Ike comparisons.
@@kennetho5393 Definitely it helped me decide on my Ford Expedition Limited and since I'm looking for a similar vehicle next these videos are a great tool to have
Glad you like them!
You need to make a video Tacoma vs Buhanka😊
I love Ike videos. The Tacoma did better than I thought it would. Mr. Truck hit on something. Toyota never goes to top of class. I think, maybe, pushing those limits is what makes vehicles unreliable. Toyota's claim to fame is reliability and that's why they are number one. Everyone wants the fastest most powerful vehicle but when the average guy is spending so much money, he just wants to make sure it's not going to give him problems. Thanks Guys
Exactly what I was thinking, well said
The average Tacoma buyer wants a vehicle they can sell to the next guy for a little more.
If you listen closely to this video you can tell they were very biased to Tacoma.
Coil springs will wear out long before leaf springs, and they allow the truck to sway a lot more
This truck was really working hard to climb that grade. Has less hp and less torque than the Colorado. And since it was revving higher it's using more gas. He said he had the pedal on the floor to maintain 60 mph.
The Ike gauntlet is by far my favorite part of this whole channel. Love watching Andre and Mr Truck
That's not a very tough climb. I be more interested if they would try going to Leads, Co. at 11,000 ft. elevation. That would be a true test of what these trucks can or can't handle.
@@stevewainwright3344 if you paid attention at the very start of the video Andre says its at 11, 158 ft elevation . So using your figures this would be considered a tough climb, correct?
I loved this heavy duty comparison test. And here’s something I noticed between those 2 trucks while they were going up hill, and is that the temperature in the Toyota Tacoma kept steady and stable all the way up while climbing, whereas the temperature in the Chev Colorado increased and rose close to red line. Even when the Tacoma climbed at a higher rpm.
I think this is pretty good point to look at.
Very good observation and point!
This shows why its more reliable. Engine can handle quite a bit.
The temp your referring to going up was trans temp. Coolant for both stayed steady. They didn't have trans temp displayed on the Tacoma. It would have been on the right instead of mpg. I would have liked to see that.
The drone of the Tacoma would drive me crazy
I like the numbers comparison on the screen at the end of the video
Missing the left column saying what's what. like what is yes, and what's no.
I remember watching the 2016 Tacoma Ike Gauntlet video. That engine was screaming, it’s nice to see the new Tacoma doing much better
All those 3rd gen fanboys keep clamoring about the over stress on the 4 cylinder but compared to the V6 in this test it didnt look stressed at all like the V6
Agreed. I owned a gen3 and if you put anything at all behind the truck, it screamed even at sea level in Florida.
Gen3 owner, tow a 3000 plus lb boat ZERO issues
I love my 3rd gen but damn is that thing not even fun to drive on the interstate. The transmission flip flops gears on even the smallest incline on the road. If I wasn't so close to paying it off, I might consider a 4th gen. I just don't want to restart a loan and also the new Generation is just far too expensive for a midsizer.
@@Jayb21724 can it tow it? Yes. Will the engine like it? No. The question was about stress and the V6 is overstressed compared to the turbo 4
I loved this test. Here’s something I noticed, Tacoma climbed at at higher rpm and the temperature stay steady and didn’t increase as the Colorado did, which went close to red temperature line.
The true test would be what truck will be around the longest after 100,000 miles
And the resale value.
and if the frame is rusted out
Not the Colorado with that transmission temp so high.
@@punkrocker10115Toyota engineers be like "you don't need a transmission cooler".
Both might blow their transmissions, but time will tell.
@@AWDfreak the Toyota transmission is fine. You have no clue what you're talking about. 🤣 The junk 6l or 8l in the Colorado is not long for this world getting the 3/4s whereas the solid, tested aisin in the Tacoma is doing just fine.
Both trucks have a screen that looks like an afterthought.
Most vehicles do. I'd rather they left them out altogether for longevity sake.
Both are good enough for trucks. It doesn't need to look like a rhinestone cowboy setup like the lolram.
The fact that TFL does actual truck test with actual trucks is refreshing! Love you guys at TFL!
Badass towing video! Keep up the good work guys!
Kent getting married! Congratulations Mr. Truck!
And Mrs. Truck!
@@rts3613 She 'might not' consider Mrs. Truck to be a complimentary name (laughing)..
@@devildog5354it’s 2024. You never know 🤷🏼♂️ 😁
@@devildog5354 Especially if she beeps when she backs up.
Thanks
Looking forward to seeing the new ranger comparison in the mid-size Ike
Been looking at both trucks so this video was perfect. Love the ike gauntlet videos 👍🏻
Mr. Truck, Congrats on the announcement! Fun to see you're still using the tape to measure squat. An idea I suggested many years ago when TFL reviewed the Titon XD.. thanks, Jason.
Thanks
for some reason I find these ike gauntlet videos very relaxing, especially the winter ones
I'd like to see one of the many marauding Colorado bigfoot crossing the road in front of them!
Great comparison. Both trucks are a W in my books.
Yeah can't really find much issue with either. Extremely similar performances from both. Could use a bit more sound dampening in the Tacoma but obviously they're trying to keep curb weight and costs down.
Totally enjoyed the spontaneous format of these impressions!
Thank you.
I really enjoy the videos with Mr Truck and Andre “The New Mr Truck.” To me Mr Truck brings the wisdom and experience that a lot of videos are lacking. He’s seen and driven many models and versions of trucks and humbly explains how the new ones fit in. Great video gents.
Thanks
I love hearing Mr. Truck giving Andre crap about the color of his Chevy Colorado...
Yeah, Nitro Yellow? More like Urine Sample.
But everyone would love the color if it was on a Hyundai or Acura. lol. It’s no different from everyone always mentioning cruise control to Andre. The TFL channel conglomerate has turned into a politically biased *gm* troll. It’s sad to watch how they HATE on *gm* so unapologetically around these parts and make every excuse they possibly can make for the Japanese and South Koreans. 🙄
@@G-Rated Besides testing my cruise control to make sure it worked, I don't remember ever using it in 18 years of ownership on my 06 Frontier...
@@G-Rated They literally just gave the Colorado the win in this video over the Tacoma.
@@RecBuddha because it performed superiorly in the test. That has NOTHING to do with what I’m saying about bias and how *gm* is constantly *trolled* around these parts, and they welcome it. Nathan and Roman are literally *gm* trolls. They give Andre hell about his American purchase ALL OF THE TIME. The channel has become politically driven and biased, no one can deny it.
Pretty wild how far this truck size has come in the last 10 years! Both of those trucks did a great job, and with a 4 cylinder engine! The head to head challenge is always a blast on the Ike and made even better with Mr. Truck and Andre together. Also, thanks to the crew driving the camera truck!
Don't forget that 4cyl has snail power
@@Likethetacosauce Dig that! My Alfa has it and I love it!
@@hhjones9393 90 240sx has one and it makes all the right noises
Thanks
The growth in the size of midsize trucks is mostly due to how the government uses wheelbase to calculate emissions regulations and the increasingly stringent crash testing requirements.
Congrats kent! Youre the true mr.truck, the og.
Silverthorne to the tunnel is a great test! Nicely done !
For all the “Temperature” comments. The temp gauge is misleading. It’s a zoomed in version of the gauge. If you go through the info screen you can see the actual temp. But for comparison, in the video you can look at the temp at 19:30 while he is sitting still. The gauge shows the temps pretty close to the same as full speed at 18:33. It’s not getting hot. And, I’ve towed with my TB all over Colorado and Utah in late July with outside temps at 114°. The truck does just fine. Not problems with getting hot.
Agreed. I also have a ‘23 Colorado trail boss, the temps are at their normal position.
The hottest I've ever seen in the past 10k miles in my 23 colorado was 214° and that was actually offloading for several hours in 4hi
I like Mr Truck’s comments about how Toyota doesn’t get ahead or leap forward of others. I gotta agree. My 20 Tacoma is a nice truck, but my 87 pickup & 02 were fantastic trucks for their time.
I had an 86 4Runner and later a 94 Pickup. Both had the 22RE. Legendary engine in terms of reliability. They had one flaw that was easily fixedthough The timing chain would wear out and start slapping against the water pump cover until it wore through. If you didn't catch it in time it would over heat the engine, warp the heads and you were screwed.
The moment we all have been waiting for. Perfect timing to listen to it on the hamster wheel this AM too.
I love hearing all the taco guys worried about if Toyotas put enough hot sauce on their new trucks 💋
Ordered my 2024 Colorado ZR2 in November. Best looking truck on the market.
Have you driven one? I was super unimpressed by the motor. I've owned an F150 Ecoboost for 9 years and the 2.7L in the ZR2 felt really weak to me despite making more torque on paper and being 1200 lbs lighter.
I walked away from the test drive pretty disappointed. I had pretty high hopes for the truck.
@Jay-me7gw I have and it wasn't that bad. I'm not buying it to drag race 😊. I have watched hundreds of videos of people towing and using it off road. They all seemed to like how it handles.
@@captaincrypto9660 I wasn't buying it to drag race either, but I do wanna tow and was looking for low end torque. It was not there.
@@Jay-me7gwlikely due to 3.42 gears for fuel efficiency.
@@googleaccount2637 It has an 8 speed transmission with a very deep first gear and tight ratio spacing. As long as you hit the RPM you need to, it doesnt matter what the axle gears are. It a combination of both the transmissions gearing and the axle gearing to give you an overall gear reduction that matters.
This isnt 1995 where we had 4 speed transmissions with horrible gear ratios and NEEDED 4.10's just to make them not suck.
Im sure the 3.31 and 3.42 and 3.55's in the 2500 and 3500 HD diesel trucks are for efficiency too?
A Tacoma hunting for gears, never heard that before!! 🤪🤣🤣
it sounded like it was hunting gears when i slowly passed by. i was sorta hunting gears myself in my manual transmission car. couldn't find one it was happy in and eventually dropped out behind them to find a spot the car was happy in.
This is the video I always look for with a new truck! Mr Truck and Andre are iconic.
Thanks
thanks
Great video and interesting results. As a native coloradan that tows in the mountains often, it seems to me that despite these trucks tow ratings, I think towing this much weight might be best left for larger trucks. Good to know they can do it however!
Agree if this heavy towing is a regular thing. But if I buy a Tacoma I'll know that I can get something like a U-Haul trailer and pull it fully loaded with no problem.
Be interesting to see how the Tacoma performs as it gets used. Andre had lots of issues with his truck when he first bought it, dead batteries, failed updates, dead back up camera. Lets see what happens with the Taco.
That’s a GM though
The Chevys are suffering from stretched timing chains at 30-40K miles. A bear of a job to do, and very expensive. The price difference is well worth it and if you keep the truck a long time it will be cheaper to own. Also better resale on the Toyota.
@@ehiggins7476 we don't really know it will be cheaper to own or more reliable as it's brand new. The new Tundra didn't sound like it fared too well on reliability front.
@@jimsomerville3924 see I'm biased. I have a 2023 tundra. I bought it in 2022. It's 14 months old. I haven't had a single issue. It's been wonderful.
@@ehiggins7476That is on the old 3.6 engines but more prevalent to about the 2014’s ish. But most of the issues was lack of maintenance ie oil changes. Which most new engines that suffer from timing chain issues is the oil needs to be changed regularly. Ford had their engines suffer as well. I did belive Toyotas on some ealrier 3.5's had the same issue because oil pressure is used o lubricate the timing chains and oil pressure is need for the tensioners as well.
Congrats Mr. Truck on your up coming marriage! Nice guys like you deserve a lifetime of happiness and companionship. Wishing you the best. 🙂
Yay! It’s always a good morning waking up to Mr. Truck and Andre
Thanks
great video I would like to see the i-forcemax done next because of the nearly 100lb.-ft more torque and about 50 more horsepower. i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder 278 hp
317 lb-ft of torque vs Hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain 326 hp 465 lb.-ft of torque at just 1700 rpm
You can disable adaptive cruise by holding the cruise button for 3 seconds when turning it on. Then it is regular cruise control. Coming from experience, even the 3rd gen Tacoma is much better at automatically grade shifting when you use cruise control.
Same with GM trucks. Work better with CC on.
It's always good to see Mr. truck and Andre.
Thanks
Cool! I was at VAIL last month. Missed you guys. 😂 Rented a JEEP 4xe & that motor ran constantly trying to charge that cold battery. Eventually turned that off & got much better fuel economy.
Since there are three separate assembly plants for the Toyota Tacoma, ( yours was assembled in the Guanajuato, Mexico plant), and the Baja California Norte, (Tijuana, Mexico) plant, and the San Antonio, Texas plant, if there is a difference in quality control. I bring up this question since I had a 2020 Tacoma, that was assembled at the Guanajuato, Mexico plant. That truck with only 45k miles was totaled out in a severe frontal impact accident last year. I purchased another 2020 Tacoma truck, this one being assembled at the San Antonio, Texas plant. I have noticed that this newer truck, for lack of a better word, feels "tighter", in regards to engine response, and in the braking, as well. Both of mine have the 6 speed manual transmission, (I loathe automatic transmissions). Great comparison that you guys always do, out on the ultimate real world test loop, thank you!
They stopped building tacos in texas years ago i think
They only build in Mexico now. They stopped building in Texas with this new generation. In theory though it should not matter. There is a thing called quality control and it makes the quality even across the plants. In theory.
@@is6566 Thanks, I was not aware that the San Antonio, Texas Tacoma assembly plant, was shut down.
@@carlc5748they only build Tundras and Sequoias now
@@carlc5748 It didn't shut down, it just stopped building Tacomas and now only builds Tundras.
So glad to see Mr Truck on the show more often as of late. He was greatly missed during his hiatus.
I LOVE that Tacoma but I love that color of the Trail Boss. But I THINK I love your hat even MORE!!
It would be epic if you were able to film the Best man speech. I love the channel been a fan for years!
I had really bad luck with one of the 2018 Chevys we bought. I only have 1 Toy right now (02 Tacoma), but the company has 2 Tundras that are outlasting everything else. Peace, Love!!
Being specific that "2018" was a completely different platform. This Colorado was all new last year.
@@swampfoxpicks6908well that don’t excuse GM from building junk.
@@rickeycooley9139 I do apologize sir for pointing a difference in model years. Please forgive me
Don't know if Mr. Truck was being cheeky right at the beginning with his cruise control comment. If Roman said it, I'd know he was busting Andre's chops. With Mr. Truck, he may have really forgotten Andre's Chevy came without it......😂😂😂
Also with his this is an 03' 04'????
It came without it because he wanted it to come without. I’m starting to think y’all can’t find much else bad to say about Chevrolet so y’all resort to keeping this optional CC feature thing alive.
@@G-Rated wrong. He has admitted he didn’t realize he ordered without. I have no issue with his truck or Chevy.
I still can't get over the fact that Chevy still offers some trims without cruise control. That can't be a very costly accessory! Would be a deal killer for me, I do a lot of highway driving.
@@craigstark2712 Please get over it. Not a single Chevy customer has complained, yet here you are. They apparently know their customer better than you know auto manufacturing processes.
Thanks for the real world test. I really appreciate it. In your newer video towing after your repair, you checked the transmission temp and found it hot. I wonder if you did that during this test. second question, I pulled my 4800lb camper up and down the same route with my 200 series. Engine had plenty of power but Transmission got hot. Found out later for the 200 series you should take it out of Drive and put it into a gear. The heat is caused by the tranny looking for the ight gear going back and forth. Does tow mode prevent that?
Wonderful video! You’re both fun to watch… Were the Colorado’s engine and transmission close to overheating on the way up the Ike? It looked like it on the gauges. Thanks for doing these videos!
Thanks
Really looking forward to the highway mpg loop comparison between these two. I think the Tacoma will actually come out on top.
There blue berry taco did 24 hwy and like 12.5 towing. Albeit it was raining and windy they said
Mr truck - Is this a 2004 or 2003? 😂😂
I don’t think Andre caught the humor 😂.
Me too, Mr Truck...me too🙃
He's so annoying. I wish I could mute him. He always says the same exact crap all the time
@@Travisj9935just like your mom
@@samgford😂😂😂
Great video, curious to see the Hybrid Taco do this test and see what the extra juice could do.
Problem with the hybrid is the lower tow and haul stats - that battery means a big hit in numbers.
Basically nothing in real world terms. Just like guys were super hyped about the e-torque's affect on performance with the new Ram 1500 when it came out. Everyone heard the electric motor was going to boost the torque and the hype train was in effect. Problem is that torque generated by an electric motor falls dramatically with RPM and the battery doesn't have huge reserves, so it's not going to matter with testing on the Ike Gauntlet.
Great to see Mr. Truck again, hope you are doing well.
Thanks
Adaptive cruise but no trailer brakes??? So the opposite of the Colorado. Love these industry standards.
The advantage I see in the Taco is it’s available with a 6’ bed, if it was still available with a regular cab it’d be about perfect.
If that's what you want in a midsize with almost a 132 inch wheelbase. At that point I would just buy a fullsize.
@@swampfoxpicks6908I own a f150 with a 5.5’ bed that is about worthless, it’s a good thing I have a F350 flatbed to do real stuff with. The F150 is paid for so I’ll keep it awhile longer but it’ll be the last stumpy bed I’ll buy.
A full size is a much wider and taller truck NOT just longer by a foot.
@@swampfoxpicks6908 I’ve got a full size with a 5.5 bed and I regret buying it. All my previous trucks had 6-6.5’ beds.
@@is6566 Really!?!
Thank You Andre @ Mr Truck love to watch gauntlets my favorite part of the show ( Ron
Great video, big fan of the Colorado and Canyon trucks. GM doing a great job in the mid truck market.
The Tacoma looked more stable and it maintained it's coolant temperature which is typical Toyota. That's part of the reason they are so reliable. I've owned two Tundras for well over a decade and they are always rock solid on temperatures and oil pressure regardless of conditions. The Chevy did show a rise in temps. I'd buy the Tacoma.
Yeah but remember that the tacoma they are using its a higher trim level over the trail boss....
@@user-sq5co8pj9l I don't think it makes any difference. I'm talking about basic fundamentals like cooling and stability.
I'm surprised that it hasn't been brought up that the Colorado was danger close to over heating and the Taco was still in normal op temps
How do you know the taco was at normal temps? Did you see a gauge that said hot the temp was? I didn’t see one
I’ve been waiting a long time for this video😁
Hate that I had to sell my 2017 tacoma with everything I had done to it. Gears, tune, setup for overland. Buuutt towing sucked even when stock. I was only towing 3k but it was terrible. So glad I did not wait to see how this new tacoma worked out. I took almost all the stuff off my taco and traded it for a tundra. Leaps and bounds a better vehicle. Sucks its huge but the added rear room is nice. Glad I can put things behind my seats.
so excited to see how the iforce max hybrid performs
yeah. that 400+ ft lbs of torque should make it interesting
@@providentpathfinders219would it be able to sustain all ghat torque all the way up the hill though?
That's what I wanna see as well.@@ALMX5DP
@@providentpathfinders219 Since the colorado is already 430lbs torque we already know the outcome. Just means the peddle on the tacoma wont be smashed to the floor as much.
It wont make a difference. Watch the Tundra iforce max video. The electric motor does nothing except for the initial acceleration and then abruptly shuts off at 50 mph. So you just get to carry an extra 500 lbs up the hill.
The tacoma system is identical to the tundras.
No cruise, no deal. It's a MUST-have for me!
Blah blah blah
So get cruise then
I think they meant they were not going to use the cruise. Both trucks have Cruise Control. (Tacoma-27:54)
@@SCBMD2020the Chevy doesn't have cruise control.
@@stephenj4937 Andre didn’t check the box. That’s on him not the truck.
Love your Ike Gaunlet test of the new Tacoma. No mention of how the engine temps and trans temps were performing? (Even in cold conditions) What kind of Boost pressure were you seeing on the climb? Thx
Andre would you put the new tacoma to work on the farm to see what David thinks about it. Thanks for using your colorado again.
Great review, thank you. We are looking into the long bed midsized truck with quad cab. Toyota is looking good. And my Camry has 307,000 miles on it. 😊
One tough Camry you got! One owner I’d guess.
Third owner. Spark plugs, brakes and normal maintenance mostly.
What year Camry u got? My mom still has her 2002 Camry, RN it has 320k miles and still feels brand new.
Considering the torque deficit of the Tacoma compared to the Colorado, I was surprised to see the Tacoma hold it's own on the Ike. For me, this shows that these trucks are very capable of towing well up to their maximum ratings under extreme conditions.
I’d like to see the Taco try and pull 7700 pounds. Oh, that’s right, it can’t. They gave it all the beans at a lower weight. The Chevy would be like “Hold my latte while I easily roll up this mountain”. Haha
@@tommybruen4686huh? Sure it isn’t rated as high but with this same weight they both performed nearly identical yup the hill, with a couple of advantages noted for the Tacoma in other aspects.
@@ALMX5DPPulled identical because they stop accelerating at 60. That would mean the chevy was 3 secs faster from 35 to 60 at toyotas max rating
@@EGGINFOOLS seems pretty similar to me even if the Colorado was a smidge quicker right at the beginning.
@@ALMX5DPactually pretty embarrassing for the Colorado considering it has way more like 30 HP and about 100 more torque
Great video. Thanks. I really like the Colorado.
My friends have a lot of really old Taco , and they sure out last the new generation of trucks . Must them are used for hunting and fishing in my northern Ontario area. They have high clearance and very reliable in the bush road
All in all, I like the Colorado better b/c of the noise issue and the trans constantly shifting. And look at the cost! No brainer...
Well you must not have any, because the Toyota is FAR better in every way possible.
I was considering purchase of a 2024 Colorado until I learned it only comes with a 5'2" bed......
@@user-tg8do2kr4v Except, you know, every measurable metric where it looses. Other than that it's great.
What was the transmission temp on the way up? Does it have a cooler on the trans?
I’m curious, too. From what I could see on the gauges, both the engine and transmission were very close to overheating on the CO on the way up Ike. Incorporating data like temperatures would be an interesting addition to these tests.
It would have been interesting to monitor boost once at 60mph up the hill. I know I see a lot of sustained boost of 5+ when towing my 5000lb boat at 70+ mph on the interstate with my 2023 Trail Boss.
In the Tacoma, do the red indicators on the dash by the speedometer and the tachometer only light up during braking in tow/haul mode? Or also when not towing?
I haven't watched a Andrey and Mr. Truck Ike video in a long while. This was damn good!!!!
You must have not listened very closely, are you would have noticed they were biased toward the Tacoma, even though it was working way harder than the Chevy climbing that grade. He said he had the pedal on the floor to keep it at 60 and it was way louder in the cab with those high revs.
@@stevewainwright3344 I was referring to the fun factor of listening to the two of them. Andrey is excited about the new Taco. I take that into account. I will say this, the fact that Chevy cost $44K and doesn't have cruise control makes it a looser every time.
The Chevy was $41k NOT $44k. 10% less than the Tacoma.
@@is6566 Okay, no cruise control on a $41K vehicle is still an absolute "NO" for purchase consideration.
Congratulations Kent...a new young lady friend
Thanks
Any idea when bed covers will be available for the 24 tacos?
Kent!!! Cool to see him again!!!
2:12 "And we'll not using cruise control" Mr. Truck taking a jab at the Chevy Colorado's lack of cruise control. 😂
After asking if the Truck is a 2003 or 2004 model.
Love it!
We need a Mr. Truck wedding video.
Thanks, it might happen
Just curious, you mentioned before putting 33 Inch tires on . I ordered a TRD sport premium(CDN) c/w 18 Inch rims. Was wondering max tire size you guys worked out.
Agree: "The Ike gauntlet is by far my favorite part of this whole channel."
Andre absolutely rocking that hat!
Didn't André software update his colorado to get the higher power numbers from the engine?
How much would that cost if you ordered it from factory?
Was that included in the listed price in this video?
Back in 2023 the higher HP software update was $395. In 2024 the Trail Boss comes standard with the higher HP engine, matter of fact GM dropped the mid HP engine on the Colorado.
@@theplayernkc Was the 2023 mid hp the same price as the new 2024 Ho ?
Turbo engine can be tuned for more power by simply adding boost and fueling/spaek adjustments. Something tuners do all the time with turbo engines and usually net 50hp and 100lb of torque. GM is just offering one from the factory before deciding just to give the high output on all of them. All that exta boost though could be detrimental to your drivetrain without the supporting upgrades
@@perpellethe horse power has been the same the torque was the number that changed.
@@beexiong2995 The Colorado Turbo Max engine was built for the higher HP and Torque numbers. That's why you could never get the software upgrade on the base 4 banger turbo engine in the 2023 Colorado.
Awesome 👏 video
Thank you for watching.
I could watch Ivan and Mr. Truck all day. In fact, I have.
I’m personally a little skeptical of the twin turbo hybrid system. I know that setup is in other vehicles they have but I suppose only time will tell. We bought our 4runner specifically because of the 4L V6 and the track record for reliability. I’d be interested in the new Lexus gx with the twin turbo 6 cylinder.
That 4.0L fuel economy is painful though. Expensive to run.
I still have my 2011 Tacoma with 255k miles on it. That 4l can be put through hell and still looks beautiful. She is thirsty, but you don’t see broken down on the side of the road.
@@palebeachbumthat’s true. I also have a truck so it doesn’t bother me much personally. Just a trade off for reliability
They will be built to last longer. Less stress and more power.
Is that a tire pressure warning light on the chevy? Might affect towing mileage/brake applications
Did you watch the video? They addressed it twice.
One psi low on one tire will NOT set off a low tire pressure light ! All your tires must be under inflated, cold or not, you don't drive or tow unless you properly inflate the tires. Especially towing, which puts added load on the rear tires, and being low on air, they can Overheat the sidewalls, and cause a blowout !
Your excuses don't hold water, and you are Dangerous !
Absolutely!
@@jameslester4474 On my GM product, one tire below the setpoint absolutely sets off the light.
@@corystansburyon my GM product, I've seen individual tires quite low and it doesn't set the light off. I've seen a tire at 27psi on a cold morning and it complains in the app but it doesn't actually set the light off. Now, I have had a puncture before and the tire started deflating quickly and it set a light off before it dropped below 30psi. The system seems to be smarter than just 'you have low tire pressure'
Between the brake controller and cruise control, I’d choose cruise control.
The chat about MrTruck’s pending nuptials and retirement was the best part of the video!!
Remember this is a low optioned TRD off road too. No sliding rear window, cheaper interior. Those things are expensive
Low trim rado as well.
An cheap center screen
Nice test. A couple of spec differences that matter for towing: Colorado has an extra 300 lb payload capacity rating, and a 3 gallon larger fuel tank.
Andrea, it seems the head room is amazing, is your seat back leaned back? There room for a cowboy hat??
Really impressed with how mid sized trucks are evolving. They have the capability of full sized trucks from the late 1990s/early 2000’s. They are nearly as large too.
I really like both of these trucks, and it’s apparent that a lot of effort went into their designs. I think I prefer the bigger engine in the Chevy but the standard adaptive cruise on the Tacoma is really nice. The yellow Chevy is spec’d out very well except for the lack of cruise control. GM and Toyota both deserve the success that they’ll have with these models. I think they are a half step better than the Frontier, which is also a very good choice.
I’m interested in the hybrid Tacoma but I am sure it will cost far more than what’s reasonable - likely approaching the price of a Tundra or Silverado.
Yup, current mid size trucks are almost as big as my 2001 f150.
They might be large but the colorados interior was still cramped when i test drove them.
I would like to see the Ike Gauntlet test run in August in the summer heat. To test the vehicle’s cooling systems.
Agreed! Totally different tow at 90 degrees vs 20 degrees. Most consumers would be towing during the summer months, not the middle of winter.
I’ve towed with my TB in 114° heat throughout Colorado and Utah. The truck dose great. Never even moved the dial on temp for the engine or trans. Even on the Ike. The screen they show in the video is a zoomed in display of the top half of the range. There is another option with actual temp.
Yes, you came up with a great idea, I hope that TFL considers your suggestion!
@@tommybruen4686 What transmission temps were you getting?
Crazy how similar they tested. I would happily pay the extra for the Tacoma given you get adaptive cruise control, more comfortable seats, better ride from the suspension and LED lights.
Fun thing, on the new Tacoma, ANYTIME the brakes are used little brake lights show up at the bottom of the instrument cluster, even with cruise control on.
When Andre is rocking the cowboy hat, I’m in.
$45k for a Tacoma. Holy smokes
This episode should be a hint to consider resale value after 5, 10 and 15 years. You may "save" money upfront on the purchase but repairs. reliability, depreciation (cost of ownership) over time can change everything.
Well a mean a toyota depriciates a lot because you also pay a lot. Theyre often bought new and popular used because theyre affordable. My last honda cost 5000 dollars I probably spent 500 bucks on fixing and maintaining certain things plus gas and insurance cost a couple tires those were like 150 a peice. So if the car cost way more many moons ago you lost a lot of money buying it new and owning it. We sold the same honda for not much less than it cost to own it for 2 3 years.
Yeah plus resale is gonna be a crapshoot with these new trucks. Especially the Toyota since everything is new so don't know if the market will love this tacoma like the older reliable non turbo ones. Those non force induction buyers might jump over to the Nissan frontier.

@@Tech4Ten In the late 80's Toyota built turbo 4 cylinder trucks and some 4Runner's also had the turbo setup. Most are still on the road as well. This new turbo will prove to be bulletproof. People act as though Toyota/Lexus have never built turbos when that is far from the truth.
lol the Toyota guys are running out of excuses
Mr. Truck is right about the Tacoma. This truck may be a bit better than the previous model, but there are still many things they came up short on.
Looking forward to the Tacoma hybrid IForce TRD Pro runs on the IKE. It might have to be a TRD off road hybrid if the PRO isn't rated to tow 6500#. But, I'm curious how the extra HP, TQ and higher trim levels effect performance and sound levels.
This wasn’t even the largest engine that will be available in the Tacoma. It will be good to see this same test down in the Tacoma max engine. Great video as always.
The iforce max wont make a differnce. It will just add an extra 500 lbs the truck then has to haul up the hill.
