Last night I filled up at Sam’s Club in Pearl City, O’ahu, Hawai’i for $3.939/gallon. We finally dropped under $4.00. Normal stations are still over $4.50
Not to split hairs but wouldn't it be 7%? Factory diameter 31.6", new tires 33.8". So multiply the dash odometer by 1.07 for accurate distance travelled & to get really specific plug that number in against gallons at pump. I haven't measured those Nittos so trusting online calculator for the 285 75 17 diameter of 33.8". Same goes for speedometer, whatever you see on dash, add 7%. Example 60 = 64.2 mph
Amazing 🤩. I agree with you. California looks beyond green. So beautiful 🤩. With each part you add to the off-road. It looks better and better. Today got added to the waitlist for a Solar Octane TRD Off-road. 😎 Keep up the great work. :D
Your truck looks absolutely awesome. Personal I am having a tough time justifying buying a new tacoma because my 2019 TRD 4x4 is giving me 0 problems. I used to run AT tires but last year I decided to just go with Michelin defender LTX which just do everything well. Obviously one shouldn't go rock crawling with these even though there are plenty of RUclips videos out there with people actually doing it. I do so much long distance driving myself and I seem to be able to average between 19.5 to 21 on average and the best I have done is 25.9 hwy only. Everything is stock on my truck but it is time for me to upgrade my suspension because the stock suspension on these really such butt.
Ignore the losers complaining about sponsorships bro. Ungrateful idiots can’t even respect the amazing content you’re giving us for free. Thanks for all the videos as always! Keep it up!
I appreciate that! I’m not letting it get to me, just wild that people don’t get why creators do it. I get spammy crap promotions are annoying. So I don’t do those
@@TRDJon boggles my mind lol. They expect free, high quality, content and don’t seem to understand the costs involved in making these videos. It’s not like you’re pushing bad products too, all your sponsored videos are solid products that actually serve a purpose for the followers to consider buying. Some people man!
You’re right in my neck of the woods (Rancho Santa Fe). Here in SD you can see the beach, mountains, and deserts all in a day. My 3rd Gen has conquered much of Borrego (Fonts Point, Split Mtn, Wind Caves, Borrego Springs sculptures, and just about everything in between). Opted for a Kodiak Canvas flex bow in lieu of a roof top tent. I’ve got the smaller Anker powerhouse, which is still great for 1-2 nights of camping. Thanks, Jon!
oh sweet drive!!! love that area, would be dope to visit one day! I am looking at all my options when it comes to my basic build for the SR, Top of the list is the Pre-Load Collar, I "Might" do a Westcott Pre Load Collar Vs the Traditional Spacer Lift shoot out and list the pros and cons of each! Yeah, the big boy (Tundra) is more comfortable, powerful, but the size can be a issue, the midsize truck line is where its at for tight trails!
Jon, Do you plan on installing the beat-sonic amp in the tacoma? Really cant fathom how much of an improvement that little unit can make, would love to hear one in a taco first hand but understand thats nearly impossible at this point, Ive got the JBL system is my sr5 & really a waste of money, system is lethargic, I expected more.....
Larger tires due to increased circumference have a longer distance to travel for one revolution, making your odometer tick up at a slower rate, and also makes your speedometer read slower than you are actually moving. So even though your tires are heavier, reducing mpg's, your vehicle thinks it traveled less distance for a given gas tank, which it then calculates a lower fuel economy than it actually should be.
With the larger circumference wheels / tires, is your speedometer accurate wrt the mileage and gas mileage ? I would use a GPS speedometer on your phone to verify the truck speedometer with the new tires 😊
Awesome! The West Coast and Arizona are beautiful areas. Arizona, my home state. Question. Given you lifted and increased the tire size, do you need to recalibrate your speedometer?
Overall what did you think about westcott pre load so far on/off road? You did mentioned on RUclips it more stiff on pavement is it worth it for long term?
Does any company out there sell some sort of calibration system to connect or upload to the truck so that it reads the correct miles traveled & MPG based on new tire size? 🤔
Shouldve waited. 4th gens are already piling up on dealership lots. They cant sell these, even with discounts. Seems the Toyota customer values reliability and 3rd gen values are increasing as you'd expect.
Why does nobody use an app like Fuelly? It does all the math for you…just input your odometer mileage, price per gallon, and number of gallons per fill up and the app does the rest and tracks all the stats.
DID TrdJon sell out to sponsorships and Toyota products? He's transparent but will always wave his Pom Poms for Toyota vehicles! That's why he's invited to Toyotas presses on new vehicles? 😮 Untamed is more transparent and won't sell out like this channel has become unfortunately? 😕 No hate Jon, but your channel is becoming less desirable, since you've been in bed with Toyota
Oh I get you. I’m not 100% sure on this one if it has that feature for if it was plugged in at your house or something. I mainly will be using this for camping purposes. They do make larger units for homes though.
Love the exterior and interior, absolutely hate the drivetrain. 😕 But keep comparing it to the small dainty never worked like a truck Lexus models to only find yourself with expensive repairs before 100k miles.
@TRDJon If I'd risk it, it would be with a Toyota product. Time will tell if they did it right I guess. Still wish everyone would put their foot down and say no, we want the tried and true V6 option.
@billw8476 That would definitely make us Tacoma fans happy. If we all stuck together boycotting the 4 cylinder drivetrains, we would definitely get our V6 back sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, Americans spend more time arguing with each other about politics and race, we can never get anything done right.
With the content he is giving and the traveling he does how do you expect him to finance this channel? What world do you live in where money doesn’t exist?
Exactly bro. I turn down SO many sponsorship sall the time. I only showcase products I legit use as well. I could probably double my income if I I did all the sponsors that reach out, but what’s the point if I don’t believe in the products. Thanks for understanding all! Plus too, $150 off. Can’t beat that.

Once America gets rid of our Communist Puppet, then Trump will allow Americans to drill our own oil again
Nice!!! That’s good to hear bro!
According to the math, the speedometer is off 8% so you are getting 19.33 MPG. Not bad for that tire size and all the ups and downs of the road.
Oh nice!!! Thanks so much for that!!!!!!

Your truck is the best looking one I've seen so far. Great build man.
Glad you like it! I appreciate that!
truck looks great!
Thanks 👍
Great video! Really dig your truck build its clean functional and the best I have seen so far for the new taco
Thanks a bunch!
I know what this is… it’s an espresso machine.
Somebody has a short dump rear tailpipe already. It stops just past the axle.

Your tire size and wheel size will affect the accuracy of your MPG if you don’t flash the computer
Selling flashlights and Bluetooth speakers like its futuristic technology

So even though your tires are heavier, reducing mpg's, your vehicle thinks it traveled less distance for a given gas tank, which it then calculates a lower fuel economy than it actually should be.
Yes thank you. So we are off around 6-8% from what I’ve seen and have been testing
Hey! That looks like Ocotillo Wells SVRA! My son works there. Hope you enjoyed it.
I did!
With the larger circumference wheels / tires, is your speedometer accurate wrt the mileage and gas mileage ? I would use a GPS speedometer on your phone to verify the truck speedometer with the new tires 😊
Per a GPS and some speed radars on the highway it’s off about 3-4 MPH
Awesome! The West Coast and Arizona are beautiful areas. Arizona, my home state.
Question. Given you lifted and increased the tire size, do you need to recalibrate your speedometer?
I’m off about 3 mph. Not sure if there is a recalibration available yet
Overall what did you think about westcott pre load so far on/off road? You did mentioned on RUclips it more stiff on pavement is it worth it for long term?
It’s great on road and light off roading. But if you are really bouncing around it can be a tad stiff
Does any company out there sell some sort of calibration system to connect or upload to the truck so that it reads the correct miles traveled & MPG based on new tire size? 🤔
Not that I know of at the moment.
I bet you were nervous going through those tight trails! I know I would be 😂. Wouldn’t want to scratch that brand new ride
Dude for sure was!
Im from JAX to LAX, will back to JAX
Nice!!! Florida is amazing for sure!
So many nice areas in CA, but can’t beat San Diego area in weather, easily best weather in the whole country.
Oh 100% it is. Hard to beat for sure

Truck goals
You got it dude!
Vista/Oceanside/Carlsbad, my old stomping grounds.
Miss it man!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How the seat comfort after owning for a while?
God I want one. These trucks are so beautiful.
Really considering selling my 22 Civic Hatchback and 11 F150 for one.
Don’t bro wait a couple years so it gets ironed out.. don’t wanna loose two vehicles for one that’s having problems rn
What problems?
So has Toyota made it ant easier to calibrate the speedometer when you increase the tire size?
Not sure at all honestly.
How would I be able to order one? There literally isn’t a TRD pro tacoma option on the Toyota website!!
The TRD Pro will be available in a few months
What lift did you install? I’m looking into Icon 3 inch. Thanks
Westcott pre collar
Would like to see more shots of the taco off roading in these videos. Maybe a drone?
Kinda hard to drive and fly a drone at the same time 🫠
Noted! I had one but I couldn’t use it a lot in FL. Would love that for the West Coast
Can wescott designs reroute the tailpipe out side of truck?
Have a product coming for it too
What offset ru running
17-18 MPG is a dream to me, my Tacoma averages 12.5 MPG
Oh wow 😳
@@TRDJon yeah, I unfortunately over modded it 😂
How are you enjoying the ride and are you getting any rub on those tires? Thanks!
No rub at all. Tiny bit rougher but the ridge grapplers are great.
@@TRDJon love it. Thanks man.
👍
Why does nobody use an app like Fuelly? It does all the math for you…just input your odometer mileage, price per gallon, and number of gallons per fill up and the app does the rest and tracks all the stats.
Cuz the odometer is off due to the bigger tires
@@TRDJon ooooh lol I’m dumb 🙃
Fuelly lets you input tire size too…had to check 🫠 just tryin to give back 🙃
Maybe I’ll look at that!
Left coast deserts are unmatched for off road adventures….
Facts
Left coast!! 😂
It’s getting ridiculous living in this left coast area.
He is slowing moving away from showing the vehicle and now showing products ..smart more sponsorship more money right? No
One video….in the hundred I have posted with a sponsorship. Cry less man. Holy smokes.
That looks fun!
Great time for sure
Deciding on what to get the 2024 Tacoma or 4Runner 😭😭😭 hardest choice of my life any help?
I'd do a Tacoma since it is newer with improved driving powertrain and tech
@@TRDJon thanks for getting back to me
How do you feel in the tacoma ? What’s your height?
I’m 5’11’’ I honestly feel better in it then I do my 4R. Back seat space is hindered though a bit
you do look like a California boi
Getting some southern words in my mind but always California at heart
do not like the new 4th gen Tacoma but damn that underground color is sick
Looks great for sure!
I didn't know you were ex military what branch and what base in AZ were you at?
Air Force. I was at Luke AFB
@@TRDJonAhhh me too. I was a dirt boy from 01-07
Oh no way! I was there from 2013-16 ish.

Watch less man if you can’t see the bigger picture and only have tunnel vision. No problem to me. Feel free to unsubscribe.
@TRDJon I've never been subscribed and just think you might have sold out? I'll keep watching and hope you see 👀 where us common folk come from?
Do you regret going from Tundra to the Tacoma as far as cabin size and space?
I still have the Tundra. But no
When you up hill sounds like running out power or just me? I been see the same on matt too
Sounds like a diesel to me. The one hit I stopped on I was in 2wd and the traction control stopped me cuz it was slipping
Do a muffler delete video please.
No muffle delete but I’ll be doing a tail pipe delete
@@TRDJon While doing the tail pipe delete. Could you also just take a short clip with the muffler deleted ? 🙏🏻
2 questions for you
Is the price difference from the gen 3 and new Tacoma worth it?
2nd does the anker have a ups function?
Truck looks awesome.
What’s an ups function?
I mean it’s hard cuz it is so much more $$. But I really like it. It’s a very big improvement I feel over the out going gen.
@@TRDJon
Ok
Uninterruptible Power Supplies
If you have it plugged in and the power goes out it keeps working. If I typed that right? 😂
Oh I get you. I’m not 100% sure on this one if it has that feature for if it was plugged in at your house or something. I mainly will be using this for camping purposes. They do make larger units for homes though.
87 in a turbo truck????
Owner's manual for the 2024 says 87 is fine and Toyota is pretty good at tuning that kind of thing out of the factory in my experience.
Yessir
Plus did you see the Premium price? No thanks lol
Jon, what tire pressure did you run ?
Around 15 psi
What brand rock sliders?
Westcott designs
$4.69 a gal!!! Damn!
Just dumb
No blown diffs yet oh boo.
Nope. Used the crap outta it too
Samko did an awesome video destroying the new Tacoma. Plastic skid plates, lockers hard to engage, spare tire location , all terrible.
Sorry that person had such an issue.
@@TRDJon he just reported on what Toyota is offering. Plastic skid plates on a 50k off road Tacoma? Nuts
