CHECK OUT PART 1 over on TFLtruck! ruclips.net/video/eLGFJm8hnlo/видео.html --- Thank you to O’Sullivan Law Firm and Scott O’Sullivan for sponsoring TFL’s long-term 2024 Toyota Tacoma reviews and testing. If you, a friend or a family member have been in an accident anywhere in the U.S., call Scott first at (866) 956-2905, or visit ( osullivan-law-firm.com/tfl )!
If you don’t put it through the same test as when it broke, everyone will assume Toyota requested you not to.. It broke fairly easy under normal conditions! That is highly disturbing..
I"ve heard three other cases where the front diff had a failure. One from a guy pulling out a boat. Another from a dealer driving one up a ramp for show, and another in snow/mud conditions. Add TFL's and thats 4 complete front diff failures. To me, the front end can't handle the added torque of this new motor. With the new higher prices, and sub par service that many dealers provide i'd stay far far ways from this mexican made crap. If ya have to buy this brand get a real one made in Japan like a Prado, 4 runner, or GX 460 and be done with it.
I never questioned TFL's integrity until this whole taco incident. They had a golden opportunity to skyrocket to the stratosphere of trust by approaching this as common consumers, and properly retesting the taco, but its pretty clear how dependent these guys are on manufacturers' goodwill.
They're nothing but shill for Toyota. I had forgatent about the outcome of the broke down and withing the first minute Roman says that they're not putting the truck thru the same "grueling" test. What was grueling about an icy hill that the Colorado conquered with no issues?
Roman plows up the hill in the Honda, laughing all the way. Andre' crawls up, wondering the whole time if it is going to break or not. Who had more fun...?
It’s hilarious to watch this because it took Andrey almost as long to put the Taco through the various drive modes and switch on all the new tech as the Kei truck with zero tech to ACTUALLY DRIVE the whole trail up an down. 😆
@@theshadetreewelder5043 I don't need what we have in North America, if I could buy a brand new Kei truck I would. Don't need anything larger than that, I'm buying for my needs and don't want to waste money on a bigger truck. The other option would be a trailer but trailers are a pain in the a$$ 😂
Build it in Japan, and the tundra too… Toyota Japan should take notice their brand is being ruined with the qc issues, engines blowing up (tundra), and stuff commonly breaking
@@Wellh0wryaI think the front diff can't handle the added low end torque. Parent company needs to put a complete stop sale on this POS and get it right before their reputation goes out the window. I've already heard of three other incidents of this happening. They screwed up the engineering badly on this one.
@@Journey_of_Abundance This is not a problem with the motor. The front diff needs to be beefed up it appears. I'm not against induction as it does add more low end torque which is not a bad think for truck applications. And this still has 8 speed gear box. My favorite Toyota is the overseas Prado which used their D4D turbo diesel. Amazing engine and globs of torque.
@@HiPlains1 Im just saying that it wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't such a high torque motor. Honestly these midsize trucks have no need for 400 ft lb of torque.
Ok look how they baby this taco now. After working close with toyota engineers. My bets the problem is not resolved and Toyota won't stop sell this truck as they probably should. I think how they baby this on this video speaks VOLUMES.
At this point there's no good way out for Toyota. If they did a design change how come they didn't catch this problem during design testing? And what about all the trucks already sold. If on the other hand it was a manufacturing defect, how did it escape and how will they prevent future escapes? Guess they are human too.
@@moleson10 you're right. I can't think of a worse situation than to help the biggest Auto channel on the planet gain access to an early build and then have them film in real time it fail. I mean they had several angles. The viewer can see and hear the wheel stops spinning and hear the clunk. Plus you heard the clunk in the cabin and the expression on the driver's face which was priceless. For an OEM it does not get worse than that.
You guys are funny. With the K truck you clinch your cheeks and send it. With the Taco you set all the fancy control and crawl up the hill at 2 mph and hoped it doesn't break.😆
I hate to say it, but I'm more interested in the K truck now. I'd love to see them buy a couple and have a build off between the boys there. Have The Old guys vs the young guys and then go wheel them.
I don’t know why they doubt that K truck so much my wife lives in El Salvador and every single time I visit I see those overloaded and going up dirt roads all the time
Because people have been brainwashed by marketing that makes them believe you need to blow 60k on a truck to go up a rocky road. Took him longer to tinker with the modes than it takes to drive up. And the truck is so expensive he's afraid to push it...
@@walawala-fo7ds They aren't afraid to push it. it makes better content if it breaks. Just the ADD breaking is being talked about in alot of forums, social media pages and other youtube channels, look at how many views it got vs their other content.. It was a huge deal and if Blueberry continues to have things breaking under normal or even minimal offroad use, this is going to be a huge deal for Toyota
My wife is from Honduras and i use to work in El Salvador (21 years in the US Army), but yeah those little things do damn near everything you need! i mean hell I've seen a family with their supplies on a moped :D there has been a lot more content on these little trucks lately so hopefully they continue to gain popularity because too many people here buy vehicles they have no business driving because they think they need it and put other people in jeopardy lol don't need a 9,000lb RAM 3500 dually to haul a couple 80lb bags of concrete mix from Lowe's to a back yard once every 5 years lol. Much love to you and the wife!
They finally found a truck they can compare the Toyota to, and it blew the Toyotas doors off 😅 At $6000, you would be better off buying 7 of the Hondas.
At least you can drive the K truck anywhere you want without being afraid it will break. They have the most expensive mid-sized 4x4 truck and they are treating it like a Lexus SUV.
@@aerynlovell4754- One breaks out of hundreds of thousands, and you lot think it means something. There’s this thing called sample size. No ones ever claimed Tacomas are perfect. No manufacturer has a 100% hit rate. If you under that delusion, there’s no use wasting words on you.
@jsl6155 And yet here you are "wasting words". The problem isn't that a Toyota Tacoma broke. The problem is the ridiculous price compared to all the other mid-sized trucks. But people say that a Toyota badge is worth the extra money because they are the best. Now we have a Tacoma break because the tires were spinning at low speed. No 4x4 should break under those conditions. Then Toyota doesn't just send 1-3 people to investigate the problem, but they send 20 people. Maybe the reason why a Toyota is so expensive is because it takes 20 engineers to investigate one broken part. Then, there is the stupid decision by Toyota to put a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in a truck. Toyota has been building and racing vehicles long enough to know the strengths and weaknesses of different engines. In a lightweight car, a turbocharged 4-cylinder gives plenty of power and great fuel economy. However, in a truck that weighs over 4000 pounds, the 4-cylinder engine needs forced induction to move that much weight. Then, when you tow a trailer up steep hills on a hot summer day, the underpowered engine is pushed to its limit. When a turbocharged engine gets hot, extra fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber to prevent knock, which destroys fuel economy. On top of that, the incoming air passes the hot turbo and absorbes some of the turbo's heat, so hot air is being forced into the engine. Engines lose power when the intake air gets too hot. Everything about this design is full of potential problems, and it isn't just Toyota but every car manufacturer that put a turbocharged 4-cylinder in a truck.
@@chrisquintana3877 But legal in Canada. I have seen several on the road. I saw a crew cab version at a construction site with a box on the back to carry tools.
clearly you were just here to hate on the taco, if you actually watched the video they literally said they're gonna take it back on the same spot with all the other competitors too.
Look how far toyota has fallen. I think in the future theyll be digging up the landfills looking fof plastic to make corollas. Theyll cost 500,000 dollars and theyll say "enviormentally friendly recycled plastic" 😂
With this video TFL proved that the new 2024 Tacoma Offroad trim is at least as capable off road than a tiny Kei truck from the ‘90s on street tires. 😃 The new ADD is holding up nicely. 😍 I go and place an order today when the dealership opens.
For private land or are they street legal in Canada? They are not street legal in most 🇺🇸 states. Truck companies surely have lobbied against Kei truck legality in North America. They would be everywhere at $5000 a piece otherwise.
@@kignaciomy county legalize side by sides for road use you can get the plated and insured so im sure this will be no problem. But idl aboyt if i drive it to the county next door if the cops will be mad or not idk
As a former kid who bagged on old square body Dodge Power Rams and Jeep Cherokee Sports, this trail looked as tough as Circus Lemonade, but then again it is a premium priced Toyota with more electronics than a space shuttle...all the things that don't inspire "toughness" Give me a 4 wheel leaf sprung solid axle with tall skinny tires any day!
@@ryanb8736youre really gullible i think. When i learned to handmake my own wallets I didnt stop until i knew it was done right and i did it better than what everyone else did who was trying to sell me theres. I could tell they were skimping cutting corners and upcharging for junk and i refused to buy it and I went and made my own and i still have it today and use it every day. If i bought other peoples id have to have bought 4 more by now because theyre corner cutting junk. Im no fool you might like to be fooled but not me. I can tell these trucks are junk. No one wants to talk about the nightmare until the well polished turds hoods. I see the current automobile market like a scam artist society upholds as honest businessmen. Evil. Regulated into the junkyards its slavery. Plastic junk.
The Frontier needs more credit for being a tough little truck, im a fan of Toyota but the new Tacoma and Tundra are over hyped. Especially with all the new Tundra engine failure videos popping up on youtube.
As I’ve said before the frontier and Nissan aren’t trying to be the best they’re just trying to give a us a dependable but capable truck that being said they’re insanely underrated and overly hated on
@@Adriangee818 I actually like the new frontier, and the older ones too… Shame that they are overpriced for what it is, a truck but everything now is overpriced, cars, food etc
Toyota has a plant that used to build a truck that currently builds something else -- that might be an option. The truck they used to build was largely bulletproof proof with the 4.7 too
More versatile for sure! The entire Kei series Japanese trucks are amazingly useful and designed for working all day every day. I have a Subaru and love it.
@@bobcook8576tesla sure bragged about their truck going up hells buttcrack but can it fit in my local targets parking spaces?!?!?! Swear to you theyre smaller. No way it fits. F150 practically touches the white line on both sides
TFL needs to put a trail cam in the area the Tacoma broke to see if Toyota engineers send any Tacomas up there for testing to see if thier Tacomas break too.
Lmao one Tacoma breaks, and you guys think that’s indication they’re all defective. Sample size means something. I swear, people are stvp!d as f&@k these days.
Idk about this truck but I went pretty fast in 4hi up a steep rocky/muddy road in my new 23 3rd gen with no problem. I have the Overland torque tune mild/medium installed. I had the truck bouncing a little working the suspension. Did great. Andre you gotta quit playing around. Give that thing some gas!
Roman's huge smile after getting that Honda up the hill is all you need to know about which vehicle was more fun to drive. Slap some better tires and maybe a couple of skid plates on that thing and it would be a killer farm truck. They are becoming very popular on farms here in the south.
@@user-cr3fz8lz2ipretty much like the hiluxes Toyota sells abroad but not here in US… You just can’t kill these things, all battle tested by isis, talibans etc
@@shumann1605 for sure my friend honestly the taco needs new tires as well. TFL has the connection I don’t know why they don’t just ask for a sponsor to hook them up with some real off-road tires
Disappointed there are no other tire or wheel options when building a Taco on the Toyota site. More tire options are needed for sure.@@omarmandujano6772
I feel like the place you guys decided to off road the new taco after it broke is a little flat. Like I’m confident I could do it in 2wd in my 2020 trd off road. The 3rd gen seems like it will be the last of this legend
I’m always surprised when you guys are surprised what certain vehicles can do. My entire childhood was driving street cars in places they don’t belong. If you have clearance and the will, you can go places.
Indeed!! I can remember seeing an old Nissan Hardbody mini truck that was 2 wheel drive on street tires getting further back in an off-road park than huge jacked up 4X4s could. His secret is he would use momentum and would skim across the top of the deep mud holes! It is not always about how capable your vehicle is but rather how big your stones are, and what your skills are.
I drive a lifted subaru outback. I’ve made it up trails that actual 4x4 trucks could not do without getting winched out. It’s all about being smart and picking the right line. It is truly amazing how much you can do with the wrong equipment
Two observations: the low angle camera on the Tacoma seems to show the paint on the doors is orange peeled. The interior is growing on me. I never liked two tone seats but those are pretty good.
Blueberry lives! I cant wait to see the mid-size comparison test. It should be very interesting to see how each vehicle performs under the same conditions. Andre should probably bring his Colorado for a recovery rig again. By default, Andre should get a week off from all cruise control jokes, because he rescued the new Tacoma. LOL
Andre: I don't think it (Honda Acty) was ever designed to climb steep mountains. Utter twaddle. That is exactly the terrain they were designed to operate on. That's the problem when people only visit the Tokyo area. Japan has roads that make that 'steep hill' you climbed look like a nursery slope. Just try traversing from Gunma Prefecture all the way across (east to west) of Nagano Prefecture and you will go up and down so many steep mountain passes that you will feel sea sick at the end of it.
I would go through the Gunma pass, but ever since this guy in a white AE86 tofu delivery car came racing through, I have been intimated to take anything on those roads. He was just so lightning quick and I could never surmount to that kind of speed.
@lucasblanchard47 the "yea" referred to the statement "didn't look all that difficult " I payed attention. Fact is this is happening to at least a handful of these new Tacos. Ouch.. truck just looks fragile overall
Toyota: Ok guys, we’re really going to need you to make another video where you compare the Tacoma to something more ridiculous like a 1999 Craftsman Riding Mower.
LMAO no, the truth is 381,000 tacomas will be recalled because there was some welding slag...what can happen from that varies...maybe it makes a nut loose and maybe that nut gets soo loose it falls off...
Funny but proof that new design they released in phillipines should be what we go with. Because i can hit the brakes and not do a front flip. Plus i think they said there eas a diesel and i bet you the corrupt epa has no jurisdiction there so i bet theres no def piss bottles or engines sucking their own farts as a way of just letting satan screw us and laugh in our face making our stuff crap in the false lie of helping the enviorment by filling up the junkyards faster
Roman drove the tiny truck like he stole it and Andre drove the Tacoma like an old lady, whats the point of going offroad if you're afraid to have fun because you think you're truck will break?
I'd love to see the 2024 Tacomo go up against the 2024 Ridgeline, just a suggestion since that Kei Truck is a honda. I'd love to drive one of those mini trucks I bet they're indestructible.
Pure comedy. Thanks for the laugh. Growing up my family had a Suzuki samurai and I took it off road all the time and it amazed us what it would do. Completely stock.
The Kei trucks are tough. Basically the “F150” for Japan markets. I have a Subaru Sambar with a locker and “extra low” or “granny” gear. It’s amazing. I use it in the cemeteries to set monuments.
I understand that people have had problems with dealers and their shops, especially on problems with new models, but there is a lot of benefit to having TFL "troubleshoot" and get a manufacturer's direct attention. If a regular person gets pushback for the same problem, they have the benefit of showing the shop this video, including the service ticket. Also, it will be interesting to see how the transmission temp does in hotter weather. Thanks for the great content.
I think its more serious though. The front diff can't handle the added low end torque. I"ve read three other total failures like the one TFL had. This should never have gone to production and if they don't put a complete stop sale their reputation will go into the gutter. Toyota fanboys will be devastated and really drives home that this brand is mostly perception these days.
@@HiPlains1 - At this point id go Nissan Frontier all day. It’s a naturally aspirated 3.8 V6, the VQ38DD is very close to the VQ40, which were VERY reliable.
@@HiPlains1eh it could have just been an unforeseen accident in production. I’m an engineer and it happens all the time. They could have gotten a different supplier and ended up with a slightly different metallurgy or its could have been any number of things that happened. Let’s not pretend we know everything when we don’t. Sometimes shit just happens and hopefully they find a solution as quickly as possible.
I own a 94 Subaru Sambar (Kei truck), a 97 Toyota Prado, a 89 UAZ-469, a 96 Ford Bronco and let me tell ya, aside from fording with the kei truck Im confident I could drive these on the same terrain and the same trails without much issue. The Kei trucks are no joke for versatility, but if you want one just know you aint getting on any highways, and all but 8 states wont let you register them as a car. But man they’re fun! Also definitely make sure you buy one with 4WD if you do get one.
Is the A.D.D really what broke OR was it something else since they are in good with Toyota? Notice how they do not go in depth about the problem.........hmmmmmmmmmm. My value of my 2023 Tacoma Sport is still going up even though they fixed it. My V6 will always have more value than that 4 banger.
As an owner of a kei truck, there was no reason to bomb it up the hill like that. However, still loved the fact that it shows how utilitarian they truly are, especially with the full size bed, larger than the tacomas.
Love that Kei truck! The problem with the Toyota breaking is it broke as designed. Which means when you need it the most, in the harshest terrain, it will quit on you.
Not the same conditions as before. Was the new part an updated replacement or the same? If it's the same we can expect more front differentials failing.

Most people here in Eastern Canada adds a small lift and SxS tires/wheels on the K truck. They are alot cheaper than a real SXS.
For private land or are they street legal in Canada? They are not street legal in most 🇺🇸 states. Truck companies surely have lobbied against Kei truck legality in North America. They would be everywhere at $5000 a piece otherwise.
@@kignacioThey’re street legal here in British Columbia. I see them everyday in my small mountain town.
They are street legal here too in New Brunswick.
Street legal in Onterrible too.
@@kignaciomy county legalize side by sides for road use you can get the plated and insured so im sure this will be no problem. But idl aboyt if i drive it to the county next door if the cops will be mad or not idk
Respect to Roman for the full send on the little Honda truck! I really enjoyed that!
As a former kid who bagged on old square body Dodge Power Rams and Jeep Cherokee Sports, this trail looked as tough as Circus Lemonade, but then again it is a premium priced Toyota with more electronics than a space shuttle...all the things that don't inspire "toughness" Give me a 4 wheel leaf sprung solid axle with tall skinny tires any day!
Idles up the hill in 4 low. They drive the Honda up the hill at 30 mph. 😂 that’s a 2 wheel drive hill all day. 😂
Afraid they were going to break it again.
Toyota engineers told them to go easy. Newly revised parts will be available in November.
@ryanb8736 seriously?
@@ryanb8736youre really gullible i think. When i learned to handmake my own wallets I didnt stop until i knew it was done right and i did it better than what everyone else did who was trying to sell me theres. I could tell they were skimping cutting corners and upcharging for junk and i refused to buy it and I went and made my own and i still have it today and use it every day. If i bought other peoples id have to have bought 4 more by now because theyre corner cutting junk. Im no fool you might like to be fooled but not me. I can tell these trucks are junk. No one wants to talk about the nightmare until the well polished turds hoods. I see the current automobile market like a scam artist society upholds as honest businessmen. Evil. Regulated into the junkyards its slavery. Plastic junk.
I’d reverse up that in my 3rd gen at 15 mph while drinking a beer 🤣
Will it out last the v6?
The Frontier needs more credit for being a tough little truck, im a fan of Toyota but the new Tacoma and Tundra are over hyped. Especially with all the new Tundra engine failure videos popping up on youtube.
As I’ve said before the frontier and Nissan aren’t trying to be the best they’re just trying to give a us a dependable but capable truck that being said they’re insanely underrated and overly hated on
@@Adriangee818 I actually like the new frontier, and the older ones too… Shame that they are overpriced for what it is, a truck but everything now is overpriced, cars, food etc
As a Honda Mini-Truck owner, this video made me proud. 😁
No fear, Now the larger Toyota 😲🤫🤣
When the title for a Toyota video is "Will it break?" You know we are in a different land.
If it breaks again, Tacoma should be assembled in Japan!
The Tacoma has never been assembled in Japan
They would get slapped with a 25% tax. Thank the chicken tax
@@walawala-fo7ds too expensive to assembly in Japan. That's why they went south to Mexcio.
Toyota has a plant that used to build a truck that currently builds something else -- that might be an option. The truck they used to build was largely bulletproof proof with the 4.7 too
@@HiPlains1 no. It is the chicken tax. Look it up.
Blueberries new name is now Pooberry! 😂
Dingleberry!
Dingle Berry Blue
Hahahaha
Blue lemon
That little Honda is a better daily driver than 99% of what most people actually drive
No way.
More versatile for sure! The entire Kei series Japanese trucks are amazingly useful and designed for working all day every day. I have a Subaru and love it.
That’s straight up false
Yeah no. I cruise 85mph down the interstate. That thing tops out at like 62mph flooring it. Its a farm toy.
Plus it's hideous 😮
Think i saw a power wheels barbie jeep pass you up the hill 😂
Please, don't be bringing ev's into the conversation.
@@bobcook8576tesla sure bragged about their truck going up hells buttcrack but can it fit in my local targets parking spaces?!?!?! Swear to you theyre smaller. No way it fits. F150 practically touches the white line on both sides
🤣😆
TFL needs to put a trail cam in the area the Tacoma broke to see if Toyota engineers send any Tacomas up there for testing to see if thier Tacomas break too.
They could make it break anywhere I bet, considering how easily it broke.
Running 4 Tacos took their Tacoma up there and didn't break it.
Lmao one Tacoma breaks, and you guys think that’s indication they’re all defective. Sample size means something. I swear, people are stvp!d as f&@k these days.
Toyota will send engineers to remove that rock.
In ASIA, that K TRUCK is used for SLALOM RACE test. We put XL SAND BAGS in cargo above the rear wheel for better weight distribution.
You should play the "pop goes the weasel" song while offroading slowly.
Idk about this truck but I went pretty fast in 4hi up a steep rocky/muddy road in my new 23 3rd gen with no problem. I have the Overland torque tune mild/medium installed. I had the truck bouncing a little working the suspension. Did great. Andre you gotta quit playing around. Give that thing some gas!
Roman's huge smile after getting that Honda up the hill is all you need to know about which vehicle was more fun to drive. Slap some better tires and maybe a couple of skid plates on that thing and it would be a killer farm truck. They are becoming very popular on farms here in the south.
When I was stationed in Japan we saw those little trucks everywhere! They are almost indestructible!
@@user-cr3fz8lz2ipretty much like the hiluxes Toyota sells abroad but not here in US… You just can’t kill these things, all battle tested by isis, talibans etc
the $5k kei truck make it up the hill in 5 seconds, the $50k trunk made it up in 5 minutes wth 🤣
The Ranger Raptor is 55k I would rather have that than this overpriced pavement queen
I think the Frontier is a better truck than the Tacoma. Less to go wrong. Better motor and probably more reliable.
The Honda is begging for a lift and a nice set of wheels and tires
Just putting some off-road side by side tires on it would do wonders considering how it made it up both side of the climb.
@@shumann1605 for sure my friend honestly the taco needs new tires as well. TFL has the connection I don’t know why they don’t just ask for a sponsor to hook them up with some real off-road tires
I saw a video where a guy lifted one and put knobby tires on it and it looked great. There was another video where someone put tracks on a K truck.
Disappointed there are no other tire or wheel options when building a Taco on the Toyota site. More tire options are needed for sure.@@omarmandujano6772
My thoughts exactly. I SOOOO want them to mod it.
I feel like the place you guys decided to off road the new taco after it broke is a little flat. Like I’m confident I could do it in 2wd in my 2020 trd off road. The 3rd gen seems like it will be the last of this legend
Nothing i have seen so far has made Roman laugh so much
Don't underestimate those little trucks. I own 1 in the Philippines and run all over the mountains with it. It always gets me there.
which mountains? how many years you own?
9 years. All over Leyte. Replacement parts are cheap over seas. @@jamesmedina2062
Colorado is getting some snow right now. Hope we get to see more snow-wheeling!
I think that trail got 30" of snow. Has to be really almost undoable at this point.
Can't wait to see all six trucks in a match up.😊
Roman will need a new back after this 😂
Did you mean spine?
I’m always surprised when you guys are surprised what certain vehicles can do. My entire childhood was driving street cars in places they don’t belong. If you have clearance and the will, you can go places.
because you have actual skill. most people think that's up to the vehicle and not the driver...
Indeed!! I can remember seeing an old Nissan Hardbody mini truck that was 2 wheel drive on street tires getting further back in an off-road park than huge jacked up 4X4s could. His secret is he would use momentum and would skim across the top of the deep mud holes!
It is not always about how capable your vehicle is but rather how big your stones are, and what your skills are.
I drive a lifted subaru outback. I’ve made it up trails that actual 4x4 trucks could not do without getting winched out. It’s all about being smart and picking the right line. It is truly amazing how much you can do with the wrong equipment
Two observations: the low angle camera on the Tacoma seems to show the paint on the doors is orange peeled. The interior is growing on me. I never liked two tone seats but those are pretty good.
It's actually the anti-rust coating across the bottom sides that gives it the orange peel look.
@jackcrackerman right and stone chip resistant. A lot of new vehicles do this on the rockers
Stone gaurd ma
Blueberry lives! I cant wait to see the mid-size comparison test. It should be very interesting to see how each vehicle performs under the same conditions. Andre should probably bring his Colorado for a recovery rig again. By default, Andre should get a week off from all cruise control jokes, because he rescued the new Tacoma. LOL
Watching Roman in that mini-truck brings back fond memories of showing up all the built-up rigs with my stock Samurai on 30" AT's. 😇
Who let James May into the conversation. 😂
Never happened.
@@TimeMariner Tellico Lower2.
🖕
I love how Roman is giggling like a little school girl!😂 Good times!
Andre: I don't think it (Honda Acty) was ever designed to climb steep mountains.
Utter twaddle. That is exactly the terrain they were designed to operate on. That's the problem when people only visit the Tokyo area. Japan has roads that make that 'steep hill' you climbed look like a nursery slope. Just try traversing from Gunma Prefecture all the way across (east to west) of Nagano Prefecture and you will go up and down so many steep mountain passes that you will feel sea sick at the end of it.
I would go through the Gunma pass, but ever since this guy in a white AE86 tofu delivery car came racing through, I have been intimated to take anything on those roads. He was just so lightning quick and I could never surmount to that kind of speed.
I got to say the Honda was the most exciting part of this video
What ended up breaking last time, front diff? What you were doing when it broke didn't look all that difficult especially for an "offf-road" truck.
Yea. Cardboard drivetrain
You didn’t pay much attention to the part where they explained that.
@lucasblanchard47 the "yea" referred to the statement "didn't look all that difficult " I payed attention. Fact is this is happening to at least a handful of these new Tacos. Ouch.. truck just looks fragile overall
@lucasblanchard47 for many reasons I am SO glad I bought the GMC
literally watch PART 1 where they do talk about it and literally show what the dealer found and fixed
Toyota: Ok guys, we’re really going to need you to make another video where you compare the Tacoma to something more ridiculous like a 1999 Craftsman Riding Mower.
The Honda Acty. The official car of "I made it up Tombstone Hill without low gear Blueberry. What about you? "
This is a great ad for Honda.
I will keep my pioneer it is way more comfortable
381,000 Toyota Tacoma’s just got recalled for rear axles falling off.
They are not falling off. They MIGHT fall off. 😍
Junk
Telling that to Toyota fan boys is waste they’ll come up with lots of excuses like the funniest I heard yet was they were designed to fail 😂
LMAO no, the truth is 381,000 tacomas will be recalled because there was some welding slag...what can happen from that varies...maybe it makes a nut loose and maybe that nut gets soo loose it falls off...
Watching those back tires bounce off the ground in the K-truck was hilarious.
Funny but proof that new design they released in phillipines should be what we go with. Because i can hit the brakes and not do a front flip. Plus i think they said there eas a diesel and i bet you the corrupt epa has no jurisdiction there so i bet theres no def piss bottles or engines sucking their own farts as a way of just letting satan screw us and laugh in our face making our stuff crap in the false lie of helping the enviorment by filling up the junkyards faster
Yeah... looks really front heavy going downhill!
Roman drove the tiny truck like he stole it and Andre drove the Tacoma like an old lady, whats the point of going offroad if you're afraid to have fun because you think you're truck will break?
Or if you’re afraid to scratch your fancy truck
I'd love to see the 2024 Tacomo go up against the 2024 Ridgeline, just a suggestion since that Kei Truck is a honda. I'd love to drive one of those mini trucks I bet they're indestructible.
Why are you all baby stepping it? Thought this was suppose to be real world testing.. 2mph on a dirt road is what this looked like.
Pure comedy. Thanks for the laugh. Growing up my family had a Suzuki samurai and I took it off road all the time and it amazed us what it would do. Completely stock.
That lil K truck put the new Tacoma to shame
16:34 Roman is doing his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression 😂😂
Andre should have gone the same speed as Roman.
At least the Honda K-truck truck bed sides folds down on both for easy access to get stuff out of thr bed.
Yes, more trucks should have that option. 👍
The Kei trucks are tough. Basically the “F150” for Japan markets. I have a Subaru Sambar with a locker and “extra low” or “granny” gear. It’s amazing. I use it in the cemeteries to set monuments.
I love the small truck. 🇨🇦
I understand that people have had problems with dealers and their shops, especially on problems with new models, but there is a lot of benefit to having TFL "troubleshoot" and get a manufacturer's direct attention. If a regular person gets pushback for the same problem, they have the benefit of showing the shop this video, including the service ticket. Also, it will be interesting to see how the transmission temp does in hotter weather. Thanks for the great content.
The line Roman drove the second time up, LUL xD
What an awesome episode boys! Made me laugh really hard while you were driving the Honda! Best line in while by Andre: “God Bless You Roman!”
There will always be those test guinea pigs that buy the 1st year of a new gen, suffer all the issues lol
I think its more serious though. The front diff can't handle the added low end torque. I"ve read three other total failures like the one TFL had. This should never have gone to production and if they don't put a complete stop sale their reputation will go into the gutter. Toyota fanboys will be devastated and really drives home that this brand is mostly perception these days.
@@HiPlains1 - At this point id go Nissan Frontier all day. It’s a naturally aspirated 3.8 V6, the VQ38DD is very close to the VQ40, which were VERY reliable.
They are not guinea pigs. Toyota has been building trucks for decades. No excuses.
@@diz_guy47 - Yeah tell that to the 1st year Tundra owners who had to deal with turbo issues
@@HiPlains1eh it could have just been an unforeseen accident in production. I’m an engineer and it happens all the time. They could have gotten a different supplier and ended up with a slightly different metallurgy or its could have been any number of things that happened. Let’s not pretend we know everything when we don’t. Sometimes shit just happens and hopefully they find a solution as quickly as possible.
The kei truck was the best part of this video. Roman was genuinely having so much fun. Just goes to show you don’t need much to have fun off road.
I owned several Toyota 4wds along with Dodge, Ford,Jeep and GMC. They all could have done that run in 2 wd. The new tacoma is sad.
You’re just a hater.
@@redskins1120, ah, no I owned 4 toyota's, this thing is crap.
@redskins1120 You are just a Toyota PR person 🤷♂️
@@redskins1120🤡
If their crap. Why did u own 4 of them.
You guys always drive very sensibly and look after the vehicles. Honestly it was hilarious to see you beat on that K truck a little bit. What a unit.
Lol they are going to do the same track that broke the poor Taco and compare it against a Ridgeline too 🤣🤦♂️
I own a 94 Subaru Sambar (Kei truck), a 97 Toyota Prado, a 89 UAZ-469, a 96 Ford Bronco and let me tell ya, aside from fording with the kei truck Im confident I could drive these on the same terrain and the same trails without much issue. The Kei trucks are no joke for versatility, but if you want one just know you aint getting on any highways, and all but 8 states wont let you register them as a car. But man they’re fun! Also definitely make sure you buy one with 4WD if you do get one.
“I feel like WhistinDiesel!” 😂
More of this please.
No answers on what broke, but I’m still guessing it was the front differential clutch sleeve, which is the primary component of the ADD, that failed.
The little blue truck that almost could.
Nice video but two things missing here, 1. How the repairs were done and 2. A repeat of the same test to see if it will break or not
It’s in the towing video. Posted on other channel.
Is the A.D.D really what broke OR was it something else since they are in good with Toyota? Notice how they do not go in depth about the problem.........hmmmmmmmmmm. My value of my 2023 Tacoma Sport is still going up even though they fixed it. My V6 will always have more value than that 4 banger.
The value of the 3rd gens went up since the 4th gen came out
Exactly
@@dos0711 That was my point.
literally watch PART 1 where they do talk about it and literally show what the dealer found and fixed
😂 let me guess. The 3rd gen I s the last of the real ones right?
Can’t wait to see the comparison video.
Once again, the conventional wisdom of not buying the first years of a new model.
What about refreshed models? Like the 2024 f150?
As an owner of a kei truck, there was no reason to bomb it up the hill like that. However, still loved the fact that it shows how utilitarian they truly are, especially with the full size bed, larger than the tacomas.
K truck: LEEEROOOOOOOLY JENKINS!
Tacoma: please be gentle
😂
Love that Kei truck! The problem with the Toyota breaking is it broke as designed. Which means when you need it the most, in the harshest terrain, it will quit on you.
Dare to spin the wheels on ice!
The funniest part of this video was Roman saying, "We are trained professionals"!
Lol that little Honda trucklet is stronger than that weak weak Tacoma.
Things built in America are weak.
What fun! Laughed heartily at all your shenanigans!
does anybody actually use crawl-control?
in the old 4x4s the driver was in control
Front and rear locker would be a better investment if you had to choose between a more expensive trim or base.
@@dos0711the drive is still in control 😂
@@flight2k5 less and less
@@dos0711 why aren’t you driving a model T?
As it turns out this new Tacoma seems pretty fragile.
Not the same conditions as before. Was the new part an updated replacement or the same? If it's the same we can expect more front differentials failing.
You should watch the whole video before leaving a foolish comment.
Looks like so much fun with the Honda Bonsai !!! it's tougher then the Tacoma lol !!!!
