To clarify it's a 10mm socket to get the air dam off. Also, wasn't shown in the video... make sure to put the bolts back in after removing the air dam.
What is the fuel mileage before and after removing the air dam?
I love the new body style. Looks very rugged. If I bought one I would buy an SR5 ExtraCab 4x4 with all the electronic features including heated steering wheel and heated seats.
I haven’t seen any xtracab in the inventory search. Probably in a few months
But the new extra cab rear doors don’t open anymore like my 2022 SR5 access cab did!
@@jimmycline4778 yes, I know, but it doesn't have the rear jump seats like my 1991 had. Better storage!!
Bro, if you get the upgrade leather interior, it comes with AC in the two front seats, . The power rear window and the power tailgate are the best!
Test drove an SR5 yesterday. I returned to the dealer today to put down a holding deposit for a TRD Off-Road w the manual transmission, estimate 4 week eta. Loved the way the SR5 drove even though it was an automatic.
How was the space in the cab? Roomy drivers seat? Back seats decent?
@@nhsfball99 Yes to both, very similar to my f-150 crew cab both front and back but Tacoma bucket seats more comfortable.
Yeah the SR5 is smooth. Especially the longer wheel base double cab with the 6ft bed. I have that model in the 23 with the v6 and its smooth and quiet at 80mph. I had a 17 frontier on mud tires before and you couldn't hear yourself think at 80mph.
@@nhsfball99 I am 5’11” and the front seats fits me very well. The backseat area is OK if you’re going up to a 1 Hour Drive.
new Tacoma is way OVERPRICED
Any manufacturer vehicles that's over 40,000 is overpriced!!!!! You got it!!!!!!!!
Air dam made the truck ugly.
the socket size he used would’ve been valuable information in a “how to remove” video.
I saw another video on yt, they said 10mm socket
10mm. It also has a Philips head screw receiver. Took mine off my 2024 limited for now. Love my little red truck!
"Waste of time and money" I'll stick to my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport V6 3.5L, power seats with rear leaf springs and a 21.1 gas tank and rear window. The new 2024 Tacoma only has a 18.1 gas tank wich it means more gas stops on long trips. By the way leaf springs brings more stability and capacity load to a truck when towing and stronger (weather), suspension especially on the rust belt states. If I want to buy a sport car then I buy a Toyota Supra. Finally Turbo charge engines don't last as much as regular engines and they are way more expensive to maintain due to more mechanical parts involved.
Exactly my thoughts!
Ive been getting 23-24mpg on my 2024. Range is still easily 350-400 miles. It would be better with the extra 3 gallons of gas but the smaller tank is not hurting it.
Came to c the removal. Not to hear 3 minutes of advertising..
Already a boycott the new Tacoma site, truck is way overpriced
They can fucking eat them especially since they are made in Mexico for $1.50 an hour.
Price of these Trucks is Terrible
That ugly air dam doesn't really save gas. The guys at TFL did a test on there 2024 it was only 1 mpg differance without it. You can make that up with a K&N air filter
Price too high
I’d like to know if the new engine has a better oil filter design and location . The old fashioned spin on filters ares sorely missed on the 3rd gen Tacoma . The canister style filter is a messy pain to change
I saw a video with the chief engineer explaining the new engine. It has a conventional spin on filter on the lower front of the engine.
I figure leave it on and save a little money.
So I did this mod on my brand new sr5 4x4 and the very next day when I went to work I heard this very persistent high pitched drone. It was like air rushing over a ladder rack or something. No way I'm gonna listen to this all the time so I put the air dam back on and noise is gone. So Toyota probably new about this and had to design something to stop this noise. Not to happy I have to keep this ugly air dam on.
What size is those bolts so I can be set before I lay down under there? (Side note: I have zero faith that it actually would make your MPG worse by removing it. It actually should be adding to it with aerodynamic drag but feel free to tell me I am wrong.)
I'll stick to my 2005. This thing looks like headache waiting to happen.
If you get a whistling noise once you remove the air dam, here is the solution.

what are the size of the bolts?
2024 Tacoma overpriced underpowered look the same as the old Tacoma i rather stick with my V6 power engine Tacoma
This powertrain has more torque than your V6 and can beat it 0-60, get better fuel economy, etc.
@@arhamkhakwani5851 still my V6 won’t break down plus check out you tube 2024 rear axle snapped during crawl i hate automatic transmission i stick with my manual transmission
Bla bla. I have the V6 in a 4.0 liter and this little 4 banger doesn't stand a chance against it.
Put the screws back
That frame looks really beefy.
Not a fan of the new look
Like my 2019 SR5 much better
Can you replace and install a skid plate and if so which one can you order
Nope. It does not look better. I am keeping the air dam on my Tacoma.
I have the exact same color SR5. 4X4 And yes, I would like to remove the air dam because it looks stupid. But other than that I am very pleased with this truck.
A Black wheel option would look sharper on the silver truck
The engineers put it there for a reason, 1 MPG gain.
Plain Jane for 42000! No Thanks!
I got my Colorado Trail Boss the 430# torque calibration, 310hp mine has 120#s more torque
2 wheel drive also 🤯 , if some one’s spending 40k plus it better be a 4x4 at least, I payed 26,500 for my 2022 Sr5 2x4 but did get 30k for it at Chevy dealer towards my new Colorado TB
Agree - ugly truck too. Toyota really botched this latest gen.
@@krasnaludek298 I agree. I don't understand the roof spoiler and all the radical interior changes. Very ugly and immature looking. I'm looking elsewhere for my next vehicle.
It's ridiculous what dealers are charging now.
Way over priced!!
Picked up my Sport Premium 2 days ago. LOVE IT. This is an awesome truck. So many improvements over the 3rd gen. Well worth the price. Name me one thing that NOT gone up in price in the last 3 years . I currently own a ‘21 Sport (loaded) that I will keep, although the temptation is to trade it for a new model. I can probably trade/sell it for mort than I paid for it….
They went from V6 to 4 cylinder and added a Hoover Dam and the fuel economy is almost identical to previous generation. They also made the fuel tank smaller. I won’t be buying another Tacoma.
It's a mini tundra
WHAT IS TOTAL DISTRIBUTORS OPTIONS??????
MUCHO DINERO 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeh but it's only a $10K markup! 👿👿
so much room in that engine bay and toyota wants to put a 4 cylinder in it. drop a v8 in it or an inline 6 diesel. if toyota did that, they couldn't keep up with the demand.
2 things i dont like - Air Dam and exhaust top hanging low...love the grown up look like a baby Tundra
When will the new Hybrid Max models be at dealerships?
The I-FORCE MAX is expected around summertime. No specifics given yet
What about the garanty??
Let me tell ya, this new Taco looks so much better than that ugly Tundra, especially that ugly big front grille......can't stand it. The new Taco looks better than the new Tundra from every angle. My '16 Limited Crewmax TRD Tundra looks way better
Agreed
The same people crying about prices are the same people who don’t mind their $270,000 house now being worth $450,000. Ya wanted huge screens and beep beep buttons like ford. Well now ya got it. It ain’t free!
Exactly. Everyone cries about “ohh Toyota doesn’t change the design, Toyota is too basic”. Well you wanted a “modern” design that has all the fancy tech. Now you pay the modern price.
It really does not look all that different underneath from my 23 tacoma SR5.
If you notice how it’s boxy, I bet they took that from the Nissan Frontier. Look at them and they look a bit similar despite them being different trucks. Nissan Frontier went with the boxy look and then Toyota basically took that boxy idea as if they came up with it on their own.
Not saying your wrong but atleast for this years tacomas they made them with more of the tundra style. Now if the tundra got it from Nissan I can’t say
Beautiful machine
Which dumb engineer put that air den there?
2-3% of fuel economy improvement doesn’t justify that ugly looking thing
I don't see how a flat piece of plastic is SUBTRACTING from MPG, should be adding.
43k for an sr5 with a four banger?
We encourage you to test drive both the 2023 vs the 2024 “four banger” before you cast it aside! A lot more power and ride comfort is much improved. But you decide for yourself :)
@@FredAndersonToyota i drove one last saturday at the dealership. no thanks, toyota. next week i will buy the nissan frontier with the v6.
Well there you go stepping right in a cow pie. Only thing Nissan still has going for them is the Z.
I paid 42 for mines and i dont got the jbl speaker nor the sliding back window
I though that was stander
That air dam is friggin ugly.
show us how to swap out the lawnmower engine for the 4.7 liter instead...
😂😂😂😂😂
Love it!!!..... Have one ! waiting for a new transmission
What made transmission go bad?
I removed my air dam and now i am getting a whistling noise. Anyone know a solution?
me too man, any solution yet?
Yeah, , they got this thing called a "air damn", , put it on and the whistle will go away.
@Max-cv7nn yes, you'll need to plug the holes in the control arms. There are 4 holes in each arm. Toyota sells the plugs. I am currently just using duct tape and the whistling sound is gone.
LOL This 2 wheel drive SR5 Tacoma cost 500 bucks more than my 4x4 Colorado Trail Boss, plus mine has power seat, cameras, tow package , cruise ,etc every single option you can purchase ,,,I’m so glad I didn’t wait for this truck!
Yeah but it's a Chevy
ITs a 4x4.
I hope you didn’t forget to pay extra for cruise control 😂😂😂
🥱🥱🥱🥱
Take a shot every time he says today
Today
That new Tacoma is hideous. Do people actually look at this truck and think “very nice?” Seriously, it’s horrid next to a new Ford Ranger Raptor or GMC Canyon AT4X.
The interior is passable, but that exterior is just awful.
Regardless of what you prefer, Neither of those vehicles are reliable as a Tacoma.
If you don’t like the air dam, then you definitely won’t like the motor.😅
nobody likes the 4 banger
@@billw8476I loved it and I’m a loyal F-150 v8 owner. But, I don’t tow anymore, haul seldom and agree they’re pricey.
What’s not to like ? More power, more torque, and better fuel economy. Win win win
real world fuel economy is not very good at all,not for a four banger truck.it also does not tow very well, either.@@gordboyko769
@@gordboyko769It now has the low end torque it deserves.
I think its trash, 3rd gen was real last tacoma
WHY not take down the weak cheap shocks,, THEN install all 4 FOX shocks for it,,
YES, since u ve already got it up on the hoist,, replace them with high performance off road baja grade shocks,,,
that's a beautiful looking...strong.....aggressive air dam that Toyota ahs slapped on the Mexican built Tacoma.....it should not be removed
why they put it in there the first place so ugly
