Welcome back to TheDriveGuyde where I have the keys to the 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Premium. This midsize truck had a slight refresh for this model year, the changes include: new sizes for the standard and upgraded touchscreens with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa; new lights and grille design; and the Toyota Safety Sense P system as standard equipment. This test drive highlights the issues I believe taller drivers will want to know before they go for a test drive, and for anyone else, to see if the Tacoma is the right truck for you!
Please like, comment and share this video with others, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for stopping by and watching my review of the 2020 Toyota Tacoma! I'm hopeful regular programming will continue on for the summer so please hit RUclips's notification bell to know when each of my videos are live!
I’m 6’4” and “husky”. I just finished a cross country trip, 2900 miles in my new 2021 Tacoma TRD Offroad double cab. I fit fine in the truck with the power seat and no sunroof. I have 2.5” of room over my head.
Such an honest and straight forward review!! Refreshing to see. Really good and very useful thanks for posting
I am 6’2” and I have no problem getting in and out of my 2020 Tacoma TRD off-road I have plenty of headroom
I'm also 6'2" (with a 32" inseam), and am wondering if you have enough headroom to do the 1.25" riser blocks that supposedly really help in the leg comfort aspect. I've always loved Tacos, but found the seating position rather uncomfortable because the seat seems too close to the floor. I don't think I'd get the sunroof because of headroom.
@@turbogeoduck Never even heard of a riser block I have a 2020 and the seats I have had a refresh and I have no problem with the sitting position or headroom I don’t know what else to tell you.The seats in my 2020 Are Way more comfortable than the ones I had in my 17 Tacoma TRD off-road
I think weight and flexibility also plays in all this. Once in it’s another set of comforts to consider.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 glad you are back 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just bought this in quicksand. Love the review!
Been waiting for your videos to come back. The virus has had everyone locked down, welcome back.
Long time! Welcome back!
6’ 6” here, thank you for your great perspective.
Wow that lake view is stunning!
Owned one for over 2 years. Your review is basically spot on. My two biggest issues were seating position and simply terrible transmission programming. Driving on the highway was horrible unless the road was perfectly straight. Toyota needs a new engine/transmission in this thing asap.
Thanks for this comment!
yea im debating having mine re geared i love everything else except the transmission im a lifted pro on 33's
Great car and review. Good job!
Thank you for watching! Hope to hear from you again in the future
Awesome video! Well said.
❤️❤️
I am 6'2", and I own a 2020 TRD Off Road. I have zero comfort issues. No headroom issues. I fit just fine, no problems.
With the sunroof you loose 2 inches of headroom. I’m 6 3 and I don’t have any problems with headroom. Love my 2020
I needed to hear this
I needed to hear this too! Test driving tomorrow 🤞🏻
If you’re that tall and don’t have any problems then you are probably better proportioned than me. I’m 6’1” but a bit short on the legs and extra tall on the body. This means when sitting in my own 2011 Tacoma I’m looking through the very top of the windshield and the rear view mirror is in the way. I’ve been living with this annoyance for 9 years.
Diego Garcia built the same way as you and it happens in every car I swear to god, especially 2012+ cars I find
@@carsonabrosimoff6162 As another long torso tall person (6'4) I have been struggling with this for some time. Every sedan and crossover must have a low slopping roofline it seems and I rarely find a new vehicle I can get into without hitting my head. The also apparently must have large center consoles that intrude on your knee/leg/and hip room. I miss bench seats. Would be nice if a least one manufacturer would make a dedicated Big and Tall model.
Great Video!! I’m 6-3 and I just purchased a SR5 Toyota Tacoma double cab in VooDoo blue. Being tall and owning a Tacoma has it challenges. If you’re tall don’t get the MOONROOF because you loose so many inches of headroom. There is a big difference when there is no moonroof and there is good amount of headroom. Personally I’ve been happy with my Tacoma and the power seat helped me get comfortable with my long legs. I will say if you’re tall and you want to haul people, get a full size truck.
Good point about the moonroof
TheDriveGuyde Yeah, I sat in a Tacoma with a moonroof and it was very uncomfortable. When I saw your head basically touch the headliner, I felt your frustration. Good point about the back window as well, but with the added headroom it helps positioning the seat. Also my steering wheel is telescopic and I’m able to pull towards me, it could go further in my opinion. Good review man, it’s refreshing to see a tall guys perspective on comfort in a vehicle.
Such a nice looking truck! I plan to get one in cement.
Great video review!!! You bring up some very interesting points. How tall are you?? I am 6 foot and wondering if I am to tall for this truck.
6’4
No, I don't think you're too tall for it. I'm 5'10 and have plenty of room in the Tacoma. I think people up to 6'2 would be good in the Tacoma.
Went to the dealer to look at new models. Saw the price and think I’ll stick with my 07 till it dies. I just wish I had 4x4.
What’s a hair-archy??
Just messing, good video!
You would think that one executive at Toyota would latch onto the idea that if we increase the rear passenger seating by 5" of leg room that they could sell thousands more units to a customer base that wants a Tacoma but won't do it because of the rear seat issue.
Test drove one yesterday. At 6 1 it felt very cramped compared to my 2019 ranger. Enough headroom? Yes. Way less than the ranger? Also yes. Felt more like a car than a truck inside.
The steering wheel does telescope but, could use more extension. In hilly country use ECT mode per the manual.
6'2", proportional torso/legs 34" inseam and look out the top of the windshield of my 2017 OR. Legs/heels go numb from no thigh support and back pain after 20 minutes. Love the MT and footprint but seating is abysmal. I call it my 4x4 sportcar with ground clearance but no head clearance.
Trying different seat configurations ie. shims under seat (see TW for coverage).
I'm 6'4" would I be alright in one it's my dream truck... Will be getting one soon I hope I fit.
6’4” as well and getting a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-Road without the moonroof, which means I also can’t get heated seats from Toyota USA, which is a ridiculous penalty for being tall. I live in Washington Stare near the Canadian border and it gets quite cold. It will be my first car since the 1980s to not have heated seats. Regardless, I love everything else about the Tacoma and actually think the cloth seats look great so I’m willing to give it a try. I tried a Tundra but they’re just way too much truck for my needs.
Do a fiat or smart car review 😂 I wanna see how you fit in it haha
Hi Max, is the manual gearbox hard to operate in everyday driving situations? It is not an apple to apple comparison, but the Civic has the easiest, and most forgiving manual gearbox I have ever driven. How does the Tacoma’s manual gearbox compared to the Civic? Thanks.
It's not that the manual is a hard-to-drive system, I just think it isn't well integrated for cabin and pedal layout
Great review. Thank you. I am currently on the market for Tacoma. It may suits me, I'm 5'11, and I like the Tacoma's feature of diff locker and MTS options that Tundra did not have.
I’m 5’10 and own a 2020 TRD off-road. You’ll be just fine in it.
I'm 5,11 and no problems. Even the sr with v6 and 4x4 is enough. Crawl control is pretty much a gimmick and the rear locker while nice to have is not really necessary unless you plan on heavily modifying the truck and or do some crazy off roading and at the point it's best to just get air lockers or a jeep lol. The sr will save you like 6k over the off road and at this point the 6k can get you better tires and a nice lift so it will actually be way better off road than the off road model.
Damn how tall are you?? I'm 6.1' and I think it feels fine
It’s like saying beware of the mazda miata if you’re 6’4” lol can you drive anything besides a big rig if you’re that tall?
How tall are you if you dont mind me asking.
Im 5ft 11in and 185 lbs. The seating position combined with the low roof line is to cramped !!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm 6'2" and 200# and fit fine. I think it has more to do with torso size. Also, the steering wheel DOES telescope. I have the same model as shown in the video, albeit with a manual transmission.
sunroof make it short , I have the 2020 offroad 4x4 , Lots of space and I am almost 6
I watched that original video and it was okay...but we are our own worst critic, when we care about what we’re doing.
Too kind!
It would have helped in video to let everyone know how tall you are.
I'm 6'4" 220lbs and I have found it weird the vehicles that I have and haven't fit in over the years. Some of the strange ones are...
Fit in: single cab s10 (wasn't bad once I was in), 1983 rx7 (comfortably), nd miata(just barely, would not daily drive it), 2019 Mazda cx3 (the seat bolsters were a little narrow but it worked)
Did not fit in: 2016 tacoma ext or double cab (not comfortably), 07 scion tc(steering wheel hit my knees trying to work the gas and brakes), 98 Chevy cavalier(head bounced off the sunroof trim), 94 3000gt(literally couldn't even work the clutch), 2018 chevy equinox (the side bolsters of the seat dug into my lats), 2016 camaro (seat didn't go back far enough to get my knees off the steering wheel)
I'm 6'7", and your driving position complaints are the exact same reason why I didn't care for mine. I drove it for around 100K miles and then traded it for a Tundra.
How tall are you?
“Taller drivers beware” me at 5’7” ah shit gotta be careful of that
🤣
Title is a bit misleading, and so is the review to be honest. He only looks like 6'3 or 6'4 at most. I'm 6'2 with 34" inseam, and I've never had a problem with seating position. Everything adjusts well, and I actually have more room than I thought I would before buying.
I once saw a comment about someone being 7’2” and that he pops his head out of the sunroof to lookout and drive
I had to do that with the last gen Jetta
@@maxlandireviews 🤣👍🏼
im 5-10 no sunroof, PLEAT headroom left, steering wheel is great sure would be nice more adjustment still OK. Engine is a truck loud No loud at allcanin noise for this is NICE, you should just get something else
11:34 made me lol at the struggle of sitting behind yourself
I'm glad there is some comic relief in my videos...
This car sucks for tall drivers. Thanks for the honest review!
This review was like watching paint dry…

You would have the same problem in my Shelby , your too frickin skinny and tall. Try I don't know maybe a bus?
