That chin spoiler is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. I would have the dealer remove it before i drove it off the lot
THEY CAN DO IT.. GUESS WHAT YOU ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT..
@@JOHNJ0HN9111😂😂😂
I usually like quite a tall air dam on the front of pickup trucks but I think this is a bit too much especially for a mid-size pickup truck
Also the huge plastic bumper cover. How is anyone going to install an aftermarket metal bumper on that thing?
The ridiculous part is that they give an inflated milage report with something they know is too ugly to leave on. Poor engineering, dishonest company.
54k is a hard no.
Cannot imagine paying that price for a TACO.
The price is outrageous. Especially considering the stiff competition toyota has now.
I almost expect Toyota to know this and do this deliberately given the weird logistical climate we live in these days. They know others are trying to go big to try and sell more units for economies of scale, but Toyota knows that can bite them in the butt if parts suppliers or your manufacturing has sudden changes. Toyota is always conservative, and I bet they'll maintain their profit margins despite selling fewer units and while having a more stable throughput.
The price, Ha is that all. It’s over bloated nonsense. There’s no reason to go Tacoma now when there are much better trucks this size that are actually purpose built in this size range. Such a joke.
Toyota has always been outrageously priced
Sit down when you price a small Chevy pickup 🛻🧨💥
@@tropicthndr I disagree. I have owned all brands. I went Toyota about 10 years ago and I would never go back to Chevy or Ford. If I were to buy anything besides a Tacoma I would maybe buy the frontier. The price on Toyota is higher because they are reliable and they hold their value. Chevy and Ford make halfway decent full size trucks but I wouldn't touch their small trucks with a 10 foot pole. How many older s10 or rangers do you see on the road? Chevy has never made a good small truck. They are all junk. Ford made some decent rangers with the 4.0 that are still on the road but I would argue that there is more Tacoma's out there. You're paying for reliability. Yeah the canyon, Colorado and ranger might have more bang for the buck but I guarantee they will be in the shop more and you will be lucky if you get 200k out of them. I work in the steel industry and get shit all the time for owning Toyotas. I just laugh because I know when I go to sell them they will still be worth money and I won't be losing my ass. You get what you pay for. Toyota believes in building reliable vehicles and I'll be sticking with them until they don't.
Price is obscene. It’s a major improvement and addresses many of the faults that kept me from buying the last gen (seat and headroom). But for this price I might as well buy a good used full size 4x4. They want way too much.
One of the dislikes should have been that you have to pay a subscription fee after buying your $52,000 truck.
What is the subscription for?
Radio communication, remote start and remote keyless entry. @@kingmike40
Deez nuts
Car startup from inside your home for example. @@kingmike40
It's only for Toyota Connected Services. Which is only for stuff that requires a internet connection to use. Most everyone will use Android Auto/Apple Carplay anyways.
Way too expensive for a small truck! I bought my 2022 F150 Tremor brand new for $54,000. I’ll take the Tremor everyday for these prices!
Even comes with a snowplow!
Lmfao
😂
My Colorado has it too. Just to add 1 mpg
Funny story, in 2019 I bought an 4WD SR5 Tacoma with some options and its sticker was $32k. According to Toyota website an 24 4WD SR5 Tacoma is $42k with NO options. That’s insane. This year a bought a Nissan and I couldn’t be happier with it.
Same here.
@@oxidize99
Nissan!!! You'll be happier when you get rid of it
I also bought a new Frontier over the Tacoma with no regrets. Had it for a year now and LOVE IT. Simple, rugged, gimmick free and priced fair. No regrets trading my 20 year old Tundra in for it.
@@thetinysideoftiny7625 Big mistake, Nissan doesn't come close to Toyota
Could you stop sucking toyota co** so much ?
1st year production of any new vehicle with this much technology is worthy of a cautious purchase.
Particularly when 2022+ Tundras are having a lot of quality issues including catastrophic engine failures.
x2 Exactly, brand new truck built from the ground up. It’s going to have issues, just look at all the previous gen Tacoma’s 😂. I wouldn’t touch these until year 2 or 3.
I really can't get behind that automatic tailgate. Seems like an unnecessary complication. It would be nice if you could option out of it on the TRD Off-road trims.
I would add to the dislikes no rear seat vents. Many of its competitors have them. It's 2024, no excuse for an all new truck to not have them standard across the board on all trims. What a difference removing the chin spoiler makes, looks worlds better. I think that Limited is much more apples to apples to the Canyon Denali in features and price. And yeah, the prices are getting insane.
Probably under the seats like the 2023.
Crazy right!? Unacceptable, there are no rear air vents in 2024 for that price. 2028 refresh 😅
The electric seats and drum brakes were enough changes for this decade
@@ranger1752well nobody can fit in the back anyway, maybe a small dog
How about the fact that it has back seats
Got the new frontier fully loaded for 7k off. Love the taco but damn it’s expensive and not a fan of 4 cylinder.
Agreed. Forget the price. The Nissan is a much better truck.
Still driving in my 07 frontier, 95, 000 miles, Oe brakes, $25k new not 50k, my first house was only 95k😊
The 2024 Frontier is a sleeper. Wonderful truck for the money with a great V6 engine and trans.
Just bought a new Frontier. An exceptional value and a great truck. Tight, solid, simple, with a NA V6!
54K, might as well get the Tundra at this point…I bought a Tacoma in 14 for 34K granted it was an SR5. Then I upgraded to a Tundra TRD off Road for 39K. These prices are insane.
Tundra is going to be 70k lol
Least expensive Tundra is $45k.
Don't blame Toyota, blame economics
@@beexiong2995 It's not even economics, if it was they would lower prices due to lack of sales. In New Zealand a new Tacoma is 60k NZD which is about 38k usd
@@TheRealCatof in new Zealand yes maybe. But the economics of the US vary. Minimum wage is at an all time high as well as cost of living. Throw in inflation and high interest rates it's definitely not a good time to buy. It's a joke right now but it is what it is. A 20 year old toyota truck costs 20k with 200k miles lol
Looks sooo much better without the snowplow...
I miss the days of simple trucks. I don't need most of the stuff they have on these things. Analog gauges, a Bluetooth radio, and a good suspension is all I want.
Maverick.
@markspence3750 Ford Motor Company has issued a new recall for 125,322 model year 2020-2023 Ford Escape, 2022-2023 Ford Maverick and 2021-2023 Lincoln Corsair vehicles for a risk of fire due to engine failure.
Right on NHTSA website. I want something I know will last me more than 50k miles.
@@markspence3750 That's a unibody car shaped like a truck.
Ridgeline. Fantastic ride and tows 5000 lbs, it's all most folks need except serious off-roaders and tradesmen. 6cyl 9 sp tyranny too
I would take a truck that is not fast 0-60 but reliable and long lasting any day over one that is super fast and does not last as long. I am sure a lot of that is Toyota setting it up to last the longest possible. Also I am not a fan of 4 door small trucks and happy with just an extended cab. If I need to haul people around with a truck I would look into a full size truck.
Exactly!! Crew cab config in a mid size truck is worthless unless you have to haul around the kiddies. Give me a king cab with a 6 foot bed.
I can’t even lie I was really looking forward to the new Tacoma but after seeing the price I can’t lie I’m going to buy a Trail Boss Colorado.
Biggest disappointment is the price increase that truck they are testing ain't worth 50 grand
Thank you Nathan for pointing out a major miss concerning the new Taco’s convenience features: “no reach-arounds.” Maybe Toyota will offer such kindness at the first model year refresh.
The truck with the least amount of electronics and batteries wins the working class truck award every time.
I’d love a reach around
If I’m going to pay 50k for a midsized truck I better be getting a reach-around as well.
@@joseeduardo4327 I thought you'd never ask.
@@austenslostyou'll get one cuz you'll be getting pucked up the as...
Finally a boxed frame, why it took Toyota 30 years to do it is beyond me. Also $50k is wild, you can buy a 3/4 ton truck for that much. I just don’t see how the average person can justify spending 50k on a midsize.
It took 30 years because this Tacoma is a softer Hilux.
I have 2022 Nissan Frontier, but I also love Tacomas. My family is a Toyota family and we've always had 4Runners. I always wanted a Tacoma. But when it came time to buy back in 2022, I couldn't justify spending more for less (specs at least) on a Tacoma generation that was going to be updated (same thing with the Ranger). When I saw the new Tacoma, I thought they did an incredible job on its redesign and fixed a lot of the gripes regarding the old Tacoma.
But the price for these things is absolutely insane now. I thought I got a good deal and a better overall dollar value for the Frontier against the Tacoma back in 2022, now I definitely am thankful. These Tacomas are great, no doubt, but the prices here are outrageous.
My 2020 Tacoma is the last Tacoma I will ever purchase. If i was buying a truck today it would definitely be the Nissan.
Yup. They made a douche-mobile for the millenials and zoomers with indulgent parents. I'm buying the Nissan because it will still be a solid truck in 12 years time. Toyota has sold its soul to the devil.
@@Scroll_LockThe Nissan is like 2k cheaper, with much worse resale value. Not sure why you think it is so much better.
@@SiXiam Because it wasn't made for CA and CO tech douches. It doesn't cost $60,000 for a good off road truck. Nissan Frontiers are extremely reliable, always have been.
Because nobody wants an 3k dollar seat with it's own iron man built in suspension. 24 and up Tacoma's will be driven from silicon valley jobs to the beach or to a KOA but they sure will have $15,000 worth of overpriced offroading stuff slapped on. The new Tacoma is basically the California import scene from the 1990s all over again, all style, little substance. Toyota quality isn't even what it used to be. They found a new and younger audience who doesn't know why Toyota became so well loved in the first place. One who just wants to throw money away. The new Tacoma is poser-mobile extraordinaire. The worst part is this shit is going to ruin the 4Runner too. Telling that re-sale value is so highly mentioned by the new granola/kale Toyota fanbase. You guys won't stick around to find out about reliability, you will trade it in at 60,000 miles and buy the next poser truck.
I don't intend to sell the Frontier. I will give it to my son after it's payed off.
Nissan is keeping it legitimate.
@@Scroll_Lock Understandable if you intend to keep it. My current Honda car is just such a big difference in parts quality from my past Kia/Hyundai, that it makes me really want something with similar quality parts. I wasn't aware of a big CA scene with the Tacoma. Probably on the higher trim levels. I just want a base model.
Great video guys! I actually didn't think the exhaust note was bad. Not excited about "augmented" sound on the inside though - wish that trend would disappear.
My Ranger does the same thing. I pull from the line and I hear V8 sounds from my I-4.... I hate it.
You can remove it in the settings, apparently
I hope you can turn it off. if not I'm not buying it
I too liked the exhaust but the price and worthless back seat space makes it for me a nobuyer.
I too liked the exhaust but the price and worthless back seat space makes it for me a nobuyer.
I raised my 0-60 from 13 seconds to 9.3 0- 60. I used the Engineering sience of friction. Using Militec -1 it goes into the metal for military Heliciopters to protect from oil pressure loss in a battle.I was made to save the expenive HUI and soldiers on board.
I have tested that and , Amsoil and Marvel Mystery oil in combinations to reduce friction which changes the noise and hp and torque significantly. According to this video I raised my engine to a turbo efficency which is wild.
I would like these guys to test Militec -1 4 ounces and wait 30 days and then test and do it in 3 months and 6th months. Now I also over ride the trans and use the syncro shifter manual to get to that 9.3 / 0 - 60.
Wow, it looks so much better with the chin spoiler removed. It is worth the hit to the gas mileage.
Before I even drive mine off the lot that's getting removed.
I’ve owned a 95 that a put 350k on and a 2017 off road. I sold the off road about 7 months in. That transmission was awful. My 2.7 manual felt like it had more torque. The new ones look interesting, especially the hybrid coming soon but I can’t justify spending 60k for a midsize truck. The car market will collapse soon.
No it won't.
@@will_mcfarland look at the amount of cars on pre repo and get back to me
@@grahfkarate1799 I agree, I'm seeing some decent EOY discounts on trucks again. 10-15% off MSRP. I've seen used Subarus, which hold value well in Montana, started losing their KBB values this fall. $1-3K just from October to December.
@@montechie 100% . Prices skyrocketed due to manufacturing shortages ( and inflation). Combination of people forced to buy really expensive used and new cars with high interest rates and having less disposable income. Prices will fall.
@zenelky look at the amount of cars sitting at dealer for well over a year than get back to me.
Can we just make a base truck that is comfortable and affordable?.... That tailgate is gonna be an issue before long. Give me a 2 door w 6ft bed, power windows, a radio and v6 auto. Everytime I hear turbo I think problems.😢
Turbos are reliable, this isn't 1980 anymore
Buy a SR simple basic truck with a manual there you go. Me I want the better model with an auto and as many bells and whistles as I can afford. And I will fill it up with mud!
@@TheRealCatoftime will tell. I tend to keep vehicles 15-20 years. if the truck is high age/mileage and the reason I junk it is a bad turbo, it's a fail.
Great video guys, one of your best!
One of the things I love about my Nissan is that if you don't fasten your seat belt, the little seat belt man comes on and that's it. No bells, no warnings. Spoiler is garbage, i bet almost all of them come off. The older I get, the more I like a good old physical key.
And the v6 and more room in the back seat.
Just got my Frontier and I love it.
For that little of a difference in mpg that the chin spoiler would be gone before leaving the dealership
I was thinking the same thing too!😁
When I first saw it I thought WTH are they thinking. I don't want any part of that. I'll stick with my V6 - 9 speed Frontier. Fantastic truck.
@@phw2274They are probably thinking it is a good way of hiding that you aren't getting a skid plate.
Good review guys. I like these two cabrones. Nathan is always very honest.
Always fantastic content!
I really like the truck and plan on getting a 2025.
My two dislikes are no back doors on the extra cab, and the snap that holds the back seat up on the double cab.
my 18 had suicide doors, im sure its the same for the new one
The midsize segment doesn't need more space in the rear. Buy a full size, please do not make these trucks more expensive and bigger.
If nissan frontier and chevy colorado can do it then yes toyota can too. Don't make excuses for them.
Agreed! I'd order a back seat delete if I could. And frankly, that's a big "neg" on the GM. Lousy back seat storage. You can fold the seat up but your left this extremely high uneven base.
@@MWAclanGaming they all seem pretty similar to me.
You can’t get an accurate fuel economy rating going 57 miles on a loop. You need three full tank fulls of gas to find out what you are really getting for mpg’s. Sometimes you get better mpgs with the heavier load (fighting wind or downhill courses) and sometimes it’s better when it’s lighter (going uphill or with stop and go traffic).
Great video. The other annoying over protective nanny Toyota has is the remote start turns off when you open a single door.
With my GM products for example, you can open doors and continue to load vehicle while it's warming up. We have a RAV 4 Prime and love it, but loathe that behavior.
Yes I hate that in the 3rd gen taco.
So you remote start it to warm it up, then it shuts off when you open the door to get in and you have to restart it again?
Yes that's right. So while you are loading vehicle instead you have to sit in car get keyout (you used app or threw key in) and start.. Or you can't let passengers/kids in while vehicle is warming without fully starting.
It's an overreach on techno nanny
I thought they dropped that in the Taco?
@@gmercede Yep that drove me insane. Such a small but hugely annoying thing when it's 0 degrees faherenheit, gusty, and you're desperately trying to get the truck warmed up and the kids loaded in so you can make it grandma's for Christmas on time without the windows frosting up for the first 10 minutes of the drive.
That insane pricing will push me to the other manufacturers. Great video!
They cost just as much, with much worse reliability
Frontier
@@phatgringo2.0The 2024 Frontier isn't much cheaper.
@@TheRealCatofNo, they dont
@@TheRealCatof you need to get over the reliability thing. they are all pretty good now.
Is it weird that I dislike that its only a 2.4 liter turbo? I would feel better if it was a little beefier, I am sure toyota still knows how to make it last, but only time will tell.
So far small turbo engines dont last quite as long. So I am worried just a little about small turbo engines in work trucks.
They very well may not last "quite as long" however I suspect they'll last far longer than anyone will want or need them to.
As an owner of a 3rd Gen Offroad w/manual, the 2024 Tacoma is a hard pass. No V6 option, ~$10K more the same truck, 4cyl turbo is not going to last as long as the V6. Dealer markups above MSRP.
How is the visibility out front? The windshield looks tiny and the hood looks really high.
Cost a bit more and then the dealerships will ass their "market adjustment" on top of that. The price on these will be crazy the first year at least.
Agree. There will be a 10K dealer mark up at least. Especially on TRD off roads. It is hard to get al that excited as they will be impossible to find and if someone did find them the price will be 65K.
Probably not. Trucks in general are stacking up everywhere
Where are 2024. Tacos "stacking up". Look at pre covid and inventory was still miles above what It is now. New Taco is highly anticipated. Not like an 95K F-150. But hey if you can find a taco TRD off road for MSRP you go girl. @@technom3598
not tacomas@@technom3598
my main dislike is any vehicle that looks like a computer tablet is shoved in the dash vs built in tastefully
I haven't watched the video yet but I just need to say, that thumbnail of Andre dressed as an Angel is everything.
Hey! What do you think of the driving dynamics? Would you compare it to the current gen 4runner?? As that has had rear coil springs and boxed frame for a long time. Does it track nice on the highway? Last taco would not drive straight for long. Cheers!
If they left some features out like an auto up tailgate and maybe lowered the price I would be a potential buyer. As always I love the information these videos put out but from this I would prefer a frontier.
Exactly! Who needs that?
@@tommorgan1291 lazy fat people lol
The crowd dumb enough to pay 70k for a taco pro gets their nails done every week. Can't risk breaking a nail to load $100 worth of whole foods lettuce in the back like real truckers do.
@@heathcolwell9190 ha ha ha ha ha amen! They might as well hire DoorDash to deliver their groceries. Save the money and don’t buy that truck.
I just bought a new Frontier and I LOVE IT. Simple, quiet, powerful, gimmick free, and LOADED for $39k OTD!
Speaking of the Card key, best thing ever. I have one in my Lexus, its the size of a Credit Card, fits perfectly in my wallet and you never have to think about the key again. You got your wallet you got the key. Love it.
Is the card key needed for the remote entry or can you also just use the FOB ?
That’s exactly my thought. The card isn’t to put in your pocket or move around. It’s supposed to go in your wallet and stay there.
Sounds great for multiple drivers. And probably even better for valet. In Vegas they started towing Tesla's due to the owners not leaving the card.
We have a 19 tundra and a 23 corolla. I also hate the drivers door open thing. Especially at the end of a drive and i want to see mpg but ive opened the door and then turned the truck off resulting in that open door screen. Same feeling with the corolla shut off in an hour message
Great review once again fellas. 👍✌️
My 2019 Ford Ranger is averaging 25.2 MPG (in Virginia, not sure how elevation impacts MPG).
My current 3rd gen tacoma gets around 23.4 hwy and its a v6. Not sure why they are mind blown with 24 mpg. lmao.
Check out Truck King MPG with the new 2024 offroad version. Big drop in mpg's from that limited.
TK is not one mile above sea level.
Does that card have a key in it for if the battery dies ?
How’s the overall ride and interior space of the Tacoma limited compared to your Colorado or a Ford Ranger or even the Ford Maverick. I currently have a FX4 Maverick and I am considering going back to the midsize trucks.
One dislike that is still up in the air for me is the smaller gas tank. The 3rd gen had a 21.1 gallon tank and the 4th gen has an 18.2 gallon tank. The better gas millage will help a bit to make up the difference but I think the smaller tank will still be noticeable.
Have fun paying more for a worse truck. You all enjoy being taken advantage of
@@TheAnnoyingBoss did you respond to the wrong comment?
@@TheAnnoyingBossannoying indeed
@@TheAnnoyingBoss Almost all of the Toyota fanboys these days are going off a reputation that Toyota no longer deserves and a history they know nothing about. They are more interested in image and name brands so they are the perfect customers to fleece. It won't matter, every one of them will trade their new Tacoma in by 60,000 miles and buy something else because they love making car payments to have the newest thing.
That's one thing that drives me nuts. With more fuel-efficient vehicles, I want to be able to make fewer stops for gas via increased range... but these auto manufacturer knuckleheads keep shrinking the tank size in unison to prevent it from happening.
Stupid! It could even be a selling point for crying out loud.
Also, apparently, I don’t know if anyone mentioned it yet Toyota just recently as a last-minute decision right before they started building them decided to not have the chin spoiler on the Trd off-road Tacomas
The best part to me is, I live in Massachusetts; if you went the speed limit in the left lane you would get run over. Lol. Good review guys, thank you!
I think that large air dam in front is made to plow snow. Also can I plug my refrigerator into the hybrid engine if the power goes off?
I think it's weird that the towing went down. Payload now is competitive, but since i tow a lot ill probably just stay with my colorado.
My 2020 TRD PRO was 50k with every option available. It still books out at 50k!
go ahead and try to get 50k for it
@@13christbane In for a oil change dealer offered 48.5k for it. Dont think I'd ever have a problem getting at least 50k. Just wait when you see what a pile the 24's will be. Now go back to driving your Prius and leave the truck talk to the men.
Is there a button on the key card to unlock also? Remote start!?
Please show us the rear diff in detail for all of the different grades. There's a smaller 8.2" diff that comes perhaps on the RWD only truck that appears to be the same rear diff coming on the Land Cruiser.
Is that 4 cylinder engine going to have longevity with the turbo?
The type of customer who this is aimed at will destroy it with neglect and a false sense of "ItS a ToYoTa bRuH!!".
i hate the new electronic parking brake, idk why everyone is putting that shit in vehicles
Why not? I hate replacing rusty parking brake mechanisms because nobody uses them.
@@Dusdaddy ford had to recall alot of vehicles because the electronic parking brake was engaging while they were driving, also in an emergency if the electronics of the vehicle are not working then the emergency parking brake does not work, kinda defeats the purpose of it in the first place.
@@Sheepmansheep Because they are not emergency brakes. They are parking brakes. Worst thing you could in an emergency is jam on that thing.
@@Dusdaddy ok so there is no emergency parking brakes on these new vehicles, they replaced the e brake with junk

Did the engine turn of if by accident trying to reach the screen the driver touch the start/stop button?
“and reach arounds” 😂😂 Nathan is hilarious
A great comparison between the 2023 & 2024 Tacoma. I'd love to see an honest comparison of the towing power between the 2023 V6 and the 2024 4-cyl turbo. Can the new 4-cyl match the towing power of the previous V6?
The 4 cylinder will definitely exceed the V6 in towing. It’s just a matter of the torque curve and 8 speed vs 6 speed!! Look at the Ranger 2.3!! It even outperformed the 3.6 V6 in the GM twins that tows well with over 30 more hp! It’s just physics in this area. Greater torque, wider torque band AND more gears.
Until the turbo fails. I will stick to my ‘23 V6 Taco.
@@zdr5191 - they have had some issues initially with the Tundra, but think,,, if Ford can have 3.5 and 2.7s out there with 300,000+ miles on the original turbo,,, how long will Toyota’s turbos last once perfected. I have seen many Ford work trucks with very high mileage with few to no repairs, then there’s the occasional disaster. Even my buddy that owns the dealership can’t figure it out. It’s been like that for over 40 years in his experience. He says every brand has the problem, including Toyota. I had a 2014 Tundra that was the case!! In the USA I would have used the lemon law buyback, but that doesn’t exist in Canada. It was an expensive experience that put me off of Toyota, especially with how I was treated. I took perfect care of that truck and only towed 7,000 lbs with it. Like I say, they all have lemons, just some more than others!! Haha. Toyota is still a better product usually.
Industrial grade turbo on these, and does not have an electric wastegate like the tundra. It's not going to fail. @@zdr5191
Your v6 Tacoma has no power!!! It can't even keep up with traffic while empty! To all Tacoma owners I wanna say you don't belong to left line, you slowing everyone down!
I was pretty upset when I found out about the new Tacoma. We had just shopped for a midsize truck. We landed on the Gladiator over the Tacoma, Ranger and the Frontier. With that said we’re happy to have an older normally aspirated V6.
Hopefully you got a long warranty on that Jeep
Oh no, I feel so bad for you. I wouldn't own a jeep even if it was free.
cant believe anyone would by a gladiator. its junk. you got some painful car troubles in your future
@@blackdogproductions2044 he'll be fine as long as he got a long term warranty
But you bought a Jeep?
is the card key just for the non-production Tacoma?
Very good…can’t wait to see you put your new one through the ringer
Did the MPG video come out yet? I might have missed it 😢
I can’t seem to find it either.
They jumped the gun with that “Archive”. 😆
Hmm? Yes, TFL is buying one, but would YOU personally buy one? Answer that question! Also that price just may very well knock Toyota off that segment leader board….. time will tell…. For the back seat room, imagine how it’s gonna be in the TRD Pro with that stupid seat shock absorbing system? 🤔
Open that door when Ice covered. 4 cylinder turbo won't be a 500k plus engine. The '23 and older will be in more demand. Some changes like frame maybe a like, let us see the rust proofing, going forward. I can get 24 plus mpg in my V6 and that one a lot older.
What’s up with the different color headlight shades? 0:51
The one midsize truck that has a good backseat is the Gladiator. I traded my Colorado for a Gladiator and was pleasantly surprised by the substantial increase in legroom. That was countered by the decrease in fuel economy, of course. I guess that's why they say Jeeps give you smiles per gallon.
Except you traded in for the least reliable vehicle or brand.
more legroom = full-size, just no other way to do it well.
Gladiator has more rear seat room at the expense of front seat room
@@ohioguy4326 To a certain extent yes, but I think the higher seating positions and shallower dash make it possible. It's not bad unless you're a really tall driver. I've heard Tommy complain about it frequently, but I don't have any trouble finding a comfortable driving position.
Yes, I'm really tall at 6'8 so I notice those things. I can sit in the front of a new Colorado comfortably, was defiantly not the case in the Gladiator,. .@@codycoquat5953
I had a Taco for 2 years.....very very uncomfortable on long trips.....
same here, "seat jackers" by Desert Does It helped a bit with that
That's because it's not made to be comfortable.
@zenelky Exactly. It made for real man. Comfort is not necessary. 😃
This an entirely new truck though. You can’t compare an older generation to this in comfort. I am not a fan of midsize trucks personally though.
I noticed the 4x4 engagement selector, had 2h, 4h, and 4L. I thought that the limited was full time 4x4 only, ( only option being 4H or 4L), is that because you have the pre-production unit? Also, with regard to this, if that is true ( 4x4 only) did you do your mpg test in 4x4 or 4x2 mode. Great video and review as always guys, love the channel!!!
Others have said that full-time will be hybrid only option
Hello Andre,
Greetings from CO!
Good to see you & Nathan after a pretty long time.
Is Roman & Tommy still part of TFL.
Best regards
The rear seat legroom and lack of rear amenities really kills any of my drive to buy one. I do like the new front seats but i have two dogs and kids might be on the way. So that rear leg room is really a key for me. Plus i remember growing up with vehicles that had now leg room in the back and i think it literally created a phobia lol. Sorry but until Toyota gets the rear leg room and rear storage right like the fords i wont switch.
The mid-size segment is limited in this area...can't have it all and fit in your garage. My Ridgeline is just fine for me and the ride is great.
I'm very pleased with my 2022 Ranger XLT. It only cost $39,000 and runs like a scalded cat. It has all the features i want for a daily driver.
Curious on your mpgs. TFL has an FX4 and says they can't come close to EPA numbers. My dad has a '21 Ranger 4wd STX and has seen well over EPA ratings. He averages about 23-25 mpg and has seen 28+ on the highway going 75+ mph. I should add his average driving is easy/normal driving when not on the freeway.
For that price you could have bought a more capable 2-3 year old F-150.
@@SiXiam I already have 2 much more capable vehicles; a lifted Rubicon on 37s and a Power Wagon that are 2 & 3 years old. I wanted a daily driver that I wasn't wearing out expensive off roaders. Thanks for the reply.
@@bryanlewis8891 Okay I understand. Why not buy a car, which will get you in the 30mpg range?
Will it still shut off when opening doors via remote start?!
Other than the 2024 MPG I'm happy with my 2020 TRD Offroad. I'm wondering with the turbo how it will perform off road.
The fact that it has the exact same hp as the old V6, and it has more torque is awesome. I like how it also has a faster 0-60! It definitely will be fun to drive! However I will miss the robust sound the V6 had when starting it. Not a fan of the low exhaust note. The V6 may not sound like a V8, but it sounded nice in the Tacoma!
The way you started the whole paragraph just told to stay away from this car that 4 cylinder is getting squeeze like a lemon and doubt it will be as reliable as the older 4 cylinder engines
Been looking at ‘24 Chevy Colorados all day. This video was really fun to watch. I’m subscribed now. Still gonna go with the Z71 for the given price tag. The extra horse power on the trail boss really showed in the drag race video.
Love my trail boss and it only takes a tune to get it to the full 430 torque like the ZR2. Looked at every other option when getting my new truck and kept coming back to the colorado. Maybe the Ranger Raptor when it comes out but then the 24 Colorado Bison is coming soon so we'll have to see.
Payload increase hallelujah! That’s the one gripe I have about most tacos. My single cab is decent at 1295lb but any double cab taco is easy to overload, especially with the long bed. Glad to see a substantial improvement!
I struggle with this, need Dakar leafs in my DCLB. drove four hours with four GM 10 bolt rear differentials in the bed and would hit the stops on big bumps. major sag even with the “recall” springs
@@sc3ku I just have cheap add a leafs in my taco atm. 800lb of rocks is no problem!
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland EcoDiesel 4x4, which I have owned since new. It has the best "Front Air-Dam Solution" that I have ever seen. The air-dam is body-colored with some tasteful chrome accents, and it provides a "surround appearance" around the front chrome recovery hooks. I take my Grand Cherokee 4-wheeling off road A LOT. It has the Off-Road Adventure II Package, which includes among other things a lot of skid plates. I have added Mopar Rock-Sliders and numerous other bash plates from Chief Products (Australia), and a DEF line protection plate. The Front Air-Dam is very easily removable. The top edge of the air-dam pops in and out from the main plastic bumper cover with a gentle tug, after I have removed 5 large Plastic Rivet-style fasteners with a simple 1/4 twist by hand. It could not be any easier, unless I had my passenger do it for me instead. The "removed" air-dam sits most of the time inside the screened porch at my Cabin in Northern Michigan, while I am off-roading in my Grand Cherokee to get to my hunting and fishing spots. Suffice to say that if I ever had a Tacoma with that stupid piece of plastic below the front bumper, I would remove it the very 1st thing and never put it back on. The only benefit that I can see of the Tacoma's air-dam is that it can be removed without cutting into anything, and then can then be chucked straight into the Recycling Bin.
What exactly is the Tacoma class leading at? Perceived quality?
Just sales
This is actually the only thing that matters to make the sale. So you really buy a car for max HP, towing, newest features? C’mon
Probably sales and durability
@@svang1991 yes, I buy a truck for truck things
@@hamsterbrigade no, just sales now
Ridiculous they got rid of the doors on the access cab. I have a 2022 access cab and use those doors multiple times a day.
All true. BUT! Toyota’s thinking is that if the doors wouldn’t be there you would not use them even once a year! See? I bet you will not use the rear doors on the new generation Xtra cabs at all. 😃
It’s safer in a side crash
Best TFL thumbs nail EVER!
So, what was the EPA with the front lip removed?
If you are forcing the crew cab on buyers with a shorter bed then the backseat should have enough room for an average adult at least. An extended cab with a long bed for me is the ideal midsize truck as far as usefulness unless you have kids that you need to take with you often.
Midsized truck cabs all suck. You want to fit adults back there get a fullsize.
I'm an average adult and I fit in the previous generation Tacoma fine (behind a 6'2" driver). It wasnt spacious necessarily, but I fit without being too cramped. That's about all I would ever ask for in a midsize segment.
@@ALMX5DP that's absolutely right. You cant expect too much from a midsize. It will fit someone who isnt large back there. My wife is 5'3 and she fit back there with my infant son fine. But the carseat had to be in the middle and not behind me. Too cramped for my seating position. So when we had more kids it wouldn't fit anymore so we upgraded to an SUV. Those backseats, and any midsize truck will not accommodate rear facing carseats comfortably
i think ill replace my 2006 taco with a ford F150 2.7 ecoboost then.
Ranger 2.7
👍🏾
That's 42k or about 6k more than this.
that plastic airdam and grille from the 90s need to go asap
Is this the regular twin turbo or the iforce max?
For fully loaded Limited with leather and technology, 1,500 pounds of payload is not bad. My guess though that the official Toyota certified payload number will be a few hundred pounds less.
"Any day now we should be getting word about our new truck."
Sounds like the common phrase I hear on the forums for even 3rd gen Tacomas for anyone who didn't purchase one already on the lot.
Did you publish the chin spoiler comparison video? I can’t find it.
We’ll publish it this weekend.
Great review! New frontier smokes the taco! More room, na v6, fender system, great truck! That exhaust kills it and aftermarket won’t help a 4 banger.
Uncle Steve got a new Frontier last year... loved the truck but he hates the Frontier's gas mileage. It doesn't get what it promised. Other than that, he does like the vehicle. He plans on getting rid of it as soon as it makes sense to get something with better MPG.
Nissan? Seriously? Toyota is at the top because of their reliability. Nissan is garbage in comparison. Who cares if they have a few advantages over the Tacoma, the reason people buy a Toyota is unaffected by the competition.
GM needs a Colorado LT TrailBoss with LT trim or higher interior vs the current work truck interior & with LED lights around for $10k less than this Tacoma. That would be a home run in the segment.
That's essentially what the Canyon AT4 is, although it's $4-5k higher than the trailboss. I bought a 23 colorado and noticed that GM packaged the twins to where they don't really match up apples to apples. By the time you option out an AT4, you're almost to ZR2 pricing.
You are right, the Trailboss is too stripped. Want more? Get the AT4, same as the Trailboss with more basic features and the ability to add a buttload more.
Most of you may know this, using a Bluetooth obd2 dongle and an app, you can change many of those annoying sounds and preferences. It does require the ability to use the obd2 port to make those changes. Dislike eliminated. Love you guys!!
Wow that snow plow massive front lower valance will be peachy in winter.
I’ve been waiting ages to see the leg room with a real full size adult in the back . The Toyota Supra has more leg room in the back 😅.
It's a mid-size truck not full-size.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
