You’re welcome man! I think someone with a build like yours being impressed by a stock truck says a lot about what Toyota has done with the next generation of trucks. Looking forward to your video!
Your dad is a master craftsman and should absolutely start his own channel. I love watching and learning woodworking and all things construction related. I’m a good handyman, but if I had his talent, I’d be filming and sharing content. Great video and congratulations on your new ride.
Congrats! I just couldn't stomach a truck with a 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, low payload, and low in-cab storage (due to battery under rear seat), for over $65K... so I cancelled my order. I was also concerned about the reports of the transmission overheating, and I didn't really like the gurgling sound from the high intake "snorkel." I'll give this one a couple of years to mature and check again.
Congrats on the new truck. It such a great feeling. We waited months to get our 5th Gen 4Runner (because we were moving back from Japan) and the day felt like it would never come. I totally know the surreal feeling.
Been watching your channel for a long time. It’s SOOO awesome to see it grow, and allow you to work towards this new rig. It was great to see how excited you were picking it up!!!
That’s my truck. I put money down six months ago and I’m still waiting. Congratulations. That’s exactly the color I wanted, but you should’ve got the 6 foot bed…
I wanted a 6 foot, but the wheel base is insane compared to the last generation Tacoma. In my opinion, if you want to go some of the places I have gone with the long bed model then it needs 37” minimum now. For easy stuff it would do alright on 35s. But it’s got 7” more wheelbase than the gladiator in the long bed and that’s just too much.
First off, Powerstop brakes have specific break-in instructions that involve braking hard and heating them up properly. I'm not saying it's the same as a factory Tacoma, but some do involve getting them to heat up and then cool down because of different pad composition. Also, make sure you change the oil in that thing as soon as you get those 1200 miles in it.
@@IndependenceOverland It's crazy the manufacture doesn't tell people to do this. Maybe not as needed on newer engines but I certainly wouldn't take the chance if I was planning on keeping a vehicle 150k+ miles.
Good Practice is to change your oil after 1500 miles int he brand new car. Also look into Motul V300 5W30 Best oil ever for the Turbo engines. This will make your engine run smoother for longer, its one of the proper synthetic oils.
Bud, it's not just a truck, I get the big deal. This trailhunter is my dream truck. I'm working on it, I have it preorder. for some reason, I have no word on it
I remember bubbling over with anticipation when after 33 weeks my Jeep came in. You had dang near double the wait! So awesome and so excited for you. Your excitement and appreciation for the moment comes through in the video.👍🙌
Just had the Fj out this past weekend! I will have plenty of both trucks in travel content this fall! Theres a lot to love about that old blue classic!
Congrats on the new vehicle - can’t wait to see your build! Interesting comments about the brakes - I just did mine with the Powerstop brand. Their instructions were to to do 5 hard 40mph to 10mph brake events immediately followed by 5 medium 35mph to 5mph events followed by at least 5 minutes without any braking events to allow them to cool. Glad to see Blue get her window🤗
Looking forward to an unbiased, and real world review. Hope there are no problems and you really get to enjoy the vehicle, but for the high price, we really want to be able to see all the warts, if there are any.
He has plans to do a waterfall off his desk to start “the river” in the floor. He will never be finished customizing that place, and he likes it that way. He doesn’t do much sitting still!
@@IndependenceOverland that's bad ass. I'd say definitely give us an update on that the next time you venture his way. I'll be re-watching the video this evening with my girlfriend so she can check it out haha
Congrats on your new Trailhunter, my best friend in California got a new Taco last year and didn't want to wait for the new model which i think he would've preferred over the 2023 in most aspects, hindsight is 2020 as they say , here in Canada dealers are marking them up and won't even take orders according to a friend of mine here who wants one, he wants basic and nothing more id just how he's always rolled and no dealer here wants to accommodate him or take his money, so he will have to travel either to the west coaster east to Toronto or Montreal which is sad and all he wants to do is sit down and order a truck without trying to sold extras or upgraded , he understands he needs to be flexible on colour and willing to pay sticker price and not be raked over the coals, i did spend near 9 years in the industry some years back when you'd be able to order a vehicle to a pretty close extent to what you wanted, now it has turned into a task and is no longer the fun anticipated adventure it use to be, glad you got what you wanted for the right dollars 👍 in the exact colour I'd buy if i could afford one
I’ve only seen a couple of your videos so far, but I’m excited for you to pull this off! I’m just starting to save up for a nice truck like this myself, but it’s definitely going to be a long time before I get there. I’ll have to keep watching your videos while I wait!
Mannnn, it's a good thing you didn't get anything before .... Once these new designs came out, did this become your dream truck?! I was getting excited for you guys when you were in the Taxi! and man, is that ever a beautiful truck!! I read a couple comments and I agree with some. Leave it alone for a while. People never push any of these brands when right out of the box they can do almost anything... Well, what us 'Explorers' do. Most people never get even close to their capabilities stock, and they do a lot of unnecessary performance mods. Just a good set of tires and wheels (I saw the Short) then just do the fun stuff (mods). Super stoked for you guys... And I'm only two minutes in!!
Thanks man! Performance wise, the truck is going to be stock for sure aside from maybe a new spring in the rear here soon. The primary change to the truck is all the weight that will be going on the back this winter 😎
@@IndependenceOverlandawesome! That your just going to do the other mods first... Camping mods I guess you'd call it (I just woke up, not enough coffee so the brain isn't fully functioning). And see what she is like stock. But your impressions over time will be interesting.... ANNND! Your Dad's stuff (place)!! HOLY SHIT!! That stuff is amazing... I re-wound it to have another look, cuz Holy Crap it's amazing what he creates. Spectacular! (I'm an artist, so I kind of get it).
Dad’s pretty creative! He passed that to all of us in one variation or another. His house gets cooler every time! He’s got more bird houses to build soon, all with different themes. But for the truck, yes sir! Just getting it camp ready is my priority. And setting it up so I can film out of it easily, as that was a primary goal all along. Folding down the seats leaves a lot to be desired. Goose Gear will be using the truck to prototype the new delete kits next week! The Fj is just so dialed in for easy adventures. This thing has some catching up to do!
Most channels I see they seem to have infinite budgets and build a vehicle every other week to show off new gear and new items.... and don't get me wrong, i hope you get there, But I'm very excited to see a more realistic and thoughtful approach to this from you that I know you'll have. Congrats, this is huge.
Well I have been saving for a long time for this. So this build is going to probably come off to people like I have an infinite budget, which is certainly not the case! But if I’m going to build a truck, I’m going to do it in an epic way. I’m going to be making some big moves with it by the end of the year, and then just dialing it in and using it for new travel content. This truck will be around for years on this channel.
Congratulations! it's awesome to see you both so excited, and reaching this goal! I can't wait to see the build process, but a trailhunter needs what? LOL! I'm aspiring to a trailhunter 4runner in the next few years, but in the mean time I'm following your advice from previous to refresh my '13-4runner and currently building it as a trail hunter as I'm gonna live in it for retirement! :) I hope you avoided all Interstate Highways to keep those revs changing!
Congrats on the new truck! Best color I’ve seen! And totally get the fj window situation. I have. 2007 a kid and dogs. The kid hated it. Trying to sell it now. Recently picked up a Chevy trail boss and absolutely loving it.
Thanks a lot to the car dealer to help you! I love the Truck and I was looking forward to get one but the price and the markup was a no no for me. I now ended up ordering the Chevrolet ZR2 (same/ similar color) and I think that was not a bad bet as well :) congratulation on your new ride!
@@IndependenceOverland Showed my wife the video last night - she loves the look and color and asked if I was going to trade in our 2020 Taco? I have spent 4 years building our Taco to fit our use. The answer is no, and I too spent a year (2019) communicating with and discussing why Toyota USA stopped building a vehicle for the off-road user, their answer back then was their business model couldn't support a vehicle for the 5% that they estimated went off-road. Funning how times have changed - looking forward to how you find the Taco meeting your use/style with the stock components. We did speak briefly at PNW and you two were excited to make the journey after the show. Thank you for sharing your insights and honest reviews - truly appreciate the candid approach.
I was gonna order trailhunter, too. But being here in canada, we dont hav the shortbed Option. I dont like 6ft bed for overlanding/offroading. Ill hav to wait a bit longer til we get that option or just opt for ORP.
Huge congrats! 👍👍 Now, what kind of fuel economy did you see on that drive home? First thousand miles might not be representative, but after that would be enough. Plus the EPA tests new engines, so it should be able to come close to the stated numbers. I’m trying to decide whether to grab one of these or find a left-over 2023 Gladiator Rubicon diesel. Either truck will handle our trips, one has substantially more range, while one…well…is the TrailHunter, all shiny, new and loaded with fresh tech. 🙂
Litterally just got home from a trip from Montana back home in SoCal. 16 hour drive and I feel altered. But will still watch this. In sleep dep we trust lol
Nice truck. I just got the sport in the same color. Paid a lot less than you did though because it has a lot less features but still comes standard with a lot of things. Don't plan to modify mine any. I'm just a older guy that wanted something tight to drive. I have a 2013 that almost has 300,000 mi on it. So I'm pretty happy with Toyota. Good luck on whatever you do. Souping it up.
Any idea what the water fording depth is given all the electronics? I’m not sure if Toyoya will just be silent on that because it would be less than outgoing model.
YES your dad needs to make a channel. I don't even care about your truck at this point, your dad's house has taken the lead. (but congrats on the new truck, of course🙂)
Man that truck looks BEAUTIFUL!! Something that caught my eye was how the spare isnt centered under the truck 😅. Or it seemed that way. If its not centered it'll for sure drive me nuts whenever I get mine and see that 😅
Please do a video on the TSS3.0 I'm really curious to see how much the truck can drive me to get me to my overlanding destination where I'll take over. Also curious about the EMPEEGEES!

You’re welcome man! I think someone with a build like yours being impressed by a stock truck says a lot about what Toyota has done with the next generation of trucks. Looking forward to your video!
Your dad is so skilled!! He should totally share
Thank you, I will let him know!
Dude... That thing is fricken gorgeous. Congrats man. This is a momentous day! Monumental, even 😁 Nice!!
Dogs…. Don’t know what I’d do without them. Nice pup (and new rig).
They are wonderful friends! Very happy to give her a window finally! 🐶
Congrats again! I look forward to a lot more!!
Your dad is a master craftsman and should absolutely start his own channel. I love watching and learning woodworking and all things construction related. I’m a good handyman, but if I had his talent, I’d be filming and sharing content. Great video and congratulations on your new ride.
Congratulations on your achievement!
Nothing like chasing our dreams! Good luck with the new machine!
Best regards from Portugal
Thanks for checking it out my friend!
Congrats! I just couldn't stomach a truck with a 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, low payload, and low in-cab storage (due to battery under rear seat), for over $65K... so I cancelled my order. I was also concerned about the reports of the transmission overheating, and I didn't really like the gurgling sound from the high intake "snorkel."

Congrats on the truck, I’d definitely be interested in seeing more of your dad’s creations.
I will add you to the list of comments I will share with him!
Stoked for you! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Thanks man! It’s a whole new experience for sure!
This Tech Heavy Toyo is on my radar for 2025. Good Job IO!
Congrats on the new truck. It such a great feeling. We waited months to get our 5th Gen 4Runner (because we were moving back from Japan) and the day felt like it would never come. I totally know the surreal feeling.
It feels soooo good. I do wish this thing was built in Japan though, I have to say.
Congrats! Happy for you and this achievement. Cant wait to see it around in Colorado. Excited for what you do to it and the adventures you take it on.
It’s gonna be a beaut! A heavy beaut…
Been watching your channel for a long time. It’s SOOO awesome to see it grow, and allow you to work towards this new rig. It was great to see how excited you were picking it up!!!
Yes sir please help your dad get his channel up and running as soon as possible!
Hobbyist woodworker here and your Dad’s stuff is awesome! If he does get active in social media I’d enjoy seeing it. Enjoy the new Taco.
That’s my truck. I put money down six months ago and I’m still waiting. Congratulations. That’s exactly the color I wanted, but you should’ve got the 6 foot bed…

Congrats on your new truck sir, it’s always nice when your partner is supporting your hobbies. Hopeful to see you on the trails here in Colorado.😊
Congratulations!!! That is one sweet looking truck!! And your doggie gets her rear window! 😊
Congratulations Tyler! So excited for you and I can't wait to see your build as well!
Thanks Ben! I appreciate it man!
Also, your dad is badass. That stuff looks awesome and I can confirm he'd be getting hella views!
So excited to see this video! Congrats on your Trailhunter! I"m currently impatiently waiting for my dealer to find mine!
Also YES! Help your dad create a channel! I could tell just from that little cameo what a creative skilled dude he is! I'd def watch all his stuff!
I’m happy for you guys. Enjoy it! It’s well deserved ❤
Thanks man! Hoping to have it set up as comfortable as yours soon!
Your Dad does amazing wood working!!
Love the new ride, love the color. What is the name of the color?
Hes a next level artist! He can draw, paint, build, you name it! The truck color is Bronze Oxide. I LOVE it!
Congrats! That’s so cool. More than happy for you Blue!
Shes in heaven back there!
Awesome video. Great pics of your dads craftsmanship.
Congratulations on your new rig Tyler and family. It looks great, please keep the FJ in the rotation however. Love your channel, well done

Yup, I have no dog in the fight. If it has issues, you will hear about it.
Oh ya that thing is sick man!!! And your dads place is awesome too!! That idea with the floor was pretty much genius. Looks super nice 👍

Yeeesss! Man they drive sooo nice!
I’m pretty stoked I’m getting mine this saturday
Good looking truck. We went from FJ to mid-sized truck, and now in a '23 4Runner TRD Pro. It's nice to see the newer models of Toyotas.
They are something else to drive. A Toyota with power, who would have thought we would see the day?
nice wheels, congratulations. although I'm an f150 4x4 person this is a
very good looking 4x4 and with all the modern bells & whistles.
Congrats on new vehicle. Doesn't have the character of the FJ cruiser, but I do love that your dog now gets a rear window. Good luck
It doesn’t, yet! It’ll have a lot of character soon I promise!
Still waiting for my dealer to get in touch with me. I am the first one on the list at my Houston area dealer. Excited!
I noticed the beautiful Glenwood canyon and Mt. Sopris. I'm from gypsum. Beautiful area and I'm a tacoma geek too. Congrats

I have some work ahead to get it ready to do just that, but hopefully I can get it out soon!
Were you able to resolve the noise from the roof rack? Getting a trailhunter also and was thinking about getting the roof rack, thanks
Congrats! What a solid truck!
No mark ups? Cool!!! They’re one of the good guys!
💯
Any idea what the water fording depth is given all the electronics? I’m not sure if Toyoya will just be silent on that because it would be less than outgoing model.
Congrats! Great looking truck. Will be fun to watch what you do to it 🙂
Thanks for watching man! This thing is gonna get good!
good luck with that transmission! fingers crossed.
Haha thanks! I’m sure they will sink a spankin new one in if it blows up 😀
Those 18inch wheels won’t last too long city driving here in intown Atlanta. Hope those are strong forged wheels
Like everyone here, I'm so happy for you. I get mine at the end of August so I'll be watching closely for anything you have to say.
It’ll be here before you know it man!
man im excited for this build, i have a 24 trd off road im slowly modding
YES your dad needs to make a channel. I don't even care about your truck at this point, your dad's house has taken the lead. (but congrats on the new truck, of course🙂)
Haha thanks man!
Beautiful truck. Hope you get years of enjoyment out of it.
Thanks man! I hope so too!
Congrats that’s a bad ass truck
Congrats! I can't wait to get mine haha a few more months! 😁
I am stoked for you, they are awesome! (so far anyway)
Man that truck looks BEAUTIFUL!! Something that caught my eye was how the spare isnt centered under the truck 😅. Or it seemed that way. If its not centered it'll for sure drive me nuts whenever I get mine and see that 😅
It is not dead center, that’s for sure.

Awesome truck ,Luv the vids!
Thanks for tuning in brother!
Glad to hear they had no markup. Nice truck!
Me too, or I was gonna fly back home!
Please do a video on the TSS3.0 I'm really curious to see how much the truck can drive me to get me to my overlanding destination where I'll take over. Also curious about the EMPEEGEES!
I will cover some of this in a future video!
Nice review and congratulations!
Congratulations, beautiful Toyota!🎉🤙😎

I bet it’s Oxmoor Toyota. That’s where I got my first Taco.
