The thing I hate about every up to speed video, is that each one makes me want to buy that specific car. Even if I had no interest in it before, I'll want it after watching it. You guys are partially responsible for the 4Runner in my driveway right now
@@AltimaNEO I already kinda wanted one, having done some research about them when getting my 4Runner, but they're so good at hyping up cars! My friend recommend I look at 4Runners when I was looking to buy my first car, but I dismissed it because I wasn't big on Toyotas (I come from a Ford family). These videos helped change my mind. 10/10, would buy a Toyota again
...You mean AFTER they were sued? lol. FYI, they didn't fix the frames on the new trucks. So up to 2017's are in on the recall. 2018+ had a special wax used when parts of the frame are pressed together. That's it. That said, I have a Tacoma and I've sprayed everything that will rust with cosmoline. Should be good to go.
@@BB-nn9en Exactly. A lot of people are complaining about the big three trucks rusting out too, however, I have always said that proper rust proofing is up to the customer. It's simply too expensive and time consuming for the manufacturer to give a prick about that, so when you buy new, cosmolene, undercoat and spray the living hell out of the metal underneath, remove the plastic crevice plugs and spay wax inside the frames, etc. That will help more than anything.
They (Toyota) bought my 1998 Taco due to frame rust, gave me KBB excellent condition price... it was far from excellent condition, 338,000 miles, every body panel was bent, interior well used, and the clutch was just about gone. The way they handled that is the reason I bought an 06, and last year a 2020.
I'm still enjoying my 1980 (1979.5?) Toyota 2WD. It's a family heirloom. I love it to death. A Crystler 300 rear ended her 4 years ago, totaled the Crystler, damaged my bumper and tailgate. Took me a while to find original parts to restore it. Was a headache. Hope it never happens again. I'll hold on to this little truck like my life though
@@eastwood4006 dang id be cautious driving that truck around even though id want to just show her off on the road lol. That 1980 year toy is what i am looking for as its my birth year and i love that body style. 🤙🏾
I just sold my 1999 Tacoma a few weeks ago and already miss him. I put every one of the 294,000 miles and still had the original clutch. Ball joints were always an issue. Other than basic maintenance, that thing served me well. I sold it to a 15 year old kid. It's going to be a father and son project. He was super stoked and so was I. It's going to a good home. The only stipulation in the sale was I get the first offer to buy it back if he ever sells it. Almost forgot, that kid told me about this channel too. I've been sick for the last two days binge watching. 👍
Coolest Tacoma story I’ve heard was about a green beret who literally used it as mobile cover when insurgents ambushed an outpost. He basically drifted it right up to the terrorists faces to help the defense. After the fight, it was beat to shit and had an RPG shell stuck in a quarter panel. The dude took a picture of it and sent it to Toyota with a letter of thanks for such a badass truck.
I saw a video during one of the FOB Salerno attacks where a Tacoma takes an RPG to the face and it backs up and drives away. Pretty amazing stuff. 10:50ish in this video, might be a grenade?? ruclips.net/video/IjuSeSFqAgE/видео.html
I recently bought a 2021 Tacoma TRD offroad with a 6 speed manual. I've put a thousand miles on it in 3 weeks already. By far my favorite car I've ever owned!
I recently (last Sunday) bought a 96 Toyota Tacoma four-banger, auto. I put 500 miles on it in 3 days. (200 just to drive it home from buying it). I do wish it was manual, but it's still my favorite vehicle (it's a pick-up, not a car) that I've ever owned.
I drove a 1985 Toyota pickup for about 25 years, and it was certainly the most reliable vehicle I ever had (except for the legendary rust problem). I really needed a bigger truck, so I traded it in for a used RAM work truck. But in 2017 I couldn't stand it anymore, and bought a new Tacoma as my daily driver.
Hunter Jackson 3rd gen to drive is great, I got the off-road package so the Bilsteins are brilliant. But in all the 1st gen, all steel body panels no mucking about with plastics.
I worked at the California factory where the Tacoma was made and we couldn't make enough of them !! Demand was Crazy!!! Iv had mine for 20 years now and it looks and runs great.

I used to work at Autozone and when people would bring in their classic vehicles, I would ask for mileage. The highest mileage vehicle I ever saw in person was a t100 with over 750k miles. I’ve always wanted a Toyota truck since but I never have the money since their resell values match their durability
I've worked on a few T100's that rolled over. Other cars I've seen roll over include pre-Ford Volvo's, classic beetles, and suprisingly a few Acura SUV's
I have a friend who has a t100 with over 400k and still drives like it's new, guy bought it in 99 and said he wouldn't need to buy any other truck again...I can see why
My uncle is a Honda technician and even he told me Toyota uses parts that will last forever, whereas other manufacturers use parts that will all start going out at around the same mileage.

One little known thing about the Tacomas is that at the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan 2002, the U.S. Special Operation Forces purchase a lot of these trucks from U.S. dealers, modify them and them ship them to the Area of Operations (AO). There were many reasons for that. 1. The Humvees 6.5L diesel engine is very noisy and is inefficient, compare to a gasoline one. 2. Both Northern Alliance and the Taliban forces used Toyota Hilux trucks and they were somehow similar to the Tacomas (at least in shape) and they are more under the radar than a Humvee or any other U.S. Military Vehicle. Perfect for cover U.S. Special Operations in the area. 3. In case such vehicle was destroyed in combat operations or forced to abandon it was easy to replace.

Leonardo Andres Garcia Pedraza I used to work on a national guard base in VA and the special forces guys had a bunch of Hulixs the were able to have them in the US under government plates
@Gabe Well, an American truck is very rare outside North America specially in Afghanistan. Remember that US SOF missions need to draw as little attention as possible and the Tacomas were perfect for that role. Using American truck would ruin their missions.
Good guy Toyota, paying for replacing frames and reimbursing to people who replaced them beforehand. It may have cost a lot of money but that's a really good pr move, showing that they care. Respect for Toyota.
The Toyota Hilux trucks we had overseas were absolutely INDESTRUCTIBLE. Along with cockroaches, I'm pretty the Toyota Hilux could withstand a nuclear detonation.
the older ones could have you seen the topgear segment on the dam thing they set it on fire drowned the dam thing and most of all set it on top of a building that got demoed it still ran
my 05 is rolling smooth on stock internals! (it's not just this, but toyota's dedication to improvement that makes my family Toyo Fo Life. (05 stock tacoma, can't wait to own a 4runner and Taco/Tundra!)
I love my 2010 Tacoma Thinking of going in Hock & buy a 2022 Tundra. Keeping my Tacoma . The tundra would be my second vehicle. But listening to *"Scotty Kilmer"* I think I'll wait till 2023 when Toyota gets all the bugs out of the 2022.
I got an '09 and I had a 99 4runner limited (ran good but was too rusty.) My 09 DCLB has a new frame and upcoming new upgrades. I wouldn't mind having a clean 4runner, Land Cruiser or another Tacoma or a Tundra. Truly awesome engineering. My first Toyota was on a Super Nintendo game called Super Off-Road: The Baja ;) 🟥🟧🟨⬜
Rev glad I’m not the only one that caught that. I was starting to question that the 1GRFE was available in 1st gen double cabs. Of course, it wasn’t. Fun fact, the 1st gen double cab was also never available in a manual. Otherwise I’d have had one.
Ya i was about to say, ive worked at toyota and Lexus for 10 years and i have never seen a 1gr in a 2nd gen taco. Thou im sure someone out there has swapped one into a 2nd gen like i did for my pickup.
@Donut Media for timestamps, 7:40 you refer to the face lifted 1st gen tacoma as "a new taco" but it's not a 2nd gen. You show the X-runner which was on the 2nd gen platform and proper to what you were trying to say. Then at 9:35 you show the 2nd gen and claim its the 3rd gen. You only show the 3rd gen tacoma at 10:14 I notice you guys did this with the everything you need to know about 4runners and pickups as well, c'mon guys! Fantastic videos but you're confusing the audience you want to educate!
My 96 has an original engine and trans 3.4L 5speed manual has 580k miles on it and I did a frame repair myself in 2015. I take it everywhere and anywhere that it can fit. Still ticks like a clock.
I used to have a 4x2 Hilux... IT never ever got rust or broke!! Even in her last days with me running without sensors, the valve cover was broken, but never quit! Love Toyota!
Yes, they did the same exact thing multiple times in the 4runner video. I commented and pointed it out there, but got down voted lol. Personally I think it ruins the credibility of the videos and makes me want to stop watching, seems like more effort went into the jokes and animation segments than actually making sure their facts are straight and line up with "their" footage.

Actually, the Tacoma was a totally new model apart from the previous pickup. The model that was known as "Toyota Pickup" later became the Toyota Hilux and continued to be sold in other markets. For North America, it was discontinued and a new vehicle was developed and sold: Toyota Tacoma. The Hilux (previous pickup) is still being sold in many parts of the world today.
Was the hilux then later because just toyota truck in the US. Everywhere else, it is still branded as a hilux. But yeah like mentioned above, the Tacoma is totally different than the hilux. Theres no demand for the hilux here in the states because we have full size half ton trucks as compared to other countries where our midsized trucks would be their fill sized trucks. Hell its like we get the Nissan Frontier yet everyone else gets a slightly larger and definitely tougher Nissan Navara or Patrol Safari.
@@neomeg2232 Yeah, because America is the only place that uses LHD🙄. It is different. I'm sure they share some things, but they are different, different engines, exterior, even the chassis codes differ. Do a little research.
Oh my goodness!! I’ve watched Donut for so long and I realized you guys featured the white Tacoma video from my family’s business Viva Las Vegas Autos. I am HONORED
Luciel Campbell No no no, galloper is a cheap reproduction of the first variations of the Pajero but with a terrible engine and quality control. It has nothing to see with the real ones.
@@xaviercrawford650 my father went through 3 of those! After one failed, he got another and kept the first for parts. After the second one failed, he got a third that was in very bad shape and used the first two trucks as parts to make a Franken-Yota. No panels matched, it was a good machine.
I drove a 90 Toyota “Tacoma” as a farm run around. It was the most basic truck I’ve ever seen. No door no bed no exhaust nothing. Had a 4 cylinder with a 5 speed. We beat that thing to hell until the brakes went. I miss that truck.
My wife has one. It's a really solid truck. I have a 2.7L EcoBoost F150 and it's insane how hard I smoke her 3.5L TRD Off Road. Just 0-60 my heavier truck is almost 2 seconds faster.
@@Limitedition182 yours is also turbo charged and I’d be willing to put money on the fact that the Toyota will be on the road when that f150 is in the junk yard.
I am the proud owner of a 2010 Tacoma SR5 Prerunner. Had it for almost a year now, and I never ever want to sell it. SO much fun to drive! Also, even though it's only RWD, it still absolutely rips off-road. I took it to the beach the other day, and I actually pulled out a 4wd Hummer H3.

One little known thing about the Tacomas is that at the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan 2002, the U.S. Special Operation Forces purchase a lot of these trucks from U.S. dealers, modify them and them ship them to the Area of Operations (AO).
There were many reasons for that.
1. The Humvees 6.5L diesel engine is very noisy and is inefficient, compare to a gasoline one.
2. Both Northern Alliance and the Taliban forces used Toyota Hilux trucks and they were somehow similar to the Tacomas (at least in shape) and they are more under the radar than a Humvee or any other U.S. Military Vehicle. Perfect for cover U.S. Special Operations in the area.
3. In case such vehicle was destroyed in combat operations or forced to abandon it was easy to replace.

Leonardo Andres Garcia Pedraza I used to work on a national guard base in VA and the special forces guys had a bunch of Hulixs the were able to have them in the US under government plates
nice, thnx for the info.
This dude School me until I literally click the link.
Its coolwhen the military uses civilian cars,like the 1st gen silverados
@Gabe Well, an American truck is very rare outside North America specially in Afghanistan.
Remember that US SOF missions need to draw as little attention as possible and the Tacomas were perfect for that role. Using American truck would ruin their missions.

Good guy Toyota, paying for replacing frames and reimbursing to people who replaced them beforehand. It may have cost a lot of money but that's a really good pr move, showing that they care. Respect for Toyota.
Toyota and Ford: The only companies I trust.
The Toyota Hilux trucks we had overseas were absolutely INDESTRUCTIBLE. Along with cockroaches, I'm pretty the Toyota Hilux could withstand a nuclear detonation.
the older ones could have you seen the topgear segment on the dam thing they set it on fire drowned the dam thing and most of all set it on top of a building that got demoed it still ran

My 2005 is still rollin. Can't wait to buy another one in 10 or so years.
More like 20 years if you do the maintenance on time
my 05 is rolling smooth on stock internals! (it's not just this, but toyota's dedication to improvement that makes my family Toyo Fo Life. (05 stock tacoma, can't wait to own a 4runner and Taco/Tundra!)
I love my 2010 Tacoma
Thinking of going in Hock & buy a 2022 Tundra. Keeping my Tacoma . The tundra would be my second vehicle.
But listening to *"Scotty Kilmer"* I think I'll wait till 2023 when Toyota gets all the bugs out of the 2022.
I have a 2020 Pro Turd and I still want a 2005.
I got an '09 and I had a 99 4runner limited (ran good but was too rusty.) My 09 DCLB has a new frame and upcoming new upgrades. I wouldn't mind having a clean 4runner, Land Cruiser or another Tacoma or a Tundra. Truly awesome engineering. My first Toyota was on a Super Nintendo game called Super Off-Road: The Baja ;) 🟥🟧🟨⬜
Your pictures are out of sync, you show a facelifted 1st gen and talk about it as a 2nd gen, then you show a 2nd gen and refer it as a 3rd gen
Rev glad I’m not the only one that caught that. I was starting to question that the 1GRFE was available in 1st gen double cabs. Of course, it wasn’t.
Fun fact, the 1st gen double cab was also never available in a manual. Otherwise I’d have had one.
Ya i was about to say, ive worked at toyota and Lexus for 10 years and i have never seen a 1gr in a 2nd gen taco. Thou im sure someone out there has swapped one into a 2nd gen like i did for my pickup.
noticed it too. I'm sure there illustrators/editors are kicking themselves now
@Donut Media for timestamps, 7:40 you refer to the face lifted 1st gen tacoma as "a new taco" but it's not a 2nd gen. You show the X-runner which was on the 2nd gen platform and proper to what you were trying to say.
Then at 9:35 you show the 2nd gen and claim its the 3rd gen. You only show the 3rd gen tacoma at 10:14
I notice you guys did this with the everything you need to know about 4runners and pickups as well, c'mon guys! Fantastic videos but you're confusing the audience you want to educate!
My 96 has an original engine and trans 3.4L 5speed manual has 580k miles on it and I did a frame repair myself in 2015. I take it everywhere and anywhere that it can fit. Still ticks like a clock.

And the lowrider culture episode!
Looks like you're in luck, check the channel
This episodes ilustrations are pretty messed up. As James talks about the next generation, the video continues to highlight the previous one.
Not only that, but later on in the video they do the exact opposite, they showcase the 3rd gen Tacoma while still talking about the 2nd gen
Yeah, the generations are off each time
They got it all messed up.
Did bug me a bit...
Yes, they did the same exact thing multiple times in the 4runner video. I commented and pointed it out there, but got down voted lol. Personally I think it ruins the credibility of the videos and makes me want to stop watching, seems like more effort went into the jokes and animation segments than actually making sure their facts are straight and line up with "their" footage.

same with their footage for when they start talking about the 3rd gen, they're showing a facelift 2nd gen.
Yeahh I was thinking the same thing 🤦♂️
And I'm pretty sure the frame rust was on the first gen tacos. The second gens had the recall for the leaf springs rusting out.

You can’t beat the first gen Tacomas. Those are indestructible.
Actually, the Tacoma was a totally new model apart from the previous pickup. The model that was known as "Toyota Pickup" later became the Toyota Hilux and continued to be sold in other markets. For North America, it was discontinued and a new vehicle was developed and sold: Toyota Tacoma. The Hilux (previous pickup) is still being sold in many parts of the world today.
The Hilux is the name they use for the Tacoma in foreign markets. Like every car it goes through generations. Still the same car though
@@neomeg2232 The Tacoma is totally different to the Hilux
Was the hilux then later because just toyota truck in the US. Everywhere else, it is still branded as a hilux. But yeah like mentioned above, the Tacoma is totally different than the hilux. Theres no demand for the hilux here in the states because we have full size half ton trucks as compared to other countries where our midsized trucks would be their fill sized trucks. Hell its like we get the Nissan Frontier yet everyone else gets a slightly larger and definitely tougher Nissan Navara or Patrol Safari.
@@ameershah68 yeah because it's rhd🙄
@@neomeg2232 Yeah, because America is the only place that uses LHD🙄. It is different. I'm sure they share some things, but they are different, different engines, exterior, even the chassis codes differ. Do a little research.

I miss my 88 4runner and 89 Pickup. The 22RE was a beast engine.
2uz is definitely better
1987 pickup was my first vehicle ever and I absolutely miss the shit out of it. That little dookie brown 5 speed was the best vehicle I have owned.
@@xaviercrawford650 my father went through 3 of those! After one failed, he got another and kept the first for parts. After the second one failed, he got a third that was in very bad shape and used the first two trucks as parts to make a Franken-Yota. No panels matched, it was a good machine.
For the record, its pronounced High-Lux, not Hee-Lux 🤣
I was like "Isn't high lux?" And started questioning all my existence.. But now that I saw your comment I feel better.
