It looks like Toyota took a cut in parts quality to pay for advanced tech in the cab. I hope this a one off, considering the hell Top Gear got their Hilux through !
I HATE when someone says "Well, it's the 1st year its to be expected". This is a $45k - $50K truck that is meant for off-roading. Those conditions were no where near abuse. If everyone waited a year or more to buy the 1st redesign of anything then the manufacturers would lose their butts. These should be tested and tested again before any consumer gets their hands on it.
You the consumer are the $50k beta sucker. Just ask Bro Ro.
@@southsidetom Not me. I have a $25k Corolla. Lol
The truck is labled for Off-Roading, not built for Off-Roading.
@@mnwrench6835So the lable is just a lable? We stuck that sticker on the truck for looks, we really don't mean for you to take it off-road? lol
The 1st gen Raptors were toughted by Ford as a great Baja type truck. What started to happen on those trucks? The frame started to bend. I've even read a story about a Jeep Wrangler (maybe even a Gladiator but cant exactly remember) that drove his Jeep through a muddy puddle at a not so fast speed but enough to throw water/mud onto the hood. It lost power due to the alternator getting too much water/mud on it. Jeep DENIED his warranty claim as they claimed it was due to abuse!
Tundra's have had, and still do, issues with going from 2HI to 4HI or 4LO not fully engaging. The 4HI/4LO flash nonstop on the cluster and you have to let the truck sit for minutes to literally over night before it finally disenages the partial 2HI to 4HI or 4LO transition. Toyota does nothing about it, even when a customer brings it in.
The Tacoma's were a solid performer up until it and it shows. They put in these little turbo 4 bangers (turbo for off roading, ok...) and redesigned the 4wd for it. So good luck to all the 1st generation owners of the new 2024 Tacoma's and these future issues you have from barely off roading them.
These guys just convinced most if not all old tacoma and old tundra owners to keep their trucks.
Yep. Hopefully this was just a manufacturing defect... If not, I'll never get rid of my 16 manual transmission
Absolutely keeping my 2005 tundra haha
I've been drooling over these new tacomas lately. I think I'll stick to my trusty 07' with the 3.5" lift, though 170k miles be damned!
I’m keeping my 2020 until they get rid of the electric and go back to a v6
I’m keeping my trd 2021 Tacoma until the new tacomas are flawless again 😂
That snap was the most beautiful sound ever. It was the sound of my 2021 going up in value.

@@dadventuretv2538 Well damn man you've driven from bottom for south American to the Arctic circle?! How was your trip in Africa? And did you enjoy driving through the Nordic countries?
To break the transfer case practically on ice with low traction is alarming. They weren’t abusing or pushing this thing at all.
Its their garbage fake limited slip diff wheel braking while on power to hold the wheel from spinning. was ok when tacoma was low torque but the new turbo 4cyl add heaps of low end torque. The scary thing is Toyota won't redesign this until it strands tens of thousands of people enough to make a recall
That trail isn't even that bad and for the toyota to just broke down just means that the parts weren't built for it.
I’ll tell you exactly what broke this truck. It’s a phenomenon well known in the turbo industry. It’s called dynamic loading. In short the turbo at consistent low RPMs generates a ton of torque. It overloaded the gear train somewhere in the front end and something broke. Based on the behavior I think they ripped out the front ring gear or ripped several teeth off of it by overloading it. The transfer case was still in 4wd but chances are the shaft was just spinning on either a stripped ring or pinion gear. Most transfer cases are chain driven or gear driven with very sturdy gears. Usually it’s the ring and pinion up front that give way.. it’s possible this was a defective part
@@matthewcaughey8898I am not disagreeing with you at all, BUT, I can show you thousands of Honda civic putting out 700-1400 hp on factory transmission. Also look at all the diesel trucks with heavy mods and they are not snapping like this. For a Toyota I am shocked.
@@blocktrain849a Colorado on an ice trail will😂
No cruise control on the Chevy is absolutely insane in today’s day and age.
Even the cheapest cars you can buy today have cruise, typical GM cost cutting 🤣🤣🤣
@@AndyFox22 the chevy didnt blow its transfer case under low load though, so id say chevy came out on top. While i will agree GM cost cuts in certain areas, I have a 2018 Silverado LTZ Z71 and it is perfect, has no issues.
Chevy is a piece of shit
Yeah I would definitely look at an older one I don't like the sound of the new motor either it's noisy .
My 2011 nissan navara/frontier does have it and it's not even a fully optioned version lol
i love how the Tacoma broke and then 2 seconds later a Toyota add appears and says " imagine yourself in a new Toyota !"
In my worst nightmare.

I’m glad TFL does testing like this. That wasn’t abusive testing at all, just normal off road stuff.
But how many people actually off-road in the icy mountains
@@Moose-wj8sc Every single hunter and fisherman above the 40th parallel in North America.

You know what's better than a new pickup off road? An old pickup without payments off road.
This^ go buy a cheap old Toyota jeep ect whatever you prefer and have fun. Don’t have to worry about scratches dents or even making back home with it lol
I have been doing stuff like this, and worse, in my 2010 tacoma for almost 10 years. Never once did i ever feel i was going to break something, and its been 100% reliable. They werent even doing anything to abuse the truck. Spinning the tires on snow? I do that to mine just to exercise the 4wd😂. What a pos this thing is, and sadly has soiled the tacoma name
Any aged pickup without buttons controlling the drivetrain.
Every old pickup used to be a new pickup. If no one buys these new, there won't be any used pickups to buy in 10 years.
@@JeremyHoutgoogleplus correct. My 3rd Gen 4runner limited was dirt cheap 5 years ago, everything underneath works including the rear locker and I've had tons of fun in northern AZ with it. One day I'll get it painted and redo the interior, but that's all cosmetic.
Your local Toyota dealer: "I know its 60k and no heated seats, but you're buying reliability and offroad durability"
Right? Except you're not getting that either. You're basically paying for a badge and a reputation from 30yrs ago.
@@palebeachbum 100%. honda and toyota both built amazing reputations in the 90s to early '00s and theyve been coasting downhill ever since unfortunately.
Look under the hood, and seeing all the hoses, wires and tubes running up over and around and thru....even a city dweller can tell you that these are high maintenance monsters....freeway cruisers and money guzzlers. Want reliability...go fix up and completely rebuild a 1999 unit and put the money NOT spent rebuilding in the bank.
@@saleplainsThis is when it's proudly made in USA slowly put their genes into it.
It shows as in this reality show.
I’m 71 and have been driving in snow and 4wheeling since I was 17. First thing l learned DON’T use low range in the snow, use the highest gear it will pull itself, less tire spin!
Nailed it
My cars were all rear wheel drive until I bought a 2004 Toyota Corolla. With good winter tires nothing has stopped me.
Won’t there be more wheel spin if your in higher gears??
Can't use lockers in high on the new Tacoma. Sucks!
You must be joking....I'm 98 and know that low gears and low tire pressure are the answer to DEEP snow.....maybe on pavement your way is better.
I’m still with the fact that if you’re paying that much for a truck it should not have broken under the circumstance.
Don’t thrash it around on the trails and all that and it’ll be fine
That's not thrashing at all.
Agreed this was by far not thrashing. I have put my truck through far worse and still drove it home with functioning parts.
my 30 year old toyota would never break like this on a trail@@slapshotjack9806
This is an OFF ROAD a TRD OFF ROAD and they took it OFF ROAD and it FAILED
This is the testing we are grateful for! Never thought I’d see Toyota break down in a practical situation like this…
Once in a while. As soon as yota see this issue theyll fix it.
@vikashummer net? Nah they've garbage recently.
Why? I've seen plenty Toyotas left at the side of the road . Man made mechanical things offer break.
@@vikashummerSure they will.😂
@albion2742 Sure bud! It is a rare day that you see a Tacoma broke down on the side of the road. I've seen Tacoma's do RIDICULOUS things and keep going. I just read an article about a 1.6 million mile 2008 Tacoma. In nearly 30 years of Tacomas, this is the first time I've ever heard of one breaking nearly instantly. This is Toyotas equivalent of Harley's AMF erra. Vehicles that break often and when they do its a fortune to fix. BMW powered Supra, Subaru powered GR86, piss poor turbo charged trucks that are incredibly difficult to work on and a fortune to repair. It's $32k to replace the new Tundra engine and you can't just do it in your back yard.
This is the greatest ad chevy could of ever asked for
Their truck is at “stop sale” so they can’t really use this against Toyota
@Blackhawk556. well my point t is, the chity chevy made it up
And the toyyoda blew a diff...
Yeah in Canada a ZR2 Costs less than a TRD odd road, I was already thinking the ZR2 seemed like a great deal and now it seems even better.
@@GregorBlacksmith yeaa, I wished they would bring back the Dakota but make it look like the 1952 model year dodge truck with the split windows
@@Blackhawk556.That "stop sale" order is due to "software "not "hardware." Looks like toyota needs a stop sale order for hardware LOL be honest with yourself, toyota reliability is a thing of the past since they are forced to modernize their engines and transmissions instead of using the same ones from 20 years ago.
These guys never cease to amaze me. How have they been doing this so long and still have zero idea what they are doing/talking about?
They sure can read a brochure though.
omfg yes, how has no one else noticed.

"We're working as beta testers for the Tacoma"
Consumers should not be the beta testers for auto manufacturers
I wouldn’t call them consumers either. They are enthusiasts. They bought it to test it.
Capitalism baby!
That is the definition of Beta testing. Consumers testing a new product.
@@str775 not exactly, general consumers are not beta testers. Enthusiasts are beta testers. Except maybe a public beta like FSD Beta is a beta and people complain that it’s not ready. Come on it’s a beta for a reason.
@@Defianthuman Beta is usually for a product not yet available for the public. This garbage is already in the showrooms, meaning it's supposed to be fully "tested" and ready to go.
Snapped axle shaft? This wasn’t abuse and it’s on small stock tires… what happens when you put 33s? Very sad.
Yep, the lowest friction surface possible and POP. Not good.
funny cuz they said in the first snow for this truck a few videos ago everything was over built including the drive shaft. i guess not
Much rather a Defender!
@@jimmyh6601 for reliability right ?
@@oliverramclam6009 compared to this Toyota yes!
Chevrolet pulling itself and the Toyota .
Great commercial for Chevrolet.
The Tacoma front differential has been trash for a while. I hit the 5-year mark on my powertrain and as soon as I did we started feeling a vibration and hearing noises from the front diff. Dealer (Roseville,CA) saw the vehicle 3-4 times and refused to address the issue w/o a full failure. Said it was cupped tires. Tires only had 3k miles on them. Sure as shit, needle bearing was trashed. But we had to fix it on our own.
Driveline Engineer here. The conditions when the failure occurred were modest. Very low mu surface, limited alternating mu conditions, no wheel hop, limited wheel spin, lightly loaded, relatively flat ground, stock setup, limited to no steering angle, limited cyclic damage due to new-ish hardware.
A failure under these conditions is abnormal. My assumption is the majority of the damage was done at an earlier point and this is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Making it a fatigue failure. However, I feel like we’ve seen the majority of the obstacles this truck has experienced and nothing has been unreasonable so far. I must wonder if it is a Quality issue.
Please let us know what you find!
The truck just came out and it’s already fatigued? Shame how far Toyota has fallen. Guess them moving manufacturing to Mexico didn’t help. 50k truck fail
Not relatively flat ground though.
@@angelgjr1999Tacomas have been made in Baja since 2004. You’re waaay behind. 😆

Most likely qualify control.
Andre should’ve said “Good thing the Tacoma has cruise control to help it get off the mountain”

The Toyota tax and resale value will surely help.

I find so much comedy in Alex’s shameless promo in the middle of Roman struggling 😂
Drama sells especially with a new Toyota. Pretty talented that he understood the scenario and didn't miss the opportunity to get a quick one out on social media. Brings focus on the main video when it releases.
A true PR move.
Funny times we live in😂 everyone is like TMZ reporters now
Go to a concert nowadays. Almost nobody realy listens to the music and enjoys it. Most film it with their phones to show everybody on social media where they are right now.
Alex "Tune in next week folks!"
Roman "someone tell me if I'm gonna hit a tree!"
"Old men in new trucks struggle up a 10ft hill" should be the title
That could be done in 2wd with some power and momentum. Instead they spun both trucks flexed out on a 3 foot tall rock covered in some snow. Bad on the Taco. Absolutely horrendous driving.

Don't let anyone tell you Toyotas don't have issues. I have a neighbor with a 22 Rav4. Tons of issues since purchase.
TFL is the best ! Real world no BS testing with honest results !
End of an era. RIP Tacoma, first 3 generations were awesome at least.
It won't be theend for the Tacoma. It's the first year of a new version of the truck. Remember that the 3g Taco had it's issues in the first 2 years of production - and most of those issues were hammered out (the gear hunting issue still exists). Give it a little time, the 4g will be as reliable.
Always avoid the first gen of a new model. This goes for even Tacomas.
@@joelopez5018exactly. I never buy a car until it has been in production for at least a year. Building a car in the numbers involved in testing and development is entirely different than full production with new and retooled facilities
True, but these issues are more fundamental than just manufacturing glitches. The 4th gen is a completely different vehicle and designed with very different priorities: reliability, durability, longevity, simplicity...not a single one of these was a primary concern. Instead, they only prioritized: make it look cool, more leg room, and reduce emissions as much as humanely possible so the US gov will allow us to stay in business.
@@joelopez5018
Unfortunately, it didn't have big problems like gen 4 Tacoma. Lol@@UltimatePostman
I had a 67 International Scout with a 196 four cylinder that would climb telephone poles. It had All Wheel drive (positraction in the rear, straight axle - no planetaries - in the front). I once crossed this river in the middle of nowhere in Northern Baja in winter that had about 6" of water (at the start) in it and was over 100' wide. It looked flat. The road I was on (dirt) continued on the other side so I figured it was safe to cross. I put it in 4 wheel low, locked the lockers (kids don't even know what those are these days) and proceded to idle across. As I was approaching the other side I noticed the river getting deeper and the 2" lip on the other side was actually 18" to 2' deeper under water. I had no choice but to keep going because if I stopped my car would have been buried in the sand as the river dug out underneath it. I just went straight for that bank, gave it some gas as I hit it straight with my bumber. The thing just plowed through the bank, popped straight up and crawled right out. Never want to do that again! I heard farmers used those things in their fields to rake hay, pull heavy loads, etc. When I rebuilt the engine the mounting bolts to the clutch housing were 3/4" (for reference, a Chevy pickup back then might have 3/8" mounting bolts). I think it's safe to say they don't build vehicles like that anymore.
TFL doesn't even know what lockers are haha. The Tacoma HAS a locker in the rear and they weren't even using it until after the mechanical.
Spends $60,000 on truck, refuses to spend $1000 on snow tires, gets stuck in an inch of snow, falls on ass when he tries to stand, breaks the truck, and is too weak to push. Truly, every stereotype I have about truck buyers, and modern trucks, has been confirmed.
"Mechanical loss or four wheel drive in an attempt to maneuver the all new 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD off-road over a small obstacle covered by a dusting of snow is THE PEAK OF TOYOTA'S LEGENDARY REPUTATION OF DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY! Get yours today!"
Boy… after Chevy’s software glitches and the Tacos break I’m feeling pretty good about my decision to go with the Frontier Pro-4X! Two years of on and off-road driving and 35,000 miles later and no issues at all.
You are not wrong my friend.
Titan is the most reliable truck made since the tundra died in 2021.
I have a 22 Titan Pro4x too that's been issue free for 25k with plenty of off roading in the sierras.
Yeah but didn’t Nissan discontinue that truck for ‘24?
Same here!
this is why I'm keeping my 2019 Nissan frontier simple, Been the same for 20 years. Not a lot of electronics. Tough. Never breaks down
Apparently the new ones are holding up well too. Probably due to the remaining V6 high output. That baby can tow like 6.8k pounds! They also keep the trims simple. I hate how Chevy has so many damn variations. Toyota is getting there too now a days.
Contrary to the beliefs that all nissans have junk CVT transmissions, I heard that the 5 speed was actually very good in these.
I have a 2019 P4X Frontier and I adore the thing. Such a great truck.
They don't make Toyotas like they used to. These days Toyota is just going on their past reputation.
lmao got a tacoma ad while watching this
😂
Me too
Yep
5th gen 4Runner guys just eating popcorn and being amused 😂
6th Gen 4Runner will be the same thing as this 2024 Turd Tacoma. Made cheaper, weaker, but more expensive. Your 5th Gen will be desired more and more. Keep it!
And 3rd gen Tacoma owner. I own a 2021 5th gen 4 runner as well.
My 24 Tundra Pro has a little over 3k miles too but bought in Oct 2023, at least made it 5 months injury free so far! Had a 2019 SR5 Premium 4Runner, it was bullet proof but wanted back into a Tundra as I missed the open bed.
2nd gen Tacoma and 5th gen 4 runner here. This is sad to see.
@@Nvp8985 the rise and fall of a great company.
This is why I will be holding on to my old Tacoma for at least a few years while they work out all the bugs and inadequacies. But I have faith in Toyota to work it out and fix it.
Taco bro, "Never leave home without a Colorado".
I made a comment some videos back on how nobody truly tests whether the Tacoma is even reliable or capable at all. I thought it would take at least a little more than 31 inch tires and a bit of snow to have a catastrophe...
They don't have to because all the toyota boys live in an echo chamber. Why is it the best? Because we say it is. Over and over. It's like a cult. And they will attack anyone who says otherwise.

New Toyotas are a gamble. My 2022 Camry had a mapp sensor failure at highway speed. Downshifted so here we almost left the highway. Faulkner Toyota said it was a rodent chew on the wires. No evidence of wires being chewed on. I suspect the only rodent under the hood was their technician. Excellent way to hide their failures. Charged me for there repair.

I'll take the broken TACO over the running Colorado anyway. GM recalls, cameras that apply brakes > nope. Blueberry is better than yellow on any truck.These guys are so impressed with the touch screen and button pushing.

Toyota are not some kind of indestructible force of god, despite what fanboys think. They DO break down and have issues just like any other brand.
To be fair it is a brand new design, there are bound to be issues

@@freedomisntfree_44 depends what you're comparing it to
If I compare our 4 Toyotas to GM/FORD...Toyota is light years ahead. I have owned Ford and GM..all junk.
And this is why half of us toyota guys were skeptical about the new tacomas. Seemed to emphasis tech and looks, which will take focus away from quality
After watching this, I'm keeping my 2020 taco trd offroad (manual) forever.
In my 2016 Tacoma I had it in 4L craw control. Switch back to 4H and heard a bang and could not take it out of 4H. Took it to the dealer and they found the transfer case actuator shorted and had to replace actuator in transfer case. The 2024 Tacoma seems to still have the same issue.
Andrey took it out from 4H just fine in this video.
That was the best hint I read so far. 👍🏼
Almost as if electronically controlled transfer cases aren't a great idea... 🤔
What'll it take for engineers to start removing some of the excessive electronics? An EMP event?!
Best Chevy commercial ever. GM couldn't have done it better.
That is what I was thinking. What made it so funny was the chevy had to save the day for the poor Taco.
Sadly, the GMs are on a "stop ship" for software issues so they ain't so hot either. Ford won't build anything so get the Nissan ! At least it's available...lol

You are a smart person. All these people making excuses for poor quality and praising the 4 cylinder turbo engines are shills and probably paid by Toyota. Trusting a chief engineer at Toyota telling you it’s better than the V6….lol….makes me laugh how dumb people are.

I think that they know what failed but don't want to be responsible for Toyota loosing sales. 😂 you can see that the front axle failed.
They snapped a cv shaft. Guarantee
I agree they either snapped the cv actually or it just popped out I've had that happen
I agree totally a CV and anyone who wheels IFS should know that. I lost some respect with this episode these guys talk about trucks for a living and they don't fully understand how IFS setups and open diffs work.
Came here looking for this comment. Anyone that has been off road for 3 seconds knows that was an axle shaft.
Personally I’m impressed that the TCS actually engaged the brake on the spinning side enough to snap the shaft on the traction side.
Dont put lockers in these on stock shafts 😂
You guys set the Internet on fire with that breakdown.
I've never seen so many comments under any of their videos like this ❕️
29:30 In order to use the 4WD system, you have to attend a dealership seminar and use a check list like an airline pilot does before take-off?
Tacoma fans saying it’s just a beta testing . Hilarious. 😅
. *"HEY"* ❗️❕️❗️
What you doing here 🤷🏼♀️

L😂L YEP Sucks 😞
Andre, hope you are ok. You fell pretty hard. The situation could have quickly spiralled really bad if your head hit the rock when you fell. Can’t help but comment that it wasn’t an emergency, even though it was a brand new truck. Take a break, clear your head, think things through. Metal can be fixed, people are harder to fix.
Was thinking the same thing. Mad Matt did recently did a video about this very thing.
That hurt. Didn't look like much but that hurt. That's why he asked that the camera operator to do a task..
Snapped a CV. Thats happens spinning wheels on IFS setups. That did snap really easy. No drive on the other front wheel because of the open front differential. The snapped side just spins, no power goes to the unbroken side. I've changed lots of CVS on the side side of trails that look just like that!
Neither wheel was getting power. Something in the front diff broke.
@@John_Redcorn_ that's how open diffs work. The wheel with the least resistance spins. The broken CV is the least resistance no power will go to the unbroken side.
Do you think this situation would be a QA issue from Toyota's end regarding CV, or pretty common across the aisle?
@@drill_fiend1097 that's hard to say there's no doubt it snapped easier than it should have. You don't want to spin your wheels when they are not getting traction but it didn't seem like he was on the gas too hard. Maybe the traction control system was braking the side that snapped. Whatever it was that was that caused it to snap, that is the easiest I've seen a CV break for sure. I would hesitate to condemn the CV build just yet because it could be the way the traction control is setup on a new to market rig.
Nope. It's the diff.
You've just convinced me to keep driving my 1984 Chevy K20 Scottsdale that I drove new off the lot.
Wow reminds me of losing my 4wd in my 2017 trailhawk but that had over 80k on it! The transfer case motor that shifts it into 4 low went out but it was still drivable. Glad you had lots of help out there!
Wow....that wasn't even out of the blocks really before it went. Modern Toyota selling product on the reputation of the old Toyota.
I have a 91 Toyota it is a piece of junk just like the new ones 🤣🤣🤣
That's why I will keep my 2023 TRD off Road , Manual for a Long time Thank you guys
Ya me too. 2020 TRD off road. Manual 4x4. My old uncle told me that I would appreciate manual one day out on the trail. 4Runner
I have a 2021 off road 6 speed manual. K&N intake and ov tune.
I've never anticipated a follow up vid so much! I gotta know what broke!
Tacobell: “People no buy Taco anymore 😞 “
"Early production model": At what number do you think is justification for a major part failure?
Nice to see the Chevy being “like a rock” for the Tacoma lol
Too bad GM can shut that truck down immediately by signal. GM is government motors.
@@ryanb8736Foil hat😂
Just hope your instrument cluster continues to turn on in your Colorado and doesn't put itself in limp mode or drain the battery when it tries to run an OTA update. 😅
@@ryanb8736the Tacoma has to follow all government regulations just like any other brand. This truck isn’t built in Japan and shipped over here like many European cars
@@ryanb8736 You do realize that Toyota can also do that, so can Ford, Nissan.... What's your point?
I bought me a Silverado Trail Boss 2023 almost bought the Colorado ZR2. Either way I'm happy with my new truck I've got 4300 miles on it now. Love TFL truck your reviews are real time .
Andre! Keey that Truck! You Saved the day again. :) Love seeing your adventures with that little truck you seem to enjoy. It's a keeper.
Favorite car until it leave you stranded.
Ford drivers favorite phrase
@@ReelNewwtbut ford does leave you stranded 😂😂
Just had my 2012 150k mile xterra pro4x in similar conditions while outside the Alabama Hills near Mt Whitney. Loaded with wife, dog and camping gear. Dug out the snow and ice in 4lo. Then drove home 5 hours back to San Diego. Ready for the next adventure 👍
Toyota should at least add a natural aspirated 6 cylinder to the lineup.
Man, these videos are really making me appreciate my PRO-4x
Hell, my 2009 Frontier SV has gone through way more without falling apart.
And this is exactly why I was thinking of buying a new Pro4X over the Tacoma. Finally sat in over at the car show and freaking loved it
That's what I would get.
This video just immediately vindicates my choice to get my frontier. 2020 with the new v6 and 9 speed and 4x4. Zero issues in and off-road so far… 😂
Wish the Titan was staying in line-up.
Tacoma just had its Defender moment.
Let us not forget the F250 in 2017 that sent the cooling fan through the radiator.
@@spyder000069we forgot sorry bud 😢
@@spyder000069 I don't remember that
They drove to the dealer and had a tech accidently cut the harness?... or did Tommy repeatedly drive sidewalls in to a pointy rock?...
@@jeffreyjones3616The double punctures.
Looks like my 2022 nissan frontier sv went up in value after watching this video.
Sad to see a new truck fail so bad. It is also a good reminder why you should keep a pair of chains on any vehicle that might face winter conditions. I have managed similar icy conditions in my fwd golf 3 with cheap chains.
I'm pretty happy with my 2023 Colorado Trailboss purchase.......oh, and mine has cruise control! 😂😂
Still driving my 1998 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 4x4 that I bought new the only I replace was starter, radiator, timing belt, water pump brakes and rotors.
Ever take it off road?
I hope they do an update to this video and find out what happened and what got done to get it fixed.
As a 3rd Gen Tacoma owner that WORKS at a Toyota dealership I am hugely, enormously disappointed. I could almost cry! I was thinking maybe of jumping into a 4th gen! AGGH!!
Regardless of whether or not it broke because Roman didn't engage one mode before the other, it shouldn't be that easy to break it. I don't want a vehicle that will cost me huge if I get confused and push the wrong button.
They were talking about that in order to get it out of 4L in order to limp the truck back home. It had zero to do with the failure itself.
I don't see a "switchology" error. The software won't let you engage things incorrectly. He over stressed a part by spinning the wheels like he did. When one of them finally grabbed traction, that instant stoppage broke something. Still shouldn't have broke but I'll put money on all the spinning.
That had absolutely nothing to do with it...they should have edited that part out, because it makes ppl think that.
@@Dusdaddyalso, if he had stayed on the gas to begin with he would have made it up and most likely not broke anything...but stuff breaks when you wheel, especially in the snow.
@@leeward6762 Yep, he even said it earlier, "Apply the Nathan method"
That looks like a catastrophic design weakness. Goodbye, Tacoma, it was nice knowing you.
Pump them out and you wonder why Toyota is a cash cow building this poor quality! Where is there QC department? Did they go woke?
really? you must know what actually broke to say that; so what broke?
@@bear8046nothing should break like that at 3k miles
@@RorytheRoman😂😂 you are clueless
@@bear8046it broke the moment they moved the plant to MX. No problemo ese 😂
Thank you gentlemen for this video. Your efforts are appreciated.
Impressed at your recovery skills. Matt's Off Road would be impressed, I'm sure.
2nd gen tacoma owner here. I had a feeling the new ones were way to good to be true...
These guys are dumb as shit.
I went from a 2006 Tacoma 6 speed manual. To a 2015 automatic to a 21 6 speed manual. In my 21 I have a k&N intake and ov tune.
I am looking forward to the dealership finding out what’s wrong with Andrey. I was wondering about this for years. 😃
Dollar to donut, its a snapped halfshaft.
As a 2021 Taco owner I endorse this video... gawd the sound of the motor alone is bad enough.
"its so much better than the old one..."good luck with that
Looks like I'm settling for a '24 Frontier Pro-4x. Thanks TFL!!
Should be able to get several thousand off MSRP if that's what you want, since they're pretty uncompetitive and not selling well for Nissan at all.
@@thatoneotherotherguy Honestly, that is more of a selling point for me if it is easier on the wallet, easier to maintain (NA V6 Baybeeeeeee!), more widely available and still retains the reliability of the last gen. I want a midsize truck that acts like a midsize truck, not a midsize truck that acts like a turbo 4 banger sedan on icy uneven surfaces.
@@HotSneks whatever floats your boat. I'm sure the new Tacoma will continue to prove more reliable than the ancient Frontier platform (2005) that got a new body, newer V6 and a pretty questionable 9-speed automatic transmission. Best of luck with the Nissan's reliability and depreciation if you go that route. I've got a V6 better than the old Tacoma or Nissan V6's, the Toyota 4.0L in my '23 4Runner, and I'd rather have the new Toyota 4cyl, as it makes way more torque way lower than any of these N/A 6cyls, and guzzles a lot less fuel doing so.
@@thatoneotherotherguy So because you(and a bunch of other people here) seem to put your faith in a brand for some weird arbitrary reason, here's some common sense for you.
As a general rule of thumb, any car or truck that uses forced induction by either exhaust gasses (turbo) or belt driven (supercharger) is going to run hotter. Heat will always play a role in an engine life cycle. Engineers have constantly improved on this but the fact of the matter is, anything that uses forced induction is just going to have a shorter lifespan because of heat. You can not increase the load of an engine and expect it to last as long especially when it's doing things like towing or even harder wheeling. It boils down to physics, "the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long."
Take the new V6 Turbo in the Tundra for example and look at how many people have reported their truck grenading before 40k miles. What do you think is going to happen to the new turbocharged I-4s in the Tacomas?
Funny how Tacomas (previous gen mind you) and Tundras have both gotten recalls the past week, right? Then then this happens on one of the more popular truck enthusiast channels and people like you seem to deny it. 🤷♀
I've been driving Frontiers since 2008. First a 2000 4x4 and now my 2009 SV 4x4. They've never let me down on off-road trails. I say let the toyota fans keep overpaying for their trucks. My only complaint about the Nissan being less popular is the smaller amount of aftermarket upgrades available.
I am a big fan of Toyota. However, i do not like a turbo on a gas engine. Unlike a diesel, they are not built heavy enough for a turbo. It will shorten the life of the engine. They need to keep the option of normally aspirated engines, especially for people who want to tow.
Also the direct injection added strain.
But, hear me out...what if they built the gas engine for a turbo? Fuel type doesn't dictate how the engine is built
They have to turbo it because its a gutless 4 cylinder without it.
I dont like turbo's either, but so many of you have no idea wtf u are talking about. The F150 I had for awhile, had a CGI block, forged pistons and water cooled manifolds. Literally....built like a diesel to handle high output. Chevy and Toyota followed them with their turbo truck motors.
Wow, very surprising to see! Would love to know what broke. Can’t wait to see the update video.
Was very surprised to see Nathan and Alex roll up in a Ford Bronco sport. Where is the Ineos Grenadier? Waiting for more videos on that vehicle.
You can find videos here illustrating how to change the oil in your xfer case where it was neglected for so many miles, on many different vehicles, when they drain the old, it comes out silver. Yet, they had no prior problems with the xfer case.
Can't wait to see follow-up to this and see what the issue is. 2024 Taco on my radar for new truck. Jury is still out.
You can very clearly see the front wheels attempting to apply the brakes in the video. That clamping down and letting go repeatedly can generate a lot of friction and heat. My guess is the front drive shaft or transfer case had a component break as a result of essentially a repeated impact shock to it. Should be covered under warranty for you guys. Doubt an average joe would be able to get it covered
Yeah, these "off road modes" are all useless trash. No one that know how to drive off road uses them. Budgets need to be reallocated to beefier components
He locked the Diff. When the diff is locked Trac control is disabled......
But that is exactly what it’s supposed to be designed to do. They did not break this truck. It is a fluke accident or a very weak component. Time will tell.
@@Dusdaddy when did he lock the diff? He mentioned turning off crawl control, but not traction control. Either way, you can see the front wheels spinning, then stopping, then spinning again repeatedly. At full throttle, there's a lot of torque and load being applied to components. Not letting them move is going to eventually lead to something breaking, and that's on any vehicle, not just toyotas
@brandontuckett767 "they did not break this truck" , "that's what bits supposed to do". Lol, whut? Are you handicapped?
I bent my axel on my 23 Tundra Platinum. The trucks never seen a dirt road even... Cost me $2300 at 2,000 miles. Dealer said it was from impact. The trucks literally went through nothing.
Great video so glad this was recorded
