My issue is: yes, you're paying for a rugged truck and MOST people dont mind the sound system. However, another truck in a similar price range using an alpine or bose system will blow this out of the water
May not be a truck, but I have a 2024 Nissan Z with the upgraded Bose system with subwoofer. Sold my Ford with the 12 speaker Sony system with two 12 inch woofers. The JBL in my new Tacoma blows the Z out of the water, and the Ford. If the Tacoma could hit into the sub bass with clarity it'd be damn near perfect. I enjoy it's clarity. Warmth and really good lows for a stock system, I am actually really impressed, and it plays relatively loud without any fatigue, only thing I've done is cranked the bass up on the system and it does really well
My 2014 jbl sound system is incredibly poor in sound quality. Coupled with toyotas failure to sufficiently address squeaks and rattles, the stereo makes the situation much worse. As far as the new Tundra goes, I've heard nothing good. It's a shame, but no surprise that jbl took no pride in the tuning of this stereo especially with the superior offerings by bose in the gmc and the b&o in the ford's. Another failure for toyota.
I have a 2024 TRD Sport with the JBL system. It's OK, nothing special. Sound seems to be heavily weighted towards the front dash. I did the 'sound leveler' thing, but it didn't seem to improve much. If this didn't comes as a pkg money wise, I'd rather take it to a dedicated vehicle sound dealer and let them do their thing.
I have the Sport and the front removable, takes over everything but the subwoofer. If I could have opted out of the JBL system I would have and spent the money at a car audio business. Probably would have speakers put in the rear headrests.
Forget about to sound I see that it still tight in that back seat area. I can imagine with those front seat styles it's probably a knee killer back there.
On my 24 Tacoma TRD Sport with the JBL system and the EQ all at the factory position has the a rattle/vibration on the passenger side door panel. The rattle/vibration comes from the right behind part on the panel that says TRD. No its not me putting the radio too loud, so its not that. Anyone else have that problem? Haven't taken it to the dealer yet.
This looks promising…but Toyota and JBL should be embarrassed by the last Generation Tacoma JBL sound system…my 21 Tacoma system loses power to the audio and heat soaks after about 20 min of play…
Doesn’t supurise me, have you tried bringing it to the dealer and seeing what they say. But what i would do is just take it all out and just upgrade it, will sound leagues better with 2 or 1 smaller sub.
@@turn6707 oh believe me, I tried that…they only swapped out the head unit which wasn’t the issue…the amp heat soaks which powers all speakers and the small sub..it sounds good at first but then just tanks…also CarPlay sucks when talking to someone on phone…what system you get instead?
@@dms14 Honestly I would just upgrade the whole system, I did that to my 2nd gen with JBL, the stock jbl systems are garbage and just horrible Its unacceptable. For fitment the 2nd gens and 3rd gens are almost alike except the tweeter location. For recommendations I just went on RUclips and saw what other people did. I also used Crutchfield which helped with speaker size and I bought all of my speakers there because it came with all of the speaker brackets and wireing harness for the stereo. For my tweeters I used the Kicker KSC270 they are a big upgrade. Now for the 6x9 front door speakers I used Rockford Fosgate P1692. For the rear door speakers I used Rockford Fosgate R1675X2. Now for the subs in the back you could do to tacotunes and get 1 or 2 subs and a fosgate amp. It will sound 1000 times better then the single jbl woofer you will just have to run power and RCA. For the headunit should be "good" but if you want to upgrade you could good a good kenwood or sony (the one I have Xav ax 5600) unit off of crutchfield and they do sound good when talking on the phone. Also people on Tacomaworld could give good recommendations. My uncle and his 2023 3rd gen did about the same but did infinity and put a 8inch powered subwoofer in the back. He also sound deadended it which helped with road noise and speaker clairty which I did to and it helped.
Nevermind, looks like it supports the following; Playback of MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/ALAC/Ogg Vorbis... just doesnt go into much detail as to specifics of Bit Depth or Sampling rate.
JBL is just garbage Toyota should have something better. My parents had the Toyota Sequoia with JBL and Nissan Armada with Bose and the Bose beat the JBL by miles. My parents got rid of the Sequoia and kept the Armada since no one really used it.
I bought one a week ago and I am SO disappointed with this JBL system. It might be okay but my Nissan was AT LEAST twice as loud. This stereo was designed for old people elevator music. You can't hear the back at all and if you fade it to the back then the volume problem gets even worse. I spent over 50k for this truck and IMO the sound system is trash. Unnecessarily complicated and overall the stereo sounds like crap. Yeah I know it'll run for 300K miles. I still want my Nissan back. The stock stereo in my Nissan blows the shit off of this trash system. Why have 10 speakers when there's virtually no volume to it? Thanks Toyota. Now I'm going to have to spend another grand to get decent sound in my truck.
i notice my right ear doesn't sound as fuller as the left, even though im wearing HD6XX's, and i think that is because the audio is bouncing off of the left window, while the right side has an open space. very interesting experience, and proves that room acoustics and soundstage is real. it will cost more effort, but perhaps you can switch seats for different hearing POVs?
Rare in cars/trucks almost every modern halo motorcycle has one, that being said a v4 or crosplane I4 in a truck would be amazing (outside of a V8 but we have to be realistic) @@joes610
Portable speakers have become a scourge in wilderness areas, just like trashy boat stereos on lakes (much louder). I'd only use that for quiet podcasts, etc.
Hello. Great video! Love all your videos when it comes to audio reviews. Would you still think that the Bose Macan stereo that you gave an A to would be better than this? Thanks
I truly don't understand the cost 😮 $64K with a 4 cyl and it is only a few inches smaller than a full size truck ??? When is Toyota going to listen to the die hard Toyota owners and put the aluminum V8 in this basically full size truck , towing with a 4 cylinder is so difficult long distance , so no toys or trailers I guess if you are a city crawler it would be fun
Lmao they can't put V8 even in there full size Tundra because emissions standards are to strict. As V8's are a dieing breed thanks to government over reach. In 10 years you won't be able to even get ice engine
That speaker on the dash is the only reason I wouldn't want the 10 speaker JBL system? Some crack head is going to see it when it's parked and smash the window out to get it?

I live in Vegas and the dealer here said Pro wouldn’t be here for *several* months?!? How is this possible
How do you have a TRD? They told me at my local dealership in Southern California that they haven't been built or shipped out in the states?
Pretty sure he said it was a demo
It seems you were expecting too much from a Toyota tacoma that only cost $65K 😂
Nice video man nobody does in depth sound system tests really appreciate it.
i would buy that for $45,490
That’s what I paid for my 2023 TRD Off Road.
People that want quality stuff for cheap make me chuckle
@@Xencer people who think 46,000 is cheap are idiots
Buy once cry once

How does this compare to the Sequoia TRD Pro’s sound system? Given that you’ve now rated both a B?
Does it have a heads up display? Thought I seen on some videos
Toyota and good sound system are always a miss..for this price tag it should excellent

Absolutely. 3k aftermarket system will dance circles around the jbl. Not even close.
I have the Sport and the front removable, takes over everything but the subwoofer. If I could have opted out of the JBL system I would have and spent the money at a car audio business. Probably would have speakers put in the rear headrests.
I also have a 2024 TRD Sport with this same system. Very disappointed in the heavier sound from the front.
Forget about to sound I see that it still tight in that back seat area. I can imagine with those front seat styles it's probably a knee killer back there.
There has to be a compromise unless you want a shorter bed or impractically long wheelbase.
@@DefundTheFringesright but it’s so tight back there adults cannot sit in it even remotely comfortable

Hey Charlie. Could you please make a Ranking review of top 10 Sound system on SUVs? Pleeeze 🙂
I love JBL This truck is pretty sick. I love it.
Has anyone tested audio file format support, ie MP3, FLAC, Hi-Res Flac (24/192) , etc?
Nevermind, looks like it supports the following; Playback of MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV/FLAC/ALAC/Ogg Vorbis... just doesnt go into much detail as to specifics of Bit Depth or Sampling rate.
Are they out in the wild now? Expecting a call any day now then! Thanks for the upload!
Yes theyre available

Amazing, but 62k plus taxes and all? For a V4 turbo.......I mean....
Can you idiots stop saying V4? 😆 You don’t get an opinion about engines when you don’t know anything about them lol
I4 (inline 4), not V4. V4 engines are very rare, particularly in automobiles.
Rare in cars/trucks almost every modern halo motorcycle has one, that being said a v4 or crosplane I4 in a truck would be amazing (outside of a V8 but we have to be realistic) @@joes610
I’ve been preloading up on my “cope” to prepare myself for this purchase, I know it’s wrong, but I can’t stop myself

Hello. Great video! Love all your videos when it comes to audio reviews. Would you still think that the Bose Macan stereo that you gave an A to would be better than this? Thanks
I know it’s easier said than done but if your fortunate and have the money BUY WHAT YOU WANT
I got the TRD Sport with the same audio options. It sounds much better than the stereo system in my 23’ 4Runner.
Beautiful! I wonder if it does come with small screen.
This is the top grade comes fully loaded there's nothing to add or remove also it's 65k lol
I love Toyota’s 15speaker JBL sound system. It sounds great on the 4runner limited
Thanks a lot
did you drive that trd pro out here to so cal from Texas?? they are not available yet here in socal
I know this was a sound demo vid…but it woulda been cool to see real time mpg 🙃big fan of JBL sound systems. Simple design and quality sound.
What is that color called? I went to build and price and did bit have that color option.
感觉在皮卡车里面算是挺棒的，低频很好很有力量😀
Please show testing audio system Mitsubishi Pajero sport new.
The subwoofer seems to be not breathing properly
Great video!!
you better check ur numbers buddy 465HP yeah right
Got them switched
$64k?! F to the no am I getting one 😅
They make 325hp, 465 is a crazy number lmao.
Had torque and hp swapped
Wait…how did you get the truck?
I truly don't understand the cost 😮 $64K with a 4 cyl and it is only a few inches smaller than a full size truck ???
When is Toyota going to listen to the die hard Toyota owners and put the aluminum V8 in this basically full size truck , towing with a 4 cylinder is so difficult long distance , so no toys or trailers

I can see people losing it or people stealing it for fun. At every dealership they don’t leave them in the truck at all!
Just put something on to block the speaker view, a shirt or even a cheap window cover from Walmart
