I bought a 2022 SR this year. Bare bones with the utility package and 4-cylinder and added the 4x4. Getting a brand new truck with 4x4 for a 29k MSRP is a smoking deal.
@@blakeseckinger3280 Picked mine up at Street Toyota in Amarillo Texas. I live in Kansas City but I flew out there and drove it back. Its an odd trim combo, most 4x4 have the V6 but you can order them without it. Between that and the utility package it saves 4-5k
I got a question for you Jordan. Do you know if these basic SR Tacoma's have the same suspension or shock set up as the normal sized SR5? Obviously the trd and off road models have heavy duty suspension, but I was wondering if these sx models have a decent spec grade suspension as well? Thanks
@@nocturnalme3549 The suspension on the SR is the same as the SR5 for the Tacoma. The SR5 only adds fogs, TPMS, intermittent wipers, keyless entry (I added that after market for $199) and a nicer interface (Toyota’s entune) and then some minor cosmetic upgrades (the wheels and front bumper painted) For me it wasn’t worth the extra $3k cause I use it as a work truck.
@@nocturnalme3549 Also worth noting is the 4x4 paired with only the 4-cylinder is only offered on the access cab configuration in the SR and SR5 trims. Incredibly uncommon, but does save another $3k if you don’t need the V-6 (3500 vs 7000 towing)
I actually like it, you can still get the V6 and 4x4 with it. I love the manual car seats and a actual key. Less stuff to break and those things last forever.
Absolutely. Just picked up a Bearded Taco SR with Utility Package. Exactly what I needed at MSRP- cheapest Tacoma in the entire state. It’s a blank canvas and I love the black fenders and bumper. Who needs a back seat you can’t use anyway?
Hahaha bearded I seriously haven’t heard that one. But I was looking at the white one today and I see exactly what you mean lol. I put in a order or the one with the back seat only and only because it gives me a painted from bumper, tinted slider rear window and I also like for some reason the ability to put my lunch bag on the rear seat so it’s not on the floor.
This is all the truck you need. A V6 and 4x4 with a 6ft bed. All the higher trims with all of the gadgets and gizmos are such a waste of money. So you see grown "men" daily driving $50k+ trucks and SUVs that never hit the trails. And get a Prius or a sedan if you need a reliable daily driver that doesn't consume gallons and gallons of gas. $40k for a TRD Off Road Tacoma is ridiculous. Yes, you'll miss MTS and Crawl control but non-TRD Off Road is capable of 90% of most scenarios. A set of Bilstein 5100s with a front 2" lift and rear 1" lift is $460. By going with a SR/SR5, the money you save can potentially get you a 2nd gen Prius. You might get lucky a find a well taken care of Prius for $5-$6K. Win/win.
I have a 2017 tacoma with the a 4cyl paired to a 5 speed transmission knock wood only been in the shop for maintenance oil change tire rotations and that sort of thing drives great very smooth for the bottom of the line tires shocks people usually complain about lack of power but I don't carry much in mine so when I'm getting on the highway I stay in a lower gear on the ramp once it builds up speed it will really move performs nice alot of features for a stripped down truck power mirrors windows cruise control a/c heated mirrors intermittent whippers and its a four wheel drive witch performs great sometimes I go to and empty parking lot at night in a snow storm turn off the stability control and play around a little drifting even then it stays pretty stable it really connects to the road
Mine’s an 18 4x4 V6 with a 2 inch lift. They’re definitely the best option. On paper they’re considered a base model to insurance, so also think about that.
That was the greatest Jason Statham impersonation ever done, and if my eyes were closed I would have thought it was actually him. It would be great if you could also do Liam Neeson, another actor with the same portfolio of movies lately. My local Toyota dealer notified me yesterday that my 2022 Tacoma SR should arrive today. They had nothing on the lot but two SR models in the pipeline so I got dibs on one. It has the utility package which deletes the rear seats which I want, but it also blacks out certain features like the handles and bumper, etc. The only thing I really dislike is that the lower section under the grill is also black which really makes it look like a company work truck. I will probably have that painted or replaced as soon as possible. This will be my first Toyota since I'm a Honda guy, and the only truck I ever had was a 1984 Ford Ranger. I think if I really like the Tacoma I just might order an upgraded version in the future since I wouldn't lose much selling or trading this one.
They do make the work truck/ base model nicer because if a person uses this for work as a company truck then perhaps they will by the sr5 or TRD as there personal vehicle.
That's a nice truck having the V-6 4 wheel drive & everything but you could get the 4-door "off-road" basic 📦 for about 4,000 more dollars seems like it would be 💰 well spent. Both VERY nice imo
Has anyone actually measured how slow balls truly are? Because if we're talking human ones, probably as fast as someone can run which isn't very fast. But if we're talking soccer balls you can kick those and they can go pretty fast.
a lot of guys arent impressed with the V6 either. The i4 is the more reliable engine, which is all I care about. I had an 88 Nissan hardbody 4x4 4 banger, that thing ran forever. Toyota is still doing it.
I’ve watched all videos I can find on this sx and after a few months ended up getting the exact same one yesterday and love it so far. Has just enough of what I like. I will be tinting the windows and adding the bed lights. I’m glad I went through with it. Ps it’s funny how just from doing your comedy sketch rubbed people the wrong way and disregard the whole video solely on that. Smh 🤦🏽♂️. Great video man! 👍🏽
Great informative video Isaac! I would have the 4 cylinder version. That would more than meet my needs! Either the access or double cab. Belated Happy Thanksgiving! Have a Blessed Christmas as well! Mark in Iowa.
Pros- bullet proof na 4 cylinder. Cons- no 4wd version available, not very efficient when compared to v6. Wanted a 4 cylinder version with 4 wheel drive as I don't tow much and when I do it would be about 2k pounds. I also have more faith in the 4 cylinder vs the 6 which is more complicated and that the 4 has been around for a long time.
@@RobertWilson-rr9ow Hey thank You for taking the time to reply to me. Yeah that is a nice package. I was misinformed about the 4 cylinder version not having 4wd. If I were to order one it would be that package. Great truck. Enjoy your weekend.
It's been over a year since I've had my Tacoma SR5 and I adore it. Since it's a Toyota, it's been completely reliable. It could use a better transmission since the shifts are long and high in the rev range but it doesn't affect me most of the time. What I can legitimately complain about is the lack of power. This truck is gutless off the line. I literally get tailgated when accelerating from a stop because it doesn't get up to speed in a timely manner. It needs more gears and at least 20-30 more horsepower. However, since this transmission has been used for 16 years, it has been very reliable. What you sacrifice in power you make up for in reliability. That's what makes me enjoy this truck more than anything. I do have a Maverick on order but if the order falls through or if it doesn't come in good time, I'm seriously considering another Tacoma with a few more options. 4WD has to be one of them. Also, it would be nice to get the TRD Sport trim like I originally intended. But with the hot market, short supply and high demand and with the dealer markups that come with it, I'm afraid it'll be too unaffordable. I'm not sure what to do yet.
@@jaymoar3561 How do other manufacturers manage to do this successfully without negatively impacting reliability? Does that also explain why the tech is 10 years old? Seems like the Toyota enthusiasts make lots of excuses for supporting a company that sells them woefully outdated products in exchange for perceived reliability.
@@Kenneybrock You consider a vehicle that still works from 2017-2018 reliable? That’s when they started to use these 10 speed transmissions. I have Toyotas over 20 years old with over 300k miles and they run like new. So wait until they get that old before you call them reliable. It’s commons sense less parts equals less stuff to break.
@@jaymoar3561 Essentially, your response is “We won’t know for sure if the new transmissions are as reliable as the prior transmissions for another 15 years”? (I’ll take my chances) 1) This isn’t relevant for the vast majority of people who don’t keep their vehicles for 10 years or more. 2) In order for this to be a benefit, Toyota drivers have to endure decades of higher fuel costs due to lower MPG averages. 3) Who wants to drive a vehicle for 20 years when it felt like it was 10 years old brand new? Can you imagine how outdated this will feel in 5, 10 or 15 years?
Last year I went in and bought a brand new 2021 Corolla, I payed it off in 9 months! But I need a back up car for my deliver job, so I went to buy another new Corolla a 2022! I wasnt even planning buying a truck, I still own my 02 Silverado I bought new and it still looks new anyways I ended up buying a new 2022 Tacoma base model in that darker metallic grey for 4K more than a Corolla LE! I got lucky they just got it in with a white and a black one, because it’s almost impossible to buy a brand new vehicle and taking it home that day, now you have to get on a waiting list and wait for months! I payed 26 something for it and I’ve seen the same truck but a 2020 with 56k miles for 37k! Used vehicles are up 40%! My truck will be lucky to get 1k miles this year, I know the resale will be rock solid! It’s a investment to me!
@hateVegas dude I’m going from a 09 Corolla to a Tacoma. Anything is going to have better acceleration than that. And I want something new. My fathers got an 18 2.7 4x4 (not a waste of a truck like any 2wd is), and he loves the thing. I’ve got a couple of friends with 3rd gens who also love them and haven’t had any issues. The transmissions learn, so driving them once or twice won’t give you the real experience. You gotta drive them a couple thousand miles for them to learn your driving style. The 2015s are amazing too, but I’m not paying a price similar to a new truck for one that’s 7 years old at this point, reliable as hell or not. If I decide the new Tacoma is too unreliable (which I doubt it would be) I’ll save up for a 4Runner
@hateVegas the 4runner has the same 4.0 as the old Tacoma’s dumbass. And again, going from a tiny corolla, so anything is bigger and less cramped. And hell no I’d like something reliable, so Ford and gm are both out. These 3rd gens are pretty reliable, and if they aren’t as reliable as I’d like them, the 4runner is the exact same engine and drivetrain as your precious 2nd Gen fake truck
@hateVegas I’ve read up on them. The only concern I have is the transmission, but there’s plenty of people saying they don’t have an issue, so I’m thinking about risking it. If I don’t, I will get a nice 4runner, which is the exact same mechanically as the 2nd Gen you so boast about. And I’ve driven a 4runner before. Compared to my corolla, is like a mansion
I have the 2021 SR V6, double cab 4x4! Excellent truck! It’s so dumb to get a TRD and they upgrade the tires, rims and lift! Does ISIS use fancy wheels or lifts?
Really considering going with the SX. Wanting the 6cyl 4x4 even though I don’t do much hauling,towing I would just like to know I have the extra little power if needed. Also been reading about how nearly indestructible the 4cyl are so not sure which way to go
I love my 4cl and she dose well off road but if you plan on doing some serious over landing id go with the V6 I just wanna throw a soft topper a lift and 33s and she ready
Enjoyed this video, good thoughts and info. The demo of the suicide doors is exactly what I was looking for. Then surprise, I loved it when you confessed Christ out of nowhere, the way it should be. You're damn right. 20 years of my life in atheism, thought I knew it all. If one seeks answers we find that Jesus is who He says He is. Best of luck with this channel!
I don't need Toyota to install a device that tells me that I'm going out of my lane. It's because I'm the one that is driving the car or truck and the bells and whistles that tells me something that has nothing to do with the actual driving of the car or truck. I don't need it and I will remove it.
Automatic transmission is ok if you want an automatic transmission. I want a manual transmission. I might want a manual transmission with a V6 engine. That's what I want. Lunchbox Larry out
I recently ordered the 2022 Tacoma SX in white just like your review vehicle. I have the 2.7l 4 cyl. in my old 2012 Tacoma, and it is fine with the manual transmission, but I found it lacking with an automatic tranny, so I ordered it with the 6 cyl. The 4 cyl. didn't offer enough response from the foot pedal for me, and I only felt acceleration after a downshift. I really wanted the 4 cyl. as it is a beast for reliability, and durability, but the truck has to satisfy my need for being responsive, and reacting immediately to my input.
It's standard as a safety feature across the board now, I worked in-car electronics for five years and a full in-car backup camera install with everything is about $250, sorry to burst your bubble.
hi ive just traded my rav 4 at dealership for the use 2020 tacoma i was wondering is that normal that when u start the engine the indicator light for the headlights always on on the dash?
I can’t be the only one who is unhappy with their Tacoma. I’ve had mine for 2 years now and I had an f150 for a week and it was so much more comfortable and convienent than my Tacoma is. But yea reliability I guess….
I love my Taco, but trust me I have my off days where I wonder about owning another truck. I've had issues, it's not perfect but yeah I'm praying that it's more reliable long-term than other contemporary trucks.
The Tacoma shines the brightest when it’s used and viewed as a truck. If you are just tooling it around as a daily, it’s rough edges start to show more and more. My 2021 Carolla hatchback was totaled and all the dealer had on the lot where Camry’s, base Corolla sedans and one 2021 Tacoma v6 SX access cab in black. The residual is so high on the Tacoma that I could lease it for about the same as a 23k Corolla. Incredible. Driving a truck for the first time in my life sure is a treat but can be annoying if you drive on shitty pavement. Otherwise it’s quieter than the Carolla which was astounding and it just feels tough given it’s weight. I put on 265 Michelins defender XLT tires with white lettering and this thing is grippy and silent below 65mph. Wind noise is louder than tire noise. My biggest complaint is the gas mileage when you don’t drive like a senior citizen. I am spending much more with gas every month than I accounted for. Would of rather spent more for a lease that was more efficient. Live and learn.
The Toyota fanboys have to use lots of words to dance around the "outdated" nature of these trucks. A six speed transmission on a 2021 with tech that looks like something out of a 2010, more dead buttons than functioning buttons and a map button that does nothing at all. I get that this vehicle has the perception of long term reliability, but who wants to drive this thing for 10 years when it felt it was 10 years old brand new? With domestic products like the F150 lasting for a couple hundred thousand miles, somedayToyota won't be able to continue coasting by on their perceived reliability. Eventually, even their biggest fan boys will start demanding more.
You can't compare a Taco to an F-150, it's apples to oranges. This generation of Tacoma was built in 2016 with nearly new parts, only sharing some buttons with the outgoing models. By now it does feel a little older with some functionality I of course have to admit. But the current Ford Ranger is literally built on a platform from 2012, if you wanna talk about outdated, that's the truck. Heck, the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado are also long overdue for a mid-cycle refresh too. Based on the new Tundra I am confident the next generation of Tacoma will knock it out of the park.
@@AlphaShark I'm hella confused by what a base model actually is. I though that was the SR 4x2 barebones. that starts at like 26k (but magically turns into 30k at the dealer) I tried looking at these options and that truck just flies into the 35+ range./
@@angertone213 This is the lowest available trim, an SR. But with an SX appearance package which is considered slightly sportier, and 4X4 w/ V6 which makes it like $33k.

@hateVegas I still don’t count anything that’s not 4wd a truck. I count it as a glorified car
ECT- Electronically Controlled Transmission. Great video Isaac. 1 Peter 1: 7-9
I’m personally a fan of the Timberland boots.
They’re actually from Walmart, way cheaper than Timbs!
Another great video my brother! God bless! 🙏🏼🤙🏼😊🫡
You can save $1700 if you option out the back seat and replace it with just compartments in the back.
yes 1715 I believe
You're forced to get the 4 cylinder however.
Got 2021 SR 4Cyl 2.7 2WD for 27k with 9k miles on it used. Good deal or nah? What you guys think.
I’m about to buy a 2023 SR 2.7 2wd brand new for $28k
@@jwil07 that's good to see prices coming down a bit.
Edit: mine also came with tonneau cover, floor mats, and side bars*
Sounds pretty standard, you definitely didn’t get ripped off. These things hold value like crazy
I have the 2021 SR V6, double cab 4x4! Excellent truck! It’s so dumb to get a TRD and they upgrade the tires, rims and lift! Does ISIS use fancy wheels or lifts?
You had me in the first half.
Nice truck
Very Helpful thanks. We are picking up a 2022 SR V6 today after much prayer. We are hoping to upgrade the wheels
Get the 2.7L Better on gas with the Bideninflation thing.
Great review keep up the good work
Good video, God bless you Isaac. Greetings from Houston TX
Really considering going with the SX. Wanting the 6cyl 4x4 even though I don’t do much hauling,towing I would just like to know I have the extra little power if needed. Also been reading about how nearly indestructible the 4cyl are so not sure which way to go
I love my 4cl and she dose well off road but if you plan on doing some serious over landing id go with the V6
I just wanna throw a soft topper a lift and 33s and she ready

Made in Mexico??
Enjoyed this video, good thoughts and info. The demo of the suicide doors is exactly what I was looking for. Then surprise, I loved it when you confessed Christ out of nowhere, the way it should be. You're damn right. 20 years of my life in atheism, thought I knew it all. If one seeks answers we find that Jesus is who He says He is. Best of luck with this channel!
Crazy how the 4cyl only has 159 HP. It should have at least 190 in these modern times..
2022 tacoma 4×2 SR 🤣 I don't know if I bought the wrong one. I usually commute to get off work.
I don't need Toyota to install a device that tells me that I'm going out of my lane. It's because I'm the one that is driving the car or truck and the bells and whistles that tells me something that has nothing to do with the actual driving of the car or truck. I don't need it and I will remove it.
It has an off button. Relax.
Lmfao you always make me laugh 😂
Not sure why base model over 30k? Not sure if it worth the price or Sales manager want more bonus
am
am i the only one that would prefer a single dimm radio?
Made me laugh so I subscribed.
Want to find out which to get? Take the 4 and 6 up a mountain! You find out which is pulling better
Automatic transmission is ok if you want an automatic transmission. I want a manual transmission. I might want a manual transmission with a V6 engine. That's what I want. Lunchbox Larry out
Yikes! Over 30k?
So you know how to remove the sos button. If the shit hits the fan I’m not trying to be tracked
Funny Isaac. Great review!
I recently ordered the 2022 Tacoma SX in white just like your review vehicle. I have the 2.7l 4 cyl. in my old 2012 Tacoma, and it is fine with the manual transmission, but I found it lacking with an automatic tranny, so I ordered it with the 6 cyl. The 4 cyl. didn't offer enough response from the foot pedal for me, and I only felt acceleration after a downshift. I really wanted the 4 cyl. as it is a beast for reliability, and durability, but the truck has to satisfy my need for being responsive, and reacting immediately to my input.
How much did you pay for it?
@@armandocampos857 $36,211... That's with about every option you can get with this package.
Is it possible to get this with manual transmission with the 6 in SR ? Is that what you got a manual again ?
@@jjooeegg1 you can only get manual now on TRD V6 models. Sucks.36k should buy a TRD.

Nice job brother..
That was a pretty good Kasin Stathum
Good news is, after the 2 minute mark you won’t want to kill ourself anymore
For a 15 minute video that means like 80% is good! I’ll take a B-
Get the 2.7L Better on gas with the Bideninflation thing.
Does it come In manual transmission with a 6 cylinder in the SR SR 5 or SRX ? Thanks
Manual I believe is only an option on the TRD trims, I’ve never seen an SR or SR5 with a manual. Or I probably would’ve gotten that myself 😂
They stopped offering manual on 2019 for 4 cylinder. You have to get a TRD. Dumb.
@@djkenny1202 At some point in your life, you had to ask someone for some information too. And I bet you wouldn't appreciate if they called you dumb.
@@AlphaShark you are not dumb, its dumb they stopped offering a manual. Sorry if I was Unclear :)
I really don’t need a backup camera. I’m sure it would shave off a few thousand if they didn’t have thag
It's standard as a safety feature across the board now, I worked in-car electronics for five years and a full in-car backup camera install with everything is about $250, sorry to burst your bubble.
@@AlphaShark glad to be informed
That intro was so random 😂
Yup welcome to my channel
@@AlphaShark The impersonation was pretty spot on! keep the videos rollin!
So there’s no tire pressure gauge period on the SR?
The app has the tire pressure on it. Seems odd but wtf
hi ive just traded my rav 4 at dealership for the use 2020 tacoma i was wondering is that normal that when u start the engine the indicator light for the headlights always on on the dash?
The headlights indicator just means your headlights are turned on.
I can’t be the only one who is unhappy with their Tacoma. I’ve had mine for 2 years now and I had an f150 for a week and it was so much more comfortable and convienent than my Tacoma is. But yea reliability I guess….
I love my Taco, but trust me I have my off days where I wonder about owning another truck. I've had issues, it's not perfect but yeah I'm praying that it's more reliable long-term than other contemporary trucks.
Your ford should be fine. I had a 2004 xlt 4.6 V-8 4x4 it had 248,600 miles on it without any problems before I sold it.
The Tacoma shines the brightest when it’s used and viewed as a truck. If you are just tooling it around as a daily, it’s rough edges start to show more and more. My 2021 Carolla hatchback was totaled and all the dealer had on the lot where Camry’s, base Corolla sedans and one 2021 Tacoma v6 SX access cab in black. The residual is so high on the Tacoma that I could lease it for about the same as a 23k Corolla. Incredible. Driving a truck for the first time in my life sure is a treat but can be annoying if you drive on shitty pavement. Otherwise it’s quieter than the Carolla which was astounding and it just feels tough given it’s weight. I put on 265 Michelins defender XLT tires with white lettering and this thing is grippy and silent below 65mph. Wind noise is louder than tire noise. My biggest complaint is the gas mileage when you don’t drive like a senior citizen. I am spending much more with gas every month than I accounted for. Would of rather spent more for a lease that was more efficient. Live and learn.
what was the price on this truck, im trying to see what tacoma i can get with having 25000 cash buy
This is in the ballpark of $32,000 for this particular one.
thanks, not bad at all!
What would Jesus drive? Base or limited?
Hint: He walked a lot and rode donkeys when he could 😂😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍
The Toyota fanboys have to use lots of words to dance around the "outdated" nature of these trucks.
A six speed transmission on a 2021 with tech that looks like something out of a 2010, more dead buttons than functioning buttons and a map button that does nothing at all. I get that this vehicle has the perception of long term reliability, but who wants to drive this thing for 10 years when it felt it was 10 years old brand new?
With domestic products like the F150 lasting for a couple hundred thousand miles, somedayToyota won't be able to continue coasting by on their perceived reliability.
Eventually, even their biggest fan boys will start demanding more.
You can't compare a Taco to an F-150, it's apples to oranges. This generation of Tacoma was built in 2016 with nearly new parts, only sharing some buttons with the outgoing models. By now it does feel a little older with some functionality I of course have to admit. But the current Ford Ranger is literally built on a platform from 2012, if you wanna talk about outdated, that's the truck. Heck, the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado are also long overdue for a mid-cycle refresh too. Based on the new Tundra I am confident the next generation of Tacoma will knock it out of the park.
So anyway the bad guys wronged my family in some way it doesn’t really matter it’s just an excuse so I can beat them up for two hours 🤣
Very likeable guy
Thank you
34k couple more and you got a double cab sr5
I paid that much for a 2020 sr5 double cab back in July 2020. Prices have gone up a bit.
Not base model... lol
base model with 4wd and a V6... come on man lol
It’s an available option on the base model haha
@@AlphaShark I'm hella confused by what a base model actually is. I though that was the SR 4x2 barebones. that starts at like 26k (but magically turns into 30k at the dealer) I tried looking at these options and that truck just flies into the 35+ range./
@@angertone213 This is the lowest available trim, an SR. But with an SX appearance package which is considered slightly sportier, and 4X4 w/ V6 which makes it like $33k. Yes, the lowest option is 4x2 I4 and no SX package but this is still considered a base model truck, just with some option boxes checked.
SX os simply an appearance package.
SR can be 4 cylinder or V6, same with SX package.
@@AlphaShark is 33k for a 2022 4x4 4cyl base with access cab around the ball park price? I’ve been asking around my town
If it’s an SX it’s not a base model.
It is the base model, but with a package, it's not the lowest trim, but it is the base model.
Couldn’t get through this with the stupid statham crap
That’s okay! It’s not for everyone
Stopped watching when you started doing a comedy skit.
Hey that's okay! My style isn't for everyone.
