- Thinking about a Tacoma?! In today's video, I discuss why I think (based off of what I've seen/know so far about the all-new Toyota Tacoma), why 2024 might just be the year to wait for! Let me know what you think in the comments section down below.
Thank you to Toyota for hosting me at SEMA 2023 this year! The Tacoma line-up was quite impressive, and I was excited to be present at the show!

If there is anything my 2016 gen 3 taught me, it is to wait for Toyota to dial it in. Traded the 16 in for a 21 in 21. I love how Toyota quickly responds to and resolves issues but I learned to have let the early adopters provide the data. Patience is key for enthusiasts on a budget. 😊
I really enjoy how you present the information in your videos. You have huge credibility because you do so much of your own wrenching.
Good video chloe this truck look amazing keep up the good content 💪😎 I enjoyed learning more about trucks on your channel
Thank's for a great video Chloe! I'm glad Toyota has listened to it's customers and made trucks that have more of what enthusiast what in their trucks and the fact that they offer some aftermarket support direct from Toyota. I like the x runner concept and haven't understood why Toyota stopped the mini truck segment from their lineup! pretty much all manufactures stopped making street/mini trucks when the scene was still growing with the likes of fast and furious movies. I think the TRD sport should have been this x runner all along, even making a track AWD setup would be awesome.
if toyota "listened to their customers" they would not have dropped the v6.
@@billw8476I agree that Toyota shouldn’t have dropped the V6. I don’t think the 4cyl turbo is gonna have the torque needed for climbing heavy terrain and the towing capacity is gonna suffer too. Toyota should’ve put the V6 in the TRD platforms and above trim levels, left the 4cyl as a optional engine. But the EPA keeps putting these ridiculous standards on new vehicles while trying to ban all ICE vehicles by mid 2030’s manufacturers are just doing what they’re forced to do! That’s why I’m glad to have bought my 2021 offroad out of my lease.
Great video much appreciated!!
Hello Choloe, nice review. I'm on my third Taco (3gen) and now think about the next platform. (Have only loved all my Taco's) Thoughts on Tunda?
Good video. Thanks for the info. I’ll be waiting a few years for the Land Cruiser. I wish you continued success. Keep grinding.
I like the XRunner. I hope that it makes to full production
I would trade my 2021 TRD Off Road for that X Runner any day hands down.😎
I bought a 2023 TRD Pro a week ago because I don't want anything to do with a 4 cylinder engine. And a new model year is going to be full of bugs with all the changes. For the sake of the truck they should have put a small V8 in it with 300hp. But I understand they are bending over backwards to comply with the government mpg and emission requirements. Sucks for the consumer to not have an option. With a V8, a trans that shifts correctly, and some useable bed tie down points, the Tacoma would be the perfect truck.
Why'd you buy a Tacoma with a V6 if a V8 is that important to you?
@@ScreamsPenguin The Tacoma fits in my garage. The Tundra no longer has a V8 option. Even a F150 only has one V8--and it is not the highest HP option. It's getting hard to find full size trucks with a V8. I can't buy what doesn't exist. I decided to replace my '00 Durango with a mid size truck and was disappointed that nothing in the category still had a V8. When I bought the Durango, most everything in that class had a V8 in it with a V6 being the cheap option if price was a concern. I hate this trend of more complicated smaller engines.
Sounds like you want a half ton
@slowfiveoh4986 1/2 ton won't fit in my garage, and most of them have a V6.
Why's your garage so small 🤔
I think this will be a good truck. Only time will tell. They at least kept the style somewhat familiar to the previous gen. Thanks for a great and informative video.
I’m a lube tech at a Toyota dealer. I’m glad I bought my 2022 Tacoma when I started here. I wouldn’t buy a 2024 since they discontinued the 6 cylinder engine in the production models. I wish they still had leaf springs on more than just the base model. I don’t like hybrids either. The high voltage battery is a ticking time bomb in that when it fails, it costs so much to replace it that insurance usually totals the vehicle. If I DID buy a 4th gen, I’d Coyote swap it as soon as the warranty expired.
It is a cool looking truck.
Hi Chloe does the 2024 trd pro have a manual option
That trailhunter color is 🔥🔥🔥
I hope they work the bugs out first and learned from the problems they’ve had with the new Tundra . I ❤ Toyota and this is pretty normal for most new designs to have issues after its release .
I’m just saying..
I do like the looks and what it has to offer on paper 👍🏻👊🏻
Man those do look really really cool
I'm debating whether to buy the off road or the trail blazer, both looks great, my main holding issue will be on the schedule MSRP.
Did they correct the horrible driving position, or do you still feel like you're sitting on the floor? Did they fix the gabage handling? The crappy brakes? Can you go up one tire size without rubbing everywhere?
The blue truck is very cool! I hope they decide to make it.
🤩wow look at all the colors. I want the orange one.🧡too cool😎👍
I tow a bit and often so I'd be finding a 2023 with the V6 before putting my chips on the Turbo4 they're pushing. I just don't think turbos will be reliable for a hard working engine long term.
When are we going to get the prices? My patient is limited 😂
Bought my 2021 with 23k miles after this video
I have a 23' sport 4x4 that I'm getting ready to trade for a 23' off road.....need the locker. But now these coming out are making me reconsider. I feel like theyll be marked up heavily, though
That X Runner is sweet
With the release of this 2024 it is possible a good drop on prices for used 3° gens ?
This year I purchased my first brand new truck! A 2023 Lunar Rock double cab, 6 speed manual of course. The Taco loves off-roading with super low gear ratio with the manual and it’s probably the most reliable truck you can buy right now. But I’ve got my Toyota dealer trying to get me a Trail Hunter 😅 The way I see it, if I can have Toyota factory warranty all the upgrades I would do anyways and I don’t have to spend hours building it, that’s just more time I’m not worrying about break downs on my dime, and more time using my truck for work in the patch or getting out into that sweet Alberta / BC backcountry ⛰️
But then many will say “ But sir that thing will break down immediately just like a Ford” Ya cool story man I just don’t think Toyota would put this turbo I4 in a Land Cruiser if it meant tarnishing, the reputation that it’s had for having legendary reliability, longevity and off-road cred…
How about the Toyota Stout have you seen one?
Love that new xrunner❤ any idea where i can find out more? Price maybe?
Unfortunately it’s just a concept for now!
How's that transmission?!?!?!???
I wonder if the new x-runner will be AWD?
It's a beautiful looking truck. I wanna drive one!
Looks cool. I'm either buying a trail hunter, or a new lexus gx550 Overtrail.
The TRD Jon cameo lol
Yes … I’ve been waiting. But an insider I met at SEMA told me to wait 2 weeks. It was a pleasure to have met you @cloe Kuo
Looks awesome, unfortunately unless they sell it with a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine that’s a no for me but I love the look.
Yes, you are making a bold statement but to diverse, Toyota is surely stretching their hands out with all these different types of Tacomas. Some of the amenities are a welcome upgrade especially within the frame department, but the old aspirated engine has me cause it’s tried & true. Plus what you do/ did with your current Tacoma is a wonderful thing to see and review. I know the government, EPA or whatever wants things to change but with all these changes comes increased Benjamins.
If it would be all wheel drive, I'm in. Killer looking truck 🤙
Seems much better than cyberpunk truck!
they should have the V6 Twin Turbo option for the TRD Off Road and TRD Pro
They probably holding the v6 twin turbo for the 2026 because 2025 only be available on the xrunner just trying to push more sells for the xrunner
@@JayR305TheChosenOnethis was my thought too
Outstanding
I'm always skeptical about new engines. The V6 has been a mainstay .. the new 4 cyl with turbo's .. I'll wait and see. Does this require premium fuel like most other turbos?
I don’t believe it will require premium fuel
I had the same engine in my 2022 Lexus NX350.It does require premium fuel.@@ChloeKuo
I like that it seems more modular and swappable with a nod to the taco community, and that you can finance some of the ARB and TRD accessories with the truck under warranty. As long as the turbo is reliable, I'm in
Same here. I actually asked the engineer about his thoughts on the new 4 cylinder turbo reliability and he told me they've put them on the dynos for 150k+ miles with no issues. I don't know much more when it comes to the reliability of the engine (seems like we'll have to wait a few years), but I doubt Toyota would overlook that in the new design!
@ChloeKuo yeah, I tend to have more faith in Toyota than others when it comes to vetting new platforms and engines.
If you finance mods you can’t afford them
@@alexs825 thanks dad
thanks Chloe. The X Runner sure is a sweet lookin truck
I really hope that you would upgrade to the 2024 model so you can do a thorough review. I really want to buy one but I wanted to wait for your personal experience on the new model :)
I do not like the way these trucks look, but Chloe looks FABULOUS! ❤ 😊
I love my 21 TRD Sport and its V6 engine. No 4 cyl for me thank you. The turbo will just help the engine wear out faster.
Has anyone ordered off extreme terrain for parts?! Or know if the website is any good?
Currently waiting on my 2023 Tacoma TRD Offroad, last year for the V6 replacing my 2012 TRD Off-road
I hope you test drove one first. After driving a 2nd and 3rd gen there’s zero chance I’d buy a 3rd gen over a 2nd gen. That 3.5 V6 and transmission combo is horrendous
@@slowfiveoh4986I understand that going in, we have a 3rd gen in the family. Chloe has made it clear you need to do a "Tune" on the 3rd gen Tacoma. We also have a 1st gen in the family with over 340K on it and the 3rd gen has just over 200k on it. get a Ford or GM to that.
So far the power train seems solid in the wifes grand highlander. Just don't know how it will perform on the taco with bigger tires and a heavier platform. Really wish they would put the twin turbo 6 in a version to atleast compete with the ranger raptor
The Grand Highlander has a higher gross weight. It will be fine in the Taco. It will be a big improvement over the anemic 2.7 and 3.5 engines.
She’ll have one soon!
Owned a 2022 TRD-OffReoad and sold it because the lack of power. Ready to get the 24 TRD-OffRoad in Solar Octane.
Cross-shopping all midsize trucks and some base 1/2 ton trucks for purchase at the end of 2024. The Tacoma will be at the top of my list. Ideally, I would like a 6’ bed with the hybrid engine, so probably a TRD Sport. I do like the the AWD system on the Limited, but I don’t like so much chrome. We tow a small camper and haul camping gear. Our camper only weighs 2900 lbs loaded, so tow capacity is not really an issue (5,000 lb tow capacity or greater is just fine). Payload is the more important number. The previous gen Taco was weak with real world payload. If payload has been addressed, it will come down to price. I have NEVER paid MSRP or above on any new vehicle, including a Toyota.
I’m interested in SR manual transmission 4x4 Tacoma.
tacoma 4wd with twin turbo V6..I'm all in
I would buy the x runner just to go to work everyday.
I want a extended cab, 4x4 manual.
They have the JBL system which sounds good at. low volumes but raised not too much, as someone who likes great sounding audio in my cars I will be removing the factory JBL speakers and and and replacing with higher end components. Other than that I have a 23 Tacoma OR and love it so far.
I wish the turbo V6 was a option for all of the 2024 Tacomas. I’m kinda concerned about the turbo 4 cylinder being durable enough just my opinion I’m not saying it won’t be durable but that little engine will be working harder having 2 less cylinders and being turbocharged and also making more power than the outgoing V6😬
If Ford and Chrysler(Fiat) have been doing it for a while successfully, Toyota will kill it. My dad has a JL Wrangler Rubicon 2.0T and the power comes on fast at the low RPM's and the vehicle moves effortlessly. Motors designed to handle turbos, especially at the low factory boost settings will be reliable.
As an owner of the old "TRD" supercharged setup on a 4.0 V6 Tacoma, I have faith in these new engines lasting a while (200-300k easy as Ford and Chrysler have already done). The 465lb/ft of torque is a must especially when adding weight to the truck for these "overland" builds. I have around 380lb/ft torque (crank estimate for comparison) and it is just enough to easily keep up with traffic once you add over 500lbs of mods to the truck.
If they decide to make the X-Runner, it will just be trim, sport suspension, exclusive colors and tires. They will not put that twin turbo V6 in it. I wish. I'd be first in line for one, so don't nobody dream!
I really wanted an Access Cab, manual trans, 4x4 so I bought a 2022 Sport. I think the new Tacoma will be very nice. However, my configuration no longer exists.
Yes I have a 22 OR AC I would buy a 24 OR AC if it was available
@@Jan-pw4pounfortunately the only TRD option we have on the access cab is the TRD prerunner and that doesn't have a 4x4 as an option.
Are any of them under a 100k
Media is supposed to get to drive these this week maybe as a side event of LA auto show.
Are you getting to drive one ????????
Would get the sr5 with the trd sport or xrunner suspension and got a budget xrunner
That 4 cylinder turbo is not going to be as reliable as the v6. When I got the news that the 2024 had a 4 cylinder turbo, I went and bought a 2023 off road
Not as reliable Based on what? Toyota has been making turbo I4’s for a long long time
@slowfiveoh4986 Based on physics. When you introduce a turbo, you are increasing the internal forces on the engine, and you are increasing the heat on the engine. The turbo runs incredibly hot, and the oil running through it can burn if you don't let it cool before before shutting off the engine. You are also introducing more fail points.
Mid-November still no pricing/config. Ready to upgrade from 09' Sport. Can't wait.
This coming week 11/13-11/17, the Toyota CZcamsrs are getting to drive the new tacos. Hopefully hopefully prices come out then.
I'm sure TFLTruck will be first in line again.@@Vec135
Cool 😎
Couldn’t we get a comment of how it feels to sit in one? Seems prior years people complained about the Tacoma seats being low to the floor - is the seating ergonomics better, worse? Strange that this was not addressed in the video.
I own a 2016 trd sport with 65k miles. It's time for upgrade
3RD time now I've watched this video, that x runner is truly Toyota Racing Development TRD I want that truck. TOYOTA!!!!!!
See how good these Tacoma look I can’t wait to see how the new 4Runner look like
@TRDJon in the background lol
I'm curios, will the camera system record while driving. So if I get into a wreck can I download the recorded video?
2024s are nice looking but I’m not sure about losing the non-turbo charged V6.
Right, now there isn't even a V6 on offer!
Toyota still needs to improve the the head space and leg space in the back. Plus, the seats need to be better for angling comfort. Also, Toyota needs to rustproof their structual body frame that is a problem for the past Tacomas.
If your looking for more space your honestly better off buying a Tundra
If you're looking for a frame that doesn't rust you're honestly better off buying a unibody
How long before they add the NA V6 option?
NA V6 is a thing of the past sadly 😢
@erico1120 that's why 2023 tacoma was the year for me
@@richardbrown986 Taking delivery of my '23 v6 Off-Road next month.
@MisterDogg it's so weird how many trucks have 4 cy turbos. I was actually going to get a single can chevy with a v8 ...... bwhahahaha, everything I saw available had 4 cy turbo in a full size truck. That's kinda un-American 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@richardbrown986 It is weird. Every manufacturer is trying to get more MPG's out of their trucks so I guess it sorta makes sense. Not sure if the gov is putting out new regulations ect. or if its just a trend? I don't know how they expect to get 200k plus miles without having the replace the turbo though... I need long term dependability.
Why does the X Runner get a V6 and everything else gets 4 cylinder?
It’s a concept vehicle, with a Tundra motor!
Access cab models (with doors) discontinued replaced by back to the past "extra cab" with no doors. And even that option does not extend to higher 4x4 trim levels (Sport or OR). Oh well. Maybe Toyota will come to their senses in 2025.
Too big and expensive for me but I'd love to see a compact version of this design.
Crossing my fingers for the 4Runner redesign
I have my deposit in for a Pro! #45 on the list though 😢
Oof, I’m #1 on my local dealer list for the trailhunter, Hang in there
Lot of haters here. Lol.
I think they look great. Love the seat with suspension on it.
I just hope the prices are t too crazy
I am looking at the TRD pro if the price isn’t out of hand
I am also wanting to see what the MPGs will be like with the hybrid in there.
Thanks for the video.
I find the more modern the vehicles the more complicated they are and the harder they are for the backyard mechanic to work on.
so u gonna get it>?
Bought a 2023 one brand new week ago. I should’ve have wait for the 2024 😔.
I think it will hard for many to get one of these here are the reasons why
1. Prices will be really high (I hope I am wrong here)
2. Interest rates are really high. This is going to cause really large auto loan payments and a the auto insurance getting out of hand; it will really kill some sales
3. I do t think there will be too much inventory on hand specially for the PRO causing limited inventory and therefor shooting prices thru the roof. I hope I am wrong here
If the price is reasonable I am shooting for a TRD PRO.
Here hoping for a decent priced without market adjustments or dealers being greedy. Un yeah that’s not going to happen. Lol. Wish we could buy them directly from Toyota instead of greedy dealers!!
Anticipated, probably. Better than a 2023, highly unlikely. Give the gen4 a few years would be my advice. Paying more to provide R&D while your truck is waiting for parts is not my thing.
Make sure to get the vehicle you want before 26 and when there's a kill switch installed in vehicles....🤨
I’m betting that doesn’t happen because of public outrage.
Hi Chloe! Thanks for the hard work and effort you put into this video production. for my personnel viewing pleasure That X RUNNER is truly awesome, except for the red interior, this truck is definitely for me.
thanks for the love
Toyota has finally figured out how to charge for replacement seat shock absorbers!
Seriously, the new Tacomas look good but with any total redesign, I'll wait a few years for Toyotas to work the bugs out....as they always do. But especially based on the mew Tundra plethora of issues....
I think the Taco will have fewer problems than the Tundra. They have more riding on this truck to get it right initially.
I should have waited for 1 year. I just got my 2023 last December 2022 =(
2024 ford ranger raptor for me
Just gay
@@Crusader1984 Don't start sh..t.
You’re a model❤
Yeah for 5000 dollars more including tax, dealer markup, any extras etc. So glad i bought my new 2023.
You should wait a few years to get the 4th Gen until they fix all the bugs like every new design that's came out.
Plus Track width and Tundra brakes with a TT V6 ! Imagine how many TRD PRO’s they would sell if that was part of the package. Missed opportunity Toyota
Changing wheel offset instead of increasing travel? Serious?
Not criticizing you Ms Chloe
Was hoping for more from Toyota than seats with shocks
here
Lowered Expectations. looks amazing ..Chloe go on and pull he trigger on the 24 model Tacoma , I will be looking forward it on your channel.. Toyota listens to owners and content creators.
Electronic ebrake, don't get me wrong I love turbo it's fun but not for longevity. I own 2 turbocharged Subaru's 17 sti and 10 forester xt. And just picked up a 23 toco. I wanted NA to last me a life time
