    This is the new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter! The Trailhunter is a brand new version of the Tacoma designed to be overland ready with its beefy off-road capabilities. It is powered by a new hybrid 4-cylinder engine which is the most powerful engine offered in the new Tacoma. Today I'm reviewing this new Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

    One thing I think that's impressive that no one seems to mention is that the power inverter for these new cars is 2400W @120V. That can basically power anything as long as your battery is charged which is kinda insane. Usually it's been maxed out at like 400W. You basically never have to carry around one of those big backup batteries.

      “All-New, All-Conquering Trailhunter
      Toyota has long been the choice of those who forge their own paths to adventure. Now, the choice is even clearer. Introducing the Tacoma Trailhunter-conceived, designed and built to be a ready-made overlanding beast.”
      Overlanding is just a term for getting to hard to reach places usually with reference to camping or exploring. Suspension on the Trailhunter is tuned for carrying heavier load outs. “Old Man Emu® Suspension
      Overlanders need a truck that can do more than just take them down the toughest trails; they also need it to carry all their gear and supplies for extended time off the grid. Trailhunter’s standard Old Man Emu® 2.5-in. forged monotube shocks with external remote reservoirs combine rugged capability with outstanding load-carrying stability, to get you through the obstacles and into the middle of nowhere.”
      In the past there was only a TRD model and it was target toward all around 4WD. Now they’ve focused TRD as more of a Ford Raptor competitor - desert runner, suspensions seats, hitting jumps etc…And Trailhunter for overlanding.

      Basically they are pushing TRD as more of a desert runner and competitor to the Ford Raptor. They even put the shock absorber system into the seats for hitting jumps with the vehicle. Trailhunter is set up for exploring hard to reach places with larger overlanding payloads.

Only issue I have with your statement, unless you have a super charger, our 5.7l v8 only has 381hp which I don’t think I would trade for the base v6 of the current model.

    12 mpg on a hybrid four cylinder??? I think Doug is totally breezing over this. I don’t care if you are doing Baja races with the thing, that is insane. What is the pay off for using a drivetrain that your fanbase doesn’t like/want? No mpg gain. Power is pretty much the same. More complexity and inevitably less reliability. And they are forcing it down your throat by making it the only option on upper trim levels. Great truck in a lot of ways but this powertrain seems to have missed the mark so much it isn’t even fun. I wish Doug would have dug into this a bit more (no pun intended). Seems inexplicable and inexcusable.
