    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.

    The integrated compressor is designed to last the life of the truck, and to be used frequently. When off-road, reliability is key to survival, and nobody wants to be let down by a cheap portable compressor. Also it's useful for inflating watercraft, air mattresses, and used to run an impact gun for wheel removal. Much, much better than a portable. Kudos to Toyota for putting together such a comprehensive, quality package!

    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.

      ICE vehicles are clearly going away with all this high-stressed engine boosted over complicated mess. ICE vehicles are increasingly only for the rich as they try to compete with EV horsepower numbers.. Meanwhile EVs are getting less expensive by the month and ridiculous performance. Just wait until Chinese EVs are being imported you will be getting a truck for $25k that will have 500hp and 400 miles range with super fast charging. These days will be here way before 2030. It is still only 2024.

    60 Months Payment: $1260
    @12.5% of take home pay you should be earning $157,500 annually to be looking at this car (assuming the appropriate taxes are coming out of your paycheck).
    National average wage (US Census): $63795.
    Percentage making $150k annually: approx. 8.3%
    5 Year price increase Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro:
    2019 MSRP: $42,960

    These price increases far outpace inflation and wage growth.

    The Trailhunter is the Rock Crawler trim, fyi. Also, the high mount air intake is not a snorkel, though I imagine it has a high fording depth, but technically, the air intake is not water tight and you will like end up flooding your engine if water hits your windscreen.

      companies will remove every single button and we all complain and then there’s this doofus who complains about the one company still adding physical buttons. if you think this is bad think about what liquid is gonna do to the electrical components of those massive touch screens or capacitive panels 🙄 and then instead of whatever function the button controls being broken the screen that controls several or perhaps every single function in the car is gone completely. just because it’s more minimalist and out of the way doesn’t mean it isn’t susceptible to the exact same thing.

    Toyota employee here. The snorkel is actually not for river crossing but to receive better air quality than what you’d get at the level the stock intake get air air.
    In other words it sits higher up to avoid getting more dust in your air filter.
    TLDR: DONT CROSS RIVERS WITH THIS TYPE OF SNORKEL ITS NOT MEANT FOR THAT.

    The front metal loop under the front bumper is only rated as a tie down point. I do think it’s super weird it doesn’t have recovery hooks in the front stock when it’s got all the other off road goodies. On my off-road vehicles I always have an air compressor permanently mounted and wired up. It’s a must out on the sand or trails. It’s nice cause it’s you know it’s always ready to go but it does come at the cost of some space. I’ve been watching your videos since like 2016! Love all your reviews man!

    My opinion about overlanding vehicles is the personalization and modification of the vehicle itself. The ability to choose what equipment you install, and where/why or how gives the vehicle more of an intrinsic connection. Toyota providing things like the utility bar, the lights, and maybe even the compressor kinda takes that away from the end user. I can see the appeal and see where there is a market, but I feel like it's doing a lot to placate people who aren't taking this further than the farmers' market grass parking lot. Especially at $63k.
