New Tacoma is a excellent class leading mid size truck And keeps its crown with style.👑👑👑. Obviously haters will Post crazy comments and misinformation. Whats funny and untolerable for me is some people can't understand that this is a bloody truck end of the day. This is not going get prius levels of MPG. Still the hybrid version has excellent power performance torque and more. Fact is stupid hard core enthusiasts Will complain about anything.
Love the limited with that adaptive suspension as well for a smooth ride if I was looking for a Tacoma this is what I would get in the hybrid
But he just told you there’s no difference in acceleration between the hybrid and the non-hybrid model. so why pay the $3700 extra for the hybrid?
@@sammyjammy6647 Because I’m a tree hugger and I believe in lowest possible emissions just my environmental stance and it does have a little bit better fuel mileage as well
@@jonathanratliff4780you do know the making of the battery pollutes just as much right?
My understanding is that only the hybrid limited gets full time 4x4. The non-hybrid limited can only be had with part time 4x4. Depending on who you are the hybrid might be better for the conditions you live in.
Hey Kirk. Heard youve been having some problems with your tables
Kirk, With today's prices, Toyota's Full-time, 'Land Cruiser' 4WD system should be installed in all the 4X4 models. In tanks like the Tacoma and 4Runner, the mpg penalty is insignificant compared to the added grip. I know this is a Tacoma review but those Crown Signias look good in the spring sunshine. 😎😎😎😎
My guess is that this hybrid setup is just going to be more durable than the turbo. Is it worth the higher price? Perhaps, I don't know.
I think this is a very nice truck, wow. The car has a quality feel to it, and hybrid, excellent engines. This car will be huge suc6.
Agree
There is no tire noise on the TRD Pro, it is very well insulated
Great test and video!
Awesome
Gets me excited for the new Hilux. It’s gonna be such a crazy jump from the old one AND the GR model will get the TTV6 (diesel and petrol).
I was hoping Toyota would have developed a selectable AWD/4x4 system for these new TNGA based utes/ ute based SUVs that allowed one to to drive it in full time 4x4 on road and at all speeds… am I correct to say Mitsubishi uses such system in their Triton/ Pajero Sport
For its 4X4 lineup, Toyota has the best full-time 4WD system in the world. There is no meaningful loss in fuel efficiency. Toyota has NOTHING to learn from the clowns at Mitsubishi.
Did you see donut media there ?
Kirk I’ll tell ya having a turbo anything makes me uneasy. However, this engine has been out for about 2 years (in other Toyota/Lexus) and so far my people’s in the field has shown zero engine failures, and the few issues that were reported were in the first 6 months. Most of these probably don’t have over 40,000 miles so far so only time will tell after 100,000…
My biggest gripe with these are the itty bitty gas tanks, and how they basically force you to think “you might as well get the higher trim / better package”. If you look at how these are priced, and the different trims, by the time you’re already at 49,000, you might as well buy the limited/ TRD Off Road at 53. And you get EVERYTHING cool!
And the most common one that people would use for work would be the SR5 unless your Orkin and are going to use an SR. But there’s no excuse why the SR5 cannot get some kind of package that has the outlet in the bed. The SR5 having the power outlet would solve the issue where most think about just might as well getting the higher trim because it’s only a little bit higher price anyway and you get everything you need and want.
Once my RAV4 is paid for, I’m eyeballing a few different Tacoma options. Hopefully in a few years they will make tweaks to some minor complaints out there.
It is a Toyota hybrid engine.....tge best hybrids around by far. We have in the Netherlands Toyota hybrid cars for 10 years now, almost whole line up is hybrid. Toyota is the most reliable car on the market in the Netherlands and for that matter Europe. And I can tell you these engines are forced to the max.....
Kirk my bruh.
My bruh❌ our bruh✅
IS IT MORE OF A DIRT ROAD OR CAMPING AREA ROAD (N.H, VT, ME)?😎?
How come the tire and ground clarence seem low, it is because the limtied is more for street driving?
Yes
I was really hoping for a 30 mpg SR5 under 35k ….. I asked for too much…
Definitely lol what where you thinking? 30mpg in a truck? 😂
@@jameshumphrey3425
Yeah what was thinking. Laughs in 40mpg maverick
@@MrOscar5690 ahh that’s a baby truck tho to be fair
@@jameshumphrey3425 f150 hybrid gets 25. I’m only asking 5 more mpg .. shouldn’t be too much for the hybrid king
They could have easily got the Tacoma to 40mpg, but they decided to use a hybrid motor for more torque. Lost me as a consumer.
What is the range on the hybrid?
Bhahaaha.
I could care less for the MPGs. All I care about is keeping the reliability and that crazy crazy price tag.
What is the point of having a hybrid if it doesn’t have good mpg… Toyota engineers are blind
So Kirk, are you recommending the non-hybrid Tacoma and saving the $3700 extra?
Hard to recommend the hybrid here.
@@KirkKreifels Seems odd from an engineering perspective that they would add a hybrid when the added weight offsets any performance and gas mileage gains. 🤷🏻♂️
@@KirkKreifels That put you in direct contrast to David. 😉
I just can’t get used to how big that screen is.
I have owned 3 tacomas all great trucks. Now I'm priced out of the market!
I owned a 2002 Tacoma PreRunner (small taco) and loved it. I really really like the new PreRunner but somewhat disappointed Toyota did not offer the hybrid for better gas mileage. It seems the gas mileage on the Tacoma never really improves over the years.
What's the point of a hybrid if it doesn't get better mpg?
Overpriced but people will buy it. Toyota is acting like the American “Big Four”.😆Definitely a good truck though.
It's priced More than ok and people here complaining this hybrid is not about mpg forget this is a truck and not a Prius.
@@Mylifeislegendary836.I agree MPG should be be compared to smaller vehicles.
@@mrgurulittle7000 fact is simple.when Toyota or any brand creates a hybrid turbo or whatever .it's More about power performance torque and maybe a little mpg but again we are not talking about a compact Prius or Corolla.
@@Mylifeislegendary836.For sure.👍
@@mrgurulittle7000 👍
So it doesn’t feel faster and it’s not more efficient. What’s the point for dropping an extra 7k for the hybrid?
It also can't tow more.
It's quieter, smoother, and torquier
it's like $3k difference when configured with offroad package and 14" screen
@@driftx2In Canada the OR Premium to OR Premium Hybrid is $6500!!! 😬
Great review. Just my opinion but, I have an 18 TRD ORP 4Runner. Watching the mpg’s on the screen and I get the same or actually better mpg’s than the new hybrid truck when I go easy on the throttle. Okay you have more torque. But, I thought the idea of the new model and platform was to increase fuel economy? Since the new 4Runner will have the same drivetrain it will be hard to justify the healthy price increase for a new one that still needs to prove its reliability over the long run. Plus the wind noise issue has plagued several of the newer model, especially the Tundra truck and that takes us back to quality control and design issues that Toyota engineers should have caught before production. I am a huge fan of the Toyota/Lexus vehicles so don’t take my criticism the wrong way, maybe just share with all those Toyota reps you deal with from a consumers standpoint. Again keep up your reviews always look forward to your assessments of the vehicles answering all the right questions someone wants to know if they are serious about buying.
So the hybrid isn't faster and it cost thousand more. Mpg is very slightly improved and it cost thousands more. Yeah toyota you really looked out for you loyal base lol
$$$$$$$$$
My Wrangler 4c turbo will probably get better fuel mileage than that. I'm overall a little disappointed with the fuel mileage.. and it will obviously drop a lot of you're towing. I got 20 MPG in my wrangler towing a 2,500 lb trailer on a 800 mile camping trip.
Reliability tho
Really not worth the hybrid up charge. Looks like Toyota did it again a hybrid truck with lousy mpg….
The consumer is disappointed in the latest Tacoma. They are sitting in lots along with the tundra. We will see the same with the land cruiser.
people buying them now will be stung by by low trade in value,as the prices are going to have to be lowered quite a bit to sell tacoma at the same levels as in the past.
@@billw8476 its true, with the exception of the TRD Pro and Trail Hunter for the serious people that dont mind wasting their money, Tacoma's, Tundra's, Sequoia's are all sitting on lots
Toyota has lost its value proposition… $50k+
Meh.
Desent looking truck, but the 4 cylinder turbo with a battery is to expensive and long term more problems
Pointless Hybrid system. Hybrid systems only work with good implementation.
