2 minutes and 50 seconds confirmed my choice will be the Off Road. I have an 2004 TRD Off Road now. 54 years old and never owned a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles when I bought them. Time to treat myself to a 2022. This will be my 4th Tacoma.
Congrats! good luck with the new truck
Just bought a 2023 TRD Sport. Will be delivered next month. Wanted 4WD but did not need complete OR capability.
I’d go with the sport. I know it’s non functioning but the scoop just makes the truck look a lot better. Also not buying a new truck to off road around in so could care less about crawl control
We just bought 2023 trd 4x4 sport, and I love it
Congratulations on the new truck!!
Yeah i think im gonna get rhe Sport model. Gonna be my first time owning a truck im excited !
Got a sport. Lifted it, with off road tires just to look aggressive. I don't really do off roading though. But love driving it in the snow!
I still like the looks of the hood scoop on the sport .
My dude with the OR can be so modest since deep down inside… He knows the Off-Road takes the win. Lol
So true, im also a married man. So spending that kind of money for aftermarket parts can be tougher than just getting the trd pro for me.
Honestly they are both beautiful trucks. I agree the chrome badges should be black by default.
100% agree about your comment with color match for fenders.
I went with the OR because of the reviews I saw said it road softer ride and I’m not a fan of the hood scoop
OR is definitely a softer ride
Own a 2021 off-road long bed, love it… thought this was going to be an actual off-road comparison
We can do one, although with mine not being stock idk how fair it would be
Was kinda hoping the new would wear off before this request, but I will start looking for a place to compare them. You in trent?
Long beds rule!!
It’s not just the locker that makes the OR better, it’s the bigger gear set. Even if you add a locker on the sport, the gear size stays the same unless you swap the whole axle.
I was researching this and couldn't find an answer if this was different for the manual transmissions. We will be digging deeper into these trucks to verify this. It seems the community goes back and forth with this claim
Thats not true. Plus at the end of the day, everyone swaps out their gears for the same 5.29:1
@@joshlopez9913 let me rephrase that.
Tacoma models with automatic transmissions and OEM E-locker or manual transmission models have the 8.75” rear ring gear.
Models with automatic transmission but lacking the OEM E-locker use an 8″ ring gear.
The problem when you have an Open diff or LSD is that the carrier is significantly weaker. It only uses 2 differential gears inside the carrier compared to locker that has 4.
So an Automatic TRD Sport would have the smaller 8” ring gear and weaker carrier.
Let’s say you regear and add a locker to a Automatic TRD sport, the ring gear stays the same as a 8” ring gear. That’s the part you can’t really upgrade unless you change the axle housing.
Also remember the lower the gear ratio the smaller the pinion gear gets.
So a 3.91 ratio has a bigger pinion gear than a 5.29.
@@ModernDayViking search up gear packages on aftermarket parts. You’ll see the differences there. Companies will have technical info on what models have and need.
Partially false, the sport and SR5 with the manual trans has the exact same gear size as the off road, that's only the automatic that differs. In my opinion it is better to get a manual sport or SR5 and just install an aftermarket locker that can be used in 2HI 4HI and 4LO not just 4LO like the off road.
The red and blue in the intro is sick they both look so good next to each other
I have owned both of them. I come from toyota suv. Toyota cars
Subarus Honda nissan. And you can name it. Both trucks are awesome on their own territorry. I am curremtly trying to put the shock and tires from the sport to the off road. Because i do more highway them off road. But the sport is without a doubt capable to do off road. I know better i had both of then. I love both of them. I am glad they are not woman
I ordered a lunar rock sport arriving in July. The wait for an off road was far too long for my wife and I needing a second vehicle. The two and a half month wait for the sport is still too long as is. I'm glad I went with the sport. Some of the extra features included in the off-road are not applicable to my life. I do plan on off-roading a shit ton, living in Colorado and all. But all I need is 4H and 4L. Leave that rock crawl shit for the soccer moms. I don't need it. With some simple mods and new tires the sport will be great for most of my driving, which is on paved roads. And when I hit the mountains, it will be more than enough for me to get where I need to go. I'm not going to be rock crawling in my 41k truck. But for basic mountain back road off-roading, I know I'll be fine in my 4x4 sport.
Yup that was my mindset when I got my sport
I'm an owner of a 2014 trd sport 4.0l 6-speed manual in Barcelona red. I've never noticed the clunkiness you've talked about..
I just got my 2023 sport a few days ago. Drove an off road and a sport before going with the sport. I preferred the on road driving with my sport! I also have no idea what they’re talking about
I just got a 2022 Off Road in Super White with the 6AT. I’ve driven manuals all my life since I was 14 (now 60). The AT is because I purchased a dealer allocated vehicle and took what was available. It’s fine. The AT gear hunts at times trying to find the most optimum gear, but it’s a trade off. It’s not bad, just noticeable at times. Not a fan of the clutch accumulator or the spongy clutch feel. I guess both drive trains have their good and bad points. The locking diff is a no brainer. Not sure why the sport doesn’t have it. You get the crawl control with the AT that you don’t get with the manual. I like that. I also have remote start that the 6MT doesn’t have. I added Go Rhino side boards. They’re non slip which is awesome with snow and rain. I blacked out the chrome and added the black Tacoma letters on the tailgate a black chrome exhaust tip. Voodoo Blue grows on me and the Barcelona Red is excellent. I agree that the hood scoop is a distraction especially since it is non functioning. Doesn’t serve any purpose. Both trucks are sweet but I like the built in toughness of the Off Road along with the beefier tires. More sidewall adds to ride comfort. Here in Colorado, the Off Road is the one to have. The Sport is a sweet looking truck but out here we actually off road. It’s not just for show. Both trucks are awesome. I like both colors. Thanks for the comparison.
Congrats on the new truck! The old style key and not having remote start is very disappointing for it being a 2021/2022
@@ModernDayViking The reason the 6MT doesn’t get the remote start is because your manual transmission is always in gear when parked so starting it without depressing the clutch is not possible. Can’t start the engine unless you depress the clutch and using remote start you can’t do that which makes it impossible to use. But I’m sure you knew that so no need for me to belabor that. Sorry.
I really don't understand why people think the 4x4 sport or sr5 can't go "off road" just because it doesn't have a locker. Everytime I go out on trails on the weekend I see most of the time sport and SR5 4x4's it's like some people have this mentality that just because it doesn't have a locker it will get stuck as soon as it leaves the pavement. I have never owned a 4x4 with lockers and I have done most of the trails in Moab UT and many other trails in nevada and arizona and have never ran into a situation where I "needed" a locker, sure I would have had an easier time but it was not required like some people think. Where did this mentality come from?
@@sonysoyboysaremadeoftears.7404 agree 100% I’ve been off-roading for a long time and until I bought the Tacoma Off-road I’ve never had lockers and got through some pretty hairy situations. I only use it to pull my boat up some slippery slimy boat ramps… have not needed it so far off-roading
Ive been waiting for this comparison. Its a 50/50 to me . The sport has the nice hood with the vent scoop but the offroad tops it in every other aspect to me personally. (Maybe im being biased by being an off-road owner) lol
I agree, I wish toyota would give you the choice to add the painted fenders to the offroad from the factory. I think the offroad is a more complete package from the factory.
It would be nice if the vent was actually functional. I look at that and just see someone that paid more money for something that doesn’t actually work
@@4477superman yeah the painted rear bumper is the only reason I'm eyeing the sport
@@jtodd0221 you can get the painted rear bumper with the off road. Its a buy up with the tech package.
I just picked up my 2023 sport a few days ago. The on road experience I found better although people say otherwise and sport is clunky? I don’t experience that at all. Very smooth! Also, like you said the trim is much nicer while the off road looks cheaper in my eyes. Being in the driver seat seeing that beautiful hood is a plus! And 4 hi 4 lo is enough to do forest service roads and the majority of off road. Towing capability is the same. So, I went with the sport. Nicer looking towing the trailer my wife and I’ve got and more than enough to get around off road!
Sport is and sr5 with blue shocks and hood TRD off-road have rear diff locker and crawl control, TRD off-road is better no question.
This is one of those what's best for you areas. I have no need or use for the expensive shocks on the pro. So I went with the off road. I'm happy with my decision. I like the pros, just not for me is all.
"almost wrecked it twice"
LOL, yep those hood scoops will get ya' 🤣
haha!
i love both trucks
Appreciate the comparison and honest opinions.
I'm not sure I'm any closer to deciding. I have rented TRD off roads and put a few thousand miles on them. I've never driven a sport, but sounds like even a rougher ride. My only knock on the Taco is the grabby brakes and super light steering. The Sport trims seem to come with more upgrade packaged that most the TRD OR models. You really have to hunt to find an offroad with leather and a sunroof. (but they're out there)
Yes the sport is a rougher ride. My brakes are a bit softer then the OR truck. I can almost guarantee this is due to mine having 19k miles and his having 2k miles.
I currently have a GTI and am looking into a Taco. I like the idea of having a locking diff but I also love the hood scoop and TRD pro grill. I live in Michigan and go up north often and could utilize that locking diff in the snow/ sand. Looking into the 2020 models as I have heard Toyota fixed the oil leaking and transmission problems of the previous years. This video was very informative. Thank you both.
Kickass rims on the Sport man. Also thought the same bout the steps/bars on the OR. I would smash my shins immediately. Appreciate the side by side comparison on the suspension too. Good vid guys Thanks.
Thank you!
I recently bought my first Tacoma, '23 SR5 4X4 Double Cab, and the suspension feels like my old 1987 Monte Carlo LS. It feels so smooth on the road and off too 😎
Most people get more use from the hood scoop than the locking diff.
I wish it were true but turns out the hood scoop is fake and just for aesthetics even the ones on the trd pros are fake the only reason there might be a difference in speed is the gears that are in the sport they have more top end less low end
Hell yeah great video ❤️
Thank you!
You guys seem like some chill dudes thanks for the video! The new 2023 off road offers matching wheel flares leaning towards that option if I can find all black with a manual
Glad you liked it! Good luck on the search 🔍
Great video guys keep up the good work love both trucks
Thank you!
What’s the difference in the price
Lol I hate the grey fenders. Love the sport. I ordered a bluecrush, two months now waiting, but at least I have a VIN number now in Atlanta.
Congrats on the new truck! blue crush looks great!
Beautiful trucks can't go wrong with either I have the off-road but I like the looks of the sport
Right on
One benefits of the sport in America is you can get it with a manual and access cab.
Soon to be owner of a 2022 red sport, i wish 2022 still offered that crayola blue😂 that’s my fav! I myself will pretty much be driving only on road, but sports are still extremely capable for light off road use when you need it for sure!
The black fender flares and valance are 🤌🏼
Nice side by side comparison video you got here. Voodoo blue is definitely the best blue shade on the 3rd gen. Blue Crush Metallic that just came out is way too dark and Cavalry Blue is way too light.
Right! the blue crush looks really cool at night though!
The differences between suspensions are not as simple as “better and worse.” They are different suspensions for different purposes. Soft suspensions are great for technical off-roading at slow speeds but on the highway you will notice bouncing. Vice versa
Just bought a 2020 sport 4x4. Love it
I’ve the Sport 2020 model like the blue one there but mine comes with sunroof,JBL sound , wireless charger, leather and heating seats 😳
I would not buy a color-matched truck if I am going to take it off-roading. It will totally mess up the finish around the high impact areas (bumpers & fender flares). Hence the non-painted plastic on the off-road vehicles. I wish my TRD Sport 2WD had come with a rear chrome bumper. I've seen too many scratched color matched Tacos out there and they look ugly. But that's what was available, so I got color matched bumpers. Great video, Thanks!
Right on! I have already scratched mine but it doesn't really matter to me as I'll be doing the high clearance rear bumper
Each model is designed for different purposes. Each one is “better” it it’s intended category. The Sport is by far wayyyy better looking than the OR. The plastics make it look cheap! Also, anyone who says they don’t like the hood just wishes they had one! I guarantee most OR owners would go for an OR with a scoop IF it was an option!
I mean maybe, but that hood scoop is not for me. Lol
I’m from Orlando originally and lived there all my life so I had zero interest in trucks because I was happy driving a sedan but now living in rural Ohio for the last five years and dealing with heavy snow, I’m seriously looking for a truck or suv and I’ve narrowed it down to the Tacoma and F150 for a truck or the 4Runner and Explorer for an suv. On the strength, I may choose the Tacoma. I F’ING love the Lunar Rock and the sand colors. The army green is nice also.
Trucks are definitely helpful up north. I think the tacoma would make a great truck for you
@@ModernDayViking good morning, thank you for your input.
If you don't need a truck I'd recommend an Outback before a four runner or explorer. The AWD system in subies is ridiculous in how well it works. I've seen them pull larger 4x4 trucks out of snow. The Outback Wilderness edition is pretty sexy. Of course a Taco is rad if you need a truck. But if you're strictly buying because of shitty snow driving, get a Subaru. I got an Outback and just ordered a Lunar Rock Taco...But we need a truck.
@@ricopaulson1it’s ironic because I did consider Subaru at one point. They’re great cars. I never did buy a new vehicle. Not because I changed my mind but because I decided to wait as life brought me unexpected challenges and I realized if my car is already paid off, I don’t quite need a new car payment right now but I’m still going to get a vehicle that’s suitable for where I live in the near future. Thank you for your information and I’m sorry for the delay in responding.
I just got a ‘23 TRD Sport Access Cab. Does ok in the snow but I just use it as a utility truck.
That's OK, I have a 2021 Off-road in the amazon Cement Grey
That was my first choice, but they discontinued the color and I dont like the green in lunar rock.
Bro I’m saying that hood scoop is wayy to high shit is hard to see sometimes
It is allot.
My sport came with all the cameras his off road has.
I wanted the Off-Road, but there were only the 24's available and I didn't want a 4 banger engine, so I went with a 21 TRD Sport instead which was the only 1 they had!~
Sports has a non-functioning scoop. Looks nice that it. I've seen people put a light bar in there. I went off road because less upgrades I need to do. Just wish of the few gripes I have about the Off Road is the tires, they could have put better Off Road tires on them. I have the 2020. and by now you figured LED lights should be on all vehicles heck there lower end Corrales have LED lights. And since it's a off road the skid for gas tank you figure would be some type of metal. Then the front skid wish it were thicker as the Pro. but those are minor gripes.
The off road is for sure the better option for off-road performance straight from the factory no doubt
Definitely true about the ride quality on the sport, it feels bouncy like my focus st
I am definitely excited to get rid of the sport suspension
Great video boys! Regarding the steps, I'm thinking of amp research steps so that tuck in when I'm driving in. Do you think that would be a better option than the predators?
Thanks! Most likely would be better. The biggest complaint about the predator steps is hitting them unexpectedly
Can’t you just some better shocks for the sport and help with off-roading
Sport is just fine unless you really want to off-road hard which I’m guessing 95% of people aren’t doing. Basic 4hi/lo will get you where you need to go just fine
The hood scoop is pretty dumb only because its not functional.
Nice video !
I just put a deposit on a 2022 trd or , army green manual for msrp. Could not get the dealer to drop the price from msrp , how was your guys luck?
He paid a little over msrp for his 2022. I got my 21 slightly used for under msrp
@@ModernDayViking I got a used 2021 TRD OFF RD with 10K mikes For 45K
I paid exactly MSRP...... I just had to drive six and a half hours to get it. Lol
@@SamhidesfrombulletsLive in Tampa, FL. Got a new 2022 TRD OR in August, several weeks ago, for 39K. Army green, MT, Led lights. Retired & do a lot of camping & exploring in Blue Ridge & Smoky Mountain areas of GA & NC.
Pull a small (1600 lbs) InTech aluminum frame trailer with pull-out kitchen, AC/Heat, indoor sleeping room.
Preferred MT for hills and trail exploring. Love the smooth ride both On & Off Road.
I went with the sport and i love it. Off-road I still use my FJ which is better in my opinion then running the taco off-road.
My dudes. Please recreate this video with better sound quality. Love the content (cringy/cheesy as it is) but couldn’t hear anything. Plus maybe y’all have done mods to re-compare? 👍😎👍
I did the same thing when I picked up my Subaru wrx! Drive it back from Michigan, 3 hour drive, thinking man these headlights suck for a 2020!!! Turns out it was the DRLS only turned on lol.
Right! Gets me every time
the bloue tacoma is dope
Can you all do a video on the accessories that can be added based off the pre-wiring Tacoma has done. I have a Tacoma and there are a ton of quick connects that have nothing connecting to them that I don't know what they are for. I don't see a lot of videos about this.
Both .. very sweet, I have a 19 OR cement, premium Moon roof JBL , Mickey Thompson Baja Legend 275/70/17 Fox 2.0 but I couldn’t find a manual 🤬🤬🤘🔥🤘
How's the JBL setup? That wasn't available with the manual option
Why do people look at the hood scoop? You are supposed to look down the road not at the hood. I don’t see mine, I just came from a ram 1500 and my sport has better visibility. So jealous of you folks down in the states, we don’t get LED or JBL or back up sensors in Canada.
Hahah yeah I don't really notice it while I drive
Just got myself a 2018 subaru wrx last year, but I am missing the truck life....the roads i travel on for work would make more sense to have a truck. Been thinking about getting a tacoma. Never had a toyota and I'm leaning towards the trd offroad
I came from the car scene, I have not missed it!
You will miss the wrx no matter what you buy.
What you guys think about the 2024 tacoma with turbo engine? Should I wait or get the 2023 model
Personally I would never buy the first new model of any vehicle. Too many recalls and problems
How can you not like the Voodoo blue. It's so clean. I also drive a Buick Lesabre right now...lmao
Right the blue is awesome!
Too bad you didn't know someone with a white Tacoma you coulda thrown in the middle. 🇺🇸
I've been telling my girlfriend to get a white 4runner for this reason hahaha
@@ModernDayVikinghell yea! I love my truck but wish I could swing both. Especially if there was a manual 4Runner.
2nd gens are the only tacoma you should get. much better transmission and engine combo with the 4.0l and better torque delivery, interior is more spacious and the truck is designed to be a truck not a camry with a bed like the 3rd gen.
I have always loved the tacos and almost bought a second gen, but that sharp angle on the back side fender opening I just can't unsee. Its still there on the third gen but nowhere near as steep.
nice discussion but the audio is harsh.
yeah my bad! should be getting the audio fixed up soon!
I get my used 2018 trd sport 4x4 Inferno orange fully loaded. Im stoked christmas came early lol. Cheer
Never thought Tacos become so colorful and so popular. It’s a work truck!
Hahah I use mine more for play lol
@@ModernDayViking Many new Tacos owners are on the same boat. Don’t blame you. New Tacos look bad**s
@@gsxrkz nope tacomas are a great work truck
Hopefully those aren’t E rated Wildpeak Bc that’ll make it even more rough
I just looked back though your videos and you do indeed have load range e Wildpeaks, I have the exact same tire on my TRD OFF ROAD and it makes the truck ride rough over pot holes and street cracks Bc of the super stiff sidewalls.
I believe the oem tire is a SL Passenger Tire hence some of the difference you are feeling.
@@MASKOAA yeah I definitely feel the road alot more with the wildpeaks
Check out the air locker
Yo solo quiero saber si la SPORT no se atasca en el invierno, porque sinceramente quiero comprarme la sport. Me dice alguien? No se inglés :(
The sport is just as capable in the winter as the off road is. The biggest problem on winter roads is bad drivers.
I've truly beat the hell out of my 2009 TRD off road but its taken all the abuse I've given it (mostly) but it's time to upgrade. Apparently the 2009 wasn't much good(IDK) but I'm getting mixed reviews on every year I contemplate. I don't buy new and aim for a mv with 20k plus or minus. Do I go 2015 which mostly gets good reviews or do I move up to a 2020 or 2021. I think I've done to much research. Anyone??
OR for me although I’m biased as I own one.
All good! OR is awesome
funny about the red, they say more sporty vehicles come in a shade of red
Right lol
Color match makes no sense to me. Especially if you take it off road. Plus it's nice to break up the color a bit.
Is the sport on stock suspension? Sorry if I missed that in the video but I swear k didn’t hear it haha
Sport has better tow and payload ratings
once you said hood scoop and no locking diff I was done.
fake hood scoop isn't getting you unstuck
Where did that voodoo blue come from though?? I'd love to have it, but t's not available now.
2021 was the last year it was available 😔💙
@@ModernDayViking Dang, missed it! The colours now are kinda craps tbh. ☹ Thanks for the review, I appreciated the side by side pro's and con's. The only thing is that at times it was hard to hear you guys when you weren't looking at the camera, luckily you kept on talking so I could pick it up after a bit. You've made me second guess whether it's worth paying for the step, when sliders are better, lol. It's been two months since I placed my order and Toyota hasn't even picked it up yet.
@@pennycandyys Sorry about the audio! This video is a few months old now, new camera and mic setup now in days! Good luck with the wait!
@@ModernDayViking Oh good! And thank you, yeah, I sure hope they pick my order up soon, I'd love to drive come Spring! (Also, I really like both the hood scoop and non colour matched...fender flares? Is that what they call them?) I don't know why Toyota doesn't give more options with style and colour, but anyway... Have a great day!
I love the sport for driving shitty CT roads..my huge complaint is how loud the cabin is
Wish they had a flat red rather than metallic.
It seems to me that a lot of people who buy the sport do a lot of driving on the street. Considering I bought my Tacoma to pull a smaller trailer the sport 4x4 would have worked out fine but I wanted the off-road I like to slightly rugged look a little better plus you can't argue with the locking rear diff not that I'll probably ever use it 🤷
I bought a sport because it was the cheapest model that had the manual option lol
@@ModernDayViking both of your guys's trucks are extremely nice! That would be cool if one of my buddies had a truck just like mine. Yeah when my Toyota dealer called me and he's kind of a friend he said I got one for you it's a manual and he knows I've driven manual my whole life so he said time to ditch the automatic and start shifting again... I love the truck tho. And I love it how the transmission fluid is so easy to change even easier than your oil change 👍👍 have fun with your guy's nice ass trucks. I really like that voodoo Blue & the Barcelona red looks nice also mine is the Blue crush metallic & bare Bones truck no packages at all no sonar sensors or leather seats but it's got the side steps bed lights all weather floor mats mud flaps. So it's got a nice clean look on the outside & I put Carhartt seat covers & tonneau cover bakflip mx4. Looks hella clean love the truck
Can you only get the manual with the 5ft bed?
Yeah manual is only a 6ft bed option with the 4 door
265/70/17 is a 31.6”
You are correct, but the off road comes with 16 inch wheels making it 30.6".
@@chrisfrey5905 ahhh yes never thought of that
Get the TRD lift, heritage grill come with it.
For 4k, no thank you. 2500 in labor is a scam. I got an actual lift with top of the line wheels and tires for only 500 more. No brainer!

Too much talking
Sorry!
Don’t buy a Toyota truck they are being designed by ex Chrysler engineers. Mike Sweers has destroyed Toyotas quality reputation. Own a 2016 and would never buy another one. Howling rear end, squealing idle pulley, leaking coolant on back side of motor from a plastic transfer pipe which will go bad before 100,000. These are poorly designed trucks. Look cool and that’s it. Hard to see out of. Leaking tri lights above the cab. Squeaking clutch pedal, squeaking suspension. I could go on.
Alot of the problems the 3rd gen had are fixed up in the newer models. First year the 3rd gen dropped 2016. Had these issues.
