I CAN'T Believe I Tried THIS with My Brand NEW TOYOTA TACOMA!

- In todays video we take my 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road out to a giant hill to test some off road features. We compared 2 wheel drive VS 4 High and low along with crawl control. To keep it fair the tests were done under about 5mph and each test I got farther up the hill. Only two modes made it, 4 low with locking rear and crawl control. This is such a capable vehicle in the stock form, can't wait for lift and tires!

Lol there’s always someone with a steeper hill and better driving skills. Good information guys, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
As simple as this was, it was the most informative out all of the videos I've watched so far about the Tacoma TRD's capabilities. This video answered all of my questions. Thanks.
Thanks, It really is just a demonstration on how the different systems work
I have a 2017 TRD Off Road. I also have that book Arizona Backroads and 4 Wheel Drive Trails. I've driven several of the moderate trails listed in the book. One of them was the Outlaw Trail, which seemed like a high moderate. At the end of the trail I realized the Tacoma had been in 2 wheel drive the whole time, and I had no problems on the trail...Amazing vehicles...
Sold sold sold!!!
That’s why i bought my 2018 Taco 4x4 off-road... will test it on my soon... love Taco brothers
Why do they called these beautiful Toyota trucks tacos?
Good job guys, we appreciate effort and love for Toyota
That was great. I have the 2020 version of that truck and really like it. I can't wait to see what it's like this winter.
The Tacoma is a great truck!
Low abilities from the driver side
Great demo! I just bought a 2023 Tacoma TRD 4X4 Offroad. Its so rad to see what she can do. 😎
When you get behind the wheel of one of these, you do feel like you can go anywhere. 1979 1st 4wd mini truck. Toyota has it going on. Great vid.
My 04 Dakota RC 4x4 with limited slip has handled such hills quite easily with no fancy electronics. Love my old truck.
Neat video showing the different functions of the 3rd gen it needs tires thou badly my old cooper mts did great when I went off-roading in them a year or so ago currently run ko2s now
Thanks for sharing guys.
Surprised no one has said this. Offroading really depends on the drivers control and inputs. The moment he gave it more gas or momentum it didn't have any issue as traction is controlled.
Good example is crawl control which just means the computer is the experienced "driver" in that scenario.
Just my 2 cents.
Lokey yeah i was told crawl control is cheating
The type of tires play a big part. Here keep a nickel I hate pennies 🐨
Amanda eagle- 4 hi in a tacoma is for snow on road or mud on a well beaten path at higher speeds. 4 low is for climbing and crawling where max torque is needed. You could put a lot of stress on the gear box by using 4 hi that way
Lokey- crawl control is the automatic transmissions attempt at being able to "ride the clutch" in a manual transmission truck. Automatics have always been limited in that once a tire spins when traction is needed it will continue to spin until you push the brake. Riding the clutch let's you find the sweat spot between too much traction and not enough.
Except crawl control can add or subtract power to individual wheels, no driver can do that.
Great examples. I am not a big fan of using the crawl control for off road. The reason why is because I want to drive my vehicle...not let the vehicle drive itself. Though I wouldn't mind having it as a last ditch go to if you are really stuck though because I have seen some amazing videos of it getting tacos out jams. Thanks for posting!
POPPASHANGO isn’t that the point?
Nice vid Guys, showing of what the truck will and will not do in certain drive ranges on this terrain. I think the wrap dresses up the truck nicely. Now I hope Mike and Brian don't get mad, but I like the color to, as it is closer to Duke blue than Carolina blue.
lol we're cool with either team. Plus the vinyl does a good job limiting paint scratches/chips.
Impressive guys, can’t wait to test out my 18’ OR, just need to get out and find a place. But not to many places here in East Texas.
Cool video guys. Have a '05 4x4. Looking for a 2018 trd off road. Luv the truck. Just awesome.
Thanks for the great honest test in this video!
Glad it was helpful! This was a fun day testing out the stock Tacoma! Truck has come a long way since this vid!
I could get up that with my legacy wagon. And my buddy from Colorado used to go up a hill like that in his pontiac grand am.
I used the crawl control in my driveway , just to see how it worked. It is very busy and makes quite a racket.
seen any of these tacomas stuck in the dunes when we have our raptors out there, they just don't make the power to push paddle tires unless you but the supercharger on it
These boys need to get in the hills more lol
Great vid..I wonder how it would of done in 2wd with Rear Locker????
I can only use the rear locker in 4wd, since it's not a 4x2, it won't let you do that! You have to be in 4low in order to engage the locker!
Crawl control..Thanks for the video..didn't know if Tacoma's came with lockers.
my altima can go up that
Drive it like ya stole it will !
Nice test. Good job guys!
The best thing is to just go fast don’t be scared. Got the same truck and without even switching to 4wd did some massive valley hills
Yea that's a way to go also! Just depends on the situation I guess!
That seems like a cakewalk for a good driver
Another great video. Would have been pretty cool to try 2WD with auto limited slip on (trac control) off. In my old Tacoma I would try it and it worked. Too bad I never filmed it. Again thanks for the video.
Does this model have A-trac? It would be great if you would show a pic of the tires. Isn't this the trim with the high end Goodyears? Thanks for the video.
What's with the noice it makes when it was coming downhill with craw control on?
This is why I just bought my 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD off Road 4x4 last Tuesday, great video brothers. Can you make a new video of how the truck is doing please??.
As far as offroad or just in general?
I would love see what the 2003 Tacoma can do with diff/lock can do on the off road
The great thing about Tacoma’s, the resale value compared to the other brands. How bout them apples?!
Santanna Guzman Sr. exactly! Shits on everyone else
If you have a good truck you dont worry about resale value 😉
They are also so much more reliable and cost less to maintain. I stopped buying the american cars and trucks 15 years ago.
Lol 👍
Shoulda bought a ZR2, front and rear locking diffs with a hell of a suspension. That’s why I did, but I’m glad you guys are actually using the truck off road.
awesome! review glad i subscribed
What is the black color on the doors and the back ?? Can u share where u got them from plz

Vinyl project we did
I think my XT could handle that, impressive nonetheless! Awesome vid guys!
Thanks guys for the video. Last year I bought a "peanut butter" Tacoma EX Cab, one the I could afford at $31K. I need it to last the rest of my driving days so currently it only has 4600 + miles. I would never risk "Sandee" in this way, but it's good to know what she's capable of when push-comes-to-shove! Just for fun, my other 4X4 is "Vanessa" ,a good ol' '89 Toyota LE van. When I first bought it 20 years ago I tried it on a hill close to that steep, but my yellow streak started to show about half way and I eased he back down. Keith L.
Tacoma TRD Sport manual 2017 here. This means I don't have the rear lock (only the auto-LSD) nor the A-Trac system - which appears to be the same system behind automatic climb control. This helps a lot in complex offroad scenarios, and IMHO is the most significant feature behind the TRD Offroad banner.
Anyhow, I'm pretty sure 4LO alone without rear lock would also made its way up if taken a little faster.
I have to say I’ve driven up hills like that all the time in my Z71 Colorado Ext Cab V7 easily. But I do have the Goodyear M/T tires. In hi range no problems.
Whats that black thing on the side
Is that to protect the body from debris?
I like that
I did a climb that steep with a mix of rock and sand in my 2017 ram in 4wd low when it was stock. It handled it just fine with the rear lsd but those tacomas have everyone beat on approach angle. Even with a level kit on a ram its not hard at all to scrape the front
Like the vinyl addition on there!
Is crawl control the same as atrac we have on Toyotas in Australia ?
Tony Appo yes. Just a few extra sensors but its the same. Uses brakes for spinning wheels
Can you lock the rear axle while in 4 high or is it just 4 lo.
Just in 4 low.
Great video. If only I could afford it!
I might have missed it, did you air down?
jvh22a no, just normal pressure
We’re you pressing on the gas heavily? I’m wondering what would happen if you gave it more gas
I was! Had to take traction control off because that limited throttle control, but I gave it a good bit.
My front locker says it do more while it scrapes the hitch.
didnt try A-trac? or does the off road trim not have it since it has the locker?
I have the 2017 trd offroad 4x2 just wondering if my truck could had made that hill with the rear locker engaged?
Old Timer yup would need a bit more gas and a rollin start
Waste of a truck
Great vid! Thanks 👍🏼
Glad you liked it!
Where did you get the vinyl for the sides?
Metrorestyling.com
Do you have the TRD cat back exhaust system?
AFE cat back
Don't you have A-Trac? My FJ does and it's my go to on hard stuff.
Back before fuel injection carburetor run out of gas I remember my truck used to just shut down on a steep incline like that, GMC
What are those black plastic on the doors?
That’s vinyl lol! I’ve done a few different designs on the truck since this!

What package must you purchase to get Crawl Control ???
It comes in the trd offroad & pro
After I gave my 89 to my son, he took me up one steeper and taller. Freaked me the fuck out, saw nothing ahead but sky. Getting it back this weekend.
Nice and steep hill. I hope the new ones are as reliable as the old ones?
Enjoyed the video....too bad you didn't have a Frontier Pro4X there so a comparison could be made.
Dude just lower the tire pressure and don’t be afraid on giving it more gas, MORE GAS!!
On stock tires? Nice.
Yup, can't wait to compare with the new tire setup when that comes!
What happnened to the bed cover?
Had it off for the week since I brought the CBR for some road trips
Bro I live super close to skating bridge road! Just got a 18 tacoma trd off road we should hit some trails up something
Good job with test👍
Thanks! Always fun to test the capabilities of it
How much did you pay for this beast? And what’s package and options come eoth it?
Great video
Looks like my driveway. My Taco makes it with snow on top.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but cameras don't pick up depth and steepness at all, from experience it'd be wayyyy more steep irl, sure not pushing it to the extreme level, but then again it was a brand new truck
Thank you guys for this video, i think i am going to start saving my pennies.
It's a Toyota you better save your qaurters pennies will get ya an old ranger lol
Nice test.
Why the all that noise going down? Was that Bcuz the craw control? Thats weird mines never did that on hills like that.
Yeh that first one was in CRAWL. Since I was on the brake too, I was technically messing it up
You gave it quite a bit more throttle on your second attempt with the rear Locker. The same amount of throttle in 4 low and you probably would have still been good.
My test for the ideal 4x4 is 4WD in granny gear down a hill without touching the brake. If it holds me back without speeding-up, and I crawl down the hill, we're good.
Great video! This makes me want a Tacoma. I already have it’s big brother the Tundra and love it. Please make more videos like this I really enjoyed it! 👍
I used to have a 2011 Tundra SR5 and now own a 2017 TRD Off-Road Taco, I can tell you this thing is leaps and bounds ahead of that thing except in the one very obvious department, power. The Tacoma has it, especially if you press the ECT-PWR button, but the Tundra was such a overly responsive beast that I have come to abhor that lack in ponies. However supposedly several companies are working on supercharger kits as we speak for the 3rd gens so fingers crossed.
The current Tacoma 2GR-FKS V6 is a stop gap until the new Dynamic Force V6/10 speed auto comes out. It pulls hard if you rev it. The 6 speed auto in the Taco is geared tall so the combo is a little lacking. The Tundra and 4 Runner will be also be getting new Dynamic Force powertrains. The 4 Runner with the old 4.0 V6 and 5 speed auto runs much better than the new Tacoma with only a minor penalty in mpg.

Don't waste your money, get a REAL truck like a Dodge!!! Preferably a 1978 Dodge Power Wagon, it's the best truck ever made!!
I had one and it would go up that hill easy in two wheel drive!! Excellent diving skills help of course!!! But it's the combination of both that get it done!!!
Detroit truetrac in the rear would of done that in four high, and also you have awesome traction in everyday driving. Locker is better when you have a wheel lifted.
very nice video bud :)
How u go out of breath going down hill?
Going up hill.
Also, excellent video. Demonstrates well each of the modes for the Tacoma - 2WD, 4WD Hi, 4WD Lo, 4WD Lo Rear Locked, and Crawl Control (Rear Locked?)
Thanks! The goal of the vid was to see the differences
Excellent video.
Nice test. Need to upgrade tires. Those manufacture tires are not cutting it for me.
real good for stock tires
Toyota should pay you guys for such a wonderful demonstration lol.
Hahaha that would be cool!
My old 2002 Taco Pre-runner with 2 wheel drive limited slip one wheel wonder would have climbed that, but at a run with momentum!
Left foot brake and baby the throttle. Hill conquered.
Why do I hear all these weird little noises when it's crawling up and down hills? Please tell me normal? I feel like something's breaking when it's doing it. Is there anything to worry about with those noises that I hear you think?
I think it's just the leaf springs squeaking a bit
You guys do the best capability tests for this truck Ive seen but lets make them a little more real world driving conditions with a little momentum and more speed. Think you'll discover some more real life advantages to the truck.
I guess my comment a time ago should have suggested that you take some of the air out of the tires...
I think you need to try going down that hill in 1st low gear. Should be able to do that without needing to brake.
Take your foot off the brake going downhill when using crawl control. The system is designed to give you a controlled descent just like how it'll get you up a hill.
Great vid
I quit watching when he asked if the hitch is gonna clear the freakin dirt.
its a brand new stock truck ding dong, lets see you buy one and do that right away
mine was wheeling first week up to crown king
Hilyard Holler I quit watching when oh yeah the title!!! Buy American!!!
@@philllsxga.7737 Are you low in neurons, boy?
lol anyone who knows anything about trucks WONT talk shit on a Tacoma... it just doesnt make sense.
Taco's are incredibly capable trucks! Go toyo!
Yes they are! Since this video I have done so much more trails and obstacles with the Tacoma and it keeps impressing me on what it's capable of doing!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i love hear peoples experiences with these trucks!!! Everyone, I mean everyone who owns on regardless of mileage had only positive experiences. Your video sealed the deal, ill be getting a TRD-PRO. Thanks again pal✌
@@artakmovsesian2360 Congrats, you will definitely love it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed thank you brother
Lol, is this what yanks classify as 4wding? A little dirt mound on the side of a road
runnin start and 4 hi would've been more than enough
Damn city boys lol that's a dirt hill not a mountain. Get some exercise if you can't even walk up and down that small hill
Can you guy test drive a new compass trailhawk and take it to that same hill and see if it will make it up?? Bring a RAV4 too! Lol
You boys need to come out west and play with the big boys on really hills and you might want the bring a real factory build off road truck and learn to drive
Nice job guys, but I would have liked to see you crawl down the hill to see how it works
There's a short between the seat and steering wheel
