- The Tacoma is a truck icon from Toyota and 2024 it was redesigned. On the outside of the limited trim you will find a silver grill, 18in chrome wheels, automatic running boards and power tailgate. On the inside you will be greeted by a full soft-tex interior, sunroof and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 paired with a hybrid system, and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited i-FORCE MAX the BEST midsize truck ever built?

Sorry Joe, they are a sales catastrophe. I believe that the turbos and cheap Mexican labor will be the downfall of Toyota Tacoma. I guess no one wants to buy a $33,000 vehicle for 65,000 how crazy is that?
Exactly
I know right!
So they reduced the cylinders, didn't significantly increase the gas mileage, got cheap labor, and expanded the prices, and wonder why they aren't selling?
Drink that Kool aid. The trucks are fine, don't believe the clickbait.
This is a strange thing to say. Toyota has sold about 70k Tacomas this year so far. That's few thousand short of Colorado/Canyon/Ranger sales combined YTD.
57k for a Tacoma ?! Oof what has this world gotten to
For a Taco?!! Please talk me off the ledge!
Great Reset BS
Also doesn’t come with a v6 😅
@@Eminetics next year tacoma will have a 2 cyl briggs and stratton motor with 4 turbos and a 55 inch screen.,.......and a flower vase built into the dash.
You have to see the price of the TRD PRO!
I would go for Ranger Raptor for that price.
@henrybrar - 100% agree!
That is where I would spend my money!
Good call!
ill cop da yota
If a dealer didn't further jack it up 20k I'd agree
The day I decide to buy a $60K+ truck with a 4-cylinder engine is the day I'll give up driving.
I see what you did there
I don’t know Joe………I see a lot of Nissan Frontier’s on the road. It may be the new Taco
This is so very true!
I'm a die-hard Toyota fan, but they need to start adding an asterisk next to the most reliable brand right now..
That is a good point based off of recent happenings.
Only new Toyota I’d buy right now is their sedans. The Camry is still a basic non turbo engine with a hybrid.
Sorry Joseph my main man but I gotta give a humongous ZONK on this ride!😳
The quality sucks, the price for the 2024 Tacoma Limited i-FORCE MAX is over $57K and there is still no ventilation for the rear seat and no armrests. Production in Mexico, where an employee earns $2.75 per hour of work and after the Tundra accident, i.e. 250,000 trucks have engines that need to be replaced, I will thank you for an engine so complicated and troubled. TOYOTA is ending!
Thanks for sharing your insight and input on this one.
Don’t worry, the sun will rise tomorrow😂 and it’s not like all other makes aren’t recalling the shit out of a lot of vehicles they make right now. I think Toyota has earned the benefit of the doubt if there is an auto make, that will get the bugs worked out it would be Toyota now American brands on the other hand, they put a lot of stupid gadgets and gimmicks in there to get you to buy them but they’re just throwaway trucks hopefully Toyota isn’t going down that road.
250,000 ? Proof?
As a long Toyota fan… I’m disappointed and would go for the Nissan Frontier pro 4x or Ranger Raptor
Ranger Raptor is the ticket!
Love the Tacoma but I'd rather have rear air vents than wood finishes. I mean, this is the top trim.
I'm biased on the wood trim, but agreed rear air vents especially on the top trim is a ZONK
That would be a good trade!
Especially for the price tag!
Even the base Camry has rear vents, lol
It’s one of the main things I look for when shopping now. Having kids and no rear vents is not a good combo. My base model f150 crew cab was $10k cheaper than this and it has a v8 and rear vents. Larger, more capable, but less bells and whistles. Less crap to break IMO.
4 CYLINDER TURBO. Boo! Nissan frontier with naturally aspirated v6 just looks better and better.
I agree. Nissan still makes a solid truck.
I just bought a 24 Frontier Pro4X. I love it, turbo free.
NA V6 has as much power as an e-bike. The new Turbo4 has more power than our GX460 V8! 😮❤
@@magnoliap5824 Yes!
I don't like tacomas so I'm not a fanboi, but get real the Nissan is the biggest piece of garbage out there. Pathetic. Everyone online says it's the best yet no one drives them in real life. Payed advertisers. Nissan is a bottom feeder, always will be.
Watching this after Hurricane Beryl. Just what I need to cheer me up.👍🏿
I am glad that i can be here for you!
I like the last gen more as far as exterior looks. The inside on this is much better though. Also just too $$$ I'll take a canyon over it
Thanks for your great analysis of this Taco Blain!
You can get into a 1500 Silverado Duramax diesel for that price.
Still miss the V6 from last generation. If they gave this redesign with the current generation interior they’ll have my money. The 4 banger eh not my cup of tea
You are not the only one saying that!
Even the seagulls laughed at the tailgate button joke😂👍
I love what you did there
You mean Steven Seagal?🤔
I think they were laughing about the 4 cylinder turbo hybrid 😅 cute engine for the GF but let’s get real…
The infamous “sissy” tailgate!🥱
Wouldn’t buy this over priced 4cylinder at all.
I will stick to my 2020 V6 Tacoma all day
You have a keeper TacoRob!
Ive bought my last toyota....The whole lineup sucks, including the pricing.
Many people are saying that!
@@RaitisRidesis a reality, too much money
Toyota Tacoma limited no rear arm rest no rear A/C vents 😵💫👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻hard plastic on the rear doors 😵💫 joe and crew like always great video’s 💯🇺🇸
I'll still take domestic.
No rear air vents for the top trim is tragic.
Love your vids Joe! You're the best.
@@dsw.808 if it’s domestic you must realize that the Honda ridgeline is rated the most domestic build pickup in the market
I appreciate you having my back!
That is very fascinating John!
Am I the only one who hates having a big tablet in the middle of the dash? I prefer analog gages as well. It's all too much of things that are just unnecessary.
You are not the first to say that!
Agreed. Knobs and buttons - no need to take eyes off the road. Screens are annoyingly bright and it's just going to fail because of some update. Gross.
All this for $59,999.99
You are correct!
Not including TT&L and interest on top of the loan. Also, not including the GAP, and aftermarket insurance.
I almost stopped watching when you said 4cyl, when you said 57k i did stop. I'm actually looking for a Tacoma, but i'll be going to the used 6 cyl market instead.
I feel your pain!
Hate how the gov’t has so much say in what kind of cars we can drive
Sorry, Toyota really fouled up with this one.
Tacoma, for thar price ...no !
Good to see they are finally embracing the Hybrid power train BUT ...
Toyota engineers screwed up BIG time. With only ONE more MPG in the Hybrid, what the heck were they thinking?
HYBRID is for better Fuel Economy not Power output!
The tacoma hybrid should get over 30 MPG Easily combined driving. Similar sized SUVs can get 36 MPG with smaller turbo hybrid engine set ups. And those SUVs have beast modes (sport) that has all the power and acceleration you need .
So they totally set this system up wrong, so it has no real advantage.
Plus they are still using NMh battery instead of lithium, and stick the huge battery under the rear seat, using up all the interior cab storage. That battery needs to be UNDER the truck between the frame rails out of the way .
That and get the price back into the 40k range, or you can keep this thing Toyota!
The pricing is insane!
No Thanks Joe!!!! Toyota has literally Lost their minds
Toyota will forever regret taking the v8 and v6 out of their respected Tundra and Tacomas!
You can't say "All new redesign" and be in consideration as "The Best".
Jaw hit the floor when you said the starting price 😮 absolutely insane
Nice looking truck but too expensive for what you’re getting. Toyota did not pass down the savings from the cheap labor of their factory in Mexico, to We the consumers. Naughty!
What do you think the price should be?
@@RaitisRides Should be priced around $49K - $52k depending on options. The Ranger Raptor & Colorado Zr2 MSRP for around this & they are way more capable than the Limited trim. Ranger & Colorado are built here too. Love the Channel Joe & thanks for the review brotha!
50k and I would be a buyer, but 57k is a little too much to swallow.
Toyota new leadership is trying to make some money and lower their debt... they are banking on their reputation holding them several years
@@ghostplyr6346 I agree 100%
I loved Circuit City. I remember those old TVs that needed a good slap every now and again to function properly. We sure have come a long way. This is a good truck. I sure do like the Toyota reputation but I am more drawn to the new Frontier. To each their own. Thanks Joe.
Thanks for letting me share it all with you man!
I finally saw one of these in the Parking lot at work. Not sure how i feel about it. Happy 4th of July everyone. Keep it up Joe.
I thought that this truck would be very popular quick, but I’ve only seen one on the road compared to the new Camry.
yeah I have not seen many in my area yet.
When you get the $900 a month payment it will feel like a porcupine in your lap.🤣🤣🤣
845 Tacomas had issues with their V6's, I won't take that chance.
Dang and I have a porcupine ranch. Looks like this isn't the truck for us. Thank you Joe no one understands the needs of porcupines like you. What a SAINT!!!
This powertrain is really starting to scare me. I want a new 4Runner but 60k and all Toyotas problems need to be addressed better by this company
Same here I'm not buying a 4runner with this ridiculous problem prone engine and transmission
$57k for a 4 cylinder turbo truck is criminal. Dealers are smoking crack to think people want to pay that much for something that not even fully loaded. More tech means more to fail. Dealers should be ashamed of themselves for charging this much. Don’t know how dealers sleep at night 😡
Price for everything are just nuts!
Are you that disconnected from reality that you believe that dealers are the ones that set/determine what manufacturers ask for their vehicles? That is a serious question.
@@sawyermartin4434 it’s even worse because dealers are adding market adjustments and add ons. Crazy
@wadesnider5218 So don't pay a market adjustment & don't buy a truck with dealer accessories (or don't pay for them, if you do buy one that has them). It's simple. An asking price is an asking price, not necessarily a selling price. No need to cry or complain or act like someone is out to offend you.
😢 Not to worry. It comes with the Recall papers along with a AAA card right in the glove compartment for a free Tow back to the dealership. 👍😥
Hold off for next year and it will be a 2 cylinder quad turbo for $100k
That's a great truck! reliable, dependable, and that trim.
I've bought nothing but toyotas for 30 plus years but the problems with these and the tundras along with the ridiculous prices keeps me far away from these. The 4 cylinder tacomas used to be the cheapest model on the lot. Now the most expensive, Toyota needs to wake up.
2:18 The splitter is unnecessary to me, but I’m glad it can be removed, it’ll help with some ground clearance!
You better believe it
they finally found Jimmy Hoffa's body - new filming location lol. Tacoma Taco with extreme amounts of guacamole & sour cream. Happy Fourth of July to you Mac Daddy & crew. 🤓
LOL You crack me up Tony!
Looks sharp in black. That said, I don't think Roman, Tommy, or Andre at TFL are big on Toyota right now. They've uncovered some durability problems with the transmission and 4WD differentials. I've also heard about issues with the Tundra turbo V6. Probably affects the V6 Tacos also.
they broke an axel flooring it up hill in rock mode while on Ice
@@Mycameron2323 And then once they achieved their clicks and views, turned around and sold it. The Fraudulent Lane.
@@bobbbobb4663 But other channels are also reporting problems. I'm giving TFL the benefit of the doubt. PS Ray & Zach at CarEdge are also ragging on Toyota.
@@MisterMikeTexas I’m aware of other channels reporting issues but the root of TFL’s fraudulent streak goes back to their use of the ferry in the Alaskan F150 Lightning test.
@@Mycameron2323amen! 4low on ice?! 😆 My guess what what you said they had to be in rock mode... and MTS "snow mode" would've allowed more slip... then 4L on ice... smh
Best midsize truck ever built? Tacomas across the country aren't selling and having problems that are hurting Toyota's legendary reliability reputation. What's more is that this particular one is the worst configuration possible: 4 doors & tiny bed.
I think you mistiteled your video, you meant to say "most overpriced truck"
That will be the next Tacoma video.
Do you make so much money that you can ignore the spectacular increase in cost for 24?
Not at all! It is crazy what pricing on all new vehicles is.
@@RaitisRides if you let greed trump capitalism you will slow this economy significantly! Customers are being priced out of the market ...many customers!
I don’t understand why they only have full-time 4wd on the luxury limited trim, and not on the off road trims
That is really weird how Toyota did that Derek!
ever since ranger raptor came out it will forever be the best midsize truck
I like the way that you think!
I came here to read the comments.
Thanks for stopping by.
Being able to fit it into a parking spot is a good reason
Happy 4th of July Joe! It's Taco Time!
Same to you brother!
@@RaitisRides ;D
Its recalled before you even take delivery at the dealership!
Not to sure about that.
Why do you have some insider information or something? You’re speaking of tundra correct?
The tundra is recalled. The Tacoma isn’t, yet.
@@angelgjr1999 Tundra had issues for years... 2022-2023 they finally recalled... They will not recall 2024 because money is too important. They cannot legally sell brand new vehicles in the US if there is an open recall on it.. They didn't add 2024 because they'd have to stop selling them. They'll recall those in another year or two, and maybe by 2026 it'll be a decent extremely overpriced truck. To think the Tacoma won't have the same problems, when people are already complaining about failing transmissions and such, and Toyota leadership change and market strategy changes and their massive debt.... Toyota isn't who they used to be, don't be fooled.
I had 2005 and a 2016 Tacoma. After I saw the new Tacoma, I decided to get a 2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition. I got it for 2k under msrp. I dont go off road, so it is the perfect truck for me.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍happy July 4th month 🎉
I want V6 for the $50K+ price tag.
What is this? A prius?
I know how you feel.
I have finally gotten passed the tacoma hype, theyre asking for an arm and a leg 😮💨
First off, you should know by now that these new Tacoma's are not good. They have bad transmissions, only 4 cylinder engine that nobody wants, and are made in Mexico. The fit and finish is also bad. No one wants them, they are sitting on the lots, and way overpriced.
Joe just mentioned the new TNGAF frame. Some commenter on another channel quipped it stands for "Toyota Not Give A ____".
From recent reports Nissan sold 20,219 Frontiers from April 24th 2024 to June 24th 2024, or about ~10,109 units per month for May and June
Chevy Colorado sold 8,967 units in June, GMC Canyon 3,784 units and the Ford Ranger 4,703 units
Toyota sold 14,929 Tacomas in the month of June 2024 alone
Only reason Toyota hasn’t sold more is because of worker / staffing issues at the Mexico plant preventing production lol
Surprisingly CZcams videos of ‘car guys’ walking around a lot pointing at cars isn’t painting the entire picture lol
I guess they are having some serious first year issues!
2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Limited Double Cab Half Cab 4X4!
I really appreciate you being here Scott!
Counted over 7 blank buttons on the dash/center console on a TOP TRIM.....meaning you need to buy a TRD PRO to not have any blank buttons.
It is kind of crazy that is has that many! Good eyes on that!
not sure I'd call this the "top trim" ... its the 'old man' trim with all its chrome.
57k mannnn I'll afford something like this in 10 years
The pricing is crazy!
the "reliability" you mention is in serious question over many issues being discussed, and looking at the horrible reliability that is the "new" Tundra... Toyota isn't the company it used to be.. I wouldn't touch this thing for free... I'd sell it off and buy a Frontier.
Toyota is bending people over a barrel.... and Joe is probably gonna tell us what food we can fit in there after. 😳
I been driving Toyota for years...but went ford for the first time.and love it
It would be the the best midsize if people can sit in the back they redesigned it and people always complain about it and nothing was done
That is a great point to bring up on the new Tacoma!
Can you list the payload from the door jamb instead of listing the max? I don't think the Platinum with hybrid has max payload.
I want to see reviews of normal Ranger with 2.7 in it, everything been 2.3 so far
Is this title a joke?😂
Nope. The backseat is a joke. Overpriced. It may be a midsize truck but its competitors have a more usable backseat.
Joe I know something better then a pillow to put in my lap
LOL I love what you did there!
Hey Joe, I don’t remember you reviewing the new GMC Canyon Denali. Maybe you could compare it to this Taco?
Yes, please bring back the gutless 3.5L and bipolar transmission.
Also those 3rd gen seats were so comfy after 1hr. Of driving. Just Lovely
This is almost as controversial as asking which oil viscosity is the best. 😂
LOL Sometimes I love to stir the pot.
No v6 for a truck??? 😂😂😂😂
Don’t leave home without an apple so you won’t have to resort to cannibalism, great advice, thanks Joe. 😂
I am glad that i can share it all with you Elizabeth.
Give me the V-6 motor anytime 2023 4X4 long bed
Better get them while you still can!
Who would trust a Toyota with a turbo now?
Not sure I'd trust anything with a turbo, except a diesel. Turbos are like steroids. Short-term gain. Compromised hardware longevity.
Great question.
Not always the case.
Love your car video
Can't do it without you!
@@RaitisRides Np I love cars keep them coming
Thanks Joe, great video!
it would be perfect if they just added a few more hoses to the engine
Maybe Tacoma can go full electric next year. I can’t wait 😂
The Tacoma limited is the same price as a ford ranger raptor
im a perfectionist and picky when it comes down to buying a new car and the new tacoma and tundra is a truck i would definitely not buy .
Would rather have the GMC Denali. Better all around imo. Definitely the interior. 2 inch lift. Wide track. Starts about 5k cheaper.
It is always nice to have options.
I have the TRD sport and love it definitely no turbo lag and only complaint is gas mileage but no truck gets decent gas mileage and I love the underground color
Tailpipe on driver/fuel door side !?!
Hybrids and EVs are my enemies..
Many technicians got roasted from its EV battery
1KD FTV for the win
So you can drive on the beltway at 70 mph in this 4 wheel drive all the time limited 🤔 is it different from AWD
Too much money for midsize truck. Also the transmission are over heating.
This vs. Denali? Man, I would go proffessional grade any day
I love that truck
Happy 4th of July from DFW metro
Same to you my friend!
I like this model and the crome. I am 58, so it probably makes sense
Happy 4th Joe!
Thanks Luis! Same to you!
Gracias a usted Joe.@@RaitisRides
Yes it is the best midsized truck!
I traded a black limited of the 2021 model for a new Platinum Tundra hybrid
Disaster move.
Oh wow! Congrats
"there's a sucker born every minute"
Very nice looking tacoma the transmission are so smooth best pickup out there I'm so impressed with with the one I have ever time I drive it
I’m so glad that you like this one David
toyota $$$$$$
Wish front bench seats where an option. I don't like it with a 4 banger. V6 would be better.
I would not pay 50k plus for Tacoma mid side truck with a 4 cylinders 😂 I rather get Nissan Frontier pro top of the line for 44k all day . These Tacoma and tundra are collecting dusts at the dealers right now
