You Should Review The 2021 Tundra TRD Pro
Yo love you guys you have helped me through hard times love your videos
We need more colour options in a ford lug pattern
tacoma trd is the best in class i think..
please review more Japanese vehicles...good luck💕
Who else thought they were trippin' when they saw Yuri and Jakub's faces on the hood?
Paul Martin 😂😂
Thought it was a camera effect
I was just thinking why are they on the hood? am I looking at the sunroof?
Bro I’m so high and so confused about there faces in the hood💀
I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.😁
Dear editor: the overlay of the two dudes on the hood is genius!
Thanks, -Yuri and jakub the editors
That's pretty 2001 too.
@@shubhaam3012 IDGAS, I like it :D
@@TheStraightPipes you guys do the editing on your own as well?
TheLast DragonBender that’s why we love them, that’s also how they maximize profits 😏
Take a shot every time Jakub says "my Raptor"
You'd be pretty sober
@@TheStraightPipes 🙄🤣
@@TheStraightPipes I actually went back and counted, because that's how little I've got going on in 2020. You'd still be "pretty sober" after 6 shots in 15 minutes? Remind me not to go drinking with you lol
Doesn't shut up about it
@@Vorael correct
0:15 nice transition, it’s the little things that count
Lol I didn’t even notice it but I keep rewatching it cause its super cool.
I appreciate that you guys drive basically every TRD Pro model every year! I’m in the market for a vehicle in this segment so these videos definitely help!
from a European guy ... that monster is considered "midsize" ? :-)
First thing I thought
A ram 1500 drove past me the other day, the thing was stupid loud, taller than our VW Tiguan, and looked like it was twice as long. Idk how that is even legal to drive in the UK
Lol you think the Tacoma is a monster.
@@ThatOtherDave Dude in Europe the Mazda CX5 is considered "big" ...
I'm American and this is still too big
I like this review format where you guys just take it easy through some trails. You guys should probably do this more often with off-road purposed SUVs and trucks. Keep up the good work!
how about they actually off road the vehicle. instead of taking trails that 2wd can get through. cool video and editing. but lousy review for off road.
That is a weird-ass picture in picture with the hood scoop. Is that a Canadian thing?
What else to do with a non-functional hood scoop?
In Russia, engine sit in seats
It's a fake hood scoop and they found a way to use it.
I like it
I like it
The front end of this thing with those new headlights looks 🔥🔥🔥
signdetres I wonder if the shape is the same so you can swap them on the previous years
@@Tempsho also w9nder that, I find the year before that headlights look better
Toyota: yesterday's technology at tomorrow's price
Exactly, too expensive
Lmfaoo true
Ranger is literally more
Cam Ranger is new Tacoma is the same old truck
So damn true. Their price is ridiculous.
Yuri’s enunciation of “2020” is next level.
*pronunciation
That One Car Guy nope. Had it right the 1st time. Thanks though.
I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS haha yeah. Yuri acts like the letter “T” isn’t actually just another form of “D”. 😂
I’m sorry I’m bad at talking 😢
TheStraightPipes no you’re actually great at talking.
Thank you Continental for your continued support, this is a great channel for your brand. Great show guys
I love how Yuri pronounces Toyota! And the crawl control launch!
The Mercedes shot kills me 😂
I love how you’ve gradually said “horsepower and torque” in a more and more aggressive way. It cracks me up every time! Keep making great videos guys!
"2001 technology"; sounds like Toyota all right.
Sounds LEGITIMATE for a Toyota......
ROMAN REIGNS more reliable than your Chevy Spark.
@@ronaldaiello6450 I never spoke about reliability?
QUIT COMPLAINING ON EVERYTHING
TRUMP2020
@@ronaldaiello6450 That's the only comeback for Toyota owners. Notice the brand has no awards to it's name. Asides from reliability, what else does the brand have?
Loved this Tacoma really beautiful! Hello from a fan from Brazil guys.
Brasil? Is that in Africa?
This thing is sick! I have a TRD Sport and I love it 👍
Every time you guys get into a Tacoma you complain about the seating position without considering the reasons for it. The high floor keeps the rocker panels well clear of rocks and logs, the feet out in front seating position keeps the roof and center of gravity low for stability over uneven terrain. I'm 5'10" and have no issues with fitting in my 2nd gen Tacoma OR.
I have a manual tacoma TRD pro (without the ISIS air intake) and I have 0 complaints. It runs like a boss and soaks up rough terrain. I owned a 2015 Renegade trail hawk and to many complaints to list from the dealership to the engine burning oil at 50k like a vehicle with 350k. Never buying from fiat.. I mean jeep again. Little know fact the manuals are made in Texas.
The editing and quality of these videos never ceases to amaze me
🤣🤣🤣🤣 The decision to put the camera focused on the two of you, up on the "sunhood”, and backward! Hilarious genius! Thanks for the laughs!😂😂😂
"Criminally bad" camera resolution. AGREED!
The video PIP on the hood is a rad touch. Thanks guys!
I’ve used a Tacoma as a daily work truck and surprisingly, it was pretty darn good for a couple of years, but I’d never use one for work again, ever though I’m gonna grab the TRD Pro for my personal ride; great trucks!!!
Jakub said "my raptor" 7 times
I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma access Cab trd sport 4x4 4.0L v6 automatic with 162,700 miles. All original drivetrain. The truck has been awesome, reliable, useful, great in all kinds of weather conditions, and great offroad. The Tacoma's are a great truck to have in my experience. I enjoy watching your videos keep up the grear work.
I have a 2018 trd pro, and a couple comments on your review: 1. The touchy brake thing happened at first, but it went away as soon as they were worn a bit. 2. the cup holder that was in the way of the shifter isn't a cup holder. 3, the head rests on the back seats will stow away in two holes in the back of the flipped-up bottom seat. 4. the trails are a lot of fun, but the truck really shines on desert runs where you get some speed. I enjoyed your review, though, thanks!
this weird shot of your reflection in the hood scoop is so Mystery Science Theater 3000 - which I've got to say, is oddly fitting for you guys
The tacoma trd pro is STILL my favorite midsize truck. Absolutely love the design of it and everything about it. I own a 4runner with the pre-2020 infotainment update and it doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t need some high def clear ass graphics and stuff like that doesn’t bother me. The infotainment is simple yet has everything you need. I don’t care if the resolution isn’t the cleanest as long as it works and keeps working which it has and will. I love the simple interior and the aggressive design and look of both the 4Runner and tacoma. I’d take the tacoma over a gladiator ranger Colorado anyday and I’m perfectly happy with my 4runner after all these years and would never trade it or sell it.
U care about the resolution, it’s just you don’t have the option so you settle for this.
What about TRD Off-road reviews for the Tacoma/4 Runner? You guys always review the much more expensive TRD Pro.
I was driving on the 403 and I saw Jacob in his Raptor toweing a jet ski. Oh man was he happy driving that thing. Smiling with an arm out the window and sunglasses on. Gave him a wave and I don't think he realized he made my day
Thanks CZcams for sending my notifications late
They probably didn't. It gets posted earlier for certain people first, then for everyone else.
Apocalypse487 oh yea I forgot about that I just don’t understand how they get it early

Last night i was actually thinking getting a Tacoma perfect timing 🤣
Tundras are better in every way. besides a couple mpg....get a prius if ur worried about that tho
latinbeandip why would he get a tundra ? Based on what he is looking for he’s in the market for a midsize truck not full size
Got rid of my trd off-road because the transmission was god awful
@@latinbeandip people so negative lol
Same man, I’m so stuck between this or the 1500 sport
I also just wanted to say I love rewatching your other videos and I think I love when you guys did your road trip to see chrisfix and your cheap car challenge are probably my favs as you can really tell how much fun your having so keep the great work you guys are the best !!!
I have a '17 Off road in canada converted up and past Pro spec and I love it. Best truck I've had.
Cool truck BUT Toyota definitely needs "upgrade" their tires especially on the Pro model.
Our roads are is such a “good” condition that this vehicle is a perfect choice for the city driving in Toronto GTA area.
I literally bought my truck because I had to drive on a regular basis on Detroit freeways. I wanted the big tires and suspension to handle the abuse that winter inflicted on the freeways and roads. The asphalt cracks and potholes were simply too big for my Acura Integra. Winter driving just made my choice better and better.
I'm actually considering getting a tacoma simply because of bad roads in Quebec. I don't do off-road driving and I actually get car sick I'm not sure how smart it is to buy a truck but I really want a strong car that can take a beating without making me feel like getting dp'd on a pot hole.
I am happy that I live in a small city in BC. Good roads and all.
Can't go wrong with a Tacoma. Toyota is a bad ass company for something you need reliable. My grandfather when he was alive used just Toyota after his first Tacoma manual. Couldnt be beat down, ran over 400k mileage before he passed. And loved that truck! And it kinda showed an eye opener of some vehicles still on the road and give you the reliability you need for the best bang for your buck. Getting one soon here too, and even to have a little bit of everything now in these newer models... Awesome it came a long way
the tacoma has always been my dream car
I have this truck! Love the review guys
I'd love to see yuri's element do the off road course
this channel is going to be so helpful for people in 5-10 years trying to buy a used car, you guys are as close as we're going to get to a modern old school saabkyle04
Tacoma is the best car Toyota has ever manufactured. It is amazing
Awesome review guys! So glad to see you get to take it off road. But that one branch scraping over the cab made me cringe on a brand new truck.
6-Speed Manual for Life !!!!!! with a Magnuson SuperCharger!!
Is first gear basically crawl control? I was curious about this because the dealer couldn't tell me
@@lolsmol first is pretty short, but crawl control is the clutch pedal.
@@deavm so...I am the computer *puts on sunglasses*
The TRD PRO is for a guy like me, someone not mechanically inclined that wants something capable within my reasonable abilities out of the box from the factory. I probably would not change a thing to the truck. Well maybe the tires.
That edit where they are on the hood scoop... Give your editor a raise!
Me seeing this video thinking.....
*JerryRigEverything has entered the Chat*
Yooooooooo same dude!
Me too
If only you’d be able to get these in the EU, so much cooler than the Hilux!
It's to big for most of Europe
Mireaze But Ford F-150’s we can get here xD
I'm glad Northern Europe has Arctic Trucks collaboration with Toyota dealers where you get even cooler Hiluxes
TheEasyRail But imaging a arctic truck modded Tacoma! Bigger is better (at least that’s what she said)
@@Sondre3910 Maybe if you import it from the US but it ain't on fords site
This came up just in time! I am shopping for a Tacoma 2020 atm! Keep up the good work!
i got one two weeks ago, same color, you should od it!
2 years of ownership for my ‘16 Tacoma TRD Off-Road and I still love it!
Honestly when I think about it, i've watched almost all the TRD Pro episodes and I think it has something to do with the strong paint colours, they select
Check out Inferno! My personal favorite (but I’m a little biased because my inferno Taco is sitting in my driveway
THIS IS THE TYPE OF VIDEO I WAIT FOR
Was really hoping you'd review the manual version of this! good review nonetheless.
same cmon we need to see a manual tacoma review!
Literally this truck but with more control. If you like a manual transmission you already know what it does for you. It won’t be bad. And if it is you’ll still ignore it’s weak points.
Not to sound materialistic but this is on my bucket list! Been a fan of Tacoma since 96! I’m 36 now n I’m so to my dream of owning one!
The Toyota Tacoma already has been the best midsize truck on the market.
I really enjoy the offroad reviews! And yes keep the trd pro reviews coming every year! My buddy has a 2021 4runner trd pro on order. He will hopefully have it before the end of the year.
8:23 when you push the tint slider all the way to the left
That transition of the truck to you guys in the cabin in the beginning was dope.
Best video in a long time! Love when you mix it up.
Those automatic transmissions need some adjustments. Constantly hunting for a gear to be in.
get a manual then
LyricTravels 💯💯💯💯✅
Probably just buy a manual and make life better.
I drive my 2020 TRD Off Road in S around town and up to 50 mph. It locks out the overdrive gears and the premature up shifting is addressed.
@@lyrictravels2423 manuals are worse probably the worst transmission i have felt in a new truck or car
Resale values on these are crazy high. Looking to pick one up that's a couple year old and most are still going for over 70% MSRP
I can't even find a low mileage 2015 for under 25k
Hey you can get a cheap non reliable gm truck :) and another one 3 years after that
I bought a one owner 2013 Trd TX Baja for $28k almost 5 years ago - kelly blue book currently has it at $27k - crazy!
New to the channel, just subscribed!! I don't even like trucks but the review was so good and fun to watch, love the chemistry between you two!!
You guys went from reviewing 2004 Toyota Matrix and 99 civics then to reviewing rolls-royces and brand new Lamborghini it's crazy how much you guys have grown over the past few years
When they update the transmission.. then I'll buy one.
You are so right. I have a 2020 Off Road and all is good but hate, absolutely hate the transmission. Get Manual, for sure......I should have
@@samfromalbuquerque7235 whats wrong with it?
muhammadhaziq it’s not the transmission that’s the problem, it’s more just the fact it’s programmed for fuel efficiency. It wants to be in a higher gear than what most want. The fix for this is getting a manual, or on Tacoma’s there is this button that says “ect power” and it makes the truck wait to shift at a higher rpm.
@@samuelrowland76 The manual isn't any better. The problem is the engine. It's a Camry engine tuned for power high in the rev range which is not suitable for a truck with big tires. To make the truck enjoyable to drive you have to regear or drive with ESC Power (or whatever it's called) turned on all the time. I tried so hard to love my 2019 but it's honestly miserable to drive in traffic and around town.
Ethan Noel I re-geared to 4.88 and it runs great. Mileage is the same. I have a3” lift with 265/75/16. Sucks you have to do that, but companies are trying to hit MPG targets.
I found your channel from the 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro review, now here I am! For the newer one 😁
+ I’ve also got ur merch 👌
I love you guys driving every Trd pro every yesr
Toyota 2020: let’s use the same old body we been using in the last 14 years and use the same old engine as well. Oh let’s put old technology and charge the people same price as a new truck that has new stuff great hahahh
TheStraightPipes: Mid-Size
Me, with my bmx: *confused minecraft villager noises*
Your friends at Rev Media
Funny one ahahaha
"...my Raptor..."
Own a 2012 Chevy Colorado. Saw the brand new 2023 Colorado and wanted to trade mine in for it. It is taking too long to come out so I decided to keep my current Colorado that I still dearly like. Now I turn my focus to the TRD pro Tacoma or just Tacomas in general. 👍
The BEST 🙌🏾 Thanks dudes and editors!!!
I think Toyota cameras 📷 department members disliked this video
Owned this truck for a couple of months, great off road and every day use!
Why did yoy get rid of it?
Toyota are reliable vehicles
ramon guzman I didn’t, still have it and enjoy it!
ronal bonilla they are amazingly reliable
One of my fav automotive CZcamsrs 🖤
The Tacoma needs desert rally style bendy mud flaps. And the rolling/moving B shot footage is on point! Keep up the good work!
“With crawl control” ... plot twist lol
please review more japanese cars..💕good luck
Loved this review guys, I feel the Tacoma is a very popular midsize. So if you review it each year that is great.
Idk which of you does the editing but I felt like there were some pretty cool things in this one. The faces on the hood scoop kinda threw me at first but it's a cool way to still see you talking while also watching the drive. Random cutaway at like 10:55 felt weird tho, for a second I thought you'd played the outro early.
“Now” the best?! Been the best since 1979
I want one, with a 6 spd
The only way to buy a Tacoma!! URD-Short Throw Shifter with the Magnuson SuperCharger!!! LIFE!!!!
No manual on the 2020 or foward
RedBeard109 Toyota has zero plans to drop the manual transmission
RedBeard109 you can go to the Toyota website and build a 2020 Tacoma pro in manual
got one love it
This thing is so outdated. Both the Tacoma and the 4Runner need a complete update. The Gladiator Rubicon gives you so much more capability for your money.
If this isn't the the best offroad truck of this size, its for sure the best looking on the exterior, and most reliable/value holding. Essentially its a no Brainer in this segment
This will out live me.
Speaking of tech... Toyotas are the worst, however, don't underestimate Toyota's off-roading capabilities, when going to " mountains, sand, mud.... etc." I take Toyota over the competition any day, anytime..... (coming from a non-toyota fan) credit where credit is due....
MOAR offroad videos for sure! Great timing too for this video; almost bought one but loved your Ram Rebel video more and subsequently bought one.
As a proud Tacoma owner I can confidently say The Tacoma will be overthrown In the next couple of years.
Y dont you review affordable cars and give your opinion about em so we know the difference
We do
Nice truck. I really like my Chevy Colorado ZR2. I replaced the headlights with LEDs, tint and leveling kit. Very happy so far. No push button start is a giant fail, I can live with it.
Nothing better then a new straightpipes video 👌
the most reliable truck there is
Whats the opening music? Sounds like MGMT
I love the military green on it and how it can go where Jakubs truck can’t ( no offence jakub lol) great job guys showing all its cab abilities when off roading that camera dose need to be better though for sure
No offense taken, I even said it in the video
Love it when Toyota 4Runner and Tacomas are reviewed whether on road or off road! Maybe talk about some A/T tires too?
That's JerryRigsEverthing's truck 😂
It's a TRD Sport but yes
TRD Off Road*
ZR2 > Tacoma by far
That transition at the start
Had no idea about the platform in the back seat. I'm single and I'm always wishing my Taco had more room. Thank you sirs 👏👏👏
