- We finally get the updated 2024 Toyota Tacoma to review! And we start with a very important question. Did Toyota improve the Tacoma or ruin it in the new redesign?
We start with a fully detailed technical review of the Engine, Hybrid Trim, Transmission and 4WD system. Then we take a thorough tour underneath it. We look at the inside and outside. We discuss some things we like and some things we don't like and finally we discuss if you shoudl consider one without a V6 or not.

This Tacoma as shown has a price tag close to $50k after everything's said and done. For a midsize pickup, that's a lot of money.
This is a 4x4 xtra-cab SR5 with the upgrade package. It is closer to to 42K
@@jmpattilloeven that is insane though dude. I bought a new 2020 TRD Sport loaded for less than $39,000
@@DDubb007 It’s expensive for sure, but judging by the recent inflation, it’s not much more than equivalent trucks from other brands.
yeah and with a super complicated 4 cyl turbo idk if its a good buy
@@jmpattillostill a lot...should be like 30K
Here I am, yet again, watching an hour long review for a vehicle I have no intention of purchasing, ever, simply because I KNOW I will learn something.
Please keep up the good work and congrats in advance on your 1 million subscribers!
I have the intention of buying one, but in 2044
If you bought one you would rust proof with a quality product anyway cheap insurance
@@sc3ku it won’t have a refresh till 2050, you should wait
lol@@paulhunter9613
This world may not be around by that time or your health/mental state. Buy it now and don't wait, nothing is promise tomorrow. @@sc3ku
My brother-in-law just bought one of these; he is 67 years old and this is his first new vehicle. He paid $45,000 for it out the door and was just bragging about how it drives and performs. I saw him at Wendy's yesterday and he was driving his old Ranger in the drive-thru. I asked where his Tacoma was and he was pulling his boat out of a lake and it sounds like the same thing happened to his truck that happened to the TFL truck. He has it at the dealer now. His was made in Baja, Mexico. Scotty Kilmer is going to have a field day with this one. GREAT VIDEO!
He kinda already did, he posted a great review of the new Frontier
@@davidwelday3276 There you go!
Yah they won't be as reliable since it's made in Mexico and let alone a Turbo crap little engine!! Love my 23 trd!
@lvsqcsl Already at the dealer? For what? What year Ranger does he have?
@@michaelcarson8375 He told me the front drive axle CV joint snapped while he was pulling his boat out of a lake. He had to make it up a muddy incline when this snapped. His Ranger is an '02 without 4WD; he wanted 4WD to do hunting, etc.
This is how new car reviews should be done. By people who know previous generations that can outline what’s new, what used to work, and what used to be problematic. Love this.
And not mention a word about how much worse the new model is.... absolutely stellar. Turbo repair costs, engine is 3 times more expensive, other channels new tacos breaking, and a massive msrp increase.
@@uploderpilot Yeah definitely a biased review. Based on the reviews of the other channels. I wouldn't touch this truck with a 10 foot pole. I have a 2010 Tundra. My next truck will be a 2021 Tundra which is the last year without a turbo.
My 2020 Tacoma has the V6 engine so I get the best of both worlds. No power AND bad milage. Perfect!
You will get a good laugh reading all the comments lamenting the disappearance of the 3.5 V6 and its legendary 'gearhunter' transmission. 😉
Now you can buy one of these and it will get a little bit better mileage, a little more power(maybe), but wait, there's more! You can also get the reduced reliability and bugs that need to be worked out as part of the deal!
@@Doomzdayxxthis turbo 2.4 isn’t even remotely new. It’s been used in other models including Lexus. He even mentions that in the video.
@@johncho8766 Cool story.
@@Doomzdayxx read what you wrote and what I wrote and ask yourself which one is a statement and which one is a story.
The only reason for replacement of v6 with turbo-4 is government mandated mpg and epa emission standards.
yeah its scary...the government, who are not engineers and know nothing about cars, are forcing manufacturers to try and pull a rabbit out of a hat....this will sacrifice the integrity, longevity, and price of cars
Spending this enormous development cost on the V6 instead would have yielded better real world MPG.
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 "sacrifice the integrity, longevity, and price". That's exactly what they want. They don't want you to be able to buy a simple vehicle that will last for 20+yrs and 300,000+ miles. The US is a consumer based economy. They want you to consume, then trash it so you can consume some more.
@@cantwealljustgetalong2the government who aren’t engineers also are pretty much responsible for the fact that you won’t die anymore in a 30mph crash and your car will get more than 15mpg, and pollute less.

I've never seen anyone explain cars and trucks like this guy. He is entertaining and easy to understand. Great quality content!
I enjoy driving my 86 toyota pickup 4x4 22r because it drives like a tractor that won't die
If I wanted a new Tacoma I don't think I would hesitate to buy one. BUT I still love my 2007 Tacoma with the 1GRFE V6. 265,000 miles and runs like new. No oil leaks and doesn't burn a drop of oil. Since the truck has been in Louisiana all of it's life there is NO rust on the frame.
I'm much more concerned about someone crashing into my truck than having engine failure.
My 95 Tacoma 3.4 V6 399,800 with no major issues
Any advice and keeping the vehicle running for that long? Want to make sure my 2019 reaches that age 😅
Same.. 2011 TRD Sport. Still going strong.. but only 160,000km on it.
Change all fluids when your supposed to/basic maintenance. Every year or six months check everywhere with a flashlight. Make sure to listen for new noises periodically.
2010 Tacoma with 190,000 miles. Runs great. Bought it used with 115000 miles on it. All I've done is oil changes. Wasn't sure if transmission fluid had been changed so I left it as is
No doors on the Access cab is a deal breaker for me. As a work truck, reaching over the seats to store or retrieve cargo is a pain.
Far and away the best review of the new Tacoma I’ve seen and I’ve watched a lot of them! Great job!
I'm simply amazed at how much you get done in such short time spans. From fixing cars to doing reviews, all expertly done and with so much patience. Unbelievable. Much respect 😊🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
he did mention once he works 80 hour weeks 😬
That tundra video he did a couple weeks ago was mint 👌
You pay for quality
Truthfully if you love what you do, you'd be reluctant to take a vacation. Other than the famous "you'd never work a day in your life" (too much of an exaggeration)
@labourlawact7826 I enjoy watching his videos for THAT reason.
Anybody who has owned an access cab type pickup where the rear doors don't open will tell you it's really a pain to live with. The access doors on my 2007 TRD sport get used every day and a fold up rear seat option is a great option in a pinch.
Agree, I own a 22 OR AC and use the rear doors every day, if they offered the doors on a 24, then i might upgrade
Plus in the past the tacomas were half the size and double the quality and like 1/3 the price
As do I with my 2005 TRDOffroad.
I wouldn't trade access cab for a double cab just because of the ease of access to the stuff in the back. I don't know how many times I would have to walk around a door if I had a double cab
I love having an ext cab in my '17 TRD because I have a larger box. I don't have kids and don't carry people so I don't need 4 doors.
I looked at a 2024 Tacoma that wasn't too highly optioned just a middle of the road pickup. $56,000 before taxes ! I understand the "upcharge" because I'm in California but I could rebuild my '96 Tacoma ex cab several times and spare me the $800 per month payment.
Been a ford engine mechanic for 35 years, You did an amazing review & very thankful. Considering one as my forever truck...
I would wait at least 2 years. You don't want to experience what guys with 2022+ Tundras enjoyed as they waited for a replacement engine while Toyota pretended that engine failures were extremely rare and initially accused the customer as being at fault.
@@hochhaul Too late, have a 2wd 4 door sr5 in white sitting in my garage.....😁
@@robertdimeglio7880 ☠️
Assembled in Mexico is a deal breaker. Toyota has sold it’s soul for cheap labor and raising prices just like GM and Ram
Yes, because when I think of the best auto workers, I think of Americans 🙄. I’ve had both Texas and Mexico assembled 3rd gen Tacomas. You couldn’t find a difference if you tired.
My new silverado was built in flint MI.
@@sinister184well… what about the vin? 🤣
Id rather have it built in Mexico than America. There are much more faster and higher quality workers there than these Americans.
UAW is killing US made vehicles.
My family has been a Toyota fam for almost 5 decades for a good reason. Any Toyota we’ve had with just basic maintenance and being on top of it at proper intervals has lasted my fam 20+ years.
I have a 2022 Taco SR5 V6 well proven engine, don’t think I’ll be going turbo anytime soon here.
Thanks for the awesome Taco updates!
toyota isnt the company it once was
@@cantwealljustgetalong2 I do agree, however, it’s still much better than some other companies out there that have really gone bad.
@rockkstah2550 ive always liked toyotas. my grandmother bought the first toyota in the family in late 1987. which 20 years later ended up being my first car. my parents have been buying them since 1998 and bought their current one in 2014. i just see a lot of things in the newest toyotas (after 2010 or so) that i dont like...looks like they are all about making money now, its very difficult to change the transmission fluid now, and you cant even check the fluid level yourself anymore, you must bring it to a shop. or back to the dealership which is what they really want. also the quality over all has gone down, the last toyota i owned myself was a 2006 camry, my moms 2014 feels and looks so much cheaper than my 2006 did
@@rockkstah2550That's a really low bar to step over...
overpriced 4 impossible to fix and an expensive disaster to keep
Purchased a new 2022 TRD Off Road with V-6 and MT almost 2 years ago for $38,500. Happy with what I have.
purchased 2022 frontier 4x4 for $30.5 OTD, happy with what I have, it blows Taco out of the water. It may be a tad bit less reliable but at the end of the day, it is Frontier!
@@slothypunk blows it out of the water? Lol not hardly
@@tedbell4416 to you maybe not, but after test drive and compare feature vs otd price, to me it's indeed blows taco out of the water in difference!
Love your channel AMD. But I disagree with you that the 4 CYL is an improvement. I am willing to bet that the resale value of these newer trucks will be lower than older V6 Tacomas.
Hello Mr. Car Care ! Writing from NJ. As an automotive svc pro for 30+ years, I have to say your videos are FANTASTIC.
It's crystal clear you are a real expert and master of your craft. Please keep telling it like it is. SO honest. Absolutely refreshing. THANK YOU !!
Funny how they redesigned the front cover to prevent oil leaks, but now there are so many layers from top to bottom that could leak. Valve cover, cam tower, cylinder head, block, bed plate, upper pan, lower pan. That’s a lot of mating surfaces.
I’m pretty certain 2GR timing cover reseals covered the down payment on my house. Good for me, but bad for the owners.
That's a lot of "opportunities" for stealership service departments!
As a technician myself. This is the Tacoma review I’ve been waiting for!
Very complete review. Thank you. Your review convinced me to keep driving and enjoying my 07 Prerunner AC V6 for a very, very long time.
CCN, It's easy to see Toyota is Paying you for a Good Review...
I wouldn't accuse him of taking money but he does have a strong Toyota bias and has mastered diplomatic speech........
The lack of an Access Cab is a deal breaker for me. Having to reach over the front seats to get to the back of the cab is a PITA. Crazy but a 2023 TRD Off Road 4X4 is cheaper than a 2024 2WD Tacoma.
Right. You can hardly find more value in the new gen than in the old one. If you want an access cab with 4 doors, V6 and 6ft bed, get the Frontier. I got mine fully loaded, 4x4 for 39K. Powerful engine truck like driving, just great. The only think that is trash is the back up camera, it has less definition than the Minecraft game.
Yeah I agree, removing the access cab door is dumb. Hey Toyota, this is a truck!!
Finally, the only person's opinion I was waiting for, I adore my 3rd Gen w/ the 2GR but very interested to see what Toyota has done with this new generation.
The fact Scotty Kilmer, the biggest die-hard Toyota fanboy recommended the Frontier over the new Tacoma’s shows the confidence that the powertrain gives.
Thank You Ahmed! As always an excellent informative video! And congrats on the 1 Million Subscriber mark!
Makes me want to go buy a 2023 V6
Best year tacoma
That is what I did
Or a Nissan Frontier
Exactly what I did.
I bought a 2022 SR 5 Taco New , no regrets.
TFL broke their new 2024 Tacoma.
Yeap ! lack of Key RAW Materials in its constructs = These Worthless TRADE WARs that Only HURT U.slaves in the END.
That means nothing. They did break on the truck, it's a new truck first year build, they did towing right away with it.
@@glow4417you're kidding yourself if you think it's nothing. Guarantee you Toyota engineers got their hands on it to determine what happened
they also have broken various other vehicles. So have millions of people. Not a deal breaker. Theres no recall for the front running gear so could just be a one off issue
You didn't even watch the video.
What a great review, I just bought this 2 weeks ago and learned so much. Thank you for your in depth analysis, I love when a real mechanic goes through with the pluses and minuses.
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers in advance, you deserve it! Because of you, I and so many others are way more informed about our cars!
Simply, the best review of the 2024 Tacoma to date! Well done AMD!
I wish every mechanic was as knowledgeable as you are, thank you for detailed overview.
I am a mechanic and I would never buy a EV, Hybrid or turbo car or truck.
Congrats on a well-deserved 1,000,000 subs 🥳
AMD you are freaking amazing. Your knowledge is insanely good. Thanks for all you do!!
They ruined it cause they overpriced it. Also the manual says you have to let it sit for 1 minute after a drive if you drove over 65mph to prevent damage to the turbo. Thats not a good statement to put in the user manual. Ill be keeping my v-6, runs great and no 700+ payments.
Interesting, the Chief Engineer said in an interview that it doesn’t need to be idled as it has an electric water pump to cool after shut down. but he didn’t mention a high speed driving exception.
the one minute idle has always been a turbo thing though. A huge issue back in the 80-81 Turbo Trans Am days even
Really? That's pretty common actually. It would probably be a damn good idea to do in your vehicle as well.
@@sc3ku and yet they still require a cool down, just like the old days of the ‘80’s turbo. You would think that they would have spent some time and research, and then a few bucks to get rid of the old ways of 40yrs ago. Other manufacturers have done that at least
If you’re paying 700 a month you can’t afford it.
I bought the v6 trd pro in solar octane 5 months ago with hardly anything down and my payment is $1,200+ for 48 months 3.99% through Toyota
Price ALONE ruins this truck.
couldnt agree more... toyota has lost their way
couldn't agree more, toyota has lost their way in the past 15 years
It’s 2024 not 1980
Price of all things are high now, including other vehicles.
Which compact truck will you buy instead? (If not now, 5-10 years from now)
This is the most detailed overview I’ve ever watched on any vehicle..kudos
Almost a 1M subs! Wow, I remember when I subscribed when this channel only had 30K subs.
So close to a mil! This channel deserves it. I remember subscribing at 200k
I am sure the power and economy are up but the turbo creates heat, and heat creates degradation. It will not last like the old 2.7 or the v6, the turbo is another thing that will go wrong in the future and cost a lot to fix.
But you’re going to get the typical Toyota has reliability comments
Truth. Turbo will probably last along time, but eventually will break negating any gas mileage savings you get. The positive of the turbo 4, is you get more power.
Will a turbo’d Toyota engine be more reliable than a NA Toyota engine, probably not. Would a turbo’d Toyota engine be more reliable than most other NA engine from other makes…probably lol
time will tell
@@chibbyylol taking a turbo engine and putting a Toyota or Lexus logo on it doesn’t automatically make them reliable. Just like taking the b58 and putting a Toyota logo on it in the Supra won’t make it Toyota reliable like a corolla
Man ive been waiting for this video since this truck came out I love the technical breakdown and cant wait to own one of these
Congrats on hitting 1 million subscribers! Well deserved sir.
I’m gonna get the 2030 Tacoma. Should be solid by then.
By then you won't be allowed/afford to own a personal vehicle unless you're super rich
These tacomas make me want to invest in hot tub time machines and go back to 1986
"Solid" right. "Solid"
Pass on the turbo wave and their bloated price too.
wise choice
over priced super complex avoid it
@wallace3953 if this is mechanically complex, you need to stay FAR away from anything German. This thing is mechanically simple compared to the stuff the Germans are putting out now.
You're gonna wait until everything is EV then 😂 goodluck
@@beexiong2995 at this rate t anything is possible lol. What are they smoking? Who will be able to afford this when the shtf?
The thing I don't like about stamping letters into a panel for tailgates is that those can get minor damage and what may have been minor body repair now the panel, if not the whole tailgate needs to be replaced depending on the design. All the little things like this people don't realize that raises your insurance premiums.
You havent realised this vehicle was made to be complex and expensive and hard to repair
CCN please keep us updated with the reliability/ issues that come up with tne new Tacomas. I know you will. I'm in the market for a Tacoma or Tundra and your reviews are the only ones I trust. Thank you for all that you do. 🙏
This is why we will keep driving our old Tacoma's and Frontiers.
I simply can't believe that a high pressure turbocharged engine is going to last 300k miles, as the old 4, 6, and 8 cylinder did routinely.
All vehicles have parts that will need to be changed out by age or mileage. With proper maintenance, the engine and transmission will out last the body.
Volvo 5 cylinder turbos last 300k easily for 30 years since they turbo'd that engine. Turbochargers last unless oil changes are too infrequent. This engine shares a lot of the tech of that Volvo engine had but with roller cam followers and direct+port injection and the new vvt cintrol system that has been used 10+ years on somenother brands with success.
You’re right. It won’t last. It will start burning oil at about $100K. Downhill from there.
@@jimmyaber5920 diesel. Not gasoline.

Congrats on hitting 1 million Subscribers! Keep up the great work and very cool video's I've a subscriber since you were doing videos in your home garage. I tell everyone I know to watch your channels if you want to see what all real mechanics should be.
Wow coming up on a million Subs I've been here since the beginning congratulations
Simply the best most informative critique of the New Tacoma! Nobody dives as Deep as "The Car Care Nut" when it comes to Toyota's Thank You for Sharing your knowledge and explaining so Clearly.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
I guess we'll see how long these last; I won't buy until longevity proven. Scotty also thinks it's a mistake.
Same. I like the interior, but I'll wait for these trucks to hit 300kmiles
I’ve been watching since the beginning. Congrats on 1M! This is the definitive video on the new Taco. Looks great but still makes me want to keep my 2010 Rav6 V6 for as long as possible. I love that engine.
I respectfully suggest you keep your V6 RAV4 forever!!🥳🥳
Watched you since the beginning. Knew you would hot a million. Well deserved 🎉
TFL already broke theirs. Take me back to the 90's...
Any truck or car can break, especially first model year.. And you are not supposed to tow and go off road until truck or cat is broken in.
@@glow4417 Ford guys told me the same thing when my F-150 broke the first time...
The 80's and 90's trucks were pure gold! So simple and reliable, what a truck should be..
@@glow4417 I keep watching TFL hoping they did a 1000 mile oil change. They are really torture testing that thing. But its kind of cool to see.
they didn't break it, it broke by itself, they were just driving it and using it for what its made for
Look at ALL those hoses! NO THANKS. I WILL STICK TO THE 4.0 V6!
Toyota has been putting some variation of that I4 turbo engine in the Hilux and other overseas models for over twenty years. It's dead reliable and as durable as any Toyota engine. Toyota is not Ford or any of the other truck manufacturers. They don't just drop new engines in the US market. I know everyone loves the 4.0 V6 but it's a dinosaur. Underpowered and horrible gas mileage. It had to go eventually.
They are still using the 4.0 in many vehicles overseas and the 4Runner. It is powerful, reliable, and fuel efficient. It’s still a very modern engine. That being said the 2.4t is a better engine that has a good track record.
They are appealing to their main target audience of mall crawlers and those that drive a dirt road twice a year. Smart business move but really sucks if you off-road or want a Toyota truck for the ruggedness like older hilux’s, land cruisers, and tacomas.
That was the first thing I though of was when seeing under the hood. There is a crazy amount of hoses and wires harnesses. You can't even see the engine.
@@donm2255 All vehicles have wires and hoses. The V6 was same. I take it you’ve never worked on engines.
Now you have less moving parts. One head instead of two. One head gasket instead of two. Four pistons and rods instead of six. Only one head of moving parts instead of two, so timing chain is less stressful.
Smaller engines means, more room.
Paid $10k for 2007 Tacoma PreRunner with 208,000 miles.
Runs great. In great shape.
I could buy 4 of these and still come out cheaper.
in 17 years the 2024 tacoma will also be cheap
@@JD-yx7be awesome. Does your Time Machine run on bananas?
@@Jake-pq3izhe uses bananas to gratify his sexual needs
@@bielmelichartes2167 and it will still be running in 17 years with little effort.
Love the Tacoma review and feel better about the 4 cylinder now. Happy for the soon to be 1M subscriber for you my friend, you deserve it.
My 2006 TRD Off Road 2X Access Cab with 6ft bed will be 18 yrs old next month just under 180K miles was $27,387.00 with dealer add ons. Still running strong. Retired now so there’s no way I could pay twice as much for a new version. New ones are pretty but I’m just fine with this one. Have a nice day.
Smart. Same story I want with my 2024 Pro Tundra !
I saw TFL broke their new Tacoma and I'm hoping it was just a fluke. Still may wait till 2025 for mine. Regardless, I'm here for a proper deep dive from TCCN because he never disappoints.
There may be a difference with the 4wd hi vs the locked 4x4 mode. Hopefully it's covered when they look for the problem on their channel.
There's always going to be something that breaks in a new truck. Truth be told since that happened, Toyota covered the repair. As they should because right now that's a huge magnifying glass. The same thing happened to the 4Runner the year they got rid of the V8... nobody wanted to buy them, until 3 or 4 years later when they saw, OMG they last longer than before. :) I have a 2020 4Runner and glad to see they will make it easily to 245k average (based on 20 year history of registrations). I have confidence in Taco as well as the Tundra proving themselves as well. I'm just not buying them until they make it past the initial build year stage.
It’s not a fluke. People are already having problems with the 4WD and that Turbo 4 Cylinder is not going to last like the V6.
Finally, a million subs!!! Party time and show us that gold CZcams plaque!!!! You’re a rock star!!!
Woohooo on 1M subscribers - well deserved!
Nice truck , too bad I will never be able to afford any new vehicle. They should have put a sliding window in the back. Great & thorough review
The amount of times I hear “high performance” and “high pressure” and “vaccum pump” tell me 100% without a shadow of a doubt this drivetrain has an expiration date.
I can just look at it and i can tell you a brand new ones days are numbered a lot shorter than they used to be numbered to
Nah. These will be built to last. It’s quite simple technology. Toyota has been making 4 cylinder engines last for half million miles for a long time.
Yep. When ecobooost came out I told everyone they would blow up, my friends didn't listen. Spoiler: their ecobooost blew up
@nkyryry Did you miss the other 100 times mr car care nut said "simple", "basic" and "old school"?
@@Revy8 I know a few people with first gen 3.5 ecoboost with over 200k miles on the original turbo, one has 350k miles after turbo replacement that is just now on its last legs. The ecoboost is a huge improvement over the 5.4 3 valve those are junk despite being a far simpler design. They have a much better low end torque then the 5.0 coyote also which is what you want in a truck
Fascinating analysis of the engineering changes! Really like this kind of content.
It’s interesting to see how many “features” of the VW EA888 have been adopted, eg, cam bridge, the way the cams are controlled by solenoids on the side.
Wow. This is amazing. I am lined up for a new tacoma so super informative. Thanks.
Just bought a 2024 4Runner, made in Japan and v6. Turbo-- no thanks
? Is that possible?
😡
I am on my third Toyota to go over 200K. It's now something I expect when I buy a Toyota. I love the look of the new Tacoma but am extremely concerned about the turbo lasting over 200k miles as a daily driver. I'm going to have to wait and see on this
Warning: don't buy, u will regret
Great review AMD! Thank You!
Again, excellent review, this truck is beautiful. I see you're getting VERY close to ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!! LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY, CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU DESERVE IT!!!! BRAVO!!!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🧨🧨🧨🧨🎇🎇🎇🎇
Pass, I love my 2014 Taco and plan to keep it for a long time.
Yeah I wish I could travel back in time and slap some sense into myself when I went in to trade my 2nd gen for a 3rd gen. It's been all downhill since I gave up my 2nd gen.
You are an excellent reviewer AMD ! Congratulations on the very soon upcoming 1 Million Subs! Extremely well deserved sir! Regards from 🇨🇦
Nice overall major improvement and solid truck. Very excited for this. Solid positive review throughout
Thank you for your comprehensive review. I appreciate the detailed explanation you provided. The only constructive feedback I have is that there were some instances of repetition towards the end of the video.
AMD, you must have recorded this a while ago. We have been shipping these to dealers for several weeks, and I'm a bit surprised you only had a prototype.
They're definitely taller and longer, making them a little tougher to load on the transport. Excellent review, as always.
Your videos are very good and comprehensive. And kudos to you big time for talking about the price of these things. They’re pricing a lot of customers out of the market.
Going to hit 1 million subs any time now! Congrats to you and thanks for reviewing this truck. You're one of the reasons I even bought a Tacoma back in 2021. See you next month for my 30k maintenance :)
YEA 🎉🎉🎉 1 MILLION ❤🎉🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I have been waiting patiently for you to do this video..
I was about to say the same. I watched other videos and all I see is drive reviews .
Glad I was able to get my '23 V6 Tacoma just in time. Bottom line: A smaller motor putting out more power means more heat and shorter life. They figured this out in WW2 with the big aircraft radials.
Yes, and in WWII the useful life of those fighters was only a few months. Engine lifespan mattered little. What mattered was raw speed.
why didn't you get a 1980s tuck that made like 150hp out of a small block v8. The 3.5 v6 is an incredible complex engine on its own dual overhead variable valve cams, direct injection, aluminum block, 4 valves per cylinder. The Ford 300 (4.9L) is considered one of fords most reliable engines many with over 500k miles made 110hp in the 80s. And too make the argument even more ridiculous the Ford Model T had a 2.9L engine making 20hp. More goes into engineering than just power per litre.
Congratulations on your 1 Million subscribers!!! "May the Lord Bless You and Keep You"
Dave Letterman used to say, "Will it float"? Today I ask, "Will it last?"
I liked my last 2 tacoma trucks, but my 4runner nightshade has it all and hands down the best vehicle I've owned....
What color is yours? I wish the nightshade was still available
999K subscribers. You should be very proud! Congrats.
One million already.
I love you reviews, very informative. The 2024 Ford Ranger review will be very interesting!
At 33:02, this seems like the part that may have broken in TFL Truck's Tacoma they purchased. Their follow up video mentioned that it was some sort of actuater that engaged the front diff that broke.
Having this in the same shop as that 4th gen 4runner in the background really emphasizes how well the styling on the 4runner has aged. I would take one of those over this taco any day. Less to go wrong.
People want mpg, but ill be sitting happy in my 5 speed 4.0 for decades 😜
AMEN!!!
I think Americans have a problem with constantly staying in debt and buying new vehicle's. People spend so much money on cars in their lifetime. It's astonishing what people who buying vehicle's that cost 40 to 70k. And keep traded them every few years are actually paying in their lifetimes. I have a paid for 3rd gen. A 1995 silverado 5.7 tbi that runs good. And a 2017 camry. All are paid for. And all are in good mechanical condition. I'm done buying vehicle's for at 10 years. Because I wised up, and realized I needed to do other things with my money other than constantly buying cars. I habe owned 6 vehicle's in my 12 years of owning a car. And frankly I have spent enough money buying them to buy a brand new house straight out. Now let that sink in for a minute. I encourage anyone else that gets in this mindset of always got trade and get a new car. To think about just how much money your throwing at it. And pay off whatever you got. And out that money elsewhere. Something that will better yourself. And not keep you in debt.
Smart. Now if you have money to burn, you got to admit it is fun!
You know why? because they're morons! They do it to impress their friends and family so they don't look cheap in society.
I love the technical breakdown of the mechanical features in terms of what’s new/ changed, really wish someone did that specific breakdown on the new Colorado
Excellent review on the 2024 Tacoma. Wow, I learn so much from your very thorough and easy to understand explanations. I have a 2018 Lexus RX 350, and now I want a 2024 Tacoma because of your review haha. Very nice job sir.
Can't wait for the iMax review, Best review of the new 2024 Taco I've seen so far.
Nice to see the tacoma upload.
You're the man i wanna hear from.
Can you do the new frontier next?
This is a Toyota channel. He doesn't review or service other manufacturers.
@@MonkeyDelicious Yes he does, look up The Car Care Nut Reviews.
@@fraxonthefurry21 thanks.
I agree on the gas cap. I have a locking cap on my truck for the same reason. Great video review I hope you get to show us an off-road model as well. Thank you!
Great explanation of why the tfl taco front diff blew up. Thank you.
These trucks are no longer made to last 300k miles or more.
Current 4 runner is the only regular vehicle that can do that easily
I've seen many 1st gen ford 3.5 ecoboost last that long with proper maintenance, 2nd gen have fixed many of the issues of the first. Toyota is much more conservative in engineering and likes to do many small continues improvements. I have no doubt this will end up a great engine maybe just stay away for the first model year or two
Outstanding review! Most testors just do driving & towing, etc. People these days want a 1/2 ton truck with a 20,000 pound tow capacity! LOL.
Relaxing, informative and inviting.... Thanks!
I bought one of these and took the engine and drivetrain completely apart to make sure what he said was correct.
