2015 Tacoma XRunner Review 

I'm a Nissan guy but when I seen this truck 8 years ago I was hooked.... And I now have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma x runner in my drive way since 2014 and love it to hopefully pass it down to my son who loves it as well.

Awesome truck I’ve been wanting this truck for the last 8yrs and finally got one. Pick it up with all the upgrades done so basically I just wash and wax n gas go beautiful truck I love the way it looks and the set up Toyota done an outstanding job with the XR too bad they discontinued these bad boys. But at least I got one and plan to keep this for a lonnnng time. Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽

Being you’re a Cali you can’t legally do headers unless they are Carb certified. But you can change the gears in the rear end. The gears in the X are a tall 3.13. Gears from a 2.7l 4x2 manual trans are 3.31. These 1st two 3rd members are the same and only work w/ 3.13 or 3.31 gears! The rest of the gears take a different 3rd member but the complete 3rd members can be exchanged. The next step up is from a 2.7l 4x2 auto are 3.58. Next is 4.0l 6 lug 4x4 & 4x2 ALL get 3.73. 2.7l 4x4 get 4.10. Again ALL 3rd members will exchange in any 05-15 Taco. It’s the same 3rd member that came in the 1st Gen Tundras & Sequoias & T-100’s. Just slide the axles out about 6” and pull out the 3rd member. You just need to soak the new Toyota gasket in water before the new 3rd member goes in. Installing lower gear helps performance and believe it or not fuel economy, It did on mine & I went to a 255/50 and 3.58. Plus when towing your truck will love you. Toyota doesn’t gear their trucks for fuel economy or performance they gear then for the EPA! The slower the RPM’s the less emissions a motor produces. Per an Toyota engineer I spoke with at great length! Oh the rear springs and swaybar are specific to the X and are not available on any other Taco. Oh when you wear out the 4.0l after 400,000 miles or so install a nice little LS w/ a Tremec for an E ticket ride!

I have 2007 X runner in speedway blue with 135k miles and it’s still going. No major problems and I love driving the Manuel everyday! It’s amazing. So basic but so amazing. I listen to am radio and even though the body is a little beat up, I know my power train is rock solid. Great vehicle, get one if you can.

X runner drift beast

Great video! I didn't know the XRunner was available until 2015 in Hawai'i only! That cleared up some confusion for me cause I know some people here on Oahu who have 2015 XRunners, but always heard the last year was 2013 or 2014. Also didn't know about the oil cooler setup, that's a game changer. Thanks for sharing!!!

One of my favorite colors for the 2014 model year with the updated fascia…

The small cup holder is for pop cans.

nice ride. love my 06 runner. about your question, the sway bars are that size from factory, including the xbrace in the rear, which is suppose to be where the x in runner comes in. Also, it is not not recommended to tow to much with that version of tacoma, cuz of the way the rear end and trans is geared. It has a tow limit of about 3000lbs.

A friend of mine had one but bigger tire all around cornered like a mother. I loved it now I'm looking for one. You never mentioned how it came from Hawaii. Small dealer where?? Anyway I ended up buying a 2006 tundra 4x4 extra cab 4 door great truck but sucks the gas... so I got my daily scion xb which is similar in cornering. I put the bigger tires and love that car too but I prefer a truck to haul stuff. Anyway gonna get rid of the tundra and look for a 2015 x runner. Disappointed on the gas milage you stated... but o well thank for the info

Love this truck! Saw this way back and knew I recognized you. We were chatting at one of Riko's meets about your Skyline. Still got the X-Runner?

I would like xrunner but i don't know rwd in Canada winter how its could be

I have this same truck in this color. Also have the Curt hitch as the Toyota hitch does not fit with the X-brace installed. I have the TRD shifter. It is very fun to drive and handles like a dream. The suspension was engineered by the TRD division and it is great. There was an optional TRD big brake kit but I did not get it. Also available at the dealer was the TRD supercharger for another $4,000. These trucks are going up in value. You didn’t mention but there is more stiffener bracing below the cab on the frame rails. I belong to the X-Runner Facebook group if you are not in there check it out. Yes mine is in Hawaii.

Great video man! You covered all the important features and details I wanted to see. I'm actually buying one of these bad boys in the same blue as your's, but it's a 2014 model. So stoked I get to pick it up tomorrow!

Bro what color is your tacoma?

I never knew about X runner! I going to buy 2012 US last version import. Practical! 100%

I just purchased an 07X runner and have been doing my homework for sometime now, and the X runner gets his name from a steel piece that is in the shape of an X that is at the rear of the wheels above the spare connected on the frame you cannot see it unless you take the bed off, I learned this through a X runner Social media club

My pops had an 06 trd prerunner with an access cab and the 6spd factory options. When choosing a manual you could pay extra and opt for 6 speed over the 5 speed

I wanna get one and throw on a Magnuson supercharger, smaller pulley, intake, headers, exhaust and a tune and just make it my Summer vehicle.

Pretty sick truck! Ill have to check it out some time. What are you hauling with it?

Could I haul couches/sectionals in one of these? Not a truck guy so I’m not sure what the rules are 😂

Do you have the details on the BBK, I want to upgrade the ones on my truck. I tried finding the caliper and the bracket. Thanks brother

Hey..... i am about to buy 2010 xrunner however upon getting it i would like to have the 2015 facelift done...... can u direct me to someone that knows all the parts needed and where to find them. Thanks

Does the x-runner only come in manual? I might have to teach my wife if no auto shift.

Yours didn’t come with the Tacoma bed liner ?? The rubber one

May I ask how much you paid for it ? We are in Hawaii and considering buying 2015 x runner for $23500 with 70000 milage on it … Don’t know if it’s good deal or not … All the used car price went up a lot due it inflations 😑💦

I have 2008 Tacoma xrunner. How do we contact Hawaii, for the 2015 Tacoma Xrunner

This is cool af

planning on getting one how much is a good price to pay for one, im not really familiar with the pricing of these

You must’ve put midgets in the backseat I have a 2005X runner and I had a hard time putting it a baby seat ... I love this truck I bought it with 103,000 miles it’s got 159,000 and I’ve had it for seven years and I put nothing but gas and oil filters and fluids

Nice

Fuel economy for this is 16/21. 21/25 is for the 4 banger manual.

HEY CAN YOU PLEASE GET A PART NUMBER OF EXACT NAME FOR THAT HITCH

Tacoma pro package has a skid plate

I have one and now problem star clutch noise pulled belts speed sensor not good eats a lot gas 2

I have a 2007 red with 60 thousand miles on it, I won’t tow anything with it, except for the brakes it’s still stock otherwise these trucks aré headed for collecting and classics and are hard to get even now

Let me know when you're going to sell it.

Been looking to replace my toyota 91 pickup since it has no ac and no powersteering and this is something i want, they're so expensive though.

Sooo no driving impressions? Isn't that the point of this thing, that it's fun to drive?

If you ever want to sell it let me know 😉

My camera is on the mirror :D

I'm getting one of these to do an EV Swap

If u didn't know u had to close the half cab door first u don't deserve any truck drive a Camry

What's your new instagram name now ? I have 08 xrunner , awesome daily. the supersprings review was detailed.
