I liked your true, real world review. I have the same color truck in 4x4 TRD OR trim. Real happy to see you using your truck fully, and enjoying it. Thanks for the vid.
Like that color man. Mine is a Grey 2016 SR5 4WD access cab with 47k on the odo. 1 previous owner and dealer serviced. I feel I was fortunate finding it. Checked every box. I live in Iowa so I had to get the chassis sprayed/undercoated as the salt etc here during winter is gnarly
@@Nick_ADV 👊 🤙 can you recall if you mentioned whether or not you change your transmission fluid at a particular interval? Considering changing mine at 50k as well as the diffs and transfer case what are your thoughts on that?
@@AR47X420 yup i believe I did the differentials at 40k because I was going on a cross country trip the following week and wanted to make sure they were good. Transmission fluid I did at 50k. All pretty straightforward to do. I think i watched a RU-vid video on it first and its easy with the right tools.
My 17 has 201000 ,besides brakes, headlight bulbs, my routine maintenance. Zero issues. Still getting 25 mpg average . Tons of miles off-road , in the woods. Running trapline, hauling firewood. Love the truck.
My 97 has 341k. It i's currently in a 'trusted' Toyota shop for a new clutch to replace original clutch parts, a leaky steering rack and some front end parts that are definitely aged. Made a long AF cross country trip from Chicago to top of lower Michigan all the way to key west Florida and up the east coast to Quebec city, to fort Kent Maine all on the back highways. and then back to the western Midwest with a leaky rack
@@Nick_ADV it could probably go quite a bit further, since its not slipping at all yet, just the bearing chatter has become louder and more constant! its mostly a highway truck so the clutch pedal is not used much for long periods
Man you got the exact Tacoma I want, quicksand with the access cab. I want a 4 wheel drive one and put 33s on it and a slight lift. Worried about only getting 15mpg though. Might just get a GR86 or a Corolla. Gas isn’t going back down.
Yeah man its an amazing truck but you are right about the gas. In the colder months i get around 15mpg. Now in the summer I get about 18mpg. And thats on 265/75/16 tires.
Yeah I have a 2021 sr5 4x4 in the dark grey crew cab I’m at 25k miles it does drink gas a lil bit but in my opinion it is because you sort of end up lead footing in city driving because of the transmission everyone knows this thing searches gears and if you go long distances you will get better gas mileage because you are going a constant speed I plan on tuning mine with the overland tune eventually but I love mine man it is worth it to me go test drive one and see if it is for you reason I got mine is because I wanted to get one before they swap over and lose the reliability the new one looks good but the engine change will take years to iron out and the new tundra is ugly to me
