2022 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition In-Depth Mechanical Review 

My favourite Car Lady & expert / review Channel on RU-vid! 👍😂❤️😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Wonderful video Sarah! The trail edition should come with an access cab/6 foot bed option. It is also worth mentioning that the coolers in the back are removable. Bed space is already at a premium with the short box!

Your right about the price point. If it was about 4k cheaper that would be awesome. But then you also have to figure in the quality of a Toyota on that 40k price.

May 4th be with you, Sarah

I really wish manufacturers would bring back small V8s. A Tacoma with a 6 or 7 speed manual transmission and a 4.0l V8 with the same technology this 3.5l V6 has would be about the perfect truck for daily driver duty. It would have around 300hp with a broader torque curve than the V6 for better acceleration and towing, and if you gave the engine cylinder deactivation so it could run as a 2.0l 4 cylinder at low loads it would have better fuel economy than the V6 as well. Unfortunately, nobody's likely to spend the money on tooling and R&D for this with everyone pushing to go all electric. I'm frankly disappointed with how quickly manufacturers skipped over hybrid technology in favor of an all electric future that our power grids and battery technology aren't likely going to be able to support for at least a decade or two after the arbitrary 2030 deadline most manufacturers have set for themselves.

Bilshhhhsteens. I love it when you speak German.

"price as tested $40k" We wish! Even at the tail-end of the 3rd gen, they're getting obscene markups. Great review, as always

Nothing like a Sarah video to watch before sleeping. Love the humor Love the tech stuff

Hey Sarah, about a second and a half before you said I wonder if a V8 would fit I thought same thing also wondering if you can mate up the V8 with the six speed manual ? don’t think Toyota ever had a manual V-8 none that I can think of in the US anyways. Sounds like a great project🙂Have a great one as always🐧🐧🐧👍

Tested one yesterday, exact model and color, they wanted $48k out the door. No budging either, market is crazy right now.

The trail edition doesn’t make sense when you can get a trd off-road model for the same price with more off-road goodies

Just bought my first Toyota last week, a 2022 Tacoma SR5. I love it already. I went with the V6.

You probably would have have made it in 2-hi with the rear locker engaged and a matting the skinny pedal.

Ah, the squirrel-part! Yet another genius Sarah-moment - you simply don't get things like that in other car reviews! (Same goes for the extensive off-road test - You are the only car reviewer I know of that actually drive off-roady vehicles in their natural habitat. 5 out of 5 squirrels for that!)

I see, Taco Bell bottoms. 👩‍🔧👖🌮

Bought mine used. Love it alot so far. Pretty simple nothing to fancy for a modern truck. Just what you need

In this episode, butt hurt came up and other things I found quite interesting. My mind was processing and there it was...yes coolers in the back of the truck! Now you can take your hurt butt and sit on a bag of ice! You're welcome! ✌️

That trail one should be the same price as an SR5 4x4 not more then a trd off-road

I have this exact truck. The reason i got this over the trd was because the first thing anybody does with a new truck is lift it and throw wheels and tires on it. This already has lift and wheels and tires.

This Taco is also great as a blank canvas for custom accessories. Like you, I'm drawn to uniqueness.

Can you put a Subaru Forester Wilderness edition on the lift? I know you reviewed it and a more indepth review would be great. Thx

A 2022 SR5 Trail Edition package without any additional options comes to about $41,300, fees included, on Toyota's website. You'd be better off getting a TRD Off Road. You get more bang for your buck!

Did you get your glasses back? No science without them? 😎

Seems like a pretty cool version of the Taco, though I agree it would be nice to offer the off-road goodies on a truly basic truck; especially if it could be had without the 4-door cab. I had a '97 Dodge Dakota that was probably about the same size as this (Tacomas of the '90's were a bit smaller), and though mine had the base V-6, it was available with the 5.2L V-8; that engine wasn't any wider or taller than the 6, just longer since it had another pair of cylinders. So I would think Toyota's smaller V-8 would fit, and they could do something truly awesome and offer it with a manual.

I was totally wondering if it was like the Cactus Grey? Thanks for saying that.

I miss the bolster test 😒

Great video as always Sarah ! I wish they would offer this with a double cab & 6 ft bed , or , they should offer all of the SR5 models ( how about all models ) with the rear locking differential . Like you say , no need for all that crawl control and multi terrain select and hill descent jazz , just 4WD and LSD with locker is all ya need .

The different selections 2H, 4H, & 4L on the hill really displayed capabilities.

That fire at 16:50 looks like a lightning strike caused it.

Love these Toyota trucks. Unfortunately we only get the Hilux here in the UK. As a matter of interest do Toyotas in the states have DPF problems like the ones who n Australia? We don’t seem to have any over here

Toyota should make a "Street" edition, so we can call it the "Street Taco".

Sarah LOVES the braking tests...😜😜😜

The frame and cabin of the 3rd gen is the same as the 2nd gen Tacoma. Of course the outer sheet metal is different. Just fyi

Purest edition for that base version you described. I’ve long wanted a taco 4x4, never once wanted an 6cyl or an automatic.

That background music at 1:19… I see that you are a woman of culture, Sarah 🍩

Taco’s are tasty. 👍🏻

I always like your background music. Granted that’s probably not what we’re all watching the channel for. But……

You hit the nail on the head. 4 cylinder version of this would be perfect. Thank you for showing the rear lift on these. No other reviewer shows how it’s actually lifted and I have wondered.

SARAH!!!!!

Toyota COULD offer a Hino sourced small diesel and had a new market, but no.... Now with the EV truck market heating up, we ain't gettin' a diesel Taco or Alaskan Wasteland any time soon.

SNIFF SNIFF SHORTS MECHANIC GIRL.😳

Love your videos Sarah!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Take my word for it, you don't want to touch a squirrel 😂

For $40k some hood struts need to be added!!😤🌰s!!

An in depth review that’s actually in depth. You’ve got my subscription. Mostly for petting the tire.

Hey Sara-Tune, when describing the FRONT brake configuration at the 6:08 point you said and I quote . . . "Prior Generation TACO" - 🤣 was that from TACO Bell 🔔 or phriggin' Del TACO Yo ?!? 🔜 🌮 🌮 🤣 👊

I'm here for the ridiculousness.

40,000 my ass that Truck is selling for at least $50,000. Used Tacoma's are selling for $40,000. Once the 4th Gen comes out the 3rd Gen will be selling more because the the 6 cylinder is going away in the new Tacoma

That's a pretty nice one : Sarah is driving a taco ... How long will it last till firsts improvements ??? 🤔 🙄 😌 Mericans !!! Dare, care, ride safe, clean, have fun ... From France with .

Sarah, this whole business of just offering this trail edition in the crew cab, no 4 cylinder option and mainly, without a six speed manual is just sad. Poor marketing doesn’t match their excellent longevity and reliability. Oh well!

One of your best truck reviews. Perhaps the best? And humorous too. Thanks

I played with the configurator on Toyota's website (a very confusing configurator), and found out that Trail Edition package is available on SR5 trim only in double cab, 5ft bed with 4x4 3.5L with auto only. No manual. Manual is available on TRD trims only. Similar TRD Off-Road manual costs $3.5K less then Trail Edition.

My 22 off Road M/T was 38 thousand and is identical to that trail but NO COOLERS in the bed I’m so pissed 😡

Any change will see a Tacoma 16-23 trd sport off road? Just to see how capable. For the people the dot have a off road package . Please

Wow! You look amazing.. great review.. 6 speed always 👍

You should’ve tried that hill in 2 Wheel drive with the locker in, it probably would’ve made it.

Please do a 2024 Toyota Tacoma trd pro review! On these hybrid

My friend has a 18 tacomama same color or close to it... cool trucks cool eye liner

I should thank you. This video last year was what made my mind up about getting this truck. Thank you

Trails aren’t available with a manual transmission and wheels are 16 x 7.5”….not 8” wide.

wait the wheel is 16x8??? omg i been told they were 16x7 so im trying to look for replacement before putting on 33"

I have a couple a dirt scooters. Can the cooler things be removed? IE quick release? Guessing not.

Was considering buying the Tacoma Trail but was unaware they don’t have a fully boxed frame. Had a 1992 Toyota xtra cab in high school and that lil truck had a fully box frame.

i got my 22 year old 3 litre Camry up hills like that down ere in outback Queensland, Australia.

SARAH, SINCE YOU ARE A EXPERT ON TOYOTAS, WHY HAVE I HAD 4 RECALLS ON MY TOYOTA COROLLA SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2017?

@Give It The Beans Would you be kind enough to reduce the sound effect for your title pls thanks

2022 Trd off-road in celestial silver is what I’m slumping around in and very happy. Thanks Sarah

Hi Sarah from Australia, this pick up segment is really going great guns in Australia, it's wall to wall dual cab utes as we call them here, our equivalent is the Toyota Hilux, and the Ford Ranger, both swap places month by month for the best selling vehicles in the country, much like your Ford 150 dominates sales there in the US. Great review, thanks 👍🏻

Those wheels 😍

the brake dimensions in the front and rear are a joke for this truck, I think Toyota is saving money in the wrong place.

sarah remind me of phoebe from Friends. i love sarah

we all know these Tacoma will end up with a machine gun on truck bed used by Terrorist. 🤣

40k compare to the Maverick’s almost 40k? Taco 🌮 time

4:18 Went to the Toyota USA website. Not true here 😭😭😭😭😭😭

The Frontier not making that hill in 4wd was pathetic.

It's got the center limited slip to (I think it's the center) would also help with 2 wheel 🤷

You are not ridiculous, Sarah, you are adorable.

I try to guess what ratings you’ll give and I get really close.

Can't get a manual transmission in the Trail edition. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Я смотрю этот канал из-за потрясающе красивой девушки. Восхитительная девушка❤️💞🌟

Toyota use to have a boxed frame until the big buy back happened and Toyota spent all that money

Unless you lock the diff you only have 1 wheel drive essentially

...fire? This is how it goes: people go with cars offroad, the cat. is super hot and it starts dired vegetation on fire

Mmm fresh AMOCAT! 🌮🌮🌮 Rotatoporato that’s….

I’m glad my dad got the 22 taco oR he’s said I can have it after I graduate from high schooo😂🎉

Once again a great video. I would love the trail but my 2019 trd 4x4 is paid off and cost me under 36k.

Over priced lol but not as over priced as used vehicles right now haha

I heard they shift horribly always hunting use a lot of fuel for being under powered

Sarah you missed something that cable on the a axle that’s STI pink at least through the camera it looks like it to me

Tacomas suck bawls. Fanboys; let arrows fly!

I will be happy when you forget to cover your mouth when you laugh.

Should have parked the Bronco next to the Tacoma to compare the color.

No front locker: fail Rear locker can’t be locked in 2HI and 4HI: fail C-channel frame: fail Drum brakes: fail

Hello, how can i contact you about the product sponsorship?

Mechanic sarah, are you a female? Do you use regular makeup?

POV you find your truck on BeansTV

Girl…sashay shontay in your bootleg jeans. 🤗
