Yup, Pros have been finally hitting the floors for a couple of weeks and this is the first video of a delivered 2022 Pro, great job Ben! In fact so quick, looks like the dealer didn’t even prep the car and didn’t add the additional added optional equipment window sticker to the price with the optional roof rack, bed lights, wheel locks etc…
Own a '19 Pro and love it been rock solid. First thing I did was get a good tune for it and it fixed the transmission mapping and a little more power. Makes it a new truck
Getting my TRD 2022 magnetic gray next week. Def going to to consider OV Tune. It’s not as speedy as my Ranger 2021 but I’m using it for off roading-not trying to speed on the highway.
WOW! First one I’ve seen! I’ve been waiting on this truck forever, hopefully this means mine will be landing at my dealership very soon! One thing though, that roof rack is not standard equipment. Thanks for the video!
I went and drove one at my local dealer; hovering between this & the Chevy Colorado ZR2 & Ford Ranger Tremor. The Tacoma has a good historical reputation, but my drive revealed some major flaws: Horrid seats & an anemic powertrain being the most prominent. I’d actually place this truck 3rd out of the three [couldn’t find a new Nissan Frontier at the time I was shopping]. Anyhow - the ZR2 offers better power delivery, ride quality, & features. I will say that all mid-size trucks need a major interior overhaul.
I would say that the major factor to consider is how long you plan on keeping the car. If you are getting the Ranger I would expect a major mechanical issue somewhere betweeen 20-120k miles. Colorado I would expect slightly better long term reliability than the Ranger. Simply because it does not have an ecoboost engine If you plan on keeping the car past 150k miles, I would recommend getting the Tacoma. The naturally aspirated engine will last much longer and overall the reliability could last you 300k miles. Also keep in mind resale value
@@michaelrichmann8399 Not sure yet 😂 I ordered one in magnetic gray but told the dealer I'd be open to white or black if they found one. These things are hard to come by! I test drove a lime crush and it was better in person than I thought, but not sure I'd still like it in a few years time.
Can't wait to get my 2022 super white in manual. Ordered it back in September 2021, it's worth the wait. Value goes up as soon as you drive off the dealers lot.
@@kurtzcol I order mine in Ontario back in August and my dealer still hasn’t heard anything from Toyota. When did u get your vin # and delivery date confirmation?
@@impondering5774 it showed up on my local toyota shops web site a month ago with a vin and expected arrival march and i got a verbal from the manager saying last half of march
If this is the last year of the 3rd gen.. along with the bed Pro sheet metal stamp exclusive for 2022.. this Pro could be worth $100k in the secondary market based on the last of its kind before the government/car industry forces us into electric crap
That engine struggles staying in the six gears that it has now. It would be hunting gears even worse if it was a 8-speed transmission. The problem is that 3.5 V6 is built around getting a better mpg than performance. That's why the 4.0L V6 is still a superior motor even at nearly 20 years old.
@@SuperSnakePlissken ummm it's a dinosaur powerplant with knuckle dragging neanderthal grade brum brakes and dotard reasoning to buy fake hood scoops for fifty grand when auto zone has them for way less.
@@aaronmonke6825 drums are fine and you don’t have to change them as much, i did mine in my 2000 tacoma recently and it wasn’t bad at all. Rear disc brakes usually have a baby drum inside them for the parking brake anyway I agree on the hood scoop though haha!
It's a pick up truck? What did you need it to do? Run a 10 sec 1/4 mile? LOL - If you're looking for POWER and speed, Pick up trucks are NOT where you want to start or base what you believe "powerful" is, on....I daily drive a Tacoma, the V6 has just about under 300Hp and it moves, I DEF get up to speed with NO issues....
Compare to my Ranger 2021 which have a turbo boost engine with 270hp/310 lb fr torque and can go from 0-60mph in 5 secs, the Tacoma is a bit slow. However I’m trading in for a Taco TRD off road 2022. It’s def enough for off-roading.
I was looking at the trd pro Tacoma before buying my 2019 Raptor. I like the Tacoma. Unfortunately, being a big guy. I needed something with more room.
I'm sorry but that's terrible at that elevation. I live at sea level and can get that with my auto 21 TRD OR. I visited Denver a few weeks ago and I was averaging over 30 mpg going 85 mph with a passenger and some luggage in the back.
Unfortunately I’ve had constant issues with my 2019 TRD OR, DCSB, V6, 6AT. Numerous mechanical issues, interior and exterior quality issues as well as reliability issues. Had to be towed twice. It has seen way too much shop time. Only has 26K miles at 3.5 years. I feel sorry for the next owner, but at least it won’t be my problem any more.
I put in a request at my local dealer back at the beginning of the year for a TRD Pro with a manual in any color but lime (sorry, not a fan). I was told last week the dealer was able to secure the only manual within a 1000 mile radius, and it has a build date of 5/16 and delivery of early to mid June. Couldn't be more excited and to top it off, I was able to get magnetic gray metallic. I'm curious as to how many 2022 manual Pros in that color actually exist. I read Toyota only builds 1200 Pros a year with ~1 out of 100 being manuals these days. I also heard about 85% are electric lime color, then black, then white. Is it possible I am purchasing 1 of maybe 25 trucks like this in the US? I am so glad I am securing this before the manual Tacoma is history. I'm actually still in disbelief.
Hey I ordered a 6spd too...jajaja I'm not a fan of the lime green too..I ordered mine in April and it's September and the dealer has no answer for delivery date....how do you like the manual? God bless
@@RichardNetworkRU-vid It's a sh%t show. I was told I had what I commented about, then bam, was told Toyota isn't building it with no explanation given (early June). Then I was told there is a grey TRD Off Road manual with premium package, so I said sure, why not. Then Bam, a month later told the same thing. Waited an additional 2 months and was told the dealer found a lunar rock off-road manual with premium. Build date 9/9/22. Still waiting to hear yay or nay. At this point I feel like it's 50/50. Good luck with your. I hope you have a better experience than me.
Love the video, has light on really made me cringe tho haha. Would love a TRD pro but I'm satisfied with my TRD OR. Waiting for it to come first week of April. Blue crush!
@@jeremycook9852 You can get a Ram 1500 Bighorn Night edition with pretty much everything I wanted extra added for around $66k. Been pricing things out last couple weeks. But that extra $13k or so will take your payment from like $675 to $900 a month. I so wanted to get a fully loaded Ram. Going from my 07 Ram 1500.
You only live once, it’s not like you can take your money with you when you die…tomorow is never promised either…ppl should always do whatever will make them happy
Under 300hp is just not enough, and not many changes since 2017 and lack of head room and small interior is not that great, it’s nothing new, full for modifications for sure and very good off-road and extremely handsome truck
I bought a 2022 Tacoma TRD off-road premium with tech package paid 47,000 I average 14.5 miles per gallon I averaged that with my Ford F-150 SuperCrew with a V8 and what the heck is up with the nosedive on the Tacoma every time you break I definitely miss my F-150
Get the trd off road its the closest too the Pro because it has crawl Control and lifts are cheap!!! Got won on my trd off road!!! Heritage grill’s are also cheap!!! And again the trail doesn’t offer crawl control!!!! If it did it would be a Pro or TRD OFF ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horribly uncomfortable seats would never get toyota again I could care less about how reliable they are no matter what i drive i maintain so it doesnt bother me. But the comfort does toyota never again.
Don’t buy a Toyota truck they are being designed by ex Chrysler engineers. Mike Sweers has destroyed Toyotas quality reputation. Own a 2016 and would never buy another one. Howling rear end, squealing idle pulley, leaking coolant on back side of motor from a plastic transfer pipe which will go bad before 100,000. These are poorly designed trucks. Look cool and that’s it. Hard to see out of. Leaking tri lights above the cab. Squeaking clutch pedal, squeaking suspension. I could go on.
If i listed all the problems with colorados or rangers, jeeps the list would go on and on much more than this, I've owned them. I have a '19 pro and its been perfect in sub-temps 4 months a year and i drive the piss out of it, some wheeling and 85+ mph highway runs and she hasn't had one issue. Maybe you had a lemon and you hold a grudge?
My buddies tacoma lasted about 4-5 months of on road commuting before he had to get a new alternator, battery and a whole new transmission. The windows whistle and the doors squeak while driving it. Interior looks like the inside of a 90s economy jet. I feel like a lot of people just don't voice their issues with Toyota products and so there's this lingering dated notion that they're invincible.
