Great video. I have a trd sport bronze oxidized long bed. Do you have a A/c compressor noise. Like a cricket noise when the a/c is cycling. One thing I don’t like from the 4th gen Tacoma . Love the truck how it drives from my 3rd gen. Thanks

@jensalan 21 день назад

I'm glad you mention pricing and how so many people only look at the $65k TRD Pro pricing. Meanwhile, 99.9% of people don't need a TRD Pro or even a TRD Off Road. But the same people who complain are more than happy to compare it to a low end half ton and say the top of the line mid sized trucks are too much 😂. It's not just mid sized trucks that are too much. Everything has gone way up in price.

@TRDJon 21 день назад

Exactly. People only see shiny object instead of taking a step back and looking at the whole thing. Ya it sucks how expensive these are, but still, you can get it for cheap if really desired.

@jensalan 17 дней назад

@@astrogreenarrow It doesn't make sense to spend an extra $15k+ for a truck with capabilities they'll never use, in the hopes that it will hold its value by at least that much. It'll never hold it's value that well unless you buy it and never drive it. They might be the top spec, but they're not special since there's thousands of them being made. You're better off buying a $50k truck (or even less) than a TRD Pro any day of the week and investing the difference. And even if you really do off road, you can get a lot of aftermarket gear for $15k+.

2021 Tundra TRD Pro owner hear. I really do like the new Tacoma. I drove a 2000 Tacoma TRD Off-road access cab 5-speed manual V6 for 20 years until I bought the Tundra I own today. Personally, like the new Tacoma's but could never justify the price. They cost more than what I paid for my TRD Pro double cab ($48,880). Bidenflation is real! The last thing I felt your pain on that 18.5 gallon tank. One of my most favorite features about my Tundra is the 38 gallon tank. I get over 600 miles on a tank and it makes it so nice especially when I am towing long distances. Great video keep it up!

@TRDJon 22 дня назад

Right? They really do!

@PaulPeralta 21 день назад

I agree with your list of pros and cons. My underground also was delivered scratched AF, so my dealer has to correct and I had to pay to get it PPF’d and further PC’d. One thing you missed is that the paint thickness is very very low, like 1.1 mils (barely anything). One correction is regarding the exhaust tip. It looks low because the rear bumper is a high clearance. It’s no lower than the previous gen. My biggest gripe is the lack of the back seat space. I won’t upgrade to a Pro because of the new iso dynamic seats in an already tight back seat area.

@TRDJon 21 день назад

I thought I said the pain is thin when I showed the rock chips. I mentioned the higher rear bumper too brotha hahaha Yea I really wish that those rear seats where an option. But knowing dealers rthey would just order them with them regardless...

I hate that big screen. When I go drive my truck I'm not going in there to watch a movie. It's too big and doesn't look Natural. It's like an afterthought where they just place a computer screen on top rather than being on the dashboard itself. The turbo engine sucks too!

@wesleybrehm9386 10 дней назад

I wasn’t a fan of the big screen until I drove my 2024 Tundra a bit. It’s great having the bigger screen. I can have the map, music, and directions all displayed and easily be able to glance over and see what I need. I was nervous about the turbo until I drove it. The twin turbo v6 on the Tundra is a beast. It tows a 10k lb trailer like it’s nothing. And it MOVES. The 0-60 time on the TTV6 is 5.9 seconds! I’ve owned sports cars that didn’t to as fast. Go test drive one. Your concerns are valid, but they melt away when you actually drive one.

@n118nw 17 дней назад

5500 miles since March on mine and so far so good, but since it's the first year I'm expecting something to eventually go wrong. My biggest gripe was the price tag, but such is the market and when you're wanting a new model truck, you don't have much to leverage when negotiating. Most of my other gripes can be resolved with aftermarket parts--and I expect that to be the same with any manufacturer; they have to build a truck as cheap/reliable as possible cutting corners here and there. In the hot Texas sun, the interior plastic on the A pillar isn't so rigid; the rear bumper cover is a bit loose; the rear seat is too thick and doesn't fold away as well as a Honda Ridgeline; the rear sliding window is so small it's practically useless, and while having extra pockets on the door cards are nice.. they're not covered in any fabric, so any object you have in them causes them to vibrate and rattle.

Just went looking at these a few days ago. Was considering a 4 door 6foot bed, white/black trim with dealer installed lift and tires. Loved the look of the truck and interior was very comfortable.... but my intent was to downsize from my Tundra, and honestly these things seem to have grown to nearly full size without the full benefits. I love the range I get in my Tundra, and The extra room for only a slightly larger truck is really nice, plus towing capability. Considering the price tag, and my rig is paid off and only 60k miles just couldn't justify it..... very nice trucks though and I actually think the 4cyl is a good powerplant, maintenance should be cheaper only having four cylinders etc. as long as the turbo system remains solid past 100k. time will tell.

@JulietHotelFoxtrot 19 дней назад

I have the exact same paint color. It's a 2024 in underground gray. This paint finish looks like complete dog shit. You don't really notice it until you're in perfect lighting. But there were swirls everywhere over. It look like someone rubbed it with a 600 grit stone. I don't understand how Toyota has such bad quality control or uses cheap paints this can even happen. I have driven Hondas and Fords in the past. I have never seen a major manufacturer ship a truck with paint that looked this bad. In the lighter colors, I don't think it would be very noticeable. But this particular paint shade, the underground, highlights every imaginable defect in the paint and there are numerous with these trucks. As for the exhaust, it's half the price to get the "off road tail pipe" that's an OEM bolt on from Toyota. Most muffler shops can fab an equivalent for about $100-150 as well. That is still $100 less than the Nytop one, which is way overbuilt for what's needed here.

I’d be very curious to find out if you compare apples to apples the 5th Gen to the new 4Runner MPG and factor the premium fuel were it lands… same with the TACO no one ever mention’s the reg gas vs premium gas HP to HP.

@danielrn133 13 дней назад

I live near the North Wind River Range in Wyoming and drive at elevation daily. My first turbo was my Ranger and it is night and day better driving at altitude than the NA engines I had in the past. I personally will never go back to a NA engine. The low end torque is nuts plus as elevation increases performance doesn't tank.

I bought the 2024 tacoma TRD offroad and what a great truck until 4000 miles later the engine started knocking as i thought it was the engine but i got it towed to the dealership and they said they it was the transmission that took a dump …..now looking to buy a Frontier pro4x im sorry Tacoma you were great but not this year 😢

@TRDJon 21 день назад

So why not wait for a new transmission from aisin to ship to toyota?

@markm148 9 дней назад

You’ll like the Frontier. Better truck all around and less tech BS.

@romanjohnston 14 дней назад

naturally asperated vs. turbo (more stressfull 4 cyl) There is value in an engine that makes power without adding extra stress. So while the new engine runs great now, interested in how long it will last. The Tundra has already shown issues. I hope it stands up and they designed it strong enough to have the 200 - 300K reliability that was common with the last gen Toyota trucks.

@TRDJon 14 дней назад

Hey Jon, I agree completely on the 18.2 gallon tank. My FJ only has 19 gallons of storage and I stop a lot with that. Also, what the heck is hanging down below the rear bumper? Is that part of the hitch? If so, that'll look pretty rough after a few winters in a northern climate.......

@jonnyspeed 10 дней назад

My 2018 Colorado has 35.8 in of rear legroom. New Taco has only 32.6 and that's not enough IMHO. My 21 Wrangler (Same as Gladiator) has 38.3". That's almost 6 more inches... The Taco rear seat is useless to me so it's a non-starter. You could go full size, but GM, GMC, Jeep, and Ford (34.5") all offer Mid-sized trucks with better rear room than the Taco.
