Driving The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Off Road | Answering Important Questions 

Yep, totally deserves it!

He and Toyota Maintenance Channel are some of the best Toyota RU-vid Channels hands down.

Number one mechanic complaint, since cars were invented, is the engineers don't talk the guys that have fix them. 😂

Toyota engineer and AMD get into a knock down, drag out brawl. 😂

​@@cenccenc946That was a big mistake, because it went against what Toyota's development culture was originally about

Really, they should just to stay in tune with how the vehicle performs in the real world. Hopefully, they watch some youtube videos.

I love this channel I hope to meet you some day such a nice man!

Doesnt matter. They wont listen. To make things strong and robust ,it cost money. See that short of an old sledgehammer vs an old one under a press? Well thats what we deal with on a mass scale. Even finely engineered,parts are not the same quality they were yesteryear.

Yeah, 100%😆😆

Exactly why mine came off my 4runner day one. Great for mall crawling, horrible for everything else.

Yeah, they don't look good and obviously aren't going to make it off road.

@@Craig2142 just a way for them to charge you an extra $1k

It's another issue feedback for Toyota. He did them a favour.

​@@jmpattillo yep, toyota is very good at the unwanted add ons.

He is still biased as he is sponsored by Toyota

You did. I remember you calling it.

I don't like to read comments about the lord or god or any of that nonsense.

Hebrews 6:20

God bless Car Care Nut!!! 👍🙏❤️

​@@dareisnogod5711because the antichrist will be annoyed if humans remember their creator

just wait til they are used. used trd 4runners are about 10k less. just wait for that and for the end of the year. buying a car requires patience too.

​@@jameskocks4734 buying a car also often requires MSRPs not in the stratosphere, unfortunately.

Those prices are ridiculous man. Its like germany before WW2 prices are sky high because of the people behind usury and interest

Waiting for The Financial Miracle

@@jameskocks4734 i remember before i bought my highlander, it was 10k cheaper IF i got one with 150k miles already on it and over 5 years old. rather eat the money and buy something i know wasnt rode hard and put up dry.

Stop fishing for compliments bro. Just post your opinion and move on, no one is hating in the comments stop pandering

Heavy duty cooling, once the coolant starts to leak, turbo is toast. I agree with ya, NA engine has way less failure points

I've had 4 Tacoma's since 2005...I am on my last I think. The new gen just doesn't do it for me at all.

yes old v6 3.4 belt engine the best

Will the new Tacoma a be as reliable as Toyota trucks of yesteryear? Yes and no is probably the best answer. These new Turbocharged/hybrid trucks are undoubtedly more complicated than a simple 22R, 3.4 5VZ, or old inline 6 etc. These new trucks will also likely cost more to repair given the expensive parts and more difficult to work on. But…. If anyone can pull this off it’s Toyota and I have no doubt that these trucks will be more reliable than the competition. No need to be afraid of turbo or hybrid. Ford has been doing Ecoboost turbo engines for well over a decade without much issue in F-150. In fact the ecoboost engines are the most common version of the F-150 which is still the most popular p/u truck. The sky isn’t falling on Ford owners and I am sure Toyota will do even better than Ford. As far as hybrid goes no worries there either, plenty of Priuses and other Toyota hybrid models that have been used by Taxi/uber drivers who rack up hundreds of thousands of miles on them with daily abuse. We can only move forward, we are never going back to 98cent a gallon gas. The reality is that $10 a gallon gas could be here within a decade. These new trucks will pay for themselves in fuel savings over time. The added perk is that we are getting increased fuel economy with power numbers that would have required a large displacement V6 or even V8 less than 20 years ago. I think these new power trains should easily last 10-20 years and be able to handle 200-300k+ miles depending on use and maintenance. Is this as good as a 22r or 5VZ that can last 20-30 years and 500k+miles? No but the fuel savings over the course of that time will likely add up to being able to buy a brand new truck. The added bonus is that you also get an engine that deliver 2-3 times as much power as the old dinosaur engines plus you get all that new tech to enjoy in the meantime.

Preach!!

What makes you think he was not paid for this promo?

With well over 1 million subscribers, I am certain AMD is politely declining invitations to media events all the time.

Get a job. Get a good job.

A 5 link coil setup is way more robust for off-roading, towing, racing, daily driving, etc. There is nothing a leaf spring does that a proper coil setup can’t do better.

@@MrCherrygrovedude agreed, leaf springs are just bad these days. only reason theyre used in anything is because theyre cheap

Learn to pressure wash your frame and undercarriage every summer.

@@subtegral it's unavoidable. Wash after every beach run, there was a recall that was never extended to the 4R. They used faulty steel, well known issue.

@@KO_infamous only pressure wash the frame in the summer - when it's hot. And then let it dry outdoors. You failed to maintain your frame. You also had the option early on to coat it with undercoating and you chose not to.

toyota had to buy a LOT of bad frames under warranty, im sure they dont want to pay that again

I feel a bit reassured with them saying they've designed them to more of a commercial spec. Time will tell, but I'll trust Toyota over all these "buT MuH v6" guys. Turbos are not evil. If maintained properly they can last VERY long if designed well.

A straight 6, is what I'd like to d er

Oooops not a Yaris. Nevermind

@@jonathanmacdonald9276 As a Yaris fan I have two points to share. 1) Bring back the Yaris!!!!!!! 2) You can edit your comments using the 3 dots on the right side of it.

10 million? Oh ok.

they only have to guarantee the frame for their warranty period.....

Spot on these are mall crawlers now. How many will ever see any dirt. None in my neighborhood

@@omieyouknowme yup

TFL.

Never has one part on one truck been more overhyped 🙄

Wasn’t an axle it was the ADD.

@@debratakahara2494 Yep and testament to design strategy that's frugal. Yes, the fact it failed warrants attention, but more importantly, a cheaper easier to replace part failed and kept he axle in tact and allowed the truck to drive safely albeit limited.

I suspect they’ll need to issue a recall for that ADD. Perhaps the FEA wasn’t done to the torque specs of the new engine?

@DildeauBaggins you realize there's more than one team of engineers what work on the development of the vehicle, not everyone knows everything about specific parts of the vehicle.

Have you seen the build series? Its worth watching.
