First Dirt For My 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road - We Got Stuck... 

Ever since I watched the TFL Tacoma 4WD backfired this morning I cringe seeing it off road. Hopefully those guys discover the issue fast

Buddy was driving your truck a little too recklessly for my taste lol

I was having a TFL flashback there for a second. 😳

From what i've read, the recall on the 3rd gen is a voluntary inspection. It doesn't mean 400,000 Tacomas are faulty. They will inspect if, if it needs replacing, they will replace it. But the 4th Gen Tacoma is already off to a bad start compared to the 3rd gen.

3rd gen..... OTT Tune.. 285s.. OME BP51 setup... No issue gaining speed.... No issues with trans "searching" for gears..

You would think the trd “off road” would have a bit beefier skid plates. Those are a little disappointing. Great to see your truck in action though! Looks good and the crawl control seems to work well

Make sure he inspects the transfer case and front differential out so it doesn’t explode while off roading.

For an off road truck you would think they would include the same size spare tire. I’ve owned all generations (minus 4th). They used to offer same tire and wheel as a spare. They they changed to only same tire. Now even the tire is not the same. I won’t even go into the plastic skid plate. Cost cutting at its finest.

Im in the talks now to get a TRD-OFF ROAD Premium package, I think the hybrids will cost to much and sure the extra power is nice. Just want to have a every day truck and make sure I feel secure in my ride

the roost off that drift was sick!

Have fun with that tiny 18 gallon fuel tank.

4th gen 4Runner to the rescue. Love my 06 runner

My 2022 Toyota Tundra TRD OR is a pavement princess because it's my dream truck ... I want to last my truck for a long time ...

hearing that turbo from the outside when ur buddy was whippin off road was music to my ears! i’d wanna find ways to make that even louder

I didn't know the ditched the leaf springs

At least you didn’t pop your transfer case like TFL did!

Glad to see it off road

Of course now they get rid of those stupid paper oil filters and plastic oil filter housings after I buy a 3rd gen.

Sounds like a halo warthog.

Yea brother that is one thing I don’t like on my 23 is when you open the door after remote start the motor stops ughhhh ! Bugs me man lol even though it should not be a big deal.

Good to see you actually getting out there and gettin’ her dirty Jon. She’s def meant for more than just the road. 👍🏼 Also, good to have the kinda friends you do.

Since diameter is the limiting dimension for the spare, Toyota could have put a real full size spare under there. Just penny pinching.

I do love that color 👍🏻

Keep the taco 🌮 content coming nobody is complaining love it 🥰

I think the OEM wheels would look good if they were stripped refinished machined & sent off to OMF performance to get beadlocked. That would be one unique OEM+ build

A lot to like about the new Tacoma but I'm a little disappointed that they are coming with a convenience spare and not a real full size. Also, they should do better than those flimsy skid plates on the TRD Off Road.

I have to agree with the annoying cut out remote start, they went over board for safety (like their Tundra Tow Hook Decision - FAIL!) lol Too bad Toyota does not have 1990s Chrysler Executives working there, they would have certainly put the Tundra Motor in this new bad boy!!! Love this video, let's see more like it!!!

It was already a good idea to get five wheels and tires when you upgrade. Now, especially if you offroad (as you just proved you're gonna), it is a requirement to get a real spare.

And so it begins 🔥

I want that truck! But I need finance rates to become more reasonable before I take the plunge. If you’ve got time here’s 2 things I’d like to see. Set your seat to an “ok-ish” driving position and then sit in the back seat. I need to carpool now n then. Show how the back seats can fold up or down or whatever so I can see if my muddy dog can get in the back and it’s still ok to use for a carpool the next day. If you have time? Thanks

Jon you're making me want underground instead of blue crush metallic, does it have a lot of blue in it or mostly gray? Hard to tell in videos.

The first the TFL truck breaks your truck gets stuck. Maybe the new Tacoma isn't as good as everybody thinks it is. I think they cheapened it so you'd have to get the TRD pro or the trail. Hunter.

Between this and TFLs misadventure, I can practically hear the price of the 3rd gens taking off.

Those front recovery hooks are def harder to get to than a Frontiers.

Thanks Ryan

Hey Jon. Tfl guys broke the tacoma what you think. Should you get your electric lime back? 🤔

Ryan's 4Runner looks awesome 🤩

Between this and the broken transfer case at TFL and at SamkoWorkshop I am not sure the Land Cruiser is something I should buy later this spring.

looks like a need for some more aggressive bigger tires and a lift. Beautiful truck. Maybe some rock sliders.

Have not been a big fan of the new taco but yours looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see its progress.

Ouch should have bought a Colorado ZR2. It's a BEAST!!!

An Actual oil filter !! worth it for that alone 😂😂😂

Are you getting after market wheels and tires? The taco the best looking midsize truck with mods

Expo Starke Florida starts at noon Friday. Should take the truck on the course there

The 4th Gen 4R is a bit ugly, but is underappreciated. Nice vid, Jon. Keep it up.

Can you make a video on the package + add ons you got and how much you paid for the truck?

Frame corrosion prevention lmao keep em coming Jon!

35 INCH TIRES

Nice you let your friend drive your new Taco, but I’d stop. Great channel.

I’m in Florida where that trial at

High centered! What a show! You drove into the hole for our amusement.

After seeing this video and expedition overland makes me wonder how the heck did TFL broke their tacoma. The obstacle that they were on didnt even look that bad.

Way NICE Truck TRD Jon...! Lucky You! Can't wait to see Jeff Westcott work his "Magic" on Your '24 NextGen Tacoma TRD OR...

Besides getting stuck do you like those stock tires, the BFG trails or whatever?

Nice looking truck, but would be nice to see a V6 turbo version soon.

Like a kid who just got their Christmas gifts 😅

Those are tie down hooks for shipping and they will bend or break. Try to use both at the same time for tough pulls.

Jon, do you feel the new sitting position and head room (with moon roof) is very much like the 5th 4Runner now?

Pumped in noise?

Shoulda got a gladiator. Where in FL is this?

I am really hoping my brother decides to ditch his 2018 Limited for this new gen. He so hates the transmission in his.

Whats the matinace on the 4 cylinder turbo cost and what matinace do you need at 1000.00

By any chance, do you think there might be an opportunity to replace the stock fuel tank with a larger, aftermarket fuel tank?

Kinda cool how they've come full circle with the small displacement 4 cylinder like the first trucks, before they were even called Tacoma's. I'm actually dropping a spanking new 22re into a 1990 single cab 4x4 right now. Hopefully these new ones have the same reliability now that they seem to have solved the power problems.

Them yota mafia bois at it again

8:16 well when you have the same ground clearance as a Subaru you should expect to get stuck in just about anything

Watched this and at end said private? Not this time though. Anyway, no big pops from the front. That’s a plus!

Hey Jon, Andrey's Blue OR broke the 4wheel when they went on the trail. What do you think about that? You saw their video?

Tight! Love it Jon.

As far as the remote start. Did they extend the timer. That’s was ridiculous. Please say that’s what you meant.

Enjoyed the video. I like the look of the new Taco, but I am a Tundra guy all the way.

All in a days work🤙

What do you mean by fix the remote start?

Do you like living in Florida? I had a choice between Florida and Minnesota---ended up in Minnesota due to the lower crime rate and no gator. Hate it here in Minnesota, hopefully my next location is Oregon or Washington.

is the remote start a $14/year subscription?

What are your thoughts on the TFL channel tacoma failure?

That engine sounds like a small diesel. Lol

Did you see what happened to TFL ‘s Taco TRD?!? Front wheel drive stopped working halfway up a mountain!

"For a 4cylinder engine [...] does not sound the best" ... of course it doesn't that is the sound of engine eating its life away and yes, like you said "it is all about trades offs" but Quality was traded over "Comfort". Best wishes.

Get the mid-pipe dump the Trailhunter has

If you're going to build this new compact up i hope you add front locker. Im not a fan of Mall control lol

I appreciate you not babying it. Put it through the ringer.

A real Toyota coming to save the Camry 4x4 lol.

The TFL breakdown has me scarred and clenching in anticipation of the pop. 😬

I'm waiting to see the hybrid prices before I pull any triggers.

Front axles suspect

Sweet ride ! O hey btw, did you see what happened to TFLoffroads Tacoma ?

Where in Florida are these trails?

Wow the new engine is not using the dumbass canister oil filters!? Hooray

noooooo my mud guards!!!!!!!!! =( lol

9:34 thanks Ryan

I love reading these comments 😂

Toyota is going to release the dump kit like the trailhunter

Awesome 👌

it's a very nice truck jon.

Bad day for Toyota. They’ll figure it out tho

What do you mean by pumped in engine noise? Like fake engine sounds from the speakers?

You don’t have to rub the remote start function in our face lol

My god that 4Runner is something special 🤤😰💦

I see a trend 🤔 keep making these taco fail videos and maybe the prices will drop!!! Im w the movement 😂😂😂
