Issues Fixed? + 10K Mile Update On My 2024 Toyota Tacoma 

Please Consider Checking Out Our Forum :) 4gtaco.com

OMG, I laughed my a$$ off when Jon said he hasn't had "one single problem" with his new Tacoma, ...other than The grill shutter problem and the ticking back door problem. Dude, you are hilarious.😂😂😂😂

Okay, you are right. No issue, just check engine. 😂

My wife’s Honda CRV had a grille shutter issue last winter. Turns out it was ice! Wow! Imagine that! Ice in Utah in Winter! 😂

I got a 24’ sport and if you read the owners manual it specifies changing your oil every 5k instead of 10k under “harsh driving conditions” which they outline as lots of stop and go traffic and/or driving in dirty conditions/off-road driving. So even Toyota doesn’t say 10k miles.

Check engine light at less than 10,000. Mi is pretty disappointing.

Changed the oil at 1500 miles on my 24 trd off road. No issues at all so far, real happy with performance over my 22 off road.

Howdy Jon congrats on 100k and for contributing to sharing any issues any new generation Tacoma owners will encounter! It’s something I’d definitely want to do apart from having a 5th gen 4 Runner and a Nissan GTR one day! Your hard work does not go unnoticed

I love the 24 tacoma, its built more like a tundra than the 3rd gen. Everything is heavier duty, the frame, the suspension. Im close to 2k miles on it. I changed the oil at 900 miles and it was clean, no metal or anything. Power from the 4cyl turbo is impressive. I have 33" tires now and it still moves, sr5 4x4 non-hybrid. I was gettin 21 mpg before. Now its more like 19 mpg. My 2nd gen got 16.5 mpg with smaller tires. That 4.0 was a nice engine though but the 8 speed transmission is super smooth and quick.

Probably the thermostat malfunction preventing it to not open. Dodge had this problem too

“Check installation of drivers floor mat” Toyota having Vietnam flashbacks

Your dealer is most likely affected by the CDK Global Hack. Same situation for my service a few days ago.

My 2024 Trd off-road has 8,000 miles now every thing working perfectly this tacoma is way better then my 3rd generation tacoma

My toyota stealership use to recommend every ten but now does them all every five thousand due to the massive Venza motor fiasco that had them doing a lot of warranty work to those motors. I actually know a friend who had their entire motor replaced during that time frame. It's his families beater car now but it's still kicking. This was in the 2014-16 time frame.

Jon great video gonna get my new 4th gen soon cant wait TRD offroad edition trading in my 3rd gen. Time to start some new adventures. Enjoy the ride everyone! 😄👍

I’ll wait for 2025-26….Beautiful truck thou!

What’s Up TRD Jon. I have a 24 TRD Sport I’ve noticed when I cold start and turn the AC on it has a couple chirp noises wanted to see if you know anything about that?

I think as long as the grill shutter gets stuck open you’re good. It would just take longer to warm up, but that’s not a problem in the Florida summer.

Love the truck and your content, Jon. I appreciate you keeping us updated on your experience with this new gen 🤝 I don’t get why you get so much hate. I personally hope they figure out these issues in the new platform in the coming years. Thanks for the update 🫡

Thats funny I have the same ticking sound and i thought it was my tailgate cables at the attachment point in the bed. I'm going to have to check the driver side rear door!

Jon. You seem enthusiastic with the truck which is great. For content idea, would love to see what modifications one can undergo to no void the manufacturer warranty. As being an owner like yourself there will definitely be more and more problems come to the light and it would be unfortunate to void any warranty due to personal modification. Thanks Bruv, cheers

You can add a temporary bracket that restricts the shutter motors movement fooling the compter into thinking that the shutter isn't broken. The light will go off. So don't assume yours is fine

Jon, you could hook up a gopro and drive to see if your shutters are working, I did that on my Tundra. Just connected it to my phone and watched them open at 40 mph….

Toyota fanboys are something else…

I’m having the same issue with my 24’ with 10,000 miles on it as well!

10k on the factory oil fill is ridiculous.

Great and honest review! I have a 2022 4Runner TRD Pro and I love it to death, but I don’t think I’ll buy another Toyota for my next vehicle. Idk Toyota designs with the new Tacoma and 4Runner is a little boring for my taste, where as Ford and Chevy came out with all new bold designs. Who knows, maybe when I see the new 4Runner in person it’ll change my mind.

My TRD Sport has worked perfectly so far, but I have seen where a handful of people have had manual transmission issues. Have you seen anything to that effect?

Thanks Jon

I have the rattling sound on my 2024 Tacoma same one you had for your tundra. Do you have the same issue?

I have a 21 Yrd OR. It’s been totally reliable with 0 problems. I like the new Tacoma’s improvements, but think I’ll wait until the 26’s come out, for any more issues plus hopefully better deals & interest rates.

Damn, your 4gen looks so 🔥🔥🔥

Overall I wouldn’t change Toyota for any other brand because at least I know if there is problems (which there always are in new models)it’s gonna get taking care of.

That's awesome that you fixed it so did you trade it in for the 2023 Tacoma? That would be an awesome permanent fix!!!

A deeper dive on the extreme importance and proper lubrication Jon and why it comes about that between the engineering department and the marketing department. Plus if you look at severe service schedule you’ll find that to be most peoples average driving anyway and that’s every 5000. The evidence is overwhelming but you can keep an eye turn to it but you’re an influencer and that puts lotta responsibilities on you.

It is amazing! Still tons of people wish to be part of Toyota recall campaign! They just keep buying first year models. It is like they are waiting in queue for Toyota theme park roller coaster. When you buy one it gives you excitement but after major recall, all that gone and no longer feels new car. Almost like doesn’t want to ride it again.

I saw in another owners post somewhere that it was 6.6 quarts oil with filter

Just got mine on 7/4 and this truck is a beast everyone talking crap about it are probably just mad they can’t afford one lol

It would be interesting for you to look at the cabin air filter and see if they really checked it. Also the engine filter. Since you metioned all the dust. Is it really clean?

"I have had zero issues with the truck. No issues at all" ... then goes on to explain the issues ;-) I mean not the end of the world but you have had issues so just say "I have only had a couple minor issues"

Hey JOn, Have you encountered light whistling noise on 2024 tacoma while driving without the Air Dam? hope you can help. Thanks

Can we just delete this grill shutter thing, Do we really need tham?

My Dad was a toyota master tech for 37 years. He said never do the 10k oil changes. Car care nut says the same thing. Especially with a turbo. It's the cheapest but most important maintenence you can do! 10k is possible under light driving conditions which off roading ect. is not. My manual for the 3rd gen said do not tow for 1000 miles, do not accelerate at a fast rate, keep it slow for 1000 miles, Don't hit the breaks hard for 500 miles. And then change the oil after the first 1000 miles, because metal debris from the engine breaking in can be I'm the oil / oil filter. Then next oil change would be at 5000 miles, and every 5k after that. It's crucial also with these new turbo motors the oil is changed religiously or whoever has this car later on is going to have problems. This isn't a 3rd gen taco or a 4 runner. Even then every Toyota tech that ik doesn't suggest that. If you read the manual it says 10k is ONLY for certain driving conditions which doesn't apply to 90% of us lol. It doesn't really matter what other maintenence you do if your not changing the oil at 5k max then your not taking care of the car at all. It's cheap and quick so it boggles my mind on why people don't do it when it's crucial to the engine.

One more question. After having driven the hybrid and standard turbo, is the hybrid that much better if you are only going to tow a few times per year? Sure would love the extra oomph, but not sure it’s worth another $4K.

Hey Jon, looking for your honest opinion on the Taco. Is this first model year likely to reach 200K relatively trouble-free miles based on your initial gut feeling? Also, is the hybrid worth it for towing only 2-4 times per year?

I can't believe All the people giving him crap about the 10,000 mile oil change. It's pretty clear that he is doing it by the book so as to be the example. If he runs into issues down the road because of it, he is perfectly fine with that. I bet. That is part of the experiment here. I agree with the sentiment that it makes more sense to do it at half that, but that's not the point here. He is doing it by the book whether it makes sense or not.

Seems like the grill shutter as been an issue with alot of new Taco's.

Low mileage like that and the engine light comes on I would have told him the way it is you're taking the piece of junk back like it or not!!! Shame on me for buying this piece of garbage but bigger shame on you for selling this big piece of garbage!!!!

Wonder if that ticking sound is your rear door lock actuator. If that's the case, it will eventually fail as it wears out. Will take a while to wear out. Usually not under warranty by the time it happens. Been through this on several other brands of cars.

Gonna wait for them to put the v6 back in the taco

So what you do about the tank straps? I have not seen any video update let me know if you did please.

Truck had no issues but wait. It had two issues, but other than those two issues, it had no issues..... How many issues are you going to allow your truck to have before you say it has issues. Still love your truck. Just busting your balls that's all

Do you have a review of your canopy. Looks cool

Disable that grill shutter especially in the warm climate.

I think there was a nation wide hack on dealership systems right?

Imma gonna just blame Ryan

Do anyone know how I can add a better subwoofer to my 2024 Tacoma… this JBL sucks I can’t find any boxes already made

Was thinking of getting the nytop exhaust tip for my tundra! Is it worth it?

Nice video! I’ll check out the forum. How do you like the interior? I can’t make up my mind about it.

Jon what's your opinion regarding Untamed Motors recent Toyota commentary ? I've wondered if buying and selling then buying and selling again and again could create personal issues. Like to see you and Toyota Jeff do an espose' regarding how to deal with the repetition, document preparation, and liquidity of funds that are required to buy and sell a vehicle several times per year, and the potential adverse affects on mental faculties thereof. Jeff's a swell fella and I'd like to hear his opinion as well.

Hey Jon, what do you think about the 2025 Toyota 4 runner “4 cylinder”? I don't know whether to wait for it or buy a 2024 sequioa. What do you think about your experience with these machines?

Do you recommend the Toyota made roof rack specific for the 24s or another aftermarket roof rack?

@ TRD JON.. Have you tried Unleaded Reguler Gas in your Land Cruiser Jon? Just wondered how it performed seeing as how premium fuel is recommended. Thanks, Jim

When I bought my taco back in 2018 they recommended oil changes every 10k but when the Toyota care was over they recommended every 5k 🥴

Hey Jon question is there a forum for 3 gens?

How happy are you with the paint? I have the same on my 2024 4Runner and been avoiding the car wash, because it seems the paint will be destroyed quickly

I've got a 2021ram1500 classic tradesman quad cab 4x4 v6 with lots of extras great simple truck 20 ,600 miles no problems 😅

Good Deal

Down to 🌍 earth information. Thanks for the update Jon.✅

10,000 mile oil change? That’s insane. It’s not the oil it’s the dirt. Good grief, 5,000 max

15.7 mpg?? dang dude Why do you like the Taco better than Land Cruiser?

Gorgeous truck, however a bit concerned with quality given it’s made in Mexico. Might hold off until next year.

3:40 you tell ‘em Jon!!! I’m right there with you on that.

That motor sounds like a lawn mower, hope she holds up. I’ve reversed course on a new Taco after my dealer test drive. The glovebox rattled pretty bad in the one I looked at maybe it was a one off.

So you transmission doesn't need to be replaced yet? 😆

Changing the oil at 1,000 may have help Tundra owners from having a blown engine. No matter who's fault it is, I'd rather have an engine not fail.

Wondering...do you normally average around 15.7mpg? I think I saw this in a previous video too but was curious what your mileage is highway vs. town etc.. That seems....low for a 4cylinder but, maybe you've got a lead food?

As a former toyota dealer tech. The company tells you 10k cuz the epa pressures longer intervals. They don't care as it will make it past the warranty. After that when you hear ticking. Its on you.

all vehicles are too complex. too many things to go wrong.

Cool. Happy truck, happy Jon. Ha. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Car Care Nut says 5k for turbo engines. Not hating just saying. Makes you wonder

The dealer system was down because of a major cyber attack against the company that provides backbone services to about 15,000 dealerships across the United States, and across brands. That was yesterday‘s news.

Sorry, over complicated techy bullshit.. WAY WAY too many potential problem areas and that engine is a nightmare just waiting to happen. Imagine the hybrid issues to come.. holy sh*t

No issues at all….except for the issues I’ve had so far…

Grill shutters are such a stupid design. Something that can easily fail.

Ha, ha, Jon. The only thing more controversial than politics or religion are oil changes. 😂

So Toyota won''t release a part because they need it to manufacture more trucks that are sitting on lots? How about prioritizing the customers that have already bought their product?? I guess service after the sale is now a lost concept.

Let me start it...... lol

Change your oil every 5k miles.

CHANGE YOU OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES!!!!! Do NOT do the 10,000 mile nonsense!!!!!!!

9K miles. Let’s gooooo.

I'm not happy with this 2024 tacoma. Too many issues. I think that turbo won't last 100K.

All of the new generation Toyota Trucks and SUV are TRASH! Engines, transmissions, grill shudder… complete trash.

Isn’t there a chance that you messed up something doing your mod? It was a pretty sketchy mod unscrewing so many bolts.

What is the point of the dumb shutter? Seems dumb. Delete it?

Why did you not go to PC Toyota?

Hello Jon, just a question. Did you have a 5k service on the Tacoma? Is there a video?

I just saw today (6-23-24) that Toyota is going to spend tons of money expanding their TX truck factory. My guess is, they think Trump will win this Nov, and they will be better off financially building in the US, rather than Mexico. 👍🏻🇺🇸

High temperature turbo engine + thin 0W-20 motor oil + long 10,000 mile oil change interval = future trouble. Smart owner: 5W-30 oil changed every 4,000 miles

"System was down." All the dealership's systems are down. The software company got hacked by Ransomware. MGM hotels style.
