My work has a fleet of 20ish frontiers and as a whole they have had less problems than any types of vehicles we’ve had. As a former Colorado ZR2 owner and a current 4runner owner I can say the frontier is extremely underrated and much more quality than the Colorado I owned.
@@victorsalinas4666It’s interesting how people that give a balanced review of something other people attach their identity to call that person toxic. If people actually listened to Untamed he is all about Toyota reliability of pre-2024 Toyotas. He has had many Toyotas within the timeframe of his channel.
Well, I have my share of issues with my 24 Tacoma. Paint issues and then system malfunction failures, like TRDJon. I was without my Tacoma for 5 weeks until the paint and system malfunctions were repaired. I just got it back yesterday. My truck has only 622 miles on it - 300 of those miles are driving back and forth to the dealer. On mine, it was the air/fuel sensor and the catalytic converter - at least that is what I was told.
I don't get why you can't just eliminate these stupid aero features without getting bombarded by stupid notifications. The mpg can't possibly be that big of a difference.
I got 2,575 miles on my 10 month old 2023 Toyota Tacoma trd pro hoping to get 20+ years out of this truck. My daily go to work truck. I don’t trade it in for new ones. Last of the v6!
I’m not. I’ve talked about it in videos prior to the recall dating back to 2022 of March when the first issue happened. I also posted the recall to my community and talked about it on Instagram.
Just passed 3200 miles on mine; so far no issues. Manufactured at Guanajuato in April. Some guy on the 4G forum was thinking the shutter issue was mostly on the trucks coming from Guanajuato but I think you're right.. it was the first few months of productions that are mostly affected, but only time will tell. However the Tundra's had that issue too and they're built here in San Antonio TX.
These Grill issues pop up on the Tundra quite often too in the groups I frequent. Toyota went the way of BMW, they liked them so much they let them build the Supra but I didn't think they'd adopt all of the bad ideas German cars had, but here we are.
Yea it was an issue early on with the Tundra in the FB groups and other forums. Some trickle in still every now and then it seems. This issue with the Tacoma seems to be the whole unit per my dealer. So I will keep you all updated on the fix. At least the truck was still drivable which was nice.
My grill shutter malfunction happened just before 3k miles, and there were no replacement parts available in the US. My dealership managed to ship one in from Canaduh, and my truck sat at the dealership for 3 weeks.
@@TRDJon Meaning that if you want your car to last trouble-free to 200k you should do your oil changes at 5000 miles. I’m sure you don’t care, because you don’t keep vehicles longer that they’re useful to your channel, but other viewers who do want their vehicle to last a long time would be well advised to ignore Toyota’s recommended OCI.
Not to change the subject, but what is the video player you liked better to hook up to the radio? I can’t remember what video you were talking about it.
I think that was the best gen Tacoma. That being said, my brother’s 01 had its engine completely self destruct at 75,000 miles. Seems like the rod seized and caused catastrophic failure. Half the engine was in the oil pan. Crazy!
Thanks for being the first model year guinea pig, keep up the great content also any update on why the Land Cruiser requires premium fuel and if you can put regular fuel instead?
@@TRDJon cool, eventually if I trade in my jeep Wrangler that takes regular for a Land Cruiser I was hoping it can take regular also since I like it to have the better MPG if upgrading, and if it takes premium that basically negates any savings
The worst part about Toyota for the last 10 years has been their warning notifications being dismissible and IMMEDITALY coming right back up. It makes zero sense.
No Tacoma inventory up here in the Northeast. Florida dealers seem to have tons. I'd like to test drive one but will not buy one at this point. Keeping my 2022 TRDOR for a few more years.
In a month, I'm gonna do a cross country move in my new Taco that's going to be about a 2k mile drive. Lets see how it holds up at the end of the trip as well as the coming weeks.
Net/net: You don't have enough ground clearance with the current vehicle for where you want to take it. OK. Be careful where you off road in current configuration. Informative vid.
🙃 Sulfur and nitric acid are some of the gases that are very corrosive. Your bed might survive but your frame, shocks, and any metal under the truck will rust. Trade it in after 3 years.
Did you do a high pressure wash on it? The active shutter actuator electric connector (which you can see if you look down the center of the active shutter connects downward and the top of it collects water. You can add grease or marine sealant to it to keep water from collecting in the connector and causing issues. Poor design. Seal the connector or have it connecting from the bottom so it does not collect water. I only hand wash and do not spray the front with high pressure water.
deutsch connectors is what they use throughout every car and truck and toyota has some of the best weatherpac deutsch connectors in the biz.. That being said if the connector and or the connector placement is poor water will eventually make its way through. Pumping the inside and outside of the connector with dielectric grease could put a band aid on it
do you think these problems you are facing will be corrected in 2025 year models? I really want the 4th gen to shine but so far i feel a little let down.
I hope so man. Tundra we still see some of the same issues year after year, but the Tacoma is their volume and one of their best sellers. So tiny issues year over year would not look good for the brand if you get what I’m saying
With the complexity of today's trucks it's not totally unreasonable to have these types Gremlins pop up on newer models. The Tacoma looks like it's hold up great! My SR is still suffering from all the interior quirks and rattles and I am just waiting for the Engine Recall situation to see if it affects me and what the remedy will be, it sucks, but that's the way it flows!
Those errors happened to mine after ~400 miles. Unplugged the battery & they haven’t come back, now at 4000mi. Edit: Not the grill shutter issue but the others that were coming up on your dash.
It’s crazy that I found your channel making tasteful mods to your 4Runner and it now seems like with all these new Toyotas, you’re chasing down issues. Really sad to see how common these issues are the poor quality control as of late. Hopefully that’ll change with the later models.
You mentioned on your livestream about a forum for 4th generation Tacomas. However, the web address you said doesn’t exist. Please provide the correct url. Thanks!
Concerned about the long term viability of the hybrid system, I personally would hold off at least another cycle. In addition the price is just a bit to high for these new Tacos. I think the Nissan Frontier Pro - 4x is the last of the V6.
Thanks for the info. This is the vehicle I want and of course they will get stuff sorted. Its gonna be hard to wait out another year to let them iron out the bugs because I want mine now !!
Ya I agree with ya and totally what I was thinking . Just not a fan of down time but I guess they would need to supply a loaner if it was in the shop for any amount of time.
I’ve had a check engine light on my 18 Camry xse v6 for almost a year lol Drives the same, no weird noises, same mpg, no loss of power. Only reason I haven’t fixed it is because the dealer wanted to charge $10,000.😅
@@TRDJonit’s at dealership now. So it is shifting really hard between gears. It’s gotten bad enough where I think I was stuck in a higher gear bc I had the pedal to the floor and truck would barely move. I get the 30-40mph wobbles. And just before coming to a complete stop around 1-3mph just before completely stopping the truck does a pretty violent jolt. Almost like it’s downshifting super hard
I’m guessing Toyota will have a hard time moving those Tundras. Trust In Toyota has taken a hit! Big hit! Hopefully the Tacoma will be better. I’m on my third Toyota truck and none of them have ever required a repair. I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD sport 2wd with 89,000 miles and besides scheduled maintenance I’ve only spent money on tires and brakes. This truck is solid! I’ll give the new Tacoma a couple model years to exterminate the bugs before I buy.
Mike you can’t talk to someone like this. I knew something was up when I saw how he’s been treating it while getting it modded. Literal turd polishing. Now the oils change intervals. Like you said just nuts.
Take that up with Toyota and the dealership in NV then that I verified everything on my truck was breaking in well at 4K miles man. Doesn’t seem like an isssue I can help you with or that you will get solved by commenting on RU-vid videos..
I’m sorry $250 not including shipping for a dump down. I did my own not Titanium you don’t see it anyway for less then fifty dollars. Welded the flange on. I live in Florida so rusting not a factor. Not hating on Jon but the parts on Tacomas are getting outrageous, even talking to other people not just me.
@@TRDJon dude,3 months ago you got to get a little air on a dirt track with a Tacoma and Toyoya might have put a few hundred miles on it and you were saying how dependable the truck is as it was equivalent to driving 300,000 miles. You drank the Kool-aid that day 🙄
so let’s be real.. this is what it really comes down to, (and this is coming from someone who is actually employed by Toyota and has been for the last 10+ years). if you know you’re going to be stranded on a desert island OR only have 1 truck for the rest of your life..and you have $50K to play with..are you choosing a 3rd or 4th gen Tacoma?
Does the desert island come with an oil well a refinery and a gas station? If not then I go with a bicycle for $1k and prepackaged food and water filters for $49k. 😃
So sad to see such stupid problems in a Toyota. Thanks for taking one for the team - as we wait for 2nd & 3rd gen Tundra/LC and GX550. Can't accept the premium price for the Taco.
