Our Little Toyota Tacoma Takes on a MASSIVE Dodge Cummins! Does It Stand A Chance? Baby Yota Ep.6 

Awesome video. You guys have so much fun.

That Toyota will probably still be running 15 years from now..

This should have been titled, “Buncha TFL goofballs messing around with their 20 year old trucks”. Keep enjoying life (AND RECORDING IT), you guys.

"8 inches of snow" i think he's over exaggerating a tad

I love My '02 Tacoma.

Tfl classic may be my favorite channel of tfl. Kase, Tommy, and David really enjoying themselves.

Those little toyotas will go forever. My dad drove a '97 for 12 or 13 years and 300,000+ miles before a rotted frame and busted transmission did it in. He once pulled my mom's Accord up a steep hill in 6in snow all the way home. Bulletproof little thing.

I'd buy the little Tacoma with a manual transmission and locking rear diff

I love that cummins sound!

Those two will still be running great in 20 years no issue, that’s for sure.

One thing I think you proved with both is that in those conditions, 4 wheel drive doesn't make them two times better, it makes them more like ten times better.

I owned that exact same tacoma for 8 years. I LOVED IT

There something about little older trucks that make them look weak , but they show mighty results. Old trucks for life

Case and David have made TFLclassics my favorite TFL channel to watch! These guys need their own truck restoration TV show!

I’m just here to listen to the Cummins sing. Keep up the good work.

I would love to own a Cummins like that!

Not that I haven’t always enjoyed TFL, but David’s Yak Ranch is the single greatest thing that has happened to the channels content.

David’s diesel swap brought me here over a year ago. Happy to see you guys continue with the quality content! Loving powder keg and the Cummins project so far!

Love my 2003 Double cab- Toyota tacoma pre-runner 2WD! 229,000 miles and still going!

Love both trucks of this vintage ,but my heart still goes to the ram. My first truck was 98 ram sport ext.cab(no clam shell doors) two wheel drive ,white. Comfy truck for me . Still miss it to this day.

A good tip for open diffs. Pulse the throttle in and out to get some torque to that other wheel.

the sheer fun this video had was awesome!, this is what having fun is about, not the looks, not the money thrown at it, but the fun you can get from it (to each its own, just saying) this seemed like a lot of fun and it seems you guy's had a really good time!

“MaSsIvE cUmMiNs” bruh thats like the smallest that truck comes in lmao

Good god that Dodge is beautiful. Can we take a second to acknowledge how clean that thing is?

Slowest drags (crawl ratio comps) should be done going down hill to see which one slows itself down the best

Great fun! I have the same two project trucks, except extended cab versions, 97 6speed 12v and 02 5speed 3.4

I’m on team baby truck! Anyone else?

Awesome video, best TFL video of the year so far for . Years just beginning , but off to a really great start . Loved this video. Love Kase’s Dodge , Sounds so good. What a beast of a truck. Had to watch this one a few times , that just looked like so much fun, it was fun to watch. These guys are the best.

I love Cummins but it’s a fact that Toyota’s are the best off road vehicles

I own an 06 Ram Cummins and it is completely worthless in RWD in the snow. And to wheel it on a trail is severe self abuse! But, put 10,000 pounds behind it and it's right at home. Off road? It's Taco time!

Love my baby yota! Wish I had 4wd but I’m planning on doing a locker, luckily I don’t live anywhere with snow

The last bit of where this is filmed looks suuuuper familiar. Like the foothills between Rist and Poudre canyon. I really miss that sandstone.

My brother and I recently took his linked dual case 1 ton Tacoma on 40 inch pro comps and arb lockers and two stock 3rd gen 4Runners to the snow. You'd be very surprised how much tires make a difference. One of the 4Runners followed nearly faultless all day on cheap 265 chunky mud terrains that were a no name brand from China. The other 4Runner had half tread Toyo at's and only got stuck twice.

Both trucks look amazing as they are in this video.

Love my 2.7 5 speed 4wd Tacoma with manual locking hubs, indestructible

Love that little Taco!

It is scary that the 2500’s hood starts where the yodas roof stops

That’s two real pretty trucks, love the Tacoma especially

Wow. Talk about a trip down memory lane. I had that same exact Tacoma in red. Bought it back in 2000, and had to get rid of it because I needed something bigger.

LOL , I couldn't choose, so I got both! 2004 PreRunner ext cab V6 AT 2WD w/rear locker, and 2004 Ram 3500 crew TD5.9 4WD Flatbed

Case and David, “Ya that’s a little steep for us.” 😂😂😂

All this proves is torque and lockers are a necessity

I just bought an entirely gold 01 Taco. It's a prerunner doublecab TRD. So it's rwd and really oddly optioned. No abs, no cruise but power windows, CD, and Tape!🤣

2 Best trucks in the world 💯

One can pull 10K up a hill at interstate speeds, the other can't pull itself up a hill at interstate speeds.

Just like a dodge....hey buddy can you give me a push? 😆🤣

In Europe the Tacoma(Hilux) Is not a small vehicle, If we seen that gen RAM, it would be like a monster truck.

Weld the steering column for a tighter steering feel and change all the bushings... this taco drives like a dream 👌🏼

In the woods the Yota will outshine the Dodge bigtime. I cut my own trails and there is no way a full size truck will get through. 1995 short bed "pickup", last of the 22RE's.

I love the Cummins, and If the Toyota was a stick it would be perfect!

wide tires suck at everything but they look good and thats it

Ok I'm convinced I'm buying a 4×4Taco double cab yota...

Hire Case already, hes a natural at this 😏👍🏻

The Dodge wins, because I'm 6'4" and I KNOW I don't fit in the Yoda. Plus, I have a Dodge 4x4 1500 with the 5.2L gas and I know I like it. Carries a boat load of stuff while being VERY comfortable for me.

The Ranch could have a spin-off channel

Up to this day, people don't know the difference between HP and Torque. There is no horsepower without torque. power is work over time. Work is force X distance, and torque is the force in that equation.

Such cool looking trucks, amazing shape for their age.

Stick shift offroad no matter what the truck or conditions is more fun and in an older truck for that matter makes it my winner. Oh and the fact that it’s a Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins helps too lol.

lots of fun. Toyota is like a side by side or an ATV. Cute truck..

Value on these Tacos is goin up!

I think those Michelins aren't as tame as they look... Getting some good grip for sure!

Have you considered making a TFLyak channel just for David content?

Great, now Y'All got me wanting both an old Tacoma and and old Dodge with a Cummings.

Its not the Size of the Ship but the Motion of the Ocean that determines your Progress....

I was t-boned by a RAM3500 in my 96 Tacoma 2WD. So I'm biased, and I managed to survive. I miss my Tacoma. I get butterflies when a see a healthy 1st gen Tacoma. There are still a fair number of them here in CT.

Case, I hope you're getting that whole truck with business expenses! I believe TFL could pay for the truck and deduct that from your paycheck, effectively giving you the truck without having to pay income tax on the value of the truck before receiving it. That should work for gas, too. Only bc you're using it so much for your job; that ram is definitely "in the TFL fleet"!

For the build: line x the bed, rear locker, front locker (if not too expensive), rustproof the frame, update the stereo/speakers, custom rear and front bumper with winch

No lift for the Toyota ! Just tires and auto locker !

Love the baby yota

I used to yank diesel welding trucks out of the mud working pipeline with my Tacoma same year as this one. Still drive it daily, about to roll over 300k miles.

Tacoma all day, everyday

Bought my 03 Taco double-cab brand new. Over the years I’ve had several guys stop in front of my driveway asking if I wanted to sell it. No thanks!

Definitely my favorite tfl channel! The car reviews on tflcar are great don't get me wrong but the goofing around on here is great

I wish they still built trucks like this.

I have not watched the video yet but giving my experience off roading with trucks I'm going to say the taco will do circles around the dodge

That Cummins sounds like a piss off bull 😱💥

These tests at best are very inconclusive and incomplete because I know for a fact the 1st gen Tacoma's came with different rear end gearing with the factory tow package, like my 2000 Tacoma 4x4 has. And let me tell ya, even with a slight upgrade/hill, when you put mine in low-4 and take your foot off the brake, it's moving on. Every time another 1st gen Taco owner drives mine, the first thing they say is: "I love the rear end in this thing". Also: mine has the far superior manual locking front hubs, so BOTH front wheels are under constant power in 4-low or 4-high, regardless of differences in terrain or grades/angle from one side of the truck to the other. That "4 wheel drive on the fly" is only a gimmick that severely limits your 4 wheeling capabilities. Any time you leave the pavement, ya simply hop out and lock the front hubs in. My owner's manual says I can safely drive up to 55 mph with the front hubs locked in. That's plenty of speed for going up iced over paved roads & highways up a steep mountain. I bought my '00 Taco brand new, and not a year goes by where at least 1 first-gen Tacoma owner isn't trying to talk me into swapping my manual locking hubs for their "on the fly". They even offer to do the swap "for free" on my truck. Of course I just look at them and say "Yeah, I bet you would, the answer is NO".

lol its funny the trucks sitting next to each other look like father and son. ( also, very clean examples of both trucks.. Where I live trucks in that nice of condition for that age do not exist. )

As a light duty off roader, obviously the Tacoma is better, but when you have to haul 3 tons srw or 5 tons DRW in the bed, in off road terrain and with >=35% hills, that's where american full size trucks with their low crawl manual transmission gears shine, those old trucks are tractors.

Love sounds and smell of the diesel engine but I'd never sell my 01 Toyota T.R.D 4 door plus supercharger. I prefer smaller truck. I have had a 08 Full size 4 dodge quad cab 4x4. Gotta love the Yota !

Man, that little Toyota needs a LSD big time! I put one in my 2WD '98 Ranger, and honestly it should be standard in any pickup truck! For your truck that will likely spend like 75% of the time on the road as a daily driver, I would personally go with a Detroit Truetrac (torque biasing-style) or just a good ol' clutch type LSD. I'd keep lockers for a dedicated offroad rigs.

With Case ghost riding his whip, and David whipping the 4 banger in that Taco, this was a fun video!

Good tires an rear locker on the Toyota be fun little truck off roading

Give this Ranch his own channel!

If you guys still have it put in an Eaton True Trac in the rear end.

Hmm maybe a 12 valve stuffed into a yoda? Lol

Lower tire pressure in both trucks would help a LOT!

If she told you that was 8", you were lied to.

This is so ridiculous but so fun! Very entertaining!

If you pull the emergency brake lever two clicks on the Tacoma it will lock the differential

These episode's are amazing 👏!!!!

I have a 04 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner its got 190hp and a rear locking diff but not 4wd got everything the trd offroad has just not 4wd

I wanna know where David got that hat. That thing looks comfy and warm.

5:23 that's what she said

Kase what size wheels are you running on the 12v?

My Tacoma spins at idle while it’s just raining. I could imagine that on snow.

"Now we're in a pickle !" Welcome to 1957...

Chrysler quality is probably the lowest among all builders Toyota is king of reliability You can never go wrong with Toyota

That Tacoma is a Billy goat!

If I need an 8ft bed to haul construction materials, then I take the Ram. If I'm daily driving it and/or off-roading, then I'd take the Tacoma any day.
