In today's video we take a stock Toyota Tacoma on a brand new trail in Mexico called the Baja Rubicon.
This is a great test for the Toyota crawl control as well as many other aspects of my 2021 Tacoma TRD off-road. Adventures should never be once in a life time but with how amazing this experience was I can't help but feel like this is a trip I will never forget. These types of videos are extremely difficult to film and edit so I hope you enjoy them! Even with all of the time and money invested in these I love making this type of content!

Unless it had solid axles, it probably would have struggled a bit. I have no doubt it can easily do this but it’s just the limitations of its suspension

@RyanRKJ 2 года назад

@@cristianortega5850 it was a bit stressful, because I'd bottom out on a lot of things. No damage though, other than a side step that I should have just taken off before the trip. I did have to turn back on one trail, because my truck just could not do it, but other than that, I hung with them for the weekend, and had a good time.

One of the first things we learned from desert wheeling is make sure you can see the vehicle behind you, if you lose sight of it radio ahead and wait for them to join back up . Safety first people can die out there. Love the video 🤙🏼

Bro, this video of BAJA in a stock TACOMA was Epic and arguably your best work thus far. The cohesiveness, comoladarie; teamwork, adventure and the breathtaking sceneries did it for me. Your video editing skills (particularly on this video) is undeniably the best in the 4x4 TOYOTA RU-vid that I have seen - its almost cinematic. I watch lots of your tutorials too but this one, to me was the best. You managed to capture and exude a side of Mexico that we Americans don't know of - we only hear about the Cartels and Poverty and Illegals but never thought it would be a place for adventurous excursions. Thanks for the Delivery brother 🙏

I Just bought a 2021 Tacoma DCSB TRD off road 4x4 with the Tech & premium pkg and crawl control has saved me 3X already here in the Arizona desert , where rear locker was on truck would not make it up few steep deep rutted out hills but crawl control made it with ease . Just remember crawl control will not work if you have your locker on the whole purpose of crawl is each wheel is free to get torque when mostly needed for traction, I’m really impressed with this new Tacoma I will definitely keep it for many many years . I give it up to you man I couldn’t do that to my brand new truck , awesome video though , keep em coming 👍🏻

I cut wood for my wife's niece house every year since. I put a few dents and scratches on it. My wife was pretty upset. I just said. We bought it for hauling and hunting and such. It's not going to be a mall- crawler with fancy wheels. Then we got spray liner in the bed. Best investment I ever made. Still has stock tires. But bent them. So I invested in aluminum rims. Still ticking at 348 ,000 miles on the same trans. I am hooked on your channel watching. This is cool. I love going off road. Im 66 yrs older. I have a 2000 disco also. Working on my 68 GMC this summer.
