Things That Upset Me With My 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road Truck

I love how practical and real world your reviews are.

@Jason-Samko Год назад

Thank you. I will always be honest. no reason and benefit of not being.

To get 4wd-low to engage without rocking the vehicle; Turn knob to 4wd-hi(it will engage) then to 4wd-low, turn the ignition OFF , turn ignition ON. 4wd-low engage no rocking(also work with lockers ). After-market kit is available for the Taco to use the Locker anytime(it is a plug-n play). (If you dare you can also rewire the truck to get the locker anytime). 3nd gen Taco MT I get 23mpg(stock tires-70mph), changed to Goodyear Duratracs, now 17-18mpg. Also rerouted y-pipe to prevent bashing.

@Jason-Samko 2 месяца назад

Excellent information. Appreciate this. As will many that follow me that have ers gen tacos.

@danejohnson8430 7 месяцев назад

That exhaust comment was spot on! My Gen-3 has this cross rat system and I will get rid of it.

@Jason-Samko 7 месяцев назад

I dont think you need to get rid of it. Just be careful not to drop it hard on anything or get a skid plate to cover it.

@e.1292 Год назад

Great insight as always. As a taller guy most rear view mirrors tend to be in my line of sight. I have found if you angle the pivot point closest to the window as far up as you can you will gain some more visibility below the mirror. It will take extra adjustments to get it right but its totally worth it.

@Jason-Samko Год назад

Fantastic tip. Greatly appreciated and will give it a shot

@dannylewandowski2822 3 месяца назад

Personal experience with working in a MFG company. When companies change things to make them better on an already existing make line (production of the Tacoma), it is often limiting in the companies growth. This is because efforts and attention gets shifted towards making what’s made better, rather than more of it. Extra investment must be made if companies are to change things on the spot, which is u likely.

@Jason-Samko 3 месяца назад

Very true. Fought those battles with corporate when I was an engineer

@BucksBe Год назад

I recommend ScreenProTech for the scratched up plastic glass. Put it over the scratched surface and it looks brand new. Awesome company and product. Sorry I can't help with the other issues 😂

@Jason-Samko Год назад

Was looking Into that screen saver for the gauge cluster! But it's sad that I even have to. Cheapest quality gauge cluster I've ever seen!

@honda116969 6 месяцев назад

🆕 Tacoma can't use locker unless you're in 4L just like 3rd gen... Ford ranger raptor can use locker anytime from what i understand! That's whack Toyota... And that exhaust pipe that hangs low like that is double-walled so even if it dents it will not obstruct the airflow unless you really smash it in

@Jason-Samko 6 месяцев назад

Good to know on the cross over pipe.agree 100% stupid how toyota makes you go into 4 low to use the locker

@OrcaBoat3 8 месяцев назад

Interesting video about the exhaust being so low. My 2011 Chevrolet Colorado (4WD Z85, not their Z71 off-road setup) has over 10-inches of ground-clearance (stock), AND the exhaust pipe is tucked up really high. I've been eying the 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road, but this video makes me want to rethink the idea!

@Jason-Samko 8 месяцев назад

Your 2011 colorado has 7.7 inches of ground clearance. I had a 2012 personality. Great truck!

@OrcaBoat3 8 месяцев назад

@@Jason-Samko 7.7 inches was the ground clearance for 2WD Z85 models. 4WD versions of the Z85 have 10.4 inches of minimum ground clearance. The Z71 4WDs had 11.4 inches. Anyway... seems Tacoma TRD Offroad is rather low to the ground.

@Jason-Samko 8 месяцев назад

@@OrcaBoat3 7.7 was for the z71. That's what I owned. But an amazing truck none the less!

@cbayless4294 Год назад

Seats where my #1 until I installed seat jackers. Paint that one is another one. Having the a/c water dump on the frame when they replaced so many rotted out frames and they still didn't fix the issue so I did. But like you say I love my truck also!!!

@Jason-Samko Год назад

The seats on the 21 and new are power height adjustable. so that fixed that problem. but it took them 5 years to figure it out..lol Forgot about the a/c discharge on the frame!

@cbayless4294 Год назад

@@Jason-Samko No it didn't I have a 22 offroad. I'm 5'11" with long legs and to sit right for long trips the Jackers where needed. Steering wheel needs to telescope out more then I'd be real happy.

@Jason-Samko Год назад

C Bayless my 22 trd offroad has 8 way power driver seat that really made it easy for me to find the right height. But I'm only 5'6". Agree the Telescoping wheel leaves much to be desired.

@cbayless4294 Год назад

@@Jason-Samko I have 8 way also. If the steering wheel would come out another 3-4" I would have been fine. Toyota I think did the best they could to fit the different sized buyers. Just little things that easy mods will fix and the best thing about Taco's they have a mod for everything. In your other vid about the 4th gen your right they did screw up. That's why I bought the 22 last year of the 3rd gen until covid screwed that up. I really wanted a 6' bed! Keep the Taco vids coming!!!

@Jason-Samko Год назад

C Bayless yep I honestly believe the 3rd yen is a much better truck in all ways compared to what I'm seeing on the 4th gen. I'm very happy and proud to own a 3rd gen!

@Aerospacer77 10 месяцев назад

Keep it in 4 wheel high and drive it on the sandy muddy trails. The offroad functions you are talking about are for "offroading" and meant to be used in lower speeds on really rough terrain where higher speeds are not used.

@Jason-Samko 10 месяцев назад

A locker is not necessarily a crawl speed tool. And every other manufacturer let's toy use it in 4 high. Including my rubicon gladiator. And it'd exhausting to cruise at 20 down a sand trail and then come to a mud golf and have to stop, put in 4 low, then roll and try to get locker to engage as you roll forward and backwards for 3 mins waiting for it to engage. Then drive thru mud. Then go thru all that crap to disengage and get back to 4 high only to repeat it 500 yards up the trail over and over again. Just absolutely stupid. I hated it. Really hated it.

@Falconsfan408 Год назад

Very informative video. Question why dont you like the paint? Is it cheap water based or something similar?

@Jason-Samko Год назад

It's very soft and scratches very easily

@kotklegg3367 7 месяцев назад

I started using Amsoil Signature Series 0W 20 in my 2020 Tacoma and it started getting 25 mpg on the highway after two oil changes! I wished there was a way to post a picture on here to prove it!

@Jason-Samko 7 месяцев назад

Interesting! Thats an awesome improvement. Well done!

@honda116969 6 месяцев назад

It's probably because you have those heavier E-rated tires these trucks just suck on ⛽ mileage look at the OTT tune not only did I gain horsepower+18 torque+24 but I'm also getting better mpg... I went on a little 12 mile Cruise yesterday & I drove much sportier than what I usually do & still got 21mpg the tune is finally starting to break in I got it like 2 weeks ago, I've seen between 17-19 lately since tuned b4 that around 15mpg in my '22 manual off-road fyi... & check if your truck needs TSB update if you decide to tune it they will do any TSB updates if your truck as part of the tuning process

@Jason-Samko 6 месяцев назад

Great tips and advise. Such a great truck. I actually sold mine in august and bought a 23 gladiator rubicon. So Im not tuning or doing anything more to the tacoma. But was a fantastic truck for 58k miles and 20 months I owned it.

@honda116969 6 месяцев назад

@@Jason-Samko oh wow you put some good miles on it in the time you owned it yeah I'm watching some videos on your gladiator seems like a VERY solid truck for the way you use it & that's really cool You're out there living your best life having fun! Keep it up 👍🇺🇲👍

@Jason-Samko 6 месяцев назад

@honda116969 yep I drive alot for work and then spend a minimum of 4 days a week deep in the southern swamps. I don't go to off road parks or drive over obstacles on purpose. I don't do that kind of wheeling. But I'm always in 4 wheel drive, always fighting deep mud, water crossing, deep soft sand banks etc and always alone when doing it. The rubicon gives me a sense of confidence I did nit have with the tacoma. But sure did love the taco for 75% of what i do.

@brians1147 9 месяцев назад

Just curious as to what kind of skid plate you have on yours? I'm interested in one that covers the exhaust like that.

@robertwinther5423 11 месяцев назад

That’s why I got a SR5 you can’t use your different modes unless your in 4 low

@Jason-Samko 11 месяцев назад

Yep toyota really failed with all the stuff being locked out until 4 low

@Jason-Samko 11 месяцев назад

@itsallminor6133 answer this question in both your other comments for you. When you read them you will see where I'm coming from

@Mako2-1 Год назад

I have the exact same truck. Ive SLAMMED my exhaust on rocks and nothing’s happened.

@Jason-Samko Год назад

Thats good! glad you have been fortunate. And I bet there is a little give in the runner exhaust hangers that help some. But worries me in the creek and wash out crossings with rocks.

@quietprofit5817 Год назад

4 hi is for faster 4wd driving, when your in any situation that would require crawl control, i.e driving through rough terrain, your not going fast, so you dont need to be in 4 hi. to my understanding 4 low is for you r low speed off roading maneuvers. So it makes pefect sense to have it only activate in 4 low. Same for locking the rear differential, why on earth would you need to do that while driving? as opposed to just stopping and activating it when you need it.

@Jason-Samko Год назад

So many situations where I want the locker and the mts modes in 4 high. And to have to stop and shift I to neutral, the engage 4 low, then shift to drive and puts along in 4 low, then stop on other side and go thru all that again to turn it all off and go back to 4 high is straight up exhausting. Trust me, I ha e to do it all the time. My truck lives in 4 wheel drive in the woods and swamps. I can list a hundred situations where the stuff I talk about is legit.

@Jason-Samko 11 месяцев назад

@itsallminor6133 don't need speed and a locker. But going 25 mph theu a muddy trail and see a big hole every 300 yards it would be nice to just slow down to 15, hit the locker go thru the hole and turn locker off until the next one. Instead I have to stop before the hole, go neutral, 4low, engage locker , rock back and forth half a dozen times to get it to lock, then go theu the whole, then turn it all off then repeat further down at next hole. It's exhausting and stupid. And I don't want to drive 12 miles of trails in 4 low when I don't have to. Toyota failed failed failed at this. Both Ford and chevy let me engage the locker in 4 hi. And my friend with a ranger gets so tired of waiting for me to go theu all the crap I have to just to kick in a stupid locker.

@Jason-Samko 11 месяцев назад

@itsallminor6133 I'm leaving mine stock as well. But it is amazing what you can change with a computer on these things. Kinda scary actually..lol

do you have a cracked windshield?

@Jason-Samko Год назад

yes! always seems like i have a cracked windshield. On my third windshield in this tacoma. This one got a huge stone hit literally the day after having the last one replaced

@Prisonmike89 Год назад

Why did they go from a 4L to a 3.5L on the Tacoma? Seems like people loved the old ones and they went a step back.

@Jason-Samko Год назад

I have both motors. The 3.5 taco and the 4.0 in the 4 runner. Love the 4.0 many times better! They went to the 3.5 to gain 1 mpg. But it was definitely a step backwards

@fritty9927 10 месяцев назад

Not sure if there is a max but I would not want to go more than 25 or 30
