My 08 SR5 just got rear ended a few days ago. If my insurance company decides to total it. Either I’m getting a newer 4Runner or I’m out of the squad.

I see you replaced your transmission cooler lines mine was leaking during the eclipse

Just stop.

First? First. Just did my oil change on my 4Runner a week ago. Only broke one skid plate bolt. Need to upgrade to a different skid with a oil filter access panel

ditch the stick! love the car. i tried posting the link but check out the MR2HEAVEN ENGINE LID GAS STRUT KIT. if the strut bar doesn't conflict

Have you ever had issues with the hatch door not working dosent open on me

Enjoy while we can. imagine working on electric cars making modifications. I already picture some of us growing old , boring and have nothing mechanical to do for fun.

One solution for the truck hunting for gears is to just buy a manual. It's one of the reasons to buy a tacoma as they are getting closer and closer to full size trucks both in size and price. I'll keep my old one that only has automatically locking hubs, AC and power windows. Everything else is manual and relatively simple.

Great video man🇨🇦fellow Canadian

Tacoma, unless you absolutely need to regularly haul or tow. In my experience most guys with full size pickups just drive them on the road and could get away with a camry. Plus aftermarket.

whatever the degree of weather is, while riding it's 10 degrees lower..

I have been using K&N filter for 8 years and never had an issue. K&N does not ruin your MAF sensor and has been proven.

3.4L Still the best

Buy the Tundra - then work smarter.

Toyota issued an interim recall for 22-23 Tundras for blown engines. Can you make a video about that?

Coming from a 2014 Tacoma access cab with a 6 speed, traded in for a 2014 tundra double cab, the only thing I miss was the manual. The tundra is just a bigger, heavier, more powerful Tacoma. Can’t go wrong with either, but the tundra fits the family, so that’s what we went with.

Why wouldn’t you want your car repainted if it’s a good paint job??? Because it would make the car look better

Hi there I can't seem to find a bolt size for the two bolts that hold the line to the frame. Do you have that info saved somewhere? The part i ordered didnt come with any bolts!

I owned a 2021 limited trd off road 4x4 double cab and I’ll give an unbiased opinion, (owned a ton of 4Runner and Tacoma trd off roads in multiple generations) the seat was pretty comfortable and the 5.7 is definitely the main strength and pro of the car, road trips were absolutely the best in it compared to 4Runner and Tacoma Payload sucks, worse than my 4cylinder 4x4 regular cab Tacoma, felt like Toyota really dropped the ball on that Off roading besides a fire trail sucks especially compared to a 4Runner or even Tacoma trd off road City daily driving isn’t too bad obviously street mpg sucks but freeway mpg wasn’t too far from 4Runner and taco I got about 16mpg freeway doing 70 75 lifted with big tires Parking is kinda a pain since a lot of lots are small so you constantly worry about door dings, u turns suck I think its a beautiful truck and mine had the pro exhaust which I absolutely loved Basically it’s like a giant Tacoma without the off road goodies but you do get a more comfy seat and of course that wonderful 5.7 It’s basically a light duty truck and a good family hauler if y’all are 6 feet and taller including the kids

So difficult to get in the uk.

Tundra 1794 for the win! 😅 More space, solid ride/drive/tow, plus a 38-gallon gas tank to drive 500 miles straight without refilling. 😊 Great comparison you did there.

Do you know if the wire colors are the same on V6 vs V8 models? Thanks for all great content!

Haha i have an 05 with 265k and you were spot on with everything here, from the center console to the ac resistor

Cool. They even match your paint.

The oil tends to mess mass airflow sensors

What year model your tacoma.thank you

my ac is missing a whole bolt yet its run like normal the last 10k miles

I got a 2008 manual Tacoma with 55k miles a couple of months ago I love it

Great insight as usual, good exercise for any vehicle purchase!

I bought a four door, 6ft bed, SR5, 4x4, 2011 Tacoma with 180k miles from my father in law... absolutely LOVE the truck!! The mileage isn't even a concern for me! Runs like new and gets 18mpg in town 21mpg on the highway! Definitely pick one up if you get the chance!

I have a 2024 with 1600 miles and... never mind.

I own a 2012 TRD sport 4x4 double cab in manual, is the only raason I don't own a tundra is because they don't have manuals 🥺🥺but I love my taco and having a sprint booster adds to the fun of driving it 😎👍🏽

Hopefully, I'll be the proud new owner of one this weekend. Pray for me fellas!

My neighbor and I towed our 2 horses and her trailer for years with her Tundra, great towing MPG and she didn't burn out brakes. Used Michelin tires which cost as bit more, but they lasted and lasted forever.

Definitely upgrade suspension and brakes! Don’t give up the ole girl

Tacoma is also far more reliable.

Cannot go wrong with a 4.0L Tacoma. Reliable and durable. I have the OTT tune on mine which adjusts throttle response and shift points and its been fantastic. Will eventually rebuild and install a procharger with a few upgrades to internals but from what I've researched, Toyota over engineered these engines so they might not be very powerful or fast bone stock. BUT, they do not wear out like the majority of other engines with proper maintenance intervals. Hence why you still see so many of them on the road today going strong. The bottom ends on these are so robust they are often compared to LS engines with how beefy the bearing caps are. The crankshaft is a thick boy too.

Canadian Gearhead, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!

Stop it. Forget about it.

I own a Tacoma, but if I could afford to buy a good tundra and afford the gas, I would buy the tundra.😊

What's your choice? Tacoma or Tundra?

Bro, my v6 Tacoma 2023 gets the same gas mileage

I have a 2010 and i wouldnt trade it for the new ones with the crappy turbos if the trade was straight

Pop up head lights...I'm sold. What a gorgeous car.

Most people dont wanna go through the process. 90% of the guys I work with simply just dont wanna service them, they just want to replace out of pure impatience. If you're just getting the filter, then no use. It doesnt really make a difference unless you're going with an aftermarket box. All in all...wix sucks, overpriced. Go with Fram or motomaster

Another trick is bring a magnet with you. You can stick it to the steel body to see if there's any bondle.

Making videos like these makes them not even worth buying cause they charging 20k for a vehicle with 200k miles I never drove so they just keep raising the price . I get they are reliable but not invincible. The prices on these things is a bit over kill .

Purchased a used 07 Tacoma 2wd double cab long bed several years ago and love it! I had two recalls which were the leaf springs and one for a bad air bag sensor (I believe they replaced the clock spring). I live down south so I don't have to worry about salt on the roads but the sunlight faded the paint on my roof really bad. If you buy a 2ns gen please make sure you keep it waxed!

Also to add to your great video is the fact these trucks don't have a locking tailgate. You can easily steal them. A cheap fix is to use a hose clamp and wrap it around the pivot point. Although this isn't 100% protection it's better than nothing and will slow down a thief.

That oil leaking is good rust preventer!
