If you put the volume on mute in the beginning it looks like my dude is spitting bars

[@Lawmangamer]

Sailing Terra omg sooo true

[@andyham6094]

Best looking midsize truck hands down imo. The trd Pro Tacoma is perfect to my eyes

[@virenvs905]

awesome truck

[@Shakerhood69]

Nice truck, like that it still comes with a manual trans!

[@UntamedMotors]

I dig it! Nice review.

[@coloradoboo1071]

Toyota trucks are the closest vehicle to being "indestructible" these days. Starting in the 80's, my brother drove his T100 for almost 20 years and my Dad still has his 2000 Tundra. Me? I traded in my 2005 Tacoma a couple of years ago for a one-year old Tundra. (I needed the V-8 to pull my travel trailer.) Issues with the Tacoma? Zero, even at 100,000 miles.

[@coloradoboo1071]

Aw...I miss my Taco...I'm always checking out silver Tacoma's I drive by to see if she was mine. (I haven't seen her, yet.)

[@christophergonzalez3993]

Great review thanks !!!

[@Bleed.Blue1990]

Nice review.

[@PlugNuster]

Don't get me wrong, I friggin love the new 2017 TRD Pro Tacoma. But, I can assure you that my 2016 TRD Off Road 4X4 will perform 99.9% as well as the TRD Pro, for less $. I like the PRO so much that I put that grille on my black off road, and it looks fantastic. The thing is, if that truck had been available when I bought my 2016, that's what I would have purchased, but I am happy with mine. Great video dude, nice drone coverage.

[@adavila4732]

Hah broke ass cheater cant get a real PRO but can only get the grille LOL

[@bintarosector9]

Do a TRD Pro, ZR2 comparison, that would be super awesome

[@jasonvue6541]

great video shows, how come none of this truck TRD pro off road at the dealership? looking for one, but it's hard to find one..

[@carlitoswayz-Okan]

I might be one of the only people that wants this truck in a 6speed and it will never see any significant off roading haha. I wonder why did they go with the hood scoop and not just go ahead and include the sunroof. I'd go with the trd offroad and get the sunroof but I like the black leather in this one. nice enthusiastic review man. good job.

[@Toyota4Life]

SICK Truck. When is TRD gonna start building up Toyotas cars ? I would love to see a TRD Camry and TRD corolla and so fourth

[@qt2435]

Toyota4Life they already do. they just don't offer them in Canada or America ):

[@adavila4732]

TRD Avalon

[@loganmarquis7378]

Toyota are looking really goods nowadays 2017 was a good year

[@Maxwell1989]

beautiful Maui Island my birthplace I live there for 10 years

[@haze2477]

It is a dream to me 🙏🏼😘

[@zozoz8616]

nice man

[@su8096]

Good one

[@DonCarlo8124]

Tacoma Love!!

[@ctaks1679]

Filmed in Hawaii!

[@weesky2000]

Front looks good

[@Gazziza29]

"The ZR2 is soooo much better than the Tacoma. It has front & rear lockers. Now, how do I engage the lockers and when do I need to use them?" - From Colorado ZR2 fans

[@realaussiemale567]

Gazziza29 Use lockers when driving off-road uphill, to stop excess wheel spin, although, its better to have a diesel when going off road. More torque, lower engine rev delivers a much better performance and saves fuel, and gives better control. Unlike the stupid guy in the video tearing around trying to get sideways in mud, that's not what an SUV vehicle is built for, unless you upgrade steering components and suspension.

[@SDRacing88]

Just ignore the trolls. Especially Guy. Already ragging on the ZR2 when they haven't been released yet.....smh.

[@niksikk15]

Gazziza29 they have buttons for the lockers inside under the touchscreen and a/c and heat controlls just like a normal Colorado has for downhill assist braking and the cargo lamp

[@67wildwolf]

Wish they would have put BFG AT TA KO 2's on it instead of those Goodyear's. The Goodyear tires are great for the street but suck on the rocks.

[@janetairlines1351]

Why they put those shitty tires on such a good truck is beyond me.

[@Millirawk]

the trd pro should have included a supercharger or something to boost the hp imo. when people are serious about offroad, they're gonna want more than a pitty 278 hp in a midsized truck. nothing crazy but I think around a 340 mark would be a hearty mix of economy still and power.

[@ShizaP]

mmmm Tacoma

[@Terminxman]

What 2016 TRD Pro Tacoma are you talking about exactly?

[@JUKEBOXX1990]

I believe the payload is 1175 for the 4x4 or at least according to the 2017 brochure.

[@SelmerVidz1]

You're right. My mistake. The 1420 lbs listed in the video refers to a 4x2 model. The TRD Pro, with its 4x4, has a payload rating of 1175 lbs. An annotation has been added to the video to note the change.

[@SavageListener]

Still waiting for an X-Runner 6 speed

[@xray111xxx]

Tacoma is great. Now how about some more room in it. And improve that seating position. Otherwise. Toyota perfection.

[@Terminxman]

I've had my '16 TRD off road for a little over a year now and I love this truck, but yes, the seating position isn't right. I'm only 5'11" and I don't have the seat that far back, but the steering wheel just doesn't come back far enough to fit right.

[@Ryux4x4]

Vincent Chen and a bigger gas tank it only has a 300 mile range. I know because I own this truck. Huge disappointment. My TRD 4x4 off-road had a 400 mile range. If I would had know I would of never bought it. They should of at least made a bigger gas tank.

[@CarnutMM]

So in other words your asking for a Tundra. The Tacoma is already getting too big

[@CarnutMM]

Ryux4x4 I get 400 mile range in my ‘17 TRD off road

[@tomcat6933]

I would have got this truck but I am 6'2 and there isn't enough leg room and thigh support. Also the power was weak.

[@tatemushroom1002]

I wish it was 40K but in Canada it's 60k

[@woodchuckandfox]

i want to hear the truck

[@carbonunit]

Cost 42k in 2016 and Im looking at the same one on the used lot with 50k miles going for 42k in 2021?

[@dherring256]

Same lol

[@---rg1gb]

😂

[@bobbydemondukes]

Only $3,000 bi weekly for 15 years.

[@chazlyle41]

"some of the most fun you can have, with four wheels and a [SHORT] bed." If it was a truck I'd think about that ghastly cost haha but it doesn't come in a standard or long bed so . . . TRD OR FTW.

[@evanhasson6032]

i think the truck will outlast him...

[@2CabrasLocas]

JESUS... How many trolls is GM paying to rage about their POS ZR2?

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

awww yeeeeah dat fake hood scoop ftw !

[@changes165]

there was no 2016 TRD PRO brother

[@OfficialMINIm]

damn if they put the supercharged 3.5 or 4.0 V6 it wouldve completed the package. i hate how toyota always do this. they never give you everything. they always leave one good bit out

[@coureurdebois]

man, this just seems weak when compared to the new ZR2 with that push rod suspension, front lockers, 308 HP, and more skid plate protection.

[@MrBury74]

justin bouche the ZR2 is beautiful. Who ever buys it will love it but have to be ok with the fact that a Taco Pro will retain much more value.

[@coureurdebois]

thats the only counter argument you have? trucks statistically remain in the possession of owners far longer than any car, SUV, or CUV. most people will drive these long past the period where they will offer any large compensation. #failedArgument

[@andrewc9234]

thats all the yota guys got Justin

[@coureurdebois]

hahaha

[@ppha7665]

You mean the 2015 TRD Pro.

[@niksikk15]

don't get me wrong it's a pretty sweet ass little truck, but the zr2 is better

[@bcjdwbiernfjherwfbowfib]

Why would you review a truck and it doesn't even have 100k miles on it

[@danielhowell1640]

the glowing reports of the transmission didn't age well.

[@azphilip1960]

great video! great truck, but very uncomfortable for a 6' 2" tall person! the only problem with this truck!

[@BIGWEBB88]

engine needs more power and needs HIDs

[@SelmerVidz1]

While the 3.5-liter feels pretty good, it would be great to see more power under the hood. Same goes for the Colorado ZR2. If you wanna fight the Raptor, you need more power than the standard variant.

[@alovalentini3587]

I just wish it came in the Inferno color. I want my truck to be identified easily. The red one could be any truck, the white could be any truck, and the cement... well it's just gray to me. Not saying the I (ME) wouldnt recognize it, im saying the majority of people wouldnt. I mean the whole reason why I even acknowledged the new Tacomas was because I was intrigued with the inferno. Every time I see someone pass by with the Inferno color I recognize it and say "there goes my truck!"

[@jaeoaktrees1649]

ZR2 though

[@guyproulx1660]

GMC Jae this is a Tacoma video, no ZR2 here, there won't be a ZR2 till sometime next spring or summer

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

guy proulx I've read on another yt video comment that claim the Toyota hilux is far better/tougher than its American counterpart, tacoma

[@guyproulx1660]

Marq Vince in my opinion the Hilux is better than the Taco, same with the Land Cruiser that are used by the U.N and Isis and everyone that live in remote areas off the beaten path all over the world, Top Gear had an episode that shows how tough the Hilux is

[@MarquosXoloVanda]

guy proulx Is it far a stretch to sell Hilux in US?

[@guyproulx1660]

Marq Vince Toyota won't bring their diesels to the U.S because of all the EPA bullshit

[@hkm_865]

I'd way rather have the Colorado ZR2 tho

[@DiwaGalvez]

HKM _ same. The new Colorado looks awesome

[@JUKEBOXX1990]

HKM _ Id rather have the 2017 TRD Pro Tacoma.

[@RookieGarage]

HKM _ the Colorado has been in Europe for years, old drive train and styling . Tacoma has an amazing resale

[@Jamarkus_Delvonte]

black lives matter

[@PlugNuster]

What a thug idiot. All lives matter. You people crack me up.

[@unpreeable]

super pricy

[@hagbard72]

Tacoma TURD Pro?

[@guyproulx1660]

Robert Drake Toyota Usually Rapes Domestics

[@jx906]

Meh, a settlement on the Toileta truck frame class action lawsuit totaling $3.4 BILLION ain't no big thing, right? I mean, if you can't make a proper truck frame, HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU HAVE A RELIABLE TRUCK?????

[@driverjohns6051]

That dude talks a lot with his hands. Sorry my OCD took over.

[@chadsteele1]

So the add a lift and some other gimmicks, add 5 k to the price and the suckers line up. Just a guess tho.

[@franzbollich9314]

I have an sr5 that i put a lift and tires on for $1000 bucks. For another $500 i can put an air locker. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mrfoltz]

Kind of douchey of "Ford" to advertise on a Toyota review!

[@thelrodriguez1]

Tbh I rather buy the new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2....

[@mertz313]

Same

[@guyproulx1660]

Luis rodriguez go buy one

[@mertz313]

guy proulx Maybe he will.

[@jx906]

Head and shoulders above the rear drum brake equipped Tacoma....never had rear discs, never will. No Takata airbags, no rust-prone frame, and no danger of unintended acceleration. Better built, more capable, available DIESEL power...the list goes on. Seriously, all Tacomas have rear drum brakes. That should be the only reason to avoid the overrated Toileta products. Just sayin'

[@guyproulx1660]

Goliath X Yearly reliability ratings prove you wrong every single year lol, are you talking about the mighty powerful181 hp diesel in the RECALLORADO lmao, did you really waste your money on that junk?

[@ripster9713]

Jesus that thing is hideous
