2020 Toyota Tacoma - A smaller but better pickup

[@frankuribe3924]

At the end of the day what you’re mainly purchasing with Toyota is reliability

[@akui88]

my dad had a 1994 Toyota Camry XLE V6 until 2012, when my mom traded it in for a rav4 limited v6! my dad still drives his 1999 Toyota Camry v6 every day, its' 2020 and my mom wants to trade it in... my dad said he will trade it in when it needs a major repair, i don't think that is gonna happen anytime soon... my neighbors use to be chevy and ford guys, they now drive toyotas cause they got tired of needing repairs every few months.

[@officialyasir]

Except Tacoma’s aren’t even as reliable as they used to be..

[@officialyasir]

Chris L check out the consumer reports reliability survey or Tacoma world.

[@officialyasir]

Chris L resale value is still pretty good but you’re starting see it come down a bit too. It’s not stellar as it was for the 2nd gen Tacoma’s. People are starting to realize that a) they just aren’t that great to drive (low torque motor and poor transmission programming) and b) reliability not as good as the 2nd gen

[@omegapete1987]

Agreed. Legendary reliability throughout Toyota truck history.

Don't know what he's comparing to but the Tacoma is NOT difficult to keep centered.. it is fantastic as far as all other trucks I've driven in the past - strong cross winds won't even affect it at highway speeds. The Jeep I drove last week was a different story!

[@vltruan]

justin Case The Jeep looks cool, buts it’s a brick, and not as reliable in comparison. I would never trade a 4x4 Tacoma for one. There’s a reason why they use the Taco/hilux in other parts of the world as tanks.😄👌

It's like the nimble guy in the back of the room who doesn't feel the need to prove himself because he knows what he's capable of. ... but yeah, dude that price, idk...

[@j.r.777]

The TRD Pro and TRD Off Road are built for 1 main purpose. Off road on any terrain but with Toyota reliability. I don’t care about the gas mileage or rougher ride on the road. I had a 1997 Toyota Tacoma that was an extra cab 4 cylinder. That truck had unreal capabilities and I still wish I owned it to this day. It was a 5 speed manual and in the 4 years that I owned it I put 218,000 miles on it. All of those miles were either off roading in the desert, or rock crawling in the mountains. The truck was also my work truck when I worked for my Uncles drywall company. I used to haul and tow well past its recommended capacities. The only thing that I ever did to that truck was a new clutch at I think either 172,000 miles or maybe it was 176,000? I couldn’t believe it lasted that long though. The power steering pump went out a month after buying it new but that was a warranty issue. And then the passenger front brake went metal to metal at only 9,000 miles and would always wear much faster than the drivers side. I think years later there was a recall on the calipers sticking. When I put 4 PIAA 80 Racing Series off road lights and a pre runner bumper on the truck the shop accidentally drilled through the radiator. They ended up putting a new aftermarket radiator that was bigger in it but it kept the truck running slightly cooler too. I then snapped a leaf spring at work one day hauling a pallet of boxes of drywall mud. Each box weighed 5 lbs. and I think there were 60 boxes on a pallet. I then had other materials loaded as well. My Dad was friends with a guy that custom built a lot of suspensions for vehicles that race in the Baja 1000. He put custom made heavy duty leaf springs under my truck and then leveled the front as well. I ended up having better ground clearance and off road capabilities in addition to being able to hall more weight too. He swapped out the stock shocks front and rear for adjustable, custom made reservoir shocks and I never again had another suspension issue. That truck was a really good truck. I even got married in it at the Drive Thru Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. My next Tacoma was a 2007 TRD Off Road extra cab with a 6 speed manual. The rear locker in it made that truck also a very good off road capable truck. I got rid of it in I think 2014 or 2015? I needed a full size truck because none of my kids fit in the back seat. I also really miss that truck a lot! Because of that and my really liking the new TRD Pro Tacoma’s, I am thinking about keeping my full size truck for family stuff but buying one of those. We live in Colorado now and I know tons of places a few hours away that I can go off roading. All that I would need to do on that truck is ditch the stock tires for some 10 ply BFG All Terrain TKO’s and add some off road lights to it and it would be ready to go. Put a Baja Design ONYX 6, 50” light bar on it and it’s good to go. Maybe a winch as well.

[@janetairlines1351]

I love how they got rid of the legendary 4.0 v6 just to save about 1 mpg

Not really using all the off road features which has its place for serious enthusiast but Sold it and went with the Ford F-150 XLT with Coyote 5.0 litre actually better mileage towing and on a long trip like sitting in my lazy boy chair at home, absolutely zero fatigue.

Best Truck in the World, Nothing even comes Close!

[@ronmac1832]

He's right about hunting gears. My 2018 TRD OR did the same, but somehow I've adjusted my brain or my right foot. I average 22 mpg with 50% of my driving at 60 mph. What is weird is that if I'm going steady 55-60 mph it gets 28 mpg. Above 65mph, mpg drops fast. It's not fast, smooth, good on gas or cheap ... but I'm keeping it.

[@apolonioman5479]

Ehh, I’d have the gladiator as a toy man. This is more of a work truck. I don’t see why they add bells and whistles to these. You’re right, this has more reliability, hence for the working man using it for A to B transport or light payloads. You don’t buy a Jeep for its reliability either. You buy one because they’re fun as hell. If money’s an issue, head for the TRD pro (a lot of bang for buck) and if you don’t really care; buy the gladiator. I have a raptor and a JL. I prefer the JL because I can go topless here in Texas frequently... I had a Tundra for the longest time. Didn’t go back to Toyota because its awful interiors. Cheers

[@alwaysiyi272]

To me, this is one of the best looking trucks in this segment and for a stock exhaust it sounds pretty good, at least if you have heard a ranger or a Gladiator lol, and the 2020 just seals the deal for me, so one today, it has so much presence, and after being driven on one it isn't all that slow and when it was punched the transmission was quick enough and those of you complaining about mpg go buy a hybrid, the offroad bits is what causes the mpg drop

I work at a ‘yota dealer and we have a couple of owners complaining on how hard it is to drive in a straight line. Dealt with one of them not too long ago who bought one of our used Tacoma with just 5,000 miles. After requesting to drive TWO Tacoma’s off the lot to compare, not seeing any difference, and still insisting something was wrong with his truck I told him straight up that perhaps it’s not the vehicle for him and that he should buy a Mercedes if he cares about stability.

[@daltynbrewer3565]

I was definitely in the same boat at first but when you look at the capabilities of those trucks they are honestly insane. I’ve got a 19 ranger which doesn’t offer as much offroad goodies as the zr2 or trd pro. But being that I didn’t need a full size truck and still wanted some offroad ability the ranger was perfect for me. Yes I could spend 3k more and get a full sized truck but the ranger was fully loaded and to get a fully loaded full size truck I’d be lookin at another 10k.

Problem with the third generation is in their attempt to get better mileage went with the terrible 6 speed that robs the motor torque by shifting early and searching gears. Its a shit drive train.

The reliability and quality negates the petty negatives

[@dlg5485]

Obviously, that's a matter of opinion and, having just purchased a 2020 TRD Offroad that definitely has some annoying issues, I completely disagree with the characterization that any of this is "petty." It has little to do with reliability, which I suspect will be pretty solid with this truck. It's more about diminishing build quality (which is what you get when you chase cheap labor, Toyota) and the day to day driving experience. It can be extremely annoying dealing with the many quirks of this truck on a daily basis...such as the transmission's absurd gear hunting, endless drive line vibrations, and alignment issues. For what my truck cost, it is absolutely a disappointment in my eyes. I hope like hell it does turn out to be reliable because I'm stuck with it now.

[@kgbreviews35]

@@dlg5485 speaking on the bashing of Toyota for cheap labor. They've been assembling tacomas in Baja California( Mexico) since the 2bd generation. And the 2nd generation is considered to be extremely reliable, especially the 2013 to 2015 models. So this complaint about the new tacomas means nothing. If you don't like the automatic. Get the manual transmission. It's that simple..

[@dlg5485]

@@kgbreviews35 Again, you are confusing reliability with quality...two completely different things. I have little doubt that a new Tacoma will be pretty reliable mechanically. The issue is the lack of refinement and an overall feeling of quality. Incidentally, I sold my 2020 Tacoma after just 6 months of ownership because I hated driving it that much. The chassis vibrations drove me insane and Toyota simply would not address it. I am extremely disappointed in Toyota and will likely never buy another one.

[@patricklondon6006]

What you're getting with a Toyota is the reliability MYTH! The Toyota Tocoma has been a reliable nightmare for Toyota. I've have had 3 pos from Toyota. 2 Corolla's a 1999 and 2001, both at 80,000 miles started burning more oil than gas! I changed the oil every 3,000 miles. I also had a 1992 Toyota pickup truck. Same issue at 80,000 miles. Plus the clutch went out before a 100,000 miles. And I'm not the only person with these issues. Toyota's have has many issues, such as broken frames, rusted frames, sticking gas pedals, CVT issues, weak piston rings, and the list goes on. Toyota is no better than other car makers, there just better at covering up their over priced unreliable vehicles. I worked for a company that made Toyota parts as well as others.

Steve Hicks Why did early owners complain about the auto being “gutless”?

[@armandcouture4655]

Agent. K. It is because the Tacoma needs better gearing. Either to 4.88s or 5.29s. Especially if adding bigger wheels/tires. The engine is fine producing enough power and my 2020 TRD off road does not hunt for gears like many 2017+ owners had complained about. The Taco seems a little more dialed in transmission wise. People say it lacks power going up hills on the highway. I have not really experienced this at all yet however.

I have a 1994 land cruiser with more than 880k kilometers in the odometer. Toyota sure know how to build cars. My next car is TRD pro manual transmission Tacoma. Wish me luck

One rear in collision could be game over with it having a plastic bed.

I love Tacoma Truck.

[@Iamcg3]

Very well done video. Enjoyed it.

[@futbol1972]

I have a wife, a 17 year old kid and a 90lbs dog. I am looking to get a pickup truck sometime next year 2020. I have watched your videos to try to see which would fit our needs best. The trouble is most all reviews focus on towing. My situation is a little different. My primary purpose is to haul the family and commute to work daily ( about 60/40 city/freeway) nothing extreme, and only about 50 miles a day round trip). The truck aspect is for the occasional trash haul, or helping someone move, or getting plywood at Home Depot for some project. With all that being said, I want the most comfortable room, best fuel economy, reliability, safety and price. What is your recommendation? Thank you..

[@chrisao1987]

Yeah take advice from a city boy who wears a fuzzy hooded jacket and tennis shoes in the snow.

[@CannonRaw]

" it's a work truck" proceeds to show nothing of work related. Like how it feels carrying a trailer with variety of loads. Contrasting the fuel efficiency under said loads. Then hauling a trailer in a variety of environments. That's what people buy and look for in a truck.

[@503945158]

Didn't know that knowledge came in specific clothing.

[@calripson]

Should have made an offroad with an extended cab, a 6 foot bed, and a manual.

[@northerntoyota7584]

Cal Ripson in Canada we get that exact truck you described

[@calcrappie8507]

My "tiny" new 2021 Tacoma SR V6 4X4 barely fits in my garage. My 2002 Tacoma SR5 2.4l 2WD Xtra Cab is nearly 3 feet shorter.

[@chasingwaves11]

Damm 48k for a Toyota!!! That’s crazy !

[@gustavoreyes7366]

The Tacoma has out improved all makes by having the Great oil filter kit and rear Drums as standard equipment, What a Deal!!!

[@Geronimo.Victor1511]

I had the SprintBooster in my 2016 Tacoma. Really improved the acceleration and shifting. I’ll buy another Tacoma when they redesign if they put a new engine in it. For now my wife and I will be driving our 4runner and motorcycle.

[@HFVidShotz]

Careful bra! You're talking about the "TACOMA" . Watch your back. 😜

[@BotasNegras10]

HFVidShotz no catch cracks 😂

[@bryant4555]

So pretty 😍 to need this in my life but maybe in black.

Or voodoo blue

[@gregkerchner3175]

Its very rare I put my two cents in these things but I just sold a 2010 Jeep Wrangler for a tacoma 2019 TRD off road with the long bed 4 door 4x4.Toyota gave me 10,000 for my trade and with the CarGurus app that shows a great deal to a fair one I got it for 35,000 out the door! The jeep had 90,000 miles on it and it never broke down and only had a couple of recalls but all cars are getting those now a days.I will let you know in ten years about the tacoma.

[@dewberry3043]

Gawd it's beautiful!

[@cromanxx1]

Has Toyota addressed rust issue ? Owned a new 2014 Tacoma with 297K miles and ran good. Frame rusted out. Toyota did not allow me to participate in rust lawsuit. Easily would have gone 500K. Now I lease a Nissan Rogue.

[@travelinben1966]

Nothing “tiny or small” about the Tacoma.It’s nearly as big as a full size pickup.

[@samadrid6321]

Agreed. They're huge.

[@aaron5222]

No way. The cab feels smaller than my 2018 GTI. Especially the back seat. I also just sold a 2002 1500 4 door ram. That thing was massive compared to the tacoma. On that note. I would love to see the mini/small truck market to return.

[@samadrid6321]

@@aaron5222 I had a 1987 Toyota truck bought brand new and stolen by drug addict 2016. Taught both my kids to drive a stick in it. But the 2002 Tacoma with extended cab is just way better. Still had a six foot bed. I just can't abide a truck with a weak ass five foot bed.

[@travelinben1966]

ryvr madduck Agreed.

[@aaron5222]

@@samadrid6321 I had to have a manual, I agree 5 foot bed is a joke. But it's my daily/ weekend warrior. I plan on getting a small trailer for my projects.

[@georgev5766]

I love the hilux and the land cruiser. The Tacoma used to make sense about 15 years ago, but the biggest problem that truck faces is how good the full size trucks are getting. You can get a raptor for another $7k. Hell, you can get a ram rebel or an fx4 for less money that this Tacoma. I get the reliability outside the US. Not here where roads are great and off-roading is optional. $50k for a Tacoma is outrageous.

[@drakeanton2000]

Nah you aren’t getting a new rebel or mid trim level truck for less than a Tacoma. Not many need all the options with the trd pro so a trd off road which is around $40k is a base model ram or f150

[@TM-gv6zv]

The way I see it is the more technology you put inside of a truck the more damage you can do if you really work that truck. For example if you're working a truck in construction and you get it muddy or a very dirty who says it won't destroy a computer or maybe even a anti-lock brake sensor. All I'm saying is there's a right place for everything and more technology in a work truck especially one designed to go off-road is asking for trouble.

[@southpaw1995]

[@mudstone6497]

That dudes back looks really sore! Is there a chiropractic office in them their woods?

[@drn13355]

It needs 30 more TRD badges on it.

[@FirstNameLastName-wo7li]

why do you guys always review the most expensive trim???

[@philiptarnaski1667]

Toyota for sure 👍

[@josh2676]

Man that mpg is laughable, i thought the whole point of getting a smaller truck was to save fuel economy?

[@lucastopforthyouds3445]

I had the tacoma and the only time your ever going to need a full size truck is for carrying snowmobiles.

[@markdafunky1]

If you got money to burn, buy the Pro. Otherwise, spend the extra money you saved with the Offroad on better suspension and other aftermarket bits

[@jkl1]

Why does it look so goddamn sexy

Thanks for adding the Arabic language to the translation .. Please add the Arabic language translation to the rest of the videos .. I like your reviews

[@subninja8069]

I didn't know you can get this in Egypt less your somewhere else

[@Therapistgabe]

I thought I was the only one who had difficulty keeping the truck center of the lane!

[@aaron5222]

I have a 2020 manual. The auto was terrible. If I had one complaint it's the gear ratios suck and are clearly for MPG. When you shift gears it falls out of the Powerband. 5th and 6th are too close and I find myself skipping 5th or not using 6th unless I am going 65+.

[@libaaxalee]

If you want reliability Toyota and Honda is where it is at. That why I buy nothing but those brands. I bought a Chevrolet Malibu less than 20k before it hit 30k transmission was acting up, traded in never spent money on other brand but Toyota and Honda.

[@SuperRobbie1976]

i have 2016 tacoma sport i hope to get a lot of miles out of it. its my first toyota.
