2022 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Review: Best Tacoma Ever?

Jeff - In 2020 we had a Tacoma TRD Sport. My wife was driving it. While driving she passed out and was in a very bad accident. Thanks to the Tacoma’s safety features especially the airbags it saved her life. The Tacoma was totaled out due to the damage to the airbags. We got a 2020 Tacoma Off Road. I drive a Toyota Venza Hybrid. I will always go with Toyota. The Tacoma is a top quality truck and has the highest resale value. No one else can match that.

[@zl2848]

I have 2014 quad cab v6.....106k miles. Never had one single mechanical issue or problem with it. I've always changed the oil every 4000 miles with full synthetic and I recently changed the spark plugs. These Toyotas are amazing quality and very reliable.

[@gsdlvr123]

“It lasts”…absolutely! My son has a first generation Tacoma in gold color,(2002 TRD Off Road with locking rear diff)…my best friend bought that truck new and sold it to my son a few years ago. This truck has around 280k miles!! Only routine maintenance except for a new clutch and drive shaft recently (though his truck is lifted 5” which is hard on a drive shaft). Everything on his truck works perfectly, and drives as smoothly as new…still looks shiny and new! I purchased my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4 (Calvary Blue) new in Jan of 2019. I now have 171k miles…again nothing except for routine maintenance. We both use our trucks a lot in 4x4, so these are not mall crawlers…these are real work horses. We have been so impressed we recently bought my wife a 2022 4Runner TRD Pro (lime rush). We have a few other vehicles but I must say these Toyota vehicles are very impressive.

[@keanemorrissey5478]

This guy is hilarious! thanks for the truck overview

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

After months upon months of extensive research and reviewing trucks , I just recently ( yesterday) ordered a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road double cab long bed in Army Green . Got the technology package with bed lighting kit and bed mat . Nothing extravagant or fancy, just the necessities. I wanted a manual but you can’t get it with a long box, which is more important for my needs . This will be my first ever Toyota product in my lifetime . I’m coming out of a 2018 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring and I can’t wait to get away from that CVT BS and back into a pickup truck that will actually go places off road .

[@ajlandrew]

Would love to hear what you think when you receive your Tacoma, I’m looking into buying pretty much the same one

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

@@ajlandrew The acquisition of the truck won’t be here until late October/ mid November. I’ll let you know what I think !

[@mikestill5819]

Jeff I prefer my halogen bulbs compared to led headlights , because the halogens heat up enough to melt the snow/ice.

[@Shape_studioz]

Just got my 22 TRD off road Tacoma in blue crush metallic. Traded in my 17 SR5. Big time upgrade, Toyota fixed a lot of bugs over the past few years. Drive like a dream and it's wicked comfortable

[@TheJiggs666]

Bought a Bronco, and I regret it, thinking about buying the off-road. Anyway, congrats on your purchase!

[@PlayStationatorTV]

@@TheJiggs666 why the regret? Im considering a bronco or a tacoma in the future

[@TheJiggs666]

@@PlayStationatorTV I sold the Bronco, just didn't like the look of the soft top or the quality of the material. It looked lousy, that was literally my only complaint about the Bronco. I ended up with a Maverick XLT.

[@fireflyoS1]

You don't want led head lights for a couple reasons. 1st is heat. Snow will build up on them. 2nd is color, a halogen is a black body radiator meaning you will get a full color spectrum.

[@gdvibes1]

Love my 22TRD off-road. But those Goodyear tires were a good year. Get it.😂

[@adaumisasmr6620]

Just bought this Truck in white (short bed), around 6 days ago. I am loving it. I only have 150 miles on the odometer. It drives smoothly, accelerates quite nicely. Your reviews helped with my choice making, thank you Jeff :D I do have a question about the lights though- when you first turn the knob, is that the high beams?

[@joemarchand8313]

How does this truck ride on the highway? I'm on a list at my dealer and this one has been offered to me, but I don't off-road. Would you recommend it for 100% highway/commuter driving?

[@1001-u6r]

@@joemarchand8313 It has a factory lift kit, more aggressive all terrain tires, skid plates and a locking rear differential. If you never take it off road, there is absolutely no reason for you to buy this model.

I have Lunar Rock TRD Off Rd long bed with the tech package on order. I ordered it in early March. How long do you think it'll take until delivery? I know there are variables but just trying to get an idea. No allocation yet.

[@LeanBackMac]

I am waiting on my 2022 Lunar rock as well. Short bed with the Premium package, tech pack and led headlights. I was told that mine was supposed to start being built this week but not get it till may which doesn't sound right. Normally once the order gets in to be built it takes close to a month from being just parts to being at the dealer. Due to shortages it may take a little longer.

[@rndsommer40]

@@LeanBackMacLove the lunar rock. Willing to wait for what I want but would accept dealer incoming Tacoma of a different color if it's gonna be 6 months. When did you leave the initial deposit and build info with your dealer?

[@geelee1577]

I ordered the TRD off road in Lunar Rock as well with the advanced tech package and the dealer told me it would be 4-6 months. I found their estimated time chart on when ordered vehicles would be done and I think it said 5-6 months but now I can’t find the time chart anymore. I think if your having it delivered rather than getting it from the dealer it could be another month or two on top of that.

Yeah, a small truck needs to be killer in gas, at least mid-20s. Would love to see a diesel in one. At this rate unless you hate parking a big truck, which these days is super easy with all the cameras, there's almost reason to get a ranger, Colorado, etc other than style.

Be careful what you wish for I had a 19 Civic SI, it had halogen lights but they worked really good I wound up getting a 2020 Accord 2.0 touring LED fog lights & headlights/high beams no bullshit they barely lit up the road! the halogens in the Civic were way better so my 1st experience with LED lights even on a more premium vehicle did not work for the better, but that's just my experience...🤷

[@couchpoet1]

Headrests go in slots in rear seats when folded

[@Toyotajeff]

Wow I never realized that hahahaha thanks for the tip!!

[@honda116969]

I picked up a 2022 Blue crush metallic TRD 4x4 off-road six-speed manual I guess it only comes with the 5-ft bed but mine after all the dealer add-ons was $39,280 mine has the step bars also and they charge $415 just to black out 3 badges 🤦 all-weather floor liners $250 could of got WeatherTech for $170.. mine is the most basic truck no technology package no sunroof no heated seats I guess it's a good thing in a way because it's less stuff that can break when Toyota built this manual they were like we're giving this dude basic everything he's lucky to get power windows and cruise control probably what they were thinking 😂

[@heisenballs]

Yeah the manual doesn't get any tech. The automatic is pretty sweet tho, all the tech with the crawl control. I'm loving mine so far. I just wish the floorpan was just a bit deeper

[@honda116969]

@@heisenballs awesome glad u like yours! I wanted the more basic truck... I put real nice Carhartt seat covers on mine so I would not want leather anyways & I live in Phoenix so that's hot as fuck in the summertime. The only reason I'm not worried about crawl control generally if you're good with manual you don't need it and if that's system broke outside of warranty how much money would that cost to fix and it sounds like it's braking the truck when it's being used lol. But as long as you like it that's what matters + I doubt it would break but you never know. 🤷 And it's also much much easier to maintain a manual transmission than an automatic. But it's one of the more reliable trucks on the market that looks really good

[@heisenballs]

@@honda116969 it's not an extra system though, it's just regular abs and traction control. It's all done through software. It's not that complicated of a system. I do miss driving a manual though. I always told myself that my next vehicle would be a stick, but when I got a taste of the adaptive cruise and the other tech I just couldn't say no. Systems like adaptive cruise and lane departure are pretty old at this point and I feel very confident they've worked out all the bugs. Only time will tell, have a good day dude.

[@honda116969]

@@heisenballs yeah I agree with you bro that's y i got sick shift and I got a 95 Integra GSR 5-speed manual I've had that almost 20 years 😂 yeah hopefully it's just a simple system & you have many years of enjoyment. Mine has Lane departure warning it beeps if I go out of my lane & it has the adaptive cruise control I can change gears & it will just take back off again but if you hold the clutch in more than like 3 seconds it deactivates the cruise control. I don't know why people always want to lift these trucks up mine doesn't give a real good ⛽ mileage and if you put those bigger tires + the lift it goes right out the 🪟... And I think the truck looks totally fine stock and you get very good handling the only thing I'm going to change is go to a 75 series 🛞 & get the Ironman AT 265/75/16 10 ply... They literally have 55% more tread than the original Goodyear Wrangler territory AT! $155 a pop can't beat them.

[@DarthVader-1701]

TRD pro is fine but unfortunately it doesn't include every color option, I prefer TRD off-road since it has both a manual option and every color.

[@joemarchand8313]

But the Pro has WAY nicer wheels. It's a shame that the other trims don't offer those wheels.
