2024 Toyota Tacoma: 6 Month Ownership Review

[@TheUserReview]

Thank you to everyone for your support on this video series, it has really helped out my channel A LOT! Please don't hesitate to ask questions about the truck!

[@as2223]

3 months and 3100 miles on my 24 Taco TRD and no complaints, it's one of the best vehicles I've owned out of 50 plus. Hard to imagine a truck be nimble and fun to drive, with all the creature comfort's plus utility of a 4x4 truck. They did good.

[@TheUserReview]

100% agree. So much fun to drive!

[@hunter3563]

I’ve had mine since July , it had a dcm issue where it wouldn’t connect to remote services took the dealer 2 months to fix it but I’ve since got it back been driving for the last 2 months already put 2100 miles on it and it’s just amazing

I got an incredible lease deal on a ‘ 24 Taco SR5 4dr 6’ft bed. Replaced a ‘20 Taco. No complaints. Turbo is strong, exhaust is tuned to sound nice. Steering & Interior is much better. 4 wheel disc brakes & upgraded suspension. Great truck.

[@MV-df8jl]

Lease is never a good deal for you, it’s only great for the dealerships 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Highwayspet]

First time Tacoma owner, ‘24 trd sport 6spd. Love it, despite all the hate online.

[@TheUserReview]

🤷‍♂️ Not sure why either, great truck 👍

[@gadesgades2832]

Got my trd sport this past weekend in the underground color. Really loving it so far

Just purchased 24 tacoma sport just love it same color black powerful no problems so far only have a few weeks interior is great like a mini tundra lol

[@TheUserReview]

Interior was a big selling point for me. I like the all black interior. Most of the ZR2’s I looked at had black everything then a disgusting beige color headliner with pillars, really ticked me off for some reason lol just make it all the same color!

I have had my ‘24 Sport Premium since May right at 4k miles. Average mpg is 20 according to the computer. No mods. Yet. Absolutely LOVE this truck. I also own and will keep my ‘21 Sport (heavily optioned) . Both are great trucks, the ‘24 is just so much more.

[@TheUserReview]

20 mpg is pretty darn good, with my heavy foot I could never 🤣

[@steveareeno65]

I have a 2024 SR 4 x 4 and I'm getting over 24 miles per gallon average. Most of my driving is residential roads with roundabouts, stop signs, and stop lights. I am a pretty mellow driver though.

[@josebarraza1607]

I have a 24 trd sport, love it but you were spot on with the exhaust comment - crushed it the second time i went offroading lol

[@istWOOBAR]

It is nice to know I'm not the only person who thinks the Exhaust leaves a lot to be desired. Got a '24 TRD Offroad and the FIRST thing I did to it was put the NYTOP axel dump exhaust on it. It looks SO much better, and it's much more practical especially if you take it off road.

[@jesussal1980]

I have six months 8000 miles everything is going well 👌in my tacoma

Great vid! Super informative and clear. Showed all the important parts of the truck too!

[@TheUserReview]

Thank you sir 🫡

[@66scooterdaytona]

The plastic bumpers end pieces are not good. Also, if you do back into anything and the impact in on the plastic ends the bed will crumple easily. Not sure if this is for safety (crumple zone) or flimsy build. I suggest getting a full steel rear bumper from ARB or similar.

[@FranciscoJoséCiudadTorres]

Looks amazing when you buy the fenders flares ?

[@DCtropical]

Will say, waitlist for TH and TRD Pro must depend on location, the southeast region seems to have more of them in stock, and even some dealers I know seem to have trouble getting them off the lot. IMO so glad I got the nonhybrid TRD Off Road

[@TheUserReview]

I think so too. Even if I had the option at the start to get a Pro off the lot I wouldn’t have done it. I prefer to do the upgrades myself but it is nice to see all those things comes ready right from the factory 👍

[@BlazingVisuals]

Super stoked about getting my brand new taco. I was able to get a 2024 TRD-Offroad premium fully loaded for 44k. Ofc I had to go with the 6ft bed as well :D

[@TheUserReview]

Nice that’s a great price! Definitely a no-brainer at that point. Had to go with the 5ft so that I would fit in my garage.

[@coltonpoulter7936]

How did you get one so cheap every one around me is around 50 k for that

[@BlazingVisuals]

@@coltonpoulter7936 perks for working for Toyota 😎

[@dawsongranger4940]

I highly recommend going to shop and having the truck fluid-filmed every year. Rustoleum is a horrible idea since it just traps in moisture and rusts your truck tenfold faster. Toyota did do a lot more to this truck to prevent rust than say ford (who left uncovered holes in the frame) but fluid film is like $200 a year

[@thechickenacrossthestreet8563]

I think it looks really good but, I think it would be wayyyy better if it had a longer bed

[@TheUserReview]

Nice thank you! I had to go with the 5ft bed so that I would fit in my garage 😬

[@donalpoolarana-sk4iv]

I love it , i really like, but I'm not happy with city mpg, and transmission, they replaced already to my trdsport. I got 2500miles

[@TheUserReview]

Wow no way that’s crazy! That’s the first I have heard of a transmission being replaced

[@donalpoolarana-sk4iv]

@@TheUserReview toyota sent TSB, (not recall) but mine was not in the vin list. The mean many taco's will need transmission replacement

[@marklagace5728]

If you put 285/70r17 on stock wheels, it won't rub . It's your off set that making it rub. You probably got 0 off set on your truck. If you go + 25 and up it won't rub .It come in +55 off set.

[@MavsCoachSW21]

One of my complaints is also the exhaust… thought they could’ve designed and placed it better. Great review tho

[@TheUserReview]

Thank you! Would have been cool if they did a before the rear tire side dump exhaust

[@VictoriaWargaming]

ugh.. everyone was saying 285's don't rub. might have to rethink mine.

[@TheUserReview]

They only rubbed for me at the sharpest turning angles and it can also depend on the tread pattern/sidewall pattern. Mine was just the outside nubs running slightly. Not enough to be a problem but more of an annoyance.

[@mrnicewtf8301]

Sup gentlemen just got me a brand new trd sport fully loaded with the iforceMax this new gen truck is miles ahead of my 3rd gen taco 😎👍🏾🤌🏾🍻

[@Domane-mh8wg]

Do you have a link for your aftermarket fender flares?

[@paulpryor850]

I opted for the Limited! Unfortunately, I regret that decision now. With the AVS, you're limited to only leveling the truck. Also, with being an owner of this platform in a rust belt state. Because my passenger rear fender flare is all chipped up. From the state and local municipalities, oil and chipping roads. All of the excess chips lay on the right side of the road. Plus, the limited comes with worthless SST tires and poor excuses for mud flaps. Which contributed to the problem! So, now I must fix those issues out of pocket. New tires, better mud flaps, and probably going to have to wrap certain areas that Toyota neglected. Like the painted plastic front-end, the fender flares, and the rear bumper. After watching this video, I may have to look into undercoating the truck. This stuff is starting to add up. I'm not just knocking Toyota, but if all of these automakers continue to skimp on details. Then, price gouge consumers on bad builds or inferior materials. Give them three shots to fix it. Or start lemon lawing these vehicles. I took my truck into Toyota on Friday. The service and sales managers took pictures to send to Toyota. Before leaving, I made them give me a work slip for this issue. Strike one! Two more, and the vehicle is eligible for the Lemon Law. If these manufacturers want premium prices. We deserve a premium product!!!!!

[@TheUserReview]

I thought about the limited because one of my best friends has a Tundra limited and I liked it a lot. Yes I too agree that for the price, they could have done a little extra for us, at least a factory undercoating 🤷‍♂️

[@MrSuzukiyamaha]

Dude bought a fifty five thousand dollar truck and can’t swing a razor.

[@waifumon1552]

Are you in Michigan by chance? I work at a Toyota dealership and feel like I recognize the truck is all.

[@jamesfrancis9520]

Don't paint the frame. Apply a lanolin based undercoating.

[@TheUserReview]

What brand do you go with? I have seen Fluid Film before but always got worried it would come off after washing the salt off

[@RobLaSane1969]

A Ranger Raptor is far superior in every way

[@TheUserReview]

Please explain, I’d like to hear more. I almost got one myself!

[@RobLaSane1969]

@ better suited to off-roading , better interior with more room. Significantly better engine . Torque and horse power numbers dwarf the Tacoma , front and rear locking differential. I mean it’s just way better.

[@wd8085]

Im shocked it lasted 6 months.

[@TheUserReview]

Only driving it around the mall parking lot helps a lot too

[@aknadiri2520]

Sure, a great truck for 50K

[@sumncguy]

Power is my concern. I owned a Taco extended cab 4x4 4 cylinder. What a pig !

[@TheUserReview]

@@sumncguy i would go test drive a new one for sure to get a feel for it. Compared to my ‘21 TRD PRO, it has the same if not better acceleration and I do not notice a power drop at all. Could just be me but I was also concerned about that as well when picking out my truck. Hope this helps!
