What I find amazing is that one day, all these cars we see coming out today we will see in a used car lot in 20 years and they'll be the same as seeing cars and trucks from the 90s and 00s in those same lots now. We will still say, "look how far we've come".

[@robertnewhart3547]

That's deep. Is that Chomsky?

[@BlueOvals24]

I don't think it will be quite the same in 20 years. Cars have grown a lot from 90s cars because of a big boom in safety and technology. I don't see cars getting much bigger in 20 years.

[@antibrevity]

I'm glad this was discussed as I've been completely baffled at why "full-size" pickup trucks keep getting bigger when they were already the biggest consumer vehicles on the road. No one needed a bigger 1/2-ton truck, so why did they buy them? If you needed more power and towing capacity, you could simply buy a 3/4 or 1-ton truck instead of larger and larger "1/2-ton" trucks which have completely outgrown that classification. "Stupid" is exactly the right word, so thanks for that.

[@NarwahlGaming]

I currently drive a 2011 Silverado and a co-worker parked his new Ranger next to me. It's bigger than mine and i think my Silverado is too big. I guess I'll be moving "down" to a mid-sized when this one blows up (the AFM is getting really noisy and 4th gear is getting slammy).

Hopefully the ergonomics for the third pedal and shifter aren’t horrific for tall people like the previous gen. From what I’ve seen here, I’m cautiously optimistic.

[@TheSpark878]

It looks like the 2024 Tacoma turbo hybrid has a payload rating of 1709lbs, which is comparable to many half-ton trucks and pretty impressive. If you're shopping for any truck with the intention of towing, check the payload rating on the sticker in the driver's door frame. It can vary a lot based on trims and options.

Agree that truck sizes have ballooned like crazy. Been driving full size and compact trucks for 40 years. I still haven't seen a compact truck that can tow 6,000+ lbs at highway speeds confidently, and still get 18-20 mpg daily. This is a great truck but for me, the RAM 1500 works best.

[@tr0nfreak64]

As a non-American, I really don't understand why it's even a status symbol to drive a humungous truck bigger than your neighbours? They're so huge, aren't great on fuel, difficult to park and most in my country use them to go get groceries and lattes in the cities. Why?!!!

[@stevestogsdill5791]

Firstly, I don't drink lattes. And I live in rural America, drive 60-100 miles per day, frequently pull a 26' camper 2-6 hours one way to campgrounds, haul firewood or lumber or furniture or..... Well, you start to get the idea. I don't think people outside the US truly grasp how big our country is. And our roads were not built to medieval times cart path size limitations.

I bought a 2023 Tacoma 9 months ago, it has been a great truck. I got the 2023 knowing the new one was coming. I figured that if the new Tacoma was all that much better, I could wait a couple more model years for them to shake out any bugs and then trade in. I'm reasonably sure it will be fine. By then, all the me first buyers will be gone and you might be able to buy one for a decent deal.

I've been saying trucks have gotten too big for years. I remember when my dad's friend had an older Ranger (US, before taking it away and bringing it back much bigger) and it was a great size little truck. And good looking

[@Shiny_Dragonite]

My dad had an '85 Ranger and it was pretty much perfect. Now he has an '88 Comanche he won't sell me (understandably). I had an '88 K2500 that I only drove when I needed to tow something/fill the bed with dirt/mulch/gravel, and it blows my mind how small it looks compared to modern trucks.

Not to mention that bigger vehicles is also a lot more dangerous for everybody else on the road. Especially cyclist and pedestrians

[@llamawarllord]

My 03 Tacoma was a ton of fun. I got way too far down many a side by side trail in that thing. Its tippy size and gutless engine were the best parts about it

[@Liam-ub5gj]

Truth “mid sized” my ass

[@colt1815]

Little known fact, trucks have been getting bigger thanks to the EPA. Opposite of what you would think. The smaller the truck, the better the fuel economy needs to be to not get fined. When you get down to the size small trucks used to be, the necessary milage is just unrealistic and would make it too expensive for what it is. So the alternative is to make them bigger. That's government logic for ya.

[@JTSuarez]

I’m pretty sure Thomas meant that Toyota will sell a lot of these across the U.S, Canada and Mexico, because I’m sure the Tacoma isn’t sold anywhere else

[@AbrahamArthemius]

Pretty much, because outside the NA market, the Hilux is king.

[@99toyotacorolla]

yup. anywhere else, the Hilux remains the top dog of pick-ups.

[@abderrahmanelbakkali190]

No, you're wrong actually, it doesn't only sell in those places, but it also sells in California.

​@AbrahamArthemius they are going to merge the Hilux and Tacoma Platforms in the next gen Hilux. It will still be called a Hilux, but it will be sharing the same platform as the Tacoma, the TNGA platform.

​@@99toyotacorolla only because they don't sell the Tacoma over there, they separated the platforms, but not anymore, next-gen Hilux will be on the same platform as Tacoma.

Full size trucks are still needed by those of us who tow over 6k LB or need more bed space. This is great for 80% of truck buywrs though.

[@AlisonAZ]

I had a 2000 SR5 Tacoma with a standard transmission, cruise control, a long bed, a small back seat, a good sound system with a CD player, AC, and roll-down windows (in case I drove off a ferry dock). It was small and lovely and I could escape in an emergency. It was perfect.

[@hoodieman04]

100% true on the size comparison. I parked my 2000 Tundra next to the latest tacoma at work....theyre damn near the same size

[@elmercortez6588]

Yup, just that for the full size, the cabin dimensions are always way better, even tho looks same size, the full size old gens are way more roomy compared to new gen mid sizes

[@wolfg.1867]

Funny thing is the Tacoma has been the same size since 04

I had a 19 ridgeline and traded for a 2023. Gets good mpg unloaded and around 15 pulling a sxs on a trailer. People like to say they buy Tacoma's because they want to off-road but I'm over here like why would I want to spend 40-50k on a truck only to tear it up on a trail? The aforementioned sxs costs 1/4 of the price and has more ground clearance and less weight than a Tacoma. That's just one factor for me the other is ride quality. I have a few friends with Tacoma's and they all ride worse than my ridgeline on the road. To each their own.

Toyota needs turbo engines so they take the ones they have used in Lexus vehicles and modify them. The 2.4L turbo has been around for a long time and is very likely to be quite tough and reliable. I just hope this truck is tuned for 87 octane because the Lexus equivalent requires 91.

People buy full-size because the interiors are usually much nicer, the capabilities are much greater, they get almost the same fuel economy, and they don't cost a lot more. And everyone wants a V8, no matter how much they don't need it. It's a hard sell to get people to spend almost as much for less truck - no one would buy an 86 if it cost as much as a 911. The new Canyon and Tacoma seem to be bridging the interior quality, but they're still not as good as full size.

I just sold my Tacoma last week. Great truck but, if you have a family or like to road trip the Tacoma is not big enough. Now that it's hybrid their is no under the seat storage. I Also switch to a F150 and the ride is SO MUCH better then my 2021 Tacoma and the F150 is one generation older. The F150 feels SOLID and also gets better gas mileage then the Tacoma I had. Why spend 40-58k on a mid size truck when you can find a full size in the range. I think most people would prefer to buy something that's over kill for towing and not need to push it hard then buying a smaller truck and always using it's max towing or close too it.

I have the same exact Tacoma as you see in the video. Got it almost three months ago. My gf and I took it from home in northern Michigan to Myrtle Beach and back a little over a month ago with no issues whatsoever.

[@Richard-vf6mr]

@@stevea3149 Again it’s a great truck but a full-size truck for less just makes more sense to me. as a family vehicle from my experience. Myself, wife and two kids. Kids have pillows and blankets. Video games their snack and drinks etc. Trying to go through a mountain area when you have a V6 that feels like a 4cylinder. The engine has been screaming for the last hour because the transmission hasn’t been updated for the last 10 years. Yes it is do-able. Is it a nice experience? not really compare to riding in a full-size truck.

[@supercarspr]

These are going to sell like crazy in Puerto Rico.... and we're expecting the top trim to go over $80k 🥴

[@DanielJoseMP]

Yup 😢

[@enriquerivera592]

My dad is thinking of buying one (previous gen) but yeah they already are kind of expensive over here, I can’t imagine how much just a SR5 trim is gonna be over here, probably mid 40k right?

[@buggen819]

But the biggest question is, was the fall scripted or not? Looked real for me lol

[@dwighthollingsworthjr.6730]

I really hoped it wasn't because the fact that everyone stayed professional is Amazing to me🤣

[@Mis73rRand0m]

I think they practiced the shot but he slipped unintentionally - you can see a small trail where he fell, but the slip seemed very real. Probably just did the nonchalant thing so they kept it for a little gag.

[@TheNismo777]

Thats crazy, has SO much tuning potential!!

[@matthewm3912]

For what. Its a truck. If you want to tune a car, don't buy a truck.

[@FxMoto]

@@matthewm3912 Or you know, do it anyway :)

[@papa_pt]

​@@matthewm3912nonsense reasoning. Tune anything you want.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

​@@matthewm3912the twin turbo/supercharged silverados and F150s and tuned diesel trucks would like to have a word with u.

[@jonlosito2004]

​@@matthewm3912good thing the Tacoma X Runner concept exists

"Do cars run out of honk". Absolutely wonderful.

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

The Tacoma will remain #1 but I think with the new 2024 Ford ranger and the 2024 chevy colorado will take a larger slice of the mid sized pie forsure!!

[@RooNRemy]

You guys rocked this review! Great job! Subscribed, loved watching, and was entertaining immensely while learning tons of info! Kudos!

[@OldManTenno]

I lived in the Dallas area for 17 years, and there are more full size pickups that only drive to corporate jobs then there are people who could actually make use of them. For those that don’t know, most of Texas is as flat as your kitchen table. And for some reason, most of them drive ridiculously aggressive…

[@sojioguns]

Who else paused the video to read the actual searches???? 🤣🤣🤣

[@Franko_don_Sparta]

Me " does horse get back the power when cars die😂😂😂"

[@VladoooThe]

You say you don't need a full size truck but the problem is pricing. When I was shopping for my truck in 2017, I bought a brand new F150 4x4 XLT, with every single option and a 5.0 for $42k ($53k otd). At the same time, a mid trim v6 Tacoma with Toyotas absurd 7% financing came out to $56k otd. So why? Why would I buy a midsized ancient v6 when for less money you can get a full size v8 with more options? Until midsized truck pricing is actually midsized and not full-sized, I and most other people will just buy full size.

The slip, the roll, the recovery **chef's kiss**

[@MrBeatzFactory]

Neither of you are first

[@MrRaggamuffin75]

LOL, blow off valve? Nice. I have 2018 tacoma trd sport and I love it, can't wait to get one of these. Probably gonna go for the trd pro this time around.

[@papa_pt]

not blowoff sounds more like diverter valves or turbo flutter

[@head0927]

Head room was the only thing that had ever stopped me from getting one but now it looks like i can potentially ditch the full size and get this of course once they dont have dealer mark ups

[@theepanvr]

"If I snort Parmesean cheese do I Parmesean sneeze" LMFAO

[@Baasicstuff]

love the turbo sounds, about time we get a proper engine in this slug ..... I lived in Japan for 11 years

[@aymanlockhartable]

Wouldn’t 4 cylinder turbo make more stress on the engine and transmission with heavy loads!? NA engines healthier in the long run.

[@CarlosGutierrez-qw6pr]

You're going to be saying that a lot since Toyota doesn't really have NA engines anymore

[@kc510]

They can build it to handle the extra stress if money allows. No one wishes they had an N.A. diesel.

[@aymanlockhartable]

However, if you’re looking to use your truck for serious off-roading and heavy-duty hauling, then a 4-cylinder truck is usually not for you!

[@caseysterger]

Every diesel pickup and transport vehicle in the modern era is boosted - those being the preferred method for heavy towing. Adding a turbo fundamentally doesn’t change reliability or add stress. By forcing more air into the engine, it increases efficiency and helps it run at a variety of altitudes with significantly less power loss. Great efficiency means you get more done with less. Hope this helps 👍
