One of the best videos I’ve seen. Thanks guys. Also you should consider doing a video comparing the second gen sequoia versus the new grand highlander. I think you’ll be surprised about the interior spaces!

[@CarConfections]

[@Thunderbane78]

Hi there...thank you for the video. Do you have any insight into the fact that some videos show the TRD Sport with a black hood scoop and others show a body-colored scoop? I would love to find some documentation that mentions if the color variance is package-based or if this is simply a pre-production vs production issue. Thank you for your time!

[@Thisthat1234]

Went yesterday to my local dealer in South Florida. Numbers were insane. A Trd Sport with the tech package sticker price at 49k. I have a credit score of 783. They told me the best interest rate they could do is 7.5% 63 months price lowered to 45k. The monthly payment was a little under 1k. I walked out and wished them all the best.

[@gadesgades2832]

Why not lease with the intent to buy? Save money on payments first 3 years and then it’s yours.

[@JJF1973]

Fantastic work, y’all! I really enjoy all your videos! The level of polish and thoroughness y’all have would only be expected from a channel that has million dollar operating costs. Although at about 14:30 you just about lost your composure. Lol! I just cracked up! Let me give you a “tip.” Keep little flubs like that in your content or on a blooper reel. That was priceless, but more importantly it shows the human connection that reminds us that y’all are just a couple of good ol’ Kentucky boys who create content because you love it, not because you have to. I’m a good ol’ Kentucky boy myself. I grew up in London and went to school at Eastern. I’ve been in Nashville since ‘95, but still get back home some. My folks still live in London. Keep up the good work! We love watching your content!

If you want an off-roader with all the axle, sway bar tech and crawl control, downhill descent, better ground clearance, etc., then get the TRD Off Road. If you want better highway ride and handling with minimal off road capability and a little better pricing get the TRD Sport.

[@BrianMorelli14]

Do you have any insight on the handling comfort of the sport vs sr5?

[@craigt5990]

I just today ordered a sport with all the options. Traded in my current ride and got 46 for it so the sport is only out of pocket about 9k. Since I had to order and build this truck delivery is about 6 weeks out.

Great informative video Drew and Mason! I like the looks of the new Tacoma. However I’m still quite skeptical of the new 2.4 turbo engine! I suppose I’ll warm up to it. Just not convinced yet. Mark in Iowa.

[@honda116969]

Good reason to be skeptical! Small engine 2.4L turbo probably 20+lbs of boost pulling a truck that weighs basically 5,000lbs not a good combo. These people can tell me/you whatever they want as many times but bigger motor is better for larger vehicles especially if you're going to be towing you'd be working that 4 banger so hard

[@woodduck614]

ABSOLUTELY YES THE 2024 TACOMA IS THE #1 COMPACT PICKUP TO BUY!!!!!!!!

[@matrix-fh9tn]

I bought a Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 back in 2007 and still have it with over 306,000 miles. I bought Sport trim just because the hood scoop looked great and never ever thought about going off pavement. BUT never again. My next one will be an Offroad trim with factory rear locker. Buy the trim with the rear locker even if it's for your work. You might be in a situation where you might need to drive over sketchy off pavement places. Extra fun and security when you go overlanding or off roading. Yes, you can install aftermarket lockers but more $ and maintenance, plus less reliable. Besides, Offroad trim comes with many more offroading features other than rear locker. Lastly, factory ride quality doesn't mean much if you are going to switch out the suspension and lift it in the future.

[@chris200873]

question how much maintence have you had to do with your truck. As far as just keeping it reliable ive never own one and i am looking to buy a 23 to 24

[@GerryHavican]

I have test drove the TRD sport premium and I really like the improvements that they have made to it.

[@BR_70]

Good review. Glad to hear the throttle response is better. I have an '18 pro and hated the way it upshifted going up hills, absolutely horrifying. Test driving this model on 6/29, scared of the 4 cylinder turbo, but we'll see.

[@thewelder9492]

Really looking into a Tacoma. Wanted a Toyota truck since 1990. Never bought one. Now my suburban turned 12. No issues that are pressing, but a new vehicle is always fun. I’ll keep debating in my mind lol

[@threadoflife]

This review really helped answer some questions regarding options I thought would only be available on the TRD Pro or limited. So nice to see a sport with leather & ventilated seats huge win for me not to mention the manual option that’s pretty sweet! Moon roof and HD rear view mirror Nioce! 👌

[@ethenjordan2010]

They just came out swinging with the prices, too high IMO.

If they just drop that price down just right it’ll be perfect. I understand people be saying if you work hard you can afford it, but come on we already being hammered with everything else rising in cost

[@Cmatt1299]

This or the limited are the ideal ones the Trd pro is awesome but it’s just a bunch of stuff. People never actually use that you’re paying good money for that you could actually pocket and use for upgrades on a regular Trd sport for things you might actually use like an engine tune 😁 although I reckon these, could be really tricky to tune with that hybrid set up. Not sure how that will work. it could make tuning super fun or could make it impossible or a nightmare. I guess we’ll find out. but I have a lot of faith in the car community.

Great technology and interior updates! Kinda disappointed that Toyota dropped their bulletproof V6 and adopted a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine system. It won’t haul as much as its previous models and longevity wouldn’t be as great. Seeing how Toyota already has issues with their new Tundra and Sequoia models just makes me iffy about their decision to phase out their naturally aspirated engines. I guess Toyota wants to get the EPA off their backs 🤷🏻‍♂️

After seeing the price dealers are now charging i see a lot of buyers remorse with these new trucks. 55k+ is just too much for a mid size truck. The first couple years toyota will make out like a bandit and then the more financially smart folks will wait for the good deals bringing down the insane price is my prediction.

I would rather have a 2023 without turbo and for 10,000 less. Have you seen the 2024 engine bay it's a HOT MESS. All this for 2MPG increase.

Let's be honest with ourselves the safety features let's call them what they are more Electronics to break we never needed them since the cars have been invented and we don't need them now all they do is put the price up on the vehicle total waste of money there should be an option that if you don't want any of these features you don't have to get them if you just want a regular truck that should be an option, and if you want a truck for a princess then you go with the premium model I would call it the Princess model buy the old degeneration this thing is a joke!!!!!
