Great video. I have a trd sport bronze oxidized long bed. Do you have a A/c compressor noise. Like a cricket noise when the a/c is cycling. One thing I don’t like from the 4th gen Tacoma . Love the truck how it drives from my 3rd gen. Thanks

@@TRDJon sounds good. I’ve been on different forums and a lot of ppl are getting a chirping sound on first start up in the morning while the a/c is on. If a/c off we don’t get the loud chirping sound. It’s really annoying sound. Sound like crickets under the truck. Love what you done with your truck. And great honest reviews . Keep it up.

Thanks for being honest, Jon. Please post another video with an update on the check engine light issue once you learn more. That is a surprising issue for a new Toyota.

I had a 2024 Tacoma for 4 months before my wife told me I needed a bigger truck for our family, so I got a Tundra. But that little 4 banger just wanted to DRIVEEEEE, especially in sport mode. I was very impressed, especially after having one 2nd gen and two 3rd gen tacomas. Cant knock it til you try it. Even my non-hybrid Tundra likes to move in sport mode.

Personally, like the new Tacoma's but could never justify the price. They cost more than what I paid for my TRD Pro double cab ($48,880). Bidenflation is real! The last thing I felt your pain on that 18.5 gallon tank. One of my most favorite features about my Tundra is the 38 gallon tank. I get over 600 miles on a tank and it makes it so nice especially when I am towing long distances. Great video keep it up!

[@trxmigz450]

Everything you said was legit and I agree ! My biggest pet peeve with my 4th gen vs my 3rd gen is how long the transmission takes to change directions. Going from park to reverse to drive etc

[@TRDJon]

hmmmm hopefully you don't have ann issue with yours. I haven't really noticed a big delay in mine.

[@kylegibson9109]

I notice it a bit too, not always noticeable but sometimes it seems a bit too long. Inconsistent but is usually good.

[@lancelotlink3907]

Its not just the Tacoma but Ive noticed a lot of the newer 8+ speed transmissions change directions slower than the older 6 speeds did. I just assumed it was to keep people from going from reverse to drive while the vehicle is still moving backwards which is terrible for the transmission and creates more warranty work for the manufacturer.

[@jensalan]

I'm glad you mention pricing and how so many people only look at the $65k TRD Pro pricing. Meanwhile, 99.9% of people don't need a TRD Pro or even a TRD Off Road. But the same people who complain are more than happy to compare it to a low end half ton and say the top of the line mid sized trucks are too much 😂. It's not just mid sized trucks that are too much. Everything has gone way up in price.

[@TRDJon]

Exactly. People only see shiny object instead of taking a step back and looking at the whole thing. Ya it sucks how expensive these are, but still, you can get it for cheap if really desired.

@@astrogreenarrow It doesn't make sense to spend an extra $15k+ for a truck with capabilities they'll never use, in the hopes that it will hold its value by at least that much. It'll never hold it's value that well unless you buy it and never drive it. They might be the top spec, but they're not special since there's thousands of them being made. You're better off buying a $50k truck (or even less) than a TRD Pro any day of the week and investing the difference.

I agree with your list of pros and cons. My underground also was delivered scratched AF, so my dealer has to correct and I had to pay to get it PPF’d and further PC’d. One thing you missed is that the paint thickness is very very low, like 1.1 mils (barely anything). One correction is regarding the exhaust tip. It looks low because the rear bumper is a high clearance. It’s no lower than the previous gen. My biggest gripe is the lack of the back seat space. I won’t upgrade to a Pro because of the new iso dynamic seats in an already tight back seat area.

[@TRDJon]

I wasn’t a fan of the big screen until I drove my 2024 Tundra a bit. It’s great having the bigger screen. I can have the map, music, and directions all displayed and easily be able to glance over and see what I need. I was nervous about the turbo until I drove it. The twin turbo v6 on the Tundra is a beast. It tows a 10k lb trailer like it’s nothing. And it MOVES. The 0-60 time on the TTV6 is 5.9 seconds! I’ve owned sports cars that didn’t to as fast. Go test drive one. Your concerns are valid, but they melt away when you actually drive one.

@TRDJon the 2.7L turbo GM offers, has more torque than the 6.4L HEMI V8 on the Ram 2500, and 3500.. who's the clown? Based on that first sentence it appears you are. end of story. Can't compare the 2.7 to the 2.4.. the hybridMAX is bringing more to the table but underpinnings are unlikely to hold up to that power.

[@TRDJon]

The Tacoma has two offerings just like the GM product does. With 465 torque which is more. So it’s the same. Not sure where you’re going with this.

[@thewireman134]

@TRDJon people are paying WELL over 50k for 318 ft/pound of torque and a plastic drivetrain. That's my point. At least get something with some ballz. Overpriced and underpowered junk.

[@TRDJon]

Then buy a GM bro. Nobody is stopping you.

I’ve been seeing videos of people going off road and the suspension bottoming out because the rubber mounts are not on the frame but on top of the suspension

[@anthonyjohnson100]

No front suspension frame mounted bump stops is so stupid I’ll never buy one. Took “soft taco” to a whole new level…

[@Adventure_Rig]

Never understood the big ass touch screens. I just have my phone mount in the center and it does everything . My radio is still buttons and i like that i can adjust it by feel and not having to look at the screen to change songs

2024 Tacoma TRD PRO 60K+ 🤦🏻‍♂️ insane

[@n118nw]

5500 miles since March on mine and so far so good, but since it's the first year I'm expecting something to eventually go wrong. My biggest gripe was the price tag, but such is the market and when you're wanting a new model truck, you don't have much to leverage when negotiating. Most of my other gripes can be resolved with aftermarket parts--and I expect that to be the same with any manufacturer; they have to build a truck as cheap/reliable as possible cutting corners here and there. In the hot Texas sun, the interior plastic on the A pillar isn't so rigid; the rear bumper cover is a bit loose; the rear seat is too thick and doesn't fold away as well as a Honda Ridgeline; the rear sliding window is so small it's practically useless, and while having extra pockets on the door cards are nice.. they're not covered in any fabric, so any object you have in them causes them to vibrate and rattle.

[@TRDJon]

Thats for sharing!

[@jeannettebrewer3007]

Hows the FIT & FINISH? Ive seen a few videos, showing some very large uneven gaps! Like in the tailgate..Makes you wonder if it has everything to do with Toyota only paying $2.70 per hour..to there Mexican work force??

# 1 should be the price!

[@TRDJon]

Mentioned that in this video and my reasoning why

[@HUMBLEHUSTL3]

the seat still looks low to the floor like a car

[@martinlebel8012]

I’d be very curious to find out if you compare apples to apples the 5th Gen to the new 4Runner MPG and factor the premium fuel were it lands… same with the TACO no one ever mention’s the reg gas vs premium gas HP to HP.

[@TRDJon]

The new Tacoma doesn’t require premium gas

[@martinlebel8012]

@@TRDJon OHH well shows how much I know lol.. I saw your video about the reg vs premium gas in the land cruiser I figured because they're the same Engine it would be the same.

[@TRDJon]

That’s why I did that video. Cuz I don’t understand why that requests it but not the Tacoma.

Thanks bro! I appreciate it!

[@thehartoftexas5645]

Awesome review. I've had my 24 Tacoma OR for a few months and agree with all your observations/opinions. Overall, its been a great truck. Wish I splurged for the Softex seats.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your support and commments

[@milkdud3618]

Go very easy on bumps. No more frame bump stocks. Best to only drive on the road so a tow truck can pick you up when your tranny, engine or starter goes south

[@TRDJon]

Thank you internet echo. I'll keep that in mind

[@blakerh]

I owned the last 2 generations of the Tacoma. But they lost me on this one. It is way too expensive and feels kind of cheap inside.

[@nhielabella2195]

Wow, it's new but noticed new TACO check engine😢.

[@m.687]

I have a 3rd Gen luckily, but still have 2nd hand buyers remorse 4th gen owners 🤣.

Rocks are everywhere and just love to jump and give love to our vehicle's hoods. Think about some Paint Protection Film (PPP), you choice the one you like.

[@klauskahle]

Great honest video Jon. Thanks. I am one of the unfortunate individuals that is dealing with a possible tranny issue. Very hard shifting from 1 to 2 and noisy. No codes yet. So that’s my biggest dislike. Still really enjoy driving my Sport Premium.Anyway, keep up the informative videos!😅

[@TRDJon]

Is yours an Auto by chance? Thanks for sharing!

Yes it is!

Welcome to the modern world of trucks.

[@hunterstokely8438]

Where did you get the heat insulation under the hood??? Love the truck!

[@TRDJon]

Thanks! Mine actually came with it. Idk if it’s cuz it’s a premium or what.

[@gtbart6764]

My 2024 premium doesn’t have the hood insulation. Strange? I’m in Canada. Not sure if that makes a difference.

[@TRDJon]

It could possibly. They always make sure our vehicles are different it seems

[@visualdragon]

@@gtbart6764 That's weird. I have a 2024 TRD Off Road Premium and I have the hood insulation. It's for sound not heat. I'm in Ontario, Canada.

[@gtbart6764]

I lied.. my 4 th gen does have the hood liner. My 2021 didn’t.

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

Mangaflow sounds good, I have it. It's worth it. Waiting on intake and turbo options..

[@TRDJon]

Heck ya! Solid to hear!

[@goldblueberries326]

I've noticed the typical tacoma channels don't like the new tacoma

[@Mylifeislegendary982.]

Opinion of those people don't really matter and nothing but meaningless noise. Q2 mid size truck sales.1-tacoma 47.911/2nd Colorado 26.901/3rd frontier 20.219/4th canyon 11.351/5th gladiator 10.489/6th ranger 9.030/7th Ridgeline 8.626. only opinion that matters is Sales and people like Jon.

[@billw8476]

well sure, but they are used to durable trucks that last 20 years or more.

[@TRDJon]

What typical channels you referring to?

[@Ajtrd96]

Nice review man !

[@TRDJon]

Thanks for watching!

[@FL_Jake]

Has anyone ever made an aftermarket mod for the gas tank issue? Seems like there’s room underneath for a few more gallons. Same question for the interior hard modified to soft touch pieces.

[@TRDJon]

Not yet, but I am sure its coming
