9 Must Have Mods For The 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2016 - 2023) - UPDATED VERSION

[@eliasbeas3556]

People complain about the 3.5L in the 3rd gen taco like its the end of the world. I regeared my 3rd gen taco to 4:88 and its a dream! Yeah it has its quirks but it has never left me stranded. What more do you want? Reliability OR power? If your all about performace and horsepower and quickness then why are you wasting your time looking at toyotas? Go buy a ford or a chevy. Lets see how that works out for you after 100k miles. The 3rd gen 3.5L is a 400k mile engine and it has been proven.

[@Sackmatters]

People who complain about tacomas being slow are foolish. It’s a Tacoma it’s meant to run forever and get you from point A to point B. It’s not a race car.

[@logangregory1823]

Your telling me getting groceries and competing in the Baja 500 in the same truck is foolish!?!? Sir I think you are the foolish one

[@keithm1273]

Wait my Tacoma is slow? Yo with my stock V6 I’ve burned a good handful of cars trying to be fast. 😅😅😅😅. Mods here I come!!!

[@BoiseTDI]

Well said! No truer words spoken.

[@nimrodrdc]

Not enough hp or torque why do you think the next gen has more hp and torque. Then you guys go and bolt on another 2000 pounds of crap onto them. You ever see a horse with too much loaded on it? If you think all that weight isn’t hurting your truck you’re nuts.

[@Papa_Izzy]

Just traded in my 18 Odyssey for a 20 SR5. It's 10 times faster. I'll take it. 🤣

[@michaeljohnson2922]

2019 TRD Tacoma, I just love mine!!!

[@dadawesome784]

So glad I got my 2022. The 3.5L V6 has been epic and they got rid of it in the 4th gen (2024).

[@stackthatartpaper]

Uhh.. pedal commander does nothing other than change the sensitivity of the pedal. Might as well floor it and save yourself $300

[@harryptoe2981]

You sold me on not getting one lol

[@caciquetaino1493]

Just get the manual transmission and you will be the pedal commander.

[@robw7205]

​@@caciquetaino1493exactly what I was going to say. Auto Tacomas must be painful to drive

[@J.Young808]

Save the $300 on Pedal Commander and put that towards a tune

[@MiraclesFSC]

Just hit the tow button lol

[@michaelpinson2454]

The paddle commander worked for a little while but started messing with the truck had to remove. Now i got the tune which is way better

[@rj_mafia6678]

Screw pedal commadee just push the ect when you want power instant

[@Klaus293]

Sprint Booster is also great! It radically changes the performance and once you set your happy place you can disconnect the (small) controller and it will keep your setting.

[@dwk1986]

Would love to hear your take on bed stiffeners, if they are needed or not, etc.

[@J.Young808]

If you Off Road often or put a topper/rack w/tent you should. If you are just driving around town and fire roads you should be ok. It doesn’t hurt anything so I say go for it. I’m picking up my 2023 Tacoma TRD OR Access Cab today (Jan 27, 2024) and will probably add them at some point.

[@lucasr5675]

Very good video and a nice summary. Keep up the good content.

[@elvisisalive2716]

2023 TRD Pro here, paid too much, couldn't be happier. No speeding tickets any more lol. Only think I need is a hard tonneau cover, I'm set. So glad I pulled the trigger on a 2023 since the 2024 TRD Pro are useless for passengers with those stupid shock seats.

[@rightnowiseverything2521]

Just bought a 23 and although there is a slight delay when I punch it, it has the giddy-up to put others in my wake..

[@timothyyocum9349]

You can get the rip coil packs for thr 2.7l 4cylinder tacoma i have them on my truck and yes they are werth it to by very high quality.

[@andresisaacaparicio]

Great video!!

[@J.Young808]

I live in a harsh environment in Honolulu on O’ahu as one of the areas we Off Road is the beach and I live 15 minutes from the beach.

[@MidMillenial]

Another useless sponsored video. There is literal no performance gains for any of these “power” mods. You can strap a 60/62 turbo to your Tacoma and you will gain noting without a proper tune.

[@mauiboy96768]

Screw the pedal commander, use that $500 for a PROPER tune such as "ovtune" etc. stop spending money on garbage.

[@superior54]

You missed a Mod, electric radiator fan is a must. Can you sell a brush less fan.

[@1averageamerican]

CAI and pedal commander? Lost credibility right there. Spend that money on something that actually makes a difference, an OTT tune.

[@troyehnisz9907]

The ott tune will fix the shift point problem but it isn’t going to turn it into a sports car

[@DTYREE]

Pedal commander is awesome

[@ryanlavallee3239]

Garbage. Spend the extra couple bucks and get an OTT tune.

[@kennethwood2089]

my 2018 Plain-Jane Taco--4 banger 4WD--a 'work truck.' $28K out-the-door. Me and her don't need any mods! we're happy as clams at high tide!

[@7777LORENZO]

Should have for all Tacomas not just newer . People keep Tacomas longer compared to other vehicles. Please and Thank you

[@jeffray2869]

Anyone know How do you turn traction control completely off? I've tried hold the button for 10plus seconds while in park and its better but not off......If you are spinning the wheels in field or snow the engine will fall flat on its face.....any suggestions? Thanks

[@markb3270]

Yeah, you can turn it completely off, put it in neutral first.

[@jeffray2869]

@@markb3270 So neutral not park? I'll give it a try...Thanks

[@Sackmatters]

@@jeffray2869 I’m sure you’ve tried but neutral is the fastest way.

[@23shipoopi23]

What’s the bumper of the Taco in the thumbnail??

[@ThelastWales]

A company called Move bumpers out of Montana

[@douglasmorgan5015]

Is there a CD 💿 player in the Tacomas 2018 and newer? While the 14” entertainment screen is nice it seems to take up a lot of space

[@J.Young808]

The biggest I know of is 8” in the 3rd Gen Tacomas

[@tambosnipes1652]

So if i am driving this on the road everyday this is perfect

[@MissingLinkMTB]

Is this a joke?

[@chrisnickull]

Would the Fab Fours TT16-D3651-1 Vengeance Front Bumper require me to remove the TRD skid plate I have underneath my Tacoma?

[@astrologicall_]

no i dont think so

[@rrjsc]

It doesn't void warranty until the warranty company denies your claim

[@JOSEKmb]

Does your pedal commander work for a 2021 Off Road TRD 4x4 Manual Transmission Tacoma?

[@eliasbeas3556]

Why would you want that for a manual if you already get to decide the sensitivity points and when to shift?

[@marcosperes8372]

the link for the pedal comander only goes up to 2022 trucks will it work for 2023? i assume will since the video title says 2023 but i want to be sure someone please let me knooww

Lost me at 'cold air intake'. Damaged the credibility of the rest of the recommendations.

[@bussinwithbutch6873]

Elaborate please

[@WhySoSeriousGM]

@@bussinwithbutch6873 they do pretty much nothing without a tune

[@camm288]

Agreed you’re better off just changing the filter in the stock box to a high performance filter

[@harryptoe2981]

Why

[@Mooseman20777]

Give the price point in the video

[@Motoroso]

Can’t really do that, prices change over time due to inflation and promotions. And if we say one price and it’s not the same as what we say, people get frustrated. We do our best to make the links easily accessible in the description to check pricing on our website. Hope it’s helpful 👍🏻

[@trailkidzbroward5028]

Pedal commander sucks don’t do it

[@hothmobile100]

Anyone who takes made in Japan ignition coils and replaces them with aftermarket is a kook. The entire point of Toyota is reliability. Please go buy a different vehicle.

[@UncleFjester]

This is all BS, Lipstick on a Pig. You can't do squat to a taco to make it faster

[@nahutab134]

I think thats also true to a certain point. I thought about getting a TRD supercharger for the taco.

[@brucey5585]

You can but this channel went the ricer mod. Your suppose to regear to 4.88 and get a ovtune.

[@JustMrRodgers]

You can tune it. Skip the pedal commander and just do a Kdmax tune, your tuner can also adjust the pedal sensitivity. I did KDMax 9.0 with the sport throttle and it’s a completely different truck. It shocked me. And I thought just like you, these trucks are pigs but this really changed it completely.

[@MPGunther1]

Who said anything about going faster?

[@Jcococola]

Yeah cause I bought a tacoma to make it fast. Stupid.

[@lewisndhlovu89]

You said the Tacoma is one of the world's best trucks ,I think that's inaccurate as the Tacoma is not as popular as the Hilux or 79 series landcruser pickup that are more popular than the Tacoma which is popular here in US which is not the world.

[@Motoroso]

“One of”

[@Self_Empowered444]

For some reason I picture Lewis with his hand on his hip, wagging his finger at you while he’s saying all this. Gotta love those people who go out of their way to try to correct others about stuff that doesn’t really matter. Get out of the house and go live your life bud!

[@lewisndhlovu89]

Well Conrad I seen this be common peolei equating things that are only popular here in the States to be the world even Baseball & those Monster truck races are referred to as world series when it's only competed here in the states which is not the World but part of it Conrad.

[@jeremydoc]

Lewis needs to chill. None of what you’re saying matters.

[@jacobburkhalter5793]

Lewis why you being a nerd

[@mariagiordano3902]

pedal commander from Banks is far better
