n this video, we going over the pros, cons, and damage report of my Tacoma after off-roading in Moab Utah. Overall, the new Tacoma did great, the low end power, longer wheel base, and the tires I chose all made for a great rig on the trail.
I feel the truck lacked though a little in the suspension department along with storage (it's a midsize so this is a stretch). Also, the vehicle made out pretty damage free aside from the exhaust pipe that hags WAY too low, and also my tow hitch that scrapped a bit.
Utah was absolutely stunning, so much so that I failed to record a bunch of video for you all. Next time!

Awesome Ride Man!!!! The collar lift is what I am concerned about, the Pre Mature - bottoming out on suspension droop is my main concern with adding an extra inch or two for lift as I want to take my Tundra SR light roading, but do not want to compromise ride quality, I might just stuff larger tires on it and call it a day! I would have loved to see a equally modded out Tundra ride with you guys and see truck for truck the difference. The midsize trucks have their advantages, but if you carry a large amount of goods, the Twin Turbo V6 in a full size might be the way to go! lots of good options in any case!
@TRDJon
@TRDJon Ай бұрын
Yea there were no full sized trucks with us at all. Bit tight of a trail for sure! The kit is good for light off road and road use but anything really more than that it will be ok but you definitely would need to consider a full suspension setup.

Um. Why were you hauling the factory spare around? Extra weight, no use at all if you are carrying your matching spare. If it were me, I'd keep the spare mounted upright on a locking mount against the cab or parralell with the wheel well. And you could us some sort of bed storage system for your mis things? This is the confusing point to me on the TRD Pro/Trail Hunter trims. The cab is not large enough to use for much storage, the bed is too short for real truck use (hauling loads, bikes won't fit, etc). The target audience for these trucks is off roaders (supposedly). It seems to me that a 4Runner or Land Cruiser would be the better choice for that duty. More interior space, better suspension (5th gen 4 vs 3rd gen taco at least), waaaay cheaper, and overall, built for purpose. Anyway, great vid with some good pros/cons.

the low end torque of the 4-cyl is going to make it a classic and highly sought engine for many years. Low end torque is why people love those old 4runner V8 and that was totally lost with the weak V6. Now you can have the best of both worlds: light engine with low end torque. A true masterpiece of modern engineering. ...now shame the truck itself is so overpriced however. The USD to YEN is very favorable for toyota to consider lowering prices....but no! greed must rule.

@@upperleftnorthwest4278 best low end torque in decades using science and math to achieve a better balanced vehicle free from the dreaded oversized and heavy front end. While it is still a pickup so 50/50 weight balance is impossible unladen, the heavy v8 and underpowered v6 were not doing handling any favors. A classic is born.

@@cmdrls212that low end torque is great but whats the point when the rear end is converted to coil spring, essentially reducing payload & defeating the purpose of buying a truck in the first place. People want these things to ride like cars, they need to go buy a ford maverick if that want both

The exhaust tip on the Trailhunter dumps exhaust before the rear axle. !So no trail dragging likely

A PICKUP TRUCK WITH REAR COIL SPRING IS LIKE A SUV OR HONDA RIDGELINE. I LOADED UP 8 TIRES 32 INCH A/T AND 8 WHEELS MADE THE REAR OF MY 3RD GEN TACO WITH LEAF SPRINGS TO SAG BUT NOT TO THE BUMP STOP. CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH COIL SPRINGS. TOYOTA WENT BACK TO PROPER LEAF SHACKES IN THE 4TH GEN AS A HILUX. SAFE TRIP BACK HOME JON!

Great video Jon! Too bad this vehicle is an absolute fail for the price. I think we all knew that when we saw the unveil last year. Toyota has really missed the mark on the Tacoma and likely the 4runner. As usual keep us posted but Tacoma is at this point over

You can probably negotiate them down since more are out and available not. The average Tacoma price is around 40K.

@@TRDJon I've given that some consideration and visited wilson toyota in Houston to test drive and check out but overall for the tacoma concept (coming from an 04) isn't quite there with the 2.4, Mexico build, overall design and price. For some this might be a great truck but for someone like myself that is constantly in deep snow in Iowa or offroading in South Dakota or Wyoming this new build just isn't going to cut it without a lot of upgrades. Regardless thanks for the great videos! Your channel is always very informative and great to watch!

I’ve made plenty of dislike videos in the past and have documented my whole tundra issues journey. I guess it is all how you go about it. Mindless rant vs trying to be productive in finding a solution. But I free to share what I like and dislike. Some Toyota reps have even talked to me about the dislikes I’ve had along with others on vehicles that will be fixed (or even have been fixed) in the future. Nice to see them listening
