2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO Review and Off-Road Test

[@masonthomas9671]

Personally I love when you save a good one for Saturday morning, kids are sleeping in right now and I’m sitting here with some coffee enjoying the show. Appreciate it and all the hard work by you and the crew.

That's great to hear! Have a great morning!

[@TheJoshuaborden]

People slag on The Tacoma interior. Calling it “dated” or “old” but I love tbh. Functional and good looking.

[@andyham6094]

Mannnn this is literally the most beautiful truck to my eyes. It looks so damn perfect

[@bergoff]

All of the reviewers complaining about the seating position in a Tacoma. It’s been that way for decades. Get over it!!!! It’s still one of the best selling trucks. I’m 6’4” and have no problems in my Tacoma. I’d rather drive my Tacoma over my F450 work truck or our Lincoln.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

I simply do not understand the seating position complaint. Like you said, it's been this way for so long. Even my 1993 Toyota Pickup has the same seating position.

[@dtlusk24]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite review channels. I just bought my 2022sr5 4 runner based on your road trip review and off road with TFL boys. Great quality and thoroughly enjoy the production quality!

[@bmack918]

In light of today’s vehicle shortages and how dealerships are price gouging, do you mind if I ask if you got a fair price for your 4Runner?

[@dtlusk24]

@@bmack918 soo true, it was sticker priced which was ridiculous to begin with I think. My buddy dealer inventory Mgr orders for my local toyota dealership. He found 4 runner that i wanted on the boat from Japan . We eliminated all the extra pricy options bigger rims (hate those) privacy roll cover for storage ect. And the dealer tried to tack on 1600.00 extra mandatory fabric interior cleaner, 🙄 😒 but he made it show I put my request in before it started. So out the door I paid $40,500 for my nautical blue sr5 4×4 with tan interior. Love it, but shew.... my HD duramax kills this thing in mpg. Their are dealers that will make it only MSRP price only but have to do some digging to avoid the scum bags doing market adjustment stickers.

Congrats dude! The Tacoma has a special place in my heart because I first learned to drive on my dad’s 1996 MT SR5. He still has it with 355,000 miles and it’s his daily driver. Great trucks for the money.

[@tubeviewer4818]

Bought a 2019 red pro paid 44k . So expensive at the moment but I do not regret it . Truck has taken me across the US , numerous rough passes and trails in Colorado and then back to work on Monday with out a hiccup .

[@jyoung188]

I’m 5’7” and own a 20 SR5 double cab long bed 4x4. The seating position is very different than my fleet owned Silverado work truck, that feels like siting in a kitchen table chair in comparison, way more upright. I like the cabin setup and I have two young kids in the back (it’s nice that they’re always within reach) but I can see how anyone larger than me or people who want to haul adults in the back would not like this cabin. Great review and I dig the silly unique trd colors even though I’m boring and got Magnetic grey metallic on my Tacoma.

At 6 foot 2- inches tall, owned every Tacoma since 1985, never 1- time did I ever have a seat issue!!! Super Charger is Life!!!

I love watching these reviews for quite a few reasons but what makes them especially special to me is the fact that I drive on i-90 every other week going from home in Western WA to Central Washington University and I am familiar with where you are driving. Since you do the off-roading in Ellensburg that basically means you are right outside the backyard of the University! lol

Great review again! I bought a 2022 TRD Offroad with no options. Paid -10K less than a TRD Pro. And after this review and 2000 miles off-roading in California, Nevada and Arizona… I dont feel I missed anything with my cheaper purchase. Its a great vehicle.

[@drn13355]

The cab is the exact same size as the 2005. I had a 2012 TRD Off Road. I am 6'3 and I could never get comfortable and the seating position is brutal. I like Toyota and would get one again if they ever actually change the size of the cab and went with a turbo. I live in Wyoming and drive at elevation a lot and since going to the Ranger turbo it is night and day better than NA engine at elevation. Mostly I am just happy mid size options are now available and I think it will push Toyota to really improve the Tacoma.

[@---rg1gb]

Agree seating position sucks...and I'm only average male height

[@ThomasGillot]

The engine options for the Tacoma are definitely underwhelming. Always hear good things about the ecoboost in the Ranger and GM even offers a diesel in the Colorado/Canyon. EVs will eventually take over, so maybe it is not work the R&D spend at this point. My guess it Toyota goes turbo 4 cyl. in the meantime.

[@---rg1gb]

[@moloono1]

Let’s be honest, nobody buys this to be the fastest (0-60), the most comfortable (body-on frame), the highest tech (JBL?), or for any other spec-sheet dick-measuring. People buy the Tacoma because it’s a straightforward, no gimmicks truck that can get you anywhere AND back, last longer than your grudge for a cheating ex, and hold it’s value like you hold on to the “glory days” of high school.

[@frankjager2420]

I have a semi bare bones Tacoma from 2016 I bought brand new. It doesnt even have 4 wheel drive. But im not an off roader of any kind, and I have not been put in a position to where I wish I had one in the 6 years Ive owned mine. Truthfully, unless you're a full time contractor where you would need an 8 foot bed, youre not going to find a better pick up. Its easy to drive, its small enough to squeeze through tighter spaces, its easy to park too. It even has the ability to get up and go when you put your foot down. And the fuel mileage isnt a nightmare either. Its a well balanced practical truck when you dont buy a big package version like this. Im only saying this in case someone is reading comments while theyre truck shopping

[@jonathanmoulton9251]

I had a 3.5 couldn’t even do a burn out. The acceleration is the problem. My 86 had more acceleration power.

[@mikefoehr235]

Ryan you think the Tacoma is uncomfortable...i had a JEEP rental....that made the Taco a limo in comparison. The Tundra is more comfortable. I find it better for long trips and towing. The Tacoma is an awesome truck and has a reputation for all out reliability. I think the TRD OFF ROAD is better when money is a concern. The Taco ate your test track up like all 3 meals. I am not a huge fan of the this green tho. I like the blue better Great review....have been waiting for this one for several days.

[@tallll70]

Wrangler is more compromised because it's further offroad focused... but ofcourse that has nothing to do with Jeep's pretty bad seats or some other deficiencies which it has

Great information about the poor road tracking and frequent wheel adjustments needed. I had forgotten about that.

[@Walkerxy]

What I will say is the bed rating has gotta be a conservative estimate. I have an ‘03 ford ranger and have carried 2000+lbs in my bed multiple times. Sure it lifts the front end off the road but the little truck can pull it off. Also my dream truck at the moment is a TRD pro in the military green Color but sadly I’m not going to realistically be able to afford it any time soon so this video both excited me and made me greatly depressed. Great review.

[@StugotsV]

Amazing video Ryan! I owned a 21 Tacoma TRD off-road and loved it but switched to a TRD Pro 4Runner mainly for the cabin features and more backseat space. Wondering if you and your team have any plans to ever open up your test site to the general public? Especially with the new space.

[@Offshore1977]

I traded my 2017 Tacoma which I loved for a 2020 4Runner which I also love for the increased interior room due to my growing family. I would love to have this Pro though especially with its ground clearance.

[@sergiosandoval2167]

when you buy Toyota you don’t buy the latest and greatest features, you buy for one thing only and that is reliability.

[@fouUili684]

Good review and that was awesome I want one in that color. The good thing about crawl control and MTS like you said mimics a front locker is that it won’t give you steering issues like a front locker would. You can’t turn as good with a front locker on, also no human can do what crawl control does by applying the brakes individually to each wheel and sending power. The LX600 is becoming a grocery getter now, it’s not off-road oriented even though it has crawl control, low ground clearance and poor approach and departure angles makes it soccer mom car now not an off-roader. The best off-road vehicles from Toyota are the Tacoma and 4Runner, I just wish they kept making the FJ cruiser and that would be a 3rd option.

[@elkofcanada5003]

It's worth mentioning the LX600 has a special trim with 18" wheels with more tire sidewall and some other changes. I think it's to make up for the lack of the LC in the US market now.

[@fouUili684]

@@elkofcanada5003 yea I saw that one, most important change for off-road is the smaller wheels that’s it. Still has shitty approach angles which is its main problem but I guess you can fix it with an after market bumper. I just wish it came from factory with high clearance front and rear bumpers or offer it as an option

[@rightlanehog3151]

Ryan, Around 22:22 you show us the LX 600 and explain its limitations under comparable conditions. It got me thinking,🤔 if only Toyota made a slightly less fancy version of the LX with more practical styling, better approach and departure angles, a full suite of locking differentials .... oh wait, they do. Maybe the same wild and crazy guys on the Toyota Board who just graciously bestowed the GR Corolla upon us will do the same with the GR Land Cruiser. We can always hope 🤩

[@moloono1]

That’s an interesting take on the LX. I bet they could do something like an SR5 version made for off-roading.

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@moloono1 There are limitless KZbin videos from around the world of various Land Cruiser models as they are equipped for different countries. The new Land Cruiser 300 Series is the model the new LX is based upon. In some markets you can get that new Land Cruiser with all the off-road gear I listed and the same old school 4.0 V6 currently sold in the 4Runner. The price is in the low $60,000 range. To be fair, the top spec GR Land Cruiser with the turbo V6 would cost as much as the LX 600. We will have to see how the new Sequoia copes with Ryan's course.

[@DavidFernandez-sc5ws]

Watching this after the new Tacoma has been announced. That new TRD pro is wild. A very well equipped Baja truck that is no doubt fun to drive, as well as reliable being a Toyota. People are complaining about the hybrid power train I guess forgot Toyota has been making the Prius for like 20 years…. But even after seeing the new one, being in the market for a new truck. Have a 50k budget (even though that new one looks like it’s gonna start at around 60k before markups) I think I like this truck better, it’s the last of a dying breed. Just a good old leaf spring, no frills, off-roading reliable truck. I plan on keeping this truck for 20 years. I know for a fact this generation of Tacoma will last that long.

If you don't care about breaking down on the road, or don't care about your truck not lasting or holding value, then buy anything else other than a Tacoma; that is where it really shines. All the little things that the other trucks have, you can buy aftermarket for the Tacoma. Yes Toyota sucks for not giving us more in the truck with the insane price tag, but the Truck lasts and is reliable.

[@DapperSapper515]

@@drivingsports I tow once in a blue moon, but I travel a lot on the highways. I also live in a super snowy state (Massachusetts) where the roadways are super narrow. So a midsize is the best suited for me. You’d recommend the Maverick or Ranger for reliability, comfortability, mileage, safety on the snow/ice/rain, and for towing my camper? I also go off roaring sometimes when I go hunting. I’ve been leaning towards the Tacoma, but I heard they’re uncomfortable for daily use. I also looked at the Colorado, but heard they aren’t super reliable after 100k miles. Thanks for any future advice, man! Love the videos, and keep up the great work!

[@lifelong5425]

Like your true review of how you need to be small to fit inside...seems each time I ever tried to climb in a Taco, only 6'0... I smacked my head getting in. On the OFF road portions, truly a no contest, but you have to get there. That price for basically a squashed old trend interior needs improvement, paying for discomfort as a daily driver...not worth it, and boy do you pay... Going to need to be a helluva redesign, and they must have something special coming. It is however, iconic, a Taco turns heads, regardless of the small person interior issues

[@whocaresjustdoit]

It's because of their production issues caused by chip shortage and supply chain disruptions. I don't think they were as well prepared for this crisis as they thought. Prices for vehicles are high right now because automakers have to pass their increased costs to make a car to consumers.

I work in the automotive industry and the dealers are making big profits right now since they don't have to give incentives and discounts to MSRP like before (also, markup helps).

I am so conflicted on trucks. I'm looking to buy a midsize truck anywhere from 2016 - 2022, price isn't really an issue for me. My problem is that I'm 6'6" and I want a truck that is well balanced with both on the highway and off road. I've been looking at Tacoma's due to their reliability but for highway driving I'm unsure. I'm also interested in the Jeep Gladiators (long term reliability is questionable) and Nissan Frontier. I work remote so no daily commutes. The truck would be used for typical home improvement uses, going to camp sites off the beaten path to remote / dispersed camping and lake sites hauling a kayak and fishing gear. But for the long road trips I need some comfort due to the travel from Kentucky to say New Mexico or Montana on adventures. Is there other Tacoma packages that is better suited for this over the TRD Pro? I don't plan to ever rock crawl/climb. Rather its forest roads, from easy to moderate. Nothing extreme since I do a lot of this solo.

[@joemarchand8313]

I want this vehicle, but I do zero off roading. Is that crazy? Is it a great daily driver?

[@RCPMK]

Sweet truck. Love those control arms. But that is over $60K in Canada..getting pretty steep for a little truck. Doesn't matter anyway because at 6'1" and 235lbs I find the interior too small

The TRD pro looks so good!!! What happened to your bed cleats?

“Seat jackers” help with the seating position

Excellent review How’s the quality of the front camera? It’s terrible on the 2022 4Runner trd pro. It might have to do more with the screen resolution that the camera itself though. Have you ever compared it between the Tacoma and 4Runner?

[@user-tb5ns7hc5i]

I own it and can tell you while it’s an awesome capable dependable truck, it has some disadvantages… The cameras are useless. Very low resolution. Auto trans poor unless offroad. Get a manual. Seating position awful. Steering wheel has plastic mixed with hard pleather - yuck. Open the glove compartment, everything falls out, and the fuel economy is laughably bad. Do I still love this truck? Yup. But Toyota has sure made some stupid decisions on it, and for this price and how many decades it’s been around, these flaws should not exist.

@@user-tb5ns7hc5i that's exactly how I feel with my 4runner. Great truck overall, but a lot of disappointing aspects for a brand new vehicle in 2022 with some of the tech from the late 90s. With that said, I can't and would not trade it in for anything else based on my needs

@@jbnissa626 how hard would it be for Toyota to just give pre/releases of the trucks to experienced fans of them like us for a few months , so we could give our feedback to sort out all these very stupid design issues they are overlooking to have them corrected before final release. These trucks are so close to perfect but flawed in inexcusable ways that just seem lazy to me from a design perspective that could be very easily fixed if they actually cared about the end customer usage of these vehicles. Frustrating. One of the biggest annoyances on the new Tacoma is actually the clock. Seems minor, but the time often disappears from many of the entertainment system screens, so you can’t just glance over to check the time without navigating through the menus to get back to the clock. Dumb. Put an old led flashing clock back in from the 80s or 90s! If it works, don’t mess with it. Also, I don’t need 4 menu nav button presses just to get back to the radio! My old am radio from 1975 could do that with one click and I didn’t even have to look at it. Again, just stupid design choices on the new vehicles. I swear the designers now must all have adhd.

[@robertdepesci3418]

the headroom of the tacoma is probably the main reason i switched for 4runner trd pro.

[@jmabs5096]

Rear cabin space is so much where Tacomas fall so flat for me.... I hope the new generation has more space with rear vents cmon toyta

Great demonstration and testing of MTS!!! More of this!!

[@callmelawrence9546]

I look at the newer tacomas, then back at my 98 tacoma. I cant seem to want a newer tacoma. But they do look clean.

Solid review.
