Finally, I can now afford the 3rd gen V6 Tacomas.

[@BigAltimaEnergy719]

Jokes on u once these 4 poppers come out the V6 would skyrocket in price trust me

[@jaimerivera2414]

I believe they nailed all the things on this new trim. Couple of options I hope they add before production: 1. Winch 2. Larger gas tank on 6 foot bed models at least. 3. Camera access via app. 4. Factory approved/designed loading ramp for bikes or lawn mowers. 5. Keep sun roof 6. Wireless phone screen mirroring 7. Backseat air vents And there you go!. Starting price now only $79,995 here in Puerto Rico. 😅

[@TRDJon]

Backseat air vents will be really nice.

[@davidcallen5847]

​@@TRDJon Is the snorkel optional or is it standard/required? Not everybody wants/needs it. Agreed on the back seat air vents! It's designed for overlanding so why wouldn't the backseat occupants want air? Makes zero sense-and there's already a cutout in the back of the center console for air vents! Also, how about a washer on the front camera like the competition has.

[@jeffmaynard6110]

Yah #7 back seat air vents is a must.

[@makatron]

Here in DR it'll be 85k 😂

[@coltonmarshburn1828]

I hope the next gen 4Runner will be heavily related to the all-new 2024 Tacoma

[@VintageRKO]

It should be very similar much like the Sequoia to the Tundra

[@jos6884]

i bet it will have the same engine and look almost identical to the sequoia especially since the tundra and tacoma are almost literal twins

[@Sideshow323]

I hope they take styling cues, but my dream is they continue to build the 4Runner's in Japan. There are quality differences between the US and Japanese built Toyota's that make me appreciate the Japanese built ones. My biggest concern though, is that they will not offer a flat floor and power rear hatch window. I have 4 dogs, and that is a must for me. If they kill those features, I'll probably trade in my 2015 for a 2023 and live with it for the rest of my life.

[@skoolynugenator1802]

@@jos6884 I don’t find the Tundra and Tacoma twins. Tacoma looks way better.

[@jos6884]

@@skoolynugenator1802 well mainly in the rear and the the grills on certain models, i agree though i think the tacoma looks vetter

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Jon! Thanks for making it. How exciting that you got invited to this reveal. So stoked for you. Love that new color and am curious about the snorkel. Are those extra 2 shark fins for wiring in 2-way radios? I can't wait to see a full first-drive video on this one. That 6 foot bed has traditionally been why I've leaned towards the TRD Off-Road in my "next truck for my wife" musings, but this one is pretty attractive.

[@jax1079]

I’m going to need that Trailhunter in my driveway…

[@hangingoutwithryan]

Very cool. Thanks for awesome quick video.

[@jcecil4vt]

That color is insanely beautiful. Wow!!

[@skaight9]

Losing the racks and a 1.5in suspension lift with 1.5in bigger tires this thing will be a beaut 👌🏻

[@BC_Hunter]

Agreed

[@PureBlood777]

Its soooo sick! I love it.

[@yotamafia]

The ARB collaboration is awesome!

[@irvgotti94]

Except for the No front locker

[@drealist]

Been rocking OME BP51 sets on my 4runner since 2020.. nothing but complements and amazing performance since day 1.. Glad Toyota went the right way with ARB and their products.

[@TRDJon]

BP51 is amazing

[@jblazier199]

That front sway bar disconnect though!

[@yanosful]

The most beautiful vehicle. Period.

[@alphakilo9066]

One of the shark fins are for the radio reception. The other two are for wireless camera communication for trailering. As reported on other websites.

[@benjmin1542]

The King🙌🐐

[@nathanlittlefield9416]

Yup I need it

[@MH_6160]

That color is wild… love it.

[@mattyd8829]

The back doors look so much smaller than the 3rd gen. Love it overall except for the taillights. Finally led headlights for all!

[@buckeye9252]

Now, I can finally be the one doing the blinding. It's a viscous circle

[@JoeBlunt]

Awesome collabs with arb and ome so cool cant wait to see the 4runner!

[@bradedwards7890]

Love the color!

[@ChimneyMan27]

jon always delivers

[@lou135]

That is really nice...Cannot wait for the 4Runner...Tempted to switch to a Trailhunter, just to be able to do things and still be under warranty...but my wife is up next for a car.

[@davedonohue9329]

The triple fin system is 1xradio, then the other 2 are for the wireless camera system for the trailers from what I heard.

[@analyrodriguez9879]

The truck looks great. I hope you will be able to show us the lower trims (limited, SR5 AND SR) as well. The Trailhunter,TRD Pro and TRD sport look like they will be over over what im willing to pay. Lol

[@Tehilliym]

Nice to see the limited trim get full-time 4wd. I wish some of the other trims also offered that!!

[@MegaCreque]

Snorkel smoothly integrated

[@patdog4518]

Trailhunter looks absolutely awesome in my opinion!

[@goTacha]

The 6ft bed looks insanely good

[@VulgrDisplay]

Truck looks better with the 6ft in my opinion.

[@jtview]

Agreed, but that bed accessory irritates me. Looks horrible for overlanding. Just hoping the other options are better

[@garyschlagel995]

VERY NICE TRUCK!

[@shawnuff1974]

I hope the new 4runner comes with the same front clip.

[@addi5430]

Love the new Taco. There is something for everyone!

[@jbzookeeper]

This makes the tundra seem so outdated😂 man I kind of want one of these more than a tundra, hope tundra steps it up next mid-refresh with some of the new features

[@TheSizNation]

Hell yeah, they should literally just blow this up into the bigger Tundra for the mid-cycle refresh. I might actually upgrade to one if that's the case cause this looks way better and has better features.

[@HotSizzleTV_]

I am sold I am still waiting for the redesign 4Runner but this I want wow amazing.

[@chiosaeteurn9790]

Looks badass

[@officialyasir]

Great job! Make mine a manual TRD OFFROAD!

[@georgerafa5041]

Idk why i had to watch this. Only trims im interested in are manuals in SR or Trd sport. But its cool seeing the pinnacle of tacos

[@66skate]

This is my favorite of all the trims. Only reason I'd pass is because no sunroof. I'd go for either the Limited or TRD Pro.

[@KyleHammerquist155]

The holes beside the rear tow hooks is a high lift jack point. But what is up with no front recovery points. Also the triple fin is to wirelessly attach to trailer cameras

[@chrisx5127]

There are front recovery points, it just in black so it harder to see.

[@pemainmobile8007]

The front end is so machooo 🔥🔥😭

[@appleztooranges]

Has a freaking safe! I can be packing 😂

[@andrewward4246]

I like the bronze but not the wheel design looks lazily designed... kinda boring otherwise I like it. But will probably go with a TRD off road with hybrid powertrain.

[@USMC_LAterZ]

I like it.

[@bwset69]

I have a 2022 Tundra SR5 Off-road premium, I’m digging on the 2024 Tacoma trail hunter 😛😛😛

[@ravensfootball52]

I love the trail hunter

[@ianpaddick2003]

I really like the skid. I wish the tundra would get the power tailgate tho. Oh and those presides aux would be nice on my platinum too

[@bradleyhankus5190]

Nice rig!

[@NorthPaddle]

Interesting color. Is that metallic peat? Probably not the trim I would go for, but pretty cool.

[@tawaitai]

That cut-away front valance bumper should be standard on the OFF-ROAD model, seems like they took they gave the scraps to the OFG-ROAD model Lima an after thought when it was the best selling model ever.

[@minh8080]

If you are still there take some videos of how many Toyota's are on the road. Might be one of the reason they chose Hawaii to debut it.

[@sm-zn8xm]

Can wait to order one. Trailhunter over the trdpro.

[@thebrain7065]

O look!...finally a flush mount locking fuel door! Never knew why they didn't keep this going. Even the ones in the 80s had a flush mounted door. I have a 2022 TRD OFF ROAD 4X4 MANUAL...and that fuel door with the raised lip just doesn't look right. Every time I look in the side view mirror!! but hey...I'm picky 😂 Serenity now!! Insanity later....😉

[@J.Young808]

I’m guessing the two side “fins” are to run solar wires and light wires into the cab. How much will the power outlet put out when driving?

[@Shodan99]

Wow! This is super nice! Do you prefer the Old Man Emu suspension or the TRD pro Fox suspension?

[@avsguy01]

Okay this version I like! Let's hope all my hard work and dedication to continuing on to finally getting a completed BS degree pays off, and I can drive home with one of these :)

[@johnrossi6212]

The Trail Hunter seats look more comfy then the TRD Pro.

[@jtview]

The interior literally made my decision for me to buy a used model or this. They crushed it. 14” screen is a bit of an overkill though.

[@ra_redesignautomobiles]

Imagine the 4Runner using this body of Tacoma. Itll spawn a throwback to the fist gen to 3rd gen hilux based 4Runner

[@joshuagray5094]

First mod, removing the truck bed panels

[@J.Young808]

Just don’t option them (I hope that’s a possibility)

[@Omni_Lead]

What platform / trim is the trail hunter built on???

[@WillMV8893]

Okay I like the trail hunter better than the pro I think. Is the bed rack standard with trail hunter? Not a huge fan of that. Glad they kept 6 ft bed option. Looks like rear seat has more room than 3rd gen?

[@murphybwalker]

3:16

[@nemoxero]

trailhunter hybrid 6' bed vs off road 6' non- hybrid payload?

[@thomasmrozovich7631]

Trail hunter 4Runner PLEASE!!

[@SpencerHogg]

Looks amazing buddy awesome video

[@1DavidMarshall]

So John you didn't say anything about long travel you did give us a little look at the lower control arms you did also say that it was 3in wider so I'm assuming longer wheel travel. Can you speak to that all?

[@boomerrangerron]

WOW! Now that's totally impressive for the all new TACO! With that extra wide wheel stance, will this require larger or wider mud flaps!

[@Katieandcabot]

Also a larger and wider garage 🤔

[@J.Young808]

I foresee a problem mounting a winch with the TSS sensor being so low.

[@johnbrennan7408]

I am going to sell my 18 4runner TRD Pro to get one. When the new 4runner comes out I hope they have a Trailhunter

[@yonatandiaz417]

Not bad kinda like it. The trd pro tho 😮

[@trickslertv898]

Holy crap the TRD Pro and the Trailhunter. I have never been so pumped for a truck!! My 19 V8 tundra may have to go...........

[@J.Young808]

Keep the Tundra

[@jessehenry1254]

I'll buy it from you

[@Ni-fg6je]

Id rather have that 5.7

[@jjourdan8014]

I was disappointed with the new Tundra but it looks like they listened and corrected a lot of the gripes people disliked about the Tundra with this guy

[@kevinbates3575]

I wonder if that little 4 banger will last as long as my 4.0 V6 in my 2005 . i would definitely think no, especially with the little maintenance mine has got or needed.

[@AA-mk4pu]

Nope

[@omidfathi5612]

Only thing I don't like are those stock wheels (prototype?), but that's an easy fix. Both this and the TRD Pro look amazing...

[@jsnow6925]

They really do. Wonder what long term reliabilty will be like. Cant wait to see the 4runner

[@oliver5911]

I agree that the two top trims look excellent, but I'm not a fan of the shiny black fenders on the Pro. They just look a little...odd? I hope they offer matte black or paint-matched fenders on that trim, as well. Whatever the case, it's the Trailhunter that has my attention. It looks really damn good in that Bronze Oxide color.

[@jake_berry]

I like it all except those rims 🤮 and no moon roof WTF.

[@oliver5911]

@@jake_berry - A moon roof is fairly pointless with a roof rack up top, but I agree about the bronze wheels. Their color is cool, but not a fan of that style.

[@darkwing11]

[@christrarback9748]

Thank you for sitting in the back. No one else I have watched did that. If you had to guess is there more room then the 3rd gen?

[@returnofthecmack2013]

Did they release payload specs for this trim for both the long and short bed options?

[@BC_Hunter]

I believe their class leading now.

[@buckmark23]

Is the crew cab still the size of a extra cab? Can you fit an adult back there.

[@syntrax-og]

No roof glass on Trailhunter?

[@NengVang2007]

I only got 1 key for my trd pro tundra and they told me I will get my second key in 3 months which mean they gave my key to new tacoma 😂

[@spenticus]

So Toyota revealed everything early? What happens at 1:30 am EST?

[@apexi350z]

Rear passenger seats and leg rooms are so small, just like the 3rd gen, with no A/C vents.. I thought they extended the wheelbase?

[@Blackpanther_risen]

TrailHunter looks awesome, just wished came in body colored wheel moldings also like on Limited

[@tigerbiterhater]

Just when i thought the Pro is the pinnacle of the Tacoma and Toyota drops this. Hopefully this trim will make the Pro less sought out and I can get a Pro. 😂

[@MPGunther1]

I thought for sure that Toyota would have put an A-Pillar driver side grab handle on. But anyway that is one awesome S.O.B.

[@coastalcarolinaliving]

4 door with 6 foot bed looks good. Dont like the safari bar id rather put a topper on it

[@fixitquick79]

I agree. I have never been a fan of sport bars on smaller trucks. I believe they said it was optional. So I would delete that and but a good quality aluminum full size rack.

[@seeniedk]

​@fixitquick79 you can turn it into a full size rack ha

[@jessehenry1254]

Ok I guess I'm the only person here who sees that we are getting a new truck with a 2.4 ltr motor albeit its turbo charged but without the hybrid feature it puts out same power as my 3rd generation taco it looks great but I really wish that they would have detuned the tundras motor and left it where it should have always remained....in the tacoma lol and the price I spoke to a dealer and he said to expect a 7 to 10 grand markup on these putting the TRD pro at nearly 70 grand. I really was hoping for something that would shut down the ranger raptor.

[@chrisx5127]

Never buy over MSRP, not a dime. If people stop being stupid with their money, then dealers are force to sell at MSRP or less. Remember, you as customer, have all the power.

[@J.Young808]

I like the current Trail wheel better.

[@ivaniuk123]

If they don't include a winch I wonder if the radar placement would interfere with winch installation 🤔🤔

Curious too
