The 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF-ROAD (complete overview)

[@villagecpa]

I’m really enjoying my 2023 TRD Off-road. I did not want the 2024 version, but thanks for the great video.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching!

[@Copper0608]

Outstanding review Brian.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you so much!!

[@FX-cr7je]

Best thorough 2024 Tacoma review out there, great job,

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much! This made my day :-)

[@bimastrike87]

thank you for taking your time showing things slowly and up close, yes there are a lot of other Toyota Tacoma videos out there but yours stands out for your patience and attention to detail.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much!

[@richiep.3366]

An amazingly in depth review that deserves 100000 views! Love your attention to detail.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you!!

[@mjhns2]

I've seen several Toyota Tacoma videos, this has to be the most thorough and informative video. Thank you.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you!

[@jimf.625]

Best review, analysis and commentary on the new Tacoma I have seen.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you so much!

[@jmyers6175]

Good video. Do you still have your 21 army green tacoma? I still have mine, and I love it.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you. Yes I do!

[@short21yang]

By far the best content review I’ve seen so. Keep up the good work! Still debating about this car even after your review.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much! This made my night! :-)

[@Mjr1348]

The best vid I’ve seen. I’m really on the fence with a purchase. Love the silver. I wish it was a prem version vid. Good job ✌🏻

[@brianruperti]

Thanks!

[@gaaarrryyy5]

Awesome video. Glad you took a different approach instead of just reading off a spec sheet like many other videos. I really like the limited trim because I like chrome. I saw that it had an auto stop start button on it unfortunately

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! With the Auto start stop just remember to cancel it every startup and you’re good to go!

[@Bcp69]

Great review, learned some new things too so thanks haha

[@brianruperti]

Glad to hear it!

[@planoman0935]

Nice job on the video. I got my off road prmium about 1.5 months ago and love it! Came from a 2023 off road. The difference in the tansmission is night and day and safety sense 3 is also worlds better!

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! And yes I also enjoy the updates

[@americandude3825]

Thumbs up for you. Thumbs down for turbos and pricing. 😂😂😂

[@brianruperti]

Thanks! 😅

[@mikem5852]

I just picked up mine this week got this exact color but my radio display is different, smaller then what this one has. Wasn't sure if I liked these rims, but they are growing on me. Great detailed review and overview!!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching! Congrats on your truck

[@imLinAhMa]

Great video with lots of in-depth details!

[@brianruperti]

Much appreciated!

[@bradluterman]

Exceptional walk-through. I just bought this exact truck. Should be here in about a week. Looking forward to a deeper dive. I'll check out the software videos. Keep up the great work.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks and congrats!

[@donthesheek]

Again another no non-sense review, to the point, informative, great video/camera work. It's a great looking truck, I too have a 21 3rd gen OR. Between the two models there's some give and take. When one's available at a dealer in my area I'll take one out for a test drive for sure.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks so much! Always nice to see a comment from you!

[@minipandora22]

I agree

[@Igallaway]

Great review Brian, just went to my local dealership. They have a Sport Premium in Underground coming in Mid May. Put a deposit down on it.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! Congrats! Thats a very, very nice truck. And I love the underground in direct light!

[@TwoFeetOutdoors]

Strange, have seen full black grills in videos for the TRD Off Road and grills with the Toyota logo not blacked out. Wonder why?

[@brianruperti]

Typically the TRD is blacked out and other models have the silver

[@kellyquezada3908]

Great review, can't wait for your review on the SR manual, I mean my 98 does have roll down windows, so anything would be an upgrade!!!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks! I’ll def film it if we ever get one!

[@sclems4]

Great review Brian. New sub earned. Im getting rid of my 21 Limited for a 24 TRD Sport premium in a few weeks.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks!! Welcome to the channel. And great choice!

[@sopranojam]

Is the manual seat adjustment with electronic lumbar support the default? According to the builder, TRD Off-Road has "Fabric-trimmed seats; 6-way manually adjustable driver and front passenger seats with 2-way manually adjustable lumbar support on driver's seat only" but this has an electronic lumbar, which isn't mentioned with that combination anywhere.

[@brianruperti]

Correct this is the default unless upgraded

[@dustinclark8946]

One drive in both... Picking up my Tundra this week

[@jeffro5935]

Great review 👍🏻

[@brianruperti]

Thanks!!

[@Justfor1day]

Brian..you give great review...i agree it looks fast standing still...it does have great lines..are you keeping the 3rd or getting a 24'.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! Due to my current financial goals I am keeping the army green 3rd!

[@VictoriaWargaming]

Very good review.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks!

[@kellyquezada3908]

Hey Brian, have you ever considered a video on the 2024 Nissan Frontier? Your POV? That would be a very interesting video!! Maybe your neighbors would be cool with that...

[@brianruperti]

I shall consider!

[@kellyquezada3908]

@brianruperti your subscribers would love to know your oppinion!

I only have access to a 2023 frontier at this time but I’m sure my truck guys would like my view!

[@kellyquezada3908]

[@g7003041]

Great unbiased review. As the currently 2022 Toyota Tacoma owner. it just hard to upgrade to 2024 with such pricing ~45K and so many blank buttons, sliding rear windows optional, no power driver seat 😢

[@brianruperti]

Thank you! And I agree! Hard to justify taking things away and adding other things yet raising the price. /:

[@michaelsteelepix]

Excellent!

[@FlavorTree]

Is there an ambient light? Thats one thing i love about the rams, and the 3rd get just has one above the charging pad

[@brianruperti]

Not on this one. With the higher packages I believe it’s in there. I attached a link to the build info you can find out which grade and package will get it for you!

[@KO_infamous]

Doesn't the Trailhunter have an axle dump exhaust? Probably going to see a ton of people (myself included) doing that almost straight away.

[@morningdrums]

Am thinking of getting 2024 tacoma trd off road. But, It really needs a lift and bigger tires.

[@brianruperti]

Make it happen then!

[@Specz187]

Very good video. Best in depth that i have seen for a car. I recently bought a 2015 4runner limited in blizzard pearl with 120,000 miles and love the thing. Looked at Tacoma and tundra as well. I personally don't care much for the digital dash and the large touchscreen. Guess I'm old school, first 2 cars being an 88 astro van and an 89 buick lesabre. I like analog and buttons to control things lol as far as off-road I swear on my old land rover discos I had although they'd break down before they finished. Dodge durango was my only other thing I took off-road and it just fell apart, got pulled out with an Oldsmobile bravado, sad times. This new taco is nice tho, buddy has an 08 and uses it on his farm and daily and still runs good with 280,000 miles. Hoping for my 4runner to last that long.

[@brianruperti]

Hey thanks so much! And nice mileage on the Tacoma!

[@jigginwithgeorge1119]

Same screw slots for that air dam on the lower models

[@johnthearcher662]

Brian, nice review. Can you speak on the rear dif? Do you get the locker with the TRD OR like the last Gen 3 has? Worth mentioning....Regarding the 8 speed trans. I saw a video mentioning that it is the same 8 speed that Toyota has being using in other vehicles. Forget the model of the trans but I had one in my wife's Camry and that was a super smooth unit. Flawless shifting. Point being while the engine is "new" the trans is a very proven design. It may make some buyers feel better.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you. This is not my truck. The offroad has the rear locker. I like the way this drives a lot!

[@ericd1632]

The engine isn't new either. They've been using it in some of the Lexus models for years

[@johnthearcher662]

@@ericd1632 Yes you are correct. I spent the better part of a week looking at all the new offerings in this segment and I went with another Tacoma. This time an SR5 4wd to keep the cost down a bit. I'm rolling the dice with the reliability given all the changes. Toyata has a good track record with me. All the other offerings are a significantly bigger gamble to me in this area. The SR5 seems to have everything I reasonably need. I considered the SR trim but given the de-tuned engine and the old style leaf springs in back the SR5 seems like it is going to be the go to model for this gen Tacoma. Again thanks for your review and assessment of the new truck. Very helpful.

[@majorhavok9423]

Great review! I'm glad I'm keeping my 2022 offroad for sure. I like the old one better! The new one is nice but for some reason I just don't like it!

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching!

[@kennethjinkins8967]

can we change the headlight or is it a big job

[@brianruperti]

The bulb or assembly? Both appear pretty simple to do.

Anyone notice how dirty the inside lens of the headlight is? Why manufactures aren't rejecting these parts from suppliers, I don't know. I've also never opened my back window in my Gen 2 except to clean the glass.

[@brianruperti]

I don’t think that was inside the assembly, I sure hope it wasn’t…

[@1jfmurray]

Except you wiped it and nothing came off.@@brianruperti

[@lc7192]

Brian, there are probably vents under the front seats that will provide cooling or heating to the rear area just like the 2021 Tacoma that you now have. I know they aren’t as good as regular vents in your face but they do work. I don’t know why none of the UTuber knows about these vents. I’ll bet Toyota continues with these vents for rear seat passengers on the 2024 Tacoma models.

[@brianruperti]

I understand but when it’s hot I need my chest vents 🥵

[@stanleyblazeraznik6047]

Thank you for this. Why do I keep coming back to the Tacoma? Looks! I like the Canyon ATX4 but man, the Tacoma just looks like…..Me.

[@brianruperti]

It’s a nice truck!

[@Ryan-cf6lc]

Love the detailed review, it did seem like you were grasping at a lot of straws. I can’t help but feel like you have mixed feelings about the new Tacoma.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you. I just freestyled it and went with my honest first thoughts. I wanted to be as unbiased as I could. I personally think it’s an awesome truck!

[@christiankelly9019]

This thing rides like a caddie. I have the 24' TRD OFF-ROAD with the remote back window, Also it has a dampen tailgate. I guess those aren't standard. Interesting 🤔.... The bed has the DC port on the driver side and Ac port on passenger side..

[@wen_zar]

My 2015 f150 gets 19 city and 28 hwy! My 2.7 eccoboost twin turbo is fast but to get that mileage you need to go slow speed limits

[@lc7192]

If you park your 3rd gen Tacoma in your garage, the length will be the same but the 4th gen Tacoma is 4 inches wider. So if you park two cars in a two car garage, you’ll have to find room for the additional width.

[@brianruperti]

Nothing wrong w a little more width 😎

[@ericd1632]

​@@brianrupertiThat's what she said 😏

[@wshaffer79]

I really like the look of this one, even more than the 3rd gen, but I think it'd be better with the V6.

[@brianruperti]

V6 reliability!

[@jefferylorance7988]

Smaller gas tank 18.2 gals, vs 3rd gen at 21.1 gals…still NO gad hooded struts..note my 2001 Toyota Camry came with gas hood struts…SAD no gas struts, smaller gas tanks ..means more gas stations stops..

[@brianruperti]

But my skiddles are at the gas station 🌈

[@Rocksolidamerican]

That’s not extra thick paint on the bottom. That’s chip guard and it’s a pain in the ass to duplicate if you work in a body shop like I have for the last 30 years.

[@brianruperti]

Agreed!

I was waiting for hybrid but not now after seeing performance numbers. Not worth its extra weight for the money.

Cute truck but no good in that spare tire situation and the lower under carriage items. Hassle.

[@wen_zar]

I sleep in back seat of my f150 and it’s roomy on feet and seat

[@nastysoda9212]

As an owner of a 2nd and 3rd gen, this is a huge downgrade and disapointment. RIP tacoma, you were loved.

[@brianruperti]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts sorry to hear you’re not a fan. Hopefully the next gen will intrigue you.

[@toneyo4794]

I don’t think the new Tacoma has been out long enough to say it’s a disappointment. You may not like some features or the engine but until it’s been experienced I don’t think you can have a legitimate opinion of the new Tacoma. I’m not saying you’re wrong I’m saying you just don’t know if it’s a disappointment yet.

[@alexanderradec]

really disappointing in the rear sliding window and how much more expensive it is, 2025 should be better and improved

[@wen_zar]

Back seat wayyyyy too small, will get tundra or stay in f150. The smaller trucks are so cute but too small

[@KXCvin-W]

Too much tech for me. This truck is too gimmicky will have alot of problems later. Good review I do however like the style of this truck.

[@brianruperti]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@mikeherber8358]

Why the heck you need usb in the rear, stupid what a waist of space cigerette lighter for lights would be more usefull

[@brianruperti]

Rear passengers probably want to charge their phones or video games.

[@mini2nut67]

Cost cutting is pretty obvious on the 4th Gen. Halogen front turn signal bulbs, skid plates are not steel, stamped steel lower control arms, etc. The list goes on and on.

[@lokkstarproductions6918]

Skid plate is composite if i’m not mistaken. Composite is better than steel. Same strength but way lighter.

I thought your review was very honest , but to say moderately affordable I totally disagree this truck is completely overprised. To hear that particular truck is going for 40 -50K is ridiculously overpriced
