2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited i-FORCE Max - POV First Driving Impressions

[@calembo7124]

Toyota has really been investing in promotion for their new trucks/suvs. It’s absurd how many events and reviews have been released recently.

[@pr33tu_]

12 just on this channel

[@aknadiri2520]

because no one buys them anymore

[@PikX221]

Gotta justify the price somehow

[@Mean_Bean279]

That’s because Toyota went nearly a decade without updating a single one of their BOF trucks/suvs. So you’re seeing a ton of press now, but for 10 years this design won’t change (much).

[@ryancuarenta9714]

Isnt that what any company would do , promote the newer products meaning advertising and consumer reviews 💀! Just saying

[@brq44]

$56k ouch

[@PaulsPlace]

Toyota really needs to make a Ford Maverick competitor. Using the current design language there’s no doubt it would look awesome. Throw the 2.5L NA hybrid from their RAV4 Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid and bam, will sell like hotcakes.

[@truly_I_say]

If you can find this model and trim level for $56k, you better buy it ASAP because there are lower trims going for mid 60k.

[@montes3of3]

In 1999 I paid $22k for a brand new fully loaded Tacoma extended cab TRD Off Road. In 2007 I paid $28k for a brand new Tundra SR5 double cab with the bucket seats, 5.7, and TRD Off Road package (2wd). In 2017 I paid $38K for a brand new 4runner TRD Off Road premium with KDSS, sunroof etc. $56K for a Tacoma is obscene. Even if you manage 15% off, that's still $47.6k. No way. You can still easily buy a 2024 5th gen 4runner 4wd for that price.

[@vipergts2909]

@@truly_I_sayI found an off road hybrid with premium package and a few other top options msrp 58k. Dealer rebate $2500 off

[@jonathanratliff4780]

If I were to buy a Tacoma this would be the one I would get I really love the limited in the hybrid version

[@PasleyAviationPhotography]

2024 Tacoma review number 43 thats popped up in my feed in the last few months. Is this the only vehicle being produced?

[@kevinkidneyy]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pr33tu_]

Just from a quick look it looks like Chris has posted 12 videos on the new tacoma. I wouldn't be surprised if he has made enough from those videos to pay for half of one 😂

[@zahf6484]

1. The most popular truck with a redesign. 2. That’s how a KZbin algorithm works. You viewed plus commented this video so don’t expect it to go away.

[@garrettspivey]

It's a very popular vehicle and since you keep clicking on them, the website thinks you want more.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Chris, As a former Lexus GX and 4Runner V8 owner, you would know how overdue permanent 4WD is on a pickup. 😁

[@bluethundar]

I am looking forward to the new 4Runner Limited/Platinum, this video is making me feel very optimistic.

[@Fadic4]

This new generation Tacoma is a masterpiece, if you consider overpricing an art form.

[@calembo7124]

lol

[@MontanaRealtyCompany934]

Underrated comment.

[@firefly9838]

It will be more reliable than the outgoing model. Yup. I mean that.

[@beexiong2995]

This is the spec I would get. Reminds me of my GX460 but with a bed and better fuel economy

[@mj45isgreat]

Just picked up my 2024 SR double cab for around 35,000. I’m in love

[@christopherclark6383]

Your videos are very HELPFUL, many thanks

[@shaniyoung6506]

Finally my favourite trim level

[@Noobs-r-us]

How does this compare to your new ranger raptor?

[@R19Robbin]

Can't drive the wrong way with the size of that huge navigation screen 😂😂

[@julioc.guevara3658]

I have never own a truck but watching Topher Review the Raptor and Tacoma makes me want to own one some day. Keep up the great work with the reviews!

[@JamMan6string]

Which gives better Smile Per Gallon, the Raptor or the MAX? The old 3.5L did not have to suck. I have that displacement in a 2012 highlander; I touch the gas and my passengers' heads gently tap back into their headrests, every time. Now, that effect was a lot more pronounced in my '03 V8 Tundra. Oh man, I miss that truck!

[@Rockybalboa541]

Cool truck wayyy too expensive also no rear vents or rear passenger arm rest is crazy

[@dawsongranger4940]

With how small rear seats are you won’t be fitting anyone back there anyways

[@Rockybalboa541]

@@dawsongranger4940 +1 for another reason its overpriced

[@scoobtay]

Can get a Powerboost F-150 for less than this if you shop around. Also a hybrid, but with 1900lb payload and room in the cab. Also 570 tq.

[@oldfisherman98]

And the reliability issue.

[@davidchenette1091]

I have a 2024 tacoma TRD off-road is there much difference in the way it feels for power and torque

[@calembo7124]

A 4x2 TRD sport non hybrid has an MSRP of 53k here in Puerto Rico. It’s absurd. How much will these go for? 70k?

[@jakejohnson9827]

yep

[@MarkVR-r4g]

I can only imagine the 4Runner pricing. Sr5 regrade with trd pro pricing…

[@YerBoyTroy]

im curious what the dyno curve is on the hybrids. does it really hit 465 lb-ft? Or are they just adding both of the power outputs together? Considering its a not a plug in hybrid, most charging happens through brake regen and alternator, im assuming the hybrid system has to actively manage the motor output to save battery. I hear that the motor only hits max output during the turbo spooling period or full throttle and under full throttle only a small window of full output. Something tells me the hybrid system isnt putting 326 HP and 465 lb-ft to the ground in the way we think it does. Would be good to have a detailed explanation of this. Otherwise the truck looks mint, if price were less of an obstacle id trade my 3rd gen in for one of these

[@alexsmba]

Not sure what you’re getting at. To quote Trump, I don’t think you know either 😂- but yes, the power output quoted is combined gas and electric motor, but it is actually producing that much torque at 1700rpm. In the same way that a V6 puts out its combined torque of 4 of the cylinders plus the other two. There’s no trickery to it. It’s real.

[@tsafa]

A lot of expensive shyt that doesn't really increase performance or decrease expenses in any way. Towing still shyty 6500 lbs. The price needs to be closer to 30k rather than approaching 60k.

[@CMarkem]

Why couldn't they just turbo the v6? I'm stickling with my 22' TRD Off Road 4x4

[@sgplayerj1]

i’m thinking the same thing I love my 2020 TRD Sport. It’s like a rock.

[@pb-ki3nx]

Which is quicker? This or ranger raptor?

[@Marbind]

Obviously the ranger.

[@mattbrown942]

ima go with the turbo v6 lol

[@Mc.Nuggetz]

I don’t know is a mid 5 second truck faster than a 7 second Tacoma hybrid ?

[@Marbind]

@@Mc.Nuggetz I wont be surprised at all if the Ridgeline is faster than the tacoma hybrid. It did 6.0 to 60mph in C&D latest test. Other sources had quicker times than before too.

[@Mc.Nuggetz]

@@Marbind I wouldn’t either. The Tacoma Hybrid system is a disappointment.

[@TopSecretAsiant]

If I can find an I force max in the trd sport or off-road, I will be buying this vehicle

[@hoseman10]

I just purchased an i-force hybrid max TRD sport, and it is awesome. No regrets spending the extra money for it.

[@gungoll]

Sir, you drove the iForce Max power train when you did the Tacoma Trailhunter video.

[@TheTopher]

I knowww, but I filmed/drove this first and then forgot about uploading it before haha

[@gungoll]

@@TheTopher AH! Makes sense. The motor seems like the best combination of fuel economy, power, and capability.

[@OverlandOrange]

Isn't the Trailhunter an iForceMax?

[@bajamotoadv]

Si quema o no quema cuh?

[@fscottnoah7223]

Being that this video had just dropped featuring The Limited, I thought surely the Iforce Max Engine had as well. 😒

[@briandejong4437]

This gauge cluster is a lot nicer than the Tundra and Sequoia.

[@johnla6922]

Is there any regenerative braking on this hybrid system?

[@Turbolungs]

There is regenerative braking in the sense that it will charge up the hybrid battery although not by much. It doesn’t use the electric motor to slow it down though if that’s what you were asking.

[@rndsommer40]

Im a buyer in 2026. Ill wait a couple years for Toyota to work out the kinks and keep my 2022 TRDOR. Hate the chrome on the limited.

[@mike9588]

Genuinely hoping we get a pricing revision for 2025 model year, considering Q1 sales were down 60% I think and Taco’s are sitting on lots all across the country

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

Q1 sales were partially down due to slowdowns the generation changeover and ramp-up create. That said, yes, they did shoot too high on pricing, and they took away the promotional financing rates that the previous gen enjoyed for years. I'm seeing $1-3k off MSRP offered on pretty much any 2024 Tacoma trim all over the place. They would be foolish to increase MSRP for 2025, it better either hold flat or slightly drop.

[@mike9588]

@@thatoneotherotherguyyeah but they also are having production issues due to lack of being able to employ enough people there’s a labor shortage, we’ll see what happens throughout the year and what kind of incentives are offered

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

@@mike9588 they're having labor shortages in Mexico, for that Mexican plant that produces the Tacoma?

[@Yalro6]

Im not against the taco, but i prefer the RR still. My #2 is actually the Colorado ZR2 Bison but I've started hearing a lot of negatives about them recently. Yeah, Raptor all the way rather its the F150 or Ranger.

[@cottonpinesap]

Oh no! I've been a fan of this channel but you lost me when I heard "Toyota is really doing a great job with their new trucks and SUV's" . I guess you've haven't heard anything about the Tundra? And I would not be surprised one bit if the 4 cylinder experiences similar issues. I guess a trip out west to drive some new cars doesn't technically make it a paid advertisement but this is about as close as it gets.

[@alexpatterson8289]

I don't understand I counted six seconds before the infotainment screen presented a acknowledge prompt. Who wants to sit and wait for the truck to boot up.

[@thedude3364]

Man, you can buy a 1/2 ton with a v8 for that price.

[@rbnh9827]

I see a Nissan Titan Pro 4X listed at $48k at my area. So yeah for about 7k cheaper.

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

Most Tacoma buyers can afford a half ton, but have no interest in owning a half ton. There's a big market for nice midsize trucks, and Toyota is trying to hold onto as much of it as possible.

[@davidchenette1091]

I agree with you 3.5 V-6 was junkie engine with the 6 speed automatic know torque

[@camcom76]

It's no torque...........jeez read a book.

[@CtrlTechKev]

What does NVH mean?
