Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF-ROAD Review *Heavy Duty Mechanic* | The Best TRD Package?

I traded a 2018 Ram 2500 for my 2021 Tacoma TRD Off Road. In my opinion, the Tacoma by far out performs off road than the Ram, interior size and rear seat comfort is where the Ram shines.

[@hectorgarcia1624]

This guy is really comparing the Tacoma w his powerwagon 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@peterhoma6385]

I person own a 21 Tacoma TRD OR4x4 in a automatic and have thousands of off road miles on it so far from sand to mud , rock crawling & snow & I would not trade it for any other truck out there , most people DO NOT know that the OFF Rd and the PRO Tacomas share lots of parts with the Hilux , like the 8.75 inch rear diff , spindles , hubs etc. so the OR & the Pro versions are pretty robust built compared to the Sport models and lower …. Good review 👍🏻

exactly what I noticed! the Pro has the same driveline as this truck. very impressed with this Tacoma tbh. I think it is the best bang for the buck trim

He said Power Wagon, so selectable front and rear lockers, sway bar disconnects, a factory winch, more gearing, taller tires, and more power. So, yeah it is more capable unless it doesn't physically fit on the trail.

The payload you stated is for the 4cyl 2wd access cab. The truck you are are looking at only has a payload capacity of 1155lbs depending on added options.

Never done any real off roading with it either haha I just didn’t like the looks of the trd sport with the hood scoop. You have a nice shop dude!!! That pit is scary tho haha I’m guessing it was designed for busses/semis? There’s no margin for error with the taco on there….

Good info. Thank you!as of yesterday I purchased the 23 TRD OFF ROAD and Traded my base model 2017 4x4 tacoma.Yes even the base model held its value very well,only 17k financing with 53k miles,not a bad trade in.

[@SumOneSomewhere]

I got a 2020 trd off-road. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Gas mileage sucks though so I may get a little used Honda for work and just use the taco for hunting and fishing.

[@J.Young808]

I’m actually going to increase my MPG/ L/100km and lower my bill because I’m coming from a Subaru Outback XT that’s lifted and requires premium fuel. Even if I only get 18mpg in my TRD OR access cab I’ll spend less. I’m hoping for 20+ since I drive like a grandma with Honolulu gas prices. Sam’s Club & Costco $4.14-regular & $4.34-premium outside stations are $4.54 & $5.09 respectively and that is the cheaper station brand. National stations are a few cents more expensive. I am picking up a 2023 TRD Off Road 4x4 Access Cab on Saturday Jan 27th since it’s the last of the Access Cab style xtra cab. Plus I like the look better than the DCSB/DCLB.

[@benjones8977]

You better check your Payload again, it’s at the drivers door and my sticker says 950 pounds. There’s no way yours gets 1500 pounds payload! My 2019 Trd has a 6 foot bed!

[@KeithStarr]

I owned a 2012 Tacoma TRD Off-Road for 6 years and 120k miles (4.0L V6, 5 speed auto) before jumping into Rams. I did a ton of off-roading including Hell Revenge in Moab, etc, so they are capable. The A-TRAC did help the front end with no locker. The only consideration is size which is good/bad. Lacking bed space, cabin space, and towing but they're pretty lightweight so if you don't need the capacity of a larger truck they're a great choice.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

you nailed it on the head. if you don't actually need a truck to do truck things then this is a great option. obviously you could tow some sleds or atv's but I wouldn't be wanting to tow camper trailers with this tacoma.

I was able to get this truck for an amazing deal and it was the only 6 ft. bed double cab at the dealership. It was sold already and they had it hidden in the back but the buyer had gone out the country and lost his truck so I scooped it up. went from a 21 Honda civic hatchback sport to the Tacoma trd off road.

Did you purchase a brand new TRD Off Road (6') long bed - straight from the factory? I've never seen one here in the Northeast, ever. One thought is that the TRD OR stickers were affixed later on (if it is a used track.) That I have seen - the stickers are cheap.

The Tacoma is NOT a "heavy duty" vehicle. Heavy duty is 3/4 ton and up. That means Ram or Chevy or GMC 2500/3500, or Ford F-250/F-350 or above. This is a LIGHT DUTY vehicle i.e. half ton. It's equivalent to Ram or Chevy 1500/Ford F-150. If you're confused look at other auto makers naming, Chevy/GMC even has HD in the name for 2500/3500 but there is no HD in the name for 1500.

[@Oakshang]

I think he knows that...

[@TheGettyAdventures]

🙏🙏 Thank you Jon

[@TheGettyAdventures]

the Tacoma is a mid sized truck. what i was getting at is the payload numbers. Technically this Tacoma can put more payload in it then my Ram 2500 Power Wagon. having an HD truck means nothing. for example most HD trucks have a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 10,000 lbs. but if the HD truck weighs 8,500 lbs then you can only have 1,500 lbs of payload. Yes the truck is bigger and stronger and the axles are tougher. but you can still only have 1,500 lbs of added payload before you are overloaded. where as the Tacoma may have a max GVW of 6,000 lbs but it only weighs 4,460 lbs. meaning that you can but 1,540lbs of payload in the truck. resulting in a higher payload. yes the truck is not as "heavy duty" but it can handle more payload.

It's an okay midsize truck. My only problem with them is, some people not all, ride the high horse pretty high about them where I live. They are a rough ride and have no room, not sure why it has been deemed as so superior. Depreciation is the only superior part about them IMO. I think I would rather a Ranger. More room in the cab and better bottom end torque, also a deeper frame. Rangers towing capacity is 7500 lbs. The internet is just swamped with Toyota fan boys and they don't sell that many trucks. I think the old Corolla drivers must get online and chirp. Now the new Tundra from an engineering/mechanical standpoint is superior to others on the market, different story there. Credit where credit is due.

great comment! love the honesty, and I would agree there is some folklore around these trucks that may over hype them. I will agree the interiors are very basic for how expensive they are, it's also pretty loud when driving and the ride was rougher then I expected. I did think my Power Wagon would mop the floor with this tacoma but it actually held it's own very well. That video should be coming out tomorrow!

@@TheGettyAdventures The Ranger Tremor package is quite a nice competitor to it. Priced competitively too. Okay man thanks look forward to it. 👍

I don't own any of these trucks but from sitting in several of the trucks and positioning the seats to where they were comfortable for me and sitting in the different seats I'd have to say the ranger was the smallest inside, the only thing it had more of was head space, but felt much more narrow and less knee room in the back. The Colorado was a little better than the ranger but still felt more narrow than the tacoma witch yes had less head room and dose have a different seat feel. But I don't mind ether way because I'm used to driving what ever get's me from here to there, usually old work trucks or cheep used vehicles and comfort usually being secondary. Also I might have miss understood where you said they don't sell that many trucks but I'm pretty sure I saw information on midsize trucks sold and the tacoma sold as much as the next three competitors combined but I might not have understood what you meant and that just my experience, by no means law.

@@kevinjust6740 Disagree the new Ranger is not small inside, I test drove one. Plus you don't hit your head on the A pillar like you do in the Taco. I'm 6'1 and headroom is not a problem and you don't sit on the floor of the thing either. It's the international platform and that is a heavy frame for a 1/4 ton. Toyota sells 60-70k Tundra's and 150k Tacos. Ford and GM sell nearly 1 million pickups a year and Ram is 600 to 700k. So nearly everything you called me out on you're wrong about. I'm sure in the next gen Tacoma will correct all these things, ride, fuel economy, cabin room. Then all you fan boys will wonder why you spent all these years on the internet tapping the keys. That's sure what they did with the Tundra.

@@peiguy1982 Lol well like i said i don't own any of these trucks so calling me a fan boy don't really mean nothing but you seem alittle defensive about it. I was just giving my opinion about how it felt for me someone 6' who sat in and tested these and the ford for me was like holding hands with the person next to me but obviously you feel different, like i said it don't matter to me. But i was specifically talking about midsize trucks not the whole line of vehicles or trucks. And not that BS that ford puts out about being they're F series being the best selling truck when they don't tell you that they classify all they're trucks, even the semi trucks they make F series. So from my dealings with fords and working in several of they're factories and dealing with people that work there i'd personally never own one, so i'm not so much a toyota fan as much as don't trust or care for ford fan i guess. But i still say of the trucks in the midsize class it feels the most narrow to me, but yes does have more head room and in the end to each his own as long as the owner is happy with it what does it matter.
