You guys are the first to snow-test the new Taco I guess, thats a nice side effect of living in Canada 😂. By the way very nice videography you made here, thnx Steve and the team TK.

Thanks! 😃

Great video, first time I’m seeing it out in the elements off-course. I appreciate you guys putting it through its paces a bit. I also appreciate your explanation of the coil vs leaf spring in this and your on-road review.

I don’t blame you, the new tacos that are coming look like a game changer, from the seating position change, to the extra features. It’s nice.

Lots of good changes made. One complete failure is back seat legroom. If you and your dad want to take some friends on some trails, they will not be happy. They had a chance to increase rear legroom, but failed. Great/outstanding two person pickup.

Nice truck, looks proper with the 6ft bed. Got a feeling in the lower 48 that’s gonna be low $50’s out the door after options , destination, tax and fees with no incentives. At that price not an easy decision (cheaper options, go full-size…etc). Great Video as always! I think I’ll keep rolling in my 17’ Colorado V6 87,000mi paid for 😎.

I'd usually agree with you but up in Ontario I see base 1/2 ton work trucks starting at 50k+ it's insane. A comparable model to my 18 f150 now would be starting at 65k or more, when I got it it was the price of the work truck.

It only has 5,900 miles on it. You don't need a truck. You can go another 15 to 20 years before you will need another truck. By then you will need $75,000 to $100,000 to buy one. I suggest you start saving for it today.

[@bigdog5177]

My first Toyota truck in 95 had a 2.7L 3RZ 4 cylinder. It was not super powerful for speed or towing, but it was very reliable. Problem with 4 cylinder engines is that they usually work 50% harder than 6 cylinders of comparable design. Having said that, I got 356k miles out of the 3RZ before the engine had a water jacket failure in the head. My 07 FJ Cruiser has 510k on the 4.0L 1GRFE 6 cylinder. A 4 cylinder engine can last a long time, but not as long as a similarly designed 6 cylinder. How long the engines last will be a function of how well the owners keep up with the maintenance, the quality of the oil used, and also how much they abuse their rigs. Personally, I would rather have a naturally aspirated engine vs turbo/SC design from a longevity standpoint. Yes I know mpg is worse with V6 vs 4cyl. Longevity and reliability are my primary concerns.

[@Ichibuns]

The NA 4 cylinder Tacoma's are perfect trucks for hardware/lawncare runs. One of Toyota's most reliable setups.

[@TheBRUINS1337]

Many say this is a step in the wrong direction away from the reliable v6. Note a few things first before judging. 1. The turbos are commercially duty tested (more rigorous standards) 2. The truck is now built on a global platform. Meaning in 10-20 years when you want any sort of part it’s going to be much easier and more affordable to do. 3. The downsizing of the engine to a v4 isn’t bad at all. You get fun turbo noises now. More torque and more responsiveness by far than the outgoing v6. Also if you have any sense for style the new platform looks much tougher and more rugged than the previous gen.
