Because of the 4 cylinder turbo, my TACO days are over

[@jimmy-buffett]

I kinda thought the same thing until I drove one. The 2nd gen (4.0L) Tacoma had good power / torque but not enough gears. At elevation in Colorado, these vehicles struggle to do 80+ on the interstate. The 3rd gen (3.5L) Tacoma was a downgrade with the same problem cruising on the highway. The 4th gen with just the 2.4 turbo (no hybrid) cruises in top gear on Colorado interstates easily. The torque coming on early from the turbo makes it feel like a faster vehicle overall. Obviously we don't know longevity yet but the 4 cylinder turbo is a big upgrade over the previous two generations of V6. I've also driven the new Land Cruiser and while it's pretty good, it's not great. The GX fixes every complaint I have with the Land Cruiser -- including the powertrain, 2.4L turbo hybrid vs V6 twin turbo -- which is why I'm getting one of those instead.

[@MrFbgm23]

@@jimmy-buffettthank you for the rational take! I totally agree. The power and access to torque with the new turbos makes the vehicle so much more pleasurable to drive on highway/when merging.

I still miss my v6 and the “trucky” qualities of the powertrain but a lot of that is just the machismo associated w cylinder counts 😂 these are great new trucks, IMO.

Weird you didn't mention the failing transmissions on these. Is that why you sold yours so fast? I saw on one video it was overheating for no reason.

[@mojo4376]

Toyota=LOL

[@bawintermage8351]

Watch this? Is Fast Lane giving out discounts for $60K plus Tacoma's? No? Nevermind, going to watch a barbecue video😂

[@ant208]

TFL actually means Toyota For Life.

[@ryanb8736]

@@ant208Not anymore. They sold theirs back to dealer. Too many issues with no parts to fix.

[@wd8085]

When you hire folks with minimal pay and CEO's taking a 46% raise, This is shown in the quality of their products. Do research of the issues these trucks are having, they are off the charts. If you have a 3rd gen or older you have a goldmine of the quality toyota used to be.

[@ryanb8736]

Minimal pay? They all got raises. Thats why the prices went up. Toyota is financially hurting. All their parts suppliers doubled their prices, because of pay increase and overhead.

[@ryanb8736]

If Toyota cared, they would have used better rust prevention materials like other companies do.

[@condios3312]

New Tacoma is not reliable

[@jaspercats]

They come with a replacement transmission for the 2024 models, or a new motor for the new tundras, Toyota is building shit now like every other manufacturer.

[@bladerunner6662]

Buy a Gen 3 with low miles. This thing is overpriced, underpowered, and made in Mexico.

[@1topcanuck]

I opted for that exact off road, right that down platform t and options. Love it, my gen3 off road was good, the 24 is better in performance, comfort, and styling. Also tows much better. Long term performance with the 2.4 turbo has yet to be determined.

[@LifeWithZach]

This was one of the best videos I’ve watched that clearly shows the different trim levels of a vehicle and I’m all for it! Keep up this kind of content. Helps buyers choose which model they want before a test drive

[@TheThewulasvegas]

I’m just here to brag about my GEN2 2012 Tacoma Trd. 139K miles.

[@andrewinaustintx]

The 4.0 V6 was the proper engine for an intermediate truck. It's sad that the 2016 3rd Gen introduced more than a few quality issue.

[@garysarratt1]

Off topic, narcissist.

[@speed8701]

I'll brag about my 2019 Tundra V8 Limited with 38,000 miles too and for across Country trips I use my 2012 CR-V with 90,000 miles on it and I'll NEVER buy a newer Tundra. As a matter of fact my Tundra will sell for more than I paid for it after all the extra fees and taxes.

[@timalan7406]

I brag about my 2016 TRD DC LB OR all the time.

[@chuckjones5016]

Way too much money for a 4-cylinder turbo and either the hybrid model. Ridiculous. Plus with all that technology computer crap the insurance companies have to raise their prices by at least $100 a month. To cover stuff that you'll never use hardly. Toyota needs to get back to making trucks and not computer chips on wheels. And 6 cylinders and 8s

[@davidjernigan8161]

Over 63k for a TRD pro with no options when MSRP on a ranger raptor with delivery is 57,300. No deal as the raptor has more equipment and can curb stomp the tacoma.

[@YTsurferr]

I was waiting for the iForcemax (Hybrid) MPG and price numbers to come out. Let's just say I was very disappointed in both numbers. You make a hybrid, but you use it for more torque, not efficiency. OK, but it's a mid-sized truck. If you're towing frequently, you're probably in the full size market. Like many Tacoma owners, it's my daily driver, and I use it for DYI projects and hiking/camping adventures. I needed higher efficiency, not more towing capability. I feel like they really missed the mark there.

[@steff855]

This is bullish!.. I feel ripped off .. I paid 57,000$ for my 2024 Tacoma 3 months ago here in Florida….. why are your prices so low…I got the TDR Sport with the JBL stereo the big screen 55,000$ after taxes EXT. it came out to 57,999$

[@mrcnorth7149]

Toyota's new trucks have only proven two things: 1) Too expensive for what they are, and against their competition 2) Potentially least reliable Toyota products of all time. From the Tacoma grill shutters, manual trans issues, and completely unproven 2.4 Turbo, to the Tundra's many issues past, and present. I'll watch from the sidelines with my 14 5.7 v8 Tundra and hope Toyota can fix this complete mess they created.

[@sandan500]

Why would anyone buy a truck that is overpriced with engine and transmission failures not to mention replacing a strong V6 and V8 with a turbo L4 because their engineers apparently are not smart enough to design. They created an electric truck and claimed specifications that are borderline fraud. I have owned Toyota trucks for over 20 years to include Tacoma’s and Tundras but I just replaced my old Tundra with a Honda Ridgeline Black Edition and I am very pleased with it to include the V6. I am done with Toyota Trucks they are much too arrogant and absolutely ignore the customer's wants and needs. IMHO.

[@jacobm1001]

The new tacomas are junk. My 3rd Gen is going OK at 134,000 miles . My next truck will likely be a chevy unfortunately. The 4th Gen tacomas are worse than 3rd Gen for issues and tundra spins bearings. No thanks. Tacoma is more worried about shiny and interior rather than durability and performance.

[@Tiovergudo]

Ive noticed how tight lipped this channel has been around the Tacoma. It’s laughable, they clown on Andre and his colorado for having the software issues but never broke mechanically and helped saved that tacoma when broken. Dont hold back TFL!!! They def have a gag order about toyota products so obvious

[@fooloco]

Just find it funny that everyone wanted a tough and reliable, simple and basic utilitarian affordable truck(i.e. overseas Hilux) and instead Toyota rolls out an overpriced extremely-complex Rav4 with a bed. The downfall of Toyota's reputation needs to be studied.

[@timalan7406]

The fully loaded Off Road in Solar Octane for $46,000 delivered- now I'm interested. But, at $56,000- I'll buy a used 2021 Tundra for nearly half that price.

[@crowneproductions9908]

Toyota is finally doing it. They are taking a brand name that took 4 decades to build up and throwing it away by getting greedy and overpricing these vehicles. Tell me where I've made "the smart guy decsion" when I pay over 10k more for a truck that's supposedly a more reliable name plate. How much money am I saving on that "reliability factor"?? Tell me that Taco boys. I'm sure most of you are suburban guys who work IT/Tech jobs and go off a paved road maybe twice a year with your smart guy Tacoma. Tell me how much I'm saving for the "Toyota Tariff"? Is it worth it? Is it REALLY worth that extra money? The answer to all these questions is buy a Nissan Frontier Pro4x for less than $40k or even a Z71 Colorado or 4x4 Ranger (and I don't even like FORDs) because each one of those alternatives is not less reliable enough to justify spending 10-20k more on a Toyota name plate. The days of Taco dominating the mid-sized market are over this generation. Mark my words, bookmark my post. June 2024 is the time.

[@loganfurst3010]

Watch icon suspension break there shock tower under 50 miles watch tfl break a diff watch them break a manual transmission probably should even think about buying one get a land cruiser its the only thing they build that isnt trash so many short cuts so much mark up

[@davidzavala337]

I think we all agree fornthe first time, tbese Tacomss are way overpriced and out of touch with reality. For a Mexican 4 cyl truck is too much money. The only power we have is not to buy or send letter. Journalist and channel like this one should raise our voice as they have direct line with Toyota. STOP the greed!!@

[@GigaMoonBoy]

Buyers guide: don’t buy the 2024 - current Tacoma

[@perrymc2243]

I really wanted one until I found out about the powertrain. Until they throw in a V6 twin-turbo with 400+ horsepower, there won't be one in my driveway. That's why I'm eyeballing the ranger raptor right now.

[@mikeinmass4]

Nice explanation of the different models . I like that Toyota has given their customers different options but and this is a big butt the prices are just outrageous on these trucks I think Toyota is goning have a hell of a time trying to selling these trucks. I have a 07 tundra with a 150000 miles I waited for the new time to come out and from the first time I seen it I thought it was ugly as hell and now they have all these issues with this truck. I knew the new Tacoma would be coming out shortly and I gotta say I do like the truck but the prices are just ridiculous seriously these trucks are 10 to 15000 over priced.
