7 minutes into this video and I could say this is going to be the best review. You’re not throwing specs at us, cause if you’re watching this video, you know the specs (hate when KZbinrs do that). You’re showing exactly how to live with a truck on a day by day basis. Great video.

[@MilesPerHr]

That's the idea - thank you for the feedback!

[@adner2020]

I agree 100%

[@lukenukem1207]

Yup! The qualitative, spec-less reviews is such an untapped market. Great video.

Nice! Thanks for subbing 🙏

I like the random Porsche and Lamborghini that came to play I mud kudos to them for fulfilling the cars duty

[@ayrow69]

As one who watches hours of car review videos, this one was a breath of fresh air. I'm researching this truck and your channel popped up on my feed. You hit on all of the things that people really care about. New subscriber. Thanks and well done.

[@siege159]

Car seat test is greatly appreciated. I wish more reviewers did that, since it was one of my biggest factors when buying a truck last year - it's actually the main factor why I crossed the Taco off my list. Cheers!

[@veritasaequitas517]

I am a prospective buyer of the ‘24 Tacoma. I have watched A LOT of videos about the truck, well before and since it’s finally out in the real world. This video is one of my favorites pertaining to the actual use of the truck. I really appreciate your approach to making this video, well done. My highlight: the noise of the windshield wiper motor! I loathe that sound. I don’t know if I ever would have thought of that on a test drive. THANKS…🤙

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you for the feedback - I'm glad this video is helpful!

[@Vultite]

It seems like all the new Toyotas make that sound now. My 21 does and my friend's 23 tundra does too

[@Doc1855]

The turbo gasoline engine will NOT last as long as a naturally aspirated engine. I purposely chose a 23 Tacoma because it has the naturally aspirated 3.5 V6 engine. The “new” 2.4L turbo engine is the same engine as in the Tundra and it has Fallen from Extremely reliable down to average

[@donhoe100]

The Tundra is a V6 with twin turbo's and the problem with the Tundra turbo's is the electronic wastegate actuator. The Tacoma uses a very simple vacuum actuator. And with a turbo engine you just got to keep the oil clean and let it warm up and cool down properly. @@Doc1855

[@SamsGamez]

For the 4wheel drive H, are you able to turn that on on the fly all the time?

[@7149250now]

I’m getting a 2024 TRD Off Road manual and I seriously cannot WAIT!!!

[@chrisx5127]

Congrats! Got to save the manual. New Tacoma is too expensive for me even though my truck cost more than a fully loaded OR, but it is a full-size, so value for dollar, it is decent.

Great useful review! This really helps me visualize how this truck may be good for me.

wow what a review i really want my next vehicle to be a mid size truck and this review sold me like no other love the color of this model you have going to start saving now!

[@sballalien]

I've never owned a truck. I have been driving a Honda CR-V for the last 19 years (2005, then a 2014), but the new Tacoma caught my eye for some reason, especially the hybrid AND this color. I love doing DIY projects and sometimes the CR-V just couldn't accommodate the items I wanted to buy. I have watched so many videos since the 2024 was first announced and this video has really helped me to see what the average driver will experience even if you don't plan on off-roading, but totally could if you wanted to. Great content!

[@LoneFisherman]

Once you own a truck you will NEVER go back to anything else

[@ericcarson342]

Best review I’ve seen yet of the new Taco. I’ve been shopping around to trade my Jeep in soon for a truck and had been wondering if I should get a full size or go the Tacoma route, and this has made me pretty much know I need a Tacoma. Just need to make the decision between a TRD Off Road or waiting for the TRD Pro’s to release

[@Ninjamstrboy]

love this

[@bnewton239]

that was a great review we wanted to see. much better than the cookie cutter mainstream reviewers afraid to say anything negative.

[@ZoomZoom356]

Toyota did an excellent job on this new Tacoma. It was long due for an update. I was initially unsure about the turbocharged 4 cylinder, but in fact it's a big upgrade over the old V6 which was very inefficient and also underpowered, the turbo 4 makes a lot more torque down low and paired to the 8 speed it's very smooth.

[@IP0Monsturd]

Watch TFLoffroad break their 2024 Tacoma. But if you stay away from 1 inch snow drifts your 4 cylinder Tacoma will be just fine.

[@billw8476]

@@IP0Monsturd my toyota dealer said not to take the 2024 tacoma off road until they figure out what went wrong.

[@sleepyknight9818]

Late to comment but I really enjoyed your review, I really wanted one of these trucks, but I have a baby on the way and the car seat is what did it, I went for a tundra and love it! Also at 6’3” I needed that leg room lol. And as a paramedic for a living I must stress it is not safe to have your seat up to where your legs are up against the dash in the event of a crash for people considering making the squeeze with the car seats or tall like me.

[@user59371]

6:47 that’s exactly the kind of stuff I love to know though 🙌

Looking between the taco and Colorado. one of my concerns was the rear facing car seats. One strike against the taco

[@Bedawson]

my 3rd gen has the same wiper motor noise. only notice it when my music is off

[@jetter820]

Is there anyway to get rid of the 5 chimes at start up? That is gonna drive me nuts. Also, I couldn't unheard the wiper whine after you mentioned it. What's the deal with that!? I don't like annoying sounds.

I wish more dealers had newer tacomas speced out like this. They either have complete base model with add ons such as ppf , or a fully loaded one asking 63,000, I just want a TRD-Off road with heated seats and the 14” screen for 45,000.

Wiper motors are crazy loud like in an old school car.

[@benworth9968]

Does this generation of the Tacoma have power folding mirrors?

[@BigMeanyVids]

Hope someone can do something like this with a limited soon. I assume it has more sound dampening but dunno.

[@Casualgaming93371]

Love the review but coming from the Midwest putting a truck into 4x4 for some rain hurt my heart, and unless I missed something in new trucks I was always taught to never put my truck in to 4x4 while I was in drive

[@ionlax28]

Yeah you missed something, a lot of newer 4x4’s you need to be moving for it to engage.

[@FuzzNiner]

A lot of newer trucks are e-diffs now and can be changed while in motion. Manual diffs should still be stationary when changing from 2x4 to 4x4.
