Tested one yesterday, exact model and color, they wanted $48k out the door. No budging either, market is crazy right now.

May 4th be with you, Sarah

Just bought my first Toyota last week, a 2022 Tacoma SR5. I love it already. I went with the V6.

Nothing like a Sarah video to watch before sleeping. Love the humor Love the tech stuff

Wonderful video Sarah! The trail edition should come with an access cab/6 foot bed option. It is also worth mentioning that the coolers in the back are removable. Bed space is already at a premium with the short box!

I have this exact truck. The reason i got this over the trd was because the first thing anybody does with a new truck is lift it and throw wheels and tires on it. This already has lift and wheels and tires.

One of your best truck reviews. Perhaps the best? And humorous too. Thanks

Bought mine used. Love it alot so far. Pretty simple nothing to fancy for a modern truck. Just what you need

Your right about the price point. If it was about 4k cheaper that would be awesome. But then you also have to figure in the quality of a Toyota on that 40k price.

An in depth review that’s actually in depth. You’ve got my subscription. Mostly for petting the tire.

Bilshhhhsteens. I love it when you speak German.

You hit the nail on the head. 4 cylinder version of this would be perfect. Thank you for showing the rear lift on these. No other reviewer shows how it’s actually lifted and I have wondered.

The different selections 2H, 4H, & 4L on the hill really displayed capabilities.

This Taco is also great as a blank canvas for custom accessories. Like you, I'm drawn to uniqueness.

"price as tested $40k" We wish! Even at the tail-end of the 3rd gen, they're getting obscene markups. Great review, as always

Great review, Sarah. Tacos and refired beans are one of my favorites, so keep up the great work.

Thank you ! For your time !

Great review Sarah! Loved it😃👍

Ah, the squirrel-part! Yet another genius Sarah-moment - you simply don't get things like that in other car reviews! (Same goes for the extensive off-road test - You are the only car reviewer I know of that actually drive off-roady vehicles in their natural habitat. 5 out of 5 squirrels for that!)

I should thank you. This video last year was what made my mind up about getting this truck. Thank you

Love the video. Looking forward to seeing more.

2022 Trd off-road in celestial silver is what I’m slumping around in and very happy. Thanks Sarah

Been waiting for this forever!!!!

Love your videos Sarah!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Purest edition for that base version you described. I’ve long wanted a taco 4x4, never once wanted an 6cyl or an automatic.

Great Video, Nice!

Love u Sarah!!! My favorite youtuber!!!

Great review. And its a great truck. I bought the last year 2023 Trail Edition and its been 8 months and I have zero regrets. I absolutely love it. Youre a very beautiful woman too.

Happy Humpday Sarah!!! Kinda reminds me of Jeep JK Sports that pretty much go everywhere a JK Rubicon will go, granted one must get creative with picking of lines without having lockers, but there's definitely a saving in initial cost. Stay excellent!!!😎

Great video as always Sarah ! I wish they would offer this with a double cab & 6 ft bed , or , they should offer all of the SR5 models ( how about all models ) with the rear locking differential . Like you say , no need for all that crawl control and multi terrain select and hill descent jazz , just 4WD and LSD with locker is all ya need .

That fire at 16:50 looks like a lightning strike caused it.

The wheels look awesome.

Funny , cool vid. Thanks Sara!

I bought a 2021 Trail Edition last year, and all I got were the fancy bed boxes that I removed the 2nd day of ownership. Love the changes they've made for the 2022, esp the color, wheels, locking diff, etc. I had a 2021 Ranger for a few months, and I miss the Cactus Gray.

Awesome great review

The Toyota in bronze on the grill matching the wheels is a nice touch.

Wow! You look amazing.. great review.. 6 speed always 👍

Just bought one , great truck!

I really wish manufacturers would bring back small V8s. A Tacoma with a 6 or 7 speed manual transmission and a 4.0l V8 with the same technology this 3.5l V6 has would be about the perfect truck for daily driver duty. It would have around 300hp with a broader torque curve than the V6 for better acceleration and towing, and if you gave the engine cylinder deactivation so it could run as a 2.0l 4 cylinder at low loads it would have better fuel economy than the V6 as well. Unfortunately, nobody's likely to spend the money on tooling and R&D for this with everyone pushing to go all electric. I'm frankly disappointed with how quickly manufacturers skipped over hybrid technology in favor of an all electric future that our power grids and battery technology aren't likely going to be able to support for at least a decade or two after the arbitrary 2030 deadline most manufacturers have set for themselves.

Design one and show it to them and maybe they buy your design. But I bet that u haven’t invented a small v8 with 300 horse power that give you at least 20 miles per gallon. Clown

Thanks for a great review,and also thanks!!! Now i want taco's....

A 2022 SR5 Trail Edition package without any additional options comes to about $41,300, fees included, on Toyota's website. You'd be better off getting a TRD Off Road. You get more bang for your buck!

Hi Sarah from Australia, this pick up segment is really going great guns in Australia, it's wall to wall dual cab utes as we call them here, our equivalent is the Toyota Hilux, and the Ford Ranger, both swap places month by month for the best selling vehicles in the country, much like your Ford 150 dominates sales there in the US. Great review, thanks 👍🏻

Ford Ranger is 100x better than a Hilux on sheer capability & design.

Those wheels 😍

So cool! I LOVE my 22 trail edition. So many people comment about the wheels lol. I got wheel locks the day I got home ahahaha

It’s interesting this model has that SR front bumper air screen thing. I thought all trail editions have that removed since it ruins approach angle lol

Sarah LOVES the braking tests...😜😜😜

You are not ridiculous, Sarah, you are adorable.

Hey Sarah, about a second and a half before you said I wonder if a V8 would fit I thought same thing also wondering if you can mate up the V8 with the six speed manual ? don’t think Toyota ever had a manual V-8 none that I can think of in the US anyways. Sounds like a great project🙂Have a great one as always🐧🐧🐧👍

Entertaining vid, nice truck.

Great video

Cool video thanks.

Great show 😅❤😊

In this episode, butt hurt came up and other things I found quite interesting. My mind was processing and there it was...yes coolers in the back of the truck! Now you can take your hurt butt and sit on a bag of ice! You're welcome! ✌️

You probably would have have made it in 2-hi with the rear locker engaged and a matting the skinny pedal.

You’d be surprised what a 2wd Tacoma can do, I have a Prerunner Tacoma from back when that was a trim option (2wd on 4wd chassis) and it’s pretty capable, I just make sure to always have a friend, a recovery rope, and a d-ring shackle hitch on hand at all times

Excellent review Sarah! The Toyota is a nice truck maybe the manufacturer should offer a turbo to increase the power👍😉

I agree about the bare bones 4 banger standard transmission option. Come on Toyota get with it.

The only time the Tacoma looked exciting accelerating was when you were driving the manual and working that stick like it was meant to be worked. The minute I gave it the beans during a test drive was when I fell out of love for it. It still has awesome off road and longevity features. Just wish it was quicker.

Was considering buying the Tacoma Trail but was unaware they don’t have a fully boxed frame. Had a 1992 Toyota xtra cab in high school and that lil truck had a fully box frame.

They don’t have fully boxed frame in the rear to give it better off road articulation.

SARAH!!!!!

Seems like a pretty cool version of the Taco, though I agree it would be nice to offer the off-road goodies on a truly basic truck; especially if it could be had without the 4-door cab. I had a '97 Dodge Dakota that was probably about the same size as this (Tacomas of the '90's were a bit smaller), and though mine had the base V-6, it was available with the 5.2L V-8; that engine wasn't any wider or taller than the 6, just longer since it had another pair of cylinders. So I would think Toyota's smaller V-8 would fit, and they could do something truly awesome and offer it with a manual.

If they can get the small V8 into the Lexus GX they could definitely put one in a Tacoma. But they'd rather sell you a Tundra.

@cnorton1us keep dreaming. Not only will they never offer a v8 in it, soon the v6 will be gone too. Only 4 cyl. turbo.

My friend has a 18 tacomama same color or close to it... cool trucks cool eye liner

Take my word for it, you don't want to touch a squirrel 😂

I played with the configurator on Toyota's website (a very confusing configurator), and found out that Trail Edition package is available on SR5 trim only in double cab, 5ft bed with 4x4 3.5L with auto only. No manual. Manual is available on TRD trims only. Similar TRD Off-Road manual costs $3.5K less then Trail Edition.

Great Pickup and it is Toyota tough! Thanks Sarah 😎👍🇨🇦 I don''t see the need to refry fried beans that is a mystery.

Sarah is a special edition with many top of the line features!

You’re very charismatic 👍🏼

I was totally wondering if it was like the Cactus Grey? Thanks for saying that.

Thanks Sarah for taking Pengi along for the second drive! I suppose the high up position was due to the off-road testing over the usual back seat-belted in the camera angle. Rub his head as the headrest looked crushingly uncomfortable 🙄 Interesting wide-bell, button-front jeans - haven’t seen any since the 70’s 👍

Informative and Ridiculous🐧, that's why I keep coming back for more 👍

So regular SR5 Hitachis with lift springs front lift blocks rear, no fuel tank skid and some different looking rims/grill for a higher price than a TRD OR. Thankyou for confirming what many of us over at TW have been thinking, that this is a more expensive less capable truck. Considering the price difference if you have the extra grand, get the TRD offroad and factory lift kit.

Great review as usual. Cool looking truck but I’d go with the TRD off road which is available with the extended cab , (don’t need a 4 door), that gets you a bigger bed . I’d also go manual so it would be a few thousand less and have the better shocks.

TRD Off Road only comes in manual if you get the double cab short bed, no access cab manual offered unfortunately unless you go with the TRD Sport.

Thanks bro

Very first thing I noticed after buying it was how damn heavy the hood was. Id gladly pay dealership prices for them to come with hood lift supports from the factory like most other trucks have at this point

I love this review. Tacomas are hard to come by but they had one just like this at a local dealership sooooo…I bought one. I actually love the truck. The built in storage in the back is NOT watertight. Sold as storage. ( yea I know, drivers side “doubles” as a cooler). Ruined some work gloves and ropes and extra jacket stashed in there when I opened them to find them filled with water. Dealership called Toyota Corp and were told the boxes are both coolers. Not true. Don’t store tools or anything you don’t want to get wet in there.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Now I want tacos. 🤤🌮

I LIKE THAT TACO, WISH I COULD AFFORD ONE 😆.. THANKS GIRL

You’re awesome and funny❤

Can you put a Subaru Forester Wilderness edition on the lift? I know you reviewed it and a more indepth review would be great. Thx

Hey Sara-Tune, when describing the FRONT brake configuration at the 6:08 point you said and I quote . . . "Prior Generation TACO" - 🤣 was that from TACO Bell 🔔 or phriggin' Del TACO Yo ?!? 🔜 🌮 🌮 🤣 👊

Looks solid. I would keep the v6 3.5L engine but couple that with a 6 speed manual transmission.

Did you get your glasses back? No science without them? 😎

That sandwiched area of the Y pipe where it tucks under the transfer case it double walled, a pipe inside a pipe, for sound suppression. So, the exhaust flow area is much smaller than it looks.

I love Sarah's talent, humor, beauty and knowledge

Thank you

Please do a 2024 Toyota Tacoma trd pro review! On these hybrid

I wouldn't dismiss hill descent too quickly. It helps prevent brake wear. I have seen firsthand brakes go out in offloading adventures while descending a hill before.

Cool paint

I wish it has A trac as well meaning the Trail Edition would be really great

I see, Taco Bell bottoms. 👩‍🔧👖🌮

It's interesting to see you go from Gram's Ranger to reviewing this.

I’m glad my dad got the 22 taco oR he’s said I can have it after I graduate from high schooo😂🎉

`Spot on about "if they made"... a 4cylinder, high revving, crew cab, 4wd, manual transmission as standard, bash-bars, sliders and winch = a modern day/retro 1980's rock crawler canvas.... they'd sell out before they hit the showroom floor.

I like the color
