Just wanna recognize how insanely consistently good Topher's videos are - POV drives are hard to get right, as evidenced by the abundance of 'just ok' POV content out there, but you have perfected the formula, and I love the fact that these aren't overproduced with a ton of camera angles, b-roll, etc. Keep doing what you do!

Fun fact: The race between James Bond and Xenia in the movie Goldeneye was originally between Bond's DB5 and Xenia in a Toyota Tacoma but they found the Tacoma to so easily out perform the DB5 in the curves that they couldn't achieve any level of suspense. So they replaced it with a Ferrari.

Honestly, the 2.4 turbo has been out for a few years in their other cars and it seems to be pretty reliable so far. It was their V6 replacement so I'm sure they poured a crap ton of R&D money into developing it. Its actually pretty smooth and less rattlty compared to the 2.5NA. Hope it can make the 200-300k+ mileage the V6 was known for.

@skytechenterprise9906 Ideally yes but if you just detune the engine and don't make dumb engineering decisions, you can definitely make a turbo engine last. Might only get 200k out of it instead of 300-400k but that's still good enough today I'd say. Even some Ford 3.5L ecoboost engines have made it past 300k miles. It's like AWD: improves performance but repairs will cost quite a bit.

You had mentioned that the 8 speed transmission is good. Is it better than the 6 speed of the previous generation? You said it was a huge improvement, did it seem like it was hunting for gears? on the highway?

I would be interested to test the seat height now. I had a second gen and at just over 6ft I could never get comfortable.

You should drive the 2021 civic ex hatch, that is my daily driver I love it

Interior is nice,

If it's like the sequoia, you need to be around 50mph or less to switch between modes to prevent engine damage. Read the book

@thetopher It seems like Toyota only had TRD Sport and below available for this press event, is that true?

How is the road noise? Wasn't that a big complaint with previous generation models? The engine sounds pretty noticable here. I want to say I saw on another video, the lady said they incorporated white noise into the cabin. I previously owned a '13 Scion FR-S and disliked the road noise, so a little nervous to go back to a noisy daily driver.

14:17 end of GTA map Niice video :)

Introduce a turbocharged truck to the NA market, everyone loses their minds worried about reliability. Offer them a Hilux or Land Cruiser, they won’t shut up about how reliable they are. Toyota knows how to make turbo engines, gas and diesel, performance and commercial. Turbocharging in and of itself won’t be the deciding factor in whether or not this engine is reliable.

That engine note is very Subaru-esque. Not fond of the looks other than the Trail Hunter. Will have to see one in person tho.

Toyota 👑

I bet uses 91 octane for towing, most of these motors say to do that. Any word if its air to air, air to water for innercooler?

Seems like the turbo 4 is revving maybe 1000 RPM higher than the 3.5 in general accelerations… could that pose an issue or inherent with 4 cylinders at this weight?

@ZoomZoom356

4 ай бұрын

That's not true, the 3.5 actually has to rev higher than this 2.4T, the 2.4T makes 317lbft of torque at just 1,700RPM, the 3.5L makes 265lbft way up at 4,600RPM, that old 3.5L was underpowered you had to rev the crap out of that V6 to get torque, this 2.4T won't need to rev up during mild acceleration and you most likely won't need to floor it to get up to speed, with that 3.5L it was foot to the floor every time you'd accelerate.

i really like that blue trim on the dash and the doors

Finally Tacoma is a modern vehicle

24 mpg highway in the 2WD model? That's not good. Is it because of the trim level?

Very nice

Suprsingly Toyota still offers the tacoma as a 6 speed manual 😂

From what I understand, it doesn't have a plastic bed liner - rather the entire bed inside and out is now plastic.

18.2 gas tank vs 3rd gen has a bigger 21.1 gas tank…and both Tacomas get almost the same mpgs..meaning 2024 more trips to gas stations.. Why NO gas hood struts? My 2001 Toyota Camry came with gas hood struts in 2001… ? No gas struts..reducing over all cost and reduce weights..? Lol

Drivability may be the only thing that will convince me to sell my 2019 Pro. Ride is great but transmission is absolute dog shit. This 2.4 sounds better and is a huge improvement the inside. Will wait until the 2026 model comes out though.

LOL. Maybe you want to take another listen to this engine. I thought it was the worst sounding, gravely, loud, unrefined engine I’ve heard in decades. Maybe it doesn’t translate well to audio. But I’ll tell you, when you opened the door from outside the truck, the little pop from the door (seals) exudes quality. Nice.

Out of all the updates, remodeling, and upgrading that Toyota did with the 4th gen Tacoma, I still prefer the 3rd gen Tacoma model design over the 4th gen. Am I biased? Yeah, but personally, I adore the 3rd gen sleek design over this one.
