If you didn't catch it in time it would over heat the engine, warp the heads and you were screwed.

Cool! I was at VAIL last month. Missed you guys. 😂 Rented a JEEP 4xe & that motor ran constantly trying to charge that cold battery. Eventually turned that off & got much better fuel economy.

Since there are three separate assembly plants for the Toyota Tacoma, ( yours was assembled in the Guanajuato, Mexico plant), and the Baja California Norte, (Tijuana, Mexico) plant, and the San Antonio, Texas plant, if there is a difference in quality control. I bring up this question since I had a 2020 Tacoma, that was assembled at the Guanajuato, Mexico plant. That truck with only 45k miles was totaled out in a severe frontal impact accident last year. I purchased another 2020 Tacoma truck, this one being assembled at the San Antonio, Texas plant. I have noticed that this newer truck, for lack of a better word, feels "tighter", in regards to engine response, and in the braking, as well.

Thanks for the real world test. I really appreciate it. In your newer video towing after your repair, you checked the transmission temp and found it hot. I wonder if you did that during this test. second question, I pulled my 4800lb camper up and down the same route with my 200 series. Engine had plenty of power but Transmission got hot. Found out later for the 200 series you should take it out of Drive and put it into a gear. The heat is caused by the tranny looking for the ight gear going back and forth. Does tow mode prevent that?

You can disable adaptive cruise by holding the cruise button for 3 seconds when turning it on. Then it is regular cruise control. Coming from experience, even the 3rd gen Tacoma is much better at automatically grade shifting when you use cruise control.

Problem is that torque generated by an electric motor falls dramatically with RPM and the battery doesn't have huge reserves, so it's not going to matter with testing on the Ike Gauntlet.

I’m curious, too. From what I could see on the gauges, both the engine and transmission were very close to overheating on the CO on the way up Ike. Incorporating data like temperatures would be an interesting addition to these tests.

It would have been interesting to monitor boost once at 60mph up the hill. I know I see a lot of sustained boost of 5+ when towing my 5000lb boat at 70+ mph on the interstate with my 2023 Trail Boss.

In the Tacoma, do the red indicators on the dash by the speedometer and the tachometer only light up during braking in tow/haul mode? Or also when not towing?

It wont make a difference. Watch the Tundra iforce max video. The electric motor does nothing except for the initial acceleration and then abruptly shuts off at 50 mph. So you just get to carry an extra 500 lbs up the hill. The tacoma system is identical to the tundras.

I hope that you can install your own integrated brakes controller in the 24 Tacoma like you can in the 3rd gen?

My friends have a lot of really old Taco , and they sure out last the new generation of trucks . Must them are used for hunting and fishing in my northern Ontario area. They have high clearance and very reliable in the bush road

Considering the torque deficit of the Tacoma compared to the Colorado, I was surprised to see the Tacoma hold it's own on the Ike. For me, this shows that these trucks are very capable of towing well up to their maximum ratings under extreme conditions.

@@herbwheeler4470 You are incorrect. This is the Hi-Ouput 310 HP engine, with 430 lb ft of torque, much stronger than this engine in the Tacoma. This is the best you can in a Colorado. Tacoma's best will be the Hybrid Max, with 326 HP, but that doesn't come out for a couple of months.

Yeah like the others said, the Colorado runs 'hot' for whatever reason - I've had mine at the upper end towing a tiny 700lb trailer (probably 1300 total lb). Their scale is 'just different'

Nice video guys. Wonder if the price evens out if you match the accessories in the trucks. Andre bought the Chevy as his own vehicle to a price point (at least in part). My impression is the Toyota is pretty lightly appointed too but still more than the Chevy. Thinking the price gets a bit closer.

Hate that I had to sell my 2017 tacoma with everything I had done to it. Gears, tune, setup for overland. Buuutt towing sucked even when stock. I was only towing 3k but it was terrible. So glad I did not wait to see how this new tacoma worked out. I took almost all the stuff off my taco and traded it for a tundra. Leaps and bounds a better vehicle. Sucks its huge but the added rear room is nice. Glad I can put things behind my seats.

I’m personally a little skeptical of the twin turbo hybrid system. I know that setup is in other vehicles they have but I suppose only time will tell. We bought our 4runner specifically because of the 4L V6 and the track record for reliability. I’d be interested in the new Lexus gx with the twin turbo 6 cylinder.

They will be built to last longer. Less stress and more power.

Can’t wait to see the hybrid numbers.

Fun thing, on the new Tacoma, ANYTIME the brakes are used little brake lights show up at the bottom of the instrument cluster, even with cruise control on.

Given the power difference the Tacoma did extremely well, getting 15% better fuel econ up the hill with fewer brake applications coming down. Usually the larger displacement engine does better on the downhills because there's more displacement for the truck to push against. I suspect the hybrid Tacoma would crush the Colorado both uphill and downhill

@Jay-me7gw

4 ай бұрын

I don’t think the hybrid will help at all going up the hill. The tundra version helped up to 50 mph and the shut off the rest of the climb That said, i test drove a 2023 Colorado zr2 a few weeks ago and it felt really weak to me. Nothing like what a 430 ft-lbs truck should feel like. It had poor low end grunt and felt disappointing compared to my much heavier 2014 F150.

Nice test. A couple of spec differences that matter for towing: Colorado has an extra 300 lb payload capacity rating, and a 3 gallon larger fuel tank.

I love hearing all the taco guys worried about if Toyotas put enough hot sauce on their new trucks 💋

Do you have charts anywhere which outlines all the different times and scores?

Mr. Truck is right about the Tacoma. This truck may be a bit better than the previous model, but there are still many things they came up short on.

This episode should be a hint to consider resale value after 5, 10 and 15 years. You may "save" money upfront on the purchase but repairs. reliability, depreciation (cost of ownership) over time can change everything.

Well a mean a toyota depriciates a lot because you also pay a lot. Theyre often bought new and popular used because theyre affordable. My last honda cost 5000 dollars I probably spent 500 bucks on fixing and maintaining certain things plus gas and insurance cost a couple tires those were like 150 a peice. So if the car cost way more many moons ago you lost a lot of money buying it new and owning it. We sold the same honda for not much less than it cost to own it for 2 3 years.

One intangible that is not considered in this comparison is longevity and reliability. For that we have to rely on history and reputation.

I am interested in purchasing a new Tacoma what about featuring a video with the Toyota safety sense 3 features. Does the blind spot monitor cover the trailer? How does the trailer backup feature work? Does it work as well as Fords backup assist? Do you need to use tow haul for a trailer weighing 1500 lbs? If tow haul is not used on a light weight trailer what is the gas mileage

To prevent gear hunting what does the manual say? Put transmission to S6 or S7?
