Hello Scotty, I love you channel and your right about the V6 in a Tacoma is the way to go I would never get a truck with a 4cyling engine or a full size truck should have a V8 not a V6. I have a Tacoma 4x4 2005 and have been very happy with it I might just put some money into it and keep it going till Toyota brings back the V6.

Finally ppl are saying what ive been saying for months, you can see comments of mine on here from a year ago warning ppl not to buy toyotas because theyre all weak 4cyls now, you gotta count 1 mississippi before you start movinh after hitting the pedal. The seat quality is bad so if you do buy one, do not buy less than an xle PREMIUM, the regular xle awd rav4 destroyed my back. The lumbar support is a rectangle that juts out halfway up your back, and when you put it away it leaves an indent in the seat that your spine will sink into while your driving, it took months for the pain to stop. I hated it so much i traded it less than a week after i paid it off, and put the monry towards another car. I was done, no more payments or stress about owning my vehicle but i just couldny take it, it was slow, they put no tension on the gas tensioner so you speed up extremely slow, plus with only 4 cyls. Theyre also very barebones. Other manufacturers offer much more features for less money. These turbo 4cyls will not last like their old v6 and v8s did. Do not buy a toyota or youll regret it.

I saw other car channels and guys were on Toyota lots and the Tundras were piling up. Truck guys don't want them . They are starting to sit. Don't be surprised if Toyota starts offering a V8 Tundra as an option in a couple of years.

What do you think of the sporty Camry?

Did Scotty just complain about a start button ? 😂 that was just too funny! If it were up to Scotty, we would all be driving around in cars with carburetors.

I was in the market earlier this year for just this truck. However, a long-bed 2023 Tacoma with crew cab 4x4 that are not $5000 over black book are as rare as a blue unicorn. So I changed course and considered the Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Frontier, and Honda Ridgeline. I ruled out the Ridgeline - unibody. I ruled out the Gladiator - reliability worries. That left me with the Frontier and I'm super happy with it. No stupid cylinder deactivation or turbos or hybrid crap in it.

The sensible thing to do Toyota is to make the V6 and 4 wheel drive optional! So much Nonsense!

I know it’s rare but my last highway road trip my LX570 with the 5.7 V8 got 18.6 mpg. Around town it’s 15 so I can understand the hybrid “justification”

our next door neighbor had a regular gas powered 1994 Ford F 150 for more than 25 years granted he's a carpenter by profession so needed the towing capacity for work and it had something like 400,000 miles on the odometer when he replaced it. Toyota are shooting themselves in the foot by taking the V8 and V6 engines out of their vehicles for 4 cylinder full hybrid options even though some of those vehicles have had a V6 option since the late 1980s I.E. Camry for ex first received a V6 for the V20 2nd Gen in 1988 Camry got the earliest version of its current V6 for the 2010 model year

My 2000 Toyota tundra v8 still the beast.

Looking to get myself a Nissan XD

Toyota in Manila. So just took a few rides in some Toyota Vios cars that are the taxis here. One overheated. Driver pulls over pours in a gallon or so of water and then a gallon or so of coolant while the engine is running. 5 minutes and we are back to normal. I ask him how many miles on it. 1.3 million kilometers. The thing is a wreck, rear shocks really shock you when they go over bumps, but the thing keeps running. Original engine. They replace bushings and shocks but the manual is original and engine keeps on ticking. If you have ever been to Manila then stop and go traffic is an understatement. Manila makes LA look like open road driving. I don't know what a Toyota Vios is, maybe a corolla equivalent. The next two Vios cabs I was in both had over 850,000km. Also no problem with engine and transmission. All, well 99%, taxis in Hong Kong are Toyota Comforts, and all taxis in Macau are Toyota Camry. Again, these are NOT highway miles. I am impressed.

The people who OWN this world say...... YOU WILL drive electric period......... Anymore questions.

My V6 Tacoma got totaled in an accident. Other person rear ended me at like 40mph. I took the insurance payout and bought a Camry. I originally got the Tacoma to haul my dirt bikes and kayak. I sold my dirt bikes years ago and don’t use my kayak anymore. So I couldn’t find a good reason to get a truck again. But I was able to find a way to save money on the payment and gas by getting the Camry. 99% of pickup trucks I see on the road don’t haul anything except groceries lol. And I spend a lot of time driving being an OTR trucker. Don’t buy a truck if you don’t do truck stuff unless you like wasting money. Wanting to sit higher isn’t a good reason either. Just get an suv. I’m keeping my Camry until it blows up. Best part was there was zero markup. I got a 2023 with only 8k miles on it, AWD, nightshade edition for 30k OTD. I got my tacoma for 41k with 45k miles on it BEFORE the car market went to crap. Trucks are so overpriced now because everyone thinks they need a truck and dealers are taking full advantage.

Driving my 2007 Taco to my grave. Also got my wife the last Toyota V8, 2023 Lexus GX460.

I got over 30 mpg on my 22 tacoma twice. Normally over 22 to 25. The v6 is great.

I have a 2007 camry 2.4 with stripped head bolts. Is there any reason you couldn't tap out to a m12x1.75, and use grade 12 bolts Allen head in place of the 11 x1.5?

Won't work. Not enough of a step up in size to cut fresh threads

I agree, When I use my truck, power is more important to me than fuel economy. I say, bring back the V8 and V6. I bought the 4 in a new Camry, but I would have preffered the V6. I will not buy a truck with only 4 cylinders.

I owned a 2014 Tacoma 4 cylinder for a couple months, and hated it😂 It wouldve been nice for a town-only truck, but driving that thing on I-80 was horrible. Basically no uphill climb power

I first heard that the Tacoma was going to be redesigned in 24, so I thought I’d wait for the 26 or 27 year model so the bugs could be worked out of the new generation. Then I heard that Toyota was dropping the proven 3.5L Naturally Aspirated (NA) V6, so I started looking for a 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs in either White, Barcelona Red or Lunar Rock. I bought one of the last 23 TRDs in White and had everything I wanted and needed. I’m super happy with my decision. I LOVE my Toyota Tacoma.

Scotty Kilmer what do you think about the new 2025 Nissan Frontier keeping their 3.8 V6 engine but adding a turbo?

Yeah i just got a lexus rx350 with the 3.5 v6. It feels just enough for the car. And now since 2023 they aee offering 2.5 with turbo on same car. This car is heavy and the v6 makes a huge difference.

Scott you are so right. Some people cannot still figure out why they need Cat Tractors to plow highways instead of sit-down snow blowers for driveways. LOL !! I think when that happens they should put those who make those decisions when they cut back. They should be given one of those sit-down snow blowers on the highway snow plowing. LOL !! Nah, maybe not you already have some of those great examples like the one riding the motorcyle. LOL !!

@scottyklimer 7:36 Tacomas do not get 30 miles per gallon around town or on the highway. You might get 19-21 if your lucky. 30 is a pipe dream.

This is true, doesn't matter if it's a 4 cylinder or v6.

I get 19 miles to the gallon on my 5.7 v8. They didn’t help anything.

My 4.7’s get about the same.

My Tacoma is a 2020. Great truck V-6. TRD. 23 MPG.

SCOTTY! I’m not sure in which of your videos you posted about dealers and tire shops replacing all 4 tires after one blows out because of a different diameter for a new tire, but there are shops that specialize in tire shaving a new tire to the old tire diameter. I already knew about this but Consumer Reports has a good article about it and tells exactly how to do it! There are limits but you might be able to buy one new tire and get it shaved for $25 bucks! Also, when you think about it, one big pothole could knock an AWD vehicle out of alignment and wear one front tire a lot more than the other. With your cars and trucks you could check this out yourself and maybe save people thousands of dollars!

Brilliant Scottie👋👍!!

I want a V8 in my Tundra and a 6 in my Tacoma!!!!

If you got that tire warranty and you get 1 tire messed up. Put a nail/screw in the other 3, then they'd have to replace all 4

How about making the Tacoma smaller again instead of super-sizing the once great and smaller pickup?

That new Hilux or whatever they are going to call it might be a good short hauler. I would wait & check it out when it gets to our fair continent. They hopefully are at least a Hybrid and not an EV. Dear Lord!

Loyal 30+ year Toyota buyer here. Just bought a 2024 Nissan pro4x , mainly due to the lack of the V6.

I just picked up a '21 TRD sport. Coating the bottom with Fluid Film hoping it's going to last forever.

I always was did felt like there was something off with toyata but then again I 'm a Nissan fellow so I might have a bias against them

Scotty's alive???? I thought he passed! Omg I'm so happy to see this vid

Hey Scotty. Got a question for you. Is it safe turning off AC when turning off the vehicle? Got a 24’ tundra. Or does it even matter or make a difference?

Ive never owned a Tacoma/Runner because the prices even used have been insane. Ive had good luck with 90's gm 5.7 trucks. An old suburban & a 3rd gen clean frame tacoma/4runner is the dream!

01:42 pull heavy trailers. My God Scotty, you are amazingly hysterical

Should I keep my made in Japan 2008 Highlander Hybrid ?

Hey Scotty could you do a video reviewing on the Nissan Pro4X since they are currently out selling the Tacoma by a ton for the first time in their history.
