the more I see reviews of gen 4 Tacomas, the more I'm glad I bought my 2023 gen 3.

Agree. When I first bought my 3rd gen I thought it was way too much technology but now seeing all the new cars and what they’re doing with them the 3rd gen seems like it’s going to be the last simple Tacoma

I like that Terra Pro T4R in the background

Thanks for making this. I’ve been considering finally letting my 99 4Runner go for a new midsize truck but initially wrote the Tacoma off as I only wanted a TRD off road which starts at almost $45k. These really don’t look like too much of a compromise for a base model and for the price I’d seriously think about getting an SR and adding some aftermarket off road stuff at my own pace.

Bryan, Thanks for the detailed overview. I hope Toyota's decision to produce a new generation of Tacomas with a manual is a harbinger of a manual 4Runner. 🤞🤞

Great review. Thank you so much. I have been a Tacoma driver since 2005. I've owned 4, and currently with my 23 Off Road Access Cab. First auto though. I can't get behind the turbo, and I don't like the rear of the truck. Also, I always get access cabs, so outside of the 4 runner, which is only 2 wheel drive, I can't get it anymore. Will see what transpires over the next couple years with these. The pricing is crazy here in Canada. Absolutely insane. Cheers.

Yup. It's been on the road for weeks from Mexico to NC.

It's nice to see the side by side view. I have to say that I'm happy with my 2022 Tacoma SR5 V6 4DR A/T 2WD in Barcelona red, it's great and built like a tank & I love it. My engine purrs, gas milage is fine (great gas prices Go Biden!) only 9000 miles on it, it's easy to maintain and the tire size is 16 (inexpensive to replace tires). I'm curious to see the new Toyota Stout (I hope the engine size doesn't get any smaller than 4 cylinders, I remember VW used to make a 5 cylinder engine that would be a great option too if there was such a thing made by Toyota), not that I'll buy one, I just want to see it. If I was going to buy one I'd get at the 2024 Tacoma SR 4DR A/T (no hybrid) b/c it's all the truck you need at a reasonable price. Thanks for the video. #PeaceLoveAndKisses ✌🏼❤💋 🛻 🌵🌵🛻🌵🌵🛻 🌵🌵 🛻

In 18 years of ownership and service the dash on my 06 pickup has 'never' been as dirty as that new 24 (laughing)...

I really like this one and built ur self lifted and replace grills make like TRD pro ✅✅ for less Manuel trans 4door 😊

With the SR having the leaf spring suspension, how does that impact the towing and payload capacity? I just ordered one and the dealer has yet to have on the lot and Toyota for whatever reason hasn’t provided specific specifications on the SR 4x4 manual transmission models. What’s the door sticker on this say?
