As a truck guy who’s often in the backwoods of Colorado and Utah, I’ve got to go with reliability which is why I chose the Tacoma above it’s competition.

I almost bought a new Tacoma trd pro but was very disappointed in the expensive pro package that was mostly an appearance package with nice shocks, I have owned three Toyota trucks.. they all have been relatively reliable but surprisingly not as reliable as my old 1993 f-250, just my experience, I had to replace my front ends on my Toyota trucks every year or 1.5 years… and head gaskets a few times in every truck… that’s not reliable… Dont be biased , it keeps the company accepting mediocrity…and not improving.. this pro. Here has very limited front wheel travel, no option for lower gears, no option for larger tires, a weak composite box that breaks… this is common knowledge amongst dirt bikers that use their trucks to haul bikes.. watch dirt lifestyle..

​@@vincefairleigh6899are you kidding? Sounds like you are biased. Gaskets leak doesn't mean it's unreliable. Also changing front end every 1.5 years? Get out of here. Sounds like you are making stuff up. Also ford's are absolute garbage. They are the most recalled trucks of all the manufacturers! Mainly engine problems. 😅

Tacomas may not have the best fancy up to date gadgets but they will outlast any competitors out there. I’ll take the simple boring slow turtle 🐢 Tacoma over any fast rabbit 🐇 competitors out there. See you at the finish line. 😂

OTT tune and magnusen super Charger and it's not so slow anymore. And still reliable. 😅 toyotas are the best built vehicles.

I get it's an old design but for $48K you get a vehicle that lasts forever

I agree the Tacoma infotainment system needs a serious upgrade. I still went with a new Tacoma last year because I simply need a truck that is rugged, reliable and will last a long time. Love it so far.

What do you need dude? A driving tablet? Everybody that wants all these new fancy gadgets all the time. Becoming more and more or less reliable.... Toyota Tacoma still for the win over the competition all day.

Can't go wrong with the tacoma. Old school Simple trucks and NO STOP START is worth buying it alone.

Old school is the best school

I have an Army Green 2020 Tacoma TRD pro. There simply isn’t anything out there, that in my mind, would give me the same “worry free” ownership that this truck gives me. Not the most expensive, not the quickest, not the flashiest, not an iPhone on wheels, but just enough to be useful for everyday life.

I would still take a Tacoma over any of the others brands simply on reliability and dependability. Technological advancement is not important in my opinion. GM, Ford and Stillantis reliability and dependability is in the toilet.

You know what’s wrong ? People are being sold by big fancy screens and all the tech you don’t need and forget about reliability. That Tacoma has a 6 bolt main motor which is the 2GR-FKS , which in the Lotus sports car that puts out around 5-600 HP, very robust motor to say the least, add a big 8.75 inch rear ring gear to that as well, with big axles, large spindles , and hubs that are directly from Hilux AND the transfer case plus the trans are also shared with the unbreakable Hilux. I don’t want to do 0-60 in 4 seconds in my Tacoma I just want RELIABILITY, DEPENDABILITY, I wanna be able to go anywhere I want and come back home EVERY time , even when my ODO has over 300,000 miles now that my friend is why I bought a Gen3 Tacoma and absolutely LOVE it , wouldn’t trade it for any other truck on the market . I have 30,000 miles on my 21 TRD ORDC 4x4 right now . 270,000 miles to go!!!

All these tacoma buyers expecting it to be the perfect truck each truck has it flaws.

I just bought a base, really enjoying it. Gotta say it is constantly being more than I expected.

Bought a 22 Tacoma sr access cab 4x4 trusted 2.7 motor, sluggish transmission, but I knew this going in. I didn't buy a race truck I bought a practical truck will run for a long time with minimal problems! A proven track record with this setup! 4x4 will be great with the nasty winters we get in the extreme northeast. Love mine as well! Simple truck for a simple man! Base model is all you need!!!!

I have a 21 Trd Off Road. It’s a great truck. Feels like it will last over 300k miles. Yes the back seat is small. But I rarely use it. I wish it was a little bigger & had the Ridgeline design folding rear seats. The V6 & 6 speed auto works fine. Although I’d prefer a the a 4cyl Turbo & Hybrid setup with 8-10 speed auto for more Mpg & Torque. Dream of a Turbo Diesel. A small complaint, I wish the tailgate had flat areas to sit things when lowered. The hood is super heavy. Should’ve been aluminum. I think Tacoma’s are the most Reliable, followed by the Frontier, Ranger, Colorado/Canyon, in that order.

Buy a Tacoma for 48k. Drive it for two years and sell it for 46k. Can’t beat that .

Go look at the 3.6L Colorado timing chain it’s a JOKE , it’s the same size as my bicycle , the 3.5L Tacomas timing chain is 3X bigger than the Colorado’s, Here’s my list in order of which truck is best 1. TACOMA 2. “ “ 3. “ “ 4.” “ 5. “ “

I use a truck for work. I have simple needs. It needs to heat in the winter, is inexpensive, not snap in half on remote roads, and last roughly 400,000kms. 50/50 pavement. Ive had 4 ford’s in a row that have done it, including 3 3.5’s and current is a 5.0 (which is doing the best out of the 4) I’ve ordered a tacoma and I hope it isn’t a regret.

Part of the reason I chose a tacoma was it’s basic interior and the small touchscreen

I don't know where this guy got these concepts from. I've had a tacoma for years and it works like a clock. Toyota's philosophy is practicality reliability and dependability these trucks were originally designed for durability if some folks out there looking for fancy gauges they could go with Lexus or other luxury trim levels in terms of comfortable very comfortable as a pick up truck it gets the job done more than expected. in the end I would pick any Toyota product over any Ford or Chevy etc

How is the front seat comfort?

We have a Magnetic Gray Metallic 2022 SR5 Tacoma RWD with the technology package, predator steps, tinted windows, Toyoguard platinum + 100k extended warranty, Tacoma rubber mats, and mud guards(Amazon) at $42k in late June. I was leaning towards a pro or OR but they were asking $48k-$50k but I live in flat land unless I travel 4-5 hours inland.

Aren’t there two more ports in the middle compartment?

Awesome electric lime! Just ordered TRD sport in blue crush....MT...all options...smell the leather?

Dude you completed an Ironman and got GIRL tattoo,,, huge accomplishment you should have gotten a tattoo you can see from outer space

Do you think the Ranger is underrated especially in fx4 or tremor trim. Watch many vidd, stock and modified go against the Toyota and was on par on offroadiness however the Ranger destroys the Tacoma in straightline performance

75,000 22 and 23 Models assembled in Mexico recalled due to bad welds for child seat anchors. I have the 21 TRD Pro thankfully. Assembled in Texas.

Key rival..Ranger, Frontier, GM twins..the Gladiator is kinda in there but really its a jeep with a bed..no other trucks have the ability to take the roof and doors off.

The less of tech the better reliability. All those screens are nice until they start breaking down.

I love that color dude

I like my 2022 Tacoma , but remember , it's only a Pickup Truck .... it's not a Benz ....

None of the trucks you listed would make my list. There are only three trucks made that I would consider, depending on the size, For small trucks it would be a Ford Mavrick, Mid-sized the Honda Ridgline, and full-sized the Toyota Tundra.

Lmao and that's toyota tacomas top of the line trim. Wrmeak sauce is right. Which is why I went basic with a trd sport access cab 6 foot bed..even more basic but I love it.. the sport is so smooth on the road...which is what sold me on the truck

I'am 6'2" I went to test drive one of these and even with the power seat in the lowest position I was forced to look through the upper 20% of the windshield and interior rearview mirror location blocked my forward view as well. It was a deal breaker for me, if you do not have a comfortable driving position you won't be happy with any vehicle.

Awesome color,eye popping....

48k? In the dealership the price is 60k

I have a 2020 trd off road that I bought to replace a 1999 Tacoma. Overall, very happy with the truck but the plastics are a bit much. That’s my only gripe. It’s done all I’ve asked of it whether on or off road, and if I work at it really hard, I can get 21-23 mpg. A good little rig.

Toyota Tacoma is a Relic from the cold war

Negative: They last forever. There you go. You can’t go to wife and tell her you need a new truck.

Automotive journalists opinions are almost the same. Everything else over the Tacoma because of power, technology, mpgs, etc. These are first impressions and short term reviews not long term ownership. Consumers want reliability and durability.

You dont know why sales down? Because so many demands but not enough supply. If you own that Tacoma Pro on this video, why did you buy it if you have so many negative comments about it? There are so many options to choose. Again, why did you choose Tacoma?

Nothing wrong with Tacoma. I love it the way it is.

Nice, but it's all about longevity after a few years!

They should start making the hood out of aluminum.

I agree. It is too expensive for what you get in a TRD PRO. I bought a 2022 TACOMA TRD OFF ROAD. Toyota should be ashamed of itself. I have to take it for a tune (OTT). Because the way Toyota had for sale was very bad. Transmission( Gear Hunting) Engine( Sluggish). After the tune it is very beautiful.

I love this colour , i just wish it came factory with a more powerful motor that was more efficient like the competition… Toyota needs to go back to the drawing board with the limited front suspension , at least make it as good as the bronco front suspension, the trd pro probably has half the wheel travel and the small tires on the pro must go along with the highway gears… to modify this slightly would get extremely expensive to be on par with a Jeep gladiator… do some research on that before falling back on the perception that Toyota is reliable… it’s not anymore, I have owned three Toyotas and loyal to no brands, the way we all should be, if we were we would have better vehicles.

I prefer analog Gages brother

Overpriced? Definitely, but let's be honest. If you need a daily car which can take some stuff, looks nice, is reliable, comfortable and has not bad gas consumption then why not to take the basic one? My 2008 Taco is in Access Cab and that's it. Everything is basic as possible. Poor package works good. Sure, I miss only cruise control but I can live with it or add in the future. Pickup trucks are the best if you want to modificate it the way you want and I think this is the essence of these cars. Basic as possible > full package

To be fair..its been put since 2016 so overall its getting a bit long in the tooth. Rumor has it 2024 will be the 4th Gen so we will soon see.

Just traded a '20 Tacoma TRD Off Road for a 21 Galdiator. My main beefs with the Tacoma were a terrible driving position, terrible handling, too-touchy brakes, and the fact that the thing couldnt handle even a slightly larger wheel/ tire combo without rubbing everywhere. The Gladiator on 35 inch tires handles like a sports car compared to the Taco. Never thought a Jeep would out handle ANYTHING.

toyota is like apple with their iphones, they keep you wanting more, and also give you the least, but you love it. Plain and simple, that's the way toyota has been since day one, love it or hate it. Everyone else is like android, they offer you the most, yet you least desire it. Bottom end, the more tech you got, the more you'll pay to repair, so thank you toyota!!

Can I get a single dimm radio instead of a crappy touch screen

All auto sales are down because of the chip shortage.

I love Tacomas but is time for an interior update. They look outdated on the inside.

My 2019 Tacoma will not start. Lights are fine, battery is fine, will not start. Principle Toyota, Memphis TN, is trying to tell me it's the (KEY FOB). This doesn't pass the smell test for me. Anyway, now I'm driving my 1986 Chevy square body, until I get some solution. Someone explain to me how my (KEY FOB) prevents the truck from cranking when I push the start button. I'm not believing this shite.

Sales are down cause you can't find any

If you opened the console, you'd find a USB and a lightning charger. Compare the top-end Colorado with the TRD PRO Tacoma off-road and then let me know what you think. Also compare reliability ratings with all other brands. Otherwise, agree with your analysis. 2023 will address many of the downsides.

A man and woman want their own truck to do projects when wife or husband is not around the house and show your kids how it’s done and have that Tacoma ready for them when we are ready for a new Tacoma or Tundra. It looks like 2023 might be the last year of the 3rd generation Tacoma unless they keep it and expand to a i4 and V6 Turbocharged engines and a Hybrid Tacoma like the 2021 Toyota Sienna which is not bad if you think about it.

Let’s see if all these fan ladies will take this overpriced truck when toyota releases the new gen with all the same features as the competitors. 😂😂😂😂

Stupidest transmission on earth, the shifter abd the hand brake should be swapled with the shifter closer to driver than passenger, stupid transmission, can't take bugger tires without a Lot of work, stupid transmission, no low end torque, a worse radio and speaker system than 1980 Hyundai- embarrassingly poor sound quality, wimpy payload, leaky bed system, sucky transmission- or rather they have programmed the transmission to shift down to low if a fly hits the windshield.
