I bought a 2021 Tacoma SR5 4 door V6 with the 6 foot bed. The first thing I noticed about the truck was the ride quality. It rides smooth as silk, no road noise...a really comfortable truck. It has all the bells and whistles on it (that I actually want), and it will tow a boat or a small camper trailer with no problem. I am now 63 years old, and I doubt seriously that I will ever have to buy another truck.

I had one like this instead mine came with the TRD Off Road package. I know actually what Scotty was talking about when he said how the gears kept switching. Once you start using the truck long enough, you will know how to fix that issue easily. The gears switching occur more when you uphill because it requires more power. What I did was I switch it to sport mode and leave it in 3rd gear or 4th gear depending on how fast I am going. This avoids the gears to switch back and forth. The only reason I sold my truck was because I needed a bigger truck to tow my trailer. Other then that, it was the best off road truck I've ever driven.

Great little review Scotty. Thanks! BTW, 3rd generation "gear hunting" can be eliminated with a performance tune. Had the OTT performance tune done on our TRD Off Road 4x4 V6 automatic a couple of weeks ago and it shifts perfectly, not to mention immediately improved throttle response and even better acceleration when ECT is engaged. No effect on mileage either. Best money I've ever spent. Now it runs the way it should have from the factory. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

So that means it likes to upshift earlier than folks might expect. Another huge benefit is low RPMs keep the engine running for many years. Less stress.

I got a 2020 V6 double cab off-road back in March 2020 and got a great deal on it. Absolutely love the truck.

Considering I do 95% driving on the street I should have probably got the TRD 4x4 sport model but instead I went with the TRD 4x4 off-road model I don't know if there's a whole lot of difference but I kind of like the plastic around the fenders & the bumper rather than everything being painted. But being tuned more for the street probably would have been better. The off-road has that locking rear diff which is hella nice, but I don't think I'd ever go off-road enough to where I would need it the 🌮's are so good off road I think just having 4-wheel drive you can get almost anywhere even in stock form for the average person camping, hunting & shooting things like that... Not going out to purposely Rock crawl or mud bog...

I have a 2020 TRD Off-Road 4x4. Everything said about the transmission is absolutely valid. Me personally I do like the tighter transmission feel, so it does annoy me, however the good outweighs the bad overall. Yes it is outdated compared to other vehicles currently. But, is that always a bad thing? The current tech in the Tacoma is proven and it will last a long time. It is not your typical futuristic truck loaded with tech and there is a very certain market for a Tacoma. Update: still have my Tacoma and I love it! The transmission improves over time as you drive it so I’m very happy to say it’s way better! In love with this truck and very happy with it.

I have a 2019 TRD sport around 29k miles and I have consistently seen 25 mpg on the highway driving anywhere from 65-75 mph. Only complaints with this vehicle is the paint quality and I had a ball joint/control arm replacement under warranty (assembled in Mexico just like this one)

Yeah the paint quality is so bad, I was honestly horrified. I think most colors it's still a single stage paint, meaning they mix the clear in with the paint vs adding additional layers of clear. But whatever, years down the road I'll probably do a respray

I’d really like a new V6 Tacoma but in a stripped down, no frills version. Think 1975 Hilux guise with 5 speed overdrive stick tranny, fuel injection and electronic ignition for reliability. Leave out all the other computers.

It’s funny how little the Taco has changed from my 03 tundra besides the obvious things like a 4.7 v8 and the 15ish mpg. The fan almost look identical.

I had the ‘03 Tundra with the 4.7 engine also and the crappy gas mileage but loved the truck and the power. Friday the 13th of September 2019 changed all of that at a street light when a full sized work van pulled out in front of me and I plowed into the right front of the van at 45mph. Totaled both vehicles but the Tundra still started afterwards. All 4 doors still opened fully without any binding. Bought a 2019 Tacoma 3.5 Sport as a replacement. Other than lack of power compared to the Tundra, I love the gas mileage. I get anywhere from 17-26 depending on the terrain and traffic. Not a bad trade off in my opinion. Toyotas are built to keep you safe.

I bought a Toyota 4 cly, standard shift, 4 wheel drive back in 1983. Loved that truck. Great gas mileage. It was a small LIGHT WEIGHT truck. Prefect. I towed a small pop-up camper (Apache ?) all over the west and down the west coast. Paralleled parked (with the camper in tow) on a San Francisco street. What a great truck. My friends liked it (sexy design compared to U.S. designs.). Shinny black. My 6 foot friend bought one, and it was fun watching him get in/out of the truck. Never had a problem except a frozen emergency brake (I discovered in San Francisco) because I never used it before..... The truck bed rusted out because I think it was an aftermarket put on after it was shipped here, to avoid import duty taxes that Reagan imposed on Toyota and Honda.

I absolutely love my 2020 Tacoma. Only regret is not getting the 4x4 version. But with today's prices, there's no way I'm gonna sell and try to buy another one. Gonna keep this for a very long time and maybe just update to thicker tires.

They are put together in Mexico just like they’re put together in USA , is not Mexico’s fault that Toyota wants to save money, but they can also pay more to Mexico’s Toyota manufacturers to have a top of the line quality control. My 2022 Tacoma is made in Mexico and is like it was made in Japan . Plus you still have the great Toyota service/warranty right?

I have a 2017 Tacoma with the V6 (same generation). It is true you can beat the EPA highway estimates in that 50-65 range. However it quickly drops of when you go faster. Our interstates in my state are 80mph and going 85 I get around 12 and going 80 just 14. However when sticking to two lane highways with reduced speed limits I've seen as high as 26.

I have an ‘18 Taco and he’s so right about the automatic tranny. I couldn’t find one with a standard so I settled and it’s extremely slow with shifts. I drive mine in manual most of the time but especially when I’m towing something. If you care about shifting absolutely go with a standard like the man says!

Push the ECT button. That will let it rev more and will tighten up the shifts. The trans is geared towards good mileage which is why it shifts like it does. The ECT button will give you what your lookin for but at the cost of more pain at the pump

My 2017 shifts like that still with 82000 miles. Would you recommend a transmission drain and fill? Don't think it was changed prior. You were the reason I bought my tacoma, plus love how the 3rd gen looks lol.

I have the exact same truck! 2020 TRD Sport but in Barcelona Red. That electric blue is HOT! Super solid truck. I was surprised with the gas mileage. From where I bought it (Temple, TX) at my parents place driving back to Orlando, FL (where I live), I filled up 3.5 times and did about 75mph the whole way. I was expecting to have to stop double that! I can’t wait to pass this thing down either to my kids or nephews when they’re ready for a vehicle!

Just joined the Taco 🌮 family 22 TRD Sport and love it

Imagine buying a car with Scotty and he starts talking to you like if he’s making a KZread video 😂

I recommend the overland tailor tuning package 🔥shifting patterns are much smoother and no more lagging gas pedal👍

hello and thanks you too!

I rented a 4Runner for a week in FL, it wasnt the 4x4. When I first started driving it, it felt sorta clunky...by the end of the end of the week, I really fell in love with the build quality and reliability of the Toyota. It just felt super solid, like you could throw whatever at it. And it'll just keep chugging along. I'm really interested in the new Tundra's and the upcoming Sequoia's. Would love to test drive the I-Force vs the I-Force Max. Though even the regular I-Force seems like it should have enough power, and seems poised for a great tuner market...I have a feeling that'll be the one to get, and with a good custom tune, and some upgrades it'll be a beast, without the added complexity of the hybrid system and batteries.

It's mostly just that some people go crazy with them or modify them, which is what can bring early death if done improperly.
