The rear headrests tilt for better drivers view without needing to remove them !

Love this video! Funny and informative. Tommy has become a natural on camera. Daddy Roman must be so proud 😁😁😁

I purchased a 2021 Manual Tacoma TRD Off-Road after selling my 2012 Manual Tacoma TRD Off-Road and the RSCA(Roll Sensing Side Curtain Airbag select button to disengage when off if no longer on the truck. Do you know why my new truck does not have it and I noticed from a Toyota press release this feature would be on the 4th Gen Tacoma 4x4 models. Did Toyota remove it for the entire 3rd Gen year groups?

About to purchase that truck in blue, lift and all, but with a manual. The trd pro videos y’all did helped me to pull the trigger. Thanks!

Love the videos, but just a heads up on the gas cap the little metal thing on the door is where the cap is stored. That bend in the plastic leash is there to let you extend the cap enough to put the plastic leash into the metal clip on the door. Also on the back seat, if you pull the headrests out there are the plastic grommets on the top on the folded forward seat bottoms. You put the removed headrests in those grommets, and the seats will fold 100% flat. I'm sure you knew that, bit just tossing it out there. Keep up the good work guys.

You can hook the gas cap cord to the little clip that clips the door in. The rear headrests come out and slide into the hole provided on the now flipped down rear cushions. Now the back test folds down flush.

I just got my Tacoma and same color a week ago.. love it so far!! 🙌

If you pull the divider out of the front cup holders you will have MORE space for larger cups and if you pull the headrest off the back seats and put them in the storage bins behind the seats they will lay COMPLETELY flat. Hope the help ls Tommy! -Justin (Owner of a magnetic gray TRD off-road Tocoma)

I just got my TRD Off Road with a manual transmission two months ago. You should try your Snarf's test which you haven't done in a while. I did it on mine just for kiks and it did it!! It showed me how to get from San Diego CA to Snarf's in Colorado.

Total geek out. Most of these items have been with the truck since the 2005 launch!

Cherish those dinner with grandma! Mine were taken way too soon. Also- just picked up my Tacoma, learned from this video. Cheers.

you can remove the divider in the front cupholders, can you not? My 2016 tacoma had that Also the gas cap can fit in the fuel door latch almost too well..

You can hang the gas cap on the thingymajig by using the plastic wire into the inserts that snaps back in the body also you can remove the plastic inserts in your two front cup holders to fit a coffee mug or slightly bigger drinks, and lastly you want to take the head rest out if you want to completely fold the seats. But I'm guessing you knew all of this and forced us into commenting about it 😆.

You should check the owners manual on folding down the back seats to make it flat. The headrests must come off first. There’s even a holder for them.

I liked this quick and snappy video

I very much enjoyed this video..

I laughed so hard when he said cup holders made by communist 😂😂😂

My favorite features of my Tacoma TRD OR are Cell Phone Heater & the Jellyfish Launcher!!!

The only thing this review was missing was the Carwow Stick of Truth™️

That is so funny. On multiple occasions I've put my Tacoma into four-wheel drive when I'm trying to adjust the fan speed. So dumb those knobs are so close and feel so similar.

I have a 2018 TRD Off Road... I am totally jelly of that camera system... the fuel cap has a clip to hang from, though many people prefer an aftermarket adapter (come on Toyota... my 2000 Ford Ranger had a better gas cap holder than you)... the center clip in the cup holder is removable allowing for even larger bottles to fit... I have a nalgene knock off and it fits just fine even with the clip in place, but it MIGHT be sized slightly different. Critique on the video... the silliness with the peanut butter and such detracts from the quality of the video as a review and feature demo.

That's not how the rear seat backs fold down. The headrests come out and insert into holes in the seat bottoms. I'm not sure what you were trying to do Tommy.

toyota recently offered a lift kit that will not void warranty, unfortunately it requires for them to take off fog lights, not sure why. Must be an issue with the fog lights being too high off the ground can be a safety hazard(only thing i could think of) and also why the lifted TRD Pro has a fog lights that are cut in half basically you can fold the back seats fully flat when you take off the head rests, where you put them in their dedicated holes on top of the bottom seat the little hanger that clicks in for the fuel door can be used to can the gas cap also a cool feature new for ‘20 the black plastic cap in the back of the bed which you can see above the the power outlet/storage cubby are additional bed lights and are on both sides. you can buy them off amazon or a dealer if not equipped from factory

Interesting that it’s spec’d with the premium package and all the TRD goodies, but not LED headlights and fog lights. Makes the front end look much better. Otherwise very entertaining quick review Tommy!

Please test 2021 Toyota 4Runner Limited off road.

What's weird is that usually that grill and skid plate only come on the Pro Model. Then USUALLY the only Tacoma that might not come with fog lights is the SR model. Then the gas cap actually hooks on the lid. So maybe 2021 they threw in a few different options than what I saw last time I looked, of I just didn't see the off roads with the grill etc and no fog lights. Had a 16 3rd gen tacoma and I've got a 21 3rd gen tacoma now.

Thank you tommy

I wonder if the driver's side bed cubby can be added back. The parts should be available from Toyota, so if you cut a hole and installed them....

2:17 u had me dieing 😄🤣

I have a 2020 TRD PRO. I love it. My quirks are foremost, the cupholders. They do not hold larger drinks like 1 liter soda's. Other people mentioned how to store the gas cap and rear seat headrests for folding. Things I would wish were changed. The off road features. Should be able to lock the rear diff in 4 high as well as use terrain select. Even if you limited it to a certain speeds like 40-50. A front locker option would be nice as well. Not too many people would really need it. But some would and expensive to add aftermarket and then possible warranty issues as it is not factory. I love the ride and handling is decent (for a truck), Fox suspension is amazing for a factory truck. You hit a bump or speed bump and it just takes it and settles right back. No bounce or jarring. never had a vehicle that handled bumps so well. The stereo is ok. Have to turn the bass up quite a bit for the subwoofer to come into play. I had a Jeep Gladiator before this and the Alpine system in that was far superior. As well as the transmission. It had the 8 speed that was AMAZING! Both motors are about same size and power. But the 8 speed auto in the Gladiator made so much better use of the power. But I won't get into the issues I had with the Gladiator, this is about the Tacoma. The Taco seems so much roomier inside. It just feels like a quality made vehicle. It is a extra vehicle for me that I do not drive daily. But I think it would be very good for that. The main downside may be economy. As it is a bit of a gas hog. That is not an issue for me as I do not drive it daily. But if you had much of a commute, it could add up. But then you probably wouldn't be looking at 4wd trucks. But anyways, it is a well made vehicle with only a few quirks. I think it is the best looking truck in the midsize segment. And it's resale value is quite a bonus down the road. People will always want them even heavily used. Can't go wrong imho!

Front locker would be nice, but they are looking at it from the perspective of how many people would do stupid things like turn on dry pavement while locked, then swear up and down the axles broke under normal use on a straight stretch of loose gravel. I will be shocked if we ever see a front locker from the factory on an IFS of any brand. they can function, but they can not handle abuse. Likewise the 4lo limitation of the locker was likely to keep people from misusing them on pavement. Though in truth, in most situations where a locker is of value, you should already be in low range.

Also you can put the gas cap in the latch prong on the door to hold it!

The fuel door actually can hold the gas cap. It’s that little clamp on the backside of the fuel door and you pull the cap cord through.

That big bottle fits fine in the 4runner😆

the leash on the fuel cap fits nicely inside of the lock mechanism on the door
