I'm not sure if Toyota is still the best but I have a 23 SR5 with a TRD package and a 6-ft bed. I have no wind noise, no rattles and love the truck way more then my previous 2007 tundra. I do a lot of towing and so far the motor seems fine. Time will tell. Every new vehicle is plastic on the inside and are over engineered and over priced. I have a free lifetime/ unlimited mileage powertrain warranty which Toyota needs to give every Tundra owner.
Your vehicle is not an investment. I remember when the 3 gen Tacomas came out and everyone complained about have it shifted and lack of power. Toyota has always taken care of its customers more so than other brands. If you want to talk about engine recalls you should have walked over to the Hyundai dealer.
Picked up a 2024 4Runner Limited today… Almost went Trailhunter but I’m happy with the 4Runner knowing it’ll last as long as I need it to and give the new stuff plenty of time to mature and let them iron those kinks out.
Keeping my 2023 trail edition till the wheels fall off. love this truck!
If Toyota would go back to manufacturing their products in Japan instead of Mexico I’m sure their quality would improve. Toyota is paying the Mexicans $100 per month to build their vehicles. You get what you pay for. A lot of the workers don’t know how to read or only have a 6th grade education.
so what about the 3rd gen tacoma's that were made in mexico, are those lemons too?
@@YoitsDro The entire truck wasn’t manufactured in Mexico. Only certain parts of them were. But for 24, the entire truck is manufactured in Mexico. The American SLAVES (Taxpayers) are now supporting more than 10 Million people from Mexico here in the USA, so why would Anyone want to support them in their country too?
WOW 😳, Toyota refuses to buy back their Trucks ? In other words AVOID the new Generations of Toyota pickups at ALL COSTS !!! I’m Soooo Glad that I bought my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. I was going to wait until 26-28 to buy the redesigned Tacoma until I found out that Toyota was dropping the proven, reliable and durable 3.5L Naturally Aspirated (NA) V6. I only drive 6-8K miles per year and at my age, I’m sure I’ll be driving my 23 TRD until I die. Then I know my wife will continue using it to plow our 5-7 feet of winter snow off our private road and driveway until her death. It took us about 15 years to save up enough money to pay cash for my TRD, but it’s our opinion that it was money well spent. With the skyrocketing costs of buying a new vehicle continuously rising, I’m sure in 10 years it’ll cost $100K for a SR Tacoma 4WD. Our (my) truck was a left over 23. We bought it on 2/29/24. For some reason no one wanted the 6’ bed and we needed it as we use our truck for work around our property. Personally I think the Long Bed looks more balanced than the 5’ bed, but that’s just me. The way Toyota is going, I’d be afraid to buy a Turbo model and if an automaker doesn’t trust its own vehicle to buy it back then something is Majorly wrong. I’d shy away from Toyota for now. I heard that Toyota is getting ready to Recall the new Tacoma’s because of transmission failure, both manual and automatic transmissions. Once again, I’m glad I was able to find my 23. The dealership took almost $5K off of the MSRP, gave me a Tri-fold tonneau cover, running boards, an 8 year 75K mile bumper to bumper extended warranty, free lifetime oil and filter changes and tire rotation. Town Toyota in East Wenatchee, WA are Great to work with and they’ve treated us fairly.
$70K for that with cheap black door handles and cloth interior? I’m sure it has the turbo as well.
Okay I think I heard something very foolish you said that this guy had problems with the shutter on his Tacoma so he sold the truck, so he goes by another one after having problems with his oh boy that makes no sense it's actually pretty scary why would you make the same mistake twice? I would have sold the truck right straight to Honda and grab the Ridgeline no shaking no rattling lots of power it writes Beautiful very reliable can the fit and finish is way better when you go in you're not looking at a plastic Dash it's all soft soft touch materials so after a few years it doesn't rattle like the cheap plastic does. I just don't understand some people's thinking!!!
Mild around town and medium on the interstate is perfect for me.
How about the '24 Tacoma hybrid versions are on no lots as we hit July? Wow.....
Sadly No ... These are so far from the 3rd gen Tacomas
I agree. I’m Sooo thankful that I bought my 23 TRD Off Road. I’ll drive that truck until I die.
@@Doc1855 I’m with you , love my 2021 Trd pro never giving it up
@@spencerjones7775 If people were a maintenance nut like I am, they’d easily hit the 1/2 million mile mark with their 3rd generation Tacoma’s. I bought a 78 Corolla in 83 for my college car. It was a Bare Bones Corolla. Vinyl seats and vinyl flooring. 4cyl, 4spd manual transmission, White with tan interior, 2dr. It had 70K miles on it when I bought it. I promptly changed the transmission and rear end grease and continued to do so every 30K miles. Back then conventional oil was all that was available. I changed the oil and filter every 3K miles with Valvoline. After Grad School I had a LOT of student loans, so I kept driving my Corolla. After my loans were paid off I wanted to buy a house, so I started saving money and since my Corolla was paid for, I kept driving it. After I bought my first house I decided to see how long the Corolla would last. At around 350K miles the rear end started howling, so I removed the rear seat and stuffed underneath and behind with very dense foam and replaced the seat. At around 400K miles the drivers seat was long overdue, so I got an old Los Angeles phone book and put it inside the worn out springs. I then used the same dense foam over the phone book, a pillow on top of the foam and bought a set of front bucket seat covers. The vinyl on the floor was worn down past the White paint and to the shiny metal surface, so I bought front floor mats. It finally died in 02 with 488K miles. It was burning a couple of quarts of “Honey” Oil between changes. The rear end was howling through the foam under the rear seat. I’m sure those gears were so sharp that I could have shaved my face with them. LOL. I promptly bought a new Camry and drove it until my needs changed in 11 and that’s when I bought a new RAV 4WD Limited with the 3.5L V6. My wife and I decided to sell my RAV and an older 4WD pickup to consolidate down to 2 vehicles. (A few years ago I bought her a new Outback for her 50th birthday. I would have preferred that she wanted a Toyota, but her entire family, my brother and sister all drive Outback’s and that’s what she wanted, so that’s what I bought for her. We were going to wait to buy a 2026-28 redesigned Tacoma but then I heard that Toyota was dropping the Proven, reliable and durable 3.5L V6 and going to a new 4cyl Turbo, so that’s when we decided to buy a 23 TRD. The rest is history. I retired early when I was 43, just a few months before meeting my wife. I now drive only 6-8K miles per year and because I’m almost 60 years old, I’m sure I’ll be driving my 23 TRD until I die. Yes we will have to replace my wife’s Outback someday, so I’ll start looking around for a low mileage 24 or older 4Runner Limited to replace her Outback and then she’ll be able to drive it until she passes away. Yes I’ve had other “fun” vehicles through the years but Toyota’s have always been my daily driver. Since my first Toyota in 83, Ive been driving Toyota’s for 41 years and counting. That’s not bad at all… 4 Toyota’s in over 40 years.
I got my 2019 TRD Off Road OTT a year ago … best thing I’ve done to date
Toyota knew of the Tacoma passion, and assumed we would come flocking to the new Tacoma no matter what. I have a ‘20 TRD PRO Tacoma, and the sticker shock is a rough blow, as well as the move to a 4 cyl turbo. If I were in the market and could spend $55-60,000 as of this moment, I would buy the Ranger Raptor.
I feel like the criticism Toyota has brought upon themselves has less to do with recalls/dependability and more with cost. The Gen 3 Tundra is entering its 3 year I believe. First year for the Gen 4 Tacoma.. General rule is 3 years to work out the issues with a new platform. Let’s wait and see.. The “bulletproof” 3.5 liter has certainly had its issues as well. I think consumers rightfully expect more and are less tolerant when you get into these ridiculous prices.
2024 Taco not worth it,I picked up a 2019 trd sport and it's been a great truck.
Idk, they're already having transmission problems....
@@RobertJohnson-gy9ky I have 1800 miles on my 2023 and have already had the engine pulled for a timing cover leak.. 🤦🏻♂️ Went for a 23 to avoid the Gen 4 growing pains.. lol
@James-yv8nm Damn, that sucks! There's nothing worse than buying a new vehicle only to make you wish you never did.
Most of the bugs got worked out of the 3.5L V6 in 2011. I drove my 11 RAV 4WD Limited with the 3.5L V6 for 12 years and it didn’t ever give me any trouble. I sold it to a friend of mine and he’s had it for a year now and he says that it still doesn’t burn or leak any oil. It was a Great little SUV. If we didn’t need to replace our old pickup, I’d still be driving it. So I sold him my RAV and sold our pickup and bought a new 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. I’ll drive my 23 TRD until I die.
I dont get the whole car/truck buying culture. People buy these vehicles with money they dont have, to replace something thats not broken. 🤷🏽♂️
We all love to drive an extension of our personalities. I have much nicer rides than I have a nice house. I buy with cash all the time. My hobby is performance driving. It’s my passion. It’s my connection to happiness.
Wish I COULD use chemical products on the exterior of my taco, but.. I live 3 miles down a dirt washboard road, and dust just CLINGS to coated surfaces..tire/Moulding dressings…it’s something I’ve just learned to live with..
I don’t buy that whole …oh..it’s the epa/govt making us ditch the naturally aspirated v6…and put out a turbo 4 only…(while Nissan says hi guys, I’m ALSO a 24 model, ALSO a Japanese company, BUT built in America, and look at MY V6…..🙄
About 2 weeks ago, I bought a 22 tacoma, TRD off-road 4x4, automatic, v6, double cab, 28,000 miles, $37,000…in white..I LOVE IT!!!! I’m SOOO glad I got the gen3, that gen 4, has to PROVE itself, I’m not sold on turbo..seen WAY too many issues with other mfg’s.. Got the tech pkg, and just love my new to me truck!! I plan on 3-400,000+ trouble free miles
@@rstumbaugh43 congrats!
You should have removed the second ebrake straps that’s too much pressure for the cable
2013, 150K my shudder incident just occurred recently. Yes at 40 mph. Never occurred before until recently at 150K
They stupid. Cost too much now, regular folks can't buy these. Lol only the 1% can
Do you have anyone in the Seattle area that does the OTT

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
But they have so many issues and recalls with the new turbo motors they should of just kept the v6 and v8s
Tacos are stacking up everywhere. I will keep the third gen v6 with manual.
That dealer gave me a stupid quote on a tocoma one time never emailed them again
I like how the tune is not detectable at the dealer level, and not supposed to affect the California smog ability
Being a Toyota tundra owner for the past 26 years trading them in every three years I decided to go a different route after I saw the decline of reliability and switch to the GMC 2500 HD and I couldn’t be happier
bro i dont give a damn what this man says, that is NOT hand tight, mans put an extra UNGA in that. all these years of experience and not a torque wrench in sight
I'm going to need to replace my 06 Tundra with 220k miles on it here in the near future. However these new Toyota trucks are garbage with a big sticker price I am seriously looking at other options at this point. I am very disappointed with Toyota.
Toyota needs to bring back their V8
The Tundra turbo V6s are failing big time
They screwed up putting a 4 clynder in a truck as GM😂😂
I'm waiting for the next generation 2 cylinder with a turbo encapsulator.
🤣🤣
Walked away and bought a Colorado ZR2… love it!
$4995 for AT tires? WOW! Does it includes the spare?
I remember growing up back in 1976 when I was 8 years old.My father purchased a brand new 1976 Toyota.Pick up in Southern California for $5200.It was built-in Japan.That thing was built like a break shit house.
Who installed your lift kit if you don’t mind my asking
They've turned it into a gimmick. Tonka truck small bed. 4 cyl turbo bullshit... Some suits need to get jettisoned. No more 6 cyl. No more access cab...4 doors...it's an SUV with a useless bed.
Nobody but the rich will buy them now
I've been following that forum thread. After hearing your shudder in this video, I'm hoping that cause of my bad vibes isn't TC shudder, but something less worrisome, because what I hear in your video isn't the same as my bad vibes. I'm 6 days from installing brand new Falken Wildpeak AT3 275/70r17 (currently on AT3 in 265) , and less than 30 days from installing the Eibach stage 2R kit, ECGS needle bearing. If I still have bad vibes, I will replace the carrier bearing or likely the entire driveshaft assembly with one directly from Toyota.
Most people who buy trucks don’t even need them.
Bidenomics
All of the abled bodied worker age people in Mexico are coming to America and living off of welfare. Mexico is forced to hire the folks who couldn’t afford to pay off the Biden coyotes….
So, 4 drain and fills with oem fluid. This video could Have been 10 minutes
Toyotas engine change is in question but this video seems like a Chevy commercial. Let’s get real general motors and quality shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence. when your CEO flat out comes out and says we’re in the business of making money, not cars that’s all you need to know.😂
I really like my 2024 Tacoma Limited! I like everything about it! It now has almost 4000 miles & no problems!
It's called greed.
Never buy a new model of any vehicle. Too many bugs that have not been worked out. Wait till the second year of manufacture!
Did you have to take the seats out to install the covers ?
Nope, I left them in.kzread.info/dash/bejne/g39_q7qoibytodY.htmlsi=yIEXU2L07gePPvHQ
I think Carlsbad Toyota is probably the worst dealership in CA. Concord Toyota is close.
