Күн бұрын

We finally get the updated 2024 Toyota Tacoma to review! And we start with a very important question. Did Toyota improve the Tacoma or ruin it in the new redesign?
We start with a fully detailed technical review of the Engine, Hybrid Trim, Transmission and 4WD system. Then we take a thorough tour underneath it. We look at the inside and outside. We discuss some things we like and some things we don't like and finally we discuss if you shoudl consider one without a V6 or not.

My brother-in-law just bought one of these; he is 67 years old and this is his first new vehicle. He paid $45,000 for it out the door and was just bragging about how it drives and performs. I saw him at Wendy's yesterday and he was driving his old Ranger in the drive-thru. I asked where his Tacoma was and he was pulling his boat out of a lake and it sounds like the same thing happened to his truck that happened to the TFL truck. He has it at the dealer now. His was made in Baja, Mexico. Scotty Kilmer is going to have a field day with this one. GREAT VIDEO!

Truth. Turbo will probably last along time, but eventually will break negating any gas mileage savings you get. The positive of the turbo 4, is you get more power.

Toyota has been putting some variation of that I4 turbo engine in the Hilux and other overseas models for over twenty years. It's dead reliable and as durable as any Toyota engine. Toyota is not Ford or any of the other truck manufacturers. They don't just drop new engines in the US market. I know everyone loves the 4.0 V6 but it's a dinosaur. Underpowered and horrible gas mileage. It had to go eventually.

@user-tb7rn1il3q 2 ай бұрын

They are still using the 4.0 in many vehicles overseas and the 4Runner. It is powerful, reliable, and fuel efficient. It’s still a very modern engine. That being said the 2.4t is a better engine that has a good track record.

@halvo11 2 ай бұрын

They are appealing to their main target audience of mall crawlers and those that drive a dirt road twice a year. Smart business move but really sucks if you off-road or want a Toyota truck for the ruggedness like older hilux’s, land cruisers, and tacomas.

@@donm2255 All vehicles have wires and hoses. The V6 was same. I take it you’ve never worked on engines. Now you have less moving parts. One head instead of two. One head gasket instead of two. Four pistons and rods instead of six. Only one head of moving parts instead of two, so timing chain is less stressful. Smaller engines means, more room.

I agree with that scoop on the front...one big Colorado snowstorm and she would be ripped right off! Another negative, for me, would be that they are not made in Texas but in Mexico. Like the new Tundra, I'd wait at least a year to get the problems fixed...with so many new stuff, they are bound to have some problems. Hopefully you get to review the new Stout soon!!!

why didn't you get a 1980s tuck that made like 150hp out of a small block v8. The 3.5 v6 is an incredible complex engine on its own dual overhead variable valve cams, direct injection, aluminum block, 4 valves per cylinder. The Ford 300 (4.9L) is considered one of fords most reliable engines many with over 500k miles made 110hp in the 80s. And too make the argument even more ridiculous the Ford Model T had a 2.9L engine making 20hp. More goes into engineering than just power per litre.

There's always going to be something that breaks in a new truck. Truth be told since that happened, Toyota covered the repair. As they should because right now that's a huge magnifying glass. The same thing happened to the 4Runner the year they got rid of the V8... nobody wanted to buy them, until 3 or 4 years later when they saw, OMG they last longer than before. :) I have a 2020 4Runner and glad to see they will make it easily to 245k average (based on 20 year history of registrations). I have confidence in Taco as well as the Tundra proving themselves as well. I'm just not buying them until they make it past the initial build year stage.
