Subscribed. Congrats on your new rig! I have a 2021 TRD Pro in Lunar Rock. About 30K miles. Been all over and off roaded a ton. Never abused, but definitely used. Still looks showroom ready after a quick wash. I also have a Lunar Mist 2003 TRD Off Road that runs as good today as it did when I bought it in September of 2003. Good luck with your Tacoma... it will serve you well. Always change your fluids/belts/etc often and well-ahead of recommend schedule, and it will perform flawlessly for years.

So excited to pick my Lunar Rock up this week! You’re right about watching Taco vids 24/7, currently in that state now. Went from a 04’ 1st gen to a 23’ 3rd, same specs as yours! Best graduation gift ever 🤙🏼

Love the video, everything you said I agree with. It’s the best!

12:46 My 2018 just hit 80,000 last week. i’ve changed the oil every 5,000.

you can listen to music if you put the truck in neutral then shut it off then put it in park.

I love my 22 LR Short bed. I’ve gone had a couple situations where a long bed would have been great…but I was able to make it work. I love the look of the short bed 😁 Thanks for the review and walk around. I just hit 24.5k miles (just got back from a trip total 784 miles).

I have the exact same truck you do , nice video by the way, 5,000 mile oil changes will make your engine last forever

My last car was 10 mpg, I like my lunar rock taco also

Just got my new taco trd sport and we share the same love and admiration for the body style. I could still at stare at my truck for hours lol😂

Great review, your observations are spot on. I replaced a '17 access cab with a '23 DCLB and I would never go back to access cab. Way more cabin noise in the AC, always sounded like a window was open. And the suicide doors that require you to open the main door first get old fast. I too hate the camera system, my '17 AC had the standard and it was so much better than the "new and improved" system, in fact the JBL is not great either. I've actually considered seeing if someone might want to swap head units as I prefer the sound of the standard Entune with the basic camera system. If you haven't done it yet, I highly recommend adding the remote tailgate lock, definitely my favorite upgrade so far! Otherwise love the Tacoma platform though, they will run forever with standard routine maintenance, enjoy!

5K always! Love my 2020 TRD OR prem. Traded my 08 TRD OR for my perfect truck!

Teaves I own a 2022 Tacoma Lunar Rock just like you. Whatever you do… do NOT do the 10,000mi oil changes that the dealerships want you to follow. These oil filters ppm control is not high enough to keep your oil clean for that long. Unless you can match a LubeFiner or CAT oil filter on your 3.5L you won’t be able to go that long. Please do 5,000mi oil changes to keep your 3.5L V6 lasting long. (I work in the Power Generation industry, I constantly work on CAT, Cummins, Baldor, Blue Star, Briggs & Stratton, etc)

hey, great video and it is a nice truck!. I am like you. I love to talk about my truck. I do not have a Tacoma but I just purchased a 2024 Tundra in Lunar Rock color 4x4 with a TRD package.

I started looking for my Tacoma in 23, but I couldn’t find Exactly what I was looking for. Yes there are a Gazillion 5’ Bed Soccer Mommy’s and Daddy’s that have the to pick up groceries. I need a 6’ bed. Finally I found my truck in 24. It’s a 23 TRD Off Road, Double Cab with the 6’ bed. It was slightly used (6K miles). The book price was $51,484. I bought it for $48K. It’s an absolutely great pickup.

In the same boat as you, glad you like your taco🤙🏼

For the windows I use Adam's spray wax detailer after I wash my truck and I have no issues with the water. If that's not your thing then try Rain-x. I hope you lesioned and put the Screen-protech on. that radio will only take so many wipes before it get's trashed and with the way light hit's it it's going to drive you crazy!!!

Excellent video. Thank you!

Truck looks amazing as is your microphone quality

The best Toyota mechanic on the internet says 5000 miles don't do the 10.

I have the same truck my lunar rock never looks dirty unless i take it off road other than that the dirt and dust doesnt show i really love my truck

Just had my 2023 trd pro for 4 months too. Under 1k miles haha. I’m Saving the miles but love the truck

i agree the cameras kinda suck but dont give up you will get used to them. also if you change the oil yourself at 5k dont be alarmed at all the metal in the filter, its normal and shouldnt happen again.

Washboard roads is the correct term.

In the video at 14:10, what are the two finned pipes in front of the radiator at the bottom. Looks like something for cooling. Is it to do with part of the towing package? Thanks.

Dam he said it's been 4 months and 5000 miles , lots of miles in 4 months

I use 87 , regula gas in my taco
