DUDE I love these videos l!

One thing Toyota should do with the Tacoma (even Tundra if it doesn't have it) is to have the rear window completely roll down like the 4runner instead of a small rear sliding window.

perfect "grownup" Taco build

This dude is the epitome of Tacomaworld.

No test drive or audio on the engine/supercharger???

Perfect poster boy for...."Brocoma"

Thanks for the amazing time TFL! Hope we get to do a test drive some time - if anyone has any questions about the supercharger I'm happy to share - including whether I think I got bang for my bucks

The title is misleading. "Why I sold my Jeep and bought a Tacoma." Its more like, "Why I love my Tacoma."

Typical Taco owners: "Yeah my Tacoma with 200k miles is probably worth like 100k now"

This makes me wish I hadn’t traded my 2019 Tacoma Off Road 6 Speed Manual. It’s really a rare set up. I love my 4Runner Off Road especially with having 2 kids, but my Tacoma was fun.

Well this person is proud of his vehicle and what he's done to it for modifications, which seem nicely done. I personally prefer a half ton because of interior space, but to each his own I guess.

2016 TRD Sport owner here. Just paid my loan off last week so I am looking forward to getting into mods this year and next. Gotta do the seat jackers, the tonneau cover, obviously a lift and tires, skid plate.........

I like Tacomas. I’m just too big to fit comfortably into one. Mid size trucks are cool but they don’t offer much interior space. I went with a 2020 Ram Bighorn and I love it. It was the right vehicle for me. This guy’s vehicle is the right one for him.

Thank You for this video, I'm in the process of buying myself a Tacoma TRD pro and Now that I know I can get a six speed in it omg I'm very excited about my search now, thank you and have a Blessed day everyone

The bracelets around the shifter 😂

When I am in the mountains I shift my Tacoma in S mode and only give it 3 or 4 gears to work with. Then I put the ECT mode on so it holds those gears even longer. Works for me...

Welcome to the Tacoma family!

awesome work on the video guys

I love how he bought a new The North Face®️ vest for this video. “I need to get it dyno’d” “the muffler”

He wants to do the muffler "Just because it would be fun."

Love all the TFL videos and enjoy my 2k18 manual taco... One thing they could do better is actually put a lower gear in the trans for reverse... darn thing is gutless when trying to backup a loaded trailer without having to put into 4 low :)

Very nice toy especially with the manual and the mods are about perfect. Great choices made.

Lovely build. Very simple look, I dig it. Personally I’d get a camper shell for this

The KDMAX 6.0 tune will make a Tacoma feel like it's supercharged.

I have a 2019 manual off road and I have the opposite experience of loosin power around 4k. that's where I start to feel it pull harder.

I have the exact same truck stock and in red. This is a great template for what I want to do with mine. 3' lift on 33's is the right height for me.

Awesome review, love the truck!

Hmm, I just shift my 4Runner using the sequential gearbox and it doesn’t hunt. I would never claim it was fast, but i get the torque I need when I need it.

I absolutely get the idea of more horse power, but in some ways it's gotten rediculus, I really respect this guy he got a mod done that doesn't make him king ship (misspelling) on the road but, it's really fun to drive, and you can hear how much he likes it.

New wheels and that rig is perfect

looks awesome, nothing you don't need in 2021, OCD going crazy because the gear knob's gears are like tilted and not parallel to the driver, and the colour, just personal details but other than that awesome truck, love it!

I just bought a used 2017 TRD Sport. It’s the executive edition with sun roof, JBL sound system that sounds amazing and I was thinking of installing a super Charger so this video just answered some questions I had about slapping one on mine. It’s an awesome truck so far it only had 27,000 miles so it was a low mileage vehicle. The only complaint I have about it is how loud the direct injection is on it. If Toyota would have insulated the hood the noise would have been less but besides that it’s a great truck…

I had a CJ for twenty years. Loved it. Decided to "upgrade" to a used 05 Rubicon one previous owner with only 20,000 miles--a very well taken care of Jeep. After a few years, but very few miles, I started having computer/electronics problems. It was at the local Dodge dealer for months. The dealer owners contacted me. They also owned a Toyota dealership and as an extension of good faith gave me 10K on a Jeep they couldn't fix and I then became the proud owner of a 2019 Tacoma 4x4. Toyota is now my brand.

Cool truck. I didn't even know there was an AM supercharger option for Tacoma's. Love those little trucks though. Reliability is the highest you can get. QUestion what the SC will do long term to the legendary Toyota reliability. Enjoy the truck, its a beaut!

I ordered my '21 TRD offroad with manual way back in January, I'm still waiting on it.

9k about the same for my raptor S/C parts and install @ a local Ford dealership. Basically when getting a truck ensure after market support and budget in 10k for the s/c.

Awesome build. I love it.

Tacoma's are GREAT and I am REALLY starting to like the look of that new 2022 Nissan Frontier too! I can't wait to see and drive the latest upgraded versions of these Toyota and Nissan medium-sized trucks! As other posters have found, out most of these medium sized these trucks are NOT designed for a Big and Tall person! You will feel quite constrained. If you are over 6'1" (185 cm) and over 220 lbs (99 KG). You are going to feel squished! The ONLY MEDIUM SIZED TRUCK that doesn't make me feel squished out of the factory is the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Edition because for some reason it's SEATS seem lower, more streamlined and more adjustable than the normal Colorado. That extra 1.5 inches to 2 inches of head and leg room make ALL the difference! I just rack the seats low and right back and I can properly fit into the Chevy ZR2 Bison. In the Tacoma, it took my friend changing out his seats to RACAROs and add a seat movement extender rails (he too is large) before I could properly fit into the Tacoma. For plain old 4x4'ing, the Tacoma is actually a pretty good deal. It will keep its resale value even when bought used and it's actually a VERY CAPABLE off-roader if you put good M/T tires on it! For any fisherman, hunter and/or off-road boondocker/overlander, ANY Tacoma starting from 2010 onwards now has EVERYTHING you could need as a base to do proper 4x4 long-range off-road. As in almost ALL my posts, I highly suggest putting an extra in-bed fuel tank to double your range OR AT LEAST buy TWO 20 Gallon Jerry Cans to let you go really deep into the remote backwoods where the best fishing/hunting/hiking/camping is! If you can find one, GET THE TRD Extreme/ or T/X Baja edition from 2011 to 2014 with the really beefy springs and shocks. It was basically off-road rally-ready right out of the box! Of course, ANY TRD Pro version from 2015 (when it first started) is going to be an IDEAL boondocker/overlander vehicle! The FIRST THING you need to do when you get a used Tacoma, if it doesn't already have it, is to get a 2 inch or 4 inch lift, new and larger M/T tires, an in-bed extra fuel tank and a bed-attached roll-bar to hold some high-lumens LED light bars and multiple Go-Pro cameras point front, back and sides attached to an in-cabin 12 inch tablet so you can see all-around you during your off-road driving! Now you are TRULY off-road/boondocking/overlanding ready! v

I really enjoyed this. Nice rig.

The rear lift is just blocks…knowing Fat Bobs, I’m guessing the front is just as low-spec.

In '17 drove an 6AT 🌮 and the first time I gave it some throttle and it started acting like a tweaker jerking for gears I was like ohh hell naw! I got a 4R and just did the Magnuson and love it now. Manual blown Taco FTW. 370hp at crank. Might be my next rig.

Love it, the owner really knows his ride

So cool, now every Taco MT owner wants this mod.

I have no issues with my auto transmission on my 2020. However after lifting it and 33's you definitely notice the power issue and obviously took it out of its power band. I regeared for 2k and it's perfect. 6th gear on the highway without down shifting everytime the wind blows. That being said if you don't care about money, supercharge it. I would do it if I had money to burn.

This is crazy because my 2023 TRD Off-road Tacoma manual 6 speed is basically going to be this EXACT truck but in electric like green. This is exactly what I want. Not to big of a lift. Just perfect

I like the way the Tacoma’s look. I’m 5’11 and the steering wheel is too far. I’m either too close or too far something is always hurting. 😂 Time to go back to a full-size truck.

The truck is made for people 5’10” and below. At 6’, I can’t sit in the back seat with my head against the head rest but I still love it because there’s so wasted interior space, it can do wonders off-road, and can haul all my gear. The Pedal Commander helps to with responsiveness. I wish there was a smiles per mile mode.

Nice man. I waited over a year. But I’ve my manual. Dealership called last week asking if they can buy it 😂

Ok a manual would be nice to have available in a V6 Colorado, but I’m totally satisfied with the 8speed automatic in mine. Under no circumstance have I ever felt was underpowered! Oh it’s not a speed demon, but not a slouch at all. Including while towing my 27’, 4,500-5,600 lbs max travel trailer, that I’ve towed all over the South East, from Key West, FL, to Pigeon Forge, TN all through The Smokey Mountains, I’ve been able to maintain legal speed limits on all roads and grades, all while just feathering the gas pedal, without Tow/Haul mode with the trans temp never going over 190 degrees! On the longest Interstate grade I can cruise up at 65 mph, at approx 3,500 rpm’s in 5th gear while feathering the pedal.

Should’ve gotten a brand new JL Wrangler Rubicon, best decision by far.

Wild Peak are my default tire now. Best choice for snow and ice imho. 👌

“It was an all day job... for them” 😂😂😂

Thanx for the morning laugh.

I have a manual 3rd gen Tacoma. The engine doesn't even start making power until 3500. I'm confused by why his "died out" around then?

My 86 22rte on 10psi ms2 w/ Garrett t04e 50trim .48ar dbb.. all 200hp butt dyno is super fun to drive.. very good peppy daily

love my 2016 access cab trd. went automatic. not that hard to drive a manual. perfect height for me at 5'9. being at sea level and no mountains gearing not really an issue.

Use to own a 2001 4 door black pearl Tacoma it was supercharged 3.4 it made it just past 200k before problems occurred in 2005. Getting a 2001 2.7 single cab 4x4 forest green Tacoma much happier with the inline 2.7 4 cylinder.

6:15 Interesting that the computer doesn’t engage the mechanical, belt-driven supercharger in 1st gear 🤔🤔🤔. Makes sense to me!

I wish I can afford a Magnuson supercharger.

After reading comments, I would say this truck owner is happy with his upgrades he’s had done. After all, it his choice how and where he wishes to spend his money. My next door neighbor will blow a $78,000 custom engine in 6 seconds on the track. Big deal he says, thats racing. I’d say its typical American Car culture to spend lots and lots of $$$ on whatever blows our skirts up... As said so often, if it makes you happy then its all good. Due to this channel covering the GMC AT4 Canyon I bought that truck. After traveling 11 states towing a teardrop trailer with all our gear in the bed I’ve fall’n in love with my truck. So much so my wife has mentioned we should consider selling her Highlander and making the GMC our only vehicle. Would I consider a super charger in the future? Sure I would. We loved exploring small communities having one lane roads with little worry about being oversized when facing ranch owners/employees F-350’s F-450’s with large stock trailers. The only mod I’ve done so far is remove the air dam. Now I’m thinking of super charging my truck after watching this well done video. Stock hight is perfect for this old boy, better shocks are in my future. Cheers! Gary B.

Aaaaaaaaand no test drive 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just a heads up, my mechanic whose shop builds up Toyota trucks, says that the new generation of Tacomas and Tundras are made with parts sourced from China. Their parts used to be sourced from Japan. They’re still assembled in Japan, but no longer with mostly Japanese parts. Apparently they’re already having big problems indicative of quality control issues such as inconsistent parts machining. I’ll hold on to my ‘06 4Runner V8 for as long as I can.

Nice. You should put the trd sport hood on it.

I bought the 4cyl Tacoma cause the 2TR-FE is simple, robust, and well proven over the last 15 plus years. If the developing world can’t kill the 2TR-FE what makes him think he can?

I really don’t find my 2022 Trd off road v6 “searching for gears” and I live in bc Canada . But hey I guess every truck Is different . Plus I love the stock shift knob , that one he got made looks really uncomfortable to hold .

I wanted manual in my new 2021 but stuck with auto for the advanced offroad features. Want that supercharger

I have this exact truck, but in stock form. I've always had Toyotas. I'm not a fan of this engine at all. It has NO low end torque and you have to rev it up and slip the clutch like crazy to be able to tow or crawl. It's made to run at high RPM. I had a 2014 FJ with the 4.0L and it was better for towing. If you drive it hard, it's a great set up. If you rock crawl or tow, it could be a lot better. I feel a supercharger would just compound the problem.

5:12 kinda risky running that grill without the sensor garnish

MT is the only way to go. '17 TRD Sport owner here on the Big Island. 6" Pro Comp lift, 33x12.5 Nitto Grapplers, 1"spacers. There is NO where I cannot off-road. Would like the Super Charger for some more HP.

Kudos to you man. Manual transmissions need to stay around.

The magnuson is in my sights. I'd love one, but their tuning for AT I hear is pretty horrible. Hoping for some improvements to the tuning abilities.

Hell yeah! Manual all the way!!

Love the build, I have a 2020 trd off road 6mt, love it but really want to trade for a rubicon 2 door with mt and soft top.

Dang, I have the exact same year/make/model/trans/color etc. Sadly no twin turbos...or supercharger...

Got a 2004 Tacoma supercharged 4wd with 2.1 pulley , 7th injector kit, meth kit , big trd radiator , air box mod , transmission cooler, hiwire mod, few other goodies. Y’all trynna make a video on it ? Lol

Great truck, well built

Very nice Tacoma, though it would've been nice to hear it rev up.

See I have a cold air intake with the 6spd automatic and on 35s and when going in hilly roads or going up a steep grade in the highway I just turn in ect power and the gear hunting problem is gone there automatic isn’t bad if you know how to drive em

how fast is the 0-60 with the super charge? Fuel take a huge hit?

Hehe. The Pajero (Montero). Is a lit car tbh. Loved it

I have a 2020 Tacoma TRD off-road and it has absolutely no gear hunting and I should know because I owned a 2017 Tacoma TRD off-road that had plenty of gear hunting

He needs: Cold air intake, Exhaust, and a tune on that to push the most out that Supercharger. I want one bad

Nice, even thought it would probably get walked by a tuned ecoboost ranger.......

I'm holding out for the badass 500hp electric ones!!

Ability is more important than lifting for looks, you can't see it if you are driving.

'Id like to go bigger'- tacoma owner

The mohawk and vest is so Tacoma owner. I am surprised I did not see a Punisher decal anywhere. I am sick of bland Toyota content. A grey used underpowered Toyota is not even worth talking about. I hope the upcoming new Taco takes its competition more seriously and adds some excitement.

Roots style super chargers are'nt turned off and on, unless this has some computer controlled clutch on the pulley. When the engine runs the pulleys turn the impellers in the SC. So, not having extra power in first gear seems like somethings amis. Typically, unless its a centrifigul type blower, you should feel lots of extra power thru the whole power curve, but definitley down low in fisrt ear.

Toyota should offer a factory supercharger option - Call it the Taco Supreme

After my 2012 and 2014 with problems I wouldn't own a new Tacoma I like the older ones !!!

Great truck

I love my Tacoma but needs more power. 3.4 313k miles feels like it has maybe has 100 hp but does run great

I bought a 2021 Tacoma TRD off road DC 4x4 the gear hunt is gone feels waaay better than my 2018 Tacoma did in the same configuration, I love it .

Just got rid of my 2011 tacoma for a 21 zr2….wishing now I kept the old tacoma. Never really need to go back to the dealership when you buy a new Toyota, the zr2 has had a few visits already…for a 2021 that is aweful. Anyone want to buy a 2021 zr2?

6 speed is the best bet with current gen tacos, supercharged even better!

FYI the 3-year/36k powertrain warranty is for a brand new vehicle. At 50k miles you have no (power train) warranty from Magnuson. Only the Magnuson parts are covered.

Hello brotha, would u take a video how to install tacoma grille light) I could offer the products

Nice truck.To naysayers, supercharger can't be worse than turbos.To( I would've got tundra crowd) this smaller truck has advantages if you want off road vehicle

Excellent ride that will last for EVER!

Love the Toyota and the guy driving it 😉
