Those engines that are being thought to go in it are very reliable. Eventually you will not be able to get anything that is not at least a hybrid

Yeah because Toyota Prius' (& their other hybrids) have proven to be very unreliable 🙄

I showed our New Tacoma rusty cracks on the Frame and the Dealer Refused to do Anything and said one little guy among the Thousand is not the Issue?!? Really ? So I'm going to take care of Extremely Poor Frame Paint for even the paint on my Grandma broomstick is way better ,Yeh there is no gonna be shortage of idiots ,ever !

@@crusherman96 first of all, how many old Prius’s do you see on the road and second, usually the first model year of any car might have issues

@@sad754yt same, I prefer as basic as possible. The less buttons, the less things to break. Although I do prefer v6 and 4x4 for my needs

Yo también 👍👏🏻👏🏻

Same here

Exactly why I pulled the trigger on mine a month ago. So much rather have the proven, tried and true last model year than a complete unknown all new turbo-powered question mark.

Have already replaced 3 transmissions in the brand new tundra before they’ve been sold and still on the lot.

Bought a new Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off Road with manual trans in August 2022. Use for camping, pull a small InTech camper (2500 lbs), and off-road adventures (no rock climbing). No complaints.

@@georgedreher2322 that thing will be worth what you bought it for for a long time. good purchase

You sold your raptor?

Yes, but that was in late 2019. It was a 2018 model. I couldn’t live with it being such a difficult vehicle to park, to include my garage. That said, if those conundrum’s don’t bother you, a Raptor is still one the baddest trucks on the planet. For me, my Tacoma TRD pro was simply easier to live with. I sincerely chose that over the the sportiness and power that Raptor was superior in.

How's the overall performance thou? My 16 i went plus size 265 and the transmission lost its dam mind🤣 i know you can reflash it now but at the time we didn't have those resources

@@stephencarbajal5657 The transmission maybe better tuned now?? I don’t even notice the slightest difference. After the lift and tires I’m down to 17.5 mpg. I got 18.5 to 19 stock.

@@DUNEATV 285's?

Did you do it yourself?

@@chrisx5127 No, had Toyota Dealer I bought the truck from install it.

I have a 2020 Trd off-road there is no gear hunting

I've owned both and I'm here to tell you, there is NOTHING wrong with the 2016 and after Tacoma's. I bought my 2016 Tacoma TRD OR new in November of 2015 with no issues and no regrets. It has NEVER hunted for gears and I wouldn't trade it for the older model. Not that there is anything wrong with the older Tacoma's, there's just nothing better about them ether.

Heck yeah! I'm glad to hear they fixed the hunting with an update, good stuff! 👌😁

How much and how many miles?

I just sold my 2015 prerunner Tacoma! I put over 50k miles on it It never let me down. 2015 is a good year

You have a two week wait for your vehicle purchase? What is this a California gun sale? Ha!

@@michaelm1053 Yes...very similar. I had to have two character references and they had to check my driving record for ANY dangerous violations back to age 16. I don't mind..if it will save just one life I'm all for it. It took about 10 days to receive my permit to purchase and was allowed on the lot to "visit" my "potential" purchase. With a 50% deposit, they agreed to hold it for the two weeks, since they had 21 purchasers lined up if I wasn't approved.

Made in Mexico though.

@@chrisx5127yep, doesn't inspire confidence

They fix that in 2020 with the refresh

I had a 2018 TRD Off-Road and sold it after owning it only a year and a half because of the constant gear hunting. Glad to hear they fixed it.

Nah it’s not really fixed. Search for the nitro regear Tacoma KZfaq video to learn more about why people are putting new gears in these tacos including 20 up to 23

Tundra production in US Texas and the quality is far worse than tacoma produced in Mexico and many other brands trucks produced in US.

Exactly

They already are testing out a lot of what the new Tacoma is rumored to have everything from transmission, to platform to engines in their other vehicles, so it won’t be a completely brand new truck,

Yeah but even without that stuff they still be priced like one, so if I’m gonna pay that much might as well get some of that stuff

40k was the absolute top price for this trim like 6-7 years ago, it’s ridiculous how pricey they’ve become. $38k was the average for this trim on Tacomas

I bought my lunar rock 21 Pro Tundra the December before the cv madness took off with 1 mile on the odometer. Paid $51k out the door with a 100k 10 year bumper to bumper while the sticker was $58k. It's now got almost 40k miles and am planning for it to be the last truck I ever buy.

@urs6onfuturas975 Yeah that's what I'd have gotten if I didn't get baited by the "world beater" '22. I paid more for my 19 with 38,000 miles. Worth it tho to avoid that '22.

They call it the Stealership for a reason

@@urs6onfuturas975 how did you negotiate down from 7K to 10K?

...dumpster fire, grandpa's pick up car and Grandma's pick up car.

Ram as a recommendation yeah no thank you, the maverick is a boy scout truck and the ridge line is a wanna be truck person car.

What? Name these dire, God awful problems that are plaguing the Gen 3's. The Gen 1 and Gen 2 did NOT make Toyota's famous. The simple named Toyota pick up did that for years prior to being named Tacoma as a 1995 1/2 truck.

@@melissamonfort6539 sorry you paid $40k for a gen 3 lmao

@@beanwithbaconmegarocket Sorry, no 2016 Tacoma cost close to $40,000 but mine still has a resale value of $32,000. In America, the market decides what has value and what doesn't.

@@melissamonfort6539 lol you got no idea what youre talking about

​@@beanwithbaconmegarocket Educate me. I've owned a 1990 Ext cab 4x4 22RE 5sp (that's the injected version), 1994 3.0L Auto (totaled in 96), 1995 1/2 3.4L 5sp (First called Tacoma), 2012 4.0L auto and 2016 3.5L auto. The BEST of all these trucks was the 1990. A friend bought a new 1985 Toyota pick up after joining the Marines, that was a great truck as well, but I never owned it. Your claim that the 1 & 2 generations are great and "none of the gen 3s are showing the type of longevity and reliability" is ridiculous and makes you look as if you don't know what you're talking about.

I have a 2016 I bought new in November of 2015 (very early in the Gen 3 production run) I have NEVER had a problem with this truck. And a suspect 99% of the 16 & 17 Tacoma's have had no problems.

Made in Mexico though

The costs are crazy on the full size trucks in all makes and models.

The gas milage rating isn't inflated like domestic full size trucks. I had a 3.5 Ecoboost f150 and never got what was advertised. My '23 taco v6 double cab will get 24mpg at 65mph.

@@catchpen That's great mileage. Maybe the 24 will be even better even in non-hybrid form.

Many 2nd gen tacoma produced in mexico as well and it is reliable as f**k. They only assemble the truck in mexico all the parts are from all over the world.

Mine was made in Texas so I have no comment.

That's what I thought when I bought a new 2014

Nice!

Not everyone.

Hybrid and a Plug in EV version are coming is what is rumored

Lower gearing has been a common part of an off-road or towing package for many manufacturers...Just another example of Toyota going cheap;(

You are wrong, manual now even in the lowest trim for 2024.

Why even consider to buy mid size if you are a big dude. Get full-size and stop bitching about the size. And yes i am 5’6 have no problem for me 😂

The 2024 they removed 2" of driver legroom. Im 6 ft and would be to cramped for me.

No
