I bought an SR5 in 2019. She was perfect. I had none of the squeaks or flimsiness in the door handle that you experience until recently. She was tight and very quiet in almost every way. Even with my door handle, it felt tight; my door only had a SLIGHT rattle near where my left elbow would rest and only when I was blaring music. She was beautiful and perfectly maintained but she was totaled last week while I was at work. She was parked outside of my place of business and was murdered, outright. She did everything I ever asked of her and was absolutely bulletproof. RIP my baby, Charlotte.

Best part was the end when you talked about your faith. Bought my Tacoma new in late 2021 and so far no issues and love it. God bless you and your channel.

Bought my first Tacoma a few months ago. I purchased a 2020 TRD Off-road with 38 thousand miles. I absolutely love this truck. Crawl mode is awesome, and it has more bells and whistles than I’ll ever need. This truck will stay in my garage until it decides to die. God bless you and thank you for your testimony. All Glory to God. Without Him we are nothing.

Damn bro, that was an intense way to end a video. Thank you for you opening up and I really did felt your honesty and truth be told I teared up a bit.

What makes Japanese engines so reliable? Many years ago I worked at a Toyota factory in the USA. One day we had some visitors from GM taking the factory tour and the visitor’s center was hospitable and had them meet some of the engineers and technical people (I was in IT and honestly had the best personality to deal with visitors so was invited along). The GM people asked us to see our rework yard. I had no idea where or what that was so I asked my colleagues what it is and where it is. They were as confused as me. When asked, the GM folks told us it’s the lot where they keep cars that come off the assembly line with defects so that they can be patched up and sold. So we took them to the small warehouse area where we keep the dozen or so cars that come off the line with a minor issue that we can fix and make it as good as every other car. More often than not it was an issue with the stitching on the seat or a steering wheel or something like that, and we would just replace the part that was imperfect. GM guy: “Where’s the rest of it?” Me: “This is it. What do you do?” GM guy explained they had a large lot for cars that come off the line with faulty body work or engines or transmissions, and they’re patched up so they can be sold. Then he said “what do you do with your defective cars?” We explained that it rarely happens, and when it does we study it, figure out what went wrong, fix the issue so it won’t happen again, and then either keep the car for further study and training purposes or crush it. Nothing that comes off the line with a serious defect leaves the factory.

I Love my 23 TRD Off Road 6’ bed with Leather, sunroof, LED lights, Double Cab. I had been saving up for years and finding out that the 24 was going to be a 4cyl turbo, it was time to buy a 23 with the 278hp 3.5L naturally aspirated V6.

I have a 2002 with 330k. I’m going to buy a new one, but still going to keep my old truck! I can’t get much for it so I’m keeping it. It’s still running solid.

Amen my brother.

Thanks for sharing the spirit’s conviction in your heart, as you know it impacts others who watch. Keep spreading the message and providing good content!

Love your consistency, been your viewer for 2 years now. Thank you brother.

Amen my brother all Glory and Praise to our Lord JESUS CHRIST Amen.

Good review. I have 2019 TRD Sport MT. Purchased new. Now just shy of 90,000 miles. Zero issues. Been a great truck.

Thank you for the review and the word at the end. I appreciate your testimony.

Great video. And an even better message at the end!

Looking into getting a Tacoma and came across your video on the hood and bad of the truck & the whole video I was glued and then at the end when you started to read scripture! I have never seen another KZfaq that does so. I had to immediately hit that sun button ! I look forward to seeing your vids 🙏🏽

Good information, humor, and a strong spiritual message. Great content. Thanks for your efforts.

Loved this video! The scripture and your testimony made me get emotional. Shared it with my girlfriend and she did too! Also I really resonated with your thoughts on the 2024 Tacoma and how to approach thing’s we don’t have. Just being content with what we do have. That’s something God’s worked with me on the past few months. Just being grateful for what I have. Sometimes yeah I lose sight of it and get lost in the newest tech or whatever it maybe be but then I remember his teachings and I appreciate what I do have. Thanks for making this video and putting yourself out there. It really motivates me to put myself out there as well

Love the testimony!! Just subscribed ! 🙏🏻

Thank you for the good message. I really needed to hear that today

Good review brother! I just traded in my 2020 Sport Taco for the 2023 TRD PRO.. Say a prayer for my sister, she is battling stage 4 cancer and it has been rough. She tells me she's afraid, I tell her to Trust in the Lord with all her heart..

You're a good man. You're using your platform for good and that is why I am subscribing. Also because I love Tacomas. :)

Bro, you brought a smile to my face! I am glad I watched your video to the end, I have never seen someone read the Bible at the end of their videos. You are awesome and it was awe-inspiring! I am looking into getting a Tacoma! I think it may be my future truck now!

I like the way you view things. “ There’s always gonna be another thing. I like to try to stay content with the things I have and not long for the things that i don’t have. They’ll make you happy for a time, but they won’t fulfill you. “ excellently put. I really enjoyed the video. I just bought a Tacoma truck and I absolutely love it. Good to know about the serpentine belt though.

Thank you for the end message, I was in need of that.

I loved the reading today. God bless you brother. Keep up the great work. I needed those versus.

I really enjoy your channel. You also talked me out of a new truck so thanks. Hahaha I meant that in a good way. I appreciate your honesty. Thanks for all you do!

I have a 2018 Sr5 and I love it. Just wish i had gotten the 4 door. God bless you and your truck brother.

I'm glad that I watched your video. Thumb ups on the ending.

Man, first time watching any video of yours. As I watched, I thought to myself, this cat must be a believer. I was not disappointed. Loved the ending!!!! I’m looking at a 2024 Tacoma. Never owned a Tacoma before. Wanted a Toyota pickup back in 1990. I still have an 11 yr old suburban which runs great. I’ll keep arguing in my head!

Good video, i watch until the end 👍

2015 TRD, 340,000 miles, started running rough at 300,000 took it to a nearby Toyota dealership. The next day the service manager called me,"do you know these are the original spark plugs in this truck! They're supposed to be changed every 30k miles!" My bad, I thought it said 300. Gas-oil-tires, brake pads, that's it. Wouldn't be afraid to drive it across country today. Had a 2006, same truck same result, traded it at 280,000 miles and regretted it before I was off the lot. I'll never drive anything else. Told my wife I'd have it til it hit 500,000 or Jesus comes back. Better get right with Him now, I'm driving the wheels off of it.

I have a 2020 Off-Road and have zero issues with it, nothing I love my Tacoma I love this channel new here and glad I found you. God bless brother keep up the great work.

Good morning brother Isaac, I loved the review on your Taco, I also have a 2019, 4 cylinder and am quite content with what God has blessed me with. I absolutely loved your beautiful testimony and teared up as I was listening to it. May Jesus continue blessing you in everything. 🙏🏼😊

Just bought a 2023. Only 36 miles but so far so good. God bless you brother.

What a great testimony. Thank you for the ending segment.

Awesome vid, bro. I’m also a Christian and really appreciated the ending. It’s a great reminder! The Tacoma is my dream truck, God willing one day soon! I liked and subbed!

That is one of THE most beautiful Christian faith proclamations I've ever heard. Great review of the Tacoma also.

I have been watching Toyota videos trying to learn more to help with my decision whether or not to purchase one. This is the first one of your videos I have viewd. After watching this I gotta say,as a Saved Christian I am very proud of you and what you are doing and your message. Keep up the good works and may GOD BLESS YOU. 🙂

Good scripture, brother! Good message! His Word is a mirror to my soul, and man oh man, how much I need Him! I’ve not ever been enough. I’ve not ever had enough to pay my own debt alone. But God commended His love towards someone like me, in that while I’m still a sinner, Christ died for me! Thank you, brother! Love the reviews, and I love the style that God has grafted in you.

I ordered a 2023 Tacoma because of you, it's ariving next month. Cant wait!!!

I just bought a new access cab to get the v6 before it's gone I know the 24s sharp I feel confident getting a 23 was the right move I'm glad to see the Great luck your having with yours

"There's always another thing." That is correct and very wise thinking. We are always looking for the bigger and better when we are already blessed. I always have to remind myself this.

I was watching your video and I did enjoy it and was wondering if I should subscribe to your channel and then you read scripture and that definitely sealed the deal. God bless you young man and keep your videos coming.

Great video and I loved your testimony

Great videos and great discussion about forgiveness at the end. I just subbed to your channel!

Love your 4 year review, glory to the king

I deal with chronic pain a good pt helps so much. Our pain isn’t without purpose though it makes us more empathetic towards the suffering of others. God bless!!

Love the video! Just wondering where it was filmed? Always looking for new trails

Thank you. Needed to hear what you said about the Scripture. I needed to hear that this week. Thank you.

Hey Isaac, great video. I love these Tacomas and have thought, if my old 4Runner ever gives up the ghost, a Tacoma might be next. I really appreciated hearing the little pros and cons that you only know from OWNING a vehicle for 4 years. Love your down to earth and funny delivery. Also, what a powerful message at the end of the video. Thank you for sharing. It’d do us all well to remember what Jesus said in Matthew, myself chief among them.

Thank you for the testimony, God bless you brother

I love all these comments. Hoping to get a Tacoma myself someday, currently have a 97 camry(haha).

Love the videos. God bless you.

I have a 2005 Tacoma that I use for work. Runs great , has 195k miles, But things keep breaking down and it’s frustrating. (For example my tailgate does close out of no where) so I decided I need a new truck and started looking for 3rd gen Tacomas (something within my budget) man when you said “make sure it’s not something you long for” I felt the Lord speak to me. God bless you brother ! Keep on !

Nice review. I have a 2017 TRD Sport 6 speed Manual, love it. I call it "Putt Putt" because there really isn't that much get up and go with it. I used to own full size trucks before buying my Tacoma, so I guess I shouldn't compare Putt Putt to them.

Thanks for the helpful video! Now, not to give away your exact location, but to share something amusing I realized from the start of the video. When I saw where you were, I immediately thought, "that place looks familiar." Then I saw you driving around and I thought, "those houses look familiar." Combine that with the hoodie, and seeing one of the most annoying intersections in the county, I was able to confirm we live in the same area. Cool to see a local guy making these videos.

Amen! I have a 4runner, a Rav4, and a Bible. So I subscribed!

"And the award for Tear Jerker Automotive Review Of the Year goes to........" Seriously, this is the last video on the planet I expected to get teary-eyed watching. Well done, good sir. p.s. just so there's no confusion - I'm not referring to the subtle Chevy diss on the topic of engine / transmission issues :P

Thanks for sharing the words God laid on your heart. Heard those exact scripture today at church. It still applies today!

I love how you always give God the praise in almost all of your videos and acknowledging that your accomplishments was not by your power but God. You have got yourself a sub.

My 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, Double Cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs is almost a year old, but I have only 7K miles. I haven’t towed or hauled anything yet. This summer a few of us are going to go on the BDR, (Washington state Back country Discovery Route, which is an overland route from Oregon to Canada, 575 miles). It’s a 7-10 day trip. We’ll start slow first going from Malaga to Ellensburg and Ellensburg to North Bend on Forest and Logging Roads. We’re really looking forward to it.

May God bless you and keep you all of your days.

Your awesome much respect to you!

Watching this again I’m convinced you’re my favorite reviewer on KZfaq, based, relatable, and wise. God bless!

I remember you young man...I watched your video. I was interested as- Jan 2019 I purchased my 2019 TRD OR Double Cab. I have had zero issues with my truck...the big deal is not the 4 years of ownership, but...I now have just under 250K miles (247 I think) - many of those in 4WD. I wish you continued success!!

I stumbled on your channel because of my Tacoma. I’m staying and subscribing for Jesus. Great scripture reading. Words to live by. 🙏

i drive to work 70miles one way. currently drive a lowered honda civic del sol, but during winter time it gets pretty sketchy. highly considering a tacoma!!

I drove my first (and only) Tacoma off the lot on May 3, 2013. 270,000 km later it still drives the same.

sunroof isn't all that it takes away from the head room i could do with out mine on another note thanks for your story im sure it spoke to many of us i know it did to me your videos are always awesome keep it up

Just came across your video bc I am about to buy a used Tacoma this week. Thank you for not being ashamed of the gospel! You just gained a new subscriber. Amen and God bless.

Not the push it to the limit I was expecting 😂😂

I have a 22 tacoma. It's got 52k miles. No issues at all, except for one time i had an issue with the transfer case but that was my fault.

440k on my 2001. Great vid. Comparison is the thief of joy.

Great video. I've loved my Tacomas. Wish I could afford to have one WITH my 2013 FJ. Just too little time and too little budget. Haha. Any chance you are related to Neil that does the videos for Messicks??? Same mannerisms and you actually sound alike too. Not a dig, I'm a big fan of Messicks and Kubota tractors..... just an observation :)

Thanks for sharing your experiences and how God has taught you through Scripture.

I bought a new 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport 2WD and it has run flawlessly. I don't put a lot of miles on my vehicles, and this one only has 110K on it, but I've never had an issue with this truck. I do maintenance and I've replaced the drive belt (preventive maintenance) and it's still running like new. I love this truck, but I'm really disappointed that Toyota is taking its most successful vehicle and ruining it by doing away with the V6 and putting over-worked, super-charged 4 cylinders in them. I don't care how much social media content they put out with paid engineers saying the 4 is just fine. I don't buy it, and I won't buy their new Tacoma.

Great Video !! Are you Benedict Cumberbatch stunt double 🏍️ 😅

Nice video and truck! Where did you get the seat heaters from?

Cool way to end the video. Ever thought about Seminary? Dallas Theological Seminary for example

good vid i just got a new tacoma

Amen brotha great video I hope the lord keeps blessing you and your family and much love! Pray for my 223k 19 Tacoma I might be picking up.

Came for the taco stayed for the scripture. Great video 🙏

My wife and i have owned 4 Toyotas. The last time i saw CEL was our 04 Corolla when it was 2 years old. Never seen a CEL on my 13 Tacoma, my wifes 16 RAV 4 and nothing yet on my 20 Tundra.

Stop the squeaking on that section of your dash. Go to the fabric store and buy piece of felt. Cut small piece and glue them around the holes for the clips. God's blessings.

Bought my son a new Texas built 2017 TRD Sport in Quicksand. 130k miles and nothing other than routine maintenance.

Any trouble passing emissions on any 2.7 litre engines 2019 or newer or older?How reliable is the transmission?

Im 57 now. And it amazes me how um Still growing in GODS will, for me. I would like to warn people about the 07 tacoma, tgere is a plastic tube that runs from the side of the thermostat housing, it runs to the back of the engine between the engine and the intake manifold , then splits in 2, 1 for heater core and a pre warmer for the throtal body. It ran hot 3 times. And its life has been cut short. Please beware Brothers and Sisters GOD Bless All!!!😇😁

I bought a Subaru brand new and the first month the navigation/radio locked up. After that had issues every other month for the three years I owned it. Got rid of it before warranty was up

Never underestimate the power of forgiveness, thank you for reminding me but I still men don't name their vehicles. Mahalo

Damn I never expected to cry over a Tacoma review lol

Tonka trucks rule! I wish Toyota would hire Tonka designers to mock-up their trucks. There are too many lines and crap. It's a truck, not a perfume bottle.

I never knew the dash came off like that & that easy... Maybe that's why it doesn't squeak

My 2023 Tacoma TRD off-road named Optimus prime because of the color blue crush

my update on my 2016 is i got the dreaded Timing cover leak with only 75k miles. The whole engine has to be removed to fix. 20 hours labor, $3400

Where is that road that goes through a creek? Looks like fun. I know there is one at the Lehigh Valley Zoo.

Thank you for this awesome review man, but most of all thank you for sharing the Bible verse. I needed that ❤

Thank you for this information bro! I am currently considering a tacoma my, and think I should pray to my God to find the right one, I would appreciate if you would intercede on my Behalf also. Thank you my bro! God bless!

Amen. God bless you.

If your sciatica returns, find a chiropractor that uses the Advanced Biostructural Correction technique, or ABC for short. I have DDD and they have helped me more than I could ever explain. The combo of a cortisone shot in a severely herniated disc, and ABC adjustments. I also started hanging / doing pull ups from a pull up bar, which provides traction on the discs and stretches the spine.

I had a 2007 Silverado ( cat eye body style) for over eight years and put over 100,000 miles on it and then I went and got a car. I got a Kia which I’ve had no complaints about the car but.. I really really miss having a truck even if I didn’t exactly need one anymore. I just love driving pick ups and I think after I’m done with my car if I can, I would love to get another truck and I was thinking about the Tacoma. I have never had a Toyota in my life. I’ve had Ford and Chevy but but not Toyota. Seems like a really good truck. Made in Texas. Toyota is reliable.
