If i didnt say it before, this is a good vid, i totally understand the points you make about the IMT. Was wondering why Toyota did this. You made it make sense. thanks

holy moly - every manual car reviewer needs to take a page out of your book.

I own 2024 tacoma with manual transmission and it shifts smooth as silk. Plenty of power. Also tacoma handles and turns very tight & solid . By far the best manual transmission i have ever driven.

Toyota has definitely made a few good manuals lately and its wonderful

Thank You! My husband and I never had any intention of trading off our 2021 SR automatic, but last time we had it serviced, a new 2024 manual off road GREY TACO was at the dealership and we drove it just while we were waiting 'for kicks'! Ha!!! We're waiting for OUR Supersonic Red Off Road to arrive any day...we're both 'manual trans truckees', and we ONLY drive RED!! We've settled for autos over the years, our last manual a Subaru Forester - so hard to find manuals - Can't Wait! This video really helped! And, by the way, we're retired farmers, both turning 75 this September. 😊GOTACO...

Great video! Keep 'em coming!!

your review over this truck is a real driving review, most of other youtuber are not in depth like u did. Great channel

Just picked up my 4th Gen. SR 4X4 6 M/T - love it! Started driving sticks in 1963 - you're video really helped on this new 'stuff'. Thanks!

Outstanding vids on the 2024 Tacoma. Very helpful to see reviews that are more than the usual walk arounds. Having had a 5 speed 1999 Dakota your demonstrations really helped to understand the technical improvements in this new truck. Thanks!

Nice video. I plan to buy a manual transmission Tacoma within the next 6 to 12 months. I drove a lot of stick-shift vehicles between 1975 and 2003 but haven't owned a manual in 20 years. Really looking forward to it! But, I am not "too proud" to admit that automated rev matching on down-shifts might be a really nice feature. I really like your comments about rev hang -- matches what I had figured out from other channels that if we just shift slowly it should be smooth.

I test drove a manual taco just for fun and was impressed with the gearing .. I’ve been driving manual since I got my license around 98.. but I’m tired of manual lol ended up with taco sport and loving it.. very good review sir 👍🏼.. oh yeah love the rev match and the extra help.

I laughed for a good bit over the rev hang segment! My last 4 vehicles were manual most recently a 20 STI. Tuned all the rev hang out of that, but I don't plan on doing that to the Tacoma I just picked up. I really appreciated the "slow down; Let it marinate". Great video!

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing!

Great review I will get manual definitely

Bro, idk how I found your channel, but I get Tedward/Tropher vibes. Very high quality, entertaining POV reviews. You have my Sub!

Solid truck, makes me appreciate my 02 WRXs driving experience

Great video, very informative. I'm getting the manual anyways and I'll deal with the rev hang as you suggest.

Rob you make it sound like your enjoying a fine wine or brandy at the gentlemen club.

Thank you for your information. All I wanted to know was, what Speeds, RPM's come with each Gear. Simple info, but I could not find it anywhere. God bless you. It took somebody that loves a Manual Trans, to tell those who like manual transmission, the info that is important to them. I am now a subscriber.

I owned a 23 TRD sport manual and it was fun while it lasted. Living in Jacksonville with it was tough to keep up. Traded it in for a Titan, love that too. Great review

I appreciate your videos. Mine is coming in exactly 1 month. Can’t wait. Question. Can you go over the tow mode in the next video. That is the one thing I am most curious about. I understand we have the capability but I am wondering if there is a mode. I understand you can program different trailers but I was just curious before I received it. Obviously you know better than I do but our manuals don’t have the tow button on the 2024. Thanks again!

My 2018 tacoma is a manual and I love it. Good on Toyota for keeping it in this generation. I wish the new Tundra came in a Manual.

Superb information! Thank you. Not too many posts on the manual tranny. Up in the Great white north if I want a 5Ft bed in the sport I have to get a stick. Thanks Toyota Canada…Is it a comfortable unit to drive for a 5’4 person? Wondering on the clutch length and also if the shifter is in a comfortable reach? You seemed to have been at your arms reach going into 3rd. Thanks again,

Can’t wait for my manual taco to show up. Dealer told me this week that it should be in end of June

Nice video! I just got a 3rd gen with a manual and you describe the rev hang perfectly. I’m sad to see that it is carrying into the 4th gen. I’ve gotten used to driving with it but getting up to speed fast reminds me of the flaw. I’m planning on getting the OTT tune soon. I’ve heard a lot of reviews saying that it helps with rev hang. Maybe they will come out with a tune for the new gen tacomas too

I hope that Toyota offers manual transmission for the 2 dr 4wd Tacoma within the next 2 model years .

Great video, not sure if I missed it, but does anybody knows how responsive is acceleration, is there a lag and how bad? In relationship to automatic and also to previous generations.

Every manual I ever owned, I could take off without gas. That's how my dad thought me and how I thought my son. It really helps learning the feel of the clutch.

I always wanted to see how a manual works with Adaptive Cruise Control.

I’m not sure about the Tacoma but for a lot of vehicles you can get a tuner module to disable the rev hang

Great video! Does Sport Mode deactivate the rev hang?

Trading in my 2016 focus st for one of these, factory clutch after 230000kms so honestly, I’ll be used to the rev hang lol

Going to try slowing down my shifts on my 3rd gen. 9k miles in and I still have days where I almost regret buying the manual because of the rev hang. Then again I’m coming from 90s manuals so maybe that’s just ingrained in me

You should make a video how you can possibly stall with this truck

Does the electronic parking brake automagically engage when shutting off the engine?

Do you feel like the lower redline due to NVH was justified by Toyota? It's a really interesting choice how they made it redline nearly 1000rpm lower...the rev hang and the odd low redline can be addressed with tuning most likely. Just curious if you feel their reasoning of vibration was justified

Are there any concerns on the longevity of the clutch in your opinion with IMT?

I see you have the big 14" screen there, not sure if this is a canada thing, but I don't see it available here as an option, which is wack, but I def am leaning towards manual, always wanted to own manual, learnt it as a kid and loved it but never owned my own! I just wish it had more features like the TRD off road Premuim like cameras and 14" screen

So on the Truck King review he blew up his clutch. His dad went from 5 to 1 according to Toyota. I just can't believe anyone would do that. Do you feel this transmission might make it easier to make that kind of catastrophic mistake?

Does the rev hang effect acceleration, say you accidentally cut someone off and ya need to get through the gears quick?

I saw that the bronco manual has a crawl gear. They missed the mark on that:( however, they still offer manual so I’m still a fan!

That thing does shimmy

We need a 0-60 mph while slow rolling your shifting - video. What’s it like to go full throttle then back off gas as you approach red line then slow roll your shift..

Which dealer did you get this one from? Most I have seen are SR5 or SR?

my 2004 mustang has rev hang... but not that much wow. And yeah the only way to not get a lurch is smooth and slow, its frustrating when you are trying to get moving quick.

That’s the reason I don’t buy manuals anymore, they are not fun anymore due to the Rev Hang. I sold my last Civic SI due to Rev Hang within the first year.

What "Mode" are you driving in? Eco, Normal, Sport...

Thanks for making this video. I’m torn between the automatic and manual

i woudlnt keep in 3rd gear in low RPM, you are risking engine entering LSPI when pressing the trottle

I have Corolla 2017 Manual and the same problème with revhang im shifting slower 😢. I know there ist a way to Change that configuration i saw once on a youtube video but cannot fins it anymore sadly😢. Hey Toyota dont let the manual go!! The are made for real divers!! 😂

Doesn't all that manually shifting make it harder to talk and text? 😅

bro casually doing 60 in a residential neighborhood lol

That rev hang seems excessive! The whole reason I want a manual is because I want to drive a little spiritedly, not cruise around like grandpa heading to his Wednesday night Bingo.

Interesting, the manual transmission for non- stick driver's 🙄
