2024 Toyota Tacoma Review // Return Of The Mid-Size King

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma ($46,950 starting in Canada, $34,700 starting in the US) is a brand new iteration of the popular mid-size pickup. New for this model year are several different trims - each customized for their intended purpose down to suspension options and features. Two engine choices will be made available, both hybrid and gasoline with a 2.4L turbo 4-cylinder. The non-hybrid trims make a strong 278 horsepower and 317 lb ft of torque, with a maximum available towing capacity of 6500 lbs. But how is it to drive? And is a mid-size truck all the truck that most people truly need? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. And then subscribe, silly.

"why do they call them 4x4 and not just 16?" Love it!!

You can definitely tell Toyota lifted its embargo. Just got 8 notifications for this truck's debut. Of course, I started with the definitive car channel.

James' search history was hilarious. You guys always hit it out of the park.

[CarlizWang]

How does a YouTube channel have higher production quality than the likes of Amazon and BBC? TH, you are amazing!

What I find amazing is that one day, all these cars we see coming out today we will see in a used car lot in 20 years and they'll be the same as seeing cars and trucks from the 90s and 00s in those same lots now. We will still say, "look how far we've come".

I replayed the fall over 5 times and I still can't tell if it was scripted.

[roboticskybeast]

I legitimately almost spit out my coffee all over my office when I read“Do cars run out of honk” in the list of Google searches during the intro from laughing so hard. Those were genuinely hysterical and made my day!!! Plus your reviews are legitimately the best and most honest out there… you guys are number 1.

[Sethhall]

Amazing camera work on Thomas's fall and even better on your roll recovery! Seamless!

[Nathdood]

Probably the best personality duo since old-school Motor Trend with Camisa.
You two are always a joy to watch

[gunzyb]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

Currently my favorite show 🎉👏👍

Love these guys and I pray this show grows into old age

[jacksonmccormick]

I hope Billy has learned from his mistakes, I mean James learned that you don’t drive with old tires in a Ford GT.

[quinnthompson]

4 cylinder turbo, what a time. Im glad to see the manual option sticking around for another generation!

[rubenpinerofuentes]

You guys do a tremendous job of presenting cars with context and making it fun at the same time. Thanks!!

[antibrevity]

I'm glad this was discussed as I've been completely baffled at why "full-size" pickup trucks keep getting bigger when they were already the biggest consumer vehicles on the road. No one needed a bigger 1/2-ton truck, so why did they buy them? If you needed more power and towing capacity, you could simply buy a 3/4 or 1-ton truck instead of larger and larger "1/2-ton" trucks which have completely outgrown that classification. "Stupid" is exactly the right word, so thanks for that.

[jbrier]

I replayed and paused (a couple times) the intro just to read the search history, you guys never disappoint!

[DasWauto]

I’m really glad you showed how Harrison fits. I’m 6’5” and I put an order in for a TRD Sport+ (manual) a few weeks ago to replace my Ranger. Hopefully the ergonomics for the third pedal and shifter aren’t horrific for tall people like the previous gen. From what I’ve seen here, I’m cautiously optimistic.

[MitchDenham]

As an Australian, those prices are mind blowing, compared to what we pay locally for our similar-ish vehicles.

[Hypemedia]

Love the turbo wastegate flutter takes me back to when everyone in Australia had a Nissan Skyline

[geoffl.]

That slip at the begginning was perfect. Great recovery/acting!

[Drewster]

I just bought a 2024 tacoma TRD Off road, all these things said they is legit. Especially the drive experience, this thing legitimately rips! Its surprisingly fun
