You should do an MPG test. Chin on vs Chin off.

7:44 for the slip test it would be cool to see you put some kind of sticker or mark on the tire, to see how much it actually rotates before it activates the brake and sends power to the other wheel. It looked like a 1/4 turn on that test which is really good

Nice to know that saving money and getting the Sr5 version still comes with serious off road performance. Would be a great truck for driving on the beach for surf fishing, etc.

I like seeing the standard trucks 4WD system, we all know the TRD with lockers will do ok. But the regular is what I want to see!

[KenLyns]

Toyota mentioned in earlier videos that A-Trac is now in all 4x4 trims and engages without a switch. Consistent with what's seen here.

[KyleBusch]

It would be great to see these slip tests for new full size trucks that don’t have lockers.

[TheCarterMan]

Great video for the slip test. Would love to see one with Andre’s Trail Boss

[gdelcore]

Seriously though....been subscribed to this channel for so many years. Great job Tommy and crew. Very professional, thorough, and enjoyable to watch.

King Tacoma king 👑. Best truck in the world in any segment period. Gorgeous ❤️

The strange "recovery" point on the drivers side is called a T hook slot and is specifically for tying the vehicle down for transport. They are ubiquitous on imported cars that come in on a boat. While strong, it is't there as a recovery point. That's what the U loop is for. There should be several more T hook slots on the back somewhere, maybe the frame. I saw you mention more recovery points in the hitch so maybe that is the location. A T hook is a T shaped device where the top of the T fits in that slot and the whole device is rotated 90 degrees so the device is locked in. A ratchet strap or winch cable is attached to the other end.

Mr. Thomas Mica, that is the most thorough, informative, impartial, and professional vehicle review I think I have ever seen. Hand to god. I usually look to Alex Dykes when I want a professional review but buddy, you just blew him out of the water. You have become such a professional driving force at TFL, all the while maintaining your great personality and appropriate sense of humor, it really makes me proud to be a TFL viewer. When your Dad is finally ready to hang up his spurs (and rants), TFL is going to be in top notch hands for as long as I can imagine you running the company. Absolute, unqualified excellence. I will probably never own a Taco in my life, but I was in the car business for 25 years before retiring due to injury, and still spend every day hoovering up all the information I can on cars and trucks and the industry, and now I know everything I need to know about that model and trim level. You, Sir, are an absolute Professional. Great review, incredible job, keep up the good work.

Nice that Toyota put a snow plow on it from factory.

[InvestBetter.]

Translation: 4H is for wet road conditions. Tops out at a level dirt/gravel road or driveway.
4L for everything else.

Did Jay Leno design that chin spoiler?

[richardoaks]

So glad you guys out the vehicles on a lift now. Love these details because the manufacturers don’t talk too much about this stuff or show us what’s changed etc.

[Soh]

Honestly I fully expected the Tacoma to fail on the slip test and the off road course. What Toyota is able to accomplish with just a low range and grabbing the brakes on slipping tires is really truly impressive.

[CraigSmith]

With Toyotas history with frame rust I would still opt for a coating of Fluid Film.

[seagullsbtn]

It's more expensive, but the F150's speed sensitive front spoiler is a better solution. Dealers should keep replacement Taco spoilers in stock. One curb and they're toast.

[CanadianOffroadx]

This is awesome. Love this ! What i see is perfect. No extra buttons to push
On the easy trail go 4 hi for most. When you dont get enough. Switch to 4 low. No different when you turn your lockers on and off for certain situations. Just need a full arb skidplate setup and real tires. Limited is good to go! Oh and of course take off the chin.

The first thing I noticed on the new Tacoma from the reveal was that exhaust pipe so far back. Just looks off to me. It’s tucked in much better on the Tundra. Like they didn’t bother shortening the length for the Tacoma.
