You didn’t ask him the hardest question which is why is it $10K more than a Raptor and ZR2 ??

[DavidFernandez-scws]

Needed a midsized. Got a 2023 frontier pro 4x with every single option CPO with 7k miles on it for 34k.
Absolutely love it. Actually waited for these to come out before I made my decision. 65k? Toyota made the choice easy for me.

Was listening rather than watching this video. Totally thought that was Nathan with a cold

[jerryczarski]

As an average worker in the USA, this is beyond my purchasing power. But I can dream.

[Hengsha]

those damper seats are so stupid when they open the back door and you see the 3 inches of legroom haha

[thinde]

4 “hard” questions and no explanation for the front axle going out on your Tacoma from the chief engineer? What a lost opportunity.

[billb]

Its great to see the truck from an Engineering point of view .

[keenanap]

The price is bewildering when a ZR2 can be had for 15k less and a Raptor or AT4x for ~8k less. Hell, you can get a respectively optioned Tremor, Trail Boss, Ram Rebel, or an AT4 optioned at this price point. Companies are just lost in our economy, and somebody needs to do hard hitting journalism on it. (PS, love the channel, just would love to see them challenged on their positions.)

Being a toyota truck enthusiast used to mean getting an affordable truck that would last longer than the competition. All the people complaining about aging platforms and not enough tech, well here you go and now the prices reflect that too. Congrats, good looking trucks but the prices are ridiculous. Making the Hybrid optional not required on pro and trail hunter would have been nice. the Hybrid system is a big turn off for a lot of people and not really even necessary. We will keep our 22' 4 runner.

Great video, thx!
The great confusion for me is... the price.

[tylersrubar]

Power tailgate is silly on a midsize truck. Extra cost that’s not necessary. Fine with dampened tailgate.

[Jojo-nicg]

Toyota moves their Tacoma plant 100 percent to Mexico with cheaper labor then puts a 4 cylinder turbo with a battery in for a power plant and asks 10K more for there trucks, come on Toyota we are not stupid people no wonder why the dealerships are filling up with Tacomas!

[TREVORJB]

This guy sounds like he's related to Nathan, LOL

[TheZacdunson]

Im just mad that no one has the balls to tell them how much they pissed everyone off with a 4banger turbo

[secondcreekworkshop]

Where is our Ford Maverick competitor? Tacoma and Tundra are to big. We need the Toyota Stout, STAT.

[zdeki]

Zillion dollar truck for its class and still hood stick in 2024 😂

Love these interviews with engineers. It helps with understanding why they did certain things e.g. about the engine cover missing. Also when talking to engineers about something they are more factual, and tend not to add marketing fluff about why something is done a certain way.

[HarryKuloh]

That's so cool! I didnt realize Nathan was a Toytota engineer.

[tunnelvisionday]

Omg. I've thought about how sway bar disconnects worked for years.. But I never saw a video on it until now.. And wow.. It is sooo much simpler than I had designed it in my mind... Jeesh.. Thanks tfl

[TwinTurboToyota]

I agree with Roman on the tiny volume knob. My 22 Highlander xse has it and it’s awkward to use.
