Do I REGRET buying my 2024 Toyota Tacoma?

I'm excited to share my top 5 likes and dislikes about my new 4th generation 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Overall, I'm thrilled with this new Tacoma. The standout feature for me is the powertrain. The low-end torque combined with the 8-speed automatic transmission makes it incredibly easy to drive. Whether I'm towing or off-roading, it performs outstandingly every time.

In addition to that, I'll be discussing the Carista EVO OBD2 scan tool, a fantastic device that lets you customize various features of your vehicle. One of the handy customizations I've made is turning off the seatbelt chime.

99% of People that are hating on this truck have never drove one or even sat in one.

That truck is hundred percent better than the old one of every way

When Car Play doesn't connect after remote starting, you don't need to fiddle with enabling it with screen taps, simply press the volume button and hold it for a second, the display will reboot and Car Play will be connected.

never doubt a toyota 4 cyl truck from back then to now

I had a 09 for 9 years v6, and this engine is far superior. Loving my 2024 Taco.

I love the Underground color I just got the 2025 Tacoma TRD Sport Supersonic Red color just got it last night and love it

[EricCannady]

300 miles in on our 24 TRD OR and LOVE the powertrain, seating position, and overall interior layout. HATE the bigger turning radius, feel like I am back in my old full size trucks, and the smaller fuel tank, really worried when I go to tow with it. Overall though its a positive upgrade from our 2020 TRD OR. I love driving it.

Another great video. Seen as high as 26 mpg on mine when traveling on highways. I dont feel like the smaller gas tank is that big a deal, only three gallon loss, but I tend to be more light footed around town so dont find myself at the gas station as often. My dte is showing close to 350 miles now when I fill up. So far no regrets on mine either. Much more comfortable and better drive than my 2021 OR I had.

Thank you for giving the answer up front. Immediate thumbs up for that.

I don’t know why everyone is hating on this truck. I have a 2022 with a V6 and a 24 and the 24 is way superior in power and speed. It is definitely a much better motor and transmission until you drive one Don’t hate on it

[RyanLarivee]

I love my 24 offroad manual. It is my 6th Tacoma. I traded in a Pro and still like the drive better

Pro tip, your dealer can turn the seat belt chimer off. All you got to do is ask. Don’t spend money on something that can be done for free.

Beautiful Taco! I’ve had my SR5 since late May and have put 5, 200 miles on it, loving every minute. I can relate to many of your comments. While I wish I had the tech and cameras that come with the TRD, my SR5 is fully loaded for its trim level and is awesome as well.

I find the MPG info a bit annoying and nonsensical, . I get all the warnings through the app but haven't had issues with the seatbelt beep even when my dog rides in the front. The "check the rear seats" alert confused me at first, but I realized it's a helpful reminder to ensure no child or pet is left behind. 😊

One feature I love is the smart key system. Just carrying the smart card, never having keys with me and being able to start and cool the car before getting in is fantastic. The app is pretty good too; at $15 a month, it’s well worth it.

I’ve added some great tires and wheel mods: LT285/70R-17 BFG KO3 C tires, METHOD MR707 17x8.5 +25 offset wheels—no lift, no rub, no poke. It looks clean and beautiful.

I get your point about the iPhone, CarPlay, and Toyota. I face the same issue, but it’s just because you’re connected to Toyota for remote start. You just need to reactivate Apple CarPlay since they share the same connection slot.

Sorry to hear about your paint issues. My wife has a Wrangler 4xe '22 in Sting Gray, and we also gave up trying to remove swirls and scratches. I have a Celestial Silver, and my paint looks pristine and better than day one. I applied ceramic myself and clean it regularly.

Great video and review! Keep up the awesome work.

Needs 24 Gals@ ⛽, maybe by 2027 They Improved Most Shortcommings.

Got my TRD OR at 7500 miles already, so much fun to drive

[gilbert]

I have the same color as you, I waxed it immediately, I used mothers spray on wax it's a ceramic coating, and that'll really help it and protect it

[spuzzum]

Good video. Nice to see you covering a lot of stuff that I haven't seen scouring YouTube. Most of the time it's the same old stuff. 👍

[Gambibly]

Upgraded from an 01 4Runner for the TRD Sport and it's a really awesome truck. Driver assist is wild shit lol.

Almost 60K sold in the 1st Q of 2025. Way back in 2nd place at 26K units sold is the Chevrolet Colorado.

My God, the mountains in the background look amazing! Are you in Utah, or maybe the Colorado area? Good video man! That underground color looks sick on the Taco!
