That Tacoma is just a timeless design. Beautiful.

i love TFL and appreciate that they have a consistent course to compare things on now, i know how much easier that must be for them, but please don't fully drop the great Colorado trails and scenery you guys have highlighted so well in the past.

Idk why the tundra front looks so bad here, everytime I see it in person it’s actually pretty good

[dougreed]

I just purchased a new tundra offroad. I love it with some compliments the screen is difficult but works well once it's paired to the phone. The sensors are a little to cautious, and the no rear step is annoying. I love the Tacoma also, I just needed the extra room for the kids so Tundra took my money. Both are excellent vehicles.

[shazmodeus]

seeing the Tacoma and Tundra side by side really highlights just how bad that Tundra front end looks.

[amazinggrace]

I have had two tundras (2008 double cab sr5 and 2014 limited crewmax; all 4x4) I finally opted for a 2020 Tacoma off-road. A lot Smaller for sure but I’m loving it so far.

[jabroni]

Tundra over Tacoma all day for me. It might not be AS capable off road but it’s plenty capable. The extra room and power over the Taco make it an easy win. Price difference isn’t much either.

[fabulousoffroaddesigns]

I agree. The hill top is a great demonstration of break over angle, and the sharp corner is a way to show the difference between a good turning circle and a 5 point turn. It demonstrates how too long can be much worse then too wide.

4wd was not needed on a single obstacle there.

[shmurty]

The trd pro should come with better off road tires, that’s all I need to say

Actually, the Tacoma TRD Pro is a $50, 000 truck with a $7, 000 dealer rapeage adjustment....making both of these vehicles the same cost. Thanks Toyota! Greed!

The haters will watch a 25 minute TFL video, complain about it in the comments, then watch another TFL video. Keep up the good work, guys. The new property is awesome 🤘

[dansclub]

You should make an impossible course and measure off road worthiness based on how far the vehicles can go before getting stuck.

[davidstinson]

Toyota was built on the small pickup and nothing changed since then! Always Tacoma!!😀

[Nitroscion]

The real trails in are more entertaining then the course you guys made. I didn’t learn much from this test. Please, go back to real off-road tests. Thanks.

[craigchadwick]

You guys need to make those hills more challenging.

To all those calling the gen 3 tacoma a slog or the engine has no power lol. For my 17 trd orsb I can tell first hand and their are easy and not to expensive fix or mods or what ever you choose to call them. Absolutely nothing wrong with the engine and or transmission, but it's the tune with them that's the issue I went with kd maxx pro tune problem solved in low end torque issues, and you actually improve mpg. Funny why toyota themselves didn't do it right the first time lol, but atleast someone else did. Another issue people complain about the seating position again another quick fix I went with some seat jackers now for me at 5'9" or 5'10" height seems to help me to feel more support with my legs especially while driving long distances. Some complain the interior is so out dated I don't think so with mine, but than again mine did come with both the upgraded tech, and tow package plus some other upgrades the previous owner had purchase for it. I bought it when it was almost 2yrs old and 13 000 miles on it I can only wonder why the previous owner got rid of it, but probably because of the two issues I both seen and felt my self. I still remember first driving it to AZ for the first time and flooring it going up hills the dang thing didn't want to go pass 50 mph. But after I took it into the dealership and they updated the firmware for the tune it fixed it kinda of but I can tell it still was lacking a bit and not allowing itself to perform at its peak performance. So of course I did what most I'm sure did and deactivated both my trac. Stability control completely by holding it down for a few longer sec. And activating my famous ect button. And yes the truck would performed much better but also at the expense of using more fuel of course. But with that new tune I don't even have to deactivate anything, and if I do use my ect at times it really makes a huge difference. Hope this info helps some of you guys out.

I wish you guys would just drive them in 4WD without all of the computer gizmos engaged. I would like to see how they perform just by the seat of the pants. I think the computer stuff should be reserved for when you absolutely can't make it through an obsticle on your own.

Would love to see a Lexus GX470 in a video video like this and maybe a land cruiser

[alecschrader]

Let's make no mistake, the best off road Toyota is a Land Cruiser, which would include the 4Runner (essentially a Prado). Then it's a toss up between the Taco and the Tundra. Bottom line double cab trucks the wheel base is just way to long unless you're lifting significantly.
