I agree. The naturally aspirated Tundra and Tacoma are legendary. Big mistake to not at least offer it. Well said Scotty.

[manuelrivas]

Toyotas new marketing target is the kids that don’t know and don’t care about all the potential issues turbo are known for.

[ThomasKing]

Screw turbos, give me naturally aspirated any day.

I’m keeping my 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport with a 4.0 V6. I bought it new, and it has over 146, 000 miles and still runs like new. 👍

[Cybersawz]

Love my 2003 Tundra with the 4.7L V8. Bought it new, ZERO problems other than maintenance. Michigan truck with a solid frame, and at 107K, just getting broken in! It's garaged, and still looks new!

I’m an American living in Philippines, Scotty. Just bought a new Hilux J model, 4x4, MT.
About $21, 000 USD out the door. Only option I bought was a bedliner, for just under $400.
It has a 2GD-FTV, 2400cc, Diesel engine. Manufactured in Thailand. Even though it’s the base model, I’m really enjoying it.

Twin turbos equals 4 times the maintenance, 4 times the cost and unreliability.

Scotty, as usual, speaks pure Truth. Had a manual Tacoma with 4.0 V6 - great truck. Have a 2nd Gen Tundra with 5.7 V8 - truck perfection.

Talk about a failure, went to a Ford dealership to get my dad’s truck worked on and we looked at trucks on the lot while waiting. They had some F-150 Lightnings on the lot. $95k for the truck and it only had a 300 mile range. Meanwhile a V8 was parked behind it. $63k and 513 mile range.

After you released this video I went out and bought a 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro with a 6 speed manual, wanted to have one of the last great Tacomas, Thanks, couldn't be happier!

[Bald-Tires]

All Toyota needed to do was keep the 6 cylinder and change the 6 speed slush box to an 8 speed or 10 speed transmission. The mileage and drivability quirks is because of the 6 speed transmission. Another idea is aluminum hood and doors as less weight equals more mpg as well. Hey, what do I know as an engineer. I must be wrong...

[cruzvlogs]

I have the 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD 4x4 in ARMY GREEN. Paid an arm and a leg for it, but I’m glad I did. I agree that this is the last generation for reliability for the Tacos. There was no need to change what is not broken in Tacoma’s (engine, rear drum brakes).

[adamdelagarza]

Much agreed Scotty. The simple fact that tundra went to v6 was a deal killer. Good thing I’m gonna buy used at cheaper price lol

[toobdogs]

I agree Scotty, they should at least offer V6 option for Tacomas ….as well as V8 options for Tundras.

[rar]

He is spot on. V6 turbos in the Tundra are already blowing. Keeping my V6 4runner.

[DarinTadlock]

He gets 30 MPG on the highway and does not use Cruise control. Yeah, I'm going to need some proof!

[jimmylim]

I just bought me my own 23 Taco-I drive very carefully to save gas, the most MPGs I've gotten with my V6 Taco was 26.3 MPGs

[mariosantiago]

The other Tacoma from 2005 to 2015 was the best transmission on those trucks. Automatic transmission

[Doc]

I purposefully bought my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs for the 3.5L Naturally Aspirated (NA) V6 engine.
Historically a Turbo simply doesn’t last as long as a NA engine
