I can remember in the 1970's when we called Toyotas rice burners. The Kubota tractors were also thought to be junk. Years later when they were still running, people started realizing they lasted longer than American made tractors.

Scott the kinda of guy to not let anyone live their life with the vehicle they want.

I bought a 2021 Tacoma SR5 4 door V6 with the 6 foot bed. The first thing I noticed about the truck was the ride quality. It rides smooth as silk, no road noise...a really comfortable truck. It has all the bells and whistles on it (that I actually want), and it will tow a boat or a small camper trailer with no problem. I am now 63 years old, and I doubt seriously that I will ever have to buy another truck.

The 4 cyl is much easier to work on though. There’s a lot of room in the engine bay 😆

Scotty’s son: Dad ! I brought a new Car !!!
Scotty: You’re an endless moneypit

If I had a dollar for everytime Scotty got pissed . I'd be rich !

Great little review Scotty. Thanks! BTW, 3rd generation "gear hunting" can be eliminated with a performance tune. Had the OTT performance tune done on our TRD Off Road 4x4 V6 automatic a couple of weeks ago and it shifts perfectly, not to mention immediately improved throttle response and even better acceleration when ECT is engaged. No effect on mileage either. Best money I've ever spent. Now it runs the way it should have from the factory. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

I bought a 2nd gen 2008 tacoma TRD 4 door last May for $11, 000 with 106k miles on it at an auction. After watching your videos over the years I just felt your an honest guy who’s knows his stuff, you have a lot of good to say about Toyota. It now has 128k as my daily driver and I’ll never get rid of this truck. Gas mileage isn’t great, but this a truck and I’d trust it to get me down any road. It’s black and it’s still a good looking truck with some minor cosmetic mods and a fresh wash people have thought it was a newer model.

Imagine if his son came home with a Tesla.

It's an adaptive transmission so it'll smooth out the more you drive it. I noticed a big difference around 5500 miles. Now at 15k I have virtually no issues.

[johnnigri]

I was on the fence between the 4 and 6 cylinder abs wound up going with the 6 for the reasons Scotty said. I’m really happy with the truck and I’ve owned several Toyota trucks in the past.

[Manlixer]

That transmission "Gear Hunt" is solved with aftermarket tune. I've got Valley runner tune-it is like driving car with different transmission. Engine response is sharper.

"My son just bought a new Toyota Tacoma and he is an endless money pit" great video as usual Scotty

[calebroberts]

Scotty is the perfect example of doing what you are passionate about and it working out …

Bought my first Tacoma last week, 2023, and I love it. HOWEVER, the auto tranny is a little wonky in my opinion. I wish I could actually find a manual tranny in VT but it’s like finding a unicorn

[angel.lif]

Imagine he just started recording without his son knowing he’s recording his truck

[unclebob]

Looks like real gauges, cable park brake and no cyl deactivate
Nice truck.

My 2009 Prerunner SR5 Tacoma has the same sticker. The paint, interior, and mechanics are still in phenomenal shape. 140K miles. Not even broken in yet!

[jamesfrady]

I have the 2021 four door long bed. Army green. I love it. I don’t love the payments, but at the time used ones were literally more expensive than ordering a new one and waiting on it for three months. I think this may be the last truck that I ever own. I also still have a 2004 2wd Tacoma with 425, 000 miles that runs and drives perfectly. Tacomas are the best made trucks, period!
