45:00 Which Midsize Truck is BEST?

[darksi]

Great vid. Very thorough. These young men are really doing well.

[MattSchmader]

Thank you for showing underneath the trucks, it’s frustrating how few reviews do that

[Qmocean]

Tommy's hoodie makes me think he's gonna start singing "you and me baby ain't nothing but mammals..."

[ivnvz]

I’m liking the Frontier the more I see it.

[Blue-moon]

I came here for the Frontier as I own a Pro 4x. But TFL did brilliantly in reviewing these trucks, especially under the vehicles.

[justaname]

I own a 23’ frontier pro 4x. I’d say my experience with the off road capabilities in the beginning were decent. However my experiences were instantly transformed when I swapped out the stock Hankooks for BFG Ko2’s. The locker does help for sure, but the difference the tires made was wild. I will also say the Hankooks are absolutely fine for the vast majority of driving most will do though.

[viperm]

The frontier is such a under rated little tuck

[rafterktbcattle]

@4:58 The Tacoma probably said, "the last time I went into 4 low, I broke."

[jholub]

Thanks for throwing the Ridgeline in there. I’ve never taken mine off road but cool to see how it would handle itself on a light trail. Also nice to see its AWD system is capable in conditions I will find myself in…snow. Love ya’lls vids. Keep up the good work!

[danbelden]

Glad to see you didn’t snap the front differential in the Toyota again.

[rmps]

That Frontier has the old Pathfinder's wheels!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[cactusmanbwl]

I have 20 ranger and it has a physical button for the locker and doesn't have any of these issues with the modes. Seems like they went backwards by adding all these stupid extra screens.

[jbandt]

Gotta say the honda is very impressive. I know it's not really going to to do anything extreme but it'll do everything 90% of people need it to. And do it in comfort and better fuel economy.

[IPGAuto]

With the options in this segment, for outright reliability, I’d go Nissan Frontier Pro4X. Good ol NA motor. Their VQ motors have always been solid motors. The VQ38DD is no different.

[rodneycj]

This was a very comprehensive test comparison and I enjoyed watching!!! You guys helped me make my decision on my new truck which is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road ( bronze oxide). Keep up the good work fellas we appreciate your efforts!

[rafterktbcattle]

Thank you for doing all these in depth tests. It puts well deserved pressure on manufactures to build quality vehicles for the consumers. I'm very convinced vehicle manufacturers watch these comparisons. Thank you TFL family 👍 With that being said, I hope TFL is compensating Andre for using his personal truck.

[gregc]

You would think with today's technology Toyota would make their four wheel drive system better, it's 2024 you still have to pull forward and back up pull forward and back up to get it to engage or disengage 🤣

[scotto]

Gladiator - I know sometimes you don't have control on what you get, but a willy's with hard top and rear locker, and the same off road esc can be had for 15k less. Also, it says a lot at Jeep Safari- they send you up a hill in a Mojave knowing people are going to hit the underside and the jeep reps are 'whatever'. When you see the test courses manufacturers throw at you, the level of confidence reflects the level that the developers expect the vehicle to perform at. Compare the Gladiator intro events to the intro events for everyone else except the Chevy (the desert race course-that was impressive).

[Travisj]

Hey the Toyota didn't break this time 😅

[zodac]

I have a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave and you can engage the rear locker in 4x4H. You have to put it in neutral, hit the offroad+ and make sure that traction control is turned off before you try to engage it.
