The no clutch start button is to allow you to crank over the engine in gear to allow you to use the starter motor to crawl the vehicle while in 4Low to get it moving. Comes in handy after you've stalled and need to get moving on difficult terrain without breaking traction. Old off-roaders trick...
-
I've watched three other 2024 Tacoma review videos today and this one is by far the most comprehensive and well done. Well done, DST team!
-
As equiped it will be pushing $50k. With dealer mark ups at first $55k. Loaded up will be $55k plus dealer mark up. $60k for a mid sized truck. We have officially moved to crazyville. 🥴
-
Toyota needs to offer the manual through all the models.
-
About the No Clutch Start - 2 valuable uses of that button. One, starting the truck with the truck in neutral without climbing in to press the clutch, saving time and mechanical wear. Two, you can actually use the starter as a way to get the truck unstuck by starting the truck in gear without engaging the clutch. The is an old school technique that isn't really all that useful today with the typical starter / clutch interlock safety features.
-
The manual transmission is the way to go. I always say if I have the option to buy one with stick that's the route I'm gonna take
-
The no clutch start is actually really nice for passenger who gets in and wants to start the truck. It’s also really nice they put it in center instead of by drivers door. I use mine all the time when working on truck and don’t wanna climb in to start it
-
I've never seen anyone more obsessed with different modes than this guy....
-
Great review of the 24’ model. It seems the extra $1,100 for the automatic and additional features is well worth it. I wonder if they left the manual without sound dampening so the driver could hear the engine for shifting? I’ve driven manuals for a little over 20 years and appreciate hearing the revs and the overall feel of the vehicle to reach ideal shift points.. just my $.02
-
At least with a manual you don’t have to worry about anybody stealing it. Most people can’t drive a manual.
-
Thank you Toyota for keeping the manual. Now please let me buy one!
-
Wish I could give you two thumbs up for reviewing a STANDARD transmission ❤️
-
Hey Ryan, It’ll be fun to watch you test the new Taco in the snow and on your course in a few months
-
Great review Ryan! While I am not 100% in love with this new design or the engine choice, I do like the D/C sway bar option and the Hi-Lift jack points. I liked your editing here with the designer explaining things as you brought it up during the drive. "Toyota does not trust me" LOL Nice. I am with you on transmission choice. And I liked that you specifically explained the extra benefit of the CC. The visuals and audio are very good. Professional on par job. Thanks.
-
True technical review rather than just doing interior, exterior and driving impressions.
-
TFL, and DST are where I go for my Reviews. I knew Ryan would deep dive into it, and getting a comparison between the manual and the auto was an absolute treat! Thank you Ryan! Can wait for you to get it on your course and do your own review on your own terms.
-
JUST drove the 2024 TRD Off Road Taco. Great truck. Surprised by the power of that turbo 4. Great tech, amazing seats, still kinda small back seat. (I’m 6’2”). But….. dealer in Fresno Calif wanted $8000 markup. No way!
-
Excellent video! Your video is informative and put together well. Other channels seem to rush through the content.
-
Always a good day to watch more DSTV videos
-
This is how off-road reviews should be done. No fluff just stuff
