2016 tacoma takes on Gold Mine Hill

Saw this earlier and thought you guys would want to check it out...did the truck make it up? You're going to have to watch it to find out!

Great video, I understand why he wanted to let the truck do the "work" but man would I love to see some more "umppfffhhh and throttle" LOL

 

Pretty badass

 

Yeah, I guess that goes to show how well the multi terrain select and crawl control work...would have been too easy probably, but that thing just crawled over it like nothing. Tires seemed to hold up pretty well with the snow.

 

Intense music. Tires make huge difference, like he said. Thanks for the video.

 

Meh, I feel like any decent 4WD paired with a decent driver could've done that.

 

Agreed, I feel like it's the driver and tires that aid the most in off road situations. Just surprised me how effortlessly the tacoma did it with snow on the ground, I've seen other gold mine hill climbs and some of them didn't make it up with no snow at all.

 

Glad to see a video come out showing the 3rd gen in the elements, and performing well.

 

Maybe I didn't hear but was he using crawl control or just normal 4WD?

 

A little more snow on gold mine hill would have been nice, like what the land cruiser had to go through in an earlier video of theirs.

 

Nah you would have heard it loud and clear. I have used it several times in different elements including snow. That shit it's loud however, works flawlessly.

 

Good to know thank you

 

Does Roman annoy the shit out of anyone else, or is it just me? ... That review they did of the 911 GTS was especially grating.

Edit: also, that Ram Power Wagon ... wtf Chrysler, did you just call up JC Whitney and tack on every piece of shit you could?

 

Hahah yeah I can see that...he seems sort of biased maybe in some of his reviews. It seems like he praises the ford raptor all the time lol.

 

The guy just seems to have no clue what he is talking about half of the time. I'm sure he's a decent enough guy in real life, but sometimes on the show I'm just left shaking my head at his comments ... I'm sure if I was on the show I'd be saying even dumber shit twice as often though. So who am I to criticize

This episode actually wasn't that bad, except when he acted like getting stuck in the snow was actually a big deal and a real problem lol. Come on, I know he's just joking around for the camera, but if you get stuck it's a great opportunity to show people how to get out of such situations not just crack a dumb joke ...

 

Did he actually drive up a hill in a 4wheel drive? Unreal. Maybe next time he can test it over a speed bump. That would be wicked!

 

So this guy has sausage fingers or what? He can't turn the volume knob without touching station 6. That was complaint 2 of 2. 1 of 2 being no disc rear brakes. Unbelievable.
