I believe these are all still pre production presser vehicles. Did any of them say they were reviewing production vehicles?

 

The Throttle House review said it was a pre-production vehicle so I imagine they all are. Car and Driver also didn't a complete instrumented test so that also suggests the press vehicles aren't the final version.

But considering it goes on sale in a few weeks, it can't be that different from the production models.

 

The Truck King review was made in northern Canada.
I can't imagine Toyota sending a pre production vehicle there and then a few weeks later have a true production Tacoma to be reviewed again.
There must have been a "Press Release Date" as all these videos appeared within an hour or so of each other.

 

The marketing director probably set a time for them.

 

This is interesting:



Also the turbo noises are very nice:

These “reviews” crack me up.

I look forward to unvarnished owner reviews.

 

I think Toyota did a great job. Truck looks badass. I’m kinda regretting my 2023 sr5 third gen purchase 2 months ago lol the 3rd gen now looks and feels like a 2.5 gen taco dating back to 2005

 

The Throttle House video has surprisingly high production value, trying to capture a hint of Chris Harris / Top Gear vibes. It's watchable for entertainment value.

 

Those guys are pretty funny. I only watched the first minute or two, but will watch all later. Drinking some good Ukrainian vodka at the moment after a long day.

 

Damn it is looking good! Can't wait to mown my lawn with it!

 

I wonder if Toyota allowing reviewers to release their reviews on a Tuesday was intentional. Taco Tuesday.

 

I am sure it was....but wondering if they limited what could be released. I did not see any Limited trim reviews get posted.

 

I think they just wanted them to focus on the twin turbo engine and a couple of the suspension’s. They did not release a higher end interior to any of the reviewers. At least not that I’ve seen so far.
