These two hope it feels more like the Tacoma than the Land Cruiser!

How will the all-new 2025 4Runner drive and feel like on the road? That's the question David and Stephen (‪@TruckKing‬) answer as they drive the new Tacoma TRD Pro through some off-road mountain roads. They make some compelling predictions based on the driving experience of the Tacoma TRD Pro - but they also talk about other Toyota SUVs and trucks throughout this video.

I'm tired of listening to influencers. I'll know when I drive one if it'll meet my needs or not. I don't make decisions based on social media people and their "reviews". They all sound the same.
