2024 Tacoma Trailhunter Testing & Review | Everything's New, All at Once | XOVERLAND's Trailhunter Special EP1

[Independence Overland]

Gotcha, thanks. I'm happy that they gave XO access to the TH. It's nice to see them putting it through some more real off-road scenarios. I'm hoping they get into some of the specs/details that we haven't seen yet as well, which I expect. I'm a huge XO fan. At least I have their videos to look forward to each week until launch. The wait is killing me... Quick comment on something you posted on a different thread. I agree (hope) that with all the marketing/hype/engineering effort/market demand for the TH/PRO that they will be producing more of them than they have Pro's in the past. It seems like a lot of wasted effort for them to do all that and only make a handful of them. I don't expect production to be in line with the non-halo's, but it seems like increasing over the past Pro production would make a lot of sense.

Fortunately for those buying these, I think the pricing will allow us to get them somewhat easier. Perhaps I am wrong, but it should help. Being that the Lexus, GX, Tacoma, Range, Colorado are all refreshed, everyone looking at buying a vehicle right now has a lot to choose from and not many people are as dead set on a vehicle as you and I are. I have my fingers crossed on that line of thinking anyway.

Looks promising, but what's with all the alarms?

I noticed that as well. I’m guessing audible alarms/sensors trying to alert the driver as the truck is sensing slipping, obstacles, etc. Possibly related to safety sense 3.0. I’m hoping that you can turn these off or at least down. In my car (Audi S5) it has a bunch of annoying audible alarms that I can basically turn off. It uses cameras and radars to warn me when it thinks I’m too close to something and tends to be overly conservative. I could see them being helpful to a point especially as we are familiarizing ourselves with the new machine, but that will get old quickly. I would be interested to hear feedback from owners on this forum as they have had a chance to play with theirs. My main concern would be in the offroad setting (as in actually off-roading). As I’m off-roading I don’t want a bunch of audible crap, I want focus on driving and listening to some good tunes.

That's what I was thinking as well.

And then it seemed to yell at him when he did something with the gear selector at the 15:43 mark.
