I’ve drove a new Tacoma, there is no noise like that coming from the turbo

hard to take the review too seriously, there’s no such whistle noise unless there’s something aftermarket on that truck. Also, doesnt know what a trailer brake button is. Just a “I don’t know what that button does”. Pretty bad, one would think when spending that kind of money on a truck you knew what you were buying.

I didn’t know what the brake hold did on my wife’s Rav4 for over a year. Toyota buyers aren’t used to technology being part of the package. The idea that someone can’t buy a vehicle because it has features they aren’t aware of is kind of silly.

As per the turbo noise, that’s how they sound when revved up without a load on it. See below.

That noise at the end of the video can't be the turbo spooling up, can it? If so, that just doesn't sound right to me.

Yes actually, I have heard that in another video. Let me find a link to it.

he is intentionally revving it up at the part of the video. It must be the OEM waste gate.

Skip to 4:58. I personally like the sound.

Thanks for posting dude! The thought I have like another 3 months to wait for a hybrid is driving me crazy.

Well, some people don't tow enough to need it. I personally have never towed anything heavy enough to need to use one. Could've read the manual though.

Think you’re missing the point. To not know what a brake hold does is one thing. To buy a truck, that has a built in hitch, as well as a built in trailer brake system, (as most trucks do now a days) and then do a review on a truck and not know what the button does Isn’t professional. Most people buy a truck because they need to tow or plan to tow, and trucks tow more than cars or SUV’s do. Towing and the availability of a trailer brake system is so often talked about when reviewing a truck. Some reviews exclusively review on how a truck tows, its capacity tow and the features it has for towing, such as around view cameras etc. then to have these whooshing sounds at the end of the video leading people to believe it’s the turbo noise and then getting comments that the turbo noise is so cool. That noise doesn’t exist in the 2024 Tacoma. I’m merely pointing out that this guy also noted that it’s his first YouTube video, and it’s abundantly clear. In order for this guy to continue to do reviews on trucks, and post them to YouTube and then in a forum as specific as the Tacoma4G where many like myself can see right through a fake/poor/useless review needs to maybe put a little more thought into becoming the next YouTube sensation for truck reviews .

sounds awesome to me like a high out put motor. listen to all turbo diesels and high end BMW's, gtrs ext. looks like Toyota took some pages out of the bmw playbook with the 2.4.... I wonder how much boost this engine puts out....?

The whooshing noise in the video as well - it’s fake. The Tacoma does not make that noise. All around a guy who has no clue. If you didn’t know what the button does, why wouldn’t you just edit it out of the video or not mention it at all?

I drove one too, the phone picks up the sound a bit different although it's definitely similar.
