2025 TOYOTA TACOMA TRD OFF-ROAD HYBRID ROAD TRIP REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a 1,200-mile road trip in the 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Hybrid from Moab, Utah, to Seattle, with a detour through Idaho's Craters of the Moon. The reviewer highlights the truck's impressive off-road capability, noting its durability after significant abuse on challenging trails. Comfort is praised, with the seats described as firm yet comfortable for long distances, and the infotainment system's large display is a plus for navigation. However, fuel economy is a significant drawback, particularly with modifications like E-load tires and a roof box, averaging around 12-14 MPG on highway stretches with an 80 mph speed limit. The reviewer acknowledges this is a capable hybrid, not an economy-focused vehicle. The search for a trapper's cabin proved unsuccessful due to inaccurate mapping. Overall, the Tacoma TRD Off-Road Hybrid is deemed a highly capable and enjoyable truck for adventures, despite its poor fuel efficiency.
