I'm not so sure. This is a question we get a lot regarding the iForce Max in the Tundra/Sequoia. Issues aside, the goal wasn't necessarily to make miraculous efficiency gains; rather, it was to do more with less. If you've driven the 583 lb/ft of torque, it's impressive that it gets slightly better economy than a Tahoe while producing FAR more torque. The iForce Max 4 cylinder is largely the same in that regard.

I paid $50,500 Cdn for mine. Last year they were $47,xxx. But I think it's a 3k better truck. I had an 18 Pro and think my 24 offroad base is such a better truck. I can't say for reliability yet only at 4000km. But a 23 Pro was $64k Cdn and now it's $83k Cdn so I think the lower models are more value then the top trims. Just my 2 cents.

The thing is, I bought my 23 pro 4x for 43k, upgraded suspension, wheels and tires and is most likely now more capable off road than a trd pro, and I’m still barely 50k into the truck where the trd pro is starting at 65k. I’m also biased toward the more simple v6 vs a turbo hybrid 4cyl.

@@jax1079 sure but when I say I’m more capable than a TRD pro, I’m speaking of the newest gen TRD pro, so there’s no doubt I’m more capable than a current TRD off road. Also, at least around me, the TRD offroad is still more than I have into my pro 4x with upgrades. They supposedly msrp for 42k but I can’t find a single one near me for less than 51k.

Great review for a car show love to see you on your circuit. I’ve owned two Genesis products, GV70 3.5 Advanced and G80 2.5 Sport Prestige and am a big fan. Going to take a hard pass on the coupe. Style is fine for me no kids but for $87k I don’t want to watch two tv monitors. Give me high end gauge clusters any day. That’s why I got the Mrs a 2023 Nautilus 2.7 awd. Vs the 2024. I don’t want an electronic billboard for a dash. Don’t know if I’d jump on the combination electrification and stay with the 3.5 T. More stuff to break and Genesis hasn’t been flawless.

The Mazda CX-50 and CX-5 is no competition for the Buick Envision. My opinion, the Buick Envision has much better styling, interior, and ride quality. $10k in rebates for the 2023 model will definitely help with the decision. Also, initial quality according to JD Powers is better with Buick. Super happy with the Envision, and this opinion is coming from a guy that traded in a VW GTI.

You can't get a Tacoma for 31,500 go to a dealer and try to find a Tacoma for less than 40K and it will have nothing on it. Less cylinders not much improved fuel mileage , a unproven powertrain, a plasticky interior, the competition has better looking interior for less money.

All I know is when I paid cash for my 2022 Tacoma trd pro and went over the entire truck that was manufactured in Mexico, I was disappointed with the cheap plastic parts inside and outside, and the overall quality compared to my previous 1st gen Tacoma. That said, when I test drove a 4th gen Tacoma trd off road recently and discovered it’s just as cheap and low quality as my 3rd gen, along with a higher sticker price; no thanks. Sorry nobody and no one can change my opinion and convince me otherwise that the new gen Tacoma is significantly better than the previous gen Tacoma after I test drove it. If I was considering buying a 4th gen Tacoma, the intelligent decision on my part would be to wait til 2027 to purchase one, based on all the bugs being addressed and worked out kinda like what transpired with the 3rd gen problems and hiccups.

Just want you to know the good news of the Gospel. The bad news is that you and I (everyone) are sinners. And since God is Holy He doesn’t put up with sin. So sin leads to hell. The good news is God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins on the cross. This means Jesus paid the debt we owed but couldn’t pay. So if one repents and places faith (trust) in Jesus Christ they can be assured of heaven. I love you and so does God.

I don't have the answer to this, but how do the mid-size trucks of today compare to the full size trucks of 15 years ago? Size, interior volume, bed capacity, power, towing capacity, etc?
@jax10794 күн бұрын
That's a great point. Power is the big difference, with the current gen midsize trucks being mostly as powerful as trucks 15 years ago but doing it via MUCH smaller displacement engines that are more fuel efficient. But the other stuff... I'd say they're still noticeably behind full sized trucks. Towing capacity probably got closer (and bed capacity as well), but interior space is definitely not equal. Probably have to go back another 5-10 years for that. Still, it's definitely reasonable to say current midsize trucks are like 2/3rds of decade old full sized trucks in many respects.
