2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter | First Drive

The Tacoma gets more of just about everything except cylinders. Do we miss the V6 from the previous generation, or is the Hybrid powertrain an off-road dream? #KBB

$63,900 before markups. Quick math: $6,400 down (10%) + tax and interest (7.64) 60 Months Payment: $1260 @12.5% of take home pay you should be earning $157,500 annually to be looking at this car (assuming the appropriate taxes are coming out of your paycheck). National average wage (US Census): $63795. Percentage making $150k annually: approx. 8.3% 5 Year price increase Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro: 2019 MSRP: $42,960 2024 MSRP: $63,900 49% increase Wage growth 2019-2024: 1.7% (Source: US Treasury) These price increases far outpace inflation and wage growth. Toyota is targeting 8% of total market. Or people who just want to act fiscally irresponsible.

[@derekim75]

Not just Toyota.......Every car price is just insanely high.........

[@frankleespeaking9519]

Trying really hard to convince us that a 60k with a 4 cylinder Mexican truck is progress. This is the beginning of the end of the beloved taco.

[@Eskimofo-le4sy]

8 years ago $65,000 could get you a full size truck with the highest trim level. The auto industry is pricing 90% of people out from buying their new vehicles.

[@donaldseymour7278]

Unfortunately, I hate to say this. Our jobs hasn't kept up with the pay for the last 30 years of inflation.

[@cousinbeenie342]

I will hold on to my 2019 taco until the wheels fall off...I'll never buy the new truck at those ridiculous prices

[@wesrobinson7366]

I wanted to buy a 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro and found no dealer would give it to me at list price. Most wanted more than 60k for the car. I bought a 2022 Ford Tremor and love it. Its actually comfortable compared to the Tacoma. I spent 6k more but got a ton more for the price and paid sticker.

[@wisdomkojo6718]

Where is Micah ?, I miss him.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent video!

[@SirGreta]

TOYO has officially jumped the shark with these TRD PRO prices.......

[@scottvickery2057]

So you lose towing capacity with the hybrid engine?

[@JarmelSingsKaraoke]

🔥🔥🔥

[@martincoppiaroli635]

I 💕 my TRD Sport w/ premium package.

[@izraelite2908]

NO PRICE TOO HIGH

[@ubaurbanus1243]

At $63,000 I will buy a full size truck. I can't believe mide size truck is that expensive 😢

[@VentureBulo]

Please provide a full size truck that comes brand new below that price with the off road features. If you're comparing used to this, you ain't the target market.

[@beekaye1496]

I feel you on this. Prices are going up and depreciating will be down in a few years. P{l

[@ragnarok400]

I think it would be better to compare it to another top of the line mid size truck. A tundra trd pro is 10k more expensive then a tacoma trd pro.

[@4rr44E]

@@VentureBuloPer TFL, the brand new Ram Warlock starts at $56K. Almost $9K less than a Tacoma TRD Pro/Trailhunter!

[@alexsmba]

Yeah paid $62k for a brand new 2019 GMC 3500 Denali Duramax diesel. I understand inflation, but won’t support hyperinflation or just getting taken advantage of with Covid crap. If enough of us hold off to make the manufacturers and dealers hurt, the prices will drop.

[@JohnC-yz5co]

That's the Best looking midsized pickup out of the other ugly 3 ford,chevy,gmc,

[@redskins1120]

We miss the V6, it gave better mpg. My 2016 gives 22mpg and the 4 th gen gives 21 mpg.

[@SSS-mp8th]

Price on the TRD pro? Not sure why I’m asking. It will be too much. Much cheaper to just buy a dirt bike and a regular trim truck.

[@nikosabate8785]

I heard trd pro’s price is gonna be around 66-70 k

[@ragnarok400]

It's 63,900

[@nikosabate8785]

Yes for the trail hunters. For trd pro, it will probably be 65 k. For base but if full loaded so it’s 70 or more than that either I found out today.

[@ragnarok400]

@nikosabate8785 no that's the actual price. Trailhunter - 62,900, long bed - 63,400. The trd pro is 63,900

[@ragnarok400]

@nikosabate8785 trd pro is 63,900. Destination charge will bring it to 65k and then tax which will bring the total to 70k. It's already fully loaded there's no other packages to choose from. There's add on you can get like a fridge or an air compressor.

Lyn was really in her element with this review.

[@banderson1979]

Hey woke KBB where is Micah?

[@chambaa1000]

Micah is still with KBB. He is working in a managerial position.

[@RawTophat]

So the hybrid power train is a $3,700 up charge… wow

[@urbanstrencan]

This hybrid engine should Toyota offer in EU Hilux :)

[@A.R.B.J.]

I would gladly sacrifice the additional power for the simplicity and reliability of a naturally aspirated V-6.

[@beexiong2995]

Go buy a frontier then.

[@s350mbz]

How is a truck with a bonnet nearly 4 or 5 feet high considered a "mid- size" family truck? These trucks should only be available as commercial or utility trucks...😂😂😂

[@Duc1198YamR1]

$63,000 not including dealers’ mark-up and add-ons.

[@carlosr9173]

Toyota smoking fentanyl laced meth for 63k. WTH???😂

[@4rr44E]

Nope. Just nope. $65K for a TRD Pro or Trailhunter!! Common… seriously!?!

[@hisownfool1]

Unfortunately, every time I read the words "Toyota" and "new" massive dealer markups come to mind. This truck will not be an exception.

[@ragnarok400]

Thankfully, I live by longo toyota, which doesn't do any markups

[@xiaxiong9197]

I’ll buy a full size truck in that price, instead. Not just Toyota, but every midsize trucks will fall due to insane prices.

[@donays8241]

No thank you, mucho money.

[@douavue6196]

Toyota make big mistakes no more v6 and the new tacoma are over price rich peoples don't buy tacoma only middle class do and now they can't afford it tacoma r going down hill fast

[@sohailhit]

Foot-pound 😂

[@appleztooranges]

For $63,450 I’d rather keep my 2023 Toyota Tacoma trd pro. Thanks. Stop these 4 cylinder turbo crap 💩

[@Mylifeislegendary836.]

How about you stop these crappy and nonsense comments. These are very good engined with Great power performance torque mpg and more. Please keep your existing truck and if you like that but don't post nonsense like turbo crap. Because your V6 Tacoma is.v6 crap 💩

[@ragnarok400]

its the future. everything is going to be hybrid/turbo.

[@Mylifeislegendary836.]

@@ragnarok400 agree

[@oscardelarosa8217]

No thank you
