Definitely worth the price. The interior room and riding comfort, the much improved crawl control, the 360 degree camera system, heated and cooled seats and heated steering wheel, the coil suspension with Bilstine shocks w/ reservoir, grab handles galore, better 0-60 time and shorter braking distance, digital multi setup gauge cluster, etc, etc. Much better truck costs much more money.

I have the TRD off road premium with a few more options. It was my 3rd Tacoma and wanted to go all out but didn’t want the hybrid models. I absolutely love it and have had it for three months now! We also have a 2023 off road.

The Nissan is cheaper but doesn’t have near the electronic tech, is slower and rides rougher and doesn’t have the great looks as the Tacoma TRD Off Road. No option for front sway bar disconnect. The cameras on the Nissan are poor. It just isn’t in the same class as the new Toyota. If you can’t afford the Toyota then the Nissan isn’t too bad. I do however like the skid plates better on the Nissan and it has more towing and hauling capacity.
I like Toyota but I think I would have to go with the Colorado or Ranger over this.

I have owned 3 Tacoma's in the last 3 years and have made 7,000 dollars after tax selling Those days are gone. What about the engine bay *looks like a hot mess" no organization. The rear window is sad! getting rid of the hand brake was also a mistake. The front valance is stupid. The COST IS INSANE!! The truck is made in Mexico and your not paying workers like in Texas so why the price increase. Nissan is the direction I am going from now on!! SAD DAY!!
