2024 Toyota Tacoma Will NEVER Be Like The Last GEN…Toyota‘s big mistake

[@Slammingutz]

Screw you Toyota. I’m sick of greed and cheapness of build quality and horrible engine choices. The American market does not want turbos. I test drove the New Tundra and New Tacoma and it’s definitely not worth 50k to 60K for either trucks. The transmission felt weird in the Tacoma and the Tundra is having Engine recalls and replacement. Toyota lost their way and I hope all the executives and shareholders make a swift change back to their old ways of building quality vehicles for the working class people. Do better Toyota and Lexus.

[@darknessislight3689]

I’d never buy anything with a Turbo or a CVT both are expensive headaches 🚫 Toyota has lost their minds.

[@yardboy3955]

The more I look at the Tacoma the more I know it’s not for me.

[@CarlosMartinez-r9l]

Bad quality , too much money for a midsize truck.

[@Jojo-ni2cg]

Yes you are so right! buy a japanese v6 4runner while you still have time guys!!

[@WheelsandWallets]

@Jojo-ni2cg Yes there’s not much time left sad to see it go

[@davidnguon6972]

No V6 and to much good bye toyota 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@cmc7106]

15 failures on transmissions out of 80000 sold reported. I am sure there will be more. Definitely too expensive.

[@honda116969]

New Tacoma are just 🗑️ everything you pointed out is 💯% correct If i didn't have a 3rd gen Tacoma I would get the 4Runner TRD off-road

[@Kawasaki750H2stroke]

Now that Toyota is struggling, Honda should buy Jeep and put a reliable power-train into them. I always wanted a reliable Wrangler.

[@timalan7406]

Hmmmm- that is a great idea!

[@g7003041]

Unfortunately many still buying it regardless of how much Toyota is asking for it. It for people who love to live in debts for the rest of their life. 😊

Ive seen a few of these in person now, not crazy about the styling. feels overdesigned. Ill stick to my gen3 Tacoma

[@marksmith4582]

I still don’t trust the new Tacomas completely. As you well stated! Way too many mechanical issues yet! I’m old school myself! Heck, I would even be happy with the previous generation of Tacoma in the SR version with the dependable and reliable 2.7 liter 4 cylinder before I get one of these new models! Mark in Iowa.

[@WheelsandWallets]

@marksmith I can’t believe Toyota did this to their super reliable Tacoma they should’ve never got rid of that V6

[@marksmith4582]

I agree totally!

[@timalan7406]

An Off Road is $15,000 more than an SR5!

[@WhatTheIfYouSeeKay]

You can get a Ranger Raptor for less than 60k…..

[@raymikes1234]

So far the manual transmission issue is 5 vehicles, that fishing story with the fish gets bigger everyday and keeps on growing. The ford and chev also have 4 turbos. I get the prices have gone up, but new full size trucks are now $75000 to $95000. About build quality the third generation was also built in Mexico, only a small number were built in Texas and no one complained than?

[@timalan7406]

My Tacoma was built in Texas on 10/31/2015 as a new 2016- not one problem ever. I should have kept it.

[@BabakPA]

I can’t believe people pay these prices for these!

[@flip97gt]

I bought a 2022 GMC Canyon AT4, the last of the V6 models before the redesign, and I'm glad I did. I've heard gas mileage isn't so good on the new 4 cylinder turbo models. I've been getting 21.9 mpgs over the last 6k miles.

[@archie_bunker]

I still have not seen one 4th gen on the road.. I will never buy one..

[@Teddy-t1d]

Sure am glad I got a new one in2023! TRD Off-road 41,600 dollars

[@MarkS-yv8cn]

That pricing is absurd

[@reynolds354]

[@LK-bz9sk]

Toyota did this to themselves. They need to sleep in the bed they made.

[@robrocker7544]

Next Toyota will start selling customers accessories to fill in the those build gaps and wait until insurance companies and warranty companies have to start paying their crazy prices for replacement everything on these trucks. Prices will just continue going up for those services. Toyota knows they blew it and will capitalize on those who are just too blind to see it. I went out recently and spent my money on a third gen taco… now own a 2nd gen Taco too that has over 150k miles on it and only changed tires, oil, brakes and batteries, zero issues and runs like the day I first drove it out a dealer lot.

[@jonesjones7057]

Armada isn't turbo. Its NA V8. Better value than a 4 Runner too. Insane deals on them right now. Bullet proof engine. Still have my 2005 with 230,000 miles. Keeping it forever. Had to repaint tho, Nissan paint does suck.

[@WheelsandWallets]

Yes, it’s a V8 right now but it’s going to be a turbo when they remodel it pretty soon Get the V-8 while you still can

[@jonesjones7057]

@WheelsandWallets ah, gotcha. Didn't know that thanks.

[@latonywoods9581]

What transmission problems does the 2024 Tacoma suffer from???? It uses the RC60F which is 10 years old and has been use in the Hilux diesel for that time with no problems. It’s a tough durable built AISIN transmission non better!

[@WheelsandWallets]

The new 2024 Tacoma is having a transmission issue with both automatic and manuals. It’s all over the Internet and I’ve spoke with multiple people that have had their 2024 Tacoma have a complete transmission failure

[@carlosskrr]

Idk man I stayed away from these cause of all the stuff I was reading online and to be honest with you these really aren’t that bad at all. It’s night and day better than the older one I ended up buying one because I got 7k off msrp if people want these the time to buy is now cause once they work out some of the kinks and these start selling you won’t find deals like that anymore. I do agree the 4Runner is better built overall but it’s only for people who don’t really need a truck bed

[@stevenflores5549]

I traded my 17 for a 23 off-road. I could’ve got the 24 but no way would I ever trust a turbo four-cylinder. I paid 45,000 loaded for mine, right now that doesn’t even get you a loaded SR5 where I live.

[@JJ_MTB_15]

I looked at them and went Tundra which was cheaper by $6,000 with the same options. I didn't know about the body fitment issues with the tacoma thats horrible. I thought the Tacoma motor was decent but the transmission was a hunter and the backseat is smaller than the 2nd-3rd gen. They missed the mark with everything but the looks of it.

[@jdkingsley6543]

Crazy, everyone is buying up the 20-23 models

[@shaydonmoises8025]

[@billbob9021]

[@anhd1507]

I've had it for a week. Best vehicle I've owned so far and I had 3 other vehicles before it. I understand the price is higher than expected, but other than that I think it's a solid truck. I was lucky I bought one during July 4th sale. $3.5k off the sticker price hehe

[@hoseman10]

[@musclesmouse]

I was in market for a truck. I went with a Nissan Titan Pro4X. Only Toyota on my short list was 4Runner

[@finderskeeperz8363]

Im gonna remember mine cause I own a '21 Tacoma TRD PRO with currently 37k miles. I drive my BRZ daily so I can conserve mileage on my taco!

[@sammyjammy6647]

@@sammyjammy6647 Yes, likewise with all due respect...the over-flow of inventory justifies...In my opinion, it's a huge mistake with the conversions. On top of that the markups are crazy! Tundra's took a bit hit with the current re-call, are Tacoma's next? 4cyl/ turbo doesn't have the same towing capacity power as your typical v-6. It's just a matter of time....of course the new tech will perform great at first, but will it sustain...

I really want a ‘25 4Runner but am nervous about the V4. Even if it is made in Japan

[@pcap2700]

It's not the clutch with the manuals the transmission that's the problem the transmission with out warning loses 2nd 4th 6th gears due to a small crack in the casing by the shifter I know because it happend to mine waited 2 months for a new transmission
