5 Reasons NOT to get a new New 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma

[@mdmattmann]

Just picked up my 2023 TRD Sport premium yesterday! I chose tried and true over latest and greatest!

[@DJXPLRS]

I love the TRD Sport look. Great decision!

[@kidlo2050]

I got a 23 sport 2wd. I wanted leather seats but that price got me.

[@leroyclement4544]

Just got a 2023 Limited!

[@DJXPLRS]

The Limited is such a great trim level.

[@jtec99]

Nice! 2020 trd off road here but love the limited

[@alan4449]

Can’t decide yet

[@DJXPLRS]

It is a little tough to decide until the 4th Gen is actually in market and available.

[@PrepperDawg]

I will be keeping my V6 2021 Tacoma for a long time

[@DJXPLRS]

Gotta love the V6!

[@BoiseTDI]

I bought the 3rd gen because it’s a great new old truck. =) Yep, I love it for its industrial non-blingy interior and super reliable v6…and being a 23, it’s the last year of the year 3rd gen. I’m confused though, earlier you said you wanted a 4th gen and want to sell your 3rd gen, now you don’t. Lol

[@DJXPLRS]

I was considering it but I figured I hold my 3rd Gen for now. Let Toyota work the kinks out of the 4th Gen for a bit.

[@pedroburrito8038]

@@DJXPLRS I agree, never jump on the 1st to 3rd year model of the new gen until all the bugs and quality control get sorted out. This was my experience with other makes as well. It's usually more consistent with domestic brands.

I had the choice of a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, Double Cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs or an identical 24 Tacoma. I chose the 23 because it’s a proven truck in reliability and durability. Historically a Turbo engine simply doesn’t last as long as a Naturally Aspirated (NA) engine. The 3.5L NA V6 has been around and improved significantly over the years. My last Toyota RAV Limited 4WD had the 3.5L V6 and a 5spd automatic transmission. I put over 300K miles on it. I sold it to a friend who always told me that if j ever wanted to sell my Rav, to let him know. He knows that I changed the oil and filter every 5K miles with Valvoline High Mileage Full Synthetic oil. I use the High Mileage oil from day one because it has additives that reduce engine wear. Every 60K miles the front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluid was changed. The brakes were bled every 60K miles as was the power steering fluid. Every 3 years or 35K miles the radiator was back flushed and new antifreeze was added. He gave me top dollar for my RAV. This is why I decided to buy my 23 Tacoma because I know the longevity, durability and reliability of the 3.5L V6, first hand. Both of my mom’s Lexus have had the 3.5L V6. I was talking to my friend who I sold my RAV to and it now has almost 350K miles and it still doesn’t burn oil. I know that a gasoline powered Turbo will NOT last for 200K miles without a major problem. We keep our vehicles for 15-20 years, or 300K miles or if it needs major repair, then we’ll sell or trade it in. I now only drive 6-7K miles per year and at my age my Tacoma will be the last vehicle I’ll ever own.

Great points!

[@jimmijo9148]

Got a ‘16 Sport 4x4…doesn’t have all the safety crap..has a V6. Keeping it. At 106,000 miles, just getting broken in.

[@DJXPLRS]

Nice!

[@vikingsteve55]

Keeping my 2nd gen. Love it and been like old faithful

[@DJXPLRS]

Sounds like a great choice

[@hulsey19750]

Reasons to get 2024 turbo low end with a 8 speed Tran and can get hybrid also for more power. 2023 and lower are gutless and fuel economy sucks and seats suck. I bought the 23 trd and regret it.

[@DJXPLRS]

I love my TRD Off-road, but it'll be fun to test drive the 4th Gen when it comes out

[@usmc2msu213]

Did you get a tune yet? I was ready to sell my 2017 and it’s a blast to drive now. Seat jackers fixed my seats too.

[@boston1450]

Had a 2020 2.7 & just got the 2023 trd sport. Amazing truck 3.5L is way more powerful than the bullet proof 2.7L... I'm thinking the 2.4L turbo will be ok to go to grocery store & around town.... I've noticed the 3.5 is better on MPG on highway. Less rpm & if I hit a grade it doesn't need to downshift like the 2.7 did. Around town the 2.7 was fantastic. I'm thinking the 2.4 turbo will do fine in town VS traveling highway. My opinion is the 2.4 will be awesome (as the 2.4 it same block as 2.7 from what I've heard) it's the turbo at high mileage that I'd be worried about.... I'd make sure to let it warm up before driving at cold starts & let idle for 30 seconds to cool off turbo Every Time. I may end up getting one after 2 years of production. Good luck if you buy one. Toyota makes a great truck.

[@DJXPLRS]

It'll be fun to drive the new ones to see how they feel compared to the 3rd Gen.

[@lukedawg357SIG]

I wanted just a 4x4 manual base truck cant find one the other's I love but just to much money for me right now.

[@DJXPLRS]

The Tacoma is one of the few manual trucks still out there.

[@BoiseTDI]

@@DJXPLRSyep mine is a manual 23 trd off-road and love it.

[@RawrStudios]

Great vid, definitely consider this before trading in my 3rd gen tacoma

[@DJXPLRS]

The 3rd Gen reliability is unmatched

[@troysei8290]

I just finished all the mods I wanted for my 2018 TRD Sport. I love it. I’ll be keeping it for a long time.

[@DJXPLRS]

Nice! It's such a blast modding the Tacoma

[@edwardoperez1663]

I had the 2023 Trd Sports and this will be my retirement truck that is proven to last for many, many years to come.I couldnt be happier owning my 2nd Tacoma.💪

[@DJXPLRS]

Right on

[@michaelcocozza2626]

I have a 2021 Tacoma and I am waiting for now!

[@DJXPLRS]

Same year as mine and I still love it.

[@eddieBoxer]

You shouldn't tell Antone not to buy the truck, its there money.

[@DJXPLRS]

True. Just sharing an opinion is all.
