5 Things I HATE about my 2024 TACOMA

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

WHAT DO YOU THINK? ARE THESE THINGS DEAL BREAKERS FOR YOU?

[@dino5254]

Just for the money, it's the plastic. I think the TRD Pro has a soft door upper panel. Hopefully I can get that part and swap that hard plastic.

[@pavanSingh-ts5ym]

The inflated price was bound to happen, as Toyota has built its reputation on reliability, dependability, and resale value, at least IF you decide to sell down the road, you should command a decent return. Nonetheless, it still hurts the pocketbook, but have fun your young and will earn in other ways.

[@B126USMC]

@@pavanSingh-ts5ym Might still be a 'too high' a price when it comes time for re-sale. People aren't going to pay high prices for a USED vehicle

And you put up with those dislikes ? For me the 24 has to many rattles ( glove box rattle ) just to mention one. And you like it better than your 22 .

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

I do like it better than my 22 for sure. My 22 was a rattly mofo. It had rattles in the dash and in the headliner. The 24 doesn’t have any rattles yet. And I drive on a dirt road everyday. And the glovebox doesn’t rattle in mine either.

[@Rdrunnersac]

They are ridiculously overpriced.

[@Deuce_Dufresne]

Yep

[@kevinbradley8613]

I got mine for $45k, it’s not the off-road premium, but it’s still the trd off-road. I leased my 22’ off-road premium like an idiot, and took it to the dealership a few days ago to buy out the lease, they had a white off-road with the MT like my ‘22. I had to trade it!😂 seems alright so far, but my 22 was super well equipped and I liked it a lot

[@kevinbradley8613]

If you shop around you can find em for a fair price compared to the gen 3. Just gotta shop. I agree they’re still too expensive, but isn’t everything?

[@saywhatnow57]

Adjusted for inflation, they are actually priced the same as they always have been. You can look up the window stickers for almost every model over the past 25 years, and when compared with an inflation calculator, they are the same. You have to negotiate off some dealer add-ons in some cases. But that's not hard.

[@Deuce_Dufresne]

[@donjuan2105]

@jed23ify my 16 has been leaking oil from a blown seal for about 2 years literally a few thousand miles after my extended warranty ended. Toyota quoted me over $5k to fix and I was told it wasn't worth fixing. These trucks aren't as reliable as many think. Every oil change I dump a bottle of blue devil oil stop leak to lessen leakage. It does seem to help ans because of this my truck isn't worth what it should be worth.

@@donjuan2105 sorry to hear that dude, I would honestly try looking for another reputable mechanic and probably only charge you half of what Toyota is charging you.

[@dbarton8651]

No.1 is 100% the fuel tank size... No drivers side A-pillar grab handle, and no rear center armrest are my only complaints. Price also sucks but the Tacoma is not unique in this situation. All cars are insanely expensive, and interest rates make it just an overall poor time for a large purchase. Currently, if I cannnot pay cash for something, i'm not interested.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

You’re not wrong. That fuel tank thing is annoying. Although my 22 had the same issue. Hardly any range. But yeah it’s unfortunate how expensive everything has gotten. But you’re right they are all going through the roof.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah. Unfortunately that’s how toyota does it. There is no “factory order” with toyota. And to take it a step further, the dealership doesn’t even get to order what they want for inventory. Toyota tells them what they’re getting. They can, to some extent, add or remove accessories like bed steps, running boards, all weather floor mats etc. but they don’t even get to pick the cars.

Try taking your truck through a car wash, the sensors go crazy thinking you’re gonna hit something. Highly annoying.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Oh yeah! You have to turn all that stuff off when you go through the car wash😂

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

The price increase reflects all the improvements from the last generation yet even you as a salesman can seem to piece that together

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

I understand it and have to explain that to people daily. It doesn’t mean I have to like it

[@War_eye]

On previous models, the seatbelt chime could be coded out with techstream. Also, dual climate control was never standard on a tacoma, ever.

[@OntarioGuy430]

It sure is a pretty colour!

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

I love it! It is my favorite color toyota has ever made

[@OntarioGuy430]

@@counterfeitcowboy1362 I had a 2022 Tacoma Nighshade in Magnetic Grey - It was a nice truck but it ended up being a lemon with battery and technology issues. It was made in peak COVID lockdown times - that is the excuse I use at least. Ended up with a white 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X after having issues with the 2022 Hybrid Grand Cherokee 4xE I traded the Tacoma for. The Canyon has been super awesome so far! 2022 was not a good year for manufacturers I guess. I am glad I bought the white Canyon before I saw the Solar Octane or I would have given Toyota another chance.

[@edwinfigueroa8033]

I also hate the lane protection feature where it jerks your steering wheel, super annoying

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah that can be super annoying. I really like it on the highway but not so much in town. You can turn it off tho👍

[@bentleyfonsworth9604]

Major negative is the price but buys it anyway?

[@SlaughteredInside]

1. The automatic tailgate is beyond stupid IMO. No one is going to appreciate that except boomers with weak arms. 2. The shocks being stiff I believe may be related to your tires PSI. I'd check them and make sure they aren't over-inflated. I forgot to air-down my tires after winter, and found out they were sitting at 40 PSI, (should be 30-37 tops) Made speed bumps at the grocery store feel like driving over an IED. Aired down to 30PSI and everything was normal again. 3. Downsizing the gas tanks from 21 to 18 gals was another stupid move. Like why? To make room for the parts that power the automatic tailgate that everyone hates? Get rid of it. 4. Between the insanely high prices for bells & whistles, no gain performance, and questionably reduced reliability (maybe) with the turbo's and the transmission issues they're having out of the gate, I feel like I made the right choice buying a Gen 3 for full MSRP last year. I wasn't happy about the absolutely rude pricing or the interest rate considering my 800+ credit score. But if I bought a Gen 4 and the tranny dipped out in 5K miles I would lose my freaking mind.

[@JCann]

I thought the first five things were going to be price, price, price, price……….and price

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

lol nah just one of them. And it’s not even that it’s expensive (which it is) but just that they package things so you have to get stuff you don’t necessarily want. I will say tho, now that I’ve had the truck a few months, some of the stuff I didn’t want is actually kind of nice😂

[@lawrenceison394]

Sure you have more power, but at the potential cost of reliability...and not better mileage.

[@private4546]

Toyota really f’d up on these. Turbos are trash. They require lots of maintenance. They are very expensive to maintain and when they go out good luck. You’ll probably have half the power. Also that electric motor assist is just a bad idea. I give em 100k mile life before the repair costs are more than the vehicle is worth. This is a huge shame because a well maintained Tacoma of any other year will last 300k+ miles. Just another throw away vehicle. I hope I’m wrong but the signs are there.

[@moisesceja5294]

Ive had dual climate control on all my vehicles and the passenger never cared to change it to anything other than my settings

[@tacomaadventures540]

You forgot to include the 18 mpg it’s doing. lol that’s one more gallon per mile than my v6 Tacoma lol 😂

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

lol my 22 sr5 v6 got like 22mpg after about 10k miles. This one is still breaking in and it’s getting better. But I drive this one fast because it is actually fun to drive😂 I’m still getting about 19 in this one driving like that.

[@saywhatnow57]

I have on and it's easy to get 20 mpg and easily 21 if you do a lot of interstate driving. I get 19.5 around town. But this Taco is really easy to hotdog around in because that turbo is addictive. But if you drive it at the acceleration of previous models you'll easily get 20.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

@@saywhatnow57 brother I’m here to tell ya. The temptation to hotdog is real…

[@SansooIan]

55-56k is the starting price of a Ranger Raptor (If its not marked up). But still - its what you're getting for the money at 60k. Having to spend that money.. only to spend more on Suspension tires and wheels.. at 60k??? Come on man.

I don’t like the big square iPad display. Much prefer the Canyons rectangle that doesn’t stick way up.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah the chev screen is nice too. I actually traded a Silverado on this Tacoma that had the same screen and I really liked it. You can get a smaller screen on the Tacoma tho so its less iPad looking👍

[@ATLFUNKCARTEL]

You can turn off the seatbelt beeper. I hate it too, so I had the dealer remove it.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

How did you do that?? My buddy bought a 13 dollar seat belt clicker thing that makes it think your seatbelt is on. I don’t love that tho😂

[@ATLFUNKCARTEL]

@@counterfeitcowboy1362 the dealer plugs a OBD II scanner into your car and hooks it up to their computer and they can change it. They can also limit it to 1 beep. Ask your dealer they should be able to help.

The cost IS NOT a nitpicky thing. That is a huge thing.

[@Vlaakster]

That seatbelt beeper would make me rage. I wonder if it can be turned off with one of those carista things like the Tundra. Anyway, that truck is beautiful. The look of the new Tacoma is so great, and in Solar Octane, the greatest color ever. I'm jealous 😀

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Oh it’s unbearable. Thank you! I love the color too!

[@gofastdan]

@@counterfeitcowboy1362 The Carista app does allow you to turn off the seatbelt chimes. Pay $10 for a month of access to advanced settings and then you can probably cancel the subscription after you've made changes if you're not going to use all the other features. You also need a compatible OBD reader. Carista has theirs but it's a bit limited in it's compatibility with other vehicles. I have an OBDLink LX, which is more expensive but works with the Carista app as well as many other apps, for example one that works with my BMW motorcycle. Android user BTW so can't speak to how Apple works with these products. As for the seatbelt chime, you can turn off each seatbelt individually, for example you can turn off just the front seats and leave the rear seatbelt chimes working. I was also able to change other settings, for example have the touch to change lanes turn signal function from 3 flashes to 4. Also turned off the fake engine sounds...

[@LCculater]

Or you could spend 150,000 Canadian for a RAM TRX like mine 😂. Great video and I actually like the Tacoma but way underpowered for me .

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah you could😂 I’m excited to drive a hybrid Tacoma. It won’t have trx power but it has 15 less hp and 65 more ft lb of torque than Toyotas 5.7L v8. Idk about you but a taco with v8 power sounds like a blast to me😂

[@gmo4641]

Everyone whines about being too expensive, yet they go and buy it 😐makes no sense. I can afford it, but the price is definitely pushing me away.

[@Rsgarage1904]

i bought this truck about 3 months ago and its already broken :( the engine started to knock .. body looks great but the engine is crap please do not buy these 2024 Tacomas stick with the reliable older version or buy a 2024 Nissan Frontier instead never thought i would say that in a million years but it is what it is

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

All that matters is that you love it! I said at some point in this video that my dislikes are nit picky and no car is perfect. I really love my Tacoma! It’s a blast to drive and is better than my 22 tacoma in every way

[@MrHand-ih4sz]

It looks very....plastic.

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

There is a lot of plastic. I will say tho it is one of the better looking/ feeling plastic interiors I’ve sat in. You can spend 85k on a ford super duty and their interior is way worse😂

[@MrHand-ih4sz]

@counterfeitcowboy1362 That's true. As for pricing, I think it's comical that Toyota moved production to Mexico to improve efficiency and lower costs, and THIS IS THE RESULT. Go figure...

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

Yeah. I mean I get that pricing goes up. And honestly it’s still comparable to the market depending on the trim. (Excluding the pro) but it still sucks that it went up, and that it went up so much😂

[@B126USMC]

Also looks similar (outside) to a Chevrolet

[@counterfeitcowboy1362]

@jeanclaude7018 yeah it’s a composite bed. I guess it’s a mixture of plastic, fiberglass and steel. They’ve been using that in Tacomas since the 2nd gen I believe. And it’s now in the tundras as well. They actually seem to be really strong.

[@normaninsandiego7061]

I think the seat belt alarm could play a Toyota jingle instead. The price increase is a little steep in my opinion, but it's a Toyota and we love them.

Anything other than what it does. I guess it works tho because I can’t go anywhere without my seatbelt buckled😂 but I do love this truck it is so good at what it does!

Avoid until Toyota comes clean on its problems and apologizes and repents This is similar to Toyota of the early 2000s when following their success in the 1990s they put out oil burning engines and the unintended acceleration scandal they apologized and started to produce some really good product The problems at Toyota are systemic and doubtful they are limited to one product like the tundra
