Taco loyaltist will always hate on the latest version, you cannot escape the price increase, true, there has been a lot improvements but at the end of the day has Toyota deviated from the core reason why buyers gravitated to the Tacoma?

@m.687 Ай бұрын

We are in totally new territory with this 4th gen. It honestly shouldn't be called a Tacoma. Toyota needs to come up with a new name.

@towelies4884 Ай бұрын

The price is what kills it. But that seems to be for all newer Toyotas asking Lexus prices for a Toyota.

@Realistick Ай бұрын

At least for their new body on frame stuff, id agree. As good as some of them are, they’ve gotta be pricing out some loyal buyers🫠

Besides the TRD Pro and Trail hunter, the other trims are pretty equivalent in price and equipment to other competitors. The TRD Off Road is essentially the same price as the Frontier Pro4X. People forget that the Pro4X can be optioned up to 50k

Nice to see a somewhat "positive" review of the new Taco. TY!

With the amount of engine and transmission problems being reported in newer refreshed toyotas, it is concerning. Have heard about the manuals failing firsthand in the 2024 Tacoma. Also, having driven a manual 2024 tacoma, it is 'ok'. It drives like a truck. Big and heavy, lot of weight to throw around. Infotainment is huge and in your face, feels small inside despite being a large vehicle. I'm not in the market for a manual truck anyways even if it was cheaper, maybe if it was an option in the Ranger or Frontier (but sadly it's not). I do prefer smaller lightweight cars anyways, and I'm enjoying my 2020 jetta gli with long gears.

The Tundra recall was doozy, but Id also keep in mind that Toyota is a huge manufacturer and the relative amount of problems owners do experience, still keep them toward the top of reliability charts (they consistently place at the top with Consumer Reports on this, even now). I hope the Taco continues this and they get the bugs worked out🤕

I saw a neighbor’s brand new double cab long bed. Looked awesome. 50k, 2wd.😮

I love my 3rd gen dclb on King shocks. The 4th gen cant compare

And your neighbor is exactly why they cost that much. People keep paying for it. People have always overpaid for Toyotas and Toyota saw that so they figured why let the dealers get the money they want a piece of that pie.

Another excellent review, Tyler. I would just get the SR extended cab, and the price is not bad.

@Realistick Ай бұрын

Thanks, I agree, keep the options low and the value isn’t that bad relative to new trucks!

@0HOON0 Ай бұрын

The Tacoma is no longer competitive in off-road ability (Raptor/ZR-2), power(Ranger 2.7), or value (Frontier $12k less!). If this gen eventuallly delivers on traditional Toyota durability all will be forgiven.

@Realistick Ай бұрын

Id agree that all of those trucks are a better value, but I think that you have to take a few other things into account. Just because some other brands can get front lockers, doesn’t mean the taco isn’t competitive. I’d even say that having sway bar disconnect compensates for that, especially since you don’t need the TRD pro to get it! The Frontier is much cheaper, but when they’re both stripped down, the difference is a few grand and you won’t even have power mirrors with the Frontier😂. The taco just gets outrageous when you start getting some real options. As for power, it’s enough, but yeah, the Ranger and Colorado give you more in most cases. It’s a pretty great truck to live with, if it turns out to be reliable, I think people will love it like the third gen… if they can afford it.

Don't count on it. Anything like these Tacomas being built out of Mexico will never match the reliability the brand was built on. It's going to be overpriced junk, and Toyota will charge crazy prices to cover the costs of the recalls and shoddy build quality.

@davidc750 Ай бұрын

One thing is most important when it comes to truck buyers before anything else: Is it dead RELIABLE? Toyota has lead industry with their truck in this one aspect for decades, and sales prove that it is the most important factor when it comes to prospective buyers. Because let's face it, Anyone who has owned any previous generations of Tacoma knows that they were never that great in terms of quality: It is loud, amenities are minimal, wind noise is terrible, paint will crack if someone farts on it, gas mileage is just as bad as full size V8, engine is underpowered and automatic tranny is more of slush box, uneven panel gaps everywhere and rusts forming on 15 different water trap spots isn't exactly industry leading standards. But people still bought it and loved it because it was... reliable! Now with both Toyota trucks getting this many complains and recalls due to reliability issues this early, to me Toyota trucks have lost their charms and seem to be just as flimsy as other trucks on the market, but more expensive. Now I really cannot recommend anyone to buy new trucks from Toyota, though I am a Toyota fanboy who owns Camry, Tacoma and the new GR corolla, which has been a fantastic vehicles for many years(crossing my fingers on GRC to not suck on reliability, which I have not had any issues...yet.). They have tainted their brand name in truck segment and this will be hard for them to fix, but they need to do it sooner than later. Complex engines just have no place in pick-up trucks.

@Realistick Ай бұрын

Nice to hear from another GR Corolla owner, and the Tundra’s recall was obviously concerning though Id firmly disagree that the new Tacoma has had enough complaints to warrant that kind of claim. A lot of trucks that sell less, have had the same or more problems reported with the nhtsa. It’s FAR too early to come to a conclusion, the engine has been good so far in each car that it’s been used in, let’s see if automatic problems persist and then we’ll have that talk!

@davidc750 Ай бұрын

@@Realistick I do agree with the sentient that it is quite early to tell, especially for Tacoma. But I also firmly believe #1 reason for Toyota's reliability is due to simple power train architecture that is over built minimizing error margin by not giving enough output. New power trains, including one in grc, do not share the same ethos. Time will tell, and with completely new engine they will have to prove themselves again. They have done so in the past with hybrid so there is hope, although even for hybrid it was always na counterpart that always proved to be more reliable.
