$58,704 is an absolutely insane price for a midsized middle of the road pickup, of any brand. I purchased my 2020 Tacoma TRD off-road for $32,480 OTD, in April 2020, just after the COVID shutdown. Is it a $26,224 better pickup? I would be hard pressed to justify paying that much of a premium, especially with moving to a 4 cylinder turbo motor. I believe that Toyota has priced itself out of the market for many long term Taco owners, especially with the competition available in the market today. I do wish you all the best with your new truck, it is certainly an upgrade in many respects, but personally, I will pass for now.

Ended up finding an Off-Road 2023 in Lunar Rock (dream color) used that fit our budget much better. This is our first truck and we've already used the HECK out of it; totally worth it.

60K for Tacoma offroad is insanely expensive, but if you are happy with the purchase and can afford it, then I say you made the right choice. Your happiness is just very expensive lol

[@Slammingutz]

It’s a poorly built truck and the 4 Cylinder Turbo Engine is going to have big problems if you tow or put bigger tires, and Turbo engines do not last. Period. Ask any Toyota mechanic or reputable ASE certified mechanic, they are expensive to repair and do not last past 150K miles. Also, the automatic and manual transmissions are failing at a high rate. The 2024 Tacoma and the 2022, 2023, and 2025 Tundras are being recalled for that Twin Turbo V6 Engine. Toyota had become a greedy and cheap vehicle manufacturer now. For shame Toyota. Do better or your customers will not buy or step foot on your dealerships.

Congratulations on your new truck. Whenever a person can save enough money to purchase a vehicle they have their heart set on, DO IT! You only live once and financing means paying interest and interest means "other people's money". If you're happy and feel good about what you did, then don't worry or listen to what other people say. Kudos to you for sharing your experience. Cheers!

[@SSPshooter72]

I'm proud of you to paying cash for your new truck. I ordered a '23 TRD OR Premium, put a substantial amount down and paid it off within the first year. Like you, I' was very specific about what I wanted, paid MSRP and waited 5 months to get it. I love not having the payment(we're 100% debt free). About the only time I can justify financing a vehicle is 0.0% APR or if the incentives encourage going through financing for a short time. At 52 years old, I hope to never borrow money for anything ever again.

The sales of the Tacoma are down because it just went on sale not even 6 months ago, of course it is down because there is very little availability, and the Colorado sales are up because it has been on sale for more than a full calender year so they have been able to ramp up production. If you look at the sales of the Colorado when they switched to the new gen, it took a huge nose dive, same thing with the new Ranger.

Once you get your first payment in the mail, write out a check for the full amount.

I don't make judgments on anyone's finances or what they buy and drive. That being said if you're happy with what you paid and got what you wanted that's all that matters... It's a beautiful truck!! Toyota has a great reputation for reliability which is something that is VERY important to me, I've been buying Toyota vehicles exclusively since 1990 when I bought my first 4X4 Pickup and I paid $15,500 out the door, I drove that truck for 20yrs without ANY major problems when I gave to my daughter, she traded it in 3yrs ago. I also bought a 1995 Four Runner that my wife drove for 10yrs til it was totaled in a wreck....My latest purchase was a 2019 TRD 4X4 that I bought from my neighbor 3yrs ago that he had upgraded with a lift, top of the line suspension and bigger tires and rims. He had over 5k in those upgrades.... I paid 35,000 cash, no financing for that truck (I hate care payments) I would never buy a used vehicle, you never know what abuse they may have had, but I've known my neighbor for 20yrs and I know he never abused anything he drove... The truck had ONLY 2,000 miles on it!!! He almost never drove it which is why he sold it. It's now my daily driver, it runs like a dream and it may very well be the last vehicle I ever buy, I'm retired and I don't drive a whole lot either, the odometer turned to 17,000 miles this week. The truck is barely 'broken in' as far as I'm concerned, it looks and drives like it's brand new. So long story short, I hope you're happy with your new truck. I'm sure you'll get lots of enjoyment out of it....Looking forward to seeing how you 'trick' this new one out!!!

damn, seems like that dealer really stuck it to you. taxes and licenses fees aren't fees you can avoid cause it goes to the state. you shouldn't pay the processing and delivery fee because that is paid from the manufacturer to the dealership or reimbursed I forgot which one. doc fees, why do you have to pay a fee for them to process your application for them to sell you a car? that is probably like an extra $2K you got scammed out. on top of that since you're not showing everything we don't really know how much they actually overcharged you for the tacoma. regardless these tacomas built in mexico, with sub par materials as the previous generation and now starting to have problems are not worth what they are asking for even at msrp or their discounts. YOU NEVER BUY A VEHICLE CASH, this is why they also screwed you. even if you're going to buy the vehicle cash you finance the vehicle through the dealer because they will give you the best possible deal on the vehicle or otdp. then when you get your first bill or any information regarding your loan you call the bank up and payoff the loan. paying a few days of interest because you financed a vehicle will save you thousands in the price of a vehicle if you're not stupid and know how to negotiate.

[@Garuda1415]

Here's the Copilot version of your rant; you might want to consider for next time: It sounds like that dealer really took advantage of you. Taxes and license fees are unavoidable since they go to the state. However, you shouldn’t have to pay the processing and delivery fee, as that cost is typically covered by the manufacturer or reimbursed to the dealership. As for the documentation fees, it’s questionable why you should pay for them to process your application to sell you a car. That could be an extra $2,000 you were overcharged. Additionally, without seeing all the details, it’s hard to determine how much they overcharged you for the Tacoma. Regardless, these Tacomas, built in Mexico with subpar materials compared to the previous generation and now starting to have problems, are not worth their asking price, even at MSRP or with discounts. You should never buy a vehicle with cash. This is another way they took advantage of you. Even if you plan to buy the vehicle with cash, you should finance it through the dealer to get the best possible deal on the vehicle or out-the-door price. Then, when you receive your first bill or any loan information, you can call the bank and pay off the loan. Paying a few days of interest because you financed the vehicle can save you thousands on the price if you know how to negotiate effectively.

From my local observation it's usually the small pickup trucks that actually get used for hard work, humping garden waste etc. Occasionally a bigger truck has been customized as a work truck with say a special frame on the bed, or it's covered in company logos. Mostly though they appear to be emotional support trucks.

It is ok. She paid for it in cash. She is not hurting for money. If you want to buy EXACTLY what you want, the dealership will rip you off. Go and try and find out.

Love your videos! I’m a Toyota nut Myself. In the last few years I’ve taken advantage of the market and traded up from a RAV4 to a Tacoma to a 4Runner and now the new Land Cruiser. I rented the new Tacoma from my local dealer and loved the new power train. Can’t wait to start mods on this LC and I’m excited to see what you do with the new Tacoma!!

I bought my 2011 prerunner sr5 2016 100k miles for $15k. I drove it for 7 years and put 70k on it then gave it to my son as his first car. He loves it.

Chloe - I too recently purchased a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road. To be honest - all I was looking for was the Solar Octane color which I hear is a $425 add... I would have been happy with an SR5. It took months of searching and I finally found one at the same lot I purchased my 2022 SR5 Tacoma. I do Agree - I went back and forth A LOT with Sales... Same MSRP $42,900. This one had mud guards, Door Edge Guards, and the Upgrade Package ($4,649) plus Delivery/Processing/Handling.. Brought it to a whopping $50,525.00 in the end, I was able to get them to drop about $2k from their asking price and I was able to slide over about $10,000. of equity from my 2022 then leased.. I walked out of the dealership twice - the numbers weren't where I wanted them - and I was perfectly fine leaving with old my Blue Crush SR5. Both times the sales folks magically found some more reductions and got things closer to a more manageable monthly payment... I'm really happy with my choice... I think the only gripe (and it's not really a gripe) is that this new truck likes to pull the wheel away from me if I stray to close to lines - it used to just BEEP... I love your clips. You're doing a great job...

[@chrissanders541]

its a really nice truck I don't think u got hurt for what u got its really nice. I paid 45 grand cash out the door in san francisco for my SR5 4x4 & then added the 3,700 bucks worth of TRD, and other upgrades skid plate cold air intake air filter oil cap radiator cap gear shifter knob Z36 tow brake package Michelin 10 ply E rated Defender mud and snow (work great on the beach by the way) I really like it and you're right the TRD intake makes a difference. 🎌

[@BB-nw3mj]

I was going to trade my 2009 with 200,000k miles on a 2024 until I saw the pricing... so I just kept it and bought a Honda Civic 6 spd manual instead for 27,000. Best move I ever made.

[@BobSmith-h3v]

I live in Washington State and back in 2022, a Toyota dealership in north Seattle, marked up a Tacoma 10k just because it was the only one on their lot. The final price would have been close to $60,000. It was a 22, green TRD OFF-ROAD LB. Along with a few other issues, that was one of my worst experiences at a dealership. Also, this was the first time stepping into a Toyota dealership. Here in Washington, some dealers with drive a car around for a few hundred miles and then say it’s “used”. That way they can increase the price. They used to also add on a fee called, “Northwest Market Adjustment” which was from $3500 -10k.

[@sandan500]

Don't let anyone tell you that you can beat the dealer in negotiations because you cannot. They do this everyday and you don't know the manufacturer's incentives to the dealer. Do the best you can and don't worry. At the end of the day if you are still happy with the trucks after a year you will forget how much you paid.

[@overunder_4x4]

Congratulations on the new truck. It is pretty awesome 💪🏼 You chose a great one.

I am a 100% Toyota fan, I learned this from my father and grandfather from the country where I come from, we love Toyota, they are known for the quality of these vehicles, especially on bad roads! I have a Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 that I bought in 2018, I love this truck, so far I haven't had any problems! I think it will be my last Toyota, those prices are ridiculous, too much money.

[@Baasicstuff]

Dam that was more than my Grand Highlander..4T AWD it was $56k OUT the door. I would have used my plantform to get a better deal. On another note, Great engine, kicks the V6 Ass. The Tacoma v6 and old transmission were terrible... no kids? don't worry about the cost HAVE KIDS! Anyone my age always regrets not having more or some, around 40 I stopped loving my things and really enjoyed helping my Mom and wish I had more kids. I paid cash for my new GH also....6.5% financing can suck it...we had no choice our Honda Pilot was totaled. Cars are just going to get more expensive, might as well buy.

[@CammyL-i9p]

I purchased my Sport in Orange County for $51k OTD. The suggested MSRP was $46k without taxes, registration, etc. I've been looking since October and wasn't able to locate the color and options I want until June. I've went to four dealership and they were not willing to go below $50k OTD. The only thing it doesn't have is the automatic tailgate which I overlooked because it had all the other functionality I had. But low key, the automatic gate would have been great. Congrats on your new Taco! I look forward to your upcoming mods and reviews.

[@TheRealJonWayne]

I just received my 24 TRD PRO in terra after waiting 3+ months and Im having a blast with it. The hybrid engine is super zippy but definitely more geared toward power than economy. I paid 89 all said and done (Canada) which was the same as the print out from the Toyota website. When asked, the dealer said they aren't aloud to mark up above MSRP 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@barneymiller4088]

I wonder if the slow supply is due to all the shared parts with so many other vehicles in the Toyota lineup. I think the Tacoma shares most parts with Land Cruiser, 4Runner, Lexus GX, … and some part or parts are struggling to ramp up and causing a bottle neck in production. They delayed the shipping of the hybrid about 6 months and then they are trickling in.

[@jonsilver5833]

Congratulations on being financially smart! I'm a fan of Toyota but I would buy a Ranger Raptor for that price. California sales tax is a joke I live in Hawaii and sales tax is 4%

At the end of the day Chloe it’s your truck and you got the deal you could at the time. As long as you feel good about that, that’s all that matters. You were transparent about what you paid for it and I’m sure the audience appreciated that. Theres always going to be naysayers but imo the price point has come ⬆️ quite abit between the Gen 3 & now the Gen 4. Hope this Taco brings you a lot of joy.

I bought mine for 39,800 or 41k OTD. I appreciate your videos on the truck!

[@MrTabak73]

First off - kudos to you for openly sharing the price and your experience...I think the more this type of information gets out the more "honest" the dealerships will have to be. In terms of pricing...I think that all trucks in this segment are priced higher than the value they offer. Given recent toyota recalls and tacoma drivetrain issues this is more prevalent with Toyota. In general the market it overpriced by ~15% relative to the new content of the trucks. Also, really appreciate the "paid in cash" sentiment...I think given the current interest rates financing or Leasing just isn't a smart choice for any consumer. Buy the car you can pay cash for...

[@badcerealcat4047]

[@RossMalagarie]

if you are considering the Tacoma TRD Off Road look at the Chevy Colorado Trail Boss. I speced them both with as close as I could get them and the TB came to $43K and the Off Road came to $55K and then most Tacomas get the mark up and most Chevys get $1k-$4K off MSRP so that helps much more too

[@joshdudeguy2830]

His answer about why not directly sell vehicles to consumers is bullshit. No customer was like "I love being price gouged and spending 12 hours ins a cold room to get my truck." I just did this yesterday for my TH. Fought to get the price I got on it. Paid it halfway off right from the get-go so I could finance something to keep my credit high. You can have the service area of the dealership stick around. Only sales would be impacted. I guarantee if you ask ANYONE which way they'd rather buy a car they'd rather pick exactly what's on it, know the price ahead of time, and have it shipped to them or left in a lot to be picked up. No greedy fingers grabbing for my pocketbook.

[@markf8256]

What he failed to mention is that many states do not allow direct to consumer sales of automobiles. Tesla had to lobby several states for changes to their laws to allow direct to consumer sales of Teslas.

Paid just over $31k for base model SR 4dr in Sept 2021. I would have bought the 2dr base for under $30k but wanted the V6 & towing package. I have it paid for and plan on driving it until rust eats it away (live in rust belt). So glad I bought before their prices went nuts and the 4cyl turbo.

[@onlysublime]

paying all in cash actually results in a higher negotiated price because the dealer won't be making any money off monthly payments.

[@DeepDish-n6o]

Really great review and I give so much credit for the hard work. Truth be told I love Toyota and if things were different I would have bought one. Asking what they are asking is insane and a down right insult to the taco culture. I had so many problems with my 19 Tacoma, the service team, sales team, and corporate that the prices are the last straw. Sadly, while it is a great platform the competition is catching up and providing many of the same features at a much lower price. These rigs are not $15-20k better than the competition. To each their own, I mean no disrespect, but there are some great vehicles out that companies are standing by.

Thank you for letting us know the cost of your truck, and I'm sure you will enjoy it! I priced a new 2024 trd offoad on Toyota's website and it was close to 56k when I got to the final pricing. Toyota is relying on people who have purchased Toyota's in the past to justify their huge price increase in the past few years.

[@barneymiller4088]

I am in the market for a truck and I am watching the Tacoma inventories. I would think the Trail Hunter and Pro would be very popular, but I am seeing them available on the lots. I think that people would like them, but the price is too high. They are a mid-$50s truck priced at $63k. People are backing down to the Off-road with the Premium Package. It is still over priced but at least in the $50s.

[@4RNERTRD]

The bright side of your purchase is you bought exactly what you like, you can use it for a lot of things and it should last although it’s a new model but it should last so not a terrible pay especially if you have a good job you can quickly save that money if I was you I would save every month that 1000$ monthly payment you would have paid and put it in a high yields savings account. The negative is that you could of got it on a loan and wrote it off as the years go by idk how much your making on KZbin but you should be able to right off you cars since it’s a Tacoma page and it brings in money that way however if I’m not mistaken since you paid cash you can only right it off this year idk I would have talked to my accountant before buying it.
