What if they made those features standard and forced you to pay for them up front and you didn’t want them? Would that be greedy as well? Because they’re not putting anything on it for free… If Remote Connect is free for 3 years and you keep the vehicle an additional 10, that is $800 for 13 years of remote start. If you’re like most people and keep it for 6 years, you’re paying $240 for remote start - but only if you choose to. No one is forcing you to… It’s providing options for customers and the cost breakdown for what you’re getting is not that bad IMHO.

So far no one has compared the storage behind and below the rear seat to the 2023 Tacoma. My 2023 Tacoma has huge storage areas behind and below the seats and the main reason for not buying a Ranger. Tools, cleaning stuff, hydraulic jack, bags, extra drinks etc. are some of the stuff I store. The 2024 Tacoma does not appear to have the same storage especially behind the seats.
@dvader32639 ай бұрын
While the 3rd gen Tacoma rear seat storage was nice for small items, the negative regarding the 3rd gen rear seat was the need to flip the bottom seat cushion forward to create a flat surface to carry heavy, dirty, pointy or bulky items. The rear seat headrests needed to be removed, or the front seat first needed to be moved forward, then the rear seat-back could be folded down for a flat load surface. It's as if the 3 rd gen rear seat was copied from the SUV 4Runner, instead of operating like a Ford F-150 or Honda Ridgeline fold up rear seat, where you could carry taller items like pressure washers, wheeled portable tool boxes or small wood chippers sitting on the floor inside the cab in an upright position.

I had a 2007 Tacoma with a composite bed. I can contest that with much abuse and hauling that bed was as good as the day I bought it 13 yrs later.

My 2020 Tundra has a steel bed and I had to put a bed rug kit in it so I would not dent it. A lot of that trash was ordered or added by the dealer as add on rip offs.

Then the engine cover is another thing I dislike a lot mostly for the noise but also it looks bad.

@davep461010 ай бұрын
I'm going to bet that the small-ish fuel tank is because of weight. Every gallon of gas means a few pounds less payload, for a given GVWR, and potentially might trigger some threshold in EPA testing to give 0.1 MPG worse rating. I've seen elsewhere that the TRD Off-Road has a payload rating of exactly 1200 pounds. If you add a gallon of gas and the payload is 1192, people's heads will think "1100" instead of 1200.

Your reasoning is spot on, but I think the reviewers were correct. The hybrid Taco is coming out later this spring, and this smaller gas tank is probably in anticipation of that version. Toyota is very unlikely to have two different sized tanks within the same model. It is a legitimate complaint to have such a small tank in a vehicle that is 1. expected to tow & 2. be purchased by rural consumers driving long distances by necessity. I hope Toyota is listening!

The subscription thing is super annoying. Like someone else said, considering the price on these trucks, having to subscribe to fully use it is ridiculous. As for the hard plastic, there’s undoubtedly a cost saving aspect. But also trucks didn’t used to be “cushy” like luxury cars. 😁 I noticed there’s an under hood insulator available. It’s expensive for what it’s, but I think it might be worth it.

Bring the truck back into truck. These new so called trucks are all cab with a mini truck bed (5' come on) and I know sometimes you can find a dealer with a 6' bed still short though. My 1980 Toyota SR5 pickup had a 7' 2" bed, perfect for camping with a topper on it.

Even if you only get 20 miles per gallon you're still getting 360 mi out of a tank I don't know what your 260 and 280 is?

You got taken by the dealership. The dealership added the protection package, not Toyota
@TexasTruckChannel10 ай бұрын
The protection package was spec’d from the factory, not added after the fact by the dealer. That being said, they can be added on at the dealer level.

What would be the approx. shipping cost to Europe?
@edburck9 ай бұрын
You'd need to wait to buy used. USA dealer agreements prohibit exports, dealers doing so risk penalties from fines to losing their franchise.

It's $80 per year or $8 a month. If I want the app start for my 2019 Tacoma that was what it was. But that has a button on the Fob. My 2023 ZR2 also has a dedicated button on the Fob.

i just test drove one. its actually pretty impressive compared to 3rd gen. especially the interior and screen. button set ups/location are good. I still think 3rd gen has a better shaped body though. like, seeing it in person was less impressive compared to video/pictures. idk about the engine. I'm sure its fine for life span but its noticeably louder than the v6 and not in a good way. sounds like it has to work way harder to do the same things. (obviously, 4 cylinder). you defiantly hear the turbo when you're driving and hit the accelerator. Transmission feels good. especially on those rolling stops when 3rd gen cant decided if it wants to be in 1st or 2nd gear lol.

Hope you wrote down your list of issues and took/will take it to the dealer and have them documented. Not just to have them fixed or even to “complain” but for Toyota to have the information to make adjustments and improvements in production. As you pointed out this is the first run of the first year. Toyota is still just as meticulous about their own quality standards as they were 30 years ago when they really earned the reputation. Just recently They took a million mile 30 year old Tacoma back at their engineering facility to inspect the engine. They want to continuously know about issues to improve them. Unlike most manufacturers.
