@@chrisfoxwell4128 Toyota isn’t the brand we knew before. The new generation is significantly more in price and with many corners cut. My wife has a 2020 RX 350, it has real wood and leather etc. the new one is just sea of plastic and less features, but much more expensive. The worst part is, Toyota is selling cars way cheaper internationally, only charging US/Canada premium. Just returned to Canada from overseas, I went to see a Tacoma sibling hilux top trim that costs CAD$40k+, comparable Tacoma is costing more than double here in Canada. RAV4 top trim is CAD30k+ overseas, and more than double in Canada.

That being said, the TRD PRO models have NEVER been good value propositions. They're for the "unlimited budget", "blank check" Toyota diehard.

@nikolaysedletskiy5076 genesis has taken constructive criticism and its has skyrocketed ever since. Toyota is basing its glory still from when they took over the 70s and then on with high quality while other foreign brands had bad quality. But that train can only last so long until you come to a time where alot of tech is being packed into cars and its at this point impossible to maintain decades long quality with so many electronics.

[@Psichlo1]

Toyota is rapidly going down the wrong path. Aside from the engine issues that everyone knows about on the Tundra, I have heard complaints of cheap and interior that rattles a lot. I can't wrap my head around what they are thinking. This is what happened with Honda a few years back when they started cheaping out on their amenities and interior and raised their prices. It seem like they have to cheap out on the interior to at least keep the MSRP "reasonable" . 65k for a small truck is absurd, no matter how you cut it. I just bought my wife a 24 4Runner and I hated having to pay 50k. I don't even want to know what they're going to ask for the 25's. In a world where vehicles prices are skyrocketing and quality is going down, I think I will stick with my 14 SIenna and 14 Camaro and be happy that I don't have to pay what current prices are. The unfortunate side of that is that parts for older vehicles are getting more and more expensive and harder to find. It would seem that manufacturers are intentionally trying to force people into the newer overpriced garbage they are producing. As a lifetime Toyota fan, I am extremely disappointed in the direction that Toyota is going. It seriously seems like they have become so reliant on their historical reliability that they think people will pay an exorbitant amount for anything they offer. I think those days are rapidly coming to an end; and if the issues with the Tundra are any indication of what is to come for Toyota, I think you're going to see more and more people leaving in droves and keeping their older cars as long as they possibly can.

[@2nickles647]

So you are complaining about Spending $$$$$ and now bragging about spending $$$$ on a new vehicle for your wife an over priced garbage. I haven't bought a new truck since 2003. And I didn't buy the truck for my wife. We decided to buy the truck for both of us.

[@bobhayes8750]

I just paid $50K for a '24 4Runner Limited - that's more than the cost of my previous two vehicles put together. But, the alternative was to wait for a '25 4Runner and pay even more for a small displacement turbo engine. Toyota keeps pushing out the release date for the '25 4Runner - I halfway think they know quite well sales will drop off and they're keeping the '24 available as long as they can. BTW take a good look at the data Toyota is pulling off your 4Runner - unless you shut down all the data apps / services (and likely few folks do that) Toyota is pulling location, odometer, driving style (I'm not kidding) and selling that info to insurance companies or data brokers.

Lexus is already having to add seals on them I believe to correct it but the fact that it made it all the way to the consumer with obvious fit/finish/"quality" feel issues at that price point is more concerning to me than the issue itself. They've gotten lazy because they know, at least subconsciously, that anything they make (and make look cool, the designers are on a roll) will sell. Now they're risking losing their foundational customers who literally came to them because they wanted the product designed to last forever, not the one designed to look coolest in the fraternity parking lot. Unfortunately for us, our plan was to have a Tacoma TRD pro and a GX Overtrail+ hybrid (when it starts production) and now we're cancelling deposits on both.

I can't recall if the Tacoma was designed (and built) in the US like it's bigger brother Tundra is, but I think this shows Toyota should've stuck to their Japan design studios, engineers, and manufacturing centres, cause this thing stinks of a US domestic truck in regards to the cheapness, cost and corner cutting! My only critique of your review though, is you did not mention the WIDE SPREAD issues with the rear (and front) differentials blowing up, and transmissions, and how Toyota's fix will be to "reprogram" (aka GIMP) your transmission / engine performance to stop it from happening.

If I want to go back further, in 1991 I bought a new Honda Civic Hatchback for $6900 in todays money that would be $15,685 where can you buy a new Civic Hatch for $15k? You can't.. If you think this type of inflation is ok? I am assuming your a Liberal. Because its NOT ok. This is ridiculous and it needs to stop. The average American Family earns $76k per year, but the average new car price is $48,600 in 2020 that average was $38k. SO MUCH has changed in the last 4 yrs. I wonder why? I am guessing you will blame covid? mmmm ok. The average American family cannot afford the new car prices. These are facts. Prices like this new Toyota Truck are so off the hook ridiculous and most will tell you the new truck will not last as long as the old ones either. Why?

I had a lot of high tech gear and computer issue problems with a Ford F150 Platinum (2015) and a 2020 GMC AT4 that replaced it. The ford was rear-ended and the sensors and computers never worked after that and I got continual faults no matter what the dealer did. The AT4 engine blew up due to faulty lifters. Thank goodness it was under warranty or it would have cost 10K to fix. So, I sold the AT4 to a dealer and watched a bunch of your videos and ended up with a 2024 4runner TRD Off-Road Premium. I added a mild 1-½ inch leveling kit to the front. Painted and blacked out the silver knobs on the inside and the silver valences and other small mods so it looks very much like a TRD Pro. All that is cosmetic, but I love it. It is simple. Reliable. Easy to operate. When I am in the mountains of NC I often use it in Manual mode which is so smooth and address the gear hunting issue that many complain about. I hope to have it a very long time. I really appreciate your videos on how to change the oil and when and other tips. Because of you, I own this great 4runner. Thanks.

My opinion of Toyota has changed over the past couple of months. Quality is heavily compromised at this point across all Toyota products. Even the recent builds of non-facelifted/updated models are seeing quality issues. 4 neighbors who recently purchased have made a couple of visits to the dealership with issues already. Granted some of the visits had to do with poorly built interior plastic components. 3 of those vehicles are built in Japan. Not sure what’s going on, but I’ll keep my 2021 Toyo for a long time and hopefully the brand will get back to making robust, reliable vehicles. Really hope they pay more attention to their core strength. A friend of mine who works there said that part of the issue is that there is an overall disappointment with a good portion of their engineers with the hybridization of several vehicles.
