I am an engineer, and when I changed jobs to the automotive industry, one of my first projects was equipment installs for parts that would end up on the 2024 Tacoma. I was coming up on needing a new vehicle, and was super excited to pick up one of the 2024 Tacomas since I had a hand in their production, as I've always liked Toyotas. I was eager for this truck the entire time I was working on the project and was even ready to settle on the turbo 4, cause I could look at the truck in my driveway and say I did a part of that. About a week ago was when I finally got my new truck. A Nissan Frontier Pro 4X. That's what I thought of the new Tacomas and their pricing.

You made the right move because the Nissan frontiers are very simple but sturdy. True metal bed. The pro 4x has the nice Bilstein, I saw someone comment on a video recently that he took his frontier on a 3 Canadian province road trip and went the equivalent of like 8,800 miles or something in the Nissan and it was great. The seats seem to be better in the Nissan also, but the negative is the turn radius. I’d take the Nissan over this joke of a Toyota. You can get a fully fully decked out pro 4x for like $42k

I drove to this dealership from California because they had the best deals. I must of saved over 8k on my vehicle. Back in October 2023 a lot of the California Toyota dealers were adding a thing called “ Dealer adjustment or addendum “ which was as high as 5k. They would then make you purchase options at a highly inflated price. Things like $1500 for ceramic coating or $1500 for catalytic converter guard or both. Sorry for getting off-subject, but I saw who the dealership was and I had to agree with Motor Feed.

[@nkyryry]

It’s fucking simple. The prices jumped $10,000 for most trims. And the powertrain is a turbo 4cyl. That’s all you need to know. They thought we’d buy them up faster than they could make them.

I wouldn't touch the V6TT tundra with a 10 foot pole. They're starting to pop up now on used sites for a lot lower price as owners try to unload them before the end of the warranty. On the other hand, the tacoma with 35's is wild. Nice setup. Even so, I'm not paying that for a Tonka truck. I wanted to put 35 - 12.50 bfg's on my 2000 V8 dakota years ago. However, I would've had to increase clearance with at least 3" lift, and lower the axle ratios which can be involved, so it opens up a whole can of worms. I just left the 31 - 10.50's on it, and ran it to 314,000 miles. It was an excellent truck.

EPA regs make US trucks HUGE! For anyone that doesn't know it's based on a formula where a Giant truck getting 22MPG is > than a small Truck getting 34. Using these formulas it was said a 1980 Toyota dimension would have to get something like 46 MPG, plus you'd have to toss in more weight for safety vs 1980.

Serious question: Don’t their trucks last a lot longer than other competitors? I heard somewhere that if you do regular maintenance you can get 500k miles out of them.

[@FreyGrimrod]

The prior generations were known for that. Stuffing turbos to force more HP out of a smaller engine has never gone well for longevity in the history of the internal combustion engine. So it remains to be seen but common wisdom is the new 2024 models don't have a prayer of a 300k mile engine where the prior could make a million miles with maintenance.

I purchased the 2023 Toyota Tundra Hybrid TRD Pro. I received a recall notice from Toyota about the tire's excess wear on the outside edge, this was due to an improper alignment from the manufacturer that has destroyed the outside edge of the tires. I took it to Winter Park Toyota, and the service advisory stated that all four tires needed to be replaced since they were already rotated, but they would have to send the information to Toyota warranty for the final approval. I was shocked when they advised me that Toyota would only replace three of the four tires. even after the service advisor stated that all four tires needed to be replaced. I contacted the Toyota advocate and explained the situation they advised me that someone would contact me within 24 hours, after waiting a week I called back and explained the situation again that Winter Park Toyota advised me that all four tires needed to be replaced, I then took it to Toyota of Seminole County and the service advisory also stated that all four tires needed to be replaced but they had to wait for approval from Toyota. The advocate said they would need to submit another claim to a different department and here I'm still waiting with no response from Toyota to resolve this issue.

some of the "NEW" parts that they put on that SR5 are probably FREE takeoffs from another vehicle that they sold already. Someone probably came in and bought a TRD and wanted to upgrade the wheels immediately upon purchase. The dealership sold them new wheels and didn't buy the old wheels from the customer. The customer probably didn't realize that at the time they purchased the truck they owned TWO seats of wheels and tires.
