Toyota took ten steps backward with this, starting with the pricing.....the engine......loss of reliability.....complexity, etc. Did I mention the insane PRICING??

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

50 grand for a 4 cylinder engine regardless if it has turbos is completely ridiculous turbochargers are going to ruin that small engine over time and in the long run you're going to end up paying out of your you know what. Usually these things will break down just slightly right after the warranty. And then you're screwed. You gotta keep making V8 pay the government fine because in the long run if people get what they want in this country they'll sell enough of those V8 trucks and they'll be able to pay the fine. These Japanese companies don't get it and don't give what the American people want then just don't make a product at all. Humans will survive without Toyota trucks.

Turbo is perfect !!! On small cars haha

[@cageordie]

The world is full of turbo diesels running for decades without significant trouble. It just depends how well implemented they are, and whether you avoid known ways to kill them. Basically don't run them hard when they are stone cold, or switch them off when they are glowing. Modern engines, like the Chevy 2.7T take care of the hot shutdown with separate cooling and lubrication which stays on even after switching the engine off. Starting your car in North Dakota on a cold winter day and immediately revving it hard will also result in turbo failure. 200,000rpm and oil like treacle don't mix well.

[@cageordie]

@@mibz1117 Really? So nobody could have got a million miles out of a RAM 3500 Cummins diesel in the Athabasca oilfields of Alberta. Hoovies Garage bought one and it was still working pretty well. Neither small nor a car. Diesels aren't magic, they just have correctly specified turbos.

Who asked for a complex turbo engine that nobody can fix? They killed the lifespan and are charging the highest prices. It may look good but I’m not spending ridiculous money on something that won’t last like their products of the past. The lack of quality control and further issues get in the way of confidence and trust that was built from ownership of previous models. A 9-Toyota history of ownership and I can’t see another one at this point with all their problems, pricing and changes that have made no sense.

All valid points, but another sinful blight against today’s Toyota is their allocation-only sales model. They milked the COVID shortages as long as they could (to maximize $$), they’ve kept inventory levels low as long as they could (to maximize $$), and still they have the audacity to decide **for us** which vehicles get tossed our way, if they feel like it. No special orders, no requests, just take what WE give you and say thank you. Huh?? Those trucks and everything else they try to force-feed us the customers can sit there and rot.

[@steinb6271]

As a three time previous Taco owner fanboy myself (most recently a '19 TRD-OR), Toyota successfully sold me on a Ranger Raptor....it was cheaper, it has a V6, it has a usable rear seat, has real bump stops, both front and rear lockers, live shocks, no stupid "port add-on's", and it doesn't look like it's dented under the side rear view mirrors. If I wouldn't have gotten a Raptor slightly under MSRP, then a ZR2/AT4X wouldn't been my next choice. Shocking that both GM and Ford have more compelling products at lower price points. Toyota is coasting an blind brand loyalty, but that only goes so far...

[@Slammingutz]

I 💯 agree with you. I was also a 28 year loyal Toyota fan and customer until the new CEO made the decisions to cheapen the brand across the board and charge outrageous MSRP for low quality parts and cheap labor out of Mexico. I hope Toyota watches these videos and reads the comments of their old customers or else they will be in big financial distress.

$55K for a decently equipped midsize pickup (Tacoma Limited) that is still not as wide as a Ridgeline interior, nor wide enough to carry 4x8 sheets flat. Not to mention very very rare Limited editions. Assembled in Mexico. Turbo engine. Top of the line Black Edition Ridgeline is $49K and assembled in the USA 🇺🇸and still has a V6 VTEC DOHC and can haul drywall and plywood flat.

[@adir_1]

This is my complaint 100% of the time. These manufacturers make "trucks" that can't even haul building material. It's ridiculous. Especially when you look under the truck and see 3-4 inches on each wheel well that's empty space between the tire. Not to mention payload on the Ridgeline is 1500 lbs. I just wish Honda would bring it up to date.

[@michaelp4834]

What's going to happen to that secondary market with hybrid platforms? Most consumers seeking a used Tacoma or Tundra would probably find it prohibitive to repair these platforms, especially to obtain new hybrid batteries. I think this is a whole lot of "happy horse [blank]" projections by Toyota and other OEMs. It's planned obsolescence as you've said in the past, which I think will do long-term damage. And those panel gaps are outrageous. I remember the fender (over the right rear wheel well) on one of the Toyota trucks you showed in an earlier video. It appeared to have little bumps throughout. Who's doing quality control in Mexico for Toyota?

[@williammortl3110]

1.) Toyota hybrid cars? *chefs kiss* 2.) The hybrid Tacoma gets Ford Ranger mileage - I don’t know how it’s some carbon credit play 3.) the Ranger and S-10 once ruled this segment until they let the Tacoma take it over - this is a huge mistake that will allow the Ranger, Colorado, and Frontier back into the race. The days of Tacoma dominance are over. So, no - I don’t think that this Tacoma will be beloved. The only way they get a death grip on this segment is offering a 4x4 SR5 with a NA V6 for about $38K

[@Slammingutz]

I 💯 agree with ya bud. I hate to say it, but I don’t think Toyota will go back to the V6 days.

Until you own a new Tacoma and live with it everyday you really are nothing but a bystander speculating on it. The fact is people have been complaining about every new change on cars/trucks for as long as I can remember. People complained about going from bias ply tires to radials, from points to electronic ignition, manual transmissions to automatics, drum brakes to disc brakes, vacuum/electrical engine controls to computer controls, push rods to overhead cams, V8 to V6s, steel bumpers to body concealed bumpers, incandescent lights to halogen lights, and list goes on and on. Really you’re just the current generation complaining about this or that and “if they only hadn’t changed this”. The good thing is you’re monetizing it and earning some cash off it. I’m sure over time you will warm up to your twin turbo hybrid Sequoia with the dreaded 3.5 V6. Finally, the 5.7 V8 had its share of early problems and Toyota did what Toyota does and worked through the issues.

[@outdoorswithzeke5783]

Toyota Tacoma Fails as listed: catastrophic failure on Auto/Manual Transmissions and over heating on Automatic Transmissions (my co-worker has experienced this the first 2 months of ownership), suspension top hat failing and breaking through to the frame/body, CV axles snapping on light duty off roading, transfer cases failing, whining and failing rear differential, interior climate controls/knobs breaking, infotainment screen breaking or needing rebooted after a couple of months, interior gloveboxes rattling and center console is flimsy, fit and finish is very cheap plastic and thin. A few engine problems have been happening like fail turbos or an issue with check engine light coming on (unknown’s at this time I’ll keep reading the forums). Way overpriced MSRP for a Mexico made low quality and problematic issues. Toyota also recommends changing the spark plugs every 40K miles on the new turbo engines, the cost to replace the spark plugs is close to $1,000. This truck hasn’t been out very long and the list of problems and added maintenance just keeps going up and up. Toyota, you really failed big time.

[@ArnoldsDesign]

It's almost like they don't want us owning heavier vehicles. The "You'll own nothin' and be happy" sort of thing. But it's probably just greed.

[@johnmckenna4256]

Come to New Jersey, Your head will explode when you look at the $47,000 SR5s or the $57,000 TRD Off Roads, When I bought my 2022 my dealer never had a Tacoma sitting on the lot, just the one in the showroom, today there was 13 on the lot and they have been there a while

[@livefreeandshred9818]

We. Want. The. V6. And. The V8. BACK.

[@Freedomjustice-DC]

For every person that criticizes these, there are 4 people who will buy them. Its the way things are these days

[@rndsommer40]

RIP Tacoma. Very Happy to have my 2022 TRDOR

[@josephchiarello11]

Couldn’t they offer ice as an option at least?

[@josephkelleher8820]

I am keeping my 2012 Nissan Altima which has bulletproof after almost 13 years of driving my car. It still has the original CVT transmission. In my opinion NO 12' Camry is better than my car. Toyota Camry better than my car? Not really.

[@RichCatelli]

A few times these past couple of months I get "Let me know if you want to sell your truck" notes for my 2018 TRD off-road Tundra

[@reynolds354]

You mention that these are all over the roads now but I am not seeing that very much in my area (Atlanta). The few that I see look so cheap to me, they honestly look worse in person than in pics.

[@Slammingutz]

I agree 💯. They look cheap because they are extremely cheap after you actually drive it and sit in the cheaply made seats and cheap plastic interior and exterior components.

[@dell7054]

4 BANGER hahaha😂😮😅😂😮😂😮😂 for 60k

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

4 banger is not an issue. Tacoma has always had a 4 cylinder option.

[@callofdutyguy9]

They don’t even offer the manual with the XtraCab which is Toyota heritage for decades.

[@practicalperformance]

Recently leased a 24 Taco off road. Always respected Toyota but have never had a Toyota truck before. I really like how the 24 Tacoma drives, plenty of power and tons of torque from the turbo 2.4. Trans shifts nicely and the truck feels very responsive. Suspension is good for light off road and routine daily use in all conditions. I don't understand all the hate for this truck. It was about $45k selling price on a $50k MSRP. High Toyota residual values make the lease attractive. But I agree these trucks, and all new vehicles really, have gotten a lot more expensive. Before you pass judgement, go drive one, you might like it.

[@JohnnyReno71]

I don’t see many on the road at least in my neck of the woods. Ok I’m not in a big time city but with past models I’ve see them all over the place Also I’m wondering how bad the new 4 Runner is going to be..

[@Slammingutz]

The 2025 4Runner will be like the New Tacoma’s unfortunately, so do not buy the new 4Runners either. Toyota is a greedy corporation now and it definitely shows since 2022 models came out and the new CEO came into the picture.

[@J.Young808]

I wish I got a 1991 Toyota Hilux standard cab, 4x4, all manual 22re short bed.

[@kurtbeck5809]

I still have my 2004 Tacoma reg cab 4x4 auto with the 2.7 4 cylinder and 110,000 miles . No real issues since new

[@J.Young808]

@@kurtbeck5809 it would have been nice to have known my mechanic friend (meet him late 2018) in 2017 when my Dad’s 1995 xtra cab 4x4 V6 manual; transmission, windows & locks, lost compression in one cylinder. He sold it for $1,000 to an acquaintance of my sister.

[@mikeyID]

Toyota keeps going backwards. I’m ready for them to start doing things right

[@julesmartel254]

The biggest problem this new generation of Tacomas has, are the trolls on KZbin. When every car manufacture makes new and upgraded changes to any of their vehicles there are going to be hiccups, find me one new/car truck that A-doesn’t have trolls and B-the vehicle has no problems whatsoever, people want perfection right out of the gate!! It doesn’t work like that. You can never over see everything and be perfect. I have a 2024 Tacoma and I love it, I am a lease person as I don't put alot of miles on my vehicles and if anything breaks down on it I'm covered 100% including a rental, peace of mind for me!!! Yes I will always have a payment but I like a new every two or three. Yes their trucks are way over priced but the fact that there are so many sitting at my dealers lot it was a perfect bargaining chip for me, I got the deal I wanted and didn't budge!!!! I had a 2014 Tundra and loved it but it was time for an upgrade and since I don't tow big stuff it was too much truck for me. My Tacoma is perfect and super fun to drive and I use every safety feature!! So for those afraid to take a chance on any new car or truck, just make sure you get a full warranty with it whether your buying or leasing!! Hey you just might like it!!!

[@TruckinRoundTv]

Nobody wants turbos…you take a inadequate engine and boost it so its basically always running at peak…as in with a NA v6/v8 they’re hardly ever working at peak = lasting forever!…

[@craighanks429]

If the transmission in the Civic was a CVT I wouldn’t be surprised, I’d favor a standard 6 spd or a regular automatic any day, but I’ve leased Honda’s for the last 11 years & haven’t had a lick of trouble with any of them.(3 Accords, a Pilot & my present Ridgeline).

[@Utvolsch]

Looks like they are redesigning the 25. Offering a. 6cyl. Can’t wait to see that price

[@adamwilson301]

V6 no turbo drop the price for base models and really all models and I’d be considering a Tacoma. I’ll just keep my V6 forever

[@chrisfrank8413]

Ranger Raptor- 55k. Called Confirmation Bias. MSRP was way way over inflated, it's still overpriced even with the discounts. Plus the made in Mexico, Uhg. Slap in the face to the American truck buyer. Sad.

[@TillThenPlease]

Hahaha, presenting the changes sarcastically as a 'positive', actually made the point even clearer how far they've fallen. It shows how absurd it sounds to talk about these changes in a positive light.

[@ScottC79]

If it was just a matter of producing more units, why don’t other companies do that?

[@bigal6684]

I don't think people are buying them just because they are there, but they have a stellar reputation and hands down best resale value. A vehicle doesn't have to be less reliable simply because it's more complex.....but it seems as if all the manufacturers have found ways to deliver poor quality at every turn.

[@cageordie]

Hate it? Questionable engines, garbage strut towers, extremely questionable front axle, garbage transmission. So, currently, no sale. I don't hate the new engines, but if the afore mentioned parts are failing on new vehicles then it doesn't matter how many of what they produce, I won't buy it. Their problem is that if they get a reputation for lacking reliability they won't sell. The Stelantis lots are full. That can happen to Toyota too. Toyota sells because they have a reputation for reliability, not because they are Toyota. If the new engines and transmissions had been reliable they might have been able to justify the cost. But I can get a mid spec Silverado 2500 for well under $60k. If I was buying tomorrow I'd probably buy the Nissan Frontier PRO-4X for a shade under $40k. For what I do the extra $10k for a 4Runner isn't worth it. 25% extra to enclose the rear end.

[@Slammingutz]

Exactly. Spot on.

[@bigbs403]

I got in the tacoma access cab. ... why are the bumpers plastic 😅😅

[@HotSizzleTV_]

I’m going for the Nissan frontier I wasted four years waiting for a redesign

[@UntamedMotors]

Don’t blame you one bit 👌 least you can trust the Frontier 💯
