The truck we expect our 3rd gen to be?

Mercedes 800hp truck.

I might need to take a trip over the pond and take a test drive. I’m sure my family would rather live in this than a house right! I mean this is everything I expected in a 3rd gen $40k Tacoma.

 

No thanks. I will stick with my shin skinning, tire rubbing, gear hunting, clutch pedal squeaking, thin paint, noisy speaker cover, under powered car engined, needing a catch can, not enough towing capacity, 4x4 switch in the wrong location Tacoma.


I missed a bunch. Please edit as needed!

 

You expected 800 hp out of a traditionally low-output off road utility vehicle?



who keeps tricking these people into thinking these are performance vehicles? Is there a renegade marketing force somewhere I don’t know about?

sell your truck brah. Please.

 

Low rear view mirror sitting, no power seat heaving, can’t close the tailgate from the inside, non Apple play having, no nipple having...

 

I expected more from brabus. That's kinda lame for 600k

 

No rear disc brakes, only one sway bar having slow as shit...

 

I’m sure the resale value will tank like the rest of Mercedes products...

 

i read the reviews and specs before i bought. so i got what i expected

 

..no power windows, doors, or seats, poor aerodynamics, gas hungry 4cyl. It's Toyota truck tradition and it's sacred.

 

Dying to know at what point in the past 40 years peoples expectations for this truck shifted from “slow and steady”, which it was, and is, to “HP is the only deciding factor in what makes a vehicle awesome”

Was it 05? Had to have been. Because during the 1st gen years I don’t recall seeing this sentiment every day.

 

I’ll pass on anything that has the Mercedes name. Better cars for cheaper prices out there plus in my opinion most Mercedes are just butt ugly.

 

Mall crawler.

But now I want to add a drone landing pad to my 3rd gen. And I don't even have a drone.

 

good question, sometimes i think the hype of how great it was (past generations) can lead people to unrealistic expectations. Also they want horsepower but bitch about 15 mpg, clearly we arent dealing with physics majors

 

No-I knew exactly what I was buying and got almost just that. For the most part I’m not delusional. I just like to poke at those who do expect their Tacoma to be at this level of power and comfort.
If I have the need for power and comfort I drive the wife’s car. Lol

 

Seriously, it's 2020. Why does the Tacoma not come with a drone landing pad?

 

Seriously, its 2020. Why does the Tacoma not come with WiFi?

 

Except, how great was it really? They were cramped as can be, would lock up if you hit the brakes hard and quick enough, I don’t even remember them having any cup holders. but they always started up and if it broke it was super easy to fix.

 

Something something drum brakes and no solid axels

 

my boss described it as that basically. they didnt have the greatest of anything but it was light enough because the creature comforts were minimal and it helped the v6 feel peppy. back then i think the tacoma was on par with the 4 runner development wise.

 

I'm pretty sure I'll see this rolling around in my hood soon. I mean I see crazier cars on a daily basis. Lambo's, ferrari's, Mclaren's, G63's and G wagon 4x4 squared all Brabus'd up. Glendale, CA......
