4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

This was discussed earlier in the thread I think. It certainly is interesting, but also has some packaging handicaps for a Tacoma. It does provide some interesting insight into where Toyota is looking to go. 340 hp in a Taco would be something though lol. Won't ever happen, but would be interesting.

 

I think it's going to be tough for Toyota to compete as well. Toyota usually does their own thing for reasons, but if the gulf between Toyota and what Ford and GM do is too wide, it might cost them. I'm not exactly eager to buy a GM truck, but if Toyota is so far down on power, I might have to bite the bullet.

Or just go full-size. Which still wouldn't be a Toyota lol.

 

It was, I'm sure the tacoma will have a hybrid max with electric motors in higher trim levels, similar to what they did with the new tundra.

 

I don't care what anyone says, the current Ranger is a decent little truck. And if you read the reviews overseas for the next gen Ranger, Toyota had better up their game. If I had to bet on it today, my money is on replacing my '23 Tacoma with the next gen Ranger.

 

I don't like the current Ranger, but am looking forward to the next one. Ranger Raptor is beyond where I want to go pricewise, but it should be awesome nonetheless.

 

If its anything like the changes from previous Taco generations. It will have 8 more horsepower, get 1 mile to the gallon better mpg, but cost 25% more....

Just being realistic. I've owned every generation of taco. Early G2 was the best so far.

 

Just like the 2 gen to 3rg gen Tundra?

 

What makes earlier gen 2 models better than later gen 2 models?

 

What octane did u settle on? My 2007 FJ Cruiser said premium fuel only inside the gas door.

 

07-09 Engines were tuned for premium, 10+ were for regular.

 

Simplicity and less emissions control.
But to be honest, the 2012’ model is the “problem child”. 2009-2015 are just as reliable. Just not the 2012.

 

If that’s the case, I haven’t been running the right gas in mine. E/10 87 always.

Humm, wonder what it would do with 93?

 

You can also do 85 at the end of the day the engine will compensate and pull timing.

 

Never seen 85 here in Tennessee.

 

Utah has plenty... Just location dependent

 

Altitude dependent as well; while an AKI rating of 85 may well work in Utah, I seriously doubt it'll work out well down near sea level.

 

Yup simplicity.

 

Nice truck. Have you joined our little EML thread yet?

 

Sure did

 

What happened at the factory to cause the 2012 to be a lemon, I wonder?
