4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Yep. See, they are simplifying and complicating things at the same time! Amazing.

Some light reading about a 4th gen competitor.

 

Like both of those, if had to chose, go with the GM, prefer “landscape” view over “portrait”. I am running ads via Meta for my business, drives me nuts that the Ads Manager app is in portrait view for my iPad.

Unfortunate that the GM doesn’t have an extra cab 6’ bed configuration. Deal killer. Would consider stepping up to the Silverado though.

 

He's confused by the fact they gave the tundra a fake v8 sound . Not sure what that has to do with a midsize truck

 

all those trucks you mentioned sound like garbage at high RPM. Say what you want about the V6, it doesn’t sound like a Corolla

 

Turn up your music and stop complaining

 

Stop Complaining? This is TacomaWorld after all.

 

I drove with those on 24/7 in my Tacoma and GTI/R.

Initial driving reviews coming out on the Colorados. Engine seems great in a midsize. Take my money.

 

Yeah, people like to talk about the "Toyota Tax" but Wranglers and Gladiators are also insanely priced, new, and used.

 

Wow, the new Ranger interior looks awesome, but the exterior could have been better. I wish they shouldn't incorporate the Maverick exterior into the new one.

Did Toyota posted an interior pic yet?

 

Just this:


The only Ranger I'm considering is the Raptor

 

Have you driven a Toyota hybrid? They accelerate MUCH faster, very smooth, and quiet. It's a better driving experience in my opinion. (Toyota hybrid not Ford)

 

Have you driven both? Which one do you like better?

 

Ok. That’s annoying but not a dealbreaker. I thought you guys meant it was fully automated.

 

I drove the new Lexus hybrid 4cyl and it was pretty sweet. Also own a RAV4 Hyrbid and it's more pleasant to drive than the Tacoma to be honest.

 

Yep my wife’s rav4 hybrid and her new rx350h so much nicer

 

I have not. To be honest I don’t really care if the acceleration is better. It’s a truck. I’m not racing people. As long as I can get up to speed decently on an on ramp and cruise at 80-85 I’m happy.

 

Three years ago we went to Toyota dealer with idea of buying a RAV 4. Test drove one and liked it but they had a hybrid model there and we test drove it to compare. Hybrid was smoother, quieter, better power delivery and better fuel economy. Just seemed more refined! Was well worth the extra $1500. Toyota's 2.5 L Hybrid package is used in a variety of vehicles and would be a good fit for the Tacoma. While it has a reduced towing capacity and probably not suited for heavy off road use it will meet the needs of a large percentage of Tacoma fans.

 

Yeah the raptor is super sweet

 

As long as it proves to be reliable and has good torque curve/smooth transmission I could care less how it sounds.
