Will you miss the leafs?

I thought 40k was too much for a fully loaded midsize in this case a Tacoma 10 years ago 4x4 TRD DCLB, or a Baja or Pro. 10 years ago there was no powerseat, moon roof, infotainment screen LED head lights, I think the only vehicles back then with LED were German cars or Italian exotics and that was in the DRL. Not that I need any of that, I do like LED headlights and can live with out them.

4th gen is most likely going to have a rear locker on all 4x4s like Tundra, not a bad thing but it drives up the price. I can't imagine what a Capstone or Pro 4G is going to go for? 70k? 80k? That's before the mark up, and I think people will pay it.

 

I'm sure the new coil setup will provide a somewhat more comfortable and planted ride. However, its certainly not a reason for me to move into a 4th gen prematurely. Now, if there is a 5 MPG gain, better power curve, better shifting, AND better handling, I might reconsider.

 

Yeah, that's not 24 years.

 

Fucking feels like forever ago.

 

Trailhunter Taco might be the first 100k Tacoma lol.

 

And the only way to get vinyl flooring lol. I'd take a TH with no options and no accessories.

 

my leaf springs aren't going anywhere. Except around town and up on the mountain.

 

news flash:
3rd gen just went old low tech.
I am building a paddle now to berate 4th genners with all their fancy tech.

 

The 4Runner rear axle has way more articulation than a leaf-sprung Tacoma. 4Runners have a tendency to do a front flop when descending trails. They basically articulate right over themselves. In a Tacoma the rear travel is limited so you reach a point where the truck stops leaning, then other factors take over to keep you from flopping.
