4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Yep the hitch was a definite drawback in a otherwise solid offering.

 

THANK YOU! I keep looking at those rear windows on the new Tacoma and thinking they look tiny...thought I was going crazy! Glad to read you see that too.

 

the land cruiser has an estimated 27mpg combined with the 2.4l I force max hybrid. That's encouraging for the Tacoma.

 

I watched the intro and haven’t caught anything else yet. Base model looks > higher trim tho.

 

The new Land cruiser is pretty nice looking

 

Starting price in the mid 50's and 27 combined MPG....Not bad

 

Says who?

 

I think I actually like the looks of the base model better than the other 2 trims.

This was in the other thread.

Price is confirmed, didnt hear mpgs though
Watch a video on you tube. The guys at the event said the price

 

Where was the 3rd trim shown...I only saw the 2

 

Yea, I see it at the bottom of https://www.toyota.com/upcoming-vehicles/landcruiser/

 

The top trim has the rectangle lights, the other 2 trims have the round ones. They are only making 5,000 of the top trim model.

 

Seems like the Land Cruiser encroaches on the 4Runner space to me. They will likely have the exact same powertrain. I Toyota/Lexuus is making a lot of poorly differentiated SUVs IMO.

 

Still waiting on the Tacoma price and MPG. Maybe one day....

 

The Land Cruiser is still bigger, one of the articles said Toyota was asked about the 4 runner but is tight lipped about it, they did however say it is not going anywhere. I actually think this LC will allow them to make the 4 runner more off road focused, and maybe not as expensive, with the LC starting mid 50's there isn't a lot of room to push the 4 runners starting price up too high which is a good thing.

 

Well if they are projecting 27 mpg combined with the hybrid, that should be an idea where the Tacoma hybrid could be at least.

 

4 runner is 2 inches smaller

 

Tacoma would be heavier though would it not

 

That would be nice, I'd probably opt for the non-hybrid to save some change and get underseat storage. Perhaps we could see 25 highway in those??

 

They may be similar in weight. Extra weight on the LC for the additional glass, body panels, and interior materials VS extra weight on the Tacoma for being longer.

The 4Runner is a little beefier than the 3rd gen Tacoma
