4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

I liked the look of these 2 door versions but the Gladiator makes me barf.

 

I like the Gladiator, do think it should be called Scrambler since it looks nothing like the J-Series.

J-Series and Wagoneers are one of my all time favorite looking vehicles, we had a Wagoneer growing up, looked cool, but was a massive POS, left us stranded a few times I remember. Only way to fix a Jeep is to remove everything that is Jeep.

2D version would have been cool. Not crazy about 5’ beds, but could make it work.




This would work pretty good exploring the mountains of Idaho and the rest of the West. Too bad they are loaded with Gremlins.

 

What’s the Deal-A-Meal with the G3 Tundy?

 

Simple boxy design, and steel, not plastic. Good ol' times.

 

Blown motors
Broken Seats
Incomplete trim
Crazy wind noises
Random idiot lights shutting everything down

Those are just the ones I've seen a half dozen/dozen times on various sites.

Until they figure out how to actually put that motor together without creating random engine failures at 15-30K I would not trust that engine. They still haven't figured out why its happening...so until they at least figure that out, I'd say pretty much any of them could be a blown motor waiting to happen.

 

That one looks nice with the Cherokee front end.

 

Well, shit. That doesn't exactly give me a warm, fuzzy feeling about the G4 Taco.

 

Last time I was in to get the Taco serviced. Was a guy in there that his informant screen went to totally black.

 

My buddy has a rigged out Comanche and it’s awesome looking. Love those square body styles on old trucks.

 

Did you mean Infotainment? Lol.

I've also heard that Tundra sales numbers are ass. Not sure if that's true.

 

To-May-Toe, Tah-Mah-Toe…


Heard the same, or at least not selling like they want them to. Though Tundra was never a big seller compared to the Big 3. Looks like roughly 60K YTD for ‘23.

https://fordauthority.com/2023/08/f...les - Q1,Lightning sales totaled 4,291 units.

 

I think the Titan is done. Which could help Tundra sales or not. Titan buyers probably want a V8 so they will now probably got to Ford, GM, and Ram.

 

Even with the refresh, probably.

Would like to know the actual sales numbers for the F-150, Ford lumps all F-Series together.

 

Yeah I was wondering that myself. I think Ford builds more 150 than any other specific F-series. I thought ford also included 650 and 750 numbers they are all F-series 150 250 350 450 550 600 650 750.

I can account for one of those sales

 

Pretty sure they include all F-Series like you listed so it looks really impressive, though a lot if of is fleet sales too, would be curious how much different the Tundra vs the F-150 alone.


Wow! Nice truck! Looked at the F-150 hard before buying the Taco. Maybe next go around.

 

Tundra is basically brand new and its sales needle has not budged.

 

Nissan is ending Titan production summer 2024....it is finally getting the bullet to the head. I have owned 2 and both were rock solid. I will be sad to see if go but I just don't know how anyone would not expect it when the Ridgeline sells more than twice the numbers as the Titan.

 

When I worked for a Ford dealer it was definitely an advertising point. Looked it up and in 2022 an F series truck was sold every 49 seconds in the US. I'm sure the Tundra is about every 4.9 days

 

4.9 is close, its just minutes instead of days

 

I was just over on Toyota Nation and there have been a few people not to happy with the driving of their Highlander 2.4t
