4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

So 10-15 under the speed limit? My truck when I drove it off the lot said 600km till empty...now it's 413 average lol . I need lighter tires and maybe loser 30 lbs

 

I get 26mpg in my first gen even with a bed full of a motorcycle and camp gear on big ATs.


If I go 55

 

I'd get this GMC over a Rivian, less money it's a diesel. You can get a gas one for 10k less. Lift it add some GM, AEV, or aftermarket alloys nice tires AT4x grill, color matched over fenders the AEV bumpers front and rear, maybe a cap or a 4WC in the bed. Even a 4dr AT4x 4dr would be less money than some of those Rivians. Diesel RC is like $62k with all the heavy suspension options x39 pkg and spray in bedliner.

 

Are we still doing total cost of ownership?

 

The Rivian doesn’t ever break? How expensive are Rivian parts and repairs compared to Toyota?

 

Diesel is far more expensive then gas, dont get me started on the maintenance

 

Tie rods are cheap...and I guess Maybe shocks or hmmm can't think of anything else that might break on electric which wouldn't be under warranty for 10 years

 

Date a woman with a nice truck if you're that cheap.

 

Sure, things like electronics break just like in ICE cars. But ICE cars have built in maintenance requirements that EVs do not, and many more points of failure.

that said, as mentioned elsewhere, the rivian is struggling through growing pains. Which is why I never advocated for it for someone who wants a tacoma

 

I love the The Rivian and if i had money to burn, I’d get hands down. But the Rivian subreddit is full of reports of insane repair costs, factory issues and months wait for parts.

 

If you’re going to chime in after 5 pages of discussion of total cost of ownership, maybe you shouldnt bring a HD diesel chevy to the convo

 

I don’t think you can get tax credits with a Rivian anymore. Too expensive.

 

What does even mean? I don't need a diesel nor want one due to the increasing costs yearly
New diesels are not even as good as the older diesels of yesteryear before all of the regulations

 

What kind of repair costs? It has a great warranty. What out of pocket repair costs were they incurring. Besides tires.

 

Diesels pollute so much they need another fluid to try to keep the carbon out of the air. Try to.

 

I'm not even a fan of straight electric...I hate the quiet lol. It will either be hybrid or hydrogen for me . Unless carbon capture becomes a thing. Apparently you can fill a regular gas engine.

 

They qualify for $3750 according to their website

 

What about all the crazy motorized parts like the hvac vents, tail gate, charger door, etc. The motorized bed cover worked out well.

 

I don't think anyone knows what the total cost of ownership is for a Rivian.

That means drive someone elses truck at no cost.

Diesels have a lot of emissions equipment on them now. If you need a diesel you still need a diesel.

 

Who in this thread has said they need a diesel?
