4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

^Why is her left eye lower than her right eye? Is that the Taco Lean everyone talks about?

 

Dunno, but she was born the same year I was.

 

There is hardly anything there for a modern engine, and everything looks extremely easy to move out of the way. I'd much prefer everything routed in a way where when you unhook it you can get more slack, as opposed to being tight to the engine.

I'd do a valve cover gasket job on this engine in an instant over doing one on my 3.4 V6 that "looks cleaner" in the engine bay.

 

I may or may not redact this statement after seeing the other side of the engine lol:



But still, easy spark plug changes at least!

 

What the hell is even that! It looks like an AutoZone puked under the hood.

 

That's a lot of sh*t going on in there. Like 10lbs of sh*t stuffed in a 5lb bag.

 

Looks like an engine to me

 

I bought rock sliders for a 3rd Gen and the sliders were the same for the 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen. A little frustrating of an install because the fabricator never took the time to look at the rock slider fitment on the 3rd Gen and there was fuel pump controller sitting where one of the slider bolts were supposed to go.
Agree with a different roof rail design...the current ones remind me of an outback.

 

Blivet.

 

Those fender flares look way better than the white trash factory 8” bushwhacker flares that come standard on any of the trds

 

Nah I disagree, I like the look of the wider flares. Good thing they have several model for different likes hey

 

What you’re looking at is, “The Future”.

And, just like we all imagined it would be back when we were kids, “The Future” has a whole lot of random looking plastic tubes & wires that appear to go nowhere and serve no particular purpose. As long as it all works, I’m good.

 

Better than the past when we had 6 liter v8s that stank up your house with fuel fumes making 240hp at 12mpg and it would be a miracle if they lasted 80k miles.

The future is fucking rad

 

Nah. The future would be no engine up there at all and a nice big frunk to store things in. That looks like a cube of crushed car stuck in the engine bay.

 

I’ll take your word on past stank & fumes, and yep, the future is definitely rad. But as pictured, December 2023 looks suspiciously like radio shack overstock covering up what is just an old-school, albeit competent 4cyl turbo.

i-Force Max is the real news here. 465 very big steps forward.

 

They really need to cover that rats nest under the hood

 

Nice breakdown of the A24a-fts. It will be interesting to see what changes they make in the truck application. Pros include no egr, no thermostat and potentially harder to steal cats.

This is the first Pro I've seen without the obnoxious red seats.
