4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

My dad just recently got the lx600. That ride is BAD ASS

 

Yep. Kind of pointless to debate a motor that Toyota will never sell again after this year.

Probably more relevant for today, I’d be curious to know if Toyota is already planning on replacing that basic 2.4T with another hybrid. Maybe another reason to hang on a year or two and let things unfold.

 

I'm just telling you they announced it months ago and ppl have been pissy about it ever since. Really surprised you're just hearing it now .

 

Replacement for the 2.4T:

 

For many including myself the manual transmission option trumps any power numbers. Also, Toyota’s 2.4 is very similar to Ford’s 2.3… I went from a 3rd gen v6 manual to a 2.3 Bronco manual - It’s not even comparable how much better the turbo 4 is. The turbo 4 also gets about 5mpg better in a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick. You are getting considerably more torque vs. the outgoing v6. I get reliability might be a concern if u are somebody that’s gonna try to drive your truck 200k+ miles but the reality is that’s not 95% us.

 

Same…just hearing it today. Don’t pay too much attention to Dodge, errr Ram, whatever they are called these days.

 

And here I thought LX owners like wearing pink panties, soft against the skin…

 

Booo

 

Toyota has not announced plans to go all-electric, but Lexus claims they will be all electric by 2030 (North America) and 2035 globally.

My guess is a couple more years of ICE only, followed by a few years of Hybrids/PHEVs to get everyone used to plugging in, and then ICE is dead by early 2030s.

Let me know when you can recharge in 10 minutes and go 500 miles. Oh, and find a charging station easily.

 

Why limit yourself to 500 miles?

 

I have a feeling some of those targets are subject to change

 

I had a friend with a 96 4Runner and another with a newer Tacoma and they said my 96 LC rode better than their trucks. I suspect the new LC will ride just as well and be just as capable.

 

I watch alot of tfl ect and they have been talking about it

 

That's not correct. I believe it's 932 Km or 580 miles. Toyota put out a chart, I"lol have to look for it to double check.

 

I kind of like the new LC. Just hate the Toyota dealers. Reason we have Lexus and Chevy

 

I’m bummed that you can only get the new Prado in the US without the hybrid if you buy the GX.

 

Toyota's EV battery deployment roadmap.

 

Nice but at what price?

 

I'm okay with the MAX engine in the LC250. Lots of power and lighter weight it looks like that of the 200 series and starts at $55k. Hell of a deal.
