4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Hopefully all the 23s will be gone by the time the 24s arrive.

 

UAW strike hurt them and Ford this year. Next year should be better for both of them.

 

I think it looks dumb. Specifically the rear wheel well to bumper is all wrong IMO. Also, I don't need a SFA daily driver.

 

Got back home from the great car buying road trip adventure. Got it done but too late for pics except for this shitty one of it in the garage next the T4R. I'll post a few tomorrow when I can take something better.

That dealership is top notch. I have a really bad car buying problem, almost half as bad as TacoBuffet. So, I've dealt with the gamut from slimy to decent. This place was straight forward, honest, and truly a pleasure to deal with.

Oh yeah, one of the FOBS is lost in the car somewhere. At the dealer they tossed one in so I could play with it. When I was leaving I asked her where the keys were. She said one is in the car and your wife has the other. Tired, and hungry we left for the 2.5 hour drive home. When we stopped to eat we realize we didn't know where exactly it is in the car lol.

 

Most Lexus dealers are top notch. Mine offers free milkshakes when you’re in for service.

 

Nice looking ride!

Check the black hole that is between the seat and center console, it might have slipped down there and is laying near a seat rail.

 

Fee milkshakes? WTF? I didn't get a free milkshake. I take it all back. That dealer sucked.

 

Ya but it brought all the boys to the yard when you get that milkshake.

 

Yea when I was filling out my paperwork my salesman asked if I wanted water, coffee, or a milkshake and I was really confused

 

Was your salesman female?

 

They had a sort of a bar thing in there with coffee, water, pop, etc. I was tired and didn't explore the options. Saw a Diet Mt. Dew and got one of those.

I might have a chance to be there again. It looks like the wife has already claimed "my" GX. So now she has a GX and I essentially traded my 3G for a for her T4R. It is an upgrade in comfort, which is the excuse I used to justify this in the first place. But even the T4R limited pales into comparison to that GX.

The finance guy said this last allocation coming is it for the old design, and I have no desire to get the new GX550. I want the tried and true legendary V8 model. So, I'm trying to decide if it's absolutely insane to consider trading the T4R in on another GX460. It sounds absurd in a way, but the advantage of having a car buying problem is that you can justify such decisions. Besides, I wanted the red interior and compromised on the black because she liked it the best.

I'm far from rich, but the cars I'm trading are paid off. So, the difference is not that much money. I sold some toys a while back and never spent the proceeds. Already had everything I wanted. The money used for these cars is that toy money and doesn't affect the financial situation.

 

Like one of those $5.00 shakes? For free!? when buying a $70K+ SUV, no way!?

Yes. And she was the best I've ever dealt with.

 

I wonder if she knows the song…

Well it’s awesome we have a lot of choices these days. The Truck/SUV market just keeps growing. So, obviously there is a real demand and a lot of manufacturers are zeroing in on this. It will be interesting to see if and when trucks start to fall out of favour with the general buying public. So far the prices and the variety keeps growing.

Vendors are already falling over themselves to get aftermarket mods out to the masses for the G4.

With current high interest rates and MSRP’s it will be interesting to how all this eventually plays out.

No wonder small trucks keep growing in size when service is offering free milkshakes.

 

Does your 4Runner have KDSS?

 

Also another canadian update. No choices in add ons or packages. Just the predetermined trim levels

 

What does that even mean? We were never able to choose add ons. Also when is the damn configuration tool going live
