Just Think, 2024 Tacoma Sales Haven’t Started Yet

Toyota reported yearend numbers, and they are kicking butt. Imagine what 2024 will be like when the new Tacoma revenue starts rolling in. I’m sure they are just a tiny bit pissed at the EPA right now.

Any TM stockholders here?

 

I am predicting a dip in Tacoma sales.

 

Try to avoid automakers but tend to be cautious and go with a nice diverse mix: Microsoft, Alphabet, Broadcom, Amazon, UnitedHealth Group, TransDigm Group. Up 13%! Now if it can grow more I can afford a base model 4G! Kidding, I'm happy with my LR.

 

Toyota might be using the EPA as a scapegoat.

I hear that after final assembly, the entire first production run of ‘24’s were sent back after inspectors discovered they were all missing two cylinders. Rough idle & loud noises gave it away, hopefully they can sort it out soon.

 

It should be interesting but I don’t think we’ll really know anything until about July.

 

Yeah we will see if the price hike and slowing economy affects sales.

Mining and AG…

 

I don't think 4G sales will see upper end 3G sales anytime soon. Will fleet buyers go to Frontier, or will they go with 1/2 tons? Pricing should be less if not much different. I saw someone test driving a new Honda Pilot today, I guess they don't want to wait for the Taco Limited with fulltime 4wd.

 

I guess we will have to keep an eye on this site and see how the 4th Gen does over time.

2023 Tacoma sales are down just a touch from 2022 by 2555 units. Not much, midsize truck sales overall are down too. With ‘24 Tacoma prices higher, and full-size coming down, wonder if that will hurt 4G sales?

 

I hope the number one car maker knows what they are doing. The new Tacoma looks good in my opinion. Seems like they have trim levels for everyone.

I want a black 2024 Tacoma Pro without the goofy seats. But I am not paying $65,000+

 

Biggest driver of 4q numbers was Corolla hybrid (sales doubled) and RAV4 (+37%). Tacoma sales prob are headed for a decline at these prices, but even if its a modest decline it will still likely be positive for topline revenue growth.

 

That’s what I am counting on.

 

Believe sales will dip a touch, but will stay strong.

While I like the 4G, a few steps backwards has made me look elsewhere for the next truck. And really…perfectly content with my 3rd Gen.

 

Also very agree.

 

If I had a 3rd gen, I would definitely keep it too, looks way better! 4th gen seems to be the same, still don't get much for the price you'd pay. Engine is only a good upgrade if you get the much higher trims.

 

Is that missing two cylinders a real story?

 

That was a joke.

 

Since they killed the Access Cab, have to bump up to the SR5 DCLB. That would be about $50K OTD, my 3rd Gen has around $32K trade-in value currently. Not seeing coughing up another $18K for not much improvement other than a little extra power. Not to mention loosing the $8000 from what I paid for my 3rd Gen ($40K OTD) So really loosing $26,000…just for something a little newer that really won’t do anything all that much different than what I already have.

 

Did you click the article? Both the December + Full year is down. 7 and 1% respectively on a truck that is on average 20% cheaper AND DISCOUNTED
