4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Wise man.

 

Are they? Dunno, 4Runners don’t really do it for me anymore. Rather have a Bronco.

GX550 is full-time 4WD, so that already zaps some MPG in your comparison to the Tundra which is a part time system.
It is also a blocker design and the windshield is a lot more vertical than the Tundra/Sequoia. My guess is that it also has a worse coefficient of drag.

These two things are going to have a big impact on MPG, and that is probably the whole story of the MPG difference. (Also the MAX powertrain of that Sequoia and the Tundra TRD Pro are boosting their MPG numbers a little)

 

All of the Pros and Off-road Premiums I checked in the 700 mile radius around me.

I did not check Idaho.

Pay Toyota 55-60k+ (65k?) in April, store a large package of NiMH under the rear bench to operate the additional electric motor, and you get 465lbft. Or apparently pay just 40k for a Trail Boss and get 430lbft plus useable under-seat storage. Or, 49k for the full tilt ZR2. Toyota’s the better truck (because I guess it is) but that’s an embarrassing gap.

 

Under seat storage is so-so in the Collie, get tailgate storage though. Trail Boss still is the better buy.

 

You’re welcome

 

Some good prices on Tundra there too. Thanks.

 

Just enough space to store the extra cash.

 

Much better deals than here. I’m going to need to wait until summer to buy there. There is 1500 miles of snow to drive though now. Summer I can take my time and enjoy the sights.

 

Fly and drive, or have it delivered.

You’re welcome. Thinking by the end of the year should have even better deals.

lol! True that!

 

Full-Time 4WD in the Tacoma doesn't appear to hurt mpg too much, 20/23/21 vs 19/24/21 for a 4x4 SR5. It will be interesting to see the mpg difference between the 550 and the new LC.

 

Seems like a hell of a lot better deal than a $54K Tacoma TRD off road.

 

It does!

Broncos haven’t budged much though. Like them, but not that much.

The LC will get better because it it only comes with the iForce Max 2.4T.

That is a good point though about the Full Time 4WD not seeming to hurt the Tacoma MPG numbers.

 

Are you sure that’s not the external tranny cooler?

 

Did they release a MPG chart that has the full time 4wd MPG for the Tacoma. As far as I know it is only one trim..I must have missed that one as well.

 

Just going off of this:

 

Same from Toyota...
