4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

I like the looks and interior of the z71 and AT4 better than the taco..but I just can't get past the problems they are having and the resale.

 

Oh me me! Drove a AT4 with premium package. Great power, way more leg room than Tacoma surprisingly. Want to drive a ZR2. I’m seeing more and more discounts on ZR2’s, local dealer has $1,500 off MSRP on a 23.
Want to drive a Tacoma though before any decisions. Although V6 Ranger could be fun.

 

I waited over 6 months for the 2 2023 Colorado's I ordered and didn't buy .

 

Roll outs were slow early on. Like this 24 Tacoma. Better now I heard. They are pretty good with the fullsizes. Think I would at least a year for the dust to settle on the Taco.

 

Ha!

Only seen them on the road, very good looking truck. Haven’t swung by a dealer yet to check them out in person. No 6’ bed is a deal killer. Would consider a Silverado though.

 

Well, that makes your decision much easier.

 

Or does it....?

 

Thanks, I think I'll hang on to my '20manual sport AC a while longer, maybe I'll get to the point I won't need to be able to mount a plow, and I know that caps will not be interchangable.

 

You’re welcome.

 

Nope. It's all about the V8 for us.

However, I must confess I am looking at an older GX I can put a lift and aggressive tires on. Then I can park it with one tire on the curb at the mall to show off my articulation. I have a project Camaro I would sell to fund the GX.

 

hmmm…

Were you allowed to keep the mullet and jorts when you bought the Lexus?
Took the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more juice. But it's not exactly street legal, so keep it on the down low.

 

Lol. I actually did buy a mullet wig and a Freebird CD when I first bought the Camaro. Turns out the wig was very uncomfortable, but the Freebird CD rocked.

The Camaro is a 2001 SS with leather seats, T-tops, 330 hp LS1 V8, that my SIL bought new. It has 82k original miles on it and is completely stock. I bought it from her for $3500 and put about another $1200 in parts in it. I still enjoyed tinkering on cars so I did all the labor. It runs great and is fun to drive, but with my health issues it's hard for me to get in and out of.

The main reason I bought it was because I figured it would be the last V8 I would ever own. Enter the GX x 2 and I have the V8 thing covered now.

 

It’s crazy how back in 2001 330 HP was considered a lot. Now it’s only a little bit more than a Chevy Colorado.

 

Yeah, 330 hp in 2001 was a lot. The SS got the same LS1 that came in the Corvette. Now a V6 Camry would smoke it.

 

A Camaro of that era probably does 0-60 in the low 5 second range and a V6 Camry was probably around 6 seconds, but good point anyway.

 

Looked it up:
0-60 : 5.6 sec
1/4 mile: 13.8 sec

 

My X5 will beat that.

But it cost 10x more.

 

Already mid January and still haven’t seen one on the road yet. What’s the ETA at this point?

 

I wonder how well that thing is made? I have only seen a few videos and photos, something about makes it look rather flimsy.
