Tacoma Stalking, er...uh, Spotting, with Charlie™ (4th Gen Edition)!

Well, after months of waiting, I was finally able to get this thread started! The very first two 4th Gens that I photographed were at the 2024 Philadelphia Auto Show, and I hoping to see many more in the wild in the coming months!

 

Unfortunately, both of them were locked, but I still got some excellent pics!

I got some excellent pics today. Seriously though, the '24 Taco was the only vehicle I really wanted to sit in!

 

I've been a Toyota fan since the mid 80's....that thing is just ugly.

 

Everybody is entitled to their opinion; I'm more worried about what's under the hood...

I don't trust smaller turbocharged engines in a truck. Large-displacement V6s and V8s are the best fit for trucks in my opinion, and while the 4-bangers are more efficient, the turbocharged ones are just plain overworked in a truck!

 

This is an interesting picture. The designers clearly wanted a sweeping look to the Tacoma. It’s going to take getting used to.



I guess I won’t bother going to a car show in my area. Locking the truck is lame at this point.

 

There must be something going on with the 24 tacoma. They don't want people see something inside that they are not ready for production.

 

Maybe they don’t want people stealing the stupid portable speaker.
It’s really lame that they aren’t letting people inside the trucks. What’s the problem? These trucks were already supposed to be delivered to buyers weeks ago?

 

On a Facebook group I'm in, somebody spotted one in the wild in Michigan...

 

Probably a loaner truck for journalists.

 

Might have been one of these auto show or press trucks.

 

Totally agree, why are they so afraid to show the interior of these trucks? I don't get it. It's not like they aren't in production already. Its not some kind of supersecret prototype either. Maybe they think people will get turned off by those tiny cramped back seats and go buy an F150

 

Not sure why the latest wheel designs have no dish, the metal is flush nearly with the rubber. Anyone who goes off-road knows those things are going to scratched and gouged to hell in the ruts and rocks.

 

I especially like the snap on fenders.


A little shocked the 2024’s are not out in the wild…

 

The rear quarter sticker on the TRD off road begs to get removed.

 

Here is a picture of TFL’s 4th gen. I think they don’t look terrible

 

Definitely looks much better without that ridiculous spoiler hanging down.

 

Yeah, 100%. The chin strap makes the front look disproportionate

 

I’ve seen the YouTube video of the YouTubers picking this truck up.
