4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Curious what lift, westcott not available on site, I saw RC spacer is available and 88 rotors showed kings fronts in stock.

 

About going rate most dealers charge for a spacer lift, wheel/tire combo for years now ($6-10k). But ya its wayyyy overpriced, salesman usually will say "but its covered under warranty" bs.

 

For sure but like I mentioned that was with sales tax which should be about 7.5 percent I think. That and if he payed a markup over the sticker of 56000 plus the level , method wheel and 33’s sounds about on par to me . Still more than I would spend for sure on a 24.

 

The $90k+ SDs were doing similar, ford had dealer polish one guys then said customer was on his own when it started again a month later.

 

Is it me, or do the back seats (back rest part) of the Ranger seem thinner than the Taco? Is that how they get more leg room? Also, definitely more space behind the back seats of the Taco.

 

TFL said the Ranger back seat was more vertical and less comfortable than the Tacoma. To be fair, they said the Nissan, Chevy, Ford, and Toyota rear seats were uncomfortable. Only the Honda was "okay".

 

Can be an advantage depending on motivation. Less likely for in-laws to tag along.

 

The taco is good for kids , I don't need adults in my back seat lol

 

Take the seats out and put a dog platform in.
That’s what I did with my first gen.

 

Just had an ad pop up on FaceBook: 2024 RAM 1500s for 10% under MSRP.

The times, they are a changing.

 

I would never consider buying a RAM, but a V6 Rebel with a Level 1 upgrade (Level 2 is more), Leather, 12" screen, and Tow Pkg is 69K. V8 is an extra 3K and the 36gal tank (26 std) is $450. Probably comparable to a Tundra Limited which are also being discounted.

 

No discount in Canada where I live....hard to do when there are none on the lot

 

I think I have seen the 24s a little more on some of the emails I have gotten but 0% for 72 months.....They be hurting!

 

Is the RAM *that* bad of a truck that they have to, dare I say, sell them for what they're actually worth?

 

I had never considered a RAM either but am on the "list" for a 2025 RAM Charger (who knows when it will actually be available). The Tacoma hybrid wont get nearly the MPG I want in my next vehicle and I live three blocks from my small-town RAM/Jeep dealership, so why not take a look?

 

I would say ~40% of all vehicles on my local Toyota dealer's lot are Tundras. Rows of them. Don't know if its cost; looks; performance reviews, or all three, but they simply do not sell around here, even discounted.

 

I never thought they were that bad, I have owned two, put about 100K on each with a mix of heavy city and suburban highway miles, zero issues with either one.

One had the Pentastar 6 the other had the 6.4 Hemi. Pentastar had 8 speed, 2500 had 6 speed. They were both as easy to own as my Toyotas up to 100k.

 

I wonder why they are so overstocked. I mean there are a LOT of unsold RAMS all over the place.

 

2025 RAM 1500 Limited is 82K (but easy to get to 85K+) and has 540hp/521tq. How much extra for the "RAM Charger" with 663hp/615tq?

 

From what I can tell it is the same issue that Jeep has, their sales dropped once inventory climbed across the board and they looked like they were building faster than their competitors. I don't think it has anything to do with the truck specifically, until the current one they didn't change much and they rate about the same as Ford and Chevy in rankings.

Maybe the model change has sales stalled a little but I think its just a matter of having the production turned on 100 and not dialing it back soon enough. Same reason that Gladiators are all over the place. They just didn't do as good a job measuring demand with production.

They have Lonestars/Bighorn 4x4's for 46K, If I were shopping that would definitely get my attention.
