4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Well I already knew what today was, but before that I already knew a V6T Taco is never going to happen. Toyota would want $70k for it.

 

GX-550

 

That's going to be a hot seller.

What really boggles my mind is that an SR5 (base model) 4x4 Sequoia has a higher starting MSRP than a base GX550. No way on earth I'd get the Sequoia over the GX.

 

It's going to be so hot that I question how long the price point will stay where it is. I could see each model spiking by $10k in 2025.

 

GX in Canada are over 100k lol , you guys are lucky

 

That Sequoia is a hot mess...whoever designed that thing has some serious ADD

 

LC w/Premium package is 68K vs GX550 at 64K. LC has the HUD ($900 option on GX) and a console cool box, otherwise about the same. Except for hybrid vs V6 - so $2,500-3,000 to get hybrid? 22/25 mpg vs 15/21

 

Isn’t that just normal Canadian funny money pricing?

 

@Snakepilot

How is the incumbent Land Cruiser fanbase handling the "new" Land Cruiser?

I mean, at *some* point, the fact that it's now affordable (as opposed to 110 f__king thousand dollars US) has to count for something, right?

 

Same basic approach as electric-diesel locomotive engines. Pretty bold; hope it catches on, but not sure they had to go full monty with a V6. Seems like a smaller powerplant could do the job.

 

Not sure what the LC fanbase thinks. I think the LC300 - the full size LC everyone outside of the US got - should have replaced the Sequoia and sold at the Sequoia price point.

 

Didn't the Chevrolet Volt have the same technology? Asking because I'm not 100% sure.

 

If it’s anything like the Chevy volt (series hybrid) it’ll be uncharacteristically good and killed off way too soon.

 

Yes.

 

Probably. Would be a great towing rig. OTOH, the new Tacoma, with its ~15% smaller fuel tank and reduced range just wont cut it for my needs. Cant believe people are overlooking this.

 

Sure, its fuel tank might be 15% smaller, but its efficiency is rated at 10% better, so if you do the math it’s……worse for everyday usage.

 

It’s rated at that but real world mpg numbers are coming in around the same as the previous gen.

 

They designed and sized the tank before confirming the efficiency.

 

Looks like someone in my hood just got a new Ranger....I should go ask if I can inspect for rust!
