4th gen not selling?

You're in a place where Toyotas don't head to crusher after 10 years for rust, so expect slower turnover.

The Tundra just had its best sales year since 2009, and 2024 isn't over yet.

 

I think you meant to type "Toyota".

 

Everyone is entitled to their own set of observations and opinions. Here is one rando's observation. Couple of weeks ago in Moab area I lost count of the number of broke gens I saw. When I could get my eyeballs on, there were quite a few with California plates. Just my observation.

 

^Which gen is supposed to be broke gen?

 

You mean Toyota Tacoma exclusively built in Mexico?

I expect the Tacoma to follow Toyota's global trend sales are up while production is down. The Tacomas sales and production numbers back that up.

Does Toyota account for the Tacoma under US production? I don't know, that wouldn't make sense but maybe the do under NA production. Either way that wouldn't change the numbers.

 

Just pointing out that the article didn't break out Tacomas. If it did, would you point it out?

 

That is my sarcastic euphemism for this gen when there was a callout to nickname the 4G. Lots of posts about stuff breaking and the price increase.

 

That's what I said no mention of Tacoma but 2024 Tacoma production numbers and monthly sales reflect the same trend. The article didn't really provide any insight to Tacomas at all.

 

Cool. Just curious if I missed something.

 

There’s more at work in Hawaii. EVERYTHING is expensive so the new prices get a lot of scrutiny there.

 

In Northern Colorado, I am definitely seeing an uptick in 4th gen Tacos. In my 5 hour drive today, from Gunnison to Fort Collins, I also saw a decent amount of new Land Cruisers.

 

It's my understanding there is no such thing as "US production" Tacomas with the 4th gen. They are all Mexican built.

 

My 24 says Ca and Mexico.

 

Baja California is a Mexican state.

 

THIS! I’m in Santa Barbara, our local dealer is over flowing with Tacomas. I went down there just to check the TRD OR out and when I was wrapping up the sales manager offered me an SR5 4x4 for $42000 OTD, he also got a glimpse of my 9 year old civic and said he could make me a crazy offer to sweeten the deal. If I was ready to buy right then and there I would’ve left with a truck.

 

Car and Driver reported 126K Tacomas sold, which is down 30% year-over-year. Tundra sales are actually up by 27%, year-over-year.

Those numbers are based on end of September.

 

My dealer (WC Toyota) is now discounting Tacos and LCs.

Apparently demand is low for different reasons.

 

Early 24, Toyota wasn't making enough. In my area, i didn't see one at my dealer until June.

You can see the trend. Don't care how much Toyota sells since I already have mine. Don't give a hoot if no one buys a single one from here on out. Just care about bullshit or not bullshit.

I am still getting feed on Youtube with goobertubers proclaiming that Tacomas aren't selling. This is simply a lie.

 

Yes, but is there any reason to believe Tacoma sales have increased enough to make up for the 30% decrease?
