Is tacoma moving in a favorable direction (1st gen to 4th gen)?? Let me know down below

what about the TRD pop heard around the world?

you really think they fixed that with computer code?

 

A year later and literally nobody else has had such an issue. I wonder if a third gen has ever broken a CV axle?

 

TFL is a joke.
And the OP is a Temu-grade troll.

 

I don't know bud I kind of like some of their shows

 

I imagine it has. It has a ton of small thin parts up there in the front end

 

Cool man thanks for the input on a truck you don’t know anything about. you didn’t even know what the differences between an SR and SR5 are, but you’ve reverse engineered nameless “thin pieces” in the front end? You using SolidWorks for that?

 

I was talking about my 2023. I haven't looked front end pieces and parts of the 24 yet

 

And yet, you’re impugning the 4g for breaking, huh?

Maybe it is being "mOAr TouGHeR" when a noticeable amount of 3rd gen drivers seem obsessed to pass, tailgate, race to and from stoplights and do other silly or poor choice behavior in the presence of my 4th gen???? That looks really silly when the routes have climbing and a lot of carry or towing because the 4th gen will leave them screaming in pain when the torque or at altitude advantages shine.

The "mOAr TouGHeR" behavior is so goofy because the only thing driving our 2015 before the 4th gen Tacoma purchase did to me was spark or regenerate the thoughts on a new vehicle purchase. In post purchase mode I choose the ignore button (2nd pic).

I made a big mistake with the eject seats and no sunroof so maybe should move the ignore button to center console.

 

3rd Gen Tacoma (gritty, scarred, and unbothered):
“Nice LED strip. You here to hit the trail or film a TikTok?”

4th Gen Tacoma (fresh off the lot, full of attitude):
“I’m the future, old man. Turbocharged, hybrid, digital dash—get with the program.”

3rd Gen:
“You’ve got more tech than traction. Let me guess, you cried the first time someone scratched your paint?”

4th Gen:
“You’re just jealous. I’ve got more torque, better MPG, and a smoother ride.”

3rd Gen:
“You’ve got feelings. I’ve got scars. I’ve been up cliffs with no cell service and came back with branches in my grill and dignity intact. You wouldn’t survive a dirt road without a firmware update.”

4th Gen:
“Yeah? Well I’ve got coil rear suspension and a 10-speed—what do you have?”

3rd Gen:
“Respect.”

(pause)

3rd Gen:
“People mod me because they need me. You get modded so influencers can take pics in front of REI.”

4th Gen:
“I’m built for the modern driver.”

3rd Gen:
“Exactly. Soft hands, big screen, zero grit. You were born in a dealership. I was forged in backcountry.”

4th Gen:
“…you’re obsolete.”

3rd Gen:
“And you’re untested.”

 

1st and 2nd Gs

19-7, 3rd gen. Wish I knew if it was just 3rd gen owners voting for 3rd gen and 4th gen owners voting for 4th gen??

 

Title adjusted. Where is Toyota getting the info they use to make decisions on what to do with the next gen Tacoma? Who is the worl are they surveying? Sales say yes they are moving in a favorable direction but survey says not really...

 

I'm guessing two groups;
1.) Retired guys who miss the old adventure, but will never go off-road, but need smooth ride and a ball cooler with all the bells & whistles
2.) Lifestyle insta boys & girls

This is no longer a everyman / women's truck for the daily or pool boys

 

so what in the worl are folks buying for a new midsize truck that wants low price, low tech, and high off road capability, and high towing?

 

Do you remember the Tacoma towing the people on the couch in the desert and the furries riding first bikes commercial? That.

Like most things now, image over substance.

Look at how many people lease vehicles short term and change them like dresses with the seasons? The value of durability and reliability in any market seems to have vaporized.

Who here can tie a bowline knot?

 

Also, should I go with OEM ball cooler or aftermarket?
