2024 Driveshafts - Did they finally fix them!

Anyone got any pics of what driveshaft option is under the 2024 Gen4 Tacomas both gas and hybrids? Post them up please and don't guess/voice what you want. Post what was used.

I guess some clarification is required now after a few days online. Prior gens sometimes developed vibrations on their 2 piece shaft so we installed a single 1 piece shaft and most also installed aftermarket heavier rear springs to prevent wrapping and sagging. Now that the gen4 will have coil springs I was inquiring if anyone has seen a pic of the new driveshaft and is it 1 or 2 piece. Realize that 1 piece shafts have a max useful length before they cause their own issues (DCLB) so this was a simple query. Many owners of purely stock Tacoma lightly street driven never have/had an issue but many others did and if you did it could drive you a little crazy resolving it. Toyota was never any help after 36k miles.

What problems were people having with the driveshaft?

 

Specs on the drivetrain aren't out yet.

 

I'd be more interested in the frame. That's the part that scraps a perfectly good truck.

 

If the 2024 has greaseable Zerks, check to make sure they are greased. This was an issue with 2016s.

I think late model years 3rd gen (2021 and newer) got no zerks (front and rear both shafts)
my 2022 has none. They are just non-serviceable anymore and if they go bad, replace the whole thing.

 

Here is good info on greasable vs. non-greasable joints.

https://4xshaft.com/blogs/faq/greaseable-vs-non-greaseable-joints-which-is-better

“Bottom line on strength: The non-greaseable joint is slightly stronger than a greaseable joint. The exact number, how much stronger, is unknown and we do not believe it to be very significant.

Bottom line on wear life: A regularly greased greaseable joint will outlive a non-greaseable joint. But a non-greaseable joint will outlive a greaseable joint that does not get greased properly.”

I have no preference either way. Since I have 5 greasable Zerks, I grease them at every oil change.

 

Looking at the average Tacoma buyer, I can understand the decision to go with no-zerk joints.
