Tacoma with rear disc brakes ? How can they go backwards?

Been a fourm member a long time, search Tacoma drum brakes, and you’ll see all the fanboys that had all the reasons why drum brakes were superior to disc brakes. The mud stays out of them, they’re simple. Etc. Most logical people said Toyota was just being cheap and they’ll eventually go to disc brakes like every other manufacturer in the world. The drum brake fanboys said that would never happen That was one of Toyotas most awesome features. Well Why did the 2024 Tacoma come with disc brakes and say there better ? is Toyota lying then or are they lying now. Lol

 

I highly doubt anyone ever thought they were awesome nor would never be upgraded, but hey it's Friday.

 

Tundra owners also say V8's will never go away. Here we are.

 

I reckon toyota just got tired of the bitching about being the only truck with drums, so they caved into market pressure. Either will do the job.

 

Makes sense to me...

 

Beat me to it!

 

Put the gear selector in "R"

 

This is what I thought I was coming in to haha

 

I'm starting a disc-to-drum conversion business for the 4th gen. It'll be a gold mine; who's in??

 

All 3rd to 4th gen owners who just can't let go...

 

They're.

 

A lot was said to justify the 3rd gen

 

^Yep, in 2004 for the 2nd gen debut, Toyota openly told Motor Trend the drums were to save money. World was simpler back then. SAE dyno standards were looser, so the 2nd gen was advertised at 245 hp instead of 236.
