4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

I expected to see people in 4G Tacomas racing Mustangs by now.

 

Far “fewer” options, but who’s counting.
From what I can see, we have no two-door options at all.
And, it appears that if you want a manual transmission, the default is an Off-road double cab.
I am glad I got my newest truck when I did.

 

Built in France, chassis and suspension designed my Magna Steyr. A lot more practical useful features than the new GX550 or Land Cruiser.

Hey , don't go correcting my Grammer lol

 

Maybe this month. Maybe.

 

$71.5K for base model + 2K for locking diffs, 1K for KO2 tires. Cloth and vinyl seats (not heated). BMW turbo 6 with 332lb-ft torque isn't very impressive for a 5,800lb vehicle nor is the 15mpg. Base GX550 is $64.3K and base GX550 Overtrail is $69.5K. Talk about a "look at me" vehicle - I bought an expensive pet project from a Defender fanboy who was sad when Land Rover stopped making the "classic" Defender. The GX550 is sort of a Land Cruiser with legendary reliability and the the Grenadier is sort of a Defender with legendary unreliability. I don't see the point of this vehicle.

 

A dealer..not my dealer ..said next week.

 

It's built for a different type of car enthusiast...

 

Yep couldn’t agree more. If I wanted to showboat, that wouldn’t be it, nor would it be a new LC/GX Prado, or Tacoma.

Maybe a Bobbed Deuce and a Half or 900 Series 5 Ton. Bet you’ll have to beat the middle-age men off with a stick at filling stations. Hell of a lot cheaper too, just can’t be in a hurry to go anywhere.

That Grenadier was put together for world travel in that regard its not all that pricey. Personally if I were setting up a world travel rig I would probably do something like the member here that is traveling the world with a Tacoma and a flatbed FWC.

There is a comparison on YouTube of a few different 4x4's out of the UK. I think they compare the Grenadier/Wrangler/Ranger Raptor/a 4wd Dacia and AWD Suzuki. The Ranger Raptor was impressive, and the Jeep went where the Grenadier couldn't.

 

Kinda like those Mercedes G-Wagons base 464. Ungodly expensive and spartan for what it is. Makes me tingly for some reason. People would say “you paid how much for that!?”

Those are capable rigs

 

Showboating? You literally recommended a more expensive and less reliable SUV to someone because it has your preferred spartan amenities.

 

Some euro-spec G-wagons may be spartan but none of the ones sold in the US are. Not even close.

 

No 4th gen for me.

 

Have been following it loosely, Jim Ratcliffe the owner wanted to use the old Defender tooling, but Land Rover said no. Yeah, price wise isn’t bad considering that is a ground up built vehicle. He’ll never make his investment back, don’t think he cares.

Round the World travel, love my Tacoma and all, don’t think I would choose it though, not built heavy enough. Maybe fly and buy a LC70 of some sorts, or rent vehicles in different places to get to try various flavors of vehicles, especially ones we don’t get here. That sounds more fun.

 

Have a buddy and few clients that have them. Definitely built for the US market, though the clients who do have them consider them the run around beater vehicle for going to the horse stables, skiing, etc.

 

Weird. Either Toyota is having manufacturing issues or they’re giving it to TRD Jon instead.

 

He wants solar octane I swear to f-ing god though if that was him.

 

Retired military with a lot of time overseas followed by foreign military sales to a lot of countries. If you want reliable and easy parts availability, There is only one choice: #1 Land Cruiser with a close #2 of Hilux.
