Tale of the Tape - 3rd gen vs 4th gen

That's because of the giant plastic fender flares, right; and not actual wider axles?

 

Pretty sure it’s both.

 

I didn't think the pro's control arms or axle was any any wider, just wheel offsets.

 

That's my understanding as well. They got the extra width from just wheel offset and fender flares.

 

Yep.

“Extended travel” 2024 Toyota style.

What a joke really. It’s a TRD pro FFS.

 

Matter of perspective. Lower trims are "hiding" the width by using massively inset +50mm wheels. The Pro needs wider flares because it's using more normal wheels.

 

Sheet, my old 2gen was almost as big as my wife’s g1 Tundra.

 

1g Tundra vs 4g Tacoma Double cab comparison according to wiki and Toyota website:

Wheelbase: 1g- 140 4g-131.9
Length: 1g- 230 4g-213
Width: 1g- 79 4g-77
Height: 1g- 74 4g-74

All dimensions in inches

 

Bigger & more expensive while less capable.

This is only happening to US Toyota thought. Hilux is small, because no one will pay over 50K in pick up truck just for looks like many morons in market today do , as they keep paying more and more.

 

Best Selling Trucks in the WORLD (2023 figures)

#1 Ford F-series
#2 Chevy Silverado
#3 Toyota Hilux
#4 Ram Pickup
#5 GMC Sierra
#6 Ford Ranger
#7 Toyota Tacoma
#8 Isuzu D-Max
#9 Toyota Tundra
#10 Fiat Strada

 

The Ford, Chevy, and Rams are always misrepresented on those lists, because they lump heavy duty models in with the half ton count.

 

Online says Hilux is $40-53k USD in Australia and is:

Length: 209" Width: 79" Height: 73"

Not sure about other locations but at first look your statement seems wrong.

 

Hilux is diesel lol and WAY better than Tacoma is, it tows more and hauls more. Tacoma is a rip off compared to Hilux, Tacoma should cost half price of what Hilux costs. So saying Hilux costs same makes no sense, Hilux is win win for that price

 

What would a Hilux cost if Toyota decided to sell in in the US?

 

I'm guessing the increase in towing and capacity is based on the frame? HP and torque are better on the Tacoma. It would be great to have better numbers on the Tacoma.

Saying the Hilux costs the same makes perfect sense, since it pretty much does. The towing is like 1300 lbs less (~17%) less, saying that demands a 50% price reduction does not seem to make sense.

 

It would more than likely be the same cost as the Tacoma.

 

#1 is definitely f 150. I see them the most up here. Got quite a few on my street. Im the only one with a Tacoma, and there is a dude with a frontier.

 

+55 is huge inset.

 

SR5 is 60. Land Cruiser is 70.

 

Gen 2 Tundra +60
