Does the four banger sound like a Corolla?

    It took some time to adjust to a six cylinder. Does the 2024 Tacoma four cylinder sound like a Corolla?

    I don't say this in a bad way but it sounds like a tractor. The turbo noise is very loud so it won't sound anything like a corolla. I think it sounds fine - people like to pretend that the 2grfks sounds great when it really doesn't. Take off the muffler and it sounds worse than a VQ. The 4th gen 4cyl is fine

    Plenty of sound clips on YT...

    They sound like a tractor. The closest comparison would be a Cummins diesel with the tractor sound and turbos.

    I think I will keep my 2023 I don’t think I will like a truck that sounds like a tractor lol.

    It was a mistake when Toyota went to a four cylinder that’s why I didn’t wait for the 2024 and went ahead and purchased my 2023.

    I had rather drive a minivan than a tractor. My V6 Tacoma has a great sound, sounds nothing like a minivan.

    They sound decent with the stock or trd exhaust, once you start adding aftermarket cat backs it sounds worse than a straight piped 350z. It's awful

    I’m sure it’s a nice truck it’s a Tacoma I’m just not ready to go four cylinder yet. For all you guys that has purchased one by no means am I trying to criticize it, it’s just not for me who knows what the future will bring cause from my understanding Toyota is not going back to the V6.

    Wish it sounded like a Corolla GR.

    And wish the turbo sounded like this;

    People pick the weirdest stuff to get obsessed with. I owned lots of cars and trucks in my life. I don’t think I could really describe the sound of any of them. They just sound like cars and trucks.

    There is nothing like the sound of a big block Chevy with a high lift cam hitting a lick. If you ever hear that sound you will know the difference in engine sounds.

    Yes, Its kinda weird. Outside the truck and at idle it sounds like a diesel, but inside the cabin when accelerating it definitely sounds like a a normal 4cyl engine.

    Personally I like the electric motor whine of my Rav ... (the external pedestrian safety sound is annoying, though).
