Temptation of the 4th gen?

Well you have the purchase price of the vehicle ... then you have depreciation ... then when you trade in the dealership will give you a certain amount -value so they can make a profit. then you get the new vehicle + so much of the difference in the trade in ... then depreciation hits you .... ... not really opinion ...

 

You deleted your post, but I was referring to your line “your not getting anything better than what you have”

Some feel certain perks of the 4G are worth it.

 

No: especially not in the first year of production for this Generation if your current truck isn't having any current or expected issues. (how many miles on it?)

I might hypothetically consider one in the second or third year if I was ready. But looking at the current asking prices, it's doubtful.

 

Stretching your passengers face against the back window; priceless.

 

3rd gen has Heat /AC / Blue Tooth / plenty comfort features ... what does the 4gen do the 3rd doesnt that makes it worth 50k

 

6k miles

 

Good point

 

I give it 10 years at the most.

 

Any Tacoma mid-size truck at these crazy 4G starting prices should have the latest and greatest Toyota V6 as standard equipment or a no-cost option. Toyota has them
so there's no excuse: Look at Lexus.

Standard engine 4-banger/Turbo and a "Forced-on-you" Hybrid is a non-starter for me...especially at $40,000+ price point.

 

I’ve had access to several 4th gen trucks now and I still have zero interest in owning one. I will be driving my 3rd gen until it falls apart.

 

If you doubt, you are free to look yourself.

But here's a bone....a vid of a vid when it was overheating (and the riders glossing over it - I saw the same original video, he's showing). Seen it multiple times. You are flat wrong if you doubt.

You're welcome.



And another, shall I go on (and this is just recent. The 3rd Gen does not)?:

 

you post 1 video of a guy posting about another guy....geezus ...drink the kool-aid in the 50 gallon drum more....the other vid isnt working.
I dont need to look, I am NOT the one making claims. But since you suggest I do: https://forum.pickuptrucktalk.com/threads/the-truth-about-2024-tacoma-transmissions-failing.396/



In short Quote: Chicken Little disease is rampant on YouTube these days. There's officially 4 NHTSA complaints with 2 failures out of tens of thousands of 2024 Tacoma models. The supplier is most likely Aisin and they build transmissions for all the brands.

Not my words, I did go onto the NHSTA There are 5 complaints when I looked, 1 is for transmission.....The reason for the replacement of the transmission FYI, is there arent parts to fix it, so its faster to just swap a whole transmission. Ford had a similar issue with the all new Bronco with no parts ( Covid)

Chevy and Ford have a deal for you.

 

Click on the video link ("watch on YouTube"). It works.
There are multiple examples out there over MONTHS. Yes. Take the L

 

That last video he was clearly in 4HIGH....the comments are priceless.

I sure don't see MONTHS of failed Tacomas, I see a couple of NON owners talking about issues from other creators in order to monetize their channel...Pretty sad really.

 

I think I can get 300K out of my Gen 2. At the rate I drive that will be in 2053.

 

Maybe, my 2011 has 79k

 

TFL video, the guy w/ the accent in CO... he's running the "Blueberry Taco" (The one the axle infamously broke on video) and the transmissions begins to overheat. Look, I want the 24 Taco to be good, but issues are coming to bare w/ the major redesign. This is one of them... like the Tundra, it will likely build until Toyota gets on top of it. I am NOT looking for it... It's coming across me views on YouTube (yes, "man bites dog" sells).
Just remember, you were the one being a PIA today when this starts cropping up/reported more and more. Fair enough? I'm done spoon feeding you videos. Yeah, I saw the Chicken Little one before you posted it. He maybe right, I suspect he's not (based on Tundra and Toyota is having rough time right now). I am no 4 gen hater. I'm rooting for it.
