2024 Early Technical Information

Other silly question, the bed mat and door sills carry over? Need to order those prior to mine showing up. Thanks!

 

As a general rule, I would assume nothing carries over. I'm sure there will be some stuff (e.g., the M/T TRD shift knob), but it's all very different.

Have you looked into the spray on bedliner? I wonder how that will hold up...one benefit is less weight.

 

I think it’s a gimmick. The Tundra guys say it chunks off as expected when trying to adhere it to composite already. Mat has done fine for me. I’ll test fit mine lol

 

The one I'm getting had the bedliner option. I wouldn't have picked it but I can update in a few weeks.

 

few weeks? I have a first round allocation and it’s still showing “in production” dealer said already there’s parts delays and then another 2-3 weeks transit

 

I thought yours was built.

 

I should have an update today but I was told it was made last week. They estimated end of January. I guess a month would be more accurate. But who knows.
First one at my dealership in Southern Oregon.

 

No idea, got a text from salesman saying it was being built, checked today with him for permanent vin and he said it’s still showing in production.

 

Same, mine had a production of the week 18-24th. Do you have a real VIN now, that spec sheet is a temporary.

 

Might want to revise https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/4th-gen-tacoma-2024.734643/page-904#post-29415711

 

Why would I revise? I was told it was built and in production as of now. That post was me sharing the same information the dealer provides.

 

It goes from allocation (temporary VIN) to production then it gets a real VIN, then freight and dealer. My temporary VIN quit working (production) on the 13th.

 

Bed mat is shaped differently because of the longer wheelbase - more space between the wheelwells and the head board, less space between the wheelwells and the tailgate.

 

I figured as much and have one on order.

 

No hand brake,

 

might not be a bad thing, those electronic parking brakes have been around for a while and quite reliable. If left on by default, it automatically engages and disengages when the truck is in and out of park. Many people don't bother using parking brake, so automating it can help with minimizing wear and tear on the pawl in transmission

 

I use my park brake literally every time I park

 

on the contrary, unless I park on a huge incline and want to be extra safe, when I had my manual Tacoma I only put it in 1st gear to keep the truck from rolling on a flat surface.
On 3rd gen Tacoma, people have been reporting parking brake seizes after rain or snow.
I also don't use parking brake if I park more than 1 week just to prevent seizing

 

does Toyota not have SSPs like VAG
