2024 OFF ROAD

Yes

 

I love this site!!

 

I sure do!!!!

 

Is this better.

 

really sensitive people........

Ive seen gen 4 in person........
They are really nice trucks.
the sticker(which I like) is fugly,
and the sticker price is too much for me.
This is not the end all word of the day, just an opinion which everyone is entitled too.

 

Lol i see what you mean

 

Seen a TRD sport in person and wasn’t a huge fan. Damn air dam is like a plow, longer wheelbase is noticeable, rear suspension and gas tank hangs pretty low, a lot of body lines and the rear bedside looks strange to me.

Interior is also a bit too much. I like basic and simple interiors.

 

This is a pretty funny thread.

 

TW in general is very entertaining

 

Okay, a number of thoughts on this video, which I hadn’t seen since 90s MTV days:

1. Who here is going to use AI to remake it with lyrics and a photo video overlay so each vehicle that comes upon Twain in the desert is a 1st, and then a second, a third gen…?

“you’re one-uh-those guys that like crinkles in his fenders, call it a fourth gen, just in case.”

2. Final dude on the horse at the end of the video seems like a reference to Ali rolling in in that iconic scene from the iconic-scene-rich Lawrence of Arabia (1962).

3. Since we are on the subject of country-ish music and Tacomas, I was recently made aware of the “Blue Tacoma” song by Russell Dickerson, and I have to wonder if it’s his personal vehicle—a third gen Pro.

 

Sat in a TRD OR DC short bed basic package in dealer showroom. No drive. I have a 2023 Sport premium package.
Pros I saw: exterior is much beefier. More truck looking.
Much nicer higher, beefier view from the drivers seat. I assume thats a better feel driving.
Bed walls are deeper.
I have shit stock tires I cant wait to get rid of. This was an OR but tires and suspension seemed a lot better than previous ORs I saw.

Cons I saw: more plastic. Even the interior of the gas port is plastic now. I have leather seats and love them. T his did not so thats part of it. But the seats definitely were not as comfy. The interior seems much cheaper. Its like their RAV4 which i find cheap. There us not much if any observable change in interior space. Yes back seat is still Tacoma back seat. The TV screen is as obnoxious and unnecessary as I thought. It definitely is a minus. Drop kick that to the moon. when i opened inspected and closed the tailgate it felt light and cheap. So light it was off center when I closed and latched it. Had to re open and close again to latch tight.

Overall its didn't seem like this big new truck that the big reveal seemed to be building up. The engine changed. The rest is minor. In a few years I’ll look at them but its not just not some exciting new truck. Its the same Tacoma for the average driver. But I really want to seen the Trailhunter, Pro, and hi end packages which i think will impress more (if you dont look at the sticker).

sidebar: dealer has brand new 4Runner SR5 window listed for under $39k. This Tacoma basic TRD OR DC short bed was list over $47 MSRP.

 

Im talking interior and exterior styling. Its just not some huge change. Inside really is the same. They changed the dressing, a little.
Yes the engine changed. Frame, suspension etc. if you off-road haul tow the changes will be more noticeable. For average or daily driving it won't be that big a change. 1 mpg and less gas tank size defn is not significant. 19% higher price to get the exact teyck i have now. 19% difference? I dont see it. Just my opinion. Not statement of fact.

 

i prefer cookies

 

Those are great too, definitely not here to yuck anyone’s yum (unless it’s a 4G). I just stole one this morning, actually. (Edit for disambiguation: the cookie was stolen, not a yucky 4G)

 

Man what kind of cookie!?

 

Home made chocolate chip from a now former coworker. A little stale after waiting 5 days for the intended recipient, but, no ragrets..he snoozed, and subsequently he losed.

 

sounds good enough to me!
