4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

I enjoy reading the rationalizations....it is mind boggling sometimes...

 

People have lost their minds. Their lust for something shiny and new is effecting their brain function.

 

I'll go get a Colorado ZR2 for $49k before a $47k SR5.

 

Plus you can find ZR2's at less than MSRP all over. Shit, a base ZR2 is way more truck than a loaded SR5.

 

yeah....Even when you add all the safety, tech, and convenience packages you are only at around $52.5k.

 

Shoot, Trail Boss for $40K with the 430 tq engine, comes with a lift and 32s. Better dash to look at too.

 

It’s a Toyota…

… not sure if that is good enough anymore. That is coming from a long time fan boy.

 

But where is the cruise control and LED headlights????

 

AI chatbot is confused.

 

Not knocking anyone on this but with interest rates and prices what they are it is no surprise that a lot are flocking to a lifted work truck(Colorado trailboss) that does not have a lot of items that have been/still are standard on other trucks.

 

Dont you hate it when you know more than the people selling the damn thing?

 

The interior of the Traillboss is definitely WT level, but still a tremendous deal compared to the Taco. With the prices the Tacos are demanding you can get a well-equipped Canyon, maybe even a well equipped AT4, which will have a much better interior.

 

That one I optioned with cruise. Not sure about LEDs because I don’t need them. Guess my night vision is good enough!

 

Yeah, bit lame some stuff isn’t standard, but can be optioned for not much. Chevy has a little more too, like available rear non power slider, rear vents, StowFlex space in the tailgate, the 430 tq, and 7700 lbs towing are the biggest plusses.

This is a pretty good amount of options, yes? No 6’ bed is the deal killer for me. That was a bad move on GMs part.

 

It's making the 2022 OR with 28k miles I test drove look even more attractive. $35k, gold certified from Toyota with the associated extended warranty on top of the remaining factory warranty. Before I saw the $47k SR5 I really was not happy at $35 for a 3rd gen. Heck, I'm still not 'happy' per se, but $12k less to get everything I need seems like a no brainer.

Maybe I'll stop by the dealership again after work...

 

How's it equipped? Premium or LED or tech?

 

Just tech package. I'd add heated seats myself if I went this route. Don't really want a sunroof or leather seats. LED would be nice but I can swap bulbs and get 75% of the way there.

 

See if they will take a few thousand off the price now that the new trucks are arriving soon.

 

Yup, that would be the plan for sure. A little off the sale price and a little extra on trade in, then we can talk signing the purchase agreement.

 

I can't believe how much Toyota wants for the new generation. I have a deposit down on a Pro at MSRP and I'm thinking on canceling it and getting the Landcruiser instead. Or I might just supercharge my paid for 21 Tundra Pro double cab that I got at MSRP for 50,900. I can do that for 12 k and still be way ahead of the Tacoma Pro's potential price and have over 550hp and 560 torque. Not to mention a proven engine and supercharger. What would you guys do if you were me?
