Gen 4’s on sale already!

I have a hood that hides “all that crap”

 

I’d beat that 2.4t

 

sorry bro, as a lifelong technician and also a Toyota supporter, that is one of the messiest engine bays I’ve ever seen. Closed hood or not, it’s a rats nest. Toyota can do better for what they are charging. If you have to explain style to somebody, they don’t have it.

 

So the more expensive a vehicle the cleaner looking an engine bay is?

 

have you never looked under the hood of a Lexus, Mercedes, Audi or BMW? Trust me, it would never look like that 2.4 Turdbo. Where is the engineering pride and styling? Fanboys just don’t want to hear any criticism, even when warranted

 

It's a truck. Not a luxury vehicle. They could clean it up in upcoming years. Not a big deal.

 

I am more curious as to why if the exhaust header is on the right side, Toyota decided to crossover the remaining exhaust to the left? Ya, the gas tank is in the way. But, why isn't the gas tank on the left? Is that why we are left with a puny gas tank? Cause someone had spatial incoherence on decision day?

I don't have one to crawl underneath. Maybe the techs here can explain.

 

Jeez, another fanboy accusation.

 

Someone has never opened a hood of a Porche.

 

ok my last comment then I’ll stop. Look under the hood of a 3rd gen and compare to a 4th gen. Which looks cleaner and more organized? The 3rd gen does even with the cosmetic cover OFF. Not important to some, but to others makes a statement about being detail oriented.

 

front Porche or back Porche? It’s Porsche

 

Got me! At least I have been under the hood of one.

 

Those days are long gone.

 

to get your suitcase out of the front trunk, yes I believe that. Show me a Porsche engine bay that is a bigger visual cosmetic mess than a 2024 Tacoma.

 

Pretty sloppy looking under this Audi engine cover and it was double the cost of a Tacoma.

 

The horror. The horror.

 

You also have never been in a foreign country electrical panel.

 

Audis these days cost the same as Tacomas.

 

Yep
