Has anyone driven one yet?

Will you guys be getting the Pre-Runner too?

 

I just took a test drive in a 24 sr5 4x4 and was impressed plenty of power any rpm…
What most don’t understand is there’s different outputs with this engine….I don’t know about Highlander ect.
The 24 SR Tacoma is rated at 228 …
Any other model is 278…
I liked the 24 enough to put down a deposit….

 

The Manual transmission models are 270 HP.

 

Yes that is absolutely crushing 8 hp loss…

 

It's also got a different torque curve for whatever it matters. 1700 RPM for the AT and 3000 RPM for MT trucks. Doubt it makes a huge difference really, but there is more to it than just 8 hp and 7 less torque.

 

Alberta

These are the trims available here (No SR, no Limited, no Trail Hunter, etc.)

 

No PreRunner, so does that mean all Tacomas in Canada gonna be 4WD?

 

Yep, no PreRunner, and all 4WD.

These are the manual transmission options:

 

They making any models with the manual and a 6’ bed??

 

Not in Canada

 

This is at my local dealer.

44,000 dollars for an SR5 two wheel drive truck

 

Window sticker

 

Nice!!! Got to love those $2800 in port add ons!!

 

I believe the add ons were a black chrome tail pipe.

And some side steps.

That’s all I can remember anyways.

 

it's highly unlikely that my local dealer will get a '24 with a 6mt- which is the truck I wanna test drive. Would probably have to put down a deposit first.

 

You check the allocation list and see if they or neighboring dealers are getting one in?

 

they haven't had a new unsold on the lot manual tacoma for years

 

I'm gonna have a real hard time not seriously checking one out - if there's one that I like on the lot when I'm at the dealership for my next oil change. That's not for another year, but just saying. I might have to be the one to take my wife's Highlander in hehehehe

 

I test drove a Sport with the premium package. I sold my 2018 Tacoma for a GX because of the constant gear hunting and lack of power in the mountains here in Colorado, and can somewhat confidently say this powertrain/trans combo is better. I would have to be screaming along at 4500 rpm in the old truck to feel the torque this delivered at 2000 rpm. It also felt quicker than my gx470 if that helps anyone.

The interior is nicer, and I for one liked the giant screen. The speakers sounded mediocre but it was missing the removable center jbl speaker, which I find funny because I'm quite sure I'd lose that gimmick myself eventually. Would I buy it for $53,879? No, but I would think about an off-road trim. Waiting to see price on the hybrid for now.

 

4G comes with a manual seat in lower packages?!

For realz?

Does any other new vehicle in NA come with manual seats?
