    Oh, if you find a right dealership, then I am sure they will create a schedule just for you.

    More gizmos, parts and addons mean more cost, maintenance and repair bills.
    Great out the door, but ask the question again when the warranty is up.
    Do you need it and do you want it ?

    You forget - Toyota is the "Master" of hybrid engines. Been that way for decades. Watch and Learn Tacoman

    Its going to be a steep price tag for the hybrid, guess it's ok if you have the extra cash to spend for a little extra horsepower.

    And also nice quiet cabin since Hybrids (when on battery) are silent.

    Seriously doubt that. Especially if mileage doesn't change much. New cars and truck now backing up in dealer lots, as buyers stay away. Which means price cuts coming to a theater near you,

    There are no Tacoma's backing up on Dealer lots, they sell as many as they can make. The 2024 is a brand new model so there will be a significant price bump, especially on the hybrid models when they hit the dealerships next year.

    I was referring to the Torque. The hybrid has 10% more torque than the new Canyon..which has 430.

    Not if Mr. Recession has anything to say about it, along with a Fed that loves to continue raising rates. Look for new vehicle loan interest rates to go throw da roof just as dealer inventory becomes a major problem.

    Doesn't matter. Extra costs up front and repairs down the line. You think it's maintenance free lol ?
    More parts = more maintenance, bottom line.
