TRD Pro and Trailhunter pricing announced

So it’s smarter to buy a truck you don’t want?

 

I prefer no power seats and a key ignition. My wife can have the fancy crap.

 

No, it’s smarter to wait until they at least sell them for msrp.

 

Oh, I thought you were saying buy a Tundra.

 

I am surrounded by huge trucks everywhere I go. Texans like their trucks. But I don’t need a full size. My Tacoma does what I need.

I’ll get a 4th gen when the time is right. I’m hoping they bring back Inferno. Supersonic Red is cool too.

 

New Taco turning radius ain't great either, actually equals the tundra of a few years back.

 

I think the real point is, you can get a $25k Kia with power seats.

 

I hope you laughed out loud on the phone.

 

I'm waiting for my callback. It should be fun.

 

$90k for a Tacoma? Outside of looking cool, and probably offering a fun driving experience the truck won't do anything a SR5 won't do. If I could easily afford a $100k midsize truck would I even want one?

 

I don't think I ever paid much attention to the GM trucks on the road, but the majority I recall seeing had beed extended cabs and regular cabs, when GM still sold the RC Colorado. Offering one bed and cab configuration limits the amount of people who would buy a midsize truck. Most of the previous gen ZR2s I see are extended cabs.

 

99% of Tacomas I see here are DC's, unless they're squashing bugs. The eye sees what it wants maybe?

 

When I bought my DC, it had incentives. I could not find a new AC with cash back at that time.

 

I probably see more DC Tacomas than any other Tacomas, but Toyota kept Xtra Cab in the line up. GM and Ford aren't Toyota, and I can't see GM selling a ton of 4dr trucks.

 

Toyota says people don't buy the AC, ao they don't build as many. My experience has been those AC fly of the inventory list faster than DC, and many of the TRD AC are already sold before they ship. The Ford dealerships I check frequently can't keep the the super cab F-150s on the lot for long, when many of the super crews don't go anywhere when those have bigger discounts.

 

I get that, I agree they should be included but they aren't and if that's the only caveat for someone that seems superficial.

 

The new F-150 with the 3.5 will most likely be my next truck. Toyota has been pissing me off lately with the new direction they’ve gone with their trucks. I can’t stand the new tundra.

 

I remember reading somewhere Toyota saying the trailhunter pricing would start around low 50s. Where the base pricing is now is just stupid ridiculous. I understand a lot of extra shit comes with the trailhunter and pro (and I love the Tacoma) but it's still just a Tacoma.

I've already seem several 4th gens around. A white SR5 and what I assume was a sport in the blue crush (which actually looked purple to me in the light conditions). I wonder how many Trailhunters and pros will be seen around? Anyone know when they are supposed to start hitting dealerships?

 

The Trailhunter has at least 2 items that I think add zero value and Toyota could delete for a lower MSRP:
The snorkel and the rear bed rack.
Although I know some may like the snorkel, I suspect most TH owners will remove the bed rack.
