The inflated price was bound to happen, as Toyota has built its reputation on reliability, dependability, and resale value, at least IF you decide to sell down the road, you should command a decent return. Nonetheless, it still hurts the pocketbook, but have fun your young and will earn in other ways.
I do like it better than my 22 for sure. My 22 was a rattly mofo. It had rattles in the dash and in the headliner. The 24 doesn’t have any rattles yet. And I drive on a dirt road everyday. And the glovebox doesn’t rattle in mine either.
My mom is still driving her 2016 Tacoma, and it’s in Great condition. You’re stuck with that truck for life my dude 😅. I do want a new Tacoma as I’ve never owned one, crossing my fingers that prices come down a bit in the next year, I’m really liking these new models 🤞
@jed23ify my 16 has been leaking oil from a blown seal for about 2 years literally a few thousand miles after my extended warranty ended. Toyota quoted me over $5k to fix and I was told it wasn't worth fixing. These trucks aren't as reliable as many think. Every oil change I dump a bottle of blue devil oil stop leak to lessen leakage. It does seem to help ans because of this my truck isn't worth what it should be worth.
@@donjuan2105 sorry to hear that dude, I would honestly try looking for another reputable mechanic and probably only charge you half of what Toyota is charging you. As much as I love Toyotas for their reliability, their mechanic prices are insane. I got my breaks done for my Camry hybrid at a specialty brake shop and got charged literally half of what Toyota was quoting me.
I got mine for $45k, it’s not the off-road premium, but it’s still the trd off-road. I leased my 22’ off-road premium like an idiot, and took it to the dealership a few days ago to buy out the lease, they had a white off-road with the MT like my ‘22. I had to trade it!😂 seems alright so far, but my 22 was super well equipped and I liked it a lot
Adjusted for inflation, they are actually priced the same as they always have been. You can look up the window stickers for almost every model over the past 25 years, and when compared with an inflation calculator, they are the same. You have to negotiate off some dealer add-ons in some cases. But that's not hard.
Your not driving a true japanese vehicle. Its purely mexican & american w a japanese copyright. U will nevr find these over priced plastic coke cans in japan or SEA.
I don’t get it, why are you looking at a new 2024 model if you have a 2018 TRD Pro? 🤔. Your vehicle is top notch and newish in a sense, don’t get caught up in the hype and lose money my guy. These newer 2024 models are definitely more expensive than they should be, but it’s also really for people that don’t have a Tacoma if that makes sense. My mom has a 2015-2016 Tacoma and it’s in great shape, so your kind of stuck with it my dude 😅
No.1 is 100% the fuel tank size... No drivers side A-pillar grab handle, and no rear center armrest are my only complaints. Price also sucks but the Tacoma is not unique in this situation. All cars are insanely expensive, and interest rates make it just an overall poor time for a large purchase. Currently, if I cannnot pay cash for something, i'm not interested.
You’re not wrong. That fuel tank thing is annoying. Although my 22 had the same issue. Hardly any range. But yeah it’s unfortunate how expensive everything has gotten. But you’re right they are all going through the roof.
Last year my cousin bought a 6 cylinder Tacoma TRD pro for 40 k , but this year the same car with 4 cylinder 55 k , what the heck! Who is paying but crazy people?
Yeah my tires are at 35 psi. They ship them with a bunch of air in the tires but the dealership is supposed to set it to the right pressure during their inspection
Same thing happened to me , noticed it road a Little rough so l checked the pressure and it was 52 psi all 4 tires. You can really tell the difference when you lower it back to 32 psi.
I removed the key beeping in my FJ Cruiser many years ago and super happy with that mod. It was annoying to have the key in the ignition to listen some music and hear the beeping all the time. Now i can put some music with the FJ engine off and no beeping.
MAKES NO SENSE FOR THE OVERPRICE!!! You just wanted it. With the amount of sharing throughout the Toyota line up now,and with 25 4RUNNER ... Should be a lot cheaper! You can say you love it all you want!
the power tailgate doesnt come on the premium trim level in Canada, we get the regular tailgate. at first when i received my sport premium i was kinda disapointed and then i remembered that the first thing that i have broken or accident i have been in on my previous trucks have all been the tailgate. powered tailgate with buttons in the taillights is just another expensive part to pay for when it gets damaged. now im happy i dont have the powered tailgate.
Man, I like your honesty, thank you and for that reason I will not be purchasing one. The small tank is one of them and the glitchy radio and who knows what else is going to come up I’ll just wait this one out 52KMSRP is not looking cool to me.
I appreciate you watching! The small fuel tank is annoying. I’m hoping they’ll have an update to make the Apple car play a little smoother. And to be fair you can get a TRD offroad for about 46. I actually went down a rabbit hole last night and priced the Colorado and Ranger compared to the Tacoma. They’re all expensive 🥵😂 in any case I appreciate you watching and supporting my channel!
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 If everybody would stop paying these HIGH prices, then the manufacturers would get the message. They're price gouging ---all of them. Let these new vehicles sit.on the dealership lots.They can chew on that for dinner
I also noticed the weird options packages when pricing one out... if i wanted the stabilizer disconnect, you cant get it als carte, your cheapest option is to pay around 5 grand for a package that includes it.... wish you could option them out the way you want it, and not have to pay for 1 thing you want and get stuck with 4 other things you dont want
Yeah. Unfortunately that’s how toyota does it. There is no “factory order” with toyota. And to take it a step further, the dealership doesn’t even get to order what they want for inventory. Toyota tells them what they’re getting. They can, to some extent, add or remove accessories like bed steps, running boards, all weather floor mats etc. but they don’t even get to pick the cars.
I also don’t like how you can’t walk up to the rear passenger doors and have them automatically unlock like you can with the front driver and passenger doors. I put stuff in the back and constantly have to go back to the driver door to hold my hand there for the back to unlock.
Last night the weather was great, so stopped by the Nissan and Toyota dealers, which are next to each other. This was after the salesmen were gone, so I just looked around and got sticker shock at a Capstone that was over 80 thousand! There were only 3 Frontiers, so I guess they sold all the ones I looked at a while back. There were 7 Tacomas, and they oddly were all base models, six identical white ones and one silver. Very strange choice of inventory. Up close for the first time, as a former body shop guy, my first impression is that I have NEVER seen so many body lines of different types all combined into one vehicle. It's as if Toyota asked all its stylists to submit ideas, then they fed ALL of them into a computer and told it to combine all the ideas into a single body style. SO busy! I then went back to the Frontier, and it's like my eyes could rest as I looked over the simpler lines. To me Nissan has puffed the hood up over the bed rails too much, but ALL the manufacturers are doing that now for some kind of competition apparently. I also don't understand why late model trucks also have so much front overhang. None of my older trucks had that. Is this some kind of mandated crush zone? My conclusion is that Toyota chose very complex lines to go with the complexity under the hood. Just a guess. Nissan keeps it simpler inside and out. Except they should offer the simple six speed manual to complete the formula.
Yeah the capstone tundra is crazy isn’t it! I’d say it is one of the most luxurious trucks I’ve ever driven tho. But I’d say the platinum or 1794 have everything I’d ever want for 5-8k less. And I would agree the body is pretty busy. Toyota has said they were trying for a trophy truck styling. So it has the skinny body and wide fenders. And then all the body lines are probably Toyota just trying to make it look aggressive. I personally like the look but there’s a butt for every seat. That’s why there’s a million different flavors of car. 😁
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 That's a classic saying! My first stepfather employed me in his used car biz during my senior year, anything from detailing to engine work. I was spoiled and could drive anything I wanted on his lot to school or even to go 4 wheeling. He would sometimes get weird stuff in, and he always proclaimed there's a butt for every seat. He was right too. My favorites were a TLC with a 327 swap, and a Mopar 4x4 with a 440. Strange how that was 40 years ago and I remember it vividly. Last night was a time warp too. Right next to that Tundra was the Chevy dealer body shop I worked at right out of high school. Man time just evaporates. That's when the Corvette C4 was brand new. They would not allow me to put my teenage hands on it.
@@jeanclaude7018 oh yeah there is in fact a butt for every seat. I’ve only been at the dealership a little over 6 years and I’ve seen some weird cars. Some come through and I say no one’s buying that and sure enough… someone comes and buys it😂 I’ve never been lucky enough to be able to take whatever I want home. That sounds like the dream😂. That’s crazy about the corvettes tho! We’re on the c8 now😂 I’ve always like the c3s and c6s!
Proud owner of a 2022 GMC Canyon here. Last V6 you can get from GM as they moved away from V6. When its time I will upgrade my truck, going to RAM only truck that still use V6 engines… well so far. Hope they don’t move away from it…..
Yeah I think they still sell their 3.6 but they don’t have the hemis anymore. Those were all replaced with straight 6 twin turbos. Could always find a clean used one when you’re ready too👍 thanks for watching
Did I say 16😬 if I did I didn’t mean to. I actually have a whole video on gas mileage. I was getting in the 18s in that video. As it breaks in it’s getting better. I’m up to 19 now. And I drive it pretty fast
lol nah just one of them. And it’s not even that it’s expensive (which it is) but just that they package things so you have to get stuff you don’t necessarily want. I will say tho, now that I’ve had the truck a few months, some of the stuff I didn’t want is actually kind of nice😂
I think they should bring back a base model Tacoma or t100 or something. Make it the size of the 2000 tacoma. Make it as base as possible. (Manual windows/ locks/ seats/ everything and sell it for like 25k
Not even a little bit. Even if it doesn’t last quite as long the improved drivability is absolutely worth it. The 4cylinder and 8 speed are actually one of my favorite things about the truck. I also believe that toyota knows how to build a turbo motor. They built the 2jz which is one of the greatest turbo motors of all time. So it’s not new to them. So yeah I’m not worried about it👍😁
My Five: 1. Plastic interior 2. No lockable fuel cap 3. Audio is leveled more to the front cab 4. Sun Visor rubs the headliner when you pull to the side. 5. Both USB connections in the console are for power. No data. You have to use the one on the side of the screen, and yes all the annoying warning tones.
Yeah! I was driving home today and It must have been the first time I tried to move my visor to the side. I moved it and it hit the headliner and I was like wtf??? What a weird design!!
Am a Toyota guy and still have my 19 Tacoma TRD Sport which we bought new for 37K nicely optioned. Knocked around another Tacoma but ended up with a 23 Colorado ZR2 loaded for 53K. Toyota just priced me out for what they give you. Yes, Toyota reliability is worth something but I never keep a truck past 100K.
Last year I bought my Toyota Tacoma trd 4x4 off road With 7 miles on it 42k out the door I tough I was paying too much but after seen videos about 24 Tacoma no way rather keep it
There is a lot of plastic. I will say tho it is one of the better looking/ feeling plastic interiors I’ve sat in. You can spend 85k on a ford super duty and their interior is way worse😂
@counterfeitcowboy1362 That's true. As for pricing, I think it's comical that Toyota moved production to Mexico to improve efficiency and lower costs, and THIS IS THE RESULT. Go figure...
Yeah. I mean I get that pricing goes up. And honestly it’s still comparable to the market depending on the trim. (Excluding the pro) but it still sucks that it went up, and that it went up so much😂
You don’t have to reboot the system if car play doesn’t connect when you remote start it. Just go to settings, Bluetooth, select your phone, connect to apple car play on the right side.
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 it takes me 3-5 seconds to connect the phone by going to settings and Bluetooth since it is already paired. I’m sure rebooting the system take way longer
The xtra cabs are super hard to find. They are actually the Same wheelbase tho. The difference is the xtracab has a longer bed, the double cab has a longer cab and a shorter bed. The only way you get a longer wheelbase if you get the double cab long bed. Then it’s a foot longer.
The gas tank complaint is for real. And I'm super thankful I did not get the power tailgate with mine. However, I will say, mine was optioned almost exactly how I wanted it. Don't feel like I got any extra junk.
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 I got the Underground, with white accent trim on the interior, which I think is my favorite unique thing about the interior. It's a 4x4 TRD Offroad, but I kept it pretty basic otherwise, with the exception of the upgraded dash and 14inch screen. Do wish I had the JBL sound, but I only paid 44k, leaving plenty of room for some custom sound upgrades.
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 the dealer plugs a OBD II scanner into your car and hooks it up to their computer and they can change it. They can also limit it to 1 beep. Ask your dealer they should be able to help.
That seatbelt beeper would make me rage. I wonder if it can be turned off with one of those carista things like the Tundra. Anyway, that truck is beautiful. The look of the new Tacoma is so great, and in Solar Octane, the greatest color ever. I'm jealous 😀
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 The Carista app does allow you to turn off the seatbelt chimes. Pay $10 for a month of access to advanced settings and then you can probably cancel the subscription after you've made changes if you're not going to use all the other features. You also need a compatible OBD reader. Carista has theirs but it's a bit limited in it's compatibility with other vehicles. I have an OBDLink LX, which is more expensive but works with the Carista app as well as many other apps, for example one that works with my BMW motorcycle. Android user BTW so can't speak to how Apple works with these products. As for the seatbelt chime, you can turn off each seatbelt individually, for example you can turn off just the front seats and leave the rear seatbelt chimes working. I was also able to change other settings, for example have the touch to change lanes turn signal function from 3 flashes to 4. Also turned off the fake engine sounds...
Good! I said at the end of the video that I would still buy another one. I also have a video of 5 things I love about my Tacoma. This truck is an absolute blast! And I think you’ll like yours 👍
he complains about he price, then he says " i sell these things", so now I know he didn't pay full price like I would have to if I didn't work for the stealership. Cars cost more then my first house. Just say no!!! America
Yea having 6 cylinders is cool. But to be honest I was not a fan of the previous powertrain. I would 1000% percent rather drive this new turbo 4. The power delivery is so much better. I just hope it lasts 300k miles. That’s all I ask😂
lol my 22 sr5 v6 got like 22mpg after about 10k miles. This one is still breaking in and it’s getting better. But I drive this one fast because it is actually fun to drive😂 I’m still getting about 19 in this one driving like that.
I have on and it's easy to get 20 mpg and easily 21 if you do a lot of interstate driving. I get 19.5 around town. But this Taco is really easy to hotdog around in because that turbo is addictive. But if you drive it at the acceleration of previous models you'll easily get 20.
I think the seat belt alarm could play a Toyota jingle instead. The price increase is a little steep in my opinion, but it's a Toyota and we love them.
Anything other than what it does. I guess it works tho because I can’t go anywhere without my seatbelt buckled😂 but I do love this truck it is so good at what it does!
My tundra has a 38 gallon fuel tank and gets me about 550 miles of range ;) this Tacoma to me was a huge swing and a miss in almost all aspects…. I paid 45k for my 21 TRD sport crewmax tundra .
Yeah you could😂 I’m excited to drive a hybrid Tacoma. It won’t have trx power but it has 15 less hp and 65 more ft lb of torque than Toyotas 5.7L v8. Idk about you but a taco with v8 power sounds like a blast to me😂
Yeah the chev screen is nice too. I actually traded a Silverado on this Tacoma that had the same screen and I really liked it. You can get a smaller screen on the Tacoma tho so its less iPad looking👍
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 fair enough and I don’t disagree. I had similar issues in my last whip. Couldn’t have blue tooth connected while you plug it in or it would mess up.
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 I had a 2022 Tacoma Nighshade in Magnetic Grey - It was a nice truck but it ended up being a lemon with battery and technology issues. It was made in peak COVID lockdown times - that is the excuse I use at least. Ended up with a white 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X after having issues with the 2022 Hybrid Grand Cherokee 4xE I traded the Tacoma for. The Canyon has been super awesome so far! 2022 was not a good year for manufacturers I guess. I am glad I bought the white Canyon before I saw the Solar Octane or I would have given Toyota another chance.
I have a 22 Tundra and by these damn prices... Might be the last vehicle I ever purchase. I hope that sheet last. Inflation keeps going up but now the raises we get at work. PS.... Go aftermarket and make it a beast. I still have the stock belstien struts and shocks on mine, but I'm planing on swapping those with either kings or Fox a bit after 50K. I have about another 30K miles to go.
Those new tundras are awesome. I was shocked by how much tundras went up from 22 to 24s I swear when I was building the limited hybrid tundras with the stuff I wanted on them they were like 60k in 2022 now they are like 68!
Theres only 1 thing i don't like after driving one. It feels so cheap on the interior compared to 3rd gen. It has more tech but feels so chinsy inside.
I don't know why, but this depends on the model somehow. I have a TRD Offroad and I love the interior. But the first dealer I went to would only let me drive a cheaper model and I hated the interior. I don't agree that it feels cheaper than the 3rd gen at all though. Fit and finish on mine is tight, and a lot better than my 2015 Tundra.
Honestly I’d rather the raw plastic, the pro has gloss black flare. They look cool but they are going to get scratched really bad. And the TRD offroads have had raw plastic fenders since 2016
I felt this way for years. But I have a Tundra also, so wasn't real worried about it on the Taco. HOWEVER, I find this bed to be extremely functional for camping and mountain biking. It's just easier to use when I don't need a massive bed. So much easier to get stuff in and out of.
I keep saying they should give us a 2004 double cab sized truck and just make is as basic as possible. Roll up windows. Manual door locks etc. they could call it the t100 and price it at like 23k
55-56k is the starting price of a Ranger Raptor (If its not marked up). But still - its what you're getting for the money at 60k. Having to spend that money.. only to spend more on Suspension tires and wheels.. at 60k??? Come on man.
@@counterfeitcowboy1362I wasn’t talking to u specifically, more to the guys who have nothing but bad things to say about lmao sorry if it came off like that
You’re living dangerously son. If you Tacoma owners are anything like us 4Runner owners, you done messed up saying anything at all negative about your truck. I made the huge mistake of criticizing the Toyota app the other day and you would have thought I called people the N word… I swear, the 4Runner owners in Reddit are more sensitive than 8th grade boys.
Oh yeah. 😂 don’t criticize the app! ( I sell Toyotas and I can admit it going be better😂) Reddit might be the other problem. All I can say is keep doing you, talk crap on that app if you want to. And thanks for watching!😁
WHAT DO YOU THINK? ARE THESE THINGS DEAL BREAKERS FOR YOU?
Just for the money, it's the plastic. I think the TRD Pro has a soft door upper panel. Hopefully I can get that part and swap that hard plastic.

@@counterfeitcowboy1362 If everybody would stop paying these HIGH prices, then the manufacturers would get the message. They're price gouging ---all of them. Let these new vehicles sit.on the dealership lots.They can chew on that for dinner
How do you like the cardboard skid plate?😊
Haven’t had to use it yet😂
the skid plate on my 23 works good and she was beached lol
I also noticed the weird options packages when pricing one out... if i wanted the stabilizer disconnect, you cant get it als carte, your cheapest option is to pay around 5 grand for a package that includes it.... wish you could option them out the way you want it, and not have to pay for 1 thing you want and get stuck with 4 other things you dont want
Yeah. Unfortunately that’s how toyota does it. There is no “factory order” with toyota. And to take it a step further, the dealership doesn’t even get to order what they want for inventory. Toyota tells them what they’re getting. They can, to some extent, add or remove accessories like bed steps, running boards, all weather floor mats etc. but they don’t even get to pick the cars.
I also don’t like how you can’t walk up to the rear passenger doors and have them automatically unlock like you can with the front driver and passenger doors. I put stuff in the back and constantly have to go back to the driver door to hold my hand there for the back to unlock.
Yeah even my offroad premium doesn’t have sensors on the back doors. Idk if the premium in the previous gen did. But that is kind of a weird thing
Two weeks rear power outlet failed and now the hood scope is separating dealer appt Wed.
Last night the weather was great, so stopped by the Nissan and Toyota dealers, which are next to each other. This was after the salesmen were gone, so I just looked around and got sticker shock at a Capstone that was over 80 thousand!
There were only 3 Frontiers, so I guess they sold all the ones I looked at a while back. There were 7 Tacomas, and they oddly were all base models, six identical white ones and one silver. Very strange choice of inventory. Up close for the first time, as a former body shop guy, my first impression is that I have NEVER seen so many body lines of different types all combined into one vehicle. It's as if Toyota asked all its stylists to submit ideas, then they fed ALL of them into a computer and told it to combine all the ideas into a single body style. SO busy!
I then went back to the Frontier, and it's like my eyes could rest as I looked over the simpler lines. To me Nissan has puffed the hood up over the bed rails too much, but ALL the manufacturers are doing that now for some kind of competition apparently. I also don't understand why late model trucks also have so much front overhang. None of my older trucks had that. Is this some kind of mandated crush zone?
My conclusion is that Toyota chose very complex lines to go with the complexity under the hood. Just a guess. Nissan keeps it simpler inside and out. Except they should offer the simple six speed manual to complete the formula.
Yeah the capstone tundra is crazy isn’t it! I’d say it is one of the most luxurious trucks I’ve ever driven tho. But I’d say the platinum or 1794 have everything I’d ever want for 5-8k less.
And I would agree the body is pretty busy. Toyota has said they were trying for a trophy truck styling. So it has the skinny body and wide fenders. And then all the body lines are probably Toyota just trying to make it look aggressive. I personally like the look but there’s a butt for every seat. That’s why there’s a million different flavors of car. 😁
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 That's a classic saying! My first stepfather employed me in his used car biz during my senior year, anything from detailing to engine work. I was spoiled and could drive anything I wanted on his lot to school or even to go 4 wheeling. He would sometimes get weird stuff in, and he always proclaimed there's a butt for every seat. He was right too.
My favorites were a TLC with a 327 swap, and a Mopar 4x4 with a 440.
Strange how that was 40 years ago and I remember it vividly.
Last night was a time warp too. Right next to that Tundra was the Chevy dealer body shop I worked at right out of high school. Man time just evaporates. That's when the Corvette C4 was brand new. They would not allow me to put my teenage hands on it.
@@jeanclaude7018 oh yeah there is in fact a butt for every seat. I’ve only been at the dealership a little over 6 years and I’ve seen some weird cars. Some come through and I say no one’s buying that and sure enough… someone comes and buys it😂 I’ve never been lucky enough to be able to take whatever I want home. That sounds like the dream😂. That’s crazy about the corvettes tho! We’re on the c8 now😂 I’ve always like the c3s and c6s!
Proud owner of a 2022 GMC Canyon here. Last V6 you can get from GM as they moved away from V6. When its time I will upgrade my truck, going to RAM only truck that still use V6 engines… well so far. Hope they don’t move away from it…..
Yeah I think they still sell their 3.6 but they don’t have the hemis anymore. Those were all replaced with straight 6 twin turbos. Could always find a clean used one when you’re ready too👍 thanks for watching
Yea the new hurricane engine inline 6 turbo. Not a V6 but at least its 6 cylinder engine. Not a fan of 4 cylinder trucks. Anyway very nice video
It's too expensive for what it is, and it's Butt Ugly, and it's a 4 banger. What's not to hate?
Don't forget the nasty Tesla screen pasted to the dash.
The ZR 2 Bison is rated at 16 mpg. I don't expect a truck to get great mileage but 16 mpg ?
Did I say 16😬 if I did I didn’t mean to. I actually have a whole video on gas mileage. I was getting in the 18s in that video. As it breaks in it’s getting better. I’m up to 19 now. And I drive it pretty fast
I won't be buying a 4 gen, I'll keep my 19 pro until the wheels fall off
I about bought a 23 pro in solar octane. Bad ass truck you have!
I test drove a 2024 yesterday. I will keep my 2022 SR5. I was not that impressed tbh
Auto or manual? I test drove the manual it was pretty nice
Auto
Why would you not keep a 2022 regardless? Why get rid of any Toyota before 10 years?
I thought the first five things were going to be price, price, price, price……….and price
lol nah just one of them. And it’s not even that it’s expensive (which it is) but just that they package things so you have to get stuff you don’t necessarily want. I will say tho, now that I’ve had the truck a few months, some of the stuff I didn’t want is actually kind of nice😂
My 2009 gets 17-18 city/hwy cost 26,400 For a 4x4 double cab sport and will last 300k miles.
I think they should bring back a base model Tacoma or t100 or something. Make it the size of the 2000 tacoma. Make it as base as possible. (Manual windows/ locks/ seats/ everything and sell it for like 25k
I purchased my 1st gen Tacoma 2004 reg cab 4x4 with auto and manual windows with bench seat in December 2004 for 18 k....just turned 108,000 miles😊
I also hate the lane protection feature where it jerks your steering wheel, super annoying
Yeah that can be super annoying. I really like it on the highway but not so much in town. You can turn it off tho👍
$15,000-$20,000 overpriced
If this were 2004 then you would be correct....
1:50 Remote starting usually just wastes gas. Idle 30 seconds max in typical weather.
The v4 turbo does not bother you?
Not even a little bit. Even if it doesn’t last quite as long the improved drivability is absolutely worth it. The 4cylinder and 8 speed are actually one of my favorite things about the truck. I also believe that toyota knows how to build a turbo motor. They built the 2jz which is one of the greatest turbo motors of all time. So it’s not new to them. So yeah I’m not worried about it👍😁
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 yea... many people are worried about that. Only time will tell
Yeah they are. You are right. Only time will tell👍
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 Does seem like you'll have to worry about it as it seems you will get a new truck in a couple of years.
My Five: 1. Plastic interior 2. No lockable fuel cap 3. Audio is leveled more to the front cab 4. Sun Visor rubs the headliner when you pull to the side. 5. Both USB connections in the console are for power. No data. You have to use the one on the side of the screen, and yes all the annoying warning tones.
Yeah! I was driving home today and It must have been the first time I tried to move my visor to the side. I moved it and it hit the headliner and I was like wtf??? What a weird design!!
And small fuel tank
@@kurtbeck5809 Oh yeah that too.
Am a Toyota guy and still have my 19 Tacoma TRD Sport which we bought new for 37K nicely optioned. Knocked around another Tacoma but ended up with a 23 Colorado ZR2 loaded for 53K. Toyota just priced me out for what they give you. Yes, Toyota reliability is worth something but I never keep a truck past 100K.
I’m not going to lie to you, I’m a toyota guy too, but those zr2s are definitely up there on my list. They are cool!
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 New Taco's won't go over 100k with them new Turbo engines.
Last year I bought my Toyota Tacoma trd 4x4 off road With 7 miles on it 42k out the door I tough I was paying too much but after seen videos about 24 Tacoma no way rather keep it
42k? Is that including registration fees, taxes and dealers fees?
I bought 2 6cyl 2023's last year when I learned about the 4 cyl BS that was coming out, no thanks.
I paid 44k for a 2024 4x4 TRD Off road. $2000 increase for a new model isn't all that much.
@@rickthomas422 Enjoy your 4 cyl engine when it grenades.
@@homerfry9234 I'm not real worried about it, but why be a jerk and wish that on someone?
It looks very....plastic.
There is a lot of plastic. I will say tho it is one of the better looking/ feeling plastic interiors I’ve sat in. You can spend 85k on a ford super duty and their interior is way worse😂
@counterfeitcowboy1362 That's true. As for pricing, I think it's comical that Toyota moved production to Mexico to improve efficiency and lower costs, and THIS IS THE RESULT.
Go figure...
Yeah. I mean I get that pricing goes up. And honestly it’s still comparable to the market depending on the trim. (Excluding the pro) but it still sucks that it went up, and that it went up so much😂
Also looks similar (outside) to a Chevrolet
The entire bed is plastic.
You don’t have to reboot the system if car play doesn’t connect when you remote start it. Just go to settings, Bluetooth, select your phone, connect to apple car play on the right side.
Yeah that’s the other thing that I do. Holding the power button is easier tho I think
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 it takes me 3-5 seconds to connect the phone by going to settings and Bluetooth since it is already paired. I’m sure rebooting the system take way longer
The long wheelbases on double-cabs ruin the breakover angle. XtraCabs seem hard to find.
The xtra cabs are super hard to find. They are actually the Same wheelbase tho. The difference is the xtracab has a longer bed, the double cab has a longer cab and a shorter bed. The only way you get a longer wheelbase if you get the double cab long bed. Then it’s a foot longer.
I think with that nickelback station you have on there you have bigger problems to worry about.
Bro it’s 2024. Didn’t you hear? It’s ok to like nickelback now😂
The gas tank complaint is for real. And I'm super thankful I did not get the power tailgate with mine. However, I will say, mine was optioned almost exactly how I wanted it. Don't feel like I got any extra junk.
That’s good! Sounds like you did good. What trim and color did you get?
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 I got the Underground, with white accent trim on the interior, which I think is my favorite unique thing about the interior. It's a 4x4 TRD Offroad, but I kept it pretty basic otherwise, with the exception of the upgraded dash and 14inch screen. Do wish I had the JBL sound, but I only paid 44k, leaving plenty of room for some custom sound upgrades.
You can turn off the seatbelt beeper. I hate it too, so I had the dealer remove it.
How did you do that?? My buddy bought a 13 dollar seat belt clicker thing that makes it think your seatbelt is on. I don’t love that tho😂
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 the dealer plugs a OBD II scanner into your car and hooks it up to their computer and they can change it. They can also limit it to 1 beep. Ask your dealer they should be able to help.
Try taking your truck through a car wash, the sensors go crazy thinking you’re gonna hit something. Highly annoying.
Oh yeah! You have to turn all that stuff off when you go through the car wash😂
For this kind of money there should be NO EXCUSES. PERIOD.
Sounds like a casino
That seatbelt beeper would make me rage. I wonder if it can be turned off with one of those carista things like the Tundra. Anyway, that truck is beautiful. The look of the new Tacoma is so great, and in Solar Octane, the greatest color ever. I'm jealous 😀
Oh it’s unbearable. Thank you! I love the color too!
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 The Carista app does allow you to turn off the seatbelt chimes. Pay $10 for a month of access to advanced settings and then you can probably cancel the subscription after you've made changes if you're not going to use all the other features. You also need a compatible OBD reader. Carista has theirs but it's a bit limited in it's compatibility with other vehicles. I have an OBDLink LX, which is more expensive but works with the Carista app as well as many other apps, for example one that works with my BMW motorcycle. Android user BTW so can't speak to how Apple works with these products.
As for the seatbelt chime, you can turn off each seatbelt individually, for example you can turn off just the front seats and leave the rear seatbelt chimes working. I was also able to change other settings, for example have the touch to change lanes turn signal function from 3 flashes to 4. Also turned off the fake engine sounds...
Way overpriced why would pay that much for a truck . Its ridiculous . You only want to drive it not live in it .
I found another thing to hate. Nickelback Radio. Enjoy the truck!
Oh don’t be a hater. It’s 2024 it’s ok to like nickelback now😉 thanks I really like the truck! And thanks for watching!
It does not matter what you say. I'm going to buy a Tacoma
Good! I said at the end of the video that I would still buy another one. I also have a video of 5 things I love about my Tacoma. This truck is an absolute blast! And I think you’ll like yours 👍
@@counterfeitcowboy1362 Thank you. I'm going to watch the other video...
Thank you for your support!
he complains about he price, then he says " i sell these things", so now I know he didn't pay full price like I would have to if I didn't work for the stealership. Cars cost more then my first house. Just say no!!! America
You paid $54k for that? 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s worth it
Your moms so much cheaper
That black wheel cladding is a no-go for me. Stuff never ages well
Here's two more things wrong with it: They took away two cylinders! 👎
Yea having 6 cylinders is cool. But to be honest I was not a fan of the previous powertrain. I would 1000% percent rather drive this new turbo 4. The power delivery is so much better. I just hope it lasts 300k miles. That’s all I ask😂

@@counterfeitcowboy1362 Thats exactly the difference, you HOPE it lasts, if you had the 6 cyl you KNOW it would last.

You forgot to include the 18 mpg it’s doing. lol that’s one more gallon per mile than my v6 Tacoma lol 😂
lol my 22 sr5 v6 got like 22mpg after about 10k miles. This one is still breaking in and it’s getting better. But I drive this one fast because it is actually fun to drive😂 I’m still getting about 19 in this one driving like that.
I have on and it's easy to get 20 mpg and easily 21 if you do a lot of interstate driving. I get 19.5 around town. But this Taco is really easy to hotdog around in because that turbo is addictive. But if you drive it at the acceleration of previous models you'll easily get 20.
@@rickthomas422 brother I’m here to tell ya. The temptation to hotdog is real…
The 2025 toyota camry is -$500 cheap from the 2024, make no sense on the tacoma 😄😄
That would have been cool on the Tacoma😂
Especially since they cut all kinds of corners, and all the cheap plastic
I think the seat belt alarm could play a Toyota jingle instead. The price increase is a little steep in my opinion, but it's a Toyota and we love them.
Anything other than what it does. I guess it works tho because I can’t go anywhere without my seatbelt buckled😂 but I do love this truck it is so good at what it does!
My tundra has a 38 gallon fuel tank and gets me about 550 miles of range ;) this Tacoma to me was a huge swing and a miss in almost all aspects…. I paid 45k for my 21 TRD sport crewmax tundra .
The price increase reflects all the improvements from the last generation yet even you as a salesman can seem to piece that together
I understand it and have to explain that to people daily. It doesn’t mean I have to like it
It goes away when you put your seatbelt on, That's a nice truck, That would be 64k here in NJ
Yeah. What’s the fun in that😂 thank you! I like it a lot! Come buy one in Utah for 10k less😂
Major negative is the price but buys it anyway?
Or you could spend 150,000 Canadian for a RAM TRX like mine 😂. Great video and I actually like the Tacoma but way underpowered for me .
Yeah you could😂 I’m excited to drive a hybrid Tacoma. It won’t have trx power but it has 15 less hp and 65 more ft lb of torque than Toyotas 5.7L v8. Idk about you but a taco with v8 power sounds like a blast to me😂
for the price you paid there should be no dislikes about the tacoma just wait for the recalls to come WTF

On previous models, the seatbelt chime could be coded out with techstream. Also, dual climate control was never standard on a tacoma, ever.

Theres only 1 thing i don't like after driving one. It feels so cheap on the interior compared to 3rd gen. It has more tech but feels so chinsy inside.
I don't know why, but this depends on the model somehow. I have a TRD Offroad and I love the interior. But the first dealer I went to would only let me drive a cheaper model and I hated the interior. I don't agree that it feels cheaper than the 3rd gen at all though. Fit and finish on mine is tight, and a lot better than my 2015 Tundra.
You should have bought a ZR2. More bang for the buck
Ya know what’s crazy. I’m not a Chevy guy but I really do like those zr2s. They are definitely my second favorite.
OEM Bilsteins on Toyota/Lexus are great for high speed on and off ramps...otherwise not so much. Way to stiff.
Yeah I’ve noticed that… it seems like it might actually jump ok… but the majority of the little stuff is just so stiff!!!
Raw plastic fender flares are very cheap and tacky looking, especially on a rig at that price
Honestly I’d rather the raw plastic, the pro has gloss black flare. They look cool but they are going to get scratched really bad. And the TRD offroads have had raw plastic fenders since 2016
That bed is so short !! What’s the point of having a pickup lol
You should watch my payload video. I got 25 bales of hay in that little fella😂
I felt this way for years. But I have a Tundra also, so wasn't real worried about it on the Taco. HOWEVER, I find this bed to be extremely functional for camping and mountain biking. It's just easier to use when I don't need a massive bed. So much easier to get stuff in and out of.
Make Tacoma great again!!
4 banger, overpriced, and assembled in Mexico, three strikes and Tacoma's out!
Toyota needs to bring back the 4.0 liter V6 with the duel climate control. And definitely lower the price.
I keep saying they should give us a 2004 double cab sized truck and just make is as basic as possible. Roll up windows. Manual door locks etc. they could call it the t100 and price it at like 23k
55-56k is the starting price of a Ranger Raptor (If its not marked up). But still - its what you're getting for the money at 60k. Having to spend that money.. only to spend more on Suspension tires and wheels.. at 60k??? Come on man.
