- Today I get to review one of the first 4th Gen TRD Pro Tacomas to hit the dealership lots in Southern California.. It has several aftermarket accessories from Westcott Designs and is also lifted! But the price tag may shock you especially if you plan to finance! Check it out!!

$83k but after its paid off gonna be worth less than $40k used. People please stay away from paying this ridiculous markup.
@@MrCovert23 also curious how the hybrid battery lifespan impacts the resale value??
Unfortunately there is paying that
Found 3 FULLY LOADED ones in Nebraska, all were under 69k. Quit making up stuff
It’s actually the opposite, it’ll keep its value like they always do. People never want to buy old Colorado’s or Ranger. There’s is always a high demand for Tacoma’s
@@leoramos3482 There always (*used) to be a high demand for Tacoma's, *in the past.
It’s INSANELY!!! High plus interest NO THANK YOU!! I will keep my 3Gen.
Same! 🤙🏼
by the time you’re done paying you’re looking at 120k with interest SMH
What the hell has happened to us consumers.....why...people would buy this at this price.
@@lucasr5675 seeing the price tag in person was really crazy… I said it in my previous videos about the pro and trailhunter being $100 grand at dealerships after markups and fees… but actually seeing it was pretty wild.. and alittle overwhelming. I felt extremely nervous driving that truck.
Social media are the reason why these people are willing to buy these highly price tool/toy.
90k with markups for TRD Pro in my area SMH
@@Evenflow-us1py crazy..
Inflation, descent economy, people making more money, dumb people getting in debt.
I paid brand new $42800 for my 2019 Trdpro Tacoma voodoo blue M/T 💙 I currently have 38K miles and I'll never get rid of my reliable 3rd gen Trdpro
thats the best color
@awpel2 For sure! Could you imagine the prices if they offered the Voodoo Blue color 🤔 😳
The voodoo blue is amazing in person. I’m from SoCal and once in a while I see a pro like yours. 😎👍🏻
In no universe does a $80k mid size truck make sense. Screw this dealer.
I saw this coming at some dealerships… but actually seeing it was really crazy🤯
$83K! My prediction… most TRD Pro buyers are younger and will bite the bullet to get their hands on one. Those first few months will be exciting, but when that $1500 a month payment keeps hitting them it’ll wear off fast. Shame on Toyota.
Will be an expensive mistake…
Especially when their friends have to sit sideways in the backseat… 😂
1,500 plus insurance and gas looking at $2,200 a month or more
@@astro54541 or their girl friends 😂
@@astro54541haha good one 😂 them shock absorbers take away a lot of space that the new taco never had
Hate the rack, the side steps, the short bed, the price, and the expectations from dealers. I like the color black and I will keep my 3rd gen that I just bought last year.
Keeping my paid off 22 Tacoma 4X4, routine maintenance will run for decades.
I have a 21 black TRD pro. Honestly side by side. I like my 3rd gen so much better. I wouldn't even trade for the 24 pro straight up if they offered. I simply don't like the 4th gen tacoma at all. It's not rugged, poorly built, ugly, and expensive.
WOW that's a lot of money for a SCRAPOTA!!!!!
I say 2024 chevy Colorado ZR2 is the way to go.. for around 52k your getting a fully loaded one and I feel it gives you 85-90% of what this truck offers at a much better price point.
The EPA and greed has screwed the truck industry.
Or you can Save that $1K a month and in 7 years you’ll have enough money for a nice rental property that brings in money every month.
Buying a TRD PRO at that price and then messing with the suspension, obviously miles on the vehicle to and from West Scott, customers, and employees driving this thing.🙄
$112,000+ like the gentleman said is insane!!!!
For a new platform that still has to work out the recalls.
Great job bud! 👍
I have a 2022 Tacoma TRD Pro that I bought brand new and is completely paid for. I wouldn’t trade it for 3 of these!
Wouldn’t trade my 3rd Gen either🤙🏼
Have a 3rd gen sr5 4x4.. just bought a loaded trd o.f.. 50k out the door. There’s no need for this trd pro. But if there was one for 60k out the door I woulda pulled the trigger on that but I’m dreaming 🤣.. love my third gen. But this 4th gen is just superior in my opinion..
Absolutely ridiculous price. Most new Tacoma’s and Tundra’s will riot on the dealership lots.
oh no, not a fight in the parking lot!
$83k is a joke. Even $66k is insane. $17k in add-ons? No thanks. Toyota is way too proud, and I will gladly pass. Unfortunately, some fool will buy it and Toyota/dealerships will get what they want.
25k markup in my area SMFH almost 100k for a TRD Pro
@@Evenflow-us1pyUnreal! I love Toyota trucks but there is no way.
Again its probably 1% of the population that will buy it. If others finance it I'll probably say they are just trying to buy into the trend and be apart of the hype. I am not hating on the 4 banger turbo hybrid I drive a Toyota Camry Hydrid XLE and a Lexus NX200t Turbo so I get the feel. When you have a Hybrid you get more torque so I notice that and for the Lexus Turbo I'm assuming thats whats in the '24 TRD Pro I feel the turbo. Anyway good for those who can afford it but that will push away your more average consumer of purchasing this TRD Pro. Glad I got mine when I did a '23 Taco TRDPro MT. Good review
I have a a 23" pro M/T and i love it the sound of the NA 3.5 v6 actually sounds quite aggressive and the bump with a good dip omg it feel likes like falling into a memory foam pillow Pure Heaven this truck is....... i was debating last year and i now know i made the right decision.
@@StevePesh91 I have a 2023 TRD pro in Solar Octane not my color but it has grown on me. Yes mine is a Manual Transmission the way I like it.
We buy cars new cash in full. The Lexus dealer told us 30% of people buy cars with cash... ie more than some people might imagine...
Bidenomics for you bro , keep on voting Democrat and this is what you going to pay!
@@JohnC-yz5co hopefully that all changes come January!
MSRP is 66k, add-ons don’t mean nothing. Once you drive away from the lot it depreciates value. Not a good investment. Once you try to sell it back they will offer you 45-55k back.
@@kaygeeboi 100%
I can’t believe people will pay that price for a truck with an unusable back seat!
The interest rates are crazy high! I purchased a 23 tundra TRD pro last year and saved for years to purchase it out right. If you can’t write a check for it you can’t afford it!
Well said! 👍🏼
@@westcoasttaco Great video! I would like to drive one just to see the power difference between the Tacoma and Tundra.
keep looking around people , I was able to score a Trail Hunter at South Bay Toyota. They call me and told me it was available and they have no marl up. Good dealers are still out there , let the shady dealerships with bad business practices rot
This truck stuff has gone wild! Can't even imagine how any normal everyday person would even remotely consider this level of money. INSANE!
Same.. untouchable for the majority and most of the majority don’t even want to touch the new gen’s..
Watching inside my 2023 trd pro Tacoma. Paid off in 6 months. Cost me $52,800. Here to the next 25 years of keeping it
This truck really made me appreciate the 3rd Gen’s..
@@westcoasttaco think I was smart to get the pro over the offroad or sport? For third he.
@@appleztooranges I would agree. The only reason I went with the off-road was because I wanted the 6 foot bed.. I’m super happy with it and glad that I got the advanced tech and premium packages. However, there’s no denying that the pros will hold their value the best.👍🏼🤙🏼
so glad I grabbed a 2023 trail edition , cash down, while I could. No way I could afford a 2024 trd pro, and its still too new, untested.
Buying the Nissan Frontier Pro 4x is better, hell....even upgrading that to the Forsberg edition is still cheaper than this tacoma and more reliable with the aspirated engine. Nissan eating up all the customers that are bailing from Toyota.
Fools and their money are soon parted. Problem is, there are plenty of idiots out there who will pay these stupid prices for the newest gizmos. Keeping my fully loaded 21 off-road that I got out the door for $40k
$83,000?! What type drugs they're on?! Add Interest, Sales Tax, Insurance, and me living in Missouri, property taxes. NOBODY ISN'T PAYING $110,000-PLUS FOR A TRUCK! Everyone isn't rich.😮
Wait another 2 years for this "honeymoon" pricing to drop. You've waited 8 years for this new Taco; 2 more years won't be that bad, especially since your 3rd Gen will run for another 10.
There are still FOOLS out there who pay this ridiculous prices! In my opinion they are not even worth what the 3rd gen pros cost last year new!!Thanks for the video
I can’t even imagine walking away with those keys… I was having buyers remorse just thinking about it the cost of the truck..
When I bought my loaded 23 TRD Off Road I paid almost as much as I did for my first house. I’ll never pay more for a vehicle than what I paid for my first house.
a word of caution, my friends......a lot of positive comments on the terrible tacomas for 2024 come from toyota dealers and their salesmen posing as "interested customers". toyota is getting pretty desperate.
F150 Raptor, Ranger Raptor, Ram RHO should all be considered when looking at something this expensive
@@AutoEnthusiastJC agreed 👍🏼
Omg for a 4cl tacoma ridiculous price with that money I will buy f-150 Raptor stupid Tacoma guys.
I'm a Toyota fan but for $60,000 I would buy a Ranger Raptor or a full size V8 truck!
Full size truck for sure… could get a new Silverado for almost half of the finance option of..
Colorado ZR2 Bison will walk all over this thing for $20k less.
@@Holden-McGroin you could get a ranger raptor for less than this
So glad I got my 2017 Frontier Pro-4X. Upgraded to Nismo suspension and air intakes. Even after mods, so much cheaper.
And to think the 44k tag on my 23 OR made my skin crawl… lol. Awesome that you got to drive one! Makes sense they would send one to Temecula. No shortage of money there. There are people that spend 100k like we spend $100. That’s who Toyota is marketing to. When the hype wears off it’ll come down a little. Still way out of touch for most of us. Either way these trucks need a few years to work out the inevitable issues
@@James-yv8nm yeah the experience of driving it was pretty crazy… I was actually shocked that They just gave me the keys and said “take it for a spin”.. especially since they just got it and it was their first pro.. I was super nervous driving a $100k truck.. not gonna lie🤣
@@westcoasttacowere they aware you were going to video review it?
@@efil4kizum no, I was stunned they gave me the keys to test drive it without anyone going with me🤣!
The MSRP on my 23 TRD OR, double cab 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs was $49K and change. I paid $48K and the running boards, Trifold tonneau cover , life time oil changes and an 8 year 75K mile bumper to bumper warranty was included. Today on Kelly Blue Book, my truck is worth $51,848.
I drive 6-8K miles per year and I’m almost 60 years old. I plan on driving my 23 TRD until I die.
I’m sure after my death my wife will still be using it to plow the 5-7 feet of snow off of our private road and driveway every winter
@@westcoasttaco W@W!
The price is ridiculous, but this all black one looks insane! Kinda want to get one and slap a Statler Toyota decal on it.
If you can’t afford it in 60 months or in cash, you should not be buying any type of vehicle. Hell no this is not worth $65k plus taxes!
Even at MSRP, the price is too high. Forget any amount of markup.
You know what's even crazier? A pre owned 2020, 21, 22, 23 trd pro costs insane money....with 40k 50k miles!! And interest rates on the pre owned are wacked too.
This world is sad sad sad . Nothing is attainable anymore!
Homes. Cars. Jobs. Gas. Food. Health care!
I'll keep my second GEN Tacoma! Looking forward to see how Toyota Tacoma sales will drop down. Prices are non sense!
Makes me appreciate my 22 TRD OR 4x4 double cab automatic, just that much more!!! I think I’m good right where I am…
Same! I’m never getting rid of mine.. I see a lot of future problems and poor resale value for these 4G Tacos.
This is another thing I learned on CZcams the one guy is called the Chevrolet guy he worked at a big Chevrolet dealership and now he has his own car lock and like he tells you things to do and what to do when you’re buying a car from a dealership that they knew how to get over on you And there’s this other channel that I watch because I just bought a third GEN Tacoma so like I rewatch some videos before I went to go get the truck did they tell you you never tell them how much money you have or how much you want to put down and never tell them how much you want your payment to be because they can work numbers and make you in the paying more for the vehicle they can add things on to year your bill when you go in to get the truck and have them run your credit or whatever credit ran already you tell them you want the total out the door price when you have a credit score like that you don’t need to put that money down but if you do put money down you get the out the door price I’m a look up the video the guy was a car sakesmen for 40 years he helps you out makes videos all the time about things going on with what
I had to take a shot every time you said “what a trip”
I’ll keep driving my 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs.
Pretty common truck. 😂
@@ryanb8736 Yep and after saving the money on a fixed income for 9 years, I’m glad it’s all mine and I’ll be driving it until I die
They need a trd pro with no options! Like the land cruiser 1959 model.
No leather. No bullshit shock seats. No moonroof. Cut options. Bare bones trim trd
🤦🏿♂️83k for a mid 4 banger is crazy! Y’all can’t be this loyal to Toyota
What the narrator said about not getting into a vehicle with such a high price tag is very true. However, in this day and age EVERYTHING is much higher than it should be.
I need a truck, but not the highest price/ best equipped/ best modded. Don’t want the cheapest, but don’t want the most expensive.
Feel like my Dodge is way overpriced, but it works for me. Better than the competition in its category. Wanted a diesel, but geez!!!🙄 Ford’s Super Duty’s are more Doodie 💩 than Super now a days with all the cheap parts.
Dodge wanted $82k for a diesel work truck. No center console (had a jump seat), small flip phone-sized radio screen, and cloth seats. Hell no!!!
Not super crazy about Chevy truck grille design. Not horrible, but not in love with it.
Also, not big on these turbo’s. Too many issues. Speaking from my 8yrs of EcoBoost ownership. It’s got power. Can easily be made to have more than it came with. However, not impressed with the blow-by issues… oil in intercooler and plug fouling.
Anyway… I’ll stick with my Hemi.
I paid 60 for a 2500 gasser Chevy…and yes, that was the low Custom trim 4/4…
@ 8:50.. you can adjust the recline from the manual ever. It doesn't move much, but it does recline.
That’s a No for me, I bought a 22 Off Road M/T new for 38 with a 1.9% apr so glad I didn’t wait for the 4th gen like I was going to
Same here! Really glad I went with my 3rd gen as well!
$85k -$90k minimum out the door….. For a 2 passenger Tacoma. You got me Fu*ked up, and I’m far from Broke 😂
🤣
and 8% apr with Tier One credit 😂
$1,500 a month payment SMFH
Im a Toyota fan but I’m going to look for a nice used 3rd gen Taco TRD OffRoad. The price is ridiculous!!
83K for a midsize truck what a joke Toyota is the extra cost because of the metal shavings in the motor
About 1700 a month for 72 months. That's without insurance maint and gas.
Yep…
Toyota is insane. Nobody with any commonsense is going to pay $83,000 for this truck. New solid-state batteries are coming out that make electric trucks better than gas trucks and hybrid trucks like this one. Toyota is going to be destroyed if they don't adjust to this new reality.
I love the 14 inch Monitor for the stereo GPS and The rest of the great things it comes with stinger Mesa head unit for the third GEN I’m gonna grab one of those power mode off on my check out the Alpine to check out the 70s alpine stinger supposedly the stinger wasn’t made to fit Tacoma thev10 inch and you can hook up 4 cameras to the stinger head unit 10 inch
Fuck that. You could buy a 3rd gen truck and a nice sports car for the price of this.
Or get a Ranger Raptor and save $25k. Insane.
A massive down payment for a house.. depending on where you live.
No the price is not “substantial “, its down right stupid. The purchase price alone is outrageous, never mind the dealer markups and total cost over 72 months.
Sticking with my 2021 Lunar Rock TRD Pro Tacoma. No thanks. Good grief, my dealership wants my 21 Taco Pro for $47K right now. Not selling.
@@ElChupahuahua keep it for life! 👍🏼
It's nice but not $80k plus nice :). Heck-$20k will barely pay for the Wescott gear :). I'll keep my 2023 Taco PRO paid $51k with $15k down.
Dude that wescott lift costls like 500 dollars probably 1500 installed tops where are they getting a 12k markup? what a scam
Funny how that works?? I was wondering the same thing… probably 5k for just the tires🤣
If a person can't pay cash it means they can't afford it. Pick something different. To be fair the new Tacoma is now on the Landcruiser 300 platform like all the TNGAF Toyotas. Something to consider when justifying the price...
Can’t justify cost. Please stop it.
I don’t care how nice it feels or looks or whatever… it will NEVER feel good to pay for that!
100000%… seeing the final price tag and potential interest on a finance really takes the wind out of the sails..
The Toyota Stop and Start system will shut off your engine momentarily and put it into standby mode when your vehicles come to a complete stop at a red light. When you turn off the engine, it will decrease the emission and increase the MPG.
We think the same when it comes to these trucks. I’ve done just about the same upgrades to my ‘23 pro as you have to yours. I appreciate the content you put out and the knowledge on your channel. These new ones just don’t have the appeal like the previous generation and my pockets aren’t deep enough to be the butt of Toyotas new joke.
@@jabjk1 thank you!👍🏼🤙🏼
That backseat though lol
That ford raptor ranger is looking good rite now. 55k. If you can get one at msrp
That is so insanely crazy. I will never pay not even 45k for a truck
If they strapped a badge on it that said overland you can get 93 grand for it easy
@@daviddecker8421 🤣
It has larger wheels, but the wider fender flares make the wheels look sunken in.
IDK but I think this generation of midsize trucks it looks like the ranger raptor is king. There is no way in hell I will spend 80k for a midsize truck. I would put that money on a RHO or raptor. That is just stupid asking that
So awesome they still put a v6 in the Ranger raptor.. has a turbo but at least they put a 6 cylinder in it. 👍🏼
@@westcoasttaco the RR has a 3.0 twin turbo but now you can option regular Rangers with the 2.7 twin turbo cylinder. The 2.3L 4 cylinder is the base engine. Ford is finally doing what customers asked for.
@@Tony-hf9mv beautiful
It's hilarious how this OVERPRICED little truck is announced as such a hidden gem....lol thanks but no thanks.
83K + dollars for a 4 cylinder truck...... are ya'll fu****ng crazy.
@@oscarposada6144 91k after taxes and fees.. 112k if you finance for 72 months. Can’t believe it… more expensive than a fully loaded tundra capstone!
@westcoasttaco I will admit that the trd pro taco is a good looking truck and I'm sure it's very capable, but it's just too expensive. Oh by the way I have your lift kit on my 2021 4runner. It's solid. It actually drives better with your lift kit. Thank you.
@@oscarposada6144 sweet 👍🏼, glad it worked out.
@Toyota what you guys been smoking behind the scenes?
Nobody with common sense is gona pay that much for a taco, + you should have added a front locker instead of wasting engineering resources & capital on those ridiculous seats! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME & MONEY!
Made in Mexico 4 banger crap! $50 g max is what it should be
Let me get this straight. 83k for a 4 banger? Lmfao...
$91k after taxes and fees… that’s cash.. financing gets you up to 112,000k.
The trucks looks amazing but 83K hell to the NO!
Let them sit price will drop.Awesome vid perfect info, Cheers!
Dude that is crazy way way too much money for truck what Toyota are doing is crazy
No one will buy cars with that high price a year later will cost half of that money
Toyota needs to drop the crack pipe !!!
That back seat makes this truck ridiculous for the price tag.
That price tag makes the truck look ridiculous even if the backseat was super spacious.. literally a capstone tundra is less..
Na Longo was the first sold the same day it arrived AT MSRP no mark up.....anyone paying 100k for these trucks are a problem. Temecula Toyota is a joke and anyone working for that dealership....smh.
You use to be able to buy 3 tacos for that
And.. it's made with dirt cheap labor down in Mexico. Here's what I think about those prices - 🖕🖕
Is a stiff and bumpy ride common with the Westcott lift?
It seems to be common when adding a collar or block that the ride becomes more stiff. It was my first time driving a TRD pro with that setup.. the last TRD pro I drove was a 3rd gen and the ride felt smoother.. that was just me though.
From what I have read, yes. They add preload to the spring, and of course you end up losing some caster due to the increased ride height, so it does become stiffer. Most cheap lifts will make the ride a bit worse, to be fair.
@@keon8625 yep, was definitely feeling it.
A full sized GMC Denali with a diesel is cheaper than this. Frickin insane. Way to go Toyota🖕
You could get a tundra capstone with that price. An extra 5k gets you a tundra trd pro for 85k
Imo the review should have stopped at the price tag. Whatever comes after that will never justify an 80+ thousand dollar midsize. Even full sized trucks are overpriced at that point. Taxes and interest will definitely put this above 100K. You cant even fit anyone in the back seat! Lets not even get into the power train issues they've been having on these newer iforce engines. Consumers need to send a message that these things will not move at these prices
Honestly it was pretty hard to drive the truck knowing how much they were asking for it.. sucks the fun out of trying something new when you know that it’s a total rip off.
@@westcoasttaco yeah I bet. Shame. Looks like a cool truck but not anywhere near that price
Shock absorber seats c’mon now really? Overkill 😂. Back seat passenger space is much smaller than 3rd gens 😂
@ 16:56 do you think they would do a quarter-ton? Hehe
That’s a great deal compared to others in its class.
Almost double.. if you finance.
Why in the world would they put a lift on a Pro? That defeats the whole purpose of getting a Pro. If you want a lift, just get an off road model and then add the lift.
I’m guessing for more tire clearance?? And another way to add more “mark up”..
@@westcoasttaco I think you’re right. But the setup they did would keep me from buying the truck. You lose the performance that you get with a Pro when you do what they did.
@@HowAboutThat224 yeah I drove a 3rd gen pro about a year ago and it felt way better in regards to the suspension then this did.. crazy
The sales numbers will drop because of price. People will buy the truck and have it repossessed. People will buy the truck and be truck poor. All are bad news for Toyota. Kind of the story with all midsize truck manufacturers; Toyota just seems to have gone overboard on price and letting their distributors add crap at huge profit margins. I hope Toyota changes but I bought a Maverick and it is working for me and my monthly payment is 400/month with 10k down (60 months)
It blows me away people are paying these prices right now.. can’t even imagine the thought of losing so much money right off of the bat.. and then having a +\- $1,500.00 monthly payment.
If to spend a lot of money on these truck, might as well swap the engine with a new V6 powerplant.
I paid 71500 out the door i love mine this one you reviewed is hideous tbh with all the addons
This car is not even worth $50k
Unless you have a huge cash deposit or a very healthy trade in forget about it. The average person will put themselves in the poor house real quick. Keeping my paid off 22 Tacoma 4X4 with only 10850 miles for a long time it will probably outlive me 😮. Thing is with this kind of insane pricing the repo man will be busy. This is a rich mans toy, or a very foolish persons. 😮😮
Definitely not a wise purchase in my opinion. Holding the 3rd Gen as well!👍🏼
Such a shame what Toyota did with these prices I really wanted to upgrade my 2020 Off Road this year but I refuse to pay these prices. Just not worth it sorry just isn't
Fools and their money are soon parted. 9% interest if financed? There are idiots out there who will pay this much for these 4 banger spoolers. Just idiotic. I’ll keep my 2021 fully loaded off-road long bed I walked out the door with for $41k…. Just a hard NO.
Same.. long live the 3rd Gen’s. 🤙🏼
