I was just explaining that to my gf, basic for 50k or pay 10k more and get the trd offroad premium.. anything basic should be 30-35k
I'm a Toyota guy but let them ROT! crazy prices and mark ups. Dealers need to learn the hard way people!
Same here my friend!
My old Tundra will be my last....as I am not a rich nor foolish man.
It's also fugly, imo
Me too. I’m sick of the games. I passed on a Lexus NX in favor of a Tesla model Y after trying to get the NX for over a year without success and even if I could get it, $5k worth of BS markups.
Toyota do away with dealerships and allow customers to buy directly through them. Eliminate the middleman. Like Tesla.
Dealerships wouldn’t be charging these markups if people would stop paying them
yeah but people are stupid. It's just like pay to play football/baseball games. ;If people would stop signing up the games would all be free again.
That's what happens whenever you got more $$$ than common sense 😂😅,.....
A large portion of the economy is basically stupid people making bad decisions with money. Low rates and covid money just made people go completely insane.
We are through the gov bailouts
Short answer? NO!
Long answer? HELL NO!!
I'm also hearing about engine reliability issues. The Tacoma somewhat, but the Tundra a lot. Meanwhile you can get an older Toyota that will run until the end of time for much less money. Maybe I'll just hang on to my old Tundra for a few more years yet.
Thry lost their mind selling worse trucks than ever for highest price ever. The auto industry sees us all as fools who need to be parted from our money
Some of us are not willing to go deep into debt to have a shiny new truck. Guess Ill keep fixing up my old junk.
Trucks don't wear out, men only get tired of firing them.
I'll keep fixing mine!

50k, at 7 percent interest, for 60 months, puts your payment at like 900 bucks. BEFORE INSURANCE. So over a grand a month. For a basic truck. NO WAY.
It’s funny I just sat here and I did all the math and then I want to go into comments to say that’s over like 900 bucks a month you beat me to the punch and no I would not pay that forthat little truck… that’s fucking stupid…
Now 9% interest
@@Chef-vg4pu While I agree the price is not worth it but Tacomas are actually bigger than they use to. I'd rather them be the same size as they use to.
Current avg. new car payment is over $700.00. Almost 20% of new vehicle loans feature a payment of $1,000.00 per mo or more. Quite a few people are making some really bad financial decisions. Average buyer with a trade is over $6,000.00 underwater.
Better put a serious down payment on that.
Can’t sell them but still have market adjustments? Screw all of them.
I turned 18 in 1972 and bought my first car. A new Chevy Impala for $2,400. My fist house (3bed,2 bath) for $27,000. Things seemed a little more in sync with real life back then. Today's prices are crazy.

Price is outrageous but moving away from a V6 to a turbo 4 cylinder isn't something I would want.
Thats right,I"ve got a 2012 v6 rav4,great,simple engine,265 hp-FAST!
Yes, it’s like putting a 9.9 hp outboard motor on a boat that’s rated for 15 hp. You’re going to be flooring it more and besides, the turbo has a lot more thermal stress under the hood. It’s just not going to last like a non-turbo V6. Personally, I would love to get a small V8.
That's what I thought also....until I drove the new Ford Ranger with a 4cyl. ecoboost. 270HP. It totally shocked me how much pickup speed it had. Now you can get the V6 Ecoboost with 315HP. That is way more HP and torque than you would need unless you were trying to tow an RV thru the mountains or something.
Small over worked turbo engines don't last very long.
I got a 06 v6 4.0 with 250,000 still runs great no mechanical problems some electrical you won’t find a 4 banger like that they can’t take the strain and yes I know the 22r was the little engine that did but they don’t make it anymore but they even had overheating problems 🤷🏻♂️
Best thing to do at that dealership, is Drive off the lot with your old vehicle.
Do not EVER do business with a Dealership that has " Dealership Markup Fees" ! Ever ! If you want to, tell the salesperson Why you are not buying from them.
These places make me want to stay there and tell anyone else dumb enough that comes to buy a vehicle to go someplace else .
It's incredible these thieves stay in business.
It's not just the markups like the $3995 on this Tacoma that people should refuse to pay, but the out of control "doc fees" that dealers are adding on to boost their profits. People finally realized years ago not to pay for add-ons like rustproofing or paint protection, but now they throw away hundreds just to have a dealer write up a sales order or process paperwork for a loan? F*** that shit!
They stay in business because of 1. Toyota only zealots. 2. stupid consumers, they either pay those stupid dealer add on's or the dealer takes off the "market adjustment" and they end up paying full sticker thinking they got a deal.
In 2021 the day before the auto shortage due to chips, we got us a 2021 Corolla for 16 grand.
STEALERSHIP
I bought my truck, 1998 Isuzu Hombre, August 1998. It had 13 miles on it when I left the lot for $13,680. Drove it 23 yrs still running great
Oh wow...thx. because we all asked😂
Most truck buyers are mechanically inclined and don’t want a high strung turbo 4 cylinder.
I typically keep my vehicles way past 200k miles to get my moneys worth.
And they don’t get that much better gas mileage to justify the complexity.
It just means they will break down more, for like you said not even saving much gas. Stupid.
Car manufacturers keep producing vehicles that we cannot afford
Which sell, then they make more, which sell, then they make more...
@@greeneyesms LMFAO Did you not watch this video???
@@greeneyesmsNot really. His video shows that.
The plan is to make personal transportation a luxury of the rich again. By price inflation and environmental over-regulation. They want the plebs walking or riding the bus, so they can keep an eye on us.
That's because "we" are not the target customers.
Crazy how prices have gone so high! 50k 4Runners and 70K Sequoias in what world does that make "ANY" sense!
Well, the ministry of truth say inflation is down and the economy is booming..
And now they are coming with a 2.4 liter four cylinder engine in a 4X4. I bought my 2020 TRD Sport 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. It has an actual power plant (V6 pushing 289 hp -stock). I paid just over $37K and wouldn’t take that now if someone offered it to me. I absolutely LOVE my Tacoma and have never regretted buying it.
Why did you put any in quotations 💀
In a world where your government is printing up 1 trillion dollars every three months…………not a Toyota problem a fiat curre problem
These pickups are only 20 ounces of gold or .8 btc for the hard curr holders in the world
@@aeromedical6776 My cousin has the 2018 TRD. Best pick-up he's had, and he owned F150's and Frontiers. Frontiers are close to Tacomas, and I doubt he's crazy enough to spend 50K on a Tacoma. He knows where he can buy 3 of them for years 2016 - 2020, in top shape., at that price.
Add another 10 G for the TRD package. $10,000 for turning shiny parts into flat-black parts and plastering a decal that is one letter away from spelling turd on the side. Plus, they're doing away with the venerable 3.5L and going to a turbo 4cyl that will last half as long as the proven 3.5L
Agreed, I want no part of a turbo.
@@HocusPocus6969 or a 4 cyl. engine especially if you are towing..no thanks !
$1400 in doc fees is outrageous. Especially when you consider that it's totally unnecessary and a cash grab by the dealership. And that's literally what the market adjustment also is. And it's not like the dealership wouldn't make money by eliminating these fees. They'd still make a profit without them. Unreal.
Buying a car in Virginia is the worst! There aren’t any laws in Virginia that limits how much a dealer can charge for a doc fee. They can literally make it 100% of the car’s MSRP and no one can stop them. Maryland is located right above Virginia and it’s a night and day experience. Maryland has a lot of consumer protection laws, including a law that prohibits dealers from charging more than $500 in doc fees.
When I see an additional markup, I WALK!
💯
I don’t see the problem, since you can do a $4000 market adjustment on your trade-in… right? ;-)
@@epbrown01 Why give the market adjustment to the dealer? It's your money, not the dealers.
Even if you are correct regarding your trade-in adjustment, and I saw no reference to that adjustment, $4K-$4K = ZERO for you. I would never pay MSRP for any vehicle.
@@epbrown01
Don’t forget the $1,600 administrative fee you charge to write/sign a check. If they want to be reimbursed for their administrative costs to sell a vehicle, then they should expect buyers to be reimbursed for our administrative costs to purchase a vehicle. Checks don’t write themselves, cash doesn’t magically appear in buyers pockets, bank financing didn’t just happen without any effort.
They still doing additional markups these days? 😂
Hahahaha no way in hell I'd pay that
Same here, it’s disgusting!!

Got my 2016 with 80.000 miles last year for $18K and could not be happier
Whatever happened to "keep it simple" a nice work truck, steel wheels, crank windows, no frills
Can't roll the window down with a cell phone in your hand and with basic mechanical knowledge you can fix it yourself. No money in that.
Single cab, useful bed.
The people that need them still have them. My 2000 Ranger hauls everything I need it to for my business. I paid $4,500 for it and I have had it for 14 years. So that is $321/ year. To buy a new truck from a dealer for $50,000 you would have to somehow keep it for 155 years to get the same rate that I pay.
This new stuff is for people who like to think they are smart for buying something with a "high resale value".
Yeah, I know, they are out there, so for one, it's called a (Toyota) HiLux, but sadly not available in the USA.
Sadly, the brand new truck is a status symbol for most people! And they can put in on social media for a bunch of "likes" and call themselves "content creators" That status symbol can cost up to $1000 dollars a month.
My brother had cash in hand to purchase his dream Tacoma 4x4.The dealer wouldn't budge on the "market adjustment."
4 weeks in, and he's loving his new FRONTIER.$1,200 OFF sticker.
He chose... wisely.
He should have waited 4 weeks, because at least where I live, they're are some decent discounts going on right now. All at least $2000 under TSRP to start.
Great truck! I am still driving my 2001 Xterra which is a Frontier with an SUV body.
Twice I've been shopping for a new vehicle and told the dealer the starting point was MSRP - if they mention the dealer greed tax even once I walk. And I did. Luckily when you're shopping for something common like a yota (or my last one, a Silverado) there is always another dealer just down the road. A little harder when I'm shopping for a Rover or Alfa like I used to - at that point they know they are the only option and can stick to their guns more.
@@donhappel9566 I've owned 4 Toyotas and I walk if they don't upfront OFFER $2000 off of MSRP. There is always a deal to be found on a Toyota regardless of the model. There are like 5 dealerships in every city.

Bought a new V6 Off Road 4x4 with (manual trans, LED's, tow pkg, + extras), in August of 2022. $38,500 + tax & tag. NO dealer markup. Pull a small camper thru the hills & mountains of GA, NC, TN with NO Problem. I figured the V6 would be replaced sooner than later. Been a great small truck with a smooth ride due to upgraded shocks. Bought with cash.
Hard pass! $50k for a truck that can't really pull a decent travel trailer. No thank you!

Former Cherokee owner here. 250k and that straight 6 blows. Very few exceptions to this rule
I'm in Lynchburg VA and I know exactly what dealership that your at!! This place has been a rip off for years!!

Looks like it was designed by Hot Wheels.

I'd buy a 2020 or 2021 tacoma over this thing.
I like the exterior and interior of the new Tacoma. I hate the drivetrain and the msrp. Less cylinders for more money. Anything over $32k for this is a ripoff. How can you pay $46k plus for this and not feel absolute robbed driving off the lot. Yea, no thanks, hard pass.

I'm presently driving a used 2006 T0Y0TA Avalon "Limited" with just over the 100K on it ... !
Loved my 1967 chevy CST that had a 327 in it. Co8l over suspension, factory bucket seats and then a set of radial truck tires and it rode like a dream. Bought it used in 1986 for $1300 and drove it for 10 more years. Just a nice truck.
That's why I just restored my 2004 GMC 2500hd 4WD 6ltr with 75k mi for $20k Frame replaced. It might seem to be a lot, but not really. Tommy gate; ❄️ plow; lifting crane; class 3 hitch & camper attech bars, ➕️ a few other things.
There is no way anyone should be paying a market adjustment. Find another dealer. Let this one starve. I just saw an SR5 4wd with the upgrade package for sale for $42k with no markup. The msrp was $45k.
Still way too much. The competition offers a lot more for less.
@@endlessnameless3996 Id disagree, 42k for a 4x4 sr5 with a package is very competitive. Id like to find that unicorn. I wonder if that dealer had some hidden pricing, I bet they did. A frontier SV 4x4 with the tech package is right in there about 42k.
ha , yeah, it might as well call it a "i want 2 month's mortgage" fee
TOYOTA LOST ME WITH THEIR ENGINE CHOICES
The only reason the dealer is adding that market adjustment is because they can, they won't starve because there's a lot of fools out there paying these prices. It's buyer's fault.
Pickup trucks should be basic utility vehicles without alot of gadgets and a huge price tag. I'd love to see manufacturers get the message.
Part of the issue is emissions regulations. The engineering tricks they come up with to try to meet those standards drives up the price due to all the electronics they need to install for emissions control.
I agree. Today's trucks have all the extra features that luxury cars had years ago that I don't need or want in a truck. And all the small trucks today have tiny beds that make them useless to even haul 10 ft long lumber for a DIY homeowner.

What we're actually seeing happen is the wiping out of the middle class in the United States. We used to call this stagflation. Over the years, income goes up by 5% a year while prices go up by 20% a year. Give it a decade and suddenly everybody is just simply poorer than they used to be.
And it becomes The New normal
If there were ever a time for automakers to make a quality INEXPENSIVE vehicle, it is now.
In 1998 I paid $18k for a new SR5. Glass headlights, tailgate that could hold a lot of weight without bending, simple and straightforward inside and out. Those were the days.
When I think of a small truck, the idea of a small V6 or 4 cylinder with a manual transmission comes to mind. What Toyota and Nissan are offering is ludicrous… you may as well buy a full size truck with a v8
And the price difference is surprisingly small. These entry level trucks are insanely expensive.
If anyone made one like that and has a full size bed for $20k I might consider it, keeping in mind the out the door cost would be at least $5k more for taxes and fees.
Har. What V8 you gonna buy now?? There aren’t many left. Dodge, Ford, Toyota… all V6. Oh. You could buy a Chev. Fill yer boots bud.
I looked at a Tacoma today to replace my crappy Ridgeline....... But then I looked at the price.... hahahahahahahaha.
I bought a leftover 2023 Honda Ridgeline brand new 3 months ago and I got 2.9% financing from Honda and they knocked $3,000 off sticker because it was last year's model and it's a great vehicle it rides good it's roomy and does everything I wanted to do for under 40K
First, it is under 40k though, meaning it is about 40k for 2023 model. 2024 frontier Pro 4X is right at 42-43K with rebate and negotiation with better power and drive train and it is 2024.
Secondly, it is a ridgeline, if you are wanting suv with a truck body then yes you will love ridgeline, but if you are a truck guy, Ridgeline is a fake truck TBH!
Ridgelines are for modern, yuppie-types who want to feel manly so they gravitate to a sissy-looking unibody SUV that happens to have an open bed. Even the wimpy Ford Maverick, in spite of its own unibody construction, looks more masculine.
Hell no. Price is way too high. I don’t pay dealer market adjustments.
I would never patronize a Dealer that charged over MSRP…. Don’t buy anything there. As someone who was in business for 40 years if you can’t survive working off of retail, you shouldn’t be in business in the first place! Simply taking advantage of the people that “have to have”. Ridiculous.
In North Texas I was shopping for mid-sized trucks and the nearest Toyota dealership couldn't keep Tacomas on the lot, they're almost all sold as soon as customers here one's gonna be delivered. Got to look at a TRD Offroad with predator side-steps and a dash-cam and other goodies that the buyer couldn't take delivery of yet, the only Tacoma on the lot. Their Sticker was a smidge over $47,000.
I got my 2022 TRD Sport 4wd quad cab for $48,000 total. No dealer markup, I made calls and found a dealer 50 miles away that didn't do markup. Put half down in cash, 2.8% interest. I'm happy.
I had to walk out of a deal for a 2024 4x4 SR5. MSRP $42899. The dealer insisted on pushing too much in add-ons. Windshield package for $799, Summit package $2599, Tire and Wheel BS $499.plus a dealer fee of $699. They weren’t going to budge. Left my car in their lot, walked across the street to the Nissan dealer and bought a Frontier Pro4x for $42400 out the door. Nissan is dealing and want to reduce inventory. I got a good deal a Nissan. Hoo rah.
Toyota dealers make a ton off of those dealer add ons. A lot of the time, they don't even install the upgrades.
The Frontier is a solid truck. Also felt way more lively than the Tacoma. V6 with over 300 hp are very good numbers.
Nissan is built in Ms and 85% of the parts are US made. Tacos are Hencho en Mexico and $10k more than a comparable Pro4x Frontier. Looked at a Pro4x in Dallas and was $7000 of sticker with 2.9% Nissan financing
Looking at a frontier 4x4 SV with a long bed. Stickers around 41k. Although the dealer has kept putting on bump stickers with $8k adj since Covid I can’t think they would actually try to get that in this market. I would actually expect a healthy discount. Question is does anyone think the discounts will get better as the year progresses? I would assume so as long interest rates stay where they are. As inventory piles up something has to give.
The Frontier is a sweet machine.
$50k for a small truck? How about $15k for a simple small truck? Keep these, too much. First Nissan Hardbody truck I bought cast $9k. This is insane.
This is a no-go for me, and I've owned three small/medium-sized Toyota pick-ups over the past 25 years. I might pay that for a plug-in hybrid Tacoma, depending on the specs.
08 Tacoma, 166,000 miles, 6cyl 4-liter, 5-spd automatic, bulletproof. I'll keep it till the wheels fall off!
That grill area looks like a nightmare to clean when all those pockets and crevices get full of dirt and insects .
I don't get these designs at all. What happened to nice clean lines on a vehicle? All these plastic grill pieces look cheap and ugly.
I bought a 2024 Frontier Pro 4X in January fully loaded with every upgrade available for 46K and loving it. 50K for this boring plane truck is crazy.
I sure wish the pro4x came in LB, I'm fixing to pull my binder on a 24 taco and go get a SV long bed.
@EnriqueTuesta-fq-4dw plane truck? If it can fly I am in for one!
46 for a frontier is also ridiculous dude
But you bought a Nissan! 😂
I bought a new Pro 4x in Jan, 2021. It was the end of the previous body style but came with the new 3.8L engine/9-sp transmission. It was fully loaded in Cayenne Red and gray leather interior. I paid $36k for it. I no longer needed a pickup and wanted more interior room, so I traded if for an Acura MDX last year. I think I got $32k for my trade-in. It was a damn good truck.
I paid $5000, new, for my current Toyota truck. I'll be keeping it and will certainly not be buying anything new.
Doc fee as in, documents? As in the little USB flash drive they give with the files on documents on it. ??
The worst part is they will blame inflation and some people are dumb enough to fall for it. This is just flat out price gouging. I remember when a brand new base model Tacoma was 12-14k and then dealers found out that everybody wanted one so they started marking up the prices over the years. This wasn't even that long ago either. Like 12-15 years ago. There's no way in hell we've had a 500% increase in inflation over the past 15 years yet they are still using that lie because people will still fall for it. It's high time people stop buying new cars altogether for at least a few years so we can crash the market and get car prices back down to reasonable.
I have been a car salesman for 5 major dealerships over the years. The best vehicle to buy is one that is 2 or 3 years old. They suffer the highest percentage of depreciation the first few years, and the bugs have usually been pretty well worked out by that time.
thank you for confirming what i have thought for a few years now.
They also won’t suffer too badly if the first owner skimped on maintenance.
Can toyota go back and make the standard cab 2 door? Can the big 3 do that also?

Hey Rev nation who's blue prius is that 😊
In November I went to my local Toyota dealer in California, North Bay. I wanted them to find me, when they started to be available a 2024 SR5 4x4 Longbed doublecab with navigation and the cold weather package. She said, okay, but they were not taking deposits since they would be selling the new Tacos on first come first sold basis although they would let me know if they could get the config I wanted. About 6 weeks past and I finally got call. The saleslady told me that Toyota was simply not going to build more than a handful of long bed SR5s because it was not a popular config. On top of that she said that the dealer got their allocation of the fist 2024s and none were SR5s and they would be arriving in Mid-late January. Okay, I said I'd come take a look when they arrived. I never got another call back but I drive by/near the dealer regularly so when the first Tacos showed up I stopped by late on a Sunday to take a look at the handful of pre-runner, TRD Sport and TRD Off Roads they had. All but one had a sold sign and the PreRunner had a sticker, with market adjust coming out to $51,400. What? I looked a few more times as more Tacos arrived, but as you have noticed, they were selling sluggishly. I had configured a TRD-Sport on the Toyota website that came to $46K. They had 2 TRD Sports, neither with Nav and they were above $60K Into February they finally got some SR5s, all short bed and none of those were 4x4, still they were $49K.
I ended up buying a deeply discounted NEW 2023 RAM 1500 Warlock 4x4 with every available option and the 3.6L V6 that gets the same mileage as the Taco 4 banger. It has UConnect 8.4 w/ Nav, Alpine stereo, towing package with the 3.55 limited slip rear end, cold weather package, parking sensors, power sliding rear window with defrost, 6'4" bed and power folding side trailer tow mirrors. Sticker was 53,900 and it was marked down to 33,900. Best thing I ever did and this coming from former owner of 3 Tacomas and 1 Tundra which I still sorely miss.
The new SR5 is goofy looking, super cheap inside with lots of thin plastic all around including the bumpers. My new RAM has powder coated steel bumpers front and rear with tow hooks and fog lights.
I went to a Ford dealership in California on Highway 101. The dealer had 1,438 Ford pickups for sale. They were priced to sell. $10,00 to $12,000 less than any other Ford dealership and they told me they were selling about 30 trucks a day.
Yes I bought one.
I got a 2016 tundra extra cab 4x4 TRD for $39k in December of 2015, now my exact truck is $78,000. I thought mine was expensive, ugh-prices!, lol
Holy SHEEEET!!!
I paid 42K in Canada for a cement 2018 Tundra TRD Off-road. That would e like 35K U.S.😮😮😮
Think about 8 years from today ?
I got a 2015 Tacoma in 2020 30,000 miles,used 1 owner like new for $24,500. I'm glad I bought it. It will be my last vehicle. These trucks new are outrageous. I could probably sell it right now for what I paid for it.
2012 tundra 4x4 trd with tow package for 32,000. I'm still driving it. Screw toyota
Full sized trucks like the Tundra that no longer have a V8 are a no go for me regardless of price.
2024 has a smaller gas tank 18.2 gal vs older models have a21,1 gal ( 2.9 more gas) both have mpg 21 combo…
Be aware the hybrids battery is not completely water proof ..do not go into water crossings..electrical issues can occur..
Add to this Dynamic Price the fact it has a 2.4 L turbo 4 Cylinder Engine. Makes 276 HP, but at sacrifice is an engine runs hotter and destroys Oil!!! My Dollar have to wait after few years to see if this is viable combination????
That price gets you a nicely equipped Colorado ZR2.
Rst Silverado 1500 4x4 with the mini duramax about 52k now.
Crazy
I bought a 2013 in 2015 leased v6 4door 4wd for 23K. I couldn’t pull the trigger on these even if I was a millionaire. Get a used one first.
I bought a 2023 last August. There was no additional markups added on where I bought mine. I paid it off in 6 months. I was driving a 2002 Nissan Xterra which was the last new vehicle I had purchased new before the Toyota Tacoma.
Why are they not selling? Two reasons: 1. PRICE, 2. No V-6 engine option.
Bullseye. "Market Adjustments" by this dealer are pure greed. There's no longer any shortage of Tacomas or Tundras. Hence why the dealer is burying them in the back of the lot to "hide" that fact.
I would not pay MA. I was at a deaalership in Atlanta looking at a 4RUNNER. They had one price on the sticker , started to talk out the door price, dude leaves for a few minutes, come back with a other price- yeah he added 5k , said nope and walked out with dude in tow. ridiculous toyotas are not all that...
Where I am in CT, I couldn’t find a single base model, 2wd 2024 Tacoma, but tons, and tons of tacomas loaded up with options. I just want a basic pickup. The new Frontier is looking better every day, but I’m guessing there won’t be any base models available anywhere.
WHY are there NO single regular cabs available?
You can't reduce cost (move production to Mexico), remove engine options (and put one in no one wants), and expect people are going to be chomping at the bit to buy them.
You know they have been built to n Mexico for a decade
@@ericvolkman1490 And they used to be much cheaper with a V6!
It's an insult to intelligent customers to go "hecho en Mexico " and still expect them to pay more than an American made Frontier.
Of course, the blind Toyota fanboys will still give their right arm to have it, just because.
@@jeanclaude7018 Because a Frontier will never last as long as a Toyota; crappy resale value too 😂
@@user-wv8rd2om3f More Toyota fanboy unresearched bullshit.
Frontier just edged out Tacoma on resale value. Look it up and find FACTS instead of mantras. Google it and cry.
Also see the TFL video of the Million Mile Frontier. Toyota is not better than that. Proof is proof. So is my 1987 Hardbody I've been driving since 1995.
I bought my 2006 Tacoma SR5 V6 longbed for $26,500 out the door (tax, license, delivery fee, etc…). Once everything is added up these 2024 trucks will run you over $50k + financing. It’s been a very reliable vehicle, it tows up to 6500 lbs (4000 lbs is a good max if you don’t want the truck to struggle too much), and it seats up to 5 people. All of the bells and whistles added in 18 years + inflation doesn’t justify it doubling in price. It’s a great midsized truck, but even I wouldn’t buy another one at current prices.
I traded my Tacoma a year ago, and I took the headrest out and floor rests prior to going on lot, they never noticed it. When I asked for the market adjustment to be removed I and they said no, I smiled. 2 days later they called for the headrests which were not present at the time they gave the price. I sold them back for the refund of the market adjustment. Play the game along with them, it’s fun.
So glad a got a 3rd gen taco before it was too late. TSS off road package and put a camper on the back. Me and “Scooter” are doing just fine. So glad I didn’t wait.
Time was when the main reason people bought pickup trucks was because they were inexpensive transportation. Two doors, a bench seat and a bed in the back for hauling things. Now nearly every pickup out there is a crew cab, with all sorts of luxury items and nanny features that add on to the price. I guess a lot of people have a lot of money to piss away, judging by how many of these $50K and up pickups I see on the road. It's up to everyone to decide what to do with their own money, but personally I refuse to buy anything with a dealer markup on it. I think we'd all be better off following the example of billionaire Warren Buffett, who drives a 10 year old Cadillac. He's got enough money to be able to drive whatever he wants, yet he's smart enough not to waste a lot of money on a depreciating asset. It's always the people who don't really have a lot of money but want to present an image to their friends and neighbors that go out and buy ridiculously overpriced vehicles.
A little over a decade ago, I asked my father why many coworkers had relatively expensive new cars while I was driving a 20 y/o Oldsmobile. His answer was "It's because they have debt, but you have wealth!"
those overpriced pickups have become "masculinity badges".
@@edwil111 ...for the insecure.
Find yourself a good used vehicle. New vehicles are overpriced. Let someone else take the financial hit on the depreciation of a new vehicle.
My cousin just got a 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR in Silver color rear wheel drive at sticker for around $37k. It does have leaf springs in the back suspension for the SR model but looks like the SR5 same silver alloy wheels. Only had couple small factory installed options. No dealer installed options. No dealer markups. He likes it handles really well. 😇
Paid 37k out the door for my 2019 SR5 long bed. Cant believe theyve jumped up that much!!
And back then it still felt like a rip-off.
I've bought a lot of new cars. "Market Adjustment" to me means, get one at the dealer down the road that doesn't play that horseshit. Guess they want to go out of business, especially now when sales are already in decline and inventory is higher than 2/3 years ago.
Toyota is self-destructing by offering only turbo charged motors for their Tacomas, Tundras and 4Runners... PERIOD!
Hey everybody, he said "PERIOD"!!!
That means all discussions should end and nothing else can ever be debated on the subject.
@@reichpanzer2418he is correct. I dislike Toyota in general. They are not bad by any means but no Toyota has ever been impressive to me. They imo have always been middle of the road. But I at least in the Taco's case, they have been proven to be reliable. A turbo 4 can NEVER be as reliable as a NA 6.
Turbo charged motors are not reliable long-term and 300k reliability and high resale value are one of the main selling points of Toyota. Also, who wants turbo-lag on a truck? Turbos are no good for low RPM work, like offroading and tow/hauling (basically all the stuff trucks are meant to do.)
And why, exactly, would that be?
@@tylermacconnell217 B/c of nearly unobtainable emission/efficiency standards for small trucks/SUVs as set forth by the US gubment via the EPA. The Toyota Hilux GR Sport and the Toyota Prado still get the 4.0 6cyl all around the world...
I enjoy these car channels criticizing the market but this was the first one to make a direct recommendation where to put your money. 👍🏼
Without a recommendation, how long are people supposed to sit on their hands when they might really need a newer vehicle.
The name Tacoma always sounded like the name of a tampon. "Pick up a box of Tampex tacoma's while your out".
I got a 2022 Frontier Pro4x $42k fully loaded 4x4. Its been good so far.
It's not a Toyota 😂
@@jmyers6175the Nissan is made in the USA, Toyota made in Mexico.
@@jmyers6175Toyotas are overrated. It’s not 1999 anymore, the newer ones are getting too complicated and build quality is slipping. I’d rather have a ford or I’d really rather have a Nissan!
I've had my 2005 Frontier since 08, no issues whatsoever.
@@Policearegood-mt6kx Yah, like the UAW is any better than Hard working Mexican Labor that Appreciates a Good job ...Unlike the Lazy UAW
Isn’t a ZR2 52k? And they want 50k for an SR5?
Yep, technically a ZR2 can be as low as $48k if you get no options. Awesome truck too, this one is worth $30k going for $50k.
In 2022 I called every dealership in Southern California looking for a Tacoma V6, 4x4, Double Cab with 6' bed; and, the few that did have it, wanted a $6k markup. So I bought a GMC canyon, instead. It has more horsepower and torque than the Tacoma and I got it for $42.5k instead of the $45k plus markup they wanted for those Tacomas.
Don't be a Simp, don't give your money away, and don't get into bidding wars.
I bought brand new, for cash a Nisaan 4x4 short bed back in 1989...........$12,000.00.
I was just at Priority and they had only one available and they wanted 5k over msrp. I got one $1500 under msrp and love it. The engine is fabulous, lots of power and I got 24.9mpg today.
That's great, but... I recently bought a new F150 XLT Supercab 5.0 4x4 for 46k. Plus, it has a 6.5ft bed, all aluminum body and my V8 gets 22+ on the highway all day long... thats calculated at the pump btw.
These Tacoma prices are just ridiculous.
The extended cab Tacoma doesn't even have rear doors to access what's behind the front seats!
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712guarantee it’s not new
My best MPG for my 22 Frontier 4x4 V-6 driving smartly has been 27.4 mpg.
so you only drive downhill? LOL
Insane! Those trucks should be around $40k plus tax🤯
All those high dealer markups and fees should be illegal💯
My wife was pushing me to buy a new truck. I am a Toyota driver for years. Time to get rid of my Camry. I refuse to drive a new Tundra in LA traffic. New Tacoma is ugly and now seeing this. WOW! Got my 2006 Tundra out of storage and have been working on it for several months. Just about done and looking forward to doing it right!
Kind of reminds me of the old joke about the hot dog vendor on a street corner selling his hot dogs for $1000 each. A passerby commented, "At that price you're not going to sell many hot dogs." The vendor replied, "No, but if I sell one I'm through for the day."
2009 SR5 Prerunner. Love it. Best part. Been paid off for over 10 years.
