Nice review. I’ve put a deposit on this exact truck at my local Toyota dealer. This is the first TRD Sport with the Premium Package that I have seen. It doesn’t disappoint. Those side steps really complete the looks of this truck.
Disagree. Tacomas were always expensive for what you got EXCEPT this Gen4. All the upgrades Toyota put into this priced it about right or at least competitively. Everyone complaining about the price and hating on it should test drive one.
Reduced gas tank 18.2 gals vs 3rd gen at 21.1 gallons..still NO hood shock struts..my 2001 Toyota Camry had hooded shock struts…why for the price of a Tacoma have NO shock struts for the hoods?
People complaining about the price while it’s expensive, this is equivalent to a 38-40k car in 2019/2020. Don’t blame Toyota blame inflation. They’ve also added a lot of features / tech to the Tacoma which is what kept the price down in earlier models
Just bought the 2024 yesterday and took it back today because the engine hood vibrates way crazy. Dealer says it's normal but I don't feel safe. Will be in a discussion with General Manger tomorrow to see what can be done. Light strobe affect makes it very distracting and not safe because I found myself not looking at the road
The backseat is a downgrade from the previous three Jen it's ridiculous the third gen when you fold the seats down you have a nice flat hard surface they're going backwards instead of forward on this new truck😅
Those grille shutters have me a little nervous. Time will tell, but I'm curious how they are going to perform in freezing conditions with blowing snow. I can see those things icing up. I wonder where and when Toyota did cold weather testing? They brought the gen III to Alaska in the winter during development. No gen 4's were ever spotted here.
I wonder if people arae aware they do not have to actually buy this truck if they don't want to. The way some speak about it, you'd think somwbody is forcing them to purchase one.
Will you have an allocation for a Limited when they are released? Toyota is a little weird that you have to choose from what they build instead of what you want.
We haven't gotten any information on the hybrids yet as far as allocation. We can place factory orders, but they are not customizable other than the color. Let me know if you're interested in placing a factory order!
price and engine are two of a few deal breakers....I will stick with my 2012 trd sport 4.0 L engine with 132 K on her .....runs great and never let me down..........any new item must be around one or two years to iron out the kinks...just my opinion........hey do we get better gas milage with a 2.4 L turbo....nope. oops
@crystalladouceur598 In my experience, engines with turbos create a lot heat. The exhaust gases are what spins a turbo, which in turn forces more air into the engine. Since turbos constantly use heat they do wear out and fail. Now, a naturally aspirated motor usually doesn't deal with the additional heat stresses and in turn runs cooler and are also less complicated to work on. But I'm old school and prefer simple large dispacement engines.
Exactly you have the reason I prefer to buy 2024 honda ridgeline trailsport is v6 engine aspirated and the best thing is mgp miles is the same and not turbo nice explain my friend
They only come with the 6' box for the sport automatics in Canada. Same as the last generation. You can get a TRD offroad premium automatic with the 5' box in Canada though!
I don't like that strap that holds the 2:26 seat up there should be a lever that you pull to put it up then push it down to lock the seat i really don't like the extra cab witch you rarely see doesn't have the rear door and not many of them come with the opening rear window and it's way to small anyway and i hate that swich for the parking break if you have a manual i wouldn't trust that thing and forgey to set it half the time.
@@jfalconc I also have a non functioning hood scoop on my 22 Tacoma, however I was referring to the fourth gen 2024 cheesy hood scoop. I easily could’ve ripped the brittle cheap plastic cover off by prying it off with my fingers.
The exterior is nice looking. The interior is too trendy and "boxy" and its gonna look very dated after a while. Not a fan. Also, there are a lot of reviews on CZcams from people complaining about issues with the new Tacoma and Tundra. Also, I wish all the manufacturers weren't eliminating the v6 motors. Not a fan of the Turbo 4.
The TRD Sport Premium gets you a Panasonic view monitor, a key card, trailer back up with straight path assist, 120V outlet in the cab, running boards, cooled front seats, dual zone climate control, softex seats, removable JBL speaker, 14'' touch screen and a few other little goodies. Price difference is about $4k more than the TRD Sport Plus.
@@crystalladouceur598 ok thank you, I ordered a Tacoma with black interior leather I just wanted to see what it looks like, Hawaii hasn’t gotten any yet .. Thank you Aloha 🤙🏾
@@crystalladouceur598I would try and use a real world object, like “this space would be great to keep towing shackles” or something. Something to help visualize
you are talking about mid truck with these options loaded $50000!!!!!! (BACK SEAT WAY TO SMALL) 4 Cyl. no Power for towing also, the interest for high score credit. 700 and up the 6% $3000 plus registration fee $2400 and the dealer fee at lease $1500 they call it protection!!!! but is not! toooooo much money for mid truck for this cost buy RAM or Seairra 1500, Toyota not heavy duty as we think.
These new way over priced tacomas the redesigned inside & out are absolutely horrible looking... i will keep my 2017 Tacoma trd offroad 4x2 only has 42k miles on it was paid off years ago, dealerships are not going to be selling many of these new over priced junkster looking garbage boxes thats for sure..

I truly enjoyed your walk around I love the tacos...
I agree with the way you lock the back seat in the lock position I think it was cheaper for Toyota to do that rather than have it built into the seat
Nice truck but i wish it was less expensive and had more legroom in the backseat.
You should go with 2024 ridgeline trailsport. More legroom
Nice except for the insane pricetag.
Super nice 👍
Don’t forget to let those turbos cool down before you can turn off the engine.
Nice looking truck, unfortunately the price is not right. At least more than 50K for this. 😅. No thanks
You're correct it is over $50k. But it is worth every penny in my opinion!
@@crystalladouceur598 um.......no
I would be interested in buying this exact trim with all the features for MSRP out the door. 🚪

Inflation is at 3.5%. Demand and profit drive the price.

Gotta remember it’s a complete rework if it starts to get out of reach then you buy the Stout it’s the new entry level.

Thumbs down for not saying msrp
Crystal, I want one how much? MSRP?
Newest sub, like your commentary, truck is great, price is about $9000 more than last years model, price is not ….

You can purchase a full size truck with that price, mid 60s ??
Nice truck, not really wanting a turbo 2.4l engine though.
May I ask why?

V6 with no turbo is way better
Is this the six foot bed?
Why doesn’t have powered tailgate?
Can i get a TRD Sport Premium automatic 5 ft bed in Canada, or only 6 ft? Thanks

The cost is way to much in my area. They want 8 thousand over sticker price.
That's a little insane! We're msrp!
What grade fuel does it take because of its turbo engine?
Regular
Id rather have a trd pro if im paying over $50k
Trd sport is the nicest trim model!
Be extra extra careful with the non functioning hood scoop, it’s brittle and will crack and then fly off the top of the hood while driving😳
Never happened that to me, and I have a TRD sport Tacoma 2020!!,

Crystal, any updates on the trailhunter 😢? I'm waiting...
Nothing yet! If we get one, I'll post a video of that one too!!
@@crystalladouceur598 perfect thank you! Love your vids and I'll try to get the truck from you and your location :-)
Tacoma prices have risen to high for me, I will have to switch to a lower price truck going forward.
The trucks in USA are too expensive and that is why they cannot sell.

4 cyl turbo will not last very long
A "ton" of storage space. Why do all reviewers use "ton" all the time?
That's a really great question, that I don't have an answer to lol. What do you think would be a better word to use?

Yeah people should stop buying and force the pricing to come down. It's crazy
America runs on debt
Body looks good but the price an turbo engine is 👎 the turbo is the first thing that will go out not going to last long Toyota has lost its way
Love these but they're WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY overpriced for a Tacoma... This is not a full size truck but has a full size price tag
The new tacomas are build on the tundra chassis making the new tacos larger and roomier!

Anyone want to buy my 2023 Tacoma TRD sport for 36k? 9k miles.
No thanks, I'll keep my 4.0 V6 tacoma until it dies
The big screen tv on the dash is soooo stupid, I have a 23 4runner and it has a much smaller one and works great and looks great.
I feel like they’re going the wrong way in terms of style. I personally don’t like the look whatsoever.
…..
Way over priced!!
Forgot to mention that they break on ice
Loose that nose ring!!!
Which one? I have 2 😂
Relax grandpa

These will sell old delusional man.. 😂😂 even though I agree about the ugly look.
More than likely they actually will. People are willing to pay it. 100% agree though we have entered a new era of automobile prices.
So over priced
GARBAGE BACK SEAT WAY TO SMALL
It's time to stop trying to convince consumers. The truck is nice but the value is too much for what it offers.
