Not touching any new Taco version for couple of years and all the problems have been identified and ironed out. Toyota is excellent in fixing identified problems fast. But, until then, I will stay with my current TRD/OR. Nevertheless, Toyota "magic" does not trump physics; a turbo can not hope to reach the longevity the current NA V6 has demonstrated. Heck... the turbo units for the current Tundra can go up to $9K to replace. I fear that a similar bill will appear in the 100-150K mile future of this. Time will tell and I truly hope I am proven wrong.
That’s a measured approach. I’ll say this: waiting for a few years to see what the longevity is makes sense, far more sense than just declaring one powertrain superior currently without data. $9k seems a bit steep from what I’ve heard. Also, if a turbo needs replacing after 150k miles, a number I’ve seen people throwing around, if the rest of the vehicle has been reliable, spending $3k over 150k miles is a somewhat normal usage cost. Our old Suburban has 175k miles, and we’ve probably spent $3k in maintenance just in the last few years to keep it on the road (and it’s relatively minor issues; overall, it has been very reliable). So I think a lot of the turbo pushback falls into two categories: a misunderstanding of statistics, especially as it relates to Tundra issues, and a preconceived political bias blaming the government for this or that even though the new Tacoma would have been in development many years ago. Your approach is correct: we must wait and see to let the data and facts tell us how the new powertrain stacks up, not our feelings or opinions.
I’m going to hold onto my 21 Trd OR for 2 more years, to hope interest rates come back down & let any bugs get worked out, then buy a Trd OR Premium or Pro if I can get one for msrp or less.
I’m not often off-road, I will choose the TRD Sport. I deposited $1000. CAD ordered the 2025 Tacoma TRD Sport two days ago 😊.
Nice!
Love the look of the TRD Sport!! It’s this or an off road for me!!
Go with the TRD Off-road. It’s super cool 😉👍🏻
@@jax1079what if I don't go off-road?
@@jax1079I might just go with this trim and 2wd

And the Tundra turbo's had problems their first year. Its a nope from '24 Tacoma from me, will be keeping my current one.
If only they made an option in the sport for limited interior like on the previous gen’s so you could get the ventilated seats as well.

Not a bad plan
I like everything about it, the unknown is how reliable the new turbo engine will be.
Totally understandable, but if I'm going to roll the dice on a brand, it's going to be Toyota.
TRD sport or off-road if i don't actually do off-road?
TRD Sport. Rides very well.
GARBAGE BACK SEAT WAY TO SMALL
Not really. Average people will fit fine
You don't buy a mid-size truck to fit large adults in the back 😂
None of the mid size trucks have a big back seat. Sounds like you prefer a full size truck
