2024 Tacoma – Here's The New Competition! 🥊 Now With Hybrid Model

[ControlNode]

I got far enough to see the tow ratings, didn't need to watch any more. 6,500lb not enough for me.

Overall good job Toyota. Variety of options. Something for everyone. Curious about the 8 speed auto, and fuel numbers for the higher output 2.4I4 and with the hybrid option. I don't mind the looks. Interior looks decent minus the ipad style screen. Look forward to seeing more reviews. While basic in looks and some features, I see no reason to upgrade. The 5g ranger tows a lot and has solid payload. As a truck doing truck things it still does very well.

Yowza Toyota is offering all the options that were “must haves” for me to let go of my ‘19 Ranger. Crew Cab and long bed.

nice to haves: ventilated seats for my sweaty bum, in bed air compressor (great when you’re stuff motorcycles in the bed), MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

There are loads of other features that I don’t care about, but if I could get the Trailhunter with the above options then I’d be seriously tempted.

hopefully Ford reveals other options to be more competitive in the next couple of years.

Heard the seat is higher and the cab interior height is higher. Brake controller. Rear disc finally. 6 speed manual.. wonder if my smart cap will fit on it?.
i like it.

and an automatic tailgate! no dampener needed wow

Took them 4 decades to finally get standard rear disc brakes.......lol

Lots of options. Tons of volume makes all the investment in trims and drivetrains possible. I’ll save you time. Here’s my review

SR - work truck for bros
SR5 - bro truck
TRD - bro truck
TRD Pro - bro truck with bro seats
Limited - nice try, still a bro truck
Trail hunter - how many bros can afford this thing

Toyota making most configurations and choices. Want to see the EPA numbers. I like it. I wonder if the mpg vs power will be as good as our Ranger 5gs? Interested to see SR5 xtra cab pricing.

IMO...Ford 6G wins the fugly contest...Chevy ZR2 and this new Taco has better exterior in my designer opinion...performance wise? Maybe Ford...we'll see...

opostite for me the tacoma is trying way to hard to be aggresive but its just ugly to me but the fact the pro is coming with +2LT is kinda neat plus 4 link rear is massive plus over the ford leaf spring

The styling angles are too over the top for me. Can't ever see myself buying one. Even though Ford is lame the way they do some things, give me my Ranger everyday over this.

 

[NotBudule]

If it has a SuperCab option and a transmission that feels like no teeth are missing , I'll test drive it...

The new Taco looks like a toy truck on steroids. The interior console and dash looks like a Lego set. The hybrid power train is intriguing, but only if it gets at least 30mpg. I hope to keep my 5g for several more years, but if I have to replace it sooner, I would still consider the 6g Ranger with the 2.7, or the GM twins over this. The only thing that really bothers me about the 6g is the lack of 4 auto, which the GM‘s have. Purely on looks, the GM’s have the edge for me, but the Ranger still looks good to me.

Well Toyota had to do something. Ether make the Tacoma smaller so it is much different that Tundra or slap a Tacoma badge on a Tundra truck. They chose the ladder. For me its too big and bulky on the outside and the cab looks very small and tight on the inside. Not sure why you would buy this truck versus a full size truck? Not sure off road folks want to be toting a hybrid battery around? I just don't get it. The last Tacoma I bought was in 2008. I will wait and see what Toyota does to compete with the Maverick.

Looks nice. Toyota did a REAL next generation upgrade with this. That engine compartment worries me though.

A hybrid pickup truck....hmmmm

 

[Max Crafter]

sharp looking truck.
Might be worth a look and a trade in if it checks off the boxes

I am beginning to wonder if I have a long lost brother. Your thoughts are mine as well, every point.
