I don't know a lot about Tundras, but for Tacomas there are other standard differences in the models available with a hybrid vs. their non-hybrid counterpart (obviously, TRD Pro and Trailhunter come standard with the Max and are loaded with other options). E.g., the Limited has full time 4WD and...
One of the touted benefits of the Trailhunter is the partnership with ARB and the ability to order "over 100" accessories with dealer install and warranty from Toyota. I know there are some in the configurator (roof rack, fridges, traction boards) and some additional accessories on the DIO list...
I know there has been a few errors on these build sheets using generic info from other models to "fill in the blanks" before official info has been released, but these MPG numbers don't line up with any of the mileages on the non-hybrid models and the city MPG is noticeably higher, so it looks...
TRD PRO $62,100
Traihunter $64,400
Sport add $3,000 over non hybrid, Off Road and Limited add $4200.
The scene lights and Rigid color changing fog lamps alone are a $1300 option on the PRO and standard on the Trailhunter, so I do not think Trailhunter will be cheaper than PRO although I will...
So, my understanding is that the remote start from the Toyota app feature is a paid subscription, but remote start from the fob is not, is that correct? Also, does anyone know what other features are paywalled behind the subscription? I assume navigation?
Yeah, they drove the Land Cruisers and the Taco hybrids on the same track at the recent drive event, but I was referencing this from about a month ago.
Keep in mind you can move the front seats forward when you have passengers in the back seat. That seat is clearly all the way back. When I test drove a Gen 4, at 6' 1" I could not reach the pedals with the seat fully back. In most vehicles I drive with the seat adjusted all the way back and feel...
My understanding is that the first iForce Max Taco press drive, Land Cruiser press drive, and 4Runner unveil all happened at the same event last week. A few auto influencers got to drive along in a TRD Pro during some "torture testing" laps on a dirt track previously, but none had driven it. So...
The Land Cruiser is almost 6 inches taller than the 4runner and a couple inches taller than the Taco. I haven't seen anything directly comparing how that translates into headroom though. Could be differences in seat height and ride height as well.
Didn't watch/read all of them yet, but some pertinent into for the hybrid Tacos:
A few reviews mentioned that even with the iForce Max the acceleration isn't great (it's 500+/- lbs heavier than the Taco) and in the Kirk Kreifels/TRD Jon video they directly compare the ride to the Trailhunter...
I think I could take Underground, Black, or Bronze Oxide and would pass on White or Silver. Was leaning 6' long boi but I can almost flip a coin on bed length. Underground does look sweet!
(Sorry if there is already a more detailed Trailhunter allocation list somewhere, I checked the Dealer Allocations spreadsheet and didn't see any hybrids added yet.)
I stopped by my dealer today and had him take a peek at current Trailhunter allocations for my region (Chicago Region I believe...
People have long paid many $1,000s of dollars in premiums to get the top output engine in a vehicle and spent a ton of money modding their engines with expensive superchargers, headers, etc to eek out a few more HP. An iForce Max hybrid in the turbo 4 cyl adds 48 HP and 148 lb-ft of torque over...
The weird thing is, according to the manual, the Trailhunter actually has slightly higher payload than the other hybrids. Yes, the OME suspension is optimized for heavier loads, which is probably why you don't see a big drop on the Trailhunter, but it has a lot of added weight over the Off Road...
Sure, it's not a terrible payload for a midsize truck already fitted with armor (to compare, Colorado ZR2 has 1280 and the ZR2 Bison has 1050), but the Trailhunter actually has slightly higher payload numbers than the other hybrids. A 1709 max payload was claimed to come with the hybrids by the...
What happened to 1700? From Car and Driver: "The hybrid iForce Max is capped at a 6000-pound tow rating can carry a payload of up to 1709 pounds. The nonhybrid Tacoma tows slightly more with a 6500-pound maximum, but its payload capacity drops by four pounds."
If there's not something missing...
What are the $5900 worth of options? I thought the PRO came pretty loaded as standard.
My dealer said he can possibly trade an allocation for another one in the system if I don't get the color or bed length I want. But of course there would have to be someone else out there wanting to trade as...
