Yeah, I traded in a plug-in hybrid on my 4G Off Road, I went from about 1,200 miles average on a tank of gas to 250 miles. It's a little more than just inconvenient, it's a problem.
The only thing I can think of is they designed the truck knowing they would be switching to alternative fuel...
How does this second post disprove what I said? You're belittling his/her comment to a lack of acquiring the Premium Package, which is incorrect. You also conveniently left out the part where you started the post by calling anyone you've read with opposing views a "complainer". Yikes
I'm...
I agree, I'll go a little further and say the tech overall is poor in this truck. The transmission is just as sloppy as the 3rd generation. The highway passing ability is the same as well, it's a dog.
The frustrating thing with the rear seat is that they won't give you a TRD 4x4 option to...
I have an Off Roa
d Premium...you're actually not correct in trying to reduce what the OP into "he just wants the Premium Package". My gas tank is also so small it seems like a mistake, I get better range on my girlfriend's model Y. I don't have power in the armrest, I changed out the...
Also realizing, while Carista stops the alarms if you prefer not to wear your seatbelt, the cruise control doesn't work unless the belt is buckled. Really starting to hate this truck, lol.
I don't you're being a conspiracy theorist, I feel like you're probably exactly correct. Toyota-care costs Toyota money, but I'm sure they did research that told them it saved them money in the long run.
I don't even look at it as diabolical or anything, it makes good business sense:
"We...
That's a good point regarding the tariffs, gives me some hope. Thank you
For the folks saying they're overpriced...they are. However, if you've purchased a vehicle in the past 5 years, you know that's not unique to Tacomas. They're all overpriced. The price I paid for this truck is actually...
Mine was $54,800 MSRP, I paid $51,000. I've been having trouble with it, not a big fan....so I started shopping it. Trade in values at multiple dealers are in high 30's, Carvana is $40,000, Carmax $39,000. I understand depreciation, but this is excessive. I traded in a RAV4Prime on this, I...
Are you incapable of understanding some people may have a different experience and different needs? Comparing anything to that 3rd gen truck is not exactly a good comparison. Of course it has a better ride than the 3rd gen, a garden cart has a better ride than the 3rd gen. I previously stated...
I'm not reading anything to come to that conclusion, I'm driving it. Anywhere from screens going dead, oil smells, tiny gas tanks, cramped seating, sloppy transmission, unrefined engine, terrible efficiency, rattling glove box, misigned tailgate, poor acceleration....it's just not a nice ride...
I'm at 2.500 miles and I'm pretty confident I smell burning oil. I'll have them look at it at the 5,000 mile check. If it blows up before then, good. It gives me a good excuse to get out of this POS.
I have the same truck, minus the predator steps. I think you've helped me decide on wheels and tires, this looks great. Did you give any consideration to the Gloss Titanium Grey MR703? I wish I could find a picture of a black 4th gen with those on, just to make the final decision.
I'll just say, I was so focused on whether or not I was ok overlooking the transmission issues; I never gave enough consideration to the many other issues and complaints being reported regarding the truck. Are you ok with the tiny gas tank giving you less range than an electric vehicle? The...
Haha, yeah as far as I can tell mine is about 50,000 trucks AFTER the acknowledged an issue. Also, the issue is not with the design or engineering of the transmission, just a production process flaw. So I decided to move forward.
Also, thank you for confirming, that's exactly what happens...a...
I finally struck a deal and pulled the trigger on a 2024 OR Premium with Soft Tonneau and Bed Scene Lighting (loving that so far). Outside of puckering up every time the thing shifts even remotely rough, I'm loving the thing.
I'm just wondering..I used Carista to get rid of the seatbelt...
Thank you for the input. That last panel being fixed would definitely be an issue for me, but are you saying you have to remove the bed rails for the hard cover? I like that less. I think this just tells me I shouldn't buy the hard cover until I see both. Thanks again.
I know it doesnt directly answer your question, but I almost ordered these. I didnt end up getting the Silver Tacoma I thought I was going to get, so I never did order. This was a week ago, the parts guy said they are filling orders, but Toyota just sends them as they get them, no rhyme or...
My truck should be here in the next couple days, it's coming with the soft tonneau cover. I'm happy with the deal and would rather have it than the spray on bed liner or many of the other PIOS. Anyway, I tried to get the dealer to let me give them some extra money, remove the cover, and let me...
