    2024 Tacoma Deposits | Reservations | Waitlist Sheet & Stats - Tacoma4G

    Got an email from the GM that they would be able to, but I decided to stop with their games and this whole truck market. Ended up keeping my 22 honda for a daily and purchasing an 07 tundra SR5 4wd with the 5.7l v8 for a dedicated tow rig. Best of both worlds and cheaper for me to own both...

    2024 Tacoma Deposits | Reservations | Waitlist Sheet & Stats - Tacoma4G

    Went to my local dealership in Vancouver, WA and they refused to take a deposit. Had $1,000 ready to go but nope. They told me that numbers would be "extremely limited" which is a full on lie based on production volume of ~ 240k vehicles each year for the past 5 years despite the pandemic. I...

    More Black 2024 Tacoma TRD PRO and Black TRAILHUNTER pics

    the black looks amazing. Currently Bronze Oxide is my #1 followed by Underground, then black and celestial silver metallic. To be honest I would be happy with any of these colors in a TRD off-road with my options, but I think black would be the worst for dirt; and the hardest to keep clean.

    Trailhunter Tacoma (w/ bullbar) featured in in Blue Beetle superhero movie

    Digging into google trying to find anything related to this color and all I can find is from Art Director Alec Chelines' website with some social media advertisements including this one. If youlook closely on the bottom it says "in custom color not available from the factory."...

    2024 Tacoma vs. 2024 Land Cruiser -- Comparison & Differences

    Landcruiser is enticing. Center locking diff + rear locking diff front sway bar disconnect interior looks much more refined than the tacoma made at the Tahara plant in Japan (Known for the 4runner, celica and lexus GS/LS/GX) 2.4l Hybrid only matches the towing capacity of the hybrid tacomas...

    2024 Tacoma TRD OFF-ROAD 6-Speed Manual live pics (interior & exterior) in Bronze Oxide

    I think these photos answered a bunch of my questions about the TRD OR. Would it come in Bronze oxide? Would it be allowed to have no rear window peep hole? Could I still upgrade the center screen and speaker package? Would I be able to have the trailering package added (solar octane TRD OR...

    2024 SR/SR5 Trim with a rear locker???

    2023 tacoma doesn't offer a off-road package or anything that has a rear locker; so I don't think Toyota is going to do that on the 2024 SR or SR5 either; with the pre-runner being the exception. I think Toyota will reason if you want a locking diff + 4wd, or a sway bar disconnect then you...

    2024 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD (in Solar Octane) Model Trim First Look!

    You're 100% correct here. Comparing the wheels you can see it has the SR5 17" alloys on it. So we can probably assume both the SR5 and SR has the normal rear glass; without the hole in it. Can't wait to see what options the SR5 can be spec'd with! This makes me more hopeful to have an SR5 double...

    2024 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD (in Solar Octane) Model Trim First Look!

    I think the biggest news from this is that REAR WINDOW on the SR!!! NO little viewing hole! Looks TONS better!

    2024 Tacoma SR5 Base Trim First Real-Life Sighting

    If we could get a bare-bones SR5 4x4 without that little rear window I think that would be the ticket! Especially if we could find one with a trailer package or possible sway-bar disconnect. I'm itching for a configurator!

    2024 Tacoma SR5 Base Trim First Real-Life Sighting

    These photos really make the rear window stand out, and I do not like it. Far too small, I would have rather a larger manual slide/lock like the older pickups. Sadly I don't think any models come without it.

    25 surprises about 2024 Tacoma according to an automotive engineer

    Agreed, the power tail-gate is a lame feature. I would much rather my tail-lights not have some expensive push button technology in them that increases replacement costs.

    A Chat with Jess Buck, 2024 Tacoma's Senior Vehicle Performance Development Engineer

    Totally agree that the general buyer would rather the leg room/storage than the rear down-sliding glass. Also, this horizontal slide is both a compromise and homage to the original toyota pickups lets not forget.

    A Chat with Jess Buck, 2024 Tacoma's Senior Vehicle Performance Development Engineer

    So the new Tacoma does have the option for a 6-speed manual in the non hybrid versions of the truck; and also does have locking rear diff, with the limited having a locking center diff. I see what you mean by wanting a rear window that rolls down; that would have been a prime feature that I...

    Which 2024 Tacoma trim do you plan to buy?

    I really wish Toyota would put out the configurator and more information on the TRD OR. I would like to be able to get the larger 14" screen; sway bar disconnect, trailer control and rear locker without having to get some of the upgraded options I don't need or want; like the roof and bed rack...

    R&T Article - Toyota Cannot Screw Up the New Tacoma

    One thing I learned from this article was that trucks are tested to a higher standard than the commuter cars: Knowing the truck engines and turbos were tested to withstand 33% more life cycle and duty over say the same engine that came in the lexus NX or toyota crown hybrid; just assures me...

    2.4L Hybrid/Turbo reliability concerns

    My point of view, if they're willing to put this in the Lexus NX/RX, the Toyota highlander & Grand Highlander, the flagship Crown crossover turbo hybrid AND the Tacoma... and possibly (most likely) the 4runner too we're most likely looking at a very good motor choice. Looking at the design of...
