Apologies for covering this in multiple threads, but I don't think the manual payload numbers make a lot of sense. There are multiple hybrid models with various weights and options but they all happen to come in at the exact same payload, besides the Trailhunter which despite being the most...
Their website currently claims 1705 for the TRD Offroad Hybrid (which is very close to 1709) and claims Trailhunter w/ 5 ft bed is 1475. I find it weird that they would be listing these numbers as people are ordering these trucks if they are wildly off. I know there was a few anomalies in their...
There is a little confusion surrounding this, the numbers on Toyota's site currently are higher than what is listed in the manual and some of the door stickers.
Outside of the lower payload stickers on the test model(s), is there any reason to believe that the info on Toyota's website is not accurate? The info on their website aligns more with the much-touted "1709 pounds" of payload for the hybrids, while the door sticker aligns more with the lower...
How on earth are they giving buyers less with the new Tacomas? I have never owned a previous gen Tacoma or even driven one, but every single review from both the automotive press and new owners coming from a previous gen claims that the truck is improved in every way. Better tech, better...
I'm surprised people are so let down by the hybrid MPG and acceleration improvements when this exact same system has been in Tundra and Sequoia for several years now and there are plenty of comparisons out there already. In the Tundra, owners have reported .4-.5 second better 0-60, even more...
I currently have an old LX470 with hydro suspension and a side by side with Fox suspension. I like both the camping/adventure/hunting type of off-roading and the higher speed trail riding on SXS and sled. I take my LX when I need to bring gear and enjoy a scenic, slower drive where the fun is in...
EDIT: Sorry, this is no longer the case.
The first TRD Pro build sheet posted to the forum had the color changing Rigid Fogs as a +$ installed option I believe, as well as the scene lights.
The Pros I've seen have all had them. Pic from recent drive event.
Wild that Ruissimo's build sheets is saying his Trailhunter has one. I'm probably in the minority as I actually would prefer they did come with a moonroof, but I have not seen one on any of the production Trailhunters I've seen...
I do not think Trailhunters are coming with a moonroof. The production trucks from the recent first drive event did not have them and TRD Jon on YouTube recently said with confidence that they do not have them. There has been some confusion over this (Toyota's website said they did and the...
I understand why it's the lowest, but it's still the lowest of the hybrids, which is inverse of what the manual says (that the Trailhunter has a slightly higher payload than the other hybrids). Just commenting on how off what's printed in the manual is, not complaining. I'm happy with 1475 with...
This is a relief. Why on earth does the manual not only list lower numbers, but actually lists the Trailhunter as having higher payload than the other models when it's actually the lowest? Weird, but good to see payload numbers much more in line with what was initially claimed. Nice to see a...
I'm in the Midwest region (Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota). If you are #2 in the entire Denver region and #1 at what I'm assuming is a large dealership and you got on the list in August there is NO WAY my dealer in a city with a population of 70,000 had 14 people already signed up with...
As of 4/24 I still don't have one (Trailhunter deposits at a small dealer in a rural area+medium dealer in mid size city). I posted this info in other threads, but to summarize some info I have heard from my sales guys:
-Breakdown of colors in my region (based on only 20 trucks allocated at...
I was trying to explain the benefits of the hybrid outside of acceleration (because you asked) and you TLDRed me. I couldn't care less if people get hybrids or not. I have owned one hybrid and about 15 non hybrids. Had you asked "what are the benefits of a non-hybrid?" I would have some thoughts...
My apologies for answering the question you literally asked in a thread that I started.
Toyota engineers while spending millions of dollars designing the hybrid system that will be put into countless vehicles and mandatory in all of their top trim products: "Hey guys, don't overthink this...
With the hybrid, it isn't so much that the added MPG is amazing or the added acceleration is amazing, it's that you are getting much improved power numbers while still achieving improved MPG. Toyota could have gone the Prius route and added no power but improved MPG, or gone the Ranger Raptor...
