I noticed that too. This is the only forum I frequent now for that reason. They sound like a bunch of 12 year olds crying about something that they do not really know about. Specially in person, they all act like they are the sh*t and we are a bunch dumb clucks who does not know what to do with their money. I just tend to avoid them, I am too old to participate in such drama. I do not need to justify to anyone why I bought my truck nor why I like it.
And, all these hate. 98% of them are coming from fellow Tacoma owners.
As a 2024 Tacoma owner I don’t understand the hate that this generation of truck gets. Previously I drove a 2021 f150 with the 3.5l and 10 speed automatic. This is my first midsize truck. The 8 speed automatic is a night and day difference compared to the 10 speed, I’ve never missed a shift and the 2.4l is very responsive and doesn’t feel underpowered. I’ve never driven a 3rd gen Tacoma however I have always heard that the main gripe with those trucks were the outdated materials and lack of power. It seems that this generation has addressed both concerns and provided a smoother transmission. If ford can make a 2.7 l eco boost that lasts upwards of 200k miles why are some assuming that the 2.4l will not also meet or exceed that mark? I feel that Toyota still makes the best midsize pickup and I am happy with my purchase. (Besides the trailer brake controller issue that is a huge pain in the ass)
