Updated 2/9/24 with delivered photos & first impressions / review
I put around 50 miles on my truck today while doing odds & ends, and just cruising. The frame on the 24 really does feel stiffer, and I loved the way that it tracked and kept its composure while driving through some of the shittiest roads we have available.
To me, the truck feels bigger when behind the wheel vs. the 3rd Gen Tacoma. We already know that it is, spec sheets have given us the width and wheelbase numbers for some time now, but I was curious as to how much it would really stand out to me. Quite frankly, it's obvious, and I like it.
Lots of nice people today complimented me on it. One guy stopped me while I was walking out of a gas station. During our conversation, he called the truck a Tundra twice, and I didn't correct him, it looks like a Tundra.
For the engine and transmission, they're great, and mashing the gas pedal while going slow or leaving from a dead stop is such a huge improvement. On the highway though, if you're already moving quickly and mash on the gas, you'll find out like I did that the previous Gen's V6 does that better. In my opinion anyway.
I'm going to try and make a video tomorrow talking about other things on the truck.
Original post 2/6/24:
I put a $500 hold on a Solar Octane TRD OR from Jim Norton Toyota in Oklahoma City, they told me to expect it in late February/early March.
My sales person called me today and told me they have my truck on the lot waiting for me. I suspect that they pulled it from their second dealership in Tulsa, but I dunno. Anyway, I'm picking it up on Thursday since I have that day off from work.
From the photos my salesperson sent me, the truck has no chin spoiler installed, so that's a plus!
