So this lower end trim model was at $46,000 with options. That tells me that mid-trim levels will be in the $50's, with your high end trim models running up to $60 or $65k. And will the dealers tack on another $5k? I wouldn't be surprised if they do. They'll still sell a bunch due to the fancy new styling, reputation for durability and host of other improvements. But, for the price they are asking you can get a nicely optioned full size truck, which I think is what I'd do.

While the Toyota turbo 4 cylinder will probably be more reliable than most turbo 4-cylinders, I doubt it will be as reliable as the 6 cylinder that has been used for the last century. No doubt the new 4Runner will have the turbo 4 cylinder as well. In the 4Runner's case updating the automatic transmission to an 8-spd automatic would have made close to the same mileage gains as switching to the 4 cylinder turbo. Yes, I know the turbo 4 makes more power, but it has to be spooled up to realize that power. I wish they had kept the 6 cylinder as a no-cost option or made the turbo 4 an extra cost option and kept the price of the truck down seeing as how it seems to have increased by $4000.

Im glad i got the 23 colorado trail boss for around $40k when it came out with options. It is just better performing and more capable, the tech is just as good also. 12k miles in love the colorado. I had high hopes for the tacoma but my goodness the price is out of this world for the performance and capabaility.

People also need to be more vocal on car channels to be pushing back on things we don't want or we will be having crap going forward. The manufactures do look at comments to see what people think, for how much vehicle's cost now we do not need them telling us what we think we would like versus what we want.

@@DrivenCarReviewsFair enough. Per your repeated suggestions, I watched on the big-screen TV where description and comments are accessible but not prominent.

Herb Alpert is 88 now; can he still produce sound out of a trumpet (laughing)?

I am seeing Tundra SR5 4x4 3.4 v6 for under $50k. Why do some of these still have cart springs? The sell for my family would be the manual transmission, but that limits other options, like trim, cab, and bed length. At least they aren't only offering manual with the lowest trim and features. Manual transmission was driven out of the mainstream by locking out other features, like a decent radio, or A/C, or CD player. I'd always rather chew my own food, as it were.

If ur complaining abt price…that’s just what new trucks cost today.

How is that 7' guy goin to fit in it?

Does the 2024 Tacoma have “automatic start/stop”?

Toyota has the coolest name for an essential level vehicle with SR5.

Did he say the affordable sr5 for $42,000?

$46000 SR5and STILL has leaf springs. LOL. I guess we are lucky to get rear disc brakes in 2024.

The top engineer will be driving in a HEARST soon
