I just bought a 2023 TRD Pro. Awesome truck and no turbos.

So glad I bought my '23 TRD Sport Access Cab V6 back in December. I wanted the 3rd gen truck and did not want to deal with a 4 cyl turbo. Plus I love the interior and exterior design on the 3rd gen. I drove ALL of the midsize and full size truck offerings from all of the manufacturers when I drove for a rental car company for 3 years. The current Tacoma is the best of the midsizers hands down.

Hang on to it. An oldie but a goodie! At least for me, it’s just a reliable and worry free ownership experience. I get it, there are more technologically advanced trucks in the market with bells and whistles galore. But, I know I can get to work, play a little, and even take the kiddos to school without ever having to worry about BS warning lights and gremlins. And, it looks super cool even from an older guy’s prospective like myself. I sold my Raptor, bought a Tacoma and haven’t looked back!!!

Yes, but that was in late 2019. It was a 2018 model. I couldn’t live with it being such a difficult vehicle to park, to include my garage. That said, if those conundrum’s don’t bother you, a Raptor is still one the baddest trucks on the planet. For me, my Tacoma TRD pro was simply easier to live with. I sincerely chose that over the the sportiness and power that Raptor was superior in.

I just sold my 21 Ford f-150 and bought a 23 Tacoma I love it I should purchase a Tacoma a long time ago

Everything you just said makes me want to get a Tacoma before 2024…

So what happens when the turbo fails or quickly wears out? Or have to replace a battery in the hybrid?……..I’ll stick with a ‘23 thanks.

I ran out and bought a 2022 Trd off-road and put the Toyota 2 inch lift on it with a slightly oversized BF good rich all-terrain. It is literally the perfect truck. A great commuter and great off-road. Dead balls, reliable too!

I’m getting a 2023. I’ve got a 2016 4Runner and Never had a problem with it. It has always got me where I want to go and got me home The last thing I want is new unproven tech out in the Montana backcountry. I like the Tundra. But for small roads that turning radius makes a difference.

id rather not deal with all the new electronic stuff and extra complication, a vehicle like this is gonna be real rare soon.

My 2022 SR5 4x4 long box came in at the end of October 2022 (ordered it in may 2022) Very glad I got it. It uses about 25% less fuel than the 5.0 F-150 I was driving everyday at the time (still have the F-150 as well)

Honestly.. I would still buy this current gen Tacoma, bulletproof v6, reliability, this thing will last hundreds of thousands of miles. Only difference I would make is to get a manual transmission on this bad boy.

I absolutely Love my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. I purposely bought the 23 because I DONT EVER want to own a Turbo . Historically a Turbo engine simply doesn’t last as long as a Naturally Aspirated engine.

The problem with new Generations, is that there are usually bugs to work out. I am however very curious to see what engine go`s in the new Taco

I *LOVE* Tacoma's! I still have my 03, but I just bought a 23' Titan, and it's ridiculously fun. $50K is _waayyyy_ too much for this truck, but I bet it holds it value within the years to come

No idea why they are getting rid of the V6. Just bought the 2023.

I always wanted the Tacoma crew cab. I plan on buying one next year and I have really no need for the Tundra. I wasn't sure if on the color but that Tacoma you have is a good looking. I say keep it.

I heard a "rumor" that there may not be a V6 after 2023 so I panicked and pick up my new Taco Sport next week (two week wait) in Lunar Rock color and had to have a moonroof. No need to suffer through their usual growing pains for a year or two with a major change like they are planning for 2024.

What do you mean 2016, that body style has been around since 2005. All that was done, they change the front grille and the interior and the engine. Now we have to wait another year for a whole new look. Electric Tacoma pickup truck, keep it. Nothing better than a gas powered pickup truck like my old 1989 Toyota extended cab pickup.

50k is outlandish for a mid size truck. I traded a 2019 Tacoma for a 2020 F150 just because it was too small. Anyone over 6 foot with long legs is not going to be comfortable with that truck. Tundra is the better choice from Toyota.
