Hi Kirk, do you know what models or cars of Lexus that uses the same engine/transmission that the new Taco has? And how long have they been using it? Or is this drivetrain totally new with Toyota/Lexus?

Could a bench seat to fit three people be brought back? Move the shifter and storage to the dash area, add sufficient air bag protections?

Although I like the design of the new '24 Tacoma's, I think the Frontier with the rear doors access cab is more convenient for me.

My old 2003 ford ranger extended cab had little doors to have more access to the rear cab why do I have to fold down the seat to access it?

Holy cow how much the prices have gone up in just 3 years. 4k mark up

Roughly 54% of the engine is the same as the Grand Highlander. The rest is rebuilt or redesigned to be in a pickup. Definitely doesn’t sound the same as in the GH.

You had to climb over the front seat just to open that plastic box that took the place of the small seats in the back and the reason for that, which you forgot to mention, Toyota did away with the rear access doors. Let’s see, if you had a heavy tool box back there how easy will it be to remove it? The truck looks great on the outside but inside not so much. That dashboard instrument panel looks cheap and the price for this truck is getting too high sure like everything else today but this is suppose to be their cheaper model. Again,Toyota made a big mistake doing away with the rear access doors of course to save money and at the same time raise the price. I’ll pass on this new Tacoma and I’ll just hold on to my old 1989 Toyota extended cab pickup. Let’s hope Toyota will bring the access doors back. Nissan was smart enough to keep the access doors on their Frontier King cab.

If you are someone you know is getting the new Taco's ? Put it thru some serious stress testing as soon as you get it. Lots of hard breaking, gun it on the hwy, and put the 4 wheel drive thru everything you can through at it. If you plan on towing? Do it as soon as you get it. Don't wait. The new Tacos are having problems with differentials, transmissions, turbos, and software. In warranty its no problem to get fixed but out of warranty and you could be looking at many 10's of thousands of dollars depending on how greedy your local dealer is. But to be honest, anyone buying any new truck from any brand should do this as soon as they get that bad boy. They are all being made kind of shoddy now a days.

I think its a huge mistake not having the rear doors open.

No problem removing rear seats. But they should have left the doors for access.

They could of at least put one rear access door on the passenger side.

228hp-243 lb-ft ?

Ahh so the TFL folks are wrong in the cheapest trim for 4x4--theirs was an SR 4x4 but double cab--which was 41-45k I believe. I rather have an xtracab bc I like my access cab now and it fits me first fine. No kids no extra passenger except my dogs.

Pricing for a USA Manual/MT more money . In Australia the auto is 2800 $ more expensive than a M/T

Hahah no look under the hood that is like a maze of pipes and tubes !

Now how do I get my dog into the extra cab behind the front seat? Toyota really screwed up by not having the rear of the cab open up. Another thing; Toyota is touting that the new Tacoma gets 20mpg on the highway traveling at 65mph. Our 11 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4WD with the 4.0L V6 and the 5spd automatic transmission with 3.55 gears and limited slip differential with the tow pkg get 23mpg with the cruise set on 75mph. Yes I added a K&N intake and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust. So why would I want to spend $35K - $50K, ($55-60K for the hybrid), when our almost 13 year old Ford Ranger gets Better fuel mileage? That’s like wiping before you poop. It makes no sense.

I like the access cab but missing one thing The manual transmission that’s the biggest mistake Toyota made discontinue manual transmission and access cab

They would have been better off updating the 3.5 v6 making it like 290 hp and the 8 speed auto. Maybe the 2.4 turbo 228hp for the base engine still.

Man i hope they don't do that for the Hilux eliminating the doors and the seats at the back
