My wife and I decided to get a Tacoma.. did not like my Tundra.. it's gone. We waited to see the new Tacoma before we made a decision on new or the real deal previous model. We waited to late. Absolutely did not like the new Tacoma.. and The dealer was out of the 23s and the used Tacomas were at new car prices. I will have to be satisfied with my 5 speed manual gearbox 2000 4 Runner with 235K miles and no issues. After 12 Toyotas.. they have lost me with lower quality and 0bsecne greed . 4 Cyl turbo in a truck.. sounds like something Chrysler would do.

Glad you love your Tacoma. In spite of what you might think some of us actually hope we are wrong about the new Tacoma. But the Tundra issue makes the release of this new truck cast in a shadow of doubt on all their technical and manufacturing capabilities. Glad to admit I am wrong when you and vast majority of Tacomas actually hit 150.000 trouble-free miles. Good luck.

People are anxious to talk smack about Toyota. They've been so well known for building quality and reliability for so many years that haters can't wait to hate. I'm no hater of Toyota. Unfortunately, they have lost my full confidence in their products today. I question if Toyota will be the product worth buying now.

​@@williammiller6422 That must be why so many former Taco men have bought a Frontier and love it. As if soft Taco does not also have cheap plastic and small back seat. Frontier has never had a weak FRAME ,which is rather important, and has been extremely RELIABLE for years, which is a big deal, and doesn't torture taller drivers with an uncomfortable FRONT seating position, which is a little mire important than the back seat. Soft Taco fanboys always conveniently FORGET to bring up the Taco white elephant issues in the room. Like the famous gear-hunter transmission.

I just cancelled my 2025 TRD Pro. Toyota doesn’t pass the smell taste anymore.

A new Ranger or Colorado is just a better value now. A TRD ORP or sport costs 55k. A fully loaded ZR2 is 55k. A Ranger Raptor is only 4k more. Those trucks are TRD pro competition. The Pro is 65k without the mark-ups which are already showing up. Already up to 80k! There's no way to justify it.

@hochhaul

When the 3rd gen TRD Pro came out 7 years ago, it started at $42k and odds were it was built in Texas. Today a TRD Pro starts at around $65k, basically doesn't have rear seats and is definitely made in Mexico by people making $2/hour.

I was looking at the new Tacomas and Tundras last Wednesday and the Tundra TRD in Luna color was the same price of the Tacoma trd,, That shouldn't be.

Spectacular performance Rob. Sarcasm to the max! Regarding the turbo. I had an 06 PT Cruiser GT. The GT has a High Output Turbo 4 exclusive to the GT. I sold it with 289,000 miles on it and never had any problems with the turbo powerplant. It was a pure joy to drive with outstanding power and torque. I sold it to a friend who uses it as a Mail route car now. It now has over 300,000 miles on it and still no issues with the turbo engine. Personally, I'd much rather have the turbo 4 in the Tacoma than the old lethargic V6. If Chrysler can build a turbo 4 that goes over 300,000 miles, how much more so can Toyota.
