GV 80 C is a sexy beast. Cant wait for new Tacoma. Was a Toyota / Lexus person for 25 years. 3 tacomas 2 tundra 2 camry 1 celiac 1 mr2 spyder 1 4 runner 1 rx 300. Then i strayed 1 BMW X5 1 BMW M5 and my current car Mercedes C43 Amg. The German cars drive great and are fun when working, Otherwise they eat your money when the warranty runs out. Toyota/Lexus give me a reason to return... Besides reliability ....

I’d skip the hybrid set up, but keep the turbo. With that said, I think Toyota would be smart to call one of their set ups the 24R and 24 RE for the turbo and turbo electric hybrid. Just a throwback to the legendary 22R(E)s of the 80s and 90s.

@melissamonfort6539

Funny- the 22RE was 2366cc and the T24A-FTS is 2394cc. It's nearly the exact same engine which is why I think it will be a great engine. It's abasically a turbo charges 22RE.

I would tike to see an option for a tacoma with a hybird setup for fuel mileage like the Hylander setup with less towing capability. Not everyone needs to tow a lot of weight,like approx 4 or 5000 lbs, but an efficient people mover with a box to carry some items. Kind of like a do it all ….light duty pickup that’s great on fuel.

@melissamonfort6539

Just change the rear differential. You'll lose some towing capability but gain fuel economy.

Never been a fan of the Crossover coupes. Some angles you could be convinced: maybe this isn't an assault to my retinas. But then when you get up close and behind one of the large BMW or Mercedes ones at a stoplight and the license plate is at your eye level, the facade of any sportiness just falls away. Without being low to the ground, and being so huge, they just seem goofy. If I ever considered owning an SUV, I'd rather take the extra space of a normal SUV form factor. All that said, this looks the best of the ones I've seen. I think the rear roof spoiler helps. Dig the orange too.

Look beautifully. Bring it on Toyota!

My biggest concern in Transmission, they NEED to keep the Manual around! I know they can’t throw it in the Iforce max, but keep it as an option in the 4cyl and 4cyl turbo!

Pretty disappointed that the reveal isn’t today

I agreed overall looks great, yes, the below front grill black 'electrical tapes' tack-on and the fender side lights bar are too much line. one last thing is the orange racing seats... if they used carbon fiber that would be awesome. Thanks Kirk.

Im confused as to how the i4 turbo has the same mpg as the current tacoma. Can someone explain.

Nice

When did a coupe become a 4 door? Or is that now a term for a sloped roof suv?

They should just put the sienna engine in the tacoma and hopefully we get 35-36mpg combined.

Maybe they'll come out with a 3.5 Iforce Max performance version. Yeah I know given Toyota's past they won't. The TRD Pro will be the top model with the 2.4 turbo or Iforce Max. It would be nice for Toyota to have a Tundra or Tacoma raptor killer.

Is this Toyota's Taco Tuesday reveal?! Because if this teaser is it, it's really lame! Just reveal the whole darn thing, Toyota! 😅

I hope the hybrid pushes it over 6000 lbs GVWR so it qualifies for the tax deduction. I also hope they offer a 6ft bed as an option. We shall see. GM disappointed me with the 5’2” Barbie bed on the Colorado.

Okay 👍

They better have improved the tacoma's tow rating to more than 6500. The new Ranger and GM midsized are all 7500+.

Tacoma Prime would be the greatest vehicle on sale today along with the RAV4 Prime. I just want a smallish pickup with the ability to go 50 or so miles on battery alone. This will NEVER happen but a boy can dream.

5.10.23

I think the new 2024 Tacoma will have the same engine as the Crown Platinum with the 2.4L HYBRID MAX with 340HP

1.6 litre twin turbo mild hybrid.

The OLD Ford Ranger tows 7500. The new Ranger appears in July this year. I think Toyota is struggling. BUT, are we seeing something that will be found in the new 2025 4Runner ?

Oh, I hope they will offer one of the trim levels with a manual tranny still. Combine that with 4x4 and I’m in.

Sure new Powertrains and platforms will make them less reliable, but I’m confident it will be most reliable in class (or second to Ridgeline)

Please, tell Toyota that, apart from reliability, power matters. Lexus lx 600 should be doing over 600 horse power

Is the only thing that separates this iForce Max from a “Hybrid Max”, such as what’s in the Crown, is the torque number? …Because I know the Crown has 340hp, a 6 speed AT, and not as much torque…

The only thing that is the same is the 2.4t engine. They turn it 90 degrees so it's longitudinal for the truck F platform. E-Motor, Transmission, battery, driveshaft is all different in iforcemax vs hybrid max.

Kirk, I hate to see the 2TR-FE 2.7 leave our market but I appreciate the imagination used in the A25A-FKS engine speculation. I don't think it will happen but it is a sensible proposal. Thank goodness we got our made in USA Tacoma with a real 4.0 V6 truck engine . The generic 2GR-FKS 3.5 V6 with the 6 speed automatic has never matched the reliability or suitability of the 1GR-FE with the 5 speed. 😁

What would be a home run for me would be if they launched this new vehicle with the new solid state battery and it was able to get some awesome Mpg!

I’m Australian and I think Tacoma is Hilux here? If you ask someone from my country, Africa or the Middle East they’re some of the toughest vehicles on the planet. Over a million miles if you service by the book but they can also soldier in to the high hundred thousands when brutally abused. We have mostly Hiace at work but we have a few new Camrys too and as good as they are, from a sample size of around 25 workers so far 100% of agree they’re equally awkward and uncomfortable to drive from my 6’4” to one worker at 5’3”. Awkward, bulky interior.

Hilux is a different truck, more rugged, simpler, but not as good looking. Hilux is not sold in the USA due to the Chicken Tax.

They need to start thinking about electric. Or a hybrid with more that 35mpg

Taco Tuesday? More like Tacoma Tuesday! I'm excited for when the new Tacoma is revealed and I suspect that it's basically a hint as to what the new 4Runner could look like.

Interior! We need to see the interior. A roomer backseat will sell it for a lot of us. The past gens was just too small of a cabin for a daily driver/family hauler.

So… no iForce Max V6 to go against the Raptor Ranger? Damn 😒 I got super excited. Very disappointed.

I'd love to have a plug-in hybrid Tacoma, with 400+ ft/lbs of torque & a solid state battery. Include electric access from the bed to power electronics when camping/overlanding. Maybe by 2025?? That would be my dream truck.

Will it be the most reliable? I didn't buy my tacoma for power, I bought it for utility and reliability. No one is breaking any speed records or hauling a 5th wheel with a taco truck.

Every Genesis I'v seen in person looks dirty, its like they are bought because of their price, not quality. They remind me of old LG phones

Do the fuel savings calculation for a Camry hybrid over 10 years assuming 12,000 miles per year or 120,000 miles total. Difference in fuel economy is 31 vs 46 mpg. You save 1,262 gallons of fuel x $3 = $3,800. But find it hard to believe a hybrid battery only lasts that long and would like to know more about your example I have spoken with taxi drivers with Prius and battery lasts at least 200K. In the end cost of ownership is much better with hybrid its just that the money you are saving along the way needs to be accounted for. Plus, there is essentially no automatic transmission to wear out on a hybrid and that ecpense is avoided. If you don't drive many miles a year then a hybrid is bad investment.

I think tuning the Tacoma hybrid for power vice gas mileage is a mistake just like I believe it was a mistake in the Tundra. With Russian oil off the Western World’s markets and oil production peaked in the US gasoline isn’t getting cheaper. I have a Cyber Truck reserved if we don’t get a Tacoma or Tundra hybrid tuned for gas mileage I will probably go with the Cyber Truck.

Toyota is pretty conservative when it comes to innovation. Not really expecting world beating numbers
