I personally believe that the pricing is the number one reason, especially if you want a mid-range or upper trim Tacoma. How many people do you think can afford a $1400+ monthly payment? I do not also like the lack of rear A/C vents and how cramped the second row is. Other than that, Toyota Tacoma is a much, much better truck than the previous generation. With this high prices, no one will be able to sell vehicles as they used to. While Toyota has a good customer base that can justify the higher price, but this is up to a point, I think Toyota has crossed that line. I am a Toyota fan, but I would not buy a Tacoma if it was not at least 10k off MSRP for the mid-trim like the TRD-Off road with the premium package, and at least 15k off for the TRD Pro and the other top trim.

Toyota needs to realize that most truck people are not looking for a high RPM hotrod. We want a reliable, torque, and strong truck. My old four liter v six was that. I won't be buying a new truck. Give me what I want or someone else will.

Excellent, honest video. Most Tacoma and Tundra videos claim that everything will turn out OK. My attitude is, "You be the guinea pig." I wouldn't touch either truck for at least two more years. Also, a price cut would be in order.

Asking Tundra prices for a Tacoma I believe is the main reason. Ranger Raptor is like $10k cheaper than a Tacoma TRD Pro and it has way more horsepower.

I'm in Vancouver, Canada. I've owned a 2011 TRD I bought brand new in 2010. 4L V6, Not a single issue. Routine maintenance only, 220,000 miles. When the 2024 was revealed, I was ready to trade mine in. Until I saw a new TRD PRO would cost me MSRP $83,000. With tax, $92,000. I'm keeping my 2011. Toyota can stick it.

Don't forget the delivery delays. They were several months late due to EPA certification issues. I was seriously looking at ordering a TRD Off Road. However, using the Web Site build & price app, I couldn't keep it under $50K. If I wanted a bit more it was getting kinda pricey. Various attempts ended up around $53K. Even w/ the pricing craziness lately, buying a moderately configured midsized truck shouldn't water your eyes that badly. The Turbo engine was kind of of a negative. I was driving a 2021 Ranger at the time and I just never learned to love that engine. It was a turd if you caught it off boost. I can't imagine that Toyota would be able to execute it that much better. I hated the indecisive 10 speed as well, but that's another story. So, I ended up buying a 2024 Frontier PRO4x. It's not without it's own issues. My biggest annoyance was the premium package. I had to skip it it because the sunroof steals too much headroom, I'm 6'3". It doesn't have all the fancy off-road gadgetry. Other than that, it's great. especially the nice torquey (non-turbo) V6. FWIW, the mileage is better than I expected - better than the Ranger. Oh, and the price was thousands less than the Toyota. Sure, it's not quite as sophisticated or tech laden, but it's more than sufficient. I'm happy with the choice I made. What's more is that I'm seeing a lot more new (22+) Frontiers running locally than I used to. They were really uncommon before. I think that Toyota's misstep/loss has become Nissan's gain.

its so fun that people think toyota just whipped this engine up for the 2024 tacoma. Toyota has been using this engine for years in other toyota and Lexus models. This engine has been very reliable for toyota over the years.

A reliable car engine isn’t something you’d want to just move into a truck that tows twice its weight

People only talk about the price. Before 2020, a sheetrock drywall cost $10 to 11, now it costs almost 17, everything has increased in price...Tacomas has always existed with a 4-cylinder engine

I owned a 2007 Tacoma 4x4. What a wonderful truck and it could haul my 6000 lb travel trailer without breaking a sweat. I curse the fool who totaled me out. Also bought a 2008 Tundra 4x4 because I needed its 11000+ towing capacity. That Tundra has been flawless except for needing to replace the serpentine belt tensioner. I’m 78 and expect the Tundra to outlive me and become a family heirloom. Had a current gen Tacoma as a rental a few years back and it was disappointing and would not buy. Been following the rocky history of the V6 Tundra and sketchy omens about the next gen Tacomas and 4Runner and would not buy any of them. Have had the itch for a few years for the 5th gen 4Runner and bought one before end of availability. Love it. I now consider myself a future non-buyer of Toyota trucks. Also hate any brand vehicle with bolt on tablet displays. Thus ends my rant.

For the last 25 years all the hype over new tuck models couldn't be more irrelevant to me: I don't tow. I don't go off-road. I don't race the 1/4 mile. I don't like the concept of turbos. I only want an attractive, comfortable truck that has decent mileage, and can go years and years w/o breaking down. Am I in the minority? Does the truck owner majority pull utility trailers loaded with concrete blocks through Baja at 70 mph?

I have the 2022 Taco SR5 2WD, nice and smooth, I put less than 25k on it and religiously change oil at every 4.5k miles.Test drove the 2024 SR5 4x4, nice peppy and quick, I think I’m gonna wait as well as go check out the 2024 Frontier.

Clay3580-it’s “too” expensive. Second grade spelling error buddy.

Well, personally, I’m an old Mopar guy looking for an overlander. Obviously I went for jeep first. After understanding the stalantis horseshit, I went to Toyota. The allocation model, the dealer markups and outright rarity of anything on any dealer lot, I was forced to look at Ford and Chevy for the first time in my existence. It’s really as easy as that. I never drove one, I never got past the sales experience to even look further into the vehicle and its functionality and its performance. Look at Toyota as unobtainiam.

Toyota has officially shot themselves in the foot with the new Tacoma, and Tundra as well. I have been loyal to the brand since 1986, but there's no way I will purchase either of these vehicles.

Folks are scared of the engine

Saw a 24 TRD OFF-ROAD 4x4 for $42000 yesterday. The 2024 Tundra capstone was $80000 😅

The price is the main reason for me! That’s why I bought the 23 TRD off road 4x4. ! I never liked turbo engines any kind,anyway because they need more attention to the engine but one thing I have to mention is most Tacoma owners don’t tow a lot of stuff !

Everyone wants the V6 that consumes 11 mpg

Way too expensive for a small truck. Body design is terrible, go look at the side profile of the new Tacoma in person. The area in front of the rear wheels looks terrible, it looks dented to shit because of the bodywork design. And then there’s wheels and tires. Toyota did like most brands do and put smooth riding tires on them so people experience a smooth test drive. But anyone who would buy one of these trucks is also going to want to at minimum replace the tires with more off-road bias tires. If not change the wheels also. The 4x4 models start at $45k at my local dealer and with these wheels and tires they look like cheap fleet work trucks. I’ll keep my Highlander and Camry and continue renting trucks from Home Depot when I occasionally need one.

ALL Toyota Autos Are Getting Out Of Hand In Prices! No One Can Afford It! There No V6 On The Toyota Tacoma

A Ranger Raptor is cheaper than the trd off road and the ranger has a three liter turbo v-6 with way more power. The old 3.5 v6 and transmission were a dog and had the same fuel economy as an f150 with a five liter v-8

need a 4.0l v8 mpg will be just fine as fuel= weight equals movement hence why a corvette can get great Mpg

Price and its moar bro-dozer over the top styling. Oh yeah, I don't want a turbo either.

The primary reason is price, the rest pail in comparison. The TRD-PRO and 4runner TRD-PRO are $18k-$20k more expensive than the previous year. That is all that really matters. The motor is a let down, the hybrid is too expensive, the price is too much. A Sr5 Premium TRD-off road is more expensive than my 22 tundrea TRD-Off road.
