I purposefully bought a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. I wanted the tried and true Reliable and Durable Naturally Aspirated 3.5L V6. I’ve added the OTT and a cold air intake. My TRD now has 318 horsepower and 295 lbs ft of torque at 2,300 RPM. We were wanting to wait until 26-28 of the redesigned Tacoma until I found out that Toyota was dropping the N/A V6 and installing the 4cyl Turbo. At my age and the low mileage I drive each year, my 23 TRD will be the Last truck I’ll ever have to buy.

You say there's $10K worth of upgrades. Do you really believe their cost is 10K more? If so, you need to learn something about manufacturing and buying in bulk. Next, you say no big deal it's made in Mexico. They pay the Mexicans an equivalent of $2.80 an hour and jump the cost up about 15K on the TRD Pro. On average, the line is about 10K up. So they cheat the Mexicans, they stole American jobs and you brag about how its worth it.

All of the whiners can whine all they want. I have a 3rd gen that I will keep. Addressing the hybrid. I owned a 21 Lincoln Aviator with the hybrid. All the government folks want everyone to go EV or hybrid . What they don’t tell you is that when you go to register the vehicle , they add a surcharge to the annual renewal . The surcharge on my Lincoln was $90. The surcharge is because you don’t pay the tax at the pump because of the electric motor. That just flat made me mad. I am a 100% disabled Vet and my tags are supposed to cost me $6/year. When I saw the surcharge I just lost it. That plus the average life expectancy of a EV/hybrid battery is around 4-6 years . When you go to replace it you have to pretty much buy a new vehicle . You do what you feel is best. Yes the hybrid ups your horsepower and torque , a lot, but the surcharge was a surprise.

Thanks for your comments. Well I got a premium 4th gen off road which is loaded so can't make a direct comparison to our 2023 off road. Hard to quantify how much the new engine, transmission, suspension, rear disc brakes and safety sense 3.0 is per new Tacoma. If you haven't experienced them you will only think of the visible differences. I think when someone hears the price and automatically proclaims it is too much more is misinformed. Buy it or don't buy it but don't act like it is the same truck with only cosmetic differences. I agree that if you didn't want a Tacoma in the way it is going, it's your money and there are other options.

@planoman0935 their is definitely a difference between the two and it all does boil down to a persons expectations out of the truck. It is a better all out truck, lots of better features, and design, it's well thought out. Also technology is advancing, id rather a 4 cylinder turbo over electric at least, the smaller engines are going to only get more reliale with turbos, and no one better to make the most reliable one than toyota, so if it needs to take a year or 2 or 3 to get things dialed in, then so be it. Each brand mid size lacks something, so dependong on what you want out the truck its what you'll go for. Sadly rn price and interest rates are just inflated and that is something that no one is happy about on all ends sadly this is what orices are now. Crazy. Maybe it gets better who knows

numbers are easy to find. there are 33k tacomas available nationwide, 14k of which have been on lot 30 days or more.
Based on my observation they are the lower trims. The Sport and Off Road seems to be moving and SR5 and SR sitting. It will be interesting to see Tacoma sales for 2nd Q at end of June.
that engine looks like a rat's nest! I think i'll keep my 2021 Tacoma Sr-5....... i switched to super unleaded a couple of months ago and now I'm getting 23 to 24 mpg... more than this 4 cylinder turbo!
I also prefer Benchmade, if only for their warranty, lifetime sharpening and their designs. Kershaw has been coming out with a lot of good stuff lately, their heat treats are typically "okay".
This Launch 7 Magnacut blade is pretty sharp from the factory and hefty! 83 grams light! Kershaw also has a lifetime warranty and lifetime sharpening.
Yeah I love my mini griptillian and mini bugout but still pretty expensive for me
Toyota should have focused on the motor, body fitment instead of tech gimmicks, but hey the turbo whistles!
Really great video sir! Super helpful
it is better. it’s just not 8-15k better or more reliable. some people didn’t/don’t want the added complexity. it’s not for everybody and that’s ok.
Thanks for your comments. Well I got a premium 4th gen off road which is loaded so can't make a direct comparison to our 2023 off road. Hard to quantify how much the new engine, transmission, suspension, rear disc brakes and safety sense 3.0 is per new Tacoma. If you haven't experienced them you will only think of the visible differences. I think when someone hears the price and automatically proclaims it is too much more is misinformed. Buy it or don't buy it but don't act like it is the same truck with only cosmetic differences. I agree that if you didn't want a Tacoma in the way it is going, it's your money and there are other options.
Not saying that the truck is bad, but damn seeing all the issues and recalls with the tundra i fear that the turbo 4 is gonna be rough for some years
Well all machines can have issues. When you look at Consumers Reports reliability study 2000-2023 based on tons of surveys. Lexus is 1 and Toyota 2. They are not perfect but no American car companies were in the top 10. I put by money on Toyota.
‘24 4Runner TRD OFF-ROAD PREMIUM are a lot better than the Tacos
4Runner is not available with a double cab and 6 foot bed, so it's close to useless for many people.
@@dvader3263 When comparing the price of both to what you get from both, I still say the 4Runner is the better option. Now if you just want the open bed space and the traditional truck/bed look then ok get a Taco. If you don’t want the open bed space then 4Runner is the best choice when comparing the overall vehicle. I get it…..some want the open bed and that look but I still have plenty of room to haul things and if I need bigger than that then I use what is called a trailer.
Living and driving on daddy’s money
Hell yeah! He's my son! Who would you rather spend your money on?
@hall6ppc1. Haters gonna hate!
@hall6ppc1 jealous much ?
@@planoman0935no one better to spend your money on !
Sorry you had bad parents.
That’s a nice one. I’ve always thought these are great gifts to give due to its multi purpose functions..
Great gift idea!
As I am left-handed too, it is good to know that the Pocket 3 can be operated by left-handed people. I have a gimbal for my phone, but the buttons are placed in such a way that operating it using the left hand is very difficult.
I have a 1st Gen and a 3rd Gen and I can tell u right now I test driven a new 4 th Gen and it hands down better than the previous Gen tacomas way better and is the best looking Tacoma ever made so far
It's just way over priced.
I was also a 3rd gen.. I can’t really say anything I miss about the 3rd gen which I will get hate on for lol.. honestly to me the 4th drives better feels better and looks better .. don’t kill me KZread!! I love the v6 👍🏼
its true though, the 4th Gen is just better in every aspect, except 2 things. The Price for sure, second is the reliability concerns. We won't know about reliability until we see higher mileage, and what experiences people are having.
Can’t understand the negativity. We have both trucks in our family! I like meeting Tacoma owners of all generations. Change is inevitable . Why be negative over it? The V6 is bullet proof but sluggish. Not everyone values longevity over performance. Not everyone wants to keep their Tacoma for 10-20 years.
@@mknervy I miss the gas tank on the 3rd gen! I wonder if a larger aftermarket tank will come out. The price is a combination of improvements and higher costs and inflation. Do people actually think is cost less to make a 4th gen over a 3rd gen just because it is made in Mexico?
@planoman0935 their is definitely a difference between the two and it all does boil down to a persons expectations out of the truck. It is a better all out truck, lots of better features, and design, it's well thought out. Also technology is advancing, id rather a 4 cylinder turbo over electric at least, the smaller engines are going to only get more reliale with turbos, and no one better to make the most reliable one than toyota, so if it needs to take a year or 2 or 3 to get things dialed in, then so be it. Each brand mid size lacks something, so dependong on what you want out the truck its what you'll go for. Sadly rn price and interest rates are just inflated and that is something that no one is happy about on all ends sadly this is what orices are now. Crazy. Maybe it gets better who knows
Hey, you like what you like. I personally don't like the 4th gen. I love my 21 pro. It is the last good tacoma 😅
