4th Gen Tacoma

[drb77]

I understand that there aren't too many 4th-gen Tacoma owners on this forum who care to discuss the particulars of these new models.
That said, is there enough interest to start a thread solely to discuss modifications, improvements, and characteristics relative only to the 2024+ Tacoma's?

Imo, toyota brought back the gen1 tundra....modernized it to meet the epa specs of today, and now call it a tacoma. In reality its a baby tundra.

Just came back from a local toyota dealer after taking a test drive in a new gen4 taco. They're a nice riding truck, with slightly more low end than my current gen3 puts out. Overall, auto transmission shifting felt similar just a couple more gears. The led screen is humungous, first thing I noticed sitting in the cab, plus the seating was better in this truck vs the gen3. Other than that I'm not giving up my gen3 for one anytime soon.

Wife is 5'3'' so it would make it easier for her.

While I didn't check out the gen4 tailgates....they remind me of being stolen off a gmc canyon.
These older gen3 tacoma tailgates are so light, I swear they feel like made from tinfoil. I could see a motorized tailgate on a full size truck, but it certainly wouldn't be a deal breaker on these taco's. My wife has never mentioned the tailgate when using my truck a few times. Come to think of it....I don't think she's ever tried using it.

My wife uses mine all the time to put her kayak in. She hates the skewp though it makes it hard to see in front parking so we'll usually back into park no biggie

Yeah, I use the rear camera all the time when backing into a tight parking place. It's about the most useful tech in the truck....make parking child's play. I wish my old tundra came with one. I could do without the rest of the nanny bs these trucks now have.

Have you seen the price of a TRD pro?

Yep, I posted earlier in another thread that I received an email from the dealer I bought my gen3 from in boston that they had 2 of these hybrid trd pro's in stock for around that amount.
