    Usually the he Tacoma holds its value better when than Chevy.
    What people usually never tell you is insurance is also a lot more higher for that reason.
    I own a 24 zr2 my insurance is 130
    My brother has a Tacoma TRD 340 insurance
    I have a Chevy Camaro zl1 $130 insurance
    Girlfriend has a Toyota Camry $ 200 insurance.
    I may be wrong, but insurance will charge more money if they know they got to pay out more money.

    Toyota has lost their minds with pricing across their entire lineup. I was saving for a Tacoma and Supra for years, but have now fully abandoned wanting them because of how badly prices have gotten. I ended up buying a ZR2 about a month ago and have loved it without any issues. I'll also be looking for a C8 instead of a supra since its only a tiny bit more expensive but alot better.

    It appears Toyota has forgot what got them to “The Show”: Reasonable pricing and exceptional reliability and simple engineering. The current Gen Tundra has shown to be super expensive and with a serious flaw in reliability. Nothing worse than choosing an off-roader that you can’t trust. That’s why I’m sticking with my 2.5 gen Tundra and 200 series Land Cruiser. I could be proven wrong over time, I’ll be on the sidelines until it decided one way or another.

    After owning both the Toyota 3rd Gen Tacoma and a Colorado 18,20 & 22 Bison when I was in the market for a personal midsize truck I went with the Toyota. (They cost the same but just personal preference) both are great trucks but I just could not take a chance on GM at this point. I had SO many issues with my Colorado’s it was unreal.

It was back in the shop every week with something new. I traded it in for a 2021 Tacoma and had zero problems with it until unfortunately my son totaled it after hydroplaning into a center divide. So now my dilemma is to buy the 4th gen Taco or go back to Chevy? 😓

      Leaf springs are a proven suspension design that Toyota used right up until 2024. Nothing wild about leaf springs. What is wild is that the Tacoma used drum brakes up until now. 19th century brake tech.
      That multi-link is cool until the bushings start squeaking and wear out, and links corrode and break, and then handling gets sloppy.
