    I got the TRD Upgrade package, not Premium. Mine also came with the JBL system & 14” display. Even that was outside my price range, and it was only with good discounting from the dealer that I was able to make it work. I’d have loved the moonroof and all the extra cameras, but spending more was just out of my reach. I’m very happy with what I got.

    This is the perfect video for me, I’m already set on the premium package and am waiting for the dealership to get one in with PP and the color I’m looking for. They have many on the lot right now w/o the PP, where I’m at most dealers do, but they don’t have any with the PP within about 50 miles from me.

    Besides the acoustical glass in the Premium Package you get the sound insulation pad on the underside of the hood. That also helps manage the noise.

    I purchased a Sport Premium . Awesome truck, well worth the premium package. I also own a ‘21 sport pretty well loaded. New truck is many times the better truck. In my opinion Toyota hit this one out of the park . To all the whiners, If you can’t afford a new truck , quit whining and get a better job.

    If I was looking at a 24 Tacoma , I would definitely get the OR w/PP . I didnt relaize all those options you went over in your video came with the new Tacoma.
    I have a 23 Pro and alot of that camera tech would be nice along with big screen. 😅
    We picked up a 24 Rubicon X instead to getting a 24 Tacoma. Absolutely love this 24 Jeep with the 35's.

      I feel your frustration! I've been searching for an Off Road, Premium Package with 6' bed in Ice Cap. None in Texas has one or any future allocation for one in the future. Finally found one near Nashville and it's supposed to be here by 12 September. Had to settle for Underground though. Good luck, hope you get one soon.

    Will the camera based rear view mirror work if you have a cap + tent on your taco?

    • @BenInBeta
      @BenInBeta  3 місяці тому

      As long as you don't block the camera above the rear window. Mine still works with my rack and tent on top of that. If you have a cap with windows in the front and back, it may still work. There are also camera relocation kits I believe.

      Well, I paid 53000 for my off road and the Raptor wasn't available when I bought mine. Also it'd be months before I got one if I ordered one now. But a Raptor is a cool truck and a solid value. If there's not a mark-up.

      @@datkinegaming maybe I’m biased. I walk around my neighborhood looking at older cars. I have a gen2 taco from 2006. It’s not perfect but in good shape. I look at fords and GMs from roughly the same period and they look like crap, paint coming off, etc
      I guess because I keep my cars 10-20 years I question how other trucks would hold up. Then again maybe Toyota isn’t any good anymore too.

      Do your homework. A raptor will cost $650-700 more in fuel cost per year, each year you own it. It is a great truck but I don't need a sport truck, my Tacoma is just fine. Not to mention finding one without a markup right now.
