- Why aren’t new 2024 Toyota Tacomas not selling? You mean to tell me, people aren’t interested in spending over $50K for a 4 cylinder midsize pickup truck? You mean to tell me people aren’t buying into overpriced pickups made in Mexico? And you mean to tell me, people aren’t buying into Toyota’s new woke-culture BS? Hmm fascinating.
We saw it first with the new 2022-2024 Tundra, people haven’t wanted it. It’s overpriced, offers a complex smaller displacement motor and comes with a slew of issues. Toyota is no longer the king of reliable. Sorry fam. People are voting with their wallets… and they’re saying NO to this 2.4L 4 banger Tacoma. Hard pass.
Did I miss anything?
Thanks for watching as always. Please consider Liking and Subscribing for more videos of me shooting you straight. I won’t fanboy or simp for the brand. I woke you all that!
-Stay Untamed…

Sorry I misspoke a little toward the end… I’m thinking the new 6th Gen 4Runner TRD Pro will be $68-70K… since the new Tacoma TRD Pro will be over $65K. The 4Runner is generally just a little more… crazy.
The 4Runner TRD Pro will be starting at 70k, not less.
All of the dealerships in my neck-of-the-woods are loaded with vehicles. It don't matter what manufacturer. The prices and interest rates are out of most people's reach. A far smarter purchase would be with some kind of appreciating real estate.
@@LivingRetirementisn’t that just insane? Smh 🤦♂️
@@UntamedMotors I had a 23’ Trd pro 4Runner in magnetic gray that I put just barely 8000 miles on it that I owned for 8 months, traded it in for a 24’ Trd pro 4 runner. They gave me 54,000 for my 23’ and paid 56,416 for my 24’. . The dealer has my old 23 on the lot and they are asking $57,406. How does that make any sense?
It makes sense because they need wiggle room to sell your trade in.
Failing reliability? Corporate greed? Lagging sales? Toyota is getting more American by the day.
It's ironic because American brands are becoming more like the old Toyota we all know and love.
a conspiracy can be that Ford and chevy have forced toyota into this so they can sell more units lol.
The resale value of vehicles is high so they are charging more for vehicles to offset the difference, but the higher prices end up sitting on the lots longer!~
@@jjpark1989really??????? reliability is still crap.
@@providentpathfinders219everything is crap nowadays.
We need to send a message to Toyota. You can KEEP your 2024 Tacoma’s!
And 4Runners and Land Cruiser (Lites) AKA Prados.
Why did you use an apostrophe to pluralize a word?
And what answer are you going to give to Honda which sells as expensive as Toyota ?
you send them that message! you tell em good! 😂😂😂
@@foxgoodI saw a brand new ridgeline black for sale at a dealer ship in my area of PA for 43k fully loaded, the base price for a trd pro Tacoma is 65k basic trims I see for 50+. Put the pipe down 😂🤡
A $60,000 truck with a 4 cylinder engine worth about $1,000. Nope.
Frontier with a naturally aspirated v6 is almost $30k cheaper. Does Toyota think tacoma owners just got a huge pay promotion? I plan on replacing my truck in the next two years so hopefully they would get their act together by then as those prices are out of range of practicality.

Welcome to Biden’s America
@@awdobsession717Biden doesn’t dictate Toyotas pricing.
@@nofightingnolife7368
They also said Biden didn't dictate gas prices while shutting down drilling and refining.
America should get rid of dealers that do price gouging and let the people buy directly from the manufacturer.
💯
Tesla does that but a lot of Teslas are sitting on lots and not selling. I guess the EV thing was mostly hype….
Dealers keep people from buying unless they absolutley have to. The dealer model has lowered sales simply by existing. It's such a nightmare process people avoid it at all cost.
exactly ..
$10K is not enough, more like $25-30K I'm glad people are not buying.
At least 20 grand
I love seeing people not buying overpriced trucks and cars. It’s about time the general population says “We have had enough price gouging and getting cheaper products for more money.” Go suck an egg @Toyota. I used to love your brand and was loyal but now you are just like any other American brand.
And and….the 4 cylinder turbo doesn’t get a significant MPG increase. I’m questioning the logic or the amount of greed that caused this horrible decision? It sounds like pure greed and a big middle finger to everyone who praised Toyota the past 4 decades.
@@Slammingutz The crappy engines are because of the EPA. All the companies have to to do it. Still should be $35K loaded.
@@MuahManthat’s just an excuse. These engines don’t save any gas, they are anemic. Tried to tow with this and see how many MPGs you get. You’ll be lucky to see 5
Toyota is building it cheaper in Mexico and selling it for PREMIUM 😂
If trump gets back in he will tariff every vehicle coming across the border so much that they will move back to usa
Dealership greed backed by Toyota itself!
It should the other way around. A discount for having them built in Mexico.
Going to be honest I prefer my Tacoma to be build in Mexico than USA. Car manufacturer unions are crap and it reflects on quality.
San Antonio plant has pride. They took the assembly of the Tacomas away.
81k for a tundra!?! Holy shit
Cars and Bids has had some ‘20-‘23 very well-equipped Tundras for 50-60 grand. That’s the way to go.
@@Scientist_SalarianStill overpriced.
@@mayowankenobi tell me something thats not overpriced these days? A freaking corolla is about 30k.... inflation man
Fuck them turbo’s
Toyota taking the V-6 out of the Tacoma and the V-8 out of the Tundra was a HUGE mistake.
Exactly! They have no idea what America wants! I want a 6-cyl diesel pickup and or a diesel land cruiser with a solid front axel. Independent suspension sucks.
And no one wants half electric as well!
Toyota doesn't want to use them. It's the Feds forcing emissions rules on them. Toyota sells $10k pickups in the developing world that people would happily buy in the US if they could, but the Feds won't allow it.
As a 2020 Tacoma owner , the 3.5 is a gutless motor and gets subpar gas mileage too. It has to be tuned to have any type of power. Jmho
@@fwungy4285wrong. Toyota itself said it won't import the Thailand meme truck, because it would decimate Tacoma sales.
And, what are we here talking about? Tacos that cost more than an SS or GT.
Not interested in buying a tacoma anymore..
Me too
@albetherechillin almost bought one a week ago. Told them keep it. They keep calling me told them 40 out the door..
Same! They can keep them.
It was funny when checking the comments for different Tacoma review videos with the prices of the Trd pro everyone just said they left to go look at the chevy Colorado after seeing the Tacoma prices
I'm about to get the trail boss..better package .
Toyota isn’t getting my money. Toyota has let us all down Untamed
Same with GM and Ford.
I’m a huge Toyota fan, having owned both Toyota and Lexus SUV’s, but when you add together a thrashy unrefined 4 cylinder engine, high prices and fading reliability, I’m likely to shop around to other brands where in the past I would not.
It's not Toyota...it is the American way to do business...
@@johnstrand2247 so youd rather get a dodge?!
@@993mike lol.........the other brands are all junks! If anything get a 2023 toyota or older! These new Turbo's are junk along with the Price hike!!
These are not 50k trucks. I love that people are coming together and saying no with their wallets. Enough is enough from these greedy dealers.
They kinda have no choice all the free money has come to a stop. These dealers don't seem to realize the stimi money Era is over.
Oh so the dealers choose the MSRP that’s set by Toyota? Wow yeah that makes no sense.
I bought a used '12 Tundra 4x4 double cab two years ago. It has the 5.7 and was under 90k miles for $25k. I have had ZERO issues.👍
It’s really unfortunate that Toyota has put greed before quality and affordability.
I think that's the issue with all automakers today.
It's not really Toyota that is pricing it this way. They have to pay carbon credits for this vehicle and its big when its a big vehicle like this.
@@pinoyrunningpenguinWe need to stop these DUMB governments. Paying a carbon tax doesn't help the environment. Allowing innovation to happen with bureaucracy has ALWAYS led to the best advancements.
Can’t believe Toyota has become such an expensive brand.
they all have!
@@10cpaul you can get some of the smaller Nissans for pretty low prices, if you're okay with being labeled a Nissan Driver
@@jceess I have a Tacoma and love it. I did have a Nissan Xterra and really liked that as well.
@@jceessThe frontier is better than this new Tacoma by a long shot. My buddy got a pro 4x a couple years back, it’s been solid for him. I can’t remember what he paid for it but I know it was way less than these Tacomas. Also still a naturally aspirated v6 getting the same gas mileage these are 😂
The Porsche of pick ups! They hold their value unbelievably and they will be reliable, or Toyota will standby them
The Tacoma was a reliable, simple truck for regular people. Now they are packed full of tech and features no one needs and are loaded with emissions crap. No thanks. Keep it.
Mexico has 42 car makers in the country with around 500 different models being produced there. Its one of the best industries for automotive manufacturing. Whats wrong with that? I understand the sentiment due to less jobs in the USA but offshoring has been ongoing for decades. Newsflash, Toyota is not the only car manufacturer moving their assembly lines to Mexico. Companies like BMW, Ford, Teslas have all done this. Offshoring to Mexico was primarily triggered by the tariffs on China.
Mexico is the "New" China.
Triggered by unions not china. No cars have ever been made in china!
Big corporations save on tariffs and labor in Mexico but still doesn't reflect on the sale price.
Ya they save money in Mexico on labor and then raise the price on us by 15k from last year. You don't see the problem with that? It's a mid size truck that's priced between 50-70k after dealer markups.
It was my dream truck.... I'm not interested anymore. I bought my house 10 years ago for a little over 100k, no way this is worth almost half of that.
A 2024 Corvette is $68K base. I'd rather save for the other 14K and get the Corvette because I know what it's worth. The 2024 Taco is just ridiculous.
The truck got announced last year, how would that make it your "Dream Truck?" 😂

The loss of the V6 for a 4 cyl is dumb.
@@smokeylake3150loss of the V6 plus the crazy prices are why I won't get another Tacoma...I have a 23 offroad right now.
@@smokeylake3150reason: federal carbon credits
Companies are taking advantage of the price increases we had from the pandemic and the chip shortage. They've seen how much they can get away with and have kept the pedal to the medal when it comes to prices.
@@Rhaspun facts
I bought my Tacoma TRD Off Road new in 2002 for $22K. I’m still driving it today and blue book is about $7K so I spent $15K to drive it 22years. That’s less than a $1000 a year. It has 180,000 miles and still runs like new.
That’s awesome. I love hearing that! 💯
Under powered v6 junk. I test drove one. rived to high just to get tq. No way
@@droneworks6340people buy tacomas for reliability plus they hold their value . Trust me I’ve had fords and Chevys and after 150k they turn into money pits!
I'm glad I got my 4Runner in 2021 ($41K) and Tacoma in 2022 ($43K). Holding on to both indefinitely.
Nice! Good move 👌 💯
My 2021 4 runner was $30k
Tacoma sales will struggle for the following 3 reasons:
1. 4-Cylinder Engine
2. 4-Cylinder Engine
3. 4-Cylinder Engine
I’m not paying $50k for basic looking 4 cylinder Mexican made Tacoma ! Just an idea of 4 cylinder truck it’s an absolute deal killer for me !
@@robertwojtkiewicz3366 The 4 cylinder engines are what made them legendary with the reliability. The turnoff on these new ones is the turbo, as well as the price tag. People know that's a lot of headaches. I bought a '22 SR with the 2.7 when it was announced the end was coming.
They bowed down to the climate change gods.
@@rl8571I have 5 close friends who were very excited for new Tacoma , but after seeing in person and price increase they said they out , and they were die hard Tacoma fans ! Plus the that 4 cylinder sounds absolutely hideous !
Porsche had bad sales with their Boxster with a 4 cylinder engine for a $70-80K car. So they added a 6 cylinder at the facelift. (even if the cost was close to $100K)
Mercedes C63 AMG has almost no sales of their brand new $100K+ car with a 4 cylinder engine.
But this one of the things about capitalism.
Vote with your dollar.
Lost sales will make them think.
Plus Toyota is using a 6 cylinder engine in the new Lexus equivalent to the new Lan Cruiser.
They have the technology.
Glad to see you no longer sugar coating things. Your last several videos have been hard hitting. I agree with you 100%. The fan boys hate me, but I have been a Toyota owner for over 40 years. Longer than you've been alive. I haven't bought any since I bought my 21 Taco in April 21. So until this economy breaks and Toyota comes back to earth and acts decent again, they won't pull a dime from me. Keep up the good work on the videos.
I can’t even agree more with you. I cry out this and hope Toyota listens.
@@donaltemus3565 They will not listen until the economy knocks everyone down. Then they will drop a majority of their vehicles 13K to 18K down. Right now, they have 15-20K profit built into things like Tundra's Tacoma's, Sequoia's, etc. When things get hard, they will try to get to their normal profit of around 2K. When it gets really hard, they will go for break even so the full 15-20K off and maybe slightly more just to survive. I have said this for a year now and I have been laughed at many times, but it will happen.
Got my first FJ-40 in 1977, drove 2 of them from 1977-97, just got a GX470 and will keep it until it dies. Have no desire for an American Toyota just because of the quality, Tokyo still makes the best.
And it's not just Toyota, look at what a Jeep costs, absolute garbage for $50-75K+ (actual worth $20-30k). My '05 TJ breaks factory welds frequently, while the Jeep fan boys worship their great American scrap iron.
Thanks for all of the content and info!
Thank you as always!
Thank you for the support! =]
Why would I want a new car when I have a functioning car that is already paid off?
Keep it. I just put a new engine in my full size pickup for $5K. Now I can drive it another 150,000 miles.
More and more people are saying the same thing. It's the GOLDEN AGE for auto mechanics.
@@OVERDINNER I will do the same if I need to. My old Silverado has 370k, but it's doing just fine.
My cars are paid off when new too. This makes no sense. LOL
@@droneworks6340How new? Now many people can afford to just pay off brand new cars in full.
That's impressive
47k for a 4Runner SR5 premium? That’s insane. I will keep my 2016 for 10 more years.
Totally 👍2017 4Runner TRD PRO. Not a single issue with it and I’m gonna drive it till the wheels fall off😀
They hold their value. No turbos, no fancy hybrid to breakdown, lousy gas mileage, it’ll run until the apocalypse
Same here 2016 trail
Remember, vehicles are depreciating assets. Keep and maintain your vehicle as long as you can. It's your car, not the bank's.
Same here. I have a 2018 Sport with only 36,350 on it, and it'll last me forever. Seriously, as I drive very little at this point. So glad I'm not in the market now.
To be fair to Toyota, a 1995 4runner SR5 had an msrp for $23000 roughly. In 2024 dollars, that’s $47,136. That 2024 4runner is within spitting distance.
And that’s why I’m keeping my 1998 4Runner. It’s paid for and still runs great. I’d rather pay to maintain it than buy a computer on wheels.
does your '95 have a 4 banger too wiseguy - shrinkflation
@@etfbit it certainly could have, although mine has the v6 option, and it still has about half the horsepower of the 2024. A 2017 ford f350 with a 6.7L cost more than a 2003 with a 7.3L. There’s a lot more to this than engine size.
It is all about the motor for me. I want a V6 not a turbo 4 cylinder.
Made in Mexico is not a selling point. The frame rusting issue from Toyota is still fresh in my mind. Toyota needs to rethink who the customer is.
I can't imagine paying $50k for a tiny 4cyl pickup truck.....
Record profits since 2020 tells me it isn’t inflation it’s G R E E D.
Maybe. I've seen every manufacturer do this, besides, everything has gone up in price, not just cars, so it is inflation.
Absolutely Right...

I recently bought a '24 Tacoma TRD Off Road for 45k total with taxes. I haggled it down. Here in San Antonio the TRD Off Roads are selling fast and the Tacoma TRD Sport is selling slowly. The Tacoma SR5'S are selling way slower. I'm happy with my truck. It handles great. It looks great. I get a lot of compliments.
Too much greed, when you look at the auto prices compared to 2019, these hikes are well beyond inflation
Cancelled my refundable deposit on a 24 Tacoma
Remember when the politicians said NAFTA would keep prices low? 🤣
They did keep wages lower!
The sales price hasn't happened yet
When NAFTA happened jobs got outsourced like mad. We helped Mexico much much more than what we got in return.
Great review thank u
Thanks man!! nice video.
cheapest tacoma were used by the laborers in the past. but now it is not for the ordinary people.
Roman from TFL said SR5s aren’t selling, because all of the customers are waiting for the higher trims. He is so out of touch.
He has too much to gain blowing Toyota
That’s why he gets the invite to all the events. He says what Toyota wants to hear!
Most of the people at TFL are out touch. Stopped watching they’re stuff years ago😂
Who tf is Roman
He’s a Toyota suck ass
I built a 2021 tacoma at the end of 2020. TRD 4 x 4. 6' bed. V6. 6 speed manual. Tono cover. Running boards. Mud flaps. Total cost including fees $38 K
Glad i got it when i did.
If you are fine w 4 cylinders, you want a car, not a truck. Its useless.
Tacomas are selling like crazy where i live. Thanks for this info! it might be time to make a road trip!
Basically Toyota is including the mark up into the msrp!!
Was looking at a Corolla Cross, sticker $30,900. OTD with stupid markup and “upholstery protection” = $39,500. Ran to Mazda and got a great deal on a CX-5.
The real question is why are they even in the 50's? Should just raise them to 80k or higher. Not like lowering the price to 40k is going to make a lot of lower range salary people come out to buy. They made the decision that only higher income people can afford their trucks. Dealers don't even order many base models.
This makes me feel good about my 2023 trd offroad I bought last August for sure
I’m seeing the same thing in Salt Lake City. For $50,000 you should be able to get the hybrid. Toyota thought everyone would trade in for the turbo. Not even close, it still has the same power as the V6, with a little more TQ.
Wait for the "Chimichanga Edition" for $70,000
is that real? soundslike a joke but I wouldn't doubt it
Looks like you need to go feed Tina!
I am holding out for the enchilada addition at $100,000
Guacamole green (formerly luna rock) color option adds 6,500.
😂 LMAO
The 4 banger turbo motor looks like spaghetti nightmare ! I'll pass .
Bought a 2015 right before they switched to the “improved” 3.5L. Mine is a 4x4 SR5, extended cab, with the 4.0L and six speed manual. I got almost everything the TRD package offered except for the decals, which I’ve never been a fan of. I paid $32,500 and thought that was a bit steep.
Ain’t no way I’d pay almost double that for a turbo four with a battery pack.
I’ll hold on to my 2008 Tundra 5.7 V8 with 225,000 miles, thank you very much. Runs absolutely perfect and has given me zero issues.
Ppl don’t like turbo and overpriced cars.
People like turbos…just NOT in a 4cylinder Tacoma.
They’re overworked engines in whatever they’re in. They don’t last as long as a NA engine.
@@Skip8459 moat don't tow or haul, a turbo 4 is a good choice. If you're going to actually use it as a mini pickup, get a ranger or bare bones 150/0 for the same price
I don't want a turbo 4 banger in my premium prices truck either.
I love turbo cars and trucks speak for yourself. LOL
Bought a 2020 SR5 4Runnner Premium in summer of 2020 for about $38K. Now it's $47K+. Nuts.
Bidenomics!
About 24 years ago, I bought a very modiest/basic 1970s stick build home with 1/16 of an acre for a backyard for $63,000 . I am not rich, had to take out a 30 year mortgage to pay for it. Looks like that might be what people will have to do to buy a truck....20 to 30 year mortgage. :P
However, my home has appreciated to about $120,000 -- those trucks lose a lot of their value as soon as their tires leave the dealership asphalt and touch the road asphalt.
Low balling for high demand quality trade in value models while they increase prices for new models. If you've got a nice rig keep it, let them eat cake.
I paid 55k for my fully optioned out 22 trd off road Tundra. These Tacoma’s should be 30k.
I’m looking at the same right now. 56k off road premium tundra crewmax , 6.5 ft bed … 56k. I don’t know why one would even consider a Tacoma considering
I am hanging on to my 1992 Toyota SR5 4x4 extended cab (manual) pickup. Bought it new in 1991. Looks like new, works great (220,000 miles), and feels solid. Roll up windows. No computer screens. Simple truck. Toyota has to get back to basics! My next Toyota will be an old used one (if I can find one). No turbo.
Great video
They need to come down about 30%.
They will as soon as people stop buying their overpriced Mexican cheaply build Tacomas
@@robertwojtkiewicz3366they're probably made better in mexico. Americans are lazy and have bad work ethic. My issue just comes down to p4oce with what you're paying for an sr5 tacome with the trd off road you're better off buying a tundra sr with 4x4 like the base model it ends up being cheaper
I want a Toyota truck Made in JAPAN- V-6 no batteries, and a great stereo. OR- A toyota HILUX CHAMP, sold out of INdia for the grand total of $13,000 US DOllars. We need the Champ in our American Toyota dealerships, it is the bomb of utilitarian Truck at a reasonable price.

Truck prices are insane, I was able to order my 2021 TRD off-road double cab long bed in March of 2021 with premium technology package and a few other add ons for 37,495 out the door
I own two well-maintained 4Runners. A 2008 SR5 Sport (145K miles) and a 2011 Trail Edition (124K miles). Other than a recent new alternator for the 2008, I have had zero issues with either of them. I will keep them both until they or I die.
I'm old enough to remember the 1988 Toyota truck. It had a EFI engine good ac with R12 in it you would freeze with it. You could buy them for $7500 brand new made in Japan. Now look at Toyotas 50k for a Mexican Tacoma.
Yup was trying to get one of those around 2008-2009 for my first vehicle. Obama took a dump on us with cash for clunkers. You could get a nice one for around $3500 at that time. Couldnt afford one at the time so I bought a sedan, figured Id wait till the prices came down. Looks like I'll never own my dream vehicle. Or maybe any of its decendents either. If Toyota keeps this crap up the 2015-2023 model is gonna be selling for $35k for the next 30 years on the used market. I mean i can theoretically afford it now but just on principle I dont want to pay that much for a vehicle with 200k miles on it
I bought a 1988 4X4 back then for a little over $10K. I had to trade it in for a sedan a couple years later for personal reasons, which is my most regretted vehicle transaction ever. It was my favorite vehicle of all time.
You are witnessing the end of the automotive industry. Find your local bicycle shop.
In 2023 I bought a Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Pro. It was on sale for 6.3k. After a few pre-purchase add ons, out the door 7.1k. Bikes ain't cheap these days either.
*online bicycle shop. Honestly I'm think many low-income folks will be commuting on electric bikes im already starting to see it. Some get 90 miles a charge.
It's why the used market is so crazy
Or motorcycle
The bicycle industry is doing the same thing as the auto industry. Prices shot up during covid. Then the manufacturers over produced bikes and put prices up. Now they are all swimming in inventory. Bike companies are starting to feel the pain.
Still happy I got my 2013 TRD off road (salvaged title that was completely OeM rebuilt) was 18,750 with 22k miles.

I like to overland and the main concern with the new Tacomas is reliability. How will the turbos hold up when I ford through deep water? How will it heat affect the turbos when you're going only 5 to 10 mph?
Besides the reliability, part of NAFTA agreement is that products made outside the US should be less expensive because of huge tax breaks, no unions, no employee benefits, no OSHA etc. Manufacturers seems to have forgotten that part. However US consumerism has emboldened them to priced their products as if they were made in the US.
Auto makers have jacked up the prices on trucks by 35-40% in the last 4-5 years. The trd off-road force max is over $65,000. Absolutely INSANE for a Mexican-built truck.
Nissan will be my next new truck, and even THOSE are too expensive. Toyota has lost a loyal customer with their price gouging.
I'm done with Toyota too. My 23 Tacoma Offroad will be my last. If I trade it in, it will be for a Frontier.
$50,000 for a truck and they put a prop rod under the hood.
Haha right!? Sums it up well.
The thing that floored me is that on a loaded TRDOR you get a little plastic skidplate in the front and a temporary spare tire.
Informative video, thanks! Vote with your dollars people.
February of 2023 I picked up my brand new 2023 Tacoma TRD Off Road and I'll have it for 15 years minimum. Absolutely ZERO regrets getting the last of the best Tacos :)
I bought a Ford Ranger built in Tennessee and 10k cheaper with side boards, big digital screen and 7K lbs of towing capacity
I have the Ranger also love the turbo I have the Tremor lariat. I test drove an older taco with that V6 what a POS it was. Too slow and no power unless it got to 8k rpm.
I’ve owned fords and they all sucked!
I rather have an older Tacoma then be found on road dead😂
My '24 Ranger Lariat was about $2500 cheaper than a comparable Tacoma TRD Sport. I was a tough decision: I wanted the 6-speed manual transmission and power moonroof, neither of which is available in a Ranger.
Too expensive. Gen 6 4runners likely to top over 70k. Those will sit, too. All old gen tundra, tacoma, gen 5 4runners values will go up due to new gens having massive price increases.
Man that’s just crazy to even think about… a $70K 4Runner. Doesn’t even feel right saying it out loud haha 😂
I bought my 2005 fully equipped TRD Access Cab PreRunner new. It has been a perfect vehicle.
The engine was built in Elkhart and the body in Calif. not Mexico.
The body is perfect with the exception of the clear coat in a few spots.
I have just a little over 20,000 original miles on the Truck of The Year.
I was thinking about selling it for $18,000 but not sure if I want to do that now.
We went out to try and trade for a Tacoma TRD Offroad and none of the dealers were willing to move on price. After seeing a 53k one in person, it's crazy how expensive they are for so few options. You have to go for the 56-58k mark to get the features you'd expect around 50k
The reason for lack of sales is because Tacos are first year models and prices are out of control.
And Turbo's !
And and turbo 4 Cylinder and the cheap seats….the seats are noticeably cheaper and less supportive. Don’t take my word for it, go sit in a new taco….the interior is cheaper.
@@Slammingutzthose new interiors look like shit
Nothing but sheer GREED
In fairness it's not all greed on Toyota's part. Toyota has also had to massively up wages and benefits to its workers thanks to Union threat/negotiations.
Greed? Toyota and its dealers are allowed to ask whatever price they want for their product. It’s their property. In turn, you as a consumer are free to not spend your money with them. They aren’t forcing you to buy their vehicles, nor do they owe you one for whatever price you want. Supply and demand. 5th-grade economics.
They're grossly overpriced thanks to dealership greed
My 2018 Tacoma’s A/C evaporator started leaking, and then noticed an oil stain around the front timing cover seal. I only had 125k miles on it. After seeing that the new Tacoma only has a turbocharged 4 cylinder sealed the deal for me not to get one. I bought a 2023 Frontier instead.
My son was in the market for a new truck. He originally wanted a Tacoma. He saw the prices and pretty much said nope. He ain't poor working as an engineer for a Fortune 500 company.
He should get into sales. He could afford one of these Tacomas if he did!
That's why you need to stop buying a truck if you only go to work in a nice air-conditioned office. sitting in a nice chair. A truck is meant for farmers, miners, tradesmen, mechanics, plumbers, etc. It is for people who need it not for people who just want a truck just because they got money
@@pinoyrunningpenguin I love driving my $80k truck to my office wearing my freshly ironed Carhartt clothes and Redwing boots. I don’t do blue collar work. It doesn’t pay enough.
@@pinoyrunningpenguin Um, I use mine on the regular for home chores, and do not use it for "work". If you own a SFH having a truck is priceless!
This crazy pricing is going to end up benefitting Nissan for sure. For $43k you can get a Frontier Pro4x with a V6.
I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road long box. Has tech package (nav, sensors in bumper, blind spot, etc), adaptive cruise etc, no CarPlay (killing me but whatever), no power seat…
The selling price on the vehicle when I purchased it new with rebates and discount was 38,500…
I would pay $5000 more to get the hybrid for the torque, but no way am I going up to over $60,000 for a new one….
Seeing videos like these justifies why I am glad I switched as a Tacoma owner to a Frontier owner.
I'm doing my part. I'll never buy one of these super expensive, low quality Toyota products put together with plastic and felt.
Hey Untamed, I just test drove a 2024 Tacoma trd off road today and other than the new 8 speed gearbox, I wasn’t impressed. The initial throttle response (low range) was impressive but when I floored the throttle to get on the freeway, I wasn’t impressed compared to the 3rd gen V6 powerband. Noticed the cheapness of the interior with more cheap plastic than the previous gen Tacoma. The hood I could see vibrate on the rear of the hood closest to the windshield on the drivers side and again, the truck literally felt like a four cylinder that was out of juice when I got on it at freeway speeds. I know advocates like TRDJon, robmotive, and the TFE crew (among others) rant and rave about how infinitely superior it is to the “old gen” 3rd gen Tacoma but I’m not feeling or agreeing with their enthusiasm about this new platform. I guess I’m not drinking the same Toyota Kool-aid as they are, nor am I politically obligated to the Toyota higher ups as well. Love my 2022 3rd gen TRD PRO Tacoma and maybe I’d change my tune if they dropped the price(s) to a realistic MSRP but I know I’d be drinking the Toyota “Kool-aid” ad well. 😳
I agree with you. The seats and interior are cheap. The engine is gutless when you attempt to merge onto the freeway. It’s an all around overpriced cheap (Mexico built) bait and switch from the old Toyota trucks.
TrdJon is a joke
Those big guys like TrdJon won't say anything negative...they care about making money...they could care less about getting the truth out.
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN Very true indeed. I know they aren’t gonna sabotage the bed there sleeping in per se but users like TrdJon opinions seem artificial and “fake” to me; which is an annoyance in reality.
@@deantrainr they seem fake because they are fake. As far as TrdJon goes, he's an idiot, he traded in his 22 Pro for a 24 Offroad...how stupid can someone be..
I'm sitting in my brand new 2024 Nissan Frontier Pro 4x, fully loaded. V6 and made in America. I love it. These are the reasons I went to Nissan.
Have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma crew cab pre-runner I bought 7 years ago for $9700 one owner with only 29,000 original miles. Today it only has 58,000 original miles with many years of life left. Buying a new 2024 Tacoma is nuts. Nice to have the pink slip with no payments.
Toyota executives need to monitor these sites and listen to what the people are saying.
They do and are
@@stevenhumphreyjr.6399they do and don't care.
I have read comments from some people defending this pricing as being commensurate with inflation. Perhaps, however unless income rises similarly, it’s a moot point because people can’t afford these.
Jacking the price on a Tacoma TRD Pro from $50k to $65k is NOT inflation, it's GREED.
My 2022 Trd off road was assembled in Baja Mexico, but are the major components still built in Japan. Like the 3gen was?
You are right the Nissan pro 4x they are selling by me for 44k and that is a loaded truck with a locker nice wheels v6 some have spraying Bed liner. Nice shocks and compare that to the stock Toyota and they are insane for asking those prices
