27K 2003 money is the same as 40K in today's money. The real issue is that for your 27K you got a completed loaded model, and for that same 40K today you might get a single trim higher than base. Talk about greed.
That’s about on par with the ranger for fleet pricing. But the Chevy and Nissan are both still low $30,000s for a fleet model. 35k for the Colorado gets you an almost loaded 4wd WT spec
I like that gauge cluster screen. The layout reminds me of my 1990 Toyota Pickup. 22R, 4 speed manual in that one! I wish they would let you drive an SR with a manual.
The 6 cylinder in the 2nd gen Tacoma was the best man. So much gurth to the exhaust note and real nice torque too. I drive a 2.7l Tacoma right now and it’s slow as balls but sounds amazing for a 4 banger. Nice and deep subie burble
Because 4cyl is trash lol... Why do you think American trucks have V8s, because everyone knows the power is needed for work... 4cyl trucks are for silly kids who want sport trucks.
To be fair, our dollar is decreasing in value and cost of living is getting worse. Very low increases in wages. So if wages aren’t keeping up with inflation, you damn right people will call out the ridiculous price increases for basic models
@@chrisg5352my parents bought a double cab Tacoma in ‘08 for $26k and some change. My dad is a truck driver and his wages have stayed relatively flat despite there being a shortage of truck drivers across the country. We keep paying more for less and less in return.
@chrisg5352 I think the point he is making is that this is an industry trend. All cars and trucks are significantly more expensive now. Today an Acura Type S is 50k. In 2017 for that kind of money you almost had enough for a flat plane V8 Shelby GT350 or a Corvette. I make 6 figures and I can't wrap my head around how people afford some of these vehicles (based on average transaction price)
Chris, Can you explain how it is possible that Toyota had the presence of mind to include a fold-forward front passenger seat in a 2 door pickup while neglecting to do the same in every one of the dozens of CUV, SUV, minivan and hatch models they sell? 🤔These seats were once featured in the Matrix and IS wagon as well as numerous other vehicles from different automakers. They make a MASSIVE difference in MAXimizing the ability to carry longer items like ladders or 2X4s yet today they have almost disappeared . 🤨
I remember seeing something from Toyotas design team saying the access can doors are more or less a safety thing they are phasing out. I could be wrong but i think that’s why this gen will not have the small access doors.
$35k for a base model truck is stupid. They don't have any bells and whistles and are simple to build. They should start at 20-25k depending on drivetrain not 35k+.
Is it? That seems reasonable as hell considering Ford Rangers and 4WD Colorados both start at $34k USD. This thing will outlast both of those by a massive margin with infinitely better residuals. Literally nothing else in the class that undercuts it by a significant amount.
SR ext cab, six foot bed is my preference. But no manual offered without double cab and adds $10.2k. So i’m stuck with the auto trans. i love the steelies.
How’s the drivers seat room for a tall person? I’m 6’5” and the only midsize truck I fit in is 22+ frontier. Ridgelines are nice but the seat doesn’t go low enough
Maybe 2wd. That was the 3rd gen(previous/current) sr 2 door $28k, $32k for the v6, $35 for the v6 4x4. Nissan frontier 2 door is $29,9 all v6, $33k 4x4.
i have a 2022 Toyota Tacoma SR 4 cylinder 159 horsepower no turbocharger have one, which better old one or new 4 generation SR more power and fast pedal response as quickly? Since i dislike old cylinder Sr 2022 kind of slowly and hard to run on highway too much hassle push Ect power everyday. i’m not happy this my 2022 tacoma.
I can hear a lot of turbo whistle in this POV, but not so much on the manual version POV. I wonder why that is? Does the turbo have a silencer ring in it? Have you looked or asked Toyota?
I think it's just a solid axel in the front in the base SR, I know the higher trim Tacoma's like the SR5 and TRD Sport get coil springs, the Limited, Trailhunter and TRD Pro trims all have adaptive dampers which is a pretty fancy suspension setup those trucks will ride very well.
Why can't Toyota give us a driver-side grab handle anymore?! I realize this is only an SR trim, but I'm pretty certain all trims no longer have it now. Shit triggers my OCD.
It would be a, as you said a real neat package, if it had the rear access doors that for some dumb reason Toyota decided to do away with. Sure, let me put my 60 pound toolbox behind the seat just to struggle to get it out every time I need it. Yes, Toyota did a good thing doing away with the rear access doors to make this new work truck an easy truck to work with. 35 thousand dollars, it’s not the perfect work truck.
Like your videos don't like the pricing and the up charge some dealers are asking for , no one cares about the consumer anymore time for the consumer to be disloyal to a brand
As a 20 year old who finally got to the financial space to put good down payments, it’s pretty sad this new gen Tacoma is a 4 banger. Probably buy a low miles 2nd gen v6 with cash

People are sick to ask 35000 for a fleet vehicle.
And to think I bought a TRD Off-Road crew cab 4x4, pretty much loaded, brand new in 2007 for $27k

@@domenik8339look how many more features you get in the new model for the same price
Well it isn’t 2007 anymore bud. That was 17 years ago.
It’s the same price adjusted for inflation. What else can you buy from 2007 for the exact price today? Use your brain for 1 second
Watching your pov videos was the reason why I bought a manual Tacoma. Seeing you drive the new Tacoma makes me feel so nostalgic 🤤
That manual Tacoma review was one of my first reviews! It’s such a fun truck
So glad i bought a 2023 4cyl 2wd SR Tacoma acc cab with a "soft closing tailgate"
Got the same, just with 4wd !
Got the same, just with 4wd !
This thing is significantly rougher than my 2021 SR and much more expensive.
Have all you people complaining about price been asleep the last 3 years?
35 for a fleet model 😂
I honestly thought I was hearing stuff LOL. The fact this thing is now 35k for a fleet spec is scary.
Ok so I just went on the configurator. The proper 2WD fleet model with no options comes out to $32,995. Still a stupid amount for a Tacoma.
The base F-150 starts just under $35K. Toyota is really starting to reach at this point.
That’s about on par with the ranger for fleet pricing. But the Chevy and Nissan are both still low $30,000s for a fleet model. 35k for the Colorado gets you an almost loaded 4wd WT spec
@jmilesfox this is far better than a base f150 lol

Nice truck what's the retail on one of those?
"More than you can afford pal. Toyota."
Ha! Never expected to see Hunter from Porsche here! Very cool! New Tacoma seems ok. Looks nimble. I do love the funky interiors on the higher trims.
I am sure I will own one at some point. I am not against four cylinders, but man... they do not sound nearly as good as a six cylinder.
The 6 cylinder in the 2nd gen Tacoma was the best man. So much gurth to the exhaust note and real nice torque too. I drive a 2.7l Tacoma right now and it’s slow as balls but sounds amazing for a 4 banger. Nice and deep subie burble
@@portrad Yea idk why they downgraded to the Camry 3.5 V6 tho
Is sounding good worth thousands a year in extra gas prices? 99% of people, especially right now, say no.
@@domenik8339 Did I say the V6 was more practical? Say no.

Toyota makes the best trucks hands down.
Best review yet ! Looks sporty and quick enough for a daily…….
definetly looking into this one for sure
Lots of people in the comments not keeping up with inflation vehicle prices i see

@@thomasanthony9328 As a Vibe owner for over 18 years, nailing this comment was easy. 😉
Toyota Matrix mentioned! I love my fold flat seat and that's the first thing I thought of when I saw that

Exciting ride ahead!
$35k for a base model truck is stupid. They don't have any bells and whistles and are simple to build. They should start at 20-25k depending on drivetrain not 35k+.
You keeping up with vehicle prices my guy?
Maybe back in the 2000s lol. Inflation
Yeah they're insane in North America. @@tyhyhh
cheapest compact crossover starts at 25. so no, this truck aint starting at 20
Even before covid they were $27k ish.
Neat truck but $35000 USD for that is ridiculous
Is it? That seems reasonable as hell considering Ford Rangers and 4WD Colorados both start at $34k USD. This thing will outlast both of those by a massive margin with infinitely better residuals.

@@thrillhouse8787 The whole segment is ridiculous then
I think I know what I’m getting when the lease on my 22 Tacoma is up in a year.
35k for a work truck model?!
A bigmac meal costs $13 where I am at. It use to cost $8.
SR ext cab, six foot bed is my preference. But no manual offered without double cab and adds $10.2k. So i’m stuck with the auto trans.
i love the steelies.
This is why I bought my 1998 tacoma 4x4 for 5k
These should be a lot more common. Double-cabs make for a poor breakover angle offroad, even if you get very big tires that ruin MPG.
I wonder if this will affect the Tacoma's traditionally minimal depreciation.
How’s the drivers seat room for a tall person? I’m 6’5” and the only midsize truck I fit in is 22+ frontier. Ridgelines are nice but the seat doesn’t go low enough
This should be 27k max with 4wd
Not getting a 2024 toyota with 4x4 for 27k sorry 🤣
Go make one cheaper
Maybe 2wd. That was the 3rd gen(previous/current) sr 2 door $28k, $32k for the v6, $35 for the v6 4x4. Nissan frontier 2 door is $29,9 all v6, $33k 4x4.

good looking truck

Probably more sound deadening in the upper trims.
What is the exact motor difference to the other model motor with 280hp ?
cant wait for you to drive ttv6 xrunner 😁
sad they stuck to push button start even for the base trim.
Push button is much safer against theft.
@@domenik8339 i guess but, i prefer key.
35k for a base trim work truck. Wtf Toyota is insane. Their greed will ruin them
I like your videos a lot. 4cyl sucks ass btw, i am glad I got my V6 taco on time
Are you sure you can get an extended cab with manual?
You cannot. you must strict double cab and add $10.2k to the price.
What is the front suspension? I know the rear is leaf
I think it's just a solid axel in the front in the base SR, I know the higher trim Tacoma's like the SR5 and TRD Sport get coil springs, the Limited, Trailhunter and TRD Pro trims all have adaptive dampers which is a pretty fancy suspension setup those trucks will ride very well.
Next up please do the limited in super sonic red❤
Wait where is the base model sr 2 door????? That one started at $28k.
This is the SR. Now starts at 33k
Those 5 chimes at start up are enough to turn me off to the whole truck. There better be an option to disable that.
Why can't Toyota give us a driver-side grab handle anymore?! I realize this is only an SR trim, but I'm pretty certain all trims no longer have it now. Shit triggers my OCD.
brz-gr86 engine?
What?
Huh lol
?
Different engine
Should have had a bench seat....
The price on mid size trucks is disgusting. Nearly just as expensive as a full size.
You could get 7 EUCs for that price
Awesome review but I'm so sick of this. These sell for closer to 40k, not 35. I bought my 4x4 leather trimmed Limited Tundra for 44k in 2016.

Amazing how much more a bare bones Tacoma costs now days.

Not buying new trucks
Something so depressing about a 4 cylinder. I think i'd rather walk

Prerunner needs a 4x4 option.......
Too bad it sounds like a vacuum.
At some point vehicle names are going to be the length of a scentences
Wow that chime is dreadful. Nice vehicle though.
"You gotta love steel wheels on a 2024 model" ahhhh sorry but no brotha 😅😂
The design of the xtra cab looks really awkward from the outside.
Toyota ruined the Tacoma exta cab. It's always good for a company when they can lower there cost and raise the price. Sad day for Tacoma
What the hell is toyota even thinking at this point, this is laughable
Are people slow? Trucks don't cost MORE, the value of our money is worth LESS...
