People only pay a premium for Toyota because of reliability. Slow, cheap interior, small space, it didn’t matter. We pay for legendary reliability, thats not in the books now so goodluck selling that mexican made hunk of junk for 50k lol
They are addicted to this hybrid narrative. They keep bragging about hybrid sales are up. Of course they are, 90 percent of all the Toyotas are hybrids now.
Test drove a 2023 taco and a 2024 frontier. Had no interest in the 4th gen Tacomas. I liked the frontier. Felt more modern and a little more powerful engine. But I stuck with the 23 Tacoma just cuz the resume it holds, aftermarket availability, and I got a great deal on a trd pro. Both are great options. Sucks the 2024 tacos went backwards in their mindset.
I have a Frontier in transit to the dealer right now, buying now while I can get what I want before it's gone. I don't want a turbo 4 cylinder or that cylinder canceling crap.
I just took a test drive in the most base Tacoma SR. It had no options and this was before any dealer adds. It was $41,000 before nitrogen, doc fees, taxes, etc. Out the door, it would probably be $45,000+. That's just too much for a small pickup!
@musclesmouse I'm willing to argue that he's playing for the green-colored tire cap that the dealership put on there to make the customer think that they actually filled the tires with pure nitrogen. 😂
My 2004 VW Jetta turbo diesel has more that that. Ever hear of the Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel? It’s literally the longest lasting car ever made. Wake up, and stop listening to the sheep.
Time for Taco buyers to start buying cheap Frontiers and send a big message to Toyota. Most of these companies are trying to offset their EV sales with their ICE sales. If I were in the market I would go to Nissan and look heavily at a Frontier, I hear they are trying to give their trucks away. If Frontier sales won't skyrocket up, Toyota sure won't follow suit and stuff a V6 in this one. They won't see it as worth the money.
Same! I have a 2013 Prerunner and it ain't going anywhere! This new Gen4 is by far the UGLIEST and most expensive POS Toyota has ever brought to the table...
My ‘99 Tacoma with 330,000 miles is treating Me just fine. Wanted one of the new ones. But with a 4 Cylinder turbo or electric?? No thanks. I’ll keep My 99
Same here. My 07 4WD Tacoma has 333,000 and has had no serious problems. Manual transmission, still original clutch and no rust other than surface discoloration on hood which I painted with a paint brush. Much better to invest in future repair than buy a new one.
At least they dropped the CVT transmission for the Pathfinder. Nissan seems to be learning their lesson, poised to take all of the loyal old school Toyota fans. At least until 2029 unless somebody neuters the EPA and CA trying to set up national policy over other states. The current Frontier was obviously meant to compete with the Gen3 Tacoma at a better price point and Toyota just handed over the keys.
The number of new Frontiers that I've seen on the road has greatly outnumbered the number of new Tacomas -- and for all of the reasons that have been mentioned here.
Finally saved up for a Tacoma, went to the dealership, can't believe the outrageous quotes I got from 2 separate dealerships. I'm going to have to wait awhile till prices get more realistic.
I was saving for a Gladiator, but I'm not paying their overinflated prices either. These mid-sized trucks are being priced higher than what some full-sized trucks should be.
Local dealer has them stacked 2 deep. 4Runners are selling out - Doing the same thing to the 4Runner later this fall with the '25's. Tried to get one, but the dealer drove me away with ridiculous add-ons, so I found a '23 at a hurting Ford dealer that was willing to do a great deal.
It was pretty cool when the Tacoma was built in the US... especially with that fantastic v6. You could buy a great truck knowing you're also helping a fellow American put food on the table. 🇺🇸
The entire 3rd generation Tacoma has been built in Mexico since 2016 2nd generation as well. With all the issues of the tundra solely built in Texas "pride"..... IMO, quality issues are 💯 Toyota' fault, Prius built in Japan recalls, etc.... Mexico builds Volkswagen, Mercedes Ford, GM products, etc Maybe Toyota figures Americans have been so loyal to the brand that we'll buy anything Toyota....
People try to justify the turbos saying toyota has made them for years they are on other models they will be fine and they had to drop the V8 and V6 because of the epa etc all that is b/s. Toyota does get kickbacks from the gov on these smaller motors but they can still make a V8, V6 if they wanted to all the other truck compaines offer a V8 still but toyota stands to make more $$$ on these smaller engines. As far as the turbos go people are comparing them to other cars that don't tow and weigh much less than a truck so they don't see the same stress as a truck would. These new turbo trucks will not last as long as the older models just do a search on how long does a turbo last and you get up to 150k sure there will be some that go more or less and a turbo on a diesel is not a fair comparison, it's these small turbo engines in a larger truck do not last very long that small motor is going to be stressed out.
Toyota is staring to get out of the truck business. The new tundra is barely a truck with the six cylinder and the new Tacoma with the 4 cylinders is just a Camry with a bigger trunk.
Mike Sweers made a comment when he was chief engineer. He said and executive, perhaps the CEO, told him to give the customers what they wanted instead of what he thought they wanted. Well, look at what they’re doing now. Prices are outrageous. People are holding on to their vehicles longer and perhaps buying used for the next vehicle. Unless they can afford to buy new and pay those prices.
I’m a huge loyal Toyota customer. Reason… Price is really dumb now a days…and secondly the engine type, build in Mex, and getting less overall from a price point.. not to mention the back seating is smaller than previous tacos!! That’s crazy…
Definitely. Four years ago, I leased a Tacoma SR5 with a sticker price of only $32K and some change. Sadly, that same equivalent nowadays would easily be $45K+. Pure greed for sure!
Way too expensive!!!!! These are mid size trucks for low utility, weekend fun, handyman/lawn businesses, not hard core truck work, mostly young guys and old men etc.... Which should mean cheaper prices, but they are priced out of this world. The truck manufactures have priced out their customers.
So glad I bought my 2022 SR5, knowing at some point, that Toyota is gonna go on the Turbo side. If I have to purchase another truck in the near future, it’s gonna be a Nissan frontier, for as long as they stay with natural aspirated engines.
I drive a 2011 Toyota Tacoma 4-door, Auto, V-6, TRD, I drove it out of the Dealership Oct. 2010 for $28,876.35 loaded. It was my 3rd trip to the Dealership, the first 2 trips I walked out, however they had my cell number and kept calling back every 5 days "we can do better." Anyway, love my Tacoma, the milage is super low (40,000 miles) and the reason is I have a 2010 Toyota Camry (96,000 miles). OK, back to the Tacoma, the maintaince is low, I do it myself (retired diesel tech). PS: My last job before retirement was in a Wholesale/ Retail Diesel Turbo Sales Warehouse. That's where I learned more about turbos than I already knew. What I learned was stay away from them in Gas ICE. Some day that turbo is going to have to be replaced. Let's say the replacement turbo cost $750.00 medium price. If you put it on yourself that's fine (not easy) but if you take it to a shop, it'll be $800 to $1100 labor, so now were looking at $1500 to $1850 repair on a part you didn't need on the former Toyota 4 or 6 cylinder. Doesn't make any sense to me, I think I'll keep what I have till they come up with something better, if that ever happens.
It's what I've been saying and I live in the Bay area where people will buy any ridiculous thing like the cyber truck just to have something new. Haven't seen one yet on the road and I commute a lot😮
NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY EVER PAY FOR A MARK UP YOU SCREW YOURSELF AND EVERYONE TRYING TO BUY AN AFFORDABLE VEHICLE. NEVER LETS FORM A UNION AND GET THEM
You said it right Toyota had a such trust with the public. They certainly lost my trust and I am not buying the new Tacoma with the 4 cylinder turbo crap in it.
I admit I'm a Toyota fanboy. I owned a Celica and a MR-2 in my younger years. My current vehicles are a Rav-4 SUV and a Sienna minivan. I'm looking for a mid-size pickup truck and I never though I would be considering a Ford Ranger or Nissan Frontier over a Tacoma. However, there is simply no way I can consider buying the current generation of the Tacoma regardless of how much of a fan I am of Toyota.
I laughed my ass off when I saw a '24 Taco marked down $5000 that a local Toyota dealer had on display at a minor-league baseball game the other night. 😂 It felt SO good to see Toyota finally get theirs.
i work at toyota HQ and tried to let the VP of sales know 4 banger won’t fly on Tacos and 4Runners. we’ll have to wait it out. i have a 2024 4Runner coming my way which i plan to keep for the long haul.
2:20 Anyone bothered by the body panels that look like they have been in collision up/behind each wheel well? Looks horrible. Looks like a poor 3D model in a video game.
At this point in the gen 3 release, they were everywhere. Couldn't drive 5 mins without seeing one. I have seen a grand total of one of these on the road.

High price and low quality.
Toyota is going with the Disneyland park model - charge way more, quality is way less, and breakdowns are a good possibility
Let them rot on the lot. Too Greedy. Shame on Toyota and the Dealers.
#1 reason sales are down is the price.
It's not just that. It's a legitimately ugly truck!
Plus interest rates, and straight up inflation of everything..
No V6
Fanboy here, Toyota prices never bothered me but i will not pay V6 prices for a 4 cylinder engine. This is the ultimate betrayal.
@@rl8571 they're charging too much for the truck even if it came with a V6
The new Tacoma is a joke. Doesn’t stack up to the competition and Toyota is charging 20% more for an inferior truck.
The competition offers more
Base price increase for the Pro is 40%. What a joke.
They are addicted to this hybrid narrative. They keep bragging about hybrid sales are up. Of course they are, 90 percent of all the Toyotas are hybrids now.
No V6 no sales Pretty simple
Turbo is BAD NEWS
They should of offered it as an option. Ease it in. Let people buy what they need/want. Give customer a choice
Toyota's leadership is too proud to admit they made a mistake.
Toyota's NEW leadership
Huge ass mistake.
Go across that street and check out the frontier
I hear their sales are up; still available with the V-6.
It is a better deal at the moment. The frontier is also underrated for reliability. Could take the tacomas place on top got to advertise more.
Test drove a 2023 taco and a 2024 frontier. Had no interest in the 4th gen Tacomas. I liked the frontier. Felt more modern and a little more powerful engine. But I stuck with the 23 Tacoma just cuz the resume it holds, aftermarket availability, and I got a great deal on a trd pro. Both are great options. Sucks the 2024 tacos went backwards in their mindset.
I do have a video with the frontier, but I definitely want to do some more content. I got to give it to Nissan still offering the V6.
I have a Frontier in transit to the dealer right now, buying now while I can get what I want before it's gone. I don't want a turbo 4 cylinder or that cylinder canceling crap.
Missing v6 is reason why I’m not buying
They've ruined the Tacoma, they've ruined the Tundra.......Now they're coming for the 4 Runner. It's very sad.
No one wants to pay $45k for a $35k truck…
Just stop buying overpriced sh*t
Fire whoever approved the 4 cyc and v6 tundra
Prices are too high. Interest rates are high. People don't have money to buy expensive vehicles.
Interest rates are making car payments go up crazy times are getting harder
I have been buying Tacomas for over 20 years. But this is the end for me. If I can't get a Taco with a V6, forget it.
Toyota thought they could use brand loyalty to reduce quality and raise prices and still sell trucks!
exactly, never buy a Toyota again
We don't want a overpriced, Mexican made, turbo four banger Tacoma.
I just took a test drive in the most base Tacoma SR. It had no options and this was before any dealer adds. It was $41,000 before nitrogen, doc fees, taxes, etc. Out the door, it would probably be $45,000+. That's just too much for a small pickup!
For an SR?…nuts!
Fun Fact: Air is 78% nitrogen.
@@Mister_Durdenyou are paying for the other 23%
@@musclesmouse why not just add 21% more air?
@musclesmouse I'm willing to argue that he's playing for the green-colored tire cap that the dealership put on there to make the customer think that they actually filled the tires with pure nitrogen. 😂
Number one reason for not buying a Tacoma for me personally is not having a V6 engine option.
Everyone I know likes the old Tacoma better
The prices are just way too high for all new vehicles
And almost no gas saving.
Nope. You literally have full sized v8 trucks in this mpg category. It's pathetic.
ZERO you should be putting PREMIUM in a turbo... you lose more money
It's not affordable, it's not a v6, it's made in Mexico so why isn't cheaper? Pure greed
The V6 got dropped way too early. Not an option no more. Don't understand how this is saving the planet.
WHO TF GOT 50K JUST FOR A SMALL ASS TRUCK MAN , LOL I PAID OFF MY 21 TACOMA NEVER GETTING A AUTO LOAN AGAIN
I would love to buy a new tacoma but no v6 is disappointing on top of the ridiculous price tags.
Don't buy turbos, name one manufacturer that has made turbos that go 200k or 300k miles ? DON'T DO IT.
My 2004 VW Jetta turbo diesel has more that that. Ever hear of the Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel? It’s literally the longest lasting car ever made. Wake up, and stop listening to the sheep.
@@zfunk9first off, it’s a turbo Diesel. Different beast of an engine all together l. Turbo diesel engines can last a long time. gas Turbo will not.
Local Toyota dealer here has 14 new Tacomas on the lot. Double that for new Tundras. Outrageous prices on all.
COST TO DAMN MUCH! Especially for a 4 banggerz 🤮
The build quality is also from Mexico. Giant panel gaps. Creeks and rattles reported from owners and reviewers. Sad very sad.
Toyota gave the 🖕🏼 to its loyalist.
The big memorial day sale was 500.00 off all new vehicles. The stampede into the dealerships was a site to behold!!
Hope you are being sarcastic…
lol !
$35k for the Nissan V6 .. vs $55k for the Taco 4T
Sorry Yota.. can’t do it

Price and quality really drive people away from these Trucks! Wake up Toyota! Don’t be greedy! Cheap labor vs. high price. That doesn’t make sense.
I'd be all over the Nissan Frontier if I was a Tacoma shopper. If only Nissan had a proper body on frame Pathfinder or a new X-Terra for us.

They will go back to v6 after losing their axx on this
and fix the damn gear hunting
Who wants to pay that much for a midsize truck with a turbo motor while the tundras keep losing theirs.
Finally saved up for a Tacoma, went to the dealership, can't believe the outrageous quotes I got from 2 separate dealerships. I'm going to have to wait awhile till prices get more realistic.
Get your self a third gen.
Or go to a Nissan Pro 4x
Check out the Nissan Frontier,… I think you’ll be surprised.
I was saving for a Gladiator, but I'm not paying their overinflated prices either.
These mid-sized trucks are being priced higher than what some full-sized trucks should be.
Saw a pro 4x for 36 in MA
Also made in Mexico. Losing American jobs. Frontiers are made in Tennessee…
Thats not a sale. Thats a ripoff!
Toyota flew a bunch of YT truck reviewers to Hawaii to review the new Tacomas and the new Tacoma buyers are footing the bill. 😢
Junk rotting on the lots
Love my '16 Tacoma . But I'd get a frontier, colorado or canyon over these '24 Tacomas , easy !
