After 10 days with my 2024 Tacoma Off-Road --- things that could be improved...

Things that I think could be improved on the 2024 Tacoma Off Road...

1. Larger Fuel Tank! Went from 21.1 to 18.1 or three gallons less. It is more efficient, but would have loved to see a 400 mile range on the new Tacoma

2. Rear Air Vents- I do not usually have anyone in back, but my pup is sometimes back there and a bit of air would help out, especially in hot states

3. Rear seat leg room! I am not positive, but I think it is less than the gen 3

4. Rear seat pull down console- Rear seaters get no love in the Taco!

5. More behind seat storage or under seat storage. It is sparse! The JBL sub woofer takes up too much storage space behind the rear seat! Hybrids will have no under rear seat storage

6. Tailgate or bed storage area. Nothing huge, just to store a air compressor, tow strap, tools

7. Bumper step or built in bed step. The tailgate is up higher than the Gen 3

8. A pillar or overhead handle for the driver

Anyone have other thoughts for improvements? Don't get me wrong, the Gen 4 is a vast improvement in my opinion, but these are just some of my thoughts after 10 days with my new Tacoma

Only 2 things in your list that I wish they did was a larger fuel tank and bumper step (you can get a drop down step for $455, but how hard would it be for Toyota to put a step on either side of the bumper).

It’s closer to 250-260 without babying it.

I get the impression this number gets better as you get past the break-in period. TRD Jon said he was closer to 400.

First tank fill up today. Hit 350 miles on my first tank in ECO mode. Odometer had 350.1 miles and it took 17.63 gallons for 19.85 mpg all city driving. The truck showed 19.6 MPG. With a 18.1 gallon tank that means I had about 1/2 a gallon left in the tank. The mileage remaining feature said 0 refuel at 325 miles so I went another 25 miles on refuel light. I reset the trip A and mpg setting and will do this tank on Normal Mode. I filled to the first click, wait 30 seconds and then fill till it clicks again.

Still on the original tank of gas from the dealer. Going into reserve in 2 miles. Going for 350 on this tank. Currently at about 19.5 mpg all in city & ECO mode.
