    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    No, try reading what I post instead of making things up. I said I'd prefer matte black on the fender flares and would wrap them day 1 as I prefer that. I said I hope the Iso seats are offered as an option in the 25. Never said anything about the engine other than I liked it when I test drove...

    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    No, I said I hope they're offered as an option in the 25. I don't need or want them and would rather have the room in the back seat and a less expensive price.

    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    Love for anyone to show me where I have ever "trashed the truck" Whether you like what I have to say or not is irrelevant to me. I say what's on my mind. Block me if you don't like it. I had every intention of buying a 24 Pro. My friend owns a Toyota store in upstate NY and they just...

    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    Do you remember when Toyota went through this in the past? Quality suffered, everything they sold looked like the demographic was an 80 yr old man. They lost market share until they stepped it back up again. It's cyclic and we're on the down-wind side, imo. Hopefully, they'll bring it back...

    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    The inverse is true. Most people do not use online platforms to vent because they actually live their lives offline. A very small percentage of users know about these places and even fewer dare to tread here. Using these sites and any "data" found here for any statical analysis is silly...

    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    The only entity that knows for sure is Toyota and they're not telling, but there have been more than a dozen so far mentioned on 4 different platforms where the trans had to be replaced. If you extrapolate that out to include all those that don't post on forums we can safely assume the number...

    2024 Tacoma TRD Pro Full Transmission Replacement After 342 Miles

    Lots of big transmission issues. Probably best to hold off for now.

    Is the 2024 TRD Pro worth it anymore?

    meh...they're for whatever the person who buys it wants it to be for. No one should tell someone else how to use their toys.

    Is the 2024 TRD Pro worth it anymore?

    Not sure what they were thinking with the super shiny black plastic trim pieces. That would have to go on day 1.

    Build Thread Romer's 2024 Tacoma Off Road Bronze Oxide

    Glad you like it, but unless you've owned a hybrid you don't really have any basis to compare. I'm sure they're very similar as a grocery getter.

    How important is the break in before highway driving?

    Thermal cycling is the most important part of new engine break-in. Run the truck up to temp while driving and then at some point allow it to cool to ambient temps. Do that at least 4 times before you run it at constant speeds for more than 20 mins. You can run highways longer, just vary your...

    Tailgate Gap Issue

    Yes, but it doesn't stay there.

    At this point would it be stupid to buy a 2024 TRD Pro instead of waiting for a 2025?

    The marketing firms know what they're doing.

    Paint imperfections- orange peel finish

    They're very similar. A price increase of 32% is more like a 10 yr cycle increase, not one year. There is nothing to justify that large of an increase other than riding the "everything is so much more expensive" wave that's been used to crush us over the last couple years. This is gouging...

    Paint imperfections- orange peel finish

    For many, the issue is a 2023 TRD Pro Taco was 50K. What changed to make the 24 worth $16,000 more? That's a 32% increase in price in one year. That doesn't settle well with most.

    Paint imperfections- orange peel finish

    Being inline with other trucks doesn't mean there is value. Today, it simply means they're gouging us while providing inferior quality products. They will only continue to price them like this if we continue to buy them. You're 100% on the former reputation. Toyota and Honda have done this...

    Paint imperfections- orange peel finish

    This is the internetz...people are going to complain about everything. I'm still going to buy a Pro, but have decided to wait for a 25. I've been doing fine without a truck for a few months so waiting isn't going to kill me. I'm hoping they'll make the ISO seats optional and work out some of...

    Paint imperfections- orange peel finish

    That dampened foam underlayer is used on rockers, but people are posting images of upper fenders, doors, etc. All factory paint on the average vehicle today is very poorly finished. Most people don't care, so they keep figuring ways to make them cheaper and faster.
