I’m tempted to find a discounted 3rd gen
Mine has like 12, but those types of discou
I have been happy with it so far. Sometimes I feel like people trash on the 3rd gen because of the 4th gen, but I think it will be a great truck for us. I could not pass up the price, which is why I decided in the end not to wait for the 4th gen. Turns out, the list on the 4th gen Limited with what I would want will be like 54K. I also feel good about having the solid v6 with its great reputation. I also like the simplicity of it. It is nice, but not over the top. All of the tech in the 4th gen makes me wonder how many years it would last.
a 2023 limited and 2024 limited are nothing alike and should not be compared.
Sure, but that wasnt my point.
. I don't think they need to rush to sell these 3rd gens (and they know this), given the uncertainty people put off with these 4th gens and the V6 gearheads that don't want to let a underpowered V6 die that should've died years ago, they'll still sell them just fine.Yeah, the trailer brake controller would definitely be a nice feature on the 4th genI waited several months for a 2023 allocation specific to the color and trim I wanted. I got a $500 discount with no forced add ons. I considered holding out for a 2024 but Toyota no longer offers the access cab. (xtra Cab only for 2024 swayed my decision) The suicide doors come in handy on my 2023. I plan to hold on to this truck for a long time. I am bummed out that the SR5 trim no longer has the cubby in the bed. I put my ratcheting straps In there. The best new feature IMO is that Toyota now offers an integrated trailer brake controller for the 2024’s.

I totally understand that the 4th gen Limited is not the same truck as the 3rd gen limited
Understood that the 3rd gen Limited is not the same truck as the 4th gen. I looked at the sr5 and just could not find one optioned up like the Limited had standard. Plus, I wanted the 18 inch wheels and the Nightshade package, and it may sound crazy, but I had to have the Homelink mirror with the garage door opener. So, the 3rd gen Limited pretty much ticks all the boxes. For me the truck is leaps ahead of the last Toyota PU I owned. In 1989, I bought a new xtra cab 4x4 dx. It was a 4 cylinder and felt like it had no power. It was a 5 speed manual. The V6 in the 3rd gen has loads more power and will do us just fine. We also had a budget and a number we just could not justify which is ultimately why I pulled the trigger on the third gen Limited rather than waiting for the 4th gen Limited which I suspected would be 10k more. Also, I have never had a V6 before so wanted to see what that was like. I'll keep it a couple of years and see how the 4th gen does once folks get some miles on them, give feedback, etc. and then maybe at that point, move to the 4th gen. I am taking an incremental approach I guess
