These timeframes line up exactly with what my dealer told me when I submitted my deposit.
Do we know where this came from? I just noticed the july publication date, although I doubt the production forecast will accelerate even with a newer notification.According to this official Toyota publication:
2024 Tacoma production begins in December (starting with 2.4L). Hybrid Tacoma production starts April 2024.
Yes it will. I was waiting over 2 years for a ranger raptor release and now decided on a pro when the reveal happened.Watching paint dry would be more enjoyable at this rate.
Ha I'm in the same boat. Never owned a Toyota but always loved the 4X4s, was planning to order a Ranger Raptor, but the new TRD Pro seems a clear front runner to me in a now very awesome midsize segment.
The hybrid Tacoma will be built in the Guanajuato, Mexico plant.
Yes, the final truck assembly with be in either of two plants in Mexico, but I was curious about where the 2.4 Turbo/Hybrid combo will be made. Possibly at several locations, engine, transmission, then final assembled somewhere? I would love to have a Toyota built from scratch in Japan, but in reality that probably does not happen. Am coveting the new Land Cruiser, which will offer the same engine/transmission as the Tacoma, and the hybrid for it is also delayed until spring, as with the Lexus twin to the Land Cruser, the GX550. Both the LC and GX550 will be "made in Japan".
Since the T24A is a direct replacement for the 2GR, I would fully expect US built models to continue with Alabama built engines.
By chance is that the plant which has been experiencing trouble with a shortage of employees? There was a news flash recently in this regard, but cannot recall which facility.
