From excited to feeling nervous about my Tacoma Limited order

[bitflogger]

That's because you're a reasonable person that grew up before the internet was around to give literally EVERYONE a chance to voice their idiotic opinions to the masses.

I didn't need the 6-ft bed myself, and wanted to park my truck in the garage, but to each his own. And if I need to haul something bigger that isn't messy... I can use the wife's minivan.

Enjoy your truck!

You have the Sienna which is funny to me. We traded ours and it was in part sparking the long bed requirement. I ended taking over our prior gen SE, and my wife an AWD wagon with manual transmission.

My pickup will not fit in our garage. So far it has been good as I move from my career into retirement, trail building, ski area crew and redeveloping a property.

It was actually a challenge to find/wait/get a long bed as I wanted it and at same time a friend finally won his game to get a 2024 XSE AWD. My sports pals will be upset come ski season to not have the Sienna anymore.

There were tears from some in the family when the Sienna was gone. Beyond nice and reliable it served the kids years, was the hauler during years of cancer care and surgery, and death of a family member. Also a hauler for the most joyous times, epic trips, happy times and 3 kids to college. Kind of one of those machines that might actually have some spirit.

Our 2024 Tacoma has big shoes to fill because the 4 Toyotas before it were so good.

That Sienna is why I bought the Taco. We had the previous gen, and absolutely loved it. It was like a member of the family, similar to what you mentioned. The new one is miles better in every way (except maybe interior space, by a tiny margin) and once I sat in it, I knew my next vehicle would be a Tacoma or 4Runner. Toyota isn’t cheap these days, but they’ve stepped up their game in the tech and interior materials departments.

I've had my TRD PRO for 2 weeks, 750 miles and loving it so far.

Crossed 580mi of nuking hot desert day #2 of owning this taco. Day #1 was spent mall crawling the Caeser’s Palace fountains. I wouldn’t worry about anything, get a roadside policy and send it.

I was wondering how the TH wheels would look on my Taco. I have to say I’m surprised by how good the bronze/silver combo looks.

I'll just say, I was so focused on whether or not I was ok overlooking the transmission issues; I never gave enough consideration to the many other issues and complaints being reported regarding the truck. Are you ok with the tiny gas tank giving you less range than an electric vehicle? The engine is very unrefined, and the transmission is sloppy. The ride has definitely improved...the seat is more comfortable, but somehow this truck feels much smaller. Also, it's basically a 2 seater. You're not putting 4 grown adults in this truck with any expectation of them being comfortable.


I'm about 2,000 miles in and I think that's enough. I'm shopping year end deals, I'll take my medicine, take the hit, and move on.

If it means anything the transmission has performed as expected I guess. No issues, it's just sloppy. That kind of sums up my experience with the truck. It hasn't blown up, but it's just disappointing. I'll be taking a break from Toyota for a while, thats for sure.

6200 Trouble Free Miles and tons of fun. This was at work after I finished lifting it a few weeks ago

How do you like the Duratrac RTs? What’s the size, load range, and ride comfort ?
