No 6 foot bed option in TRD OR iForce Max Hybrid?

[ksilvest22]

It doesn't seem like the TRD OR trim with the iForce Max Hybrid engine will have a 6 foot bed option? Is this just a ploy to get people to either buy the regular iForce TRD ORs or pay for the overpriced trailhunter? Do you think this option will come eventually and take my chances on that happening or settle for the reduced horsepower and torque of the regular TRD OR trim? Thanks for your thoughts. Also, considering just a used 3 gen with a six foot bed instead. Toyota is not kind to tall people and Tundra is too big.

I was pretty disappointed by it too. I'm going for reg OR with a 6ft and there aren't many options for that even. My guess as to reason why is down to them looking at the 3rd gens sales and found most ppl went with 5ft when given a choice similar to the crew vs access cab. From talking to 3rd gen owners its mostly down to them buy and large wanting to fit them in their garages. For me though I want every foot I can get.

I feel you. I’m in the same spot right now. Debating 5 vs 6’ bed because that will determine whether or not I go hybrid. I drive in stop and go traffic all day and work out of my vehicle, so for me that small mpg gain and the 2400w inverter would make a measurable difference. But 6’ beds are so nice and practical — although parking that in downtown city traffic to do vendor pickups would be more painful.

I really hope they offer the OR hybrid with a 6’ bed in the future. I know they do listen to customer feedback and pay attention to what folks are saying to some extent at Toyota so if there’s enough of a push for it maybe it’ll be offered down the line. Who knows.

You won’t be disappointed!

Yeah I'm debating just settling for the reg OR with a 6 foot bed but hate how they make you go full upgrade premium for the 14inch monitor with multi terrain cameras for off roading. Going to test drive a 23 3rd GEN OR and 24 OR reg on Tuesday, both with 6 foot beds. The other option would be to wait longer but my current vehicle has 116k on it and I want something better. Have 20k down plus trade in and it will still be a $400 payment for the 24 OR reg.

The 6' beds look weird to me on this truck. Looks out of proportion.

Dont forget that you will be paying some ridiculous dealer markup for the Trailhunter + it comes that hideous bed rack and fugly wheels that will need to be replaced pronto. I have been shopping for a Trailhunter for the hybrid + 6ft bed combo and I am already sick of how pretentious the dealerships are. I especially love the "we dont charge a markup but we do add on a $1500 coat of wax." I like owning Toyotas, but I absolutely despise BUYING Toyotas.

It really is not a good buying process. I ended up just buying a slightly used six foot bed 2023 Tacoma with less than 2,000 miles, came with TRD Pro lift kit, TRD rims, rock sliders and new 33 inch Falken AT4 Wild Peaks for $46k. Plus I got my favorite Lunar Rock color isn’t available yet

Got sick of waiting on the 2024 and all the upselling. They still tried to charge me $4500 in extras and fees but just told that payment isn’t going to work and they dropped them. Helps that I had $23k to put down and perfect credit.

I’m happy with it so far.

Let me know when you snag one at MSRP and where you got it.

I'm very surprised they are not offering the hybrid on the Off Road with 6 foot bed. That being said, I am quite happy with the power of it so far. This is coming from sports cars (tuned BMW M4, 335, Subaru STI) and with a '21 4Runner. It's not Raptor level fast but it gets around well and the extra bed space is really nice. My personal opinion is that when you lift the 6 foot beds with more aggressive wheels/tires it actually looks more proportional than the 5 foot beds modified but I can understand the need for short wheel base if you rock crawl/wheel, etc.
