Toyota is really dragging their feet on the 2025 Tacoma Info....

[JWestie]

More than half the vehicles on the lot at my local Toyota dealer are Tundras or Tacomas. Counted 40 total when I was there yesterday. SR5s in particular are not moving very fast, even w/3-4K discounts on the window. Saw a beautiful TRD-OR LB in bronze oxide with all the fixins' but its just not a justifiable purchase for someone with a sub-100K 3rd gen thats been customized to meet my needs.

Toyota went too aggro on pricing at the same time they went hard on some modernization choices that not everyone agreed with.


I really think they are just letting inventory get as low as they can because as soon as they make the 25 official 24 sales will really slow down.

I'm patiently waiting the new color choices for the PreRunner since Solar Octane is so hard find in a extended cab. Hoping the 25s are announced soon, only 5 more weeks before the New Year.

Also looks like Celestial Silver is being replaced with Cutting Edge Silver. Hoping the Tacoma gets the driver memory?

first i've heard of this - what's your source?

I had to laugh at the guy who bought the Maverick. As many of us know you have to out and grab it. Blue is in short supply but they were available. Unless your in a major population center, waiting for one to arrive that is outfitted to your specs is just like playing the lottery.

Yes and no. Because of inflation, everything went up about 20% from 2019, and with the market demanding SUV’s and pickups, 46k 3rd gens became 55k 4th gens. Just because the rate of inflation is down, doesn’t mean the price of things go down, they are just going up more slowly.

That said, when the market is oversupplied due to high costs and interest on discretionary spending items, like new trucks, discounting occurs on existing supply, as we’ve been seeing for the last few months.

Toyota is smart to hold off on announcing the 25‘s since that would put additional discounting pressure on the existing stock of 24’s.

Now with the tariff announcement, the discounting pressure may ease as sellers realize that some buyers will enter the new pickup market while they can before the tariff’s hit. Even if they don’t, those driven by the fear that they will, will pay more now. Market psychology is interesting For sure.

They have not announced anything but they are showing up on the web site. Only thing missing is color and some are all ready listed as sold.

Throughout the grapvine ive called dealerships all over country, im on eastcoast……yesterday i called “ scotsdale arizona, The guy told me they are end of 2024 order, ..i played stupid and asked about 2025,s. And colors, he said. As we know “ mudbath, and Terra, Solar octane is dropped and he said the existing colors we see now will be carried over ? Then asked if i wanted to order 2025…lol. Anybody looking for solar octane. They must have at least 7-8 in different models.

No source, other than the 2025 4runner will be offered in cutting edge silver vs celestial silver. But maybe the two models will be distinct with their silver paint, who knows. I'd really like to see Magnetic Grey return...and don't lock it out to certain trims and packages.

 

[TacoFreak]

@MustardTiger I always liked Magnetic Grey too. But it has been around for a long time and I kind of doubt that it will return. Underground is similar, and I like them both, but wanted Magnetic Grey on my last Tundra but couldn't find one.

 

[SilverSurfer]

I’d choose mag grey over underground because I expect underground to show every little chip and scratch.

 

[MustardTiger]

@SilverSurfer 100% agree. I don't think Underground is going to age well. Really wish Toyota had better paint and more colours

I love my Solar Octane Off Road 6’ box, soon to be rarer if they do not carry the colour over to 2025.
Wish my work wasn’t in such an industrial area so it’s not always dirty and muddy.
My first Toyota, washing it is fun but finding the time to is challenging.
I like Supersonic Red maybe better, but here it was only available in the top trim.
If there is a must have option or colour in the next couple years I may upgrade but I love my ‘24 Taco. FWIW, I am a Gen 1 and Gen 4 Tacoma fan only.

 

[SilverSurfer]

Me too…

FYI, the 2025 4Runner configurator is live on Toyota.com. The 2025 Tacomas can’t be far behind.
