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

[MustardTiger]

Soooo I'm waiting for this (2025 TRD Sport Premium, 6ft, WCP)....due end of January (likely first week of Feb)...

And....this came up today. Fully loaded. Test drove it, got a deal price. It's the same out the door price as the Taco, albeit a (new) 2024. I'm literally torn!

Go with your gut @MustardTiger. They are both nice trucks and I bet you would end up being happy with either one.

There was a time when I would have said to go with the Toyota for reliability and resale value, but I don't know that is a given at this point. I love my truck and I love Toyotas but it would be short sighted not to admit that Toyota has slipped.

does the Chevy still have carplay, cause that was a deal breaker for me

@TacoFreak it's a really tough decision! I love my old Tundra...but it's also "old Toyota quality". I want to believe that the new ones still have the same lineage and legacy of quality within...but it remains to be seen at this point. Even so, I absolutely love the Tacoma, and think it's the better engineered truck all around. Toyota puts a pile of money and time into the engineering and development of their trucks...it's something that's so important and they cannot mess it up (...I say that looking the other way at the 3.4TT engine debacle).

The Colorado does lack some features (no Homelink is available across the platform, rear seat back does not fold, no power passenger seat (only available on the Canyon), no lane centering driving assist, rear sliding window is not power, no aluminum body panels, only one body configuration, etc. The 2.7T looks good on paper (310HP/430TQ)...but actual road performance is quite slow, and loud. Sounds like a bucket of marbles. But...it does offer automatic 4wd! And the ZR2 sure does look cool. I worry about reliability, and lower resale value...

@evlfred yep it has both wireless carplay and android auto

Automatic 4wd is why I ordered the limited max

Sweet! I just saw a silver TH this afternoon and it look great.

Enjoy and post more pictures!

Thanks. I picked it up this evening. I can’t wait to see it in the daylight. The dealer sent me another pic after they washed it.
