I wish you could compare the TUNDRA and the Tacoma side by side on their website to see if you are getting the same trucks (feature wise excluding Eng and trans) .
I built a Trundra like I felt the Tacoma that I ordered was and there was about a $20000 diff.

My last tuck was a Tundra which I have had for 17 years best vehicle I ever owned never gave me any trouble and still looks like new (handed it down to my son)

But at this point I no longer need a full size truck

Pending TRD
Are you serious? I just went o the site and built a TRD OF Premium it’s just shy of $70K. What will the 2024 price be?? I would Love to get a PRO but that may be $90K. 🤯
Yah. I have my name on the list for a TRD Pro but I can't see going through with it as it will easily be well north of $80K. So, re-evaluating the entire mid-size market now.

Hi everyone-I'm new to the forum but I thought i would post in this thread as I will be buying my first Taco here in Canada and I just visited a dealership (Vancouver Island) and have an update on the Canadian Taco timeline.

I had dropped a deposit for a hybrid over the phone and finally went in to meet the sales person and get a rough quote since I have heard horror stories of marking over the MSRP price.
I found out that they are getting 2 gas models in mid January. A customer bought SR and a test drivable sport model.
I was told there was no build options you can do in Canada. If I want a bed liner or step then they do that at the dealership so its not an issue. I am out of luck for the spray on bed liner as there is nobody in town that sprays the bed :(
The other thing I was shocked about is they don't know if the sport model will come as a hybrid in Canada. In the USA the sport can be a hybrid but if you go on toyota.ca the base hybrid is the offroad trim. You cannot get the offroad in a premium 6 foot box and I don't want anything short of a premium build as I want the 360 degree camera system as i will be learning to tow a trailer.
I was super excited that neither the documentation fee nor the MSRP price never went up so I left a happy camper. When I got home I looked closer at the print-out. $399 for sound proof, $299.95 for Tire & Rim warranty-what the heck? Anyone know what these new addons are all about? I was told to add about $10K for the hybrid.
There are a lot of ways the dealer makes money and it's now become a "built-in" add-on. My last two vehicles were Hondas and I've also been dinged with the tire/rim warranty, identification etching at the port and all weather mats which were fine, but may have gotten Weathertech otherwise. I think all dealers do the same and we have to take it.

I had babied my 2008 Tundra SR5 for years and had hoped to hang onto it for a few more years, but my son wrote it off in an accident and we bought a CR-V. Spent probably $2000 on it over the years and most for new Toyota brakes. Really miss the truck feel and hoping the Tacoma works for our us empty nesters now.

Yes I hope this one is as good as the Tundra
I will be pulling a travel trailer with mine hopefully it is capable but the trailer is under the towing limit

Pretty lame how if you want a short bed with an automatic you have to spend $61k. Why can’t we get the non-premium OR, Sport or SR5 model in Canada?! Toyota is ridiculous with their vehicles up here.

I really wanted a Toyota, unfortunately the awful selection of trim levels we are given will push me into GM or a Ranger.

Yeeowch. $62K. Not surprised, but this isn’t yet the limited (but must be close). Nor the hybrid. Limited hybrid must be $70K when it comes. I was hoping $65, but maybe more reasonable to think $70k.

I agree with the majority, I'm comfortable paying 55k for mine, but 60-70k is just getting wild. If these are the prices for the gas models, the hybrids are going to be a massive flop. No way that TRD Pro is going to go for under 80k.

I'm guessing $76-78k for the TH and Pro. I'm planning on getting the hybrid OR Premium which should be around $66k before taxes if the hybrid cost is similar to Tundra. What do the TH and Pro have to justify more than a $10k premium over that?

60-70k is the reason I’m looking at a Tundra SR5. Everything I want and more in that trim and it takes me to 70k. Why go midsize and pay up when I can go full size. I have a baby on the way, so I’m thinking for the future as well cause the next 5 years of my life are gonna be crazy to say the very least.
