🤔 Are you concerned about the reliability of the latest Tacoma model? 👉 Avoid the 2025 GMC Canyon? Here Are 7 Deal-Breakers You Need to Know! WATCH IT NOW HERE! 🎬 th-cam.com/video/Kh1yuS3ITy0/w-d-xo.html
I have been driving the small Toyota trucks since 1985. I had one I ran for 16 years and my current 2010 Tacoma is going on 15 years, both with hardly an issue beyond routine wear and tear. I believe Toyota made a mistake with the '24 redesign and there are too many issues and question marks for me to buy the new Tacoma. I will most likely buy a Honda Ridgeline in 2025. With it's naturally aspirated V6, legions of satisfied customers and Honda's good name I think it's a better choice for me. As they say all good things come to an end.
@conehead44534453 Treat it tenderly. Transmissions, shock towers, and diffs are all noted to be weak. TSB already in place for total transmission replacement. Crazy times at the big T. Ridiculous prices for cheap Mexican labor and it all goes in Toyotas pockets, while they obviously skimp on components.
With a reliable naturally aspirated V6, ( * The bulletproof former V6 with a better quality transmission), rear disc brakes, more rear legroom/ body room, better quality interior finishes, and prices in the former price range ( we know that most likely there would be a small price increase, starting at the base price); but don’t use your excuse to gouge just because you think you can.
@@B126USMCWhat you just described is the NISSAN Frontier! Unfortunately, it doesn't have a big T on the grille, which seems to matter to fanboys much more than the actual product.
I love mine. I was worried before buying but it’s a great truck so far. Has all the power I need and off roading is a breeze. Just hope it stands the test of time.
Pricing too high. Id rather buy the top of the line Nissan Titan with its 5.6 liter V-8 for the TRD Pro money. Come back to reality Toyota. Stellantis is already in financial crisis with Jeep and Dodge pricing.
If it’s going to be assembled in Mexico, they’re saving $$$..so spend some of that saved $$$, on nicer materials on interior..how about driver/passenger electric/memory seats..how about lowering the price of the vehicle back down to a reasonable level, it is, after all, a mid size,,not a full size!!
I've owned many Toyotas. I've owned many Tacomas too, but I will NEVER buy this late model 24-25 Tacoma! Toyota has come under new management and they no longer care about customer service. I've experienced this very clearly myself. Toyota Customer Service has crapped all over me! I will NEVER buy another Toyota after being loyal to the brand since 1985, but not any more! TOYOTA SUCKS!
I think you hit each nail, on the head..especially, the turbo 4…it may have been tested on a car, but we’re talking about towing..uphill grades, with heavy loads/trailers..MUCH DIFFERENT then in a car, or non towing life…
technical problems I dont care about. This has always been an issue with Toyota first year or so run.. They usually fix them. My problem is price. Geezus, its not funny anymore Toyota.
When every car manufacture makes new and upgraded changes to any of their vehicles there are going to be hiccups, name one that hasn't had any issues!! I have a 2024 Tacoma and I love it, I am a lease person as I don't put alot of miles on my vehicles and if anything breaks down on it I'm covered 100% including a rental, peace of mind for me!!! Yes I will always have a payment but I like a new every two or three. Yes their trucks are way over priced but the fact that there are so many sitting at my dealers lot it was a perfect bargaining chip for me, I got the deal I wanted and didn't budge!!!! I had a 2014 Tundra and loved it but it was time for an upgrade and since I don't tow big stuff it was too much truck for me. My Tacoma is perfect and super fun to drive and I use every safety feature!! So for those afraid to take a chance on any new car or truck, just make sure you get a full warranty with it whether your buying or leasing!! Hey you just might like it!!!
In my profession I see first hand the recalls on vehicles made in Mexico, the workmanship is absolutely terrible. No fs given, get it built and out the door asap. I will be holding onto my gen 3 tacoma indefinitely.
Too many compromises made to accommodate the hybrid system. Everything from seats that no longer flip down with a plastic tray that you can use to the price increases. You can't even get a power sliding rear window as standard. None of the Tacomas competition offers a hybrid option, therefore they can offer better pricing with better options than what you get from this heap. As a long time Tacoma fan I just don't see one of these in my future at least not without some major price drop which I don't believe is possible again because of the hybrid and the fact that they (Toyota) have to pay for it somehow. Just my 2c.
Toyota shouldn’t be letting governments ( the liberals) tell them what to do. They need to be their own boss No government should be able or allowed to tell a reliable business/ company what to do. Period. Tell those ‘go green’ , save the planet sheet-heads to find another beech!
The only good point you made is about price. All of your other reasons are pure speculation. I have 4k on a 2024 Taco and couldn't be happier. Do a poll of existing owners. Powerplant and transmission is awesome.
Tacoma needed to have better pricing, unless the truck turn out to be unreliable these things will sell like hot cake when the motor vehicle market bounce back.
I very hope Toyota fix all issue. I want switch to new Tacoma but I going to wait due to all issue the new Tacoma having . Me personally hope Toyota come back to top.
Went out this year and found a near new 2023 Tacoma…not a chance I would get the new generation at this time. Gonna have to prove their reliability and lower the price. Oh and just as important Toyota needs to end their woke DEI nonsense
Until Toyota get rid of turbo in the engines they will continue to slide. Toyota philosophy was to earn trust and have customers for life. Now Toyota thinks only about short term profits. I think Toyota will continue to put out poor vehicles. Toyota knows that after 3 years customers forget their bad experiences. Toyota knows profits.
I bought my first Toyota in 94 a 93 p.u. never looked back, since then I've bought nothing but Toyota/Scion but for sure I see what you are saying, they are pricing themselves out of my comfort zone.
I can’t buy any vehicles built in Mexico, sorry, I’ll be shamed by friends and neighbors here in Michigan. I would buy one built in Texas like the second Gen.
No, you have cited NO facts. ,actually. You've recited fanboy fantasy. Nissan Frontier is NOT eating its own transmissions and diffs and shock towers like Mexican soft Taco. Just you try to refute that with your fanboy "facts." Go ahead.

Need to bring back the V6 and the price back to reality
Fearing the new model I bought the 2023!
SAME HERE!
Me to
Ditto
Same here, 22
Still a bad decision, don’t buy anything with a key fob. Buy rebuilt, the best guys in the country for rebuilds are easy to find.
I will not be buying any new Toyota with their turbo charged small engines no thanks
Turbo engines is one of many reason not to buy the 2024 Toyota Tacoma and I don’t care about the New 2025 Tacoma either.
The thought of 4/cyl turbo will never subside and that's why I'm holding on to my 21' Tacoma TRD Pro (white) for liiiiiiiiiiife!!!!!
Tacoma crisis: 1. Price. 2. No V6 engine. Everything else is peripheral to these.
I woukd add barely any leg room in there as well
Junk transmissions are a bit of a problem too.
Blowing out suspension and cv joint explosion too.
All manufacturers are doing this thanks to upcoming government regulations. Even the
Frontier will be 4cyl soon.
I'm sure glad I went out and bought a new 2023 SR5 4 Wheel Drive 6 Cylinder before they became difficult to find.
Smart move!
Yesyesyes
Same

I bought a 2024 in August, after 3000 miles I love it, no problems so far.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
same here 2k miles love it
Better buy extended warranty
I bought a 24 Tacoma this past April have 5500 miles not a problem at all. Nobody says it’s perfect but neither is any other brand .

Drop the price where your loyal customers can afford them and they will sell.

@@jeanclaude7018lol brother, you said it. Brand loyalty is an epidemic
Nissan Frontier ….great truck , good price.
Yup. The most underrated and under appreciated truck on the market.
We are not breaking our back for Toyota corporate greed.

RIP Toyota no v6 , don't buy, never turbo, fire Toyota chief engineer shelden,
Fire the CEO…. He’d be the one who calls the ‘shots’
The CEO gives the “orders”
The ‘flock’ / minions have to obey his orders
Not sure Sheldon had a choice. Emissions standards
@@itsallminor6133 there is always a choice, don't support it they will change.
@@itsallminor6133somehow Nissan still has a V6. No excuses
No V6 and to much good bye toyota 😂😂😂
Tacoma is dead to me. Ridiculous price, turbo 4, and made in Mexico. Fire the engineer in charge and the bean counter who set the price.
If it’s going to be assembled in Mexico, they’re saving $$$..so spend some of that saved $$$, on nicer materials on interior..how about driver/passenger electric/memory seats..how about lowering the price of the vehicle back down to a reasonable level, it is, after all, a mid size,,not a full size!!
@@rstumbaugh43They're spending the Mexican soft Taco profits on replacement Tundra engines!

I have owned three Tacoma's and a 93 Toyota pickup that was not called a Tacoma.
I bought ac2023 SR5 4x4. Never looking back
Interesting article.
I’ll keep my Gen 3, but if they come out with a diesel 4 cylinder at decent price I’d look at it.
I'm already wishing I hadn't traded my 2019 TRD Sport 4x2 double cab long bed in Calvery blue for a 2024 SR-5 4WD double cab long bed.

Put the v6 back in and get rid of the turbo. Lower the price to be more competitive.
Oh, and the New Toyota Tacoma is ugly and cheap. Epic failure Toyota. Do not buy!
Welcome to EPA regulations. Hopefully the new government trashes all those garbage regulations and we get diesel tacomas
Almost every other country has them, my cousin in N.Z. loves his! lots of power and good fule economy!
Love my 2024 Tacoma SR5 so far.
Love my 2024 tacoma!!!!!!

Made in MEXICO. The cartels love Toyota.
That whathappened when Tacoma made in Mexico 🇲🇽 no qualify control Japan 🇯🇵 qualify control yes
😎😎which car it's best ford and g.m.c or Chevrolet? If Toyota not good
Frontier

4 cylinder turbo mid size truck for 65k is not worth the money. Plenty of other trucks out there.
Tacoma needed to have better pricing, unless the truck turn out to be unreliable these things will sell like hot cake when the motor vehicle market bounce back.
I very hope Toyota fix all issue. I want switch to new Tacoma but I going to wait due to all issue the new Tacoma having . Me personally hope Toyota come back to top.
Don’t “hold your breath “
@@B126USMC I know
Why not just buy Frontier now, instead of waiting for Saint Toyota to get it together?
Only buy..made/built in japan..more quality and durability...imo
That's a TOYOTA problem. Nissan builds in Mississippi without the typical Toyota drama. Amazing.

Toyota new land cruiser is smaller and cheaper. Let's see how it does.
300 series was not selling well only 3,000 a year. Therefore, Toyota gave the USA and Canada the 250 series Land cruiser.
Fanboys will fork out the dough.
Problem: It's not designed in Japan.
Never was designed in Japan

Toyota also knows fanboy psychology well. They will pay any price for the name they have identified with.
Why?😊
I can’t buy any vehicles built in Mexico, sorry, I’ll be shamed by friends and neighbors here in Michigan. I would buy one built in Texas like the second Gen.
Frontier built in USA with USA labor. Mississippi.
The competition is still more unreliable! Facts
No, you have cited NO facts. ,actually. You've recited fanboy fantasy. Nissan Frontier is NOT eating its own transmissions and diffs and shock towers like Mexican soft Taco. Just you try to refute that with your fanboy "facts." Go ahead.
all the New Toyota's are disappointing.
The new Tacoma is garbage!!
Love my 2024 tacoma. Built in late july, well past the trans issue builds. All mid size trucks are super pricey. If u dont like it, dont buy it.
Colorado ZR2 is a Way better Deal. So is the Ranger Raptor, Which now you can buy a Warranty Backed tune to Up the Output to 450hp.
Such an ugly redesign. Toyota dropped the ball on this on top of the horrible rear leg room and astronomical price
3rd Gen had that iconic silhouette/shape.
The 4th Gen, look like a baby Tundra.
@Kuya_Gil when I see it in my rear view mirror it looks like a Kia. The tundra looks way better than this.
@@Adrenaline89JunkyTundra is seriously ugly too.
New Toyota design language:
"Make it as shockingly ugly as possible. Fanboys will LOVE it."
Mission accomplished!
The only issue here is the price!
