Do NOT Buy The 2024 Toyota Tacoma

I think buying the NEW 2024 Toyota Tacoma is a bad idea! This new Tacoma is packed with new features. Some are cool others not so much but each new feature has new technology behind it that can break over time.

I am sure this video will get some hate, that's okay. I personally would wait at least two years before buying a new Tacoma.

After hearing from the chief engineer of this platform and knowing that the turbo 4 cylinder that’s going into this truck has been used worldwide by Toyota for nearly a decade now on the Hilux, I’m not all that concerned. Toyota generally knows what they’re doing. I’d take a chance on a new model Toyota any day over anything that Ford, GM or Stellantis put out there.

Despite the title saying dont buy a 2024 tacoma i 100% plan to buy a 2024 tacoma.

I disagree, I want the heated/cooled seats. The bigger display, better audio, auto tailgate. I think I'm gonna get the Limited with all the bells and whistles and comfortable ride.

My issue with Tacoma is they always spread out the desirable features across different trims so you can't get exactly the truck you want. Whether it's the manual, a sunroof, 4x4, bed length, cab style...the only thing you get in every trim is a lack of head room in the rear seats.

The simplicity of the previous generations of Tacoma's were part of the charm.

Tell us you really want a 4th gen, without telling us you really want a 4th gen.
Most of these videos are coming from 2nd, 3rd, gen owners knowing their truck is inferior to the 4th gen.

[marcdelvalle]

Agree with most of these points.

Just wanted to say that Toyota has had years of experience with hybrids in the Prius and I would def trust that powertrain.

Going to wait for the mid cycle refresh for them to do something different with that front bumper

Let Toyota bullet-proof it? Do you realize that Toyota tests their vehicles in other markets for literally years? I probably will, and would have no reservations buying one of these. The additional features make this very intriguing. You’re way off base.

Here we go... old schoolers pushing back. Tundra 5.7 V8 lovers did the same thing. The new gen Tundras are sick and so will the Tacoma's. Take a back seat if you wish.

[phillipsipe]

Get the base if you want simplicity, it’s that simple.

Toyota has more experience with turbos/hybrids than any other manufacturer, so I'm not really concerned about the drivetrain. That said, buying the initial release of a complete redesign from ANY manufacturer is just asking for trouble. 3rd gen Tacoma, new Tundra, new Broncos, etc. etc. Wait until year 2 at least, mid-cycle refresh would be best. I'm extremely happy with my 2015, last model year of the 2nd gens. Reliability perfected. Protect the frame and it should be bulletproof.

I think the new gen Tacoma is meant for a very specific crowd. I love what my 3rd gen came with and I'm not worried about where people think it's lacking. I have no interest in looking into a 4th gen Tacoma. I'm also a fan of the "dated" appearance of the 3rd gen taco.

[jpadamada]

i got the 2023 and I'm glad I finally found a video that isn't all 100% for the new 24 because I literally thought the same thing about the new gadgets (more things to break).

[akdular]

You said do not buy, why you have one on the back?

[DJXPLRS]

The updates to the 4th Gen Tacoma are exciting. But I agree, it will take a couple years to work out the bugs. Same thing happened when the 3rd gen came out.

[cannyx]

I suspect you're 100% correct. The 'features' of the new truck are definitely not DIY maintanence friendly.

[paytonpayton]

I agree with the too much stuff that we don’t need that can break. I believe it’s planned obsolescence from the manufacturers. They want more stuff to break without saying it. They also want to charge you for features as standard equipment even though I don’t want it or need it. We are slaves in the system. We don’t choose we obey.

[ingjpquelix]

Finally someone says the truth... I mean don't get me wrong I am a Toyota lover but all this new tacos that are coming in, no way. I think people need to wait.

[ericsoto]

I completely agree with everything he said. With that being said I’m still buying one

[grasslad]

This is exactly why I have gotten so frustrated seeing the Tiktoks, youtube videos, etc where people list their gripes and complain about the Tacoma that consist of the lack of electronics and features. This is why those that buy them have them! The reliability of new vehicles without the nonsense attached that will break and fail. It really is disappointing that there are now no barebones, simple trucks left.

Those who complain about these things really miss what made 1st through 3rd gen trucks so great. You want rear A/C, Wifi, and force inducted engines? Great, pick up literally any other new vehicle on the road.

It's a sad day for simplistic rig lovers.
