2024 Tacoma Revealed! Now With Hybrid Model 🔋

[Slobberdawg]

good luck do you know which one you want?

Thank you. A TRD Sport like the 2018 I had. The only thing that might sway me is if they announce a release date on the Stout which would suit my needs a little better. I can get by with my Ridgeline until I get what I want. It is really not a bad truck and I do like the 2 way tailgate and the lockable trunk in the bed.

Still no info about the Tacoma Hybrid's MPG? I'm guessing it's not gonna be impressive, otherwise Toyota would probably be bragging about it by now.

It is similar to the 2021 rav4 limited hybrid I had which was rated 41/38.

Don’t wait for hoax that’s not coming . A trd sport will be 41kish if you get the stick which I assume you want to get .

No it’s more like tundra .
Well, it delivers an EPA-estimated return of 20 mpg in the city and 24 mph on the highway, for a combined rating of 22 mpg.Jan 9, 2023
More like 22 and 26 for combined 25 .

From me most tacomas have been too short in leg department .,. Cant really fit family 4 comfortably .

My 2018 TRD Sport held 5 comfortably including 2 6' tall teenage grandsons with no complaints. (And those two rarely can't find something to complain about.) I have heard the 2024 will be slightly smaller than my old truck so I will just have to see when one is available to check out.

I will be shocked if it can get those kinds of MPGs. I'm thinking 30s in the best case scenario.

I am pretty sure the one I want will be more than that. I don't want a stick for sure. I want something similar to what I had on my 21 rav4 limited hybrid which was around 40k with 360 view and most of the optional packages.

They will have some sort tech package , tow hitch if that’s what you need /want if that’s case then I could see 44k

Interesting. I see posts from people claiming that the wait time for delivery of a new Taco is 18-24 months, or actually longer than the wait for a Mav.

Have no use for a Toyota anything as they are garbage. After having to get rid of a Dodge Dakota with 240,000 miles and having to getting another vehicle in 2005 and deciding on a new Toyota Tundra, which turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. The Toyota was a piece of junk. I had it for 6 months of which most of that it was in the shop, and seeing a Subura Baja on the road, I traded the Tundra in for a Baja and loved it for over 17 years until I was able to take possession of my 2022 Maverick and then my Baja and Maverick got to say hello and goodbye. I would not take a Toyota even if it was free, and when offered one to rent ask for anything else.

I am sorry you had a bad experience with your tundra, I had a 2007 tundra and a 2010 tundra both great trucks and never had any problems with either. I also had a sienna, a highlander, a prius, a tacoma and rav4 hybrid with no issues ever. Don't just take my word for it, toyotas are quality vehicles. If you look at JD Powers reliability ratings, toyota is 5/5 and ford is 3/5.

-more likely 23-26 at best for the hybrid.

With WAY more power output, a turbo, and the increased drag the Tacoma has compared to the Rav-4, there is zero chance it has similar efficiency.

I don't mind giving up mileage for added hp and torque. You can't have it all.

Yep your right and it was great to talk with you also. Tried the sport mode already, and will have to continue to use it to see if it is for me. Am going to try to get to the rally Sunday in Simi Valley although 54 miles seems like a lot, what am I thinking less than 2 gallons of gas, but the time might be a factor.

Believe me, I don't use sport mode very often as it's a little too aggressive for my tastes. Normal is just fine for my driving style, but occasionally, I find myself needing a bit of an adrenaline shot and I'll put her in the red zone.
When's the Simi Valley meet?
