Thoughts? The Toyota truck fanbase is torn in half over these new generations of trucks.

Hmmmm…is it time to put my 2020 Tacoma manual with 12k miles up for sale?
Give it a year. Unless you expect it to take 6 months to sell.
If people really want a V6 midsize truck get the Frontier.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The frontier is exactly what midsize truck enthusiasts say they want.
People on this sub have a thing against Nissan
Unless you plan to keep this truck for 20 years I don’t see why you wouldn’t go with the new Canyon / Colorado. More interior space. More power and arguably more attractive exterior. I’m sorry but that taco chin guard is hideous. Also what’s going on with the rear seat in the Tacoma. Did it get smaller over the last generation?
The Tacoma’s hybrid powertrain bumps it above the Canyon for me. A little more powerful, but also a 2400W inverter in the bed.
Manual transmission.
Sadly the manual transmission is only on the lower end trims and only with the weaker powertrain option. This is why I bought the 23 Pro instead of waiting 6 months for these.
You can get it with the mid-range engine, you just can’t get it with the top hybrid powertrain. The mid-range engine has about the same amount of horsepower as the outgoing V6 and a lot more torque. It’s not a bad option.
This limits you away from getting the TRD Pro which was the trim I was shopping for specifically because I didn’t want to have to do any aftermarket modifications to the suspension or camera setup.
I want a 6ft bed
If the Colorado had a hybrid option I think it would definitely be the better buy.
if im getting a big truck i want a big engine with it, no ifs or buts
This is what the 3rd gen should’ve been. That shit was such a half step truck. You had the old chassis and body with a deep facelift, cheapened interior, and a powertrain that was arguably less stout then the previous 4.0 plus the 6 speed loved to stay in high gears.

I wouldn’t say that.
It’s just pointless gatekeeping that small turbo bad, hybrid bad, truck peaked 1995 and been going down hill ever since
Vs
“Hey new truck w all new drive train and transmission and body”
Nothing to Be Afraid Of
…except the $9950 ADM your local dealer wants to charge you.
I rented a 2022 Tacoma when I took a trip and I enjoyed it. My brother enjoyed it so much that he bought one. The biggest problem I have with the older model is that it’s a $27K truck being sold for $40K+. It’s such a cheap and old platform that it flat doesn’t deserve the price tag. The new model seems to fix that, but buying the first year of a new vehicle is always risky. You’re the beta tester for everyone else.
What’s the actual real world fuel economy? That’s what I want to know.
That big assed air dam in front is going to be the first casualty. Looks like the blade on a road scraper. Don’t like the new look either.

It looks a million times better than the Tundra. Tundra is one of the ugliest trucks I’ve ever seen.
It’s an overpriced pos just like any Toyota. There’s only one good car Toyota makes currently, and even that is because it’s 80% BMW.
Maybe they finally made a truck better than the second gen
Honestly it’s hilarious to see trucks move from NA V8 to turbo inline 4 cylinder engines. The relentless march of fleet efficiency regulations are changing everything.
The Taco never had a NA V8, only I4 or V6. The only model (so far) that typically has a V8 but now offers a turbo I4 as well is the Silverado/Sierra 1500, and even that one is only replacing the NA V6, not the V8s.
The Nissans still have the v8
