New 2024 Toyota Tacoma

[02SE]

Looks like it wasn't the ADD, and Toyota replaced the whole front diff so they could study it

The A.D.D. mechanism is part of the front diff housing/assembly, on previous Toyotas with A.D.D. I assume it is on the 4th gen Tacoma, too.

It would be great if a Toyota Engineer elaborated on exactly what failed.

This must be the stupidest video these clowns ever made.

I want my 25+ minutes back. Really dumb waste of time.

Yea-but so did GM with the new Colorado.

Yup…and it’s AMERICAN!

I had a 2014 Taco as a company truck and loved it with the 4.0 liter . When I was due to change 3 years later they had gone to the 3.5 which was not as appealing. Still driving the 2017 Tundra I chose instead.

Nothing is "American" anymore...

Do they still do those origin content percentage charts?

Tacoma v. Colorado

Would love to see that.

We have about 5 or 6 on our lot now. So far not a single one has sold after a few weeks in fact salesman reports they have gotten laughed at and sold a bunch of 2023 models and used models. We have 5 different packages too so far. I think by far the white base model looks the worst lol I had to do a PDI on it. I dig the wheels but that’s it. Just glad the cartridge filters are gone now. Haven’t seen a manual one in person yet though.

Sadly, that is somewhat true,
however, GM is an AMERICAN company. Toyota is a Japanese company.

I've owned two Toyotas in the last 31 years (in sig). I wish that they would break out of their "safe" thinking and have a section of the company put some more zing into models. Make a Tacoma/Tundra that would compete with the Raptors. A turbo V6 for the Tacoma similar to one would probably fly off the lots. Or just have it as an option which I think would be popular. They built the LFA at who knows how much to R&D. Money being left on the table, IMO.

Agreed.
The Japanese auto companies have never been able to obtain a large percentage of the domestic truck market. In addition, the domestics always come out ahead with head to head comparison reviews.
