2024 Toyota Tacoma Manual: Should You Get The Manual? 

Nice truck but $50,000 is insane

“Should you get the manual?” Yes. Without a second thought. 😎

$50,000! Come on really! $50,000! for a sport model. They move production to Mexico and then upcharge. Just obscene.

50 grand and all those missing buttons.

Ordered a manual. Should be in next month. Can’t wait.

Thank you to Toyota! I thought I’d never be able to own another manual again. I’m in a 6MT civic now and this truck is at the top of my wishlist.

Under $39k would be nice

I double don't like that big screen shouting in your face. I am an old time driver and like to watch the road and drive. 55 years and no at fault accidents.

I purchased a new SR5 Truck in 1990 and it was the V-6 with a manual trans. it was fun..

I hope toyota decides to put this manual in the new 4runner. I know 2025 doesn't have it but maybe 2026 or 2027. I would LOOOOOOVE to have a new 4runner as a manual. That would be so much fun! So one thing about the brake hold, its too bad it doesn't work while you're out of the vehicle. I'd love to have a second set of brakes on the wheels when I'm launching my boat. One wrong move for the parking brake and I'm having my total-loss toyota fished out of the bottom of the Mystic River.

Its $1,100 less with the manual

More than the price of my '20 TRD PRO !

I wouldn't buy a new Tacoma for the same reason I wouldn't pay 20k for a bicycle.

Yes. We have to demand more vehicles with manual transmissions. We're currently looking for a new vehicle for my wife. Might trade in the manual Impreza on a manual Tacoma. The Bronco and Wrangler are the other ones we're looking at. They're all too expensive though. Eventually I need a new truck too. But we have to tow 3 horses, so the most recent truck with a manual trans was the 2018 Ram with the G56 6-speed. If ANY full sized truck brings back the manual that's what I'm going with.

Just think how many more trucks toyota would be selling if they listened to loyal owners and put a V6 naturally aspirated in them? I would have been a new 1st time toyota truck owner 5 weeks ago if they did......instead i bought a new Nissan Frontier pro4x. Zero regrets.

In Hawaii, Toyota is king and Tacoma's are the most popular trucks. One of the reasons is that they are built to last (200,000 mileage club) and they hardly loose value. Their depreciation rate is minimal in Hawaii. I recently bought my 3rd Toyota Tacoma. I had an 03', then 15' Taco and now 2024 Tacoma Sport. I went for the premium package with all the bells and whistle to include heated and cooling seats, & 14" screen. I love the look of the Underground gray. I am a true fan of this truck with all of its updates inside and out, I get honks and shaka's everywhere I go.

It might not be diesel, but a manual would be the best decision your gonna make in life. 300,000 miles easy.

People forget and are bewildered by numbers. It is a truck so being able to actually use the torque (IE: staying in a slightly higher gear and using some turbo boost) you actually get economy and hauling power up hills loaded etc. The auto simply detects load and keeps kicking down until higher RPMs and load reduction are achieved and then the engine is out of its torque band and into the HP ranges. Why I ALWAYS bought Cummins Dodge manuals.

Was goin to get this rig and then found the pricing and completely underwhelming specs on the truck overall. If GM would put a stick behind the 2.7L it would be an absolute blast.

Funny after years of making small work trucks with regular cabs the one ton model they ehere all pretty much manuals and the stock bed was 6 feet the one ton was a 7 footer they even had flat beds with dual rear wheels and 6 cylender engines all vinyl interior just wash it out every now and then i had a gmç full size but working in the city it was like parking a car.

That is a nice $35k truck!

Yes. It's more fun to drive and will last longer

I have a turbo truck with a manual. Its a 2004 ford ranger

ty for sharing, it's a great looking truck but at it's price point it doesn't offer enough or sway from a fullsize,

Crazy expensive

Got a brand new double cab 4x4 manual SR for $41k out the door. I just researched all the trucks before I bought this and the other brands are maybe 1 to 2,000 less not a big deal that's a small price to pay to get what you want I don't know why everybody's talking about 50K for a truck yeah have you seen that 1500 trucks or 72,000 now Don't hold it against this truck because everything's going up.

still glad I bought a 2023 taco while i could.

That huge screen takes away from the pickup truck vibes. I like the last edition better you got a real physical gauge clusters too not that lcd stuff

The frontier is a no-brainer for bang of its buck😊

Seemed like a lot of lurching on your upshifts , Did you find you really had to slow your shifts down with that extreme rev hang to smooth things out ?

Stop being greedy Toyota! If you can drop the price to 45K at least people will buy them like crazy.

I've had 10 toyota small trucks over then last 40 years my first one was about as basic as you can get didn't even have power steering my tally is up to 10 and that's as far as I can go I've been priced out of the market but everyone I've had including the 2017 out in the driveway I don't even think I could drive and automatic at this point but all I ever wanted was simple reliable transportation and just getting that alone isn't possible anymore

U need to shave and cut your hair Grizzly Adams

50k…😂 we all gotta start a movement where we go to our local Toyota dealerships and just point and laugh at the sales department

$50,000. For a Toyota compact pickup. Ludicrous.

The manuals take a while to break in, I have a ‘22 TRD Sport w a stick.

One secret for parents stick shift makes texting harder and less appealing.

If u wanna save money just get base v6 manual no leather seats sunroof u save like 10k plus everyone want the 50k

I am waiting to take delivery of a Tacoma SR with the 6 speed manual. I can’t wait!

Turbos bite ! Sorry !

Ppi n cpi all smoke n mirrors. No more than a $35k truck

Unless your legs are broken, buy the manual!

I wish the Gladiator had a turbo 4 cylinder with manual, too.

Lose 8 HP at the flywheel, but the manual has less friction, I'd be curious to test both auto and manual at the rear wheel.

That's an nice truck. It's cool they brought back an manual

Is it true new Tacomas aren't selling as much as expected ???

Expensive is'nt?

I’ve driven manuals all my life. But if I’m spending $50K I’d buy it with the 8 speed automatic for convenience.

Yes

I love how practical and tool like most Toyota products are but their beeping and buzzing safety alerts is a legit deal breaker for me.

The red 80 series in the background is the best...looks just like my '94 👍

Nobody should be buying the new tacos getting less for more money unlike the other auto makers what a joke!

Question, why doesn’t “The Flyin Freckle”🥱 choose to drive a 6-speed manual 2024 Tacoma??😳

The 8 speed auto is sweet! I can go into manual mode if I want to act like the old days...😂

That’s what kind of truck I want, but in an extended cab version only but Toyota doesn’t make them no more but it’s a pretty cool taco

What’s crazy is the sr5 and the trd or are not that different in price. A few thousand at most from base to base.

Does the SR5 come in manual

I love manuals and I’d just like to say Ben does a great job

His content is getting worse, so sloppy and doesn't finish his words

Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro(2nd generation), simply the best

Does the clutches start button remember that you pushed it? How do you hold it and push the start button with them both on the right side? (ya used to have to hold it)

You shouldn’t get this truck Manuel or auto

I really wanted a Off Road Manual but in Canada it’s 51k at 8% financing, I’m not doing that right now

Do they have not turbo in Manuel?

That no brake function is yag!

Very bright color and it's good looking truck

Just ordered mine. So excited!

Yeah Manuals are the best

Bro why are you so adorable? Hit the gym and get some tesosterone in little buddy

Manuals all the time

He Upshifts too soon.

Far and above better than the other generations of this truck. I love everything about it.

Reverse is in the wrong place, but other than that I'm always happy to see a manual transmission in a truck. If it weren't for the really poor rear seat room and the fact that I'm 6'2, I'd probably try to get one of these. Unfortunately, they just don't have room for taller people. Same problem with the Ford Ranger. Regardless, I hope tons of people get the 6MT. It's just better in every way compared to an automatic. I noticed you were shifting way too early in the power band, and definitely before the turbos could even engage, so that might explain why you didn't think it felt like it had much power. That's not the 6MT's fault. Holding a gear into the 3K rev range would change performance drastically. If you've ever driven a manual Subaru WRX, you'll understand the importance of holding a gear into the higher rev range to get to the real power in the turbocharged engine. Below 2500 revs, the car feels like kind of a dog. But once you pass 3000, the turbos wake up and it suddenly eats Mustangs for breakfast!!

is it GAS or Diesel?

get a frontier

Far and above better than the other generations of this truck. I love everything about it.

Do not buy a manual - we had a manual Jeep Liberty for 8 years and now have an automatic. Everything is so much easier with an automatic, especially backing up trailers and campers.

Definitely get the automatic. The manual is an outdated relic from a bygone era. The auto has more power, is more durable, and is quicker. Who wants to pump a clutch and bang gears in today’s traffic. It will be gone in a year. Forget about selling the manual. No one will want it.
