Let them PILE UP! 2024 Toyota Tacomas continue to go UNSOLD! 

That’s a fact. 👌 💯

True

Come on~ it is just less than 2%. Be in that 98% winner side. It should be easier than Squid Game.

@c7406-q8c At this point in time, you sound like a Toyota salesman , with lots of time on your hands. No customers, The word is out how bad the 2024s are.

When it comes to the Toyota 2024 trucks. If you are a *"**#Master_Mechanic**"* , you can afford to roll the dice 🎲🎲 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TgGWdA8QX-E.htmlsi=TJf2U7sa3B90WARU .

It is not that simple. The past vehicles have shelves set up for parts, not for assembly. 😳 😥

No way. Japanese will never do such thing. It is against Samurai spirit. They will rather die for it.

@@c7406-q8c It is not Japanese any more. It is American Engineer and Mexico worker both combine cause this Toyota generation die.

Gone forever. Frontier is the last "Frontier " for non-turbo V6. Titan has only V8 available in it, but consumers prefer big 3 crap and junk Toyota twin turbo, so they stupidly force Titan out of production. They shot themselves in the foot for brand loyalty.

@c7406-q8c So Samurai tradition and spirit is extended to building in Mexico at 2 bucks an hour, with 2 bucks an hour worth of Mexican quality assurance? Over corporation over tradition and quantity over quality, worst at a premium price! and dealers over marking price on their legendary vehicles on top of ridiculous MSRP for components to make it like a V8! WIth 20% of the reliability V6, Twin Turbo, hybrid battery, and the components and equipment to make it all function, once again like a V8, because they have said it wasn't for environmental reasons like popularly believed, but for power and torque!

The ones making 200k aren’t the ones buying these 60k+ vehicles unfortunately. They’re too financially responsible for that

@@chibbyylolThis righttttt here 👆🏻. One of my lifelong buddies makes 200k and he analyzes every purchase to death before making a single move , rightfully so, even if he could buy said product 10x over in cash.

The bottom line is that the trucks are overpriced and of poor quality.

The average American: Pretending they make $200k + per year in order to get a new Truck they can't afford.

@@chibbyylol Ha, you would be surprised how many of those people still live paycheck to paycheck

Agree

Yep 😂

If you have to get one of these, try to look and find the build date. And steer away from a Monday built vehicle.

😂

5k off is still 10k overpriced assuming it was issue free 😂

Woah there moneybags, more like 60%

Agreed. 20-25% less needs to be the “starting point” for negotiating imo.

Or 20k

Not a chance… cuts into their bottom line. Near sighted business model. =\

Planned obsolescence. Problem is Toyota's engineers (as usual) are more effective than their domestic equivalents and that obsolescence happens almost immediately lmao

That’s a fact!

true, or else Toyota made a hella-sloppy transmission if someone can make such a mistake.

Watch the video. He did do it. First off the truck went close to redline. 80km on third gear would only be around 3000 rpm. But the reason he was able to get into 1st gear was the auto rev match. Yes. When you rev match, 1st gear will open up. If you didnt rev match then 1st gear will stay lock and you can't get into it. Also the transmission wasnt built strong because it couldn't handle the instant torque.

Truck King is staying silent Windshield camera would confirm the gear. Can't rock the boat & contradict Toyota

But what if he did? The automatic features (which I don't want) should account for that. First off, sometimes I put my Tacoma 6 speed into 1st from 5th. If I have to slow down for a red light, I might slide it into 1st before I'm completely stopped. I generally don't, but this isn't something that could never happen, especially if I might want to make a right on red but there's no traffic. But say I screw up and go from 5th to 1st, and I start to let the clutch out. I'll notice right away, press down on the clutch right away, and correct the shift. It is very hard to go 5th to 1st by accident, but it is not impossible. Rev-matching should be smart enough to sense that and not cause damage. That's one reason I don't want Rev matching. As someone who has driven mostly manuals for close to 40 years, on everything from Porsche to Jeep, I drive by feel. Take this feel away and yes I have an advantage on the track especially in turns, but for casual daily driving I am not focused at that level, so I benefit from feeling what the car is doing.

Also, 90% of toyota techs will “diagnose” the cause of the damage to be operator error if they can get away with it….thus voiding the warranty because they don’t want to get nailed by warranty time. I hate that this happens but it’s a reality.

You’re not alone man! 💯

Same here. I’m just waiting to see what the 2025 refresh is going to look like

They dont care they know the nwo is taking over and have to beast system compliant

There is plenty of room for it. The front of the car is basically air.

There are plenty of reliable turbo engines, this topic is getting old, I agree that toyota is having lots of issues but attacking every day the turbo is ridiculous, issues so far but the waste gate wasn't related to turbo. PD I own a 3rd gen tacoma

@@DaddyGlez they are reliable for 100k or less, not built to last

I've been driving Tundras since 2002 and even if they put the 5.7 in the new model, I still wouldn't buy it. It's an ugly, truck styled car.

I think people are starting to catch on. I sort of want one. Baja Storm Pro 4X.

@@Papolucho702 Get it now. They are reasonable cost and available. In a few months they won't be.

Looked at a Nissan Frontier for the first time ever, Saturday.

They are very reliable so far. Still driving my 1987 Nissan. I checked out the new ones and do like them a lot.

Good! Tacos sounds gay

Oooo that is a huge taco market out there Las Vegas is considered the 9th island from what I hear. I have only seen two new tacos out here. The 3rd gen is still going for top dollar out here!

Huli-huli Tacos flipping over all over the roads in Hawai'i.

Just Bought a 24 4runner. It's soo nice

Guess you’ll run into a conundrum of sorts with the ‘25 4Runner lol. It’s the same powertrain and setup of the Tacoma but built in the Tahara plant in Japan

@@chibbyylol Indeed... :)

I love my 4R. Unfortunately the Japanese made trucks won’t be immune to this issue. The GX 550 is showing the same engine issues as the Tundra

@@davidsullivan1914 Oooof... well, if I upgrade, I'll definitely be waiting for a couple of years while they work out the kinks for sure.

They do that for the EPA rating. They know people will take it off, which is why it looks so cheaply made. GM does the same thing, or at least did a couple years ago. It's literally just there to get through the lab testing.

Imagine what the next lies will be

If you're in the market for a new 4 Runner, get a 2024.

Longo Toyota in so. California has hundreds of

Huge change in the culture in the past 5-10 years. Entire success of the company was built on the TQM system that was ingrained in the workforce. Took 50 years to build it and about 2 years to burn it to the ground.

That’s insane man… 🤯 Smh

Was it 8 speed or manual

@@LiquidSm0ke manual

Did they blame you for it?

Yes, Nissan builds a tough manual. The Z still has it. That's my only criticism of new Frontier. My current Nissan truck transmission is 37 years old. Never out of the frame.

lol right… I forgot. 😂

Changing 5th to 1st gear broke the transmission…. Is this wise explanation? Trucking said they changed to 3rd… Now everyone who watched it will think if that happens to them Toyota will blame you for the damage… who’s going to buy such car and brand?

@@c7406-q8c yeah he was trying a 5th to 3rd shift but Toyota claims he must have accidentally hit 1st instead of 3rd which cause the clutch to implode. Ridiculous.

And Truck King will still be invited to Toyota events.

Toyota is not the only automaker that has vehicles built in Mexico. Nissan has their compact Sentra built in Mexico also. I would not buy any vehicle built in Mexico.

@@josephkelleher8820 a cheap sedan being produced in a country such as Mexico to reduce cost of production isn't exactly an issue for me because it's a cheap sedan after all. We're talking about a heavy body on frame truck that costs over 40k for a base trim.

Haha love it. Well said man!

I've misshift from 5th to 1st in my 85 22re and nothing critical happened other than locking the rear wheels and causing it to fish tailed...

Toyota record everything. It must be in their server. My 22 Taco there is a warning with red sticker saying “Your vehicle wirelessly transmit location, driving and vehicle health data… for internal research and data analysis” also from my Toyota app it even shows the record how I drove it. Sharp turn, sudden acceleration or stop etc…

@@c7406-q8c Toyota can say whatever they want without showing u the data. Over the years since the accelerator drama I’ve stopped believing their nonsense

If he challenges their narrative they might stop inviting him to the parties. TFL sold their "long term" Tacoma after six months, so they'll never be able to take it back on the snow.

Their clock is ticking… =\

You're right, but... still so far they're still the most reliable so imagine how the market is😢

@@DaddyGlez they are not the most reliable with trucks... even their cars have been falling. They have a better reputation still, built over many years... but its all smoke and mirrors

Yes, a warranty is good but you'll still be sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. No one wants that.

A warranty Toyota won't honor.

A no hassle, no questions 200k warranty

Yeah they are gonna have to give these away 😂

@@Playingwithproxies lol

Not only that, but if he grabbed 1st it would have over-revved the engine, not just blown the clutch.

He clearly hit 1st. Hence the high revs and grind. Didn’t over rev engine because the clutch let go. Which probably saved the engine.

NEW TACOMAS ARE OFFROAD!You have to push them off the road when the transmission fails.

@@meme-bj1pe 🤣

I agree Toyota Corporate is at fault. Not the Mexican employees assembling them. Toyota moving production to Mexico to save over 80% in labor costs should have trickled into the cost of the vehicles. Instead they hiked prices which is a huge slap in the face.

@@UntamedMotors 80% is crazy lol

​@@UntamedMotorsI'd add that even having the right knowledge the wester culture isn't the discipline enough to care about details while assembling those trucks

I agree. Mr. Opportunity is knocking for Honda! 👌

Don’t think they have a body on frame platform at all (even in the global market) to build one. The passport, ridge line and pilot all share

Changing the land cruiser from a V8 to a turbo 4 is an insult to the vehicle. The point of the land cruiser was that it was a tank; I've never seen a used one for sale.

...more like $25K off might be worth it...but no guarantee there either...these new Tacos aren't built to last. They're built to be replaced every 3 years.

That wouldn't get them down to the gen 3 MSRPs.

It means their engine wasn't able to handle the backlash of high rpm. But the transmission was build tough enough to handle the power.

A TuRD marked up 15G? Hope there’s not a Huckleberry out there dumb enough to let that Stealership screw them on an inferior truck.

Must be the same one i saw a video on. All black, $81k.

He isn’t attacking Mexico, it’s just an example of how they moved to Mexico cutting labor costs to 1/5th and on top of the other issues, it comes down to the new Toyota mission statement seems to be money, not quality.

And a brand new labor force perhaps not trained properly, certainly without experience in building these rigs.

@@Aaron_Flemingthey’ve been building them for a lot of years there like a lot

I have a 2024 4R. Toyota may change their strategy and increase the price of the 2025 4Runner by $2,000, which is where it should be.

I’m happy for you sincerely, but unfortunately that’s just not enough miles to pull me in . I’m not being smart Ellic at all . I hope they pass 100k for you zero replacements! I’m at 109k on my 2020 5.7 Tundra and haven’t replaced a single thing , at all. Still running the OEM brake pads and rotors as left the the lot , even same windshield wipers . Only new tires at 66k . Constant towing . I’m actually typing this in our camper at a lake now just towed it here 😂 Good luck with your Rig brother

Keeping my 22 TRD OR with a 6 & a manual trans. Worth more now than when I purchased for $38,500. Great truck, no problems.

@@georgedreher2322 Nice. I bought a electric lime Tacoma back in '22. Manual.. I did trade it in last year on a 4Runner, which I love, but if I went back in time, I'd keep the Tacoma just because it was such a lucky set of circumstances for me. and it looked so badass.

And they replaced the spare tire with a full sized doughnut. Fine for the road, but try getting off a trail without tread on one wheel.

Haha now that’s saying something 😆

I don't think that was the driving factor. I think they wanted their audience to have plenty of time to forget about it by the next snowfall.
