Yes, want to participate in the truck camping scene now that my kids are out of HS and I don't have sports to attend every weekend.Just got a 2023 F350 Superduty Lariat. Much nicer than the 2016 F350 Lariat I bought new and traded in. But sounds like you may be in the market for a smaller truck.
Appreciate it, starting now and trying to be in one by this time next year. Nothing crazy, but yes, even a regular off road is going to hurt.I REALLY want a Tacoma……. But I had a Colorado budget so that’s what I got I am happy. Goodluck and awesome trucks if you got the $$$
I had a crew cab stipulation really narrowed my search and raised the priceAppreciate it, starting now and trying to be in one by this time next year. Nothing crazy, but yes, even a regular off road is going to hurt.
Understand that, I want all the tech I can afford with a manual... Going to almost have to order it I'm assuming.I had a crew cab stipulation really narrowed my search and raised the price
They are.I thought tacomas were made in San Antone?
Keep this in mind looking for owners/drivers input. The '24's are different enough to be a different driving experience.Since the 2024 Tacoma is an all-new platform (engine, chassis, etc.), I'd be inclined to look for a 2023 or wait until 2025...just to give them some time to work out any major bugs. I do like the look of the new 2024 Tacomas, though.
We recently bought a 2023 Lexus GX460 for much the same reasons. 2024 introduces a turbo 6 that may or may not be as solid as the 2023 and older V8.Keep this in mind looking for owners/drivers input. The '24's are different enough to be a different driving experience.
I'm going to go out on a small limb and state that they are probably fine, but I'm with hammerd13, I'd be inclined to look for the current generation vs the new.
But that's just me. What I liked about the Tacoma was the "old school" configuration. NA V-6, 6-speed automatic trans(though I prefer a manual), knobs for interior functions and not too many bells and whistles. Even had rear drum brakes!
I just don't see a turbo 4 cyl having the longevity of a NA six. But I have no data to support my hypothesis, er, opinion. The new engines produce more power when you factor in the hybrid part of it, but I'd rather have the six.
If I could buy one right now, it would be a current gen SR5, extended cab, desert sand or cement, V6, manual trans. I could run that until I couldn't drive anymore.
