So let me get this straight. Toyota moves production of the Tacoma to Mexico to "improve efficiency and lower costs" and the price of the truck GOES WAY UP??? That makes sense....

Tacoma has been made in Mexico for a long time

Lower cost for the corporation duhhh

@TevinAlves You figured that out pretty quick, Mr. Wizard. My question was, if you even read it, if production costs are now lower in Mexico, WHY DID THE PRICE OF THE TRUCK INCREASE BY 15 THOUSAND BUCKS? Duhh!!

Last year a new SR5 4WD double cab with the 6’ bed was $39K. This year for the identical truck is &47K. Last year I bought a new 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the premium and technology pkgs. The MSRP was $51,848, (I paid $48K). For a Tacoma identical to mine in 24 is over $67K.

All manufacturers went nuts with pricing, far outpacing inflation but Toyota went full insanity. 8 short years ago I bought a sr5 Tundra dbl cab trd off road with the 5.7 for 38k. Today that gets you a made in Mexico manual transmission taco with a four banger? Lmao silly!! And when will Toyota move away from these absurd end caps on their rear bumpers? Completely useless to you know, step up on when the tailgate is open.

My friend that was nearly a decade ago have you heard of a thing called inflation figure of the number you gave at what has been the average the last eight years at 4.6% inflation overall and inflation in the auto sector has been a bit higher than this. Thank me later

@pryme2013 2 ай бұрын

@@jonathanratliff4780 I touched on that but if you think Toyota pricing is based on anything rooted in reality you are innumerate. And the fact they moved production from the United States to Mexico which absolutely is saving them money, and not passing it on to the customer is even more laughable. Anyone paying those prices for that truck is a fool.

@@pryme2013 The new demographic that will buy the Tacoma especially the upper trims, for them money is just a commodity. I have a client who just purchased a new 2024 Tacoma for his groundskeeper. The affluent will purchase these as a second or third vehicle or a first vehicle for “young Tommy” or like the one I just mentioned above. There are all walks of demographics in this country. Toyota has been doing this for 75 years their marketing division hasn’t all of a sudden lost their mind they know what they’re doing I’m sorry you can’t afford one. Relax and have a good day

I got a gray SR ordered for 37k; bit expensive but it’s for family. I prefer personally the frontier for simplicity purposes. The Tacoma SR is similar to Nissan Sv and the Nissan SV is basically MSRP at 35k which is the reason I went with Tacoma.

I've been trying to find out if I can make it work with an SR for my family. In my area, I can only test drive a TRD Sport, which does not have leaf springs, and this is the first time ever I am buying a truck. It is just me, my wife, and our 8 month old baby, but I would love to know about ride quality in the SR, and if you would recommend it and if it is comfortable please??

In 1998 I bought my first house. It was a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath that set on 30 acres. We paid $55K for it. When we sold it 5 years later of course we made a profit on it. I will Never pay more for a vehicle than I paid for my first house. Vehicles drop in value, so you loose money on it every year, whereas real estate makes you money.

I have a 2022 Toyota Tacoma SR5 V6 made in Mexico, and I love it. I was able to see and get inside a new 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 and it was nice, but I believe it's price was close to 50K, which is way too much for me. I'll keep what I got, I really like my V6 engine Tacoma, and I'm not a small engine with turbo enthusiast. I hope the new Toyota Stout has a plain and simple powerful 4 cylinder engine it, not a 3 or 4 cylinder turbo engine, and if it has the terrible stop start feature at least put a disable button in it as well. The new Toyota Stout will sell well if it's price point is not too high because not many people can afford the new 2024 Tacoma's now. American Toyota Tacoma buyers are working class (99%ers.) I hope Toyota can bring the old Tacoma 3rd generation engines back.
