Bought my dream truck and it arrived on my birthday, couldn’t be happier… anyone else had their dream truck arrive like this?

I purchased my dream truck, and it arrived on my birthday, couldn’t be happier! Tacomas have always been my favorite vehicles, and since getting my first one, a 2009 TRD Sport, I’ve always thought it would be amazing if Toyota added a Prius-like system to the Tacoma. The best of both worlds! I’m loving the new one so far, and I’m sure it’ll take me to many incredible places. Attached are pictures of my 4th Gen TRD Pro, 3rd Gen TRD Sport Premium, and 2nd Gen TRD Sport.



Congrats! All three Taco’s look great! Enjoy my friend! Got a 24 TRD ORP and I’m loving it!

Thanks! What’s your favourite feature on your new truck? Mine’s the rear window defrost, a feature I’ve always wondered why trucks never had.

@Zen
I completely agree about the rear window defroster. I would say the updated electronics and the fact that my drive is smooth now…no more gear hunting!!

No gear hunting is amazing, my 2nd gen was so bad for it, I turned down getting a trd pro 3rd gen because it searched a ton.

The Tacoma’s hybrid system isn’t really the same as the Prius. Nice truck though.

Not really no, but it’s close enough for me right now.

Obviously lol

This! I had a 3rd Gen previously and wondered the exact same thing! I would say all the electronics upgrades and the fact that you can drive it without constant gear hunting…

Got my 2015 TRD Sport on my 65th. Some birthdays are more memorable.

Just about to rollover 60k miles

Sick shot with the logs!

Best looking 4th gen I’ve seen​:fire::fire::fire:

Good looking truck

How do you like the 4th vs 3rd gen? Looking into getting a small work truck soon and not sure which one to get

I didn’t have the 3rd gen and 4th gen back to back, I had a 2022 Subaru Outback in between so I don’t remember ALL of the little nitpicks, but the road manners are really nice, my 3rd gen was a 6MT so very different, I’d definitely recommend test driving both if you get the chance, I think the comfort in the 4th gen will win you over, from the seat position to the suspension.

@Zen
I am contemplating switching from Outback to Tacoma - what are the main things to consider in your opinion?

I switched to an Outback because I was tired of driving my 6MT 3rd gen in construction and super rush hour when my city was doing crazy things, the Outback was the best vehicle for tall people, me being 6’4” I have a really hard time getting comfortable in anything, I’m not having as hard of a time in this 4th gen as I did in the last two Tacomas, I really liked my Outback, but to me it was too boring and safe which is the opposite of what most people will say. I guess it’s really a matter of preference, there are some times I really need a truck to transport stuff so it just comes down to what you plan to do with it, the Outback could have easily handled the roads I take my trucks on but I like having a truck and switching from 2wd to 4x4 to have fun.

This is cool. I’ve had all the gens, wish I had pictures of them all as well.
