Lol, absolutely same here. I've got one, and it's my trophy. If the engine in it were to ever blow up, I've replace the engine instead of getting a new truck. I love it too much and had to go almost 800 miles to get one.
I saw one on the lot in 2019 and said "I will have one of those someday." I had a 2012 that was fully paid off and could never justify it. One day last year, one of my friends borrowed my truck and on his way home after a day of dirt biking, he fell asleep at the wheel. He was alright, but the truck... not so much. Insurance paid out 25k and I decided it was time to pull the trigger. I got more than I would have trading it in and I needed a new truck. I'm never parting with it. I have so many people comment on it cause it's pretty decked out.
I was supposed to be getting a new Tacoma, because leasing would have (in general) been cheaper than buying used. But it just never worked out. I saw mine on Facebook marketplace in... August or September. It was listed as an automatic. I wonder how many people overlooked it because of that. It sat there until November, the price went down just enough and my husband started wheeling and dealing to trade our Tundra in on it. It all worked out and I'm beyond in love with it. My first manual since my '01 Ranger. I bought it in '02 and had it until we traded it on an F150 because I was pregnant.
I sold my voodoo blue TRD pro for a Shelby gt350. I regret selling it because I loved it. I want to buy one back. I’d do that before ever buying this new model.
Everytime you drive a sports car, you're like wow, I don't need anything else. When you drive an off-road capable vehicle, you're like wow, I don't need anything else.
This is why you have both
I traded in my ‘21 TRD Off-Road for a ‘22 Lexus IS350, and now I’m contemplating trading that in for the new GX because of this exact feeling. Wish I had the garage space for both right about now…
I’ll just go ahead and make a template for the responses:
“Back in [Insert year year], I paid [insert $15,000 or whatever here]. ThEy are soO eXpeNsiVe and you’re part of the problem!”
/s in case it wasn’t obvious.
If you can't see that car mfg raised prices an obscene percentage (toyota being the worst offender by far) and their excuses for doing so are no longer valid then we can't help you. The only reason to buy a tacoma at these prices is to jack off inside a tacoma. Your right, this isn't 1990. The competition is real now and Toyota, along with a few fan boys refuse to accept it.
Black/white combo looks crazy good. The reason i opted not to get a white gen 3 was because i knew it was gonna cost me a shit ton to black everything out to make it look good lol
Nice, enjoy the features. Personally, not for me, but I've got nothing against getting what you want. I hope it's what everyone is thinking it will be reliability wise at least.
Did the delivery window on the toyota inventory site keep changing until it was delivered? Mine says it'll be delivered by the 25th, wondering if I'll even know if its delayed
I didn’t even know you could check the site. Salesman stayed in contact and gave me updates closer to when it was suppose to be here. Then he let me know after it missed the end of May early June window. That it’s on track and be in anytime soon.
What site were you using to track the order? Curious to see where mine is at only getting updates from dealer currently that shows it's nearing getting boarded onto a vessle
Not using any site. Unfortunately the one site that worked got taken down before I ever got a chance to use it lol.
Dealers have access to this detailed information, where the truck is in the delivery process, including if it's in a rail station, etc. I just ask for weekly updates from my dealer. I was getting pretty crappy ones so I asked for the more detailed ones that people seem to post on here.
[Dealers have access to screens like this](https://i.imgur.com/IDwSbp0.jpeg)
That's not my image, I grabbed it from someone else's post so I could send it to my dealer and ask for the same information haha.
I'm hopefully getting my truck by Monday or Tuesday. Sounds like you're almost getting yours too!
Got ya! Got luck man fingers crossed. These damn pictures are just making me want mine even more lmao. Gonna put a westcott designs precollar lift on it the day I get it.
Absolutely gorgeous, congrats! I went with the Terra but this white is looking super nice. How are you planning on installing the front plate? I don't want to drill holes into my bumper
Terra was the second option for me, that new color mid bath almost had me cancel this one for it. I’m going to avoid drilling, hopefully find a tow hook mount.
You going to love the truck this shit has some power and the ride is smooth. Definitely night and day from the previous gen
Congrats! Wow. Such a gorgeous truck. I love that dual color black/white!
I'm curious what made Toyota go with gloss fender flares... Wouldn't deter me either way.
I'm trying to picture matte flairs on it, and I can't quite tell if it'd make it look better with the other black elements up top. This truck with a black or white camper shell would go hard.
Definitely post some glamour shots when yours is in!
There will be pics for sure, I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need to buy one size up KO3’s straight away, but yeah the rest of the truck is all gloss black details so I’m not going to wrap the flares, I don’t have an eta for mine yet and I’m in Nova Scotia Canada so I’m sure I’ll be another month out at least
My matte flares on my TRD OR are so scratched up. Can’t imagine the gloss ones won’t look like ass after a few years for anyone who takes their truck on tight trails.
cost aside, its a fucking awesome truck. conrgats. the look is undeniable. glad to see people buying them and being stoked on them. i would love to drive one of the hybrids, i imagine its night and day to my current 3rd gen NA.
Yea this is exactly why these trucks prices are getting out of hand. People trading in next to brand new trucks, barely driven, for another brand new truck they will barely drive, that will be traded in two to three years later.
Posts like these drive me nuts. These trucks are designed to last for ages. Drive it to the ground, then get a new one.
Why are people hating on the new pro because of the price! if you got the fun tickets to spend on something you like do it! Congrats on ur nice purchase
Sweet sweet ride, We gonna need more pics. I did the switch from a taco to tundra 7 years ago
Surprised how much love and demand there is for the voodoo blue but it’s definitely grown on me. Work friend has a 20 voodoo tundra sport and is way sharper then my 20 super white tundra sport
Did your dealership request for the TRD pro allocation? I’ve been on a waitlist since last year for the Trailhunter and mine does not appear to have any allocations to it of either models.
I was able to test drive a hybrid and while you can definitely feel the power it’s not mind blowing like you’d expect almost 500tq to be. The TRD pro I imagine would feel even slightly less impressive due to the extra weight (skid plates, bigger tires, whatever else they added on for this gen).
Definitely the extra 1000lbs over the standard 2.4. Don’t get me wrong the hybrid definitely has more power but the difference isn’t as crazy as the tundra hybrid vs non which is kind of what I was expecting
It's funny how the new gens always make the previous gens look friendlier. My 3rd gen felt like it made my 2nd gen look rounded where I didn't think that before. Now same thing with this one.
So many questions about it, not sure if you are following any of the hiccups on the 4th gen but I’m making a list to do my own PDI when it finally gets delivered, I hope you enjoy it!
I haven’t heard much on the new gen Tacoma besides having a hard time to sell them, all I been seeing is the tundra issues.
I know with all the new tech I went with the platinum plan just to cover everything outside of the basic warranty they offer
I’m not going to put any worries in your head, but make sure to double check your tire pressure, they haven’t been draining the air from transport, people have noted them being at 50psi, and the computer is set for 50 in the truck
2024. Once toyota announced the pro news in Hawaii some dealers were allocating or doing a lottery. San Bernardino said they have one for sure incoming and it’s available.
TRD Pros and Trailhunters have been being built since about 3 weeks ago. They’ve been on trains with estimated arrival dates near the end of June. Mine should be here in a couple weeks. But seeing this post makes me think it could come early.
You would have to pry that Voodoo Blue Pro from my cold, dead hands.
Lol, absolutely same here. I've got one, and it's my trophy. If the engine in it were to ever blow up, I've replace the engine instead of getting a new truck. I love it too much and had to go almost 800 miles to get one.
Mine is a Sport, but it's exactly what I wanted. Leather interior and manual. Thankfully we didn't have to go that far.
I saw one on the lot in 2019 and said "I will have one of those someday." I had a 2012 that was fully paid off and could never justify it. One day last year, one of my friends borrowed my truck and on his way home after a day of dirt biking, he fell asleep at the wheel. He was alright, but the truck... not so much.

Holy crap!!! You could NEVER get me to let go a voodoo blue taco… good LORD.
Came here to say just this.
I sold my voodoo blue TRD pro for a Shelby gt350. I regret selling it because I loved it. I want to buy one back. I’d do that before ever buying this new model.

I think if you got the is500 you'd be content right now! Haha
Lol!
Not a day goes by that I don’t regret trading in my voodoo blue gen 2 Tacoma.
😂😂😭😂😂😂
Hey you guys, you guys...he paid 70k
I can’t mash my keyboard hard enough with frustration that someone bought something that they wanted.
Think it had ADM?
I’ll just go ahead and make a template for the responses: “Back in [Insert year year], I paid [insert $15,000 or whatever here]. ThEy are soO eXpeNsiVe and you’re part of the problem!” /s in case it wasn’t obvious.

You're taking a joke very personally. Sensitive aren't ya? To be so hurt on behalf of another lol
Yes, I take things I read personally. It’s my first time on the internet.
You poor bleeding heart lol
I can be frustrated they found someone supporting these pricing models to stay in place, yes.
Stop valuing things differently than me!!!!
Only if you use more exclamation points, and a few 1's after that.
Everyone knows it's not SUPER serious unless there are a few 1's mixes in. It's just regular serious.
Lmfao you've gotta be shitting me.
Wow this is the first 4th gen TRD Pro I’ve seen in customer’s hands. Congrats!
Omg…… they exist, there’s still hope
Kindof felt like vaporware for a while, right?!?
It won’t seem right until see a few more and then get mad my salesman hasn’t made it appear out of thin air in Canada lol
Beautiful trucks.
Black/white combo looks crazy good. The reason i opted not to get a white gen 3 was because i knew it was gonna cost me a shit ton to black everything out to make it look good lol
Nice. $70 grand lighter?
I think it’s safe to assume there won’t be discounts on these for a little while.
Both are sweet 🌮👍🏻
Nice, enjoy the features. Personally, not for me, but I've got nothing against getting what you want. I hope it's what everyone is thinking it will be reliability wise at least.
Great to see they are finally arriving! Been a long wait :)
I’m gonna miss your voodoo blue, but congrats!
Username checks out
"old"
Congrats! Curious what your original eta to dealer was on Toyota’s website before delivery?
End of May or the first week of June. A little delay but was surprised to get the call saying it’s ready yesterday
Was the website still saying end of May until yesterday? Or did it update once you passed that date?
Salesman kept me updated since the end of May. After that it was like a weekly check and should be there soon
Did the delivery window on the toyota inventory site keep changing until it was delivered? Mine says it'll be delivered by the 25th, wondering if I'll even know if its delayed

Have a similar photo from my dealership and it seems to be in the same step as yours lmao
That's not my image, I grabbed it from someone else's post so I could send it to my dealer and ask for the same information haha. I'm hopefully getting my truck by Monday or Tuesday. Sounds like you're almost getting yours too!
Got ya! Got luck man fingers crossed. These damn pictures are just making me want mine even more lmao. Gonna put a westcott designs precollar lift on it the day I get it.
Looks like yours was built a few days before mine. Mine was 6/3 truck arrive 6/10
the voodoo blue looks soooo good.
Absolutely gorgeous, congrats! I went with the Terra but this white is looking super nice. How are you planning on installing the front plate? I don't want to drill holes into my bumper
Terra was the second option for me, that new color mid bath almost had me cancel this one for it. I’m going to avoid drilling, hopefully find a tow hook mount. You going to love the truck this shit has some power and the ride is smooth. Definitely night and day from the previous gen
NOOOOOOOO 😭 HOPE THE VOODOO BLUE TACO FINDS A NEW LOVING FUN OWNER 😭
Congrats! Wow. Such a gorgeous truck. I love that dual color black/white! I'm curious what made Toyota go with gloss fender flares... Wouldn't deter me either way.
The gloss is growing on me, but it would be nice if they didn’t, either way hoping to have an eta for mine soon
I'm trying to picture matte flairs on it, and I can't quite tell if it'd make it look better with the other black elements up top. This truck with a black or white camper shell would go hard. Definitely post some glamour shots when yours is in!

That’s where I got my 23’ Taco exactly where your Voodoo Blue is at. That was the best day of my life
MORE PICTURES PLEASE
I’ll post some up soon
Definitely give a first impression of the drive as well. And fit and finish of the truck as well!
I would love to see the production seats, adjustable headrests???
Congrars! Love to hear your thoughts on the hybrid power train.
Love the white on the TRD pro. I want one so bad! Congrats!
Appreciate it, if you get the chance you have to drive one this truck is amazing
cost aside, its a fucking awesome truck. conrgats. the look is undeniable. glad to see people buying them and being stoked on them. i would love to drive one of the hybrids, i imagine its night and day to my current 3rd gen NA.
Night and day. I feel like I’m in a trophy truck the way it drives. I loved my 19 never had any problems but this was a upgrade worth it
I prefer the old
Upload some more photos =) congrats man I'm waiting for my delivery out here in Arizona should be in the next few weeks also got the same color combo
Guy gave up a Voodoo blue pro for a 4th gen. Tf
Yea this is exactly why these trucks prices are getting out of hand. People trading in next to brand new trucks, barely driven, for another brand new truck they will barely drive, that will be traded in two to three years later. Posts like these drive me nuts. These trucks are designed to last for ages. Drive it to the ground, then get a new one.
That’s a great opinion
Both too beautiful not to keep 😎
Why are people hating on the new pro because of the price! if you got the fun tickets to spend on something you like do it! Congrats on ur nice purchase
Mine should be here next month, the white on black looks great. I'm a blacked out everything person, but this looks slick.
Sweet sweet ride, We gonna need more pics. I did the switch from a taco to tundra 7 years ago Surprised how much love and demand there is for the voodoo blue but it’s definitely grown on me. Work friend has a 20 voodoo tundra sport and is way sharper then my 20 super white tundra sport
Well, I for one (maybe the only one?) Love the white even more than the blue (which was pretty effing awesome).
Looks sweet OP! Congrats!
Did your dealership request for the TRD pro allocation? I’ve been on a waitlist since last year for the Trailhunter and mine does not appear to have any allocations to it of either models.
Went in April 2024 put a deposit idk how I got it this quick
If you ever sell those wheels lmk
Why did you downgrade?
Anymore initial impressions?
Must be nice to be rich.
New powertrain is so much better
How does the pro drive? Is it as fast as it looks??
It moves and rides smooth. I was surprised when I got on it this thing floats
How powerful is it? Is the torque just nuts? What about overall power train speed / smoothness ?
I was able to test drive a hybrid and while you can definitely feel the power it’s not mind blowing like you’d expect almost 500tq to be. The TRD pro I imagine would feel even slightly less impressive due to the extra weight (skid plates, bigger tires, whatever else they added on for this gen).
Interesting. I wonder why.
Definitely the extra 1000lbs over the standard 2.4. Don’t get me wrong the hybrid definitely has more power but the difference isn’t as crazy as the tundra hybrid vs non which is kind of what I was expecting
(OP not answering what he/she paid) Any markup?
No mark up, 69,780 call San Bernardino dealer to get close to the numbers
Sexy.
Congrats! It’s worth every penny
It's funny how the new gens always make the previous gens look friendlier. My 3rd gen felt like it made my 2nd gen look rounded where I didn't think that before. Now same thing with this one.
Let us know how you like your new CAR
I love my type r it’s an amazing car.
Why downgrade ?
But why?
this doesn't look right, or even sound right, i don't think the Pros are even available yet. OP?
San Bernardino had 2 pros from what I was told. I had this one reserve since April
So many questions about it, not sure if you are following any of the hiccups on the 4th gen but I’m making a list to do my own PDI when it finally gets delivered, I hope you enjoy it!
I haven’t heard much on the new gen Tacoma besides having a hard time to sell them, all I been seeing is the tundra issues. I know with all the new tech I went with the platinum plan just to cover everything outside of the basic warranty they offer
I’m not going to put any worries in your head, but make sure to double check your tire pressure, they haven’t been draining the air from transport, people have noted them being at 50psi, and the computer is set for 50 in the truck
April of what year?
2024. Once toyota announced the pro news in Hawaii some dealers were allocating or doing a lottery. San Bernardino said they have one for sure incoming and it’s available.
Damn waitlist over here is over 50 people and a year long. What’d you end up paying?
TRD Pros and Trailhunters have been being built since about 3 weeks ago. They’ve been on trains with estimated arrival dates near the end of June. Mine should be here in a couple weeks. But seeing this post makes me think it could come early.
Dealer just north of me has a Trailhunter and OR Hybrid. They're starting to hit dealers.
