In a similar segment, the next gen Outback will be revealed pretty soon and it is expected to be much less of a wagon (taller). Not sure how much, but there were spy shots to get an idea.
The word has recently been that deliveries have been delayed until early 2025. I think someone said February. So I very much doubt they have started building yet. My Subaru's I've bought started around 2 months before delivery, so it makes sense that they will start sometime around Nov or Dec...
I would expect it to be pretty close to the outgoing 4Runner generation. The dimensions are pretty similar. I would not be too concerned. Comparing it to a Tacoma is not really valid for the second row. You say "carbon copy of the Tacoma", but that is only in certain areas and the back seat is...
You pretty much summed it up there. I don't believe there is anything additional anyone has to add. I think we can say for sure only the limited and platinum will have full-time 4wd. However, the other information we have is conflicting. Yes the prototype was a non-hybrid with full-time 4wd, but...
Yeah, that does not shock me at all. Not only are they scrambling for fixing issues, I think they are also scrambling for responding to complaints and market pressures on the Tacoma and otherwise. It would not surprise me if the 2025 Tacoma also got seriously delayed as they work to adjust and...
Good on you on understanding yourself. Everyone is illogical in one way or another. I know I've got my own annoyances that I should be able to get over and can't. It is better to understand it and manage it than try to deny or argue it.
As was said, if it follows the Tacoma the Off-Road should...
Just curious, why would having the fake hood scoop be a deal breaker? I can understand not liking it and thinking it is tacky, but straight up calling it a deal breaker that determines your purchasing decision seems extreme.
This is definitely a different market though it has cooled significantly since since the COVID hit. I'm not sure if you want to do this immediately after the start hitting the lots. Realistically, I think we are looking at multiple months of the vehicles being purchased before they even arrive...
Maybe? I'm not really sure as I don't think anyone really has a vehicle like this. It is a compact SUV, but it is still body on frame. Maybe comparable to cheaper/two door wranglers?
Where is this information coming from? I've seen nothing actually said about the 2025 Tacoma. I would love to hear something as there are multiple features I'm hoping for (memory seats).
I think we must be getting close to the drive around event pretty soon. I also think we can't be that far away from youtubers getting their hands on hybrid Tacoma loners.
To help with any concerns, the new Tacoma engine has already been used in several different Toyota vehicles.

I thought the design team was based in Texas. Regardless, I agree. Toyota should be putting this system on WAY more trims and vehicles. Only having it on the Limited hybrid is just stupid. I honestly feel like it should be on EVERY 4WD Tacoma. The cost difference is probably not that bad. I...
I've got a Forester wilderness that came with the OEM all-weather floormats. They are fine, but we got the Tuxmats for my wife's Ascent. There is no comparison. I didn't buy them for the Forester since it came with the OEM ones, but I've still considered it.
Many people mistake these for fabric. They are not. They are very much all-weather waterproof floor mats and from my experience they are the best out there. They don't stain. They are easy to clean, and their coverage is positively unmatched. I can understand if you don't like the look, but...
Even if you are willing to pay top dollar for the first arrivals, you are probably looking at Nov at best to have the vehicle in your possession. More likely Dec. Even then the best deal you are going to get is probably straight MSRP. Also, it will depend on the trim you want. Higher trims and...
I agree. 3-5K more than the equivalent Tacoma trims seems like a good guess to me. However, it is possible that existing market trends could have them re-thinking things some. It wouldn't surprise me if internally Toyota will (and/or already have) reduce their planned MSRP numbers. Once they are...
Here is what the manual says about 4 High:
Personally I would want to be pretty confident there would not be random places where I suddenly had all wheels have firm traction. So I wouldn't use it unless snow was for sure on the entire road. All it takes is one strong torque of your system the...
No idea. We won't know until we see a prototype or get the official word.
I am curious though. There Platinum and TRD pro are pretty extreme in their differences. If you are shopping the two I would guess you don't spend a lot of time off-road. If that is the case you will probably be happier...
