When it was first shown off this summer, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma made a big splash. The team at Invoice Pricing was thrilled to find that the car’s manual transmission was still available. Now that the online configurator for the 2024 Tacoma is ready, we thought it would be fun to make the mid-size Toyota cars of our desires. As of now, the top-of-the-line TRD Pro can’t be chosen because the iForce Max hybrid powertrain isn’t offered in that configuration. Even though we all like stick changes, three of us chose to row our gears, which we were happy with. (Unfortunately, the photos in the setup tool don’t show the manual shifter.) It costs $38,395 for Jack Fitzgerald’s 2024 Tacoma SR The goal of this truck was to find the least expensive manual Tacoma that could be found. One thing that has always made Tacoma so great is how easy it is to get into. It turned out that my truck cost more than I thought it would, and I don’t think the price was right for it compared to some of the better trim levels. The XtraCab model has to be upgraded to the four-door Double Cab version in order to use the manual gear. This makes the base price of the SR $33,700, even though it shows a base MSRP of $31,500. The starting price for a stick-shift car with a six-speed manual transmission is $36,900. Four-wheel drive is the only available option for this car. The shipping and handling fee of $1495 brings the total cost of building it to $38,395. Aside from the gearbox and drivetrain, I didn’t make any other choices. I picked the free Underground gray paint and didn’t look in any of the boxes for extras or packages. I don’t need blind spot monitoring or seats that heat up. It would be nice to have more comfort, but we are on a tight budget and need to save for future changes. Caleb Miller bought his 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport for $44,335 A manual gearbox was the most important thing to me in my 2024 Tacoma. Even though the DIY gearbox is still in the base SR model, I chose the TRD Sport. It costs $39,400 and adds a coil-spring back suspension. The better ride comfort of the SR’s coil springs seemed worth the extra cost, especially since I planned to drive the car on smooth roads most of the time. You can power the TRD Sport with a 400W/120V AC adapter, and it comes with blind-spot tracking, which is very helpful when changing lanes on the highway. The larger 265/65R18 tires with better grip would be useful in the winter, and the TRD Sport’s eye-catching 18-inch machined metal wheels were another great feature. Since I rarely move with anything bigger than a five-foot bed, I kept it. Because the stick shift made the price go up to $41,800, I only gave you a few choices so that I wouldn’t go over $50,000. Even though it’s free, the Tacoma still stands out in the parking lot thanks to its bright Blue Crush Metallic paint. For a slightly retro look, I paired it with the white inside highlights. It gets cold in Michigan from November to March, so I bought heated seats for $585 and put a $455 BedStep in the back to make loading and unloading freight easy. After taking out $1495 for processing and destination, my final total was a reasonable $44,335. For $49,824, Carter Fry has a 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport for sale A medium-sized pickup truck with a stick shift will cost me less than $50,000. I’ll pay $49,000 for one, though! Actually, I will spend at most $50,000 on this. The best thing about having a Tacoma is that it can be customized in many ways. The truck I drive is a third-generation TRD Sport with a manual transmission. To avoid spending too much money at Toyota, I found and installed the part myself because I like messing around with my truck. That’s why I paid an extra $5475.00 for the TRD Sport Upgrade Package with a sunroof. The only thing I don’t like about my Taco is that the roof is closed in. Other than that, I like that it has a power back window and an AC power inverter in the bed. Also, the pre-wired AUX switches are a huge plus for me because I plan to make changes to my ’24 Tacoma. I don’t need Toyota’s new ridiculously big 14.0-inch touchscreen or heated seats, which are only important with leather seats. Because I’ve always wanted a red car, I’ll take $425 for Supersonic Red paint. The $439 paint protection film was the only extra thing I picked out. With the location fee added in, the total cost comes to $49,824. With this request, I was upset that I couldn’t get the electric tailgate, but at least I have the hood scoop. Let’s get through that air barrier now! It takes USD 54,425 to buy Eric Stafford’s 2024 Tacoma TRD Off-Road The Toyota Tacoma 2017 looks great. It’s been a while since the popular mid-size truck got a full redesign. The fourth version brings it into the modern era with a more powerful turbocharged engine and an option for a coil-spring rear suspension. The TRD Off-Road model can only have four-wheel drive and a Double Cab with four doors. It comes with the latter as standard. The base price for the car with a five-foot cargo bed and a six-speed manual gearbox is USD 43,295, which includes the delivery fee. It costs an extra $1100 to get an eight-speed automatic engine and a longer six-foot bed. I would not get the automatic transmission because it increases the 2.4-liter turbo four’s power from 270 horsepower to 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Instead, I would stick with the regular box size. There are some hardware differences between the TRD Off-Road and regular Tacomas. It has Bilstein external-reservoir shocks and 33-inch BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A tires. I would add the optional $1230 detachable front anti-roll bar to make it easier to get over barriers and give the front wheels more mobility. I believe that the Bronze Oxide paint looks great and is a fair price. Toyota has a number of packages with better and better features, but I would pay the extra $8800 for the Premium choice because I need and want the front seats to be heated and cooled. The Premium package comes with a camera-fed rearview mirror, dual-zone climate control, a helpful 360-degree camera system, and leather-trimmed power-adjustable front seats. It also has a 14.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, portable Bluetooth speaker, JBL stereo, and other features found in less expensive packages. With all of my stickers, my Tacoma TRD Off-Road is worth $54,425! It seems wild to pay so much for a well-equipped mid-size pickup with a small back seat, but the 2017 Taco is worth it based on its current market value and amount of equipment.
