Tacoma.
JoeAUDIENCE
Um, my, I have, my newest car is a 2007 Tacoma TRD.
Jerry ReynoldsHOST
Yep.
JoeAUDIENCE
Uh, it's got 250,000 miles on it, and it's been pretty much trouble-free.
Sean HolmanHOST
And Hyundai understands that its Palisade isn't a Wrangler.
Sean HolmanHOST
But listen, what's out there? Tremor, Trailsport, Wilderness, TRD.
Sean HolmanHOST
Everybody has this off-roader adventure sub-brand.
Sean HolmanHOST
And so Hyundai, well, they want a piece of that too.
14 MINS LATER
Sean HolmanHOST
So this recall makes me a little bit sad.
Sean HolmanHOST
This one is for Toyota and the Tacoma, but it's not the Toyota Tacoma like a drivetrain hybrid issue or anything that's going on like the full-size Tundra.
Sean HolmanHOST
But this is a off-road shock recall on the TRDs, and those shocks are made by our good friends at Bilstein.
Sean HolmanHOST
So Toyota's recalling 48,280 24 and 25 Tacoma TRD off-road trucks because the remote reservoir on the Bilstein shocks can fall off.

And Hyundai understands that its Palisade isn't a Wrangler.

Tommy MikulaHOST
First off, if you're buying an F-150, a Tacoma, a Camry, or a 4Runner, you can get crazy deals no matter what trim you are.
Tommy MikulaHOST
Unless it's a specialty car, TRD Pro 4Runner, for example.
Tommy MikulaHOST
We're looking at an F-150 Raptor R.
Tommy MikulaHOST
Other than those, if you exclude those, if you want a TRD off-road or just an SR5, or if you want an F-150 Lariat, the discounts are about the same.
Tommy MikulaHOST
So just understand big discounts either way does not matter what you're looking for.
Tommy MikulaHOST
There are some cars that are tight on the discounts.
10 MINS LATER
Tommy MikulaHOST
So understand that we have to manage that expectation.
Tommy MikulaHOST
Does that mean we can't get a good deal? No, but understand that sometimes the discount is a broad range, which is why we talked about some of these cars.
JohnHOST
It, it is kind of funny when I'm doing Toyota-
Carey LandoGUEST
But it's not a TRD Pro
JohnHOST
...
JohnHOST
when I'm doing Toyota trucks or SUVs-

Milton SalgueroGUEST
Tacoma got a one-inch lift just as a generation.
Ryan DouthitGUEST
Yeah.
Milton SalgueroGUEST
And then you put in TRD Pro, which gets another inch of lift.
Ryan DouthitGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Dave StallHOST
All right.
Dave StallHOST
Hey, I had a 2026 Toyota 4Runner TRD.
Dave StallHOST
Take a listen.
Dave StallHOST
Okey-doke.
Dave StallHOST
Hey, we got a 2026, [clears throat] excuse me, Toyota 4Runner 4x4 TRD i-FORCE.
Dave StallHOST
Uh, you know, Toyota has been around with the 4Runner since the '80s, and I was a service manager during that time.
Dave StallHOST
And when it showed up, boy, everybody, man, you couldn't keep 'em on the lot.
Dave StallHOST
It's Bluetooth.
Matt SmithPANELIST
Do you
ElliotHOST
think that is more or less comfortable than the current TRD Pro Tacoma with those
Dave UnderkofflerHOST
seats? By the way, can we just do a quick segue? Did we see, did you guys see that for 2027, the Toyota Tundra has been updated to TRD Pro and they put those seats into the Toyota Tundra? And at first I was thinking, well, that's so stupid.
Dave UnderkofflerHOST
They're so useless in the Tacoma.
Dave UnderkofflerHOST
I'm actually like, well, actually, The Tundra's huge.
Everett JayHOST
The funny thing is, the Japanese never really got into the performance utility marketplace.
Everett JayHOST
You can fight with me and say there's TRD versions.
Everett JayHOST
There's Nismo versions, but Nismo today is not what Nismo was 20 years ago.
Everett JayHOST
20 years ago, a Nismo label meant high performance and fully set up for track purposes.
10 MINS LATER
Everett JayHOST
with the entry-level business.
Everett JayHOST
But still, until car companies can figure out how they can manufacture these economy entry-level vehicles once again for this marketplace, everybody else is just going to be stuck with performance-orientated crossover utility vehicles like Modelista, Nismo, and even Mugen versions of Japanese products.
Everett JayHOST
Because really, you don't get GR or TRD performance products for street-going vehicles from those brands.
Everett JayHOST
You can find a few, but not as many as you would like.
Scott WebbHOST
Yeah, I mean, they...
Scott WebbHOST
I think there's been plenty of, of buzz that they're not getting the same kind of data from TRD that, that other organizations are getting, primarily Gibbs and 2311.
Scott WebbHOST
So I, there's, I've, I mean, I've heard, there's been rumors.
Scott WebbHOST
This may be a great question for-
Shane van GisbergenGUEST
you notice with keelan i mean it's amazing what he's doing and he's in the car once or twice a week and getting to race against or in all different disciplines i guess but you know when you speak to him and have a conversation he's still a 13 year old kid you know you realize that when you speak to him but he's the level he's driving at is pretty impressive dude he's badass yeah it's he's going to be coming up through the ranks quick yeah yeah it's um it's amazing that how young and how good everyone is here because of the accessibility of all the series i think what you can do with the motorplex out there they can go go-karting every day or
Corey LaJoieHOST
And now he's hooked up with TRD.
Corey LaJoieHOST
He can go to the simulator.
Corey LaJoieHOST
