Thank you. The color combo is just the right amount of flashy while still being understated. The red interior is my absolute favorite. 😊
 
Heck yeah! I love mine as well. I have an ORP Hybrid. That TRD Pro is sick though. Hybrid power really helps make the driving enjoyable on these.
 
100%! They definitely won't win any drag races, I feel these are happiest in 2nd,3rd, and 4th gear which is where most of the practical and fun power comes from. I drove a non hybrid model and I liked how nimble it felt but I could not get over the nearly 1 second of turbo lag off the line. The hybrids definitely feel a tad chonkier 😅. Overall tho, I think the hybrids are a bit more practical but they do come at a hefty price tag. The other Taco I tested was a '25 TRD Sport. I know many folks balk at the Pro and Trailhunter packages but I think the middle ground OR and Sports are capable af just with a little less tech (which I'm a sucker for.....and red interiors😂). Im sure that OR will give you years of fun!

Yeah the non-hybrids are not bad, but added hybrid power is fun and more practical for sure. But right there with you on buying the lower trims. I wanted the hybrid and the 9.5" axle (I don't think they come on lower trims, at least some of them) and the OR toys like factory locker, etc. I think an OR hybrid is the best answer. You pay a little bit more, but relatively little for how much you get (compared to last gen superchargers, etc.) and you can (like myself) build a better than Pro truck and swap out every last part for something super beefy haha.
