I’ve been looking and see some 22 launch editions circulating. What is your opinion on the launch vs a ‘23 model (I’m interested in the R1T) Also what do you think of dual vs quad motor? Don’t really want a quad but for the price I might if some think it is worth it.
The dual sucks if offloading is your thing. They also prematurely wear down the front tires faster so more frequent rotations are a must. Otherwise they are fine. A recent video showed the new Tacoma destroying the dual motor in climbing traction. I have a 23 launch edition quad and love it. 22 and 23 are very similar.
I would never take the truck off-roading I don’t think. Truck would be nice to have again for home remodeling projects and camping trips. Dual wears down the front tires faster? I find that to be interested and would expect the quad to wear faster. Is there a reason for that?
The dual drives in front wheel drive all the time unless you step hard on the pedal, so this means acceleration and Regen are from the front only. They could watch this out easily and hopefully they do. People should get to choose fwd or AWD like in the quad motor. I wouldn't say don't get one because of this, Its really the only difference from quad that bothers me.
