We’ve all been there. You’re in your car, blasting from the stereo, when the worst possible thing happens: You arrive at your destination. What are you supposed to do now, stop the song partway through? Or do you keep it playing, staring through your windows at the people awaiting your arrival? Truly, Sophie’s choice. But it’s a knot managed to slash, and now Toyota is following its steps.

Rivian’s solution was simple: A portable speaker, held in the center console of an R1T or R1S, that paired to your phone as a part of the truck’s stereo system. When you park, you can take the speaker with you and let your tunes continue unabated. Now, Toyota’s latest tease for the 2024 Tacoma appears to include the same tech.

Toyota posted two teaser photos of the upcoming Tacoma today, both centered around a JBL Bluetooth speaker. One features a person removing the speaker from the dashboard of the new truck, pulling it from a fitted recess behind the center screen. The second shows the speaker seated on the rear of the car—letting the music continue outside.

As for details, there are none. We can presume that, like the Rivian speaker, Toyota’s JBL unit charges off the Tacoma’s electrical system and pairs to a phone alongside the standard stereo system—but we don’t know for sure. For more information, it seems we’ll have to wait until the truck’s full reveal.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
