    That it a better looking Tacoma. But will it have drivetrain changes? I certainly hope so…

    I’m not liking the grille too much. But overall, it looks good. I suppose, ford has done ok with basically the same cab in their f150 and sd, toyota should be able to also. Assuming toyota adds improved, new and better drivetrain. Hoping to be surprised on this for the tacoma.

    Too curvy in the front, same cab as the old one.

    I didnt like the new tundras in photos but i like them in person. Maybe this will be the same?

    doesn’t look much different, wonder what’s underneath?

    My wife wants to replace her Subaru. The tundra is a good option. I really don’t care what it looks like or how cool the bumper is.

    So I have a Tacoma 4WD question. In normal operating mode is the front axel disconnect out at the wheel. The F150 used vacuum actuated mechanics to unlock the front end. My dodge was always locket at the wheel so I put manual lock hubs on it.

    There is never and I mean never any reason to have the front wheels in a 4WD system connected to the axel in summer when it 100 degrees. The differential should never be turning if it’s not connected by the transfer case.

    How are the front differential and each drive shaft managed on the Tacoma.

    What is this company thinking? Look at the cab – like the ’14 Tundra, it’s exactly the same as the “outgoing” model. It’s a mild remodel of the nose and tail with fenders thrown in.

    Betcha the engines will be the same! Hmmm.

    GM moves on with totally new small Colorado truck, with a diesel as they read the market and delivered. Toyota seems hamstrung with bean counters. From this picture, this truck is old and frankly – just ugly.

    Uh oh.

  7. breathing borla says:

    I will have to see one in person but it looks like the bed and the front were slapped on the existing cab and all the pieces don’t seem to go together, the lines don’t flow from front to back.

    that is just from pictures though

  8. ricqik says:

    I thought I’d ask what you guys think. I’ve been looking at the pictures and what keeps standing out is the frame protruding a little lower than the previous model. This could very well be a thicker new frame. A indication that there is a increase in towing and payload.

  9. GoBig says:

    The rumor mill on the Internet is talking diesel engine in the future Tacoma. I wonder if there’s anything to that beyond a concept rig?

    I want to see the interior. The outside is fine. It always takes a little getting used to a new style.

  10. LJC says:

    Toyota’s truck line is in jeopardy, specifically, moving into fourth place. Since Nissan is going with a reputable and very well known diesel engine manufacturer for both the Frontier and Titan, current domestic three owners are more likey to make the switch than they would with either of Toyota’s trucks. Unless, Toyota bolsters it truck line with more Hino.

  11. LJC says:

    Overall nice touches and an increase in cabability.
    However, still no diesel as Sweers sites costs and future emission standards as the main reasons for not offering one. Hmm, seems as though Nissan (Cummins), GM, et. al., are not concerned with these prohibitting factors. If no diesel for the Tacoma, then it’s highly doubtful for the Tundra. My thought here is developing two, one for the Tundra and Tacoma would help to reduce the cost.

    Let’s see how this pans out…

  12. GoBig says:

    I’m surprised that there are no post reveal comments. I think the inside looks great.

    Today as I was changing an instrument gauge light in my 1985 Toyota pickup, I pondered the prospect of finally replacing my 30 year old truck.

    It still runs fine, and looks great. I then realized that is what turned me in to a Toyota fan in the first place. The darn things are bullet proof. At least that was the case in 1985 with the 22-RE engine.

    I was considering a Tundra, but the mileage numbers make it a tough sell for me. The Taco six cylinder does about as well as my little four banger.

    Since most of my hauling is fairly small, and my boat isn’t heavy, a new Tacoma might fit the bill. It’s also nice to have a truck that actually fits in the garage.

    I doubt Tacoma sales are in danger. I bet Colorado buyers are more likely to come from the Silverado crowd than the Tacoma faithful. I guess we’ll see about a year from now.

  13. Randy says:

    The bias in the automotive press has reached absurd and ridiculous stages. It has all become “silly”.

    Toyota has a continued real winner here with the new Taco. New steel structure frame and body, nothing is carried forward. Completely new power train with new technologies never used in a USA pickup before. A completely new suspension for the Taco.

    The new Taco completely out shines the GM Colorado twins which are nothing more than a $9,000 remade 15 year old S-10 with old dated and cheap technologies with a $30,000 plus price.
