I was just looking at the most recent pictures posted of the red truck. Either that truck is huge (really close to full sized) or the guys standing next to it are really short. It's not beyond an automaker to use a misleading photo, as I remember looking at a picture of a golden retriever in the back of a Forester in a Subaru brochure. When I looked closely and did some measurements on my own Forester, I figured they either chopped the photo or used a miniature dog, about half the size of a normal golden. |

That is one Sweeeet looking truck.....hey teamgekko do you have any more photos???? My money is in the bank collecting a whopping 1.5%...I can hardly wait to go see my local toyota man and lay the green down. I will mostly likely try and get another winter out of the old ford ('93 ranger) but will have no regrets when I put it on the front lawn for $500. I know that the 05's have not yet landed at the dealers but has anybody heard anything about what upgrades/changes toyota is planning for the 06 taco????? My wife purchased a new 4-runner in 03 an that ride has been flawless.....really looking forward to this new tacoma.

Replying to: tripowertom (Aug 27, 2004 4:23 pm) If any big changes are coming, they'll be in the 2007 Taco to align with the new Tundra. If the rumors are true, the Tundra will probably end up with a 5.5L V8, allowing Toyota to put the 4.7L in the Tacoma. I have no idea if the Tundra will come with all three engines (4.0L V6). It's possible that Toyota may give the 4.0L in the Tacoma GDI in 06 (and not 05 as some were hoping), meaning about a 2-6 mpg increase. The Tundra was anticipating a 6 mpg increase on the 4.7L, but the stickers are only showing a 2 mpg increase. |

| With all the people that visit and post on this forum dont we have one person who works at the TACOMA plant that can keep us better informed then toyota and the dealers? | |

That's a nice double entendre... if there really were someone here who works there, perhaps they'd like to keep their job...? I'm pretty sure most manufacturers keep an eye on these forums and make sure everything is on the up and up. -Mathias

Toyota has traditionally been tight-lipped about upcoming redesigns - so has Honda, for the record. As with most companies these days, I imagine Toyota requires their employees to sign confidentiality agreements, stating that they may not reveal proprietary information. This would, of course, include any information on future models that has not been revealed to the public via press release. By not revealing pricing & feature information prematurely to the consumer, Toyota is also not releasing this information to their competitors. If pricing/styling/features were released earlier, the competition would have that much extra time to work on their improvements, thus reducing any additional profit that Toyota could reap by having a unique product on the market for the longest possible period of time. So, while we're grateful to our Toyota dealers for revealing what information they've got, we have to respect our members' professional positions and their responsibilities to Toyota. In other words, we've just got to be patient, no matter how much it hurts! |
