#1 of 101 Future Toyotas by geezer3 Jan 15, 2002 (3:05 pm)
Don't know if this is the appropriate forum or not for this discussion, but after having my Tundra SR-5 for nearly two years would like to see these additional features.   1. An exhaust driven Turbo option for those of us that operate in the higher elevations.   2. A door post with a ' carry through design ' to reinforce the roof for rollover protection.   3. Encase all of the logos ( SR-5 Tundra, etc. )in plastic so they are easier to keep clean and wax around.   4. Outside Temperature and compass option. I understand that may be offered on the '02 models.   5. Additional cargo tie down hooks that are more readily accessible with a bedliner installed.   6. An option for factory installed dual exhaust system.   I have really enjoyed the Tundra but will be looking for these features when I purchase another pickup in a couple of years. I would be interested in knowing what others think and any ideas for making a good truck even better.   Geezer
#2 of 101 Truck Options by paul_p Jan 17, 2002 (4:58 am)
What about automatic climate control 65-75-85 - I've seen it on the Prius. I'd like to see it as an option on the Tacoma/Tundra as well.   Of course, since it is a Toyota people tell me (at 139,000 miles) my '93 truck is just breaking in. So it will probably be a few more years before I consider a new (used) one.     - Paul
#3 of 101 Tacoma Redesign 2003/4? by idaho4x4 Feb 05, 2002 (3:13 pm)
So I have read that there may be a redesign of the Tacoma for the 2003 model year. Has anyone else heard this? If so its coming down to the wire and I haven't seen anyhthing. I've also heard it may just be a better 6 cyl motor. Anyone got any thing to verify this?? thanks

I was wondering the same thing, some people told me 03 others 04. Im not sure which year it's gonna happen but I would like to know for sure so I can make a decision on what I want to buy.
#5 of 101 '03 Tacoma by sjwsmw Apr 25, 2002 (7:17 am)
I had read a reference that 'insiders' have learned that Toyota has decided to delay the redesigned Tacoma for 12 months, introducing it as an '04 model. I read this several weeks ago, don't recall where and I just found this forum. Any new news I will reference the source. I wonder if the delay was caused by the success of the Chevy Avalanche and incorporating this functionality in the Tacoma was the reason. ?? I have to think that every truck manufacturer is busily working on a version of that flip-down rear wall feature.

2003 will have a stepside.   2004 will have the double cab with the standard size bed.
#7 of 101 Tacoma redesign for '03 vs. '04 by djtibb Jul 11, 2002 (10:06 am)
One way to tell if they're going to make a radically different model is to look at production dates. Depending on how many plants a manufacturer has, they will usually produce all of the trucks for the final model year of one style early so they have time to retool for the new models. Sometimes options begin disappearing toward the end of a model run too. This also helps simplify the production process to help ramp down production and get ready for the changeover.   I've read other posts on here about looking through production lists to order a truck with ABS. This should give some indication of whether they're stopping production for a retool and when.   Of course, this is all dependent on whether Toyota will be using a new or different plant for the new models.

I've seen a picture of the step side version of the 2003 Toyota Tundra, but nothing of the double cab Tundra. Motortrend says Toyota plans to come out with the heavy duty crew cab in 2003, but Toyota isn't saying anything. A few sales people have told me the double cab will be a 2003 model. Does anyone know for sure?
#9 of 101 Sorry, No Double-Cab for '03 MY by vixter Jul 13, 2002 (1:13 pm)
Here are the changes for Canadian spec. 2003 Toyota Tundra: All models are to receive a revised front bumper, grille, lower valance & body-side mouldings. All V8s: LSD, Trailer hitch w/7-pin In Tundras w/ bucket seats you'll find a center console out of a Sequoia In the Limited you'll find steering wheel mounted stereo controls & 17" alloy wheels. Some colours are being replaced as well.  No Tundra HD or Crew Cab for '03. Don't be surprised if you see the new 4.0L vvt-i V6 engine around the middle of the model year and possibly the introduction of a 3/4 ton as a '03.5 MY. No step-side for Canada(thank god). That's the skinny from up here.
