    I like the old school look but I'd get rid of the rest of the emblems if it were mine.

    I like both styles but would probably feel cooler having the big 'Toyota' on the back of my truck.
    As far back as I can remember, I've always seen old Toyota trucks driving around with that big ass "Toyota" on the tailgate. Well, actually, the word had always always always seemed to be worn down to just "YO".

    It's kind of a milestone, though, that Toyota switched it to a much smaller font and more traditional location. Back in the old days, Nissan and Toyota trucks looked almost identical to most people I'm sure. The only way to tell them apart would have been the tailgate. That, and the trucks didn't have any names. So people just called them "a toyota" or "toyota pickup". Now, you can spot a Tacoma a mile away and you know it's a Tacoma!

    The smaller font and wording in more traditional and reserved locations is also more refined, just as the Tacoma is much more refined than the old Hilux trucks
