when will toyota announce the 2011 tacoma?

2010?

 

I'm gonna go with July 4th

 

no way!

 

Has anyone heard if Toyota will at least update the 2011 Tacoma to have dual VVT-I? They have updated the 4.0 for the FJ Cruiser and 4runner with dual VVT-I.

 

I know there has been a lot of speculation regarding the next generation, however they can update the engine/transmission without doing new skins. For example the 2010 FJ Cruiser (Dual VVT-I 4.0). Another example is the 2010 Tundra, all new engine and transmission option (4.6 liter with 6 sp auto instead of old 4.7 liter with 5 speed auto).

It doesn't make much sense to build two 4.0 V6 for the trucks, and truck based SUV's.

My 2 cents.

 

Bet that won't happen till 2014

 

^ i thought there was internal toyota docs posted showing a 2011 updated release?

 

I heard 2015. 2018 if there is another thread like this posted on TW.

 

i heard they are dicontinuing the tacoma until 2042, and adding 4x4 and a trd off road package to the prius...

 

September 13th or 16th

 

ok seriously.... we both know that our trucks dominate the ranger... there's no "competing" to be done.

 

none yet, sorry forgot to mention they are also adding a v12 with no cats.

 

Apparently the Ranger is dead. No 2012 model.

I had a Ford Ranger back in 1988. 2.3L 2WD, bare bones truck. It never gave me an issue with 12 years of ownership. Basically nothing to break.

 

And Ford has changed very little since then.

Makes me laugh

 

Well Ford has a generation change scheduled for 2012

lets see if we are still laughing when it comes out ?

Time will tell

 

I called my local dealer today regarding purchasing a new Tacoma. During our conversation I asked him when/if we will see the 4.0 Dual VVT-I in the Tacoma and when is the scheduled redesign. I could hear him looking through some papers and he stated to me that the redesign is scheduled for model year 2011 or 2012.

1) I was a little surprised he had this information.
2) Also surprise that there was a range and not a dinfinitive model year. I questioned 2011 OR 2012, and all he could state was that's the information they had recieved from Toyota.

Does anyone know if the information the dealers carry with regard to future models is accurate?
