    2013 is when they will be changing the body style. They did say however that they were going to try to make the TSB list shorter than the 05-09

    For trucks, they need a diesel, and maybe front drive and/or hybrid to get better mileage. I think they could make a lot on a high-mileage city truck based on the camry hybrid drivetrain. (Like the highlander). Toyota will be using focus groups to determine features needed, the "wow" features, and what packages will contain. I'm guessing they will continue the (oversize) Tundra, but Tacomas will get smaller again.

    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    I think the new one will have wings and a jet engine.

    Needs fooking deflector shields- to keep all the stupid away from the car occupants.

    But seriously- a diesel would be nice.

    I think anyone making statements about when the redesign will happen, or what will change, should be required to post their sources...

    I think the 3rd generation Tacoma needs to have V8 4.7 liter engine and it need to be more off road capable

    I hope the 3rd gen has the following: Rear disc brakes, oil pressure gauge and volt meter, ipod interface, cargo lamp, heated mirrors, power driver seat, built-in garage door opener, HID's, keyless buttons on ignition key and larger cup holders. I hope Toyota is monitoring this...
