    I have no complaints. If all the engineers from all over the world want to get together and figure out how to have horsepower, towing, and gas mileage all in the same reliable truck, I am all for it.

    Really? Everyone is OK with Toyota building Ford a motor before they build one for Toyota trucks? They've basically made no effort to improve their own drivetrains in the Tacoma since 2005 and the first thing they do is work with Ford on a F150 hybrid. No dual VVTi, no direct injection, no extra transmission gears, just the same thing for 7 years. Bah.

    Looks like this is an update to a similar thread/article.
