    Yes it does look like they are going to use body colour trim like they did with the FJ Cruiser on the TRD Sport model.

    It was a Japanese Michael Jackson impersonator.

    I'm ready for a new truck and could certainly use a little help in the MPG department. I just can't seem to warm up to the grill and the tailgate. I need to see one in person before I buy a 2015.

    I can't wait for the aftermarket to kick in on this truck, with a steel bumper and new grill.. I'm sure it will look fantastic.

    Hmm zoomed in, it looks to be vinyl or paint.

    It's weird, in about half of the pictures I like the look of the new Tacoma. In the other half, not so much. Someone pin-pointed my issue with it by referring to it as an under-bite. haha. I would still very much like own one one day! Also really hoping towing hits the 7,000 lb mark.

    We're looking at the limited here, correct? Anyone know if the sunroof
    is a limited option only?

    This is the TRD Sport, so far I think all we know is the TRD Sport and the limited will have the sunroof options.

    Did anyone ever reach a consensus on whether or not the rear door panels are carry over or not on the double cab? Lot's of people debating whether or not the uptick on the door/window was different from the gen 2. I do not see a difference.

    Cool, thx for the reply. I'm looking right now at what features the 2015
    Sport has vs. the limited, assuming they will be similar for the 2016.

    That chrome grill is horrible. The rest of the truck looks damn good. TRD Sport models usually do away with the chrome. Wonder why they have the chrome grill instead of a matte black one.

    Seen this in person last week. The back end was not as offensive as I assumed. However my opinion on front end remains, not so nice. The bottom portion of the bumper sticks out (alot) like 3-4" at least and really is out of place IMO. And ya that grill, it has to go... :(

    Also of course no more information at show, and no way to even look inside so dissapointed by that as well.

    I would have thought Toyota would have used the redesign asan opportunity to lose the childish looking hood-scoop.
