    I don't think so. Ive never seen a company say no to making money. If the money were there, I sure Toyota would be all over it.

    My question is, have you guys ever driven a diesel? Sure, you can tow a lot, but you'll be holding up all sorts of traffic. I can imagine colorado's a cceleration is somewhere between a tractor trailer and a smart car in reverse. The 1st gen is a smaller, lighter truck, and has 4.10 gears, but that 190hp V6 (10hp more than the duramax 2.8) is a dog. I can't imagine an enduring fan base for an eco diesel :notsure:. Lots of people will buy it because DIESEL but I don't think it will last.

    Just my thoughts.

    As far as what I read and can understand, BlueT posted saying that I have multiple accounts including dbag, and you +rep BlueT's post, suggesting you concurred with his "findings".

    I'd happily take that comment back if that wasn't your intention. Otherwise I wouldn't have wasted the time and effort to defend myself if that is true. I ain't no chicken-shit like BlueT. If I did something I'll own up to it.

    Head unit. That's it.

    While getting that engineering degree, see if they offer classes on how to argue your point, or stand up for your point without being so condescending, better-than-thou, and using cute, but, childish name calling tactics. Your future employers will appreciate not having to replace your skills due to lack of tact and maturity.

    But that's besides the point. Take this shit somewhere else.

    When can we expect you to give BlueT some advice on posting?:D

    It is a shame more posters don't stick to discussing the topic.

    Until actual road test reviews are out, I for one will withhold judgement regarding the 3.5L engine going into the Tacoma.

    Somehow we went from a sort of intelligent discussion on Diesel versus Gas engines in the midsized class to this cluster hump.

    Sorry, don't own a Dyson, but that is funny.
    I see you have experience with Dyson vacuums, but who am I to judge peoples sexual preferences.
    You and your vacuum are free to experiment all you want. :thumbsup: :D

    BTW is that you on that video ?

    I'll be happy if the upcoming Taco has suitable power for a midsize truck and increased fuel efficiency. As long as I can pull my 3,500lb trailer, I'll be happy. I don't need to tow a whale; I'd get a full-size ferd fteenthousand for that.
