What's the chatter on the 2018's?

Sorry bout all that after my first line.

 

SO has anyone been able to take any pictures of any 2018 Tacomas?

The leaked pics of the grills was intriguing!

 

They aren't supposed to start building them until November, so it's tough to have pics. Those grills were probably prototypes on 17s, if real.

 

Where did you hear November? Curious because I keep reading September and October production start dates but this is the first time I've seen November mentioned.

I'm hoping to get myself a loaded cement OR around Xmas.

 

Pretty sure it was earlier in this thread. Some folks have posted documents showing Tacoma production dates that indicate mid-November startup and mid-December on the lots. Look back several pages.

 

That was the same paperwork I read too, it was like mid November before production starts and early December before they hit the dealers lots.

 

Cool. Thanks guys. I guess I just missed that one, but good to know that 2017 may not happen for me, pending availability of exact config.

 

Pretty sure the drums are going to stay, for now at least.

 

Since the TRDs are getting a leather option. What is the exact purpose of the Limited model in the line up? Honestly the only reason I was interested in the Limited was due to the leather seats

 

MOAR CHROME! Also I am pretty sure you can get all the TRD's without the Tech package but it's stock on the limited.

 

Hahaha. I wouldn't be surprised if that add even more chrome.

I was pondering whether to get the 2018 Sport or Limited. The new leather addition to the TRD package made the decision much easier

 

Hilariously, it's the opposite in Canada!

 

Its actually the same here, the only Long Bed Manual available is in SR and Sport Access Cab form, think you guys get the bonus of the Off Road AC Manual too.

 

But that lond bed manual SR has to be the 2.7L 4-cylinder.

An OR manual AC would be sweet!

 

I saw a cement TRD Pro earlier this week. The color looks better in person than what I've seen on here (not that I thought it was a bad color). I'm hoping to get an '18 sometime next spring, so look forward what that color will look like on the TRD OR. I like white the best, but there's really not a bad color on these trucks imo.

 

Has anyone found out if the style of leather in the new premium package will be like the limited but in black?

 

Will the access cab get black leather?

 

I don't see why it wouldn't.

 

Does not look like it unfortunately

Toyota probably doesn't want to put leather on the rear jump seats.
