Toyota contact/2011 tacoma info...

I have a very good contact at Toyota through a family member. I've sent them an email asking about approximate release date and year over year change information. I'll let everyone know what I hear, even if it's a non-ur-biz type response.

 

Thanks.....I know inventory for 2010 is real low...they only have 2 six speed access cabs in the whole southeast reigon. I don't think they can wait that long to start making the 2011's without running out of trucks.

 

Everything I have read has stated no changes for 2011.

 

Someplace, can't remember if here or another forum, it was posted that there are a couple of changes to the offerings such as a 5 lug 4 cyl. DC shortbed.

 

^^ If that were true, There would be ZERO power to it. Just saying

 

My dealer has 15 Taco's on the lot. The GM told me they ordered more because the NUMI plant was closing (now closed) and production wouldn't be up in running in Texas until later this year.

 

This thread title wrote a check that the post couldn't cash

 

Haha nice

 

The above plant was shared with GM. GM decided to no longer utilize that plant leaving toyota to bear the full cost of the plant. Toyota decided to move the plant to Texas with an expectation of full production around November. This maybe one of the contributing factors for next to no incentives on new tacomas.

 

kansas city missouri area has tons of tacos. rolling hills plaza of st joe mo. and jay wolf of tiffiny springs. TONS.

 

I can't believe Toyota would shut down production of the Tacoma for months as they switch production plants (NUMI to Texas). They would have needed to build up a very large stock pile of trucks for that to happen.

My dealer said the same thing about the lack of discounts on the Tacoma, it's a consistent seller.

 

Just at my dealer last week, there were well over 20 New Taco's there. And we have 5 Toyota dealers in the county.

 

It's not like a manufacture can flip a switch and up their production 6 fold in one month so they can then be without production for 6 months.

I'm saying Toyota probably retooled and trained employees the Texas plant to handle the Tacomas BEFORE they shut down the NUMMI plant.

 

Any update on this or what. What a tease of a thread.

 

After extensive nagging and begging, I finally got woodygg to send me the prototype picture of the 2011 Toyota Tacoma. I thought I would share it with you all...



so.. who's getting one?

 

tease? i said what i'm going to do. it will probably take a few days to a few weeks to hear back. he helped me with an issue i had with my 2001 tacoma, but it took awhile to get the answer. thought it would be nice to have real information instead of all the speculation. i was planning on finding out anyway...

 

yeah. No changes BUT ONLY the year... =/ kinda gayyy

 

Oh my bad I just assumed you were going to actually give us some facts based on the title of your thread.

Here are other threads on the rumors of the 2011...
