    I'm trying to find out what the differences are between the 2018 and 2019 Tacoma Off-Road Double Cab. I can see the specs for 2019 at the Toyota website, but can't find the specs for the 2018s.

    I've been searching but cant seem to find a good website with detailed specs for the 2018 Off-Road.

    I know there are upgrades/packages so it depends on each tacoma but just wanting to know what changed from the 2018 to the 2019 model overall.

    Anyone know a good website for typing in the VIN and getting all of the detailed vehicle specs?

    I know KBB has it but just wondering what the best option is out there.

    Thanks

    Nothing except the number 18 or 19.

    17 had some minor updates
    18 added TSS
    2020 is next round of updates

    Was it 18 or 19 that they moved the rear window from the left to the center? Think at least the 17 and before has it on the left.

    Maybe I’ve seen relocate pix then.

    Edit: Confirmed... should probably add things like “I think it’s always been center,” if you don’t actually know,

    2018 has a driver side bed compartment, 2019 removed that.

    2019 has more USB ports I believe.

    Nope. This 2017 non modified limited has the window on the left.

    Thank you. Knew I wasn’t crazy! Or at least about that!

    I’m apparently confused. How is this on the left?

    Did the 2019 get factory tailgate lock vs distributor/dealer?

    2020 gets new Carplay/Android Auto radio.

    That I can believe, it makes more sense now. We all agree that the sliding window is still in the middle, correct?
