2012 TACOMA MEGA-THREAD

Thanks for sharing, I just don't know if I have the patience to wait that long!

 

Awesome dude!!

Fink

 

hahaha they were really informative... at least they gave a date

 

September 1st. Cool! They just need to make sure those are available at the dealer before December 15, that is when I am buying!!

Thank you for the info!

 

It appears to be the most solid date we have heard so far.

We now also have an e-mail address for somebody with Toyota we can bug...

Fink

 

Yeah, there are two addresses on the email I sent them. I literally copied/pasted my orginal email every morning until they responded today.

 

That is awesome lol I emailed him and David Lee yesterday as they both were listed on toyota's USA newsroom site as being truck communication specialists. I didn't hear back though

 

Sounds like bugging the hell out of them does the trick...even if it takes a while.

I showed her the photo shopped black 4runner pic floating around here and asked her if it looks anything like that, and she said "mmmmmm, the front (on the new tacos) looks wider and more aggressive than the original, but its not too similar in appearance as the previous 4 runner and current tacoma".

Either way, only time will tell, and not too much is left before it comes out and shows its face.

Edit: I asked her about if there would be any engine upgrades, but her being her never bothered to look into it.

My brother in law works in the department where they paint the trucks, but alas, no info has come from him.

 

ok cool, thanks for the info, I look forward to seeing what it looks like.

 

Well I couldn't wait any longer...
I just picked up my new 2011 Tacoma: DC TRD Sport 6 spd manual in black got it with a lift and tires!
I got the new dash cluster.

 

truck looks really nice, did the dealers give you a good price because of the "pending" 2012's or did they not care?

 

Congrats!

Pics of the new dash cluster you're talking about?

Hi, this is my first post! I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2011, my biggest worry is my garage size. I have 1" of clearance with a double cab 4x4. So if I wait I'm hoping the overall height doesn't change.
I'm going into this hoping to own my truck for 20 years, so I might want to wait until 2012 are here, but I also want the 1.9% they are offering in Nor Cal. Tough decisions are ahead. Thanks all for the updates.

 

Welcome!

I highly doubt the height will change, especially with this being a "minor" redesign/enhancement.

If you are seriously planning on keeping the truck for that long...it sounds like you have the time to wait 20 days and get the real scoop from Toyota.

As far as financing goes, if you have good credit, you can get 1.9% financing from just about anywhere. Even if Toyota doesn't hype it up on the new ones, when I signed for my 2011, I got 0.7% without them honoring an incentive. Granted, that was with my trade-in going 100% towards the Tacoma, regardless, I would not let the 1.9% offer be the deciding factor.

Just my opinion.

I think this is what vincevs was talking about, but I'd like him to confirm

 

Good call - that makes sense.

Fink

 

Yeah... that's it. Was this new for 2011?
Yes, I also got a great deal on rates, dealer and factory discounts. I am going to be pissed if it looks like a 4 runner and LMAO if it is another minor tweek.

 

Man! you guys are awesome!! I reported earlier on that the dealer told me she wouldn't be able to order me a 2012 dc/lb/4x4/trd sport with entune. Needless to say, I was bummed. But now, I just emailed the lady back and threw the Vehicle Inventory Report PDF that vbprsx was so kind enough to upload, and we'll see what she says about that! I don't know what I'd do without you guys... buy a Taco at full price, without the features that I want, in the color that's Similar to what I want, just because the dealer told me it was a great deal!

Once again, you guys are awesome!!!

 

sweet man congrats to the new car.
