    Looks like shit IMO. The original front end looks way better and is the one that is supposed to be on that truck. Doesnt flow, looks like exactly what they did. Slap a new front end on the in stock current body. They should have left it alone until they changed the whole truck. Just sayin

    I dont like the exterior look of the 2012, but I wish I could get that entune dash .. I hate having the shitty stock radio that cant even display all of my XM information ...

    ... Is there an aftermarket radio that could use the existing XM hook ups .. im basically just looking for a larger screen to display more info.

    For some reason, it looks much better in the brochure than it does in those pics. The front-end doesn't look "high enough"...it's hard to explain.

    I really do like what they have done with the interior - I like the new white LED's to match Entune.

    Not only that, the 2.7L engine used to be rated at 19/25. That figure has been LOWERED to 19/24.

    Did you notice on page 1 that the Double Cab 4x2 they introduced in 2011 is not listed? You know, the NON-Prerunner variant.

    A one year wonder, I guess.

    On subsequent pages, the 4x2 Double Cab appears in some charts, but not all.

    Weird.

    Weird indeed.

    They may just have thrown this together so they could get something posted.

    Although, they don't appear to be too worried about the release, or keeping it hush-hush. I posted some of the pics from the brochure that BRI posted on Toyota's Facebook wall yesterday and I'm amazed that they didn't remove them.

    No, but I imagine these dates are still fairly accurate. Some members on here are saying that they have heard that dealers will be getting them in mid-September...but...who knows.

    I really really like the new stereo. 100x better than the current stereo.

    Notice that the audio input is replaced with the USB AUX.

    I like it, too.

    Although, I prefer simplicity...so I would probably go with the non-Entune stereo if that was available in the trim I wanted.

    That is the non-Entune stereo.

    Right, I was just saying that the one pictured looks complicated/busy enough that I wouldn't want the Entune to add to it.
