2012 tacoma or older what looks better

I opted for the 2011 over the 2012 due to what I think is better looks and a lower price. 12's are not bad looking though. If the 12's had the newer 4.0L engine I would say they are worth the extra money. I hope to pick up a first gen project truck someday....those were extra sweet looking.

 

im soOo glad i bought my 2011! the 2012 looks cheap! it looks like a stupid "smart car!"

 

I like em, but im that guy that has to have the new one.. ill wait until a all new tacoma maybe another year or so.. then get a new one..

 

I love the 2nd body style out of all of them but I love the fact that you can do so much with the 2nd gen front ends.

 

Not enough difference to me. Whatev.

 

Hated the 2012 at first but it's starting to grow on me. I haven't seen it in person which is supposed to look better.

 

2012 looks much better, finally looks aggressive and not like a girly truck but I like the older models also. Just like the more aggressive look on the 12

 

I would agree with that if they had redesigned the body lines.

The front end just doesn't match the rest of the truck as it sits right now.

Either way, the 2012's are badass looking and the interior is a big leap for them.

I can't wait to see what the next redesign brings.

I think the older ones look better, but it's change and it's going to take getting used to. Maybe then. Too soon.

 

I love the new 2012 better truck all-around. I can't wait to see one lifted on 33's

 

I also think the interior is more important for me, I don't see the outside much when i'm driving.

 

I didn't know my truck looked girly haha

I like them both....if I was in the market for one I'd get one but I'm good for now with my 08

 

I dont like the new front end. Looks like a fat cat fish on steroids.

 

I still prefer the early 2nd gens, but I saw one on the road the other day. Looks a lot better than the pics do justice, early 2nd gens look tougher though.

 

Not in person they don't.

 

The dash inside the 2012 looks better, but outside, the older model.

This one looks like it lost a fight and got clobbered in the nose.

 

I think the 2012 would look bad ass if you put a new low pro plate bumper on it

Just my opinion

 

for those that don't like the front on the 12, will the 11 front fit on it?

 

Most likely yes. The same thing happen to 1gen Tacomas. in 2001 1gen got face lift and people started swapping fronts. Personally I like original 1gen front. After a facelift in 2001 it looked weird and out of place.

I like this style first gen the best, just like my 97 I had before the 08.
