no new Tacoma for 2014

Probably far more expensive than a Tacoma.

 

What is wrong with Euro Ranger?

 

I can't say I understand that Euro ranger disdain either.

Watch "Ford Ranger review - CarBuyer" on YouTube - http://bit.ly/120AVZN

 

this made me laugh, and i couldnt agree more

 

Atleast back to first gen quality!

Looks like the render from last month is spot-on. Here's an official photo released today. Not as ugly as the international version, but not as good as the Taco:

 

Imo, the Taco doesn't need exterior styling changes, but the powertrain and the interior could use a refresh. Unfortunately, with what happened with the "all new" corolla and Tundra, I dint think we can expect engine upgrades for a few years.

The Taco would be flawless with better MPG and a more functionally enhanced cabin. Nothing platinum Tundra like, but a few enhancements that make the truck more decade appropriate.

Ford's the only company who been willing to give you a premium tier of a model that passes it's bigger brother's base price effectively. Their hard work (and ridiculous trim limited and platinum trim levels) has paid off in sick profits this year.

 

^It's funny how that works, people willing to pay $$$ for a premium trim level F150, while the Lincoln Mark LT falters.

Huh, learn something new every day. I'm semi-surprised they haven't gone to electric power steering with the new Colorado.

 

That is amazing.

 

Imagine how much mesh HomerTaco would have to stock for this model? Hahahaha!

NFW I'd buy that.

 

If they ditched the scoop I could probably go for it. I know :flameon:

 

Remember the Tacoma n 4runner were never identical,similar but never the same.Chances are the Tacoma will be different.What if the new Colorado comes out and kicks everybodies butt?

 

that new front end from the 4runner is hideous. Like a pig on 'roid rage or something.

I hate all the techno crap, touch screens, etc.

If all of the auto makers would quit making gadgets and actually make cars or trucks, we'd have some awesome stuff.

Wish I still had my old Toyota and Chevy trucks from the 80s.
My 89 Chevy with a V8 was more fun to drive and got the same mpg as my 2004 Colorado with I5 engine. Colorado was the worst vehicle ever btw. Something was always broken on it.
I like my 2005 taco well enough but the 1988 toyota felt better built even with 200k+ miles on it. The 88 definately didn't rattle as much as my 05 does.

 

Guys the fact is the new Taco is a 2016. Just spent the last 3 days at the National Toyota Meeting in Atlanta. It was announced. Will happen in two years.

 

kind of digging that look. minus that big open snout, but keep the headlights. someone should photoshop the current 13 front to that

 

Rest In Peace Nissan Pathfinder. The new one is basically a glorified mini-van.

 

i want that NAO!!

 

The New Taco will be 2016.
