2010 Tacoma Update news (WOW!)...

This was posted just today.

"Tacoma's 2010 updates are a snap to cover: the truck's front cup-holder has been "enhanced," making it clear that Toyota is in the if it ain't broken, don't change it mode. Base prices remain the same, too, ranging from $15,170 for a Regular Cab with a 5-speed manual tranny to $27,075 for the 4x4 long bed Double Cab with a V6 and 5-speed automatic. For now, take a look at 2009 specs and photos:"

So there you go for all those who were waiting. Dealer told me a month ago that the changes were "verrryyyy small" but wouldn't tell me specifics.

(sorry about the wow)

 

not surprising.

 

A bit disappointing. I bet 2011 will bring a complete redesign. I may opt for a 2011 camaro ss myself.

 

More like 2013....

 

Yea they aren't changin till 2013. That has already been announced.

 

The last informed prediction I saw in print claimed 2012 was the planned year for the next overall redesign.

 

Looks like the 2008 to 2009 changes are mostly it for awhile.

 

Aw man, I knew I should have waited till 2010 to buy! That cupholder's functionality is abysmal! It's at least a quarter inch too loose at the second position to properly hold a medium cup from Tim Hortons! This is obviously as major issue for the 2009 model year.

 

Haha yeah never mind the crappy rear suspension and the loud, ticking engine. We gotta fix that cup holder!!!

 

man, where are the pics of this new cupholder? I hope I can retrofit my 09.

 

Wow...2013? Man that's a long time to wait for a redesign. Doesn't Ford change their F150 trucks every 2-3 years? Hahaha.

 

I vote yes for a TSB on the CUP HOLDER!!

 

i was wondering if they would ever put the small tundra motor in the taco. that would be a nice upgrade

 

The Ranger is about 18 years old currently, isn't it?

 

Great...Now I Have to trade my 09 for the 10. I want that improved cup holder...

 

i was just thinking about that hahaha

will swap '08 for '10 cupholder

 

I haven't read through the articles but is there any mention of color choices? I wish they'd bring back the indigo. If not it's going to be the mag grey for me!

 

Somebody needs to put together a DIY "Enhance the cupholder in your shitty 2005-2009 Tacoma to match the functionality of the fan-damn-tastic 2010 Tacoma" thread.

 

I wonder about the four new colors myself.
