3rd Generation Tacoma? Release 2015 or '16?

Has anyone heard or have knowledge when the new body style 3rd generation Tacoma will be released?

I'm wanting a new truck. Been driving my '06 since Nov/2005. She still looks good, runs excellent with over 250k miles. I am thinking time she retire to the barn and buy a new one.

Will wait until this new style is released.

 

In short? No. Some people talk 2016, but it's talk and Toyota hasn't released anything publicly.

 

BTW 2015s have been out for a month or two.

 

3rd gen will be a 2016 model. There are already spy shots of it driving around undergoing testing. You'll be able to buy one a year from now.

 

Pics?

 

there are no pics.

its just a 2nd gen body on a mule to test transmission, frame and some interior bits.

 

So that means redesign in 2016? In what world.

 

Might be a redesign in 2017, and they will just release more 2015s as 16s.

 

happens every year

 

I has a 3rd gen

 

i've seen so many threads on the next generation that i pretty much know exactly how it will be, and what i really want to know now is what the generation after next will be like and when it will release

 

He has a point. What's the 5th gen looking like? Heated mirrors?

 

Custom carbon fiber tires, a 4' spoiler on the anti gravity tail gate, heated and cooled stereo controls so your fingers don't get too hot or cold.


In all seriousness though prob next year will be the new redesign.

 

Could you mod the AC and heat controls to be cooled and heated also? In case I get blinded and I need to adjust my ambient air temps, I can do it through touch like Helen Keller.

 

DAT MPG DOE

 

All true. It'll also come with an extra button that launches a heat seeking missile at the nearest 2nd generation Chevy Colorado and rear impact airbags. Diesel electric will be the only power train option.

 

i heard they were going to make cavities all over the truck and seal them and fill them with helium to reduce weight which also will increase payload and towing capabilities. sources say the helium bladders will need servicing every 30,000, and should shave off significant poundage

 

But there's a helium shortage right now. WTF Toyota!

 

Don't worry, the bladder material will be dual lifting gas compatible. Hydrogen can be used in a pinch just don't light a match.

 

You would hold off buying a new truck, just to play guinea pig for a redesign in its first model year? You are very brave, OP!
