    What did you expect? How many other vehicle makers have done major redesigns?

    Chevy hasn't done one since 07
    Nissan hasn't changed in I don't know how long
    Ford has been the same since 04
    Dodge has been the same since 02

    doesnt look that much different, Not liking those nasty f-150 style tail lights. At least our 2nd Gen will still look somewhat relevant on the streets.

    Well ill retract looks to be legit. Looks wise I'm not a fan at all. The front "under bumper" stuff going on, the rear lower quarter panels, front fender styling to me is all yuck... I dunno maybe it'll grownon me abit but first impressions wise not liking it at all the current styling looks far cleaner and just better.

    Let's see what interior looks like plus the so called major drivetrain changes then decide as a total package I guess.

    Not like when the 2nd Gen made the 1st Gens irrelevant. ;)

    Chris might've just nailed it. Smaller displacement and newer technology means more top end HP but less torque. I like the way it looks but the verdict is still out for me versus the 2nd gen

    not necessarily, the Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, and new Honda 3.5/3.6 V6 engines have close to (or over) 300 hp, and more than 260 lbs-ft of torque. You can have smaller, more efficient engines, with the same power. Now....Toyota has never been a company to play the horsepower game, but they have always had good, solid torque for their trucks. I would be very VERY surprised if they had an engine with that low of torque from a v6.
