Chicago Auto Show Photos

Hi guys/gals,

Here are some photos including the plaque with some information on it from the Chicago Auto Show. It shows the trim levels etc. Also noted a couple new support beams on the frame...maybe I just never noticed them before.

Thanks for the pictures and info.
I suppose no word on engine output and economy?

 

I asked a few people and got a well rehearsed "better than the current truck".

 

Thanks for posting these, went to the NC Auto Expo last weekend with very little hopes of seeing the new Taco and much to my surprise...no new Taco. Glad to see someone got to see it in person. I am thinking that they really only have 2 of these bad boys right now (the limited and TRD OR) and that is why they are only showing up at certain car shows.

 

Everyone keeps saying there will be no TRD Sport. But the plaque says there will be one.

 

This truck is probably a pre-production model. Nothing to sweat, IMO.

 

Thanks for the cab mount shot...

 

OMG IT has a GOPRO MOUNT?!?!

 

Seems like there were rumors about a heated steering wheel, but I didn't see a button for it on any of the pics that have been posted. Guess that one wasn't true.

 

I'd love that.

 

My snow blower has heated hand grips... one of the best things I have ever owned.

A heated steering wheel may be a close second.

 

moonroof!?

 

XRunner's had those braces IIRC.

 

Lol, the leafs are already flat. Guess not too much changed.

 

Same with my motorcycle, I love it.

 

It's one of those things that seems so unnecessary and frilly, but once you've experienced it you just nod your head and say "yes, I need this in my life. I deserve this".

Michelins (maybe the MS2?) on that truck.

Perhaps they will finally start putting decent rubbers on this truck.

I doubt it will be decent rubber. It will be some mass produced tire for Toyota built as cheap as possible. Equals another garbage OEM tire.
