    And it looks like the turbo may be the upgraded engine in the Tacoma and Tundra as it should be

    Going to enjoy watching heads explode heads (no pun intended) of dyed in the wool Tacoma fans....You know who you are

    Don't care what they add. As long as it's still available with a manual.

    The V6 Turbo Tundra rumor has been out for a while now. Bye Bye V8, get one before the new 2021 Tundra debuts in Q4 2020.

    If the V8 goes bye bye forever then I might be forced to leave Toyota when I want a V8 truck

    My wife’s Lexus has a 4cyl turbo and is the reason I can’t stand my 4cyl Tacoma anymore. Bring it!

    By 2025 all models, including the Tacoma, will have at least a hybrid version...


    “Toyota, after years of neglecting of all-electric cars, announced today a huge offensive with a new platform, global models of various type as well as ultra-compact and walking area BEVs.

    The new plan envisions rollout of all-electric vehicles from 2020 (starting with Toyota C-HR BEV and Toyota IZOA BEV twins in China) and Toyota says that by 2025, all models to have electrified version (at least hybrid).

    In the early 2020s, Toyota would like to introduce 10 BEV models worldwide, including six global models, based on e-TNGA platform.”

    What credibility do these dinguses have?
    I couldn't stand to listen after the first 10 seconds or so. Sounded to me like the start of a bunch of speculative bs.

    Can I get the cliffs notes?

    Stock and staying that way
    I am fine with it and am confident Toyota will make a better platform than Ford.

    And before anyone gives me shit, know that I owned and loved a turbo 4 Ford before most of you . I owned an SVO Mustang in the 80s .
