Let’s help Toyota design the 4th Gen. Tacoma

How would you like to see it change? Let’s say the transmission shifts perfect and the acceleration pins you back in the seat so we don’t have to get to mechanical. I would like to see the sun visor flip down to a touch screen that controls climate and 4 wheel drive along with the things the touch screen does now with an added voice assistant that would do all those things to

 

Massive bed coolers.

 

You're in luck

 

Hybrid or all electric. An 8’ bed with the access cab.

 

More cup holders.

 

black out trail version, that looks like a MGM Limited, has back green tea coolers. That would be fucking dope

 

Factory sliders as an option

 

As long as it has more power and three pedals in a DCLB I'm good. Oh and be able to haul plywood between the wheel wells

 

No 'technology'. Some power things (windows, door locks etc) that have been standard for decades are fine. But all the 'smart car' stuff? Fagedaboudit.

Smaller footprint.

Lose the carp mouth/grill.

Option for a 2 speed rear axle. Like 3.9 and 4.9. Front axle is 4.9, so rear has to be set there for 4wd to engage.

None of this will come true, but this is the internet.

 

Diesel motor and better trans

 

How about the ability to put the full Off Road camera suite on a truck without also having to put leather seats / moonroof / premium everything on it?

How about the ability to put a moonroof on it, without having to have premium everything on it?

 

A menu option in the head unit software that can turn off the door chime, and also the seat belt alarm.

And an anytime forward and rear camera built in so I wouldn't have to do this stupid install this weekend.

 

Buttons/dials that you can differentiate without looking
Oh, JBL able to come on the manual
More backseat leg room
Taller rear window so taking out headrests isn't needed
Larger cupholders for my magnum soda

 

Manual on all trims, redesigned wheel/tire clearance so it's easier to mount larger tires, more power.

 

12 speed auto. A straight 6 diesel, front and rear lockers, at least 10 more cup holders.

 

4 wheel disc brakes!

 

All of this. And rack mounts on access and base models. Also a larger panel for added light switches (like 6 dummy switches).

 

If they drop a diesel motor in the 4th gen then I'll be at the front of the line.

 

I second the dials thing. I've only had the truck a couple months, but I still grab the 4WD knob every once in a while while groping for the fan knob at night.

 

Slap on some Tacoma badges and call it good
