    Sorry. Everyone is pretty heated on this new gen subject. Though some people are just being idiots about it, like cab size and whether it has drums or not, clear evident pictures, lol. True. Hopefully they deliver a refined better power train.

    Yeah, The headlights definitely are too small, and I am not a fan of all the excess plastic bullshit

    At no point did I admit to liking the fair amount of plastic melted onto my truck. :p

    It would be an epic hoax if what they release is different than the blue Tacoma here. The cab shape on the early spy shots from Automobile mag looks different than the 2nd Gen version we see above. Wishful thinking.

    Anyone wonder why the first images they show are of a limited and not a TRD? Makes me cling to hope about what's actually going to be put out at the show seems weird not to lead of with the strongest selling trim

    Because people not on a website where the vast majority of it's users mod their trucks and use them off road prefer the looks of a limited trim vehicle. TW hates chrome, most people who "mod" their trucks hate chrome. The general population does not hate chrome.

    Interior = overhaul
    Engine/tranny = overhaul
    Size/dimensions - Perfected in 05, no need to change
    Body panels - merely a 360 degree refresh, not a completely different truck but I wouldn't have asked for anything different. I don't think a redesign constitutes a different truck. It still needs to be a Tacoma.
