    Whats horrible here is your logic. You dont become a market leader because you were one yesterday, you become market leader because you constantly produce product that is better then competition.
    Tundra is an excellent example here showing that even with Toyota name slapped on quality vehicle one can not become leader until produces something that is better than competition.
    Sure you can get some sales but they will slowly trickle down.
    2 Gen Tacoma become a leader because when it started offered more room, better towing great payload and few other things. 2016 Tacoma is starting like Tundra at the gate, already behind everybody else. Not a good pole position if you ask me.

    This is for the 2015. Gear ratio only changes based on engine and tranny. No difference between OF and Sport.

    Correction. This is clearly for the 2016 since I do believe the 2015 still has a 4.0L engine in it. 2016 spec sheet is different.

    I agree on the Tundra. Toyota dropped the ball. If it were a better vehicle I would have purchased it over my Taco, but its not.

    As far as the current gen taco being behind the competition, not really man. Looks are subjective so that really cant factor in ( with that being said its still better looking then the domestics and Nissan). Not really sure how exactly Toyota massively dropped the ball in your eyes when it came to the 2nd gen?

    Except Canadians can't get it on anything but the access cab TRD Off Road. We can't get it in a quad cab with an automatic.

    Looks maybe subjective but domestics and Nissan look like Toyota Hilux and Hilux is market leader in smaller trucks so trying to make it into an issue is pointless.

    There are over 6 bln people on the planet and Only few find grin and a snout on the front of the truck a fashion statement. Not sure where Toyota team did their research, must have been some cafe in San Francisco with people high on marijuana playing angry birds. :rofl: Otherwise there is probably not much explanation on choosing a cartoon character for a truck front.
    2016 Tacoma is behind everybody because it seems there is nothing that is class leading and that is brand new model. (if you are not First than you are behind) Being "good enough" is not enough to be market leader. It maybe riding on popularity of 2gen now but fame of your predecessor will get you only so far.
    Tundra is perfect example, just because Tacoma did good, does not mean Tundra will. Just because 2gen did good does not mean 3gen will do as good.
    So far 2016 is class leader in Gopro mounts and drum brakes., neither of each is great selling point for truck crowd.

    Payload, Towing and MPG during towing is what sells trucks.
    One of the first questions people seems to ask, when buying a truck is "What is payload and towing capacity? and mpg gets while towing" If you dont get that right, then you will not sell trucks (Example old Nissan Titan and Tundra)
    When people buy sports car they seem to ask how fast it can go
    When people buy economy car they seem to ask how cheap they can buy
    When people buy fuel efficient car they seem to ask about MPG
    When people buy minivan they seem to ask for number of cup holders, DVD screens and GoPro mounts to record vacation trips.

    I believe all the V6 models were 3.73 and the 2.7 4 bangers (4x4 and Prerunner) have 4.10s.

    I'm sorry. You must be under the impression that homo is somehow a word to be used in a derogatory manner in this forum. There are gay and straight members here who don't care for the use of those words in a manner meant to throw shame or disliking on a subject.

    It should have said "Why would you even post a video of these breeders on this website".
