2012 Tacoma's new "upgraded" TRD Sport Package......

'05 - '10 grills. The 2011 was changed and IMO blows the '12 away.

Chrome wheels stink, 18" wheels stink.

I like the new shape tho.

 

looks awesome but I will have to keep mine it has a title with it..

 

'12's- best front end appearance yet

 

I got my 2012 a month ago and really like the look of the truck. It grows on me more and more. I did opt for the "Upgrade" package with the chrome wheels. I didn't realize they were plastic until the truck arrived at the dealer for me to pick it up. I wasn't having that so I raised a stink with the sales manager and got them to give me my $600 back towards and new set of wheels. Went shopping for 18" wheels and couldn't find much that fit so I had to go to 17's and kicked in some cash for tires. I am glad that it worked out that way because I really like the new wheel and tire combo I ended up with instead of the crappy plastic wheels and street tires it came with.

 

Plus-one.

I think the new grill/headlights/hood scoop is all just fine and quite good looking. Kinda has that mean, under-bite, bulldog thing going on.



But the fact that the rest of the truck is the "old" genII taco with all the organic lines... It's no longer a cohesive design. And the 18" fake-chrome hub-caps are just stupid.

Not bad....I'd skip the wheels!

 

^^ Yep! very true!
If they only changed the fenders all around giving it a wider stance, and matching the front end lines .. Then it could be considered a new gen. "not just a face lift"..
And would look alot better, I think..

 

Front end MIGHT grow on me in time.The 18" tires and the Plastic chrome hub-caps Just dont cut it. Toyota dropped the ball on the Wheels!

 

The skewp is hardly noticeable any more and that sux.

 

I didnt like it when i first saw it, but it has grown on me.

 

I saw a 2012 sport at dealer. the part i like best is the part you dont see, the interior,the interior in the 12 i feel is much better than previous years. But the 18" chrome wheels are hideous, and i hate how the front fenders flares meet the front bumper it looks odd up close i think. and why even bother with a scoop that looks like a tiny slit.

 

I think I would take the hub caps off and paint the wheels black

 

sweet truck hate the wheels plus needs a lift

 

No Bueno, No likey change!...... or chrome

 

look like f150 WHEELS

 

I like it better than my 2011 Sport. I read the back-up cam screen is larger too.
