2020 configurator is now live

Based on this photo, the grille on the 2020 Tacoma TRD looks better than 2016-2017, but not as good as the 2018-2019.

 

The 2017 was perfect for salmon and kebabs. The 2018 moved more towards the right spacing for steaks and chops. This 2020 Grille looks like you put the whole cow on there.

 

Loving those new LED headlamps!!!

 

I'd say it looks better if for nothing else than it doesn't have the annoying chrome surround price piece. One less thing to swap out!

 

Watch what you say .

 

Good point. I hadn’t noticed the lack of a chrome surround.

 

I wonder if Toyota will ever run out of different versions of expanded metal for their grille inspiration?

 

Wow! So, this is where the design team has been copying ideas?!

 

Maybe it's that you should spread this kind of bull on your uncle's corn fields (where it would do some good) instead of on here!

 

The engine doesn’t have any issues. It’s solid.

The emission system does. It’s a bitch to maintain and has a very limited lifespan and high replacement cost.

I own one. Would not recommend a modern diesel to someone who absolutely does not need it.

 

My 17 sport with P&T , cast running boards and tonneau , 2020 build came in at 44,317 lol .

 

It’s the main reason why I passed on the leftover 2018 Cummins Ram. The motor itself is great, the mandatory emission equipment is where owners have issues.

Current diesels have gotten way too complex to comply with government emissions standards. The motor and exhaust are now full of sensors, DEF, PDF, regenerative cleaning cycles to burn off soot, etc. Way to much to go haywire after the factory warranty expires. You need the dealership computer to assist diagnosing the red idiot lights that will pop up in your dashboard.

 

Am I the only one who thinks the headlights are ugly?

 

Id like to see vertical bar type grille like on 2001-2004 1st Gens again.

 

Damn that’s a nice looking truck!

 

Nope.
