    I'd be STOKED. I've been sayin this from the beginning of the "3rd gen tacoma" discussion... I love the look of the new 4runner and would love to see the Tacoma have that front end.

    You have that right, yesterday a new 4Runner & a old one were side by side what a dif. Just like my 99 TRD tacoma miss that little truck. They will make them biger then drop the Tacoma for a year or two bring it back as a small one. Just like cell phones big then small, big small add some some options, then come out with a pad. Then they have to sell sell make something dif. it's all marketing BS. Just my 2 :cool:

    Agreed! The 90-95' body style was the best. Also, the SR5 package actually came with full adjustable seats with lumbar. Now they call all packages SR5 regardless if it's base model or not.

    True. I was just expecting a complete redesign since the grill and taillights are the only thing they've changed throughout since 05'. This 12' model is just a new front bumper and grill which the current aftermarket front bumpers won't fit on.

    add a friend with a gas station for that thing!

    I'd take a turbo diesel if I could at least get to 30-35...

    I almost bought the new 4-runner trail edition just didn't want to spend the extra money, by the time I was done it was getting close to an extra 10K... plus they are hard to find in socal, so the dealers didn't seem interested to talk to me when they knew I was shopping dealers for it.
