Actual Toyota 2018 Tacoma news

I can't wait till they start making Tacomas in Japan like the 4runner. I feel like the build quality would be a whole lot better than on the U.S. built ones.

 

The Hilux returned to Japan this year after an absence, although it's not made there anymore.

 

My engine and tranny were. With forged internals. You know what else was forged in Japan? Fuckin samurai swords, that’s what.

 

Driving up the 5 freeway here in San Diego I saw this.... did I just spot some cement colored tacoma that are not Trd Pros?!! Aka 2018

 

I just went back through an re-read all of the releases and came to the conclusion that the 2.7L no matter the configuration will not have a manual transmission. WTF

 

Highly doubt the plant makes a difference. My 16 T4R [made in Japan] is plagued with many of the same drive-train issues as the Tacoma. Basically, 10,000 parts from all over the world--branded a Toyota.

 

Toyota killed it. They are pushing everyone into TRD Limited and Pro.

Very soon a base model will run you $35K.

 

the SR model might only make up 15-25% of sales but there are defiantly people buying those low level trims... I think they might be pricing themselves out of their own market niche. IMHO

 

.
Hopefully, they will discontinue that mini-van rated 3.5 engine soon!

 

It ain't no 3.5 EcoBoost, thats for sure.

 

That's pretty high. I talked to my dealer in northern California and for the same build (but manual), it was approx $36-$37k. Also, is that including tonneau cover and running boards? Because that seems to be a common add-on to the fully built models lately.

 

Last time it was the death of the standard cab. Next it will be the end of the MT

 

Don't you wish that evil upon us. I know for at least 2018 they are making the manual. I just hope it only gets better from here....
