Any news from Toyota on a possible redesign

I'm a former Tacoma owner..regrettable as it is but the worst mistake I made was selling my 2013 off road for a 2016 sport. the engine and transmission of 2nd gen is far superior in my humble opinion. I got rid of the 16 as a cost cutting measure due to having close to 16k in equity but I can't wait to get back into a tacoma. i simply refuse to make the same mistake with what I know to be an inferior truck. I certainly hope that Tacoma keeps the exterior but brings back the 4.0

 

Not gonna happen (bringing back the 4.0). That drivetrain is gone with the past, although the next gen will have something different it won't be the 4.0 again that you know and love.

And the next generation of Tacoma won't be until ~ 2026 or thereabouts, given that each generation has lasted roughly a decade.

If you really want the 4.0 again, I'd look for a low mileage 2015 Tacoma or a 4runner since it still uses the 4.0l (for now).

 

Make this post again in 2025.

 

No, there has been no news.

And I don't think you think that opinion is humble at all.

 

troll

 

yeah..ive been looking at some 15's but I gotta admit I like to be the one and only owner..this blows.

 

Buy another second gen?????

 

Option C: cry about it on the internet

 

pack of bastards..lmao

 

Or learn to drive a standard and eliminate like 90% of the "3rd gen issues."

 

I'm not a fan of the 3rd gen either but damn...
Did you test drive it?

 

what is the point of these posts lmao. Can we just create a "3rd gen Griefers" sticky or something...the people who didn't testdrive properly shouldn't be able to bombard the 3rd gen forum imo.

The '19s are literally just off the press so there'd be no possible way of knowing a complete overhaul unless you are really plugged into toyotas long term planning. If word got out that a redesign was coming right when they release the '19s their sales would be a complete disaster.

 

So buy a 3rd gen and do an engine swap with a rebuilt 4.0l...

 

Next up, let's go tell the first gens they are all too small..

 

Then you are getting in your own way.

 

It’s too bad cuz what you don’t know about a 3rd gen...I can just about squeeze into the Grand Canyon.

 

who you callin small

that's the biggest reason I got one

 

Wish I could shrink the third down to first gen size. Would look so cool.
