What exactly are smoked headlamps?

He probably means tinted headlight assembly.

Oh, that sounds like it would look pretty good. I don't know about those LED's, though.

I had to do some hunting to find my DC in Jersey all the dealers had either sport or off-road equipped taco's. I just wanted a plain sr5#2 4x4 DC.

no. I say wait another year. The 10 might be a big model change.

norcalbb11 · May 20, 2008

yeah but you know they will always have changes

norcalbb11 · May 20, 2008

so they are going to have a leather package on the 09 right? and if so any colors picked out?

they will, but in the next year or two it will probably be the big changes. Maybe a different body style, engine, transmission, interior, etc...

norcalbb11 · May 20, 2008

what makes you think that?

Hotdog · May 20, 2008

I thought that toyota likes to do about 5 years for a specific model before they do any updates. Again, this is all just speculation, but I have a feeling that there haven't been many changes to the Tacoma since 2005. I think they are due.

norcalbb11 · May 20, 2008

yeah i can understand that, im not trying to argue at all haha i just wanted some insight from other people. My tacoma has over 150k now and its getting expensive with all the maintenance now thats why i was thinking of buying an 09

are you spending $350/month on maintenance? If not, I'd enjoy the lack of a truck note for another year. I'm not trying to be preachy either, just saying what I would/should do.

norcalbb11 · May 20, 2008

no not that much haha, but i would have the new truck paid off in about 3 years so it wouldnt be that bad

Hotdog · May 20, 2008

I feel like the 4.0 engine should be getting better gas mileage. Many manufacturers are adding functionality that shuts down multiple cylinders to save gas on the highway. I don't think that it is a far stretch for Toyota to start adding that to the next major Tacoma change.

I'm pretty happy with my Tacoma. Most of the complaints I had about it are fixed with the 2009. If you really want a new one, I'd wait to see what the 2010 model has. It would only be a year.

norcalbb11 · May 20, 2008

yeah true it just sucks waiting, i would like to have 4 wheel disc brakes, i hate the drum brakes in the back

supra90140 · May 20, 2008

DANG IT why couldnt they make these changes for the 08.

linkfeeney · May 20, 2008

the 09's are coming in august

the 08's must be dirt cheap by then u think???

I guess if the gas hits $5, I guess I won't be getting it... hahaha sucks for me.

Geo Metro will be the way to go!!!
