Changes for 2010 Tacoma-Suggested

Krazie Sj,

Ok good argument.

Can you explain? Because I always thought the only benefit to brake drums is that it is reduces production cost for the company. Which is fine, but the disadvantage to the consumer is that they now have to service their front braking more often.

True. the electronic motors that power these things adds more wieght.

The engine doesn't bother me either, but Toyota could at least try to reduce engine noise.

This is my first toyota ever! I think Toyota made a great truck. They made it cheap, but they compensated the consumer with a great ride, performance, and reliability. If it were up to the big three, they'd just make it cheap....lol

 

Wait, let me get this straight. You are on a Toyota Tacoma fourm, and you are talking up a Frontier? SOME ONE BOO THIS MAN!!!! All that extra B.S. it has, Will it help you on the trail or in a blizzard? Then it's all just prefrance.

 

heated mirrors for sure that ice knows where to bulid up . ill have to do some DIY mod for this

 

• Moon Roof - Don't care - I'd rather get aftermarket and get it installed where I wanted. +1
• Heated Seats - Don't care +1
• Automatic folding rear view mirros - "I'm not lazy" - +2
• Rear Sliding window - Don't care.
• Some basic kind of electric rear/front window defroster - Never needed it for the rears. +1 Never found some ice the heater couldn't melt.

 

Solid front axle and turbo diesel for me please

 

Boo! I test drove a Frontier... total p.o.s.

 

Welcome to TW, now kindly get your butt in the new member section and properly introduce yourself

 

- Electric full-opening rear window like the Tundra
- Rear window defroster (I had one on my Frontier, VERY convenient)
- 4WD tranny set up like my FJ Cruiser with A-Trac and the REAL 4WD shifter, not the air conditioning knob of a 4WD switch we have now - this also has a neutral gear...
- Fog light mod OEM
- MORE power outlets! Especially in the back of a DC!
- Cargo light w/ 3rd brake light
- AUX audio input jacks standard across the board

 

I don't think Toyota made these trucks cheap at all, have you looked under any of Tacoma's competition? The parts Toyota uses are high quality, durable pieces. Drum brakes are fine IMO for a truck this size, unladen rear brakes have little effect anyway. Plus the main reason I think Toyota still uses drums is the park brake. On rear disk brakes they have shitty park brakes that need constant maintenance to work properly, the only advantage I give to rear disks would be hauling heavy loads, or four wheeling, drums aren't the best in the mud or backing down steep grades.

 

More cup holders!

 

-rear cargo light
-factory projectors with HID's
-white or even blue dash lights. the orange is very tacky. or go the 08 mustang route and make it to where you can change to any color you want.
-A better suspension package for the offroad package. i.e TC UCA's, toytec coilovers at a minimum

 

haha, I think I have like 13 cup holders in mine!!!

 

Yeah I get that alot on this stupid forum. Maybe you children can't read but the thread topic is about improvements/accessories on the tacoma. Not about about attacking other members.

 

Read the first post again - Silverado. Not a Nissan. Silverado.

But hey, there ain't a prayer in the world that can help some peple on the trail or in a blizzard. So it doesn't matter what they drive.

 

• Moon Roof - Take it or leave it
• Heated Seats - I have leater and heated seats (Canada)
• Automatic folding rear view mirros -No need on a small truck
• Rear Sliding window -My truck has one
• Some basic kind of electric rear/front window defroster-Front defrost is standard- never have needed it for the rear.

Power seats would be nice.

 

How about a front LOCKER or atleast a limited slip in the front, replace the 400 watt converter with one that is actually usefull, maybe 1500 watts or better and how about a rear heater like the one in my 85 4runner, my kids feet get cold when we are out wheelin in the snow. Just my .02 cents worth.

 

i think we could all go for a roll down rear window(id even be fine if it was a crank down!)

and rear discs!

and a moon roof, so i will miss my jeep less when i get my tacoma!

 

Extra weight over the rear axle, won't lock up the rear like a disk brake will bunch of other stuff. Not sure which thread it was in, but it made a lot of sense. Realistically, I've never had a problem with my brakes cept that they have ABS and I hate ABS.

I came from a 91 Corolla. My Tacoma (Relatively) is much quieter by comparison. If I trom the pedal it'll roar louder than my Corolla could squeal.

But cabin noise is fairly mute as far as I'm concerned.

Besides, extra sound proofing = Extra useless weight that = Crappy gas mileage.

 

wow ur really gonna compare a sports car to an offroad vehicle...... good one...


hmm... $20,000 truck vs. $50,000 sports car.... for that kinda money, that shit better wipe my ass too! n yes a corvette is a womans car. first of all its a chevy, second, its nowhere near worth the money. my S2000 will eat up a vette.

THANK YOU, COME AGAIN!

 

HAHA I wouldnt be caught dead in an s2000, modern day miata

As for changes I say add 4wd shifter and cargo light
