Isn't a 2016 Tacoma still a 2nd gen?

2002 Tacoma RZN150 turbo

2RZ-FE Turbo Intercooled, standalone........... Exactly 150% more power to the wheels than stock at the wheels. Supra transmission, 4 linked rear, QA1 coilovers all around, S-Runner rear sway bar, Corbeau bucket seats, forged 5 spoke 17x9 wheels, Wilwood 12.19" 4 piston brakes, Ford 9" rear end (early bronco) 31 spline, full floater, big bearing, 3.50 gears, trac-lock. fully functioning air conditioning and cruise control....

When I was at Toyota getting some parts, I asked the parts guy and the manager that's been there forever and they both said 2nd gen.

Looks like the same body, just a face lift and new options

Discuss?

Please review the toyota commercials. Does it say "same as last year". The commercials refer to it as the "all new" 2016 Toyota Tacoma, hence "Gen 3". Your parts guy and Manager have not done their homework and still thinks its 2005!

Calling it a 3rd gen would be easier to differentiate.
