Next Gen Tacoma? What do you want to see?

Better MPG/New V6 from 4Runner and FJ
Bed light integrated in 3rd brake light
chip resistant paint
Consistent paint finish on fenders (dull on 2nd gens due to plastic texture)
Rubber/Vinyl floor, doesn't everyone get rubber floormats anyway?
Higher thigh support angle in front seats
Bulletproof tailgate that won't bend
Locking tailgate if it is removeable (or just make it unremoveable!)
Locking gas door
HD Radio with AUX input, USB input, and no CD/DVD junk, or just one that works!
Rust resistant frame
More bed D-Rings and wall tie downs
Higher quality dash, less cheapo plastic (dimpled junk is horrible)
Clock and Radio readouts that are visible in sunlight
DO NOT make it look like the new 4Runner (or in other words, like ass)
Slide down rear window (like Tundra)
Get rid of fabric on arm rests (use leather or vinyl)
Center console made of less hard plastic
Slightly darker gray fabric that won't show dirt as easily
Stiffer rear leaf springs on TRDs
Fix erratic shifting problem
Homelink buttons along side Temp and compass
Real time MPG computer like my 2005 4Runner
Fix spongy brake feel
Rear disc brakes
Hood lift dampers

 

I want our tacomas to look like 2010 TUNDRA.

 

That is my fear. Even bigger size and more carlike styling. Ugg. Might as well make it IRS while they are at it.

 

BLIS Option and better throttle response.
I don't know if it was just my old '06, but when I really put my foot down, it took a little longer to kick than I wanted it to.

 

Remove the body/cab from this and bolt the current tacoma body/cab to it.

Good luck getting one of those to North America affordably though. Unfortunately it is much cheaper to SAS a Tacoma yourself... which isn't cheap given current resale values.

 

I would like the see the Hilux offered instead of the Tacoma. Would save Toyota some money in only building one truck, and in my opinion they look better then the Tacoma.

The new same V6 that is going in the new 4 runner is 270hp. Up 10hp from the previous 4.7 V8. Toyota will not be putting the V8 in the new 4 runner, I highly doubt you would see it in the new tacoma. I don't see why modern diesels are any less reliable then older models. If anything the technology is much improved and the design, and materials technology is vastly improved. Compacted graphite blocks, aluminum heads, lots of power and way way better fuel economy then anything previously build without electronics. Your remembering the lemon that has been a Ford diesel since the 7.3L era.

 

X2

 

These are available now if you ask your salesman. Well, not the black color, but my '09 has two stage heated leather seats in a gray that blends in with the rest of the cab.

Just an FYI.

Herbie

 

V6 in the reg cab
power windows and locks in the reg cab
bucket seats
rear disc brakes
bigger front discs
sr5 package and bucket seats in the 5 lug reg cabs
boxed frame

 

Maybe V8 option (unlikely...) but I'll take just a more pep out of the 4.0
auto up/down front windows
entire rear glass window up/down
possible sunroof
power seats

 

Make it exactly like my 1984 4X4 Truck, except with a diesel engine, standard air lockers and paint that doesn't peel.

 

LEATHER!!!! LEATHER!!!! LEATHER!!!! BLACK LEATHER!!!!

Black Floor Carpet!

Do not make it 1st gen size! Then it will be no better than the rest of the small trucks. The new size makes it more comfortable. U want it smaller to fit a trail??? dumbest thing I ever heard, u put huge wide offroad tires and your back to 2nd gen width. PLus only a small margin of buyer takes their truck off road, and of those you only spend a fraction of the time off road.

Power Seats!

Temperature AC Controls

Dual Climate Zones

They will never put a Beefier tire on it because it will make the test Drives louder.

Nav for sure

LEATHER!!!!

Moon Roof

 

Buy one and find out. I had two. The new emissions standards are killing them. Even Cummins aren't what they used to be.

 

Rear disc brakes
Glovebox lock
Lighted controls/switches for 4wd, fog lights, etc...
Homelink mirror
Power rear windor (at least as option on DC)
Locking tailgate
Vinyl floor

 

I sort of agree, the first year with a DPF was crap, however the new model year diesels are amazing engines. I would still rather have a 2006 cummins however. The fuel economy is climbing back up, you have to remember that the first turbo 12 valve cummins made 180HP. The new cummins makes about 360HP, there is no way that the 2 engines would ever be able to get the same fuel economy, or maintain the same level of reliability, if you want more power there will have to be sacrifices. However it seems only to be a problem for the domestic diesel makers, VW's line of TDI is the best they have ever been, clean, quite, incredibly fuel efficient, and the most power they've ever had. I think probably like everything else in the NA market things are slow to change, the new Ford 6.4 is supposed to be the best ford motor yet, better then the 7.3, we'll have to wait and see though.
I think people need to see the benefit of diesels more if we are to ever see them as common as in Europe.

 

i hope toyota do something like this

 

Bed Light
Leather Interior
Sunroof
Power Rear window (like Tundra)
Little bit more leg room in the back seat (Double Cab)
Heavier Rear Suspension
Little More Power either V8 or the new 4Runner's V6.

 

lets see...

1. full tubed chassis
2. upgraded FZJ80 axles, elocked
3. 35s stock
4. TC, Tranny, Exhaust all above frame rails, optional underbelly skid
5. geared Transfer case with optional crawl box
6. 4.88 gears stock
7. optional snorkel

hmm, yeah i think that will do..
