    We could always go hang out in "3rd gen concerns" and debate drum vs. disc brakes....

    Hey, it's an honest concern. How will a mid size truck ever stop without rear disc brakes?

    Do you think the color of the truck will affect it's gas mileage? And should I have said "effect". Also will this forum effect my emotional state? Will the 3rd gen come in a front wheel drive version?

    All very readable questions. I can't wait to hear proponents from Sweers about these questions. How much terrain will the 2016 Tacoma get at highway speeds? Have you ever been as far as to do want look more like?

    2.5 OME Kit Luna Dual Battery Kit (Pending Install) Front Runner SL2 (Pending Install) ARB Fridge and Outback Slide (Pending Install) And other Stuff
    So for those just tuning in to this thread. This is what I have gathered:

    The seat belt bracket was so awesome on the gen 2, Sweers put it in the gen 3.

    Expect variations in gen 3 MPG based on paint color and Harrison Ford.
    Expect to see a Diesel Yaris TRD Pro in the $35k range in the future. :fingerscrossed:

    4.7L Tundras be jelly, but 5.7L Tundras be that jam.

    Flurpidy dem dur flurp.... Cat turds in a sand box
    The gen 3 is actually getting a prius engine, front wheel drive, and possibly a tape deck. Also :fingerscrossed:.
