    A 70 Series would be great- just add ABS, air bags all over, automatic climate control, heated and cooled seats, power seats and windows, adaptive cruise control, KDSS, thumping stereo and a dash-mounted laptop to control social media and navigation for people who can't read maps and a removable roof that will never get removed. Perfect!

    Look at all the people who can't live with out heated seats and steering wheels. When I was a kid I rode in cars that had ripped up vinly seats that would poke you in the back of the legs, failing paint, and no hub caps. People today arent what they were decades ago.

    I would like one with air conditioning. Nothing else is really needed.

    truth..

    When I was a teen I hitchhiked and rode in any type of vehicle that would give me a ride if I had the engine out of my 67 Camaro and it wasn't running .. usually was lucky enough to have my Calculus professor pick me up on the way to college. times have sure changed.

    I rode in all kinds of shitty cars. I currently own a 25 year old 300k taco.

    it’s not that I can’t live without heated seats, it’s that there’s no reason that I have to anymore.

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Man....The zr2 bison was about the only other truck that came into the running when purchasing my tacoma. I still have a few second thoughts every now and then.

    Some people like simple. That is the utility package with rear seat delete. Only option is 4x4.

    A lot of these posts are basically carbon copies of posts from the 3rd gen forum when it first came out. The more things change, the more things stay the same I guess...

    Exactly. Same thing over and over. Waited for someone to be pissed cause it didn’t come SAS. LOL.

    Yes, same things were said when 3rd Gen came out. I just can’t get past that styling. Let alone pathetic payload and unimpressive MPGs.

    It’s supposed to be “new and improved” Tacoma and IMHO it’s far from it.

    I don’t get heated seats and heater steering wheel. Are you that much of a pansy that you need your precious little butt/hands feel warm?:)

    My truck came with heated seats and in 6 years I’ve used it like 3 times for maybe 30 secs. Absolutely useless IMO.

    Nowdays people focus too much on comfort and luxury. It makes us weaker as humans and that’s a fact.

    I liked the 2nd and 3rd generations and had one of each. I’m waiting for the new Xtracab.

    I’m gonna have to agree there. Especially the OG chrome cheese greater. Like why?!

    I did paint my bezel black and my grille doesn’t stand out as much:
    IMG_0032.jpg IMG_0278.jpg
    It grew on me and I don’t mind how it looks now. But yes, why did they make it so huge? Trying waaay to hard to look “macho”.

    4G though… too many body lines. It looks like a toy inside and out. I doubt it will grow on mr but time will tell.

    I never felt the 2021 grille needed any mods.
