This new Tacoma already looks at least a couple of generations old.

Looks nice and aggressive.

People can keep praying for an EV Tacoma, it will probably happen in 4-5 years.
No way I could daily a Toyota quality vehicle after living with the R1T.

More like decepticons than transformers… but to each their own.

There are an awful lot of tricked-out Toyota Tacoma TRD trucks in the PNW. Ever since we got the R1T the wife unit insists on calling them "Toyota Turds".

I don't understand why trucks continue to look more like transformers robots with more and more unnecessary embellishment, decals, etc.
And pray tell what is wrong with looking like Prime? Tonka wouldn't be bad either.

This is what the tundra should have looked like. The new tundra hasn’t grown on me

Toyota is coming out with an all electric Tacoma but probably another year or year and a half to wait. That is what I am interested in seeing.

So how much of a self-centered luddite does one have to be to consider something like this Tacoma toy - which will still be on the road burning gasoline in 2045 - when there are a flood of new electric trucks pouring onto the market? Yes, there are people who will need a work truck now, when the EV equivalent is not available or affordable, but this thing? No. Just no.

I like it. It will sell very well. I do think good sales will steer Toyota further into delaying meaningful change into bev vehicles and cost them hugely in market share down the line if they don’t get their butts into gear.

Let's be real, no electric trucks are $50k yet. So I don't think it makes you self centered or a luddite to buy a mid sized truck in 2023. Get ready for the Ranger Raptor and Colorado ZR2 (plus all the cheaper low tier variants) to launch later this year as well. An R2T might be the first of it's kind in 2026...

Because it goes back to "look at me, I'm bigger than you, therefore I'm better."

Everything about pickups these days is made to make them look bigger and boxier. It's annoying. They need to design a pickup for guys like me that don't give a crap what others think and have nothing to prove. That would be nice.
