Hmmm curious if this affects Canada or not. I don't think it should...

They can, but for what? Toyota is not interested in having the best numbers. If you want the 3.5TT in a smaller Toyota chassis, get the Lexus GX550.

Toyota already has a twin turbo V6 in the tundra. I wouldn't be surprised if a future Tacoma like an X-Runner has that engine in it.

Sorry, but how are we getting less? Better chassis, more torque at lower revs, better transmission, way more tech... Every review so far has indicated it is incrementally better than the 3rd gen in every measure (including efficiency, despite your above statement).

That's awesome! I'm holding out for a hybrid so I'm guessing August-ish :(

That's the cooling test. There's a very long uphill climb that they use for this. Minimum ambient temperature at a minimum speed and the vehicle must complete the climb with no temperature warnings. For downhill, I think they only check a stationary parking brake hold iirc.

So to be clear, a rear differential is most definitely in ALL tacomas (otherwise the rear wheels would not be driven) but the locking rear differential is definitely in all Canadian off road models. See...

Are you asking if the locking rear diff is standard? I believe it is on all TRD models.

Canadian here, and I'm praying they don't come with those. They look super tacky to me.

Tow ratings are based on an SAE standard test including acceleration, braking, handling, and cooling.

Bingo. Most similar policies are managed by the dealership associations (AMVIC in Alberta) who never actually hold the dealers accountable anyway.

That sucks. Was hoping to take one for a spin before ordering my hybrid.

I suspect that for the Tacoma, Toyota will require longer service intervals so the shocks from Fox are likely specifically for the Tacoma.

Huh? I think they've always indicated it would be between 1000 and 1300 depending on configuration?

Waiting on Toyota Canada now... :(

Canadian configs are different. My recollection is that for the Sport, the 6MT is only available with Sport+; not premium.

That was my thought, too. It's effectively the same powertrain as the non-hybrid, but with the addition of a small motor + clutch. The rest is just control of the motor.

Super helpful video. I do wish they set it up for a bit better mileage, but it's a pretty nice system and I like that it can operate purely mechanical if anything goes wrong with the hybrid system.

Toyota rep was with each reviewer instructing them on gearing, lines, which features to use.

I expected a bigger improvement. Sure hope the iForce Max is a significant step above.
