This is lovely, considering how one sees so many stupid copycat accusations against the Tacoma with the Colorado and Frontier. Pretty ridiculous, when this sketch of a TRD Off-Road was drawn in 2020 and obviously the final article. All the surfaces look final in this 2020 drawing, meaning the...

Nah, it's an 8 speed. Sorry about that. I have to go deal with someone, who was clearly speculating and providing me wrong info...

Yeah, we'll see if what he said matches up at all and if the staff insistent on zero V6, are correct.

Just to correct myself, Donlen corrected their info and it's back to matching others, showing November 1, 2023 Job 1. First deliveries is very inexact, depending on freight to dealers. Priority is likely going to be media, personnel, and dealers. Dealers can sell the first units they get, but...

Yep, I've seen the dates and the Trailhunter teasers were shot on February 24, 2023, likely in private on Toyota grounds, either here in Michigan or in Plano. The photoshoot of the 2024 TRD PRO, took place March 16, 2023 in that Utah location. Just 7 days before the first silhouette teaser. The...

Depends, it will effectively be Thursday night in my opinion in the West/Desert/Mountain West regions. A lot of people aren't gonna be going to bed on the east coast and CT, no thanks to Toyota. They really should've done this Thursday afternoon for Hawaii local time and not 7:30PM.

There has been one guy implying the Ranger Raptor will be outdone in terms of torque, but not so much horsepower. He already said a number of times, it's 326 hp, 465 lb-ft. He's seen the vehicle and the 2024 Land Cruiser. Ranger is 405, 430 lb-ft. Remains to be seen how accurate this is, but...

Production begins in November. Unlike the previous gen, TMMTX in San Antonio is no longer a source of supply. It is now Tijuana and Apaseo El Grande, which is even further away from the US-Mex border. Likely one of these plants will shift to MY 2024 first and you might see the earliest examples...

Is a 10 Speed Automatic, from a Toyota employee who works in Vehicle Quality. He also disputed any expectations of V6 and mentioned GX 550 although related to the Tacoma, is a TTV6.

That likely isn't happening, unless for the MMC due 2027. It is be I4 only, in spite of the mixed information I was getting months ago. Anything BEV, is not due until around then apparently either.

Like 2021 BEV/Gen 4 Teaser concept, the TNGA Tacoma will adopt the black roof treatment and not so much a panoramic roof.

Tim really needs to be careful, as you never know what you aren't supposed to discuss before embargo is over... The 2016 Tacoma was revealed at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, which I attended back then as a Jaguar Land Rover employee on January 12, 2015. I'm not sure what he's...

Thank you, I appreciate that, but it's not my original info. It's a synthesis of several people since April 4th, pointing towards mid-May for quite some time and most recently, mentions of May 16th, albeit between the lines and hard to find.

Ah, I'm understanding you better now and a quick relook at your channel, it all makes more sense, hence the username. The Tacoma is a byproduct of your interest, but it's not a core focus. Overlanding is! (Silly me)

I'm trying to be more responsible with my commentary on developments, but I'm personally convinced that reveal is Tuesday, May 16, 2023, ahead of the Thursday, June 1st HQ Confidential in Plano. I was clued into this by a kind user privately on the 12th and I missed that hint he gave me of mid-May.

Reveal is now being said to be Tuesday, May 16, 2023. Toyota should hopefully make an announcement on May 2nd on that. This information came from someone who clued me into this in an April 12, 2023 TW private message conversation (JT), which I unfortunately didn't take seriously enough. Then a...

I'm seeing a new date with Donlen and another fleet website of September 1, 2023 Start of Production for MY 2024. Donlen is usually in line with many of us OEMs, but I'm not certain if that means a moving forward of SOP and thus earlier launch in fall 2023. I've also seen November 1, 2023, but...

Eh, not exactly. That was the Toyota lady actually, not my "spouse" who is Ford personnel like me and directly a Tacoma competitor per assignment to T6 Fords. I work with "larger" and America's Numero Uno. Not many people at work know about my marriage anyway, to guard our private lives (some...

Hopefully the case with the Tacoma, that the volumes favor multiple configs. This is what allowed them to dominate the class in 2005. So many different combinations to choose from. Only Dodge (V8s, etc) and Nissan (long bed), offered as much variety, but the brand name allowed Toyota to take crown.

It's been pretty obvious to us since October 2021, that the truck got disc brakes. This stupid teaser is nothing special. Time to turn the tables on them lol. Toyota USA got uncomfortable when this was posted to one of their social media pages yesterday and actually deleted it off of...
