When is the tacoma getting redesigned

This means the new Tacoma, 4Runner, Hilux, and Fortuner will also share the same ladder frame, suspension setup, and some engine options. Since they will also share the same electrical architecture, the new Tacoma and 4Runner will get significant tech upgrades including new infotainment systems, driving assists, and safety tech.

It remains to be seen when these changes will happen, but let's hope it happens sooner rather than later because the Tacoma and 4Runner are overdue for a redesign.

The TNGA platform that the all-new Tundra will sit on will likely be seen as the foundation for future models as well. The Toyota Tacoma, Sequoia, and 4Runner could all benefit from whatever new tech redesigned Tundra puts out. However, Toyota is notorious for keeping things under wraps until the actual release dates of new models.

A V8 is virtually impossible. It'll likely still be offered in extended-cab and crew-cab body styles with various bed lengths. Rumors suggest the new Tacoma could use a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and it would need to be an improvement over the current Tacoma's optional 3. A candidate could be the new 2. A hybrid version of this powertrain could be available, too, as Toyota is offering a hybrid version of the new Tundra.

And Toyota claims it will have an electrified version of every model in its lineup by An automatic transmission will be standard, but we think and hope that Toyota will continue to offer a manual gearbox in the new Tacoma SavetheManuals.

As with the new Tundra, the Tacoma's cabin will be better equipped than the current generation, with nicer materials throughout. The current-gen Tacoma debuted in , which makes it the youngest of the Toyota off-roaders; hat means it may be the last one that gets an overhaul. Reports about Toyota product planning suggest that the Tacoma will debut in after the Tundra this year , the new Sequoia in and the next 4Runner in Toyota has announced that every Toyota and Lexus model — except the hydrogen-powered Mirai — will have at least an electrified option by at the latest.

If we accept that Toyota doesn't plan to kill off the Tacoma which would be a shocker, since it's one of their most successful cars in America , we can presume it will have at least a hybrid powertrain option. It's possible the hybrid could be the only option, even. And we'd expect the hybrid will be the more powerful engine choice, given that's the case with the new Tundra's I-Force Max powerplant.

Toyota announced it will build an electric pickup truck , but there has been no clarification yet about whether it will be a Tundra or Tacoma or a new truck altogether. Almost undoubtedly. The major knock on the current generation Tacoma is the dated six-speed automatic; the Tacoma's midsize competitors all feature an eight-, nine- or speed automatic transmission.

Moving to one would offer benefits Toyota will be looking for in performance and fuel economy.
