I like that Toyota is offering a 2-door extra cab in a basic work truck configuration. Unfortunately, the base price has skyrocketed about 4, 000 over the outgoing model and it's gotten technically more complicated. It's also unfortunate that the extra cab isn't an access cab with clamshell doors. As Alex illustrated, lifting bulky, heavy, or long items in and out is going to be an inconvenience. If I had to go out and buy a new midsize truck right now, it would likely be the Nissan Frontier. It comes standard with a naturally aspirated 3. 8L V6 and a lower starting price. I also think it's a better-looking truck.

Alex, Is it the ultimate irony that Toyota chooses to flex its muscle in the mid-size segment by offering 2 door work trucks? The naturally aspirated, 2. 7 liter 4 cylinder 2TR-FE slug engine from the previous two generations of Tacoma is a legend. Let's give it a decade or two to see how the new turbo generation compares. After all, it is a work truck not a sports car.

Engine looks like a Ford 2. 3 wires and hoses everywhere. They could have done a better job in there come on Toyota let's clean that up. The Ridgeline I don't believe really competes with this that's a different buyer. The nissan frontier for be a nicer looking more affordable and offers a V6 and I think the interior is more than comparable.

I remember my old S10 that had a side door and jump seat. Cost a whole lot less than this expensive piece of steel and plastic. Why can't we get that from Toyota, a real back to basics vehicle. Import it from either Mexico or Brazil.

I just don t think this exterior design looks good. It looks goofy and childish to me, even more Yoshi from Mario Kart than the Tundra. I feel as though design is yet again not a reason to purchase a Taco!

If the SR engine is just a detuned version of the higher trim level engines (which is something Toyota likes to do for reliability) then it's the truck to buy. That thing should run forever.

Hopefully that seat IS improved, that was the main point of discontent for me with a Tacoma. Not much sense in buying a good looking truck only to have back aches after a drive in one.

A base Maverick hybrid is a killer work truck for the efficiency and 24k price. I've been seeing a lot more small businesses and utilities guys driving them around.

Xtra cab (regardless of trim) has the leaf spring setup right? Shame as a TRD Sport Xtra Cab 6 speed manual would be pretty sweet.

Toyota sure doesn't want you to forget that you have a 'TACOMA' according to the abundance of that model name almost EVERYWHERE!
