Good competition reduce price and drive innovation.

lol I'll bet they just throw some bigger tires and wheels on it maybe some graphics and think the fan boys will drool all over it. Unless they do a complete 180 overhaul it'll still be a TURD!?

It's pretty cool how Ford creates the Raptor, and the rest of the world goes "why didn't we think of that, we can make a better one though" as of yet nobody has come close.

Is holding your breath part of the sales plan?

Extra lettuce at best , they always stingy with the cheese...

except it is the Taco. They have charged a 5-10% premium for all Taco's for the last 10 plus years

you need actually comparable products to reduce price, Taco's can't compete.

No real comment on Toyota's move but down at the bottom of that page, there's a video of someone building a wooden Ranger! Really entertaining to watch ?

More hardcore than a real taco.

Appears the next generation taco may get a coil spring rear suspension. If true, Toyota may be carving out a new niche in the market.

I don't think I would agree that Toyota can't compete. Unless they have some serious incentive, they are slow to change. That is just the way they operate. Whether you like the Tacoma or not, they are still selling well and that keeps the senior management happy. Now if there was a steep decline in sales and the buyers went to the competition, I think we would see Toyota respond.

I have to turn on my VPN to open that article. But interesting anyway.

So basically a jeep sales model

Maybe the new Tacoma will come standard with a snorkel air intake. You will need it when you drive off the lot and find yourself underwater.

Honestly I was pretty happy with my Jeep (just didn't love it) and it ran a lot better than my Tacoma did. But yes the Jeep cult I think is much worse than the Taco cult.
