Tacoma redesign?

[RTYPE!]

Does anybody know if the Tacoma is going to be redesigned in 2003 or 2004?I know the 4runner will be all new in 2003.

Good question. If the Yota is redesigned..it wont be drastic at all. I'll look around and find out if it is.

I think I can now answer my own question.Autoweek reports that the Tacoma will be redesigned for the 2004 model year.http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?p...3149230#toyota
The question now is when will the 04's come out?Six months from now or later?I wonder if they will debut them at the major auto shows in January?Anybody?

So I guess Toyota has no plans of putting the 4.7L V8 in the Tacoma as they did with the new 4Runner. Does anyone know if Toyota does plan on putting the V8 in there?

i wouldnt see the point in putting the V8 in the tacoma, considering you can get the Tundra in V8. The price for a V8 Tacoma would be too much towards the Tundra to be even worth it.

i really hope they don't get rid of the s-runner

Well, I ALMOST traded in my Tacoma for a new 4 Runner 2 weeks ago and was told by the sales manager that the new 4 Runner platform will be utilized in the next Tacoma. I guess that's chassis and drivetrain...

The Motor Portal has a 2004 Tacoma page....seems that they are making an attempt to track the progress! Link is

Guys,

I don't know but it seems that as fall is approaching (and yet there is not a clue about 2004) and the fact that tacoma will begin being assembled in Mexico for 2005, is leading me to believe that the redesign will be in 2005 not 2004.

THECARCONNECTION.COM is reporting that the new Tacoma will debut at the Chicago Auto show next month.Probably will look similar to the 4Runner.New trim package called Xrunner will appear.What do you think that will be?
