Can't honestly say that I like it yet. Seems soo Tundra-ish. Maybe I'm sticking to the new"old school"

Excellent!

Is this a 4x4? Doesn't quite look like one.

Thanks for sharing!

I'm not a big fan of the front fender flare, but it looks a lot better than I was expecting. I think it will probably grow on me like the 4th Gen 4Runner did.

I like it too.

However it seems bigger. too big.
If they make it too big, why not just get a tundra.
For me, my Taco is as big as I want.

I agree wih Pawk. It looks big, too big! It kinda looks like a Tundra with a 4Runner grill and Chevy Colorado wheel arches! It even has the Colorado style PU tailight treatment on the sides.

I guess Toyota is abandoning the true "compact-sized" truck market for the USA.

Yikes! You could practically fit my '88 mini in the bed of that new thing.

Yeah it looks too big...If I want full-size I'll buy full-size. Im not gonna buy a under-powered "almost" fullsize. It looks like everyother truck now...Good thing I wasn't looking to get one. Im sure Ill get used to it, just kinda disappointed.

Wow thanks FirstToy I didn't expect a response, but I just can't get myself to like the front grill and headlights


Dear God where has the plain yet aggressive mid to late 90's designs went?

oooooooooo, pretty.....

look like a T3 Tundra.

As I said, the lines of the headlights would be simplified (revelling in my genius).

I like it, but those fenders suck. What's up with the way the front bumper blends into the front fenders? Or is that just an optical illusion. << I didn't see that grey Photo-shop jobbie when I posted that..

[Btw, a friend of mine (who lurks here) thinks it looks, in his words, "It's hideous!!"]
