Will the Tacoma get the new 4.0L V6?
My wife wants a new Tacoma double cab in the near future. I am probably going to sell our Camry and get one in 1 to 1 1/2 years. Does anyone know if Toyota is planning on putting the 2003 4Runner's 4.0L V6 into the Tacoma. The increased power would be a reason enough for me to wait.

I am awaiting some more information on the new 04 Tacoma as I will be looking to purchase a truck in October. I have also heard of the 4.0l and the 4.7l as well as the longer bed. Also heard it will be larger than current ( I assume along the lines of the 03 Runner). Can't wait for the pics. They can leave the grey plastic off.

I have heard that the new tacoma will no longer be classified as a compact truck. It will be biult on a much larger frame. Possibly the 4Runner but the article did not say. I t did not say anything about engines but there will be the same choices in body configurations as now.

It's going to change for 2004
I was recently informed by a dealership employee that if you like the current Tacoma platform for off-road use, that you better get one before they change it. As mentioned, it is going to become a bulkier truck, and I got the impression it is going the way of more street - less offroad. I hope I'm wrong!

Well I may wait for Toyota to start building the new tacoma, and then buy the "older style" at a discounted price.
Just before the new 4Runners came to Utah, the local dealers were discounting 2002 4Runners 5k.

i may be alone on this but i love the short bed of the quad cabs.
for example the nissan 4 door frontiers look hideous with the long bed they just look absurdly long. i like the short ones much better.
