I love my 2005 Tacoma.... Do not know of any TSB's, might want to check Tundra Solutions though.

I heard of one. It's too big, and a real shame that it won't make a good trail-rig. Bummer. However, if you like it, then that's all that matters and this TSB can be ignored.

Isn't that Taco sized somewhere between the old mini-pickup and a fullsize? Seems like a good tradeoff. I think what Rngrchad was saying was that it is substantially larger than the older Toyotas, which, even with their small size, are very large on a tight trail. But it is a Toyota, so it'll do great off-road, just not as good in the tight spots.

Sorry about getting all fired up about my previous post stating that the new tacos won't make good trail rigs. What do I know about them? Nothing really. I looked at the 4th gens during the Detroit auto show for the first time and felt kind of "let down" by the fact they have gotten so much larger. I guess Toyota knows what's best and the fact is there is more market for a truck that fits familes w/ 2 kids and a dog. That means the traditional 3rd gen taco must RIP as a result of its inferior amount of interior room.
It'll grow on me and when I'm married w/ kids I'll be all about the 4th gens

I could totally be wrong, but I thought the new Taco's weren't dimensionally all that much bigger, like only a couple inches here and there. I totally agree that they look a lot bigger. Especially the nose. I dunno, anyone got any facts?

Almost all manufacturer TSB's are posted on Alldata. The new Tacoma has a few of an advisory nature, instructing dealers about maintenance or repair procedures, none are required services. For comparison, the links below show TSB's for the 2005 Tacoma 4X4 V-6 vs. the Chevrolet "equivalent".
