2021 Redesign?

[EmpyreOffroad]

I know it's really early in the game, but is there anything out there yet suggesting that there will be a complete redesign in 2021?
My 16 is starting to give me some problems and I'm considering moving into a 2020, but would be willing to wait a year if there will be a full redesign.

 

[Dreed]

Curious what problems are you experiencing with your 16?

 

[Pinion]

Me too, been weary of impending issues

I would assume not in terms of the 4th gen Tacoma releasing, but perhaps a small cosmetic design to the front end or something like the 2nd gen had.

I dunno, the 2020 was a refresh of sorts. I can't see them doing something more aggressive the year after. Then again there are a LOT more competitors every day. Anyone looking at buying a triangle?

 

[Mr. Nobody]

I highly doubt it. I haven't seen any kind of 4th gen spy photos or anything, just rumors of what it could have. Also look at the lifespan of the second gen. Toyota milked that thing for a decade.

Excellent points

I doubt the Tacoma is getting another redesign before the Tundra. The Tundra has been on gen. 2, since what? 07? The Tacoma seems to get one every 10 years (so much data with 3 gens lol), so I'd guess 2026, give or take a year.

I. Just want the 4.0 back

It'd be nice, but it'll never happen. They'll more likely go to a hybrid.

Or turbo

Or turbo

That'd be nice to.

I want a solid front axle from the factory. ?

Definitely would make things interesting, but never going to happen.

I thought Tacoma and tundra were going to a shared platform. And I have seen reports of new tundra design. But if that’s 21, I’d guess the Tacoma wouldn’t adopt the change until the following year at best. Even that seems a little fast moving for Toyota.

The shared platform is the rumor. No idea when it'll happen though.

What is the shared platform rumor supposed to entail?

 

[CampWithDad]

If it'll just have a little more "get-up-and-go" I'll be happy. Maybe a bit more room inside, otherwise my next truck may be the Tundra or another full size.

What is the shared platform rumor supposed to entail?

It's all speculation at this point. Probably something along the lines of their "Toyota New Global Architecture" that they use on the RAV4, Corolla, Camry and Avalon. Shared platform helps save money, reduces production time and sometimes parts are interchangeable between models. But nothing has been said about it since April

Supposedly the Tundra and Tacoma will share the same frame/undercarriage. No real substantial word on what truck will get what kind of motor, but there's rumors of hybrid motors and or turbos.

The Tundra should be heavier duty in my opinion. Otherwise it would just become a larger Tacoma with a different looking body.

Screw it, Hybrid Twin Turbo. Call it the Tacoma/Tundra TRD Supra Pro

I had a 2017 tundra and same shifting issues, it’s a big truck so I went to the taco

I didn’t know the Tundra was like that too. Hmm.

Comparing the two, which feels like it has more power/is generally faster on acceleration? Or is the Tundra a dog like the Taco?

Toyota to offer electric powertrain on pickups by 2025

Toyota says that by 2025 it hopes to make available electrified powertrain options on all Toyota and Lexus models. Though no models were specifically named, I confirmed with the automaker that its plans for electrification include its pickup trucks. Toyota writes in its press release that “the...

If there is any truth to this I'd say nothing major till 2025. Maybe a 4cyl turbo for fuel efficiency.

 

[Pinion]

I found the tundra to be a bit of a dog, and has the same shifting issues as taco

4th gen tacoma would be around 2026
It will most likely be a hybrid engine from there Lexus line
Toyota seems fully done with turbos and superchargers very unlikely will we see that in the future

Tacoma shares a platform with the 4runner as the tundra shares with a sequoia
I doubt they would cross them
Tundras are gas guzzling dogs and I'm very excited to see the new hybrid come out

Would hate to see a 4th gen Tacoma or major redesign in the next couple of years. But I'm biased since I just bought 19 lol

Honestly Toyota trucks & SUVs longer generations are kinda their thing, and I like that because they typically get it right. Unlike others (Chevrolet )

I agree and it has nothing to do with this being a 3rd gen specific forum.

Also, yes, the new Chevy designs are .

If and when they goto a 325hp V6 I'm in for sure
