Toyota, yesterday, put out a press release about the 2023 Tacoma and its new trim packages. I wasn’t aware of this until just now which is why I’m posting it. I wasn’t sure if the 2023 was going to be the 4th gen or not, but now we know.

Spoiler: Not much is changing yet.

2023 Toyota Tacoma Adds New SR5 SX and Chrome Packages - Toyota USA Newsroom

PLANO, Texas (May 17, 2022) – The Toyota Tacoma once again leads the pack on road and trail into the 2023 model year, as America’s #1-selling mid-size pickup will grow to 17 years running. For 2023, Tacoma looks to add to its winning streak by offering two new packages for the SR5 grade.

Aw, man. I was hoping for much more than chrome wheels, blackout package for the SR5, and smartkey for lower trims. Am I the only one? I mean, I guess this is ok for a refresh but I'm not impressed at all. Those wanting some nicer features with a SR5 trim would get a bit out of this, though. I'll just have to wait another year for 4G...

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. I don’t know how realistic it was to expect it might be the 4th gen, as the 3rd gen isn’t that old yet. I was actually hoping it wasn’t the 4th gen because I wanted to make a 4th gen forum exactly like this one, but I’m not really able to put the time into that at the moment. So that’s good for me I guess. But yea, this is an underwhelming refresh. There are definitely some small things they could’ve done that would’ve been exciting, even to existing 3rd gen owners.

For sure it's too early for a 4th gen, but I can still hope! Of course it's a bit silly of me because I plan to drive this truck until the wheels fall off. I hadn't realized the 4Runner and Tundra had such long generations, though. Hey, this means there will be plenty of time for new cool things to be designed for 3G trucks before 4G comes around.

I'm a little disappointed to not see LED's at least... Toyota could've done a little better. Honestly, it's just like another 3rd gen from what I can tell at least with (I assume) better interior packages and all that..

I agree. Anything—even really minor—just to make us get a little hyped. But they didn’t, lol
 
I believe the new 4runner will be announced next year (2024 model change) and the tacoma the following year (2025 model change)
