The 2020 Toyota Tacoma Promises Big Changes and You Will Like Them

I am still waiting to see when Toyota is going to add a diesel motor in the Tacoma to compete with the Chevy Colorado. They’ve been producing a diesel in the Toyota hilux for years in the third world edition . Are they ever going to produce it to be sold in the US market ?

What a sham. Cheap cosmetic and electrical Doo dads.. The new Jeep gladiator kicks Tacoma's butt. And this truck won't be as reliable as my 2003 taco. 16 years later and going in reverse.

Have a 2016 sport. Terribly GPS, have to use Google maps, dealer wants 260.00 for upgrade card. Still has cheap plastic front bumper and front plastic assembly. Poor gas mileage. Hope the 2025 improved. If the price climbs too high I will buy another Ranger. Had the last Ranger 14 years.

Big changes? Miles per gal on the 6-cyl is just bad. Reliable engine - great, but 18 per gal, in this age is dismal at best. These electronic upgrades are just cheap gizmos. Gimme the beef please and the center console sucks. The coffee cup arangement engineer should be crucified.

I hope they put softer more comfortable seats for longer distances

New grilles...Oh great so those of us who bought one 6 months ago are going to be driving the 'old model' already. I always hated that about toyota. They change grills too often leaving people driving the old model after a short period of time.

The only update I want to see is a regular cab version...

I have a 2016 TRD sport 4x4,love it just needs a more powerful motor.Is there anything I can do to beef up the motor

Will the interior of the 2020 Tacoma be bigger, front and back? These trucks r great but they r small inside and have never been that comfortable. We have a 2003 Tacoma TRD, not a 4wd, with 340,000 miles. No problems whatsoever. We just want to update in 2020.

SR is truly entry level in some ways. No keyless remote, no intermittent wiper. Embarrassing!

Why cant toyota have a manual shift for 4wd?the 4runner off road does.

All of these changes still don’t touch the ZR2 for competition. Tacoma is doomed to lose this for knowledgable off readers. Tacomas are mall crawlers, with no differential locks, and no diesel. The ZR2 multinational suspension is superior in all ways to the archaic springs and shocks on the Tacoma. Redesgning panoramic mirrors, etc, doesn’t cut it. Nice green colour though.

Will 2020 TRD pro come with disk brakes in rear? We have all been waiting for this

I would have settled for about 2-3” of headroom.

Once again, no major features. Vented seats, Larger engine, hybrid option? Come on Toyota, Ford is planning all electric.

Have 2013 long bed limited loaded black with 28k on it. It's going to the grave with me... especially if this is the way they are going...no leather in the new 2020 limited? Wasn't mentioned...how about a motorized rear window? Optional roof rack?

Why can’t I find a 4 cyl access cab in either 4x4 or 4x2? You can’t haul anything in the bed of a double cab yet the dealerships are flooded with double cab luxury Tacomas in the 34-45k price point. The sales managers and internet managers feed me a bunch of crap about nobody ask for the access cab anymore! Totally absurd! I’m talking about the Gulf States Toyota region. I’m tired of looking at luxury trucks. If I want luxury I’ll buy a Land Rover! If I want 4 doors I’ll buy a car. Just make improvements on the 4 cylinder engine and give me an aggressive look with black fender flares and mudguards. I purchased my 2013 Tacoma access cab new for 22,800 and I plan to keep it until the wheels fall off. I’m not impressed with the 3rd generation Tacoma with that 3 piece LEGO bumper and chrome colored plastic on the SR5 rear bumper. Is there any sheet metal on this truck at all?

Was looking to buy until i was completely disappointed with the toy engine.

The tacoma doesn't need fancy tweaks it needs a better engine and a more comfortable suspension that's it. Competitors are hitting the 300 hp/torque mark on v6 and 4 cyl. turbos. Should've kept the 4.0 and just tuned it to perfection. Better fuel economy and performance

I want to see a diesel in the Tacoma as well, one that we can use here on our USA roads to tow travel trailers, side by sides, etc. 2.8L seems a bit weak, how about something in a diesel with 250 hp and 450 ft lbs torque? That is what we need.

I think the Tacoma is a great truck (it's my dream vehicle). However, there are some changes that could make it even better. I think the 3.5 L v6 is a good engine, but I would like the power to increase to at least 300 hp (just like the engine I talked about for the 4Runner). I would also like to see a 3.0 L diesel engine come to the Tacoma, with at least 250 hp and 400 ft/bs of torque. I would also like a mild hybrid system and an 8 speed to go with them.

Do you know what I wish Tacoma had? TRD Pro in access cab! I mean, not everyone needs the larger back seat and other competitors (Chevy Colorado ZR2) have both configurations available. I would buy a TRD Pro access cab any day!
