It is very exciting to see
It is very exciting to see what is considered to be the most dependable fun loving mid sized truck in the US to be updated, especially considering the longevity of the current model/powertrain. I'm glad to hear they will not castrate the Taco to "match" the GM twins however it will be tough to bridge the gap between refinement and simplicity (which is what we love about our 4.0 tough trucks). With the baby Duramax around the corner one can only hope Yota will combat with a diesel of their own... but either way, who is ready to put $35k-$40k down on a diesel mid-sized (I'd say "right sized") truck especially when diesel is estimated to be well over $1/gallon in most areas for the next year? But, I do agree, no matter what the price is for diesel right now, when given the option I want the torque, longevity, MPG, and resale value of a diesel in my new truck, even if it does take 4-5 years to match the monetary amount of that of a gasoline option... Logical? No, Testosterone override? Yes.
