I hear an ugly rumor that the 2005 Tacoma will only be available with a
If so I don't understand why Toyota is abandoning the economy market. I wonder it the recent upturn in gas prices will make them rethink that decision.
Is the 4 cylinder dead?
Don't know if the 4 cylinder is dead yet, but I assume it will be after speaking to the dealership Friday. The sales manager told me that the 2005 Tacoma will be the size of a Tundra, and the Tundra will be bigger yet. He also stated that the Tundra will soon have diesel and duelies available.
Methinks that Toyota is trying to aggressively target the domestic buyers, while alienating the current crowd of loyal Tacoma owners. IMHO, I think that it is a dumb move on Toyota's part.

The new Taco is 4" wider in the track and 5" longer in the wheelbase. That's hardly the size of a Tundra. I very seriously doubt the 4 banger is going away, I bet it'll still be standard on the regular cab. I'm sure you can find out in the Toyota website. God, how do you guys start and believe these stupid rumors?
Not, "you guys," but:

Hey, if you can't trust a sales manager, who can you trust??? :>))
On Sun, 06 Jun 2004 09:40:14 -0700, TOM found these unused words floating about:
Oh ... you mean a sales mangler who accepts an order then weeks later says "You have to add ... to get the vehicle." (Quickly Desert'd)
-or-
A sales mangler who shows, 'sells' one vehicle, then tries to deliver another when you go to pay & pick-up - different color even - and higher priced yet again! (You could Find Lays here!)
I stand corrected regarding the 4 cylinder. Click the link for the info
Once again I stand corrected. However, the preliminary specs for the 2005 Tacoma X-Runner are just a hair shy of the 2004 Tundra reg cab.
See for yourself.

I have an '88 Toyota pickup and like the size. It looks like the Taco is pretty close to that size, larger, I'p sure, but still, pretty close. I wouldn't want anything too much larger. Actually, I don't need anything any larger, but that may be academic if the smallest trucl is larger than I need, I guess I'll get used to a bigger truck. I darn sure won't switch brands, not after the service I've had out of my present truck, which I bought new in Feb 1988.
This whole thing could be an exercise in picking pepper out of chicken poop for all we really know at this point...
