2016 Toyota Tacoma Video Review - PickupTrucks.com
In the auto manufacture world, new means anything that is revised more than just headlight, grill and tail lights is new. It is evident Mark don't like toyota and phrases ford. It was obvious from day one when he tool over after Mike left to ford. This is Marks opportunity to shine in ford eyes and hopefully get a job at ford. 04 F-150 was new, 09 F-150 was major upgrade, 15 was new. Pro-Toyota guys are too sensitive and hate Ford so this explains their hatred for anything Ford. But Toyota trucks, even though they have their followers (oxi) will never get the praise Ford does because Toyota still does not understand truck buyers. It is not a new truck but that is Toyota's style. After the launch of the 2nd Gen Tundra which was a big difference from the 1st Gen Tundra done all at once they decided to make incremental changes instead all at once. By making incremental changes every little change added every year keeps it fresher. Take the 14 Tundra it got new safety tech, exterior and interior. Now the 16 Tundra will get new colors for TRD Pro, the larger fuel tank option and ITBC option for the 5. 7L. The 17 Tundra could follow the 2016 5. 7L Lexus LX 570 and gain the 8-speed auto. When manufactures make changes every year they are considered design changes even if they are small ones. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
