New Tacomas are out

This is my favorite auto channel, even if Jack can be a d-bag sometimes. Lead engineer is interviewed here.

It's about the size of a 1st generation RC / AC Tundra... this tells me that the new STOUT will be about the size of an older smaller Tacoma

Is the Stout really going to happen?

How does Toyota keep making the Tacoma bigger on the outside and smaller in the inside? Always feel claustrophobic in the few I've been in.

All that thing is missing is the RAM emblem across the front. Looks about like one of those ugly Stellantis creations.

Yes, the Stout is going to happen... I am interested in the Hybrid version, but I would want a regular or extra cab long bed. My mom drives an '05 PreRunner V6 Tacoma, it's a very nice truck that she loves but it is claustrophobic for me.

Both of my Yotas are V8. My Honda is a V6....Im sticking with what I got

Toyota used to make a good looking truck. Although it's not horrible looking. I still don't like plastic bumpers on a truck

I’m going to be due for a new truck very soon. I daily drive a ‘02 Tacoma Prerunner double cab (bought it new in ‘02). It has been fantastic, but asking a 21 year old truck with 270k miles to be a daily driver is a tall ask.

I guess I’m old school. Turbo charged 4 cylinder engines concern me greatly.

Mine has tons of room on the inside, reminds me of how big my dodge was on the inside.

No matter new model or not, I’m not spending squat on a vehicle, especially at todays prices!!!

I'd say....non turbo diesels always have had a much higher compression ratio (22:1), making a thick rigid iron block a must to withstand the pressures.

Adding a turbo makes it even harder on the engine, so that's why the manufacturers dial back the compression ratio a bit. The new Cummins 6.7L are in the range of 16:1 or 19.1.

I couldn't agree more. When you add boost at pressures they are to make the numbers look better, you have to lower compression. Prime example on why aluminum motors can't handle the pressure.

Back in the day, any vehicle that had a turbo had an iron block. The L18 is a perfect motor for boost even at 760lb.
