2021 Tundra to share platform with Tacoma

Well this certainly is an interesting turn of events...

Better get the current gen now before armageddon.

 

What, is this real?

 

V8 swap in a tacoma, here we go!!!

 

As I understand it the Nissan Titan and Fronteir shares their frames.

 

That would be a no go for me unless it's sized in the middle of the two. Then I would have some interest. I'm 6'3'' and absolutely hate the seating position in the Tacoma. Not to mention the 11/2'' telescope of the wheel.

 

All our Tundra's resell price just went up!!

 

So glad I got a 2019

I cant think of a 10 speed transmission with key less start..

I am old and prefer a key.
It has big enough buttons on it so I dont have to take my gloves off every time I get in the truck.
A remote start would be good but I prefer one a little more custom with two way though and I doubt they would put that in one.

 

It is a no go for me if it is not the Tundra frame.

 

Those spy shots look like a cross between the current Tundra/Tacoma...

 

It’s important to understand what this means. A lot of people seem to think, If this is accurate, that it would be riding on the same exact chassis. It’s a modular platform that would have more than one iteration. Like the new global platform they are using for cars and CUV’s of various sizes. The Tundra would obviously use a larger version of it.

 

What he said ^....lot of car makers are going this way now, it makes the cars cheaper to build and cheaper to buy. I fully trust Toyota on this.
