When the 2012 Toyota Tacoma unofficially made its debut just a few weeks ago, showing its new face and front end on the internet, readers on our sister site PickupTrucks.com responded loudly to the new styling. We expect to hear more, now that we’ve seen more.
The redesigned hood, grille and bumpers give the new Tacoma a more stylized "swooping" face, says Mark Williams at PickupTrucks.com. And when combined with the new headlights and housings, it’s clear that Toyota engineers are looking for a new look. (In fact, it wouldn’t surprise us a bit if this 2012 Toyota Tacoma is the test bed for a more expressive Tundra design language.) Pricing has not been announced yet, but don’t expect much change. Look for more information, details and driving impressions as we get closer to the new Tacoma’s production date.
