And what will the redesigned Tacoma offer to his fans? Among the changes you will find a a fresh interior, a redesigned exterior and an enhanced entertainment system. As for powertrain, the engine and chassis will remain unchanged, which seems to be a wise decision considering that the Tacoma is the best-selling compact pickup in America.
As Bob Carter, Group VP and Brand Manager, Toyota was saying about the Tacoma, "It's an important segment for us because it provides us with young customers."1 While two American competitors have stopped investing in the compact pickup segment, Carter thinks it may experience a strong comeback if oil and gas prices continue to rise. In fact, the Japanese automaker reports that for the first half of 2011, they sold more Tacoma pickups than they did larger, full-sized Tundra pickups.
