Toyota To Refresh Entire Truck Lineup - What Changes Would You Like To See?

Think about this for a second:

If you buy a 2018 Toyota Sequoia, you’re basically getting a 2008 Sequoia with some cosmetic changes.

This is one of those crazy-but-true factoids about buying a new car. While you’re getting a vehicle with zero miles and a fresh warranty, the design of the bits and pieces that make up the car are likely quite a few years old.

The Sequoia is an extreme example, but when Toyota has a combination that works, it’s not one to deviate much from the winning formula. That’s why today’s Sequoia is essentially the same brute that debuted in 2008.

There’s a similar story with the 4Runner, which sits on a chassis and runs on an engine from 2013, while the Tundra received its latest update in 2014.

New platforms??? The new Tacoma isn't really new under it. Lexus GX and LX are decades old at heart.

why fix it - if it ain't broken. 4runner, Tacoma still top performers! germans and American auto change all the time...because they build POS! Toyota is conservative...that doesn't go out of style~

Bad handling does and the Lexus GX is unsafe at any speed.

It will be interesting to see if Toyota does something with aluminium bodies or unibody construction or still on a frame. Great to have a 4Runer that does not rust anymore. The Tundra could further step up and gain a diesel engine, dually model, Heavy Duty model. Etc.
