I read on a financial website that Ford and the other US automakers may be a world of hurt for their decisions on Truck engines. Imports like Toyota have been really focusing on MPG where Ford and especially Dodge stink.
Analyst was speculating that truck import sales could really get a boost over the next few years where the big 3 US trucks prioritized in the wrong places and were at a disadvantage. It could take them a while to re-prioritize and re-design to catch up.
You can decide for yourself how relevant this analysts thoughts are. Generally I think the point is valid. This would suggest to me a Tacoma V8 is not in anyones future.
I would have waited for a Hybrid Tacoma if I thought one was coming. I got the impression not to expect one anytime soon so I took the plunge this year.
