Here is a link to what might be the 2012 Taco. I think a lot of people have been hoping that there might be a new model soon, since the current model is 7 years old now. If this really is the new one, all that I can see that changed is the front end.

doesn't look enough different to matter, to me. Do like the front skid plate if it is heavy duty enough plastic. I just bought my '11 and really like it. would be a little diasppointing if they bring in the 260hp V-6. though it only gives 1mpg better than the current engine. I don't want the 6 speed, however. That was one reason i traded my Tundra.

The front reminds of Mater from Cars.
