Cryptic Tacoma press photos

Here's How The 2016 Toyota Tacoma Looks Off-Road

You all seem much better suited to the task of figuring out if anything interesting is given away in some of the press photos. Anything of note underneath? How about in the flex? Improved bodywork maybe?

And odds that these differences make it onto the 2016 T4R....

Looks more or less the same to me, maybe an even lower cross over pipe and transfer case

I'm so confused on why Toyota crosses under the TC instead of behind it. Can anyone explain this?

Looks like Holstein 4600's and cruddy skids!

It's going to take a shit ton of plastidip to erase those T A C O M A letters stamped in the tailgate.

Cool link with video from that page about the Tacoma crawl control and rear drum brakes.

I'm going to guess ease of assembly, heat near the electronics of the tcase, and/or driveshaft clearance.

Maybe it's the perspective in those pics, but that thing looks long. Breakover angle has to suck. Full specs are not supposed to be out until the 17th.

I've recently seen one of these in person and they are awesome looking. The interior revamp is the best part.

Black plastic trim returns, maybe 2016 Trail will get, me likey.

The red one is a DCLB so it's pretty long, the Inferno is a DCSB. I think it's interesting that they are making the TRDOR in a DCLB. I kinda like the TRDOR wheels.

 

[Crusifix]

Not feeling it.

Front end especially grille looks meh.

I'd buy one if it wasn't an unproven engine and I had $35k laying around...
