How would you redesign the next Tacoma?

[taco rain 87]

I'm sure there's a lot that can be changed, but I like the simplicity of the Tacoma compared to other trucks with "standard luxury". However, I would like to see them expand on the bed utilization. I'd like to see more fixed tie downs in the bed, mine only has the two near the tailgate, not enough in my book.
Also, tougher springs in the rear. I feel they sag easily under a moderate load

EXACTLY! This....this right here. Listen to him Toyota

The cats themselves aren't but you can get long tubes and a catless Y pipe and just swap the stock stuff back in when emission time comes around.

do we have 3 or 2 cats?

Can you pass emissions with 2? And will that make it LOUDER?

Removing any emissions equipment is an automatic fail. Just run the pipe into the cab and it will be super bro loud.

How loud do you want it? Don't you already have a Flowmaster 10 series? You need the V8 mod.

Loud as I can make it. And v8 mod? Is that putting in a v8 Bc I'm not doing that.

Why make a V6 that loud? I'm sorry but mine with the Flowmaster 10 is about all I can take. Any louder and these engines get really raspy and broke down POS sounding. That's why I mentioned the V8 mod as a joke because they actually sound good loud.

 

[Thewarriordinghy]

I want it to be loud when cruising not just accelerating...

 

[whippersnapper02]

So annoyingly loud? Just dump after the cat or play engine sound CDs in the cab.

 

[TacoJoe11]

Straight headers...nothing else.

No.

Depends on if your state requires a tailpipe or not.

I THINK Gwinnett county Georgia does... some counties don't have emissions here (lucky ones). my uncle mentioned something about you had to have a muffler
