The #ToyotaTacoma has long been the best-selling midsize truck in America over the last few years. As the segment continue to gain more popularity, newcomers from Jeep and Ford are looking to steal some sales away from Toyota which is why for 2020, the #Tacoma and #TacomaTRDPRO get minor, but effective changes to the outside and inside.Tech focused buyers will appreciate the new 8" touch-screen head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a new 10-way power drivers seat, while the exterior gets a fresh look with available full LED headlights for the first time. #TRDPro #Toyota

[@theredline]

Trying to decide between a 2020 4Runner TRD Pro and 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro? Stay tuned for a comparison between those two trucks which should go live later this month. We also wanted to clarify two things: the towing capability and the snorkel... the truck in this video actually tows a maximum of 6,400 lbs, not 5,000 pounds and Toyota says the snorkel is mostly designed for the engine not to suck up dust and sand when you're going fast along those dirt roads and not necessarily for diving through some deep water. Do you guys think Toyota has made enough changes to the Tacoma for 2020 to keep it competitive?

[@theburgermeister7214]

Yes the Tacoma is the best on the market. I work at a Toyota dealer even these things used with 55,000 miles still go for $32000 the reliability is unreal and so is the resale value. Its simple but very clean looking and easy to use everything in the truck

[@kevs2good133]

So Toyota gave us a functional snorkel yay

[@P_double_H]

@@kevs2good133 What do you want that for if you can't sink the truck in water?

[@TLFIN]

They recommend in snow that the snorkel should be turned around not in ingest water going down the road. To answer your question I think Tacoma is way too expensive when you can get other brands with better tech and mpg's. Eventually Toyota will need to develop a more efficient engine for better mpg's to compete. I personally own a 2019 Tacoma and wish I still had my 2012 Frontier.

The snorkel actually isn't for water, it's for minimizing dust intake when you're off-roading.

[@gs98999]

D LG is right. Toyota specified this isn't for water fording. It is just a cold air intake and secondary benefit is clener air when running in dusty conditions.
