2015 year to date, the GM twins have sold 452,860 while the Tacoma has sold 105,834 - please do detail how the Tundra is going to more than quadruple it's sales when it has never sold more than 200,000 in one year in the past 15 years.

I think I see where the confusion is. You mention Tundra and Tacoma in the same sentence.

GM twins (Canyon/Colorado) have sold 66,455 YTD. Compared to 105,834 for Tacoma, so I think it's safe to assume the new version will continue to dominate the market.

I was pretty seriously considering one. However Toyota in their infinite wisdom is not offering a DCSB w/ A/T. So it looks like I'll be driving this one till the wheels fall off.

That's odd? By the time you put the long box on a double cab the thing is pretty much the same size as a half ton. Part of the appeal of a mid-size truck like this is the smaller footprint. I can only assume that past sales figures drove this decision.

Nobody can figure it out. There's a couple models available in the States we won't get, and even a config we get that the States doesn't. I find it hard to believe the demand for these trucks differs that much between countries.

I have a DCSB A/T that was imported, someone leaves a note on it weekly asking if I'd sell it. On the rare occasion its at the dealer pretty much every service advisor, a handful of sales guys and techs ask if I'd sell because they or someone they know would be interested. Mine is the Off-road model, so double cab, short box, rear locker, auto tranny.

[J.M.]

My neighbour has a DCSB Taco with the TRD package and auto tranny I believe. Guessing it's imported from the U.S.?

I've always wondered why Toyota never brought the short box with auto tranny here, I'd like one in the future haha

[JRSC00LUDE]

I assume it's just wanted for better off-road prowess as I was so relieved to be out of a 5' box and into a 6' with my new Tacoma. That 5' box on my old vehicle was fucking useless lol, it's amazing what a foot can do!

IIRC they didn't have that here for the last gen, either. Really not sure why...

[rx7_turbo2]

The DCSB has always been manual only here. You can get an Access cab short box.

As for the 5' vs 6' box. Off-road capability is part of it. I prefer the look of the short box as well. To be honest I don't drive ours much, my wife does. She had the chance to drive a long box Tacoma for a week and said the extra length made it more cumbersome for her to park and shit.

Strangely enough you can't get the off-road model, double cab in a long box up here either.

You and a shit ton of other people.

3 out of the 8 configurations offered are 4cyl, is there really that much demand for it? I can't believe it's even offered, it's a dinosaur, I think it gets the same or worse gas mileage as the new V6, and makes half the power

The configurations offered in the 2nd generation didn't make a lot of sense, but the general consensus was Toyota Canada would change that with the new model. Guess not.

[schocker]

^^There was a good article about the 4cyl
http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/the-4-...ess-1724669002

That’s right, the 2.7-liter four-cylinder has less than half the horsepower of the new 3.5-liter V6 and can only beat it by 2 MPG at most and the bigger engine has the top efficiency spec. Wanna spreadsheet this sucker? Take a look up close, any positive numbers on the far right column indicates the four cylinder does better. As you can see, it’s slim pickin’s:

I like this truck but still don't get the drum brakes as a 'feature'

When it comes to what's being offered to Canadians for 2016 there's a lot to shake your head at. The drum brakes don't bother me, 4 wheel disks would be overkill, that being said I wouldn't advertise them as a "feature" lol.

[msommers]

Jeez. What a disappointment Toyota. If you're gonna go retro, go all the way.

Ditto for our 2014 haha

[rx7_turbo2]

Yup, mines an 05 and it looks like I'll have it for awhile longer.

[blownz]

Is anyone else disappointed that after 10 years this is the best they could do?

I guess there hasn't been much competition so why bother but still. Although the more I think about it, most Toyota products aren't really competitive or have good specs, but they sell well to people that only care about reliability...
