I'm going to wait for Ford to release dimensions for comparison.

I bet you a Five Guys burger that the great Andrew Collins from world-renowned news source Jalopnik did not contact Ford to verify if the exterior dimensions listed include mirrors before publishing his thoroughly researched article.

It has got to be. there's no reason for the truck to be that wide...completely defeats the purpose of the midsizer.

Though, those fenders are quite flared compared to stock...it's possible it's a legit wide betch.

Also, TRD Pro info released: https://www.tfltruck.com/2018/02/2019-t ... ges-video/

Big update is the Bilsteins go away in favor of Fox shox, and of course, dat desert air intake, doe.

But check out the stacked fake scoop action!

Toyota needs to step it up a bit.

Did some more digging on width:
Track width is 3" wider than standard Ranger, total track width is 67.3, sans mirrors. Source: TFLTruck.com - https://www.tfltruck.com/2018/02/2019-f ... -official/

For comparison purposes:
F-150 Raptor: 73.9"
Colorado ZR2: 65.9"
TRD Pro Taco: 64.2"
Pro-4X Frontier: 61.8"

Look at how the fenders and flares stick out...it's possible that it's pushing 75" of overall width.

Wow.

Impulse bought a fridge at Sears Outlet last night. The thing is exactly what we wanted with only some dents on the side (that our cabinets cover) and half off...saved $1,500 on this thing. Had to take it pretty much on the spot because sears outlet.

Man, I really wish I had an SUV to jam this thing into. Bust up some interior panels, rip the carpet, and drive home with the tailgate flapping the breeze. What a worthless thing I have.

So wasteful. We are such morans.

Oh wow, the idiocy is spreading. Should have rammed that shit in an SUV ZFG.

I don't know guise. that stuff would have fit in a MK6 and the hatch would still close.

Right? I'm really surprised Toyota isn't trying a bit harder...especially with Ranger and Jeep coming fast. Their dominance of the segment will end faster than they expect.

You probably know better than me but isn’t the average taco buyer different from the average F150 buyer they won’t even cross shop the brands even.
It seems that once someone is doing tacos that’s all they’ll do till the end of time. Super high brand loyalty there.

Also I still disagree with whole taco is shit mentality. It had some minor issues at the beginning but it seems to be doing just fine, and ppl like em.

People are generally brand loyal in pickup segments...but with these radical new entries increasing and Toyota doing nothing really, it's going to make even loyalists start to look around a bit. They've dominated for so long because they were the only solid game in town. That's not the case anymore. Other companies are making some fantastic products that rival and in many ways beat the Taco.

Nah, I know a guy who bought a TRD Offroad with the auto and hated the transmission behavior.

Ended up trading it on a 4Runner TRD Pro.

Isn't that just the same thing?

4.0 V6 and 5-speed auto vs 3.5 car V6 and 6-speed auto.

The older combo is less focused on hunting for fuel economy.

Oh, interesting. I figured they updated the 4Runner by now.

No point, sales are up 10-20% and that thing dates back to 2003 with the powertrain combo. 15 mother fking years old powertrain.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

What's weird is that my has a car 3.6 and an 8-speed, but it never hunts for gear. It needs some generous throttle application to downshift, but otherwise it's great, even in the offroad, etc. I'm surprised Toyota couldn't figure it out.

It even outdates the Bro Forks in powertrain dinosaur-ness.

If it ain't broke, don't fucking fix it.

Seems to be the case.

I dunno I think that 5 speed auto is outdated for 2018. I think the 3.6 Penta +8ZF is the perfect blend of old and new. No, DI, no fancy valve bullshit that does nothing, no slushbox holding it back. that combo will run forever and return the same MPG as a 2.0 turbo that will grenade well before 100k and require premium.
