kokesaat Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've been anxiously awaiting an update to the Vigo.......I'd like to cash in my 6.5yr old for a new model. I saw this today in a stateside paper......is it safe to assume 2015 will finally see a new generation Vigo?? http://www.mysanantonio.com/business/local/article/Toyota-unveils-redesigned-Tacoma-6009991.php#photo-7378535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The new Vigo launches this March...... but it has nothing to do with the Tacoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualbiker Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 No Big engine yet again. Nope, just new 2.2L and 2.8L diesels this time. Is that a cheaper tax band then .. the reason for decrease in CC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the current excise taxes, the decreased capacity make no difference at all - next year when it changes to a CO2 based system it might make a difference though - but that all depends on whether they get under 200gm/km. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcopops Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The Hilux in US was replaced by the tacoma. Essentially they have a different frame — the Vigo continues on a Hilux type frame the Tacoma has a Prado type. However as a Toyota they share all sorts of parts and components with each other. The Vigo and the hilux are classified as "mid-size" pick ups. In Thailand the engine options on the Vigo (Hilux) are limited to 3 litres or less, whereas in many other countries the 4 litre is offered similar to that of the Tacoma. Styling is from Toyota and although I don't think they share a single panel in common (could check the windscreens?0 they DO share the same corporate image. Toyota US will also give a higher spec in accessories , etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until some journo somewhere gets a Toyota exec or engineer to spill the beans, it's all just rumors & speculation though Edited January 16, 2015 by IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
