    Toyota Tundra and Tacoma to Share Platform

      ...a new modular global platform to underpin both..

    According to an article in Automotive News, Toyota plans to move the Tundra and Tacoma to a shared platform, internally called "F1".  The platform is to be used globally and will require a bit of modularity.  The platform is said to be nearing completion and the next Tundra could be debuting for the 2021 model year. 

    The Tacoma will likely join later as it was redesigned in 2015 and given a refresh for 2020 at the Chicago Auto Show along with a bunch of other TRD models like the Sequoia TRD Pro. 

    For US consumption, all Tundras and most Tacomas are built at the company's San Antonio, Texas plant. Moving to a single platform would make things easier and cheaper on Toyota.   But what of the other SUVs built on the same platforms?   The Sequoia is largely based on the Tundra and the 4Runner is related (distantly) to the Tacoma.  Those vehicles would likely be refreshed right behind the trucks.  In any case, Toyota is planning on putting some electrification into the new platform.

      Very cool, seems Chinese EVs are here being compared by American companies so that hopefully we do not fall too far behind. A Xiaomi EV was spotted in America, and a US maker might be behind it

Canadians need not be a money mine for any american tourist site or area!!! trump and many maga a&&hol3s want to make Canada an enemy and actually want to occupy Canada. Many other americans are phoquing clueless to  trump's bullshyte!!!   Phoque that!!! There are only a hair above 40 million Canadians. There are a hair below 350 million americans.  trump said and continues to say that he and the usa does not need anything Canadian.  So phoque trump and phoque the usa!!!  Let americans visit and tourist las vegas and any other american area.  desantis who says continually "who needs Canadians?" and he FALSELY claimed last December  that florida had record breaking visitors mocking Canada's boycott to florida!!! Like I said...fix your OWN shyte!!!  Let the mayor of las vegas strike up a deal and pour marketing money INTO florida begging floridians to visit las vegas.  There are a hair below 25 million a&&hol3s in florida. floridians could visit las vegas!!!  And las vegans and nevadans could return the favour and visit Disney...  In fact, all of america could visit there OWN phoquing country and do their own phoquing tourist vacations within their OWN phoquing dumb a$$ country!!! Canada and Canadians NEED to stay the PHOQUE away from shytty usa!!!  Get killed by an ice agent?  Phoque off!!! Get accosted by a border agent???  Phoque off!!! Get robbed by a desperate down and out american loser because he voted for trump and trump phoqued him?  Phoque off!!!  But you know what the REAL sad news is about this whole shyte???!!!   https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/southern-alberta-mustangs-collision-9.7071643   Rest in Peace 3 Southern Alberta Mustang junior hockey players died in a car crash yesterday afternoon. 2 were from British Columbia and the other boy from Birmingham Alabama.  ALABAMA... The kid was from Alabama playing hockey. In CANADA!!!  And the reverse happens quite often. Kids from Flin Flon Manitoba, play in the States in hockey with US scholarships...   Kids from Boston come to Montreal  and play for McGill or Concordia and Montreal kids play for Boston College...  Its quite sad that trump has made us enemies...   Its even sadder that some americans have accepted it!!!
