Toyota Trucks Get an Upgrade

At Bell Road Toyota we don't just sell cars and crossovers. If you're shopping at our Toyota dealership serving Scottsdale, AZ, you can't overlook our impressive pickup trucks. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma and 2019 Toyota Tundra can both be relied on to tackle tough jobs and terrain. Now we've learned a bit more about the next-generation editions of both trucks, and we know that they'll continue to impress.

The first big news is that both of these Toyota trucks will be built on the same platform. Obviously, this new platform, known as “F1,” will have to have a high level of modularity since these trucks are of two different sizes. The Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup truck, while the Toyota Tundra is full-size.

The Toyota Tundra will probably be the first to use the F1 platform. It hasn't received a major update in a while, so we're excited to see what a next-generation model will have to offer. The Toyota Tacoma, on the other hand, was just updated for 2015 and will receive a few new features for 2020. That could mean that its next-gen version is still a little while off.

There are also some other reasons to be excited for the new F1 platform. First, it could also be used to electrify some Toyota truck models as well. Hybrid trucks could still offer the power and capabilities that you need, but in a greener package. This new platform could also be used to underpin the Toyota Sequoia SUV. This model is based on the Toyota Tundra and hasn't received a major update in a bit, so we're looking forward to seeing what this platform could do for it.
