Actually the bed looks identical to the 2014 and 2015 models. The interior of the bed I mean.

That is what it looks like to me. All new sheetmetal around the old cab. All the media outlets say the big updates are under the the skin so we'll see. Hope to see at least the same powertrain as in the 4Runner (direct injected engine) right down to the manual t-case.
Kind of reminds me of what a truck would look like if the three trucks below had a threesome and conceived a child together.
Mitsubishi Raider, which is a bastard child of a truck on it's own account
2005-2015 Taco
2014 Tundra
And made this…. The 2016 Tacaiderundra!

Gross. It looks like a Dodge Dakota. Way too soft and highway oriented. Very disappointing.

Bedsides and tailgate...I meant.

Judging by the new air-dam on the front, they are working on mpg.
Do like the wheel arches, front end will have to grow on me...the 4Runner has, they seem better in person.
Trying to see if the it has rear disks...too dark when I zoom in.

It's not bad, but I still don't like it much. It would look a lot better without that enormous front air dam.
Does it look to anyone else like a separate design team came up with the cab without seeing how the front and back of the truck looked first? It would look so much better if the cab matched the rest of the truck.

That front is going to be a problem for after market plate bumpers. Looks like nothing will be a bolt on, break out the Sawzall. That may decide it for me right there, I'll likely be getting a 2015 simply so I can get aftermarket stuff right from the get go. I'm expecting most of the drivetrain revamp is going to be more directed at CAFE than anything else. As my camp truck does maybe 5000 miles a year tops that's not very important to me. As to the interior, well it is a camping truck so all the new bells and whistles likely not to interesting to me either.
Waiting for the 12th to be sure before starting to call dealers about a 2015!

Do all all the manufactures use the same design team?
Hexagonal grills seem to be the hawt thing now...
You're right! That hexagonal grill theme must be the hawtest thing. I kind of like it actually, BUT……it brings great pain for me to even say this but the Global Ford Ranger is probably be best looking of all the mid-sizers (and I HATE FORD and never have anything good to say about anything Ford), although I've always been a fan of the 2005 to current Frontier's conservative body design too. Ranger wins the beauty contest for sure and that pisses me off

The Global Rangers aren't bad looking.
I can't find a non-rendering picture.
Everest will have to do, most likely what the production Ranger front end will look like.

A rusty one at that.

Most definitely rear disk. (WHOOPS....my bad, this picture is the front!)
It is just me or does the cab and bed body lines not line up? That seems pretty cheesy. I'm thinking they did skin an old Mitsubishi Raider for body pieces
