Toyota has released pricing & model information for the 2014 Tacoma. New options for 2014 include a 'sporty' SR apprearance package, and 4 levels of Entune audio, with the backup camera screen moved from the rear view mirror to the Entune screen. The SR Package is meant to replace the X-Runner Tacoma Model, which is discountinued in '14. The package is only available on Access cab models (PreRunner and 4x4), and includes various cosmetic enhancements. No performance modifications appear to be part of the SR package.

There are also two new colors: Silver Sky Metallic and Blue Ribbon Metallic, but Toyota didn't provide examples of either. Luckily, pricing hasn't been affected much with an increase of only around $100 (0.4%). A 5 Speed auto V6 4x4 Tacoma with the Double Cab & long Bed starts at $28,285. Of course the TRD Off Road Package or Sport Package will increase that substantially.

Toyota also released pricing for the 2014 4Runner at the same time, showing an average increase of $1,330 (4%) for the SR5 and $2,370 (6%) for the Limited. These increases are (obviously) to cover the new design and features of both models.

This just came across the wire:

What is it? Why an FJ Cruiser Optimus Prime toy that (according to the translation) is AUTO-transforming.

With one of the largest exhibitor spaces at the Overland Expo, we can't wait to see what Overland Journal / Expedition Portal have setup this year. Last year their booth was one of the most remarkable so we expect nothing less this year. I doubt we'll see the Expeditions 7 trucks though since (last I heard) they were in Australia awaiting transport to the next destination. I'm sure the LR4 Build will be on full display, but we're really excited to get a little closer to their LJ78 Land Cruiser!

The Overland Journal / Expedition Portal booth is #7 in the trees, be sure to stop by!

Breaking News!

Our sources have told us that internal Toyota systems are showing the FJ Cruiser will in fact be discontinued after the 2014 model year. Although the demise of the FJC has been rumored since way back in 2009, this is the first ‘very likely’ news we’ve received about discontinuation. Toyota is not commenting on the future of the FJC beyond “there will be a 2014 model”, so this revelation will still remain in the rumor category until we get official word, which probably won’t happen until 2014.
