    What do you guy's and gal's think in the best looking model year for Tacoma's?
    Gen 1 95-04 ? Why??
    Gen 2 2005-2011 Pre-front end refresh Why??
    Gen 2 2012-2015 Post-front end refresh Why??
    Gen 3 2016-Current. Why??

    I don't think there were any other major makeovers without a redesign other than in 2012. Someone please correct me if I am work.

    1998-2000 had a decent front end facelift from 1995 version.
    2001-2004 had another decent front end facelift along with introduction of Doublecab
    2011 had a slight change to the grille (honeycomb style), 2009 the taillights went to LED.

    Should be more like:
    1995-1997
    1998-2000
    2001-2004
    2005-2008
    2009-2010
    2011
    2012-2015
    2016-

    I do like being as accurate as possible. But if no objections we'll continue as is.

    If ChadsPride agrees.(liked) Then that's better than the Good Housekeeping's seal of approval. :thumbsup:

    I think they are all ugly stock but they all can look awesome when upgraded with bigger tires, nicer rims and custom bumpers.

    2001-2004 Double Cab best looking.

    2017- PRO second best looking.

    GEN 2, 2005-2015 is the ugliest.

    My 99 Prerunner is the best looking truck I ever own, thinking of completely restoring when I retired.

    08-11 for the best interior.
    12-15 for the best exterior.

    I dislike the 12-15 steering wheel, test rode three but couldn't get past it.
