Next-gen Toyota Tacoma and Tundra to be built on shared truck platform....WTF

I just caught this on the internet......A Tacundra???

It’s code named the F1, does that mean it goes really fast? Baja time?

 

I believe Nissan uses a Titan Frame under the Frontier even though it doesn't help crash tests.

 

Not unusual for Toyota. Alot of their cars/suv's share the same platform. Read up on Lean Manufacturing, they pretty much invented the concept. Basically, it means they produce more with less materials. So building two trucks on the same frame would be more economical for the company. If anything, a Taco built using Tundra suspension, or even a Tundra motor is a good thing. More towing/hauling ability for the Taco would allow it to compete better with other trucks in its class.
