Electric Toyota Tacoma May Share Design And Architecture With Combustion Pickup Truck

Toyota is hard at work on a new Tacoma pickup truck ahead of an anticipated reveal later this year, but CarBuzz has reason to believe the next-generation model will spawn electric and hybrid versions of the truck sharing the same design language and underpinnings.

We’ve already seen what is believed to be the next Tacoma, thanks to leaked patent filings at the Brazilian intellectual property office, with a design inspired by the Tundra. The truck revealed in those patents is clearly a combustion-powered truck as it shows a traditional upper and lower grille, which would be absent on an electric variant.

However, upon further inspection, this is not the first time we’ve seen this design.
