Kinda Random; Has anyone seen the new 09' Tacoma on the road?

I just saw one today. I was trippin' out on the taillights. I thought they were aftermarket, but they are new for 09'. integrated backup camera too.. apparently the camera is in the tailgate handle. Chalk one up for safety!

But I 'ono about the taillights.. It seems a bit tacky for an OEM taillight, almost aftermarket looking.

cool nonetheless, I think.

Hey, that's pretty neat. I guess Toyota had to follow suit?

I think I need to take a better look around during the next First Hawaiian Auto Show, because technology is becoming a blur.

yes the 09 toyota tacomas have rear view camera mounted in the tail gate handle, the rear view mirror has a small screen that turns on when put in reverse. the picture is pretty darn clear! finally factories follow aftermarket. the new colors for the tacomas are nice too...smoked headlamp are cool too! the painted the grill piece too! not flat black any more
