I came across an interesting link from Automotive News.... a Future Product timeline
https://www.autonews.com/section/product-timeline?brand=67671
It’s not totally accurate. For example, here is what they say about Tesla:
And I can tell you the Tesla Small vehicle isn’t happening in 2021. And the Roadster isn’t happening this year either.
But in spite of the lack of accuracy, it’s still interesting.

According to this the land cruiser, 4 runner and Tacoma are all getting new models in 2023. That's going to be an eventful year

That would have been just as likely 5 years ago when the 4Runner and Land Cruiser were still old. The current Tacoma is one of the newest designs in the segment, so I highly doubt that.

I like how Nissan’s says nothing about the Z or GT-R.

The Tacoma is actually the oldest in its segment outside the Frontier, which is coming in 2021...or was. None of these trucks are “new” designs though. The Ranger is a T6 from 2011, the Colorado is the 31XX from 2012, the Tacoma is just an extension of the N platforms from 2003, in fact the nissan d40 platform is newer than the N platform at 2004. The only “new” trucks are the ridgeline and the Gladiator.
Don’t forget all Toyota trucks are moving to a common platform soon, so it makes some sense to bring out a new Tacoma in 2023 as it would be 7 years old by then.

The Tundra is actually going to change? I love the first generation but the second just doesn’t do it for me. Too bulbous and too large.
