Oh how Toyota loves to be sneaky with its teaser campaigns. We know a new Tacoma is coming, but at a glance, the above photo looks like just another image of the current-gen truck. However, a closer look reveals all kinds of clues that tell us in no uncertain terms this is something more.
To be clear, the blue truck in this image isn't a new Taco. It's the current generation model, shared by Toyota in an image posted to its social media channels along with a simple message: Patented good looks. Such posts certainly aren't uncommon from automakers, but lest we forget, the next-gen Tacoma's redesigned body was already leaked to the world in January courtesy of patent images from Brazil. And wouldn't you know ... the building in the background of this photo has a sign saying Brazilian Patent Office, with a blurry truck parked out front resembling the leaked images. Isn't that neat.
