Changes/updates for 2007 Tacoma from Cars.com

I was just curious what (if any) info was available yet on the new model year 2007 Tacos, so I did a quick google and found this from cars.com. Not sure how reliable the info is...

<snip> The 2007 model comes with a bevy of minor changes, including rear seats in the Access Cab that now fold to accommodate a child seat. Access Cabs with sport seats also gain a walk-in feature for easier entry and exit. All Tacomas receive an updated two-tone instrument panel, redesigned radio controls and slightly larger seats. <snip>

Full article here:

I think he is making more of this "bevy of changes" than it really is. The only change I see is that the access cab looks like they might have added a front seat that pulls forward similar to a sports car. If that's what he means by walk-in? How much bigger can they really make the seats?

My access cab can already accommodate a car seat and it has a two-tone instrument panel.

I would take this article with a grain of salt. Further down he says the "Beds range from 6 to 8 feet in length." That's news to me.

He really dissed the X-runner:

"The performance-focused X-Runner doesn't provide much excitement; it's not very stimulating when the gas pedal is pushed hard. The Tacoma's notchy manual gearbox makes shifting gears more difficult than in some other trucks. In short, the X-Runner is more show than go, and it actually has a lighter steering feel than a regular four-wheel-drive Tacoma."

Harsh.
