Toyota is always the slowest to adopt. I believe they were the last hold out for carplay android auto next to subaru. They would put the same 5.7 V8 in the Tundra for the next 20 years if they had their way.

When you're buying for reliability, it's nice to hear "this engine design has been the same for 10 years and is bullet-proof" rather than "this new engine tech is an unknown" in the reviews. I do feel Toyota has the resources and skill to make EV mainstream, but I understand their reluctance moving away from a solid tried and true manufacturing + business plan.
- tonyarkles 5y agoNo clue if they've got CarPlay or Android Auto in the current generation of Tacomas, but I just recently bought a 2016 Taco and I am absolutely loving how smooth the stereo works with my phone. Sure, there's no screen mirroring or whatever those things do, but it just does the right thing all the time with respect to music, texts/iMessage, and phone calls. When I've taken calls on the road, people have been surprised that I was talking on speaker in the truck because they couldn't tell the difference.
