Want to know what thirty years of evolution looks like on the Toyota trucks timeline? This infographic breaks down the differences between the 1986 pickup we all love and the 2016 Toyota Tacoma we’re eagerly anticipating. The vehicles are actually... pretty similar.

The Olathe Toyota Parts Center cooked up this nice little infographic for us, and it’s pretty neat. They say they weren’t able to find any accurate crash-test comparisons since standards have changed, but I’m gonna go ahead and guess the new truck is significantly safer. It better be for those extra 1,200 pounds of curb weight!
