The Tacoma's cool new look was inspired by Toyota's off-road race
truck heritage. While it still has visual cues that align with previous
Tacomas, the new muscular, bold style sets it apart. LED daytime running accent
lights are available and there are four wheel and tire combinations, ranging
from 16- to 18-inch, and eight exterior colors, three of which are new.
There
is a lot new, even if it doesn’t jump out at you. The V-6 engine, replacing the
236-horsepower 4.0-liter, is now a brand-new 278-horsepower 3.5-liter. Torque,
at 265 lb-ft, is down one to the 2015 engine. A similarly brand-new six-speed
automatic replaces the five-speed, and there’s a new six-speed manual available
to the roughly five percent of Tacoma buyers who want to shift for themselves.
Towing capacity is as high as 6,800 pounds with a properly-equipped V-6.
The
2.7-liter four-cylinder is largely carryover, with the same 159 horsepower and
188 lb-ft of torque. It also gets the new six-speed automatic transmission, or
a carryover five-speed manual.
