2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab review
The similarities (to place it lightly) continue under the skin. The wheelbase equals, as well as overall size is just a few inches better on the new vehicle. The bed is an inch deeper, however the exact same size. And so forth.
On the other hand, you ought to acknowledge that Toyota had a pretty darn great vehicle to begin with in the outgoing Tacoma. Was it showing its age, particularly as compared to up-and-coming midsizers like the born-again Colorado and also Canyon? Aesthetically, possibly, however the Tacoma's stout underpinnings needed improvement, not reinvention. There's a lot of advantage in the evolutionary method.
The powertrain on this particular Tacoma TRD Off-Road is one shot of old-- a six-speed manual transmission-- as well as one shot of new-- a downsized 3.5-liter normally aspirated V6. Just like the larger, V8-powered Toyota Expanse, and also the 2015 Tacoma prior to it, everything plays together with delightful, unexpected level of smoothness. You 'd never know the engine is down half a liter, and there's a great deal of added zest over the 3,500 rpm mark. The six-speed is really fun to row via, as well as much like the handbook on the Wrangler, it feels like a great suitable for an enthusiast-oriented truck.
Normally, I really did not have the possibility to take the TRD Off-Road off-road. Point is, I in fact wish to see just how it manages itself off the sidewalk since I've spent a long time in the vehicle. I'll choose opportunities to do so as soon as things heat up. And I did pack on the miles comfortably-- as well as tackle a truly awful slog with the period's worst ice storm to date with confidence. The vehicle really did not even toss a grip control warning.
That's the day I discovered one notably old-school facet of the Tacoma: its 4x4 system. Forgetting to de-power the front wheels prior to transitioning from slushmaggedon to a completely dry, protected auto parking structure, I discovered the truck lugging, binding as well as-- to my shame-- stalling as I attempted to make a tight turn into a car parking area. So you'll definitely wish to change it to 2WD, which you have to do manually through a console-mounted dial, prior to on-pavement maneuvering.
Well duh, you will tell me, probably in a disparaging email. This is basic 4WD things. Real sufficient, however it's simple to obtain accustomed to the automatic 4WD setting discovered on an enhancing variety of vehicles (including the GMC Canyon). Detractors will hold this against the Tacoma, showing that it's behind the technical contour; followers will certainly state this bolsters its hardcore off-road cred.
Of what it deserves, the gas economy approximates appear positive. With restricted 4WD usage, I returned 16.0 mpg. I had not been exactly flogging the truck, and that included substantial number of traffic-free expressway miles.
Like the modestly resculpted exterior, the indoor gain from a collection of somewhat refined upgrades. The ergonomics are a little rickety at first, thanks to a seat that really feels either a little too expensive or a tad also near to the pedals. But the cabin does feel fresher, extra premium, much less oppressively plasticky.
If the Tacoma has your rate of interest, however the $36,630 sticker (including faux-beadlock wheels and also other goodies will improve that also further) is a stumbling block, keep in mind that this is for the tricked-out TRD Off-Road version. The base SR starts at $24,200, and the Limited beginnings at a soaring $38,720. Between those 2 extremes, I make certain you could set up the Tacoma of your desires.
