2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab review
The resemblances (to place it lightly) continue under the skin. The wheelbase is identical, and overall size is just a few inches better on the brand-new truck. The bed is an inch deeper, however the very same size. And so forth.
On the other hand, you ought to recognize that Toyota had a very darn excellent vehicle to begin with in the outgoing Tacoma. Was it revealing its age, specifically as compared to promising midsizers like the reborn Colorado and also Canyon? Visually, maybe, but the Tacoma's stout underpinnings needed refinement, not reinvention. There's a lot of quality in the transformative technique.
The powertrain on this particular Tacoma TRD Off-Road is one shot of old-- a six-speed manual transmission-- and also round of new-- a scaled down 3.5-liter normally aspirated V6. Just like the bigger, V8-powered Toyota Tundra, and the 2015 Tacoma prior to it, everything plays together with delightful, unanticipated smoothness. You 'd never recognize the engine is down half a litre, and there's a great deal of additional pizzazz over the 3,500 rpm mark. The six-speed is actually fun to row through, and similar to the manual on the Wrangler, it feels like a good fit for an enthusiast-oriented vehicle.
Normally, I really did not have the opportunity to take the TRD Off-Road off-road. Thing is, I in fact wish to see just how it handles itself off the pavement now that I've spent a long time in the truck. I'll look for opportunities to do so when points heat up. And also I did pack on the miles in comfort-- and also deal with an absolutely horrible slog via the season's worst ice storm to this day with confidence. The truck really did not even toss a traction control warning.
That's the day I found one especially traditional aspect of the Tacoma: its four-wheel drive system. Forgetting to de-power the front wheels before transitioning from slushmaggedon to a dry, protected car park framework, I found the truck lugging, binding and-- to my shame-- stalling as I tried to make a tight transformed into a car parking place. So you'll absolutely intend to change it to 2WD, which you need to do manually using a console-mounted dial, before on-pavement maneuvering.
Well duh, you're about to inform me, probably in an insulting e-mail. This is standard 4WD things. True enough, but it's very easy to obtain accustomed to the automated 4WD establishing discovered on a boosting variety of trucks (consisting of the GMC Canyon). Detractors will certainly hold this against the Tacoma, proving that it lags the technological curve; fans will certainly state this boosts its hardcore off-road cred.
Wherefore it deserves, the gas economy estimates seem confident. With limited 4WD use, I returned 16.0 mpg. I had not been precisely flogging the truck, which included considerable number of traffic-free expressway miles.
Like the modestly resculpted outside, the indoor gain from a series of rather refined upgrades. The comfort designs are a little wonky at first, thanks to a seat that feels either a little bit too expensive or a little as well near to the pedals. But the cabin does really feel fresher, a lot more premium, less oppressively plasticky.
If the Tacoma has your passion, but the $36,630 sticker (including faux-beadlock wheels as well as other goodies will boost that also additional) 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, as well as the Limited beginnings at a soaring $38,720. Between those two extremes, I'm sure you can set up the Tacoma of your dreams.
