The Toyota Tacoma has been redesigned for 2016, and recently hit showrooms. It made its live debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January. A similar model known as the Hilux is sold overseas and was also redesigned for 2016. I'm pretty sure the Tacoma will remain the the best-selling mid-size truck in America as it approaches its fifth generation. It is available in either Access (extended) or Double (four-door) cab configurations, and a 2.7L four-banger (159 HP) or 3.5L V6 (278 HP) under the hood. A single-cab configuration is not being offered for the 2016 model year due to a lack of demand. Power goes to either the rear wheels or all four wheels through a five- or six-speed manual, or a six-speed automatic with a manual shifting mode. It can launch to 60 mph in the seven- to ten-second range, onto a top speed of 109 mph. It can tow up to 3,500 pounds and gets approximately 19 city/24 highway mpg. The 2016 Tacoma is offered in five trim levels: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited, with a starting price of $24,200. The Double Cab V6 Limited 4x4 tops out at $38,720. In my opinion, the Toyota Tacoma is a great truck; It has excellent reliability and off-road capabilities. However, I'd rather drive a new Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon or a few 1/2-ton pickups, such as the current-gen Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 and Ford F-150 because they look and perform better than the Tacoma.
