2016 Toyota Tacoma news
#62
Nope, current Tacoma doesn't have a moonroof, leather, power seats, auto up window, locking tailgate, bed lamp, heated mirrors, etc. Lots of features that most people want in a ~$30,000 vehicle these days just aren't available from the factory. Remains to be seen what the 2016 Tacoma offers!

I am digging the looks! A bit more aggressive. Very intrigued about the specs. Rumors are that it will get a 3.5L V6 with around 270HP. I find this odd considering that's basically the camry motors specs and with supposed Direct Injection, the HP numbers seem too low? Plus, the new Chevy mid sized twins have over 300hp, so how embarrassing
Thoughts?

I agree. However being down 30+ HP over the competition is a marketing challenge. I guess we will all know come Monday!

I hope that the upper trim levels have an option for some tech items like adaptive cruise, HIDs, telescoping wheel, blind spot monitoring etc. It is a 2016 model after all.

This would just make the 4.6L V8 completely obsolete. Sure it has slightly more torque, but much thirstier. It will most likely get the 270hp 4.0 V6 from the 4runner mated to a 6 speed.

The 4.0L V6 in the 4Runner is thirsty itself.
Tacoma is getting a new engine and transmission all together - it has been confirmed.
