The 2016 Tacoma Will Be Unveiled At The Chicago Auro Show
Toyota plans to unveil the 2016 Tacoma at the Chicago Auto Show held from February 12-22. Redesigned with a new powertrain and stronger suspension tuning, the Toyota Tacoma should continue to lead the pickup truck category for off-road drivers and urban commuters. The legacy of off-road race victories has helped Toyota achieve over seven million units sold since the Tacoma’s inception in 1964.
“For the past 50 years adventure-seeking Americans have relied on Toyota trucks to take them places, on and off-road,” said Bill Fay, group vice president & general manager, Toyota Division. “The all-new homegrown Tacoma is a tough truck designed, developed, and built for lifestyles of the young and young-at-heart.”
2016 Tacoma Exterior, Engine Performance & Interior
A Truck With Refined Exterior Design
The Toyota engineering team that works out of the Ann Arbor, Michigan Toyota Technical Center designed the rugged, yet refined exterior of the 2016 Tacoma. High strength steel adds rigidity to an already stout frame. Toyota engineers upgraded the steel used to construct the body shell, as well as implemented a new hot stamping process that reduces vehicle weight. The result is a pickup truck that sheds flying debris and achieves better fuel economy because of less wind resistance. Inspired by desert racing vehicle designs, Toyota engineers developed an exterior prototype that includes muscular wheel flares and high-image reflects. The 2016 Toyota Tacoma projects an aggressive upper grille and taller hood that should turn heads in the parking lots of Nashville annual events such as Awesome April and the Antiques & Garden Show.
Performance that Rules Any Road
The high performance of the 2016 Toyota Tacoma stems from the redesigned segment leading 3.5-liter Atkinson cycle V6 engine. Toyota engineers equip the category leading engine with the automaker’s proprietary D-4S technology that features direct and port fuel injection. The dual fuel injection systems ensure the 2016 Tacoma receives maximum combustion caused by the optimal mixture of fuel and air. Although the V6 engine gives commercial haulers an edge in the hills of eastern Tennessee, Nashville residents that visit local iconic attractions such as The Hermitage and the Tennessee State Capitol may want to opt for the 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine. Both engines seamlessly work with the updated six-speed automatic transmission that includes electronic shifting for easier transitions between gears. Toyota also offers customers the new six-speed manual transmission to produce the type of power that enhances towing capacity.
