Village Pointe Toyota's 2016 Tacoma Review and Research
Designed for never-ending adventure, the 2016 Toyota Tacoma in Omaha is the perfect road companion for weekend warriors and contractors looking for an efficient midsize pickup that offers excellent capability. Fully redesigned, the next-gen Tacoma offers more refined driving dynamics on road and enhanced ruggedness off pavement. Ultra-strength steel has been incorporated in the body shell using a new hot stamping process that actually helps reduce the weight of the vehicle. The latest edition of the truck is not only lighter, but also firmer from the frame up and bolder in design.
Called a desirable choice among midsize trucks by several 2016 Toyota Tacoma reviews, the newly redesigned pickup doesn't just show off changes under the skin, but also inside the cabin and under the hood. Joining the carryover 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine is a brand-new 3.5-liter V6 that offers 42 more horsepower than the previous V6. It rates at 278 hp and 265 pound-feet of torque and comes paired with a new six-speed automatic transmission which features electronic shifting. The new transmission also comes standard on the four-cylinder or shoppers can choose optional manual transmissions with either powerplant. When properly equipped, Tacoma offers a max tow capacity of 6,800 pounds - that's 300 lbs. more than last year.
When you come see the 2016 Toyota Tacoma in Omaha, you'll be just as impressed with its cabin updates as its mechanical ones. More sophisticated and tech-savvy, the pickup introduces additional features, a revised instrument panel, metallic accents and greater use of soft-touch materials. Available new premium features include Qi wireless charging and an enhanced touchscreen audio interface, which augment last year's already long list of tech features. In addition, new safety technologies are offered, such as blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.
