This 2015 off-road pick-up is recognized as one of the best-in-class pickups in the world. Big, tough and capable, it can conquer the desert, Baja or parking lots. Also, it is one of the most sought-after vehicles for contractors. The 2016 Tacoma was developed by the Toyota engineering team at Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Starting from the chassis, engineers added high strength steel to enhance rigidity. To create a truck to meet the needs of active drivers on a variety of tamed and untamed surfaces, the suspension was tuned to deliver a comfortable on-road ride, but strong enough for off-roading.
The Tacoma can be ordered with either a four-cylinder 2.7-liter or with a smoother 3.5-liter V6 engine. Both are offered as standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, but the V6 may be ordered optionally with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The Tacoma may be configured with 4x2 or 4x4 wheel-drive. Additional off-road technology includes Automatic Limited Slip and Locking Rear Differential, Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), Clutch Start Cancel (manual transmission only), Active Traction Control, and Crawl Control. Engaging Crawl Control allows the driver to select a speed of 1-5 mph.
For the comfort side, the 2017 Tacoma may be ordered with a touch-screen infotainment system, wireless charger, leather seats, and sunroof.
