2016 Toyota Tacoma First Drive – Video - Off-Road.com

Thats the dilemma Toyota faces with the introduction of its third-generation Tacoma, an all-new mid-size truck it hopes will carry on its success in the segmentand possibly even grow it further. The timing for the change is rightand some would say overdueas the mid-size truck market has heated up in 2015. With the departure of Ford (Ranger), Ram (Dakota) and Chevrolet/GMC (Colorado/Canyon), the mid-size segment hadnt been so strong in... However, Chevy and GMC have re-emerged with new offerings in 2015, as we noted in our 2015 Mid Size Truck Shootout , breathing some much-needed life into the segment. But the rebounding economy is also making things interesting this year, because while Chevy and GMCs newest trucks are selling well, the Tacoma, celebrating its eleventh year in its current incarnation, just had its highest month of truck sales... There are quite a few things that set the third-generation Tacoma apart from the previous one, and Toyota wanted to prove it by inviting us to the Pacific Northwest, specifically just outside of Tacoma, Washington, to test out its new truck.
