2016 Toyota Tacoma Price Jumps to $24200 - Motor Trend

The most basic Tacoma is a two-wheel-drive SR Access Cab paired with a 2. 7-liter four-cylinder engine. No longer is this stripped-down configuration of the Tacoma available with a five-speed manual. Double cab SR models start at $25,030, while 3. 5-liter V-6 models go for $25,810. Four-wheel-drive trucks with the standard five-speed manual start at $25,725. Standard features on all SRs include a 6. 1-inch touchscreen, six speakers, AM/FM CD... TRD models , which come standard with the new V-6 engine, start at $30,565 for the TRD Sport. Models in this category offer sport-tuned shocks and specially embossed interior fabric. Opting for the TRD Off-Road, which comes in a standard double cab configuration, will set you back at least $31,665. An off-road-tuned suspension with Bilstein shocks is just one of the upgrades you'll find on the TRD model. First off not all of the big 3 offer mid size trucks so that eliminates that discussion. Otherwise the big 3's trucks can be found to offer 5-10k off of their full size tucks bringing them around the same price as say Toyota. Plus only 265 ft lbs of torque down 1 from the 4. Is this new motor really a truck motor with these hp and torque numbers. Looks like after owning 2 Tacomas I will be looking elsewhere for my next truck. Source: wot.motortrend.com
