A revitalized mid-size pickup takes on all terrains - nwitimes.com
Rebuilt inside and out with an all-new power-train and enhanced suspension tuning, America’s best-selling mid-size pickup for ten years running is a popular choice for rough road driving adventures. With a legacy of 7 million units sold since 1964, Toyota hopes to re-imagine the midsize truck category with the introduction of the Tacoma this season. “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 and general manager of the Toyota division. The new 2016 Tacoma was primarily developed by the Toyota engineering team at Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The new Tacoma will be powered by a 2. 7-liter four-cylinder engine and an all-new, segment-first 3. 5-liter Atkinson cycle V6 equipped with Toyota’s D-4S technology, featuring both direct and port fuel injection. Both engines will be paired to a new six-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift delivering quick and easy shifting. The V6 can also be mated to a new six-speed manual transmission. The new power-train makes the Tacoma more powerful and fuel efficient than ever before. Source: www.nwitimes.com
