2016 Toyota Tacoma Prices Leak Ahead of Fall Launch - Car and Driver (blog)
Ever since Toyota unveiled its all-new 2016 Tacoma compact pickup in January at the Detroit auto show, many questions remained, including which models would carry over to the new generation and, of course, how much Toyota plans to charge for them... For starters, some cheaper Tacoma variants will be dropped, namely four-cylinder Access Cabs that aren’t Pre-Runner models. For the models that do make the cut, prices start at $22,200 for the Access Cab SR 4×2, which is $1235 more than today’s cheapest Tacoma model, though that price now includes a six-speed automatic transmission to go along with the 2. 7-liter... At the top of the range is the $39,375 V6 Limited 4×4. Some 28 other permutations are planned, combining the Taco’s two available cab lengths, short or long bed sizes, four-cylinder or V-6 engines, and two- or four-wheel-drive powertrains. One interesting bit that the documents reveal is that Toyota needs 30 percent of all Tacomas to roll off the lots with a tri-fold bed cover, apparently “required to meet CAFE requirements. ” It will be a $650 option on most Tacomas but will be included on all Limiteds and any TRD model with the Premium & Tech package with the JBL sound.
