2016 Toyota Tacoma is King of the Hill; To Revitalize Midsize Truck Segment - Master Herald
Since 1964, the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck line has sold over seven million units in the US alone, making it America’s best-selling midsize pickup for a good number of years. The all-new Tacoma is also expected to set the benchmark for performance and handling among midsize pickup trucks available in the market today. The all-new Tacoma is being manufactured by Toyota in its plant in the US to ensure that its design and features are suited to the needs of the American pickup enthusiasts. The Toyota Tacoma can only be found in the North and South American markets as the Japanese carmaker is producing the Toyota Hilux outside of those two major markets. The pickup truck draws strength from the all-new 3. 5-liter Atkinson cycle V6 engine with direct injection and six-speed transmission, which is the first in the midsize pickup market. Traditional pickup enthusiasts however were somehow dismayed upon learning that the Japanese carmaker has done away with the six-speed manual transmission in the Tacoma’s base model that is being powered by a 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine.
