2016 Toyota Tacoma Review
The 2016 Tacoma is known for being a great off-road truck. It comes with thirty different model options that range from the Long Bed Double Cab, Short Bed Double Cab, 4WD editions, Sport models, and more. As far as Toyota Tacoma reviews from drivers, downsides of the 2016 models include what seems to be a very sensitive brake pedal that tends to bite early, a rougher off-road quality in the SR5 that can get bouncy on rough surfaces, and more tire noise in the TRD models. However, with several different engines and models to choose from, the 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic provide an improved powertrain when compared to earlier models.
Toyota Tacoma safety features include dual front, front-side, and side curtain airbags, along with knee airbags for drivers and passengers in the front. Amenities of the 2016 Tacoma include power four wheel disc brakes with ABS, Voice Activating System, Siri with radio settings and phone Bluetooth connections.
