Features and Specs of the 2016 Toyota Tacoma
The 2016 Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup truck that has garnered attention for its blend of utility, off-road capability, and modern features. This model year represents a significant redesign from its predecessor, offering improvements in performance, comfort, and technology.
The Tacoma comes with two engine choices: a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine producing 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, primarily available in the SR and SR5 trims; and a more powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. The V6 is paired with either a six-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission, while the four-cylinder is available with a six-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. The Tacoma offers both rear-wheel drive (4×2) and four-wheel drive (4×4) configurations, making it versatile for various driving conditions.
In terms of fuel efficiency, the Tacoma’s V6 engine achieves an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy rating of 21 mpg (19 city/24 highway) for the rear-wheel-drive models. The four-wheel-drive V6 models have slightly lower ratings at around 19 mpg combined (17 city/21 highway). These figures are competitive within the midsize truck segment.
The towing capacity varies based on the engine choice and configuration. The four-cylinder models can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while the V6 models can handle between 6,400 to 6,800 pounds depending on driveline and cab configuration. This makes the Tacoma suitable for light to moderate towing tasks.
