1986 Toyota Pickup vs. 2016 Toyota Tacoma Infographic: Trucks Haven't Changed ... - autoevolution
Here at autoevolution, we genuinely like the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro . It’s probably the best compact off-road truck since the good ole Chevrolet S-10 ZR2, but how much did the Taco change since the heartland rock-laden 1980s. Olathe Toyota Parts... They decided to clear that out by producing an interesting infographic, comparing the 1986 Toyota Pickup to the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. Adjusted for inflation, the 1986 Toyota Pickup SR5 4x4 Access Cab is $20,491 in today’s money. Compared to the manual front hubs and shift-on-the-fly 4x4 HI front axle disconnect feature of yesteryear, the Tacoma’s 4x4 system is electronically controlled. In our opinion, the most interesting aspect of the 1986 Toyota Pickup SR5 4x4 Access Cab vs. 2016 Toyota Tacoma infographic is weight. Safety features, bundles of digital nannies and more modern mumbo-jumbo got the compact pickup truck fatter and fatter. We’re talking about 2,800 pounds (1,270 kg) versus 4,000 pounds (1,814 kg). Then again, it’s almost impossible to put a price on fuel economy, safety, and comfort. This is such a cool article for me (hopefully everybody), but I owned an '87 Toyota.
