2016 Toyota Tacoma First Drive Review - Motor Trend
, every “Star Wars” epic—but one doesn’t catch that feeling whatsoever with the hot-selling Tacoma. It’s not 1957 (Toyota’s first year in the U. S. ). the Tacoma has developed a loyal and very interactive (on the Interwebs) following. We’re not in Hollywood, California, where Toyota originally set up shop in ’57. No, our boots have landed in Seattle, Washington, a stone’s throw from the city of Tacoma. Toyota has provided precisely six hours of vehicle access to drive, learn about, and photograph (in that order) the 2016 Tacoma as swiftly as we can. Hour 1 First impression: Sensations new and familiar envelop me upon sliding into the driver’s seat of a Barcelona Red Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab. In contrast to the Tacoma’s outgoing generation, you no longer climb in and then proceed to fall into the seat. The re-skinned interior now falls in line with the majority of Toyota’s cars, meaning it feels at least two generations ahead of the second-gen truck. The components, the available gizmos, and the touch and feel of the materials, buttons, and switches should be more than enough to persuade a few Taco loyalists to come on down to Big Cal’s Toyota Emporium and get the paperwork started.
