Tacoma Tour 2016

My TRD Sport came with heated seats. I'm in Canada though and it may not be available everywhere.

 

Factory heated seats have been available in Canada since 2008

 

But only in the limited version. For my 2010 I hat to install them myself.

 

Sport , not limited

I could have got them as an option on my Sport when I ordered it in '08

 

I would put it right up there with the Pontiac Aztec...in Top 10 ugliest vehicles ever produced at least.

 

Wow....a little too dramatic there.

 

will disagree.

If you find it so ugly, why take the time to post? It is clear your not interested in purchasing a 2016.

 

I asked Toyota Canada on Twitter (@TacomaTour2016) when they would be in Alberta or Manitoba and they said they would be in Cochrane on August 1st.

No other dates at this point. Sadly, August 1st won't work for me ... Gotta keep looking for other dates.

 

Ooooo yes!! Really!!?? I love that handle parking brake. Nothing scares the piss out of a tailgater than yanking on the brake quick at high speed.

 

I will have agree to disagree...

man...that thing is hard to look at.

Trying to like it...just can't do it.

Oh, probably like the other guys posting that find it gawd awful as well...bored at work... you're absolutely right, I shouldn't even post about it....it is like a train wreck, I can't look away.

 

I use my parking brake all the time. I live down a steep hill. I shift the car to second and coast with the parking brake on a little. It keeps the car at 30.

Waiting at a long traffic light, push it into Neutral and pull the parking brake a little to keep it in one place if not a flat street.

I also use the parking brake when I park the car, unlike a lot of people

 

Is it just the front view that you dislike?

Seems the side and back view is much the same as the 2nd Gen.

oh well, each to his/her own.

 

Mostly the front, e-gaaaads dat grill!

I do like the wheel arches...finally got rid of the overly huge fender flares...however the side view doesn't seem to flow very well...like the Tundra, they just slapped on a new front clip and bed, called it good. Looks cobbled together and rushed. They said it took 3 years to design it...gee-sas were they smoking crack that whole time?

Interior looks great, updated... yet it has some styling cues to the dash in the early 80's truck.

I have been waiting patiently for the redesign...have the cash ready to buy a brandy new truck, never bought brand new before...quite disappointed... planned on keeping it at least 15 years, gotta at least like how it looks just a little...don't want shake and bow my head every time I glance at it.

The power increase will be fine, more concerned about fuel economy. I imagine the mileage gains will be minimal...so not worth it, especially if it is hard to look at.

 

They weren't available from the factory until 2012. Earlier Canadian models had "port-installed" optional heated/leather seats, which are aftermarket seat heaters approvied by Toyota Canada and installed before delivery. They order the truck from the factory with non-heated cloth seats, then once it gets to Canada, they have the fabric removed and aftermarket parts installed. They're not the same as the factory parts, they're a bit higher quality than what you'd get from a local upholstery shop, but they're not as nice as the factory stuff either.

Incorrecto

 

What do you mean incorrecto? I work at Toyota in Canada. They weren't installed at the factory back then.

It's like incorrect with an extra o

 

It's a fact, it wasn't an opinion.

Why no heated mirrors

 

Hey don't go away mad , so I got the terminology wrong , I meant you go to the Toyota Canada build and price website and you could add Heated seats as an option , which is what I meant by factory heated seats
