New '16 4 banger owners thread

Well technically its more like Autotragic........... LOL

 

Excellent first truck. Had a several 4 cylinders too. Some like the simple things in life....that is a statement when owning a 4 cylinder. The 4 I tried out in 2014 when buying new was acceptable for my use except for the dreadful 4 auto. The 6speed takes care of that. It should perform reasonably. As a single person daily driver with lighter loads...fine.

 

Could I get some pics of the interior of the SR, and how does the stereo sound?

 

I can get u a few pics in a few minutes. The stereo is a heck of a upgrade from my 2013 base. My SR now has 4 speakers instead of just 2.

 

Appreciate it Corey.

 

Your welcome!!

 

Does the SR come already debadged? If so, that's another plus.

 

Here are a few pictures of the SR interior, and a close up of the optional SR wheels.

 

Looks nice Dave, and really like the wheels.

 

The huge grill looks much better in black than chrome. Black grill, silver truck, great contrast. Congrats on your new truck OP. My first 2 tacoma's were 4 bangers. Great engine and well proven.

 

I am really liking the darker silver color. And those wheels look awesome on it.

 

Yes debadged, unless you get the 4x4 then that's on the tailgate.

 

Still has the tramp stamp though!

 

Sweet!

 

Dave, can I get a pic of the seats? Thanks in advance.

 

Congrats!Silver color makes the 3rd gen.look that much better!

 

The 4cyl is not all that bad. It still has good power and if you are not hauling or off roading a lot its more than plenty. We have a 4cyl Colorado in our loan fleet and it replaced a v6 frontier and honestly while I can feel the power loss, its not that big of a deal. Still has decent torque and for some people, less power = less tickets.

 

I have a 12 4cyl reg cab 4x4 with a auto and it's not that bad. It's actually really good off road. I love my 4cyl and I am starting to hate having a regular cab.

As for towing the 4cyl can tow a lot for what it is.

 

I feel ya on that. I went from a 2008 v8 Silverado to a 2008 Evo X (best car I have owned) to a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 then to a Honda civic (this is where I died inside). Have on order the TRD Sport so I think it will be a good fit for me.

 

I have a base lx 2012 civic and I can honestly say, the underpowered engines are for people who just like to cruise.

65 with cruise control on and just sail effortlessly down the highway. I love the feeling. You do feel the drop in power on climbs....but so what? It takes you a minute or two more to get up the hill if it's long.

I am waiting to see what kind of longevity these engines have with the 6 speed.
