    Hello everyone! New to this, and my first post. Read alot on here before posting. I am In the market for a 2016 taco sr 4cy ac 5 speed manual 4x4 with convenience package with options. How do you like it? Reason why I want the 4cyl is mostly money and I won't be doing anything hardcore. Occasionally a deer hopefully :) that way I don't have to wrap the deer in a plastic bag and put him in my passenger seat again.. Talk about freaking people out
    Anyways just want so input or your thoughts likes and dislikes. Thanks everyone and have a merry Christmas :)

    Read the automotive industry/journal reviews on the 4 cylinder Tacoma before you buy.

    There are no fuel savings whatsoever and the motor is anemic for the size/weight of the vehicle.

    Sweet looking truck! I actually saw all 3. Awesome step by step how to. I love your truck. I bought a 91 from an older guy so I thought its been taken care of.. I was wrong. Don't want to put to much $ into it because it's a 91 so had to do everything my self timing chain water pump ect and so much more. Now looking back I'm thinking why did I do that.. But now more issues so I just want to sell.
    Do you plan on doing anything to your truck at all?

    I plan on putting some 17" trd wheels on it eventually and maybe some bilstein 5100s with a small 2 inch lift or so!

    So many people are having problems with the V6 it's crazy. Forget that the 2.7 is a proven motor and it's Bulletproof!!!!!

    I'm taking that into account also. Just a hard pill to swallow to spend like 6k more for what I want but won't be using the v6 power. That's why I am leaning toward the 4 banger

    My 4 cylinder works just fine for me. I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. Unless I win the Illinois Lottery then I'll have a new Tacoma every time the warranty runs out on them.

    If money is the main reason for wanting the 4 over the 6 you might want to look at some dealerships. When I bought mine they had the exact same truck in a 4cyl side by side and it was only 1500 dollars diffence everything else was the same.

    Please do!
    I'm just waiting for more of a down payment. Is it a bad monthly payment? Or do able? This would be my first new car and somewhat young so I am a little skeptical on paying alot. Not that I'm cheap, its just I never treat myself so its really weird lol

    I pay 298/month with no down payment.

    Just installed my kicker comp rt 8 today...also added cruise control and waiting to get the variable wiper in. Have fogs and a 30" led bar waiting to be installed as well. Change out all my lights to leds and added the morimoto 6500k hid kit.

    Absolutely love this truck!
