Another fresh Tacoma Rock Climbing video

" "

2016 Tacoma rock climbing event.

 

Nice. Chrome bumper on OR? Maybe base OR package and not technology?

 

This guy is posting more Tacoma videos to his FB page.

 

What appeals to people about off roading?

Just curious why some like it. It seems a little boring to me. And nerve wracking. But that is probably what appeals to some.

 

I live in Wyoming. I spend a lot of time on bad roads. Off road performance is a must.

 

Doesn't look like anything worse than what I do with my 1st gen trd prerunner at the deer lease

 

Has anyone seen a white third gen?

 

All the previous prototype 16 Off Roads have color match bumpers, door handles, and mirrors. I hate the chrome bumper.

I like wheeling in the dirt. We like to exploration. It's always different even if you drive the same area multiple times.

 

It would be great if people could post links to any o

It would be great if any other videos or pics that guy has posted could be directly (like OP did) linked for those of us not on Facebook.

 

Not bad....maybe its just me but the little bit of chrome on that version look good imo

 

It is a little nerve wracking, and it can be thrilling. It can also be rewarding to look back over some crazy patch of terrain and say "I drove over/up/down that!"

Plus, I'm a gadget/gear whore. I'll load up the truck with some gear and head to the hills. I always look for even the smallest reason to have to drop it into 4 to get to wherever I'm going. Whether I have a passenger or not, I'll nod approvingly and dramatically, like I've got some secret ingredient and I'll get over the obstacle or whatever and I'll actually think to myself that I'm probably more manly now than I was 2 minutes ago. Those moments gettimg rare for me, so shit yeah 4x4.

 

There are a few different forms of off roading and people do it for different reasons. I enjoy the exploration aspect. You come across a dirt road and follow it and see where it goes. You can look up the trails ahead of time. i think of it like hiking with air conditioning, and music, and you can pack all the shit you want with you, and bring your dog.

 

We have a lot of desert around us here in socal and there is a lot of cool stuff we have found in the desert that isn't on any map or website.

A dinosaur trailer home
Countless bags of deaf turkeys
Open sample mines
Dry lakes
Open mine and well pits
Quarries, both in and out of operation
Cafes in the middle of nowhere
Hills with roads up the sides
Rock out cropping for scaling the rc rigs
Creeks
washes
Underpasses
Malls. Wait...

 

By the way, I talked to that Gary Rogers guy on Facebook. He works for Toyota. Apparently Toyota is doing a Tacoma product demo in Tacoma, WA with Bass Pro Shops. That footage of them crawling is that same course as the demo course. He said power feels very similar to 4.0 at low speeds. He also said torque would be the same as the 4.0, which could be rather vague. 261 and 266 are virtually the same. Anywho, if anyone is near Tacoma WA, they should check it out!

 

But what about empeegees?

 

For more pix (some from this demo) go to this thread. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/all-known-2016-configuration-photos.382935/

 

The torque is nearly the same so the power at low speeds feels about the same

 

I agree.

 

Have you driven one?
I've heard speculation that the low end torque will not be as high as the 2nd gen.

 

We have numbers, bro
