Everyone loves tacos - 2016 Tacoma 6MT TRD Sport in Inferno Orange

Hi everyone,

So this is a lease. Do I care? Only slightly. lol.

I've owned about 5 S-Series GM trucks, and recently went to a 2013 Buick Regal Turbo and HATED it. It was a terrible car, the dealer service sucked, and it basically lived there. I had a rental more then the actual car....

So I said good bye GM, hello to the truck I should have bought 6 years ago. A Tacoma. Although, I must admit previously to 2016, I hated the interior. If I wanted a 2004 Camry, I'd buy one. The 2016 interior is PERFECT. (To me.)

Also, I must admit I still own one of the Blazers, and probably will never get rid of it, and may add a Typhoon in the future, but that bit of Stockholm syndrome is something I can't really explain.

So anyways, here's the truck. Basically I went to the dealer only wanting to SIT in a manual Tacoma, then....they bring around an Inferno Orange (Color I wanted), TRD Sport (Package I wanted), double cab (Also wanted that), in a 6 speed MT (Yeah, I was sold).















Said Blazer and Taco.



Consistently gets GREAT gas mileage. I average 19.2....



And I love my foam cannon.





So at about 2100 miles, I still LOVE this truck. It's been washed about 10 times too. lol.

I've installed LEDs in the interior and rear license plate.



And because f*ck air dams





Detailed it already.





Waxed and sealed it using Chemical Guys Black Light. THIS COLOR IS AMAZING.





And debadged the V6 emblem because it's dumb.



So yeah.

Oh, and you like that luck on the plates?!

 

Nice!!!

 

Thank you!

 

Installed taco link mirrors.

Totally plug and play. Just great!

I got this mirror: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-Toyota...900745?hash=item360871a9c9:g:M0EAAOSwShJXLWMR

Mine isn't backlit however.





Needs larger AT tires.

 

Installed more inferno.

 

Cool truck. I just ordered mine but have to wait for 10 weeks Curious about the mirror. I've been searching myself since the dealership wants about $700 bills for that baby. Is the connector on the back 12 pin? I was looking at a few other models and I think as long as it's 12 pin and wedge mounting it should work. Any chance you could unplug and take a picture of the connector? The inferno interior is so awesome with the matching paint. I decided on white, hope I don't kick myself!

 

As far as I know mine is out of a Sienna or a Camry, and is a Gentex unit. As long as you have the autodimming mirror, the Homelink mirror plugs right in. The plug they used is a 12 pin, and I've heard of people using mirrors from vehicles all the way back to 2004 Infinitis.

White is great on these anyways, but once I saw this Inferno one I HAD to have it.

 

Congrats on your new Tacoma.

Its a 4wd truck why does Toyota install an air dam?

 

Agreed. Everyone does though. Cafe Standards.....gotta meet them.

 

Not that I really think it does anything noticeable....

 

More inferno. Lol



Got a Tacoma badge for the glove box from eBay for like 4$. Totally wrong orange, so I dusted it with a metallic grey paint. Perfect.







This is the stockest I've ever left a vehicle and I don't even mind. I just really love it. Should have chunkier white letter tires though.

 

Anyways, some whoring of the rental.



















And then...clean taco.

 

I got a hitch shackle. Because reasons.

 

I love the Inferno color! I see you added the interior trim. Too bad you couldn't have gotten it from the dealer that way. It would have added the orange stitching in the seats! This color is making me second guess the '17 Sport in Blue that I'm looking at! I still think the blue might be a little better (looks better with the chrome accents IMO), but I need to see an inferno in person to really decide.

 

Someone I work with has a blue on with chrome running boards! Looks really sharp, but the orange is my jam. I love it. I need a BAMF grille lol

 

Hey guys.

It's still stock and has 10k now.



I did get an SR5 Grille. (Why don't these come this way factory....)



Said 10k.



More whoring stock shit.

 

If my truck came with the sr grill I wouldn't have changed it. I agree nice look

 

Thank you!

 

I like!

If the any dealer would of had a TRD Manual in stock I would of bought it no matter what, I couldn't even find one in Ca. I'm happy with my little 4-Banger though.
