2016 AC I4 SR review

..................................... Inv | MSRP
AA - SR Alloy Wheels - $ 387 | $ 435

Acording to the master list AA is the SR alloy wheels.

 

That's an interesting find if it's true. Regular alloys are listed as not available on the SR

Which makes sense since the silver alloys are optional on SR5 trim.

 

After looking at this again I think the dealer got the prices mixed up. $545.00 for the convenience package and $435.00 for the wheels.

 

Here's the build price my sales guy gave me for AC 4x4 I4 auto.

 

I've also found a SR with black alloys posted on cars.com, so they are building them with those options.

Man you got me all excited about finally seeing the black alloys only to be disapointed by no pics haha

 

I sent them an email inquiring more info on the truck listed (specially asking for photos ). Hopefully they will respond asap.

 

I just got a reply back, the truck won't be on their lot until the 26th.

 

Comparing similar models I think will give a better idea of what the weight changes from 2015 to 2016 were.

2015 TRN265L-CRPDKA: 3,795 lbs (Access-Cab 2.7L 4AT 2WD)
2016 TRN265L-CRTSKA: 3,980 lbs (Access-Cab 2.7L 6AT 2WD)

2015 TRN265L-PRPDKA: 3,875 lbs (Double-Cab Short-Box 2.7L 4AT 2WD)
2016 TRN265L-PRTSKA: 4,095 lbs (Double-Cab Short-Box 2.7L 6AT 2WD)

2015 TRN245L-CRPDKA: 4,030 lbs (Access-Cab 2.7L 4AT 4WD)
2016 TRN245L-CRTSKA: 4,220 lbs (Access-Cab 2.7L 6AT 4WD)

2015 TRN245L-CRMDKA: 4,010 lbs (Access-Cab 2.7L 5MT 4WD)
2016 TRN245L-CRMSKA: 4,195 lbs (Access-Cab 2.7L 5MT 4WD)

So about 200 lbs +/- 20 lbs more for a 2016 vs. a 2015 of similar specs.

Will the rims from the 2016
fit a 2015?

 

The radio on SR and SR5 trims are a carryover from the 2014/2015 models.

You're right about the lack of MPG readout, but there's a TPMS light on the cluster.

 

That is currect.

 

Nope. 3rd gen is a 7 lug.

 

It would suck to get the 4cyl and then next year they come out with a new base engine that has over 200hp/torque and gets better mpg's.

 

Over 900 '16s now on cars.com and still cannot find one of them with these wheels. I guess these are going to be somewhat rare as most base models are going to come with steel wheels.

 

My eyes are bad but all the pics I've seen show six lugs for the 2016.

 

Finally found one with the black alloy wheels. Not the best quality, but there is a black SR access cab in this video:




I really love the whole murdered out look of this one. I would change out the tires for some ATs and add the predator side steps.

 

Yes they will.

 

Not the best quality photos, but better than nothing.
