2016 Tacoma social media leak

FXE is the atkinson-only version of the 2GR, used in hybrid applications. The 2GR in the new Taco is rumored to switch between atkinson cycle (which reduces pumping losses) at cruise and conventional otto cycle at full throttle. Lexus already does this in the RC-F V8.

 

"Rumor" has it

 

^We'll see in 9 days. It isn't a giant leap since the cycle-switching is achieved by more aggressive VVTi variation range. Most of the development work would've been to make the technology cheaper and robust enough for truck abuse.

 

I've already sat in a 2015 Colorado and the interior fit and finish is just as good as i had expected. I really like that little truck. Just wish they had other gearing choices for it....

Its no tacoma and i wouldn't buy a colorado....but i really like it

 

Cool story

 

Tell it again.

 

Wut?

 

Its little compared to a double cab 6ft bed silverado....which is what it was parked next to.

But the 2015 colorado king cab is 4" longer than my truck

 

Ken, any idea what a Tacoma would get for gas mileage with the new technology?

If the Taco doesn't see an average of 22+mpg I won't even consider one.

I am very tired of 300km per tank that I get right now.
I wish the showed a teaser of the interior so I could make a decision now on my next vehicle purchase.... Hopefully Toyota is listening

 

I'd bet that they have someone doing just that.

 

Have you been recruited to Jon's Troll Squad now or what?

 

I'm sure they're guy finds your mythical beliefs to be hysterical

 

Had something else typed and didn't fix the whole thing

 

I was going to say "I'm sure they're just finding you completely hysterical"

 

Don't you mean FCAU Toyota, since the Dodge brand won't be around much longer?

 

I agree, I wonder who was the genius who plan this idea.

 

I have a confession......









I like Ram trucks.
